At this moment, no one noticed that a four-wheeled carriage was quietly parked at an intersection in Shucheng. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the body stabilized, I saw that the curtain of the carriage was gently lifted. Immediately, a pair of vicious eyes appeared in the curtain. These eyes had been staring coldly at the scholar who was in front of the billboard at this time, giving an impassioned speech.

The reason why this scholar was full of anger and excitement was because he was denouncing the scholars of the Black Dragon Society.

"Let's go!" After looking at it for a while, the people in the carriage quietly lowered the curtains, and an indifferent male voice faintly came out of the carriage. As his words fell, the carriage moved again.

During the march, there was a faint voice of another woman in the carriage, whispering to another person in the carriage: "Don't pay too much attention to it, they are just a group of fools, and this is just a whim of a group of rabble." If Great Xia wants to restore the rule of Yunzhou, even if it has to sacrifice a little foolish people, why not?"

Her words didn't seem to get any response.

The carriage continued on its way, until it turned a corner, and then a cold voice said gloomily, "I never cared about the opinions of the fools...... Prepare, the dragon head has already made a decision, to do a big thing in Shucheng, to fight back against the Shucheng government's attack on the Black Dragon Society, and there will be action in the near future, and we must respond to any assigned tasks in the organization. ”

"Yes, Dragon Right Envoy. The female voice said respectfully.

After a while, the carriage finally stopped again.

This time, it stopped outside the door of a green building.

This green building with a plaque of "Tanchun" can be said to be well-known in this area. Even in the daytime on ordinary days, there are many benefactors here, singing and dancing, so lively.

Of course, Tanchun Tower can also withstand such a bustle, because there are some of the best postures, pleasing singing and dancing, and all kinds of tenderness that people can't give up......

Therefore, such a place of fireworks is naturally "far prestigious" among men, but it is also subject to the cold words of women. But despite this, it did not affect the people of Tanchun Building in the slightest, and it was bustling.

However, the people in this carriage are obviously not the kind of people who come to look for flowers and willows. Because, the carriage did not stop outside the main entrance of the Tanchun Tower.

The carriage drove all the way to the back alley of Tanchun Tower.

This is the back door of Tanchun Tower. After the carriage stopped, two people jumped lightly from the carriage and entered the Qinglou directly through the back door.

The actions of the two of them were particularly light and familiar from beginning to end, but no one noticed the difference between the two of them.

The main entrance of Tanchun Building is as lively as ever.

The front yard of Tanchun Building, is a public place for benefactors to appreciate the beauty of the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing skills, the general benefactors come in, if there is no person to serve, are staying here, the owner of the Qinglou will have a lot of programs to arrange for these benefactors to entertain, and at this time, the front yard will float out from time to time some light singing and dancing sounds, and the people who pass outside the Tanchun Building are also ape-minded;

The middle courtyard of Tanchun Building, the main building is an attic, up and down the attic, is a row of guest rooms, here is a private place for the guests to meet with the head of Tanchun Building and the Oiran alone;

As for the backyard of Tanchun Building, it is unknown to ordinary people, it is the private residence of the owner of the Qinglou, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach, and there are strong men guarding the separation between the middle courtyard and the backyard on weekdays.

To say that this Tanchun Building is indeed not an ordinary Qinglou house. In fact, the history of this Tanchun Tower is very long, and not many people can even say when it was built, only know that during the reign of the Xia Kingdom, the Tanchun Tower has existed, and it has been at least fifteen years.

However, for a Qinglou that has been around for a few years, few people know who its owner is. Under normal circumstances, ordinary benefactors only know the bustard here, the top brand Oiran or something, in fact, no one wants to explore, behind these Qinglou women who entertain benefactors, there is also the existence of an owner.

At least, everyone in the market can only say that these people can be seen on the surface, and no one has ever thought that the reason why Tanchunlou has been able to exist for so long and has not been easily forced to close its doors is because there is a solid force behind it, and it is unlikely that anyone will further associate it, Tanchunlou may even have any relationship with the official figures.

And this is precisely the reason why the Xinghua Empire did not take too many actions against Tanchun Tower after it occupied Yunzhou.

Although the Xinghua Empire originally had the idea of preserving the original natural and man-made ecological environment of the people, in order to ensure that there was no chance for those hidden forces to brew rebellion, the Xinghua Empire still ordered the closure of several businesses, but this did not include Tanchun Tower.

