The sudden appearance of criminal activity shattered the peace of Datong Province.

A discerning person can see at a glance that this is an action specifically aimed at the Acting Prince's Mansion, and as for who it is, it is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise of the wise.

Xu Yingxu received the news and immediately sent additional manpower to inspect Datong Mansion.

The beating of road construction workers has not decreased, but has become more rampant.

Naturally, the people were filled with righteous indignation, not only beating them, but also harming their interests.

However, the acting royal palace was unusual, and in the face of this situation, it did not issue a notice as usual, not even a word of condemnation, but only recruited doctors to treat the injured in time.

This made the squires and wealthy families in the city feel that the little prince was frightened.

Although this acting king has a 'notoriety' in Nanjing, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven after all, and naturally no one dares to make a move against him, the prince.

But Datong Mansion is different, and the local forces will not supply him.

As a result of the fruitful actions of the Salt Gang in the past few days, the radicals have completely overwhelmed the conservatives.

In their opinion, they don't have to wait for the holy decree to arrive, they can let this little prince know who is the boss in Datong Mansion.

Especially the one-eyed dragon, this guy not only beat people, but even attacked a canteen set up by the king's mansion and ransacked the warehouse there.

"Big brother, look at it, this little prince really has some means, it is said that these vegetables are a specialty of Jiangnan, he actually took them out for those soil buns to eat, if you want to say that there is no master behind him, I will pull my head off."

The cyclops holds a basket of vegetables, including bamboo shoots and eggplant.

These are all exchanged by Zhu Gui from the system store, originally it was just a trial planting in the palace of the king, but he didn't expect that the vegetables produced by the system not only have a large output but also a short harvest period, so he provided some of them to the Chamber of Commerce, and the rest were used as food for laborers.

In the face of the achievements of the Salt Gang, Hu Shidao was not happy at all.

"Why do you want to privately mobilize manpower to oppose the Acting Palace?" Hu Shidao said with a calm face.

"Big brother, isn't this all for the salt gang, now our manpower has run out of one-third, and if it continues like this, people's hearts will be scattered."

The one-eyed dragon said indignantly.

"The Salt Gang is scattered, we can do other business, and the king of that generation has gathered all the small merchants in the city and cooperated with them to form a chamber of commerce, which is also our opportunity."

Hu Shidao has his own ideas.

"Doing business? Big brother, you're not kidding, are you? Our salt gang is doing this day of licking blood on the knife edge, although the price of salt is very suppressed now, but it is all because of the king, as long as we can let him know that we are powerful, we can still ......"

"That's enough."

The one-eyed dragon gushed his thoughts, but was interrupted by Hu Shidao.

"Your wings are stiff now, and someone supports you, you don't take me as a helper in your eyes, in this case, from today onwards, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge."

Hu Shidao said loudly.

His words directly made everyone in the Salt Gang present dumbfounded.

Obviously, the current situation is very good, why did the helper suddenly propose to split the family?

This has never happened since the establishment of the Salt Gang.

After saying this, Hu Shidao turned around and entered the inner hall directly, leaving only the one-eyed dragon with a gloomy face.

The reason why Hu Shidao did this was naturally because he had his own plans.

Even if that generation of kings is really a soft persimmon, but the salt gang offends the Ming royal family, it is not worth the loss, once the incident happens, the fall of the salt gang is only a matter of blink of an eye.

And now that things have happened, even if the one-eyed dragon is expelled from the Salt Gang, what he did will be counted on the Salt Gang.

So instead of wandering on the edge of a cliff, it is better for a strong man to break his wrist.

After doing all this, Hu Shidao immediately repaired a book and sent someone to the palace of the king.

That's right, he just drew a line with the one-eyed dragon on this side, and on the other side, he wanted to hug the thigh of the Dai Wangfu.

Acting royal mansion.

Xu Yingxu pushed the door in with a gloomy face, and the guard at the door stretched out his hand, looking like he wanted to say something.

However, he didn't find Zhu Gui in the mansion, which made him frown.

"It turned out to be General Xu, who came to find the prince, right? He's in the back mountain. ”

Steward Wang walked in and said.

"What are you doing in the back mountains? What about the princess? ”

Xu Yingxu asked puzzled.

"I heard that it was a test of a new firearm, and the princess and the prince were together."

Steward Wang explained.

New firearms?

One of the reasons Xu Yingxu heard that the acting king had been driven from Nanjing to the feudal domain was because he was pushing new firearms to the current emperor above the court.

He thought that the other party would have a better memory, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

If it weren't for something important, he really didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

Xu Yingxu came to the camp in the mountains behind Datong Mansion, where most of the original salt dealers and their families were now settled, as if they had the scale of a village or town.

These people all had smiles on their faces, as if life was not bad.

There would be a 'bang' sound in the distance from time to time, but these people were used to it.

When Xu Yingxu found Zhu Gui, he was teaching Princess Xu Miaoqing how to use a flintlock pistol.

With a bang, a fist-sized stone standing on a tree stump twenty feet away shattered.

"Okay, I hit." Xu Miaoqing almost jumped up with joy.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Xu Yingxu with a surprised face.

"Second brother, why are you here?"

Zhu Gui also looked at this side, and then handed the flintlock pistol to the guards next to him and asked them to continue practicing.

He had been here for the past few days training the ten soldiers in the use of flintlock pistols.

Although he knew what was happening in Datong Mansion, he felt that the time had not yet come, and he had only 100 flintlock pistols in his hands, and if he couldn't finish the battle, he would be in constant trouble.

Xu Yingxu seemed to have forgotten his original purpose, he pointed to the flintlock pistol in the hand of the soldier and said to Zhu Gui: "His Royal Highness the Acting King, this is a new type of firearm?" ”

Zhu Gui didn't hide it, and said: "Yes, this is the flintlock pistol improved by this king, compared with the traditional fire gun of the Ming Dynasty, the rate of fire and power have been greatly improved, but it is not easy to make them, and it is not possible to change them all at present." ”

The flintlock pistols were all redeemed from the system shop, but the price was higher than the experience value of the pistol, and he didn't think he had full control over the soldiers, so even if he could exchange enough flintlock pistols, he wouldn't give them all the reloads for the time being.

At present, the flintlock pistol is more deterrent than its actual power.

Xu Yingxu showed pity on his face, he saw that the soldier fired three shots before hitting the target, and he was a little itchy for a while.

"I don't know why General Xu came this time?" Zhu Gui's words interrupted his thoughts.
