5-47 Deliverance
Liu Ziguang broke a small piece of rubble from the wall, flicked it with his fingers, and the pieces flew to Han Xue'er's side, startling her to stop the movements of her hands behind her back, and then looked around vigilantly, Liu Ziguang gently shushed and attracted her attention, Han Xue'er saw Liu Ziguang's face among the leaves on the wall, and his face suddenly relaxed, and his hands behind him immediately resumed their movements, and he untied the rope without grinding twice, and took his hands out from behind his back, Liu Ziguang pointed to the hall in the courtyard with his fingers, Han Xue'er raised the thumb and index finger of his right hand knowingly, hinting that there were eight people in the house, Liu Ziguang thought about it, and felt that eight people were easy to deal with, or it was better to attack directly。
Originally, the Koreans set up sentry posts at the gate and in the courtyard, but after Liu Xiaomei made such a fuss, everyone ran into the house to snatch the king's hand, and no one was left outside, Liu Ziguang turned over and went down the wall, and after landing quietly, he pulled out the musket and short knife and touched the hall, Han Xueer picked up a broom from the corner of the wall, and also wanted to follow Lord Liu to rescue Liu Xiaomei, but was stopped by Liu Ziguang with a look.
Liu Ziguang approached the hall three steps and two steps, approached the door, first put his head on the door, listened to the movement inside, only to hear that there were many people in the room hurriedly talking, Chinese and Korean were mixed, as if they were arguing about something, and occasionally there was Liu Xiaomei's immature child's voice
"Birdfish." These two words. Liu Ziguang didn't know what was born inside, he only knew that Liu Xiaomei must not have any mistakes, so he immediately kicked open the door and yelled: "Don't move!" Min Zhenghao was worried about how to get back the king's edict in Liu Xiaomei's hand, but he didn't expect Nanchang Fanzi to come to the door so quickly, and he was defenseless for a while, and the people in the room were dumbfounded.
However, the Goryeo warriors reacted in an instant, brandishing a three-strand steel fork with distinctive Goryeo characteristics and pounced on Liu Ziguang, Liu Ziguang reacted faster than them, turned the rifle and fired again and again, and the guy who dared to resist was shot in the head on the spot, and the smoke dissipated, and four people lay down in the house, and the remaining four people were frightened by this huge and powerful weapon, and the knife in their hands could not be held steadily, under the leadership of Min Zhenghao, they seized the road and fled, and the Nanchang Fanzi who surrounded the courtyard heard the gunshots and knew that it was fighting inside, and immediately rushed over with a shout, and blocked Min Zhenghao and others。
Liu Ziguang took the empty gun that had finished the bullet, looking for Liu Xiaomei's traces in the smoke of the house, but the room was gone, her figure looked out along the broken window next to her, at this moment Liu Xiaomei was squatting on the big tree outside, her hands were still covering her ears, her little brows were frowning, as if she was frightened by the gunfire just now, Liu Ziguang hurriedly walked under the tree, persuaded each other well, said everything, Liu Xiaomei didn't come down, looked at the sky, and was still talking about what water birds and flying fish in her mouth, Liu Ziguang called Han Xueer over and asked what was going on, Han Xueer 1510 told Min Zhenghao and others how to coax Liu Xiaomei, Liu Ziguang smiled"It turns out that it's for these two things, of course there are diving birds, are they cormorants, and flying fish are not difficult to find, and they are everywhere in the East and overseas." After Liu Ziguang repeatedly promised to help Liu Kitten get osprey and flying fish as toys as soon as possible, Liu Kitten agreed, she stretched out her hands and said to Liu Ziguang: "Hug." Then jumped down from the tree with a whoosh, Liu Ziguang hurriedly reached out to catch Liu Xiaomei, who belonged to the type of stealing fat, on the surface it looked slender Xiuxin, in fact, Xiaoman's waist grew a lot of sturdy thief meat, but it didn't have much weight to pick it up, the fanzi of the brigade poured into the yard for a thorough search, Liu Ziguang was very embarrassed in front of everyone, but Liu Xiaomei didn't care so much, threw his head into Liu Ziguang's arms, pretended to sleep, and didn't mean to come down at all, the whole person was still as greedy as usual, and there was no difference between playing and sleeping, it seemed that the kidnapping incident just now was just a fun game for her。
Liu Ziguang couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to call a carriage to come over, and he took the scoundrel Liu Xiaomei back, and the matter here was handed over to Sun Gang to deal with, and after a while, the carriage came, Liu Ziguang hugged Liu Xiaomei and got into the car first, and saw Han Xueer still standing in the yard, he couldn't help but move in his heart, this wise and brave girl seemed to be a pity to be a maid, so he waved her hand and let her get into the carriage.
The carriage was marching on the street of Changzhou Mansion, Liu Ziguang and Han Xue'er sat face to face, since Han Xue'er was included in the mansion, Liu Ziguang had seen him squarely, and today's incident made Liu Ziguang look at this girl with a charming face, Han Xue'er's hands broke when grinding the rope, and a handkerchief was wrapped around her wrist like white jade, and at this moment the handkerchief had oozed Yin Yin's blood, it seemed that she must have worked very hard when she was grinding the rope.
"Does it hurt?" Liu Ziguang asked Han Xueer while patting the sleeping Liu kitten.
