Even if it is used for self-defense, ordinary people simply do not need to hoard so many weapons.

The only possibility, then, is that those weapons were used to prepare for war.

Combined with Princess Anhe's former princess, it shows that the people behind the mine must be related to the previous dynasty.

Kill those blacksmiths, presumably to keep some great secret.

And the most important secret is rebellion.

Rebellion can only be done quietly in secret.

Once discovered, it will be a great crime for the Nine Clans.

Xu Gongran looked at Xiao Niannian and nodded appreciatively.

"It's worthy of a little ancestor, extremely smart, I thought of the answer so quickly."

"That's right! One more thing. Xu Gongran continued.

"There's a self-destruct mechanism in the cave with kerosene. Thankfully, we arrived early that day, so they didn't have time to activate the mechanism. Otherwise, not only the blacksmiths, but also the miners would be burned alive in the cave. ”

Xiao Niannian felt a little chill in her heart, she didn't expect the person behind her to be so frustrated.

Even if the miners worked day and night, in order not to reveal the secret, they planned to burn so many people alive.

She remembers what she saw when she entered the cave.

Countless miners lie in small stone caves, close together like beehives.

If there is a fire inside, so many people are sleeping, and they don't notice it for a while, and then they can't run away if they want to.

Thinking about it now, it's no wonder that the light of merit on her body was much stronger at that time.

I think it has something to do with saving the lives of those miners.

It's a pity that the blacksmiths were not saved.

Xiao Niannian asked with a heavy heart, "Have you found the clues about those traitors?" ”

Xu Gongran shook his head in frustration, "Those people who are locked up in the cave, as well as the so-called steward of the mine, we have all interrogated them carefully, they don't even know that there are so many weapons in the depths of the cave, let alone that there are blacksmiths in the cave who are secretly striking iron. And those who knew about those things were either silenced or fled. ”

Xiao Niannian was also a little depressed when she heard this, "So many lives, did they die in vain?" ”

"The forces of the previous dynasty are complicated, and it is indeed not easy to purge them." Xu Gongran was a little indignant and said, "It has only been eight or nine years since the founding of Jingguo, and the foundation has not yet been solid. The rebels took advantage of this time to continue to stir up trouble, intending to recover the former dynasty. Over the years, rebellions in Jingguo have occurred from time to time. It was fine before, and there were no civilians injured. But this time, these traitors killed so many innocent people, it was too much. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, how can they recover the previous dynasty like this? ”

Xiao Niannian twitched the corners of her mouth, "I said peacock essence, where are you?" How do you hear what you mean, as if you still want them to be restored? ”

Xu Gongran touched the rabbit and said nonchalantly, "I have experienced the change of several dynasties, and for me, it doesn't matter who rules this country, and I don't care." Whoever is in power, I just want the people to live and work in peace. ”

Xiao Niannian was a little surprised, "I really can't see it, I didn't expect you, a peacock, to be a great and benevolent person for the country and the people." ”

Xu Gongran said beautifully: "Thank you little ancestor for your compliment." But I'm not a great benevolent person, and I hope that the love of the people of Guotai is just for cultivation. After we demons cultivate into human form, we have to start cultivating again in the way of human beings. If the people complain, the world is full of resentment, which is very detrimental to cultivation. ”

"Yes." Xiao Niannian raised her eyebrows, "I remember that when we first met, you still led someone to arrest me, and sneaked into my house in the middle of the night with the intention of attacking me." If I hadn't been able to restrain you, I'd have fallen into your hands, right? ”

Xu Gongran showed a flattering smile, "Where can you be, little ancestor, you think too much." At that time, I thought you were a monster, and I was afraid that the villagers would be hurt by the monster, so I went to Taoli Village to find you. If I had known that you were so powerful and kind, not only would I not have taken you away, but I would have been obedient to your side and be dispatched. Now, for example, if you ask for anything, I'll do it! ”

Hearing him say this, Xiao Niannian remembered the matter of looking for a house at home.

So he said, "By the way, don't tell me, I really need your help with one thing right now." ”

"What's the matter?" Xu Gongran's gossip soul faintly had a hint of excitement and leaned his head over.

The little ancestor is looking for him, there must be something big.

The last time I looked for him was for the big black mule that could talk, and then I saved Xiaobai.

The last time I looked for him, I went to the mountains to find a mine and saved more people.

This time, the little ancestor has something to do with him again, which must be very interesting.

Xiao Niannian didn't notice Xu Gongran's excitement, and asked mysteriously: "Your family is so rich, do you also have many properties in Qingzhou City?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Gongran didn't expect Xiao Niannian to ask this, he was stunned for two seconds, and then said proudly, "There are indeed a lot of properties in my name, not only Qingzhou City, but also every city in Jingguo and even foreign countries, there are my private property." The little ancestor asked what this was for? Do you want to do business with me? ”

Wow, I didn't expect this peacock essence to be a super-rich man.

Xiao Niannian knew that the peacock spirit was rich, but she didn't expect it to be so rich.

There are businesses all over the world, so how rich should they be, no wonder the furniture is made of gold.

She had never felt the importance of money before, and it made no difference to her whether it was a penny or a tael of gold, and she couldn't use it.

It wasn't until the last time she went to town that she realized the importance of money.

If you want your family to live a good life, you still have to have money.

Little stars popped up in Xiao Niannian's eyes, and he asked like a little money fan, "Then can you tell me, how did you become so rich?" ”

Xu Gongran spread his hands, "When you stay in this world for hundreds of years like me, you can too." ”

Xiao Niannian rolled her eyes, there are still hundreds of years, and whether she can live for twenty years is a question.

Xu Gongran saw her frustration and comforted: "But don't be sad, little ancestor, I have no interest in money at all, I just do business when I am idle and bored and have nothing to do." You saved my Xiaobai, in order to repay you, my money is your money, as long as you want, I will give you as much as you want! ”

Xiao Niannian was happy again, "Okay! But I don't need your money, you just have to sell a house to my daddy. ”

"If you talk about selling, I'll just give it to you. But it's a bit stingy to send a house, so I'll just send you a street! ”

Xiao Niannian: "......" Are rich people so generous? She really doesn't understand.

Lee House.

Li Shoude sent out to stare at the little servant of the Shen family and ran into the study in a panic, and told the Shen family about being invited back to the house by the county magistrate.

"What?" Li Shoude was so shocked that he stood up from his chair suddenly, "You said that Xu County's order invited Rulan and her family to the mansion again?" ”

"It's true, the villain watched them walk into the Xu Mansion with his own eyes." Xiao Wei affirmed, "And the county magistrate himself waited in the inn for a long time, and the Shen family came back very late, but when the county magistrate saw them, he was not only not angry, but also very happy!" ”

"They're so close." Li Shoude frowned, and then said to the little guy, "Quick! Go and get Madame here! ”

He originally thought that the Shen family had little to do with Li Rulan, but he didn't expect him to miscalculate.

But that's not a good thing, he's worried about it right now.

The closer Li Rulan has a relationship with the county magistrate, the better, and there is no harm to him.

It's just the two requests that Li Rulan mentioned, and now they have to agree if they don't agree.
