Volume 1 Young and frivolous and fighting with swords Chapter 123 Ask Fang An

Luo Sigong heard the report of his subordinates, and his heart was also nervous, if one of these thousands of catties of gunpowder was accidentally exploded, it would be enough to raze half of Liuli Alley, and it would be a loss to the three dogs who slept calmly on a powder magazine every day to do business, with this mentality, let alone scare him with the edict, I am afraid that even if he is late, he will not change his face.

Luo Sigong entered the shop and commanded a group of subordinates to carefully carry gunpowder outward, until all the gunpowder in the underground warehouse was moved, Luo Sigong counted, fifty catties of clay pots, more than fifty jars.

In addition to gunpowder, there were not many firearms, only twelve rods.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the rows of gunpowder placed outside the carriage and thought to himself, this is probably the biggest arms smuggling case in the Ming Dynasty in this era.

Until all the firearms were moved, Luo Sigong didn't move any of the remaining miscellaneous things, and let Luo Yangxing toss inside, after all, if he let people move away, then he could only go to the Beizhen Mansion to confiscate, and Luo Yangxing moved away, so it's hard to say who will belong in the end.

Not long after, Luo Yangxing came out with a bag of things wrapped in whole silk on his shoulder, out of the door of the black market, Luo Yangxing looked at Luo Sigong, looking at Zhu Youzhen's carriage, after thinking about it for a while, he still put the big bag of things on Zhu Youzhen's carriage, after all, he has been eating and living in Zhu Mansion recently, if he takes back Luo's Mansion, these things may not necessarily belong to him.

Luo Yangxing went back and forth in and out of the black market five times, and finally took all the good things in it.

Luo Sigong on the side watched Luo Yangxing put the packed things on Zhu Youzhen's carriage one by one, and couldn't help but be angry, he created such good conditions for him, and he gave them all to Zhu Youzhen without conscience.

Just when Luo Yangxing took the last bag and headed towards Zhu Youzhen's carriage, Luo Sigong couldn't help but speak: "I'm afraid Your Highness's carriage can't be put down, right?" His Highness is wounded, and you are not afraid to remember him. ”

"Luo Yangxing doesn't care about it, it's okay, just wait for me to sit inside."

Seeing that his words couldn't wake up this unenlightened thing, Luo Sigong waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "Seal this place, and transport the things back to the yamen." ”

Then a brocade guard closed the door of the black market and sealed it.

Zhu Youzhen said to Luo Sigong: "Governor Luo, I don't know how much gunpowder was confiscated from the black market this time?" ”

"Your Highness, there are fifty-four cans in total, with a total of two thousand seven hundred catties of gunpowder."

How many cans of gunpowder were brought out, Zhu Youzhen had already counted, and this number was naturally correct, but Zhu Youzhen continued: "It should be fifty cans, right?" In the past few days, I am going to take the people from the government to the lake outside the city to fry fish and cook, and I am short of gunpowder. ”

"Exactly, exactly, a total of fifty cans of gunpowder were paid, totaling two thousand five hundred catties."

After speaking, Luo Sigong quietly approached the window of Zhu Youzhen's carriage and asked softly, "I wonder what His Highness wants these four cans of gunpowder for?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said a little ruthlessly: "Since I know that the old thing is going to kill me, I naturally want to repay him in his own way." ”

When Luo Sigong heard this, he hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Highness, this is not possible, such a big explosion has just happened in the temple fair, if it happens again in broad daylight in the north of the city, I am afraid that this matter will be unfavorable to His Highness, there are so many princes and ministers in Sangonghuai, which will not think about his own comfort, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the heart to protect His Highness, I am afraid."

I'm afraid that I will only have a weak heart. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it, and couldn't help but show a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, if it was really to blow up the Fang Mansion in broad daylight, don't say that the prince can't protect him, that is, whether the prince has the heart to protect him is also a problem.

"Luo Dudu, don't worry, I just went to Fangfu to scare and scare the old man, as long as he was so scared that he didn't dare to go out for a few days, I didn't have the courage to blatantly blow up the first assistant of the dynasty in broad daylight."

Luo Sigong wiped the cold sweat that did not break out on his forehead and said: "That's good, that's good, in this case, there is no need to underreport four cans of gunpowder, when His Royal Highness has finished scaring the Lord Fang, these four cans of gunpowder will naturally be useless, wouldn't it be better to take back the Beizhen Mansion Division at that time?" Placing it there is not only difficult to place, but also dangerous. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while, then nodded and said: "What you said also makes sense, then do as you say, but since this person confessed that it was the steward of the Fang Mansion who bought the white tiger skin, gunpowder, and fire guns, it is better for Luo Dudu to go to the Fang Mansion with me, and directly take the steward of the Fang Mansion back for interrogation, and by the way, also help me bring four cans of gunpowder to the Fang Mansion." ”

Luo Sigong was a little embarrassed, but when he saw Zhu Youzhen like that, he had to nod.

Although Luo Sigong was not afraid of Fang Congzhe, after all, he was the first assistant of the dynasty, and he didn't want to tear his face directly.

As for whether he will dissuade Zhu Youzhen, it is not that he is worried about Zhu Youzhen's comfort, but at such a sensitive time, facing the change of dynasty, Luo Yangxing finally climbed onto a big boat, he didn't want the ship to sink before it docked, not to mention that now Zhu Youzhen is still holding the token of the pro-army capital in his hand.

