Perhaps even though Magistrate Wang was beaten to death, he didn't expect that these days, even if he is his son, someone will rob him of him!
Moreover, not only was someone snatching it, they were snatching it so damn fast!
He only hesitated for a moment, and others were already rushing to chat with him.
Looking at Xiao Wei San and Liu Hongji who were whispering in front of him, Wang Mengzhi felt so filled with hatred that he wished he could kick that troublesome child away and replace him with himself, the "county magistrate"!
It's just a pity that in this world, there are some things that if you miss them, you miss them, but you can never get them back!
Similarly, Miss Qian also knows this truth.
If I had been ruthless and forcibly killed Xiao Han without knowing it, maybe the matter would have been settled!
But now, his identity has been exposed, he is a noble prince and a powerful general!
Not to mention her current self, even if the universe were truly kind and gave her a face that charmed all living beings, I am afraid she would not be worthy of the man in front of her.
The obsession in her heart was put down, and the resentment deep in Miss Qian's eyes gradually dissipated. She looked at Xiao Han calmly, bowed softly and said:
"Master Marquis, the whale oil presented by the father of the daughter of the people is not for his own selfish gain, but because he heard that the Marquis went to war for the country, he was deeply moved, so he wanted to contribute a small amount. You don't have to have any doubts!
Although my father had a slight misunderstanding with Mr. Hou before, it was only a small matter. Those who serve the country and the people like Mr. Hou are the most righteous! Those who heard that Mr. Hou was in need, the daughter of the people, my father, and the tens of thousands of people in this county all expressed their gratitude.
We will try our best to contribute a little to our country, our family, and ourselves!"
Hearing these words, Xiao Han looked at Miss Qian with complex eyes as Yingying bowed down. He couldn't say any words of rejection this time!
Although last calculation, it should be the Qian father and daughter's fault, and it was even close to destroying his "innocence".

But for some reason, Xiao Han just couldn't hate them.
Not only could he not feel resentful, but sometimes he would feel that he was in the wrong and that he could not live up to others.
Even he himself doesn't know why he has such abnormal thoughts?
Could it be that I was born with a big pig's hooves? When I see a woman, no matter how beautiful or ugly she is, as long as she is a little interested in me, I will be complacent and secretly happy in my heart?
Xiao Han didn't answer, and the scene suddenly turned cold again.
When Thunder Tiger saw this, he finally reacted, hurriedly and clumsily climbed onto the car, reached into the vat with the driver's whip, picked out a little whale oil, handed it to Xiao Han and said:
"Look, Mr. Hou! I am not being pretentious and insisting on coming here to join in the fun. In fact, when it comes to igniting things, this oil is definitely a divine product! I believe you, Mr. Hou, will definitely use it!"
"Ahem, oh? Really?"
Xiao Han, who was in the process of self-reflection, was suddenly awakened by Thunder Tiger. Only then did he realize that it was such a rude act for him to always stare at a girl!
So he quickly coughed and turned his attention to the whip in Lei Hu's hand.
"Is this whale oil?"
However, when Xiao Han took a closer look, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
Where is the oil on this whip? It is clearly a white and slightly transparent paste!
When he first looked at it, he almost mistook it for solidified pork suet.
But when he took a closer look, Xiao Han realized that it was indeed much more crystal clear than pork suet!
Plus it’s already summer
The weather is hot. The lard should have turned into oil and water long ago at this temperature. How can it still solidify into lumps?
"Master Hou, this is whale oil!"
Thunder Tiger seemed to have expected Xiao Han's reaction. He climbed down from the car with great effort, and then took out the fire folder from his arms like offering a treasure, shook it in the air, flicked out the flames, and then put it on the whip.
A piece of whale oil.
Next, I just heard a crisp sound of "Stab!"
The area on the whip that was stained with oil immediately erupted with a faint blue fire!
Immediately afterwards, the blue fire gradually turned transparent, as if it had been extinguished, and the trace could no longer be seen clearly.
But the heat wave that hit us made everyone around us understand that it was not extinguished, but was still burning quite fiercely!
"Master Marquis, please take a look!"
Seeing that everyone around him was dumbfounded, Lei Hu became more energetic!
He carefully placed the still-burning whip on the ground, took out a piece of paper from somewhere, stretched out his arm, and placed the paper above the whip at a height that was more than half a person's height.
The eyes of everyone around him subconsciously followed his hands.
I saw the paper quickly twisting in the air, and then, with a "crash", the paper burned out of thin air!
"hiss……"
Seeing this scene, everyone, including Xiao Han, took a breath!
They could clearly see the bit of whale oil on the whip just now. It was at most the size of a grape grain, but it was really unexpected that such a small amount of oil contained so much energy!
What surprised Xiao Han even more was that the flame produced by whale oil was similar to the flame emitted by alcohol.

The transparent kind!
If we secretly set a fire behind the enemy, he might not even know when he rushed into the sea of fire, right?
"Good stuff!"
Looking at the vague blue flames, Xiao Han was still marveling, but Liu Hongji was already drooling and stretched out his hand to grab Thunder Tiger!
"Qian... Mr. Qian, right? How much of this kind of good stuff do you still have? Give it to me in ten or eight buckets? Don't worry, I will never let you suffer! How much do you want? Just give me a price and I'll find you directly when the time comes.
He just pays the bill! If it’s not enough, it’s not a big deal if I ask him to give me my life!”
"ah……"
Lei Laohu was initially hugged by Liu Hongji's shoulders. He didn't know whether he was scared or excited. In short, his whole body was trembling!
But after listening to Liu Hongji's words, he suddenly stopped shaking. He turned around and stared at Old Liu's unshaven face as if he had seen a ghost!
As for Liu Hongji, he was a little embarrassed by the thunder tiger. In addition, this guy had a history of snatching his son-in-law. After thinking about it, he let go, glared and feigned anger:
"Why are you looking at me like that? Although I am extremely handsome and have extraordinary martial arts skills, and I am 10,000 times stronger than some useless snacks, but I am a serious person. Don't even think about using a few barrels of oil in exchange for my body.

PS: Regarding the word "whale", it actually appeared in ancient records very early. Many people think that the ancients called the whale "Kun" because of Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou", which is not completely correct.
The earliest record of the discovery of whales in ancient my country is "Erya", which is from the Warring States to the Qin Dynasty. It clearly states:
"A whale is a big fish in the sea. It swallows boats across the sea, and its cave is on the bottom of the sea. When it comes out of its cave, water overflows, which is called a whale tide. It can also be said that when it goes out, it is above the tide, and when it goes in, it is below the tide. Its entry and exit are rhythmic, so it is called whale tide.
