Chapter 40: Is the Thatched House Blowing Up Again?【Second Update】
The so-called ignorant are fearless, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
This world is sometimes really funny. The more you know, the more courage you lose.
It's like many children, who can play with mud and all kinds of insects without fear at all, and when they grow up a little, they will scream at the sight of a caterpillar.
Tang Xun, the head of the family, looked at the sterling silver barn in the warehouse, and really wanted to cry without tears.
After his stupid son came back from the dead, why did he suddenly become so unscrupulous?
Does he really not know the significance of this 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice?
For so many years, even the prefect Chen Yonglian couldn't get his hands on it, how could City Lord Hu easily let you move the dragon tooth rice back?
Sure enough, after a careful inspection, the well-informed Tang Xun found clues on the sterling silver barn.
"Secret Pattern Cross Lock! It's a Secret Cross Lock, no wonder...... The city lord of Hu dared to let Can'er move back, because he concluded that he couldn't open it and couldn't take the dragon tooth rice inside. But what was his intention? City Lord Hu must not be well-intentioned......"
Suddenly, Tang Xun, who was in turmoil, forcibly calmed down, thought about it carefully, and then began to calmly arrange measures to deal with it.
"Tang Fu, you send someone to the black market to find out all the news about dragon tooth rice. ”
"Tang Zhong, you take people to guard near the city lord's treasury, observe all movements, and report at any time!"
"Tang Zhu, take this silver ticket of one thousand taels, and check it out from those news channels we have arranged, at any cost...... This year's 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice in Jinling City, which family is the Lord Hu planning to sell to......"
......
In one breath, the head of the family, Tang Xun, sent three people.
Then, he asked the steward Tang Dafang again and asked, "Where is Can'er now?" You asked him to come and see me immediately. ”
"Back to the master, the eldest prince is resting in the house. I was tired all night last night, and I only returned to the house at midnight......" Tang Dafang reported.
"Well, forget it. Let Can'a have a good rest. By the way, tell me everything that happened last night. I think that Can'er should not be so ignorant, since he is sure to snatch food from the tiger's mouth of the city lord Hu, he must also have his own considerations. ”
Although Tang Xun's heart is anxious, his personality is that he is not panicked, he is not enough to go in, but he is more than successful, and he is more able to stabilize the overall situation.
"My lord, last night, the eldest prince ...... After transporting back the dragon's tooth rice...... Met the prefect of Chen...... The results ...... "Tang Dafang reported truthfully.
"Well, Can'er did the right thing, at that time, Can'er asked the convoy to slow down, just waiting for Governor Chen. If you want to get the relevant news of dragon tooth rice from the mouth of Governor Chen, it is not bad as I expected, this year's dragon tooth rice must have been sold to a great person, now wait to see if Tang Zhu can bring any specific news......"
After pondering for a moment, Tang Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Why?
Because he carefully analyzed Tang Can's actions and found that all this seemed to be in Tang Can's plan.
Since Tang Can had his own plan, Tang Xun decided that he couldn't make a mess of things, and focused on finding out the news from multiple sources, and the specific actions would be discussed after Tang Can woke up.
......
And at this time, the warehouse in the north of the city.
It was a relatively closed space without even windows.
However, there are always some ventilated gaps and small holes, which cause the temperature to rise as the sun rises......
The huge amount of feces in the warehouse, the accumulated strong odor, slowly overflowed along these crevices and small holes.
Because the vicinity of the city lord's warehouse was relatively empty, and the nearest house was also a hundred meters away, when the stench completely spread, the people who got up early covered their mouths and noses and began to look around, looking for the source of this strange smell.
"Damn, whose night pot is this that has been overturned? How can it stink so much?"
"That's the smell! I've had it since last night, and Lao Tzu is sitting in the Huixian Tower eating roast pigs! As a result, I slept and smelled the smell...... The roast pig in the dream turned into, and I ate all night......"
"I'm afraid it's not a pit full of coming out, right?
"Did the old Wang's baby fall into the pit again? I remember the last time he fell into the pit, and when he got up, he stinked two streets......
......
This smell is very magical, and it can drift far away with the wind.
At first, the taste was relatively light, but as time went by, it became more and more intense, and it became more and more choking, making people a little unable to breathe, and even dizzy......
The people around him covered their mouths and noses one by one, and it was difficult for them to continue their daily activities.
And this stench also attracted the flies and mosquitoes all over the city, and even like a tornado, a nest of buzzing towards the city lord's warehouse.
"Look, the flies are running over there...... The stench must have come from there. Let's join me in teaching you a good lesson, and the guy who made such a stinky smell......"
"Damn, if Lao Tzu knows who got it, he must let this thing eat a pound of......
......
The stinking people, some of whom picked up sticks, some picked up hoes, and all covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, and rushed towards the warehouse of the city lord's mansion with righteous indignation.
And the guards on this side of the warehouse, in fact, have already felt that something is wrong since last night.
How could there be a strange smell coming out of the warehouse?
Something is wrong!
Inside the warehouse, there are all the gold and silver treasures of the city lord Hu, at most some spirit grass and the like, it is impossible for something to rot and emit such a stench?
As a result, the captain of the guard immediately sent people to the City Lord's Mansion and the Qian Lord's Mansion to report the news.
However, in the middle of the night, the city lord and the money lord were asleep, and the subordinates did not dare to disturb their rest at will, and the guards who came to report could only wait at the door...... I waited until dawn.
Until......
The stench of the warehouse in the north of the city has drifted to the city lord's mansion.
The city lord of Hu, who was awakened by the stench, was immediately furious.
"Someone! someone...... Why do you stink? You minions, early in the morning, are you roasting and eating it?"
With a sudden, City Lord Hu jumped up from the bed and said in a furious manner.
"Sir, sir......"
The housekeeper had been guarding outside for a long time, and as soon as he heard the movement, he immediately opened the door and came in, just about to explain, but the smell of brought by his opening almost stunned the whole person of the city lord Hu.
"Why does it stink so much?" said...... Is it that the hut has blown up again? Why does it stink so much?"
What a noble person Hu City Lord is, he has to go to the toilet every day in a toilet covered with fragrant wood chips, and he can't stand the stench of this filthy thing.
But today's stench simply refreshed the limit of his patience.
