A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Although Li Qinzai is not a gentleman, whether he is a gentleman or a villain, he is actually not very willing to stand under the dangerous wall.

Upon entering the workshop, Li Qinzai found himself in a huge powder keg, with mountains of gunpowder not far away, while officials and craftsmen continued to produce with determination.

Li Qinzai's face changed.

With such a huge security hazard, no one cares about it?

Liu Xianli accompanied Li Qinzai to follow suit, and saw Li Qinzai standing far away outside the workshop, refusing to take another step inside, Liu Xianli couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Master Liu, ask something...... Li Qinzai said slowly.

"Although the county prince Li asked, the lower officials knew everything."

Pointing to the messy environment of the workshop and the gunpowder piled up under the wall, Li Qinzai said, "You are doing this...... Didn't anything happen? ”

Liu Xianli's face froze, he was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Since the day the firearms supervisor was established, there have been five incidents in the workshop, two of which were large explosions, killing dozens of craftsmen on the spot, and three times were out of the water, but fortunately, they were extinguished in time and did not cause casualties. ”

Li Qinzai's face became cold: "Since there have been five incidents, why haven't you learned a lesson?" ”

Pointing to the mountains of gunpowder, Li Qinzai said: "Do you know that we can't survive any small spark?" ”

Liu Xianli smiled bitterly: "Yes, the lower official knows his mistake." But this gunpowder is only stored temporarily, and it will soon be taken away by the people from the arsenal of the military department, and the gunpowder is sealed with oiled paper, so it will not be ......."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qinzai interrupted him coldly: "What you think doesn't matter, the important thing is that you are taking care of people's lives!" ”

"Such a huge hidden danger, you, the general eunuch, actually turned a blind eye, obviously there have been several major incidents, you are not the same thing, isn't the life of the craftsman life?"

Liu Xianli was in a cold sweat, and was about to explain a few words, but he saw an official walk out of the workshop and said loudly: "Li Xiangong doesn't have to blame Master Liu, everything is the decision of the lower officials." ”

Li Qinzai frowned and looked at the official.

But I saw that this person was wearing a scarlet official robe, about thirty years old, with a flowing green beard under his chin, walking slowly with official steps, and every step seemed to be blessed with a righteous temperament.

Li Qinzai smiled and arched his hand: "I didn't ask this low-level official in a scarlet official uniform to ......"

The official's face turned cold, and he endured his anger and said: "Fu Youyi, the young supervisor of the official firearms supervisor, will meet Li County Gong." ”

Li Qinzai was stunned.

At the beginning, Li Zhi appointed Li Qinzai as the young superintendent of firearms, but Li Qinzai was lazy, and after becoming this young superintendent, he rarely performed his duties, and he didn't even know where the door of the firearms superintendent was.

Later, Li Qinzai returned from Tuyuhun and became the marquis of the county, and the official position of the young superintendent of firearms was also dismissed, and Li Zhi reappointed a young eunuch, which was probably the Fu Youyi in front of him.

Being appointed by Li Zhi as a firearms supervisor and supervising such a sensitive errand involved in gunpowder manufacturing shows that this Fu Youyi is still quite trusted by Li Zhi.

But Li Qinzai didn't expect this person to behave like this, and he could see that this person had an arrogant temperament and his eyes were above the top.

After looking at it, Li Qinzai said coldly: "Since you are a young eunuch, you know how dangerous gunpowder is, after the manufacture is completed, the gunpowder must be sealed in a safe place, and you are piled up under the wall like this, do you think your life is too long?" ”

Fu Youyi retorted without showing weakness: "The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court send personnel to urge every day, the craftsmen make gunpowder day and night, the firearms prison is tired of batch after batch, and the craftsmen are also exhausted. ”

"The gunpowder made is piled up under the wall, and within half a day, someone from the military department will take it away, so how can there be a hidden danger? Li Xiangong couldn't help but spare his life. ”

Li Qinzai understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Day and night? Do you make gunpowder at night? What kind of lighting is used in the workshop? ”

Liu Xianli wiped the cold sweat and said carefully: "With a lantern, usually hang a lantern on the beam of the workshop. ”

Li Qinzai's face gradually turned pale.

The workshop where gunpowder was made was lit with lanterns...... Why don't you look for according to the pit?

"It was also your idea to make gunpowder at night?" Li Qinzai stared at Fu Youyi and asked.

Fu Youyi said coldly: "What's wrong? The king's division was about to go east, and the daily production of gunpowder could not meet the needs of the army, and the lower officials were the sinners of the imperial court. ”

Li Qinzai took a deep breath, so there was no accident, this Fu Youyi is obviously hard, otherwise there would have been no scum left.

Too lazy to pay attention to this crazy criticism, Li Qinzai turned his head to look at Liu Xianli and said, "You can understand people's words, I'll talk to you." The problem of firearms supervision is very serious, and it is necessary to immediately stop production and rectify it, otherwise something serious will happen. ”

Liu Xianli's expression was bitter, and before he could speak, Fu Youyi became excited.

"The Ministry of War is urging urgently, why stop production? Delay my king's crusade to the east, who can bear the responsibility? ”

Li Qinzai's emotions calmed down, and when he saw Fu Youyi's excited appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

Although there are many officials who are patriotic and dedicated to their posts in recent years, there is no need to behave so fiercely, right? From the moment he saw Fu Youyi, he felt that he seemed to be full of hostility towards him.

Why did I dig up his ancestral grave?

Pulling Liu Xianli's arm and pulling him aside, Li Qinzai asked in a low voice, "This goods...... This is called Fu Youyi, have I offended him? ”

Liu Xianli smiled bitterly: "Li Xiangong has never met him, so why not offend." ”

"No, there's something here, Master Liu, tell me the truth, what kind of grudge do I have against him?"

Liu Xianli was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Before Fu Youyi was appointed as the young superintendent of firearms, he was the superintendent of the Shaofu, and he voted for Liu Yuanzhen's disciples, and last year Li Yifu committed a crime, and his son-in-law Liu Yuanzhen was also beheaded by the convict......"

Li Qinzai was stunned.

It turned out that he had something to do with Li Yifu, Li Yifu was beheaded last year, the whole family was guilty, and Fu Youyi has no backer since then, no wonder he hates himself so much.

Everything has a cause and an effect, and the kindness and hatred in the world have a source after all.

At this time, he turned his head and looked at Fu Youyi's rebellious appearance with his nostrils raised, well, he was getting more and more underwhelmed.

Turning around and walking in front of Fu Youyi, Li Qinzai smiled.

"As for me, I was just ordered to see the progress of gunpowder and firearms production, to be honest, I was actually just going through the motions, I originally planned to leave at a glance, and I was not interested in setting up a ...... of people who worked hard to dedicate themselves to the country."

As he spoke, Li Qinzai's face gradually turned cold.

"However, you, a young eunuch, are derelict in their duties and take care of people's lives, since I have seen it, I can't ignore it, you can pull a rope and hang yourself if you think your life is long, but other officials and craftsmen are innocent, and you are harming other people's lives."

"You young eunuch, you can't be a young eunuch, I will say it to myself in front of the Son of Heaven."
