There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 401 Too rich
In order to capture all the [-] Liao troops in one fell swoop, Su Xian and the others had great intentions and built more than [-] warehouses and courtyards that served as "temporary fortresses"!

And it is distributed in an oval shape, completely surrounding the small island in the middle of the Yongji Canal.

If the situation worsens and the [-] Liao troops cannot be brought down by drugging, and a violent conflict breaks out between the two sides, then these "temporary fortresses" will bring a huge surprise to the Liao troops!

The warehouse that Su Xian and his party entered this time was right next door to the warehouse just now, not far away.

Although the "temporary fortress" is densely packed, there are also thirty or forty sacks of divine thunder in this warehouse, piled randomly in the corner, making it look like this thing is not very important.

However, the Thousand-faced Fox who followed everyone in was once again taken aback and almost rushed to the corner where the divine thunder was piled up at all costs.

But in the end he held back.

There were thirty or forty bags of divine thunder in the warehouse just now, and he thought that was all Su Xian could find.

Even if there are only 34 bags, it is still a huge amount.

Because he once disguised himself and sneaked into Nanchen, it took him more than half a month to get just one divine thunder with the size of a fingernail.

But this Su Xian...

In the eyes of Thousand-faced Fox, Su Xian was really outrageous. Wasn't the thirty or forty bags of divine thunder just now not enough? There were another thirty or forty bags in this warehouse?

Shenlei, Nan Chen Liguo's artifact, when did it become so cheap?

Thousand-faced Fox Rao is the second chief of the Prison Division. He can overlook all the officials in the court, and he even dares to command Princess Lanling. But now, he is shocked.

He raised his eyes again and carefully looked at the young man dressed as a scholar with a fair face and no beard, his eyes were deep, and this time there was no trace of contempt in his eyes.

This is indeed a talent.

Now he believes that Su Xian was able to solve the case not because a blind cat ran into a dead mouse, but because he was really capable.

Thousand-faced Fox is always happy to make friends with such outstanding people.

However, this situation was not the time to make friends... He planned to get to know Su Xian again with his true face after today's matter was over.

Not long after, the group left the warehouse.

After walking for a while on the streets paved with bluestones, I turned around and entered the third warehouse.

What makes Thousand Faced Fox stunned and unbelievable is that there are more than twenty bags of divine thunder in this warehouse...

How many bags are left?

He was really curious.

So much so that the original plan of this trip, which was to find out from Su Xian how he discovered the breakthrough in the case, was temporarily forgotten by him.

So what is he doing?

He was silently counting the divine thunder he saw today, how many...bags there were!

Whenever he thinks of the unit quantifier "bag", Thousand-faced Fox can't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Others use the unit of "bag", but his unit is "fingernail"...

Finally, after Su Xian and his party walked around the small island in the middle of Yongji Canal, they personally inspected all the warehouses where the divine thunder was installed.

Thousand-faced Fox remembered very clearly that there were twelve warehouses in total, and each warehouse contained different sacks filled with divine thunder. There should be more than three hundred bags in total!

More than three hundred bags of divine thunder!

Simply too rich!
To be honest, Thousand Faced Fox really wanted to tear off Luo Gan's disguise immediately, show his true identity as the second arrester of the Prison Department, and then use the power of the Prison Department to ask for one or two bags... no, three or four bags of divine thunder.

At this time, about an hour had passed since everyone entered Ping'an City.

Su Xian did not stop. In addition to the divine thunder, the weapons they arranged included some trebuchets placed in the courtyard further away.

Now Su Xian led everyone to set off and walk to a nearby open-air courtyard.

Although Thousand-faced Fox followed the large army, he glanced at the sky and frowned slightly. After such a long time, the real Luo Gan was probably coming back.

He wanted to just leave.

I saw so many divine thunders today and got to know Su Xian again. It was a worthwhile trip.

However, leaving like this would mean that his original plan failed and he failed to get any useful information out of Su Xian.

If it were an ordinary person, it might not matter.

But the Thousand Faced Fox was very conflicted and unwilling to fail in its original mission.

He decided to give it one last try.

At this time, everyone entered a small courtyard with a courtyard layout, with rooms on all sides and a large open space in the middle.

This courtyard belongs to a residential building.

But to be precise, it was equivalent to an "apartment" in later generations, built in Ping'an City for leasing by merchants and business travelers from the Liao Kingdom.

Su Xian, backed by Princess Lanling, was very wealthy and bought this "apartment" directly. The purpose was to prevent anyone from discovering the long-range weapons placed in the courtyard as much as possible——

Trebuchet.

In order to transport this kind of weapon into Ping'an City and place it here, it took a lot of effort.

And we have to beware of the city ordinance of Ping An City.

Fortunately, both the Youzhou Prefectural Government and the Youzhou garrison were on Su Xian's side. They had huge backgrounds. Although completing such a task was cumbersome, it was completed quickly and well.

When Thousand Faced Fox saw this trebuchet, he couldn't help but be in a trance.

He thought to himself, how careful and cautious Su Xian was. Arranging so many divine thunders was not enough. Is it necessary to arrange another circle of trebuchets?
If Su Xian could hear his voice, he would definitely respond like this: "The lion fights the rabbit, and I will do my best!"

Moreover, the arrangements made by Su Xian and others go far beyond that...

After Su Xian personally inspected the trebuchet, he was free.

The Thousand-faced Fox was waiting for this opportunity, leaned slightly closer and said with a smile: "Sir, I have been thinking about one thing all the way, but I still can't figure it out."

"Oh? What's wrong with General Luo?"

"How did the young master come up with the idea of ​​using arithmetic to solve crimes? There seems to be no connection between arithmetic and solving crimes."

"This is..."

Although Su Xian vaguely felt something strange, Luo Gan talked a lot today, but he did not think deeply about it, paused briefly, and said with a smile:

"Everything starts with a bowl of milk tea."

"A bowl of milk tea??!" Thousand-faced Fox was puzzled.

"That's right, a bowl of milk tea!"

Su Xian smiled and then stopped.

Thousand-faced Fox wants to ask why?
But in the end did not speak.

He rolled his eyes and changed his strategy. Instead of asking directly, he praised Su Xian in a different way.

His idea was to use some nice words to inflate Su Xian's vanity, and then take the initiative to show off his glorious past. If he could use this to get Su Xian to reveal the secret of the breakthrough in the case, that would be perfect.

However, Thousand Faced Fox was disappointed again.

Su Xian accepted all his nice words, but he didn't take the initiative to show off. He remained humble and looked...elegant and personable!
