Di Renjie patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, "It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Jin is thinking less and asking more."

"Can you stop talking to me in this tone, you are old-fashioned." Li Zhi was very impatient.

"Okay, okay." Di Renjie said again, "Tell me about the other things, how is your confidante and you?"

"Can't you say something good?" Li Zhi looked worried, "Now the queen mother is bringing her with me, and I don't know why, and she took the initiative, saying that she should learn more about etiquette, dress, and manners." , some trivial matters."

"This shows that your mother should be very fond of her."

"Who knows." Li Zhi sat on the rock and said, "Di Renjie, what kind of feeling does it feel like to get married?"

"It's a wonderful feeling. After you get married, you are no longer alone. You have a responsibility, a burden, and a sense of pride." Di Renjie breathed in the cold night air, "It's getting cold so fast, I'll go back first I guess the food at home has been reheated three times."

"You all know what you are going to do and how to do it! It's just me..." Halfway through the speech, Li Zhi shook his head in frustration, "I don't know what's wrong, I feel sleepy right now."

After Li Zhi returned to his room, all the drowsiness at the beginning disappeared after he lay down, and some only had countless troubles. He thought he could show his skills, but he didn't expect that it would be more difficult to do these things well than he thought. many.

Sometimes I really want to be a hands-off shopkeeper with Gu Qing and leave everything to other people to do. I just need to point and point. Look, now that Di Renjie can manage a Dali Temple well, why can't he manage the Maritime Trade Department well.

Di Renjie had to face large and small cases every day, so why couldn't he face a lot of things in Haimao? Thinking of this, Li Zhi gritted his teeth and got up and got dressed.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Gu Qing who was eating supper and reading a book.

"Is His Royal Highness King Jin going out in the middle of the night?"

"I'll go to the Maritime Trade Department to have a look." Li Zhi straightened his clothes and said, "I want to sort out some things as soon as possible."

"En." Gu Qing nodded slightly, beckoning to Fan Jian beside him.

"What is the master's order?"

"You escort His Royal Highness King Jin to the Department of Maritime Trade."

"I don't need an escort." Li Zhi said stubbornly.

"There must always be someone to carry the lantern for His Highness Jin." Gu Qing's gaze was still on the scroll in front of him.

Fan Jian carried a lantern and led Li Zhi to walk in the dark night and said, "It will be frosty at night, His Royal Highness King Jin should go faster."

"Yeah." Li Zhi nodded and asked, "Fan Jian, how long have you been with Gu Qing?"

"It's been here since the completion of Master Gu's new home." Fan Jian whispered.

"What kind of person is Gu Qing in your eyes?" Li Zhi asked as he walked.

Looking at the dark surroundings, Fan Jian knew in his heart that there must be many dark lines guarding and protecting the village all the way. The village is the safest in the dark, and it is also when the dark lines are most closely guarded. As long as there is any disturbance around the village, Those people will know.

"Gu Houye is actually a very careful person." Fan Jian replied to Li Zhi, "In the eyes of many people, Gu Houye is a person who has nothing to do and only knows how to make money. It has always been very clear, as clear as the sky without clouds."

Chapter 742 Explosion

"You mean that Gu Qing seems to be absent-minded on the surface, but in fact he cares about everything?" Li Zhi looked at Fan Jian and said, "They are already outside, don't worry, even if you speak ill of Gu Qing, I will not say it out of."

Fan Jian was silent and brought Li Zhi to the Department of Maritime Trade, "Is His Royal Highness Jin Wang coming back tonight?"

Li Zhi took the lantern in Fan Jian's hand, "If I want to go back, I will go back by myself."

"The family will leave a door for His Royal Highness King Jin."

When Fan Jian said so, Li Zhi was still very warm in his heart. He walked into the Maritime Trade Department and lit the candle here, watching his messy desk full of files and began to get busy.

Fan Jian returned home and said to Gu Qing, "Patriarch, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is already in the Maritime and Trade Department."

"I see." Gu Qing nodded and put down the scroll in his hand and said to him, "The Book of Changes is still really profound, and I was stunned after reading it all night, but I didn't understand it."

Fan Jian watched Gu Qing walk into the room to sleep, and began to tidy up here, putting all the messy things back to their original places.

Early in the morning of the second day, a loud noise shook the entire Chang'an.

The Dali Temple was surrounded by common people, and Di Renjie looked at the family kneeling on the ground in front of him and explained in a panic.

"We really didn't hide any firearms, and we asked the Minister of Dali Temple to make the decision!"

Di Renjie's face was very solemn after reading the report from the small official of Dali Temple. A family was cooking breakfast when suddenly the whole house exploded and the house collapsed. Fortunately, no one was injured or injured, but he was quite frightened.

The only thing that can do this is firearms. Do you want to catch your own teacher?Thinking of this, Li Zhi smiled wryly. If it is said that only the royal family has firearms in Chang'an, it is possible that the one who owns firearms is his own teacher who has the skill of making firearms.

"Take people down for interrogation first." Di Renjie said frowningly, and took people to the scene to see the situation.

Why did ordinary people's homes in Chang'an explode, and Di Renjie brought officials to the scene all the way to watch the situation here.

"Master of Dali Temple." Di Renjie, who was about to step forward, was stopped by the officials at the side and said, "Be careful with firearms, there may be more firearms here."

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Di Renjie approached the ruins of the house step by step and observed.

Several officials on the side did not dare to approach. Firearms are a sharp weapon for killing people. Everyone knows that this thing is terrible. If you are not careful, you will kill people. Some words were said by soldiers who came down from the battlefield. Firearms were buried on the ground. You don't even know that you don't have a firearm under your feet, but if you step on it, you will lose half your life if you don't die.

The people who have lived in Chang'an for a long time are still afraid of firearms.

Looking at this place, Di Renjie opened the bottom layer to look at the situation. If the ground did not explode, it meant that the firearm was not hidden underground.

"How long has it been since the explosion?" Di Renjie asked, and looked back to see that the officials around him were all hiding away from here.

"Come here!" Di Renjie waved, "There are no firearms buried in the ground!"

An official pretended to be brave and came a little scared, "Master Dali Temple, please tell me."

"How long has it been since the explosion?" Di Renjie asked.

"Soon, it will be half an hour." The little official replied.

Di Renjie sniffed it hard, there was no smell of gunpowder smoke, and it didn't look like it was burning too much. Looking at the situation here, the stove has been blown apart. It seems that the frying started from the stove, but there is a lot of flour Mess all over the place.

"Dig here and have a look!" Di Renjie ordered loudly.

"But! There's..." The official still didn't dare to get too close.

Seeing their appearance, Di Renjie became furious, and shouted loudly, "What's the matter! What are you afraid of! How can you give an explanation to the people of Chang'an if you are so timid!"

After Di Renjie said so, they approached and found that there was really no danger and walked to Di Renjie's side.

After struggling to open the stove, Di Renjie said, "Help me."

"Yes Yes!"

More than a dozen Dali Temple officials tore apart the entire collapsed stove, and Di Renjie sniffed it vigorously again. There was no smell of gunpowder smoke. If a firearm exploded, there would definitely be a smell of gunpowder smoke, and even left unburnt gas. saltpeter.

Since Gu Qing made firearms, Di Renjie has seen firearms for a long time. Every time a firearm explodes, there will be a lot of smoke. Why is there no such thing here?
