Chapter 242: The Secret of the Basement

"We'll have to go to the main house to look for it later, I always feel that something is not right, there is not a single log in the whole yard, this is unreasonable." Xiao Ruyu had already seen the entire courtyard clearly just now, and indeed she didn't find a single log, thinking about the decreasing wood in the outer courtyard, she had a guess.

"You're right, I think they should have a basement for working with this wood." Han Yixuan said his guess. What are you doing with so much wood, it must be for shipbuilding.

"I can't say it, there's no need to be so mysterious in shipbuilding." Xiao Ruyu couldn't understand that if these woods were really used for shipbuilding, then they should set up a factory by the sea, so that the boats they built would be convenient to go to sea.

"Let's go and see." Han Yixuan was too lazy to worry about it anymore, so he hugged her belt and returned to her original yard. This time the courtyard was very quiet, except for a few guards guarding the door of the main house, there was no one else.

Xiao Ruyu gestured and motioned for Han Yixuan to make some movement to lure people away, and they took the opportunity to take a look inside the house. Han Yixuan nodded, took a few stones and threw them over, a person's head was hit, he thought that others were playing a prank on him, and he was very angry and scolded a few words loudly. Although the others felt inexplicable and ignored him, as a result, this person was constantly hit on the head by stones, and he was annoyed, so he casually threw a punch to the most suspicious person, and the man was also annoyed and began to fight back, and the two soon fought together with fists and legs. Others began to persuade the fighting, and the lively watched the lively.

Xiao Ruyu and the others took advantage of the chaos to enter the main house and checked in the dark. There should be a secret room here, but where is it?

Finally, the mechanism was found under the table, and the two of them clasped hands in the dark, Xiao Ruyu stopped him from activating the mechanism, and now the situation is unknown, in case the mechanism is opened, the guards outside are alarmed, and the people below are on guard, they will fall into a very passive situation.

Their suspicions have now been confirmed, and there will definitely be a chance to visit them in the future. It's a pity that they don't have much time, otherwise they can find clues by looking slowly.

The next day, Xiao Ruyu and Han Yixuan continued to carry the wood, but under the cover of Han Yixuan, Xiao Ruyu went to the yard last night to investigate the situation, and she found that the wood was indeed transported to the back yard, but they were not transported in through the entrance of the main house, but were pulled to the west side room and sent down in batches.

Originally, she wanted to hide on the pile of wood and go down to take a look, but thinking of Han Yixuan's repeated instructions, her outstretched feet withdrew again. He threatens her that if she dares to act on her own, he will immediately arrest her and cave her. This bastard actually threatened her like this, so that she could only compromise temporarily, and she was not in a hurry to have sex with him.

Looking at the wood with an adult's waist, she suddenly had an idea, went back to Han Yixuan to discuss, and continued to explore the secret tonight.

In the afternoon, the wind and waves were very strong, and there was no wood to transport from the sea, so Xiao Ruyu and Han Yixuan hid in a sheltered place to rest. Quietly discuss how to mix in the wood and go down to the basement to check the situation.

In the evening, when the wind was much lighter, the wood arrived, and the overseers took leather whips and forced everyone to carry the wood in the dark. The road was already difficult to walk, and they had to walk at night, and several people were injured, but they did not give up, and threatened them to drag their injured bodies to continue working.

It seems that the people below are in a hurry to use wood, otherwise they would not have urged everyone to work in the dark like this. Xiao Ruyu and Han Yixuan made up their minds to go down tonight to investigate the situation, and began to cover each other to make a fuss about the wood they had found.

Finally, they could rest, and the crowd was driven to the beach. Xiao Ruyu and the others turned back and found the marked wood to continue processing.

Fortunately, Han Yixuan's internal strength is good, and Xiao Ruyu's dagger is particularly powerful, the two of them each cut a big hole in the two logs that can be accommodated, and the two of them hid it one by one, blocking the large piece of bark peeled off on the outside, no one would have thought that there were people hidden inside.

Someone came to carry the wood away, and they followed the pile of wood down the basement, which was very deep, and the rope that hung the wood walked for a long time. Before I got to the place, I felt stuffy and hot, which was completely opposite to the environment on the island.

