Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "This time I took over an island. It's quite large, and I want to develop it. If it doesn't work out, we can retreat to the island."

Gu Sinian looked at Bai Wanwan and said:

"You've thought it through much more thoroughly than I have. The location this time is a bit remote, and Wei Mingli is very smart. He hid the food in a temple on the top of the mountain and sent heavy troops to guard it.

If he hadn't sold food to Qin Biao this time, I wouldn't have known about this place. I can be considered to have followed the clues and found the source."

Bai Wanwan didn't expect that a prefect would have so much food in his hands. She felt very upset.

The people in several counties were so poor that they had no food to eat and were on the verge of starving to death, but these officials were eating too much.

Gu Sinian looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Bai Wanwan nodded and said:

"I just can't stand seeing these people exploiting the people. Aren't the people human beings?

Why do they do this when they could be good officials?"

Gu Sinian sighed and said:

"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. We have connections and money.

However, many of those county magistrates rose to power from poverty, and if they were not greedy, they would have no way to explain to their superiors.

As for these prefects, they also have to report to their superiors."

Bai Wanwan snorted coldly and said, "No wonder Su Zheng has become more and more unscrupulous in recent years..."

"His disciples are spread across the government and the country. Even we can't compete with him now, and he is also involved with people from other countries." Gu Sinian said lightly.

They and Su Zheng are already incompatible, and Su Zheng is just helping Su Daji.

Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "Let's take it step by step! A single spark can start a prairie fire. We are still young and there is still time to fight them."

Su Daji is powerful, so they are not powerful?

Bai Wanwan said softly, "I've made the explosives. Brother Si Nian, I'll take you to see it."

Gu Sinian asked, "How powerful is this explosive compared to a musket?"

"You'll know when you see it." Bai Wanwan beat around the bush.

Gu Sinian walked to the reservoir and heard a loud "bang". He was so scared that he threw Bai Wanwan to the ground.

Bai Wanwan got up from the ground and said, "Ouch! Brother Si Nian, this is dynamite. Is it powerful?"

Gu Sinian stared at the area shrouded in black mist and was stunned. After a long while, he stammered, "This... is this explosives? This is simply too terrifying."

He couldn't even imagine how horrible it would be if this were used on the battlefield.

Bai Wanwan smiled and said, "This is our killing weapon, but it cannot be easily exposed. After all, it can easily cause heavy casualties."

This thing cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. It is something that transcends time and space.

Bai Wanwan was actually unsure about this either. Gu Sinian looked at her seriously and said, "Don't use it. This matter is something only we know about. If the higher-ups find out, it will be disastrous."

Suddenly, I saw Milk Tea flying over and said, "I found someone using a carrier pigeon to send a message..."

Bai Wanwan saw a white pigeon flying over, its eyes full of vigilance.

Bai Wanwan directly picked up the note next to the pigeon. It was written in English and described the process of making explosives.

Bai Wanwan snorted coldly and said, "Sure enough, there are spies from the enemy country, but these people were trained by our village, how could they infiltrate!"

Gu Sinian gritted his teeth and said, "These people always find a way to coerce or bribe."

Soon, the man was brought up, his face full of fear. Bai Wanwan looked at him calmly and said, "Zhao Jinyun, you are not from Daqi!"

Zhao Jinyun looked at her and said, "Miss, I was wrong. Please forgive me! I am indeed not from Da Qi. I was forced to do this."

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said:

"Everyone has their own frustrations, who doesn't feel helpless?

But knowing this, you are willing to betray us. Do you know how much loss this will bring?"

Zhao Jinyun looked at her and said:

"You are the high and mighty master, how can you understand our helplessness?

My family has been captured by them, and if I don’t do what they say, I’m finished, but who can understand? "

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said:

“From the first day you entered the village, I told you that you could come to me if you encountered any difficulties.

I consider you family, and that's not a valid reason."

Zhao Jinyun gritted his teeth and said nothing more. Bai Wanwan said calmly, "Do you think that if you don't speak up, you won't be able to find out the truth?"

Naitang returned soon. Bai Wanwan listened to its report and said, "So that's how it is. You've been working really hard for your brother-in-law, haven't you?"

Zhao Jinyun looked at Bai Wanwan in horror, not understanding how Bai Wanwan knew.

Zhao Jinyun is also a fool. He found a woman from Parthia and got married in this mountain village. He is not limited to any country.

But this woman is a shrewd one, and she has a trouble-making brother-in-law, and this time it was because of this brother-in-law.

This brother-in-law likes to gamble. This time he lost several thousand taels of silver and borrowed money at high interest rates. For a family like theirs, several thousand taels of silver is something they can never earn in their lifetime.

Zhao Jinyun's monthly salary is only ten taels, and that would take decades to pay off!

The brother-in-law was afraid of death. When the debt collector came to his house, he directly said that his brother-in-law was very powerful and had invented a kind of gunpowder, which was extremely powerful.

These people said he was bragging, but there was actually a man from the Parthian Empire who listened to him and said that if they gave him the recipe for gunpowder, he could save several thousand taels and even give him ten thousand taels.

How could this brother-in-law endure it! He lobbied Zhao Jinyun directly. At first, Zhao Jinyun was reluctant, but his wife knelt down and threatened him with their son, so he finally had to obey.

He also felt that the investigation would never lead to him. Their team consisted of about 100 people, but they didn't expect to be discovered before they even started.

Soon Bai Wanwan captured his wife, his brother-in-law, and his two sons.

Zhao Jinyun was frightened: "Master, I never meant to harm you. This was all implicated by my brother-in-law. Please give me another chance!"

Bai Wanwan looked at him coldly and said, "If I hadn't discovered this today, do you know how many people would have been killed by you?"

Others in the team also said:

"That's right! Isn't this an attempt to kill everyone?

Zhao Jinyun, who saved you when you were in the most difficult time? You can't be a person without conscience.

Zhao Jinyun shouted loudly:

“Haven’t I done enough over the years?

I worked hard to learn various skills, had trouble eating and sleeping, but in the end, wasn't I working hard for her?

We are all slaves, she is the master, we are all selling our bodies, and we will never leave here in this life."

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said:

“When I saved you, I told you that if you wanted to leave, you could leave.

Just talk to me properly instead of using this method."
