Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Chapter 115: Four Rumors, Revolver Announced

The assassination that Zhou Jin was worried about did not happen.

He prepared a large number of people to wait for the rabbits, but in the end, there was not even a single bug, let alone a rabbit.

Could it be that Dabao’s identity has not been exposed?

It shouldn’t be!

The two people who were captured said that there were six people carrying out the mission, and what Butler Luo said indirectly proved their statement.

Six people came to Luochuan County, four of them were carrying out the mission, and there were two spies in secret. Unless they were the two people who were secretly following, wouldn’t they know Dabao?

It's possible.

The plan to return to Beijing has been decided, and it doesn't matter whether Dabao is exposed or not.

"Is there any news from the capital?"

"Reporting to the Lord, all the mountains surrounding the capital have been checked, and there are no signs of human troops stationed, not even bandits."

When the Plum Blossom Guards came to the northwest, Zhou Jin felt something big was going to happen.

The King of Chu's fiefdom was rich, and his uncle was from a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. Was he stealing the soap and tofu recipes because he was short of money, or was it simply greed?

If it's the former, what would require so much money?

Zhou Jin had to wonder if the Second Prince was raising a private army, which might be huge, so he needed money.

The purpose of hiding the soldiers must be to take the throne, and the hiding place could not be too far away from the capital, the center of power. He notified the capital to conduct an investigation.

The result didn't seem to be what he expected.

"Continue to expand the search area, and send people to explore the King of Chu's fiefdom."

Zhou Jin didn't believe that the second prince was simply greedy for money. There must be some purpose behind this. Dabao was about to return to Beijing, and any threat had to be eliminated in advance.

Beijing,

Just one day after Xiao Chen's mother's birthday party, rumors suddenly spread on the streets.

"Have you heard about Prince Consort Xiao's mother's birthday?"

"I know. All the civil and military officials sent gifts to celebrate. The Xiao Mansion was bustling with activity yesterday."

"I heard someone gave the old lady of the Xiao family a glass ornament. It's bigger and more transparent than the glass in the current emperor's treasury."

"Is this true? This kind of rare treasure should be presented to His Majesty."

The person who was speaking also bowed in the direction of the palace, as if he was showing his respect to His Majesty from the bottom of his heart.

"You don't know, I heard that they gave it to me out of respect for the Second Prince."

"This is ridiculous! Could it be that the Second Prince is older than His Majesty?"

"Hush... not to mention the Xiao Mansion, even the Imperial Concubine received a glass ornament as a gift. I heard that His Majesty is going to make the Second Prince the Crown Prince. The world will soon belong to the Second Prince..."

The person who spoke had a shifty look in his eyes and lowered his voice, causing people around him to exclaim in surprise.

Royal gossip, no matter which dynasty, is a topic that the people love to talk about, and Daxia does not prohibit people from discussing it.

The news that the second prince was going to become the crown prince and soon the emperor and that all the civil and military officials were going to flatter him spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys. As for who said it first,

Who cares?

The second prince, King Zhao of Chu, really cares about him.

"idiot!"

"He really dares to take anything!"

"Who on earth wants to kill me?"

What is imperial power?

The best must belong to the emperor, it’s that simple.

The colored glass presented to the imperial concubine and the princess consort is of better quality than what my father has. Doesn't this mean that I don't respect my father?

My father is a suspicious and overbearing person. Just by presenting a glass ornament, he might be suspected. Add to that the rumors, and he will be driven to death!

The Fourth Prince Qing's Mansion,

Zhao Tong was carefully playing with a pair of glass ornaments. The ornaments were crystal clear, but had some minor damage.

"what a pity."

Such pure and clear glass is actually damaged, destroying its perfection.

"Your Highness, the people at the Treasure Pavilion said that the person who brought Liuli here showed the secret guard's token. Should we..."

Zhao Tong shook his head and put the ornament back on the table.

The secret guards are in chaos and their forces are complicated. The token is the most common token. It is meaningless to track it down and it is easy to cause trouble.

"Have you found the source of the news circulating on the street?"

"No."

"Keep adding fuel to the fire. All the people doing the work will be sent to the fiefdom tomorrow."

When the rumor appeared, Zhao Tong added fuel to the fire without hesitation. Zhao was really unlucky, and he was happy to see it, but on the premise that he would not get burned.

The emperor will definitely investigate. It would be foolish to eat the melon and end up eating himself. He is just curious, who is torturing his second brother?

Sixth brother? Seventh brother? Or third brother?

It was Shen Wansan,

Zhou Jin asked him to maximize his profits and rob the pockets of the rich. Who has money?

It must be the princes.

The pair of broken glass pieces in the Treasure Pavilion were bought by the Fourth Prince, and the news on the interface was also released by him. Now he wants to save the Second Prince as a savior.

of course,

Since he couldn't go in person, Solomon naturally had to do it for him.

Rumors were spreading everywhere, and no matter how the Second Prince explained, it was useless. What was the best solution? He was to personally take out a more precious glass ornament and present it to His Majesty personally.

The largest piece of colored glaze, which is ten feet high, is sold to him for one million taels. Isn’t that too much?

If Zhou Jin knew about Shen Wansan's tricks, he would definitely give him a thumbs up. He is indeed a cunning businessman who can even come up with such a bad idea.

But if my wife knew that Liuli made so much money, she would be very happy, because she likes money so much.

Xiao Yunxi is very happy now.

“Hahaha, it’s finally done!”

She came out of the laboratory, accompanied by two generals,

Dabao and Xiaobao were also very excited. They participated in the whole event and felt a great sense of accomplishment, unlike Niu Niu, who just made a cameo appearance.

Zhou Jin saw the joy on her face and asked with a smile:

"Is the thing made?"

"necessary!"

Xiao Yunxi tried to raise her hand, but she pulled on her injured shoulder blade, grimacing in pain.

"Be careful, are you getting involved?"

Zhou Jin was still his usual self at home, a graceful gentleman, gentle as jade. Such gentle concern made Xiao Yunxi, who had been single since birth, feel a little faster in her heartbeat.

Oh my god,

Fair skin, handsome, long legs, electric eyes, seductive mouth,

Who can hold on?

calm down!

Xiao Yunxi silently chanted a calming mantra to calm her inner passion.

"The thing is made, thanks to the materials you sent over, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth."

It was not difficult to find the blueprint of the flintlock mechanism, combined with his own experience, but the difficulty was to collect so much material.

Flint, copper, iron, saltpeter,

It is not so easy to find them all in a short time.

Xiaobao put his hands on his hips and puffed up his face:

"Mom, there's me too. I'm helping to rub the pipes."

"And me, I..."

Niuniu is just a bystander, it's good enough that she doesn't cause any trouble,

Xiao Yunxi rubbed their little heads:

"You are all great. Mommy will take you to the experiment, okay?"

"it is good!"

When testing revolvers, it is best to go to a place with few people. If this weapon can be kept hidden, it is better not to expose it.

After staying at home all winter, Xiao Yunxi decided to go hunting in the mountains.

Any fool can shoot at a fixed target, but it's a good idea to let Dabao use wild animals as moving targets.

She certainly wouldn't dare to take three children into the mountains alone. There were big beasts there. Zhou Jin sent a large number of guards, and there were also weapons made in the laboratory.

Even if you encounter a big beast, the big beast will run away, there is no need to panic at all.
