【0503 The Race of Time and Time】

Because the president's guard and the escort team don't have many fried mushrooms, these three packs of fried mushrooms are all the quantities around them, so they are all used this time!

The statistical agency agent in charge of the blast examined the lead.

Connect the three leads of the fried buns together and extend a long lead! Make sure to give him at least a minute or so to get back to the side of the boat, to the bow or stern!

Because only the bow and stern of the ship, the farthest place from the explosion point, as long as you can hold on to a fixed object, when the explosion will occur, can you increase the possibility of escape!

Everything was ready, and the agent in charge of the demolition did not hesitate at all, and quickly lit the fuse!

The lead zilazila began to burn.

The Census agent in charge of the blast quickly got up and got out of the bilge as fast as he could! Like a cat, he came out of the opening just now.

Everything went smoothly!

But just as he closed the lid with his foot, a voice came.

"What for!?"

The agent of the Statistics Office in charge of the blasting was shocked, and when he saw it, a figure in the darkness, holding a lantern in his hand, was particularly terrifying!

"Oh, can't sleep, see if there's anything to eat?" Although extremely anxious, the statistical agency agent in charge of the blast tried to calm himself!

As long as you fool this person, there is still time to return to a safe position on the side of the ship!

This person is a leader, although he is not one of the 9 ship owners, but he is similar to the second-in-command, and it is not so easy to be mixed up with a casual word!

The man then asked, "Which ship boss are you with?" ”

"Boss Wang!" The agent in charge of the demolition was still calm, his tone was calm, but his heart felt like he was on fire! As time passed, his chances of survival became less and less!

"Boss Wang? I seem to know all the people in Boss Wang, why haven't I seen you? Where is there anything to eat here? What are you going to do here on this big night? The man became suspicious.

The agents of the Statistics Department in charge of the blasting are running out of work! No more nonsense, while smiling, perfunctory: "Don't do anything." He walked toward the man.

The DSS agent in charge of the demolition did not have any weapons in his hands, and planned to defeat the enemy empty-handed!

"What are you doing. Stop...... "What else is the man going to say?"

The agents of the Statistics Bureau in charge of the blasting walked over in three or two steps, and went up to lock the throat and kill the move!

The other party instinctively fights back!

In fact, there is not much difference between the martial arts of the two people, and the agent of the Statistics Bureau who is in charge of the blasting is not a senior agent, and the statistics bureau assesses the ranks of agents as senior, intermediate, and junior, which is not based on martial arts, but mainly on merit.

However, although the martial arts are not much different, the agents of the Statistics Office have a common characteristic, that is, ruthlessness! In particular, the agents of the Statistics Office in charge of the blasting knew how long the impression had been burning, and it was now a close shot, and if he didn't run out of this cabin, he would definitely die! So start harder!

The person who passively fought back was not so ruthless, he blocked it, but he didn't block it, he was punched in the throat, and the lantern immediately fell to the ground, and the whole person also retreated.

The agent of the Statistics Department in charge of the blast made a move, and it was another kick in the heart to keep up! Right in the other person's chest!

Under the heavy blows of the fallen man, he could not make a sound, and he had no ability to resist.

The agents of the Statistics Bureau in charge of the blasting didn't dare to linger or anything, and hurriedly rushed out of the cabin, and at this time, they didn't care about being exposed.

Because there is no fear of exposure, the fuse has already been ignited, and when the ship explodes, what does it matter if it is exposed or not?

The reason why he was perfunctory with the person he was fighting with just now was because he was afraid that the other party would notice that he had done something in the bilge for the first time, and he was also afraid that there were still people around the other party!

After delaying for nearly twenty seconds, he was sure that the other party had no helpers, only one person, and even if he found that there was an explosion in the bilge now, it was too late to stop it, so he blatantly took action.

The Statistical Office agent in charge of the blast rushed out of the cabin! Rushing to the stern of the ship under the surprised gazes of several ship bosses, to hold on to the stern mast!

