Chapter 44: Ten Years of Cultivation (6)

[First Update.] Today is still the third watch]

Zang Zhanghuo drove people out of the ordnance prison with the fire and chased them in the direction where the cannonballs flew out.

More than a dozen people ran wildly on the streets of the inner city, and the calm streets suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs, and everyone looked sideways along the way.

The inner city is close to the imperial city, and the control is extremely strict, and there is a possibility that a slightly larger number of people will be questioned, and a group of people like this are running around on the road, and after only two streets, they are blocked.

Zang Zhang's eyebrows burned and he shouted in a hurry, "Don't get in the way, I'm Zang Zhang, the ordnance supervisor!" ”

It was an old inspector who came to block the road, and said kindly, "Since it's Zang Guanren, it's easy to say." It's just that there are rules at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if there is an emergency, one or two people will not stop them from hurrying, so many people, the small ones are also embarrassed. If you don't talk about it, what happened, we can also help, if it doesn't work, I can go back and explain. ”

Zang Zhang's words to the slow and rational words made his heart angry, and he jumped to his feet: "The things of the Firearms Bureau flew out of the city, and you lost your life?!" ”

Zang Zhang's followers were Han Gang and Zhang Xuan's personal entourage, all wearing Zhu clothes, and stepped forward and said: "This is the password of Zhang Shumi and Han Xuanhui!" It is a matter of secrecy related to the ordnance superintendent and cannot be leaked. ”

A few people who came up to inquire were just officials from the official office, and they dared to come up to inquire about an official, but they also knew that this was a street where people came and went, and no little official in the green robe dared to attack. At this time, as soon as he heard that it was about Zhang Dian and Han Gang, he immediately didn't dare to say more.

But the inspector still had some doubts in his heart, and his eyes were rolling around Zang Zhang and the two relatives.

Zang Zhang was so anxious that he stomped his feet and was angry: "If you don't believe it, follow up." I need you too! ”

With that, he bypassed the barricades and continued to run. Seeing this, the inspector knew that the matter would not be small, so he sent someone back to report the news, and he led people to chase after him.

Zang Zhang was so anxious that he caught fire while running.

The first test firing of the artillery in the real sense of the word knocked the shell out of the wall of the ordnance superintendent and flew out of the imperial city with it.

Although Han Gang and Zhang Dian are not abnormal on the surface, they don't need to have much ability to observe words and feelings, and they can also see that the two of them are beating drums in their hearts. Otherwise, why would you send your own retinue?

The city of Tokyo is densely populated, and there are people on every street, and a big iron ball flies out of the city, and it is not sure that it will hurt people. What's more, this side is still an inner city, and there are eunuchs everywhere. It is said that if you throw a brick down, you can smash out a foreigner. If you bump into a royal relative, this matter will not end well.

How could this happen?!

Zang Zhang regretted it while running, and if he knew the road, he would have checked it more, and let people lower the muzzle of the cannon a little more.

In order to prevent accidents and better confirm the power of the artillery, the wooden planks used to block the shells were three times thicker, and asbestos was sandwiched in the middle as a buffer. But who would have thought that the cannonball would rub against the upper edge of the plank and fly out.

Now he just hoped that Han Gang was right, the cannonballs only flew out of a mile, and that was Tianning Courtyard, and it was really nothing to kill a few bald donkeys. As long as you don't bump into the eunuch's house to go to the incense, then there is nothing.

Almost a mile away from the ordnance prison, Zang Zhang sent all the people around him to inquire if he had seen an iron ball falling from the sky. Especially in Tianning Temple, Zang Zhang directly kicked in the door, grabbed the old monk who was the host and supervised the temple and asked again and again, but there was no news. Turning his head and staring at a few small novices with fine skin and tender flesh in the courtyard, Zang Zhang took a sip and went out with a gloomy face.

Since there is no news here, I can only continue to go forward and inquire. Zang Zhang went all the way forward, asking questions one by one along the streets and alleys. Having learned almost everything, the inspector went with him to inquire about passers-by and residents.

As more and more people shook their heads, Zang Zhang's heart sank little by little, and further on, they were all Chongren, Baohe Zhufang, where high-ranking officials and eunuchs lived. It's just that the heart of luck has also risen, in case it hits an open space, no one notices, and it's not impossible,

After crossing a street, Boholfang was in front of you.

When I entered Boholfang Street, I saw a group of people in front of me, all facing a large mansion on the side of the road, and the wall occupied half of the street.

If you look closely, there is still a clear dust above the large mansion that a group of people are watching.

"What's wrong? What happened? Zang Zhang's heart jumped, and he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed an onlooker and asked.

The onlooker looked extremely excited, and his eyebrows fluttered: "Taiwei Guo's house has collapsed, and it is still the main hall, and it has collapsed somehow." ”

Zang Zhang's heart immediately chuckled, feeling bad.

A person next to him interjected, "According to me, it must have been empty for a long time, and after the Duke of Yongning County moved out, no one lived in it for more than ten years." ”

"Didn't you just fix it? A few days ago, a lot of wood, bricks and tiles were transported here. ”

"Kaifeng Mansion repaired."

"Oh......" was speechless.

