This sudden rain that made the entire Shangyang City feel that it did not stop, even if there was some momentum of slowing down just now, but it was not slowing down in the end, and even at this time, the rain began to really get bigger.
It really started to rain like a summer rain.
It's no longer slender and slender, moisturizing things silently.
The raindrops began to fall like soybeans, on the ground, on the eaves, and made a crackling sound like stir-fried soybeans in a dry pan.
This is the true posture of summer rain.
Chen Liang and Bai Qingyun walked in such a rain, from the silent rain to the raindrops formed like beans, the heavy rain fell violently, and the sound of crackling raindrops on the ground filled the ears of the two.
Even such raindrops fell on the body, on the head, next to the ears.
Make the sound of such raindrops clearer.
Bai Qingyun, who had a talisman attached to his forehead, was not drenched by the sudden and heavy rainstorm, walking in such a rain, like a lotus flower that came out of the mud and was not stained, white and flawless, not stained with the slightest dust.
The sound of raindrops is in your ears.
Bai Qingyun looked sideways at Chen Liang, who was walking aside, and said loudly: "It's raining heavily." ”
Chen Liang, who had already removed the talisman on his forehead, naturally did not have the slightest rain like Bai Qingyun, and the big raindrops re-wet Chen Liang's originally slightly dry clothes, and even felt like water.
Chen Liang, whose eyes were also full of rain, wiped the rain on his eyelashes and eyebrows, and then looked at Bai Qingyun on the side.
"What should come is still coming."
Bai Qingyun didn't understand what Chen Liang meant, and didn't know if Chen Liang was talking about the rain or something else.
"You shouldn't have uncovered the talisman just now."
Bai Qingyun looked at Chen Liang, who was soaking wet, and felt a little distressed in her heart, especially the rain that flowed down from Chen Liang's hair, sideburns, and forehead like a line.
Chen Liang retracted his gaze slightly, and at this time, the two of them had already walked out of this alley near the West Factory.
Out of the alley, look to the left, is the gate of the West Factory.
On this crucial street of the temple of the Anping Dynasty, the construction of the West Factory is obviously somewhat unusual, even dilapidated.
Everyone knows that most of the buildings located on this street are the departmental mansions of the Anping Dynasty, there are six departments of the yamen, there are Dali Temple, there are Guozijian, the building construction of these departments is naturally more magnificent, after all, this is the department mansion of the Anping Dynasty, and the work on the face must be more or less done.
Just like a sentence that was widely circulated some time ago, now that you are in the government, don't do anything to benefit one party and benefit the people, the face project is the biggest project, it can't represent everything, but it can more or less represent some strength.
Even the well-known Qingshui Yamen Rite Department above the temple, their mansion was built with great momentum, it is said that it took a whole year of money and silver taels for the Ministry of Rites, and after it was built, it didn't even have to be worse than the other departments of the six departments, you must know that the Ministry of Rites said that it sounded good, it could be called Qingshui, but it was plain and popular, that is, poor.
This should be the poorest front-line department above the temple.
But as the current incumbent Ministry of Rites Shangshu said, you can't lose momentum if you lose money.
This is the opposite of the West Factory.
As a department directly under His Majesty the Emperor, Xichang is also a very important department for the Emperor, and can help His Majesty the Emperor do a lot of things that cannot be done, so the support given by His Majesty, whether it is in terms of funds or actions, is naturally indispensable.
But it is not visible from the construction of the West Factory.
It's very ordinary.,It looks like a certain family that isn't very good.。
The plaque on the ordinary wooden gate is not outstanding, and even under the wind and rain, it is no longer clear what is written on it, probably because the plaque has not been changed for so many years.
Such a department, there is not even a pair of decent stone lion statues, not to mention the many departments on this street, that is, the family with a slightly better family, who does not put two stone lion statues at the door to shock.
But think about it can also understand that the role of the stone lion statue is nothing more than two, one is to show off, because this kind of stone lion statue is extremely expensive, not the average family can afford it, and the West Factory does not need any display, and even in the Anping Dynasty, it is so low-key that it can no longer be low-key, but it is such a low-key yamen, no one will dare to underestimate it.
Second, it is used to suppress evil spirits, not to mention, an organization like the West Factory, just hanging the name there, it is enough to suppress the evil spirit, and even many people are talking in private that the West Factory is actually nothing more than evil.
Chen Liang and Bai Qingyun walked out of the rain and walked to the gate of the West Factory, looking at this gate that was extremely different from the West Factory.
Bai Qingyun said out loud with some incomprehension: "This is the West Factory? But how could this West Factory be so downtrodden, it was not even as good as the mansion of our Elder of the Eternal Sect. ”
Of course, Bai Qingyun didn't count Guo Shicheng's mansion.
Chen Liang looked at this extremely ordinary wooden door and was a little incomprehensible, it stands to reason that an organization like Xichang must not be short of money, so why is even a gate so downtrodden, not even as good as the original Xu family.
Chen Liang couldn't understand it, so it was naturally difficult to answer Bai Qingyun's questions.
In fact, just as Chen Liang guessed, an organization like Xichang is a direct department under the emperor, and it can secretly do some things for His Majesty the emperor that cannot be put on the table, the simplest ones are assassination and eavesdropping.
Such an organization is naturally not short of money.
When the West Factory was built in Shangyang City, Feng Weizheng did get a large sum of silver taels to build the West Factory, but Feng Weizheng only took out a small part of it, and all the remaining silver taels were returned to Liu Pi, and even the plaque at the door was relocated from the old capital.
Liu Pi looked at the large amount of silver taels that Feng Weizheng sent back to him, and asked why in a somewhat confused way.
That's exactly how Feng Wei replied.
He said that the west factory of Jinyiwei is specially for the service of His Majesty the emperor, not for the ministers of the court, so the west factory is a simple office, and does not contact with the ministers of the court, only listens to His Majesty, and naturally does not need to build a luxurious atmosphere.
After Liu Pi heard this, he was naturally happy in his heart.
Of course, Liu Pi did not ask for the last silver tael, but rewarded Feng Weizheng in his own name.
At this time, the wooden door of the West Factory did not open, but closed tightly.
I don't know if it's because of the rain or what.
Bai Qingyun asked out loud: "The door didn't open, did you knock on the door, or did you ......?"
Bai Qingyun's voice was not finished, and he was directly interrupted by Chen Liang in a cold voice.
"If you are not a guest, why knock on the door!"
