After Zhou Ruomin took over Governor Liao's fireworks business, the pressure on Mr. Liu suddenly decreased a lot, and he began to concentrate on completing the production of gunpowder.
Because Zhou Ruomin also needed saltpeter to make fireworks, Liu Yuanwai no longer had to worry about arousing suspicion. He was completely relieved and said to A Long privately: "Don't worry, everything is going well. The previous lanterns have been sent out, and I guarantee that no one will know about it. Now we just have to wait for this batch of muskets to be completed, and everything will be fine."
Aaron raised his eyebrows but didn't respond. After a while, he asked, "Do you have a ready-made musket? Bring one over for me to see."
Mr. Liu was startled, but he still obediently took a gun and carefully taught A Long where to fire and where to load the gunpowder.
Aaron fiddled with it for a while and asked casually, "Have you tested it? How far away can it kill people?"
Mr. Liu was a little embarrassed: "This noise is too loud, how can we test it? After all, this is the Carpenters' Office, and there are government offices all around us. If there is any noise, it will attract countless eyes."
There was some truth in what he said. A'long lowered his eyes and said nothing. When Liu Yuanwai got a little anxious, he said expressionlessly, "Then let's go out of the city and find a place to go."
Otherwise, if it doesn’t work, wouldn’t all this effort be wasted
Mr. Liu was stunned and could only agree. He waited anxiously until the evening, then followed A Long out of the city and found a very empty place.
Aaron aimed at a tree in the distance and fired a shot.
Mr. Liu was standing nearby, and he was so frightened that his whole body trembled. When he opened his eyes, he shouted happily: "Master Long's skills are really superb! He hit the target! He hit the target!"
Aaron was not very happy. He walked to the tree, touched the broken branch, and said after a long while: "If there was this thing in the city..."
If Mu Tong had this thing in his hand, he would never have suffered such a crushing defeat.
If Miss Mu San had this thing in her hand, she could take the opportunity to kill Song Xiangyu, the troublemaker, and always make Xiao Heng uncomfortable.
Even more, if Boss Ma had this thing in his hand, he could kill Su Yao and Su Rong without having to become prisoners.
It’s a pity that there is no if.
Mr. Liu didn't understand why he suddenly became depressed. Seeing that he had a gloomy face and didn't move, he asked tentatively: "Is Lord Long dissatisfied with something?"
"What's wrong with you?" Aaron turned around and asked back. Looking at the musket in his hand, he suddenly laughed out loud: "This thing is in my hand, and I have so many of them. How can I be dissatisfied? I am very satisfied!"
With this thing, he could cause unrest in the entire Dali Prefecture.
He wanted to see how Xiao Heng would report to his superiors when such a huge mess broke out in the Dali Prefecture that he had just conquered. He also wanted to see the interesting expressions on Su Rong and Su Yao's faces.
Haven't they, the siblings, always been omnipotent
He just wanted to see them finally make their mistake; that would be an exciting scene.
He was gloomy at one moment and laughing at another. Mr. Liu was very nervous because of him. He could only smile and remind him: "Master Long, it's getting late. Do you want to go back first or stay a little longer?"
We can't stay in this wilderness forever, can we
After the test, A Long handed the musket to Mr. Liu and got on the carriage.
Mr. Liu heaved a sigh of relief and followed him up, sitting opposite him and talking incessantly: "Lord Long, to be honest, I have been very worried recently. I can't sleep every day and have nightmares every night, just because I am afraid that something will happen. Now everything is going very smoothly here. As long as we get through this period and make it to the Water Splashing Festival, everything will be fine. By then, you must fulfill your promise and return my previous share of the family business to me, as well as my wife and children..."
If he had not been very close to Wei Desheng and always listened to Mu Tong in everything, and had not met Boss Ma, why would he risk his life to do such a thing
Just like the Bai and Yang families, isn't it enough to flatter the imperial court
But what can I do? With my life and property in my hands, I can’t just sit there and wait to die.
Mr. Liu looked worried.
The next few days were still calm and without any accidents, Mr. Liu finally began to feel relieved. When it was the eve of the Water-Splashing Festival, he couldn't sleep. After thinking about it, he got up from his bed and went to the workshop.
He groped his way to the workshop in the dark, holding a bunch of keys in his hand. He was the only one who had these keys, which opened the innermost warehouse. As soon as the Water-Splashing Festival began, according to the custom of Dali Prefecture, men, women, and children would go to the streets. At that time, even the government offices would be closed.
No one would suspect that he could ship out the things here, as long as he used the name of sending a flower car.
Everything was fine originally, but for some reason, Mr. Liu couldn't sleep the closer things got to the point, so he just came over to take a look to make himself feel at ease.
He fumbled for the key and unlocked the door with trembling hands. Just as he heard a click, he felt his shoulder sink and someone's hand rest on it.
He was startled and subconsciously laughed bitterly: "Lord Long, the servants are so scary..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, because a light laugh was heard immediately afterwards.
The sound was very light, but when it sounded at this moment, it almost made his scalp numb, and his whole body exploded instantly.
This is not Aaron's voice!
Mr. Liu's calves felt weak and he felt a surge of anger rising from his stomach, causing him to involuntarily take a step forward and lean against the warehouse door.
Su Rong looked at him and laughed, "What's the matter? Don't be afraid, Mr. Liu. We are not bad people."
He is not a bad person, but the King of Hell who wants to take people’s lives!
Mr. Liu was in a state of confusion. He had no idea how to react and just leaned against the door, refusing to move at all.
Su Rong raised his chin towards Qing Kun and said, "Please ask Mr. Liu to speak directly to us. What does this look like?"
Qingkun immediately pushed Mr. Liu and turned him around.
Mr. Liu was almost about to cry out loud, and when he was forced to turn his head, his expression was probably similar to that of the Black and White Impermanence.
Su Rong no longer had any smile on his face at this time. He raised his chin towards Mr. Liu and said, "Mr. Liu, I saw you were about to open the door. Come on, open it. We also have something to do in the warehouse. It's just right that you are here, and it saves us a lot of trouble."
Mr. Liu was almost frightened to the point of peeing his pants.
