So, Xiang Xiaoqiangsan entered the palace.

This time, he also carried two unlucky ghosts: Snail and Goushun.

There were a total of three cars in the East Factory, and the three of them happened to have one car each. Xiang Xiaoqiang sat in the back seat of the car, with a windbreaker on the left and a right on the right, sandwiching him in the middle.

Compared with the scared snail and dog Shun, Xiang Xiaoqiang is not too worried. First, I didn't do anything; Second, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water - since they already have the experience of drinking coffee with Jinyiwei at the sticky pole, they don't care too much about drinking coffee in the East Factory; Third, his "little wife" Xiuxiu is actually from Dongchang, which can be regarded as "there are people inside".

However, Xiang Xiaoqiang held back his doubts and was depressed. The first thing, although I know Xiuxiu's identity, the names "Shangxiu" and "Cuihua" must be fake. Of course, Xiang Xiaoqiang's hundred hopes that "Cuihua" is fake.

The second thing, assuming that her name is Shang Xiu, then why did she use the name "Miao Cuihua" to be hospitalized? …… Well, I Xiaoqiang Bingxue is smart, and I can probably guess: this may be a precautionary measure in Dongchang, and I found a woman named "Miao Cuihua" who was the same injury as her and about the same age, and the two exchanged identities and were hospitalized. In this way, if something like this happens today, the Lord will be saved.

The third thing, and the most depressing thing, who are the two people who came in first? first pretended to be the intelligence of the East Factory, and the pretense was seamless, and even professionals like Xiuxiu didn't see it. But after the real Dongchang people came in, the two of them were so frightened that they were urinating, and the short man insisted that he was their aunt, and after being glared at by the tall man, he didn't say anything, and then he didn't say who their girl was.

The conscience of heaven and earth, this really made Xiang Xiaoqiang depressed, this is in front of Xiuxiu! How can you chase people? Although it is not that you can't chase it anymore if you are married, the problem is that it is about integrity and people's perception of yourself.

Xiang Xiaoqiang racked his brains, and he couldn't think of whose uncle he would be. If it weren't for Xiaoqiang, who was also a single person before he crossed over, he would have wondered if his wife's family had found him from the later generations.

To say that at noon, I just made a private agreement with Qiu Yu for life, but that was only a private life! And after only two hours in total, she came to her family to recognize her uncle? Still found here?

"It would be good if this is the case," Xiang Xiaoqiang was depressed, and thought to himself, "I would rather the day after I know every girl, their family will take the initiative to recognize me as an aunt...... Of course, it has to be pretty. At least like Qiuyun. ”

There is another thing that is also quite depressing, the two spies around me sat in the car and sandwiched themselves in the middle, and they didn't say a word, no matter how they asked, their mouths were closed tightly, and they didn't even look at themselves.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was depressed, and he almost burst into foul language, but it didn't burst out in the end.

…… It's really hateful.

Outside the window, military vehicles drove by from time to time, full of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition. Probably because of his own phone call, Nanjing has already reacted, and it seems that it is mobilizing troops to block the road out of the city and set up a check.

The car sped along Changping Road, turned a corner at the end, and drove onto another big road. Although this road is also straight and wide, it is very magnificent, but there are relatively few cars, and there is no bustling feeling of Changping Road.

The two sides of the road were not planted with plane trees, but with an unnamed evergreen tree, lush like a guard, jutting out to the far eye level. The buildings passing on both sides are not very tall, most of them are built of red bricks and green bricks, with bluestone as the base, and the sides are covered with ivy and moss, although they have withered, they still look very quaint.

I have just enjoyed Changping Road, the most prosperous street in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and now it suddenly turns, giving people a feeling of freshness and elegance, and I can't help but want to take a deep breath.

This road is quite stylish. Xiang Xiaoqiang thought, looking out the window at the house number through the head next to him, trying to identify the name of the road. However, due to the fact that this road is quite quiet, the car is driving relatively fast, and the roadside number is very small, it took several flashes to see the road name:

Royal Road Street.

