Chapter 899: Chapter 899: It Must Be Them!_1

Using the method of setting a trap that would normally be used for animals, Fan Linong summoned everyone from the manor.

He also took the head of the granary to inspect the backyard, who confirmed that it was indeed an explosion caused by gunpowder.

Once the granary head had confirmed it, there was no escaping the issue. Fan Linong ordered the guards to surround all four hundred people. Until Yang Wenxiao's imperial edict arrived, no one was permitted to leave.

The group had arrived by horse-drawn carriages today, which were padded with thick blankets, making spending the night in them not a problem.

However, even with an urgent eight-hundred-li express delivery, it would still take a day for the message to reach Capital City. Not to mention, there was now heavy snowfall making travel difficult, and the message would only be delayed further.

To wait for Yang Wenxiao's message would take at least three to four days.
