"I don't know if the people of the Feng family can find it."
After leaving the dungeon, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha walked back hand in hand, their faces were a little better than before, and they were not so scary.
"At the time of the crime, you were still young, you shouldn't remember, the old lady of the Feng family was robbed because of gold, and the blow was too serious, and she died in a few days. The old lady of the Feng family also passed away soon due to excessive grief. Later, because the case was never solved and the gold was not recovered, the business of the Feng family's gold shop plummeted, and a lot of money was owed. The head of the Feng family sold his family's shop, belongings or something, reluctantly replaced his foreign debts, was disheartened, dismissed the servants in the family, and returned to his hometown with the family. Later, my father received news that on the way back to their hometown, the boat they were on encountered a strong wind and waves, and the whole boat capsized, and everyone on board was killed. โ
"Killed?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Can you find the corpse?" โ
"Nope." Shen Haolin shook his head and glanced at Shen Cha, "I know what you want to say, you have to see people in life and corpses in death, right?" โ
"Hmm!" Shen Cha sneezed fiercely, "Seeing is believing!" โ
"The place where the accident happened has been searched for seven days, and all the places within a radius of 100 miles have been searched, but ......" Shen Haolin reached out and touched Shen Cha's forehead, feeling a little hot, and frowned unconsciously, "Is it cold?" โ
"No, it's just an itchy nose, and my brother's hands are a little cold." Shen Cha held Shen Haolin's hand tightly, "I searched all the places within a hundred miles, but I still didn't find those people?" So, just declare them dead? โ
"It's not directly, it's only after half a year that there is still no news and no trace, so their household registration was removed." Shen Haolin sighed, "Therefore, there is no need to go to the people of the Feng family, even if they are still alive in this world, they will probably not want to return these gold." โ
"Why?" Shen Cha was puzzled, "This gold has been found, it should have been returned to the family, why not?" โ
"How many people's blood has been stained with this batch of gold, and how many people have died because of it, do you think they will want it? Even if it is wanted, the descendants of this Feng family are afraid that they will be beaten again because of the ownership of this batch of gold, and maybe there will be a few more lives. Therefore, it is wisest not to do it. As for what to do with this batch of gold, it depends on His Majesty's intentions. โ
"When my brother says this, there is really some truth in that." Shen Cha let out a long sigh of relief, "No matter what Your Majesty means, this batch of gold still has to go into the private treasury, it's not that I can't trust the people in the household department, but more is better than less." If something goes wrong, I'm impatient to fight a lawsuit with them. โ
"You don't need to come forward, just your Brother Xiaotian and Brother Xiaojing can spray them half to death, not to mention that Bai Meng is still here, if something goes wrong, he, the Great Commander, will bear the brunt."
"According to what my brother said, we still have a big magic weapon, and with her, we don't have to worry about it."
"That's right, so, you'd better worry less!" Shen Haolin lightly tapped twice on Shen Cha's head, "What you Xiaotian said is really right, you, you will always say one thing and do another." โ
"What's she thinking about again?"
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha followed the prestige, and saw Xue Ruitian standing at the door of the flower hall wrapped in a thick coat. Seeing that their eyes turned to him, he waved his paws excitedly.
"What's going on? Don't you feel cold? Shen Haolin pulled Shen Cha and walked quickly to Xue Ruitian's side, "What, do you still want Jin Miaomiao to serve you for two more days?" Does her new cold recipe work? โ
"Eh, don't, I don't want to provoke her casually anymore, her recipe, drink it once and spit it once, I think she is determined to fix me." Xue Ruitian followed Shen Haolin and Shen Cha into the flower hall, "By the way, what were you talking about just now?" Also, what did the Assassins find worthy of a drink, and they were so eager for you to see it? โ
"I really found something amazing!" Shen Haolin took off his cloak and handed it to Merlin, he looked at Xue Ruitian, and then at Jin Jing, Bai Meng and Ye Lunan, "Even if you want to break your head, you will never guess." โ
"Really?" Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing exchanged glances, "Since we can't guess, then you don't sell Guanzi anymore, hurry up!" โ
"Gunpowder!"