For the Xinghua Empire, as long as it does not threaten the rule of the empire, in order to maintain the rule of the empire, the empire can temporarily accommodate the merchants like Tanchun Tower, which seems to be not on the table but the people want to keep it to a certain extent, and let them continue to operate for the time being.

In particular, because the purge operation at the beginning of the Xinghua Empire's capture of Yunzhou was mainly aimed at the Xia nobles, gentry, and the large landlord class of Yunzhou, the Xinghua Empire received the tacit support of many Yunzhou merchants.

Therefore, the Xinghua Empire also needs to show a certain degree of tolerance in order to win over some small fish. As long as it is not a big fish that has been verified and has obvious counter-inspiring tendencies, under normal circumstances, the Xinghua Empire will not rush to move them.

And Tanchun Tower is a super big fish.

But what about the truth behind the facts?

Tanchun Building is really not a simple and pure green building.

In fact, Tanchun Tower is not only related to the characters on the official face of Xia Guo, but even has the high-level background of Xia Guo - Tanchun Tower is actually the property of a prince of the royal family of Xia State!

Of course, the relationship behind this is impossible for ordinary people to know. In fact, even among the royal family of the Xia Kingdom, not many people knew about the existence of Tanchun Tower.

To say that this Xia Wang Ye is a prince who was canonized as the "King of Shu", the King of Shu actually does not have a real fief in Yunzhou, but he has a name of Shu.

This king of Shu, in Shucheng, Yunzhou, has a lot of industries, many businesses rely on his investment to operate, and the industries are also relatively wide, such as green buildings, gambling houses and so on.

However, despite the wealth and power of this Shu king, he is not like other royal nobles, acting flamboyantly, and how many industries he has are known in the streets. On the contrary, he generally does not openly manage these properties, but sends a special administrator, who helps him take care of these businesses on weekdays, and takes care of the supervision of various businesses.

After all, some businesses are not very suitable for outsiders to know, and their operations are still related to the royal family, otherwise it will still damage the royal face to some extent.

For example, Tanchun Tower.

However, the shopkeeper on the bright side of Tanchun Building is not this administrator. In order to be more concealed and isolated, the administrator also found someone to act as the shopkeeper on the bright side of Tanchun Building. The shopkeeper is responsible for reporting directly to the administrator on matters related to the Spring Building.

Originally, such an isolation was just to protect the royal face and the secrecy of its actions, but unexpectedly, after the Xinghua Empire attacked Yunzhou and occupied Yunzhou, it became an excellent hiding place for the royal family of the Xia Kingdom.

With the acquiescence of the royal family of the Xia Kingdom, the King of Shu established the Black Dragon Society.

Although the King of Shu is the leader of the Black Dragon Society, almost all the backbones in the Black Dragon Society are secret agents of the Xia Imperial Court.

The right envoy of the dragon is one of the secret agents of Great Xia, and the Xia court suppressed the division of Qianhu Xia Zuobing.

Xia Zuobing sneaked into Yunzhou three months ago as the right envoy of the Black Dragon Society. Xia Zuobing's task was to create chaos in Yunzhou at the right time and help the Xia army defeat the Xinghua army. The people who infiltrated Yunzhou with Xia Zuobing, as well as more than a hundred of his subordinate black-clothed guards.

These black-clothed guards are all direct descendants of Xia Zuobing.

Because Xia Zuobing got accurate information, the Xia army began to attack Jianguan. That's why Xia Zuobing can't wait to do it. His targets were two large warehouses in Shu City.

These two warehouses are the parity granary in the south of the city and the arsenal in the military camp in the north of the city. Xia Zuobing was convinced that these two warehouses, no matter which one of the warehouses the Xinghua Empire lost, would inevitably have a certain impact on the battle situation in Yunzhou. Destroying the two warehouses, Xia Zuobing did not dare to say that it would decide the outcome of the war, but at least he had an explanation for his superiors.

Otherwise, Xia Zuobing would have to bear the responsibility of more than a thousand members of the Black Dragon Society in Shucheng being wiped out.

Xia Zuobing, accompanied by Feng Lan, the shopkeeper of Tanchun Building, entered the backyard of Tanchun Building. Feng Lan took Xia Zuobing to the door of a study and said, "My lord, this is your room, it's okay, the slave family has retired." Back in Tanchun Tower, Feng Lan returned to her true character as a shopkeeper, and her speech and actions changed.

