Chapter 195 Chapter 193 Night Market Murder Case

The moon is like frost, but there are dark clouds covering it, and the wind is howling, as if it heralds the coming of a storm.

The civilian area of ​​Xingluo City was bustling with people at this time. After a day's work, most of the workers in the workshop chose to have a dinner heavy in oil and salt at the street stalls adjacent to the workshop area. .

This is the edge of the city. There is no luxury of nobles or the splendor of soul guides. There are only dilapidated houses and crowded streets. But it also has the simplest life and the liveliest atmosphere.

The stalls are filled with all kinds of food, including kebabs, fried rice, steamed buns, porridge, etc., but the most popular thing is the noodles cooked in a large iron pot.

The noodles are chewy and smooth with a rich soup base. There are also two pieces of fragrant and plump braised soul beast meat, paired with some seasonal vegetables, and the chopped green onion that is the finishing touch.

After one bite, the noodles mixed with the rich flavor of the soup break apart in your mouth as you chew, releasing the fragrance of wheat and the saltiness of the broth.

A simple noodle worth only five copper coins can appease the hungry stomachs of factory workers after a day's work.

The workers gathered around small tables and enjoyed the delicious meal with wooden bowls and chopsticks. They chatted and laughed, talking about interesting things that happened today and plans for tomorrow. Don't care about the cold wind and darkness around you, only care about the warmth and light in front of you.

"Boss! Let's have a pot of mutton hot pot!"

A worker with a strong build boldly ordered a dish that ordinary workers would not easily consume.

This worker with a strong build is Yan Gongyu, the foreman of the iron forging industry in the workshop area.

Although he did not break through the threshold of level 30 with the hammer-forging spirit, the increase brought by the spirit made him ten times more efficient at work than ordinary people.

This not only brought him a considerable income compared to ordinary people, but also made him one of the talkative workers in the workshop area.

He just completed a big order today, creating a batch of exquisite customized parts for the Little Reincarnation Academy. This order made him a considerable amount of money.

At this time, Yan Gongyu was in a good mood, so he came here to treat his men to a good meal to celebrate.

The spicy and fragrant hot pot was quickly served by the enthusiastic boss. The base was stir-fried with a variety of spices and butter, and the soup was made from bones of various soul beasts. Even without adding any ingredients, it is delicious. Appetite aroused.

The boss also specially presented a basket of freshly baked scones and a pot of rich and sweet rice wine, saying it was a discount to Yan Gongyu, an old customer.

Yan Gongyu took it with a smile, called his men to come around, threw the mutton slices and various vegetables into the hot pot, and waited for them to become cooked and tasty.

He picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in the sauce he made, and put it into his mouth, feeling the spicy and meaty aroma in his mouth. He closed his eyes and let out a sigh of contentment.

"Isn't this Tiandou Empire so annoying? Just like this hot pot, I'm sweating after just one bite! There's a passion like a furnace in it!"

He said, wiping the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand and showing a generous smile.

"Yantou, thanks to you, brothers can come out together and have a good time. I'll give you a toast!"

A thin but strong-armed worker raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted Yan Gongyu.

He is Yan Gongyu's right-hand man and his most trusted disciple, named Olaf Bulk

"Hey! You're welcome, just drink if you can, as long as you're happy. I think there will be more and more opportunities for us to have a good meal out like this in the future! Let me tell you, I'm watching the order from the Little Reincarnation Academy , there will definitely be several more batches later.”

Yan Gongyu said, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

After the successful production of the new farm tools, the Little Reincarnation Academy once again received an order from Wuhun Palace. This time the quantity was much larger than last time, so naturally the work of outsourcing the parts was assigned.

Yan Gongyu relied on his skills and reputation to stand out among many competitors and became one of the designated suppliers of the Small Reincarnation Academy.

This is a rare opportunity for him. However, how to ensure that the quality and quantity of your products can meet the needs and expectations of customers within a limited time is not an easy task.

"Okay! Respect Yantou! Respect the little reincarnation academy!"

Other workers also raised their glasses to greet him and drank all the rice wine in their glasses.

Yan Gongyu drank the slightly sweet rice wine and felt very happy. After the Tiandou royal family fell, taxes were reduced, and those damn local ruffians disappeared.

What's even better is that the spare money on hand is gradually increasing, and he plans to take advantage of the opportunity to recruit a group of people to build a workshop of his own.

Thinking of this, Yan Gongyu took another bite of the crispy pancake. If there was anything unsatisfactory, it was probably the workshop that received the order at the same time as him.

The owner of the workshop got a power forging hammer from nowhere. The powerful power was even more powerful than his own martial arts spirit. It was because of this that he did not take all the orders from the Small Reincarnation Academy.

But we won’t worry about these things later, the most important thing now is to enjoy the food and wine with your companions!

In the warm atmosphere, no one noticed the vicious and angry eyes lurking in the darkness.

Since Mu Zhe strengthened the alert level in the workshop area, the plans of those old and young people who wanted to make big news in the workshop area were forced to make changes.

After the crazy Dai Jinglie was blocked in all kinds of roads, he resolutely made the most extreme choice.

The night gradually deepened, and dark clouds covered the moonlight, making the originally narrow alley appear darker and darker.

There are some garbage and sewage scattered on the dilapidated sandy road, which emits an unpleasant smell.

The surrounding houses are low and dilapidated, with tattered curtains hanging on the windows and some debris piled at the door.

This is the edge area of ​​the city. Although Mu Zhe has tried his best to reform, the transformation of these places cannot happen overnight.

Olaf helped Yan Gongyu, who was already drunk, to walk step by step towards their residence.

Yan Gongyu talked drunkenly all the way, focusing on the technical points of how to judge the temperature of iron and how to lower the forging hammer.

While Olaf felt a little proud of learning new skills, he also sincerely admired his master. In this case, Yan Gongyu was actually thinking about forging. He is such a crazy forger!

Olaf lifted the master up hard and continued walking forward, when a black figure suddenly appeared on the side of the alley.

The shadow was tall and strong, with a black cloak covering his face.

The black shadow rushed towards the master and disciple with undisguised murderous intent!

"Those in front! Stop! We are from the workshop, don't cause trouble." Olaf warned the visitors. Everyone knows the influence of the workshop in this area, and no one wants to provoke a bunch of muscles. A united group of people.

But Olaf's warning was useless, the black shadow quickly approached and the distance between the two sides was rapidly shrinking.

Olaf did not dare to be careless and directly summoned his martial soul. An ordinary hammer, with two soul rings, one white and one yellow, floating alone.

Although he is a blacksmith, he is also a soul master. His martial soul is his forging hammer, and his soul skills are his forging skills. Although he only has two soul rings, his strength cannot be underestimated when facing ordinary opponents.

The black shadow approached Olaf, and his right hand hidden in the cloak suddenly stabbed out. Under the cold light, Olaf saw clearly that it was a dagger!

Olaf swung his hammer to block, but the shadow dived down to avoid the powerful and heavy hammer. Then he changed his hand and held the blade in his left hand, and slashed towards Olaf from the handle of the hammer.

With a stinging pain, Olaf watched helplessly as the dagger traced his right hand from the forearm to the upper arm, and was about to head towards his neck.

At the critical moment, the black shadow chose to retreat, and then a dark forging hammer hit the ground hard. It was Yan Gongyu's third soul skill, Wanjun Hammer.