Luo Sigong arranged for his subordinates to load fifty cans of gunpowder and transport them back to the Yamen of Beizhen Mansion, and the other four cans were loaded into another truck, ready to be sent to Fangfu with Zhu Youzhen.

As for the twelve firearms, Luo Sigong originally wanted to transport them back to the Beizhen Mansion Division with the gunpowder, but Zhu Youzhen saw him and said, "I was trying to hunt in the mountains recently, so why don't you bring me these firecrackers back." ”

Luo Sigong thought about it, these twelve firecrackers have been worn out of the number anyway, even if they are brought back, it is not easy to register, it is destined to be the thing at the bottom of the warehouse, since Zhu Youzhen wants it, he can send him as a favor over there, after all, this firearm is not as powerful as gunpowder, and this young master can't break through too much trouble with these dozen firearms.

Luo Sigong handed over the twelve firearms.

Zhu Youzhen said: "It's filled with gunpowder? ”

"Not yet loaded."

You let people install it first, and I'll have to install it again.

Luo Sigong didn't know what Zhu Youzhen meant, so he ordered someone to take gunpowder and fill the twelve guns with gunpowder one by one.

Zhu Youzhen took the gunpowder guns one by one and put them into the carriage, and then greeted Liu Jifen, who was still there in a daze, and then ordered Gao Sheng to go to Fangfu first.

Jinyiwei's men and horses divided into two routes, one escorting the gunpowder seized from the black market back to the Yamen of Beizhen Mansion, and the other way Luo Sigong escorted the four cans of gunpowder to follow Zhu Youzhen to Fangfu.

Not long after, Zhu Youzhen and Luo Sigong came to the door of Fangfu.

Luo Sigong first asked people to unload the four cans of gunpowder, these four cans of gunpowder are two hundred catties, but it is not child's play, let alone four cans, just one of the cans is not good enough to blow up this group of people to pieces, so Luo Sigong trembled along the way, for fear of a little accident.

So when I arrived at Fangfu,

The first thing Luo Sigong did was to have the gunpowder unloaded.

Zhu Youzhen commanded several brocade guards to put the four cans of gunpowder on both sides of the gate of the Fang Mansion, and then said to Luo Sigong: "Luo Dudu hurry up and call the door, hurry up and take the steward of the Fang Mansion to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible." ”

Listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Luo Sigong nodded a little embarrassed, and Zhu Youzhen's words also meant that he was frightened all the way.

Luo Sigong motioned to one of his subordinates to call the door, and the brocade guard stepped forward and pulled the knocker and smashed it only a few times, then he heard a "squeak", and the door of the Fang Mansion opened from the inside.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw that there were brocade guards standing outside the door, and the porter didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Go, call your housekeeper out, and say that the governor of Pontus himself came to invite him to the Yamen of the Beizhen Mansion for questioning."

The concierge looked at it, and sure enough, it was Luo Dudu of Jinyiwei who came in person, and hurriedly said: "I don't know what happened to labor Luo Dudu to come in person?" ”

"Is this what you should ask?"

The porter said very grovely: "The villain is too talkative, Luo Dudu forgive me, the villain will go and ask the steward to come." ”

This time, the commander of the Jinyi Guard came to fetch people in person, and the porter of this Fang Mansion naturally did not dare to close the door and then enter to call people, so he had to run inside with the door open.

Since he didn't know when Jin Yiwei was looking for Fang to take care of, he first told Fang An about it, and then went to tell Fang Congzhe about it.

When Fang An came to the door of the Fang Mansion alone, although the gatekeeper said that there were many brocade guards outside the door, but when he saw this battle, Fang An was still a little surprised.

Fang An crossed the crowd and saw Luo Sigong standing behind, Fang An saluted Luo Sigong and said, "How dare you bother Luo Dudu to come in person, I don't know what is going on, Luo Dudu sent someone to inform him no?" ”

Luo Sigong didn't look at Fang An, and said: "This time, I'm afraid that this matter can not be solved by the Governor of Pontus to let people come and inform him, and ask Steward Fang to go to the Yamen of the Beizhen Mansion with us." ”

Fang An approached Luo Sigong and asked quietly, "I don't know what Luo Dudu is talking about this time?" ”

Seeing Fang An's inquiry, Luo Sigong didn't hide it, and said directly: "Isn't it clear what Steward Fang has done recently?" ”

Fang An was a little foggy when he heard this, and he didn't remember what he had done recently for a while, he said, "Please also ask Luo Dudu to make it clear." ”

Luo Sigong said: "There is nothing to hide from the governor of Ben Du about this matter, but Steward Fang recently bought a white tiger skin in the black market of Liuli Lane?" By the way, I also bought dozens of catties of gunpowder and a few firearms? ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang An's heart was cold, and he didn't know how the two Jurchens were doing now, and whether they had been caught.

"Steward Fang? Steward Fang? ”

Luo Sigong saw that Fang An was in a daze after he mentioned the white tiger skin, he shouted twice, and seeing that Fang An came back to his senses, Luo Sigong continued: "Then let's go." ”

Fang An knew that he couldn't hide from this, so he didn't want to hide, recently, he had been uneasy, no matter how much Jin Yiwei knew about this matter, he could only resist everything with one shoulder.

Just as Fang An followed Luo Sigong and was about to get into the carriage, Fang from the Fang Mansion walked out from the inside with the help of Zheyou's gatehouse.
