Chapter 1621 Loyalty is hard to complete!
"Zhu Cairong~?"
In the office building of the new workshop of Qiquge, Fubo couldn't help frowning after hearing the name Li Zexuan uttered, and said, "Master, wait a moment. I will look up the roster to see who Zhu Cairong is. In which workshop!"
As Li Zexuan had previously thought, there are thousands of craftsmen in the workshop. It takes a lot of time to find someone, not to mention that it will take a lot of time. Fortunately, all the craftsmen in the workshop have registered with Fu Bo. Now he only needs to send a few people to the roster to check if there is such a person as Zhu Cairong!
"Yeah! There is Lao Fubo!"
Li Zexuan nodded, then Fu Bo turned and left.
After about two cups of tea, Fu Bo finally came back. He took a roll of roster and said as soon as he entered the door: "Hou Ye! The old man has found it! This Zhu Cairong is a blacksmith from the steel factory. Those who enter the workshop in May, work very diligently, and have been rated as Grade A for four consecutive months!"
In order to ensure production efficiency, Qiquge Workshop has been implementing evaluation performance management under the instruction of Li Zexuan. Each craftsman is rated according to the monthly labor results of the craftsmen. The first-class rating is naturally the best. , Can get two consistent rewards!
"Steel factory?"
Li Zexuan's eyes flashed, then he got up and said, "Go! Go to the steel mill!"
"Master! Wait for me! The old man will go with you!"
Fu Bo didn't know why Li Zexuan was so anxious to find Zhu Cairong, but he could feel the eagerness in Li Zexuan's tone, and he quickly turned around and followed.
………………………………
"Hongsheng, where is Zhu Cairong? The young master is eager to find him! Call him out!"
It didn't take long before Li Zexuan and his party came to the steelmaking plant. As soon as they entered the yard, everyone could feel a fierce heat wave hit their faces. Of course, there was also the noisy sound of iron strikes that made people upset, Fu Bo Directly found Zhang Hongsheng, the supervisor of the steelmaking plant, and asked aloud.
This Zhang Hongsheng was the master casting master who helped Li Zexuan build a new type of plate armor last time. The son of a generation of famous craftsman Zhang Yajiu, who had only been in the workshop for just a few months, he got Li Zexuan with his extraordinary casting memory. His appreciation and Fubo’s reuse have directly become the chief manager of the iron and steel plant, the core department of the workshop. The speed of promotion makes the other craftsmen in the workshop enviable!
"Huh? Hou Ye? Hou Ye, are you back?"
Zhang Yajiu was drawing a drawing at this time, and he raised his head when he heard the sound. When he saw Li Zexuan behind Fu Bo, he couldn't help his eyes brighten, and he bowed his fist to Li Zexuan with excitement.
"Ok!"
Li Zexuan nodded, and then asked directly: "Hongsheng, is there a person named Zhu Cairong here? Where is he now?"
"Oh! Lord Hou, you and Fu Guan are here to find Cairong!"
Zhang Hongsheng scratched his head, and then I remembered that Uncle Fu had asked him the same way. He thought about it and quickly replied: "Cai Rong said that he was unwell at noon, so he told Zhang a vacation, and then he returned. The craftsman’s dormitory took a piece of clothing and went home! If you are in a hurry to find him, Lord Hou, Fu Guan, you can only go to his house to find it!"
The new workshop of Qiquge covers a large area. There are not only production plants and office buildings with various functions, but also dormitories specially prepared for the temporary rest of the craftsmen. After all, many times the workshop will It is too inconvenient if the craftsmen are arranged to start work day and night without the "staff dormitory"!
"What? He went home?"
Li Zexuan frowned, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. He stared at Zhang Hongsheng and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Zhu Cairong's dormitory? Take Benhou!"
No matter how stupid Zhang Hongsheng is, he can still hear something wrong in Li Zexuan's tone at this time. He put down the pen and drawings in his hand and said, "Okay! Zhang will take you with Lord Hou!"
