Thinking of Yin Wuyan's dangerous situation in the future, Zhan Feiyu felt that she must get the gunpowder out as soon as possible. She had also checked before and found that there were records of gunpowder in books hundreds of years ago: Saltpeter came out of the Long Road.
Regarding the formula of gunpowder, it is also stated in the classics that "burn it with sulfur, realgar, saltpeter, and honey." The phenomenon of "flaming up, burning hands and faces, and burning up the house" will occur.
Zhan Feiyu knew that this means that heating honey can turn it into charcoal. Mixing sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal is the formula of gunpowder.
But even with the formula, the elder brother said that the Daqing Dynasty only equipped the army with "flying fire" and "rocket". The former was made by making gunpowder into a ring, lighting the hanging wire and throwing it out with a trebuchet.
The so-called "rocket" is to tie a gunpowder ball under the arrowhead, ignite the fuse and shoot it with a bow.
However, black powder is not very lethal, and it is not easy to store. It will lose its effectiveness once it gets wet. However, if the environment is too dry, there is concern that the gunpowder will burn or even explode if stored in a sealed container.
Therefore, in the entire Daqing Dynasty, the Jingwei Divine Barracks, equipped with flying fire, rockets, and three thousand soldiers, only obeyed the orders of the current emperor and was responsible for the security of the capital and the palace.
"Are you scared?" Qiu Zongxi looked at Zhan Feiyu, whose brows were so furrowed that he could kill a fly, and felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have said these words, making this girl worry about Gu Qingzhou who was far away in the capital.
When Zhan Feiyu came back to his senses, just as he was about to speak, there were hurried footsteps outside the door. Before the maid guarding the door had time to salute, Yang Xu opened the door and rushed into the inner room.
Looking at Yang Xu who was carrying a gust of cold wind and coldness, Qiu Zongxi's face sank, "How reckless and reckless!"
Although Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu usually read and write in the study, Qiu Zongxi and He Nuan were also there, but this was an inner room and a bedroom. Yang Xu barged in carelessly, even though Qiu Zongxi was informal.
Xiaojie also thought that Yang Xu was too rude.
He was running so fast that his breathing was a little short. Yang Xu stood still, his dark eyes fixed on Zhan Feiyu, who was half leaning on the bed, with confusion, anger and disappointment in his eyes.
Looking at Yang Xu with spikes all over his body, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but think of their first meeting in Stone Village that day. Yang Xu was the same way. Did he know about the death of the Fu girl?
"Did you go out at midnight last night?" Yang Xu clenched his hands into fists, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes were still fixed on Zhan Feiyu's face, as if he didn't want to miss her every expression.
"Yes." Zhan Feiyu nodded. Although she went out quietly last night, An Nuan jumped out of the wall and left the Qiu Mansion. The dead men of the Qiu family who secretly protected Mr. Qiu knew that they wanted to come to Yang who was lurking around.
The family department also knows.
His heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Unwilling to believe it, Yang Xu asked again with a sullen face, "Did you go to Fu's house?"
Looking at Yang Xu, whose whole body was tense and seemed to be suppressing the overwhelming anger, Zhan Feiyu's eyes widened a bit. Did he think that he had killed the Fu girl?
Suddenly, the thread in his mind broke, and Yang Xu roared angrily, "Are you talking?"
Zhan Feiyu was already feeling dizzy and uncomfortable because of the cold wind, and then looking at Yang Xu who was as angry as a little beast, and meeting his extremely disappointed eyes, Zhan Feiyu also became angry inexplicably, and his body was half leaning
He sat up straight and said, "Yes! I went to Fu's house!"
Qiu Zongxi didn't know what happened at this moment. Zhan Feiyu suddenly left at midnight last night. After hearing the reply, Qiu Zongxi didn't pay attention and didn't let anyone follow him.
In the morning, He Nuan went to ask for leave. Qiu Zongxi was not surprised that Zhan Feiyu would catch the cold. The little girl was very afraid of the cold, but she went to Fu's house when she went out?
"Did you kill Fu Langhuan?" He asked her question word by word. The corners of Yang Xu's eyes turned red. How could she be so indifferent to human life?
"I see you fell into the water last night and broke your brain!" Qiu Zongxi was accompanied by an angry shout as he smashed the tea cup over.
