Chapter 367: Black Powder
"Where did I know the people from Hanzhou?"
Before Mei Berry, who took the letter, opened the envelope, he was confused by Xie Changchen's words.
"I know cashmere sheep in Hanzhou, as well as the medicinal herbs there, all of which are imported. If one day the people of Hanzhou can eat it, maybe I will know it. β
As soon as Mei Berry said this, Xie Changchen couldn't help laughing.
After all, this letter was secretly delivered from Hanzhou, and this messenger's skills were not low, if it wasn't for the secret guards who found out that the two sides had fought each other, that person would have to throw the letterhead to their people.
At the moment, it is estimated that it is not him, but the person who delivered the letter.
When Mei Berry heard Xie Changchen say this, she couldn't wait to open the letter.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Mei Berry was first surprised, and then her brows couldn't help but twist into twists.
"The letter said that Dongfang Tai plans to start the open-pit coal and iron mine outside Hanzhou soon, and it seems that he is still joining forces with Hu Ren."
The mine plum berry had only received a letter from Mei You earlier, mentioning that Mei You was now stationed there with troops.
"Sooner or later. It is the closest mining area to Dacheng, and the quality is also quite good. Originally, it was occupied by the Tartars, but now that the Tartars have retreated, it is not impossible that he has no ideas.
And there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king. The Tartars on the grassland are gone, and those Hu people are a little cautious. β
But the letter said...... They were going to use black powder. β
Black powder, this thing, plum berries are ripe!
"If this ...... is used in the coal mining area"
Plum Berry couldn't imagine what an earth-shattering scene it must be.
"Dongfang Tai, black powder, then Yan Pingguan was also the ghost he made before?"
Although Dongfang Tai also found evidence to prove that Dongfang Harmonic sold black powder to Tartar, but now Dongfang Tai also thought of black powder, which made Mei Berry think more.
"What exactly does the letter say?"
Xie Changchen couldn't help but worry, Mei Berry gave him the letter directly, and he looked at it for a while before he said: "Although the person in the letter didn't say his identity, but ...... If my guess is correct, I can know that Hu is about the general judge Wang Henian of Hanzhou. β
"Huh?"
Okay, Mei Berry thought that Xie Changchen would talk about Dongfang Tai and Black Powder, but now he suddenly proposed a character, which aroused Mei Berry's curiosity.
"The current prefect of Hanzhou, Jia Yifang, is one of his henchmen, and he was personally ordered to be transferred, so it is impossible to defect at will.
As for Wang Henian, he has served in Hanzhou for more than ten years.
Although Hanzhou was originally the territory of Dongfang Tai, but in the early years, Dongfang Harmony made a detour to Hanzhou in order to smuggle grain and sell it in order to hide people's eyes, and the former Hanzhou prefect Ye Xuan was bought by him, and Ye Xuan died suddenly shortly after Yanpingguan was attacked the year before last. β
"This was discovered?"
Plum berry heard Xie Changchen say this, and immediately noticed the element.
Xie Changchen nodded.
"Yes, Ye Xuan secretly cooperated with Dongfang Harmony to resell grain, in fact, Dongfang Tai always knew about it, but he didn't expect Ye Xuan to pour it so thoroughly, and even sold the black powder with Dongfang Harmony.
Later, after Dongfang Tai found out about this matter, Hanzhou was replaced by Dongfang Tai's henchman.
Do you guess that Ye Kun's exposure and the specific collusion between him and Dongfang Harmony were told to Dongfang Tai before? β
Xie Changchen mentioned this, and Mei Berry didn't say that Wang Henian was a fool.
"But even if Ye Xuan is dead, but his trading line Dongfang Sun is unwilling to give up, and his trade with the Tartars is still continuing, but dangerous goods such as black powder will no longer continue."
"Really. The soldiers of Yanpingguan ate bran and swallowed vegetables to resist the tartars, they were good, and they didn't know where to get the people's fat and people's ointment to feed the tartars? β
Plum berries were directly laughed at by their popularity.
Dongfang Tai is really bold enough, his hometown is also in Yanzhou, and he is not afraid that the Tartars will really break through Yanping Pass and slaughter his hometown, right?
