Chapter 56: Young Master Qin
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Are you going to the saltpeter mines?" she asked impatiently.
Saltpeter is a good thing. It can not only be used to make gunpowder, but also to make ice.
If you want to get rich with it, the God of Wealth will be the first to express his disagreement and will force you to fall into a pile of gold ingots.
Looking at her shining eyes, the villain raised his lips slightly and said, "The saltpeter mine is naturally yours, but I'm talking about something else."
Shen Wan looked puzzled.
"The saltpeter mine is several miles ahead, deep in the mountains, and a large amount of gunpowder is in a cave on the mountain." Xie Mubai frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "And this inn is located between the two. If it is simply for transporting gunpowder, it seems unnecessary to hire seven or eight waiters."
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a gunpowder processing plant."
"If you can find it, don't you think you'll be rich?"
When Shen Wan heard this, she immediately became excited.
If nothing else, she had to go just for the gunpowder-making equipment!
"Leave it to me."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Wan walked out excitedly.
Looking at her jumping around, Xie Mubai couldn't help but smile.
She likes money so much?
Not to mention anything else, the money she got from the kind-hearted Lin alone is enough for her to use for the rest of her life, not to mention that the national treasury is also likely to fall into her hands.
It seems that she is having a very hard time in the Marquis of Xiangyang's Mansion.
At this time, the inn was already in chaos and no one paid any attention to Shen Wan.
Seeing that all the old housekeeper's men were dead, the group of convicts began to rob the property here.
Hu Dahai, who had no food, waved his hand and ordered the officials to move away all the edible things here.
Shen Wan took advantage of the chaos to search everywhere, but found no clues.
Could it be that the villain guessed wrong?
While she was daydreaming, she suddenly saw the woodshed.
She thought about it and pushed open the shabby wooden door.
One step after another.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound under my feet.
Shen Wan’s heart tightened.
She quickly bent down and tapped it lightly a few times with her hand.
Sure enough, there was nothing underneath.
She was delighted and quickly pulled away the straw, and an extremely thick bluestone slab appeared in front of her.
With a little effort, the heavy stone slab was lifted up, revealing a long staircase.
The surface of the stairs is extremely smooth, and you can tell at a glance that people often go down here.
Shen Wan walked down the stairs without even thinking about it.
Like the caves in the mountains, this place is also illuminated by night pearls.
After walking a few steps forward, an underground gunpowder processing plant suddenly appeared in front of us, with hundreds of barrels of gunpowder that had not yet been delivered piled up in the corner of the wall.
Shen Wan waved her hand, and all the equipment and gunpowder that had not yet been transported away entered the space.
It feels so good to be rich!
Even if gunpowder is not produced in the future, this set of equipment would probably be worth a lot of money if sold.
Of course, she would not let go of the night pearl on the wall.
A night-shining pearl that big is more than enough to buy the farm of Mr. Lin, the great philanthropist.
Shen Wan walked forward and reached out to take off the night pearl.
Suddenly, the wall turned sharply, and a dark secret room appeared.
Shen Wan was startled and subconsciously took out the silenced pistol.
Just as he was about to take action, he saw several people lying on the floor of the secret room.
They were motionless, like soulless puppets.
With the help of the light of the night pearl, Shen Wan walked forward cautiously.
I saw that those people had their eyes closed and were barely breathing.
Judging from their clothes, they should be passers-by and must have been robbed by those bastards.
"Someone come, someone come quickly!" Shen Wan's eyes turned and she shouted loudly.
Anyway, everything here has been taken away, so even if someone comes, they will only see an empty cave.
Hearing the sound, Hu Dahai immediately brought people over.
When he saw the people in the secret room, his expression changed.
"So what the hunter said was true." Shen Wan pretended to be shocked, "They really do make human meat buns here!"
Hu Dahai's eyes were blazing with anger, and he spat viciously: "What a bunch of beasts!"
While cursing, he asked the officers to carry the man to the guest room.
There were four people in the secret room, one of them was dressed in gorgeous clothes and should be a young man from a wealthy family.
The other three were all dressed as servants, and must be his retainers.
Shen Wan checked and found that they had no injuries on their bodies, they just fainted from hunger.
She asked Hu Dahai to get some sugar, mixed it with some spiritual spring water and fed it to them.
