"They have already refined saltpeter, and I heard that the news has been sent to the palace, and I guess they should have recorded and preserved the method of refining saltpeter."

"We have to think of ways to reduce our losses."

The other people sitting in the hall looked at each other, wondering what the old man meant.

The old man met the gaze of everyone, and smiled slightly.

"Steal the recipe that records the method of refining saltpeter and destroy it, and then kill those who know how to refine it."

And then ...... And destroy all the saltpeter that has been refined? In this way......"

When the old man said this, he hooked his lips and smiled slightly.

Everyone present immediately understood what he meant.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded their heads.

Yes, that's the best way to do it.

It's just that those people are adults in the government after all, and they also understand what this old man means.

This is to do something to the adults in the official uniform, although those people are all from poor families and have no background backing.

But if you talk about doing it to officials......

But they still felt stunned, and the old man glanced at them, and felt that they were not successful, so he snorted coldly, and then waved his hand to tell them to retreat.

He pondered it and asked a friend to be invited.

That friend is a member of a family, and the head of the family and several masters of the lineage are all serving in the court, and he is a very powerful family.

And the reason why he contacted his friend at this time was to ask him if this friend had any good ways to deal with the adults in the research mansion.

"Oh, if you ask about it at this point, I can't think of any good idea, but ......"

Hearing the other party's voice, the old man raised his eyebrows.

"I can give you an opinion, it is better to use it than a conspiracy or a conspiracy, if you find other people from other families and want those people from the family to do something to the adults who study the mansion, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will most likely find out."

"You have already seen the recent purge of the court atmosphere by His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not that I don't want to help you."

"It's just that we're also worried that our target of the adults who are studying the government will be noticed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Immediately understood what the other party meant, the old man nodded again and again, and he and the other party inquired about the names and identity backgrounds of the officials who had studied saltpeter, as well as their daily habits and long-term residences.

The old man sent the adult back.

If it is to make a conspiracy, it is naturally an assassination.

In fact, he was going to find his friend to fabricate a crime at will, blame those adults, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally dispose of those adults.

Now it seems that the only way to find an assassin is to assassinate him.

In the research mansion, Chen Mu followed Li Mao and the others around the front yard and walked towards the backyard.

Li Mao and others have studied the prototype of the fertilization equipment, but when they studied the equipment, Chen Mu did not give them the drawings, and they studied the equipment according to their own experience in studying other farming equipment, and they always felt unsure.

I thought about calling Chen Mu over and asking Chen Mu's opinion.

Chen Mu followed them to the backyard, looked at the wooden shelves standing in the backyard, and always felt that something was wrong.

"Where are the sprinklers for spraying fertilizer and the mechanism for controlling them?"

Chen Mu lowered his head and looked at the instrument carefully, and asked in confusion.

Li Mao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then slapped his thigh, remembering something important.

It's not that he didn't install a sprinkler and mechanism on this device, but that the sprinkler and mechanism are too hidden.

Not only is it hidden, but after the device is operational, the pesticide sprayed by the nozzle is also very easy to spray on the person operating the device.

You must know that in ancient times, chemical fertilizers have not yet been studied, and most of the fertilizers used in the fields are farmhouse fertilizers.

What's the ingredient of this fat......

Chen Mu saw Li Mao raise his hand and scratch his head with an embarrassed face, and he sighed.

"It's okay, you've done a good job."

He did not prepare the prototype diagram of the equipment to Li Mao and others in advance, because his understanding of the pesticide spraying equipment was limited, and it was not as good as other equipment.

He was worried that he had given the wrong drawing, which would affect the research of several people on the equipment used to spray pesticides.

While everyone was talking, Chen Mu suddenly heard a clicking sound from the small building not far away.

Xiaolou had a fire, so everyone was quite sensitive to the strange sound coming from Xiaolou, Chen Mu heard this sound, and saw that his subordinates made a look.

Immediately, someone ran in the direction of Xiaolou, thinking that it was just them making a fuss.

It didn't work out, but I really found a problem.

After a while, Lord Ye came back with someone and arched his hand at Chen Mu with a serious face.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, we found that two thieves had sneaked into the small building, as if they were rummaging for something, and I wanted to do something to those two thieves at that time."

"But we found that the two thieves didn't seem to be looking for what they were looking for in the room."

Because he didn't know the purpose of these two thieves, Master Ye sent someone to follow the two thieves, but he didn't immediately arrest the two thieves.

Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

When Li Mao and the others heard Lord Ye say this, their faces changed, and they couldn't figure out what those people wanted to steal when they sneaked into their small building.

Li Mao looked in the direction of Chen Mu worriedly, and when Chen Mu saw this, he shook his head and said a few words of relief.

In order to wait for news, Chen Mu simply took people to sit down in the front yard of the research mansion.

Because it was not early, most of the adults who studied the government had already gone back to the backyard to rest.

Only Li Mao and Lu Wen were left to accompany Chen Mu.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

Before he could finish a sentence, there was a sudden sound of harmony in the backyard.

Everyone was a spirit, and they turned their heads sharply to look in the direction of the backyard.

When he just noticed that someone had sneaked into the small building, everyone's hearts were already worried, but at this time, the consciousness was not right, Chen Mu immediately asked Lord Ye to go to the backyard to check the situation.

Moments later, the two Assassins were captured and taken to the front yard.

The two assassins didn't seem to expect that their actions would be recognized.

They looked in the direction of Chen Mu and the others with a worried face.

"Who sent you? Who are you going to assassinate? What is your purpose in assassinating the Lord of the Research Mansion? ”

The two assassins were frightened, and when they saw Chen Mu asking like this, they hurriedly told Chen Mu and the others the words of the people who hired them and the identities of the people who hired them.

"We don't know the specific reason, they only say that they have a personal vendetta with those adults, and the people who hired us are a group of rich businessmen. We don't see who they are. ”

"We're just taking money to help people, and we're not qualified to ask that much, otherwise they'll replace us and find other assassins."

Hearing this, Chen Mu nodded thoughtfully.

"Tell me what the rich businessman who hired you looks like."
