"Yu Heng, you should tell me, why did the good goods explode when they caught fire?" Qi Mufeng's face was a little better under Xi Liuli's care, and when Qi Yuheng stood in front of him, he asked him a question.

Qi Yuheng stood in place, not saying a word. The hateful Gu Yixuan, he didn't expect him to calculate everything, but he didn't expect that he would spread the news to Qi Mufeng's ears so quickly.

"Speak! dumb!?" The people were injured and the wharf was destroyed, so Lin Xuan came and explained to him that the goods were not the grain and firewood on the register, but some saltpeter and sulfur and other gunpowder raw materials. This made Qi Mufeng extremely stunned, and then what swept over his head was incomparably angry.

"Father, Emperor Qi, those goods, the sons and ministers also didn't know when they were transferred. Qi Yuheng gritted his teeth, after all, he had to pick it up, leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood.

"Transferred? You say, who has the courage to change the transportation materials?" Qi Mufeng's eyes were so angry that he glared at Qi Yuheng fiercely, and asked.

"It's... I don't know..."

"What is the source of those goods? From the source to the dock in the capital, can they stay somewhere?"

"I don't know. ”

"In your heart, there is a number, who is the most suspicious?"

"I don't know. ”

I didn't know what to ask, Qi Mufeng laughed angrily, snorted coldly, and slapped his palm on the desk: "Okay, okay! My good son, this Caoyun dock has always been taken care of by you, and there are such problems, but you don't know anything?!Are you really stupid?!"

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Qi Mufeng was so angry, Xu Hai hurriedly stepped forward to support him. A hurried call pulled him to sit down.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has come down. Listening to Qi Musheng's news, he hurriedly called someone in.

"See your father's father. Kneeling respectfully, Qi Musheng said loudly.

"Mu Sheng, what is the situation of the people?

I saw Qi Musheng raise his head and meet Qi Mufeng's eyes: "Father and Emperor, the sons have already resettled the refugees in batches in various places in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the people of the family will contribute money to take care of them." ”

When Qi Yuheng heard this, he immediately turned his head and stared at Qi Musheng: "What kind of system is this, how can the people of the family take care of those refugees?"

"Why can't you take care of it?!" Qi Yuheng's words were spoken, and he was pushed back by Qi Mufeng's words.

"Over the years, the wealth collected by the family has not been scavenged from the common people! Now that the people are suffering, why can't they take care of it?" Qi Mufeng's words blocked Qi Yu Hengsheng.

Qi Musheng listened quietly to his father's and brother's remarks on the side, and did not speak, and only after the two of them stopped a little before continuing to speak: "Father, Gu... Shenwu Jun has already moved all the goods to the Ministry of War for liquidation and inventory, presumably the liquidation has been completed now. ”

Qi Mufeng nodded: "Yes, General Lin Xuan has already reported to me that those so-called goods are gunpowder!"

"Father, what should I do with all that gunpowder?"

Qi Mufeng squinted his eyes and glanced at Qi Yuheng, who was standing aside: "Find out, where did these gunpowder come from and where did they go." ”

"Yes. After agreeing, Qi Musheng was about to retreat, but was called by Qi Mufeng: "Wait." ”

"What else does my father command?" he turned his head again and looked at Qi Mufeng

I saw that he hesitated for a while, with disappointment and helplessness in his eyes, and sighed: "Declare to the outside world that this batch of goods has been replaced by others, and it is strictly ordered to track down the person who dropped the bag!"

This... Qi Musheng was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Qi Mufeng to come to this point, and he would try his best to maintain Qi Yuheng's reputation. The heart is like being poured with a basin of cold water, and it is cold to the bone.

"Son, obey. Gritting his teeth, he replied with difficulty, then turned and walked out of the study.

"Son, thank you father. Qi Yuheng knew that Qi Mufeng was protecting him because of the love between father and son, so he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed.

"You, stand aside for now. Now, I don't want to see you for a while. Qi Mufeng waved his hand and asked Qi Yuheng to retreat.

The news quickly reached Gu Yixuan's ears, and at this time, he was in the Second Prince's Mansion, helping Xi Fengling practice exercises with Luo Yuqing. Hearing the news from the attendant, he nodded, without the slightest surprise on his face, as if he had known that Qi Mufeng would do this.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince. When Qi Musheng returned to the house, the attendants and maids saluted him one after another.

"Second Brother Qi is back. Xi Fengling's exercises were also practiced almost completely, Gu Yixuan put down his hand and said to him: "Senior sister, let's go here today, don't be too impatient." "This book of exercises is not something that can be achieved overnight, if you are in a hurry, I am afraid you will go crazy.

Xi Fengling was covered with fragrant sweat, slowly opened his eyes, nodded at Gu Yixuan, and said softly with red lips: "Thank you, Senior Brother Gu." ”

If it weren't for Gu Yixuan's support and help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to cultivate the exercises so smoothly.

