Chapter 119
Fortunately, the safety performance of the improved version of the oil cannon has been improved a lot, and there are no deaths or injuries. General B was also excited to let the fruit-eating little dumpling try it.

Guo Liulang was all focused on the safety of the regent, and he didn't see any movement from General B.

By the time he saw it, it was already too late, and before he had time to doubt whether the little group could push the handle, the cannon over there had already sprayed out.

Guo Liulang: "!!!!!!"

Xiaotuanzi was expressionless. He wiped his clothes with one hand and continued to eat the fruit with the other. Guo Liulang instantly felt that he was being crushed ruthlessly.

General B looked very proud of my cub.

"Is this the general's son?" Guo Liulang asked.

General B was shocked.

Xiaotuanzi also gave Guo Liulang a cold look, "How can my father be so ugly?"

General B's face twitched again, as if he was about to explode but didn't dare to, he hummed:

"How ugly is this general!"

Xiaotuanzi ignored him, as if this was a question that didn't need to be answered, so the little short legs turned away.

General B was annoyed and gave Guo Liulang a hard look.

what look in your eyes!
Uncle, I haven't even seen my daughter-in-law, where is my son!

Guo Liulang touched his nose and looked away.

On the other side, the regent tried a few times before he withdrew his hand, Xiaotuanzi smiled and handed over a handkerchief, "Daddy wipe your hands."

The regent glanced at Xiaotuanzi, took the veil and wiped it.

Sometimes even he himself can't tell the depth of this little thing from the real to the fake.

He asked the guards to find a son as a substitute, and the guards brought back such a small thing, saying that they found it in a beggar's den on the street.

Can the beggar's nest be white and fat?

Coax ghosts.

But I can't help that Xiaodong looks too much like his son, but it's just a stand-in, and he's still a child, so he doesn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until this little thing defeated several killers in a row that he realized that this little thing was not simple.

This not-so-simple little thing always looks expressionless, but in front of him, he smiles as if he doesn't want money, and even yells "My dad, my dad" very smoothly.

As if he was really his father.

Since his ex-wife was a spy, he felt that it might be possible, so he sent someone to investigate, but nothing was found, the little thing is really a little beggar.

But Xiaotuanzi is not an ordinary beggar, but a beggar leader.

You don’t need to go out to beg for food and drink, and the younger brother will offer you the kind.

It is said that he has a mysterious master who has learned martial arts well. He beat up gangsters all over the city when he was four or five years old, and he is known as the No. [-] bully in Qingzhou.

Why not number one?
It is said that in order to save face for the governor, he wronged himself for the time being.

That day, Xiaotuanzi went to the street to mediate a street dispute, but was seen by the regent's people, and secretly captured him at night while he was drunk.

After waking up, Xiao Tuanzi was going to fight hard, but when he saw the regent himself, he was stunned. Hearing that the guards asked him to pretend to be the son of the regent for a while, he opened his mouth and called Dad without saying a word.

The guard had prepared a draft and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't expect Xiaotuanzi to be so forthright, so he was confused instead.

At this moment, the regent was also a little confused.

It stands to reason that this small group has completed the task and can take the reward and leave, but he said that he didn't want to leave and planned to follow him in the future.

Follow it, follow it, the Prince Regent's Mansion can't afford it, but it's just a waste of fruit.

But this little thing pretends that his son is addicted, what's going on without changing his mouth?

"What's your name?"

After leaving He's house, the regent asked Xiaotuanzi across from him in the carriage.

Those younger brothers said that their boss is called Xiaobawang.

Xiaotuanzi's eyes brightened, "Dad, have you forgotten? You haven't named me yet."

Regent: "...this king is not your father."

Xiaotuanzi's face turned aggrieved in seconds, "You told me to call you daddy"

The damned headache came back, and the regent pressed his temple.

After a while he said:

"If you don't want to go back to Qingzhou, you can follow this king. This time you have made great contributions, this king can accept you as a foster son."

Xiaotuanzi rolled his eyes, "Then can I call you daddy from now on?"

The regent pursed his lips, "Or foster father?"

Xiaotuanzi giggled, "Okay Daddy, can you give me a name now?"

So Xiaotuanzi had a name worthy of his adopted son's identity, Yuanlue.

