The king behind the empress

Chapter 69 The Power of Boiling Water
Hearing Qian Min say that this was not done by them, Wang Fucheng was slightly puzzled, there were not many forces in the imperial court who could use such a large amount of money to assassinate Mo Zizai.

Besides them, could it be... Could it be the clan mansion?
Thinking of this possibility, Wang Fucheng's eyes brightened slightly, "Mr. Qian Ge, have you considered bringing in the clan mansion?"

"Zongren Mansion?"

Qian Min was slightly taken aback, and asked with some uncertainty: "You mean that old thing?"

"That's right, it's him!" Wang Fucheng nodded, and said, "After all, he is a strong man in the human realm. When the late emperor asked Qiu Wuping to take action, he was only severely injured and he was recuperating in the clan mansion."

"If you bring him in, among other things, at least our safety is greatly guaranteed."

"That's good." Qian Min nodded slowly, "Mo Zizai just imprisoned his son in the clan mansion for life two days ago, so it shouldn't be difficult to pull him into the chariot."

For this matter, Qian Min also agrees very much. Mo Zizai is now able to slaughter wantonly in the court. On the one hand, it is because of the [-] Yulin Army outside the capital, and on the other hand, there is Qiu Wuping, a strong human being.

The two are inside and outside, and no one in the capital can resist. If they also have a human realm warrior on their side, it will definitely make Mo Zizai calm down a lot.

"I'll arrange this."

Qian Min looked at Wang Fucheng and said: "As for the victims, when there is no more food, they will probably 'make trouble'. At that time, I hope you can restrain the government soldiers everywhere, let them drive out the rebels as much as possible, and let them They come together."

"Get them together?"

Wang Fucheng was a little hesitant, "Mr. Qian Ge, there is no need for this. If there are too many rebels, it is easy to cause big problems. If they grow stronger..."

"So what about being strong?"

Qian Min didn't take it seriously at all, "What I want is for them to grow. If they don't grow, how can they make a fuss? I just let them make a fuss. The bigger the fuss, the better."

"The bigger the trouble, the more reason King Bei'an has to intervene, and the greater our advantage."

"That being said..."

Seeing such a crazy Qian Min, Wang Fucheng felt a little uncertain in his heart, he couldn't help asking: "Master Qian, aren't you afraid that a single spark can start a prairie fire?"

"Start a prairie fire? What do they use to start a prairie fire?"

Qian Min is not crazy, on the contrary, he is very sober, Mo Zizai is in power now, and he is extremely hostile to these important ministers, he simply regards them as lambs to be slaughtered.

If it is not possible to introduce foreign forces and abolish Mo Zizai, sooner or later these people will die in Mo Zizai's hands.

Therefore, he must do everything possible to let the king of Bei'an take charge of the court, and not give Mo Zizai any chance to struggle.

In this matter, he either does not do it or does it absolutely. He has no way out.

"This time, only three counties are affected. Even if they all gather together, how many people dare to rebel? Even if they can succeed, can they still resist King Bei'an's 30 army?"

"Moreover, when they rebelled, in order to survive, they were like rootless duckweed. As long as there is enough food, these crises can be resolved without even having the king of Bei'an do anything."

"I hope so."

Wang Fucheng always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute Qian Min, so he sighed and said: "I will arrange this matter, and I will also send a secret letter to King Bei'an to let him do it well." Prepare."

"I hope it won't get out of hand."

……

Early the next morning, Mo Zizai took Zhou Qi to the Weapons Bureau.

Looking at the finished things, Mo Zizai nodded in satisfaction, "Ambassador Tao, bring your things and follow me to the Imperial Prison."

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were three departments for making weapons. One was Tao Qiong's management of the Weapons Bureau specializing in making cold weapons, the other was the Firearms Bureau specializing in making firearms, and the last one was the Imperial Supervisor.

The role of the imperial supervisor is different from that of the Arms Bureau and the Firearms Bureau. They are rarely responsible for the manufacture of weapons, but are generally responsible for the research and development of weapons. Most of the new weapons of the Great Zhou come from here.

Although the three departments are equal in name, in fact, the status of the Imperial Prison is higher than that of the Military Weapons Bureau and the Firearms Bureau.

Because most of the personnel of the Imperial Prison come from the Arms Bureau and the Firearms Bureau, and only those with senior qualifications or talents in certain fields can enter the Imperial Prison.

For example, Tao Qiong's former ambassador chose to join the Imperial Prison after resigning from the Military Weapons Bureau. If there is no accident, when Tao Qiong resigns, he will probably join the Imperial Prison.

So, nominally, the three divisions are equal, but in fact, most of the imperial prisons are old bosses of the other two divisions, so how can they be equal in status.

Most of the imperial prisons were gray-haired old men, and when they got the news that Mo Zizai was coming, they didn't dare to neglect, and came out ahead of time.

"The envoy of the imperial supervisor, Deng Zhi, has met the prince."

Among the crowd in the imperial prison, a burly old man with beard and hair came up to him and saluted Mo Zizai.

"Producer Deng doesn't need to be too polite."

Mo Zizai bowed his hands slightly in exchange for a salute. In his opinion, these talents are really the pillars of the Great Zhou, so he respects them very much.

Seeing that Mo Zizai actually returned the gift, Deng Zhi couldn't help being slightly surprised. He had never dealt with Mo Zizai before, but only heard that Mo Zizai beheaded more than 20 ministers in court.

Originally, he thought that a person who could do such a thing would be very domineering and kill someone if he disagreed with him, but he was unexpectedly approachable.

"I don't know why the prince came here this time?"

Deng Zhi was originally from the Military Weapons Bureau, and he was considered a traditional craftsman, so his personality was relatively straightforward. He didn't invite Mo Zizai in, so he asked Mo Zizai directly at the door why he came.

"Go ahead and talk about it."

Mo Zizai asked people to move the things into the imperial prison, then glanced at the crowd that surrounded a large circle, and said to Deng Zhi: "Producer Deng, this matter needs to be kept secret, let the others disperse first."

After everyone was cleared away by Deng Zhiqing, Mo Zizai took out what Tao Qiong built yesterday.

"Producer Deng, have you ever seen boiling water?"

"Ok?"

Deng Zhi was directly stunned by Mo Zizai's question, "My lord, why do you ask this? Boiling water, how could I have never seen it before."

"Then have you ever seen the power to boil water?"

Mo Zizai did it himself, poured water into the sealed boiler made by Tao Qiong, and then put it on a carbon fire to start boiling water.

Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine Mo Zizai was selling in the gourd, but his identity was here, so no one dared to raise objections, and could only stand by and watch quietly.

The cylinder that Mo Zizai asked Tao Qiong to build was only one meter in size, so it took a long time to use it, and the water boiled.

But because this cylinder is completely sealed, only a long hollow iron pipe leads to the outside, so the water vapor can only be discharged from the iron pipe under the action of pressure.

"Woo~~~"

When the water vapor was discharged, the sound was very sharp, and at the same time, a large amount of water vapor rolled upwards, and the scene was quite spectacular for a while.
