At the end of Tianjie is the Daming Gate, behind it is the Duanmen, and on both sides of the Duanmen are distributed the six Yamen and the Governor’s Mansion of the Five Armies.
A person wearing an official robe walked out of the Ministry of Works Yamen, and the complement on his chest revealed his identity, a minor official of the seventh rank.
With a toothpick in his mouth, he burped as he walked, without any image, and a person behind him, also wearing an official robe, followed closely like a small man, and asked:
“My lord, shall we go ~ where?”
“The Sendo of the Five Cities Soldier and Horse Division invited me to dinner.”
“All three times!”
“Hahaha!”
“You also know that some things must go through the Five Cities Soldiers, and I can’t refute his face.”
“Let’s go!”
After a while, the two came to the most prosperous restaurant in Tianjie and walked up to the second floor.
At this time, a private room door was open, and Xiao Er greeted him: “Dare to ask if it is the Gu Xueyi Master of the Ministry of Engineering?” ”
“Yes!”
“Please! Sennohe-sama has been waiting inside for a long time. ”
“Well, you go down.”
After Xiao Er left, he patted his cheek, suddenly raised a fake smile, and walked inward as he spoke: “Hahaha! ”
“Brother Wang, I really haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Inside, a man in a tight robe stood up, clenched his fists and said, “It’s really hard to invite Brother Gu to eat!” ”
“You also know that Cao Guogong and Mu Ying are attacking Annan, and Fu Youde’s side is also fighting.”
“I have to raise military funds!”
“Hahaha! Brother Gu really had to be reused by the masters of the ministry! ”
The two praised each other for a while, and Qianhu looked at the person behind Gu Xueyi and said, “This is?” ”
“His name is Wei Xueliang, the craftsman is an official, and he is my cronie!”
“Oh oh~ Long time to look up, in the lower Wang Wendong.”
Gu Xueyi said, “Why don’t you say the most important thing?” ”
“He is the younger brother of Wang Bowen, the commander of the Five Cities Soldier and Horse Division!”
Wei Xueliang hugged his fist and made a promise, Wang Wendong was slightly startled, isn’t he a craftsman?
Why is it such a big quack?
The three guests sat down, and after a while, they became enthusiastic.
“I wonder what Brother Wang has been busy with recently?”
“Busy, don’t you know the situation of the Five Cities Terracotta Division?”
“Hubu told us to help unload the ship, the Ministry of Works asked us to move bricks, Xungui told us to repair his house, and even Sinong Temple let us carry seeds.”
“If it’s on fire, you have to put it out!”
“Mother’s!”
“What’s the difference between us and the coolies on the dock!”
“Hey~”
“Thanks to Brother Gu, I was able to exempt me, a thousand households, from the Ministry of Work!”
“Come, I’ll toast Brother Gu for a drink.”
The two touched each other, and Gu Xueyi asked, “Brother Wang, what happened to the matter I let you stare at?” ”
Speaking of business, Wang Wendong put down the wine glass first, and said suspiciously: “It is indeed a little strange.” ”
“Some time ago, about a month ago, it’s in the evening.”
“There was a sudden huge explosion in the room you asked me to stare at!”
“My brother hurriedly took someone to check, for fear of a fire.”
“And guess what?”
“Stopped by Jin Yiwei!”
“It’s still the commander to make Mao Yi personally take action.”
“Mao Jiao, what kind of big man is that? Stopped by him! I don’t even dare to think about this kind of thing! ”
“The other day, there were two more explosions in quick succession!”
“The sound is deafening!”
explode
Gu Xueyi hurriedly asked, “This time I was stopped by Jinyiwei again?” ”
“Well, we didn’t go at all.”
“Last time I was stopped by Mao Yiwei, and I was given a silver ingot, everyone knows that this is Jinyiwei’s road money, and if I go again, I will have to eat the board.”
Explode!
Gu Xueyi took a bite of the dish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth thoughtfully.
Could it be that those two goods have developed a better gunpowder formula?
Right!
It must be so!
But why would Jin Yiwei stay there!
Could it be that Jinyiwei had already obtained information in advance and knew that there was a new type of gunpowder there?
Impossible!
If so, it is now attacking Annan and Wokou.
The emperor has always paid attention to quick victory, how could he squeeze such a powerful thing in his hand and not cause it!
