"Understood, young master, I know what to do."

Liu Ming said understandingly.

Looking at Mr. Zhou, who had half of his head knocked off, Li Yue suddenly recalled the young master of the Qian family who had just been shot in the head.

"Do you think our firecracker is a little too powerful? At close range, the lethality is very strong, but there is no threat at long distance. ”

Li Yue said with a melancholy expression.

"Young Master, although the range of your improved firearm is not very long, the power at close range is indeed very great!"

Liu Ming handed the fire gun back to Li Yue with both hands, and at the same time, his eyes were still very envious.

It seems that the power of the fire gun has conquered the heart of his straight man.

"What's this, as long as the filled gunpowder is improved, the power will be greater, but it is easy to blow up the chamber when fired continuously!"

Li Yue looked at the fire gun in his hand, and his mood was extremely complicated.

I feel that at this time, Daming's forging process is also the world's peak, but the quality of carbon steel is really poor.

"Young master, this is also normal, now the places where the guns are forged belong to Fujian and Guangdong, which are the most advanced, and when the matter is finished here, my subordinates are willing to go in person to find better guns and artillery for you."

Liu Ming said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Li Yue, who was still a little sad, became even more depressed.

I feel that in this turbulent era, if you can't master the forging technology of muskets and artillery, you will definitely be stuck in your throat and you can't swallow it.

This has also become Li Yue's heart disease, and he can't wait to go back to study hard and come back to show it.

"Let's talk about this matter, let's solve the matter of this Jiangdu City first, and the rest of the things will be easy to say."

Li Yue looked a little helpless, put away the firecracker, and left with everyone.

At the same time, Qian Yunbo, the second master of the Qian family, had already led the whole family to rummage through the entire Jiangdu City.

It was even more terrifying than Fan Zhongqiao's time, and all the private soldiers of the Qian family were armed with sabers and torches, and directly surrounded the entire northern city.

Started to search door to door, and as long as the door was not opened, it was lit directly from the outside.

For a while, the entire Beicheng was in flames, but the government could only watch the fire from the other side, and did not dare to take a step forward.

At this time, Gu Haiping stood on the drum tower in the center of Jiangdu City, looking at the fire in the north city from afar, and his heart was very anxious.

"I'm sorry for the previous Yangzhou prefects, and I finally supported the Sanyi Society, but I didn't expect to be ruined by the white-eyed wolf I raised, and now the people of Beicheng have no one to save them."

Gu Haiping looked dazed, and said with a decadent expression, and Zhao Tongjuan, who was standing on the side, was also full of pain.

"It's all that Fan Zhongqiao, an ungrateful dog, if it weren't for the help of adults, their Fan family would have been wiped out a long time ago, how can they have the title of the first clan in Xinhua County now."

Zhao Tongju said angrily.

"Forget it, since they have taken refuge in those wealthy families, it means that when Sanyi will be destroyed, it will be incompatible with our water and fire."

Gu Haiping looked helpless, his voice fell, and he turned to leave, as if he didn't want to look at the sea of fire in Beicheng anymore.

At the same time, in the lobby of the front hall of the Qian Mansion in Nancheng, a white-haired old man had his eyes slightly closed, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.

But if you look closely, you can see that the eyeballs inside the closed eyelids are moving, and it is obvious that they are thinking about something.

Qian Yunxue, who was standing in the center of the lobby, looked at the old man in front of him with a cold expression.

"Father, if the second brother continues to make trouble like this, our Qian family will definitely become the target of public criticism, and there is no way to gain a foothold in Yangzhou anymore."

Qian Yunxue said with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, the old man sitting in the high position slowly opened his eyes.

And this gray-haired old man is Qian Baishan, the head of the Qian family.

"Third brother, I know you have a lot of opinions about your second brother, but what I want to remind you is that the Qian family still has to be handed over to the third girl in the future, and it is not something that you two can take if you want to."

Qian Baishan's expression was indifferent, and he reminded Qian Yunxue with a serious face.

seems to want the other party to understand that the future head of the Qian family can only be the third daughter of the old family, that is, Qian Junlan, the only granddaughter of Qian Boshan.

Hearing these words, Qian Yunxue, who originally looked cold, immediately changed her face.

"I know, father, I never thought about the position of the head of the family, but as a member of the Qian family, I also want the family to go further, rather than let the second brother lose."

Qian Yunxue's face was full of anger, as if she wanted to turn her face with Qian Baishan, and her voice was much louder.

Hearing this, Qian Baishan sighed secretly, looked at the entourage around him, and stretched out his hand to signal.

Everyone retreated, and only him and Qian Yunxue were left in the entire hall.

"Second brother, he has a close relationship with President Han, and you should also know the transaction between the two, the Qian family's status in Yangzhou is already outstanding, and if you want to go further, you can only rely on the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce."

Qian Baishan looked helpless, looking very powerless, as if the position of the head of the Qian family was no longer worthy of the name.

"Didn't he just collude with that Han fat man to do smuggling together? So what, I can do it too, the trade at sea, I also have a connection with the East. ”

Qian Yunxue said with a disdainful face.

"They don't just do smuggling, they do big business, a big business that can control whether the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed or not, although they are only responsible for a part, or even a small part, but their organization is too powerful."

Qian Baishan's face was full of sadness, and he seemed to be very clear about the affairs of the second master of the Qian family and President Han.

It's just that there is no power to stop it, and let it develop savagely.

"Father, as you said, even if they can carry the Qian family to the entire Nandu and even the entire Jiangnan Hao clan, what is the use? Da Ming is dead, do you think those people will keep us? ”

Qian Yunxue also seemed to know what the second master of the Qian family was doing, and she also showed a worried look.

Hearing this, Qian Baishan was silent, stood up and walked in front of Qian Yunxue.

"Don't blame your second brother, in fact, I asked him to do these things, if we don't do it, we will be replaced, and at that time it will be destroyed, but I am too small to change the overall situation!"

Qian Baishan smiled bitterly, reached out and patted Qian Yunxue on the shoulder, looked at her meaningfully, and then left the hall.

The back of leaving was very staggering, as if he was a few years older.

At this time, Qian Yunxue, who was at a loss, finally understood that her useless second brother, in addition to causing trouble for a day, had a more important thing to do was to act as this traitor for the old man in order to keep the family's status in Yangzhou.

In the boudoir of the third lady of the Qian family in the backyard of the Qian Mansion, Qian Junlan looked at the bronze mirror with a sad face, looking at her haggard face.
