Chapter 632: Yan Zhuo is a traitor
Yan Xiaoduan and Yan Siye rested for a day, and prepared to deal with the traitor the next day.
The reason why Fourth Master Yan asked Pei Yan to drive the carriage was simple: he wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge and humiliate Pei Yan.
Tangli did not agree.
She knew the grudge between Fourth Master Yan and Pei Yan, so she naturally sided with Pei Yan.
She was just about to ask others to drive the car when Pei Yan spoke first.
"Master Fourth has invited you sincerely, and I, Pei, am delighted to accept." As he spoke, he looked at Master Fourth Yan with his affectionate peach blossom eyes.
Fourth Master Yan: Ugh! He was the one who clearly wanted to humiliate Pei Yan, so why was he the one who was disgusted?
Tang Li smiled. She was still worried that Pei Yan would be bullied, but in fact, Pei Yan's level was much higher.
Yan Xiaoduan and Yan Siye took the carriage driven by Pei Yan to the Firearms Department.
Firearms Division.
Everyone was busy.
In fact, today, there is a distinguished guest in the Firearms Department, the emperor in disguise.
Zhao Shu said that the new firearm was about to be completed, so he came to take a look.
This new type of firearm is called a cannon. It projects gunpowder and can carry out long-range attacks, and is used for sieges, etc.
If the Great Zhou had this thing, it would be invincible in any attack!
"Father, look, this is a cannon, and this part is..." Zhao Shu introduced the structure of the cannon.
The emperor listened attentively and nodded from time to time.
"Mr. Yan hasn't rested during this period. He has been working day and night. It will be finished soon." Zhao Shu said.
In fact, Mr. Yan rarely comes here, and it is the craftsmen from the Firearms Department who are busy!
However, after all, the name of Yan family is useful, and Yan family is a living signboard. Also, no matter whether Mr. Yan is greedy or lazy, he is still a member of the Yan family, and the future firearms will depend on him, so Zhao Shu has to please him, so he said this.
The emperor looked at Mr. Yan and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yan."
Yan Zhuo said neither servile nor arrogant: "Your Majesty is too polite."
Outside the door, someone suddenly reported: "Sir, two people are outside, claiming to be from the Yan family, and they are looking for..." The man paused. The original word from the outsider was "traitor", so he changed the address to "Looking for Mr. Yan."
Zhao Shu was surprised to hear this. Another member of the Yan family? Looking for Mr. Yan? Could they be an old friend of Mr. Yan?
He was happy in his heart. The more Yan family members there were, the better, and it would be best if they were more capable and could be used by him!
Yan Zhuo was also surprised. Could it be that his aunt had already taken the position of head of the family? Had she sent someone to help him?
The two men, each with their own thoughts, went to the front hall to meet the visitor.
The emperor was an emperor after all, and he had airs and would not meet everyone. He was also curious about who the visitors were, so he stood at the back of the living room and wanted to listen to what they said.
After a while, the people outside were led in.
There were two people coming, one was less than twenty years old, between a teenager and a young man, and the other was less than thirty years old, with an elegant temperament.
Zhao Shu observed the two of them.
When Yan Zhuo saw the two of them, his expression suddenly changed. How could it be them?
"Please take a seat, both of you," Zhao Shu said, "Are you members of the Yan family?"
Fourth Master Yan said, "This is the Young Master of the Yan Family, and I am Fourth Master Yan."
Yan Xiaoduan held his head high and chest puffed out, and was serious and stern. He had a certain aura and was quite intimidating.
Young Master of the Yan Family?
He only knew that Mr. Yan was a member of the Yan family, but he didn't know what his status was in the Yan family. However, he was definitely not as good as the young master of the Yan family.
Zhao Shu's eyes lit up as he looked at Yan Xiaoduan.
Yan Xiaoduan was annoyed to death by Zhao Shu. He had been Lao Tang's servant for more than three years, so he naturally knew that Zhao Shu was Lao Tang's enemy.
This man is hypocritical and vicious, and Yan Xiaoduan hates him very much.
But thinking that he was the young master of the Yan family and represented the Yan family, he did not show any emotion on his face and sat there with a blank expression.
"You two are here..."
Yan Xiaoduan said, "Deal with the traitor."
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment.
Fourth Master Yan explained, "Yan Zhuo is the traitor of the Yan family. He stole the blueprints of the Yan family's firearms and made them."
Zhao Shu quickly realized that the traitor they were referring to was Mr. Yan.
Mr. Yan is a traitor?!
Impossible!
If Mr. Yan is a traitor, then he is not trying to get close to the Yan family, but is offending the Yan family!
Firearms could no longer be produced.
His father's trust and appreciation for him will also disappear.
Then all his efforts during this period would be in vain.
He will fall from the clouds!
He couldn't accept this.
