Just when Fu Ji couldn't stop thinking about the future, Hong Tao, thousands of miles away, was not idle. It's just that unlike Fu Ji, he is now in a lawsuit.

A young craftsman who was in charge of the coke kiln drank some wine in the evening, and went into the tunnel at the bottom of the kiln in a daze to avoid the rain, and the drill became forever, and the next day the successor found that the young man's body was cold.

But there were no wounds all over his body, and there was a hint of a smile on his face, if it weren't for the blue face, I would have thought he was dreaming of something.

"Officials and craftsmen all say that there is evil here, and Wen Xiaosan died so weirdly because his soul was taken away." Hong Tao got the news relatively late, because Zhu Bajin thought that a dead person was nothing, and losing money would be over.

These days the horses are not idle, and they have to work in the workshops and wax gardens almost every day, and this little thing is no longer troublesome. didn't admit that after everyone saw the appearance of the deceased, rumors spread everywhere, and even the most energetic Hu family father and son were a little vague.

No matter how difficult the technical problem is, you can find a way, but when it involves ghosts and gods, mortals can't do anything. Seeing that the people on the coke kiln side were panicking, and even the honeycomb charcoal workshop was saying that this place was unlucky, he realized that things were far from being as easy as he imagined, so he hurriedly ran back to report to the colt.

"Have the families of the deceased been comforted?" When Hong Tao heard that he was dead in the passage at the bottom of the kiln, there was nothing unusual about his appearance, and his expression was very serene, and he immediately knew what was going on.

Now that you know, you don't need to panic, the most important thing at the moment is not to find the reason, but to comfort the family. As long as the family members do not sue the officials, in accordance with the principle that the people do not prosecute the officials, this matter will not become a big problem.

"Wen Xiaosan's parents died early, and there is only one sister who helps in the fish market outside Xinzheng Gate, so I should already know it at this moment......"

In addition to the apprentices brought by the craftsmen, the other laborers in the Wujin line were all found by Zhu Bajin, and many of them were family members or acquaintances of his apprentices, so they didn't need to think carefully to know the general family situation.

"You rush back first to appease his sister, don't be stingy with money, no matter who is responsible, after all, it is a human life. Actually, I am to blame for this, and I forgot to tell everyone to pay attention to carbon monoxide poisoning. Alas, Lao Ma is right, capital has come to this world since it was beaten, and blood is dripping from every pore......"

Thinking that in the future, there would be more workers like Wen Xiaosan who would die next to mines, factories and machines due to various accidents, Hong Tao felt a little powerless.

Compared with the progress of science and technology, the knowledge of safety protection may be more difficult to popularize, and if you want to improve, you have to rely on human lives to fill in. This is what he knows, if he doesn't know, he will deal with it by Zhu Bajin, and it is likely that he will give some money in the end.

They weren't ruthless, they didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so. And the further back they go, the more money they have in their pockets, the more they will feel that this is nothing, and that humanity is also.

It's a pity that I don't understand the insurance industry, and I don't have the ability to be an actuary, otherwise I would have made personal accident insurance or something in the Song Dynasty, and I would have made money!

"Who...... Who is Capital? He's the poisoned, the evil, the evil! ”

What is carbon monoxide and what is capital Zhu Bajin was dizzy when he heard it, but his associative ability was not bad, and he instantly found a very suitable logic. It's a pity that he is a little timid, and when he talks about the mysterious thing that can make people die of laughter unconsciously, his mouth stutters a little.

"Evil you are a big family! Don't make noise with me, go to business quickly, if you let me know that you are too harsh and bullying to Sister Wen, don't blame me for going to your house with capital at night! ”

Hong Tao is no longer in the mood to lecture with this fool, he is indeed a little tired these days, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired. Fu Ji has been gone for more than a month, and there is no news, so let's say I don't care about it, how can it be.

She is not only a person, but also an expectation of herself, if this method is not feasible, then the whole plan will have to be adjusted, and I don't know if the eldest brother and Wang Anshi have more patience. If not, wouldn't I have worked in vain?

But no matter how tired you are, you have to go to the scene to see, this matter can't be too public, and you can see how afraid people are of the unknown at this time.

