Chapter 247 Punishment
"In the book." Wang Hao had just said two words when he realized something was wrong and quickly corrected himself. "It's been so long since I read it, how could I remember it so clearly? I only know that this thing can be burned, and I don't remember anything else."
He has never read any books and is just being stubborn.
Shen Qingqian chuckled, "Then let me tell you, this kind of stone has another name, coal. It is a mineral. Combustibility is only one of its functions. Its real function is reflected in the high temperature of combustion."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Old Qin had been troubled by the difficulty of making weapons because charcoal or ordinary firewood couldn't reach the high temperature he desired, but coal could."
She said this while looking at Lu An.
When Lu An heard this, his eyes lit up and he motioned Shen Qingqian to continue.
But Shen Qingqian said no more, instead she looked at Wang Hao with a faint smile, "I wonder if this is what is written in the book that Master Wang is reading?"
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's what I saw in that book!"
Shen Qingqian burst out laughing, "Master Wang, I advise you to think it over carefully. After all, lying in front of Chief Lu will be punished."
Wang Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately changed his words, "I don't remember clearly, but it should be similar to what I told you."
Lu An had already sensed something was amiss and looked at Shen Qingqian and said, "Sixth Miss, just speak frankly. I will take care of it for you, so you don't have to worry."
Shen Qingqian straightened her expression and bowed to Lu An. "Thank you, Chief Lu. It's not that I'm worried, but the book I just mentioned is the handwritten notes of Grand Tutor Chen, a close friend of my grandfather. There's only one copy in the world, and when I was eight years old, it was accidentally burned because I was young. The content describing Shi Nie has turned to ashes."
The function of Shi Nie mentioned in Shan Hai Jing is not described in detail.
Of course, these words were all made up by her, but when Lu An and others heard this, they immediately confirmed that Wang Hao was talking nonsense.
The mine manager moved away from Wang Hao without saying a word.
"Hahaha, Wang Hao, you don't even know how to make up a good lie. It's so easily exposed. Where's your face?" Shen Yong pointed at Wang Hao and laughed.
Shen Jun said calmly: "Fourth brother, Prince Wang has already lost face in the capital, so he is naturally ashamed now."
This was a very clever statement. Not only did it scold Wang Hao for being shameless in the capital, it also vividly described the current situation.
"Second brother is right, he has never had any shame." Shen Yong snorted, not even bothering to look at Wang Hao again.
Lu An's face turned serious, "Wang Hao, what else do you have to say?"
"I..." Wang Hao panicked, but he still insisted, "I really saw it in a book! How did she know it wasn't written in other books? And..."
Chen Er couldn't bear it any longer and punched Wang Hao in the eye. "I'll fucking kill you if you keep talking nonsense!"
Everyone in their compound could vouch for the Sixth Miss, yet Wang Hao actually dared to take credit for her work!
Wang Hao was caught off guard and was hit. He immediately got a panda eye and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ah! Chen Er, you reckless man!" Wang Hao quickly stepped back to avoid it, but Chen Er was chasing him and he had nowhere to hide, and was hit by several solid punches.
Lu An waited until Wang Hao was almost beaten before speaking, "Stop."
Chen Er stopped fighting immediately and retreated behind Shen Qingqian and his sister in a cunning manner.
"Old Bai, from now on, all the hardest and most tiring work in the mine will be given to Wang Hao. When he stops talking nonsense and slacking off, we can talk about replacing him."
Lu An spoke slowly, but Wang Hao's heart sank.
The hardest and most tiring work in the mines can be fatal!