Fortunately, even if he was angry, he only hit Yang Xu on the back with the teacup, otherwise he would definitely get a bloody head if it hit him on the head.
He Sheng, who had entered the room at an unknown time, flashed his figure and stood in front of the bed. His gentle and honest face was indifferent at the moment, "Master Yang, please respect yourself. Miss, please rest."
"I..." Looking at the indifferent He Sheng, and then at Zhan Feiyu, whose expression was calm but whose eyes were inexplicably distant and cold, Yang Xu was stunned for a moment, and the original anger disappeared without a trace in an instant, thinking
He opened his mouth, but he was at a loss and didn't know what to say.
This elm-headed head! Qiu Zongxi simply couldn't see it. Although the Yang family was a military general, they were still strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Why did they become a muscle when they arrived at Yang Xu's place? He was not young at the age of eight.
To be so reckless and impulsive.
"Okay, come out with me!" Qiu Zongxi stood up and put a hand on Yang Xu's shoulder, so hard that Yang Xu knew he had to leave.
But when he thought of the news he had just received, Yang Xu felt as if his feet were nailed to the ground, staring at Zhan Feiyu stubbornly and stubbornly, wanting her to give an explanation.
"You idiot! If she wants to kill people, she needs to go there in person? Do you think He Sheng He Nuan is just a decoration, or do you think those people are just wooden people in the secret?" Qiu Zongxi slapped Yang Xu on the back of the head with a violent hand, and a clever move from his hand directly
He dragged Yang Xu out of the bedroom. I have never seen anyone so stupid before.
He Sheng watched coldly, then cleaned up the broken teacups on the ground. Looking at Zhan Feiyu who was leaning back on the bed, he couldn't help but feel worried, "Miss?"
"Is there any news from big brother? Who planted the osmanthus?" Zhan Feiyu asked. She regarded Yang Xu as a friend, but what she valued more was the military power of the Yang family. Of course, Yang Xu was also worth making friends with.
But just because he knew Yang Xu's nature, Zhan Feiyu didn't care about the eight-year-old child. It was just his questioning attitude that made Zhan Feiyu uneasy. Since they were friends, he should at least ask himself first instead of hearing the news.
Just convict yourself directly.
Seeing that Zhan Feiyu was really not angry, He Sheng felt relieved, "There is no news yet, the Fu family has already reported the case, and County Magistrate Zhu went to the Fu family with the police."
"Ah Sheng, you go on to Yang Xu's place. I'll take a nap first." Zhan Feiyu retreated into the slightly warm bed and couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the astonished He Sheng.
Yi, I must feel guilty to death for him!"
Uh... He Sheng couldn't help but sympathize with Yang Xu who left.
The bedroom became quiet again. Zhan Feiyu relaxed his head and closed his eyes. He thought he still couldn't sleep, but after a while, he fell into a dark and sweet dream.
…
Main courtyard living room.
Qiu Zongxi sat on the main seat and looked at Yang Xu who was standing aside with his head lowered as if he knew his mistake. He laughed angrily and said mockingly: "I didn't just break into the girl's boudoir majestically, now I'm scared."
?I told you it’s too late.”
Asking the maid to bring tea, Qiu Zongxi took a few sips and his anger finally dissipated a little, "Gu Qingzhou has been such a little disciple all these years. He is like a precious one, but he is far away in the capital, but he has traveled thousands of miles to give it to me.
I sent you a carriage and a carriage of things, including food and clothing. You also ate those things. Yang Xu, Yang Xu, you pick up the bowl to eat, and then you curse your mother when you put the bowl down. You are ungrateful, and I am talking about you!
"
In fact, although Academician Gu also sent a carriage of things, the rest were sent by Yin Wuyan, just in the name of Academician Gu.
"The Yang family has not yet recovered, and you have offended the cabinet bachelor to death. Do you think that the Holy Father must win over the Yang family? Yang Xu, you are so capable. The Yang family has been falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason for more than eight years, and it is not easy for them to be redressed.
, well, it’s all destroyed in your hands.”
Qiu Qiuzong looked at Yang Xu with a look of disbelief on his face and couldn't help but sneered, "What do you think means having power over the whole country? One person is inferior to ten thousand people? I'll tell you why the little girl doesn't go to the capital because Gu Qingzhou doesn't want her.
go!"
