Chapter 390: Retreat
At the invitation of the female surgeon and the charcoal of black powder, this chapter is called "Big Master." ”
"How?"
"Yes......,... The little lady ........., and the three people she brought...... "......"
"Did you catch it?"
"Back to the eldest master, ran away, I don't know what method they used, there are so many Jinyi guards, I didn't catch them. Lord Luo said, "only" go down! ”
"Yes!"
The old butler bowed subconsciously through the door, and then quietly retreated.
In the study, Xu Huizu lit up the wick a little, put on the lampshade again, leaned back on the chair, and sighed tiredly.
Hearing that the little sister was not left behind, Xu Huizu was a little disappointed, but he also felt relieved. In the past few days, he has been living alone in the study, and the most important thing is that he is afraid of facing the tears of his third brother and sister, and some hateful eyes with his nephews and nieces, and even ............ His wife and children all looked at him with strange eyes, and even the second wife quietly restrained her children from appearing in front of him.
They didn't know that the third child was dead, they just thought that they had put the third child in prison, that was the attitude, if they knew...", although he was still the head of the Xu family and had a supreme position in the Xu family, but he had a feeling of betrayal and separation.
"Am I really doing something wrong?"
Xu Huizu subconsciously remembered that day again.
Zhu Yunfen was annoyed and angry by Xu Huizu's words, took off the sword from the wall, and stabbed Xu Zengshou in the chest, "so fast that he didn't even have time to kneel down and plead." He really didn't want to force the third brother to die, as the eldest son of the Xu family, he was given many responsibilities and obligations since he was a child. At that time, he just wanted to tie up his third brother and ask the emperor for the crime, "full of the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, the preservation of the name of the Xu family, and the whole house"......
When the time comes, with the Xu family's great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, and with the Danshu iron coupon given by Emperor Taizu, he will beg for a good life and spare the life of the third brother, but who knows......
He watched as the sharp long sword pierced into his third brother's chest, viciously and without hesitation.
He was sad, but he couldn't afford to hate the emperor. The monarch's father's imperial power is ordered by heaven "Whose life does the emperor want to take, do you need a reason?" Shouldn't it?
The Xu family is the first family of the Ming Dynasty, but the family is not a gate valve, the door valve of the Han and Tang dynasties, the imperial power is just dependent and used "They are loyal to only their own family, and the family is completely dependent on the imperial power for their own survival, Xu Huizu has a very orthodox idea of loyalty."
He doesn't hate the emperor, he hates Yan's wife, he hates Yanwang's spies, and he hates the third brother for being confused.
So when Luo Kedi, who hurried over and only grabbed a corpse, "turned to hide the news of Xu Zengshou's death and used Xu Zengshou as bait" to lure King Yan's people to take the bait, he happily agreed.
Luo Kedi has been carefully deployed for so long, but he still failed tonight, and then "it's time to announce the death of the third child, at that time" Will the family believe it, what will Miaojin think, and how should I face all my relatives?
Xu Huizu let out a long sigh, propped his elbows on the table, and covered his face tiredly.
In only a few days, he was much older.

"When, when, dang......"
"In response to the order of the Heavenly Government, all the streets and alleys, men, women and children, who open their doors to do business and close their doors to live, have all heard to me clearly, and from now on, those who are not permanent residents will all go to the yamen to report. They all stared wide-eyed, at home, in the store, in the neighborhood, whether they were visiting relatives, visiting friends, working or living in the store, even if they were begging along the street, they all reported to the government when they saw a fresh face, if they caught the lawbreaker, the whistleblower was rewarded heavily, and if the government caught the criminal first, those who did not know about it would be treated as the same criminal! ”
In the streets and alleys, there are villagers sent by the government everywhere to announce the news to the people. The people who showed up that night, including Xia Xun, were all painted by the government and pasted all over the streets and alleys.
On the streets of Ranshi Lane, the shopkeeper who sells duck blood soup has not seen the pot-bellied man come to drink two bowls of duck blood soup and eat six scallion pancakes for several days. ”
"Okay, okay!" As soon as the shopkeeper saw the business coming to the door, he was excited.
The proprietress next to him slammed him with her elbow, and the shopkeeper came to his senses, stared at him hurriedly, and asked, "Why do you buy so much?" Can't you eat here? ”
"Hey, I said that you care so much, my family has a large population, the old and the young, it is inconvenient to come out."
"Inconvenient? Why don't you start a gang at home, from out of town? Lu Yin took it out and I'll take a look. ”
Diagonally, smoke had just risen from the chimney of a house, and a few poor people like tigers broke into the door: "How many people are there in the family?" All come out, all come out, check! One, two, three, four, Liu Jian, went to look inside the pot and cooked a few people's meals! ”
The inspection at the gate of the city has become more severe, and the people who have left the city have formed a long line, and all kinds of cars, whether they are driven by nobles, or grain trucks, have been climbed up and turned over from the inside out, and there are many spies in the crowd who are dangling around, and as soon as they see a suspicious-looking person, they immediately pounce on them and control the people first.
In the Jinyi Guard's yamen, Luo Yishi said coldly: "Now that I have the holy oracle in my hand, I can't enter someone's door?" What kind of people I can't catch? Tell the people of Ying Tianfu and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, I will take care of anything, search for me, and turn the entire Jinling City upside down for me. With the method of sitting together, I forced the people of the city to be my eyes and ears, even if they were hidden deep under the nine lands, I could force them out. ”
"Yes!"