"Brother Luo, I'll leave the rest to you. Walked aside, soaked the towel in the water and wrung it out, then threw it into Luo Yuqing's arms, raised his eyebrows slightly, and bowed in the direction of Xi Fengling, and gestured to Luo Yuqing.

"Senior Brother Gu!" Xi Fengling's face turned crimson, and he snorted lightly, but saw Gu Yixuan sneak out of the door, leaving only Luo Yuqing and Xi Fengling in the room. After going out, I didn't forget to bring the door for the two.

"This kid really understands the king's mind more and more. Luo Yuqing had never felt that Gu Yixuan was so sensible as he was today, smiled with satisfaction, and walked in the direction of Xi Fengling with a towel.

"Say what. With a snort, Xi Fengling obediently wiped his sweat away from Luo Yuqing.

Gu Yixuan came to the front hall, saw Qi Musheng's sad face, and was puzzled in his heart, so he stepped forward and called him and said, "Second Brother Qi, why is he so melancholy." ”

Qi Musheng turned around and said, "It was originally a good thing for my father to think of the relationship between father and son, but this time, the actions of the eldest brother are really chilling. ”

"Hehe, Second Brother Qi, let him go like this. Gu Yixuan smiled slightly and said.

"Brother Gu, why don't you look a little stunned?" Qi Musheng said suspiciously when he saw the look on Gu Yixuan's face.

"Second Brother Qi, think about it carefully, who did the eldest prince chill this time?" Looking for Gu Yixuan's words, Qi Musheng thought carefully.

"The warehouse was blown up, the people were hit hard, and the eldest brother escaped punishment, which was naturally chilling for the people. Qi Musheng's answer made Gu Yixuan shake his head again and again.

"No, no. The people did not know who was in charge of the goods and who was responsible. They have been hit hard, and the only thing they care about is the people above, how to place them, and how to clean up the aftermath for them. We have an advantage in this. Qi Musheng personally cared for the refugees and made proper arrangements for them, and at this time, in the hearts of the people, Qi Musheng's image was already extremely majestic and tall.

And after their interests are guaranteed, the people will care about the cause of this explosion. They don't know who the shipment belongs to, so they focus on the last person to be punished. As long as someone is punished, they don't care who it is. ”

Because the people only need an account. It doesn't matter who will do it.

Gu Yixuan hid this sentence in his heart and did not fully confide in Qi Musheng.

"People, is this really the mentality?" Qi Musheng asked hesitantly.

Seeing the look on Qi Musheng's face, Gu Yixuan sighed lightly: "Second Brother Qi, your heart is not deep enough. This point needs to be polished by Qi Musheng little by little.

"Those people are not cold-hearted people, who are?" Qi Musheng asked.

"There are two kinds of people, one is the closest relatives of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, who thinks they know His Royal Highness, but they are shocked by this time. This person is the emperor. "His own son, doing such a thing and hurting his own people, how can Qi Mufeng, as the emperor, not be chilled.

"The other is a person who believes in His Royal Highness the Great Prince with all his heart, but is betrayed by His Royal Highness. Such a person is the one who is condemned for the sake of this time. He couldn't guess who it was, after all, there are very few people in the family who can shoulder such a heavy responsibility. If you are not careful, you fail to withstand the pressure of the criminal department, which is a dead end.

"The one who was betrayed by the eldest brother ......," Qi Musheng muttered to himself.

"Yes, this matter has caused such a big stir in the capital, the emperor will definitely order a strict search, from the source of gunpowder to the way gunpowder is sold, it will be investigated clearly. At that time, after all the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor will definitely punish this related person in front of the monarchs and princes of all countries. Gu Yixuan said this, paused slightly, and after sorting out his thoughts, he continued: "Just imagine, since the emperor has the heart to protect His Royal Highness the eldest prince and sends someone to search for the person who dropped the bag, isn't he looking for a replacement for the dead ghost." A person who can replace all the goods on the entire ship, how can the official position be smaller. Presumably, a person of extraordinary status will be convicted of His Royal Highness the Great Prince. In this way, His Royal Highness the Great Prince will completely break that person's heart, and it will also make the family feel cold. ”

As long as there is a contradiction between the family and Qi Yuheng, then Qi Yuheng will not be able to go far.

"So, you mean, we're just like now, we don't say anything, we don't do anything, we just wait quietly?" Qi Musheng asked.

"That's not really, it's just that until we're sure who's to blame, let's not act rashly. Otherwise, our next plan will not be good. "What's the next step?" Qi Musheng frowned, could it be that Gu Yixuan still has a trick?

Gu Yixuan smiled meaningfully, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and silently read the plan in his heart.

If things go well, presumably this time, it will be able to make Qi Yuheng's vitality hurt.