"What for?"

"Who?"

Several ship bosses asked vigilantly.

But the babbling of several ship bosses did not fall, and the explosion happened!

Bang bang!

The whole ship slammed!

It jumped violently on the surface of the water like a high jump!

The level of explosives in Weijiazhuang during this period was limited, and at most it blew through a hole in the bilge floor, without the power to tear the hull!

However, the combustion performance is good, and there are a lot of thatch-like flammable materials underneath, and the vibration effect after the explosion is also very good.

This huge power made everyone on the ship unresponsive and unconscious at that moment, and could only bear it instinctively!

At the time of the explosion, what the individual looked like was basically the end.

The person who was lying down and sleeping was better, but the person who was sitting must have lost his balance and rushed his head to the hard object with the shock.

Lying people are generally thrown up horizontally because their bodies are in a horizontal position, and their bodies are soft, with a cushion, and if they hit hard objects directly, the force will be smaller than that of sitting people.

For example, the two agents of the Statistics Bureau on the ship, because they were mentally prepared, grabbed the fixed object in advance, and they were both in the bow and stern of the ship, and the most principled explosion point was at the location of the explosion, and the impact would be smaller. And when the explosion occurred at the first time, their whole people flew out and fell directly into the water!

The people on the boat don't know the true face of Lushan, only because they are in this mountain.

Everyone on Wei Bao's side of the ship, because they knew what was about to happen, waited with wide eyes, and saw the shocking scene of the hull explosion for the first time.

I saw the light of the fire rushing out from all over the hull, because no matter how tight the wood was, there were always some gaps, and the red air waves could highlight such gaps.

In particular, the upward rushing red air wave rushed out of a circular circle of 30 meters, illuminating this piece of water surface in purple and red, which was much more gorgeous than the effect of fireworks.

"They're starting to do it!" Wu Xuexia, who was beside Wei Bao, hugged her mouth in surprise, looked at all this in surprise, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of fried rice do you use?" How can it be so powerful? ”

Wei Bao didn't answer Wu Xuexia's words, and watched all this quietly.

With the order of the captain of President Wei's personal guard, the side of the big ship that President Wei was riding was full of non-commissioned officers of the escort team, all armed with crossbow arrows and long knives, and these people were responsible for killing everyone after the fire and the ship sank.

The two DSS agents on the mission were already in the water and began to paddle back!

They have pre-prepared red and yellow turbans, which are easy to identify because the colors are very different and cannot be identical.

"Pull them up!" The captain of President Wei's personal guard team saw the two agents and hurriedly said, "They are their own people. ”

Immediately, a rope ladder was lowered, and the two agents returned unharmed.

Wei Bao breathed a sigh of relief, originally thought that these two people must be more than lucky, at least one of them would die, but he didn't expect that they would all come back, and he was very relieved.

This is not making a movie or a TV series, people can dive, but at most, the most extreme, that is, holding their breath underwater for five or six minutes, desperately, the limit is seven or eight minutes.

What kind of white stripes in the waves, three days and three nights underwater without exhalation, that is written by ancient people.

Therefore, President Wei's big ship docked and sent more than a dozen cavalry to guard along the coast, and the range that could be controlled could reach thousands of meters!

No matter how powerful a sailor is, no matter how breath-holding he is, he can't go beyond this range.

As the fire on the burning ship continued to grow, the water leakage was serious, and the big ship was not only sinking, but also burning more and more, so that the people on board had to jump into the water to escape.

Whether or not they thought that it was the big ship next to them that set the fire, they had to jump into the water and had no choice.

President Wei's big boat is like a big shark that eats people, and anyone who swims near the big boat will definitely die. Long knives are almost useless, and they mainly rely on crossbow arrows, whether they are crossbow arrows used by the agents of the Statistics Bureau or the crossbow arrows of the escort team, they are all fed with hydride and are highly poisonous, and they will die when they touch it, without any suspense.