Chen Dong agreed and hurriedly walked out.
Luo Kedi picked up the tea and looked at Ye An again: "Those city fox society rats ...... them", "Don't worry, those pimply bastards, how can the people of Ying Tianfu and the Five Cities Terracotta Division not know, they usually don't pay attention to them, and now, we are forced to beat them, and these people are also moving, and the corners of the walls, the cracks in the gutters and other places that we can't sweep are all their ears and eyes, and Yang Xu is difficult for them to survive in this kind of place." ”
"Well, we've all withdrawn?"
Ye An said: "Yes, the people on the bright side, as well as the power in the dark, have all been used this time." ”
Luo Kedi smiled faintly and brought the cup to his mouth, Ye An saw this and retreated knowingly.
Liu Yujue was a little restless on the side, but this time Lord Luo just didn't need him to come forward, he knew what the adult was worried about" secretly glanced at the adult's face, and finally didn't dare to say anything about the automatic invitation.
Luo Kedi was not at all embarrassed by Xia Xun's escape, on the contrary, he was a little happy now.
Early this morning, he entered the palace to report to the emperor the whole story of Yang Xu's escape, "and added fuel and vinegar, describing the energy that Xia Xun has is even more amazing, he doesn't want to shirk the responsibility for the Qin prisoner to escape under his nose, he just wants the emperor to know that King Yan's people have reached the point where they can call for wind and rain in Jinling City."
Sure enough, the emperor was shocked, "Bachelor Fang was also shocked, they were finally willing to let go of power."
The "court" finally knew how foolish it was to lack a powerful ear and eye! ”
It's nice to be in power!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Even if the waves at sea can overturn a 10,000-ton ship, the bottom of the sea is calm.
No matter how huge the energy of Jinyiwei is, can it really turn a capital city upside down? Answer: No! With the capabilities of modern law enforcement agencies, it is impossible to clear all the corners of a city, let alone that era.
However, Luo Kedi not only mobilized the power of the government, the power of the underworld, and even used the deterrent power of the whole city to turn the people of the whole city into his eyes and ears, which is something that modern law enforcement agencies can't do, so there are very few corners that his tiger power can't sweep.
There are very few, and that is what there is, for example, the incense room.
The incense delivery room can not be found in the records of the twelve eunuchs, four divisions, and eight bureaus of the Daming Imperial Palace, a total of 24 yamen, it does not have an official organization name at all, but only a place listed under the Huanyi Bureau, the Huanyi Bureau is the institution of the eunuchs who are not located in the palace in the 24 yamen, and the incense delivery room is of course also outside the palace.
The incense delivery room is responsible for thousands of toilets in the palace, and toilets are used in the palace, including bedpans, gong buckets, etc., and there is no special toilet, how can such a smelly place be set up in the palace. As a result, there are thousands of toilets that need to be cleaned every day, and these toilets are collected by the incense delivery room every day, transported out of Jinling City, cleaned, and then distributed back to all corners of the palace.
The bedpan is filled with charcoal ash, specially prepared for stool, just cover it with charcoal ash after untying your hands, and use a gong bucket to untie it directly in it, and then cover it with a lid. The toilets used by the emperor and the concubines are called "official rooms", also called "tigers", "beasts", and "horses", and the toilets of the rest of the inferior people are called "bedpans".
Of course, the "official room" is very particular, generally made of wood, tin or porcelain, with a wooden frame on the side, an oval mouth on the frame, and then lined with soft cushions around it, with a lid on the mouth, the bedpan can be pulled like a drawer, and the stool has a backrest and is covered with a soft lining, just like a sofa without armrests now, sitting on it, is not worse than the current toilet.
The most valuable "official room" is the end of the five generations of Shu King Yu Chang's, inlaid with gold and jade, gorgeous, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin wiped out the Shu Kingdom, got this thing and thought it was a precious utensil, if it wasn't for Mrs. Huā Rui to tell its origin, Lao Zhao happily put it on his dragon book case as an ornament.
However, no matter how precious it is, it is a defecation and an unclean thing after all, so the incense delivery room cannot be set up in the palace. This place was on the west side of the palace, in a very remote place, and the people who lived in the courtyard of the incense delivery house were old and ungrateful eunuchs or guilty eunuchs, and they were like a group of people who had been isolated and forgotten by the world, and they would never be humanized, although they were indispensable people in the palace every day.
So is there really only old and guilty eunuchs in this place, and no one else? The official version goes like this. In fact, just like some of our current regular employees of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, who receive a salary of two or three thousand yuan a month, huā eight hundred yuan to hire someone, wear his uniform to clean the road section he is responsible for, and play mahjong at home or find another errand job, there is also a group of people at the bottom of the palace who are at the bottom of these eunuchs, working hard for them, most of these people are poor people who have no livelihood and have no success in castrating into the palace.
Therefore, although they do the most tiring and dirty work, in fact, they don't even have much salary, they can only eat by mouth, and the only thing they have the same treatment is that these people are also called fathers-in-law.
Not long ago, they had two more partners, one was still strong, the other was as weak as a chick, the strong one was called Grandpa Xia, and the thin one was called Grandpa Xu......! ~!
