Chapter 1763 I'm Not Afraid of Trouble
Shopkeeper Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Before, a businessman named Wen did a business with me for medicinal materials, but he only paid a deposit. I gave him the medicinal materials but didn't receive the remaining money, so I came to Yongzhou City to find him."
After saying this in one breath, Shopkeeper Wang looked at Wan Shufang cautiously, his face showing embarrassment: "I didn't expect that he had a relationship with both princes. I was worried that he would turn against me, so I took Su Hao and hid away."
His words clearly explained the reason why he was here, and then he stared at Wan Shufang.
Seeing that her expression didn't change much, as if she didn't mind this matter, Shopkeeper Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "I have been hiding for more than a month, so I really don't know if other places can raise a large amount of saltpeter as you wish."
Wan Shufang understood as soon as she heard it. It turned out that Wen Baicao had bought a lot of saltpeter before and cheated Manager Wang because of it.
She looked at Manager Wang with sympathy, then stroked her chin and thought, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a good idea.
She frowned with worry. Seeing this, Shopkeeper Wang thought for a moment and said, "If the general's wife doesn't mind, you can cooperate with Prince Qing through me."
"As far as I know, most of the herbs that Wen Baicao bought were shipped to Qingzhou, and my cousin is in Qingzhou. He sent me a message saying that King Qing was using saltpeter to make a weapon called fire bomb."
"This weapon is extremely lethal. If I continue to sell medicinal herbs to Wen Baicao, I will bear huge consequences."
Having said this in a serious tone, Shopkeeper Wang quickly expressed his opinion to Wan Shufang.
"Although I am a businessman, I also have my own bottom line. The Qing King's cooperation with the enemy country is clearly suspected of treason."
"I can tell right from wrong, how could I be used by him? So I came to Yongzhou City not only to collect money, but also to interrupt the cooperation with Wen Baicao."
"I understand what Shopkeeper Wang meant." Wan Shufang listened to his emphasis and quickly spoke, "But I never thought Tu Yuanzhou could make fire bombs. It seems that he is really Wen Baicao's child."
"Wen Baicao is busy doing so much just to help him. It's a pity that we ignored him before and only focused on the struggle between the two princes. That's why we almost got dragged into the gutter."
Wan Shufang was in a heavy mood, but she did not show it on her face. She gently comforted Manager Wang with soft words, then hurried back to find Chen Changli and told him what had happened.
"So the fire bomb possessed by the Sixth Prince was a bait deliberately thrown out by Tu Yuanzhou." Chen Changli made the final conclusion.
The prince tapped his palm with his fingers. "I was wondering why Lao Liu hid it so well. It turns out that someone else gave it to him."
After he finished speaking, his brows twisted unconsciously into knots, because the appearance of the fire bomb would really cause countless casualties.
He is too soft-hearted to allow such weapons to appear on the battlefield.
"We have to find a way to stop him from making more fire thunder eggs, otherwise the world will become more chaotic, and maybe the hell on earth like the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China will reappear."
Wan Shufang hesitated for a moment, and said to the prince: "In fact, its secret recipe is not difficult, so when it appears, no one can stop it from appearing on the battlefield. What we can do is to research better weapons so that we can fight violence with violence."
The prince was a little confused, as if he did not expect Wan Shufang to say that.
"Your Highness, don't blame me for exaggerating. This could indeed come true, and the appearance of this weapon can also be a deterrent. Therefore, we have to face it with a normal mind and not demonize it." Wan Shufang emphasized.
Chen Changli quickly agreed: "Your Highness, my wife is very insightful. She said so, which shows that this matter cannot be simply dismissed. We need to consider it carefully."
Seeing that the couple took the matter very seriously, the prince immediately said, "I will consider your words."
Wan Shufang had more ideas, but she was a doctor, and apart from her medical skills and the hospital space, she didn't have much to rely on, so she could only suppress those thoughts in her heart.
"I will find a way to deal with the saltpeter issue. You and your wife don't have to worry." The prince thought for a moment and then reminded again.
When Wan Shufang heard this, she immediately said, "Your Highness, let us handle this matter."
Chen Changli nodded: "Lord Lin is guarding Yongzhou City, so I am not needed, so Shufang and I can go outside to transport saltpeter."
"If my husband and I work together, we will definitely be able to transport a batch of saltpeter in three days." Wan Shufang immediately agreed.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you." Seeing that the couple were determined to take on this matter, the prince couldn't refuse. After thinking about it, he gave half of the people he could use to them.
Wan Shufang wanted to refuse, but Chen Changli took it, thanked the prince solemnly, and took her to see Wu Qiaoyue.
After making sure that she was in good condition, Chen Changli told Chen Ping to take good care of her and not to make her angry, and then he took Wan Shufang back to Fulu Town.
But he only took a quick look outside Fulu Town and then went to the village that Hanyi mentioned.
Ye Xuan seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. When he saw the couple coming, he quickly led the villagers to greet them and asked, "Why are you here just now?"
As soon as something happened in Fulu Town, he sent people to inquire about the situation.
When he learned that Fulu Town was destroyed and Bai Lian and his companions were missing, he was extremely anxious. Fortunately, news from Yongzhou City came over.
Knowing that Bai Lian and the others had gone to Yongzhou City, Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He also wanted to take the villagers there, but was worried about its safety.
After all, he knew very well how dangerous Wuling Mountain was.
Without the Phoenix Gu, he really didn't dare to take the risk.
He could only wait here, hoping that the prince and the others would remember him.
"Something happened in Yongzhou City, and we were delayed." Chen Changli explained quickly, "I heard from Bai Lian that my grandchildren are all here. How are they doing recently? Are they causing any trouble?"
"What's the fuss? They are very well behaved." Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan glared at Chen Changli unhappily and took the couple to meet Chen Xiu and others.
The grandparents and grandchildren met and had a warm moment together. Then Chen Changli asked Ye Xuan to take everyone away, and he took Wan Shufang to the foot of Wangxi Mountain.
According to the people of Yongzhou City, there was a town where the couple planned to buy some medicinal materials and secretly mix saltpeter into them.
"Be careful." Ye Xuan wanted to stop them. After all, no one knew what strange things were in these mountains. But seeing that the couple was confident and calm, he could only turn his dissuasion into instructions.
"Don't worry." Chen Changli handed the grandchildren to him and sent them off for a while before returning to find Wan Shufang. He found that she looked unhappy. "What's wrong?"
Wan Shufang pursed her lips and said, "As soon as Gu Mingyue goes to Yongzhou City, she will know the cause of Yu Yao's death, so I am a little worried about her."
Chen Changli pondered for a moment and said, "The boss is here too. He will handle this matter well. If he fails to handle it well, the trouble that Gu Mingyue can bring will only be directed at the boss. Then we just need to keep an eye on the boss to reduce the trouble."
"I'm not afraid of trouble, I'm just worried that she will be unable to get over it." Wan Shufang was very conflicted.
