Chapter 058 "I Can't Come"
At the temporary camp, when Meng Jian appeared, he was greeted with thunderous cheers and applause.
The hero himself looked embarrassed and subconsciously glanced to the side.
Qin Zhaoyue immediately slowed down and fell behind, whispering, "If you dare to look back, I'll kill you."
Meng Jian: ...
He is indeed the most suitable person to perform that drama. Apart from the "Divine Martial Realm", what else can explain the roar that resounded through the clouds and the miracle of the instantaneous flood discharge?
However, the first merit of disaster relief was the love of the people, especially the officials of the Tiangong Division whose careers were saved. If handled properly, the Sixth Princess could completely restore her reputation in one fell swoop.
Why should we avoid a good reputation like a scorpion?
Meng Jian silently accepted the admiring gazes of the crowd, holding his chest and walking slowly.
The whole play is played out. How could a drug that can advance one to the "Divine Martial Realm" in a short period of time be without any side effects?
He didn't explain, but everyone had already guessed it and believed it firmly.
Commander Meng not only took out an extremely precious elixir, but also bore unspeakable consequences.
Great hero, great hero!
The main account still has four people.
After witnessing the power of black gunpowder, the three of them looked at Qin Zhaoyue with indescribable expressions.
How did she get it? Did the Taoist priest who had just been recruited really get it by chance?
But what can she do with such a powerful weapon in her hands?
Qin Zhaoqiong suddenly shuddered and stopped herself from thinking any further.
Not really. If Sixth Sister really had that idea, she would never come up with the formula for black powder to control the flood.
"What's wrong? Are you all stupid?"
Qin Zhaoyue certainly understood what they were thinking, but he didn't intend to discuss any issues related to black powder.
Meng Jian came back to his senses and used his true energy to seal the tent again.
I didn't consume too much energy when I was acting just now, only when I shouted the name of that strange move that resounded through the heavens and the earth did I consume some energy.
"Your Highness, I was in the air when the dike was blown up, and I caught a glimpse of a unique piece of equipment amidst the rushing floodwaters: a furnace...a furnace for smelting iron."
"What!" Qin Zhaoqiong suddenly took a step forward and stared into Meng Jian's eyes. "Are you sure? Did you really see the furnace?"
Meng Jian nodded, "I'm sure."
Among the Meng family’s businesses is a military weapons workshop, which has cooperation with the Tiangong Division and the Xuan Ge Division.
For example, the light armor he was wearing came from the Meng family workshop.
The heirs of the Meng family have a privilege when they reach the age of twenty: custom-made armor and weapons.
For this purpose, he stayed in the workshop for more than three months and saw the iron smelting furnace.
At the beginning of the flood discharge, he was in the air and clearly saw the furnace washed out by the flood. Although it was not a panoramic view, he would never mistake it.
It was because he was too shocked that he forgot to defend himself against the flying stones.
After receiving another affirmative answer, Qin Zhaoqiong's heart couldn't help but sink.
The underground cave and the five-meter-thick embankment are enough to block out the sound of iron smelting.
It takes so much effort, and what they want cannot be accomplished overnight.
According to old tea farmers, rumors of ghosts have been circulating for seven or eight years.
Furthermore, not far from Mingyan County is Chiyan County, which is the largest iron ore producing county in Qingyao Prefecture.
Chiyan County is even upstream of Mingyan County, with the Qingyao River running through it!
The expressions of the three people present were extremely bad, even uglier than when they knew that the flood discharge point could not discharge water smoothly.
Qin Zhaoyue had not expected that a simple flood discharge would lead to such a big incident.
The Dagan Dynasty was similar to the ancient times of the previous life, with salt and iron both being state-run.
They would go to so much trouble to build a furnace in the cave, it couldn't be just to secretly cast sickles and hoes, it would just be weapons and armor.
"We must block the news immediately." This matter was too big, and Qin Zhaoqiong's first reaction was to block the news and investigate secretly.
Qin Zhaoyue shook his head. "It's too late. Too many people know there's Sanhe soil in the cave. It's impossible to completely seal it off. It's better to drain it than to block it."
"Sixth sister, if you have any ideas, just tell me!"
In fact, the three major problems in Mingyan County were all solved by her. Now Qin Zhaoqiong is completely convinced of her sixth sister and even has a blind confidence in her.
"Simple, just keep investigating.
Anyway, only Commander Meng saw the furnace, and everyone else only knew about the cement dam.
That guy... was the official who surveyed the soil. He had made a serious mistake, so he was punished to investigate the matter in Mingyan County.
The floodwaters displaced the villages downstream, so it made sense for the eldest sister to leave some soldiers here to assist in the reconstruction."
All three of them understood.
If the order to block the news is suddenly issued, it will easily arouse vigilance. It is better to make it public and paralyze the other party to let down their guard.
"I understand, but who will actually investigate the case?"
Three pairs of eyes suddenly focused on each other, and Qin Zhaoyue rolled his eyes.
"Don't look at me. I'm fine with some fun, but I can't handle a major case like the illegal iron casting."
Qin Zhaoqiong’s first reaction was “here it comes again” and her sixth sister “can’t come again”.
Purifying water, curing diseases, and using black powder to release floodwaters, such a comprehensive performance, is that just a joke for her?
Then what was I, a loser? And what about my fifth brother?
"Sixth sister is modest. I think you can do it."
Qin Zhaoyue waved his hand and said, "I don't care what you think, I care what I think. I'm really not good at investigating cases."
Are you kidding? Not to mention whether she has the ability to do so, can she investigate the underground forces that dare to privately cast iron tools?
The mastermind behind the previous plot to frame the original body has not been found yet, and now he is involved in this kind of "anti-corruption" thing?
Seeing her firm attitude, Qin Zhaoqiong looked at Meng Jian.
"Um... Your Highness, I can lead troops in battle, but investigating a case... I really can't."
Qin Zhaoqiong thought about it and agreed, so he looked at the last person.
"Your Highness, I am just a small captain of the Qingluan Guard..."
The Qingluan Guards are responsible for personal protection and indeed do not have the ability in this area. Qin Zhaoqiong was a little desperate and was trying all kinds of help.
But this matter is too serious, even more important than disaster relief, and it is impossible to just ignore it.
"Don't worry, elder sister," Qin Zhaoyue patted her shoulder gently, "We don't have the ability, but we have ready-made helpers around us."
That’s right! Qin Zhaoqiong suddenly understood.
When it comes to investigating cases, there is no one more suitable than Xuanji Wei.
His vision refocused, Meng Jian raised his hand, "I understand, leave it to me."
[ps] Thank you all for your contributions, thank you!
There are no ups and downs for the time being, and I can’t tell what rank it has been ranked at. I don’t know if it is like this or if there is a lag.
But everyone's follow-up reading and feeding have definitely helped, at least the data has not dropped.
I hope it's not bronze, o(╥﹏╥)o
