Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 107 Gunpowder
Lin Yanyan immediately changed the subject and asked about Wei Yuewan.

"Third Aunt, is Wei Yuewan coming to our house to stay for a short time or..."

Zhou said: "Your grandmother didn't say whether Wei Yuewan came to stay here for a long time or a short stay, but recently your second uncle has dinner at the Charity Hall after leaving the Yamen. Your third uncle and I speculate that the old lady deliberately asked your second uncle to accept Wei Yuewan as a favor. concubine."

"Wei Yuewan looks at Wenwen Jingjing, she looks quite pretty, but she seems to be 22, why hasn't she got married yet?"

"Your grandmother said that Wei Yuewan delayed her marriage because she kept filial piety for her grandfather and grandmother successively. Her elder brother is 24 and hasn't been able to marry yet!"

Lin Yanyan understood that the filial piety system is like this, if the elders in the family are unlucky and pass away one after another, not only will it delay the important events of life, but also delay the future. This is nothing to do.

"Don't look at Wei Yuewan's gentleness and soft-spokenness. I heard that she may have done it and started running the house at the age of 14." Zhou said: "I think your grandmother asked her not just to replace your second aunt. , and want to replace me, but I don’t care, I didn’t envy the head of the house before, and I know the difficulty of being the head of the house, I have a lot of troubles, I can’t wait to hand over this hot potato as soon as possible, and end up at ease.”

Lin Yanyan laughed: "Third Aunt is indifferent to fame and wealth!"

"It's just a false name, how can it be beneficial? Lidu was taken away by your second aunt, leaving a mess." Zhou said angrily.

Lin Yanyan said heartily: But with you in front of this family, I don't have any worries.Forget it, if Wei Yuewan is a good person, she doesn't care who is in charge, but if her intentions are not right, then she will not agree.

Lin Yanyan left four silk flowers for Youyou, and Jin Xin took the remaining two back.

"Miss, isn't this for Miss Fourth?" Jin Xin asked.

"It's for her, but she has to pick it up by herself. After dinner, you invite her to Moyuan Pavilion, and just say that I have a gift for her."

Only by letting Lin Pengpeng enter Moyuan Pavilion can her play begin.

At this time, Xiao Qian and Lu Zhaonan brought enough people and came to Changning Street on the grounds that the imperial driver would pass by this place tomorrow and had to check for hidden dangers again.

The two men divided into two groups, Xiao Qian started to investigate from the east end of the street, and Lu Zhaonan started to investigate from the west end of the street.

In the past, they just dealt with it casually. When they found the spice shop, Lu Zhaonan dug out the shop's registration booklet in Shuntian Mansion, and asked the shopkeeper, "What's your name?"

The shopkeeper stared at the booklet in Lu Zhaonan's hand, his palms were sweating, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Master, didn't you check it a few days ago?"

"If you have checked it, you can't check it again? The royal driver will come in person tomorrow, and there is no room for any mistakes. Answer whatever you ask, what's your name." Lu Zhaonan said with a serious face.

"My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Qi."

"When was your shop registered?"

The shopkeeper scratched his head in embarrassment: "The little one forgot the exact date, anyway, it has been open for many years."

"How many years has it been open?"

"Seven years... or eight years?"

Lu Zhaonan snorted coldly: "I don't remember how many years my shop has been open, take it away."

"My lord, the little one just has a bad memory, the little one is a good citizen, he didn't do anything wrong!" the shopkeeper was shocked.

"A bad memory is a mistake, take it away."

Immediately, Lu Zhaonan went into the opposite shop that was being renovated, and directly took away several craftsmen who were working.

The blind man who set up a fortune-telling stall near the spice shop wanted to run away when he saw that something was going wrong. Guan Sheng had already set his sights on him and pinned him down. Who would have thought that the blind man was a master of martial arts. One wrong step tripped Guan Sheng. Sheng, twisted his backhand, fell back, and took the opportunity to run.

Seeing this, all the arresters swarmed up, no matter how good the blind man's martial arts were, he couldn't stop the opponent's crowd, and he was quickly controlled.

Lu Zhaonan gave his subordinates a wink, and several arresters rushed into the two shops, and then the doors were closed and a seal was pasted outside.

The onlookers on the street only saw that these few people were arrested and the shop was closed, and they didn't even notice that there were still policemen left in the shop.

Xiao Qian's side was also going well. In order not to startle the snake, he and Lu Zhaonan set up a suspicious battle, arrested many irrelevant people, and closed more than a dozen shops.

After leaving Changning Street, the two changed into official uniforms, turned back, and quietly entered the shop through the back door.

"My lord, several barrels of kerosene were found in the shop, and there is a secret passage here." Guan Sheng and his brothers found the secret passage under the table in the spice shop.

Xiao Qian went down the secret way himself, and came up after a while, his face pale.

"How about it?"

"Sure enough, they dug a secret passage here and buried the gunpowder underneath."

Lu Zhaonan was also terrified, if they didn't discover the secret way, there would be a big mess tomorrow: "These thieves are very cunning, but how do you know that there is something wrong with these shops."

When Xiao Qian went back to the Yamen, he immediately retrieved the register of shops on this street from the official's office, and then summoned people to order him to do things like this. He thought that Xiao Qian had just discovered Beidi's secret work, but he didn't expect to find the place where the gunpowder was buried. .

Xiao Qian's expression was complicated: "Yan Yan discovered it."

This woman is so powerful, just passing by here on crutches, she uses her sense of smell and hearing, as well as subtle observation and super judgment to find out the problem.

But he also knew that things were not as easy as they seemed. Lin Yanyan spent so much energy in finding these two places where the gunpowder was buried, that she couldn't even stand firmly in the end.

Lu Zhaonan stared blankly, why is it Lin Yanyan again?Can this woman not be so godlike?
"She came back from Yangzhou?"

Xiao Qian said: "You will know tomorrow."

"what do you know?"

Xiao Qian hooked the corner of his mouth: "I know where she has been these days."

Lu Zhaonan was sour: "I think there are many secrets between you and Lin Yanyan."

Xiao Qian had nothing to say to him before.

Xiao Qian just pretended not to hear the sourness in Lu Zhaonan's words, and told Guan Sheng: "Move all the gunpowder out, move it to the backyard first, be careful."

Then he patted Lu Zhaonan on the shoulder: "You go back to the Yamen to interrogate the suspect immediately."

"how about you?"

"I have to go to the palace right away." Xiao Qian felt that there was such a commotion on Changning Street, the people behind this conspiracy would definitely send someone to check whether the gunpowder buried in the ground had been found, and he would send someone to set up an ambush here , sit back and wait, but he doesn't have enough people, so he has to ask his father to borrow troops.

Lin Yanyan wasn't worried about whether Xiao Qian's affairs would be smooth at all, she believed that Xiao Qian would be able to handle it well.

She cooked a few dishes herself, and waited for Jing Yuan to come back for dinner.

But when it was time for dinner, only Yu An came back and said that young master had entered class A, and the students in class A insisted that young master treat him, and young master couldn't refuse, so he was dragged to Changyiju.

Lin Yanyan asked: "How much silver do you have with you?"

"It's just a hundred taels of silver, and there are some pieces of silver."

Lin Yanyan asked Jinxin to get another 200 taels of silver note to Yu An: "You send it to the young master. Since you want to treat guests, you can let go and invite you. Don't save money. But you also tell the young master that in the future, if you want to treat guests, only invite him to invite you." of."

It doesn't matter if you get ripped off once in a while, but you can't really take Jing Yuan as a fool.
