Liu Yuanwai confessed everything tremblingly, fearing that Su Rong would really draw his sword and kill people if he was unhappy. Although he was still worried about his wife and children, how could a person not be afraid of death at the critical moment of life and death? Anyway, he couldn't do it. Not only could he not be afraid, he was also very afraid of death.
As soon as he finished explaining, Su Rong raised his eyebrows and asked, "If that's the case, where is the master?"
Who could have imagined that such a person would hide in the small Yunnan Craftsmen's Office
Mr. Liu did not hide anything and gave the person away in one go. He added, "He has been in the Carpenters' Office all the time. He never goes anywhere else except the Carpenters' Office. He is now in the workers' quarters, but he has his own room. I used to live in my old room."
No one would neglect such a special and capable person, and the same goes for Mr. Liu.
Su Rong hummed, and still left the man to Qing Kun to watch over, and led his men straight to the workers' room provided by Liu Yuanwai.
Several of his trusted subordinates followed closely, and couldn't help asking, "Sir, are you going to kill this Mr. Liu?"
Su Rong looked at them strangely: "Why do you ask this?"
Everyone looked at each other, coughed and said, "Although it's a bit cowardly, it seems to be of some use."
We are all soldiers, so who doesn't know how powerful the musket is? It is even more impossible for us not to know how precious these weapons are.
Although Mr. Liu is abominable, he is really capable! He was able to gather so many people in such a short time and make so many fire guns!
Even if he is placed in the Ministry of Works, he still needs an official position.
Seeing their expressions, how could Su Rong not see what they were thinking? He couldn't help but smile: "If you want to kill him, you should have killed him earlier. Of course, you won't kill him."
Not only did Liu Yuanwai not kill him, but after Su Rong found the master, he only asked a few polite questions. Seeing that the master was particularly resistant, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked with a sense of realization: "Is he from the Zheng family?"
Seeing how excited he was when he saw the officers and soldiers, and how resistant he was, and thinking back to what happened to Boss Ma before, it was hard for Su Rong not to guess in this direction.
Upon hearing what Su Rong said, the old master immediately raised his head and looked at Su Rong with sharp eyes.
It seems so.
Su Rong sighed with some regret: "What a pity, he is from the Zheng family."
Master Zheng pursed his lips, the corners of his lips almost formed a straight line, and asked coldly: "Why is it a pity for the Zheng family?"
Su Rong was not to be outdone: "Of course it's a pity. If it were anyone else, I would have to spend some time persuading him to see if he could be saved. But since he's a wolf cub from a wolf's den like the Zheng family, there's naturally no need to say anything. When the emperor was deposed, they flattered the superiors and bullied the subordinates in order to please him. Now that the emperor is gone, they can join the pirates and once again bring disaster to the people along the coast. They have no conscience at all. There's no need to waste words with such a person, because even if you say anything, it's useless, isn't it?"
Master Zheng clenched his fists tightly, and for a moment he seemed to have no idea how to respond.
Su Rong stood up and walked out coldly. When he reached the threshold, he stopped again and said coldly without looking back: "You obviously have good skills, but you didn't use these skills to benefit the people, nor did you use them to do good things. On the contrary, you provided weapons to the Japanese pirates and made muskets for the pirates. In the end, these weapons harmed all ordinary people. Until now, you are still using the same old tricks, even running to Yunnan, still doing this kind of business. Do you know that if this batch of muskets of yours flowed out according to your plan and fell into the hands of those traitors, how many innocent people would be buried here? How many people would lose their loved ones? There is a sentence that I have told Boss Ma once, and now I can tell you again. The roots of the Zheng family are rotten. Killing all the adult men of the Zheng family. Until now, I only think that my grandfather did the right thing and was getting rid of harm for the people!"
After he said this, he left without any hesitation.
Master Zheng stood there in a daze, facing the dark night in silence for a long time.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and everything was quiet, but for some reason, Aaron felt uneasy. He vaguely heard a thunder and was startled. He sat up straight in fear. After a while, he got out of bed sweating profusely. He poured himself a glass of cold water and gulped it down. Only then did he calm down a little.
He had just dreamt of thunder and he felt something was not right. How could there be such a loud thunder in a place like Yunnan and in such weather? When he woke up, he realized he was just dreaming.
He slowly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back to sleep when he keenly noticed some movement outside. He listened carefully and his face changed - it was footsteps.
He lived here, nominally as a guest of Mr. Liu, but in fact, the guards here were all his own men, with great martial arts skills. Logically, at this time, the guards all knew his temper and would not come here so rashly late at night.
Frowning, he walked straight to the window without hesitation and swiftly went out.
As soon as he landed, he couldn't open his eyes because of the torch, and subconsciously put his hands in front of his eyes.
Then he heard a familiar voice: "Tsk tsk, I really wasted your talent in the past. If I had known you were so capable, A'long, I would never have let you just run errands for Yaoyao."
Aaron froze and looked towards the source of the sound.
When he saw Su Rong standing calmly with his arms folded, he knew in an instant that Su Rong knew everything.
But he was not too panicked about being discovered, and instead quickly calmed down.
After calming down, he smiled and called out "Uncle", and said very naturally: "Oh, Uncle is really omnipotent, how come you found it so quickly?"
Su Rong always hated a grown man who was so playful. He glanced at the shameless A Long and said coldly, "How come it's still early? If it was early, you wouldn't have been hiding until now, and there wouldn't have been the Pang family incident. I should say you're really amazing. I followed you all the way out of the capital, but I didn't even know you were such a powerful character. I was really wrong."
A'long responded to Su Rong's words calmly, put his hands behind his back, and quickly pulled out the fuse. Suddenly, a cluster of fireworks flew out with a bang, and a firework exploded in mid-air.
Su Rong looked at him with a half-smile: "Isn't it a little late to remind you now?"
He wanted to send a signal to have people cover up the matter of the musket. Even if it was just a fire that burned down the entire craftsmanship company, it would be better than letting it fall into Su Rong's hands.
