Chapter 388 There is really no other way (update)
The legendary flying over eaves and walls.
Cool! After experiencing the Qinggong that he had longed to see since childhood and could only be seen in TV dramas, Zhuang Qingning felt that every pore in his body was excited.
Even when Chu Jinnian brought her to the ground steadily, she felt that her whole body was a little light and unreal.
To the extent that for a moment, he even forgot to take his arms away from Chu Jinnian's neck.
It was not until Fan Wenxuan and others came around and asked Zhuang Qingning if everything was okay that she came to her senses, hurriedly put her hands down, and responded to everyone's enthusiastic concern with a little embarrassment.
Fortunately, in the eyes of everyone, Zhuang Qingning must have been in shock after experiencing this danger, and some unreasonable behaviors were very common and no one took it to heart.
Seeing that Zhuang Qingning was fine, not injured, and not overly frightened, Fan Wenxuan and others finally felt relieved.
He quickly brought some hot water and pastries and let Zhuang Qingning eat and drink a little to relieve his stress.
"Young Master." Jing Zhao put the coat he was carrying on Chu Jinnian.
Chu Jinnian quickly put on his clothes and looked around. At this moment, the nearby villagers were somewhat excited because the people were successfully rescued.
Finally, he asked loudly, "Who made the gunpowder just now?"
No one in the crowd answered, but Ban Qing pulled out a tall and thin man and said, "Young Master, it's him."
After saying this, he turned to the man and said, "You don't have to be afraid. Although my master is very imposing, he is a very kind person. You just helped a lot and rescued Miss Zhuang. My master will definitely reward you for your merit."
The man who was dragged out seemed to be quite timid. He didn't even dare to raise his head. He just lowered his hands and bowed repeatedly. "It's all my duty. I saved someone. It doesn't matter if you pay me or not. It's all fine..."
"Your skill in making gunpowder is really good. Where did you learn it? How many years have you been doing it?" Chu Jinnian asked.
"I taught myself. I was naughty when I was a kid and tinkered with these things. Later I learned to make fireworks and firecrackers and also helped with frying fish and rocks. Thank you for your praise..." The man still bowed his body as he answered.
"Since you have been doing this for many years, you should know what kind of things to blow up and how much gunpowder to use. You have never come to check the condition of the rocks on the top of the mountain, so how can you be sure that this amount of gunpowder is just enough to blow up the top of the mountain without hurting the people in the cave?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Chu Jinnian's eyes.
"This..." The man's head was almost buried in his clothes, and he began to stutter, "I...I...I have been coming to Cuiwei Mountain since I was a child. I am very familiar with it. The amount of gunpowder must be correct, correct..."
"You just used my gunpowder to rescue the people, but now you are questioning me about the amount of gunpowder. Aren't you destroying your bridge after crossing the river?"
"But I only used 20% of the gunpowder just now."
Chu Jinnian narrowed his eyes. "With that amount of gunpowder, if all of it is used, not only will the entire cave collapse, but the people in the cave will surely die. I'm afraid that everyone here will also be injured. Since you have been working with gunpowder for many years, I'm afraid you know this."
"But you gave me so much gunpowder. What's your intention? Is it to save people, or..."
"Is it to kill someone?"
Chu Jinnian asked questions one after another, his voice getting louder and louder, and the chill in his tone grew stronger.
The aura that was originally all over his body now gathered together, making people feel more imposing and giving people an inexplicable chill.
The man who had been trying to argue was now shaking like a sieve and could no longer stand, falling to his knees with a thud.
"Please spare my life, my lord. I can't help it..."
"I have worked hard for half my life, but I have not earned any money. My family lives a miserable life. I can't even buy new clothes for my children during the New Year. My wife ran away with someone else. My mother is sick, and her medicine costs three taels of silver a month!"
"I had no choice but to accept other people's money. You can't blame me for this. I really had no choice..."
The man cried bitterly and kowtowed repeatedly, with bright red blood oozing out of his forehead. He looked so pitiful.
Chu Jinnian was unmoved, and the coldness in his eyes became even stronger.
When you have no other choice, you think of stepping on other people's lives to make a living.
There is no such thing in the world.
Chu Jinnian didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he just waved at Jing Zhao who was standing beside him, "Take him away for interrogation and see what we can find out."
"yes."
Jing Zhao had just heard the whole story from Chu Jinnian. He was very impatient with this vicious man. He didn't speak to him, but picked him up with one hand and asked people to tie him up and take him away for interrogation.
The remaining nearby villagers who came up the mountain to help looked at each other in bewilderment.
The villagers were originally very angry about the fact that Chu Jinnian was planning to make things difficult for the person who used gunpowder to save people after he escaped from danger. They felt that Chu Jinnian was trying to make things difficult for the person who used gunpowder to save people.
Before they could open their mouths to speak for that person, Chu Jinnian explained all the reasons in a blink of an eye. His arguments were well-reasoned and irrefutable. More importantly, that person admitted what he had done and that he had been bribed by someone to kill someone.
They were all simple and honest people who lived a down-to-earth life. When they saw this, they didn't know whether to admire Chu Jinnian's cleverness and wisdom, or to scold that person for his bad intentions.
"Thanks to all of you for your help today. This is just a small gift, please don't mind. You can take it and have tea." Chu Jinnian thanked all the villagers and winked at Ban Qing who was standing beside him.
Banqing took the purse and gave money to everyone one by one.
Each person received a piece of silver, about two taels.
It was just a matter of going up the mountain and picking up a few rocks. The rest of the time was just watching the fun from the side. He could easily earn the income for half a year, or even most of the year.
The villagers happily accepted the silver and were grateful to Chu Jinnian profusely.
Chu Jinnian did not exchange too many pleasantries with the villagers. He just let Banqing handle these matters, and together with Fan Wenxuan, he took Zhuang Qingning down the mountain.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, we took a carriage to Qingzhu Garden.
"It's getting late now, why don't you stay in Qingzhu Garden tonight? I have asked someone to invite a female doctor to come and take a closer look at Miss Zhuang."
Chu Jinnian suggested, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is in two days. It's better to take advantage of the day than to choose another day. Let's invite Miss Zhuang to have dinner at Qingzhu Garden today. This can be regarded as a reward for Miss Zhuang's care for Mr. Fan and Jinzhou during this period of time."
Especially, I am grateful for saving Chu Jinzhou's life today.
When she rescued Chu Jinzhou in the cave just now, although she had applied medicine on the visible external injuries, the invisible back was also burning with pain due to the injury. She didn't know whether his muscles and bones were injured. To be on the safe side, it would be better to let the doctor take a good look.
