Chapter 517 Mystery Case
Fried...fried?
Qin Huaiyu had never thought that the Japanese would have such an ending, but she still felt it was a bit unacceptable in a short period of time.
Based on the intensity of the explosion just now, he was sure that at least more than 200 kilograms of gunpowder were loaded on the ship. Who installed so much gunpowder? When did it be installed? Where was it? Everything was unknown.
However, it is all about blowing early and late, so why do you have to blow it up at the estuary? Can't you explode it when the ship returns to the Japanese island? At least you can get some evidence of absenteeism.
Qin Huaiyu couldn't figure it out and shook her head depressedly.
He kicked the confused guard beside him: "Why are you stunned? Order, leaning over the boat, seeing if there are any living people, and doing your best to rescue him. Alas, it's so miserable. Such a big explosion, probably no living person is alive!"
The guard curled his lips and went down to convey the order.
He didn't believe in rescue, probably because he wanted to see if there was any survivor. If so... well, the guards also followed Qin Huaiyu across the South China Sea, and had also seen the power of gunpowder.
As for the explosion of strength just now, even steel must be exploded. As for people... unless the Japanese are all solid core large iron balls, they will be dead.
This is true. After Qin Huaiyu and others rushed to the sea where the Japanese had an accident, they saw no object that was larger than the size of a human head, except for the mess and blood-stained sea surface.
It was quiet all over the place, except for the sound of waves hitting the side of the ship, the sound of the soldiers from Zuowu Guard gasping on the deck.
"Hiss..., these Japanese people are so angry that they actually make themselves angry."
"Fuck, do you believe this?"
"Hey hey, you're arguing. I see, we should let the Huotou Army make dumplings when we go back tonight. Damn, fortunately, these Japanese ships were not blown up among us, otherwise none of us would have escaped."
"Hey, this is reasonable! I want to eat dumplings at night."
"Get out, I still think it's your meat stuffing. Beef stuffing. Go and try it out to find a beef and see if the general can kill you and sacrifice the flag..."
A group of big-headed soldiers chuckled and celebrated the "residing after the disaster", but Qin Huaiyu frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
To put it bluntly, it’s still the same old saying, who did this?
After the incident of the Japanese stealing secrets, these Japanese people were guarded by their own people, and the same was true for the Japanese warships. During this period, no outsiders boarded the ship, so naturally it was impossible for anyone to bring more than hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder to the ship.
Not to mention, for most Tang soldiers, gunpowder is only known but not known. You just need to make some gunpowder in front of him. At best, these guys treat these things as charcoal powder instead of gunpowder.
So, where did the gunpowder on the ship come from? Are there any people from the navy lurking among your subordinates? Or is it that His Majesty Li Er did not believe in him and went past him to give orders to his men?
No matter which one, it made Qin Huaiyu feel very uncomfortable.
Gunpowder cannot be made by anyone, let alone hundreds of pounds. The ones that can be obtained at the moment are the only ones that Li Dejian can be obtained directly.
Qin Huaiyu became more and more angry the more he thought about it. His eyes swept across the faces of his men who were still chattering, and wanted to find some flaws from it. Even if he didn't pull out this person, he had to know who it was.
But... that guy was so concealing that Qin Huaiyu looked at it for a long time but didn't notice anyone was abnormal. While he was thinking about asking for help, a guard came to report that he found two ocean-going naval warships in the distance, and were sailing towards him.
Qin Huaiyu was so angry that he heard a navy warship coming, and glared: "How dare they come?"
The guard scratched his head for no reason, thinking about the meaning of this sentence. Before he could figure it out, he heard Qin Huaiyu say, "Let's wait here. When they come over, I want to see who dug such a big hole for me."
So, three five-tooth warships that usually sailed inland rivers floated at the mouth of the Yellow River, waiting for the arrival of the naval warship. Soon, the two sides met and after docked, more than a dozen people came over the swings on the naval warship.
The leader fell on the deck and came to Qin Huaiyu with a haha: "Mr. Qin, you were so good at playing this trick just now. Those Japanese people were afraid that they would not know how they died until they died."
