Chapter 266: The Three-Day Battle (6)
Xie Jingyi looked at Concubine Cai, her hair was gray, and she was only holding it with a silver hairpin, and on the hairpin, there was a coral bead falling, which looked like a southern red bean, bright and dripping.
She was a little angry, and her body shook, and the beads swayed as if they were about to jump.
"It's really a pity, concubine, you haven't heard of the story of the mantis arm blocking the car." Xie Jingyi looked at the red beads and said softly.
If the place where the gunpowder was put was not found, they would not have come here with such fanfare, knowing that they would be threatened, and let the officials come and be slapped in the face, even if they were young and ignorant, Ouyang Xianggong would not be so confused.
Speaking of which, when the new emperor was born, some of the older princes in the palace died early, and the rest of them also went out of the palace because they got married.
The concubines have been fighting all their lives, and they have watched this yellow-mouthed child sit on the throne because of his good fate, how can they be kind to him? From childhood to adulthood, if there is anyone who has been cursed the most in this Tokyo city, it is the current official family.
My son is dead, why are you still alive and take away the throne of your brothers? If the son dies, will the grandson have the power to fight?
The visible and invisible malice is only the official himself, and he knows it in his heart.
Xie Jingyi secretly glanced at the official family, he sat beside Ouyang Xianggong a little obediently, although he was not childish, but his back was straight, like a spring bamboo shoot that was about to break the ground.
How can a monarch who is determined to innovate really be good-tempered, but obey the orders of his courtiers?
She turned her head slightly, and continued, "You didn't have gunpowder in four places at all, you only stored it in one place, didn't you?" Concubine Cai. ”
Concubine Cai sneered, "Young man, you will suffer if you make your own decisions. If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, you won't believe it, and you'll let the city of Tokyo blow up! ”
"Really? Although Concubine Cai is a woman, she has learned a good amount of wild grass. In the account book of the firecracker workshop, who wrote Juanxiu's fly-headed Xiaokai? During this year's Shangyuan Festival, Prince Zheng's Mansion held a big meeting in the garden, inviting relatives and friends, and even passers-by to enter the courtyard to compare lights. Among them, the delphinium lantern that won the first prize is very chic. ”
"Shangyuan Festival Suzaku Street is in a mess, but the people who come to King Zheng's mansion are lucky to be safe and happy, there are many people in the capital at that time, all praise King Zheng auspicious, Feiyan announces good news. The flying swallow lantern was hung in front of King Zheng's mansion for a long time. ”
"Ah, what's so interesting about this lamp? Oh, it's a black swallow's back from a distance, and it's only when you look close that you find that the black feather is a whole Tao Te Ching written with a thin pen. Who made this lamp? ”
Xie Jingyi said, and walked a few steps towards Concubine Cai, "There is that painting, which looks like it was painted randomly, and it has four red dots, but it makes me see at a glance that it is Tokyo City!" Why do you say? It turned out to be a sub-map, and it was a microcosm of the city of Tokyo. ”
"I just happened to learn from the people of Baojin and learned the way of painting. Ordinary people don't draw like that. The city of Tokyo is so big, how can ordinary people measure it with their feet? The person who drew the map must have seen the map of Tokyo before, and after seeing and practicing it a lot, he naturally drew it. ”
"This account book even went to check Mama Yueyue, but she didn't know that there was such a thing behind the booklet. When it is peaceful, there is naturally no need to make such a picture behind it to give people a warning. Come to think of it, this painting was painted by someone after Mama Yao was arrested and Mama Lian went to the firecracker workshop overnight to transport away the gunpowder, and before we went to get the account book. ”
"I'm good at fly-headed Xiaokai, I'm used to drawing maps, I took your instructions, and during that time period, I appeared in the firecracker workshop, of course, only Concubine Cai, your dear little brother Cai Xun."
Cai Xun is the younger brother of Concubine Cai, almost 30 years younger than her, with the shadow of his ancestors, he works in the Ministry of Industry, and is especially good at drawing maps. During the Shangyuan Festival, the delphinium lantern was painted by him.
Concubine Cai's face changed greatly, and her voice was a little dry, "What happened to Cai Xun from you?" ”
Xie Jingyi laughed, "Not much, it's just that he made him a big hero who saved the people of Tokyo." Sacrificing the ego and completing the righteousness, the concubine should be happy for him! ”
Chai Youchen on the side pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard it, you can scare people! Although Cai Xun is miserable, he is still alive and well!
"You dare!" Concubine Cai stood up sharply and slapped the table.
Xie Jingyi raised his eyebrows, "Why don't I dare?" It's not my brother. Besides, you also said something wrong, didn't you say before, just ask for the life of King Zheng Jun, and everyone else can be ambushed? He's just going first, waiting for you on Huangquan Road, what's so anxious? ”
"You have sentenced your relatives to death on their own initiative, and now they are crying and pretending to be merciful, isn't it right and standing?"
As soon as the corner of Concubine Cai's mouth took a bite, blood flowed down.
"Ordinary people can't turn fireworks into firearms, otherwise, Xu Firearms would not have become your guest. Not long after you left the palace, Xu Firearms has not been serving you for long...... If you can blow up the city of Tokyo in such a short time...... So he's still an apprentice in the firearms battalion? Then we have to call him Xu Huoshen! ”
"In the case of insufficient quantities of explosives in firearms, it is impossible to spread them out and lay them in the four corners of innocence. There are only two possibilities, one is to put it in a threatening place, such as the palace, where there are many dignitaries, and the other is to put it in a place that is convenient for your subordinates to use. ”
Xie Jingyi said, sighing at Concubine Cai, "It's not that I underestimate you, if you have the ability to put explosives in the palace, what kind of red dots are you?" Wouldn't it be satisfying to blow it up directly? Then, there is only one possibility left. ”
"Chai Yushi, which general did you say before that received black money and helped King Zheng's mansion to rebel?"
Chai Youchen said expressionlessly, "Concubine Cai's brother-in-law, General Li." ”
Xie Jingyi nodded, "Well, naturally, it is placed in a place where General Li can easily get it when he lifts the rod." Of course, these are all my speculations, and it is your brother who bravely confirms my speculations, which is admirable. ”
Xie Jingyi said, took out a pair of iron beads from his arms, and turned them in his hands.
When Concubine Cai saw it, she exclaimed in surprise and took a few steps back, "Crazy, you madman!" Take this away, this one will blow up, it will blow up! ”
Xie Jingyi stretched out her hand, Concubine Cai hurriedly pulled King Zheng Jun behind her, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the official family, "Official...... The official family is here, if it is blown up, if it is blown up, you are the minister who kills the king! ”
Xie Jingyi laughed out loud and stuck out his tongue, "Look at you, you're scared, it's just two hollowed-out iron balls!" ”
As she spoke, her eyes became solemn for a moment, and she said coldly, "If you don't have that ability, what kind of sweet dreams do you have." ”