"They're talking nonsense!" Yan Zhuo said coldly, "Your Highness, don't trust them! I'm a member of the Yan family, they're fake, kick them out!"
Yes, they are talking nonsense!
Just as Zhao Shu was about to speak, a voice rang out...
"How can you two prove that you are members of the Yan family and that Mr. Yan is a traitor?" At this time, a majestic-looking man walked out from behind. It was Emperor Zhou.
Zhao Shu's face turned pale.
He originally wanted to deal with these two people directly, but he forgot that his father was still there.
Yan Xiaoduan didn't know Emperor Zhou, but from Zhao Shu's attitude towards him and his demeanor, he guessed his identity.
"There is a letter written by the head of the family." Yan Xiaoduan said.
Yan Xiaoduan took out a letter and handed it over.
Emperor Zhou took the letter and began to read it.
The letter mentioned that the young master of the Yan family had brought back a traitor, and there was a seal at the end of the letter.
This letter is actually a token of trust to confirm the identity of the visitor and to facilitate the process.
Emperor Zhou looked at the mark, thoughtful.
He had seen the Yan family's seal, which was very similar to the one on this letter, but he couldn't tell the authenticity.
However, to him, it didn’t matter whether they were real or fake Yan family members, as long as he could make firearms for the Great Zhou.
Of course, we cannot offend the Yan family, otherwise, if they get angry, they might teach other countries how to make firearms.
Zhao Shu also read the letter.
"A letter can't prove your identity," Zhao Shu said. "How about you build a firearm and show us?"
Yan Xiaoduan scoffed, "Wishful thinking!"
Fourth Master Yan said, "Our Yan family has a family rule that gunpowder cannot be used to make firearms, so the young master refused."
"Then how do you prove that you are members of the Zhenyan family?" Zhao Shu asked.
"Yan Zhuo is a traitor. He stole the blueprints. He doesn't know how to make firearms." said Mr. Yan Si.
"But he created the Sky-shaking Bomb." Zhao Shu said.
"The sky-shaking bomb is the basic one. Everyone in the Yan family can make it, but the others are difficult." said Master Yan Si.
"Nonsense, Mr. Yan is making cannons."
Fourth Master Yan looked at Yan Zhuo with a half-smile: "Can you make cannons?"
Yan Zhuo lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Mr. Yan will certainly do it!" Zhao Shu said.
Emperor Zhou spoke at the right moment: "You each hold your own view, making it difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood. Of course, we in the Great Zhou have great respect for the Yan family. If anyone does anything to harm the Yan family, we will certainly unite against them! How about this, let's use facts to determine truth from falsehood."
Emperor Zhou looked at Yan Xiaoduan and Master Yan Si and said, "You two should stay in the Great Zhou for a while. The customs and people of the Great Zhou are quite interesting. I will send someone to accompany you." Emperor Zhou then looked at Yan Zhuo and said, "Mr. Yan, how long do you think it will take to build this cannon?"
Yan Zhuo couldn’t really say for sure, as he only had a vague understanding of artillery!
He thought for a moment and said vaguely, "A few months. A cannon is such a difficult firearm..."
"Ten days," Emperor Zhou said. "In ten days, I would like Mr. Yan to build a cannon to prove my identity as a member of the Yan family. Mr. Yan, do you think this is feasible?"
Emperor Zhou's tone was very firm.
Yan Zhuo felt dizzy and wanted to refuse...
Zhao Shu understood his father and knew that at this moment, he had no power to refuse.
Moreover, if this is rejected, wouldn’t it be a direct statement that one cannot build artillery?
The artillery was almost completed, and Zhao Shu felt that ten days would be enough.
Zhao Shu said: "Mr. Yan, you are a member of the Yan family, there is no problem."
If you shake your head, you are not a member of the Yan family.
Yan Zhuo didn't know how he ended up being roasted on the fire.
Yan Zhuo was forced to do something and could only nod.
This was how the matter was settled.
Yan Xiaoduan and Yan Siye were treated as guests of honor and were invited to stay in a prosperous courtyard.
"The Emperor of the Great Zhou is truly an old fox." said Fourth Master Yan.
What he said was to completely exonerate himself and not offend the Yan family.
They really had no objection to this way of handling things.
"Yan Zhuo definitely won't be able to build a cannon in ten days," Yan Xiaoduan said. "Even if he were given ten months, he wouldn't be able to do it."
"Then wait and see." Fourth Master Yan looked at the people coming and going on the street, his eyes uncontrollably fixed on a few beauties. "There are so many beauties in the Great Zhou, and their skin is so delicate. Compared with the beauties in the Great Qi, they have a unique charm..."
"Fourth Uncle, beauty can be harmful. You'd better be careful and don't let others take advantage of you." Yan Xiaoduan reminded.
Fourth Master Yan nodded: "I understand."
But my heart was eager to do something.