Hey, Michi Street! When I lived in Nanjing in later generations, the name of this road often lingered in my ears, and I didn't pay much attention to it. However, now, the word "Yudao Street" has a special meaning.

"Hey," Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly burst out, "Is Yudao Street where your emperor lives?" ”

He suddenly understood what he had said, and immediately the sweat came down, staring at the two next to him to see if they had any special expressions.

The Dongchang man next to him moved his lips, turned his face, glanced at him, turned his face back, and his throat moved again, it seemed that he wanted to speak, but in the end he held back.

"Whew!"

Xiang Xiaoqiang closed his eyes, his chest jumped wildly, and he secretly swore that he would never play with fire like this again in the future.

However, there is still an inexplicable coolness in my heart, which finally makes the other party depressed.

……

The car slowed down and stopped in front of a wrought iron fence.

Inside was an English-style four-story house, very large, red brick, with several chimneys emitting white smoke, which looked very warm in the bleak winter. In the garden courtyard of the bungalow, there are several black cars parked. It was quite busy under the porch, with people coming in and out, men and women, greeting and laughing with each other in a hurry. The men's suits and leather shoes, windbreakers and hats, women's suits and skirts, with Xiaokun bags and high heels, all look very capable.

Where is this? What do these people do? Xiang Xiaoqiang muttered suspiciously, the nest of the East Factory? Male fan? Female fanzi?

…… No way.

These people probably did not have high positions, and none of them moved the cars when they came out and went in, they all walked out of the door, and as soon as they raised their hands, they immediately got out of a rickshaw. Xiang Xiaoqiang saw that in the sunny field across the road, a group of rickshaw drivers were basking in the sun, smoking and chatting, giggling and waiting for business.

It shouldn't be the East Factory. Think to Xiaoqiang.

The three cars slowly checked the documents, and another head wearing a steel helmet stuck into the window, and looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang Haosheng before waving his hand in.

So strict, is it still the East Factory?

When I walked to the front, there was a cast iron plaque hanging under the porch, engraved with large characters in Lishu:

- Ming Empire - East Compilation Factory - Second Bureau

…… It's really an east factory.

……

When I entered the door, it was very warm. Although it is a Western-style house, there is still a one-person-high statue in the foyer, black and fierce, and Xiang Xiaoqiang guessed that it was Yue Fei.

A couplet on the left and right. This kind of old-fashioned bungalow, with thick walls and narrow windows, is so dark that the hall is so dark that you have to work hard to see the characters clearly.

Shanglian is: 300 years of allegiance, table Taizu 30 dynasty figures

The next link is: 100 million people die with one heart and righteousness, and restore 10,000 miles of the Ming Dynasty

The horizontal batch is: loyal to the country

Well, this is in line with the East Factory in the novel.

Xiang Xiaoqiang's hand itched, and seeing that no one paid attention to him, he approached Yue Fei's statue and flicked it.

"When—"

The voice is loud, well, it's still copper.

A hand slapped Xiang Xiaoqiang's shoulder, scaring him so much that his hair exploded.

A faint voice in the back of his head:

"Sounds good, right?"

Before he could turn around, he pointed to the stairs with one hand in front of him:

"Go upstairs."

Wooden staircase, wooden handrails.

The group went up to the second floor with a voice:

"Turn left."

Xiang Xiaoqiang was just about to turn left, and one hand pushed him:

"I didn't say you, you keep walking."

I went up to the third floor again, and the voice made me "turn right" again, not to mention him.

Go up to the fourth floor, go to the top floor. Looking back at Xiaoqiang, only himself and a Dongchang person, the snail and the dog Shun have "evaporated".

The hallway floor is made of wood, and there is a knock when you walk up. The walls are whitewashed, and the dark brown wooden doors are closed under the soft chandeliers. The whole corridor is quiet.

The person behind him stopped in front of a door, knocked twice, held his breath and listened to no movement for a while, then took out the key to open the door, pointed to the inside and said to Xiaoqiang:

"You go inside and sit and wait for a while."