Soon, a few people left the steel plant and walked towards the back of the workshop. On the way, Zhang Hongsheng couldn't help but ask: "Hou Ye, what are you doing to find Cairong in such a hurry? Although this kid is a bit dull, but He does things very steadily. If he accidentally offends you in any way, please look at Master Hou and don’t blame it!"
Rarely, Zhang Hongsheng actually pleaded for Zhu Cairong in front of Li Zexuan. Of course, this also shows from the side that Zhu Cairong is indeed a good character, but some...some too unlucky!
Li Zexuan frowned and said, "He didn't offend the lord, but was involved in a public case! The lord must be investigated!"
"Koan? What koan?"
Zhang Hongsheng widened his eyes and asked inconceivably.
Li Zexuan did not answer, but asked anxiously: "How far is the dormitory from here?"
Although he knew that the dormitory had been built for the craftsmen in the workshop, he had never been there, so naturally he didn't know where it was.
"It's just ahead, coming soon!"
Zhang Hongsheng pointed to the row of houses not far in front, and said.
After a while, everyone came to the "staff dormitory" of the workshop. Under the leadership of Zhang Hongsheng, Li Zexuan and Fu Bo came to a dormitory near the east. As you can see, there are only one bed and one table. It looks very rudimentary, but I have to admit that the house is clean and tidy.
"Huh? There seems to be a piece of paper on the table?"
Zhang Hongsheng frowned at this moment, looked at the square desk, and couldn't help saying.
After all, he stepped forward, took the piece of paper in his hand, and looked at it carefully. There were a dozen large characters crookedly written on the rice paper. Some characters were interspersed with Chinese pinyin. Obviously, Zhu Cairong’s The "literacy level" is not high, and words that cannot be written can only be replaced by Chinese Pinyin!
It is worth mentioning that with the implementation of "Datang Dictionary", Chinese Pinyin is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Not only children are learning, but also some slightly motivated young people are also learning. They want to use Chinese Pinyin to literate and recognize characters. word! Although Datang is not a low-grade in all things, only the era of high school, but people who can read have a high social status.
Zhang Hongsheng just watched it for a moment, his expression turned very ugly, until finally, he put down the letter in his hand, walked quickly to Li Zexuan, and said anxiously:
"Master Hou! No good! Zhu Cairong said in the letter that he is ashamed of you and lives in the world without a face. He...he wants to kill himself and pay for his sins with death!!!"
"What? You mean Zhu Cairong is going to kill himself?"
Hearing this, Li Zexuan's voice had increased by an octave, and his expression finally became anxious. He paused and said anxiously: "Quick! Fu Bo, take someone outside to find Zhu Cairong! Hongsheng, you follow! "
"Yes! Lord Hou!"
Zhang Hongsheng clasped his fists to take the command, and then he whispered: "I know where Cairong's house lives, so I'll go to his house first! Come with me!"
After all, he rushed out of the room in the first place.
Uncle Fu quickly yelled from behind: "There are horses in the stables! Go to the stables and lead the horses!"
…………………………………
After a while, six knights leaped out of the gate of the workshop and hurried towards Zhujia Village to the north.
The person at the head is Zhang Hongsheng, followed by Li Zexuan, Du'er and the four guards of the Houfu. Fubo is old and weak, so naturally it is impossible to follow.
Regarding Zhu Cairong, Li Zexuan was angry when he first learned that he was the one who smuggled gunpowder to the Tianlong Sect, because he asked himself that he had always treated his subordinates well, especially the workshop, and the material and financial resources he invested. Most of them are all, in order to improve the treatment and status of the craftsmen. Now there is a betrayer in this most core department. How can Li Zexuan not be angry?
However, after learning the specific course of the matter, Li Zexuan no longer resented Zhu Cairong. The ancients emphasized filial piety and filial piety is greater than heaven. If Zhu Cairong chooses to betray him in order to save his mother, Li Zexuan feels that this is excusable! Even if Li Er will eventually cure Zhu Cairong's crimes because of the Taimiao affair, Li Zexuan will intercede for him!