Once you let others know that there is a so-called evil here, you can't hire anyone no matter how much you are paid. If you think about it carefully, this matter is really not smaller than Fu Ji, no way, tired of life!

"You two stay at home with Chenniang, the place where the officials are going is not suitable for children!" Now Hong Tao has three and a half female secretaries, and the Green Lotus sisters adapt quickly and learn quickly, even surpassing Lian'er in mathematics.

It's not that the two of them are much smarter than Lian'er, the main thing is that they are hardworking, if Lian'er can divert the energy of snacking to studying, it is really not an extravagant hope to win a Fields Math Medal. It's a pity that she doze off when she sees the math problem, and if it weren't for the temptation of the account, I'm afraid the abacus would have to be thrown aside.

But she has the advantage of being bold, the stupid thief is bold, she likes to listen to haunted stories, the more scary the better, and after listening to it, she has no reaction except for a giggle.

Compared with her, the Green Lotus sisters and Chen Niang are much inferior, and they dare not go out of the house when it gets dark, which makes the princess and Mama Wang complain more than once, and strictly forbids herself to tell them the broken story called Liaozhai again. So they are obviously not suitable to see the dead too early, even if they die laughing.

No one dared to touch Wen Xiaosan, who had been dead for most of the day, and he was still lying in the passage in a sleeping appearance, and the craftsmen were all hiding far away, and even the forbidden army generals who heard the news and came to see the excitement did not dare to step forward. Everyone spontaneously formed a circle, intending to see what the mad colt had to say.

"Official, is this person really dead? Could it be that she fell asleep after eating a poisonous apple by mistake like the princess of Fanbang mentioned by the official? As Hong Tao expected, Lian'er did not have any fear after seeing the dead man, and gave her judgment.

"Quite possibly...... The princess needs a prince, and the silly boy with the stupid maid is not bad, why don't you kiss him? ”

In order to confirm whether Wen Xiaosan was really dead, Hong Tao walked over and squatted in front of him, stretched out his hand and touched the other party's carotid artery, and took the pulse, he was indeed dead, and he was completely dead.

"Phew!" Even if Lian'er was stupid, she knew that her officials were laughing again, so she spat hard, no longer paying attention to the dead people, but probing her brain into the underground passage of the coke kiln.

"Hey, don't come in, this man is poisoned, and the gas comes from the ignition."

Lian'er's action startled Hong Tao, she was really fearless of the ignorant. The air pressure is a little low these days, there is no wind, and if the concentration of carbon monoxide in the underground passage is high, people will have to lie down for a few minutes after entering.

"Poison gas...... How could a slave not smell or see it? Lian'er was not convinced, but her steps had slowly moved backwards.

"Another day, the officials will do another experiment to show you, there are many things in the world that are odorless and tasteless. Now go find a few dogs or sheep first, the officials are of great use, go and return quickly. ”

The ancients paid attention to hearing as false and seeing as believing, and they were more afraid of what they could not see or touch, and if they wanted to solve their doubts, they had to find a way to let them see.

No one can see carbon monoxide, but its effects can be expressed through other mediums. Hong Tao plans to do a field test, in this way to show everyone that there are no ghosts and gods on the construction site, and there are no evil spirits, as long as the ventilation is guaranteed, it is safe.

Lian'er got serious and the efficiency was quite high, she didn't run far, but brought the housekeeper dog in the shipyard over, or didn't give the money for nothing, whoever disagreed threw down a sentence: The gambling profits of my family's official dragon boat race have not been repaid, and I am waiting for you to ask for money!

There are three dogs in total, two black and one yellow, and I can't tell what kind of dog they are, they are stronger than the earth dogs, and it is estimated that the dogs that are too cowardly can't be put in the barracks to watch the door, so they stupidly follow Lian'er and shake their heads, thinking it's a good thing.

Hong Tao was much kinder than Lian'er, and immediately grabbed a handful of dried meat from Lian'er's bag and gave it to them. Before cutting off the head, you have to give a full meal, and you can't ask for Qingqing's life if you don't mention it in black and white.
