Smart people sometimes get into trouble easily, but once you explain it to them, they can figure it out quickly.
Under Tang Ping's guidance, Li Tai finally nodded: "I understand, cousin."
"It's good that you understand!" Tang Ping patted him on the shoulder: "When you understand, get up and eat. I used to be the same as you, but after experiencing the battle in Baozicheng, I really understood that besides life and death, There is no real truth in the matter.”
"Whatever you do in the future, the first thing you must ensure is the safety of yourself and the people around you." Tang Ping was also afraid that he would do it again in the future. After all, what Li Tai handled could be said to be the most dangerous thing in this era. If nothing else, then The gunpowder depot secretly placed outside Chang'an City required him to pay more attention to it.
He didn't want unsolved mysteries like the "Chang'an Explosion" to be recorded in the history books of future generations.
"Like this time you used zha in the mine. If you had used the right amount of the drug and placed the detonation outside the mine, how could there have been such serious consequences?"
"I...I placed the detonator outside the mine, but I don't know what went wrong. It exploded before we even got out." Li Tai murmured.
"You mean, your detonating device was placed outside the mine?" Tang Ping frowned. At this time, Li Tai would definitely not lie, and this kind of thing could be found out with a single investigation.
After confirming again and again, Tang Ping felt a little doubtful. If it was true as Li Tai said, the possibility of the explosives suddenly exploding was slim to none, but it happened again.
There is no way of knowing whether there is someone here who has no God's perspective. Moreover, over the past few days, the mine has experienced explosions, excavations, and a large number of people coming in and out. Even if there are any traces left, I'm afraid there will be no traces. Leftover.
"What's wrong? Cousin?" Li Tai had a high IQ, but he didn't think about anything else. He just thought it was an accident.
But Tang Ping experienced more, and he began to feel a hint of conspiracy.
Li Tai's role in Datang is self-evident. In this mine, there are many guards around him at all times, but the personnel in the mining area are complicated.
Miners who mine, people who transport ore, people who deliver supplies, all kinds of people come and go here. It is definitely unrealistic to screen everyone with just the few guards he brings.
So now Tang Ping cannot rule out whether there is someone behind the scenes. After all, there will be so many 1450s lurking everywhere in the future generations of peace, not to mention the current Tang Dynasty.
It's just that even he can't find much at this time, so he can only hand over this suspicion to the Secret Intelligence Department and let them pursue it.
"It's nothing. I was thinking about getting something delicious on the way. You don't know. In order to save you this time, almost half of the people in Daye County came. We have to treat them to a good meal no matter what. It’s food.”
"Hey..." Li Tai sighed: "It was me who was buried this time. If I wasn't among them, then the miners who were sold might not have such good luck, right?"
Although this sounded unpleasant, Tang Ping couldn't refute it. Think about it, if Li Tai hadn't been there, would he have driven for more than ten or twenty hours overnight to save people?
There's a high probability that it won't happen. Of course, the people underground don't have Li Tai's phone and watch. In fact, it might not be of any use if he comes.
Therefore, even Tang Ping felt a little helpless about these things. He could only comfort him and said: "So whether it was in the workshop or you came out to prospect, I have said that safety comes first. After we return, we can write to your Majesty to set up a special The safety inspection department conducts random inspections of workshops and mining areas in various places from time to time."
"In the future, if we form a top-to-bottom safety awareness, we should be able to reduce the occurrence of similar incidents."
Li Tai's foot injury was not too serious, but the left foot was still unable to stand and walk. Tang Ping asked someone to make him a pair of crutches and asked the guards to support him.
The little fat guy jumping up and down is quite funny, especially when he jumps, the flesh on his belly and chin shakes.
Tang Ping thought that letting him jump more would be considered as losing weight.
Tang Ping bought a large amount of food from the state capital and set up flowing water mats outside the long street of the county government office.
Those nearby who had tables and chairs brought them over to put them together, and then distributed the food. The whole county, young and old, had a wonderful meal together.
Li Tai also sincerely thanked the people here.
Several people rested here for a few more days. After all the rescued people were in stable condition, Tang Ping took Li Tai and started to return to Chang'an.
"Ping Guo Gong, in this explosion in the mining area, two people are missing."
On the way back, Xiang Long said to Tang Ping: "This was not investigated until yesterday by the Secret Intelligence Department."
"Two people?"
"Yes, they are a couple, in their thirties. The man who came to Daye two years ago is responsible for cooking in the mining area. The man is called Wang Laoshi. It is said that he is usually taciturn and seldom speaks. But His wife, Ms. Liu, is a loudspeaker and is quite pretty in the mining area. She likes to inquire about everything, because most of the people in the mining area are young and strong men, so everyone is willing to talk to her."
