Chapter 106: Theft
Lin'an Mansion is located in the south of the city, backed by the Fuxue, the left neighbor of the teaching field, from the Qingbo Gate not far away out of the city is the shore of the West Lake.
Since the prefect is also the pacification envoy of western Zhejiang, the government is also in the same place with the pacification department, occupying most of the city, which is still insufficient. Therefore, the government prison was set up at the foot of Wu Mountain, adjacent to the camp of the forbidden army, which also implies the meaning of being perfect on the side.
As the capital and the foot of the Son of Heaven, the security in the palace has always been good, the huge prison often seems very empty, and there are few thieves or vicious criminals in it, most of them are just petty theft and the like.
And since the victory ceremony of the Battle of Jiankang, the defense here has suddenly been strengthened, and I don't know when the jailer is no longer the official of the palace, but the heavily armed imperial camp.
Next to the Zhonghe Fang, a small room on the second floor of a wine shop on the street, you can see the opposite scene from the window, including the gate of the government prison.
At this time, a young man dressed in rich clothes was drinking in the building, he was holding a cup, the table was full of dishes, but his eyes were always staring outside, and two tall and strong slaves stood behind him, their eyes looking around vigilantly.
From his point of view, on the other side of the street, at the gate of the prison, a man was trying to say something to the sergeant guarding the door, and after a while, a military academy came out from behind the door, and the two were very close, and the man stuffed something over, but was pushed back by the military school.
The young man shook his head, turned around and drank the wine in his hand, and the slave next to him immediately filled it for him.
"Da Lang, the man is back." After a while, someone outside the door came in and reported to him.
The man who came in afterwards was dressed in a long gown and looked like a tent man, with a package in his arms and a somewhat depressed expression.
"How?" The young man seemed to have thought of the outcome, and he didn't look angry.
"I only saw a small leader, not even a hundred households, I wanted to use the money to let him help build a line, but I just said no, depending on the situation, the Song people are quite careful, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see."
The man seemed to have some status, and the young man nodded for him to sit down, and he placed the package in his hand on the table, making a crisp sound of metal crashing.
"Da Lang, we don't have a foundation here, even if we have money in our hands, we can't use it. These days, I have been dotting everywhere, and I haven't even been able to enter that gate, according to so-and-so, it's really not good, it's better "
"I don't know, but Lian Shangshu is not also locked up in the post station, the peace talks have not started yet, they are not free, and their whereabouts are only afraid that they will be monitored by the Song people everywhere, and it is not time to go to find them now."
The young man stood up with his glass of wine, walked to the open window, and looked in that direction with a gloomy look, his father was behind the gate, no more than a hundred and ten paces away, and he was really a little unwilling.
But what can be done, this is the Jingshi of the Great Song Dynasty, the name of the family is useless, just an unknown little person can make it difficult for them to move an inch, if it is placed in the north, who would dare?
"But I heard what the little colonel said, they are all serious offenders, and they don't dare to slack off, they eat and drink enough, and once they are ill, they will invite Langzhong, and they should be fine if they want to come to Wanhu."
The comforting words from behind him failed to relieve his troubles a little, and he really wanted to rush in with his troops and burn it clean before he could vent his hatred. He raised his head and drank the wine in his hand violently, and a burning sensation rushed up, and even his eyes were stained red.
In the house of Xingqingfang, Jing Niang woke up leisurely and found that she was sleeping in the position of her husband on the big bed, only wearing a small coat, and she didn't know who changed it.
The floor in front of the bed had been cleaned, there was no trace of filth, and the air was filled with the scent of orchids, which was exactly the kind I liked the most.
Jing Niang found a middle coat and put it on, thinking about calling someone to wait, but just a few steps away, there was a sound. Stood still and listened carefully, but it was from the husband, the rough wheezing sound, isn't it the kind that lingers in her ears when she is confused, she is already too familiar to be familiar with it, Jing Niang is a little overwhelmed, do you want to go back to bed and continue to pretend to sleep?
"How much longer?" Suddenly, I heard my husband say something.
"Soon, two more points." The woman's voice should have been made by listening to the tide, and her tone was flat and bland, without the slightest emotion~ desire, which made her wonder.
Tiptoeing over to take a look, Jing Niang leaned against the door frame and smiled to herself, her husband was pushing something, her feet were up and down, leaning forward, holding a semicircular curved handle in both hands, and her mouth was panting, which was what she had just heard.
And that thing was suspended in the air by the shelf, the front and rear wheels were turning rapidly, the husband used his strength in a circle, and his breath became bigger and bigger, as if he was about to lose his support, and the listening tide on the side stared nervously at something in his hand, and looked up from time to time.
