Beloved Concubine

Chapter 117
In the afternoon, people from Jingzhou Mansion finally came.It was Mr. Qian, the governor of the state government, who came.

As soon as he came, he first went to see Taisun and King De.The report said that when Governor Zhou received the news for the first time, he went to the capital in person. He did not expect that as soon as he left, there would be a massacre here.

Mr. Qian said that he went to Donghe County to inspect the water conservancy two days ago, and he returned to the state capital last night.He came over immediately after receiving the news from Nanzhong County.

Tongpan is the adjutant of the magistrate, in charge of food affairs, water conservancy, farming and litigation, and has the responsibility of supervising officials.

Taisun listened quietly and said "Thanks for your hard work".

Master Qian asked concerned: "Who is in charge of treating His Royal Highness?"

Fang Yu said, "It's me."

Master Qian took a look and asked County Captain Feng, "Why didn't you ask Dr. Liang?"

Feng Xianwei said: "Dr. Liang was invited before. Yesterday, three of Dr. Liang's disciples died tragically. He was overly sad and is currently taking care of the funeral at home."

Mr. Qian showed sympathy, nodded, and asked, "Who is Fang Yu?"

"It's me." Fang Yu said again.

In the letter reported by the two adults of the county government to the state government, it was said that what happened yesterday was all due to Fang Yuyi's manpower to turn the tide.

Lord Qian looked at Fang Yu in surprise, he was the doctor and the warrior!

Feng Xianwei said: "Before Nanzhong was plagued by wolves, he was the one who taught the officials how to make firecrackers."

Mr. Qian thought about it for a while, and remembered that Captain Feng reported that the wolf problem had been eliminated, and how he used firecrackers to drive the wolf away.At that time, he felt that firecrackers could be used as a weapon, so he asked him to describe in detail the method of making firecrackers.Feng Xianwei is expected to be promoted, relying on the method of making firecrackers.

"Are you from Xiling?" Lord Qian asked Fang Yu.

"Yes."

"What are firecrackers usually used for in Xiling?"

"Firecrackers were only made by accident when I was making medicine." Fang Yu replied.Xiling has no firecrackers at all.

Mr. Qian was curious: "What kind of medicine can be made to make this kind of thing?" Firecrackers can explode and hurt people.

"Some medicinal materials need to be processed by fire." Fang Yu was vague.

Mr. Qian doesn't understand medicine, but he has heard of the "fire method". Stir-frying, simmering, calcining, and cannon are all fire methods.

It doesn't really matter how it is configured, Mr. Qian just thinks that firecrackers are products of Xiling.He could think that firecrackers could be used as weapons, perhaps they were used as weapons in Xiling family.But after today's understanding, I realized that Xiling didn't have such a thing either.

De Wang was confused and asked, "What are firecrackers?"

Master Qian prevaricated: "A kind of bamboo that can explode."

Bursting bamboo?King De scratched his head.How does this relate to pharmaceuticals?
Mr. Qian realized that it was best not to set firecrackers under the two highnesses, as this was his opportunity to make meritorious service and be promoted.He has reported the method of making firecrackers to the court, and the court is studying how to increase the power of firecrackers.Once the research is successful, it will greatly increase the strength of the South Vietnamese army.

From the beginning of this matter, he never thought of bringing in the author of the firecrackers to study together, because then he would not have "contributions", but "recommendations".Fortunately, the "original author of firecrackers" did not realize how beneficial it would be to contribute this technology to the imperial court.Mr. Qian thought carefully and was lucky.

In fact, how could Fang Yu not understand what "dynamite" can do.At first it was just to drive away wolves, so he just taught Feng Xianwei to make firecrackers, which is still far from bombs in the true sense.

Lord Qian met Taisun and Queen De, and then went to meet Yang Yan.

Say goodbye, because Yang Yan is a fourth-rank official, which is higher than the sixth-rank "Tong San" official rank.

Yang Yan is the general of Yiwei Zhonglang in the Prince's Mansion.Yiwei belongs to the imperial army, and Zhonglang will be the fourth rank.Fang Yu knew Yang Yan was someone when he heard Yang Yan self-reported his family name.It's just that this man is a bit miserable. He was seriously injured when he saw him, and now he is even more seriously injured.Doctor Liang left yesterday, Fang Yu took the initiative to treat Yang Yan, he was not purely kind.

To be able to reach the fourth rank in the Forbidden Army, either he is particularly capable or has a family background.The latter is more likely.Because the military attache of the Imperial Army, more importantly, is loyal and loyal to the emperor.Demonstrating loyalty is not simply based on performance, there are many intricacies behind the family background.

You must know that the "Grand Commander of the Forbidden Army" is the second rank, and there are several "guards" under the Forbidden Army, and each guard is in command of the third rank.Yang Yan's level is no longer low.

After watching Yang Yan, Mr. Qian went to see the princess.

The siege yesterday was caused by Princess Leping. She is undoubtedly a sinner, but she has not been convicted yet.For the prince and princess, no matter what she did, as long as her identity is still there, you cannot despise her.Otherwise, it is not she who you despise, but the royal family.This is the imperial power supremacy society.Of course, what to say behind the scenes is another matter.

Lord Qian met outside the door, and the princess roared in the room: "Fang dog dares to hurt me, send him to the state capital, let Zhou Sheng execute him!" Zhou Sheng is the prefect of Jingzhou.

Lord Qian's visit to the princess was just to complete the etiquette, he pretended not to hear, bowed and said: "His Royal Highness rest well, I will retire."

Facing the hysteria of the princess, Mr. Qian didn't want to stay at the door any longer and left the independent courtyard.

Master Qian asked: "Who is serving in the courtyard?"

Su Xiancheng replied: "There are postmen in the hall, and there are maids transferred from the lower official's house."

"Didn't the princess and princess bring a maid?"

"Did not bring."

Mr. Qian said: "Arrange someone to take care of your highnesses." During the meeting just now, he found that none of your highnesses seemed to have someone to take care of them, which was a serious neglect.

Then he said: "This is a public matter, you can't let you take it personally. In the name of the yamen, find a few careful servants to serve. Especially for the princess and princess, find a few women."

"Yes." Su Xiancheng responded.In fact, the county government could do this from the very beginning, but Su Xiancheng wanted to show off and called his servants.

Mr. Qian said: "Take me to look outside the city." He was referring to the remains parked outside the city.

"Yes."

Su Xiancheng and Feng Xianwei accompanied him to the outside of the city.Watching the carriage leave, Fang Yu returned to the official post.

Fang Yu observed carefully just now, but he didn't find any clues about Mr. Qian.It seems that he really just came to visit Taisun.But why come now?

He explained that he went to Donghe County to inspect the water conservancy two days ago; Zhou Zhifu went to the capital when he first received the news.His own reasons made sense, but it was a bit strange for Zhou Zhifu to go to the capital.According to common sense, shouldn't Zhou Zhifu come to visit the grandson first, and then go to the capital?Although there was a detour from the state capital to Nanzhong County and then to the capital, it was only seventy or eighty miles longer.

Besides, if it's just about the assassination of the grandson, is it necessary for Zhou Zhifu to go to the capital himself?As long as the letter is reported.Unless, he went to the capital for other important things.

Fang Yu returned to the small courtyard while thinking, only to find that Chen Xiao was not in the room.He looked around and heard Chen Xiao's voice from the kitchen.
