Liu Zhang knew that Wang Qing was sent by Wang Tong to assist him in his daily work.

I want to make a friendly friendship with him, and it will be of great benefit to the player in the future.

Wang Tong's calculations are very fine, and the Wang family has indeed made friends with many dignitaries.

Today, Madame Wang is being favored by the emperor, but it is not a long-term solution.

The Wang family wants to get more benefits and make the family's position more stable.

The so-called emperor of flowing water, a family of iron, Wang Qing is a branch of the main line of the Wang family.

"Honghou, what do you need me to do? I don't want them to say I'm an idler. ”

"Your Majesty asked you to help me with my work, and you can help me tidy up the drawing room. I need to remind you that nothing here is allowed to be taken out of the Shang Fang Department. You can't even reveal anything about the Shang Fang Agency, can you do it? ”

Liu Zhang kindly reminded him that some of the items and drawings here were confidential.

If it is revealed to others, it will cause losses to the imperial court.

That's a big crime, and I hope Wang Qing will not only do his part.

To keep it a secret, Liu Zhang sat at the table and prepared to draw.

These drawings are made to improve the original utensils.

Among these artifacts are household utensils, as well as weapon modifications.

Liu Zhang drew a few strokes on the paper with a pen, and suddenly, an explosion came.

He hurriedly stood up, and he felt the ground shake as well.

What the hell is going on? He'll have to go and see, hopefully there won't be any casualties.

Liu Zhang walked out of the studio and asked Wang Qing to follow.

The studio door was locked, and I hurried to the scene of the incident.

The area of the office is very large, and there are various workshops here.

The explosion just now was not small, and he speculated that if there were people nearby, it would inevitably cause casualties.

He came to the vicinity of the fire kiln, and he saw that the fire kiln had been blown into ruins.

Some people were injured to varying degrees, but fortunately no one was killed.

Other craftsmen carried the injured away from the scene for treatment, and the next step was to investigate why the kiln had exploded.

"Strange? The kiln exploded in a good way, and many people were injured. ”

You dare to rush over with someone and see the kiln being blown to pieces.

There have been cases of kilns cracking and collapsing before, but this time it exploded.

Liu Zhang guessed that some of the substances in the kiln had an explosive reaction, so he blew up a kiln.

The first thing that made him think of explosive gunpowder was that other furnaces were also affected.

It also caused varying degrees of damage, but fortunately the craftsmen did not get too close at the time.

Hit by some broken bricks from the explosion, the craftsmen were smashed and burned.

"You sent someone to the princess's mansion to get some medicine, it's some healing medicine."

Liu Zhang asked Li Dang to send someone to the Pingyang Princess's Mansion to get medicine and control the injuries of these injured craftsmen as soon as possible.

This prevents the wound infection from worsening and potentially life-threatening.

"Don't go over yet, the danger hasn't been eliminated yet, so as not to get hurt."

You dare to stop Liu Zhang, the aftermath of the explosion of gunpowder has not yet dissipated.

They could only watch from a distance until it was completely quiet.

Investigate the situation in the past, and then report the matter to Liu Che.

"There was an explosion in the furnace, and what could have been burned reacted."

This is Liu Zhang's initial speculation, but it is not certain whether it is the negligence of the craftsmen.

If it is not caused by negligence, then there is no responsibility.

In this furnace is some charcoal, and after this charcoal is fired.

It was to be delivered to the palace, and the charcoal was made of the finest wood.

These charcoals have a delicate texture and emit a fresh fragrance during burning.

In previous years, it was burned by the Shang Fang Bureau, and although there was coal, the palace was mainly heated with high-quality charcoal.

This charcoal has an off-white appearance and is cooled after it is fired.

Touch it with your hands and it won't leave the slightest dust on your hands.

The charcoal in this furnace is destroyed, which will affect the charcoal used in the palace.

Liu Zhang picked up a piece of charcoal on the ground that had been blown up, and the center of the charcoal was white.

The surface is grayish-white, and when I pinch it with my hand, the charcoal is very hard.

There was no soot on my hands, and I smelled it again, a bit like a pine scent.

This charcoal has not yet been burned to the standard used, but there was an accident.

Sure enough, it is the best charcoal, which is durable to burn.

Exclusively for the use of members of the royal family, Liu Zhang based on his original memories.

Honghou Mansion has never used this kind of charcoal, and this kind of charcoal is indeed very expensive.

"This is charcoal made of fragrant pine wood, which is exclusively used by His Majesty, concubines, princes, and princesses, and this charcoal is extremely expensive."

Li Dang whispered to Liu Zhang, and when it burns, it will emit a fragrance.

Liu Zhang is not concerned about where the charcoal comes from or how expensive it is.