Xiang Xiaoqiang entered, and the man closed the door behind him and left.

Xiang Xiaoqiang leaned against the door and heard the footsteps go away, so he gently twisted the handle and opened the door a crack. The door is unlocked. Outside is a quiet corridor with no one on the road.

Run? Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately habitually flashed this thought.

But, is it necessary?

The door was not locked, which means that people did not treat him as a prisoner. I really didn't do anything. The ones who should be explained have been explained on the Jinyi Guard's side. In addition to the passage that he descended from the sky and crossed in the afterlife, it was a bit incredible, but it was "intermittent paranoia", which was certified by the hospital.

But later, in order to show that he was not a madman, he made up another set of bridges for Qiu Qiu who defected from the Qing Dynasty and fell into the Yangtze River. In the hospital, he also told Xiuxiu and the two fake Dongchang people that these people in Dongchang could find out at once.

But it's not a big deal, it shouldn't be a big deal. Hehe, the two imposters downstairs should be really scared, and they are probably sifting chaff in fright.

The words of the military doctor MM echoed in his ears:

“…… It's just an intelligence unit. Hehe, this is the Ming Dynasty, not Russia, nor your Qing Dynasty......"

Based on yesterday's trial experience in Jinyiwei and the treatment he received when he entered the East Factory, these legendary Ming Dynasty spy agencies are indeed not as terrible as they imagined, at least for themselves, others are still "civilized law enforcement".

What kind of society is the Ming Dynasty now? I came here for a day and a night, and I saw a lot, but I only saw a scratch of the surface. I wonder what kind of true face this behemoth hides under a prosperous and peaceful surface?

Is it because they know their relationship with Qiu Yu and Xiuxiu, so they are more face-saving? Or did they know their heroic performance on the side of the Qing Dynasty last night, so they admired it?

Okay, okay, don't YY, think to Xiaoqiang, and wait and see what happens is the best policy.

He took a deep breath, turned around, and took a closer look at the office.

The office is about ten square meters, although it is not large, but it is very bright.

Dark wood floors, crisp white walls, waist-length wooden wainscoting. The ceilings are high, the floor-to-ceiling windows are large, and the flannel curtains are pulled on both sides, allowing the winter sun to pour into the room.

The large carved writing desk is furnished with cloth lamps, desk calendars, ink tables, and quill pens. There are a few pots of flowers by the window, such as Junzi Orchid, Crab Claw Orchid, Plum, Begonia or something. By another floor-to-ceiling window, there is a small wooden frame with a spherical glass fish tank on top, and two red goldfish with large tails swim freely, enjoying the warm sunlight pouring into the bathtub.

On the other side is a fireplace. In the hearth, the remaining flames danced on a pile of charcoal embers, about to be extinguished, still radiating warm residual heat into the room. The small wire basket next to it contains wooden blocks.

On the wall above the fireplace is a motto:

"What the Holy One cannot see, hear, think, or do, we must see, hear, think, and do for the Holy One."

Damn, that's it!

Xiang Xiaoqiang sat on the sofa. At this time, the sofa was still spring-loaded and covered with a light blue cloth, which was very nostalgic.

It's a very comfortable office. Xiang Xiaoqiang guessed, could it be the factory superintendent?

Probably not. It's comfortable, but it's not too big and it's not flashy. Besides, his "case" is probably not enough to ask the supervisor of the East Factory to try it personally. It should be a petty official's office down there.

There were several stacks of newspapers spread out on the coffee table, Xiang Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up, and he turned over to look at it.

Damn, the bad newspapers at this time are all in traditional Chinese, not to mention, they are all printed vertically, and I will be dazzled after a few glances.

But Xiaoqiang needs to know the information of this world too much. He flipped through it hungrily, letting go of the small print, and read the headlines first.

……

……

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang was fascinated by it, and the door rang. Someone is using a key to open the door.

He snapped, closed the newspaper, and stared up at the door.

The keyhole turned twice, and a woman's voice outside the door said to herself:

"Hey, I remember locking the door......"