Could it be that Jin Yiwei didn’t go to them?
If that’s the case, what is there that needs to be protected by Jin Yiwei?
Gu Xueyi was in a state of confusion, he was worried about the existence of Jinyiwei, but he couldn’t stand the temptation of the new gunpowder formula.
Since he stole the formula last time, plus helped Gongbu Langzhong to do a lot of things, he instantly went to the top!
But after coming and going, that little skill was exhausted, and Gongbu Langzhong found that his donkey skills were poor, and he gradually became estranged.
He also barely ate in the capital by bragging about his relationship with the ministry!
But this will show its stuffing early!
No matter!
Fortune and danger, fight for it!
“Thank you Brother Wang for telling me the news, I still have something to do, so I will leave first.”
He took out a silver ingot, and put it on the table: “If I pay for the wine, I should make amends to Brother Wang!” ”
“Leave!”
He walked out of the restaurant, found an old tavern hidden in the alley, bought altar wine, bought some cooked food for the wine, and walked towards Lan Zaichang.
But just a few steps closer to the alley, there was a sudden shout on the roof: “What for?” ”
Gu Xueyi subconsciously raised his head, and immediately his terrified soul was not reluctant, and the embroidered spring knife was too conspicuous.
Jin Yiwei!!
He whispered, “I…”
“I came to my master…”
“He..”
“He lives here.”
Gu Xueyi pointed to a door in the alley, and when Jin Yiwei saw that it was not Chen Yong’s house, he turned over and disappeared on the eaves.
“Phew!”
Scare him to death!
Sure enough, these brocade guards didn’t come for those two old collapsers!
I have overhearted.
Can…
He looked curiously into the depths of the alley, what was Jin Yiwei protecting?
Bang Bang Bang!
Bang Bang Bang!
He knocked on the door a few times, but there was no movement inside.
Did it go out?
At this time, that Wei Xueliang ran over: “Sir, my brothers have found the traces of those two!” ”
“Where? Take me with you! ”
“Good!”
Ying Tian.
Lan Zaichang, Tao Chengdao, and Chen Yong left the city and came to the depths of the lotus pond.
This is a famous slum in this area.
They entered a courtyard, and Chen Yong saw that the people inside were all skinny, their faces were sallow, and they were hungry and covered with skin and bones.
Everyone’s hands are full of dead skin, their cheeks are full of wrinkles, and their eyes are chaotic! (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
Even the child’s eyes don’t see a single bit of light.
“Mom, I’m hungry!”
“The meal will be ready immediately, wait for me.”
The woman carefully put the yellow rice with stones into the pot, added a handful of wild vegetables to it, and then took out a pocket, grabbed a handful of powder and put it in the pot.
That’s clearly dirt!
Chen Yong understood: “Guanyin soil! ”
The so-called Guanyin soil is not the soil that can be seen everywhere, but the cotton soil under the Guanyin statue.
It can be squeezed into a steamed bun and put in the pot to steam, and there is a feeling of fullness after eating, but because it cannot be digested, it will rise alive and die if you eat too much.
Some men have rounded bellies, but they are skinny, which is why they eat Guanyin soil.
Thanks to not bringing Ning Zhiyu and Shang Xiaoling, otherwise they would have been scared and couldn’t sleep for days.
This was true of the Ming Dynasty and even ancient societies.
There are flowers, but more so, upside down!
Chen Yong’s heart tightened, and when he saw Lan Zaichang walking out of a room, he took three steps and made two steps forward and asked, “Are they?” ”
“Brother Chen, they are craftsmen who came to meet the shift.”
At this time, a person walked out with Tao Chengdao, and Lan Zaichang introduced: “This is the leader of this shift, and it is also a famous jade craftsman in Jiangnan. ”
The old man saluted: “Old Lady, I have seen Sir.” ”
“Please.”
The group sat in the courtyard, and Chen Yong took out a silver ingots from his sleeve pocket: “Go buy something and come back, and pad their stomachs.” ”
Luo Ru hurriedly said, “Thank you, sir.” ”
He sent someone to go and arranged it as soon as it was made.
“Don’t hide this adult, these hands of the old man can scrape silk on the jade.”
“The jade tablets walking in the palace now are all designed by old immortals!”