It was brightly lit, and the entire underground space was lit up as if it were daylight by a fire burning under several huge furnaces in the distance, and the fires were burning with the wood they had brought in. The wood was cut into small pieces more than a meter long and piled up near the furnace. In addition to the piles of wood, there are piles of stones, which are supposed to be ores, and some furnaces are dedicated to smelting these stones.

The sound here is very noisy, from time to time there is the sound of cutting wood, chopping wood, pulling bellows, and there is also a clanging sound in the distance.

What the hell is this place for? Xiao Ruyu felt strange because she hadn't seen it. Han Yixuan understood, he pulled Xiao Ruyu to avoid the crowds, and came to the vicinity of several furnaces near the inside to check. When he saw the red-hot iron peizi taken out of the furnace, he knew that his guess was right, this was a secret weapons factory.

No wonder it's so mysterious, even the wood was smuggled in, it turns out that there is such a big secret hidden here. Xiao Ruyu stabbed Han Yixuan's arm, laughed at his initial guess, and secretly built a ship, your boat was built by hiding in the basement?

Han Yixuan's mood is very complicated, it seems that everyone thinks this Uncle Qi is too simple. On the surface, he is tyrannical and ruthless, and he is a little forward-looking, but it turns out that this is just an appearance, and his real backhand is here. I don't know how long he has been in this weapon factory, and I don't know how many weapons he has made. Did he use it for his own future use, or did he sell it to another country at the same time?

Either way, he's going to die. The emperor's grandfather repeatedly ordered that he was not allowed to make weapons privately, and whoever made weapons privately was treason against the country, Uncle Qi Wangshu actually risked the disapproval of the world, could he not rebel?

This matter is very serious, and he must report it to the imperial grandfather and ask him to give a word on how to deal with it.

The two of them wandered around the underground factory, and found that the weapons were not transported by the same route, but to another exit a few miles away, which was very close to the seashore and very secretive, hidden behind a rock on the shore. It's hard to say where these weapons will be shipped as soon as they are made.

That Zhou Ye Han Yixuan had seen it in the Qi Palace, he was a subordinate of the King of Qi, such a big matter was handed over to him to investigate, he must be the most trusted person of the King of Qi, he must know something, Xiao Ruyu was going to ask this person after discussing it with Han Yixuan, and by the way, he wrote a confession for him to draw a detention, and the emperor would have evidence and witnesses when he asked in the future.

It took so much time and effort to build such a large weapons processing plant, and the location was so remote, you can imagine how difficult it was at that time. No wonder King Qi is desperately looting money, maintaining such a large weapons factory without a large amount of silver, it can't be played at all. Now it is certain that King Qi's ambition is even greater than he shows, and his mind is even more careful and careful, such a person, like a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, must be guarded against.

There are a lot of weapons in a storage room in the underground factory, and it seems that they have been saved for a long time, which can be described as a mountain of swords and a sea of swords. I don't know when or where they will get these weapons out, but they must not be allowed to do so. Even if these things are destroyed, they must not be allowed to be transported.

Seeing these bright swords, guns, swords, halberds and swords placed there, Xiao Ruyu's money addiction was committed. These weapons are a big threat in the hands of King Qi, what if they are in their hands?

She inadvertently turned the black jade wrench finger given by Yan Feiyu hanging on her chest and had an idea, they can fish in troubled waters, when the time comes, they can get these things in their hands, and they can equip a powerful team without spending half a tael of silver, and they will not be afraid of whoever will be the emperor in the future.

However, this matter can't be done alone, she needs to go out of the island to find the Shura Hall to discuss with Mingqiu and them, and she also needs the cooperation of Feitian Pavilion and Yan Feiyu's other subordinates.

Feeling that his idea was very good, Xiao Ruyu pulled him aside after leaving the basement with Han Yixuan, and excitedly said his plan.

Han Yixuan was shocked by her robbery, he really dared to think that the idea of fighting so many weapons, the emperor's grandfather, Emperor Tiangao, couldn't find out about it, he was indeed smart and bold enough, he liked it.

"Ruyu, you're so smart." Han Yixuan's eyes were shining and he looked at her, and the corners of his mouth couldn't suppress a smile, "If this thing is done, none of us will have to worry about it, even if the King wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future, we will not be afraid of him." ”

Now he is most happy that if he uses this batch of weapons to equip his subordinates, even if he openly confronts Han Wensong, he will not have to worry.
