This is...... Gunpowder?

Zhu Jiu almost immediately smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air, filled with a dangerous aura.

She got up and looked at the place where a black cloud had risen in the middle of the village, and rushed over faster than everyone else.

"Hanmei, stay here, don't go near the village!"

She couldn't think of a second person who could unconsciously arrange so many explosives in Pingyang Village, except for Tu Yu, who was brought in before.

What's more, how could it be so coincidental that as soon as they walked on the front foot, there was an explosion in Pingyang Village on the back foot?

I don't know what this group of guys want to do, fortunately Xuanyuan Che is not here, if Xuanyuan Che is here, the other party will detonate these explosives, this seemingly worthless small disaster will bring ruin to the entire Xuanyuan country!

It's just that she only took two steps, and suddenly reacted, at this critical time, what did she think about Xuanyuan Che in her mind?

Is it hard to forget?

Zhu Jiu was taken aback, and when he reacted, he had already arrived at the place where the explosion occurred in the village.

Yun'er was in a hurry, busy rescuing the chickens and ducks that were injured by the explosion, and when she saw Zhu Jiu coming, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to report the situation to her: "Niangniang, don't worry, although there was an explosion this time, it didn't hurt us." :

"It's just a pity that many chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs raised by many people in the village have been injured a lot."

These were wounded, but the people were okay?

Zhu Jiu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think, if people are blown up, will Pingyang Village still exist?

Moreover, the other party is obviously being watched under her nose in her daily life, and Min Que is looking at him, it stands to reason that he can't get these things in.

But in fact, Tu Yu quietly brought in explosives, I don't know if there are other places in the capital, but there are such things?

After touching Yun'er's hair and seeing that her hand hidden in her sleeve was no longer trembling, Zhu Jiucai said, "Organize everyone to kill these things, make them into cured meat, and keep them for the New Year."

Anyway, these things are also going to be killed during the New Year, fortunately, most of the piglets have been slaughtered, and now although there are piglets injured, they are not serious.

As for the chickens, ducks and geese, they are already timid, after such a fright, where can they survive?

Sooner or later, you're going to die, so it's better to kill and eat it while it's fresh.

Originally, everyone was still a little frightened, scared, and panicked, but after listening to Zhu Jiu's words, they couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.

"Yes, these things were meant to be killed, and I still think it's a pity, but now that I think about it, it's just to advance the New Year's events."

There are still a lot of good things in Pingyang Village this year, and the big guys have worked hard to follow the queen for nearly four months, not to mention the rich and expensive, there is still some surplus money in their pockets.

They can afford such a loss.

Seeing that the explosion did not have any impact on the people's hearts, Zhu Jiucai said, "Village chief, you and I will investigate the cause of this incident and give everyone an explanation at night."

There were originally people in the village who wanted to ask about the cause of the explosion, but after hearing Zhu Jiu's words, they quieted down and went to work.

Since the queen mother has said that she will investigate the reason, and there is also the village chief to follow, what else do they have to question?

Besides, what the queen mother said, they haven't missed it until now, they just need to be obedient.

The village chief and the others dispersed before cautiously coming to Zhu Jiu's side, "Niangniang, do you know who caused this explosion?"

Knowing is knowing, but you can't say it explicitly, otherwise let these people know that it is the people from the Western Regions who are doing the sabotage here, and they don't know what things will ferment into.

Zhu Jiu explained: "I wanted to use these explosives to blow up the big rocks in the mountain behind the village and open an official road, but I didn't expect my subordinates to plant explosives for the first time, and they thought I was going to raze Pingyang Village."

When she said this, there was a look of shame on her face.

The village chief was really startled, and he was also relieved, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Fortunately, that person doesn't have any bad intentions, although he buried it in the wrong place,

But it didn't hurt everyone, otherwise we wouldn't be able to explain it."

Such a statement would damage Zhu Jiu's reputation.

It's also not good for the imperial court.

But this statement, which can calm the panic and avoid creating unnecessary trouble, will ultimately have more advantages than disadvantages.

The village chief was a little more tactful, and didn't say anything straight, only said that it was an accident, and didn't say anything more.

And Zhu Jiu also invited a troupe from outside that day to sing for everyone, suppressing the shock.

This is another night's banquet, eating people with short mouths, besides, everyone is happy to watch the play together, usually there is no such a good color, today the panic was over, and it did not go to the court.

After Zhu Jiu pacified the people of Pingyang Village, he immediately issued a supervision order to Cinnabar Building.

Zhu Jiu personally issued a supervision order, even if that person died, he would still be supervised by Cinnabar Building later.

Not only that, but she also contacted the people on the side of the Black Soul Palace.

At night, by the river in the village.

Zhu Jiu put down his whistle, looked at the man in black who came to her, and raised his eyebrows: "What about the Black Soul Messenger?"

The Black Soul Emissary, the first emissary of the Black Soul Palace, has completely disappeared from Zhu Jiu's sight since the Ghost Shadow Building was resolved, and this person also got the treasure map.

I don't know what he is going to do, anyway, all the matters of the Black Soul Palace, except for the part of the power in Zhu Jiu's hands, the rest of the time she doesn't know anything about the news of the Black Soul Palace.

It seems that the Black Soul Hall is really as rumored to say, and each envoy has its own duties.

The man in black said respectfully, "My master has not been in the capital recently, you can tell your subordinates directly if you have something."

"Isn't he in the capital......

When these people from the Western Regions came to the capital, she thought that the Black Soul Envoy must also be here, maybe these people came here with his handiwork.

Unexpectedly, he walked fast, and it seemed that he had already gotten some clues from the treasure map and was already looking for the treasure.

Zhu Jiu nodded, looked at him and said, "Since your master has left, then you will hunt down this person for me."

She pulled out a portrait of Tu Tu.

As a qualified secret guard and internal response, Zhu Jiu has been proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and painting is easy for her.

The man in black took it, looked at it carefully, and didn't ask much, but said to Zhu Jiu, "If the envoy asks, how should his subordinates answer?"

The implication is that if the Black Soul Envoy intervenes in this matter, how should Zhu Jiu explain?

If it was in the past, Zhu Jiu would definitely go with him.

But today, while letting the Cinnabar House spy on Tu Yu, she let the Black Soul Hall chase and kill him, in order to force Tu Yu into a desperate situation.

A person like him, who is harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but has countless backhands behind him, will only reveal his true face when he is cornered.

As for the man in black's words, Zhu Jiu smiled: "You just tell him that this person is what I, Zhu Jiu, want to kill."
