Firecrackers used to be a way for the common people to entertain, and slowly gunpowder arrows began to appear in wars, and then stone-throwing machines were used to throw gunpowder bags as incendiary siege weapons. So far, after Li Zhen ascended the throne, the border guards have been equipped with a large number of gunpowder bows and arrows, gunpowder artillery arrows and other weapons. Therefore, the law of Great Wei was very strict in its control over gunpowder.

After Pei Er received that a blood prisoner had fled to Langya County, and then there was information that someone was secretly collecting gunpowder, he concealed the news of the other fugitives, and told Hai Wuxian to only find the whereabouts of Tang Xunyi and Cai Xiahe, and lead Hai Wuxian to Langya. Sure enough, it was gunpowder that the fugitives secretly bought and sold, but unfortunately, Hai Wuxian was only slightly injured.

But it doesn't matter, he has already got what he wants to know, a piece of information can be sold to five or six people, from the news of Hai Wuxian's distress, Pei Er can analyze a lot from it, he is very good at this kind of thing, such as the source of gunpowder, the clues of the treasure and the court's intention towards the fugitives. Every time he saw Hai Wuxian, he could make Pei Er feel embarrassed, but it didn't prevent Hai Wuxian from being his lucky star. If it weren't for bringing Hai Wuxian to Langya, he wouldn't know that so many people had asked him about the fugitives.

This made him earn a lot of money from it, but also made him discover a new dawn in his life, a good man with ambitions in all directions, he decided to go to the capital to explore. There are two purposes, one is that most of the people who want him to buy and sell news are from the capital, and the buildings near the water are the first to get the month, and there are already many peers who are competing for business with him. The second purpose is to hide from the sea and Wuxian, according to the news that the Zhenfu Division has sent people to Langya County, and I believe that it will not be long before the news of Tang Xunyi and Cai Xiahe's arrest will come. After Hai Wuxian caught the two of them, he would definitely come back to him to inquire about the news of the other fugitives, I believe that Hai Wuxian had realized at this moment that he had deliberately guided him to Langya, and if he found him, it was estimated that there would be no good fruit to eat!

When he arrived in the capital, he settled everything, and took the initiative to show up to inform Hai Wuxian of the news of the other fugitives, so that he might be beaten lightly. The White Lotus Sect, which has been in peace for a few years recently, seems to have made some big moves, and gunpowder has appeared on the territory of the Seven Princes, and it can still be so quiet. All kinds of things that happened after the new emperor ascended the throne could make Pei Er smell the smell of silver from it, after all, whoever gets the news first has a better chance of winning. Do business! It's like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. He won't do a loss-making deal.

"He agreed." Cai Xiahe said to the woman with the hat who appeared outside the blacksmith shop with him.

"You trust him?" The woman in the hat asked rhetorically.

"To be honest, none of the people in the Pacification Division can be trusted." Cai Xiahe replied.

"Then you still talk to Tang Xunyi about the conditions with him?" The woman's voice was a little complaining.

"This is the best time for us to disappear. As long as we are "dead", the gunpowder thing will not be traced to you. Cai Xiahe explained.

"You think I care about that?" Dead"? You just kept your name incognito, ignoring what the Zhenfu Division did to the Cai family back then. The woman's voice suddenly sharpened.

"The Cai family's affairs, I will solve it myself, and it has nothing to do with you. I'll help you with the gunpowder matter. ”

"No, I've already given the man who smuggled gunpowder a large sum of silver, enough for him to live out the rest of his life." The woman in the hat refused.

"Money can only buy secrets, and you can't keep secrets. And "fake death" also requires a corpse. You've been exposed, and when it's over, someone will come to you, and you just have to tell him your name. Cai Xiahe turned and left.

————

"Sea catcher, it's so hard to talk to you now!" Tang Xunyi stood in the agreed place and said to Hai Wuxian.

"I'm sorry, Yan Chong watched them very closely, and it took some time to get rid of them." Hai Wuxian explained to the other party.

"If that head catcher from the Pacification Division and the old man who claims to be your butler keep an eye on you like this, our plan to get out may not be so smooth."

"Don't worry about them, I'll see the time to break them apart. How's your plan to cheat Cai Xiahe's death? Hai Wuxian replied.

"Cai Xiahe went to prepare the corpse to get out, and the last time he greeted you, there was still some gunpowder left. We're going to make an explosion in front of the head catcher, and you just have to make sure he doesn't find out anything in advance. Tang Xunzhi informed the plan.

"Yan Chong's side is fine, can you tell me the clues to the treasure?" Hai Wuxian didn't care about the previous gunpowder, nor did he inquire about the source of the gunpowder.

"The sea catcher is a little anxious! Now is not the time to tell you, don't worry, as long as Cai Xiahe and I successfully get out, I will definitely tell all the clues about the treasure that I know. Tang Xunyi excused himself.

"How can I be sure that when you succeed, you will definitely tell me the clues to the treasure. If you change your name and surname after you manage to get out of here, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and you end up with nothing to say. If you are spreading some rumors that the treasure clues have been obtained by me, not only the imperial court, but even the White Lotus Sect will target me, and I will not be able to find a tune when I cry! Hai Wuxian mocked the other party.

