Chapter 200: The Big Picture Matters?

Zhou Huan looked at Wu Hua, at this seven-foot tall man, and at the sincerity on his face. Even when he said those shameful things, he was calm and generous, as if he was talking about ordinary things.

He is a good man and an eminent monk. Do you need to remind him?
"Brother Wang, although you and I only met each other a few times, we really hit it off at first sight. It's a pity that we don't know when we will meet next time. I really look forward to seeing Brother Wang's achievements and fame."

"What, you..."

Zhou Huan heard something ominous in Wuhua's voice.

"On the front line of Gaochang Kingdom, three times a day, flying pigeons sent messages that the military situation was critical. The Western army was already approaching the city and could launch an attack at any time. You also saw the big explosion at Yumen Pass."

Zhou Huan nodded. The big explosion in SF Building not only destroyed the entire SF Building, but also the entire block, and a big hole was made in the ground.

"If the Holy Alliance can cause such a big explosion in Shunfeng Tower, will there be another one in Gaochang Kingdom? This kind of powerful weapon is perfect for attacking the city. They can do this in Yumen Pass, unless they have the brains Water comes in, otherwise there will definitely be more floods in Gaochang City, and Gaochang City is in danger."

Zhou Huan nodded. Not only was Gaochang City in danger, but other cities were also in danger. With gunpowder, there would no longer be any solid cities.

"Brother Wang, I have already investigated what you asked me to investigate."

Wuhua sprinkled a bag of things in front of Zhou Huan. It was some ironware, handicrafts and other things, as well as some documents.Outsiders would find these things strange, but Zhou Huan saw fear in them.

A unified empire first requires unification of weights and measures, and will also impose strict requirements on mechanical processing, including error tolerances. These things all demonstrate the industrial level of the Western Holy Alliance.

After Chen Yunying suddenly disappeared 30 years ago, the Liang Empire and the countries outside the Guan Dynasty fell into internal disputes. This turmoil even spread to the West. With the rise of King Arthur, in the past ten years, except for normal economic and trade exchanges, everything else in the Western world has It has become a black hole in intelligence - in Yumen Pass, it is actually impossible to find out the details of the West, and even the other party's use of gunpowder is not clear.

The Thunderbolt made Thunderbolts in China, and was suppressed by the imperial court and Jianghu sects at the same time, so will there be people who have Thunderbolt come back to the West and pass on the art of gunpowder manufacturing to the past?
War can greatly promote technology. Zhou Huan would not be surprised at all if a group of soldiers from the Western Alliance, that is, the Holy Alliance, armed with muskets appeared under the city of Gaochang.

"Have the deaths of Li Tanhua and Xie Shenjian been investigated?"

It is not difficult to find out the identity of the person who was able to poison those people on the SF Tower and planted so much gunpowder in the SF Tower.

"There is one person who is very suspicious, but he firmly denies it."

Wuhua showed a helpless expression on his face and said: "Master Wu Bei of Yumen Pass, a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, Cheng Puzhen."

"Tell me."

"He is a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing. He is the son-in-law of Guo Siyu, the prime minister of the imperial court. He was born in the Cheng family in Longnan. He is now a military officer in Yumenguan. He invited Li Tanhua and the others to a banquet and drink in the Shunfeng Building that day, and he is also capable of arranging gunpowder downstairs. .

In the middle of the banquet, he went out for something. When he came back, he found that Li Tanhua and others had been poisoned and died. He said that it was definitely not him, etc. "

"Have you searched and interrogated him?"

"how is this possible?"

Wu Hua shook his head, "He is a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, and he has a very close relationship with Sun Haiyun, the garrison master of Yumen Pass. Sun Haiyun personally guaranteed him, saying that Cheng Bookhen would never do this, etc., and he didn't Reasons to do so.”

"Well, then you just wait for the results of their investigation?"

Zhou Huan said with a frown. "So what? The enemy is now, and Gaochang State needs the support of Yumen Pass. The rear must not be chaotic, and we have no evidence. Wen Shiyin and the others are all from big families, and rash actions will bring big troubles to the family—of course The most important thing is the overall situation. Mr. Sun Haiyun said that this matter will be thoroughly investigated and the murderer will never be let go, but there can be no internal chaos now."

"No chaos?"

Zhou Huan asked in return, "So what is the attitude of everyone who comes to Yumen Pass and prepares to form a group?"

When the enemy invades the west, passionate men will naturally step forward to fight. Wind and rain from all directions gather at Yumen, and many people come here to prepare to fight on the front line.

Li Tanhua, Xie Shenjian and Shaolin Wudang masters are naturally the leaders. Many people are watching and caring about the investigation results of their assassinations.

I can pay for you, but if you think I'm a fool, then I'm sorry.

This is the belief upheld by people in the world. There are only a few people who take the overall situation into consideration. Everyone is more concerned about fairness and justice before death.

"We are working hard to persuade and even defend Cheng Puzhen, saying that it is probably someone else who framed the crime. We will definitely track down the murderer and will never let go of the person responsible."

This is true, people in Wudang Shaolin have died, and they will never let those people go. This is also the reason why Wen Shiyin, Murong Qiudi and others suppressed their hatred. Even if they die in battle, someone will give them an explanation.

"I think you should make a decisive decision at this time, kill him, and then say that he committed suicide and commit suicide to atone for your sins!"

Zhou Huan gave Wuhua advice. At this time, there was a noise outside the door, and Tang Mi and Tang Tian rushed into the manor with Helen.

"what happened?"

Faced with Zhou Huan's inquiry, Tang Mi looked angry.

"Not yet a city guard!"

The aftermath of the destruction of Perak Hall has not been resolved. People in the world are looking for Helen's whereabouts. Some people have offered a very high bonus. There are even rumors that Helen knows where the treasure of Perak Hall is and knows all the secrets of Perak Hall.

Zhou Huan and Tang Yueyue responded by ignoring this, without making excuses, and silently took the woman outside the customs, and then settled her. As a result, when Zhou Huan was poisoned the day before yesterday, Tang Yueyue and others came back, shaking off the veil. Helen was noticed, and then there were various temptations, and the government demanded that Helen be handed over to them.

The attack on Perak Hall caused great uproar in the government and the public. Catching her was also a great achievement.

"Don't those people know our identities, so we killed Du Ziteng?"

Zhou Huan didn't want to be famous, so he gave Tang Yueliang the credit for killing Du Ziteng, and at the same time gave Tang Yueliang the task of protecting Helen while he was healing.

"They know, but they think they are doing things for the court, these dog officials..."

Murong Jiu added from the side, "Our meritorious service has nothing to do with those people. On the contrary, they also want the credit for killing Du Ziteng and others!"

At this moment, there was another noisy sound outside the manor, but this time there were many more people.

The people who came were the city guards, who were directly under Cheng Puzhen of the Yumen Pass Armed Forces.
