Li Yuanzhao stared at the white coat in shock and fear, and quietly took a step back.
The house is filled with a terrible stench, and there is a faint smell of alcohol?
Something is wrong... everyone here looks weird!
It would be better to send him to labor reform, right?
What on earth was Lao Fang thinking? Did he bring these people up?
Xiao Tao stomped her feet in anger when she heard this: "What did the master tell you? You are actually abusing prisoners here. If you use prisoners today, will you use civilians tomorrow? Wait for the master to come back and get punished!"
The man in the white coat was obviously a little scared, and he quickly explained: "Miss Xiaotao, don't worry, they are absolutely safe!"
"Penicillin is quite safe. We have tried it ourselves... Now that so many wounded have come, we don't want to give up this opportunity! Just this once... Please be kind... Once the results of this batch of wounded come out, we will have succeeded!"
"We have many doctors watching over here! If anything goes wrong, we will treat them right away and make sure no one dies!"
"The master also attaches great importance to penicillin. He has come to inspect it many times."
"And he also said that devoting oneself to science is an honorable thing..."
"We asked you to sacrifice yourself! We didn't ask you to sacrifice others! Are we doing a cult?" Xiao Tao scolded a few more times, then turned to Li Yuanzhao and said, "Your Highness, have you read this?"
Li Yuanzhao swallowed and looked around.
This place gave him a feeling that something was wrong. Although the room was bright, he didn't know why the smell and atmosphere were so evil! Especially when he saw many needles of different sizes on the table not far away, his scalp tingled. He couldn't help but recall the scene where Fang Zhengyi killed more than 50 people in the dungeon.
Damn it, how could there be such a weird place in Taoyuan County? This place doesn’t look like a place for curing illnesses or saving lives, there’s not a hint of medicine at all!
Isn't Lao Fang a pervert?!
Li Yuanzhao cursed inwardly and said, "Come on, come on, after you've finished reading, hurry to the county government office and tell me the details."
After being transferred to the county government office, Xiao Tao gathered a number of people who knew the inside story.
Ao Chen got straight to the point and said, "Your Highness, we suspect that King Wu has rebellious intentions."
Li Yuanzhao's eyelids twitched violently, and he immediately raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
For a moment, he found it a little hard to accept it. This trip to Taoyuan County contained too much information!
It’s not that he was afraid that the King of Wu would rebel. He would be very happy if someone rebelled.
The main reason is that I am involved in more things and have more responsibilities, so I have to start considering various possible consequences.
If there is no particularly concrete evidence, I am afraid that all the princes in the capital will be terrified.
The princes were already dissatisfied with my father's reduction of power. If I rashly think that the King of Wu has a problem, what will the other princes think? Will I be the next one? Who knows what kind of trouble will happen then.
Rubbing his brows, Li Yuanzhao sighed and said, "Go on."
"The King of Wu may no longer be in the capital." Another bombshell.
Li Yuanzhao immediately retorted: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If the prince leaves the capital, the palace will definitely know about it."
Ao Chen didn't know how to answer, after all, it was just a guess.
He continued, "Your Highness, do you know that a few days ago there was a fire on a farm outside Beijing that killed many people? That farm was the farm of King Wu. Many high-yield crops were planted in the farm, including sweet potatoes, which were even planted much earlier than Taoyuan County."
"How do you know these things?" Li Yuanzhao was shocked.
"Because there is a person who is not dead and accidentally came to Taoyuan County..."
Ao Chen lied. It was difficult to explain this matter for the time being. He couldn't say that the master had sent spies. After all, the King of Wu was a member of the royal family and had taboos.
"Your Highness, you should know that the master went to investigate the salt merchants. Not long after he left, a fire broke out in the farm outside Beijing, and then Taoyuan County was attacked by those people. The captives also admitted that they were the King of Wu's men. That means he may have connections with the salt merchants, and maybe also with Liu Xun. Although there is no clear evidence, is there any other explanation for such behavior except wanting to rebel?"
"Okay, even if what you said is correct, I still don't understand why he came to attack Taoyuan County."
"It's a great deed, that is, gunpowder. King Wu sent people to steal the gunpowder. He has been sending people to get close to the young master, so I'm afraid he has been eyeing it for a long time."
Li Yuanzhao suddenly realized that it made sense.
If you want to do big things, no one will let go of this weapon of war.
"But... Lao Fang told me that the gunpowder is no longer available. Father has sent people to Taoyuan County to research it."
Ao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, only you and His Majesty know about this, but the outside world doesn't know about it! Everyone only knows that there is a magical object in Taoyuan County that can split mountains and rocks."
There really wasn't much gunpowder left in the county, so Fang Zheng took some with him before he left.
A batch of them have been used up in the city defense, and now there are only a few explosive packs and shells in the county, all hidden in the city walls, so there is no need to worry about anyone coming to check.
Li Yuanzhao murmured, "That's right, but rebellion is impossible. Even if they raise private soldiers, the scale of their troops will definitely not be too large. Father has been adjusting the military system in recent years and the supervision is extremely strict. The princes have no chance of successfully rebelling."
"Then there is only one possibility. The King of Wu is related to the salt merchants. Lao Fang discovered some clues that he knew. He was afraid that the matter would be exposed and fled in advance... There is only this possibility, but where can he run to? Dajing won't have a place for him to hide? Is he planning to make a comeback by stealing gunpowder?"
Xiao Tao came closer and said, "Your Highness, as long as you have silver and gunpowder, there is nowhere in the world you can't go except Dajing. You can live the same life even if you change your name."
"Yes... you are right! If he is behind this, we will know when we go to the Prince of Wu's mansion!" Li Yuanzhao's eyes began to sharpen: "I want to do something big, I wonder if you have the courage?"
"Your Highness, please speak!"
"Take two hundred people and follow me to Prince Wu's Palace!" Li Yuanzhao suddenly became excited.
It’s quite exciting to think about personally leading the troops to attack the Prince of Wu’s palace.
He had never had a good impression of the King of Wu, and the two of them were not very close.
This guy can still do so many little tricks in the capital, why don't we do something about it?
If he is not in the capital, then all suspicions will be confirmed!
