Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 953

So after Wei Wu finished speaking, the Jinyiwei immediately bowed and said:

"Thank you, sir. I will not let you down. I will capture him right away!"

I have to say that this Jinyiwei was quite smart and knew to thank Wei Wu first.

If it were someone with a slower brain, they would probably just think that this was a task from their superiors and would not think of it as an achievement.

However, Wei Wu just did it casually, so after the Jinyiwei thanked him, he didn't say anything, but just waved his hand.

After the Jinyiwei left, Wei Wu turned around and looked at Fang Miao again.

But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the simple hang glider he had placed aside.

So he pointed at the simple hang glider and asked Fang Miao.

"By the way, was this thing also made by you, the White Lotus Sect?"

Fang Miao looked in the direction Wei Wu pointed, and then immediately began to explain:

"No, this was made by a craftsman. He is not a member of the White Lotus Sect. He was just forcibly abducted and taken back to the White Lotus Sect."

Fang Miao probably guessed that Wei Wu might be interested in this person, so he continued:

"This man's name is Tao Dian. He was discovered by a member of the cult. He learned that he was making something that could allow people to fly, so he reported it to the authorities."

"Miao Fangfang found it very interesting and thought it would be helpful for her missionary work, so she sent someone to abduct Tao Dian and take him back."

"We wanted him to make this tool as quickly as possible, so we practiced it over a hundred times, and dozens of people died from falling."

Speaking of this, Fang Miao's eyes changed when he looked at the simple hang glider, as if filled with some helplessness and pity.

After all, although this matter was not her idea, it was related to Miao Fangfang, and the debt was inseparable from her.

Fortunately, Fang Miao did not get tangled up, and quickly adjusted his mood and continued:

"But these wings can't let you fly, you can only glide like a bird. Miao Fangfang was so angry that she wanted to kill him."

"But then we thought he might be useful in the future, so we released him, but threatened him not to spread the news."

After listening to what Fang Miao said, Wei Wu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The person who was able to make a hang glider must have left his name in history, but he has never heard of his deeds.

But on second thought, this person had been threatened by Miao Fangfang, and Miao Fangfang was one of the four protectors of the White Lotus Sect.

It is completely understandable that Tao Dian did not dare to publish the results of his invention in order to save his own life.

However, this is not the issue that Wei Wu is most concerned about. What really makes him curious is that Tao Dian and Tao Chengdao both have the surname Tao.

Moreover, both of them are craftsmen. You should know that craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty were passed down from father to son. Is there any relationship between them?

In order to confirm this doubt, Wei Wu asked another question.

"Please tell me specifically where this Tao Dian is from and whether he has any relatives at home."

"He was from Huangyan County, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province. When Miao Fangfang took him away, he had a wife and a newborn son at home."

After hearing what Fang Miao said, Wei Wu raised his eyebrows and immediately laughed, thinking secretly in his heart:

"From Huangyan County, Taizhou? Tao Chengdao seems to be from this place too. Interesting, even their place of origin is the same."

According to the time calculation, Tao Chengdao is only two or three years old now, and the registered craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty are passed down from generation to generation.

If nothing unexpected happens, Tao Chengdao should be Tao Dian's son and has been greatly influenced by Tao Dian.

Tao Dian wanted to fly by using a hang glider, while Tao Chengdao wanted to fly by using gunpowder rockets to create thrust.

The two methods are different but the purpose is the same, which is to enable humans to fly into the sky.

"I originally thought it was just a folk rumor, but now it seems that even folk rumors may be true!"

"If these two Taos are really father and son, we can find a way to recruit them into the Academy of Science and Technology. After all, they are both talented people."

While thinking about it, Wei Wu made a decision and sent someone to Taizhou to bring the person to the capital.

This kind of person who dares to imagine wildly and can also put it into practice down to earth is what Wei Wu wants.

And the other party is unlikely to refuse. After all, working in the Academy of Science and Technology, Tao Dian no longer needs to worry about the threat of the White Lotus.

The key is that he can fully realize his ideas and also give his son a better education. No one would refuse.

Just as Wei Wu was lost in thought, Fang Miao, who was tied to the rack, spoke again.

"I think you've asked everything you wanted to ask! Now can you tell me what disease I have?"

Hearing Fang Miao's voice, Wei Wu finally came back to his senses and looked at her soothingly and said:

"Don't worry, since I promised to tell you, I won't go back on my word. But I have one last question."

"Ask me! I won't hide anything if I know."

After hearing Fang Miao's response, Wei Wu did not waste any time and asked directly:

"What else do you know about the man who sold you the things?"

Hearing this, Fang Miao frowned and remained silent for a while, then said in an uncertain tone:

"We don't know much. That person's whereabouts are secretive and very cautious. It's basically Master Bai Lian who's in contact with him."

"Miao Fangfang doesn't know much about that person. She just received a notice after arriving in Beijing saying that a group of her subordinates would be transferred."

"It seems that person asked for help, saying that he wanted to take someone to Jindi to help him with something, but he didn't say what it was."

Transfer personnel from the White Lotus Sect to Jin?

When Wei Wu heard what Fang Miao said, he was shocked. His elder brother Zhu Biao was in Jin now!

Seeing Wei Wu's strange reaction, Fang Miao was about to speak, but he saw Wei Wu rushing towards him in three or two steps.

"You said that person was transferring personnel from your White Lotus Sect to Jindi. Are you sure it was Jindi?"

"Yes, is there any problem in Jindi?"

Wei Wu did not answer Fang Miao's words, but continued to ask:

"Do you know how many people he has mobilized in total, and when they can go?"

Fang Miao didn't care that Wei Wu didn't answer his questions, and still answered his questions honestly.

After hearing Fang Miao's answer, Wei Wu's heart suddenly sank.

Originally, Wei Wu wondered if Yao Guangxiao had other purposes in transferring these people, but judging from the time Fang Miao mentioned.

Yao Guangxiao transferred these people from the White Lotus Sect specifically to target his elder brother Zhu Biao.
