Chapter 95 Mingyue Tower

Murong Qing gave Ping'er a wink quietly, and after Ping'er understood, he took two steps forward.

"General, my wife is not feeling well right now. Why don't you just let me take care of her."

"That's fine, Madam, come and report to me anytime if there is anything going on." Pei Mo thought for a moment, and before leaving, he reluctantly glanced at Murong Qing.

The door to the room was closed, and Murong Qing instantly sat up from the bed, his face returning to the seriousness it had just now.

"There must be something wrong with this apple!"

Ping'er didn't seem too surprised by Murong Qing's reaction, and walked directly to Murong Qing's side.

"Madam, what are you going to do next?"

Murong Qing rolled his eyes, glanced out the window warily, quietly waved to Ping'er and whispered a few words in her ear.

"You go to Mingyue Tower immediately and call Ruyan over. I have something to ask her."

"I'll go right away."

After Ping'er received the order, she stood up and was about to leave. Murong Qing couldn't help but tell her from behind: "Remember, you must be careful about this matter and don't let anyone notice it."

On the surface, Mingyue Tower is a hotel, but in fact, its true identity is an intelligence point developed by Murong Qing in the capital, specializing in collecting all kinds of information for Murong Qing.

In order to prevent the leakage of information, this intelligence point was operated secretly. Except for Murong Qing and the people from Mingyue Tower, no one else knew about it.

The smell of gunpowder on the apple seemed very unusual to Murong Qing, so her intelligence organization also came in handy.

"I understand, madam, I will definitely be careful."

Not long after Ping'er left the General's Mansion, he sneaked into the General's Mansion quietly through the back door with a mysterious woman. Under Ping'er's leadership, the two of them arrived at Murong Qing's room without any danger.

"Ruyan, how is the situation at Mingyue Tower recently?" As soon as Murong Qing saw Ruyan, he took her hand and exchanged a few words.

Ruyan has a graceful figure, beautiful appearance, and a sharp eye. Murong Qing has developed her into his right-hand man, and is now the second-in-command of Mingyue Tower.

When Murong Qing was away, Ruyan took charge of everything in Mingyue Tower and had won Murong Qing's trust.

When Ruyan saw Murong Qing, she hurriedly saluted: "Boss, Mingyue Building has been developing well recently. I have already developed several more downlines."

Murong Qing raised his eyebrows, smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Ruyan's work efficiency.

"Well, I can rest assured that you can handle the matter," Murong Qing helped Ruyan up and pulled her to sit down next to him, "but this matter must be done carefully and carefully, and no one can discover it, otherwise our efforts will be wasted.

.”

"You don't have any problems with the people you develop, right?" Although he was relatively reassured about Ruyan's work, Murong Qing couldn't help but ask one more question, but he was cautious about sailing the ship for ten thousand years.

Ruyan vowed: "Their identities have been strictly investigated. I personally checked them. They are now the second bedroom of Zhang Shangshu's family, the fifth bedroom of Li Shilang's family, and the third bedroom concubine of Mr. Zhao of the Ministry of War.

, they are all our people.”

"That's very good. I'll feel relieved if you take care of it."

Murong Qing was very satisfied with this. After making sure that there was no problem with the identity of those who joined the intelligence network, he turned the topic to the matter of apples becoming gunpowder.

"Ruyan, something strange happened to me just now," Murong Qing said as he picked up the apple that Pei Mo had just sent and handed it to Ruyan, "I smelled some gunpowder on this apple, and I felt It’s very strange. Do you know if anything is going to happen in the capital recently?”

Ruyan picked up the apple and smelled it, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, she also smelled some gunpowder.

"There is indeed a smell of gunpowder," but Ruyan lowered her head and thought for a while, her frown gradually relaxed, and her mood seemed very relaxed, "But there is no need to panic, boss. This matter is actually nothing to make a fuss about."

Murong Qing was very surprised, and Ruyan explained to her: "I remember yesterday, the concubine of Li Shilang's family told me that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Mr. Li went everywhere to buy some gunpowder, preparing to make firecrackers secretly. If you sell it, you can make a lot of money."

"I think Mr. Li may have taken a fancy to this business opportunity, and other officials may have followed suit. After all, no one can live with money."

Ruyan felt that her explanation was reasonable, while Ping'er stood aside and nodded.

"Miss Ruyan is right. This seems to be the most reasonable explanation at the moment. Although these officials are a bit greedy, it is not a big deal after all. Madam, you don't have to worry too much."

Although both of them agreed with this point of view, Murong Qing thought about it and always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, and kept his brows furrowed.

The other two people's eyes were all focused on Murong Qing, not quite understanding what she was thinking.

"No, I always feel that this matter is not that simple." Murong Qing went through everything carefully in his mind, feeling more and more strange, "But what does gunpowder have to do with apples? These two Why can these things be mixed together?”

The three people in the room were silent. The smell of gunpowder was clearly explained, but why it stuck to the apple was a question that no one considered.

After a long time, Murong Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, he patted his head and said, "I understand, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the firecrackers!"

"What did the boss think of?" Ruyan was a little confused.

"Even if the gunpowder is used to make firecrackers and sold, it is also used on official ships, but these apples are used on cargo ships." Murong Qing paused for a while, giving the two people some time to think, "That's strange. It’s strange, how could the gunpowder end up on the cargo ship?”

There is only one explanation. In addition to these officials, there are also a group of people who are secretly transporting gunpowder to the capital. However, no one knows what the purpose of these people is.

After hearing what Murong Qing said, Ruyan and Heping'er also felt that this matter was not that simple. They both became wary and their expressions became more serious.

"Boss, do you think someone is going to use this batch of goods to do something bad?" Ruyan drew an inference based on the information provided by Murong Qing.

Murong Qing nodded and was about to answer the question when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

Then Pei Mo's concerned voice came.

"Are you feeling better? I asked someone to make you a bowl of hawthorn ginger sugar tea. It's appetizing and can dispel the cold. Drink some and you'll feel better."

Hearing this sound, everyone in the room was startled.

Ping'er subconsciously wanted to run to open the door, but suddenly realized something was wrong, quickly turned around and retreated to the original place, turning to Murong Qing anxiously.

"Madam, the general is here!"