At this time, the two ship bosses who were lucky enough to fall into the water and were still alive who refused to give in, and more than 30 sailors who refused to give in before they died, they didn't know what was going on, they were really stupid!

"You unfaithful, treacherous brutes! Heaven and earth will not be a thing! You brutes! ”

"Brute! Brute! A thousand cuts, damn brute! ”

"I have entered the eighteenth generation of your ancestors! Damn, straight! ”

These dozens of people shouted in the water.

President Wei, the captain of the personal guard, immediately ordered the big ship to come up and kill people.

When these men saw the big boat approaching, they hurried to dive.

Although they were shocked just now, their water nature is very good, and it is not normal for people who make a living from the sea to have bad water quality.

There was no one in sight for a moment, and the big ship couldn't kill anyone when it came up.

More than a dozen cavalrymen on the border of the shore widened their eyes, and the president gave a death order, and they were absolutely not allowed to let anyone go!

It is necessary to wait for a stick of incense before you can conclude that everyone is dead.

Wu Xuexia was a little bored to watch, she didn't like to watch murderers, and said softly to Wei Bao: "I won't watch it, go back to sleep." How long will it take? ”

Wei Bao shook his head, he didn't know, in ancient times, it was trouble, it was all this kind of big boat that relied on people to row water, if it was a motorboat or something, one back and forth, it could sweep away all these people who fell into the water.

"After killing these people, shall we go after the fleet?" Wu Xuexia asked.

Wei Bao nodded: "What?" Do you want to go back to Liaoxi first? I'll have someone send you to Tianjin Wei to find your brother now, and it's still too late. ”

"If you don't go, you want to drive me away? Didn't I say it all? It's right there for you. I'll go wherever you go. Wu Xuexia pouted, then ignored Wei Bao and went into the cabin.

Wei Bao's heart warmed, and in this cold killing moment, he suddenly felt a trace of warmth. How can you be so favored by many beauties now?

If you want to say that you have accumulated virtue in your last life, you were a modern person in your last life, and you haven't done many good things, right? At most, if you encounter someone who asks for food, give a few dollars, usually see water droplets on the Internet asking for help, all of them are cases where the patients who see a doctor have no money for treatment, Wei Bao sees this situation, he will give a few dozen yuan, a hundred yuan like this, and donate a few thousand yuan one after another.

But this is nothing, and the benefits of coming to ancient times are incomparable.

Wei Bao still knows how to be grateful and knows how to cherish his current life.

"I don't look at it either! What to do, they themselves know. Wei Bao followed behind Wu Xuexia and whispered.

Wu Xuexia was about to enter her cabin, but when she heard this, she stopped and looked at Wei Bao and smiled.

Wei Bao was laughed at by Wu Xuexia, and the nerves of laughter jumped, and immediately caused an impulse! Although I didn't sleep all night, I was dizzy, but I seemed to be very excited, and there was an evil fire bomb that couldn't be suppressed!

Wei Baosan walked over in two steps, grabbed Wu Xuexia's wrist, pulled her into her cabin, and then closed the door.

When Xiang'er and Wang Qiuya saw this scene, their hearts were sour at the same time, but they seemed to take it for granted, anyway, neither of them said anything.

After Wei Bao entered the door, Wu Xuexia looked at Wei Bao in a panic, not knowing what he was going to do.

Although staying by Wei Bao's side, he was already mentally prepared to be taken advantage of by this guy, but Wu Xuexia once said to Wei Bao that she hoped that he could wait until Ming Media was marrying him.

Wei Bao hugged Wu Xuexia tightly, pressed Wu Xuexia on the door panel, and didn't do anything, just hugged it, smelling the fragrance of Wu Xuexia's body fiercely.

Wu Xuexia didn't know where to put her two hands, she wanted to hold Wei Bao back, but she was a little embarrassed, and she didn't think about pushing Wei Bao away, just quietly being a small tree, but Wu Xuexia was sweet in her heart.

