Chapter 110 Gunpowder

He Lingjiang and Pei You rushed all the way to the mine in the back mountain, and saw that under the shade of grass and trees, the mine was like a giant beast dormant in the dark, quietly opening a large mouth in the rain before dawn, as if to swallow everyone.

However, looking at the intact mine, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She brushed open the grass and trees at the entrance of the cave, pushed open the stone door with Pei You, and entered the mine.

The mine cave is still as usual, with the lights swaying gently, and the sound of chiseling the walls in the distance.

The miners mine as usual, without any panic.

He Lingjiang frowned. It seemed that there was no difference here.

"If you were that wave of people, what would you do now?" She looked around and found nothing unusual.

Pei You stared at the lights hanging on the stone wall and said two words quietly: "Mine explosion."

Even though he had guessed it, He Lingjiang couldn't help but take a breath. Sure enough, he thought so.

With the Prince Sun in charge of private investigation in Nanshan, it is impossible to avoid it.

Since Liu Yuan could not stop him, he could erase all the traces in advance. In this way, even if Junmaster Sun could investigate, he could not find out the evidence of his private acquisition, he could not involve him.

Now, the supervisor who secretly handled him has died. The few people transporting ore may have been his own hands, and now they are not in the mining area.

What remains are the mines and the miners.

Just blow up the mine cave and bury all the people or things about private copper and iron mining underground.

Even if County Chief Sun asked the informant to tell the matter, Liu Yuan could have bitten back, saying that he was taking advantage of the landslide of the mountain near the Nanshan mining area to bite freely.

After all, he, County Governor Liu, has never done any extraordinary time since he took office.

He Lingjiang lowered his head and looked at his wet clothes that were still dripping water down.

This night is raining heavily, with spring thunder, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

In early spring, it’s rare to encounter such heavy rain!

It wouldn't be strange if a mountain collapse occurred in such a mountainous area as Nanshan.

Pei You was still looking at the lights on the stone wall. He Lingjiang followed his gaze and couldn't help but condense when he saw the candlelight on the stone wall.

Candles are expensive, so this object should not be used to illuminate this mine, not to mention that when she came here, she remembered that the oil lamp was clearly used here.

Pei You had already stepped forward and went to take a closer look at the candlelight.

The bright flame of the candle wick leaps gently, and the middle of the candle body is melted by high temperature, and a pool of wax oil accumulates around the candle wick.

During the breathing, the wax oil was absorbed and burned by the candle wick, and then a new liquid was transformed into it. The candle was gradually getting shorter and shorter, and it is only two fingers long.

Pei You raised his hand and held the candle, and saw a lead wire embedded at the bottom of the candle, extending down the stone wall from the bottom of the candle.

The lead is gray, the same color as the stone wall, and the cave is dark, so the two of them didn't see it just now.

He Lingjiang groped along the lead and found something wrong on the ground next to the stone wall. The stones here were a little loose.

She took out a short dagger from her sleeve and inserted it into the gap of the stone and pried it, and the stone was pried.

Pei You's eyebrows moved slightly, and he squatted down and helped her move the stone away with one hand, revealing the buried objects below.

Brown and black powder piled up in a cave that was a foot square, full of flowers.

It's gunpowder powder!

He Lingjiang felt a stern and stabbed it with a short dagger to test it. The powder did not reach the end of the dagger and did not touch the bottom.

So much gunpowder is all accumulated in a small space, and once it explodes, it will be enough to shake the mountain.

He Lingjiang pulled out the dagger, blocked the lead with his backhand, and then looked at Pei You, who was still holding the candle in one hand: "Stand farther!"

If the candle accidentally flips down and falls into the gunpowder, the two of them will be finished.

"puff!"

Pei You blew out the candle in his hand and put it back in its original place: "What are you afraid of? How can I not be careful about life-related matters?"

He Lingjiang glanced at him: "I'm afraid you'll slip."

There was another place opposite, and a candle was also burned. She quickly went over, blew out the candle, and raised her body to look at it. She saw another lead wire at the bottom extending downwards.

He Lingjiang pulled out the lead wire, and then he realized that this and the lead wire were actually connected to the previous place.

It's really a good plan!

When the candle is burned out, the lead at the bottom will ignite, and the lead will go down the stone wall and connect to the gunpowder powder under the stone slab.

By then, with a "bang", the entire hole will collapse.

I’m afraid that if Liu Yuan wants to explode the mine in more than these two places, he will blow it up completely, making it impossible to investigate.

He Zheng also arrived at this time with his two subordinates.

Although He Lingjiang came out this time, he brought Jingwei, but he didn't have much manpower. In addition, there was a chaos in the area where the supervisors and the other people were protected, so he was too short of him.

He Lingjiang pointed to several main mines and ordered: "Each person and one place, when you see the candle on the stone wall, first blow out the candle fire, and then pull out the leads at the bottom of the candle body so that no one can take the opportunity to ignite."

"I will notify the miners of heavy rain tonight, and there may be a risk of collapse here, so I will let you come out of the mine cave first and avoid other places."

She reminded again: "Remember, if not necessary, don't say that someone explodes the mine first, so as not to cause panic and accidents."

"Can the number of people who clear each mine road be complete when it comes out?"

Speaking of this, she looked fierce: "If you encounter someone who takes the opportunity to make trouble, kill him immediately."

He Zheng and others looked solemn, holding their hands, and then flew to several main mineways.

He Lingjiang clicked the remaining two mines and said to Pei You: "You and I will be together."

Pei You nodded, flew into the mine track.

He Lingjiang picked up a few gravels and then entered the mine track. When he encountered the candle burning on the stone wall, he popped up the stone to destroy it, and then quickly stepped forward and pulled out the lead wire connected to the underground gunpowder.

As we went down, three gunpowder was buried in a mine tunnel.

If every mine tunnel is like this, plus two cave entrances, there will be at least seventeen.

So much gunpowder is enough to blow up all the mined mines, and even flatten half of the mountain.

At that time, the saying "heavy rain crashes into the mountains" will cover everything up and make people unable to find traces of personal gain.

After He Lingjiang cleaned all the candlelight and leads, he shouted out loud: "Everyone!"

"Tonight, there is a risk of mountain collapse. Please go out of the mine quickly and take refuge in other places!"

She used her inner breath and her voice gradually spread through the mines of all sizes.

The miners who were chiseling the wall heard the sound and couldn't help but stop their movements. After listening carefully to the contents of the words, they immediately put down the hammer in their hands and half bent out of the mine.