"So what's going on with this Year of the Crane Wang? I don't follow King Wei at this time, and suddenly I want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so I came to contact me? β
"It's not so much that this person is abandoning darkness and turning to light, but rather a clever wall-head who will examine the degree."
It's just a few words, Xie Changchen has already seen who this Wang Henian is.
"If Wang Henian didn't participate in those things that Ye Xuan did, how could he know about those things, and even revealed them to Dongfang Tai in the end?"
Plum Berry shook her head, she naturally didn't believe it.
"Wang Henian is one of the few people who can live safely until now after the prefect died violently, and he still continues to help King Wei."
Talent!
Hearing this, Mei Berry heard Xie Changchen say this, and had a new evaluation of Wang Henian in his mind.
Character aside, the other party's behavior of protecting himself is also powerful.
"He was originally doing things for King Wei, but after Ye Kun was rebelled against by King Qi, he actually followed Ye Kun who was rebelled.
Realizing that Ye Xuan and King Qi had no future in such behavior, he quickly withdrew and regained his loyalty to King Wei, and now, he came to me behind King Wei's back......"
Mei Berry herself was about to be a little entangled by what she said about Wang Henian.
"He can only say that he is not satisfied with the status quo, but if we want him to completely defect, it depends on whether we can meet his expectations."
Xie Changchen didn't think that Wang Henian dared to choose plum berries when it was unclear everywhere at this time, at best, he just wanted to have one more way back.
After listening to Xie Changchen's words, Mei Berry herself also thought about it for a while, sharpened her back molars and said: "Whether it is tempted or not, Dongfang Tai wants to use black powder to calculate Mei You, if it is true, I will thank Wang Henian first." β
Β·Β·Β·
The capital city of Hanzhou.
"My lord, do you really want to transport these to the north?"
Late at night, Wang Henian and others stood at the door of the county government treasury without even lighting a torch, and Wang Henian repeatedly confirmed with Jia Yifang.
"The prince has an order, cooperate with the Jing tribe to transport black powder to them, don't you know?"
Jia Yifang stretched out her hand and yawned, today she only felt that Wang Henian, who had always been proper and calm, had a lot to say.
"Doesn't that mean it's unstable? It's dry these days, in case you get ...... along the way."
"Alas! Rest during the day, go on the road at night, and take advantage of the cool night without getting in the way. β
Jia Yifang seemed to be reminded of something by Wang Henian, glanced at the busy guards, and said, "Open flames are not allowed in the transportation process, do you hear?!" β
"Yes!"
Listening to Jia Yifang's instructions, Wang Henian's eyes flashed slightly and said tentatively: "It is said that sometimes there will be explosions when there is an open flame in the mining area, similar to this black powder, if the two meet ......"
"Yes~"
Obviously, Jia Yifang knows this.
"When the time comes, the explosives will be thrown into the minesβbam! Bang bang bang! Bangββ! β
In the pale afterglow, Wang Henian looked at the person who was a few years younger than himself, and the onomatopoeia that came out of his mouth made his heart feel cold.
These people are crazy!
Whether it's the King of Qi or the King of Wei!
They are all crazy people who only care about themselves and don't care about others!
When he returned to his mansion, it was already dark, and Wang Henian dragged his tired body and did not go back to his bedroom, but came to the study.
"Godfather."
I was startled by the girl in a tight nightwear in black behind the door.
"Qiao'er, why is it so fast?"
Wang Henian did not forget what he sent Qiao'er to the south.
"It's all because my daughter is useless, and the letter was intercepted at the border......"
"W-What?!"
Wang Henian only felt dizzy in front of him, but soon he was helped by Qiao'er, who continued:
"Fortunately, they are all people from Xianyao's side, and they should all be people under the Junjun, I will hand over the letter to them, and they promise to send it to the Junjun as soon as possible."
She originally wanted to go to Xianyao to investigate the situation, but she was not skilled enough and could only be blocked out.
"That's good......"
Wang Henian didn't notice the change on Qiao'er's face, he only quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was still a faint expectation for plum berries in his heart.
No matter who he is, he doesn't want to spend a day of such crazy days!
Ahhhh
