Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

"If there is any crime, I will bear all the blame!"

When Lin Yi said this seriously, all the villagers felt relieved. "If you find out, you can just take the money and leave."

At this time, all the villagers gathered around.

"Boss Lin, as long as you don't rebel, we will follow you!"

"Boss Lin, if you have any difficulties, just talk to us!"

……

The villagers started chatting again.

"I can guarantee that it's not something used for rebellion."

Lin Yi made his assurance again, and combined with his previous responsibility, the villagers finally agreed to help Lin Yi find the iron mine.

Two days later, the villagers went to Liangzhou City to buy and collected a total of 200 kilograms of iron ore.

With these iron ores, Lin Yi started a furnace in the yard and began to smelt iron.

Erniu helped out on the side, and he was the main person doing the iron-smelting work.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, drew the shapes of the required parts step by step based on his own ideas.

"Boss Lin, what are these things?"

Looking at the individual bicycle parts, Erniu was stunned.

"Just cook it according to the size I want."

Lin Yi smiled slightly, as if hiding a secret, "When it's done, you'll definitely be surprised!"

Erniu was a rough man, so since Lin Yi said so, he just listened to him and did as he was told.

After a day of firing, the wheels and levers have basically taken shape.

In Lin Yi's design, the woolen seat cushion, wheels and handles are all highlights.

While letting Erniu cook, Lin Yi also made modifications to his own design.

No bearings, just gears...

While Lin Yi was busy making a bicycle, he was unknowingly being targeted.

……

"Did you hear that?"

"Niujia Village recently bought a lot of iron ore!"

"No way? What do you need so much iron for?"

In the restaurant, Liu Yu accidentally heard the discussions at the nearby tables.

Niujiacun?

Isn’t this Lin Yi’s village?

Thinking about how he was almost kicked out by Hong Xuanji because of Lin Yi, and his good friend was beaten up by him, anger suddenly surged in his heart.

"Of course, we have to privately manufacture weapons!"

"I think we can make armor with so much iron!"

Liu Yu chimed in, "Everyone, what are we still doing here? Why don't we report this to the authorities? Are we going to wait until Niu Village rebels before we realize it?"

His excited words aroused patriotic resonance among others.

Committing rebellion within Dayong is a capital crime!

Liangzhou is located on the frontier, and the war is already urgent. If anyone dares to rebel, it would not be an exaggeration to execute him on the spot!

Immediately, a group of people followed Liu Yu to find the prefect.

"How can this be absurd? They actually made weapons privately!"

The prefect had suffered a loss at the hands of Lin Yi last time, and upon hearing this, he was immediately overwhelmed with anger, and led his officers and soldiers to rush towards Niujia Village.

At this time, all the parts that Lin Yi needed had been made by Erniu.

"Thank you for your hard work. Take this thirty taels of silver."

Looking at the parts scattered on the ground, Lin Yi smiled with satisfaction.

"Boss Lin, I don't want money!"

"As long as Boss Lin can make our village better, that's enough!"

Erniu is an honest man. He sees Lin Yi helping Niujia Village get richer and richer, so how could he ask for more money?

But the moment Erniu opened the door, a group of people rushed in.

"Lin Yi, you secretly made weapons. Do you admit your crime?"

The prefect shouted angrily, and the officers and soldiers behind him and the angry people followed suit.

"Lin Yi, you're dead!"

"Illegal manufacture of weapons is a serious crime!"

Liu Yu also jumped out, looking very proud, "If you charge me with treason, even Prince Qing can't save you!"

"Privately made weapons?"

Lin Yi remained calm, even with a hint of a smile on his face, "Which of you saw me making weapons privately?"

"Isn't this what it is?"

Liu Yu casually picked up a part from the ground and asked, "Isn't this some kind of mechanical weapon?"

"How about this, I take this thing and kill you, and that will prove that I made a weapon."

"By the way, you can also punish me for murder!"

Lin Yi spoke slowly, picking up the front handlebar of the bicycle. "If I can't kill you, it proves that this isn't a weapon. How about that?"

"You...you're still making excuses!"

"Your Excellency, these are clearly weapons!"

There was a hint of fear in Liu Yu's eyes, and he immediately retreated behind the prefect, "Prefect, quickly take him down!"

"According to the Dayong Law, you can't even prove that I'm a weapon. Why are you taking me down?"

Lin Yi sneered and sat in front of the hall, "You don't even know what these things are used for."

"Then tell me!"

“What’s it for!”

"Don't tell me it's a weapon!"

……

Behind Liu Yu and the prefect, the people who followed were full of excitement and anger.

"If you don't understand even if I tell you, what's the difference between that and not telling you?"

Lin Yi waved his hand slightly, "I think you are just looking for trouble."

"How would we know if you don't tell us?"

Liu Yu continued to argue, "Sir, we should arrest him as soon as possible and execute him on the spot!"

The prefect did not move immediately. He only came over after hearing Liu Yu say that someone was privately making iron tools, which was a big deal.

Looking at all the iron tools in the yard, he had no idea what they were used for.

If it is a killing machine, it will not be worth it.

"I just melted some iron and made some little gadgets. Does that count as making weapons privately?"

Seeing some fear on the faces of these officers and soldiers, Lin Yi sneered.

"Prince Qing has arrived!"

These three big words once again saved Lin Yi's life.

"Why is it so lively?"

Prince Qing walked in slowly with a stern face, "Lin Yi, you are holding a banquet and you don't want to invite me?"

"No, it's the prefect who's here to abuse his power and pervert the law."

Lin Yi slowly stood up, "He slandered me for privately manufacturing weapons."

"Oh? Then did you make any private weapons?"

Prince Qing smiled and asked knowingly, then noticed the ironware on the floor and asked, "What are these?"

"bike."

"It is the thing I introduced to Your Highness a few days ago, the one with legs faster than a horse."

Lin Yi continued speaking along the path given by Prince Qing, his demeanor calm and composed.

"I see a pile of scrap metal. How can it make my legs faster than a horse?"

Prince Qing spoke in confusion, this time he was truly confused.

"Everyone, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Lin Yi began to assemble quickly.

After tightening some latches with a wrench, a bicycle appeared in front of everyone.

"Be careful not to get hit by me."

Lin Yi got on his bicycle and rushed out of the gate. His speed was not fast at the beginning, but as he pedaled harder, his speed became faster and faster.

Like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, it gallops away in a cloud of dust!

"He's about to run away, aren't you going to chase him?"

Prince Qing spoke deliberately, as if to see whether the bicycle or the horse could run faster!

Immediately, the officers and soldiers mounted their horses and gave chase.

A group of spectators also ran to the open area to watch the chase.

"Sir, if Lin Yi has anything going on in the future, it's best to inform me first."

Seeing the crowd being attracted by the chase, Prince Qing said coldly, "Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you can continue to sit in this position after abusing lynching like this!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly and took his men to watch the chase.
