Chapter 1474 Chen Pingping, don’t give face!
Seeing how scared they were, Li Chengru couldn't help but smile. Then, as if he suddenly discovered something, his face turned gloomy in an instant.

With a wave of his hand, a stream of true energy rushed directly upstairs, and the next moment, screams resounded throughout the Baoyue Tower.

"Bang!" A man in brocade clothes fell down from the upstairs. Fortunately, there was a table below that blocked him, otherwise he would have died on the spot. He was still seriously injured.

This kid was being clever. In order to escape without making any noise, he took off his boots. He thought no one would notice him and wanted to sneak out through the back door.

Because his father was a doctor in the Ministry of Works, he happened to know the pile of black things in the middle of the yard.

Damn, this is fire...gunpowder. With this amount plus so many jars of white wine, it is enough to blow everyone to the sky. By then, there won't be even a trace left!

Some of the playboys who came to Baoyue Tower to play felt a little uncomfortable when they saw their friends end up like this.

One of them, who had a good relationship with him, complained angrily.

"Has Old Zhao gone mad? Why are you so quiet now? Why are you showing off under the eyes of the Crown Prince?"

"Yeah, that's too abnormal!"

"You are just asking for trouble~"

"I don't understand. Who knows what Old Zhao is thinking? He was hit hard just now. It seems that the eldest prince is really angry. If it weren't for the table blocking it, this day next year would probably be Old Zhao's memorial day!"

Li Chengru signaled his subordinates to drag him away, then walked to the middle of the yard with his hands behind his back, casually looking around the buildings upstairs and downstairs.

"Listen up everyone, don't give me those crooked ideas, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. If you want to run away after watching the fun, there is no such thing as a cheap thing in this world!"

"If you want to blame someone, blame your curiosity. You had to stay here and watch the fun when you could have run away. Now I have to inconvenience you for a while~"

"You may not recognize this thing, but I will tell you clearly now that this thing is called gunpowder, a banned substance that our Qing country has always strictly controlled. This, plus the good wine I prepared, should be able to blow this place to ashes!"

"Om~"

Now, everyone was there, except Li Chengru and his guards, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince who already knew this thing, and of course Fan Xian, and the rest of the people were almost all stunned.

Almost all of the subordinates brought by the second prince were killed, leaving only seven or eight people. As death warriors trained since childhood, they had already put life and death aside. When they heard about gunpowder and the like, their emotions fluctuated slightly, but they quickly calmed down.

But the situation is different on the prince's side. Those who can serve as armed yamen runners in Kyoto Prefecture, although their families may not be rich, they must be from a well-off family, or their relatives have some power.

So when they heard that they were in danger, hundreds of people were instantly panicked.

One of them raised his arm and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and fight!"

"You..." Seeing this, the prince's face changed instantly, but it was too late to stop it.

"Your Highness~" Niu Dali held the ghost-head knife tightly and looked at Li Chengru.

"Let them go!"

"Follow me~"

If these hundreds of elite soldiers armed with bows and crossbows were forced to stay, there would be uncertainty. As long as the crown prince and the second prince, plus this group of powerful children, were there, the rest would not matter.

The few people who were chatting upstairs just now finally understood why their friend wanted to run away. Now they were in no mood to scold him for being disloyal, because one by one they all collapsed to the ground with weak legs.

"This... Is this eldest prince crazy? What on earth does this devil want to do?"

When the situation gets desperate, some people will lose their minds. One of them, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, reached out and slapped his friend next to him.

"Clap~"

The slightly plump man couldn't stand it anymore, so he raised his hand and punched back, cursing angrily.

"Fuck you, Li Zilong, why the hell did you hit me?"

"I was hitting you. I said we should go to Heaven on Earth. If you hadn't insisted on going to Baoyue Tower, would this have happened?"

"Oh!"

"Clap~"

The two men started fighting each other, and the other people who were with them had no interest in stopping them.

But someone with sharp eyes noticed what was happening downstairs and quickly stopped the two of them.

"Stop fighting, it seems like someone can leave Baoyue Tower!"

"Is this true?" He looked downstairs and found that the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture had retreated one after another. In an instant, they all looked happy, as if the tension just now had never existed.

"Can we go too?"

"It should be possible~"

"Go and ask Qian Mu!"

"I...I don't dare~"

Among the few people, Qian Mu had the lowest status. His father was just a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Rites, but he was afraid of death and did not dare to agree at this time.

"Pa~" Li Zilong, who had a bad temper, slapped him immediately. His father was the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, so naturally he was not afraid of a mere doctor.

"Are you going or not?"

"That's right. We let you go because we think highly of you. Hurry up and don't force us to do it!"

Qian Mu, who had a simple and honest face, instantly realized the evil nature of human hearts. His fat body was in resistance, so he simply squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

I said, "You can do whatever you want, but I'm not going!"

"I'm going to beat you to death..." Li Zilong rushed over and started punching and kicking him.

But he was stopped by someone.

"Okay, useless thing, I'll go~"

This man is the second son of Marquis Gu'an, and he thinks he has some status.

Li Chengru had just dealt with the armed runners from Kyoto Prefecture and learned about what happened upstairs. Looking at the young marquis who was pretending to be calm in front of him, he had a friendly expression but said the most cruel words.

"No, I'll forget about it if you don't come down!"

"Niu Dali!"

"exist!"

"Send someone up there right away to get all the people upstairs down. Remember not to let anyone go. Anyone who resists will be killed!"

"Your Highness, my father is..." The young marquis became anxious upon seeing this.

"Bang~" Li Chengru kicked the man down and stared at him expressionlessly: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Don't even mention that your father is the Marquis of Gu'an. Even if he is the King of Gu'an, it's useless now. If you keep talking to me about these useless things, believe it or not, I will send you to see the King of Hell first!"

The place where the young marquis was kicked down was very interesting. Next to him was a pile of gunpowder. Even the most dissolute playboy had heard of this thing before because of their family ties.

Now the deadly thing is right next to him. The confidence he had upstairs just now is nowhere to be found. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground, not daring to say a word!
This is the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey. With the young marquis as a vivid example, the dandies and dignitaries who came upstairs to have fun also cooperated very well.

Of course, there were a few who got really angry, but after being beaten up by the guards, they finally became obedient...

"What's the situation now?" Chen Pingping, who had already arrived at Baoyue Tower, did not go in immediately.

At this time, the periphery had been taken over by the Inspection Institute, and Murong Yan, the head of the Second Department, was making a report.

"Dean, His Majesty just released a group of yamen runners. After their brief description, they have confirmed that there is a large amount of gunpowder in the yard!"

"Well, send someone in and tell them that I, Chen Pingping, am here to see His Highness!"

"Follow me~"

"Chen Pingping?" Li Chengru was not surprised when he heard the news.

"Tell Dean Chen that I have some things to do. I will personally host a banquet for you after I finish them. I won't meet him this time!"

"Gudong~" Dozens of children of powerful nobles gathered in the yard were so frightened by these words that they could only swallow their saliva. Even the crown prince and the second prince found it unbelievable!

That’s Chen Pingping, the King of the Dark Night!

Your Highness doesn't even give this person face?
