Chapter 638 Diamonds are forever

Hearing Jiang Zhimian's words, Chi Mohan moved closer to see what she was holding.

It's just that he is not very proficient in minerals, looking at the black powder in Jiang Zhimian's hand, he doesn't know what it is.

Jiang Zhimian then explained, "This black powder is unprocessed nitrate."

"You used it to make ice cream." Chi Mohan has a good memory.

Jiang Zhimian nodded, "Nitrate is used to make firecrackers, fireworks and explosives. It is a very important ore, more precious than iron, but Mei Zhao did not report this kind of thing."

The reason can be imagined.

Chi Mohan also recalled it carefully, and it was true that the ore such as nitric acid was not written on the warehouse's accounting statement.

"Could it be that the content was too low, so it wasn't reported?" Chi Mohan asked.

Jiang Zhimian shook his head, "I took a look. Along the way, there are powders of saltpeter falling everywhere in the mine, and it fell here at the back. People come and go, and they are trampled into powder."

And this kind of situation shows that people often transport saltpeter outside and spill it in the process, so that so much powder is left behind.

As for how much was shipped out, Jiang Zhimian wasn't sure.

The only thing that is certain is that the number must be large.

"Mei Zhao definitely wouldn't have hidden the huge amount of saltpeter in the iron mine. Where was it sent?" Jiang Zhimian began to ponder.

While talking, Mei Zhao's sharp voice came from outside.

"Little Princess, General Mo, are you inside?"

Jiang Zhimian straightened up quickly, wiped the saltpetre clean in his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "Eunuch Mei, we are here."

It was only a cup of tea before they entered the mine. Mei Zhao came in such a hurry because he was worried that his secret would be discovered?

While thinking, Mei Zhao had already arrived in front of the two of them, also holding a lantern, under the dim light, that pale face looked even more terrifying.

"Little princess, you are a rich man, why did you come to this kind of place? Just tell me what you need. I'll send someone to the palace just like last time." Mei Zhaopi said with a smile. .

Jiang Zhimian waved his hands indifferently, "I grew up in the countryside, so I don't stick to these things. Eunuch Mei, don't be nervous. I came here to see if there are any diamonds in it."

"Diamond? What is it?" Mei Zhao was confused.

Jiang Zhimian then explained, "I've also heard that there is a kind of stone in the world that is transparent, like crystal clear ice, and extremely tough. Nothing can cut it except yourself. It represents love. Something that is faithful."

"There is such a thing in the world?" Mei Zhao was very confused.

Simply unheard of ah!
Jiang Zhimian stuck out his tongue playfully, "I've heard it too, it's said to be found in the ore, so come here to try your luck, it's not good to take advantage of the crowded time, when everyone will know, what should I do if I find it and hide it?" ?”

"It turned out to be because of this." Although Mei Zhao still didn't believe it in his heart, he began to express his favor on the face, "I will let those people pay attention tomorrow. If they dig it up, they will definitely give it to the little princess and never keep it private. of."

"Okay, if you find rubies, sapphires, yellow diamonds, etc., remember to give them to me." Jiang Zhimian said.

Although looking for gems is just an excuse, if she can really find them and make them into jewelry, she still likes them very much.

Mei Zhao agreed one by one, and then sent Jiang Zhimian and Chi Mohan away from the mine.

When he got out of the mine, Jiang Zhimian realized that it was already dark, with two or three stars interspersed on the pitch-black night, and the half-circle crescent dimly illuminating the path.

The horse I rode was tied to the door when I came here, and I got impatient, white foam came out of my big nostrils, and when I shook my head, it flew everywhere.

Chi Mohan took off his outer robe and wrapped Jiang Zhimian in it.

It was a small fox, which looked even more petite inside the outer robe, only its small head and those clear eyes were exposed.

"Eunuch Mei, let's go first, see you later." Jiang Zhimian said.

Eunuch Mei smiled slightly, "It's really affectionate for General Mo to spoil the little Princess. Well, then, I won't send it off. Little Princess and General Mo should be careful on the way."

After watching the two of them ride away on horseback, they turned cold.

Turning around, looking at the guard in front of him who informed him, he asked, "Did they ask you anything?"

"Returning to Eunuch Mei, no, the little princess just said he wanted to go in and have a look, and asked for a lantern, so his subordinates hurried to inform Eunuch Mei."

What happened next, Mei Zhao was very clear.

Mei Zhao couldn't help nodding, "I still think there's something wrong with the diamonds I'm looking for."

"Then... Eunuch Mei, otherwise, let's give the little Princess..."

Before the guard finished speaking, Mei Zhao raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't worry, let's see if you are looking for this first, and then talk about it, in case the matter is revealed."

For this matter, Mei Zhao has a [-]% chance of winning.

Even if Jiang Zhimian found out his little secret, so what if he knew that he was using saltpeter as explosives?
Will she be able to find where she keeps her saltpeter?

As long as you can't find it, it's just nonsense.

And Jiang Zhimian has already returned to the palace.

As soon as he went back, Goudaner anxiously pulled Jiang Zhimian to the yard.

After entering the house, he quickly closed the door and window, then took out the little mouse from under the bed and brought it to Jiang Zhimian.

The little mouse in the mousetrap is jumping around alive and kicking, and there is no clue.

"Huh? How could it be like this..." Goudan'er was stunned, "Just now it was like crazy, flicking its feet in the cage vigorously."

"Bouncing feet?" Jiang Zhimian couldn't help frowning.

Goudaner nodded, "That's right, it's like having epilepsy, kicking your feet all the time, but not foaming at the mouth, just like that."

As she spoke, she lay on the bed and demonstrated it to Jiang Zhimian.

"This is not epilepsy, it may be acute heart disease." Jiang Zhimian said.

"Heart disease?" Goudan'er can roughly understand what it means.

Jiang Zhimian nodded, "Yes, try again, give it a bigger dose this time, and see how it goes."

Mice are different from humans, and the dose they can tolerate is very small, so even under the dose that humans do not feel anything, mice can already show symptoms.

The sudden collapse and convulsions were probably related to the toxin in the wine jar.

Try again, if the mouse still has this situation, then dissect the mouse and you will get the answer.

With the evidence, it is easy to deal with the eldest son.

While Jiang Zhimian was collecting evidence of Bai Yishen's poisoning, something happened on Bai Yishen's side.
