Chapter Seventy-Five: Charcoal Poisoning (Ask for Collection)
Xiao Chenxuan was very depressed, this King Yue was so unscrupulous, he said that he would be drunk and rested, and he really said that he would do it, and he was drunk and poured into the toilet, but fortunately, his palace guards were clever and found out in time, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have to sleep in the toilet all night!
Xiao Chenxuan got up, rubbed his forehead, and drank a little sobering soup, then walked out of the bedroom, Nazhi, as soon as he came to the palace hall, he was startled by the old man Zhang Laosan who was wearing a cloak, and the palace housekeeper on the side was not much better, walking around in the hall, Xiao Chenxuan immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Lao Wang, what's the matter?"
Hearing Xiao Chenxuan's words, the housekeeper Wang Fugui noticed that his prince didn't know when he stood beside him, and he hadn't noticed it yet, he was a little embarrassed, touched his forehead, and then said to Xiao Chenxuan.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, many villagers in General Village yesterday, I don't know where I heard the rumors, saying that this beast charcoal can make a fire for cooking, one by one followed the devil, and hurriedly ran to dig this beast charcoal, and did not tell Zhang Cunzheng, today, many villagers have been poisoned by this charcoal, and the old slave is very worried."
What is animal charcoal? How is it that I have never heard of it? It can be used to make a fire for cooking, it can't be coal, right? Xiao Chenxuan frowned, and then spoke.
"What is animal charcoal? No one died, did he? ”
Hearing Xiao Chenxuan, the king of Ji, the old man Zhang Laosan, who was wearing a cloak, said with a crying voice.
"This is thanks to the prince, you hope for the prince's mansion, as soon as the steward Wang heard that the villagers of our general village were poisoned with charcoal, he immediately asked the imperial doctors in your palace to treat the villagers, so as to save the lives of the poisoned villagers, otherwise, I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable!
Fortunately, no one died, but why did these two old men look like they were crying? Xiao Chenxuan asked again.
"No one died, so why do you two look like weeping and mourning?"
The housekeeper Wang Fugui said: "Lord Wang, the old slave is worried that the children in the village are ignorant and will use this beast charcoal!" ”
Xiao Chenxuan was stunned, since this beast charcoal will poison people, isn't it okay to say hello to the children? Only then did he ask.
"What is this poisoned coal?"
Hearing Xiao Chenxuan's question, the old man Zhang Laosan hurriedly took out a small piece of coal from a small bag behind him and whispered.
"Lord Wang, this is it..."
Looking at the potato-sized coal, Xiao Chenxuan laughed.
And the steward Wang and Zhang Laosan on the side were full of black lines, what is the prince doing, they all said that the villagers were poisoned by charcoal, and they almost died, how could the prince be heartless and laughing?
"Why is the prince laughing?" Zhang Laosan was a little unhappy, but His Royal Highness King Ji was always thinking about the villagers of General Village, so he didn't know why His Royal Highness King Ji laughed when he saw this beast charcoal, Zhang Laosan was very puzzled, so he asked.
"I said you old man, you have a treasure in your hand but you don't know it, haha." Xiao Chenxuan opened his mouth and said.
"Lord Wang, you, you're not joking, are you? Just this beast charcoal, where did the treasure come from? "It's obviously a piece of beast charcoal, this Ji Wangjing said it was a treasure, Zhang Laosan was blinded, and he didn't believe it.
"Haha! Zhang Cunzheng, this thing is in your hands, it can indeed be said that it is worthless, and it can also be said that it is poisonous, but in the eyes of this king, he is a treasure. ”
After speaking, Xiao Chenxuan was about to reach out to take the beast charcoal in Zhang Laosan's hand, but before his hand reached it, Steward Wang swished and blocked in front of Xiao Chenxuan.
"Lord, I can't help it, this thing is poisonous, how can you touch it?"
Xiao Chenxuan waved his hand and said helplessly: "What's the poison?" This coal is of great use to this king, you two come quickly, where is this charcoal mountain? ”
Hearing that his own prince was of great use, Wang Fugui, who was nervous, relaxed and said to Xiao Chenxuan truthfully.
