The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

After evenly sprinkling a layer of powder on the entire roof, the man in black stopped and jumped off the roof with the sack, ready to look for the next target.

"Busy working?"

Just as he was about to leave, a rough voice exploded in his ears.

The man in black was immediately alarmed, his eyes rolled twice, and he picked up the sack and threw it towards the source of the sound.

"Oh my god!" Zhu Li, who was ordered to wait for the opportunity, exclaimed, quickly dodged to the side, raised his strong leg and kicked the man in black hard in the stomach.

The man in black groaned after being kicked by him, staggered back several steps, and the sack in his hand fell to the ground.

Zhu Li didn't waste any time talking to him. He rushed forward and swung his huge fist at him.

The man in black managed to dodge a few times, but he was no match for Zhu Li. Soon, Zhu Li punched him in the temple, and he fell to the ground with his eyes black.

"Closing the net!" Zhu Li shouted, picking up the fallen sack with one hand and grabbing the black-clothed man's feet with the other, dragging him to the designated location to report. He also exclaimed as he walked, "My boss is awesome, a wise little Zhuge!"

As agreed, they arrived at the most prosperous small square in the city. In the moonlight, Zhu Li found that there were already many people standing in the square.

Lu Xiuyuan, Xia Younan, Xiong Fei, Chan Mu, Jun Ziyao, and some people dressed as soldiers.

They stood in the outer circle, surrounded by a dozen masked men in black.

Some of the masked men fell to the ground, their life or death unknown; others were tied up with ropes, shouting that if someone had the guts, they would kill them. They would not say anything.

"Oh, I thought I, Old Zhu, had completed the task quickly enough, but I didn't expect that everyone was more skillful than me!"

While shouting loudly, Zhu Li dragged the masked man in black in his hand and ran towards them at a faster speed, not caring at all that the man in black was rubbed bloody by the ground.

"Thank you for your hard work. Come here quickly." Xia Younan called him, walked forward, grabbed the other leg of the man in black, and threw him into the pile of men in black together with Zhu Li.

"Hehe, boss, I found that this kid sprinkled the powder in this sack on the roof. I wonder what this is." Zhu Li smiled and handed the sack in his hand to Xia Younan.

Xia Younan took the sack, opened it and took a look, then calmly threw it to the ground.

There were also a dozen identical sacks on the ground, probably containing the same things.

"We've researched it and found that all the sacks are filled with gunpowder, which is the material removed from fireworks or firecrackers." Lu Xiuyuan replied with a frown.

"What is that? Why are they spreading it on the roof?" Zhu Li asked in confusion.

Xia Younan explained: "Gunpowder is flammable and explosive. They scattered it on the roof, which must have something to do with the house fire.

"But we don't understand how they started the fire. After all, the people said that they didn't see anyone approaching the roof when the fire started."

"Ask them, they will definitely know." Zhu Li stared at the embarrassed men in black.

Xia Younan raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: "I asked them, but they were very stubborn and refused to tell me."

"You don't want to talk? Damn it, there's no mouth in this world that Old Zhu can't pry open!" Zhu Li yelled with his eyes wide open, picked up a sober man in black and walked away, "Leave the boss to me, it won't take more than a quarter of an hour."

Soon, Zhu Li came back carrying the man like a chicken, and said with a happy face, "He is willing to confess."

Xia Younan was startled and asked curiously, "What did you do to him? We just used threats and inducements."

Zhu Li smiled cunningly and replied, "It's nothing. I just pulled off his pants and threatened to cut off his penis. He got excited and agreed to confess."

"..." Three lines slid across Xia Younan's forehead, and he thought speechlessly: As expected, evildoers need to be dealt with by evildoers.

The man in black was really frightened by Zhu Li. Without waiting for them to ask any more questions, he tremblingly told them the truth of the matter.

It turned out that they did not set fire to the house directly, but used a tool to create the illusion that the house was burning on its own without anyone approaching.

That thing is a convex lens!

That is a magnifying glass.

Although Ye Beimo is cruel, he is actually quite smart.

He first had people sprinkle flammable and explosive gunpowder powder on the roof in advance. Then, when the sun was at its hottest during the day, he hid in a tree or a hidden spot near the house, took out a convex lens, found the best angle to converge the light, and refracted the sunlight onto the roof.

Because the concave lens has a light-transmitting effect, when light is directly shone on the mirror surface, it will focus the light hitting its surface into a beam, causing it to heat up rapidly, and when it reaches the ignition point of the gunpowder powder, it will burn.

Something like gunpowder powder will explode quickly if a spark appears.

They also deliberately chose a wooden house because the recent consecutive sunny days had baked the wood extremely dry and it would catch fire easily, making the fire so big that it was difficult to put out.

At this point, the truth behind the so-called "fire from heaven burning the house" has been revealed.

After listening to this, Lu Xiuyuan and the others cursed Ye Beimo's insidiousness and cunningness, but also sincerely admired his intelligence and talent.

According to the man in black, the special ink used to write on the statue was also invented by Ye Beimo.

It can be seen that Ye Beimo is very proficient in chemistry and physics, and is a resourceful person. It's a pity that he has evil intentions!

"We understand. Next, tell us about the wild animals entering the city." Xia Younan folded his arms and looked at the man in black on the ground and asked.

"This..." The man in black hesitated.

Xia Younan frowned and gave Zhu Li a wink. Zhu Li immediately understood and rolled up his sleeves to catch him.

"It seems you're still not convinced. Come on, I'll let you have a taste of what it's like to have no descendants."

The black-clothed man's hair stood on end when he saw this, and he shouted in fear, "Stop! I confess!"

As the night fades and the sky gradually brightens, hardworking people wake up from their sleep and go out to start their day's work.

Lu Xiuyuan and his companions stayed in the square where the crowd was the most densely populated, and they were soon discovered.

When they heard that they wanted to uncover the truth about the "apparition of the mountain god", everyone hurriedly called their friends and gathered around to find out the truth of the matter.

Jun Zhonglin, who had just finished attending the morning court, also hurried over after being informed of the news by his subordinates.

Soon, the huge square was surrounded by people, and everyone was talking and discussing what they were going to do next.

Xia Younan looked at the huge crowd in front of him and knew that the time had come. He first made a megaphone with his hand and shouted loudly for the people to be quiet, and then said seriously:

"Everyone, to be honest, a few days ago we were ordered by the city lord to secretly investigate the so-called 'apparition of the mountain god'. After our unremitting efforts, we have thoroughly figured out the whole story."

"I can now solemnly tell you that all the strange phenomena you have experienced before were not the manifestation of the mountain gods, but human tricks! Moreover, we have found all the evidence and can explain all the strange phenomena from a scientific perspective."