"Don't worry, although Tang is not a hero, but it can be said that after a famous family, it is not like Tang's style to speak back. Why don't Tang tell half of the clues he knows to the sea catcher first? Tang Xun saw that Hai Wuxian didn't seem to believe his words, so he asked.

"It's okay, but about the treasure, Hai has also inquired about a lot of gossip in the past few days. If Brother Tang said something well-known, then this deal would be over! Hai Wuxian warned.

"I believe that Hai Zhutou has found out that his father is the Tang Wu general sent by the emperor to find the relics of the previous dynasty, and speaking of which, my father and Brother Hai's father are also colleagues. At that time, my father and the more than 3,000 sins of the previous dynasty competed for the treasure, and lived up to expectations, and finally my father wiped out all the 3,000 thieves, but he did not find the treasure. Later, my father heard that there was a blacksmith shop in Langya County that suddenly became rich and got some gold, so he came here to check, and sure enough, he found a clue to the treasure of the previous dynasty here, and according to the Cai family, he went to the place where the gold was produced, but he didn't find it. Before his death, my father summoned me to his side and told me in a secret message, saying that the treasure was guarded by a tomb guard family surnamed Chen in the previous dynasty, and as long as the tomb keeper surnamed Chen was found, the treasure could be found. Tang Xunyi told Hai Wuxian the clue to the treasure.

"There are so many people surnamed Chen in the world, is there a difference between Brother Tang's clues and what he didn't say?" Hai Wuxian continued to ask.

"The whereabouts of the grave keeper surnamed Chen, after Cai Xiahe and I successfully get out, I will come to inform the sea catcher. Now the sea catcher only needs to lure the head catcher of the Pacification Division to this place. Tang Xunyi handed a note to Hai Wuxian.

"It's so far away, how can I find you afterwards?" Hai Wuxian asked, staring at the note.

"The sea catcher doesn't need to look for us, someone will tell you the "news" afterwards. Remember to seize the timing. Tang Xun advised.

.....

Indeed, as Tang Xunyi said, two days after Tang Xunyi and Cai Xiahe "died", news came, but unlike Hai Wuxian's imagination, it was not that someone secretly informed him, but that the news spread vigorously. The people in the entire Langya County knew about it, and some said that Tang Xunyi and Cai Xiahe had been asked about the whereabouts of the treasure and were killed. Some say that the seller who secretly smuggled gunpowder was betrayed by the two of them, and deliberately retaliated. Others said that it was done by the people of the Zhenfu Division themselves, in order to prevent the leakage of treasure news.

Woe to the east. The fox didn't fight, and he made a fuss in vain. There was no grave keeper's name reaching Hai Wuxian's ears at all, but Hai Wuxian was not worried. These days, he has been thinking about all his actions since he arrived in Langya County, from finding out about the fugitives to walking into the blacksmith shop full of gunpowder. Everything happened too smoothly, although it was a bureau set up by Cai Xiahe, but if there was no one to guide Hai Wuxian, Cai Xiahe would not have been able to trick him into the bureau so smoothly.

Hai Wuxian remembered the situation that day clearly, he didn't find out any news originally, he was about to give up but suddenly went to wander the street, and then was guided by Jiang Cong to the blacksmith shop, all because of the advice of Sister Comb, the spies of the celebrant supervisor. In retrospect, after the blacksmith shop was blown up that day, when Hai Wuxian was hiding in the oven, he vaguely heard a woman's voice, which was very similar to Sister Comb's, so he directly found Sister Mingyuezhai Comb.

Hai Wuxian heard it right, it was Sister Comb of Mingyuezhai who was talking to Cai Xiahe wearing a hat that day. Sister Comb was standing in the room at this time, she knew that someone would come to her tonight, before Tang Xunzhi and Cai Xiahe died, Cai Xiahe had talked to her and asked her to tell her name. She is really unwilling, her original name is Cai Comb, and she is Cai Xiahe's sister. When the Cai family had an accident, she was already married, so the things of that year did not involve her, she changed her surname and became a spy for the celebrant supervisor. After her younger brother escaped from the blood prison, she still wanted to avenge the Cai family with her younger brother, but she didn't expect the manpower of the Zhenfu Division to come to the door so quickly. had no choice but to use the collected gunpowder on Hai Wuxian's body, but he failed to deceive the other party. Now that her younger brother and Tang Xun escaped by fraud, Cai Xiahe explained that after she told Hai Wuxian her name, she also had to hide herself, and when the time came, she was dealing with Zhenfu Division, so she was waiting for Hai Wuxian.

"Since the sea catcher is here, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?" Sister Comb spoke, and she faintly heard footsteps outside the door.

"Name!" When Hai Wuxian heard the other party's voice, he knew that the other party had his own purpose, so he stopped talking nonsense and asked directly.

"Blood Prison Chen Xiu." Sister Comb didn't waste time, and answered the other party's questions simply and simply.

"When did you betray the celebrant?" Hai Wuxian, who got the answer, asked curiously, the celebrant master's method of dealing with traitors was very cruel.

"How can the sea catcher be so sure that the concubine has always been the one who is the master of ceremonies?"

Sister Comb asked rhetorically, Hai Wuxian knew that the other party was the person lurking in the celebrant supervisor, but it had nothing to do with him, he had already got what he wanted to know, so he didn't stay long, turned around and left.
