9-27 The East Factory has become a floating cloud
The news that the East Factory was stopped by the Manchu spies spread quickly in the capital, and the government and the opposition attached great importance to Jinyiwei and the South Factory, and they all went out to search and arrest the thirteen city gates in the capital, and sent the fans of the South Factory to check the people entering and exiting with the cooperation of the forbidden army, and detained hundreds of suspicious people every day, and outsiders only regarded it as a search for Manchu spies, but insiders knew that the South Factory was not arresting the Qing people, but the counterparts of the East Factory.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, Wei Zhongxian's design to assassinate the Marquis of Zhenwu has reached the ears of some court bigwigs, such as Qian Qianyi, Yuan Chonghuan, Qi Zhenming, Xu Zengshou and the others all kept silent, and even intentionally or unintentionally cooperated with Nanchang's actions, everyone knew that this time Wei Zhongxian played a little big and forced Zhenwuhou to a dead end, if Liu Ziguang didn't hurry, then it wasn't Liu Ziguang, Nanchang copied Dongchang, at least it could dilute Liu Ziguang's anger and resentment, if his old man's evil fire didn't go out, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty would start a civil war.
Zhu Youxiao was scolded by his mother, honestly, many squatted in the Taiye Pool to play with the steamboat model for several days, Wei Zhongxian was even more miserable, was punished in the East Palace, Fengxian Hall faced the wall, the power of the Duke was still in those little eunuchs, scurrying around, ventilating and reporting for a while, saying that the Yamen of Dongchang was washed in blood, saying that the peripheral fans were out of wind, and saying for a while that the hidden strongholds of Dongchang were all pulled out, and Wei Zhongxian was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, but without the emperor's holy decree to kill him, he didn't dare to leave without permission, that is, he personally arrived at the scene, and how could he let Liu Ziguang catch it and not cut it with a knife, in comparison, it is more reliable to hide honestly in Fengxian Palace。
The people of Nanchang not only washed the Dongchang in blood, but also robbed a large number of secret archives, which recorded the identity of the secret contact points and secret spies in various places in the Dongchang, and there were no less than ten secret strongholds in the capital alone.
By the time Nanchang Fanzi pounced, Mr. Sima had already slipped away the wisdom of a scholar, and at this moment he was swept up in the Dongchang headquarters, and was washed in blood, and on the morning when the news came, Sima Sheng followed the ancient precept that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and packed up the gold and silver treasures given to him by Wei Gonggong, famous paintings, ancient books, and a small burden, and then slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet, and did not forget to take a beautiful Ji away before leaving, in order to relieve the loneliness on the way to escape.
It is with the cover of a woman, coupled with Sima Sheng's calmness and composure, that he escaped from the capital without danger, and after leaving the city, Sima Sheng sighed and said in his heart, my efforts have been in vain, and my good future has been ruined by Liu Ziguang, and it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years.
Although Sima Sheng slipped away, but after all, he left traces, Nanchang arrested several maids from his house, and used people to interrogate them overnight, according to the confession, he painted pictures and pictures everywhere, and posted everywhere to arrest this person, and the title of Sima Shengguan was the Manchu Military Aircraft Department's five-grade staff leader, it was this person who disguised himself and broke into the East Factory, gained Wei Zhongxian's trust, and became the military advisor of the East Factory, which led to this tragedy, and the Manchu Military Aircraft Department Special Task Force mastered the details of the East Factory, and swept the whole factory with many casualties.
There is such a big thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven, as a counter-espionage agency, Nanchang naturally has to take on a big responsibility, to say that their reaction is really fast enough, in three days, hundreds of Manchu undercover agents hidden in the East Factory, of course, there may be mistakes in this, so one or two are inevitable, now at this juncture, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one.
After this catastrophe, the East Factory is finished, the dead and wounded, and the injured are also imprisoned in the prison of the South Factory as undercover agents, the former glory is dazzling, in the hearts of the people, like the ghost gate synonymous with the East Factory, has now become a deserted house, the two factories and one guard stand on their feet, the situation is broken in an instant, in the face of the sun in the middle of the South Factory, the Jinyi Wei did not dare to fight in court, can only carefully cooperate with them to arrest the "Manchu undercover agents".
Liu Ziguang still did not kill Wei Zhongxian after all, because Wei Zhongxian's relationship with the emperor is still very deep, killing him will definitely leave a shadow in Zhu Youxiao's heart, it is better to cut off his wings and make him a toothless tiger, Wei Zhongxian thought about Zhu Youxiao pretending to be sick and not going to the court, and the affairs fell to the cabinet, which was an unexpected joy, Qian Qianyi suddenly felt that he was a fisherman in the fable of the crane and clam fighting, so he did not come forward to help Dongchang speak, and he was happy to make a lot of money.
