This year's monsters are super fierce [75]

The death of Qian Duo confirmed the problem of fake firecrackers in Wangzhu Fireworks Shop.

The production and sale of fireworks requires a license issued by the imperial court.The Ji family has obtained two certificates since ten years ago. These years, they have contracted [-]% of Jiangnan's fireworks and firecrackers, and are suppliers of many firecracker shops.

Could the two explosions on the fifth day of the first lunar month be just the beginning?

Xiao Ji's family was taken directly to the yamen, and the yamen even issued an emergency notice overnight, but don't let go of any firecrackers bought by Ji's family.

Before finding out which link went wrong, Ji's firecrackers and fireworks were labeled as high-risk, and it was hard to say when they would be removed.

"The good news is that so far, there have been no bombings in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area."

At night on the seventh day of the first lunar month, when Zhan Zhao came back from Ji's workshop, most of the firecracker production has been investigated.

"His family manufactures firecrackers and fireworks in two places, and those sold to dealers in Suzhou and Hangzhou are made in the western suburbs of Songjiang County. There is still a set of people hired by Lao Ji's family there. The Yamen has thoroughly checked all the finished products in the warehouse, and there are none of them. Flaw."

The problematic one is the batch sold to Songjiang County.

The self-produced and sold products of Wangzhu Fireworks Shop are made in the northern suburbs, which is the small workshop of the Ji family when it first made a fortune, and it was handed over to Qian Duo to manage by Xiao Ji's owner.

Half a year ago, when Qian Duo took over the place, he dismissed a group of old employees one after another. Now the management of the firecracker workshop in the eastern suburbs is very chaotic.

Just judging from the storage of fireworks in the warehouse, it is really the blessing of the ancestors of the Ji family to burn high incense to maintain the fire and explosion accidents until now.

"Is it good that no one was injured in Suzhou and Hangzhou? On the night of the fifth day of the lunar new year, fake firecrackers exploded in twelve families."

Although Bai Yutang didn't know these unlucky people, how could he suppress his anger.Those people were originally celebrating the New Year to welcome the God of Wealth, who would have thought that impermanence would usher in their lives.

"So far, including the six members of the Qian family, 49 people have died in Songjiang County."

During the Chinese New Year, 49 people died in vain.

Even if the government issued a ban on release, if the person who deliberately turned firecrackers into gun//powder is not found out one day, another vicious/sexual/explosion/explosion/explosion may be detonated at any time.

Right now, Xiao Ji's family doesn't understand the situation of the Dongjiao Firecracker Factory at all, and its chaotic management makes it difficult to quickly determine which link has gone wrong.It seems that anyone can touch the firecrackers in stock casually.

Transforming firecrackers, the most important technology for making gunpowder.

The group of skilled veterans who were dismissed by Qian Duo were first included in the scope of investigation.

When the yamen was short of manpower, Yan Buzhou also joined the investigation team separately.These days, she wandered back and forth around Songjiang Mansion, looking up the old masters on the list one by one.

As the list became shorter and shorter, more and more people were ruled out as suspects.If she hadn't been sure that the firecracker workshop and the blown fake firecrackers had no ghost smell left, she would really have wondered whether there were demons and ghosts who used magic to create those problematic firecrackers.

"Firecrackers exploding?"

Old man Hua fell into a short silence after hearing the ill-spoken intentions.He is the veteran of the Ji family firecracker workshop, and he retired two years ago.

"Ever since I worked in the Beijiao workshop, Mr. Ji's rules are very strict, and this kind of thing has never happened. It is impossible for the proportion of saltpetre to be wrong."

Would rather go more than miss it.

Yan Buzhou visited the old man Hua, and what is worth noting now is the strange pause of the old man Hua. "There has been no accident in these years, so it means that something happened earlier. Could it be before the Ji family made a fortune?"

Old man Hua hesitated for a long time, and finally revealed a history of Lao Ji's fortune.

If the Ji family can expand the fireworks business, it must be inseparable from two words - technology.

New-style firecrackers, gorgeous fireworks, etc., all of which need to have secret recipes in hand. Lao Ji is said to be self-made, but he didn't have much ability to make firecrackers at the beginning.

"Lao Ji's family has a cousin. After the parents of Mrs. Wang died, she came from other places to find Lao Ji's family to fulfill the marriage contract. 20 years ago, Lao Ji was married, so the matter was over.

