The spring breeze is green and the lake embankment is wet, and the willows are wet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Mushi, Situ Hao, Cao Luoqing and others stood next to the two small mounds on the edge of the West Lake, and did not speak for a long time.

The sky was gray, as if it was about to rain. The spring breeze blew a pool of West Lake water, scraped the willow trees by the lake, and poured into Su Mushi's body, making her involuntarily hold her body with both hands to keep warm.

Yun'er walked up with red eyes, put on a coat for Su Mushi, and then looked at the two small mounds on the ground with a sad expression.

On the road in the distance, there is a field of wildflowers that bloom like fire in spring.

Su Mushi stepped forward, picked a bouquet of flowers and came back, and then gently placed it in the middle of the two mounds.

"Rest in peace, those will pay!"

Yun'er suddenly buried her head in Su Mushi's arms and cried loudly. Su Mushi hugged her head, wiped the tears from her face, and comforted her softly.

"Have you found the parents of these two girls?" Su Mushi asked Situ Hao and Cao Luoqing gently.

Cao Luoqing looked very depressed and lost, and sighed: "I found it." Both of these families came to Yuhang from other places, and both of them were only daughters. After the girl's parents found out that their daughter was missing, they searched all over Yuhang but couldn't find them, and eventually their parents were depressed and became ill, and passed away one after another......"

"Their other relatives are still being sought, but ...... I guess it's hard to find. ”

Cao Luoqing punched the hard stone and said hatefully: "I shouldn't have stopped the people in the first place, just let them beat the surnamed Liu to death!" ”

Situ Hao said coldly: "As far as the evidence collected by the Su family about that scum is enough, it is enough to make him late!" However, this guy has committed so many crimes in Yuhang, it is impossible for others to be unaware. Except for Tong Laosi, someone must have tried to sue him, but these news are like a stone sinking into the sea, there must be someone else behind this Liu Zhengye! Liu Zhengye said that Yang Tingshi would not let us arrest him. Lao Cao, use all your connections here, and give me a good check on the officials in Yuhang City, and I can't miss a single one! ”

"You're leaving?" Lao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Are you kid going back to move people?" ”

"It is estimated that there are a lot of people involved in this matter, and I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with one of them, so I have to go back and report to Hou Ye, and let Hou Ye report to Your Majesty. I hope to clean up these moths that have penetrated into the court, and return a piece of blue sky to the honest people of my Tang Dynasty! ”

Situ Hao put two pillars of incense on the graves of the two girls, and bowed respectfully three times with everyone: "Don't worry, we will definitely give you justice!" ”

The wind was stronger, and the heavy clouds in the sky were falling. The sound of rain falling on the ground starts from the distant horizon, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached the edge of the West Lake.

The "boom" spring thunder frightened many people.

"Bang la la"! This spring rain was unusually irritable, accompanied by rolling spring thunder, which instantly shrouded the entire Yuhang, along with the West Lake, in the rain curtain.

The rain was heavy and pouring.

On the edge of the West Lake, a few fast horses and a carriage rushed into the heavy rain and soon disappeared into the sky.

"This rain really caught up with the tail of spring, and all the spring rain that had not been over before was all at once!" Bai Qi sat by the study window on the second floor, looked at the heavy rain outside, dropped the pen in his hand, and rubbed his somewhat numb hands.

Li Tai bent down to hold the ruler, and said as he drew the line: "This rain is very good, at least it replenishes the moisture of the crops in the field." ”

This year's season is a bit strange, in the spring, the rainfall near Chang'an is very low, and the water level of the river is also constantly falling, which has a serious impact on the production of crops. Although water from the Wei River is poured into the fields through artificial canals, it is a drop in the bucket, and the water level in many fields is slowly decreasing.

However, it is gratifying to note that the potato seedlings are growing vigorously in the potato fields and do not seem to have been affected too much.

Now, at the end of spring, such a heavy rain is indeed a timely rain to be happy about.

"I've already got that explosives bag you gave me, when are I going to test it?"

Bai Qi turned his head to look at Li Tai and shook his head: "If you want to try, pull Your Majesty and your eldest brother." I just got ashore, don't try to drag me into the water again. ”

Li Tai let out an "oh" and continued to draw the design drawing in a low voice, and when he was halfway through the drawing, he suddenly threw away the pen.

"The design of this grenade you gave me, the projectile body is okay, but for the fire body, I have calculated many times, and some data always do not correspond to reality! This grenade simply can't be made. This time-delay device inside the ignition body, with the materials I know now, cannot achieve a safe enough delay at all. If you do it with the current technology, I'm afraid that if you pull the lead and rub it, then this grenade will explode. It's too short a time to be safe! ”

White picks up the paper on the table, which is densely filled with data.

