Chapter 971: Huge Hidden Danger

 A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Although Li Qinzai is not a gentleman, he is actually not willing to stand under a dangerous wall, whether he is a gentleman or a villain.

After entering the workshop, Li Qinzai found himself in a huge gunpowder barrel, and not far away were piles of gunpowder, while officials and craftsmen continued to produce with a calm look on their faces.

Li Qinzai's face changed.

Isn't anyone cared about such a huge safety hazard?

Liu Shenli was with Li Qinzai and followed him step by step. Seeing Li Qinzai standing far away outside the workshop, refusing to take another step in, Liu Shenli couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Liu Dajiang, ask me something..." Li Qinzai said slowly.

"Even though the Duke of Li County asked, the officials at the bottom of the country said."

Pointing to the messy environment of the workshop and the gunpowder piled under the wall, Li Qinzai said: "Has nothing happened to you doing this?"

Liu Shenli's face froze, and he was silent for a moment, and whispered: "Since the day the firearm surveillance was established, there have been five incidents in the workshop, two of which were a big explosion, killing dozens of craftsmen on the spot, and three more times when the water was left. Fortunately, the extinguishing was timely and no casualties were caused."

Li Qinzai's face gradually became cold: "Since five incidents have happened, why don't you learn from your lesson?"

Pointing at the mountain of gunpowder, Li Qinzai said, "Do you know that we can't live a small Mars?"

Liu Shenli smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the officials knew that they were wrong. But these gunpowders were only temporarily stored and will be taken away by people from the Arsenal of the Ministry of War. Moreover, the gunpowder was sealed with oil paper. I don't think so..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qinzai interrupted him coldly: "Your thoughts are not important, what's important is that you are taking human life away!"

"You are so huge that you will be a chief magistrate and ignore it. You have obviously had several major events, but you still don't take it seriously. Isn't the life of a craftsman?"

Liu Shenli was sweating coldly. Just as he was about to explain a few words, an official walked out of the workshop and shouted: "Mr. Li County does not need to blame Liu Dajiang, everything is the decision of the subordinates."

Li Qinzai frowned and looked at the official.

But I saw this man wearing a scarlet official robe, about thirty years old, with a wisp of flowing green beard under his jaw, slowly walking with his official steps. Every step he took seemed to be blessed with a righteous temperament.

Li Qinzai smiled and bowed: "I didn't ask this low-level official wearing the scarlet official uniform is..."

The official's face turned cold and he held back his anger: "The young supervisor of the firearms in the lower office, Fu Youyi, pay a visit to Duke Li County."

Li Qinzai suddenly realized.

When Li Zhi appointed Li Qinzai as the deputy director of firearms, but Li Qinzai was lazy and rarely performed his duties after becoming this young prison. He didn't even know where the door of the firearms was.

Later, Li Qinzai returned from Tuyuhun Zai and was named a marquis of the county. The position of Firearms Supervisor was removed from the position of "Second Prison". Li Zhi reappointed a "Second Prison" and was probably the Fu Youyi in front of him.

Being able to be appointed as the minor supervisor of firearms by Li Zhi and to participate in such a sensitive job in gunpowder manufacturing shows that Fu Youyi is still quite trusted by Li Zhi.

But Li Qinzai didn't expect this man to be so handsome. He could tell with a word that this man was arrogant and had a higher eye than his top.

After looking at it, Li Qinzai said coldly: "Since you are a minor prisoner, you should know how dangerous the gunpowder is. After the manufacturing is completed, the gunpowder must be sealed in a safe place. You just piled it under the wall like this. Do you think your life is too long?"

Fu Youyi said back without showing any weakness: "The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works of the Court sent personnel to urge each day and night. The craftsmen made gunpowder day and night, and the people who worked in the firearm prison were exhausted, and the craftsmen were exhausted. The Duke of Li County said lightly, it was not you who made gunpowder day and night."

"The gunpowder made was piled under the wall, and it was taken away by the Ministry of War within half a day. How could there be a hidden danger? Duke Li was too worried."

Li Qinzai understood what he meant and was shocked: "Day and night? Do you also make gunpowder at night? What lighting should the workshop use?"

Liu Shenli wiped the cold sweat and said carefully: "Use lanterns, usually hang a lantern on the beams of the workshop."

Li Qinzai's face gradually turned ashen.

The gunpowder workshop uses lanterns to illuminate... Why don't you look for shit in the pit?

"It's your idea to make gunpowder at night?" Li Qinzai stared at Fu Youyi and asked.

Fu Youyi said coldly: "What's wrong? The king's army is about to fight eastward. The daily production of gunpowder cannot meet the needs of the army. The lower officials are the criminals of the court. Since they have to work, they must of course not stop day and night."

Li Qinzai took a deep breath. Nothing happened like this. Fu Youyi obviously had a hard birth date, otherwise he would have been frying the slag.

Too lazy to pay attention to this crazy criticism, Li Qinzai turned his head and looked at Liu Shenli and said, "You can understand people's words, I'll talk to you. The firearm monitoring problem is very big, and production must be stopped immediately, otherwise a big problem will happen."

Liu Shenli's expression was bitter, but before he could speak, Fu Youyi became excited.

"The Ministry of War has been urging me to the extreme, why should I stop production? Who can bear the blame for delaying my royal army's expedition?"

Li Qinzai calmed down and saw Fu Youyi's excited look, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although there are many officials who are patriotic and respecting the post these days, there is no need to be so intense, right? From the moment I met Fu Youyi, I felt that he seemed to be full of hostility towards him.

Did I dig his ancestral grave?

Pulling Liu Shenli's arm and pulling him aside, Li Qinzai whispered: "This guy... this guy named Fu Youyi, have I offended him?"

Liu Shenli smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Li has never met him, so how can he offend him?"

"No, there is something wrong here. Liu Dajiang, tell me the truth, what kind of hatred do I have with him?"

Liu Shenli was silent for a while before whispering: "Before Fu Youyi was appointed as the Chief of the Young Mansion of the Firearms Supervisor, he was the Minister of the Young Mansion. He was under Liu Yuanzhen's disciple. Last year, Li Yi's Mansion committed an incident and his son-in-law Liu Yuanzhen was also beheaded..."

Li Qinzai suddenly realized.

It turned out that he had something to do with Li Yi's mansion. Last year, Li Yi's mansion was beheaded and his whole family was punished. Fu Youyi has no backer ever since. No wonder he hated him so much.

Everything has a cause and a result, and the grace and hatred in the world eventually have a source.

At this time, I turned my head and looked at Fu Youyi's unruly look with his nostrils. Well, I was getting more and more ungrateful.

Turning around and walking to Fu Youyi, Li Qinzai smiled.

"As for me, I was just ordered to see the production progress of gunpowder and firearms. To be honest, I was just going through the motions. I originally planned to leave with a glance, but I was not interested in establishing a person who worked hard to contribute to the country..."

As he said that, Li Qinzai's face gradually became colder.

"But, you, a minor prisoner, are sluggish and careless, and you have no choice but to have your life. Since I have seen it, you can't ignore it. If you think your life is long, you can pull a rope and hang it yourself, but other officials and craftsmen are innocent, and you are killing someone else's lives."

"You young prisoner, I can't be the one who is here anymore. I tell myself in front of the emperor."
