After Ruan Tang returned home, she called Qingfeng and told him what she saw today.
"You go to the government office later and see if you can ask the adults there to go to the cave. It would be best to capture all the weapons."
Ruan Tang knew where the weapons were hidden, but she was just an ordinary person after all. Criminals like this who endanger the country should be left to the government to deal with them.
But Qingfeng didn't move, looking at her with a somewhat annoyed expression.
"What's wrong with you? Go!"
"Next time this happens, can you please be less impulsive, or call me before you go? You go alone and go with me. If you are discovered, will you risk your life?"
Ruan Tang didn't expect him to be angry because of this.
He could only comfort him: "It was an emergency, and I didn't have time to call you. Besides, am I fine? At most, I can just go there next time."
She didn't tell Qingfeng that she was almost discovered and then saved by a stranger.
"He also said that Xiao Tiantian is careless. You are even more careless than her. Call me when you go out later to save you from messing up again."
Over the years, he has lived a peaceful life here, which has made him less wary.
Now that Shen Qianyi appears here, it is no longer safe.
If he discovers that she is here, given the virtues of Shen Qianyi and Ruan Qingluan, something will happen.
"No need, I go to the restaurant every day, and you don't like working there, so why should I follow you? Anyway, I won't be impulsive anymore, and I won't go there personally if something happens. Don't worry."
Qingfeng stopped talking, glanced at her and went out.
In accordance with Ruan Tang's request, he went to the local government office and told the elders of the government office what Ruan Tang said.
After hearing this, the man promised that he would send someone to investigate. However, Qingfeng left the government office and deliberately waited on the roof of his government office for a long time, but he did not see the man sending anyone out to investigate.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing is related to the security of the country. Whether it is true or false, as a local manager, we should respond actively and not let go of any possibility.
Qingfeng seemed to have already guessed this outcome.
For Shen Qianyi to be so arrogant here, he must have bribed the powerful people here.
If his guess was correct, there must be nothing in the cave that Ruan Tang looked at before.
In order to seek confirmation, Qingfeng went to the cave based on the clues provided by Ruan Tang.
Before he entered, he saw many deep tracks on the ground where the wheels had been run over. From this glance, he knew that the car must have been loaded with heavy objects.
Most of these weapons are made of iron and are naturally heavy.
Qingfeng entered the cave along the entrance. Sure enough, it was empty, with nothing in it.
"It moves pretty fast."
Qingfeng left the cave and returned to his residence.
Ruan Tang was more concerned about this matter. When he saw him coming back, he immediately asked, "How is it? Did the government send someone to seize those weapons?"
Qingfeng shook his head, "No, they must have bribed the government office, and I went to the cave and there are no more of those things in it."
"No more?" Ruan Tang was shocked.
She didn't expect that there were so many weapons and it would be difficult to transfer them.
And the quantity is so large that it will look ostentatious no matter where it is shipped.
But knowing that the people in the government office might have been bribed, Ruan Tang didn't find it strange.
But such a large number of weapons were shipped out, and it was unknown that this was not all Shen Qianyi and the others had. If they really arrived at Dayue Kingdom, a war would surely start in minutes.
They will not have a peaceful life by then.
"Qingfeng, I overheard Shen Qianyi and Ruan Qingluan talking about these weapons being sold to Dayue Kingdom. How about we find a way to find a bigger official on the only way to Dayue Kingdom? Is it possible to block them?"
Qingfeng pondered for a while, "I don't know. Shen Qianyi is also the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, and he also has an official position in the court. We don't know how powerful his power is. If he uses his power to win over all the people nearby, officials, then no matter how many officials we report, it will not help?"
"Then what should we do? We can't just watch him transport the weapons out, right? If I didn't know, I could still live in peace. Now that I know, if I let him do whatever he wants, my conscience will be uneasy."
If there is a war, how many people will die?
And more people will suffer.
Qingfeng was silent.
In fact, he does not have the heart of a Bodhisattva like Ruan Tang. In his opinion, if there are some things that he has tried his best and still cannot change, then he will not force it.
If they don't care about this matter, they can at most leave here and go to another place. Even if a war breaks out, it has nothing to do with them.
But he knew that Ruan Tang had made a lot of money over the years, but she would spend some money every year to help poor people and beggars.
She now knows that Shen Qianyi's matter is fueling the development of the war, and she cannot ignore it.
"Qingfeng, otherwise, let's blow up those weapons together. As long as those weapons are destroyed, they can't be transported out. Even if they are shipped out, Dayue Kingdom will not want the incomplete weapons."
"Explode? How?" Qingfeng frowned slightly.
They are all iron weapons. If we want to blow them all up, how much more explosives will we need?
And where can I get such a large amount of explosives?
"You go find out their travel route. As for how to blow it up, I'll figure it out."
"How do you think of a solution? The explosives outside are all in small doses. Even if a hundred of them are placed together, they won't be very powerful. Is it possible that you still want to make explosives yourself?"
Large-dose explosives are not sold on the market. Generally, large-dose explosives are only available in the military.
"You're right, just do it yourself."
It is not difficult to make explosives in their era. When she adds some other things and makes some improvements, the power will definitely not be reduced.
"You can do it?"
"No, you can learn."
Originally, making gunpowder in their era was not difficult, requiring only saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. However, this ratio may require some effort to study.
But they didn't have much time. They didn't know when Shen Qianyi and the others would set off, so Ruan Tang and Qingfeng divided their troops into two groups.
Qingfeng went to find out the news, while she went to the medical center to call Ling Qing, and then found some people to buy saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal in batches.
She spent a total of money and sent more than a dozen people to buy it. She spread her purchases so that she would not attract attention. Otherwise, if she bought so much by herself, it would inevitably not arouse other suspicions.
After everything was ready, Ruan Tang asked people to go to the blacksmith shop to buy some iron slag or small pieces of iron.
After that, Ruan Tang stayed at home and started developing it.
Ling Qing was also assisting. He usually made medicine, but in fact there were many similarities with making this explosive.