The explosion of the charcoal-fired kiln is the purpose of the investigation.

If it is vandalized, it seems that it will have little effect on the use of charcoal by members of the royal family.

If you want to create panic in this way, it is estimated that the saboteur made a mistake.

"Wait a minute, we'll go over and see what happens. This matter must be reported to His Majesty, and perhaps the Imperial Governor's Office will need to investigate. ”

Liu Zhang wondered if someone had deliberately put some medicine in the charcoal, and then several substances had a chemical reaction.

Those people were planning to burn charcoal and transport it to the palace.

Members of the royal family were poisoned during the use of charcoal, which is only Liu Zhang's speculation.

If this is the case, then the only suspicious people are Xiongnu Shan Yu and Huainan Wang.

One wants to enter the Central Plains, and the other wants to seize the throne through rebellion.

Liu Zhang felt that the suspicion of the king of Huainan was a little greater, and although the Xiongnu Shan Yu arranged for people in Chang'an.

However, during this time, he was all captured by the Imperial Lieutenant Bureau, and it was impossible to sabotage it for a short time.

After half an hour or so, are you sure there is no danger?

Liu Zhang and the others just passed, and the fragrant pine charcoal was blown everywhere.

The fragrant pine wood is indeed very strong, but it is fried into several sections.

Liu Zhang asked some people to dig up the rubble, and he wanted to check the incendiary materials in the rubble.

The guards and craftsmen dug for a while, filling some of the incendiary material into the barrels.

Then he took it to an open place and spread it out, and Liu Zhang pulled it with iron tongs.

The guard picked up some charcoal and brought it to him for inspection.

Liu Zhang found that some charcoal had red powders on them, and these powders may have certain toxicity.

Perhaps after firing, the poison seeps into the charcoal.

This red powder is then cleaned up once the poison in the charcoal is inhaled.

It can cause serious damage to the body and even lose life.

Liu Zhang also found the remnants of the explosion in the burning ashes, as well as some metal fragments.

He judged that it might be a detonating device, and he found plastic in the ashes.

"There's some metal fragments in there, I don't know what material this is."

Liu Zhang pinched up the metal and plastic fragments with his hands, and of course he would not say that he was holding plastic in his right hand.

"You're saying the furnace was blown up, and it has something to do with it. These are just a few tiny pieces that are not enough to prove. ”

It's not that Li Dang doesn't believe his guess, he just thinks it's incredible.

"I'm just guessing that there are some things that have to be investigated by the Imperial Authority. This red powder may be poisonous, wait a while, let someone else wash their hands. ”

I picked up charcoal just now, and I may have got red powder.

In order not to stick the red powder on the food when eating, it will be poisoned if you eat it.

"You've just picked up this charcoal, go wash your hands. The red powder on this charcoal can be poisonous, so don't put it in your mouth. ”

Li Dare instructed those guards and craftsmen that he didn't want any more accidents to happen to Shang Fang.

"According to my guess, someone quietly sprinkled poisonous powder on the charcoal. It is possible that these powders are not dry at first, and the powder will penetrate into the charcoal. ”

Li dared to listen to Liu Zhang's speculation, that is, someone wanted to murder the emperor and concubines, as well as the princes and princesses.

Someone wanted to seize the throne, and Li Dare felt that the Xiongnu had a lot of suspicion.

Some of the princes and kings were more suspicious, and some people made up their minds on charcoal.

But what is the matter with this explosion, is it man-made? Or was it an accident?

"This explosion may have been accidental, it has something to do with this thing, and this matter has to be investigated by the Imperial Authority."

To the extent possible, the Shang Fang Department assisted the Court Guard Office in its investigation. Liu Zhang is not a professional detective after all.

Professional things are left to professional people, anyway, the explosion of this kiln has nothing to do with him.

"I have already sent someone to inform the Imperial Authority, and I will also report to Your Majesty."

Li Dang felt that this matter was not trivial, and investigated the gunpowder explosion as soon as possible.

Maybe some people are still plotting other sabotage or assassination, all of which revolve around the struggle for imperial power.

Li Kang only heard that the king of Huainan had the intention of rebellion, but there was no conclusive evidence.

Li Dare said goodbye to Liu Zhang and asked him to be more careful in the Shang Fang Department.

There are so many people in Shang Fang's office, there must be some people sent by the princes and kings.

There may also be people sent by the Xiongnu, and Li Dare let the guards strengthen the protection of Liu Zhang.

He wants to report what happened here to Liu Che, so that the potential danger of the Shang Fang Department can be eliminated as soon as possible.

so as not to affect the work of the craftsmen of the Shang Fang Department and threaten everyone's safety.