Qin Huaiyu snorted, not giving the man a good look: "Lei Yao, Qin dare not take advantage of the navy's merits. Besides, Qin has always believed that he only took fame and fame immediately. He is disdainful of such a sneaky act."
"Ha! Mr. Qin, what do you mean?" Lei Yao was stunned.
He is not the Lei Yao who was so miserable that he was guarding the Chang'an Navy to secretly transport goods to others. Now the Ocean Navy is at its peak. As the actual second-in-commander of the Navy, his power or position is much higher than Qin Huaiyu. His face suddenly became very ugly when he was ridiculed.
"Do I have to say what I mean?" Qin Huaiyu sneered: "You navy did something that he didn't know? You have to let me tell you what he said?"
The Ocean Navy appeared too timely, which forced him to suspect that the Japanese were the ones who were doing it.
Lei Yao didn't expect that he would touch someone's cold butt, and his face turned cold and said, "Mr. Qin, I, Lei Yao, have you ever offended you. Everyone is a man who makes a living at sea. If you have anything to say, it's just that, if I, the navy, really sorry for you, I, Lao Lei, apologize to you in front of all my brothers."
"Okay, that's what you said." Qin Huaiyu pointed his hand into the sea and asked, "Since that's the case, I'll ask you, what's going on with these Japanese people, and how did the Japanese warships explode? Lei Yao, the Ocean Navy's method is really good. Unconsciously, he put down hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder on the Japanese ship and fed all the more than a hundred Japanese people in one fell swoop. But before doing this, have you considered Qin, and did you consider how Qin would explain it after he went back!"
Qin Huaiyu almost yelled at the end, her face turned red.
However, Lei Yao seemed to have been imposed on his body, and he didn't react at all.
After a while, he asked suspiciously: "Qin Huaiyu, do you mean that the Japanese ship was not bombed by you?"
"Fuck me, I do things one by one. If I really blow it up, I will never be buried in my life!"
Baji, Lei Yao blinked his big eyes: "So, what do you mean is we killed these Japanese people?"
"What do you think?"
‘Pa’.
A waterproof letter for the navy was photographed in Qin Huaiyu's arms. Lei Yao said angrily: "This is the order I received. Qin Huaiyu, open your eyes and see what it says."
Qin Huaiyu lowered his head and took a look.
With just one look, I could no longer move my eyes. After a while, I raised my head and said with some uncertainty: "Is this true?"
"What do you say?" Lei Yao returned the original words, and finally added: "Military orders are like mountains, and this thing is all registered. If you don't believe it, you can go back and check it to see if what I said is true."
"Then..., who killed this Japanese? It's not them themselves?"
The letter Qin Huaiyu was holding clearly written, and ordered the navy to follow the Japanese, to control all of them near Danluo, torture and confess to ensure that he did not take away any confidential formula, and finally eliminated the roots. The signature was Li Hao's private seal.
With such an order, Lei Yao had enough evidence to prove that the Japanese did not die at the hands of the ocean navy. After all, they still needed to interrogate the Japanese, and they would not take action before passing this level.
Now, Qin Huaiyu was also confused. He was not himself or a navy. Considering that if His Majesty the Emperor really wanted to kill these Japanese people, there was no need to conspire, and it was impossible for Li Er.
So... Could it be that the Japanese killed themselves?
This is so impossible. Even if the Japanese have this idea, where did their gunpowder come from?
Qin Huaiyu was fascinated. He looked at Lei Yao awkwardly, grinned for a long time before he said, "Well, Lao Lei, you know, I actually don't mean to target the navy."
Lei Yao stood on the side of the ship, staring at the countless broken limbs and arms in the sea below, and responded casually: "Well, what the young master said is good."
The clay man was still angry, not to mention that Lei Yao came to ask Qin Huaiyu for excuses. In the end, the other party not only did not give him any good face, but also almost started fighting. How could Lei Yao not be angry?
Qin Huaiyu didn't know how to speak at this moment. She patted her head for a few times, then suddenly came behind Lei Yao and pointed to one knee: "General Lei, Huaiyu misunderstood the general before. If he offended him, I hope the general will be forgiven."
