Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

"Mr. Wen has worked hard these past two days." Yu Cheng said with a smile.

How dare Manager Wen Tuo say that he worked hard: "Madam, you're too polite."

"Mr. Wen, has Nanny Jiang taken it over?"

Upon hearing the question, Wen Tuo hurriedly said: "Manager Li went to pick him up early in the morning. I wanted to pick him up in person, but I was afraid that Xue Lang wouldn't let me get close. Aunt Jiang has already arranged to live in the side courtyard. However, Madam Do you need to go to the County Lord’s Mansion to make arrangements on the day you return?”

Yu Cheng blinked. Does it mean anything to her if she doesn't come back this time? "Let's talk about this later! I'm going to see Aunt Jiang first. You ask the kitchen to stew a pot of meat for Xiaobai. The little guy likes it."

"Yes, ma'am."

This title sounded really unfamiliar. Yu Cheng glanced at Lu Yanzhao, who was smiling contentedly, that's all!You'll get used to it after listening to it a few times.

On the other side, the nanny, who had met the county lord and asked for his blessing, also set off back to the palace to report to the queen.

The smile on Mammy's face couldn't stop and she said: "Don't worry, Queen, the County Lord and the Marquis are very loving. I think it won't be long before we get good news." The Mammy explained today's affairs in detail. Informed the Queen.

The Queen burst into laughter when she heard this, nodded her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I know it. Fortunately, there are no elders in the Hou Mansion watching, so they just let the young couple do whatever they want."

Although she said this, she couldn't stop the smile in her eyes. Before, she was worried that Sister Cheng would be too cold-tempered, but now that the young couple is in a good relationship, she is naturally happy.

Dingguohou Mansion

"I'll go with you later!" Lu Yanzhao has not officially met Grandma Jiang yet. Sister Cheng regards Grandma Jiang as an elder, and of course he will respect her in the same way. "But before that we have to go to the study. Xiao Heng is waiting there. We have to go and hear what happened in the workshop last night."

"That's fine." Yu Cheng nodded.

When the wedding banquet was in full swing last night, the Liuli Workshop on the outskirts of the city was also surrounded by a festive atmosphere, and the city continued to send food and drinks there.

Some people think that at this time, the winery's defense will be relaxed, and no one will be wary of drinks and food.

It's not difficult to manipulate drinks and food, as long as you have money, there's nothing you can't do.They bribed the waiter in Yu's tavern and put the sweat medicine into the wine jar. When the people in the workshop were drunk and unconscious, the people guarding outside could enter the workshop.

But when these people entered the workshop, all the people who thought they were stunned actually woke up.

The thief shouted "No! I've been tricked!" but he had no way to escape.

Xiao Heng pried open the visitor's mouth overnight and rushed back to the Hou Mansion early in the morning.

"They said that people from their Qian and Sun families had evil intentions because they were unhappy with the owner of the workshop for not selling them colored glaze, and some things were found on their bodies."

Xiao Heng presented something that looked similar to the firecrackers set off yesterday, but the outer shell was a bamboo tube, which was now broken into two halves, but the black powder in the middle was different from ordinary fireworks.

A trace of evil flashed in Lu Yanzhao's eyes. The other party clearly wanted to destroy the entire Liuli Workshop. Once something happened, everyone in the workshop would not be able to escape. The workshop was located on the outskirts of the city, so rescue would take a lot of time.

Surprise flashed in Yu Cheng's eyes, and he stepped forward and pinched the black powder with his fingers: "Is this... black gunpowder?" Is black gunpowder so popular in this world?

"Do you know Sister Cheng? It's called a bamboo thunder. It looks similar to a firecracker, but it's much more powerful. Once they throw the bamboo thunder into a high-temperature kiln, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lu Yanzhao asked Xiao Heng, "Are you sure they are from the Qian family and the Sun family, and not scapegoats who were pushed out?"

Xiao Heng replied: "Because I have been watching for a while, my subordinates can confirm that although these people are related to the Qian family and the Sun family, the people behind them are actually the people from the branch that was separated from the Shang family. Things like Lei are not difficult for the Shang family to obtain."

If there is a shadow of the Shang family, then the fourth prince may also have a share.

After hearing this, Lu Yanzhao explained to Cheng: "Because the Shang family has mines and iron smelting workshops, they have several Taoist priests who can refine the so-called elixir."

Yu Cheng immediately understood that the original gunpowder was accidentally produced by these Taoist and alchemists while refining the elixir.Even though the imperial court had control over gunpowder, mines were already indispensable for it, and the so-called Taoist priests could prepare it themselves.

"It concerns your workshop. It's up to you to decide how to deal with these people." Lu Yanzhao grabbed Yu Cheng's hand and asked.

Xiao Heng twitched his lips expressionlessly. Why didn't he know that the Marquis could be so attentive to his wife in front of subordinates like them?

Xiao Heng tried his best to control his eyes and glance at the Marquis and the County Lord, with a straight face and thoughts racing around.

"Send them to the officials. Send the arrested people and their confessions to the officials. Regardless of whether they are related to the Sun family and the Qian family, we can't find any other evidence. In this case, it is better to send them to the officials. In the important place of the capital, they actually held With things like Bamboo Thunder, I think the imperial court will not be kind easily." Although Yu Cheng wanted to send these people to Xiaoya as nourishment, this would only vent his private anger, but making it public would scare the monkeys, at least in the short term. Someone is daring to take action.

Since the Sun family and the Qian family are willing to fight for the fourth prince, they can only accept the result of confiscating their families and annihilating them.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, Sister Cheng." Lu Yanzhao said softly, then raised his eyes and said coldly to Xiao Heng: "Xiao Heng, do as Madam said."

"Yes! I will do it now." Xiao Heng accepted the order with his fists clasped, but he was muttering in his heart: It turns out that the Marquis is also a person who changes his face quickly!

"Bring Guo Liang with you." Yu Cheng added.

"Yes." Xiao Heng understood. Although he wanted to take advantage of Guo Liang's big mouth, Guo Liang, as the deputy commander of the City Patrol Department, was able to take the credit.

After that, Xiao Heng resigned with great discernment. If he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to bear it.

Seeing that Yu Cheng was still looking at Zhu Lei, Lu Yanzhao came closer and asked, "Sister Cheng, are you interested in Zhu Lei?"

"Just curious." Yu Cheng raised his head and smiled, just as his cheek brushed against Lu Yanzhao's lowered chin.She was stunned for a moment and continued: "What occasion is this thing probably used for?"

I remember that in my previous life, there was a weapon called Thunder Thunder that was used on the battlefield. I wonder if this thing has the same lethality?

Lu Yanzhao still couldn't resist the temptation and kissed Sister Cheng on the face. The closer she got to Sister Cheng, the more she could smell the fresh scent of grass and trees on her body. At that time, Sister Cheng was sweating with the same smell. The smell is even more exciting.

Lu Yanzhao quickly moved his gaze from Sister Cheng's face to the bamboo thunder, and said: "It is used for mining and blasting mountains, and it is also used on the battlefield. However, it is not easy to control and can accidentally injure one's own people, so it is not used much. . This thing is too dangerous, it’s better for Sister Cheng to touch it less."
