Xu Changrong forced his composure and said in a seemingly calm tone: "Isn't this a fire gun, but there are some slight differences." ”

He raised his head and saw Song Chengxuan's deep eyes looking at him, as if there was a smile in his eyes.

It was contempt and disdain, Xu Changrong was stunned, angry, and just wanted to have a seizure, Song Chengxuan's expression returned to normal, as calm as an ancient well, without any waves.

Xu Changrong wondered if he had seen it wrong.

Song Chengxuan said: "Have you ever seen the fleet of the Franc machine? Earlier, the envoys of the Franc machine came to Da Zhou, and the stern of the ship was equipped with this cannon. ”

What does the fleet of the Franc machine have to do with this.

Song Chengxuan said: "It seems that adults don't know about this, no wonder they are not in a hurry when it comes to smuggling saltpeter." ”

Xu Changrong frowned: "Who gave you the courage to dare to rush to the peak like this." ”

Song Chengxuan didn't see the slightest fear on his face, he looked at the book not far away, the three law divisions will interrogate, anything related to the case will be recorded, the intention of the imperial court to keep him in Beijing is to ask him to say things related to piracy and smuggling.

If the emperor had no intention of punishing the Zhang family, he would not have left him here, the Zhang family thought that they had controlled everything and let Xu Changrong do whatever he wanted, but they didn't know that among the people who tried the case today, there must be cronies of the emperor.

So he is speaking freely here, which is exactly what the emperor wants to see.

In order to confirm his guess, Song Chengxuan deliberately paused for a moment, and his eyes swept to the book in the corner, and the book secretary raised his head after recording the documents in his hand, with a calm and cautious expression on his face.

Song Chengxuan smiled slightly in his heart and looked away, it is such a petty official who will not attract the attention of the Zhang family, in the final analysis, whether it is the Zhang family or the Shuntian Mansion, the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, or even the Marquis of Anyi, the emperor does not believe it, the emperor will only order the secretary to remember everything in detail and judge the authenticity himself.

Does the emperor have any other arrangements besides placing people here?

Song Chengxuan was just about to float that familiar figure in his mind, he immediately pulled his thoughts back, the affairs of the Marquis of Anyi had nothing to do with him, and he would not bother with them, she must have her own ideas, and he also has his own rules, when there are common interests, he might as well cooperate, and he will not involve each other when he is in danger, it is like a stranger, he has already had this intention, and she has also done an impeccable job, he should praise Xu Qinghuan for being a smart person.

Song Chengxuan continued lightly: "This kind of firearm is a little different from the artillery we use, it is equipped with a son-mother gun, and the gunpowder is used to launch gunpowder projectiles, and after the gunpowder projectile is issued, it is immediately loaded with another gun, so that you can keep firing projectiles, and this kind of Franc machine will inevitably be very lethal if it is used well." ”

Xu Changrong sneered: "Nonsense, how can a small country like my Great Zhou's firearms be able to catch up, if this Franc machine is really powerful, has anyone ever used this cannon to offend my Great Zhou?" ”

Song Chengxuan said: "The Franc machine has no intention of fighting my Great Zhou, even if they come to attack, their soldiers are not good at fighting, and they can't win with firearms alone." ”

"That's it," Xu Changrong said, "in that case, what's the use of saying this?" We are talking about the case, but you mention this Franc machine firearm, I don't know what to say. ”

Song Chengxuan ignored Xu Changrong's words, and continued: "The Buddha is not to worry, what about the widows?" The Japanese were warlike and colluded with pirates, and they were able to repeatedly land and harass the people with only sloops. ”

Xu Changrong said: "What does this have to do with smuggling saltpeter? ”

Song Chengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and an official like Xu Changrong didn't know what to rely on to be in a high position: "What if they have this kind of Buddha cannon again?"

Pirates buy saltpeter in large quantities, what do you think it's for? ”

Xu Changrong was speechless when he was on the throne, and only said after a while: "How do you know that this saltpeter was bought by the Japanese people?" Even if the Japanese bought it, how do you know that they still have this Franc machine? ”

Song Chengxuan raised his head slightly: "How does Lord Xu know that it's not?" If this is the case, the big ship of the Japanese suddenly appears, and the adults can know how many people will lose their lives, and the military funds, manpower and material resources spent by the imperial court every year will be defeated on this selfish interest. ”

After saying this, Song Chengxuan bowed slightly: "I just hope that you will find out the truth as soon as possible, and it is not too late to make amends, so as to live up to the emperor's trust." ”

The sweat on Xu Changrong's back wet the official uniform on his body, he thought that he was completely sure that he would be able to gain the upper hand in today's questioning, but he didn't expect that a small envoy would actually take him into an army.

Xu Changrong moved uneasily: "Smuggling is important, and the case of King Wei's rebellion is also important, if someone really is secretly plotting and taking this opportunity to make a big move, which of you can afford it?" Neither of the internal and external troubles can be careless. ”

This time, Song Chengxuan did not refute, but bowed down and said, "What the adults said is true." ”

Li Xu stood there watching Song Chengxuan's every move, and Lord Xu had obviously fallen behind, especially the last sentence: "You can't be careless about internal and external troubles." ”

That's true, but who does this "internal worry" refer to?

The so-called remnants of King Wei still want to cover the sky with one hand.

After the Zhang family smuggled for their own interests, harming the interests of the Great Zhou, after being discovered by the imperial court, the Zhang family not only did not repent, but also tried to cover the sky with one hand.

The triage of the three law divisions is the emperor's decision at the court meeting, if the emperor can't fight the Zhang family, then whose family is this country.

Sometimes winning is losing, losing is really winning, Song Chengxuan has moved out of the big war that may bring disaster to the country and the people, and the Zhang family is still fearless, so the Zhang family is the real disaster.

Song Chengxuan stood here and said such a thing, was it discussed with Miss Xu in advance? At such a crisis moment in An Yihou's Mansion, if the two still join forces, does it mean that An Yihou intends to make Song Chengxuan a fast son-in-law.

Sure enough, there is nothing surprising that this is the case, Song Chengxuan and his people are also brave and strategic, and in time, they will become a great weapon, and it is reasonable for the Marquis of Anyi to take a fancy to him.

Li Xu suddenly thought of Xu Qinghuan's defense and rejection of him, the first time her father came to the door, she treated her as if she were an enemy.

How could she be such a smart, calm person.

To this day, he still hasn't found an answer.

"Your Excellency." Yacha stepped forward and whispered a few words to Huang Qinghe.

Xu Changrong looked over: "What's wrong?" ”

Huang Qinghe reported: "I found the body that was removed by Jiang Zhiyi for another burial. ”

According to Jiang Zhiyi's statement, the removed bodies belonged to Mrs. Nie and her children.

Huang Qinghe said: "Most of those corpses are the same as what Jiang Zhiyi said, except that there is an extra small arm bone. ”

Xu Changrong said: "What's so strange about that, after so many years, it is also common for the corpse to move around and have some discrepancies, and it is not enough to believe the words of the Jiang family." ”

Huang Qinghe seemed to fall into thought: "The extra is a child's arm bone, and another child was burned to death that night, but for some reason, someone removed the child's bones." ”

What was the reason for the removal of the child's bones alone, and what was the person who did so covering?
