If there is something in this world that can deeply shock Qi Yu, it must be a thermal weapon, also commonly known as a gun.
But now Leng Qing was holding a handful in her hand.
Yes, guns show up.
Strictly speaking, this one should be called a matchlock gun.
Let’s listen to the introduction.
As the name suggests, a matchlock relies on burning match rope to ignite gunpowder and generate thrust to shoot projectiles. It can be regarded as a practical thermal weapon in the true sense.
In the history of war, it has a milestone significance. It can even be called an epoch-making product.
It’s just that people today don’t know enough about it, so they don’t have any fear.
Although Leng Qing traveled all over the country and gained extraordinary knowledge, she still failed to recognize what this thing was. As a last resort, she had to seek advice from Mr. Qi, who had more extensive knowledge.
She knew that he had previously developed a sharp weapon called the Wolf Fang, and from this perspective, he could be regarded as someone who was proficient in strange and obscene techniques.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yu froze there with a look of shock on his face, as if he was very nervous, and his eyes were so wide that they were about to fall off.
…
After a while, Qi Yu finally calmed down and asked her again: "Let me tell you, where did you get such a thing?"
Leng Qing didn't hide anything, and replied calmly: "I got it from Xiao Yunyan."
"From him?"
"That's right. Do you remember that when you hit him this morning, he tried to take out the weapon to fight you, but I slapped him away. And the moment I slapped him, he took the opportunity to snatch it away. I placed this thing, but my technique was too fast and you didn’t notice it.”
Waterfall sweat!
Mother, Xipi, I didn’t expect that guy Xiao Yunyan to still want to kill me. Fortunately, Leng Qing struck first, otherwise he might have suffered a big loss.
Lucky, lucky!
Mr. Qi, who was "surviving the disaster", rarely showed gratitude to her. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for saving my life."
Leng Qing hummed indifferently and asked, "Have you answered me yet, what is this?"
Anyway, let me talk to you.
For the sake of saving his life, Qi Yu gave a very sincere answer this time: "This thing is called a matchlock gun. It is very harmful. It can kill people in the blink of an eye. It is the most powerful weapon in the world today." Sharp weapon!"
"What? You said it's called a gun?" Leng Qing looked unbelieving and sneered at him: "A gun is a combination of a sharp blade and a stick. It can be stabbed or picked when killing the enemy. Its appearance is similar to a spear. Look at this again. This thing is no more than a foot long, how can it be called a gun?"
this……
Alas, it’s true that a scholar meets a soldier, and it’s hard to explain why.
Ignorance is terrible!
Qi Yu had no choice but to be patient and explain the principles of this kind of musket to her.
He repeatedly emphasized that the lethality of this thing is huge and cannot be resisted by human beings.
Leng Qing was dubious, but seeing that his face was serious and not exaggerating, she finally reluctantly believed him.
"Again, if you encounter this thing, you must dodge immediately and don't compete with it. Otherwise, you will die. There is no doubt about it." Qi Yu warned again and again, and then said: " This matter is very closely related, and Xiao Yunyan must be scrutinized immediately to find out the ins and outs of the matter."
After saying that, he immediately stood up and prepared to interrogate Xiao Yunyan.
Leng Qing stretched out her hand to stop him and said: "I won't bother you with such a small matter, just leave it to me." Seeing his confusion, she explained: "In the hands of our inner guards, there is no iron that cannot be pried open." Brass teeth, haha, it’s a piece of cake.”
Qi Yu shuddered when he heard this, and the look in his eyes became a little more complicated.
However, if you think about it, as the emperor's eagle dog, how could the inner guard lack the means?
She wanted to go to trial in person, which was the best thing to do.
If you use lynching to torture officials, you will inevitably be impeached, but the internal guards are different. You know, they are acting on behalf of the emperor. Even if they kill people, no one dares to delve into the inside story.
In view of this, Mr. Qi accepted her suggestion obediently and thanked him: "Then there is little sister Lao Leng."
"Little sister? Humph, say it again." Leng Qing raised her eyebrows and said with a fierce look on her face.
"Ahem! Go about your business. I'm waiting for news from you here."
"Huh!" Leng Qing glanced at him sideways and flew away with the gun in hand.
After she left, Qi Yu fell into deep thought with a serious look on his face, and the fatigue on his body quickly dissipated along with the tension in his heart, and he no longer felt tired.
This is a big deal.
You must know that guns are super weapons that can change a country's military strength. This is more important than war horses and other armaments.
It was necessary to find out where the gun came from and who made it.
Even if you take a step back, if such a dangerous thing appears on your own territory, you won't even dare to close your eyes while sleeping.
Alas, one wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.
After the tea time, Leng Qing called back and forth.
Got it done so quickly?
Qi Yu secretly praised her efficiency and cast a questioning look at her.
Leng Qing didn't take it lightly and replied directly: "Well, Xiao Yunyan did it. This thing was obtained in his hometown of Fengang, Dongguan County, in a place called Tuen Mun."
Fenport? Tuen Mun?
It’s not that far from here!
Qi Yu nodded and said, "You continue."
"According to him, he paid ten stones of grain for this musket from a merchant from the Franco Kingdom."
"People from the Franji country, why did they suddenly come to Fenport?" Qi Yu thought for a while and then asked in confusion: "Why didn't Xiao Yunyan buy it with money, but had to exchange it with grain?"
"According to Xiao Yunyan, the businessman from Franji Country didn't want money, but only took grain. It was for this reason that he searched for grain arbitrarily in Qiongzhou, and planned to find the merchant to exchange for some later."
Gee, this foreign businessman is really strange, he doesn’t want any money.
A bit incomprehensible.
Qi Yu pulled back his thoughts and said solemnly: "This Xiao Yunyan is a serious offender. I must submit a letter to Governor Lu and let him handle it."
Leng Qing said: "No need, I want to take this person back to the capital and leave it to His Majesty to deal with him personally."
"Why...why?"
Although this case is serious, it will not alarm the emperor.
A bit of a fuss, right?
Leng Qing thought for a while and simply explained: "Xiao Yunyan is somewhat related to my mission for this trip, so there is no need to transfer it to the provincial government. I can just make the decision."
What task?
Oh...I remembered it, it was about King Yong.
Qi Yu understood in his heart, but he asked tentatively: "I said, when are you going to return to Beijing?"
"Don't worry, I will stay for a while until the truth about my mission comes to light." After saying that, Leng Qing added: "This Xiao Yunyan will be temporarily locked up in your Qiongzhou Prison until I finish investigating the case. After that, come over and pick him up.”
"Okay!" Qi Yu responded.
"Without further ado, I'm going!"
"Wait!"
"Do you have anything else?" Leng Qing turned around and asked after taking two steps.
"Yes!" Qi Yu said with a solemn expression, "I have something to ask of you."
"explain!"
"While you are going to investigate the case, can you help me find out the details of the Franchi businessman?"
"Yeah... sure!" After Leng Qing agreed, she threw the musket in her hand and said, "Although this thing is powerful, I don't know how to use it. Why don't I leave it to you for self-defense."
"Thank you!"
Qi Yu was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, his mouth watering with joy.