"What's wrong? Is it impossible to kill people? I know you have no choice, if you don't kill these people, I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy! Once this kind of thing leaks a little bit of rumors and exposes Lin Wenbiao's triangular north depression where they are hiding in advance, it will be very troublesome. There's nothing you can do. "Wu Xuexia is very empathetic and can understand Wei Bao's intentions.

Wei Bao hummed softly: "Let's sleep together, shall we?" ”

Wu Xuexia's face suddenly turned red with shame, and she squirmed softly: "Didn't you promise me?" What do you want to do? I'll let you kiss my face, and you'll go to sleep, okay? ”

"I don't do anything, I just want to sleep with you!" Wei Bao said firmly.

Wu Xuexiafang's heart was pounding, and she didn't know how to respond, so she slowed down and said softly: "Then I'll help you wash up, right?" You go to bed and sit and wait. ”

Wei Bao snorted and let go of Wu Xuexia, I don't know why, I want to be with Wu Xuexia today, and I want Miss Wu, who was once invincible and didn't put herself as a township boy in her eyes at all, to serve her.

Sure enough, people who have no money and no power, after making a fortune, are more or less perverted.

And Wei Bao doesn't feel like he's made a fortune now.

After another half an hour, when no more shouts and curses were heard outside, the people of the escort got rid of all the unyielding ship bosses and sailors, set sail again, and began to chase the 52 big ships!

The 52 ships were loaded with more than 160 agents of the Statistics Bureau, as well as more than 1,600 ship bosses and sailors who were willing to cooperate with the operation! Their destination was to enter the Wei River, then enter the Triangle Lake, and then arrive at the North Depression of the Triangle Lake to pick up Lin Wenbiao's brigade of more than 1,300 carriages.

At this time, Lin Wenbiao's men and horses had already joined forces with the remnants of more than 30 people led by Madman Tan.

They hid in a group of dry reeds in the northern depression of the triangle.

Xu Xianchun of Jinyiwei couldn't imagine that the thieves were hiding in Triangle Lake, so he didn't expand the search scope here, but sent by him, several teams to search for the place where Jinyiwei's hundred-man team disappeared, and searched for this large area in the direction of Hejian Mansion.

But even so, the more than 400 Jinyi guards under Xu Xianchun did not really search, and in the four districts that Xu Xianchun divided into them, they looked for a town, hid in the town, and did not come out at all, but urged the Lizheng in each township, and the local health office, and the county government sent officials to go out to find the situation.

They didn't say anything specific.

Otherwise, although Xu Xianchun didn't know that the thieves' brigade had gone to the triangle lake, the triangle lake was full of dense reeds.

There is no problem with a few taels, a dozen, or even dozens of carriages hidden in the reeds, but more than 1,300 carriages, how huge must they be? It is impossible to completely hide from the eyes of the nearby villagers!

If Jin Yiwei issued sea fishing documents everywhere at the first time, issued wanted notices everywhere, and coupled with a high reward, there must have been villagers to report the anomaly of a large number of carriages coming to this area.

Unfortunately, it didn't.

But even so, Lin Wenbiao, Madman Tan and others were hiding in the north depression of the triangle, and they were still very confused! They are by no means afraid of death, they are afraid that the Jinyi Guard will find them and the operation will fail!

It stands to reason that the people sent by Xu Xianchun to the imperial court and ask for help from the capital have been there for more than a day, and the top and bottom of the imperial court, as well as the senior officials of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, as well as Wei Zhongxian, are all aware of the current situation, and the reinforcements should have arrived a long time ago.

If tens of thousands of horse infantry come and search in a large area, even if the sea fishing documents are not issued, it will greatly increase the danger of Lin Wenbiao's brigade of men and horses hiding.