"It hurts." Han Xue'er seemed to be very unaccustomed to sitting so close to Liu Ziguang, a pair of big misty eyes glanced at it quickly, Liu Ziguang quickly lowered his head, and two red clouds rose on his face for no reason.
"Today's matter is thanks to you, if it weren't for the sachet to guide the way, we wouldn't have found the thief so quickly, and after a long time, the consequences will be difficult to say, if you have any requirements, just mention it, I will definitely meet you." Liu Ziguang said.
Han Xue'er pinched the corner of her skirt and was silent for a long time before she said: "The lord treats the slave and the maid as kind as a mountain, these are the slaves and maids that the slaves and maids should do, and the slaves and maids just want to serve the master for the rest of their lives, and they dare not have other thoughts." Liu Ziguang said: "I see that you are not afraid of improvisation, your brain is very bright, and you are good at singing and dancing, and you are a maid, it's a pity, it's better to help do something in the south factory, and help me share my worries." ”
"Isn't Nanchang a yamen? Can a woman also be an errand boy in the yamen? Han Xue'er opened her small cherry mouth and was very surprised by Liu Ziguang's sudden idea.
"There's nothing you can't do, as long as you want to."
"I'm willing, as long as I can help my lord do things, I can do anything." Han Xue'er nodded like a chicken eating rice.
All the Goryeo kidnappers were captured, the facts of this case are clear, there are both human and material evidence, there is really nothing to deny, Min Zhenghao admitted all the facts of the crime very shamefully, said that he was not assigned by the king of Goryeo, everything was his own personal behavior, and the people in Nanchang were not so easy to fool them, tortured others, and finally got some valuable information: the king of Goryeo in order to steal the technology of the Ming Dynasty, culture, medicine, agriculture, astronomical calendar and other humanistic achievements have sent more than one road to infiltrate the Ming Realm.
In addition, there is another piece of information: this time Min Zhenghao kidnapped Liu Xiaomei, in fact, under the guidance of a master, it is said that a few days ago, when Lord Min was at a loss for the technical drawings, he was once on the street under the guidance of a fortune teller named Guo Tiebi, and the fan of the Maze Nanchang immediately went out to capture Guo Tiebi, who knew that this person had died in his own room, and a knife in the throat and heart, the technique was very neat, and there was no clue left, it was definitely a master's doing.
Could it be that there are other black hands behind this case? Faced with the confusing case, the fans were at a loss, so they had to suspend the case for the time being, and wait for a thorough investigation in the future.
Liu Xiaomei was rescued, the auction work can continue, Liu Ziguang left enough manpower to guard around Xingyuan, and rushed to the auction site again, just now a big search in the city has caused a shock, and the crowd who saw Lord Qincha coming over with a smile on his face calmed down and the auction started again.
The transfer of welding technology and advanced steam engine drawings is not the sale of patents, but the transfer of technology for a fee, that is, I sell the ancestral secret recipe to you, and I can also sell it to others, but you can not continue to transfer after you buy it, even if the conditions are so harsh, the manufacturers who want these two technologies are still flocking, especially the two shipyards in Wuchang and Guangzhou, they are very reluctant to return empty-handed, so the auction was very successful, the two technologies were taken away by the two shipyards at a high price of 530,000 taels of silver and 1.18 million taels respectively, and the cash box of the household department was full of silver tickets, and it was sold with silver tickets, and the Qishuyan Machinery Factory fattened the household with more than 10 million taels of cash in hand, and the imperial court could have funds nowIf you have more money, you can fight a war, and if you occupy the land, you can have more silver, and the Ming Dynasty may be able to enter a virtuous circle from then on.
The auction ended successfully, all the merchants left Changzhou Mansion with the spoils, and within one day, Changzhou Mansion returned to the calm of the past, Jiangnan weaving has been re-mastered in the hands of the imperial court, Shanghai Dao and the city of Bo Si have also been replaced by reliable officials, now the Qishuyan Machinery Factory is also over, Liu Ziguang proposed to the emperor that the few things to buy and sell the money, only the salt is left, and it has not had time to do it, I heard that those salt merchants in Yangzhou and Haizhou have been aware of it, and they are sincerely afraid to donate millions of taels of silver to the imperial court, saying that they want to make a contribution to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and Lin Ruhai, the governor of salt affairs, is the son-in-law of the Cao family in Jiangnan Weaving, and the fall of the Cao family makes him keenly aware of the seriousness of the situationI resigned from the imperial court, and it seems that the salt matter can not be solved with too much effort.
The urgent telegram from the Liguo Iron Works said again: Old Man Peng's health deteriorated further, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive this winter, urging Liu Ziguang to rush to complete the marriage, and he can't delay it for a day, Liu Ziguang has no choice but to say goodbye to the eldest princess and rush to Liguo by airship, and the entourage is not a single one.
If you marry Peng Jingrong first, it will inevitably affect the marriage between the eldest princess and herself, how can the eldest princess be a little Liu Ziguang has a headache for this, but postponing the marriage period and marrying the eldest princess first and letting Peng Jingrong be a little is not the case, not to mention that the princess has not officially expressed her willingness to marry herself, and the attitude of the concubine and the ministers of the imperial court also needs to be considered, Liu Ziguang can't figure out how to face it, so he has to take one step at a time, and go to the iron factory first.
