() Li Jianguo expected that his whereabouts could not be hidden from the eyes of interested people, as for what they would guess, he didn't care, and said lightly: "Get up, what's the matter?"

Huang and Sun got up and looked at each other, Huang Baishun took a step forward, bowed his head and said, "Tongzhi Gao has been waiting in the yamen for your lord to report, but your lord has not arrived, so he sent us to welcome you."

Murderous intent flashed across Li Jianguo's eyes. This Gao Hu didn't want to live anymore. The Emperor Chongzhen had just promoted himself to be a minister, so he couldn't wait to jump out and give himself a blow. Let's go once and find a reason to kill him, um , Said that he was related to the East Factory explosion.

He did as soon as he thought of it, and immediately said: "Alright, then you lead the way, I have worked hard for a day, and I have to sleep after meeting Gao Tongzhi."

How could Huang and Sun fail to understand the meaning of Li Jianguo's words? Obviously, the newly appointed Lord Qianshi did not respect Gao Tongzhi. How dare you be dissatisfied with Shangguan if you are not on your feet?

Obviously, Gao Hu didn't know that Li Jianguo held an imperial edict to act cheaply. As for whether the emperor would not be furious after killing Gao Hu, Li Jianguo could control it.

He took only a few steps with the intent to kill, turned around Dong'anmen, suddenly raised his eyes, and looked into the night sky, only to see a few lights rising in the distance, other people's eyes couldn't see clearly, he was caught by the alien How can the eyes that can be strengthened not see?

Li Kaiguo stopped suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "Huang Baishun, are Kongming lanterns allowed in the capital?"

Huang Baishun shook his head and said: "Of course not. Most of the houses in our capital are made of wood. If a Kongming lantern falls down and ignites a house, it may burn down a street in a short time. No release will be allowed, and those who violate the law will be shown the shackles for a month, and those who cause damage will be beheaded."

Li Kaiguo smiled and said, "Then we are going to kill a lot of people today." Pointing to the dozens of Kongming lanterns that had just risen in the night sky in the distance, he ordered: "You go and report to Gao Tongzhi immediately, just say Ben As the official said, all Jinyi guards will be dispatched tonight to find out who set up those Kongming lanterns. If the official's predictions are correct, no one will be able to sleep tonight."

Huang Sun was stunned, and hurriedly looked into the night sky, and sure enough, he saw nearly a hundred lights going up, and there were new lights going up all the time. There was no other explanation for this except the Kongming lanterns. Today is the east wind. Judging by the momentum, it is bound to It has to pass over the Forbidden City, if one falls and burns down the main hall, the consequences will be more serious than the death of a hundred thousand royal guards.

Immediately, the two of them hurriedly said: "We're going to deliver the order." Saying their goodbyes, they hurried to the Jinyiwei yamen.Li Jianguo looked at the place where the Kongming lanterns rose. It should be the east city, not exceeding the city wall of the outer city. That is to say, these Kongming lanterns were not placed outside the city, but in the outer city.

The east side is where the rich live, and there are the most businessmen there. I don’t know who did it. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Jinyiwei East Factory during the day, Li Jianguo felt that he was being used, which made him angry. Someone dared to use him, it was courting death.

But the most urgent task is to get these Kongming lanterns down first, and they must not be allowed to float over the Forbidden City.After looking at Dong'anmen, which was close at hand, Li Jianguo had an idea.

He took out his badge, came to Dong'an Gate, called the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and said in a deep voice: "The general is on duty today, tell him, if you don't want to lose your head, come see me right away."

The officers and soldiers who guarded the city scared him, and immediately said: "My lord, our general is on the tower, and I will take you up to meet him." The aroma of wine and meat, and the sound of punching and punching came from afar.

The officers and soldiers brought Li Kaiguo to the front of the tower, and saw a few people dressed as generals sitting at a square table, their faces flushed from drinking, and they looked quite drunk.

The officers and soldiers rushed forward to report. A general turned his head and looked at Li Jianguo, drunk. When he saw Li Jianguo, he smiled and said, "Brother, you are fine. Come on, come on, let's have a drink." Let's celebrate." It turned out that this person was the Ming Jia general who let him into the inner city.

Li Jianguo shook his head, walked forward, picked up a bowl of wine, and poured it on his face. General Ming Jia was furious when the wine was splashed on him. He kindly invited Li Jianguo to drink, but Li Jianguo dared to pour wine He, this is a great shame and humiliation, he immediately stood up and was about to draw out the long sword in his waist.

Li Jianguo kicked the table over with one kick, and the wine and meat on the table spilled all over the floor. Several generals moved away at the same time, all furious, and just about to draw their swords, Li Jianguo shouted: "If you don't want to die, look there." Said Pointing to the night sky in the east, those Kongming lanterns can already be seen clearly. Calculated according to the speed of the flying, at most one more cup of tea can float to Dong'anmen.

The generals were not night-blind, they thought they were drunk when they looked at the flames floating in the air, and after wiping their eyes, their complexions changed drastically, one general said with trembling fingers: "Kongming lanterns, those are Kongming lanterns. "

Seeing that they had seen them clearly, Li Jianguo yelled: "Don't you all return to their positions and send archers to shoot down these lights?" He scrambled and ran to his defensive position, and ordered all the archers to go upstairs immediately and light their lights while running.

General Mingjia's face was as pale as dirt, and he quickly ordered five hundred archers to arrive immediately to carry the arrows.Fortunately, all kinds of materials in the inner city are available, and the archers came very quickly. Just after the Kongming Lantern entered the bow and arrow shooting process, several sharpshooters had already fired arrows first, and shot down several lamps.

At this time, there are already hundreds of Kongming lanterns in the sky, but the Dongcheng side is still shining. At this time, Jin Yiwei has used his own method - pigeons, to notify the Qianhu Office in the outer city, and let them mobilize the Dongcheng soldiers and horses to go together. Dongcheng arrests people.Otherwise, if you keep putting it down like this, sooner or later it will lead to a catastrophe.

Li Jianguo also heard the sound of pigeons flying out on the tower, and after a while, he saw rows of fire dragons appearing in the streets and alleys of Dongcheng. It was Jin Yiwei and Dongcheng Bingmasi who had already been dispatched. , there will be no new Kongming Lanterns.

It's just that the shooting of arrows and lanterns on the city tower is not going smoothly. The Kongming lantern is floating in the sky, and there is an east wind at this time. Except for those archers, most of the archers are just shooting arrows in the air. Can you hit it? It's down to luck.
