Ni Yueshan finally left without disturbing him.
The imperial court banned all ingredients for making gunpowder, so naturally, the trade of these things was all done in secret.
In a remote suburb of the capital, there is an alley where people do various businesses.
Mr. Jia put on a veil and wrapped his whole body tightly, and Ni Yueshan naturally did the same.
In black market transactions, no one is asked about names or the source of the goods, only the transaction is carried out.
Mr. Jia has traded with the other party many times. Mr. Jia is also a big investor, so that person does not do business with other people. The middle of every month is the trading time.
In the carriage, Ni Yueshan looked at Master Jia sitting opposite him and asked doubtfully, "You should know that setting off fireworks on your mother's birthday will attract attention, but why did you still set them off?"
"My mother likes to watch it."
So as a filial son you let him go?
Not far from the entrance of the alley, Mr. Jia got off the carriage first and walked forward.
Ni Yueshan followed closely behind.
The view inside is dim, and there are crowds of people. There are all kinds of stalls and shops. You don’t even know what is being traded inside unless you go in.
Everyone either wears a mask or a veil, wrapping themselves tightly.
Ni Yueshan was not afraid when Master Jia took her around. After all, Jia Zheng was in her hands, so what was there to be afraid of?
"Miss Ni, please don't interrupt me while I'm making a deal."
"clear."
In a small dark room, the visibility is extremely poor. Inside the house, sacks are open, containing various items such as charcoal and sulfur.
Mr. Jia placed the wooden box on the table, and a man wrapped in black reached out and opened the wooden box.
The gold bars filled inside illuminated his eyes. The man squinted slightly, looking very satisfied.
Then he walked towards the back of the tent. Master Jia quickly followed, and Ni Yueshan followed closely behind, but they were stopped by the guards standing nearby.
Ni Yueshan didn't want to force his way in, so he just stood there obediently.
Mr. Jia and the man went into the back of the tent, perhaps to let him see the goods.
Ni Yueshan was still waiting when Mr. Jia came out, followed by the man from before.
"Happy cooperation, follow the old rules."
The man said something and bowed gracefully to Mr. Jia. Mr. Jia also bowed in return. The two of them had concluded the deal.
Mr. Jia left his gold bars on the table, then picked up the sulfur from the sack and left.
Ni Yueshan was puzzled. Why did they leave so many gold bars and only take away a bag of sulfur?
After leaving the black market, Ni Yueshan spoke up, "What are you going to do with the sulfur?"
"Anyone who goes to the black market must complete a transaction, otherwise there's no hope of coming out safely."
Sulfur is the proof that the deal was a success.
Ni Yueshan showed a hint of realization.
After returning, Mr. Jia and Ni Yueshan stayed in a restaurant near the pier. At dawn, Ni Gaofei brought people to pick up the goods.
The sky was turning white, and the thugs from the prime minister's mansion disguised themselves as servants in Master Jia's house and followed Master Jia to collect the goods.
And Ni Gaofei was also among them...
Their plan was to have someone who was very good at swimming hide under the boat, ready to track people underwater and find out their background.
Once he gets to know the whole story, Ni Gaofei will naturally lead his men directly to the destination.
Ni Yueshan didn't sleep all night, holding his forehead with his hand waiting for news.
At this moment, a gust of wind swept into the room, the candlelight flickered, and a figure entered the room, "Master, the Prime Minister has led his troops over."
Ni Yueshan looked at Qingfeng, "Do you think my father will be in danger?"
"The Prime Minister will leave a mark on the road. If the master is worried, he can bring a group of people with him."
Ni Yueshan's eyes lit up. It would be good to go over there. Maybe he could help. With Qingfeng around, she didn't have to worry about getting hurt.
"Let's go, we'll be there soon."
Ni Yueshan stood up, a little excited.
Qingfeng reminded: "Master, you have to lead the troops over!"
He didn't want Ni Yueshan to go alone.
"Don't I have you?" Ni Yueshan raised an eyebrow at Qingfeng, who felt a little embarrassed: "Qingfeng's ability is limited."
The other party's strength is unknown, so how can I guarantee that I can definitely protect Ni Yueshan?
Ni Yueshan was somewhat helpless: "It is not appropriate to alert the government officials at this moment. Let's go to the Second Prince's residence to borrow troops."
Although Jing Yuchen is still unconscious, with Qingfeng here, it is not a problem to mobilize a small number of troops around Jing Yuchen!
With a team of more than ten people, they followed the traces left by Ni Gaofei.
When they arrived at their destination, they saw from afar a small hill with a village built on it.
The gate of the village has been opened, and judging by the traces left around it, it is obvious that a battle has already taken place.
Ni Gaofei and his men have already rushed in.
"Let's go and take a look!"
The two sides have already clashed, and the guards at the door are gone.
Walking inside, you can even smell the smell of blood.
There were many corpses from both sides lying inside, and sounds of fighting were heard from the front, so Ni Yueshan and others rushed over quickly.
Ni Yueshan saw Ni Gaofei fighting with someone, but there was an injured man lying next to him in a pile of groceries. What was he doing?
Ni Yueshan's expression changed and he shouted, "Dad, be careful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man blew out the tinder and lit the fuel.
The fire quickly spread and engulfed the officers and soldiers around...
Ni Gaofei's clothes were on fire, and Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen's men rushed over to put out the fire.
Inside the cave, explosions sounded one after another, and flames rushed towards this side rapidly. Ni Gaofei flew over and protected Ni Yueshan under him.
However, the explosion was too powerful, and flames swept through the area, knocking everyone around unconscious to the ground. The smell of burning flesh also spread.
In the Second Prince's Mansion, Jing Yuchen slowly woke up from coughing. His head felt heavy, his vision was blurry, and he had no strength in his body.
He was so thirsty that the maidservant beside him hurried forward and said, "Second Prince, are you awake? I'll bring you food!"
Jing Yuchen frowned and asked weakly, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Two days."
It's been two days...
"Has Yueshan been here?"
"I have been here and borrowed some soldiers from your house."
Jing Yuchen's originally dazed eyes suddenly became sharp.
"What did you say? Borrowed soldiers?"
The maid immediately knelt down and said, "Qingfeng came here in person, so we agreed to borrow a dozen people to go."
"With just a dozen soldiers, they want to eliminate others?" Jing Yuchen coughed violently, and finally picked up the clothes next to him and put them on quickly.
The maidservant reminded him, "Second Prince, you are not well yet, you can't walk around freely!"
Jing Yuchen ignored the maid and walked out quickly without even putting on his shoes.
"Come here, gather the troops and follow this prince out of the palace!"
