Chapter 159 Do you know what explosives are used for?
Within a few days, Liang Qian found many alchemists, about ten of them.
"grown ups."
Liang Qian brought the person in charge of the alchemy master he selected to the government office to meet Zhao Jin.
"Is he the person you picked?" Zhao Jin leaned on the chair, put his hands on his belly, and looked at the alchemist in front of him with his starry eyes a little sharp.
In order to avoid the eyes and ears of others, he did not wear a Taoist robe, but an ordinary gray and white robe.
The robe was a little old after being washed, but it was still clean and tidy, but I don't know if it was because of the wide robe that it made her figure look a little thin.
The alchemist was not very old. Looking at it, Zhao Jin estimated that he was not long past his thirties, and his face showed some vicissitudes of life.
What really attracted Zhao Jin was his eyes.
Zhao Jin leaned forward slightly, "Why don't you tell me about yourself first?"
Zhao Jin stopped Liang Qian and let the alchemist speak for himself.
In the past two days, in order to reduce Liang Qian's running around and attract attention to the suburbs of the city, Zhao Jin asked him to find a reliable alchemist who would be directly responsible for these people's development of explosives.
Looking directly at this pair of eyes, Zhao Jin had not seen such clear eyes for a long time.
"Reporting to your lord," Zhao Jin's aura was a bit strong. Liang Qian and others were used to it, and they didn't feel much at all. The alchemist was so frightened that he trembled when he spoke for the first time.
"Caomin, Caomin's name is Xu Shangqing. His parents died young. He entered a Taoist temple when he was very young and studied alchemy with his master for nearly ten years."
Xu Shangqing paused and his throat moved slightly, "Later, later, the Taoist temple declined, and the land of the Taoist temple was forcibly seized. Master and the others were all gone."
His voice was a little sad, and even the circles under his eyes were slightly red.
Zhao Jin's eyebrows moved slightly. It seemed that Xu Shangqing had a deep relationship with his former Taoist temple.
It just so happened that the others were all Xu Shangqing's senior brothers, and they had good relationships, so they would take care of the others and not dare to have any random thoughts.
"Do you know what you are going to do?" Zhao Jin asked in a deep voice.
Xu Shangqing nodded and mustered up the courage to look at Zhao Jin, "The common people know that you have given us a place to live, and we must keep it secret when we work for you."
"Yes," Zhao Jin stared at Xu Shangqing closely, his eyes sharp, "If someone leaks the secret and the person who leaked the secret cannot be found, I will have no choice but to take your lives."
Xu Shangqing was so frightened by Zhao Jin that he trembled. Looking at Zhao Jin's indifferent expression, he felt that this handsome face seemed to be some kind of ferocious beast, which was frightening.
"If the common people know it, they will definitely, definitely take a good look at them and won't let them leak the secret."
"As long as you don't do anything you shouldn't do, and I won't let you get into trouble, that Taoist temple will always be your place of refuge."
"good!"
Xu Shangqing gritted his teeth and agreed.
Since the Taoist temple was gone, his brothers and sisters had no choice but to wander and be bullied. He really didn't want to live like this anymore. He couldn't see tomorrow when he opened his eyes.
He didn't want to think that his good brothers and sisters would have to live like this.
Your Excellency's reputation is praised by the people, so he should be a good official, right?
Zhao Jin slowed down his voice and said, "Xu Shangqing, do you know what these explosives are used for?"
"The common people don't know." Xu Shangqing shook his head and said in a low voice, then lowered his head and said nothing, as if he didn't want to know.
Zhao Jin laughed, he was quite smart, no wonder he was able to survive with his fellow apprentices and even survive the plague.
This smile dissipated Zhao Jin's aura a little, and Xu Shangqing's sense of oppression was not as strong.
"Xu Shangqing, I am quite satisfied with you, so there is no harm in telling you." Zhao Jin sat upright and said.
He could see that Xu Shangqing had a good character.
Having gone through many vicissitudes of life, he still retains a pair of such clear eyes. Even if such a person is not a very kind person, his character will definitely not be bad.
Emotions can be concealed, but the clarity and turbidity of the eyes cannot be concealed.
After hearing this, Xu Shangqing could only say: "The common people are all ears."
Zhao Jin said slowly: "These explosives are to be used by the army to deal with the Beili people."
"So, it must be kept secret and cannot be leaked." Zhao Jin's face turned solemn and he said seriously.
Although the people in Riliang Mountain confessed that there was only one spies' den like this, but who knows if there are others that they don't know about?
Therefore, before the explosives were actually put on the battlefield, Zhao Jin could not let other uncertain people know.
Xu Shangqing was a little confused by Zhao Jin's words. Even his emotions, which had calmed down, showed obvious fluctuations again. Zhao Jin could clearly see red.
This kind of red is different from the one just now, it is scarlet, like bloodshot eyes eroding those rare clear eyes bit by bit.
"Not bad." Zhao Jin nodded, paying attention to Xu Shangqing's expression.
Xu Shangqing bit his lip and said with gritted teeth: "The master of Cao Min died at the hands of Beili people."
When he was wandering on the streets, he never complained about others. He gritted his teeth and endured with his brothers and sisters. The only people he hated were the people of Beili.
Originally, the people who Master would not die were those from Beili.
"Master was moved by compassion and saved a child from Beili, but..."
Xu Shangqing's throat seemed to be forced to scream, "But when I came back, I saw the child with a knife in his hand and stabbed the master in the chest."
Zhao Jin opened his mouth, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment, so he looked sideways at Liang Qian.
Liang Qian pursed her lips, looked at Zhao Jin, and tapped her chin.
"Huh..." Zhao Jin let out a long sigh of relief, "Xu Shangqing, all this has passed, I will not let anyone from Beili step into Yunzhou City again."
Zhao Jin said the last sentence sonorously and forcefully with an extremely serious expression.
"Caomin, thank you, sir!"
Xu Shangqing lifted up his robe, knelt down on his knees, put his palms on the ground, and put his forehead against the ground.
This thank you is for myself, for my brothers, for my master, for the Taoist temple, and for all the people of Yunzhou City, dead and alive.
"Get up."
Zhao Jin felt quite uncomfortable. He said to Liang Qian: "Liang Qian, please send him back first. Be careful not to be discovered."
"Yes, sir."
After Liang Qian took Xu Shangqing away, Zhao Jin seemed to have lost all his strength, leaned back on the chair again, and closed his eyes.
Since coming to Yunzhou, Zhao Jin has been cleaning up the old forces in Yunzhou, cases, plagues, and bandits in Riliang Mountain, one after another. Zhao Jin has almost no energy to stop.
Now that he could take a breath, Zhao Jin realized how heavy the burden of being the governor of Yunzhou County was.
What he has to carry is the entire Yunzhou County, and what he carries on his shoulders are the expectations of all the people in Yunzhou County.
Behind him, not only were the people of Beili watching, but there were also the calculations of King Liang and the emperor's thoughts.
