Chapter 446 Turns out to be a master
Looking at the soft and tender little hand, the leading man in black puffed out his chest disapprovingly.
The expected dusting did not come, but Shen Wan was seen hitting a huge piece of saltpeter heavily.
With one palm strike, the hard surface of the saltpeter cracked into countless tiny cracks.
Soon, the huge amount of saltpeter turned into countless tiny pieces and could no longer be cleaned up.
The men in black looked at this and felt a terrifying chill creeping up from their ankles to every trembling hair.
how so?
How could this little woman in front of me, who is as thin as a wisp of smoke, have so much strength?
If this palm hits the body, even if the person doesn't vomit blood and die immediately, he will be torn to pieces.
I never thought that the daughter of Marquis Xiangyang would be so terrifying!
No wonder the prince insisted on marrying her, it turns out this woman is a hidden master!
Thinking of this, the blood color on the black-clothed man's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is the first time, and the last time." Shen Wan's face was gloomy, and her voice was cold. "I don't like to joke with strangers, so don't use this lame excuse to fool me."
"If it happens again, I won't let you off easily!"
Upon hearing this, the men in black wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and nodded in agreement.
Xie Mubai looked at it, a cold smile on his lips: "Young Madam is kind and easy to talk to, but I can't."
"After you carry your things back to the cave, each of you will receive twenty whips!"
He's not a good guy, never was.
They are trying to separate him and the little woman, it would be strange if he would let them go easily.
What's more, as the master, how can he be easily controlled by a group of subordinates!
Whether it was for Shen Wan or for himself, he had to punish them!
After hearing this, the men in black kowtowed and expressed their gratitude.
Although these twenty whips were not friendly, they also knew clearly that this was an extra favor from the young master.
"Let's go." Xie Mubai didn't even look at them, but pulled Shen Wan's tender little hand distressedly.
This little woman is really something, she is so heavy-handed.
What if my hand gets cut by the gravel after this palm strike?
After hearing this, Shen Wan asked, “What about debugging the equipment?”
Although the equipment is a bit simple, it will not work without professional debugging.
"I can do it!" The leading man in black said quickly, "When I was a child, I followed my father to make explosives, and the equipment I used was similar to this."
After hearing this, Shen Wan nodded; "Okay, you guys move slowly!"
Since we have professionals, we don’t have to worry too much.
Before she finished speaking, she took the villain's hand and walked straight forward.
With such a huge pile of saltpeter, it would probably take those men in black a long time to move it, right?
Shen Wan thought randomly in her heart.
After getting away from the cave, she used instant displacement and returned to the inn without anyone noticing.
I have to say, they have been doing too much lately.
Just as the problem with the gunpowder factory was solved, good news came from Li and Xie Murong.
Early this morning, some orphans and widows from the city came to seek refuge with them.
Needless to say, it must be because of Xie Lian.
It's freezing cold and everyone is poor, but there are still many people who want to find a place where they can have enough food and clothing.
The orphanages and nursing homes have sturdy houses, good food, and people to do laundry and cook for you. Only a fool wouldn't want to go there.
What a bullshit that it’s hard to leave your homeland.
For people who have trouble making ends meet, as long as they can live a better life, they don’t care about the quality of their environment.
However, Boss Gao had secretly warned them, so how could they dare to go?
They didn't think that Shen Wan, with more than a hundred fugitives, would be a match for Boss Gao, who had been operating in Lanyang for many years!
Now that "Boss Gao" has changed his tone, everyone is naturally looking forward to it.
After hearing the good news, Shen Wan smiled and looked at Feng Da who came forward to report the news: "That's great. By the way, is there anything else missing over there?"
"That's enough." Feng Da shook his head.
Ever since the death of his wife, he has become a different person.
He was depressed and serious every day, and seemed to have aged ten years.
Shen Wan thought for a moment and smiled, "I have some candies here. You can take them to the children later."
"There's some bacon in the kitchen, take some with you."
Upon hearing this, Feng Da frowned.
"But there is not much bacon left in the kitchen." He hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
If all the meat is given to the orphanage, what will the prince and the young lady eat?
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but laugh: “What’s the big deal.”
"We are all adults, it's okay to eat a few bites less."
"But the elderly and children need to eat better."
She is not a saint, never has been.
Xie Mubai was also well aware of this.
However, they had just arrived in Lanyang and were in urgent need of winning people's hearts and gaining a good reputation for loving the people like their own children.
Otherwise, why would the people support them without regrets when they rebel in the future?
After hearing this, Feng Da couldn't help but feel ashamed.
He originally thought he was not a bad person, but in front of this little woman, he was really not worth mentioning.
"Go ahead." Xie Mubai glanced at him and said calmly, "If you need anything over there, just come over and tell me."
Feng Da nodded and walked towards the kitchen in the backyard.
Ran Qiu didn’t dare to refute Shen Wan’s decision.
So, she could only give half of the bacon, which was already limited, to Feng Da.
It has to be said that under the joint governance of Wang Qi and Xie Lian, Lanyang City is now peaceful and the people do not have to worry about food, clothing and other expenses.
The only thing that bothered them was the blocked road outside the city.
Although there is food and drink in the city, it is not a problem to hold out until next spring.
But when everyone thought about being trapped in a jar, they still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Have you heard? It was the Third Prince who ordered that the state government not be allowed to control us!"
"How is this possible?"
"Why is this impossible? Don't you know why the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was confiscated?"
"So you mean the Third Prince wants to kill us all and bury us with him?"
"Of course. The Third Prince wasn't a good person to begin with. I heard he bullied men and women and had a chaotic private life. The old tutor couldn't stand it anymore and reported it directly to the Emperor."
For a time, rumors spread throughout the city, and the third prince's reputation plummeted from the clouds to the bottom.
And all of this is thanks to Xie Mubai.
He needed a good reputation, so naturally he had to tear off the hypocritical cloak of the Third Prince.
Shen Wan naturally knew all about the rumors outside.
She ignored it and just secretly kept an eye on the situation at the gunpowder factory.
She had just returned from the gunpowder factory that day, but saw Ranqiu and Da Niuniang busy cleaning the house and making cakes.
"What are you doing?" Shen Wan looked at it and asked in surprise.
In fact, the inn was already very clean, and she really didn't see the need for a thorough cleaning.
After hearing this, Big Girl's mother couldn't help but laugh: "Young Madam, the New Year is almost here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan came back to her senses.
Before we knew it, it’s the end of the year!
