Chapter 240: Unfortunate Words
The location of the house is very good, it is a high-end residential area in Qing'an Fucheng, and the surrounding people are either rich or expensive, I don't know if it is a coincidence, next door is the palace of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The yard allocated to Li Yi was the largest, but he didn't live in it, this place was less than a quarter of an hour away from Ruyi Fang, and he was used to living there, so there was no need to move around.
The old party was obviously very satisfied with this new home, and after seeing their house, the melancholy caused by moving away from Liuye Village quickly disappeared.
Although it is still far from the big mansion of his beautiful wife and concubine that he imagined, at least he has taken a big step towards his goal, progress is a good thing, and a bright future awaits them.
There is no need to worry about those green forest bandits coming to find trouble, no matter how brainless the guys are, they don't dare to gather so many people at the same time to spread wilderness in the city, and there are not so many people, when they meet the old party, they will die ugly.
The formula for gunpowder has been handed over to Li Mingzhu, this thing has not been seen, and he will never hand it over for the rest of his life, but since the matter has reached this point, he can only pretend to be generous.
As for what they would do with it in the future, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know.
However, this is the way things happen in the world, accidents always come so suddenly, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.
On the second day, Li Yi, who was continuing to cultivate at home, was hurriedly called by a catcher, and half an hour later, appeared in a village near Fucheng.
Li Mingzhu had already arrived before him, and was standing under the courtyard wall somewhere at the moment, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
On the way here, the catcher had already introduced him roughly what had happened.
This place is called Liujia Village, and their current location is the home of a landlord in Liujia Village.
This morning, the landlord's subordinates came to the yamen to report the case, saying that a strange thing had happened in the family, and several arresters came to investigate with the subordinates.
The matter is not big, it is not small, the three cows of Liu Yuanwai's family, two died strangely last night, the ploughing cattle have been filed in the government, and they will be slaughtered privately but they will be imprisoned, and two deaths in succession must have an explanation, if Li Yi did not ask for leave, he should have brought the officials to check it early this morning.
"What's wrong, something is wrong?" Li Yi walked up to Li Mingzhu and asked with a little confusion.
Something like the death of two cows, Li Mingzhu may take care of it when she is idle, after all, it is her nature to be nosy, but she just got the gunpowder formula yesterday, and now she should not have this idle time.
"Look, isn't this ......" She looked at Li Yi and pointed around the collapsed courtyard wall, her tone a little surprised.
Li Yi looked in the direction of her finger, and was also slightly stunned.
A part of the courtyard wall collapsed, and the root of the wall was sunken in, and a large black pit appeared, Li Yi was slightly stunned, pinched a handful of soil on the ground, put it between his nose and smelled it, and smelled a familiar pungent smell.
This time, even he was a little surprised in his heart, he wouldn't ...... Is it really that a coincidence?
Turning his head, he looked at Li Mingzhu and nodded slightly.
"That's right."
……
……
"The two adults, even if they give the villain great courage, the villain will not dare to kill the cow! I really don't know how they died! ”
A fat man in a foreign suit cried a handful of snot and tears, and the sound was full of tears, which was really sad for those who saw it, and tears for those who heard it.
At this time, of course, he had no way to remain calm, and if this matter could not be explained clearly, the blame would be attributed to him, and he would really be finished.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, what happened last night, let's get the truth." Li Yi was a little upset by this guy's crying, and waved his hand and said.
Now the problem is not the problem of two dead cows.
I don't know which talent actually got the black powder out, if this matter can't be explained clearly, there are many people who will be unlucky.
Seeing the county lieutenant speak, the fat man immediately stopped crying.
"My lord, here's the thing, yesterday Xiaomin just married a concubine in the third room, and drank a few more drinks with the guests at night, and when he woke up, the time had passed, and Xiaomin took off his clothes......"
"This paragraph skips ......"
"The villain was planning to ......, and suddenly heard a shocking sound outside, and the frightened people softened at that time......"
"This paragraph also skips ......"
“……”
"When the people in the house went to look, two of the cows in the cowshed died, and even the courtyard wall was missing." The fat man was still a little apprehensive when he thought of this at this moment, and said in horror: "Some people said that when they got up at night, they saw the fire in the cowshed, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky, splitting the courtyard wall, and the two cows were also taken away by God......"
"Xiaomin swears that in the future, he will eat fasting and chant Buddha, build bridges and pave roads, and do more good deeds for the villagers, just ask God to see that the people are old and young, and don't rain thunder......"
Liu Yuanwai knelt in the yard, kept kowtowing, thinking about last night's movements, which also scared him half to death, and he was scared at that embarrassing time, whether he could have a happy life in the future is also a question.
"It's definitely gunpowder." Li Yi turned his head to look at Li Mingzhu and whispered.
Her Royal Highness pressed her eyebrows, and her eyes looking at Li Yi were extremely complicated.
Yesterday he just said that from the point of view of "probability", it can be a day or a few decades, and someone will always discover the mystery of gunpowder------ and he has really said it, and it is the worst possibility.
"Look at what I did, I didn't do it."
Li Mingzhu glanced at him, of course she knew that it was not Li Yi who did it, and no one could come out when the city gate was closed at night, and besides, he could offer the formula without a little selfishness, and there was no injustice or enmity with this Liu Yuanwai, and there was no need to do such a thing.
For now, it is necessary to find out the person who knows the formula of gunpowder as soon as possible, in case it is used by someone with intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Think about it carefully, you have a grudge against everyone on weekdays, don't leave out a single one." Li Mingzhu looked at Liu Yuanwai and asked with a frown.
"No, no, Xiaomin has always kept to himself, is kind to others, and has no enemies." Liu Yuanwai looked puzzled, shook his head and said.
"Is it your fault to admit that the death of the two cows was your fault?" Her Royal Highness the Princess's face was a little unkind.
"Zhang Yuanwai from a neighboring village had a quarrel with Xiaomin last year because of the ownership of a piece of land, and I am afraid that he has always held a grudge."
"Liu Ergou, he is a farmer in the village, and he has a grudge against Xiaomin."
"To tell you the truth, a few days ago, I bumped into the private affair with the lame aunt of the Liu family next door, although I paid him the usual money, but I always felt that he looked at Xiaomin very strangely these days......
“……”
was glanced at by Li Mingzhu, Liu Yuanwai's amnesia was immediately cured, and he talked endlessly.
The person who had already had her next to him had written it all down, and after a while, Liu Yuanwai said with a bitter face: "Two adults, apart from these, Xiaomin really can't remember." ”
The person who recorded it twitched the corner of his mouth, and there were already more than twenty names written on the paper.
"Master, since yesterday, the third lady has not eaten, just now the cook brought the food over, the third lady still did not move, no matter how much we persuaded it......" A round-faced girl ran in from outside the door, saying as she ran, and when she saw a few people in the house wearing official clothes, she was immediately stunned there.
Li Yi felt in his heart that this third lady was afraid that she was also a person with a story.
However, in this era, there are many such things, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker are all, and the probability that a woman can marry a wishful husband. The low ones can be ignored.
Liu Yuanwai laughed dryly and said: "Let the two adults laugh, Xiaomin, the third lady, has been in the Goolan for a long time, and just entered the house yesterday, and may not be used to it, Xiaomin will slowly adjust it in the future." ”
"Tick bar?" Li Yi and Li Mingzhu's eyes looked over at the same time.
