Chapter 270: Help
Thinking back to Tang Jingzong's incomprehensible expression and attitude just now, Shi Xuan's mood at this moment was extremely heavy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the eyeliner arranged by Tang Jingzong beside Fang Tang, Shi Xuan's definition of himself was also very clear.
Regarding black powder and bombs, he needs to stay focused at all times, and he must report to Tang Jingzong at any time
And after the panic outside the city, Shi Xuan was also summoned by Tang Jingzong to the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace after Tang Jingzong issued an order for the other party Tang to arrest him.
What Tang Jingzong wanted to know from Shi Xuan's mouth now was also what Fang Tang had always feared.
Is there a bomb leak in the Firearms Bureau?
has been in charge of the court for many years, and after this incident happened, Tang Jingzong took this into account at the first time, and for Tang Jingzong's problem, Shi Xuan also said truthfully
"Back to Your Majesty, there are no bombs leaking out of the Firearms Bureau." Shi Xuan's answer surprised Tang Jingzong slightly.
Looking at his expression at the moment, it was as if the answer he wanted to know from Shi Xuan's mouth was not this one.
"So what's going on with the Firearms Bureau lately? Is there an anomaly? ”
Tang Jingzong's question again at this time shocked Shi Xuan's heart, but at this time, he didn't have time to think about why Tang Jingzong asked such a question, thinking back to the recent situation, Shi Xuan arched his hand and said.
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is normal in the Firearms Bureau."
After Tang Jingzong heard Shi Xuan's answer, he leaned back on the dragon chair and began to be silent, and with this short silence time, Shi Xuan also used it to digest the shock in his heart just now
As the young eunuch of the Firearms Bureau, as the eyeliner that His Majesty had placed beside Fang Tang, Shi Xuan certainly knew why Tang Jingzong attached so much importance to this matter
But because he knew too much, and at the same time, according to Tang Jingzong's slightly vague attitude at this time, this could not allow Shi Xuan to continue to remain calm.
The panic outside the city was caused by a detonated bomb, but no bomb leaked from the Firearms Bureau, and Fang Tang was the only person who knew how to make a bomb except for His Majesty today!
Integrating all kinds of news together, Shi Xuan was a little scared at the moment.
Looking at the person in charge of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, Shi Xuan couldn't guess what kind of thoughts he would have when Tang Jingzong learned all the news.
Shi Xuan, who lowered his head to cooperate with the silent atmosphere at the moment, now also broke out in a cold sweat on his back, but this was not because he was worried about Fang Tang, he was worried about himself at the moment.
If Tang Jingzong really felt that Fang Tang had a problem, then what would he think of himself?
Although he is loyal to Tang Jingzong, loyalty is not said with his mouth, and there will always be a cheap feeling of loyalty when he says it.
As a young superintendent of the Firearms Bureau, he is the second person besides Fang Tang who has the right to speak in the Firearms Bureau, and he is solely responsible for the distribution of craftsmen and the management of bombs during Fang Tang's absence.
If Tang Jingzong saw that there was no progress in the future, would he be suspicious of himself?
Although this is a bit impractical, since the emperor and his kind have sat on the dragon throne, suspicion has been completely integrated into their lives as if they were breathing.
Regarding his opinion in Tang Jingzong's heart, Shi Xuan was worried, and then Tang Jingzong, who had been silent, spoke again at this moment, making Shi Xuan's heart feel a lot less uneasy
"I know, stand down"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
After turning around and leaving the Ganlu Palace, Shi Xuan had a feeling of being reborn after the catastrophe, but when he thought of Tang Jingzong's vague attitude towards this matter, Shi Xuan still felt that he had to be cautious
Sail carefully on the ship of ten thousand years, this sentence is not unreasonable, and Shi Xuan also understands his next move
Doing nothing, or not meddling in incidents outside the firearms bureau, is the best policy to protect oneself and prove one's loyalty with actions.
Shi Xuan, who had figured it out, felt a lot more relaxed in his heart now, and the depression that he had just now caused in the face of Tang Jingzong had also disappeared at this moment
Shi Xuan, who lowered his head to consider this matter, when he heard footsteps at this moment, he also quickly raised his head, and when he saw that it was Taifu Liu Tiannan, he also hurriedly saluted
"I've seen Taifu."
"Hmm"
Liu Tiannan didn't respond too much to Shi Xuan's salute, and after nodding at him slightly, Liu Tiannan continued to walk forward.
After turning around and seeing Liu Tiannan enter the Manna Palace, Shi Xuan also felt that this matter would definitely not be closed easily.

Households
The household department is still as usual, extremely busy, although they are also very worried about the situation of their former comrade Fang Tang, but in the face of the iron-faced selfless and unsympathetic Yuanda, they can only hide this pot of worry in their hearts, pretending to know nothing and continue to work hard.
As soon as Zhang Ran, who sneaked back from outside, returned to the household department, he also began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find the account books that recorded the payment of taxes by Westerners
Westerners are a breakthrough in Zhang Ran's eyes, and Zhang Ran, who once knew the inside story, knew that if he wanted Fang Tang to get out of prison completely, then he had to put more effort into Westerners.
The first time he learned about the bomb, Zhang Ran didn't hear it from Fang Tang's mouth, the clay pot that the Westerners were in the back hall, the sulfur in the Jinyunguan, and the news he got made Zhang Ran understand that the first bomb made by Datang was actually that group of Westerners.
Although Zhang Ran didn't know at the moment whether the bomb detonated outside the city was flowing from the Firearms Bureau, Fang Tang's admonition coupled with his own inference, Zhang Ran felt that there were their figures behind this matter.
Since he wants to find a breakthrough from the Westerners, Zhang Ran must find a suitable reason to arrest them back.
As for tax issues, this is also the most direct and fastest way to do it today.
But Zhang Ran, who still found nothing after rummaging through the cabinets, was a little depressed at the moment
"What are you looking for?" An official who walked in from outside was also a little puzzled when he found that the room was in a mess at this time
"Nothing." Patting the dust in his hands, Zhang Ran said with a frown
"Yuan Shangshu is looking for you."
"Yuan Shangshu?"
Zhang Ran was a little surprised that Yuan Da suddenly wanted to find him, but after a little silence, he spoke
"Thanks for informing me, I'll go."
Zhang Ran walked towards Yuanda's office room with a question mark on his face, and after knocking on the door and saluting, before Zhang Ran could speak, Yuanda said first
"After checking the account book of the tax payment of the store in Chang'an City last year, I found that there was something strange about the Zeus Treasure Pavilion, Zhang Ran, you went to find out for the official
If there is a problem, bring them back immediately, if they dare to resist...... Hum! Whatever happened, everything is borne by the official! ”
Yuanda's attitude and practices at this time gave Zhang Ran a new understanding of him, Zhang Ran, who had always thought that Yuanda was conservative, rarely saw Yuanda's bloody moment at this moment, and for Yuanda's true intentions, needless to say, Zhang Ran also understood
Looking at Yuan Da with an expression of admiration, Zhang Ran bent down and replied with confidence
"Xia Guan will not disappoint Lord Shangshu!" (To be continued.) )
