Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1375

Mao Xiang, on the other hand, was also unaware of this. This information gap led him to believe that Wei Wu's idea was feasible, so he immediately said:

“Okay, I’ll send someone to seal off that warehouse right away, and then have someone prepare this oil drum to make it into evidence of the fire.”

"Then arrest Qian Jingguang and Mai Zhide and bring them back to the imperial prison to test them. You can listen in on the interrogation in the dark room."

Wei Wu hadn't expected that Mao Xiang would actually allow him to sit in on the process; he thought it would just be Mao Xiang asking questions himself.

After all, he's in the imperial prison. If those two guys come over and notice something amiss, then he'll have wasted his time in jail!

However, after hearing Mao Xiang say that the interrogation was being conducted in a dark room, there was no problem and no need to worry about those two guys noticing.

So after Mao Xiang finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately spoke up:

"Alright, I'd like to hear how they'll respond!"

As he spoke, Wei Wu reached into his pocket, pretended to rummage around, and then took out a walkie-talkie and handed it over.

"This thing is called a walkie-talkie. I think you should have seen it at Uncle Zhu's place. You should take it with you when you get there."

After speaking, Wei Wu took out a walkie-talkie headset and demonstrated how to use it to Mao Xiang.

Mao Xiang did see this at Zhu Yuanzhang's place, but even if he had, he would never have asked a single question about it.

As someone who specializes in doing dirty work for the emperor, his best way to protect himself is to not listen to what he shouldn't listen to and not ask what he shouldn't ask.

Of course, curiosity was inevitable, but after hearing Wei Wu's description, he finally understood the purpose of this thing.

"So miraculous! Only the Duke of Zhenguo could produce such a treasure!"

While silently thinking to himself, Mao Xiang didn't stop what he was doing, putting on the walkie-talkie as Wei Wu instructed.

Then Wei Wu took out a walkie-talkie, adjusted the channel, walked to a distance, and whispered something into the walkie-talkie.

"Old Mao, how are you? Can you hear me?"

Mao Xiang, who was already full of anticipation, immediately brightened up when he heard Wei Wu's voice coming through his earphones, his eyes filled with curiosity.

The main problem was that the sound was too close to his ears, as if someone was speaking right next to him, but Wei Wu was some distance away.

After a brief moment of shock, Mao Xiang didn't forget what Wei Wu had taught him, and immediately put the walkie-talkie to his mouth.

"I can hear it, and the sound is very clear."

Upon receiving Mao Xiang's response, Wei Wu, who was not far away, nodded in satisfaction and then returned to Mao Xiang's side.

"Keep this with you at all times. If anything happens, I can communicate with you in time via walkie-talkie."

"okay, I get it!"

After hearing Wei Wu's instructions, Mao Xiang immediately nodded in response, and then continued:

"There's no time to lose. I'll go to the fire site myself right now, seal off the entire area, and bring those two guys back as soon as possible!"

"Ok!"

Wei Wu responded softly, then returned to his cell. However, he didn't eat hotpot or play games anymore; instead, he waited quietly.

On the other side, after Mao Xiang was released from the imperial prison, he immediately summoned his trusted subordinates and handed them the oil barrels.

"Process this thing so that it looks like it was found in a fire. Be careful so that no one can tell there's a problem."

"Once you've dealt with this, take it to the fire site and make arrangements. Remember, I don't want anyone else to know about this except you!"

Hearing Mao Xiang's tone and those words, the subordinate knew how serious the matter was and quickly spoke up:

"Rest assured, sir, no one else will know about this except you and me!"

"Okay, go and get it done, and bring it to the fire scene for me!"

This time, the Jinyiwei subordinate did not respond again, and without even saying goodbye, he simply picked up the oil drum and left quickly.
