1057: Casting a Bronze Statue!

Casting a Bronze Statue!

Lord Ye thought about it and said, " How about this? I'll cast a bronze statue of an unknown hero and erect it at the gate of our city for everyone to worship!"0

Everyone accepted this suggestion.

However, someone asked doubtfully, " Then, are we casting male or female bronze statues? "

"Of course, it's male!" Someone immediately argued, " Since ancient times, heroes have always been men!"

"What are you saying? Are you looking down on women?" Immediately, a middle-aged woman said unhappily, " Who said that since ancient times, heroes have always been men? Can't there be heroines? So, the person who killed these bandits might not be a man?"

All of a sudden, everyone was debating whether it was a man or a woman!

Lord Ye pondered for a moment and said, " Everyone, stop fighting. We don't know if the hero is male or female. How about this? We'll cast two bronze statues, one male and one female. Everyone, don't worry about money. The government will forge one, and everyone will donate one. What do you think?"

"Mm, that's good!" The people below agreed unanimously.

Then, everyone began to discuss how to cast the bronze statue and how tall and strong it should be.

..

Just as the officials and commoners at the entrance of South Cloud City were discussing what kind of bronze statues to cast, Lin Yuelan, Jiang Zhennan, and Li Fazhi, under Ding Dashan's lead, walked towards the place where the emerald jade was produced.

However, Li Fazhi sat in the carriage and was puzzled. Did he sleep too well last night?

He slept until dawn!

This was something that had never happened since his father passed away.

The strangest thing was that not only did he sleep well last night, but it seemed that everyone in the courtyard slept well.

Even the patrolling guards. They had fallen asleep in a corner when they were patrolling and checking the safety.

Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, his conscience would be very uneasy.

Especially after Lin Yuelan had cut out the emerald, he was worried that they would be targeted by the horse bandits who had stirred up a storm in the city. Therefore, he specially instructed the guards to be on high alert. If there were any movement, they would immediately sound the alarm.

However, all of them slept until daybreak. Even the guards fell asleep in the corner, but the night was peaceful until daybreak!

How strange!

Li Fazhi muttered in his heart.

He pulled open the curtain and looked at Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan strangely. " Sister Lin, Young Master Nan, did you really not hear anything last night? "

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, " No, Big Brother Li. We all slept very well yesterday."

Young Master Nan didn't respond to Li Fazhi. He just looked at Li Fazhi coldly. It was obvious that he didn't hear anything and was sleeping well!

Li Fazhi said strangely, " That's strange. Yesterday, everyone in our courtyard slept so well. Even the patrolling guards slept in the corner. In the end, the next day, nothing happened to us. This is very abnormal!"

Ding Dashan did not know how to ride a horse, nor did he have a horse, so he had to share the carriage with Li Fazhi.

However, he was sitting at the front of the carriage.

Hearing Li Fazhi's statement, Ding Dashan asked in confusion, " Young Master Li, nothing happened last night. That's a good thing! Why do you keep asking? It's as if you expected something to happen."

Li Fazhi immediately said in embarrassment, " No. I fear that we might be targeted by the horse bandits ever since we left the market, so..."

When Ding Dashan heard this, he exclaimed, " Were you targeted by horse bandits yesterday? What should we do then? Once the horse bandits set their eyes on a certain person or family, they would not leave a single person alive other than robbing them. The horse bandits loved to steal treasures. Oh, right, you guys got an emerald yesterday. I reckon that the horse bandits who got the news will soon target you.

"Miss Lin, what should we do? Those horse bandits who commit all kinds of crimes have no humanity at all. They won't let you off at all. Why don't you guys not go to that place and leave South Cloud City as soon as possible? The further, the better!"

Li Fazhi's shop had been in South Cloud City for so many years. He had heard about the heinous acts of the horse bandits.
