Chapter 101: Countermeasures

"What's wrong?" The next morning, Zhang Ran, who rarely came to the household department in advance, saw Fang Tang appear in the household department with a gloomy face, and he also came to Fang Tang's side and asked.

"Yesterday, the piece of white cloth that was supposed to disappear with the corpse...... appeared in front of my house," Fang Tang looked at Zhang Ran with a faint look in his eyes and said.

And Zhang Ran was also shocked when he heard it, and he was afraid.

"No way, I was clear yesterday...... Could it be that someone is watching us? Zhang Ran made his own guess, and Fang Tang also nodded to acquiesce in Zhang Ran's guess

"Someone was warning me not to meddle." A hint of hatred flashed in Fang Tang's eyes.

After the white cloth was discovered by Su Yu yesterday, Fang Tang also used lies to hide this matter with great difficulty. Now that someone is clearly warning himself not to meddle in things, it is better for Fang Tang not to pay attention to this matter at all, and continue to investigate in his own way, then it is very likely that the white cloth will appear on Li Yuerong or Su Yu's neck.

Yesterday, when Fang Tang saw the wounds on the corpse, Fang Tang had already guessed what those people who were hiding in the dark were doing.

They're experimenting, they're experimenting with firearms!

Only firearms can inflict wounds of this magnitude, but judging by the fact that they deliberately wrapped a white cloth around the corpse's chest, they should still be experimental.

Originally, Fang Tang thought that he would tell Yuan Da more or less about gunpowder today, so that Yuan Da could pay attention to it and secretly find out what tricks these Westerners were playing behind them as soon as possible.

But judging from the current situation, Fang Tang was in a dilemma.

If you don't tell Yuan Da, then those Westerners are tantamount to letting it go, after all, they are just a small chengguan, and they can only monitor the actions of Westerners, if you really want to stop the Westerners, or arrest them, I'm sorry that the power in Fang Tang's hands is not so big.

But if the news about gunpowder is told to Yuan Da, what will happen to Li Yuerong and Su Yu who are at home?

Since they can easily find their place of residence in Chang'an City, then they will also have the ability to make Su Yu and Li Yuerong disappear quietly without knowing it.

"This ...... How can this be? ”

"Would you like me to send a guard at home to protect them for a while?" Zhang Ran understood the concerns in Fang Tang's heart, so he also wanted to do his best at this time.

Fang Tang also smiled when he heard it, and responded to Zhang Ran

"We are in the light, they are in the dark, if they really want to do something to me, even if I have a hundred guards around me, it will be in vain."

"The man who was hiding in the shadows is now threatening me with a white cloth, and this is just a warning, he wants to warn us not to meddle

They don't know how much I know about them, all they know now is that we've found an unidentified corpse. ”

"As long as we don't cling to this corpse, then the next period of time should be safe."

After Zhang Ran listened to Fang Tang's analysis, he also frowned and thought about something without saying a word

"Are we just left it alone?"

No matter how poor and lowly the beggars are, they are the people of the Tang Dynasty, our compatriots

If he really didn't ask about it because of a warning, then Zhang Ran would also become despised by himself.

"Of course we won't sit idly by, but we're going to do it another way." Fang Tang's determined appearance made Zhang Ran's eyes light up

"You mean to go down?" Zhang Ran looked at Fang Tang and asked

"You're right, on the surface we are not asking about this matter, but secretly we will continue to watch the development of this matter."

"I will tell my brothers that in the future, as long as we find a corpse in the city, we will immediately notify the government, and we will not participate in all of it, and let the government handle everything with full authority

But tell the brothers to let them keep an eye on it, and see if there is the same wound as the one on the corpse yesterday as soon as possible after discovering it. ”

Fang Tang began to tell Zhang Ran his response to this matter.

"At the same time, I still want Brother Zhang to do something?" Fang Tang said.

"Brother Fang, please speak."

"I know that Brother Zhang's background in your home is not ordinary, I want you to use your background to check the purchase of sulfur, whether anyone has bought such things in large quantities recently"

"Brimstone? Why do you care about such a thing, Brother Fang? Zhang Ran asked puzzled.

And Fang Tang smiled awkwardly when he heard it, and didn't answer, Zhang Ran knew what he meant after seeing Fang Tang's appearance.

"It's on me...... But I want to ask Brother Fang, should we tell Master Shangshu about this matter? ”

Zhang Ran's words made Fang Tang silent.

Originally, the establishment of the chengguan was to monitor Jack's every move of the Westerners, but now Fang Tang believes that even if the appearance of the corpses in the city is not the work of the Westerners, then it has nothing to do with them.

But because someone was secretly warning him at this time, Fang Tang was also a little embarrassed at this time, and he didn't know what to do.

"I have something I want to say to Brother Fang, I wonder if you would like to hear it, Brother Fang?" Zhang Ran's serious face at this time also made Fang Tang guess what Zhang Ran was going to say next

"Brother Zhang, you say it's okay"

"You and I are both officials of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what we do, we must put the country and the people first, and only when there is a country can we have a home."

"Now that someone dares to do such a unconscionable thing in secret, even if we do our best, we must find out the black hand behind the scenes, only in this way can we be worthy of the people and worthy of our official uniform."

"I don't mean anything else when I say this, Brother Fang is very smart, I think you should know what I'm talking about."

Zhang Ran's eyes stared at Fang Tang motionlessly, he wanted to see from Fang Tang's eyes what he really thought about this matter at this time, but Fang Tang arched his hand and said to Zhang Ran with very sincere eyes at this time

"Thank you Brother Zhang for informing me,"

After seeing that Fang Tang's eyes did not change throughout the whole process, Zhang Ran also said in his heart

"I still can't understand him."

Zhang Ran bowed his hand to Fang Tang, and then went down to find Zhou Xiaoer and them, and after Fang Tang saw Zhang Ran leave. The originally sincere eyes flashed a hint of loss at this time.

At the same time, Li Yuerong and Su Yu, who were chatting with each other at home, heard a knock on the door at this time.

Li Yuerong glanced at Su Yu and was about to go up to open the door, but Su Yu grabbed Li Yuerong at this time.

Fang Tang and Li Yuerong had only been in Chang'an City for less than ten days, and the people who knew Fang Tang and could find it here could be counted on one finger.

Zhang Ran and Zhou Xiaoer were busy with the city management outside at this time, and Aunt Zhang's family next door also went out to visit relatives in the morning.

Wu Xun Wu Neng is even more busy in Youzhou, and he has no time to come over.

Except for these few people, then who would know that Fang Tang's address was here? Who is this knocking on the door now?
