Chapter 147: A Fire

Chai Zhuoxu held the gold sore medicine in his hand like a treasure, and was moved to tears, and suddenly felt that the beating of being led was really worth it.

The eleventh prince is really considerate, with such a master, not to mention how comfortable he feels.

He was reluctant to use this gold sore medicine, and he had to take it back for the things that the eleventh prince had rewarded, and he still had to find a random medical center for this small injury on his face, and take some other medicine to wipe it.

Besides, Han Tao is also shrewd and capable, afraid that rash action will startle the snake, so it took three days to follow the vine and the farmhouse in Crucible County to find out the final way of the hidden saltpeter.

Those saltpeters were hidden in the grain, and they were sent to a small workshop in Yanqing County, and all the places that passed by on the way were all monitored by Han Tao, just waiting to get accurate evidence and end them all in one pot.

On the same day that Han Tao discovered the workshop, several blacksmiths in the workshop suddenly disappeared.

Xue Lun, the leader of the workshop, felt faintly uneasy, the workshop has always been very strict, to say that these people ran by themselves, it is impossible for the guards to be unaware, he checked the entire workshop, and found no loopholes, those people seemed to disappear out of thin air.

He had always been careful, and fearing that his deeds would leak out, ordered all the gunpowder and saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal to be transported elsewhere overnight.

But how did he know that the workshop that had already been under Han Tao's supervision was detected at the slightest movement, and where the gunpowder and raw materials were sent were all under Han Tao's control.

Xue Lun was very worried about this night, and the case of the breach of the embankment of the Qin Chacha Cha from the imperial court was investigated tightly, and they became cautious in their work these days.

Now that some of the blacksmiths in the workshop had suddenly disappeared, he felt that something was wrong, and he lay in bed all night tossing and turning, and if the workshop was smashed into his hands, he was afraid that the people above him would make him die a good death.

Just when he was in a daze, his whole person fell into an ethereal state, and he was about to fall asleep, there were suddenly several noises outside.

"Oh no! Walk the water! ”

"It's out of the water, put out the fire."

Xue Lun jumped up directly from the bed, jumped three feet high, didn't care about getting dressed at all, just opened the door and ran out in a shirt.

When I looked up, there was billowing smoke from the study room in the three or four corridors of his house, and many guards in the courtyard kept running back and forth with buckets, but the fire was getting stronger and stronger.

It was the end of autumn now, and the night was cold and windy, but Xue Lun didn't feel the slightest cold, and the blazing flames almost scorched the entire workshop very warm.

Yes, it was warm, just like sitting by the fire on a winter night, baking cold hands, and the bursts of warmth were very comfortable.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many important objects in the study, he wouldn't even want people to put out the fire.

Xue Lun came back to his senses, and a few arrows rushed through the corridor and came to the outside of the study, at this time, there were seven or eight people who put out the fire outside the study, and a few people came from a distance with buckets.

"Hurry up for Lao Tzu! Quickly put out the fire for Lao Tzu! Xue Lun roared loudly at the people running in the distance.

But looking at this fire, knowing that even if the fire was extinguished, it was estimated that everything would be burned clean, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.

He was only concerned with having the gunpowder carried away that night, and he didn't have time to deal with the things in the study, and the fire came so suddenly that he was caught off guard.

Xue Lun sat down paralyzed on the ground, gone, all gone.

Just when his heart was like ashes, he saw a large group of officers and soldiers also carrying buckets and hula up.

Xue Lun looked at the officers and soldiers who joined the firefighting ranks, there are also well-wishers in the government, and there are still people who come to help extinguish the fire, and they should send a pennant to these officers and soldiers.

Wait a minute...... Soldiers?

Xue Lun's eyes gradually widened.

Why are the officers and soldiers here? Can anyone tell him what this is?

Could it be that this fire was set by officers and soldiers?

"Grab them all."

With an order, two officers and soldiers stepped forward and set up Xue Lun, who was sitting on the ground, as well as those guards who were busy fighting the fire and had not found the officers and soldiers so far.

In the entire field, only the officers and soldiers were now left fighting the fire, and all the others were detained aside.

Han Tao's eyes were slightly gloomy, why did he catch fire in a good manner?

He had planned to keep an eye on him for a few more days, but now the fire had disrupted his plans.

However, thanks to this fire, the whole workshop is now in a mess, just in time for his officers and soldiers to take advantage of the situation.

After a few pillars of incense, the fire was finally extinguished, not only the study was burned to the ground, but even the two houses next to it were also somewhat affected, most of them were burned to ashes, except for a few pillars that were still bubbling with sparks.

Smoke hung over the entire workshop.

Han Tao saw that the study room that had been burned to ashes was searched by people, and almost nothing was found, and his face couldn't help but turn a little dark.

After extinguishing the fire, he searched the entire workshop again, and several of the officers and soldiers were in the cellar, and found a few boxes of fire and iron tools that had not been transported away, Han Tao's face softened a little at this time, and he didn't find nothing tonight.

Xue Lun was brought to Han Tao, Han Tao pointed to a few boxes of fire and salt on the side, and asked with a smile, "Can you tell this official why there is fire and salt here?" ”

Xue Lun glanced up at Han Tao, and knew that the person in front of him was the Qin Cha sent by the imperial court, and a fire led the Qin Cha to help put out the fire, saying that he happened to pass by to save a fire, who would believe it!

Knowing that it had been revealed, Xue Lun's heart was ruthless, and it was a dream to dig something out of his mouth.

Just as he was about to bite through the poisonous fangs in his mouth, suddenly a stone bounced at his face and hit him directly in the face.

A mouthful of blood spewed out of Xue Lun's mouth, and several back molars spewed out, one of which was a poisonous fang.

The sudden shock made Han Tao turn around suddenly and look at the person behind him.

"Lord Wang?" Han Tao was slightly surprised.

Wu Qing pushed the wheelchair and walked slowly, and An Chengluo, who was smiling on the wheelchair, nodded lightly when he saw Han Tao as a courtesy.

"Why is the prince here?" Han Tao couldn't help asking.

"This kind of liveliness, of course this king wants to come and see." An Chengluo said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Han Tao narrowed his eyes slightly.

I saw Wu Qing step forward in a few steps, walked to the several back molars that Xue Lun had dropped, squatted down to pick up one of them, turned around and handed it to Han Tao without saying a word.

Han Tao looked at the bloodshot teeth, and his stomach suddenly churned, and he didn't reach out to take it.

The official on the side was eye-catching, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the tooth with both hands, although it was really disgusting to hold this tooth in his hand, but the adult didn't take it, he had to catch it, wouldn't it be too bad to give the prince face, this is the personal guard around the prince.
