Daming Yinghua

Chapter 210
"Why are the two team leaders dead?"

In the Luxiang Garden, Miao Ruiyun, who was savoring embroidery samples carefully, raised his face when he heard Wang Yuesheng came in and said bad news about the firearms factory, and asked Wang Yuesheng in surprise.

Yuesheng put down the piano and said respectfully: "Group Leader Liu has always been diligent and smart, and he keeps coming up with small ideas. According to the rules set by Miss Zheng, I often give him rewards. He has a lot of money, and he lives in the village under Sheshan Mountain. He appointed a little girl to be a concubine. Because of this, his wife often got into trouble with him, and he refused to go home. Unexpectedly, the old bachelor of the Chen team took advantage of the situation and secretly communicated with Liu's wife. , made into mandarin ducks. I don’t know who told Team Leader Liu, and Team Leader Liu tricked Team Deputy Chen out to swim in the river and poisoned his tea.”

Miu Ruiyun's eyes showed doubts: "Then why is Team Leader Liu dead?"

Yuesheng said: "According to the boatman's account to the yamen, when he saw that Deputy Chen's appearance was not right, he was so frightened that he asked Chief Liu if he had tampered with the tea soup. Throwing Team Leader Liu down and gouging out his face and temples, how can Old Chen survive."

"Oh, that's it." Miao Ruiyun stared at the mottled tree shadows on the ground that looked like copper coins, and asked again, "Did you listen to the case when the county government tried it? What's the background of the boatman?"

Yuesheng understood that Miao Ruiyun suspected that the case was not that simple, so he said eloquently: "If you go back to Mrs. Sun, both Yuesheng and Master Sun have gone to the trial. The boatman came from Jiangbei to work hard. After the accident, he immediately went to the shore and shouted. Killing, it shouldn’t be like this. If you talk about hatred, the county magistrate asked Mrs. Chen, She Shan’s concubine, and the neighbors of Chen and Liu’s family, and they all said that they didn’t know the boatman, so they didn’t think there was any hatred.”

Miao Ruiyun nodded, didn't ask any further questions, but rubbed his temples, and said softly, "Let's play "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun" today."

But Yuesheng didn't finish his business: "Ah Tai, the commercial governor of Fujian intends to eliminate bandits colluding with Frankies and smugglers in the Fujian-Zhejiang sea area, and recruited Ding Zhuang, and asked our firearms factory for [-] pieces of machine guns. When the fire was burning, something happened in group B, and Ge Hong's fellow countryman hadn't come south yet. Master Gu recommended an old blacksmith to come over, saying that he helped him make the iron tools that he sent to Chongming, and knew how to make them. One hundred steel refining is the key to the gun barrel."

"Oh?" Miao Ruiyun's eyes flashed, "Yesterday, Ah Qian came to pay his respects, and I didn't hear him mention it. Why is this kid so tight-lipped? He didn't say anything about what happened to the firearms factory. explain."

Wang Yuesheng smiled: "Master Sun, Young Master Gu, they are men who do great things, they cherish their words like gold, and they are calm and restrained."

Miao Ruiyun pursed her lips and smiled.

Yuesheng, this girl, can still occasionally show her background when she was a maid at the Qinhuai River, and she puts a cold look on her face, and she is still obsessed with men who are either rich or noble or talented. Like Zheng girl, her heart is always the same as that of a man.

So Miao Ruiyun nodded and said: "This might as well be the beginning of a blessing in disguise. Ah Qian was brought up by me. He has no blood relatives but foster relatives. It is a good thing that he can slowly enter the firearms factory. You might as well learn from him more in the future." Adding fuel to the flames, we gradually brought some old blacksmiths from Fujian to work in the factory. I think Sun Yuanhua will go to the Ministry of Industry and Engineering of the capital sooner or later to apply for an official. Scholars like them would really be willing to stay in the workshop for the rest of their lives."

