"I don't know if anyone from the Feng family can be found."
After leaving the dungeon, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha walked back hand in hand, their faces looking better than before and less scary.
"You were still young when the crime happened, so you probably don't remember. The old man of the Feng family was robbed of his gold, and he was so severely hit that he passed away within a few days. The old lady of the Feng family was also overly sad, and soon He passed away. Later, because the case was never solved and the gold was never recovered, the business of the Feng family's gold shop plummeted, and they still owed a lot of money. The head of the Feng family sold off the family shop, belongings, etc. , reluctantly exchanged for foreign debt, frustrated, dismissed the servants at home, and took the family back to their place of origin. Later, my father received news that the family was on their way back to their place of origin, and the ship they were traveling on encountered a big boat. The wind and waves caused the whole boat to capsize and everyone on board perished.”
"Disaster?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Did you find the body?"
"No." Shen Haolin shook his head and glanced at Shen Cha, "I know what you want to say. You want to see people alive, and you want to see a corpse when you die, right?"
"Yeah!" Shen Cha sneezed hard, "Seeing is believing!"
"The place where the accident happened has been searched for seven days, covering a hundred miles around, but..." Shen Haolin reached out and touched Shen Cha's forehead, feeling a little warm, and frowned unconsciously, "Yes Are you cold?"
"No, it's just that my nose is itchy and my brother's hands are a little cold." Shen Cha held Shen Haolin's hand tightly, "We searched hundreds of miles around, but we still didn't find those people? So, just Declare them dead?”
"It wasn't directly. It was only after half a year when there was still no news or trace that their household registration was removed." Shen Haolin sighed, "So there is no need to go to the Feng family, even if they are still alive. In this world, I’m sure I won’t get this gold back.”
"Why?" Shen Cha was puzzled, "This gold should have been returned to our family after we found it, why not?"
"How many people's blood has been stained with this batch of gold, and how many people have died because of it. Do you think they will want it? Even if they want it, the descendants of the Feng family will probably have their heads broken because of the ownership of this batch of gold. If the blood is shed, there may be a few more lives lost. Therefore, the wisest choice is not to let go. As for what to do with this batch of gold, it depends on His Majesty's wishes."
"What brother said makes sense." Shen Cha let out a long sigh of relief, "No matter what Your Majesty means, this batch of gold will still go into the private treasury. It's not the people in the Ministry of Accounts that I can't trust. But one less thing is better than one more thing. If something goes wrong by then, I won’t be patient to fight a lawsuit with them."
"You don't need to come forward. Just your brother Xiaotian and brother Xiaojing can spray them half to death. Besides, Bai Meng is still here. If something goes wrong, he, the commander-in-chief, will be the first to bear the brunt."
"According to what my brother says, we also have a great magic weapon. With her here, there is no need to worry."
"That's right, so you'd better worry less!" Shen Haolin tapped Shen Cha's head twice, "What you Xiaotian said is really right. You always say one thing." Do one thing and do the other.”
"What is she thinking about again?"
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha followed the sound and saw Xue Ruitian wrapped in a thick cloak, standing at the door of the flower hall. Seeing their eyes turning towards him, he waved his paws excitedly.
"Why are you out? Don't you feel cold?" Shen Haolin pulled Shen Cha and quickly walked to Xue Ruitian's side, "What, you still want to let Jin Miaomiao serve you for two more days? Try her new cold Does the prescription tube work?"
"Hey, come on, I don't want to mess with her anymore. I'll vomit her recipe every time I drink it. I think she's just trying to mess with me." Xue Ruitian followed Shen Haolin and Shen Cha into the flower hall, "Yes. Okay, what were you talking about just now? Also, what did the assassin find that Xiaojiu and the others are so anxious to let you see?"
"You have indeed discovered something extraordinary!" Shen Haolin took off his cloak and handed it to Mei Lin. He looked at Xue Ruitian, then at Jin Jing, Bai Meng and Yerunan, "You just want to break your head. , and you would never guess it.”