But he never expected that Zhu Cairong's temperament would be so strong, he didn't even defend himself, and he chose to commit suicide directly!
Since Zhu Cairong can be appreciated by Fu Bo and Zhang Hongsheng at the same time, it shows that he is indeed an excellent craftsman, and Li Zexuan is willing to personally "save" such a talent!
After running for more than ten miles, the group finally came to Zhujiazhuang.
Under Zhang Hongsheng’s leadership, everyone quickly found Zhu Cairong’s house. This was a very ordinary farm house. The gate was not locked. After pushing open the dilapidated gate, Zhang Hongsheng shouted into the house:
Cairong Cairong! Are you there~!"
The room was silent and there was no response.
Zhang Hongsheng was very anxious, and walked directly to the door of the room, pushed hard, and pushed the wooden door open.
Li Zexuan followed behind and entered the house, and saw that it was really "family disciples". There was nothing but a wooden table and a few wooden stools!
Zhang Hongsheng was a little unwilling, so he ran into the back room to check, but soon came out again! Then he went to look at the kitchen again, and returned to no avail!
"Master Hou, I have searched inside and out, but no one was found! And it seems that Cairong's house has been robbed, and everything is gone! Even the pots and pans are gone!"
Zhang Hongsheng came to Li Zexuan and held his fist.
Li Zexuan frowned, and said, "A thief? Which stupid thief would steal pots and pans? Go to the dealer next door and ask!"
"You are here to find Cairong, right?"
As soon as Li Zexuan's voice fell, an old voice came from outside the house, and everyone looked outside the house following the sound, and saw a white-haired rickety old man approaching here.
Li Zexuan greeted him quickly and said, "Yes! Old man, we are here to find Cairong. Do you know where he went?"
"...You, you are Lord Hou?"
The old man rubbed his eyes, then asked with an incredible expression on his face.
Although Li Zexuan's ideal is to be a rich second-generation otaku, things backfired. He often runs out of town, so many people near Chang'an City know him.
Seeing the old man recognize himself, Li Zexuan nodded and said kindly: "Hmm! Old man, are you...?"
The old man said excitedly: "Master Hou, the old man is Lizheng in Zhu's Village. You are looking for Cairong. Unfortunately, this child has moved away before!"
"Moved? Where did you move?"
Li Zexuan frowned.
The old man sighed and said: "This baby didn't say anything! After he came back from the workshop at noon, he gave the pots, bowls, and some rice, noodles and fish meat at home, and gave them everything that could be moved. He said he was moving to a place far away! Alas! This baby is also pitiful. His mother was killed by a culprit a while ago. I guess he wants to leave this sad place!"
Li Zexuan's heart was tense, and he wondered where he was going to move. It was clear that he had divided his "legacy" to neighbors before committing suicide!
So he quickly turned his head, looked at Du'er and asked, "Tianlongjiao killed his mother in the end?"
Du'er nodded with a pained expression: "Yeah! Longshou said that he doesn't like disobedient cultists, so he should give Zhu Cairong a little punishment!"
"brute!"
Li Zexuan couldn't help screaming~EbookFREE.me~ Then he looked at the old man and asked: "Zhu Lizheng, do you know which direction Zhu Cairong has gone in?"
Zhu Lizheng thought for a while, and said, "The little old man only knows that Cairong left the village empty-handed, and it is not clear where to go afterwards!"
"How can this be good?"
Li Zexuan suddenly became a little impatient. Suddenly, there was a flash in his mind, and he quickly asked, "Zhu Lizheng, do you know where Zhu Cairong's mother is buried?"
The old man nodded and said, "This little old man knows that his mother was buried in a mass grave by the river outside the village!"
Li Zexuan heard this without hesitation and ordered: "Go to the river!"
"Yes! Lord Hou!"
The three Houfu guards hurriedly clasped their fists to take their orders, and then ran out quickly.