……

In May in Sheshan, the plum season is not yet here, and the climate is comfortable.

Sometimes there are cranes in the Huating Pavilion and deer playing in the forest, so it is the same as when the forest is fully dyed in late autumn, and it is the most touristy.

There is also a lot of incense in front of the Wusheng Temple.

"Master, the one supported by the green-clothed maid is Miao Ruiyun."

In the forest, Han Xiying, who was wearing a sunshade round hat that is fashionable among women in Nanzhili, was at the side of a stall selling Shaguo "Thirsty Water" (a kind of fruit and vegetable drink). road.

Tong Xiyu took a sip of the refreshing thirsty fruit drink, glanced sideways at her little servant, and then turned to ask her number one servant, Li Desheng, "Look carefully at that old face?"

Li Desheng said earnestly: "Return to the master, look carefully, when does the master want to do it?"

Tong Xiyu pretended to be considerate and asked Han Xiying: "Girl, I'm your enemy. You can set a date for the old woman's death."

However, Han Xiying had already received the hatred, and her words were cute: "The master came forward to make decisions for the slaves. If this old thing dies in the third watch, her life will not last until the fifth watch. However, it is only the first watch now, Brother Du He just entered the firearms factory and took the novices to forge barrels. He didn’t have a chance to see how the blast furnace and the clay molds of the cannon were made. Besides, he said that my brother-in-law was drawing new books on various firearms for Sun Yuanhua, and he wanted to wait for us When we retreated north, we took away people and books together. The servant thought that Miao Ruiyun should not be killed first, otherwise, if something happened to the old lady and the Gu family panicked, my brother-in-law's book would definitely be interrupted."

Tong Xiyu bared her buck teeth, and said with satisfaction: "Ah Ying, if our team really got the method of making cannons this time, and return to Hetuala, our old Tong's family may be able to raise the flag and enter Sibeile's banner. At that time, I will ask Fujin to come forward and find you a Niu Luerzhen, and let him accept you as a foster daughter. Your life will be much easier in the future. It is no problem to hold your brother-in-law in Jianzhou and be a little master. Down."

If it wasn't for people coming and going, Han Xiying would have knelt down to thank Tong Xiyu for her arrangement.

She thought from the bottom of her heart that God would take pity on her, Han Xiying, after all.Those who could not be obtained in Songjiang back then can be kidnapped and made into mandarin ducks from other races, which can be regarded as a happy ending after a long time.

The little bitch surnamed Zheng must also be taken to Hetuala, and I want to watch her become the most humble coat.As for the eldest sister Han Ximeng, Han Xiying had a hard time deciding how to deal with it.After all, the two sisters got along well in their childhood and girlhood, and Han Xiying was a little reluctant to kill her sister who was good to her in the past, just like she killed Miao Ruiyun.

A few days later, this group of people with ulterior motives hurried to the seaside of Taicang, and when they met Tong Yangzheng, Tong Fengnian and his son, the plan conveyed by Tong's family solved Han Xiying's problem.

"The cannons from Chongming Island can't be taken away anyway. What Sibeile means is, let Master Yuetuo and our people blow up that Zhengjiazhuang. Firstly, it's more or less out of Fushun's bad breath, and secondly, it's for Jianzhou The dog slaves of the Han people stand up again and see if any of them dare to flee south!"

As soon as Tong Xiyu heard Huang Taiji's order, he found it interesting, so he asked his second brother Tong Yangzheng: "So you will wait until you buy the firecracker from that Yao Qianhu before you start?"

"Well," Tong Yangzheng nodded, "coincidentally, I heard that the surname Zheng is going to hold a wedding banquet for his nephew in Zhuangzi. If he can bombard a few famous people to death together, it will be a great achievement. "

When Han Xiying heard the words, she thought that from the circumstances of the investigation, Han Ximeng is still in Chongming, and will be within the range of the artillery at that time. It is up to God to decide whether he lives or dies.
