surnamed Wang

Chapter 269 Anzi
Wang Gangquan rushed towards the sound of the explosion in a hurry, and happened to meet Liu Luming and his party on the way.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, I just came back."

The two looked at each other, and then hurriedly ran towards the ordnance factory together.

When the two arrived at the ordnance factory, the place was already on fire. Jing Huwei and the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion all came, but they couldn't do anything in the face of the ferocious fire.

Explosions were heard from inside, accompanied by bullets. Several people were injured just now, and no one dared to approach it anymore.

"What's going on inside?"

Wang Gangquan asked a commander of the guards of the capital.

"Returning to the lord, according to the craftsman, the fire started strangely, it must have been deliberately set on fire.

There were not too many casualties, but the projectiles were flying everywhere, and there was really no way to get close. "

Wang Gangquan nodded, and asked Liu Luming beside him:
"What is stored where the fire is?"

Liu Luming said with a face full of pain:

"It's just a few hundred improved guns and four cannons, and some ammunition."

"Are there still guns and cannons outside?"

"That's all that's left for testing today. Two hundred firecrackers plus one cannon. There's still some ammunition in other warehouses."

"You arrange someone to take good care of the remaining ordnance, and I'll go to the palace."

After Wang Gangquan gave his orders, he walked directly towards the palace.

……

It was late at night, and Wang Gangquan was walking alone on the secluded path, only the sound of his footsteps could be heard around him. After a long time, he said in a deep voice:

"Mouse!"

"exist."

A woman appeared beside him.

"What do the dark guards do? How could someone blow up the ordnance factory? How many spies did Wang Bingde plant in the capital?" Wang Bingquan said slightly angrily.

"According to your order, we secretly dispatched a lot of manpower, and the second prince's spies were also pulled out seven or eighty-eight, but this time the people who did it this time were not even expected by us."

"Who?"

"It's Su Qiaoqiao who returned the dark order."

Wang Gangquan paused when he heard the words, his face full of disbelief, and after a long time, he started to walk again, and said while walking:

"Grab it up and put it in the sky prison. Without my order, no one can see it."

"Yes."

When he came to the brightly lit place, Wang Gangquan was alone again, his face was uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

……

In the imperial study room, several officials were already waiting here. Wang Gingquan's face sank like water, which made these few officials who could support half of the dynasty unable to help feeling afraid.

"My lords must have heard that the ordnance factory was bombed and all the guns and cannons were destroyed. What Wang Bingde did was to challenge the king's bottom line.

Lord Shangshu, are the troops going south ready? "

Wang Gingquan looked at Shangshu of the Ministry of War, his eyes were cold, the latter dared not say anything, he hurriedly bowed and said:

"Go back to the lord, we can set off early tomorrow morning, I wonder which general the lord wants to fight?"

Wang Qingquan said coldly:

"I'll go there myself."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the Cabinet Grand Master beside him, and asked in a deep voice:

"How are the missions of the civil servants going?"

"Return to the prince, it has been completed according to your order."

"Really, don't hold back."

"My lord, please rest assured that the quality and quantity are guaranteed. When it comes to slandering people, several colleagues are very good at it."

Hearing this, Wang Gangquan frowned and said:
"How can it be called slander? If you want the rumor to be true, you who made the rumor must first believe it yourself."

"My lord taught me a lesson, so I'll ask them to rewrite it." The cabinet's first-rank bachelor said quickly.

"No, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so let's do this first."

The scholar wiped the sweat from his brow, nodded in agreement, but felt sorry for the rebellious prince in his heart.

"It's all gone."

Wang Gingquan waved to everyone.

……

The dark dungeon is gloomy and damp, this is the second time for Wang Bingquan to come here, and the last time was when Wang Bingquan conspired against him.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or fate, but the cell Su Qiaoqiao was in was exactly the one where Wang Bingjin was imprisoned, it was located at the end of the bottom floor of the sky prison.

Wang Gangquan has always attached great importance to this younger sister who was picked up halfway.

Whether it's spending money extravagantly every day, or going out to steal officials' mansions in the middle of the night, Wang Bingquan can take care of it for her, but she absolutely shouldn't, she shouldn't have anything to do with Wang Bingde.

Thinking about it now, the two met at the beginning was too coincidental, as if it had been specially arranged, if Wang Gingquan hadn't specifically asked Hai Zhu to confirm what happened back then, he would have even doubted her princess's identity.

Pushing open the door of the cell, the layout of the room came into view. It was still the same as before, with a ray of sunlight shining through the iron window, a thin layer of straw was spread on the floor, and a wooden barrel was placed in the corner as a convenient place.

Wang Gingquan frowned and looked at Su Qiaoqiao who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with her back to him, not knowing how to speak.

On the contrary, Su Qiaoqiao was very open-minded. She turned her head to look at him, then patted the straw beside her, and said:

"You're welcome, just be the same as your own home, sit down."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at the moon outside through the barred window again.

Wang Gangquan remained silent, he had also told Su Qiaoqiao before.After hesitating for a moment, he walked to the other side and sat down.

Su Qiaoqiao looked up at the moon with bright eyes and said:

"You know, this period of time is the happiest I've ever lived, whether it's you or Xiao Chunzi, they spoil me and let me go, and my mother has treated me so well in this life.

But the more this happened, the more regretful I felt, because I owed a favor that must be repaid, and I was really afraid that one day that person would let me kill you.

But it's okay, in the end he just let me blow up the armory.In fact, I was still very apprehensive before I did it. I didn't know how you would treat me. I was afraid that you would pretend that nothing happened and choose to forgive me.

If so, I would feel worse than dying. "

Speaking of this, Su Qiaoqiao turned her head to look at the man beside her who treated her kindly, and said with a slightly choked tone:
"Brother, I'm sorry for you."

Wang Quanquan closed his eyes, tried his best to suppress his emotions, and asked as calmly as possible:

"What kind of favor do you owe him to deserve this?"

Su Qiaoqiao turned her head to look out the window again and said:

"My mother was seriously ill back then, and that man asked someone to see a doctor and get her medicine. Later, my mother still left. I also knew that he was using me, but I can't forget this kindness."

Speaking of this, Su Qiaoqiao paused, then looked at Wang Quanquan again, "Brother, do you hate me?"

Wang Gangquan shook his head and said calmly:

"What is there to hate, ask yourself, if I were in your situation, I would also repay this kindness.

If you say hate, it's better to hate me for showing up too late, causing you to suffer for so many years, and even more hating father for not fulfilling his responsibilities. "

Su Qiaoqiao's tears finally flowed down, and she said in a crying voice:

"Brother, can you not kill me? I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of indebted to you. Can you give me another chance? I want to make up for it."

Wang Gangquan sighed, "Let's talk about everything when I come back."

After that, he got up and left the cell.

Su Qiaoqiao stared blankly at Wang Gingquan's leaving back, she opened her mouth to persuade him to stay, but in the end she didn't say anything.

She had a feeling that her elder brother was about to disappear.