Lao Ji promised to find a reliable marriage for Mrs. Wang, so that she can stay in Songjiang County with peace of mind, and the two get along as brothers and sisters.Later, they started the fireworks business together. "

Ms. Wang's hobbies are different from most women's. She likes to play with saltpeter, sulfur and other things. It is she who developed the first generation firecracker fireworks formula of Wangzhu Fireworks.

The development of two words is easy to say, but in fact it took more than three years.

"I've never met Mrs. Wang, but I've heard old folks talk about her. During those three years, Mrs. Wang worked really hard. She stayed in the suburbs to make formulas. Many people saw her lose a lot of weight.

It's a pity that Mrs. Wang didn't have a happy life. When Wangzhu Fireworks Shop became famous, she was dying of terminal illness.The original handsome appearance turned into a skeleton body, and he went away after a while. "

The old man Hua went on to get to the point, "It is said that Mrs. Wang's serious illness was caused by an explosion. I don't know much, it seems that the amount of charcoal was mixed wrongly, and the back was injured. The injury did not heal repeatedly, and she passed away after half a year gone."

'The name of Wangzhu's store should have been Wang Zhu, Wang is Mrs. Wang's surname, and Zhu is the name of Lao Ji's family. '

Because of this sentence, before Yan Buzhou left, he specifically asked where the tomb of Mrs. Wang was, and was told that she had left a last word to sleep with Huo forever.

Mrs. Wang was cremated after her death. She was unmarried and had no children. Everything she had was given to her cousin Ji Zhu's family.

Over the next decade or so, the Ji family's firecracker and fireworks business grew bigger and bigger.

Old man Hua said that Mrs. Wang's death may have always been in the mind of Mrs. Wang's death, and that's why he paid so much attention to the production rules of firecrackers and fireworks. Since then, there have been no accidents.

Yan Buzhou paid attention to another point, after the death of Mrs. Wang, who will develop the new products of the Ji Family Fireworks Shop?

"Grandpa Hua said that Ji Zhu took over the research and development of new fireworks himself. For more than ten years, Ji Zhu often went to the bamboo forest three miles away from the northern suburbs workshop, which was originally the experimental site of Mrs. Wang. Until a year and a half ago, Ji Zhu was It was found that the anger entered the lungs, and the body deteriorated until it stopped, and the place was demolished."

The so-called anger enters the lungs, which is not well understood. Long-term exposure to fireworks and firecrackers will inevitably lead to problems such as lung pneumoconiosis.

Bai Jintang also inquired about Ji's family from his friends in Jiangnan Trading Company.

It was not his intention that Xiao Ji transferred his business to the silk industry. In fact, Ji Zhu started to make arrangements after the onset of illness.

"I have met Lao Ji a few times. There are not many businessmen like him in Jiangnan."

What Bai Jintang said was that Ji Zhu was not close to women, and he never took concubines before he became rich, and he was the same as before when he became rich.

It is said that Ji Zhu and his wife Yuan Yu are deeply in love.

Ten years ago, Ji Zhu's wife passed away first. After that, not only did he not remarry, but he never set foot in the brothel Chu Guan.He lived a life of pure heart and few desires, and loved his only son in every possible way, so he inevitably spoiled Xiao Ji.

However, Xiao Ji's head is completely different from his father.

So far, he has not married a wife, but he has already taken eight concubines. Any good family who loves his daughter has long listed him as a household that refuses to communicate.

"Ji family, it's quite interesting."

After Yan Buzhou learned about the history of Wangzhu Fireworks Shop, he always felt unspeakable.

The story of the cousin and the cousin is one of the favorite selections of the storybook.

Mrs. Wang and Ji Zhu originally had an oral engagement, but Ji Zhu got married first. Mrs. Wang not only did not blame her, but also helped him start his business.

Wang Zhu, Wang Zhu.

How does it feel for Ji Zhu's wife to name the shop after this homonym?

Seeing the start-up go through the difficult period, one of the founders died suddenly.In this era of peace in the ground, Mrs. Wang chose cremation in a very trendy way, so that later generations would not be able to do an autopsy.

Six years after Mrs. Wang's death, Ji Zhu's wife also died.

People in the world are often forgetful, and few people still remember Mrs. Wang, which all say that Ji Zhu loves his wife deeply.

Outside, Bai Yutang's shout interrupted the conversation. "Mr. Yan, come out quickly. Your dog is on fire!"

But before a stick of incense.