Lei Yao didn't expect that Qin Huaiyu was so cruel. He gave him such a great gift as a dignified young master. If he continued to carry this, I'm afraid everyone would really not be able to meet again in the future.
At that moment, Lei Yao quickly helped Qin Huaiyu up: "Why do you have to do this? Lei is also wrong in today's matter. If he took out the order earlier, there would be no such misunderstanding."
"Then..., General, don't you blame Huaiyu?"
"What's the point? After all, we are brothers who went out to sea on the same boat and killed pirates together. If they really turned against each other because of such a small matter, wouldn't it be a joke for those bastards?"
Lei Yao said, pointing to the melon-eating crowd who stretched their necks around and yelled, "What are you looking at? You have nothing to do, right? If you have nothing to do, you will go down and get me a head for you. One hundred and thirty-seven heads are missing, and I will take you one less."
One hundred and thirty-seven, it is the number of people sent to fight against the Japanese.
Although Lei Yao looked vulgar, he was also a person with fine and delicate appearance. After he found out that the explosion of the Japanese warship was not done by both sides, he immediately thought that this was a scene directed and acted by the Japanese. Among the Japanese who were sent back, there was a very likely person who wanted to escape.
It was of great importance. Lei Yao did not dare to be careless, so he simply ordered to see people alive and die to see corpses.
If there is a head, you will count the head. If there is no head, you will count the ears, nose, and limbs.
In short, no matter which part of the body, they are all picked up and checked.
In addition, Qin Huaiyu also sent his five-tooth warship out and patrols around the site of the incident on the sea without missing any clues. Even if there was a piece of wooden board and a wisp of water plants floating on the sea, he had to fish it up and see clearly.
After a while, until dark, a total of 103 heads were salvaged, 125 left hand, 97 right hand, 132 ears, and 137 nose.
The number of people was correct, and all the Japanese were indeed dead.
Qin Huaiyu and Lei Yao looked at each other. No one knew what was going on. Their own people didn't do anything. The Japanese... Even if the Japanese could get gunpowder, they wouldn't kill themselves, right?
I thought about it a lot, but at the end I couldn't figure it out.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I will notify Mr. Hou of what happened here now. Let Mr. Hou worry about what happened next. I don't have to do this anymore." Lei Yao completely gave up the idea of continuing to think about it with a pair of dark circles.
Qin Huaiyu was the same, shook his head and said, "I've returned to Beijing too. Anyway, there are enough people. I'll just know that one of these Japanese people didn't run away. I'll talk about other things later."
So, the two groups of people parted ways at the mouth of the Yellow River. Qin Huaiyu took three five-tooth warships upstream and returned to Chang'an. Lei Yao wrote a letter and ordered people to follow the boat and go to Bingzhou to report what happened here to Li Hao.
To put it short, half a month later, what happened in the mouth of the Yellow River reached Chang'an. Li Er was also confused after listening to Qin Huaiyu's report.
He did have other arrangements for the Japanese before, but all of this was handed over to Li Hao. After all, this boy in the Tang Dynasty was the most ruthless and cruelest to the Japanese. Don't worry.
However, Li Er did not expect that before Li Hao had time to attack, all the Japanese were killed.
Without evidence of death, no one knew what happened on the Japanese ship. The case of the Yellow River mouth became a mystery that no one could solve.
Is it that the Japanese killed themselves, or is there someone else attacking them?
Although gunpowder is extremely high-end for the public, it is within reach of some people in the court, such as Changsun Wuji, Chai Shao, Li Daozong, and Li Xiaogong.
Li Er didn't know whether it was their secretly sent someone to do it, nor did he want to know.
It is not necessarily Zheng Banqiao's patent to be a rare confusion, and sometimes it is the same for the emperor.
When Li Hao received the news, he had already reached the Turkic territory, the vast grassland, and the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep. Amid the melodious pastoral singing, the war horses gallop.
Listening to the report of the navy messenger, Li Hao only asked one question: "All the Japanese are dead, right?"
"Yes!"
"That's good. You can go back and tell Lei Yao that there is no need to investigate this matter."