"Alright, the hour has come." After a moment, Tingchao snorted softly, feeling even more tired than her husband.
Liu Yu stopped his movements, sat up straight and let out a long breath, he hadn't exercised like this for a long time, and it was still a little difficult to come suddenly, but fortunately, the timing was not long, only a quarter of an hour, and he still persevered.
"I'll come, you go get a basin of hot water." Hearing his little wife's voice, he turned his head to look at it and took the cotton towel she handed over.
"What is this?" Jing Niang touched the metal handle, there was a layer of fine graininess on it, the husband sat on a triangular seat, wearing a strange dress, the upper body is a bit like a short side, but there is no tie, and the lower body is like a profane pants cut off in half, how weird and weird.
"'Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums', how about it? Like not. ”
Liu Yu originally wanted to get a treadmill, but the game used electricity, and the amount of electricity was not small, so he couldn't build a power station here. So in the end, I chose this kind of indoor exercise bike, and the effect was not bad after trying it, and after more than ten minutes, I was tired and sweaty.
If you want to say that it looks like a horse, it really is a little bit, Jing Niang nodded with a smile, she already understands the purpose of this thing, it is for people to practice, she can think of such a method, and she doesn't know where her husband got it.
"In the future, in addition to practice, you must also be familiar with this thing, and you will be like a husband, a quarter of an hour a day." Liu Yu's words surprised her a little, she wants to be like just now?
"But don't worry, as long as you're at home, your husband will practice like you." After speaking, Liu Yu jumped down from above, and then hugged his little wife, and sat so high that she was startled, but fortunately, she was supported by her husband, and she was not afraid of falling.
"Yes, that's it, clench your hands, push your feet, and take your time." This is much simpler to use than aerobics, that is, the posture is set and then forced.
Liu Yu helped her adjust to low resistance, so that she wouldn't have to work as hard as she had just now. Jing Niang stepped on it a few laps and found that it was actually very easy, so she happily stepped faster and faster.
"I'm just learning today, and let's start tomorrow after changing my clothes." After a while, her forehead was already sweating, and Liu Yu gently patted her body and motioned her to slow down.
"Husband, are you worried about changes in the future?" Jing Niang and Liu Yu sitting on the shelf are about the same height, and it is easier for the two of them to talk like this.
"Do you remember what you said to me before you got married?" Liu Yu glanced at her appreciatively, he was not so smart at this age.
"Where the king goes, where the concubine goes." Jing Niang blurted out without even thinking about it.
"Well, the road will be difficult and dangerous in the future, you have to keep up, and you have to practice more now."
He didn't know what was going to happen, but his little wife was too delicate now and had to find a way to make her stronger. Jing Niang was silent when she heard this, but nodded solemnly.
"Lang Jun, Da Lang has just come to visit, and the people have already arrived in the front yard." Tingchao walked in with a basin of hot water, at this time, Ye Yingji must have come to have something.
"How is Da Lang's face, but he is panicked?" Exchanging a look with Jing Niang, Liu Yu asked while wiping his body.
Hearing the tide and shook his head, Liu Yu was slightly relieved, for fear that his uncle would wait for a long time, he hurried to freshen up, entered the house and changed into regular clothes, and hurriedly went out.
"What, the armoryman stolen?" Hearing his words, Liu Yu was a little surprised, what surprised him was not the theft itself, but such a thing, why did he run to sue him.
"What's missing?" Yang Xingqian on the side asked.
When Ye Yingji explained it in detail, they learned that the thieves did not move anywhere else, but only stole some of the ordnance patterns hidden in the prison, all of which were newly made in recent years, and some of them were just drawings and were not used for actual manufacturing.
The three of them looked at each other, and reacted in an instant, the thief has a clear goal and moves quickly, and he is stealing this kind of thing, so there is only one possibility!
"Has this happened before?" Liu Yu thought for a while and asked.
"I haven't heard of it, at least in the past few years of being in the ordnance prison, it hasn't happened." Ye Yingji shook his head.
That's right, it's still the battle of Jiankang, the Tartars can't find it in Jiankang City, so they can only hit the idea to Jingshi, which is the center of the Great Song Dynasty, if there is no one here, then it can't explain the matter of Jiankang.
"Is there a catapult or something like that?"
"Yes, it's just the kind of stone cannon used by the Tartars, which was used when Jiankang was in good health."
It turned out that the Great Song Dynasty had also imitated the "Huihui Cannon", but there were not many of them, except for a few samples from the Jingshi side, which had never been seen elsewhere.
So there is nothing to worry about, Liu Yu is thinking that if the pattern is transmitted to Dadu, Kublai Khan will see it, will he think that it is an enlarged version of the "return cannon", but how big it has to be, thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile slightly. R1058
