787 Night Burst
Xu Wen stood up abruptly and rushed outside the house.
It's time to go to bed at night, and the sound of the explosion is so clear in the middle of the night that it's just amazing.
When Xu Wen came out, Yan Ji had just come out of the next room, and the two glanced at each other and rushed in the direction of the warehouse together.
Both of them had very solemn expressions, and they were light and dark under the light of the torches.
When Xu Wen proposed to use this method to open the mountain and take stones, he made a lot of plans and made very thorough preparations in all aspects.
Dynamite / Ammunition, from the moment it was born, is a double-edged sword, and it comes with great risks.
Therefore, in terms of safety management and use, Xu Wen directly referred to many modern systems, discussed with Yan Ji for a long time, and made a lot of improvements in line with the current era.
But this thing is really too dangerous, and the slightest carelessness can lead to an accident.
Just like this explosion now, when Xu Wen heard it, his heart immediately hung up.
What caused it, mismanagement, accidents, or something else?
Has anyone been hurt?
Compared with fire/ammunition, explosives/ammunition have much higher safety and stability, but after all, they are still flammable and explosive dangerous goods.
If something happens to this, it will be a big deal, and it must not be overlooked.
Fortunately, there was only one explosion, and in retrospect, it was mainly because it was so loud to listen to in the middle of the night, and the actual scale should not be too large. That way, even if someone gets hurt, it won't be too ......
Xu Wen's heart was in turmoil, he walked very fast, and he didn't speak all the way.
Yan Ji was old after all, and it was a little difficult to follow, but he didn't say anything, just walked hard, trying his best to keep up with Xu Wen's footsteps.
Soon, the two of them came to the vicinity of the warehouse where the explosives were stored, and the sound of the explosion was indeed coming from this direction.
All the spare torches here have been lit, and the fire is blazing, reflecting the scene in the clearing.
Xu Wen was stunned when he saw it.
It was an open space outside the storeroom, where two men were held, kneeling on the ground, tied tightly with ropes. They bowed their heads deeply, unable to see their faces and expressions clearly.
But just looking at the clothes of the two, Xu Wen recognized that they were all workers who built the city, and they should be hired from the local area, that is, the people from Lao Fengchun City and the surrounding areas.
How could they be held here and tied up?
Now they were ragged and covered in blood, but there were no serious injuries such as blood or mutilation. The soldiers on the side guards were also intact, with solemn expressions, but there was no sadness or anger, and it seemed that there should be nothing serious.
Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but his hanging heart had not yet been put down. He strode over and asked, "What's going on?"
He is now the chief official of Fengchun Jiancheng, and he is the most important boss of these people.
As soon as the soldiers saw him, it was customary for them to kneel down and salute. But at last someone remembered and held his companion up.
Xu Wen has emphasized since the beginning of the construction of the city that everything is based on work, and it is enough to salute normally when he sees Shangguan, and there is no need to kneel or anything.
"Back to my lord, these two men sneaked in at night to steal explosives/ammunition, and we caught them! They tried to escape, but accidentally let a detonator/tube roll onto the torch and explode. A soldier stepped forward and pointed to a deep pit next to him.
Xu Wen discovered this as soon as he came, and he could almost imagine the scene at that time.
Thunder/tube fire...... This is really not a coincidence, and it is also their bad luck.
"Is anyone hurt?" he asked.
"No, it's just the two of them, they were blown up. The soldier glared at the two men and said hatefully.
According to the regulations of the treasury, although these two people were caught and did not cause major trouble, they would sneak in and successfully steal the mine/pipe, that is, they had a loophole in their mismanagement, and they would definitely be punished.
The soldier himself regretted it very much, how could he think that something could not happen, so he secretly drank two taels of yellow wine. Not drunk, but a little drunk, a little sluggish.
So when he went to the toilet, he was a little lucky and didn't alert his companion on the other side. As a result, when I came back from the show, I happened to see two figures, and I subconsciously shouted and chased after them.
Fortunately, I chased people and didn't cause a big disaster.
They're all educated about safety regulations and know how powerful these seemingly inconspicuous things are.
What if it's really stolen......
He was covered in a cold sweat just thinking about it, and that little bit of wine already knew where it was flying.
At this time, Yan Ji also arrived, how old he was, when he heard the second half of the soldier's words, looking at his eyes, he probably knew what was going on.
However, he pressed this in advance for the time being, and asked, "Who are these two people, and do anyone know each other?"
"I know. Another older soldier raised his hand, sighed, and said, "These two people, one is named Hu Da and the other is named Liu Gouzi, both from Fengchun. ”
"Fengchun locals?" Xu Wen was just about to speak, but Yan Ji suddenly interrupted him and said, "Don't rush to interrogate first, clean up here first, and then take your time." The warehouse is heavy, and there must be no omission, and we have to check again. ”
Yan Ji said as he glanced at Xu Wen.
Xu Wen didn't react, but subconsciously cooperated: "You're right, what about the registration form in the warehouse, show it to me." ”
The two quickly investigated to see what was stolen and what was stolen from, and thus deduced the safety hazards.
After the investigation, they found that there was nothing else, it was these two people who went in and came out to steal things, and this time, the number of other goods entries was very clear, and they were all worthy of the account.
But they were able to go in because they were local workers. They were able to come out because the soldiers of the guard drank wine and gave them a chance.
The night guard was in groups of two, and this man was drinking, and his companion must have known about it. The companion didn't drink it, but for the sake of his fellow villagers, he hid it for him.
"In the future, the candidates who will be on duty at the same time will have to be rearranged. Xu Wen said to Yan Ji.
"Yes, I'll adjust this. Yan Ji said.
"There are also restrictions on the status of entrants, and the level should be higher. ”
"Yes. ”
The two found the problem, discussed the solution, and left it for tomorrow to arrange.
At this time, Chen Gen and Liu Gouzi were taken to a cell a little distance from the warehouse and imprisoned, and after dealing with the affairs of the warehouse, Xu Wen and Yan Ji came here together.
On the way, Yan Ji yawned, and Xu Wen asked with concern: "Are you tired?" After dealing with this matter, you can go back and make up for sleep." ”
"Forget it, there are still arrangements for tomorrow morning. I've got to go in person. Alas, I'm getting older, and I think I used to be in good spirits without sleeping for three days and three nights. Yan Ji sighed, and ordered his subordinates, "Make me a cup of tea and have some drink." ”
After a while, tea arrived, and they also arrived in the cell.
At this time, Xu Wen had already realized why Yan Ji had dragged those two people inside for interrogation. He asked in a low voice: "Are you worried that the fact that the offender is from Fengchun will spread and affect the overall situation of construction?"
Now they are nominally building a palace for the emperor to welcome foreign envoys, but in fact they are building a spring city, so that all the people who are displaced and lost because of the disaster can have a place to live.
As a result, if you are building a city now, and your own people come in to make trouble, isn't that flattering to the blind?
If this news spreads, the blow to morale will be huge.
"Yes. Specifically, we still have to try it first. But whether there will be any follow-up effects of this matter, let's all be on guard. Yan Ji nodded.
Indeed, the fact that these two people are from Fengchun will always spread out, and he should also think about how to deal with it first......
"Let's see what's going on. Xu Wen pondered for a moment and walked into the cell.