"Then leave this to the bull and their interest to do first, we have other things to do!" White suggested: "After thousands of attempts, you will always find the right one." ”

The big cow who looks honest in the village is actually a genius in mathematics and physics! When White heard this, he was greatly surprised. Then Li Tai directly recruited Da Niu as a student, and often took him to do experiments.

Over time, some students in Tang Yuan, who also liked mathematics and physics, began to work with Da Niu and them, under the guidance of white chess, to set up an interest lady to take over the tasks assigned by the teacher under the task bar of the study office. In addition to being able to earn a certain amount of money, it also allows them to learn more things.

Li Tai glanced at the white chess pieces with disdain, lowered his head and rolled up the drawings and put them in his box: "Don't always bully my apprentices. After sealing and locking the box, Li Tai raised his head and asked, "The coal has been shipped back, right?" ”

White nodded, put down the book in his hand, and said, "Yes, they came back last night, and the results are not bad. I was going to go and see it with you. ”

Li Tai and Bai Qi got up, walked out of the study with umbrellas, and came to a relatively remote courtyard in the Hou Mansion, where there were guards guarding all sides.

When Master Zhang of the brick kiln saw Bai Qi coming, he immediately greeted him and said, "Master Hou, live up to your trust, we dug up two truckloads of coal from Shanxi. ”

Master Zhang led the two of them to one of the drier rooms. The room had been emptied for a pile of black stone-like things.

Li Tai stepped forward curiously, took a piece of black coal, went out the door, and then took out a fire fold from his body and lit the coal out.

Seeing the pale blue flames swaying in the wind, Li Tai smelled the air, called someone to come and calculate the burning time of the coal, and then ran back to the room.

"This thing seems to be poisonous when it burns!"

Bai Qi glanced at Li Tai and gave a thumbs up: "I obey you, you actually dare to suck the gas when coal burns!" When it burns incompletely, coal produces carbon monoxide, and you don't have to ask me what carbon monoxide is, just know that this thing can kill people. ”

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Li Tai glanced at Bai Qi and said dissatisfiedly: "Ventilation is not enough!" ”

Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, stretched out his umbrella, and went with Li Tai to the living room, where Old Man Zhang, who sold charcoal, and his group of old buddies were waiting for him.

When they got up the next day, the people of Chang'an found that the old man Zhang, who sold charcoal, no longer sold charcoal, but instead sold a kind of black round cake, which was covered with several holes, according to the old man Zhang, it was called coal, which was better than charcoal.

Overnight, shops specializing in coal appeared in both the eastern and western cities.

The old man Zhang, who sold charcoal, scattered his ox cart, let the old cow who had worked hard for most of his life have a good rest, and he took a group of old men into these shops, became the employees of the shops, and pulled coal to sell every day, a bit like a salesman in later generations.

"Old man Zhang, why did you start some coal business so quickly, who is the big shopkeeper of this thing?"

"Who else is there besides the little marquis?"

"Before, didn't the little Hou Ye rob your charcoal business, and you were still very angry when you came out of the Hou Mansion? How could he possibly ask you to do this? The man who questioned exclaimed in disbelief.

Old man Zhang smacked his lips and looked at the person who asked him with disdain: "Who said that Master Hou robbed us of our business?" Master Hou wants to give us poor people a bite to eat. As for us being angry, it's because Hou Ye wants to save face, and he has to give us half of the money he earns from a truckload of coal. We talked too much, and the little marquis scolded us. Of course, this is infuriating! You Chang'an people just like this, scolding others behind your back. ”

"That's it?"

"It's as filthy as you think! Do you want coal? I don't want to go to the next house, this area belongs to my old man Zhang, and you want to wait for the next car can only be tomorrow. After selling this car, I went home and hugged my grandson. If you want it, you can only go to the store and buy it yourself. Old man Zhang urged.

"You old man Zhang doesn't know which life to cultivate the blessings, this has all happened to you! Come on, pull it inside, I can't buy it! ”

"Haha, you're still the same kid as before. However, you must pay attention to burning this thing in the future, it must be ventilated, and you must remember! ”

Old man Zhang feels that doing things for the little marquis is different now, and life is very promising. The façade also gave himself these old guys half a year's salary advance, where to find such a good thing! I tried to apply, and I actually got it, and when I went back and signed the contract, I could get the money, go back and buy some delicious food for my little grandson, and I could also decorate the leaky old house.

Thinking of the good days ahead, Old Man Zhang's heart was warm. I just feel a little sorry for the little marquis, people can't bear to lose their work to eat, and they would rather suffer themselves than let their old guys suffer!

Bai Qi sat on the chair, looked at the ledger brought below, looked at it a few times, and then threw it to Li Tai.

Li Tai opened it and looked at it, closed the account book and said, "Now I have more funds to do experiments." Then he closed his eyes and gloated and said, "Those people in the Imperial Tower, my face is probably swollen by you now." ”

White sneered, this was all their own doing.
