Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Drunken Immortal Residence Bombing
Yueyao had heard what Yan'er had said early in the morning, and she had specially instructed the old housekeeper to help her raise two flowers, but the Millennium Temple ...... That bad place! Yue Yao loudly refused, "Don't go." ”
His tone was a little sour, "I won't go to the places where Antuya has been." ”
She looked up at Wei Xuanmo, stared at him for a moment, and secretly gritted her teeth, Wei Xuanmo, you had better weigh it and answer it well, otherwise you will die!
Wei Xuanmo glanced at her, sneered and strode forward, Yue Yao hadn't relieved his anger yet, it was impossible to let him go so easily, and followed quickly, but he suddenly stopped, and when he turned his head to look at her, he knocked her head hard, and scolded her with hatred, "Why did you go earlier, now you are angry and jealous?" Don't come out and stop when you're hiding around the corner? Yueyao, your skills are all on me, waiting for the autumn queen to settle accounts, right? ”
Yue Yao covered her head and listened sullenly, and only after thinking about it did she chase after him and yell, "Wei Xuanmo, it turns out that you have seen me, you big bastard!" ”
On this day, Yue Yao made lunch for Wei Xuanmo in the kitchen, and when he was about to call him to have dinner together, Yan'er in the restaurant asked someone to say that there was a new guest in the box. She immediately put down her chopsticks, hurriedly crossed Weihua Street and was about to go to the restaurant, but suddenly there was a loud noise that shook the earth, and the buildings on both sides of the road seemed to tremble. ”
Chang Jiu looked around, and faintly saw a cloud of smoke coming out of the roof a few steps behind him, and replied in a deep voice, "It's the Drunken Immortal Residence." ”
Before he finished speaking, there was another "boom", and the billowing smoke rose into the air like a sandstorm, and now Ziyue Yao also saw it clearly, and the people on the street were scattered like birds and beasts. In a few moments, it was already crowded, the shops were closed, and the crowd went to the other side.
Yue Yao walked against the crowd towards the Drunken Immortal Residence, and Chang Jiu persuaded her on the side, "Miss Mu, it's very dangerous, let's leave too." ”
"It's okay, didn't it explode? Let's go see if there are any injured people, so let's take a hand. Yue Yao looked forward, and then looked at Chang Jiu, who was agile next to him, and his heart was settled, and his steps were more sonorous and powerful.
They walked to the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence and looked inside, the lobby was empty, except for some droplets and dregs, the tables and chairs were not damaged.
The lobby was silent, but the back kitchen was very noisy, and it seemed that the explosion was caused by the back kitchen.
Yue Yao opened the curtain and saw a group of people gathered around, she also stepped forward, jumped and suddenly saw a man covered in blood lying inside.
It didn't take long for Shuntianfu to bring the guards to the Drunken Immortal Residence.
The shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Residence, the shopkeeper Wang, stepped forward, and before he could speak, his expression was already full of pathos, "My lord, you came just in time, we are ...... in the restaurant" As he spoke, he couldn't continue, and raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes.
When Lord Yin of Shuntianfu first came, he first checked the casualties, and he was also very embarrassed about the unrecognizable victims on the ground, and when he saw this, he patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper and sighed, "Mourn." ”
Shopkeeper Wang slowed down for a while and finally calmed down, and he was still very scared when he talked about the occurrence of this incident, "I was in the lobby at the time, and there was a loud noise in the kitchen, and the people working inside ran out one after another, and they were all scared at that time, and they didn't notice Master Wu, but the back finally calmed down, and when I came in, I saw that Master Wu had ...... it" He said and sobbed a little, "The people in the kitchen said that Master Wu was stir-frying when the pot caught fire, and I think the oil temperature was too high, which caused the explosion." ”
Yue Yao stood aside and listened quietly, but the more she listened, the more wrong she became, she turned her head sideways and asked Chang Jiu, "Can a fire cause such a violent explosion?" ”
Chang Jiu replied, "Generally, no." ”
Yue Yao thought about it, and went into the kitchen while the people of the Drunken Immortal Residence were still under investigation by the Shuntian Mansion.
The kitchen was a mess, but the center of the explosion could still be seen at a glance. Yue Yao stepped forward quickly, half-kneeling on the ground and rummaging.
Outside, only the roar of the explosion could be heard, and there was a thick smoke rising in the clouds, but here, looking at the stones splashing everywhere, the iron pot was already only a palm-sized fragment, and even the broken ears of black charcoal could be seen, Yue Yao was so frightened that he didn't dare to look again, Chang Jiu immediately took the sword to the corner. Only here, the place where the explosion originated, can you truly immerse yourself in the scene, realize the horror of the bombing, and realize the preciousness of life.
Yue Yao lay on the ground and looked for clues, she didn't believe that such a terrible scene was only caused by a stir-fry fire.
Sure enough, at the corner of the fire gate, at the bottom of several stone bricks, she found an unburned line of fire. Yue Yao stood up and patted the dust on the corner of his knee, carefully wrapped the line of fire in a handkerchief, and walked out with Chang Jiu.
Gunpowder is a contraband in Xijing, in addition to the right to use in the military, merchants only buy a limited amount of gunpowder at the end of the year to make fireworks, and the department in charge of gunpowder will check it after the year and recall the unused gunpowder. Therefore, according to the laws of Xijing, every household, whether it is a high-ranking official or a commoner, is not allowed to have gunpowder.
And the explosion of the Drunken Immortal Residence, if it is said that it was caused by fireworks, it is unreasonable. Fireworks are only used for ornamental purposes, and each firework contains only one gram, so it is still far from achieving such a shocking effect and even damaging human life.
The king's shopkeeper concealed this matter, and there must be some big secret. Yue Yao clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, and lowered her head slightly to look at the corpse covered with white cloth on the ground, she remembered how shocking that face was.
She stared silently, looked at it for a while, and then slowly left.
In the afternoon, she returned to the palace, and kept going into the study to find Wei Xuanmo.
Yue Yao pushed the door in a hurry, Wei Xuanmo looked up at him, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes, "What happened in the restaurant again?" ”
She only shook her head and didn't answer, approached the table and lifted the teapot and poured it into her mouth, and after a while she quenched her thirst, she paced to the desk, "I found gunpowder in the Drunken Immortal Residence." ”
Wei Xuanmo wrote, and a black dot the size of a bean immediately appeared on the white paper, and his letter was ruined. He glanced at it, but he didn't care, moved it and threw it aside, walked out from behind his desk, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Yue Yao took out the silk handkerchief from his arms and showed the line of fire to Wei Xuanmo, "This is what I found in the back kitchen of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and there was an explosion in their restaurant today." ”
