Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 749 A Gunshot (Fifth Watch)

"It's the sound of muskets!" The scholars under the Tiger Hill Pagoda huddled together in horror, looking for the source of the gunshots.

"Yu Cheng, are you okay?" Chu Yun looked at Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng covered his right arm and said palely, "I was shot..."

"You..." Goya's face was pale, but she turned pale because she saw Yu Cheng was injured.

Blood oozed from Yu Cheng's right arm, which stained the skirt of his clothes red.

It was Yu Cheng who stood in front of her just now, otherwise she might have been shot!

"Protect your lord." Yu Cheng gritted his teeth and asked several other guards to cover Chu Yun and others to retreat into the surrounding forest.

Everyone present was terrified!Everyone in the south of the Yangtze River knows how terrible muskets are, they can kill people from a long distance!

Qian Qianyi led a group of people from Donglin Party and Fushe back to Huqiu Pagoda in a hurry. Mrs. Zhang, who made a big fuss in Huqiu Pagoda, was also frightened by muskets, and hid in Huqiu Pagoda with them.

Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo led their servants into the forest on the other side, and the other scholars also sought refuge.

"Brother Zuo, you hired him?" Liu Liangzuo looked at Zuo Liangyu.

"How is it possible, Chu Yun is in Nanjing City, what am I going to do with an assassin here, am I not afraid to scare the snake!" Zuo Liangyu said.

"This is really strange, who would bring muskets here?" Liu Liangzuo and Zuo Liangyu looked at each other.

Boom!Another musket sounded, and the bullet landed on the edge of the forest where Chu Yun and the others were.

Chu Yun hid behind a tree and observed the situation outside.

"Big villain, you'll be fine, woo..." Seeing that Yu Cheng was injured while protecting himself, Goya couldn't help crying.

"Isn't it just a broken arm? What's the big deal?" Yu Cheng said with difficulty.

"I have learned some medical techniques from the Song Dynasty and herbal techniques from the Atayal tribe, but I don't know how to deal with gunshot wounds." Seeing the blood soaking Yu Cheng's clothes, Xiao Xiu'er's pretty face turned pale. The injury was beyond her imagination.

"Big... big man horse... horse leather shroud... even if you die... it's no big deal... it's..." Yu Cheng was out of breath, and his tone gradually became inaudible, "before you die... Promise me... don't mess up... mess up..."

"No, you can't die!" Goya cried with tears in his eyes.

Chu Yun couldn't stand it anymore, so he went over and kicked Yu Cheng.

"He's already dead, my lord, why are you still treating him like this!" Goya said to Chu Yun with tears when he saw Chu Yun kicking Yu Cheng's "corpse".

"Here are all our own people, don't pretend to be dead." Chu Yun said.

"Yes!" Yu Cheng stood up immediately.

When Goya saw Yu Cheng who was resurrected from the dead, he was frightened at first, then choked, and cried again with a wow: "You Han people are always lying..."

"My lord, what's going on here?" Xiao Xiu'er was confused by this farce.

"What do you think this is?" Chu Yun asked Yu Cheng to take out a wet cloth with blood on it, "This is fresh pig's blood this morning. I hurriedly created the illusion of being shot. The gunshot rang , when everyone sees someone falling down, they will think that someone has been shot, how can they tell the truth from the fake?"

"In this way, the person who shot was also ordered by you, my lord?" Xiao Xiu'er asked.

"Yes, the first shot was just shooting into the air, and it didn't hurt anyone. The second shot was even more pretentious." Chu Yun couldn't deny it.

"Why do you want to do this, my lord? Xiu'er doesn't understand why she pretended to attack Sister Goya." Xiao Xiu'er's eyes became even more confused.

"Because I wanted to create an incident to punish a group of people. Today, some gangsters wanted to assassinate an envoy from the Atayal tribe in Yizhou, trying to create chaos. Fortunately, this plot failed. Afterwards, our Jianghuai Chief Secretary dispatched government officials. The Corps dispatched troops to arrest the assassins and pulled out a group of people behind them. It turned out that their purpose of assassinating the Atayal envoys was to put pressure on the court and force the court to restore stereotyped writing. All of them were executed, but because the envoys were safe and there were many accomplices, it was decided to send the principal offender to work on a deserted island in the South China Sea, and the followers would be sent back to their hometowns, so they are not allowed to form cliques for personal gain in the future." Chu Yun said while pacing.

Xiao Xiu'er bit her thin lips lightly: "Although Xiu'er doesn't know who your lord is going to deal with, Sister Goya is innocent, you can't easily involve her in politics."

"Please don't worry about this. There is nothing wrong with inflicting crimes. People who understand understand that, and they won't say it out loud. What I want to stop is nothing more than talking about it." Chu Yun said, "As compensation, I can do whatever I can. Grant Goya a wish."

"Really?" Goya stopped sobbing, pointed at Yu Cheng and said, "Then I will kill him."

"..." Chu Yun looked at Yu Cheng.

"Grandma, I was wrong, you should change your wish..." Yu Cheng was a little scared.

There was musket fire in Huqiu Pagoda, and people were shot and wounded. This incident quickly spread throughout the entire Huqiu Mountain, and tens of thousands of students and other miscellaneous people gathered here were in an uproar.Even the public security forces in Suzhou City were alarmed.

"There are assassins infesting here, for your safety, leave quickly!" Lu Zhiyu, the chief soldier of Suzhou, led the arresters to disperse the literati gathered in Huqiu Mountain.

At this time, the general soldier has become a security officer, and there is a problem with the security of Suzhou City. If he does not handle it well, he cannot escape the blame.

"No, this Lu Zhiyu knows us. If he finds out that we are here, maybe our plan will be exposed." Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo hid in the group of scholars and fled down the mountain.

The entire Huqiu Mountain was in a mess, all the scholars who had fled.Qian Qianyi and others didn't expect that a gunshot completely turned the Huqiu meeting they held into an anticlimax. They didn't even have time to announce to the scholars that other literary societies had been merged into the Fushe, and then they wanted to get tens of thousands of people to sign The letter asked the Kyushu Army to restore the stereotyped essay.

Chu Yun stood on the hillside and watched the scholars leaving Huqiu Mountain in a hurry.

"Young master, no, my lord, do I know too many secrets about you..." Liu Rushi said in despair from the side.

She was rescued by Goya just now, and she has been staying with them all the time, forced to listen to Chu Yun's plan, and even prepared to be silenced.

"I will arrange someone to guard you before this matter is over. I will not sacrifice my life at will for conspiracy. Your experience and identity are very special. You might as well change your name and surname to start a new life in the future. It is not impossible to test the Academy of Sciences. Yes, I think the people there will be more accepting of you." Chu Yun thought for a while, and like Gu Yanwu, since they are all people whose names Chu Yun knows, let's give them a fortune.