Bai Yutang passed by the back kitchen to find something to eat, and he was on the verge of running to find the whereabouts of the firecrackers that Qian Duo had stolen and sold these days.

The front foot stepped into the kitchen, and a black lump sprang out from under the stove, rushing towards his feet.Taking a closer look, it is not the little Heitan brought by Zhan Zhao.

This pup has such good teeth that he actually bit the leash and sneaked into the kitchen when no one was prepared.

Bai Yutang took a few steps back, not wanting Xiao Heitan to shake the ashes onto his lap, but Gouzi watched him closely.

Little Heitan actually gave up looking for food, turned his tail into a paddle wheel, and circled Bai Yutang with all his might.

"Sure enough, it's a silly cat raising a silly dog. What are you staring at me for?"

Bai Yutang turned to the right and Xiao Heitan also turned to the right, he took his left foot and Xiao Heitan also turned to the left, for a while Gouzi really showed inseparability towards him.

"Xiao Heitan, both of your masters are busy, and I'm so busy that I haven't had a good bite for several days. Don't follow me, let me go get some noodles and scramble a plate of eggs for you, how about it?"

"Wow!" Xiao Heitan yelled, seeming to understand Bai Yutang's words, he stepped back and sat quietly waiting for the scrambled eggs.

One person and one dog, having afternoon tea together in the kitchen.

Bai Yutang was full and didn't want to move, but Xiao Heitan kept arching his calf, which meant that he wanted him to take the dog for a walk.

"You have to play after eating, why can't you take a good rest?"

Bai Yutang couldn't help but ask, "It's said that things are like masters, so is it true that silly cats have the same nature as you?"

Bai Yutang said so, but after being rubbed around by a puppy, he resigned himself to going for a walk with the dog.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Heitan walked halfway and started circling, squatting on his hind legs, and what he pulled out was not dog dung, but a ball of flames.

Hearing this, Yan Buzhou ran out of the flower hall, and saw the flames gradually extinguished an inch above the ground.

Little Heitan looked at the tail in a little bewilderment, as if he knew that something unusual had just been pulled out of its body.

"You went to the kitchen to steal fire and eat?"

Yan Buzhou felt that it was unlikely that Xiao Heitan hadn't eaten enough normal food.Even though she is busy these days, she still pays attention to the dog's food.

Now I think of Feng Huang saying that Fudou will feed on fire, and a little milk dog like Xiao Heitan will awaken this kind of food need one day.Recipes are not limited to fire, there are combustibles associated with it.

In this way, it is not accidental that Xiao Heitan has his eye on Bai Yutang.Bai Yutang was almost bombed a few days ago, probably since then, the little milk dog has identified the strong smell of gunpowder on Bai Wuye.

Yan Buzhou thought about it, why didn't he think that he could use the help of Xiao Heitan to speed up and find out the hidden danger of the firecracker explosion case.

"Xiao Heitan, can you smell fire/powder? Then can you smell who has the heaviest?"

Xiao Heitan tilted his dog's head, then stepped forward with short legs, and rushed towards Bai Yutang's shoe.

When Bai Jintang saw this, four words popped out of his mind

——The dog takes the mouse, this scene couldn't be more vivid.

Yan Buzhou hid his smile, bent down and waved to Xiao Heitan, the milk dog still hugged Bai Yutang tightly and refused to let go.

She had no choice but to suggest helplessly, "Master Bai Wu, why don't you go around Songjiang County with Xiao Heitan, and try to find out who made the fake firecrackers before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Even if you can't find it, Xiao Heitan will Can sniff out more hidden problem crackers."

Although the process of making fake firecrackers is still unclear, the whereabouts of the goods sold from Wangzhu Huahuo shop has been roughly determined.

The yamen has checked them out one by one to see if they are adulterated, and it is difficult to find out that the goods were secretly seized and sold by Qian Duo.

Zhan Zhao originally wanted to search out the account books from the Qian family, but he was greedy for money and did not leave a clear record in black and white.The words are vague, like a code book, and people have to run around to verify them.

The only one who knows the inside story of Qian Duo's embezzlement is his wife.

Unfortunately, on the night when the Qian family's fake firecrackers exploded, Mrs. Qian Duo was one of the four seriously injured. Those four died before noon on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

When the incident happened on the fifth day of the lunar new year, the Songjiang Mansion went all out to deal with the firecracker explosion.

In the past few days, I have tried my best to inform the surrounding counties of possible hidden dangers, but what if the firecrackers sold for more money are sold far enough?