"Lord Wang, it is the hill on which the general's village is back, it is the mountain of Xu Shangshu's house, today, the villagers have this beast charcoal poisoning, Yu Sima has already greeted Xu Shangshu, and General Chen Xiao took people to bury these beast charcoal exposed outside."
Xiao Chenxuan was speechless, he was still thinking about mining on his side, but Yu Gang and Chen Junxi, the two second goods, buried the coal that was exposed outside and did not need to be mined manually.
But when he heard that the coal mine was not his own, but Xu Jingye's old fox, Xiao Chenxuan felt a pain in the egg, damn, if he wants to buy this mine, it seems that he has to deal with this old fox!
Hey, no, doesn't Xu Jingye, the old fox, have a son named Xu Song? I seem to have scared him, it seems that I have to find my good brother Xiao Chenhao to get out of the horse, get this guy to Wanhualou, and let him sell the coal mountain to himself.
Hey, I don't know if my good brother has had diarrhea in the past two days, whether he hates himself, if he hates himself, it seems that he can only give him a little coal shares.
With an idea, Xiao Chenxuan was very excited, and couldn't wait to see this coal mountain, how much is it worth? No, he said to Steward Wang.
"Let's go, take this king to see it quickly."
Eighth brother, what's going on??
As soon as Xiao Chenxuan's words fell, the voice of Xiao Chenwu, the king of Yue, suddenly sounded.
"Hey, the third brother is awake, haha, the little brother is about to go see a baby, since the third brother is awake, let's go together."
Listening to the word baby, Xiao Chenwu, the king of Yue, had a golden light in his eyes, what baby? Xiao Chenxuan, the wealthy King of Ji, was so anxious that he was very curious.
"Eighth brother, what a baby, I see that you are in a hurry."
Xiao Chenxuan didn't explain, and said incomprehensibly: "Go, you will understand when you get to the third brother." ”
King Yue quipped: "Oh, that must be a good thing, go, the third brother also wants to know what kind of treasure, so that the wealthy King Ji is not calm, haha..."
……
Soon, several people came to the foot of the coal mountain, the whole mountain looked black, and the coal was suddenly exposed all over the mountain, which was very conspicuous.
And looking at the people who were burying the coal on the ground, King Yue was very puzzled, and said that the good baby, wouldn't it be this beast charcoal! There are a lot of these things in the vicinity of their own defense against the South Korean army.
"Eighth brother, the baby you are talking about, can't it be this beast charcoal?"
Xiao Chenxuan laughed and said, "Haha, third brother, you're right, it's this beast charcoal." ”
Hearing that this beast charcoal was the treasure in the mouth of his eighth brother, King Yue was instantly interested.
"What do you think is a good thing? Hey, it's just this beast charcoal, and the hair is not, it's worthless at all, it's not as good as a few pieces of wood, used to make fires, and it can poison people. ”
Xiao Chenxuan was dumbfounded, Nima, who the dares to say that this coal is not as good as wood, do you want to? But looking at King Yue's disappointed expression, Xiao Chenxuan immediately realized that people in this era would not use this coal at all, they all made a fire when cooking, and it was extinguished as soon as the rice was finished.
Coal poisons people, which is obvious, charcoal only burns a layer on the surface, and it is not fully burned, and it must produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, which makes people poisoned by carbon monoxide.
Looking at this mountain of open-pit coal mines, Xiao Chenxuan was even more overjoyed, what others thought was useless beast charcoal, in his eyes, it was like a mountain of gold and silver, but he had to get it out of the hands of Xu Jingye, the old fox, and then find a way to use this coal mine, so that ordinary people could accept it, Xiao Chenxuan whispered in the ear of King Yue.
"Haha, the third brother doesn't know, this beast charcoal in your mouth, in the eyes of the younger brother, it is like a mountain of gold and silver."
"What, Eighth Brother, are you sure you didn't joke with Third Brother?" King Yue was very unconvinced.
Xiao Chenxuan nodded, and then said: "Go, starling, call Xiaopang, let him get Xu Jingye's stupid son to Wanhualou, and we will find a way to pit this coal for him." ”
After listening to his eighth brother's words, King Yue was speechless for a while, and all the money and wealth of King Ji came from the pit?
