Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm - Chapter 923 - 923 923 The Cause of the Matter_1
Chapter 923: Chapter 923 The Cause of the Matter_1 Chapter 923: Chapter 923 The Cause of the Matter_1 Moreover, they were unaware that in this world, there was no gunpowder that would explode simply by being stepped on.
All he worried about at this moment was Yang Wenxiao’s safety and feared that explosives might still be hidden within the manor.
However, he knew about the theft of the gunpowder store; that was a scheme arranged specifically between Yang Wenxiao and Emperor Yongan.
Since Sun Junyan’s repeated losses to Qiao Xiaomai, revenge had been inevitable, for neither Yang Wang nor Sun Junyan were ones to let things slide easily.
But after successive setbacks, they had grown wary. Without a solid plan agreed upon, they wouldn’t make a move.
Yet, Qiao Xiaomai’s ability to amass wealth had made Yang Wang green with envy.
A single tricycle had rolled up a million taels of silver, and he could no longer contain his jealousy!
So he couldn’t wait any longer, and he went to consult not only with his mother in the Palace but also with his maternal grandfather.
After much consultation, the group finally settled on a grand scheme: framing Tong Sanlang for rebellion.
Tong Sanlang must die, and he was determined to snatch Qiao Xiaomai away to Prince Duan’s Wang Residence!
To frame someone, solid evidence was necessary, and not just any evidence. Qiao Xiaomai had gained much favor with Yang Wenxiao. If the evidence wasn’t irrefutable, the false accusation would surely backfire and leave them tainted with scandal.
After much deliberation, they set their sights on the gunpowder.
If they could steal the gunpowder, on one hand, they could frame Tong Sanlang for rebellion, and on the other hand, they could keep it for their own use.
Over the past half year, Yang Wang had increasingly fallen out of favor with Emperor Yongan. Under such circumstances, his distance from the crown prince position only grew greater.
So if necessary, forcing the Palace was a part of their plan.
Thus, the theft of the gunpowder was decided upon.
The assassination of the crown prince was also decided upon.
Yang Wenxiao had been keeping a watchful eye on Yang Wang and the Liu Family. As soon as the group settled on stealing the gunpowder and assassinating the crown prince, Yang Wenxiao was informed.
Whether it was stealing gunpowder or assassinating the crown prince, both were a touch to Yang Wenxiao’s and Emperor Yongan’s raw nerve.
Such offences were absolutely unforgivable.
It was then that Yang Wenxiao completely gave up on the Liu Family and Consort Li, though he still held a shred of benevolence for Yang Wang.
The descendants of the Yang Family were too few.
Yang Wenxiao’s men took the initiative to contact Yang Wang’s men, revealing information about the explosives.
After a desperate struggle, Yang Wang’s men only managed to steal one batch of explosives.
Moreover, these weren’t the kind of explosives that would detonate upon being stepped on; they required fire to explode.
Exploding only upon encountering fire, this posed some trouble, especially since Qiao Xiaomai’s home was built of blue bricks. One wrong move, and the explosives could be exposed.
So they could only wait, wait for it to snow.
As luck would have it, last night a heavy snow had fallen, so Sun Junyan braved the snow to bury the explosives; with the snow as concealment, it could hide the small fuse.
Qiu Ying and Yuanbao, this pair of servant and master, had already been bribed by Sun Junyan.
Their original plan was to take advantage of the snowfall for a group of them to come hunting, and amidst the noisy chaos, act covertly, ideally killing a few students of wealth and nobility in the explosion.
If deaths occurred, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang would be in deep trouble.
But they hadn’t anticipated such a large turnout today, the courtyard brimming with noise and tumult. The servant and master duo were pulled away to sit at other tables by their classmates and had no opportunity to act.
Left with no choice, the servant and master could only make their move after the feast.
Yuanbao, a martial artist himself, pretended to accidentally knock over a charcoal brazier, nimbly avoiding the blast and sustaining only a leg injury.
At this moment, Yuanbao, who had been drugged by Tong Sanlang, couldn’t bear the itching and knocked himself out against a wall. Along with Qiu Ying, Sun Junyan, and Sun Junyan, he was taken away.
As for inadvertently bumping into Yu Ang’s confidant, that was just good luck on Yang Wang’s part.