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all states and counties have the custom of setting off fireworks and firecrackers during the Lantern Festival.

There are still five days, and not everyone will obediently follow the ban on release.

What's more, the firecrackers sold by Qian Duo were not marked as produced by Ji's family. The buyer thought that those firecrackers were not problematic, and there was a high possibility that they would not be aware of the danger at all.

Bai Yutang stepped up to patrol the streets with Xiao Heitan, hoping to find out a little bit.

On the other side, Zhan Zhao followed Qian Duo's ambiguous account book records, and in a few days roughly figured out the law of Qian Duo's bookkeeping.

He has come to Xinzhou, Jiangxi from Jiangnan.If the judgment is correct, Chen Mian is a big buyer who sells goods for more money.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Chen Mian was still at home, so he went to the home of Xinzhou Zhizhou to pay New Year's greetings.The two are somewhat related, which also allows Chen Mian's business to grow better and better.

Zhan Zhao didn't care that it was getting dark, so he rushed straight to Zhizhou's house.At the moment, there is no time to waste, and if it is too late, there may be another bombing.

The back door of Zhizhou's house.

Two boys in Chinese clothes ran quietly to the corner of the street, they were seven or eight years old and even a dog would hate it.

One of them took out two hidden firecrackers from his pocket, "They said that we are too young to set off firecrackers alone. Didn't they let me steal two out. Brother, which one of us will come first."

The tall man directly took out the firecracker, "Brother, put the firecrackers on the ground. I'll come first."

Zhan Zhao asked where the magistrate's house was, walked through the alley to the back door, and saw two children not far away about to set off firecrackers.Out of an intuition that has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Seeing that the fuse had been ignited, Zhan Zhao blurted out the word 'run', but instead of retreating, he advanced.

All because at the next moment, the firecracker didn't seem to burst into the sky like an ordinary firecracker, but exploded after flying half a zhang.

"Bang! Boom! Boom—"

A firecracker made three cracking sounds. These are not firecrackers, they are clearly fire and thunder.

The two children were held up by their collars, and when their feet hit the ground, they were frightened.

Looking back blankly, I saw a cloud of black smoke rising two feet away.It wasn't just luck that they weren't injured.

"Blood, the smell of blood."

Chen Dalang reacted first, and saw that Zhan Zhao, who was protecting the two, suddenly turned pale.

From the front, Zhan Zhao was not injured, but Chen Erlang turned his head, Zhan Zhao's red clothes couldn't tell where was the true red of the clothes, and where was the bloody red.

"Hero, don't die. I swear, I will never play with firecrackers again."

Chen Erlang raised his voice and ran towards the magistrate's mansion, "Father, come quickly, the savior can't do it—"

at the same time.

Yan Buzhou also came to Xinzhou Mansion one step later, chasing after Mrs. Wang.

Chen Ming, the current magistrate of Xinzhou, was the magistrate of Songjiang County at that time. During his tenure, Wangzhu Fireworks Shop was founded.

Yan Buzhou had a feeling that Mrs. Wang would be a breakthrough.Although she has passed away, she must be related to the fake firecracker maker that will appear here.

Who would have thought that when he arrived at the gate of Zhizhou's house, he would be thrown a thunderbolt right in front of his head.

A lot of people gathered here to discuss, Mr. Zhan was unconscious after blocking the blow to save the two young masters of Zhizhou from being injured.This will be in the state government emergency rescue.

"Who are you? Hey, don't go in there!"

The door attendants didn't even have time to ask, they looked at the beauty in the black cloak like a mantis holding a cart, they couldn't stop her and let her rush into the Zhizhou mansion.

Yan Buzhou looked at one of them with a sullen face, "Lead the way quickly, I'll find Zhan Zhao."

"Okay, please, please."

The person who was named felt overwhelmed by Mount Tai in an instant, unable to raise any thought of rebuttal at all, his legs were trembling and he trotted towards the mansion.

After going around three times and five times, I finally came to a living room.

At the door stood two terrified boys.The old doctor's voice came from inside.

When Yan Buzhou saw the half-open door, she paused, feeling a little panic.

I only heard the doctor say, "This is the second time I have seen this kind of blast injury after many years of practice. The last time was 17 years ago, in Songjiang, a pregnant woman who was three months pregnant had half of her back injured.

Her situation was more serious than yours. She survived and even saved her child.I just don't know what happened next. "
