The First Tyrant of Daxia

The officers and soldiers, as well as some confidants, looked embarrassed and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Elder Feng could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, this batch of ironware was handled by Xiao Jing, Master Xiao."

"The Ministry of Revenue paid for it and I bought it from him."

Qin Yun frowned. This name sounded very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

But his expression was still stern.

"Who is this person? I don't care who he is, he must pay a heavy price for this!"

"Somebody come!"

"Immediately arrest this man overnight and seal off his iron workshop!"

Elder Feng said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, you forgot that this Young Master Xiao Jing is the Queen's cousin."

"He donated a lot of food and money to Guanzhong, including the first time he mobilized troops against Xiliang."

"Will there be any discrepancy in this matter?"

Chang Hong also advised: "Yes, Your Majesty, I also think that the Xiao family has strict family rules and it is impossible for them to do such a thing on purpose."

"fart!!"

Qin Yun roared, his eyebrows raised.

"The emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"

"No matter how great his contribution is, he still has to take responsibility for this furnace explosion!"

"Do it now. I won't give face to anyone!"

Seeing this, Feng Lao Chang Hong didn't dare to say anything more and immediately sent people to arrest Xiao Jing.

Qin Yun said again angrily.

"Pass on my order. This matter must not be spread outside. All the soldiers who were injured or killed will be compensated double the amount by the imperial court!"

"All the equipment from now on will be strictly inspected. If there are any problems again, I will kill them all!"

"Humph!"

There was a shock all around, and everyone knelt and shouted, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"We thank your Majesty for his grace."

Qin Yun looked at the sky. It was already very late.

"Chang Hong, you will take charge of the aftermath. Jin Zhu, come with me!"

After saying that, he took the lead and walked into a large tent.

Jinzhu followed in.

Qin Yun rubbed his brows and got straight to the point: "How much sesame oil can there be in half a month?"

Jinzhu swallowed hard and said with embarrassment: "This furnace explosion basically ruined all the efforts of the first half of the month."

"I guess... the amount of sesame oil won't be too much. It's enough to defend a city, but not enough to attack an army."

Qin Yun clenched his fists, making loud bangs.

The evil spirit on his body almost extinguished the candlelight in the tent.

"That bastard Xiao Jing!"

"If I don't peel off a layer of skin from you, I won't be called the Son of Heaven!"

He cursed angrily, it was his own people who caused the problem at the critical moment.

Upon hearing this, Jinzhu felt cold all over and his scalp went numb.

Even the Queen's cousin, who is also Your Majesty's meritorious official, would be in trouble if he committed a crime, let alone other people.

"That's it!"

"Since it has become a foregone conclusion, I will not force it. We can take our time with the sesame oil."

As he spoke, he turned around abruptly, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

"What progress have you made on the other matter I asked you to do?"

"That loud noise just now was pretty good, and powerful enough."

Hearing this, Jin Zhu's eyes lit up and he looked at Qin Yun as if he were a god.

He said with great admiration: "Your Majesty is so smart. Hemp oil can actually cause a big explosion."

"You didn't see it just now. The steamer exploded, and the gas was enough to blow away more than a dozen war horses! It was so horrible!" He described it vividly, saliva flying, and seemed very excited.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, have you ever come across something like this before?"

Qin Yun's mouth curled up slightly. Of course I have seen it.

He now suspected that the sesame oil produced by the Liriod people, after being refined, had become similar to gasoline, although he did not understand the principle behind it.

But as shown in the movies, this thing can cause a big explosion.

If it is guided, produced, and used in border wars, it would be a "dimensionality reduction strike"!

Not to mention attacking Xiliang, Qin Yun even dared to have the ambition to attack the other half of the earth and lead the Han people to the peak.

Then a few hundred years later, the country would not be bullied so badly.

But he couldn't say it, and no one would believe it in this era.

"I'm just guessing."

“I didn’t expect it to come true by accident.”

"Jinzhu, tell me honestly, are you sure you can control the power of the furnace explosion just now?"

Hearing this, Jin Zhu hesitated and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have confidence!"

"But this is a huge project. Even with the ancient method of making sesame oil, we still need to grope our way forward, which may... cause great losses."

"For example, tonight..."

He raised his head and glanced at Qin Yun tentatively.

Qin Yun gave him a reassurance: "Go ahead and do it. I'll take care of you!"

“If you need any kind of funding, you can ask for it.”

"Even if the research doesn't produce any results, at least we can refine sesame oil, so it's worth it!"

Hearing this, Jinzhu's expression relaxed a little, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

"kindness."

"Do your best. Study the power of the furnace explosion. Only you and I know it. No one else knows it."

"What you are touching now may be the future national treasure of Daxia. Do you understand?"

Qin Yun looked at him meaningfully and said.

Jinzhu's whole body trembled, and she was inexplicably infected by him, feeling a surge of blood flowing backwards.

"It's your Majesty!"

"I will bow my head and die!"

Qin Yun nodded and looked into the darkness.

When the book is in use, I hate less!

If I had learned physics and chemistry well in my previous life, I could have directly built tanks and cannons in this life. How awesome would that be.

There is no need to worry about semi-hot weapons such as incendiary bombs.

"I'm leaving now. You can take your time with things here."

"I will give you a satisfactory answer for your broken finger. Even if the king of heaven comes, I will peel off his skin!"

Qin Yun finished speaking, looking extremely resolute, and then left.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Farewell, Your Majesty!"

Jinzhu knelt down and was moved.

At this moment, he was more determined to work for Qin Yun. First, it could bring good news to the mountains of the gnat tribe, and he could also use his expertise in researching sesame oil.

Most importantly, Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and worth following!

The next day, early in the morning.

The loud noise caused a huge uproar the next day!

The entire imperial capital was talking about it. Some said it was thunder, some said a building collapsed, and some said it was God who was angry.

There are many different opinions, and it has become a topic of conversation after dinner.

Although the general public was unaware of the situation, a lot of news had already spread among the top officials in the imperial capital.

Among them, Xiao Jing had already heard the news and learned that the imperial guards were looking for him. He was so scared that he fled the mansion immediately.

Early in the morning, he disguised himself as a eunuch, sneaked into the palace, and asked Xiao Yuxiang for help.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Xiao Jing was dressed in eunuch's clothes, with dark circles under his eyes. He looked as if all his energy had been drained away, and it seemed that he had not slept all night.

He cried loudly and fell to his knees.

"Sister, please save me, save me!"

"I'm only twenty years old, I don't want to die!"

Xiao Yuxiang frowned, her demeanor dignified yet friendly: "What's wrong with you? What's the matter with death?"

"Hurry up and tell me, this is disgraceful!"

"Have you declared your entry into the palace?"

Xiao Jing shook his head, grabbed the hem of Xiao Yuxiang's skirt, and cried, "Cousin, how dare I declare it? I came in secretly!"

"Your Majesty, he wants to kill me!"

"If I die, what will happen to my family? You watched me grow up."

Xiao Yuxiang's beautiful eyes widened.

He exclaimed, "What did you say? His Majesty wants to kill you?"

"What happened?"

"Did you get into any trouble?"

Her eyebrows immediately raised and she felt a little angry. Qin Yun would never kill innocent people.

"I, I, I..." Xiao Jing stuttered, unable to speak for a long time, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

"I don't!"

"Sister, someone has framed me. You are the queen, and His Majesty will definitely listen to you. Please save me, save me!" he begged frantically.

Xiao Yuxiang was about to say something.

Outside the hall, a powerful voice exploded.

"Hmph, bitch."

"Framed you, tell me, who framed you?!"