This time, Liu Ziguang can be regarded as a murderer, Cheng Xiang was not only unlucky, but also made a lot of money, his son helped him get three baskets of gold, silver and jewelry, not to mention, but also got a crown and a count, the title of the lord is not rare, but money can't buy it, if it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's grasp of what birthday, and our baby is embarrassed, we can't think of doing this thing, now it's good, the vassal king of the Ming vassal country, although this land is a little smaller, but no matter how small the mosquito is, no matter how bad the meat is, it can also wear a purple python, and others will also be honored to call it His Royal Highness。 Of course, the biggest gain is to settle the East Factory, and from then on, the notorious name of the East Factory will be swept into the garbage heap of history, which is the blessing brought by the baby son Liu Qianqiang.
Qingdao's sailors bravely went out to sea, went around in a circle, and went back again, the gunboats in the Shanghai shipyard had not been launched, and the students of the martial arts hall climbed on the Purple Mountain in full armor for a long time, and were told that this was a routine exercise. The soldiers of the Red Shirt Regiment were also false alarms, and it was a lucky thing for them that this battle finally did not start, because the family was all under the disaster of the capital army, and they would definitely suffer from the disaster.
In short, everything has passed, Zhenwuhou is still as proud as ever, the old subordinates are still as high as ever, the East Factory was revoked, the market of the South Factory was bullish, Liu Ziguang took advantage of the situation to recruit a group of people, expanded the team of the South Factory, and stepped up the investigation of the Huguang River Embankment fraud case, and the killing of the South Factory Fanzi.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the officials of the investigation team are not killed, and only the people in Nanchang are obviously sowing discord and provoking contradictions between Liu Ziguang and the Donglin Party.
In view of the fact that the investigation team was attacked and all the documents and testimonies were destroyed, Nanchang took drastic measures and intervened in the investigation of the case by forceful means.
According to the judge, Yamen Gao Yifei sat in the back hall in civilian clothes and read, and he did not move out of the official residence after his black yarn was removed, because everyone knew that this was just a common trick in the officialdom, and he temporarily took off his hat and was wronged, so that the above could deal with the trouble, and the natural official was reinstated, although the senior did not wear official clothes or black yarn, but the affairs of the Huguang judicial mouth were still in charge of the same bullish spirit as before.
The investigation team was attacked and killed, several people were burned, and a number of files were burned, and the officials who did not die were so frightened that they hid in the yamen all day long, not daring to go out, let alone investigate anything, and it was not a tiger to go on like this, although I don't know what kind of force did the attack on the investigation team, but Gao Yifei understood that it must be the high-level of the imperial court who was fighting the law.
When I was reading a book and was happy, I suddenly reported to someone: "The old master is not good, the young master has been arrested by officers and soldiers!" Gao Yifei was shocked: "Which officer and soldier of the yamen doesn't know that Xiong'er is an official?" ”
"They said that the prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people, but by the way, this group of people has a capital accent, and it seems that they are not officers and soldiers from Huguang."
As he was talking, another subordinate reported that all the prisoners in Hanyang Prison had been taken over, and the warden and some jailers had been detained, saying that they were going to investigate the matter of extorting confessions through torture.
Gao Yifei couldn't sit still, could it be that the Qian Pavilion was ready to abandon himself? Could it be that the imperial court has undergone earth-shaking changes? He thought for a moment and said, "The old man who prepared the sedan chair is going to patrol the river and the imperial history yamen." ”
Just about to go out, a team of people came to meet him, and a person in a flying fish suit embroidered spring knife and black iron chain showed his waist card and said: "Nanchang is on business, please fly back to drink tea!" ”
The sedan chair stopped, Gao Yifei lifted the sedan curtain. said with a calm face: "Bastard, the emperor has Zhinan Factory, and he has no right to intervene in the investigation of foreign spies and local cases, not to mention that the old man is a three-grade master, don't forget, although the old man's inspection makes the black yarn take off the black yarn, there is still the fame of the Jinshi on his body, how can you take it when you say it?" ”
Gao Yifei saw that it was Nanchang, but he was not afraid, he was afraid that Jinyiwei would come to take him, so it would mean that Lord Qian regarded him as an outcast, since the other party was from Nanchang, it meant that Liu Ziguang did not play cards according to the routine, this situation must be stabilized, and they must not be afraid that as long as they delay time, Lord Qian and Lord Qi will definitely find a way to save them.
"Who said that we were going to take you, the rules of our South Factory, please drink tea, just let you drink tea at the specified time and place, while explaining the problem, it is not considered an arrest, right, the noble son is also drinking tea with us, you father and son are just exchanging and exchanging tea experiences, let me take it away!" The leader waved his hand, a team of fans rushed up, rudely lowered the sedan curtain, and coerced the four sedan chair drivers to walk towards the Nanchang office in Wuhan.
