Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 22 Attack at the entrance of the hall
"Then if I want to jump in line and get a real job, is it possible?"

"You have to pay more, at least 2000 taels, to take care of the upper and lower joints of the officials."

Hiss, Li Yu's teeth ached for a while.

Black, really black.

Compared with the imperial court, Cunju Hall is as clean as a white lotus.

Du Ren smiled awkwardly:
"We have our own national conditions in the Qing Dynasty, so it is a bit expensive."

"However, if you have official cover, things will go smoothly in the hall."

After eating, Li Yu took out the account book and took inventory.

Currently, there are still more than 1000 taels in the account.

Building a house and the government's lunch are the bulk of the expenses.

There is still a galaxy to go before buying an official position.

Looking at the recent business income, most of it is fragmentary income ranging from tens to hundreds of taels.

If it were any other companion, I'm afraid he would be extremely happy.

But in Li Yu's eyes.Not enough, far from enough.

……

The biggest thing that Cunjutang is currently doing is relocation!

The new hall entrance was completed, and everyone had been waiting for it for a long time.

Moving is a big project with a lot of stuff.

Everyone hired 5 carriages and 2 boats and worked hard for a day.

When the sun went down, I saw that there was still some furniture and I couldn't finish moving it today.

Lei Hu decided that he and several brothers would take a boat back to the old church.

Waiting for tomorrow morning, they will arrive with the last boatload of household items.

The banquet to celebrate the housewarming will be held at noon tomorrow.

Li Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he readily agreed.

The crow diligently watched the boat disappear into the night, and did not forget to roar:
"Brother, come to dinner tomorrow."

Li Yu was tinkering with his machine tools in the house, cutting workpieces.

The entire Dong family was raided and executed, and the blacksmith shop belonged to him.

This is the handiwork of Lord Fu Zun, and no one will raise any objection.

There were more than 5000 kilograms of iron materials in the blacksmith shop, which he just used for experiments.

But he didn't dare to use the Dong family's blacksmith.

If anyone misses the Lord and tries to sabotage it with ulterior motives, it will ruin his big event.

He would rather recruit a new group of reliable craftsmen.

……

Everyone was a little excited when they first arrived at their new home.

The crows were particularly restless and wandered outside even after dark, commenting on various buildings.

But Raven's didn't say a word in the room.

After landing, she was surprised the first moment she saw the Xintangkou building complex from a distance.

She was quite confused, and she didn't have time to explain it to Lei Huo in detail.

The military advisor was responsible for the entrance of the new hall, and Fan Jing supervised the work. The others didn't even know what it looked like before they came.

Late at night, she was still tossing and turning.

I decided to find some time to remind my husband.

The design of the building complex at the entrance of the new hall is not simple, and it has a vague meaning of a fortress.

Although she did not doubt Li Yu's loyalty to Tangkou, she had always been worried.

Li Yu is too capable as a military advisor, but Lei Huhu's mind is too simple.

He just works hard every day and leaves everything to Li Yu.

Several dog barks were heard from the fence, and then calm returned.

Li Yu, who was still drilling the gun barrel, heard it and stopped the machine to listen carefully for a while.

I walked to the yard again and saw Lin Huaisheng who was staying up late to stand guard.

"Are the gates to the wall locked?"

"As you commanded, it was locked as soon as it got dark."

"Okay, now we are outside the city, no better than at Changmen."

"I think it's quite nice here. It's a big place, there are many houses, and the scenery is nice."

Lin Huaisheng's sister also came over and lived in the front yard.

The three-in house was too wasteful for Li Yu alone.

Therefore, Lin Huaisheng's brother and sister, Fan Jing, and Xiaowu all moved into the wing room, which was more than enough.

……

Having them live in the front yard adds to the popularity and safety factor.

If someone breaks in, these people will be awakened first.

The house designed by Li Yu only has a front door.

The experience of being attacked in Pan Mansion left a deep impression on him.

If it weren't for the narrow stairs and the continuous copper escalators, he might have been killed long ago.

"Shovel some more coal in for me, and then you can go to bed."

"Ok."

Lin Huaisheng was a very measured bodyguard. After complying with the request, he closed the door and left.He was very satisfied with Li Yu as his employer and had no second thoughts.

Under the oil lamp, Li Yu looked at the newly made workpiece carefully.

A bit rough, with too many scratches.

Dang bang, thrown into the scrap metal pile.

He selected a long iron ingot and started turning again.

With some coal added, the small steam engine was full of power again.

The workpiece is driven to rotate slowly and sent to the tool.

Strips of iron filings fell down, making a grinding noise.

In the dead of night, even the sleepless Raven from far away heard it.

She frowned and thought, this is some evil guy who got drunk and smashed things.

……

Nobody thought of that.

Twenty miles away, the old Changmen hall encountered big trouble.

After Lei Hu returned with his four brothers, they first had dinner at a nearby small restaurant.

Then I bought some firecrackers and good wine, and planned to take them back at noon the next day.

Just after the night watch, two black figures appeared outside the wall of Cunju Hall.

One person squats down, and the other person steps up to the wall on his shoulders.

After making sure there was no one in the courtyard and no dogs, he jumped down gently.

Then he pressed against the wall and walked behind the door.

Apply lard to the door bolt and door shaft, and slowly open the door.

The door was lubricated by lard and made no noise.

Seeing that his companion succeeded, six people jumped out of a carriage in the alley.

Their movements were agile and they quickly sneaked into Cunju Hall.

The last person closed the door gently.

Under the moonlight, the eight attackers quickly found their respective positions.

One of them raised his hand and waved it down fiercely, sending a signal.

The doors of each house were knocked open and they rushed in.

While Lei Huhu was sleeping, someone rode him up and stabbed him through the quilt.

The severe pain made him roll over and kick the attacker instinctively.

This knife hit his shoulder, just an inch away from his neck.

……

There was only moonlight in the house, no lights.

The attacker rushed over again with his knife raised, without saying a word.

After three rounds of fighting, Thunder Tiger was stabbed again, and his blood dripped.

"who are you?"

No one answered him, and there was another person in the house, a companion of the attacker.

Thunder Tiger knew he couldn't escape today, so he went crazy.

He grabbed a quilt, wrapped it around his left hand, and rushed forward.

Two attackers, one on the left and one on the right, faced him with their swords.

With a lightning-fast contact, an attacker fell limply, his neck broken by a heavy punch.

Lei Huhu fought his back and was stabbed three times by another person.

He blocked the enemy's knife in front of him with his left hand wrapped in a quilt, and punched out with his right fist.

This may be the most heroic right hook in his life.

One punch kill!
He grabbed the body again and threw it sideways.

More than 100 kilograms were hit on the despicable enemy's knife behind him.

The attacker was knocked back several steps before he regained his balance.

The blood from the blade flowed down into the palm.

The crazy thunder tiger suddenly and quickly crashed into the window.

Wooden window panes cannot withstand such impact.

The huge thunder tiger actually jumped out of the window.

……

His judgment is right!
There is no way out of the door, and someone is always guarding the courtyard.

The attacker was ruthless and had no intention of leaving anyone alive.

They all cooperated tacitly, without any unnecessary movements.

The weapons used are exactly the same.

After Lei Hu successfully jumped out of the window, he immediately got up and ran for his life.

After discovering that someone had escaped, the four attackers also pursued him.

One of them actually took off the crossbow from his waist.

This is a pure steel crossbow, very small in size.

It looks like it's only for cavalry or assassins.

He held the crossbow and pointed it at the huge staggering figure in the night.

Pulled the hanging knife (trigger)~
