Chapter 52
"Then order one......" Su Xiaocai looked calm and composed.
"Come on...... the magistrate shouted, "take one of the evidence out and order it." ”
One of the officials took one out, and the magistrate also got up, took the county lieutenant, and led the officials to the open area outside the county yamen, and everyone looked cautious, and their expressions looked like they were facing a big event.
"Why don't you just set off a firecracker, do you have such an expression?" Su Xiaocai shook his head and muttered.
"Is this thing dry?" The magistrate asked.
"After yesterday afternoon's exposure, it's already dry."
"Okay, then take it farther away and light it!"
There was a man with a big head and a thick neck, who looked like a servant of the gang, and blew a fire fold, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, slowly approached the big firecracker, and after lighting the fuse, he quickly ran away......
Su Xiaocai has never seen such a flexible fat man in his two lives, and he is like a cotton ball that pops out, and with a whoosh, he is already behind all the officials......
Seeing that everyone looked like they were facing a great enemy, Su Xiaocai could imagine what a terrifying weapon the evil slave of the Wang family had said this firecracker was......
The lead snorted, burning shorter and shorter, and everyone's eyes widened, hoping that this would be earth-shattering!
However......
I only heard a bang, this one, there was no loud fart...... Then, after the giant firecracker fell, the mud seal had been washed away, but with a bang, the big firecracker burst into flames, then smoked, and then there was no movement......
"Hahahaha...... Is this what you call ordnance? Su Xiaocai couldn't stop laughing......
"Uh——!" Zhixian felt that his face couldn't be hung up, so he turned his face and glared at the evil slave of the Wang family, and said, "What do you say?" ”
"Mingfu, these things entered the water yesterday, and those mud seals were soaked and loosened, so after ignition, the mud seals were first washed away, and such an effect would be produced......
So, as long as we seal your mud tightly, it's going to blow up......"
I have to say that this evil slave of the Wang family is indeed a smart person, and he has pointed out the essence of the matter in one sentence and said the solution......
"Just do as you say, do it yourself, get it right, you go and light that thing, if it really explodes, and the power is relatively great, the county will cure this kid's crime......"
"Compliance ......"
This guy is not only smart, but also very hands-on, he has already made one in a short time, and he has carefully checked the lead, checked the amount of medicine inside, everything seems to be foolproof......
Although the gunpowder in these firecrackers was damp yesterday, but now that it has been dried, if the mud seal is re-made according to this process, it will definitely explode after it is ignited......
And the amount of medicine in these firecrackers is basically the same, this kind of black powder, if Su Xiaocai pays it out according to the golden ratio...... Although the purity of saltpeter and sulfur bought in this year may not be so high, and the power is still discounted, but in the eyes of people in this year, such power is enough to shock them......
"Mingfu, the villain has done this well, do you want to order it again now......
"Go ahead, less nonsense! If it doesn't work this time, then let the plaintiff go......"
The evil slave of the Wang family looked full of confidence, took the fire fold from the hand of the servant who looked like a man, and walked towards the firecracker calmly......
"Boom......!"
This time it really sounded, and everyone was stunned by the loud sound......
After a long while, Zhixian Zai came back to his senses from the shock......
"It's so big, it's really a thunderous sound! It's really not easy......"
The magistrate's words were interrupted by Su Xiaocai.
"Mingfu, the sound is a little louder, but can this sound kill people?"
"Well, it's a little loud in people's ears, but if you want to kill people, it doesn't seem like it should be enough now, right?" Although the magistrate is obviously biased in favor of the Wang family, he can't always talk nonsense with his eyes open in the face of the facts......
"So this thing, isn't it still a firecracker, it's just a louder firecracker! How can this have anything to do with privately manufactured ordnance? Su Xiaocai said.
"If you replace this paper tube with a clay pot, just use the amount of two firecrackers, and add some gravel and broken iron in the middle, and after igniting it, people within 10 steps of him, do you think there will be casualties?" The evil slave of the Wang family spoke quickly, and looked very polite, as if he was discussing this matter with you, not at all like he was in a lawsuit.
"It's up to you, go ahead and try! If it can really be proved that this can kill people, then this county will punish this kid...... We want to talk about human witnesses and material evidence......"
"Compliance ......"
A few servants accompanied the guy out, and after a while, he found a clay pot of a good size and came in.
And when he came, he was holding a small hacksaw, and the evil slave of the Wang family sat calmly in the lobby, and began to use this hacksaw to slowly sawed the clay pot in front of everyone, took out a few copper coins from his body, smashed them into broken copper pieces with a hammer, and found some broken stone chips that looked sharp, which were also mixed in it.
Then he peeled off two large firecrackers......
The amount of medicine in this makes Su Xiaocai feel a little embarrassed now, he really put too much, if he had put less gunpowder at the beginning, he would not have caused a lot of trouble......
The evil slave of the Wang family mixed the gunpowder and these broken stone and copper pieces together and put them into this clay pot, and the clay pot was almost full, and then he used some dry paper to roll out an eyeliner, and stuffed the clay pot tightly and pressed it tightly......
"Mingfu, now this thing should be an ordnance! Please find some wooden doors, bundles of firewood, etc., and fence this thing...... We'll know the power of this thing when we light it......"
"You seem to be very familiar with making this kind of thing, do you often make weapons privately, so you only know about this?"
"Li Xiaoguan, you are only half right about this, the villain did make ordnance before, but he did not make ordnance privately, the villain only worked for a period of time during the army...... This thing I'm doing so far is the Heaven-Shaking Thunder ......"
"How can a man like you run away and be a slave to others?"
"There are naturally some things in it that are not enough for outsiders! The earth-shattering thunder we made before, with a person the size of a human head, listens to the sound, and it is not as loud as the sound of your firecracker...... So the villain can conclude that you are making weapons privately!"