Chen Yong was puzzled and asked, “Since there is such a good craft, then why did it fall to this point!” ”
“Hey~”
Luo Ru glanced at the majestic Ying Tiancheng: “It’s all to blame for that damn ancient learning art!!” ”
“He made us where we are.”
Ancient learning…
It’s him again, this person appears very often!
Listening to the old man tell their sad things, Chen Yong really didn’t know what to say.
Lan Zaichang said, “Brother Chen, it’s not a secret, this is the last time I came to see them.” ”
“Why?”
“It’s May, and after the autumn harvest in July, they’re going to run.”
“The smuggling boats have all been contacted, and they have traced up the Yangtze River and entered the Huguangxunyang Mountains.”
“July? The dealer is not yet ripe! ”
“That’s it.”
“Otherwise, now is the time of integrity and leisure, once the big work starts in August, it is really impossible to say how many of them will survive!”
“Also, these wastelands are newly reclaimed, but they are not included in the Yellow Book, so they are not protected by the emperor’s divine decree.”
“Before, a person overheard in the Ministry of Works that Gu Xueyi was planning to merge them all!”
“If we wait until the grain is fully ripe before we go to harvest, I am afraid that nothing will belong to us.”
Luo Ru was shocked: “Zaichang, how did you tell us everything!” ”
Lan Zaichang said: “Brother Luo, Brother Chen is trustworthy. ”
“He told us all the most advanced gunpowder and higher methods of manufacturing thunder mercury, what do we have to hide!”
“Gunpowder formula?” Luo Ru was puzzled and asked, “Wasn’t it stolen by that scum of Gu Xueyi?” ”
Lan Zaichang smiled bitterly and said, “I was blinded before!” ”
“Take waste as a treasure!”
“Brother Chen’s gunpowder formula is the most correct formula!”
Luo Ru was puzzled and asked, “This brother is also a craftsman?” ”
Chen Yong shook his head: “I am a private household!” ”
Hearing the words “household”, everyone instantly looked envious.
Why did the newly opened land in the lotus pond not enter the yellow book, and why did they fall to this point, is it not the harm of the word craftsman!
A private household, who knew the best gunpowder formula, told Lan Zaichang without reservation.
Luo Ru sighed with emotion: “It’s the little old man who is shallow.” ”
“What Old Immortal longs for most now is that Mr. Liaozhai will expose all the affairs of Gu Xueyi and let the emperor execute him!”
“In this way, our life will have some hope.”
Chen Yong said: “Don’t worry, Liaozhai will hear your voice.” ”
But~
That alone is not enough.
Luo Ru closed his eyes and prayed, “I hope so.” ”
The three stayed for a while and got up to leave, Chen Yong wanted to be alone and quiet, and let Lan Zaichang and the two go home first.
I don’t know how long I walked, buzz!
He heard the sound of pipa that he had heard on the Qinhuai River before.
“This is?”
Chen Yong stepped forward curiously, and sure enough, he saw the woman again.
The sound of the pipa is still the same as before, like a cry, playing to the end, the speed of fingers plucking the strings is getting faster and faster, and the whole person also complains.
What is her story?
Chen Yong groaned as he walked: “Ten years of life and death, do not think about self-forgetting, thousands of miles of lonely grave nowhere to talk desolate.” ”
“Even if you meet because you don’t know each other, your face is full of dust.”
The woman put her hand on the lute and said, “Sir, is there something wrong?” ”
“Can you tell me your story?”
“My story?”
“My name is Liaozhai!”
Strange…
“You are Mr. Chatsai?”
The woman stood up directly excitedly, her head was empty, and she couldn’t salute with a pipa in her hand, but she forgot to put the pipa aside, and stayed there at a loss!
She had been in Yingtian for so long, and naturally knew who Liaozhai was.
Many people begged to see him, but now they appeared in front of themselves?
She asked again in disbelief, “You are Mr. Liaozhai?” ”
“Yes!”
“Mr. Chatsai, would you like to hear my story?”
“From the sound of your piano, I heard the sadness that is not inferior to Su Shijiang Chengzi, which is why I made this abrupt remark.”
The woman shook her head: “It’s okay~”
“I played the lute on the street to let more people know the man’s story.”
“Although his body is dead, his soul is not extinguished!”
The name Liaozhai is the greatest credibility for ordinary people!
Chen Yong found a teahouse, the two sat looking at each other, and the woman told her story all.
“It turned out to be a hard craftsman!”