But the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty was really low and scary, and such a big thing happened, and the imperial court did not announce the truth to the public as soon as possible.

A group of shareholders of all sizes in the Jin Merchants are crazy, looking for people everywhere to entrust the relationship, and ask the imperial court to increase its efforts to investigate thoroughly!

Moreover, among the shareholders of the Jin merchants, there are many members of the Donglin Party and the leaders of the Eunuch Party, and a group of eunuchs can also get dry shares, even so, the order to thoroughly investigate the robbery case has not been issued so far.

It's a battle of time!

It's not that Wei Zhongxian is not in a hurry to send someone to investigate the case, and he is not in a hurry to send a large number of reinforcements to search, but he is worried that if he can't find out what the result is, he will shoot himself in the foot!

Wei Zhongxian is now the de facto operator of the Ming Empire! The way he considered the problem was already on behalf of the emperor and the imperial court.

If a large number of people are blatantly sent to investigate, it is equivalent to completely clearing the suspicion that the Donglin Party colluded with thieves to sabotage, and there were people inside the Jin Merchants who were engaged in ghosts, and their own people were involved in their own people!

At that time, if you can't find out the reason, this black cauldron will have to be carried by Jinyiwei, and such a big thing will be completely blamed on the head of Shuntianfu, which is unjustifiable.

It can only be said that Wei Zhongxian also has Wei Zhongxian's difficulties.

According to the information they got, it is impossible for anyone from the Donglin Party ministers to participate in this kind of robber Jin Shang matter, so they feel that such a big thing has happened, which is caused by the eunuch party making waves and making the Beijing master a miasma! Naturally, it is required to be quick and strict, immediately investigate thoroughly to the end, and give an explanation to the people of the world!

In front of the palace gate, a group of ministers were waiting to see Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, and they had been waiting for several hours, and among them were all ministers of the Donglin Party.

Although Wei Zhongxian was already in power at this time, the scientific research system and officialdom system of the Ming Dynasty determined that no matter how the ministers of the Donglin Party were killed, the number of them would be at least two-thirds, or even more!

The rise of the eunuch party, at most, to suppress the Donglin Party, which is dominated by the ministers of Jiangnan, wants to eradicate it, wants to uproot it, and wants to overthrow it, which is basically impossible.

"Does Your Majesty still refuse to see us?" A Donglin Party minister asked.

The minister who had just come out of the palace gate shook his head: "It is said that Your Majesty is sick!" However, I asked a familiar little father-in-law, what is wrong with Your Majesty? I'm busy doing this, and I don't have the time to meet the minister! ”

The minister spoke, gesturing the movements of sawing wood and doing carpentry work.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse is a professional carpenter, not only known to courtiers, but even known to the whole world, because Zhu Youxiao often sends eunuchs to collect fresh and exquisite woodworking products in the world, and when he is whimsical, he will also reward some of his own 'works' to ministers or relatives.

It is difficult to say how many places Zhu Youxiao's ability to be an emperor can be ranked in the list of emperors in history, and he is definitely the first in the list of emperors in the past and present.

When a group of Donglin Party ministers heard this, they sighed one after another, they all looked worried about the country and the people, but in fact, they were all worried about the gold, silver and antique treasures they deposited in the Jin merchants!

In this era, there are things stored at home, naturally there is no ticket number, the poor or small businessmen, will store things in pawnshops, these things of dignitaries and nobles, naturally will not be placed in pawnshops, and it is not good to say, so they are generally placed in the ticket number.

"Wei Zhongxian is really getting more and more excessive! How can you not explain it to Your Majesty when such a big thing has happened? Such a big robbery happened in the capital, this is the dynasty that disturbs the entire Ming Dynasty! A Imperial Doctor said angrily. His voice is not small.

A group of imperial historians and courtiers around this imperial historian hurriedly stopped him, asked him to speak quietly, and said that he had ears on the partition wall, besides, what kind of place is this? This is the gate of the palace! There are people from the East Factory everywhere, and what is the wall? Beside him is the service of the East Factory. When it reaches Wei Zhongxian's ears, he is going to lose his head.

