Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1364

"Even if His Majesty doesn't kill us immediately, those people will try every means to silence us for fear of being implicated!"

After Qian Jingguang finished speaking, Mai Zhide's expression immediately changed, becoming so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip from it.

Although Qian Jinguang's words sounded very serious, Mai Zhide knew very well that they were not an exaggeration.

Once they become the key to the Embroidered Uniform Guard's investigation, they will definitely become the targets for elimination.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Mai Zhide was also secretly anxious, so after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but speak up.

"Brother Qian, there is no doubt about the seriousness of this matter. Judging from your expression just now, you must have already made up your mind!"

"Ok!"

Qian Jinguang nodded with a serious expression, and then immediately expressed his thoughts.

"It's not exactly a plan, it's just an idea I'm going to share so we can discuss it and see if it's feasible."

"Okay, you go first. If it's feasible, we don't need to overthink it!"

Upon hearing that Qian Jingguang indeed had an idea, Mai Zhide immediately perked up and stared intently at him.

Seeing Mai Zhide's expression, Qian Jinguang no longer hesitated and immediately explained his plan.

"Since the oil drum is the key, let's find a way to destroy it, preferably completely, leaving no trace!"

"Destroy the oil drums???"

After hearing Qian Jingguang's plan, Mai Zhide's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Qian Jingguang as if he were a madman, asking him a question.

Although Qian Jinguang's eyes still showed that he was very calm, there was a hint of madness in that calmness.

Even his response to Mak Chi-tak sounded crazy.

“That’s right, destroy the oil drums!! As long as the oil drums are completely destroyed, this matter will never be exposed by the two of us.”

"Even if His Majesty holds us accountable in the end, he will at most punish us for dereliction of duty. At worst, we'll lose our official positions, but at least we won't die!"

"Even if we get thrown into jail because of this, we'll get out eventually. With money in hand, we won't have to worry about not surviving in the future!"

As Qian Jingguang spoke, his eyes lit up, clearly indicating that he was very satisfied with his plan.

However, Mai Zhide could not resonate with his emotions and immediately retorted after Qian Jinguang finished speaking.

"Are you crazy? Destroy oil drums? How could you even think of destroying oil drums? We can't even get close to them."

"Don't forget, the warehouse where the oil drums were stored has been sealed off by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I'm sure there are Embroidered Uniform Guards watching that place."

"Let alone destroying the oil drums, even if someone gets close to that place, they will be suspected and may even be arrested."

“If we go ourselves in this situation, it would be like walking into a trap. If we send someone, once that person is caught, they will definitely implicate us.”

At this moment, Mai Zhide completely lost the composure he had when he first arrived, and his tone and expression became extremely irritable.

It gives the impression that if it weren't for the inappropriate timing, he would have wanted to punch Qian Jinguang in the face.

However, Qian Jinguang did not show any shame or anger at Mai Zhide's reaction; instead, he even had a smile on his face.

Of course, he wouldn't let Mai Zhide get impatient, so after the other party finished speaking, he immediately gave his own explanation.

"Who says you have to send someone close to the oil drums to destroy them? I want to live a good life, why would I deliberately seek death?"

"Brother Mai, don't forget that this is the Ministry of Works. Things that are not available elsewhere are plentiful here."

"Gunpowder and kerosene, whenever we need them, we can easily and discreetly withdraw some from our inventory."

At first, Mai Zhide listened attentively to Qian Jingguang until he heard Qian Jingguang utter the words "gunpowder" and "oil".