"Who?!" Zang Zhangfang only heard Guo Taiwei, and his soul almost didn't fly out, only then did Fang wake up and ask in a trembling voice: "Which Guo Taiwei?" ”

"How many more Lieutenants can there be?" The onlooker glanced at Zang Zhang with disdain, pulled back his sleeve, and snorted coldly, "It's Taiwei Guo who just came back from Hebei!" ”

Finished!

Zang Zhang's heart was completely cold, and the sky was spinning for a while.

Where did you come from 360 steps, is 500 steps? From the Ordnance Prison to the Baohe Fang, it's a full mile and a half.

In the artillery experiment of the ordnance supervision, the shells flew for a mile and a half, smashing the house of Captain Guo's family, which is really a good joke.

Zang Zhang couldn't laugh, Zhang Dian and Han Gang were also fined copper, Fang Xing has a backstage, at most he is demoted, he, who has no backstage and is a craftsman, has to bear the greatest responsibility.

Why is he so unlucky?!

……………………

Guo Kui was blushing.

Looking at the half-collapsed main hall in front of him, his face was not much different from when he received the news of the fall of Yanmen in Hedong that day.

Today, Guo Kui has experienced first-hand what it means to sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven.

The sky is blue and white, and a meteorite falls from the sky. And he didn't die, but he fell into the main hall of his Guo Kui's house. Even the main hall was gone, but half of the house was smashed.

If it's just a hole, it's better to cover it up, just let people clean it up, and find a bricklayer to fill it up at night. But now things are getting a lot of trouble. The house collapsed, and no matter what, it could not be covered. Si Yan just came to report, there have been a lot of idlers outside to watch the excitement, maybe in a while, the palace will send someone to inquire.

If the news of the meteorite from the sky spreads, those damn astronomical officers of the Qin Heavenly Prison must have something to say. This meteorite did not fall early or late, but it fell in time when Guo Taiwei moved in, which was naturally a warning from heaven, and we should be vigilant against Guo Kui.

Back then, Di Qing's dog's head and horns were just rumors in the market, but now the meteorite is true. There were several servants in the house who were cleaning the front yard, and they saw something fall from the sky and hit the roof of the main hall, and then the house collapsed.

Guo Kui also secretly shouted that it was a fluke, if the main hall was in normal times, it would just be cleaned and would not enter the people. But I just moved in and ushered in the send-off, but people are indispensable to enter and leave. It was only this afternoon that there were no distinguished guests who needed to come forward to receive them, and the family members who had been arranged to serve in the main hall were called to clean the courtyard - the family was small, and now only one person could do the work of two people.

If the meteorite falls when someone is inside, I don't know how many lives will fall.

"My lord, my son, I found this thing in the main hall." Guo Zhongyi came out of the main hall with a disgraced face and shouted.

Guo Kui's eldest son Guo Zhongxiao was not at home, and the second son Guo Zhongyi was sent in by Guo Kui to check, and if there was anything that could not be seen, he immediately cleaned it up.

The news that the meteorite hit his head must be blocked, and the crime can be pushed to the Kaifeng Mansion that repaired the village. After a few years, the news leaked out, and time passed, and there was no proof of death.

Guo Zhongyi trotted over, holding a round black ball in his hand. Looking at Guo Zhongyi's movements, the weight will not be very light.

"What is this?" Guo Kui asked.

"It's supposed to be an iron ball. The son found it in the main hall, thinking that there was no such thing at home, and it was not an iron ball to be placed on the beams of the house. ”

The main hall did not collapse completely. Guo Zhongyi went in to take a look at the situation and found this iron ball. It's not a town house to put a few to win, but there are iron balls. Intuitively, I felt that this was probably the culprit who smashed the main hall, so I hurriedly used a handkerchief to support it and rushed it to Guo Kui.

Guo Kui took the iron ball from his son, and his hand suddenly sank. It's very heavy, I'm afraid there are not more than ten pounds. The color is dark and swarthy, and there is plaster, lime and the like stuck to it.

Guo Zhongyi was worried and curious, and asked Guo Kui, "My lord, could this be meteorite?" ”

Swords made of meteorite iron in the sky are all treasures in the world. There are many rumors, but few people have seen them with their own eyes. It is said that they can blow hair and cut off hair, cut gold and jade. If it is really meteoric iron and made into a sword, it must be a world-famous divine weapon. The Guo family is a family of generals, and of course there are a lot of hidden soldiers, but there is not a single weapon made of meteoric iron. It would not be bad if there was a suppression of the hundred soldiers.

It's too round.

Guo Kui had some doubts in his heart, could the meteorites falling from the sky be as round as balls? It should feel like ore. However, he had never seen a meteorite, and he didn't dare to deny it.

Guo Kui wiped it with his hand, brushed off the dust on it, and then immediately froze.

It's not a meteorite, but it's not a meteorite.

"Han Gang!" Guo Kui roared violently, and for a while he was furious, turning his hand and smashing the iron ball to the ground.

There was a bang, and Guo Zhongyi, who was close at hand, was startled. The father who strode out with a peek, he carefully picked up the iron ball, wiped it, looked at it, and immediately understood.

There are a few lines of small words engraved on the iron ball:

In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, in August, Lu Wen, the supervisor of Fang Xing, and the sentence of the ordnance supervisor Huang.

It didn't fall from the sky, it was thrown by the ordnance superintendent!

Guo Zhongyi looked after his father, who was almost burned with anger, and said in his heart: 'No wonder! ’