Xia Zuobing nodded and said, "You go down." ”

Feng Lan retreated, Xia Zuobing entered the study, walked straight to a bookshelf, and twisted a fixed book.

Buzz Buzz...... The bookshelf turned outward, and a pitch-black underground entrance appeared in front of Xia Zuobing.

Xia Zuobing walked into the underground entrance, closed the bookshelves, and walked fifty-two steps, suddenly enlightened.

A huge stone chamber filled with oil lamps appeared in front of Xia Zuobing.

In the stone room, there were fifteen men in strong suits, waiting for Xia Zuobing.

"See Senho-sama!" Fifteen people paid homage to Xia Zuobing. Fifteen of them are small leaders, each in charge of a team, hiding all over Shu City.

Xia Zuobing nodded, walked to a chair and sat down, and said to the fifteen men: "Get up, this time our mission is the granary and weapon warehouse in Shucheng." He paused, glanced at his subordinates who did not change their faces, approving in his heart, and continued: "In view of the Black Dragon Society branch in Shu City, it has been devastated. This time, we, the Hall of Shadows, are responsible for carrying out this mission. ”

Why is the Shadow Hall of the Black Dragon Society mysterious? It is because the main core members of the Shadow Hall are secret agents of the imperial court. Not only because of the assassination, but also because of the nature of the secret agent, the members of the Shadow Hall must not show up in the crowd.

"I hope you can burn down the two warehouses with a fire. Xia Zuobing said.

When three or four people heard this, they asked a little hesitantly: "My lord, the granary is located in the south of the city, which is a residential area, will it be easy to have accidents?" They all understood what Xia Zuobing meant, but they were a little worried that the fire would affect the people's houses and cause a big fire. If the fire spreads to the people's houses, it will be an earth-shattering disaster that will kill many people.

"We are secret agents of the imperial court, and we don't need to think about other issues. Xia Zuobing said gloomily, "In order to recover the country, we must strive for victory at any cost. ”

Then, Xia Zuobing and his subordinates studied the plan to burn down the two major warehouses in Shucheng.

This plan was divided into two parts, and Xia Zuobing regarded the granary in the south of the city as a key plan. The weapons warehouse in the north of the city is a secondary plan. It stands to reason that the weapons warehouse is the most important thing for the Xinghua Army. However, Xia Zuobing knows how to analyze, and he feels that the weapon warehouse is important, which means that it is difficult to succeed in a sneak attack. That being the case, why not concentrate the main forces on the destruction of the granary.

"The plan will start two days later, in the middle of the night, the third watch ......"

Xinghua Empire, a suburb of Xinghua New Town, a mining site in the northwest direction.

Yi Xingchen, under the protection of the palace guards, entered the metal copper mine.

"Your Majesty, the metal copper mine has an annual output of 5,000 tons of copper last year, and this year's introduction of Blue Mercury's mining equipment is expected to increase to 50,000 tons...... Copper was mainly used to meet the production needs of the Imperial Factory: to make bullets, wires, etc. ”

The person in charge of the metal copper mine reported to Yi Xingchen.

Yi Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "What is the situation of the Blue Mercury Ganglong people in the mine, do they have any needs?"

"Your Majesty, those miners are docile and very good at operating machines. We gave them a higher salary, two meals a day to three meals...... These miners had demands, they wanted their children to be educated, and they asked the Empire to give their children a chance. The head of the mine replied.

Yi Xingchen thought for a while and said, "You can give them a hope." ”

"The Imperial Cabinet has just adopted a draft resolution ready to attract more talent, to the factory. There was no shortage of high intellectuals in these Ganglongs, and they were more suitable senior workers for the development of heavy industry in the empire. Yi Xingchen said, "As long as they enter the production factories in the primary industrial area, the empire will exonerate him from his crimes." He and one of his family members can leave the mine with them, improve their lives, and educate their children. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" said the head of the mine, "I'll go and announce it to them." ”

Yi Xingchen wanted to see the reaction of the miners, so he didn't leave.

About twenty minutes later, there was a cheer from the mine.

This shows that the miners still approve of the cabinet's decree. Yi Xingchen said.

"Your Majesty is merciful, and they are certainly grateful to Your Majesty. Yan En said on the side.

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "I don't need their thanks, just work hard." (To be continued.) )
