Chapter 91 Making a Telescope
As she spoke, she ordered the small world spirit crystal stone to be divided into four equal parts, and then each part was polished into a round crystal with a concave and convex mirror surface.
What she made was just the simplest telescope. She rolled two rectangular pieces of paper of appropriate hardness into a cylindrical shape, glued them together, and finally fixed the previously polished wafer on top.
"alright."
Zhu Mingqing put it in front of his eyes and tried to look at it. Not only that, he could also see the flowers and plants on the distant mountains clearly.
It's certainly not as sophisticated as modern ones, but it still works.
Coming out of the space again, Zhu Mingqing began to observe every corner of the villa opposite through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
If you look from the outside, it's just like what you saw just now.
But when he looked over from a high place, Zhu Mingqing was stunned.
From afar, there are mountains behind the villa, and the whole forest is lush and green. A few scattered figures can be vaguely seen walking on the path.
The villa is also filled with various towering trees and sparsely populated rooms, but each courtyard covers a very large area, as if it is a small house hidden in the jungle.
If there is no one to lead the way, it would be really difficult to find this hidden villa.
There were indeed quite a few people in the yard, some seemed to be training, and some were busy carrying things.
She took out the paper she had with her.
The little world spirit started from the far left and explained the supplements, especially the guards, when they would change shifts, which route they would take, and how many people there were.
Zhu Mingqing held a telescope in one hand and wrote and drew on paper with the other.
In a moment, a simple topographic map of the villa appeared on the paper.
…
"Not leaving?" Luo Huai said in disbelief when he heard Luo Fu's voice.
Luo Fu nodded and asked curiously, "Second brother, what's with that expression on your face? We've been walking for many days and nights. Wouldn't it be better to rest tonight?"
Luo Huai is very meticulous and naturally has more things on his mind.
He said, "Go and find out what happened and why they suddenly stopped traveling."
Luo Fu pouted and said, "What could have happened? I don't dare to disturb Mother." Then her eyes lit up and she said, "I'd better go find Third Brother. He's always the most informed. Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he ran out.
Luo Huai sighed helplessly. He looked at his injured leg, tried to stand up, and slowly walked to the door. Just as he was about to push the door open to go out, he was almost bumped by Luo Fu who was running towards him.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Luo Huai saw that she was sweating profusely and pulled her back. "Did you find out?"
Luo Fu shook her head anxiously: "I searched all the rooms, but couldn't find any trace of Third Brother. Where could he have gone?"
Luo Huai frowned: "There's nothing there, mother?"
"No."
"Have you asked Lord Liang?"
Luo Fu nodded immediately and was about to speak when she saw Zhu Mingqing coming back from outside.
"Mother." She shouted immediately, then waved her hands vigorously: "Second brother wants to see you."
Luo Huai, who was wondering where Luo Xiao would go: ...
Zhu Mingqing walked in exhausted and was about to change her clothes to go find Wen Baolu when she paused and said, "Go back to your room and wait for me."
"Second brother." Luo Fu turned her head. "It seems like mother is quite anxious."
Luo Huai was worried about Luo Xiao, so he didn't care too much: "Let's go back to the room first."
…
Lianghe Room.
When Wen Baolu heard that Zhu Mingqing had returned, he immediately rushed over.
Only when he saw Zhu Mingqing standing in front of him unharmed did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly to him.
Wen Baolu stepped forward and said, "Master Liang and I went there twice but didn't find you. Where did you go?"
As soon as Zhu Mingqing sat down, he caught the key word and asked, "Twice?"
Wen Baolu: "I was afraid something might happen to you, so after I came back, Lord Liang and I went to look for you. Later, when you didn't come back for a long time, Lord Liang reported you to the authorities, and we... went again."
When Zhu Mingqing heard the words "report to the police", her eyes darkened slightly. She never thought that they would actually report to the police.
Seeing that her expression was not right, Liang He asked, "But what's the problem?"
Zhu Mingqing first asked, "What's the situation at the government office?"
Liang He told the prefect everything about his visit to the prefect's mansion. He thought that Prefect Liang would not care, but he sent someone else later.
He sighed, "But in the end, nothing was found."
Zhu Mingqing confirmed with him: "So you didn't send anyone here again, right?"
Liang He nodded.
Zhu Mingqing's expression eased slightly. It seemed that Governor Liang did not take this matter seriously.
That would be perfect for them.
We have a simple blueprint of the villa. We can go there again tonight and then we can take action.
but……
Zhu Mingqing turned to look at Wen Baolu: "If Baozhong is rescued, what will you do?"
Wen Baolu, who was always concerned about his brother's safety, had never thought about this problem.
Now that my uncle has been murdered and I'm being targeted, I definitely can't stay in Zhending Prefecture anymore. So why not take this opportunity...
He was silent for a while and then said solemnly, "I will do whatever you want, Madam."
If I could really rescue Baozhong, what would it matter if I had to work like a slave for the rest of my life?
Zhu Mingqing blinked and smiled, "I never force anyone to do anything. After we rescue them, if you don't want to, you can take Baozhong away."
Wen Baolu's heart moved and he looked up in disbelief.
Zhu Mingqing raised the corners of his lips slightly, looking very friendly.
"What are you talking about?" Liang He frowned as he saw the two of them playing dumb.
Everything should be done in moderation.
Zhu Mingqing cleared his throat and recounted his findings this afternoon: "The people who kidnapped Luo Xiao are from Qinjiazhuang. They were bandits who were recruited. They live in a very secluded village in the northern suburbs of the city. There are probably over a hundred of them..."
Liang He's expression changed: Bandits? Over a hundred people?
That would be a big trouble.
Wen Baolu asked nervously, "Then...are you sure Baozhong and Luo Xiao are in there?"
Zhu Mingqing was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I'm not sure."
If the person is rescued, Lord Liang will definitely set off immediately.
Wouldn’t all the suffering of Luo Xiao and Bao Zhong be in vain?
As well as the Feng family, they must let them know that the Ming family is not easy to mess with.
There's also the issue of illegal copper mining...
Now that I know the news, I have to find something for the male protagonist's family to do, so that they don't keep keeping an eye on the Luo family.
"I'll go over and investigate again tonight." Zhu Mingqing looked at the two people across from him and instructed, "Just wait for my news at the inn. Don't do anything else, especially don't contact the authorities."
The two were puzzled: "Why?"
She chuckled, "Do you think that the Qin family could build such a large manor on the outskirts of the city? They are just bandits who have been recruited. If they don't have some backing, how can they survive in Zhending Prefecture?"
Wen Baolu's eyes widened: "So, they are very likely to be connected with the government. What's worse, the relationship is very close!" At the end, his heart was shocked.
If that's true, then reporting to the police that day was extremely stupid!