"After the explosion, because it was too chaotic, no one paid attention. It took two or three days to discover that the two of them were missing. With their jobs, it was impossible for them to enter the mine. In addition, all the people in the mine were already there. It’s been cleared out, so the two people definitely didn’t die in the mine.”
"So this incident was probably caused by these two people?"
"There is no definite evidence yet, but the disappearance of the two people is too strange. The Secret Intelligence Department found the two people's homes. It is obvious that they did not disappear suddenly. Judging from Cheng She and others at home, I am afraid that the two people have been there for a long time. I feel like leaving."
"I know, let's ask the Secret Intelligence Department to investigate further and see if they have been close to anyone in Daye in the past two years. We must also investigate everything that happened when they came to Daye two years ago!"
Tang Ping was also helpless. There were too many hidden arrows hiding in the dark. For example, the family that created rumors and slandered him in Chang'an City fell silent. Normally, he kept to himself and rarely did anything. There hasn't been any new action in such a long time.
The Tang Dynasty now poses too great a threat to the surrounding areas. On the surface, these countries are afraid of the Tang Dynasty like tigers, but in the dark corners, there are many rats active, ready to pounce and take a bite at any time.
Tang Ping could only cope with the changes by remaining unchanged.
There was no rush when we went back. In addition, there were Li Tai and several other wounded people on the steam locomotive coming behind Xuan Jiaqi. It took almost four days to get back to Chang'an.
"Oh, my Tangtang, do you miss daddy?"
When Tang Ping got home, he went directly to his daughter's room.
The convenience store, which had been quiet for a while, became lively again.
In the haze outside, meeting a little angel like Tang Tang seemed to be swept away.
Tang Ping hugged his daughter and let her little hands slap on his face. Even Wang Qingluan was a little bit annoyed, and said sourly: "When you come back, you only have Tangtang in your eyes, right?"
"How can that be possible?" Tang Ping carefully put Tang Tang back on the crib, touched her little fleshy feet again, and then said with satisfaction: "Isn't Tang Tang easier to coax?"
"Are you saying that I'm not easy to coax? Are you being unreasonable?"
"Of course not!" Tang Ping still had the desire to survive and took out a stone from his pocket: "Look, what is this?"
Wang Qingluan took it and took a look and said in surprise: "This pattern looks like my Qingluan ring. Where did you find it?"
"When we were rescuing that fat man Li Tai, we had to transport earth and rock fragments out of the mine. When I saw it, I also found that it looked very similar to the pattern of the Qingluan Ring, so I kept it."
Wang Qingluan came over and gave Tang Ping a kiss. He didn't dislike the gift at all because it was a gift. Instead, he felt that Tang Ping would always think of him and be happy.
I played with it in my hand, wiped it with a silk handkerchief, and then put it in an aquarium.
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
"Well, of course it looks good!" Tang Ping leaned over and whispered in Wang Qingluan's ear: "Have you missed me these past few days? Look, I have brought gifts back. Is there any reward? Huh?" "
Wang Qingluan's face turned red and she patted him: "The child is still here!"
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Tang Ping stretched himself comfortably and walked downstairs.
"Sir, there is something going on in that family." Lu Yi saw Tang Ping and came up to report it immediately.
"Oh?" Tang Ping raised his eyebrows. When he came back, he was still thinking that this family was always motionless and he didn't even know who was behind the scenes.
It's not that they are afraid of taking action, but that they will stay dormant like this forever.
"What did they do?"
"Just after you left, they suddenly bought a lot of things. The other things were normal, but there was a lot of saltpeter in them."
"Saltpeter?" Tang Ping thought for a moment. Saltpeter is one of the raw materials of gunpowder, but the formula of gunpowder should not be leaked.
After all, every time Li Tai prepared gunpowder, there were more than just saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal.
There are dozens of various materials pulled to his preparation point. They will be ground into powder after arriving there, and Li Tai is the only one who does the final mixing.
At best, outsiders know that there is saltpeter among these dozens of materials, but they cannot be sure that this is one of the components of gunpowder, let alone know the proportions.
And if it's not about preparing gunpowder, then it's about making ice from saltpeter. Tang Ping has long spread the idea of using saltpeter to make ice.
But it's winter now, it's snowing outside, and the river outside Chang'an City is frozen. If you want ice, why do you need to buy so much saltpeter to prepare it?
So it is indeed a bit strange to buy so much saltpeter.
"Have you found out where it was purchased? Where is the person who contacted them?"
"We have already sent people to follow us. Once there is any new discovery, they will report it."
"Well!" Tang Ping looked at the gloomy sky. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, can't we just take a break?