"Really?" Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing exchanged glances, "Since we can't guess it, then stop being pretentious and tell us quickly!"
"gunpowder!"
"..." Xue Ruitian blinked, turned around and grabbed Jin Jing, "Did I hallucinate just now?"
"...I'm sorry to tell you, no." Jin Jing frowned and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Gunpowder? What kind of gunpowder?"
"The color is very good and the quality is high." Shen Haolin filled a bowl of hot mutton soup for Shen Cha, sprinkled some spices from Dashi in it, and handed it to Shen Cha, "Drink it while it's hot."
"Oh!" Shen Cha picked up the soup bowl and took a sip. He raised his eyebrows at Xue Ruitian, who was stunned and speechless. "Not only is the color and quality good, but the quantity is also huge. I counted it. There are a whole Thirty cans.”
"Are the Duan people crazy?" Bai Meng put down the chopsticks in his hands, "If the thirty cans of gunpowder really exploded, not only the Jiaping Pass would be unlucky, but also the Liao border passes closest to us. They will also be razed to the ground. How... how dare they... how dare they do this? Is a little Duan so eager to provoke the anger of Liao and Xia? "
"gunpowder!"
Xue Ruitian finally regained his composure, only to realize that he had been pulled back by Jin Jing to sit down. He slapped the table so hard that Yerunan next to him almost threw the chopsticks out of his hand in fright.
"Master Hou, Master Hou, calm down!" Yerunan patted Xue Ruitian's arm, "Don't be so excited. Now that you have found it, the thing won't grow legs and run away on its own, right?"
"How can I not be excited?" Xue Ruitian slammed the table, "You have never seen the power of a large amount of gunpowder explosion, but I have."
"Have you seen it?" Bai Meng squinted her eyes and looked at him for a while, "Oh, I remembered that thirteen years ago, the fire at Shifo Temple on the outskirts of Xijing was caused by the explosion of a large amount of gunpowder. Mr. Hou... Did you experience it personally?”
"That's right, to this day, I can't forget the scene at that time." Xue Ruitian took a deep breath, "I remember that I followed my mother to offer incense, and after walking far away, something happened in the nunnery. The moment of the explosion , it felt like the heaven and earth were shaking violently, and the carriage we were riding in turned over. The horses were frightened and ran wildly dragging the overturned carriage. Fortunately, the trembling was only two times, and calm was restored soon. There were no injured guards. He quickly subdued the frightened horse and saved my mother and I." After that, he closed his eyes and shook his head, "It took several days before I learned from my father that the monks in Shifo Temple were all former The remnants of the dynasty were holding back to come up with something to cause trouble for Daxia. My father said that the gunpowder they used had a lot of impurities, otherwise the consequences would be even more disastrous."
"Brother Xiaotian, don't worry. With my brother here, you here, and the commander-in-chief here, we will never have such a thing happen here, so you don't have to worry." After drinking the soup, Shen Cha used a handkerchief. Wiping her mouth, "However, there is one thing that we must pay attention to." She looked at Yerunan, "These people can hide so much gunpowder in Jiaping Pass, there is no guarantee that the same problem will not occur at the border of Liao Kingdom. "
"General Shen is right," Yerunan said sternly, "I was also thinking about this issue just now. Such a big thing happened in Jiaping Pass where the control is so strict. We who never care about gunpowder..." He He smiled bitterly and said, "In the eyes of people with ulterior motives, I'm afraid it's like a sieve! I'm thinking, I'll set off back early tomorrow morning and check our borders carefully."
"Mr. Nan is right, this is a major event and cannot be delayed." Bai Meng nodded in agreement, "It's just..."
"The commander-in-chief wants to say that this kind of thing will happen not only in Liao and Xia, but also in Jin, right?" Yerunan smiled and exchanged looks with a few people, "Don't worry, I will tell you when I get back." Yan Xi, as for what he will do...that is his own choice."