Looking for the warm Yuan Tao in Qingzhou:! ! ! ! ! !

Manager Wang of the iron kiln was overjoyed.

It wasn't because the coal sent by the He family continued to smelt good iron, but because the regent who made him tremble for many days came to Wuhai Town, he didn't go directly to the iron kiln Xingshi to question his crimes as rumored.

A trip to the iron kiln with great fanfare was just a formality, and he sat in the room for a few hours before leaving without asking or saying anything.

I only ate a few cups of snacks on the coffee table.

It's as if you came to the iron kiln just to have a cup of tea and snacks.

I heard that the army can't even pay the military salary. Could it be that the regent is so poor that he can't even afford tea and snacks?
But Manager Wang only dared to think this way in his heart, he didn't dare to be sloppy in what he was supposed to do, and urged the He family to quickly make a document for him and give him a proper explanation.

After all, this is Hejia Coal's problem.

During this period of time, he was busy with the mine disaster and the oil artillery, Guo Liulang and Bai Fu had long forgotten about Wang Guanshi's affairs, but He Erxin was obsessed with it.

"I'm afraid the paperwork will take some time." He Er respectfully replied to Manager Wang, "A few days ago, there was a mining accident in the He family mine, and the family was in a mess. This is just sorting out."

Now the entire Wuhai Town knows about the Hejia Mine Disaster.

Manager Wang naturally knew it too. He also knew that the regent had accepted the He family's pleadings and ordered a strict investigation of the coal miners of the Wang family and the Jin family.

A few of those people are innocent, and a lot of bad things can be found if you check them casually. Now the Coal Mining Department has been banned, the mine of the Wang family and Jin family has also been temporarily closed, and a group of officials have been suspended pending investigation.

But it has nothing to do with him.

In the past, coal was only used by low-end kilns. His kiln was an official kiln of the Ministry of War, and all the charcoal used was high-quality bamboo charcoal. It had nothing to do with the Wang family and the Jin family.

At most, when he first bought coal, he blackmailed the Wang family, the Jin family, and the He family, and asked them to send a lot of good coal for free to store in the warehouse, intending to keep it for heating in winter.

It's not a big deal, so naturally it doesn't matter to him.

And after they made such a fuss, the issue of weapons suddenly seemed less conspicuous, and the oppression of the Shangguan also eased a lot.

However, Guanshi Wang is a cautious person, and Shangguan's relaxation does not mean that he is also qualified to relax.

"He Er!" Wang Guanshi said earnestly:
"Although the regent accepted the petition from your He family, it was just that the Wang family and the Jin family did commit a crime. The regent is such a just and strict person that he would definitely not support the He family because of this, so what the He family should do is still to do. .”

He Er let out a sound in his heart, and said with a respectful smile:

"Wang Guanshi is right, so my young master has been staying up late to write paperwork these days, and will send it to you as soon as it is finished."

Only a few people know about the oil cannon. People outside don't know that the regent will not only support the He family, but will also be tightly bound with the He family in the future.

Bai Fu said that even if there will be rumors about this matter in the future, it must not be from the He family.

Because the He family has no ability to control the development of the situation, the regent is different.

So for the time being, the He family still wants to pretend to be quail honestly. The old lady and the sixth son agreed, and He Er would naturally not add to the chaos.

Steward Wang is very satisfied with He Er's attitude.

As soon as the order is over, Manager Wang took a sip of tea in a good mood and knew it, and the two talked about the coal supply in the future.

"Don't worry, Manager Wang. The coking coal comes from other coal mines. The supply is not a problem." He Er assured.

Steward Wang cleared his throat.

"I've tried both types of coal. The iron produced by coking coal is indeed more stable, but the price is a bit more expensive. I can't explain it to my superiors."

The process of coking coal is much more complicated than that of selected anthracite, so it is natural that it is more expensive, and even so, it is much cheaper than bamboo charcoal shipped from the south.

It stands to reason that Wang Guanshi should not lower the price, but Wang Guanshi was promoted by reducing costs before, and asked him to tell his superiors that the price was raised again. He felt that it was a shame, so he had to come to pressure the He family.

He Er was not a fool either. After arguing with reason, the two parties finally reached an agreement. Steward Wang exempted the He family from compensating for bad weapons, and the He family continued to supply coking coal to Steward Wang at the original price.