"......" Xue Ruitian blinked, turned around and grabbed Jin Jing, "Did I have auditory hallucinations just now?" โ
โโฆโฆ I'm sorry to tell you no. Jin Jing frowned and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Gunpowder? What kind of gunpowder? โ
"Very good color, high quality." Shen Haolin gave Shen Cha a bowl of hot mutton soup, sprinkled some spices from Da Shi in it, and handed it to Shen Cha's hand, "Drink it while it's hot." โ
"Oh!" Shen Cha took a sip of the soup bowl, and raised his eyebrows at Xue Ruitian, who was speechless, "Not only is the color and quality good, but the quantity is also huge, I counted it, there are a full thirty cans." โ
"Are the Duan people crazy?" Bai Meng put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Thirty cans of gunpowder, if it really blows up, it is not only Jiaping Guancheng that is unlucky, but also several border passes of Liao Country closest to us will also be razed to the ground." They...... How dare they...... How dare you do that? Is a little Duan so eager to provoke the anger of Liao and Xia? โ
"Gunpowder!"
Xue Ruitian finally came to his senses, only to find that he had been pulled back by Jin Jing and sat down, he slapped the table hard, so frightened that Yelu Nan next to him almost threw out the chopsticks in his hand.
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye, calm down!" Yelu Nan patted Xue Ruitian's arm, "Don't be so excited, since you've found it, that thing won't run away on its own long legs, right?" โ
"How can I not be excited?" Xue Ruitian slapped the table, "You haven't seen the power of a large amount of gunpowder explosion, but I've seen it." โ
"You've seen it?" Bai Meng squinted at him for a while, "Oh, I remember, thirteen years ago, the fire at the Stone Buddha Nunnery on the outskirts of Xijing was caused by the explosion of a large amount of gunpowder. Hou Ye...... Is it a personal experience? โ
"Yes, I can't forget that time to this day." Xue Ruitian took a deep breath, "I remember that day I followed my mother to incense, and after walking far away, something happened in the nunnery. At the moment of the explosion, we felt that the heavens and the earth were shaking violently, and the carriage we were riding in turned over, and the horses were frightened and dragged the overturned carriage to run wildly. Fortunately, the tremors were just two times, and he quickly regained his composure. The uninjured guards quickly subdued the frightened horses, which saved my mother and me. After speaking, he closed his eyes and shook his head, "It took me a few days before I learned from my father that the monks in the Stone Buddha Nunnery were all remnants of the previous dynasty, so I was holding back to make something to make trouble for Daxia." My father said that the gunpowder they used was very impurities, otherwise the consequences would be even more disastrous. โ
"Brother Xiaotian, don't worry, with my brother here, with you, and the commander, we will definitely not be able to do anything like this here, so you don't have to worry." Shen Cha, who finished drinking the soup, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "However, there is one thing that must be taken seriously." She looked at Yelu Nan, "These people can hide so much gunpowder in Jiaping Pass, it is difficult to guarantee that the same problem will not occur at the border pass of Liaoguo." โ
"General Shen is right." Yelu Nan Zhengse said, "I was also thinking about this issue just now, there was such a big incident in Jiaping Guancheng, which has such strict control, and we who never care about gunpowder ......" He smiled bitterly, "In the eyes of people with ulterior motives, I'm afraid it's like a sieve!" I thought about it, I will leave for home early tomorrow morning, and I will have to check our border gates. โ
"Nan Gongzi is right, this is a big deal, and it can't be delayed." Bai Meng nodded approvingly, "It's just ......"
"The Great Commander wants to say that not only Liao and Xia will have this kind of thing, but Jin will also have it, right?" Yelu Nan smiled and exchanged glances with a few people, "Don't worry, when I go back, I will tell Yan Xi Wan, as for what he will do...... That's his own choice. โ