That Yushi is also a Dazi, and his temperament is very upright, but he still refuses to whisper: "What am I afraid of?" I eat the food of the imperial court, and I receive the grace of His Majesty! Naturally, I must fulfill my duties, do my duty as the imperial history, point out the incorrectness of the court, and report it to Your Majesty, hum! I'm going to write to impeach Wei Gelding! ”

A group of ministers were shocked when they heard this, and secretly thought that this Dazi was dying, some of them stood away, and did not dare to get too close to this imperial historian, and some of them whispered applause, but they did not dare to openly support it.

These people have different mentalities, hoping that there will be such upright people to confront the eunuchs head-on, but they are also afraid of being burned.

"Lord Lu, be quiet! There is such a big thing, and several important ministers in the cabinet do not come out, which is really chilling! A Donglin Party minister said softly.

Lord Yushilu snorted, still loud: "I'm not afraid!" The current cabinet ministers, except for Han Yi who is more neutral, and Sun Chengzong who is more neutral, and who are not completely in favor of the eunuchs, which one is not Wei Gelding's lackey? Even the newly named Shoufu Ye Xianggao, in my opinion, is also Wei Biao's person! Don't count on these people! If you count on them, the Ming Dynasty will destroy the country! ”

The Ming cabinet is generally seven or eight ministers, sometimes there will be a little more, and sometimes, there will be a little less.

In short, he hovered between seven and 12 ministers.

The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty still plays a great role!

Because Daming has a voting system.

The voting system was an important system for central decision-making in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty system, the chapter of the bureaucracy of the outer court was first submitted to the emperor by the General Administration Department, and then sent to the Wenyuan Pavilion, and the cabinet scholars drafted the content of the reply in the emperor's tone, pasted it on the original note with ink letters, and presented it to the emperor.

Because it is drafted with ink letters, it is called ticket drafting. After the vote is submitted to the emperor's imperial review, if the emperor agrees with the cabinet's opinion, he will use a red pen to approve it and then send it out for execution (after the Xuande Dynasty, this power is transferred to the celebrant supervisor), and if it does not agree, it will be sent back to the cabinet for a new vote.

In addition, the emperor can also put this performance under pressure, neither send it down nor send it back to the cabinet, but do cold treatment, which is called Liuzhong.

The vote system was formed in the Xuande period of Xuanzong, but the vote was not customized in the early days of Xuande.

Xuanzong only appointed important ministers as advisers to the emperor and participated in decision-making in the form of votes, but this power was not exclusive to the cabinet, and non-cabinet ministers could also participate, such as Xia Yuanji, Jianyi, etc., that is, they were not cabinet ministers and participated in votes.

However, the three most important and trusted ministers of the Xuande Dynasty are the three Yang of the cabinet: Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu.

It was during the Orthodox years that the ticket system became customized. The orthodox emperor of Yingzong ascended the throne at the age of nine, the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, the emperor often consulted the queen mother in trouble, and the empress dowager Zhang was known as a virtuous name, in order to avoid the harem to interfere in politics, the queen mother avoided the dictatorship, and made the cabinet ministers discuss it. Since then, the position of the cabinet minister to hold the vote has become a rule.

When the cabinet voting system was just finalized, it was still "with the Yin Xiegong", that is, all cabinet ministers negotiated and handled.

It was not until the Hongzhi and Zhengde years that the status of the first assistant rose significantly, and the cabinet ministers voted to "start with the pen of the first person, and the hope of the place was suspended from the second", so it was later called the first assistant of the cabinet.

Hearing that this Lord Lu even said the words of the country, he was so frightened that a group of Donglin Party ministers took a few steps back and tried to stay away from him, secretly thinking that this Lord Lu was really okay. It's not going to kill you, is it?