"When she went to the capital, not to mention the children of the aristocratic families, even the princes and grandsons in the palace would have an idea of the little girl. Marrying her would mean gaining the support of Bachelor Gu, the loyalty of half of the courtiers, and the support of the world's literati
, which is equivalent to the future prince!"
Outside the house, Yang Shoucheng was standing under the eaves blowing the cold wind. Listening to Qiu Zongxi's scolding voice, Yang Shoucheng stood upright, with no trace of worry on his cold and cold face.
Yang Xu was scolded so much that he couldn't even lift his head. He wanted to die to apologize. Qiu Zongxi felt comfortable and put the tea cup on the table. "A son does not teach his father's fault. Are you going to be a doorkeeper outside the door?"
Yang Xu was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw Yang Shoucheng walking in from the door with snowflakes on his body, "Dad."
Ignoring his shocked son, Yang Shoucheng took the lead in saluting Qiu Zongxi, "Uncle Qiu, Yang Xu has made you worry so much."
Qiu Zongxi waved his hand. He had already said everything that needed to be said. He couldn't blame Yang Xu. He had grown up in Shitou Village over the years. He had seen and experienced very little, and his mind was normal.
Yang Shoucheng looked at the frightened Yang Xu, his expression was too calm, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know you are wrong?"
"Dad, I know." Yang Xucheng repented sincerely. Grandpa Qiu was right. He shouldn't have been so impulsive and reckless. If Xiaoyu really wanted to kill someone, there was no need to do it himself.
"You made three mistakes." Yang Shoucheng looked at Yang Xu who was standing upright and continued seriously: "One mistake: After hearing the news, you were controlled by emotions and lost your reason and judgment."
"Second mistake: You and Xiaoyu are friends, but you doubt her. Yang Xu, put yourself in her shoes. If what happened today happened to you, would Xiaoyu think you were the murderer? Or should she find her immediately?
To reveal the murderer who framed you?"
Yang Xu's face turned pale and he lowered his head again, especially when he thought of Zhan Feiyu's cold and distant expression when he left the bedroom, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Looking at the wilting Yang Xu, Yang Shoucheng showed no mercy, "Three mistakes: If Xiaoyu is the murderer, if you rush over to question him so recklessly, you will not only alert the snake, but also put yourself in danger."
After a while, Yang Xu went out in disgrace. He originally wanted to go to Zhan Feiyu, but when he thought of her catching the cold, he turned and walked towards the kitchen. Dad was right, if you want to apologize, you must be sincere.
Just saying a few words without pain or itching is of no use.
In the room, Qiu Zongxi finally said, "What's the situation over there with the Fu family?"
"Fu Zuo has performed an autopsy. The girl from the Fu family was strangled to death, and the perpetrator was Zhou Shuyao, who stayed at the Fu family last night..." Yang Shoucheng has been in Xiangwu County in the past few days, so he got the news immediately.
, but he didn’t expect that the little girl from the Fu family would die.
As for the accident in Meigu yesterday, Yang Shoucheng did not deal with it immediately after learning about it. Yang Xu fell into the water to save others. The Fu family used this to force the marriage. Yang Shoucheng had many ways to make the Fu family give up this idea.
Yang Shoucheng just ignored it because he wanted to temper Yang Xu. Who would have thought that such an accident would happen, and a little girl would die like this? It seems that in order to deal with the Yang family, the person behind the scenes is
No matter how hard it is, Fu Langhuan's life is nothing.
After listening to Yang Shoucheng's words, Qiu Zongxi squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, looking at Yang Shoucheng who was still calm and calm, "Is there any clue? Who did it?"
As Qiu Zongxi said before, Zhan Feiyu would not do it himself if he wanted to kill someone. The same words apply to Zhou Shuyao. How could the eldest daughter of the Zhou family strangle Fu Langhuan to death herself? I just don't know what is going on.
What are the means?
"The Fu family secretly went to the county prison before." Yang Shoucheng did not hide it.
Since the news of the Yang family's revolt came out, Yang Shoucheng contacted the Yang family's old troops. All the troubles in Xiangwu County were under his control. It can even be said that he knew the entire situation of Longyou Road at this moment, so he paid
No matter how secret the family's actions were, Yang Shoucheng could not hide them.