This quality accident ended successfully with mutual satisfaction and mutual compromise between the two parties.

When He Er was respectfully sent out of the iron kiln, He Er felt a lot of emotion, and the He family finally began to feel proud!

"It turns out that Xiaotuanzi is the son of the regent king." After hearing Guo Liulang's words, Bai Fu responded indifferently.

Guo Liulang frowned.

"Have you seen Xiao Shizi?"

"Yes." Bai Fu nodded, "He was guarding outside your grandmother's yard. When I came out, he asked me if I lived there."

Guo Liulang frowned.

"Are they still monitoring the He family?"

"Don't be nervous." Bai Fu knew that Guo Liulang was overwhelmed, and explained: "Since we want to cooperate for a long time, some things must be investigated. There is nothing that the He family cannot investigate, so let them go."

"What if they find you?" Guo Liulang looked at Bai Fu.

Bai Fu told him that the oil cannon is the weight that binds the He family and the regent, and the He family must come forward, and Bai Fu only wants to benefit and not be tied, so he can only be behind the scenes.

Bai Fu shook his wrist.

"Don't worry, no one has been monitoring me so far, which means that we have done a good job of keeping secrets, just don't say anything later."

Bai Fu came in and out in the name of distant relatives of the He family. In the next few days, she went out shopping and riding horses during the day, and secretly wrote materials in the house at night, and her life was quite comfortable.

She passed by the state government office that day, and saw a lot of carriages lined up in front of the office, they seemed to be waiting to enter the office, from time to time some people went in happily holding boxes, while others came out happily empty-handed.

I'm so happy that I definitely didn't come here for a lawsuit, but it's a gift. Is it so blatant?

Bai Fu stopped to watch the excitement.

The backyard of the government office.

An Zhizhou was one head and two big, but he didn't dare to get angry, and sat by the side and smirked at the people who came to give gifts.

The Coal Department was banned, Master Qian was taken away by the regent's people, and he was also scolded by the regent, who gave him a task after scolding.

what task?
Receive a gift!

It was rumored that the Prince Regent wanted to purge the rich and unkind people in Anzhou, so those rich and noble families who were worried about being implicated all came to him to inquire about the news.

What news can he have?
He even knew from the regent that the Coal Department was initiated by Master Qian!
But the regent gave him a chance to redeem himself for the sake of his ignorance.

It's just that this opportunity is not so easy to win. Maybe he didn't get killed by the regent, but he was given a copy by those people in the court who were waiting for him to abdicate to fill the vacancy!
The regent said that since these people have ghosts in their hearts, let them spend money to buy peace of mind. The more money they spend, the safer they will be.

In order to save his life, he released the news.

I don't know if I don't let it out, since there are so many rich people in Anzhou!

In the past, they all called him poor and miserable, but now they are both poor and miserable, and those treasures he gave him... He was so greedy and crying.

An Zhizhou took out a Jade Guanyin statue the size of a child's head from under a basket of local products.

"Does the mountain of the Du family still produce jade?" An Zhizhou asked curiously.

Master Du smiled sarcastically.

"How can it be, this is my ancestral treasure, and I sent it here for safety."

Send it here, not to An Zhizhou.

Although the regent did not show his face from the beginning to the end, the spirits have already seen that this is what An Zhizhou wants to honor the regent.

An Zhizhou hummed twice in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, "Okay, don't worry, I will intercede for you and say a good word to the regent."

Master Du thanked Dade for leaving.

Bai Fu counted.

As long as she saw that there were seven or eight gift givers, Bai Fu was not interested in what kind of treasure she gave, anyway, it had nothing to do with her, she was just curious why they were all carrying baskets.

"Young Master doesn't know something," a person familiar with the matter explained with a smile: "The regent likes to collect crops, and these are all filial to the regent."

What a strange fetish.

A dignified regent or a lover of pastoral life?
The insider didn't know, "I heard that those who gave rare crops to the Prince Regent last year made a lot of money. These people probably want to try their luck."

Bai Fu let out a sound.

Rare crops.

How about going to dedicate her Detian Pavilion next autumn?It's better than being conscripted by someone who doesn't know.