After a while, the man in brocade clothes slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw Shen Wan's dark face, he opened his eyes wide in anger: "Bitch, kill or cut me as you please!"
"Even if I turn into a ghost, I will seek revenge on you!"
His voice was too weak. The originally domineering threat now sounded soft, like a spoiled child. Even he felt a little ashamed when he heard it.
"Don't be afraid, we saved you and killed those bandits." Shen Wan said as she pulled Hu Dahai over. "See, he's an official and will protect you."
Looking at the dirty official uniform on Hu Dahai, the anger in the eyes of the young man in brocade clothes disappeared completely and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are you going?" Shen Wan asked curiously.
The young man in brocade clothes spoke hoarsely and tiredly, "My surname is Qin, and I live in Chenliu County."
"A few days ago, I brought a few servants back home, but we encountered bandits on the way."
"They killed two of my servants and made them into meat buns."
"If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet that girl, I might have become the prey of those bandits now..."
Having said this, he began to cough violently.
"Don't think too much, it's all over." Shen Wan listened and comforted him, "I'll go make some porridge for you, drink it and then rest."
After hearing this, Master Qin's eyes turned red.
After Shen Wan finished cooking the porridge, she asked the official to deliver it, and then she went back to show off her work to the villain.
Of course, she was just talking about it and would not really let him into the space to visit.
Looking at the smug look of the clown girl, the smile on Xie Mubai's face deepened a little.
All the joy he had along the way was probably given by her.
"Do you like money so much?" he asked with a smile.
Shen Wan nodded vigorously: "Yes, how could there be anyone in this world who doesn't like money?"
After hearing this, Xie Mubai secretly calculated in his mind.
Early the next morning, Hu Dahai informed everyone to set off after breakfast.
Hearing the sound, Master Qin also came out with a few servants.
When she saw him, Sun, who was squatting in the corner eating steamed bread, suddenly had bright eyes.
Her eyes widened in surprise: "It's you?"
"You are..." Young Master Qin looked at the woman in front of him for a long time, but did not recognize her.
When Sun saw this, she couldn't help but get anxious.
She quickly stood up and said anxiously, "I'm my cousin from the Sun family in Beijing!"
"When you were little, you came to my house to play and broke my grandmother's jade Guanyin statue."
After hearing this, Master Qin finally recognized her: "It turns out to be my cousin!"
Having not seen each other for several years, and seeing Sun dressed like this, he really couldn't connect the beggar-like woman in front of him with the glamorous young lady in his memory.
When she heard that this young man in brocade clothes was a relative of the Sun family, Shen Wan didn't even look at him. She handed the bowl of porridge prepared for Young Master Qin directly to the person next to her: "You eat it."
"Really... give it to me?" The man seemed a little unconvinced.
Shen Wan turned around suddenly and found that it was Scarface who was looking at her with red eyes.
Just as she was about to retract her hand, the bowl of porridge was already in the other person's hand.
"Young Madam, I'm not a human being." Scarface choked with tears and said, "If there is an afterlife, I will work like a slave to repay you!"
These two sentences again!
In less than a day, Shen Wan almost vomited after hearing these two sentences!
If he had said the third sentence with something original, she would have forgiven him long ago.
Shen Wan flicked her sleeves impatiently and went straight to find Xie Mubai.
After dinner, the group finally set off.
The sky after the rain is especially blue, the clouds are especially white, and even the hot wind blowing in your face feels especially friendly.
After experiencing this heavy rain, everyone still felt that the sun was more lovely.
Everyone was in a good mood, the only unhappy person was Sun.
Everyone was in a light coma at the time and could hear clearly everything that was happening outside.
Regardless of whether she was forced or not, the fact that she was willing to give birth to a baby for the bandits still made everyone despise her.
The Zhenguogong Mansion is full of loyal and brave people, yet there is such a shameless daughter-in-law!
"You'd better ask the young lady for some medicine." Dengtu Zi's mother sneered and looked at her with a vicious look. "What if you really get pregnant with that bandit's child?"
Her son's tragic death made her transfer all her anger to Sun.
Although the journey of exile was hard, the whole family had lived well before.
But ever since this bitch secretly met her son, bad things have happened one after another.
If things go wrong, my son might be harmed like that by this bitch’s lover!
