Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 333 Lord Hou's Fear

"I don't know if people from the Feng family can be found."

After leaving the dungeon, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha walked back hand in hand, their faces looked better than before, not so scary.

"When the incident happened, you were still young, so you probably don't remember it. The old man of the Feng family was hit too hard because of the robbery of gold, and he passed away in a few days. The old lady of the Feng family was also overwhelmed by grief, and soon He passed away. Later, because the case was never solved, and the gold was not recovered, the business of the Feng family gold shop plummeted, and a lot of money was owed. The head of the Feng family sold the shop, property and so on. , barely changed into foreign debts, disheartened, dismissed the family servants, and took the family back to their hometown. Later, my father received news that the boat the family was on was hit by a large ship on the way back to their hometown. The wind and waves capsized the whole ship and everyone on board died."

"Died?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Did you find the body?"

"No." Shen Haolin shook his head and glanced at Shen Cha, "I know what you want to say, you want to see people when you live, and you want to see corpses when you die, don't you?"

"Hmm!" Shen Cha sneezed fiercely, "Seeing is believing!"

"The place where the accident happened has been searched for seven days, and all places within a radius of a hundred miles have been searched, but..." Shen Haolin stretched out his hand to touch Shen Cha's forehead, feeling a little hot, and frowned unconsciously, "Is it cold?" gone?"

"No, it's just that my nose is itchy, and it's because my brother's hands are a little cold." Shen Cha held Shen Haolin's hand tightly, "I've searched all over a hundred miles, but I still haven't found those people? So, let's announce them directly." dead?"

"It wasn't directly, it was after half a year that there was still no news or trace, so their household registration was removed." Shen Haolin sighed, "So, there is no need to go to the Feng family, even if they are still living here. The world probably won't ask for this gold back."

"Why?" Shen Cha was puzzled, "If the gold is found, it should be returned to the family, why not?"

"How many people's blood has been stained with this batch of gold, and how many people have died because of it? Do you think they will want it? Even if they want it, the descendants of the Feng family will probably be beaten again because of the ownership of this batch of gold." The blood is bleeding, and maybe a few more lives will be caused. Therefore, it is the wisest choice not to. As for how to deal with this batch of gold, it depends on His Majesty's will."

"Brother, there is some truth to what he said." Shen Cha breathed a long sigh of relief, "No matter what His Majesty means, this batch of gold will still be put into the private treasury, not those people from the Ministry of Households that I can't trust, But one thing more is worse than one thing less. If something goes wrong at that time, I am impatient to have a lawsuit with them."

"You don't need to come forward, just your Brother Xiaotian and Brother Xiaojing can spray them to death, not to mention Baimeng is still here, if something goes wrong, he, the commander, will bear the brunt of it."

"According to my brother, we still have a big magic weapon. With her here, we don't have to worry."

"That's right, so, why don't you worry about it!" Shen Haolin tapped Shen Cha's head lightly twice, "What you Xiaotian said is true, you will always say the same thing and do the same thing set."

"What the hell is she thinking?"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha followed the prestige, and saw Xue Ruitian wrapped in a thick cloak, standing at the entrance of the flower hall.Seeing their eyes turned to him, he waved his paw excitedly.

"Why did you come out? Don't you feel cold?" Shen Haolin pulled Shen Cha and walked quickly to Xue Ruitian's side, "Why, you still want to let Jin Miaomiao serve you for another two days? Try her new cold prescription Does it work?"

"Hey, don't, I don't want to provoke her again. Her prescription, drink it once and spit it out, I think she is trying to punish me." Xue Ruitian followed Shen Haolin and Shen Cha into the flower hall, "By the way, What were you talking about just now? Also, what did the assassins find that deserves Xiaojiu and the others to make you look at it in such a hurry?"

"It's true that I found something extraordinary!" Shen Haolin took off his cloak and handed it to Mei Lin. He looked at Xue Ruitian, then at Jin Jing, Bai Meng and Yelunan, "You just want to break your head, and you can't do it." Absolutely impossible to guess."

"Really?" Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing exchanged glances, "Since we can't guess, then you shouldn't be fooling around, just tell me!"

"gunpowder!"

"..." Xue Ruitian blinked, turned around and grabbed Jin Jing, "Did I just hallucinate?"

"...I'm sorry to tell you, no." Jin Jing frowned, looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Gunpowder? What kind of gunpowder?"

"The color is very good and the quality is high." Shen Haolin filled a bowl of hot mutton soup for Shen Cha, sprinkled some spices from Dashi in it, and handed it to Shen Cha, "Drink it while it's hot."

"Oh!" Shen Cha picked up the soup bowl and took a sip, raised his eyebrows at Xue Ruitian who was speechless, "Not only is the color good, the quality is good, the quantity is also huge, I counted it, there are a whole Thirty cans."

"Are people from the Duan family crazy?" Bai Meng put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Thirty cans of gunpowder, if it really blows up, the unlucky ones will not only be Jiaping Pass City, but also the border gates of the Liao Kingdom that are closest to us." They will also be razed to the ground. They... how dare they... how dare they do this? Is a little Duan family so impatient to provoke the anger of Liao and Xia?"

"gunpowder!"

Xue Ruitian managed to regain his composure, only to realize that he had been pulled back by Jin Jing to sit down, he slapped the table hard, and Yelunan who was next to him almost threw his chopsticks out in fright.

"Master Hou, Master Hou, calm down!" Yelunan patted Xue Ruitian's arm, "Don't be so excited, since you've found it, it won't run away on its own, right?"

"How can I not be excited?" Xue Ruitian slammed the table, "You have never seen the power of a large amount of gunpowder explosion, but I have."

"Have you seen it?" Bai Meng squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while, "Oh, I remembered, the fire in Shifo Temple in the suburbs of Xijing thirteen years ago was caused by the explosion of a large amount of gunpowder. Lord Hou... Did you experience it yourself?"

"That's right, to this day, I can't forget the scene at that time." Xue Ruitian took a deep breath, "I remember that day I went to offer incense with my mother. After walking a long way, something happened in the nunnery. The moment of the explosion , I felt that the world was trembling violently. The carriage we were riding in turned over. The horses were frightened and dragged the overturned carriage. Fortunately, there were only two tremors, and they quickly recovered. There were no injured guards Quickly subdued the frightened horse, and then saved my mother and me." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and shook his head, "After several days, I learned from my father that all the monks in Shifo nunnery were former monks. Chao Yu Nie, just wanted to come up with something to cause trouble for Da Xia. My father said that the gunpowder they used had a lot of impurities, otherwise, the consequences would be even more disastrous."

"Brother Xiaotian, don't worry, with my elder brother, you, and the commander in chief, we will never have such a thing happen here, so you don't have to worry." Mopping her mouth, "However, there is one thing that must be taken seriously." She looked at Yelunan, "This group of people can hide so much gunpowder in Jiaping Pass City, there is no guarantee that the border of Liao Kingdom will not have the same problem. "

"General Shen is right." Yelunan said sternly, "I was also thinking about this issue just now. Such a big event happened in Jiaping Pass, which is so strictly controlled. We who never care about gunpowder..." He With a wry smile, "In the eyes of people with ulterior motives, I'm afraid it's like a sieve! In my mind, we will go back early tomorrow morning, and we have to check our border."

"Mr. Nan is right. This is a major event, so we must not delay it." Bai Meng nodded in agreement, "It's just..."

"The commander-in-chief wants to say that not only Liao and Xia will have this kind of thing, but Jin will also have it, right?" Yelunan smiled and exchanged glances with several people, "Don't worry, I will tell you when I get back. Yan Xi, as for what he will do... that is his own choice."
