Chapter 36: Knock! Boom! Boom!
Wang Hongyu is very sure that more than one group of people have already targeted him.
The assassination failed, and only an hour had passed, and the enemy knew the situation and was ready for the follow-up.
There was a murderous gaze, just like the two people yesterday, who looked very different in the crowd.
The general life of the people in the capital is quite stable, and this group must be killers.
Walking briskly to the west, I came to a place called Luoguo Lane, where people come and go, shoulder to shoulder is very lively.
Wang Hongyu did not hesitate and swooped into the alley.
Luoguo Lane began in the Yuan Dynasty and became the residence of some yamen and wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty. In the Qianlong period of later generations, it was also renamed and called Nanluoguxiang.
He is no stranger to this place, with eight alleys to the west and eight alleys to the east. Now there are more rich and noble people living in it, and the yamen is relatively less than in the Qing Dynasty.
Wang Hongyu got in, and the people chasing behind him immediately decided to divide their troops, and a few people who seemed to be kind entered the alley, and fiercely detoured to the front to block.
After a stick of incense, Wang Hongyu walked out of a fork in the alley, shook his head and said: "Foreigners, their eyes are dark in the alleys of the capital, and the level of luxury killers is really not good~"
repeatedly assassinated himself, except for the pagoda that killed King Fu's cronies, and this raid from the tunnel, the rest of the assassinations did not cause any trouble to himself.
In a teahouse on the north side of Luoguo Lane, Wang Wenyan and Yang Lian talked and laughed.
At present, Wang An, the eunuch who is the prince's attendant and has a good reputation, and his subordinate Wang Wenyan is the military advisor of the Donglin Party and is known as a think tank.
He glanced at Wang Hongyu and smiled: "Haha, the luxury family missed, and the person Ma Wenqing found is not reliable at all~"
Yang Lian was a little displeased: "I said it, this Wang Hongyu is very annoying, but he does have some skills." ”
"After all, he is a martial artist who can deal with the luxury family, but he still has no power to fight back in front of officialdom."
As he spoke, he glanced out again, and saw Wang Hongyu smiling and waving at them.
Burst~
A sip of tea squirted out.
"You can't underestimate him."
Yang Lian patted Wang Wenyan's juniors, and when the two looked up again, Wang Hongyu had already disappeared into the crowd.
"Well, in fact, it's not us who have an enmity with him, as long as this kid doesn't trouble us anymore, we won't take the initiative to provoke him."
Wang Wenyan still has some eyesight, knowing that this kind of person may not be an outlaw.
It's better to mess with less.
Yang Lian said: "I just remember him, but he doesn't provoke us and the prince, and I won't mess with him." ”
The two decided to watch the play first, anyway, Ma Wenqing killed him first.
......
He also encountered the Shuntian Mansion and the people who patrolled the city's imperial history.
They had obviously been ordered to arrest the Sichuan soldiers, prepare to torture them, ask for something, and make up charges against Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu.
Wang Hongyu changed into a Xiucai green shirt, looked handsome, walked past them easily, and heard that they asked passers-by who looked like Sichuan people on the street.
When I finally arrived near the front door, I bumped into the luxury family again.
They had been chasing and killing Wang Hongyu for a long time, and they remembered his figure and face clearly, so they were still being watched by them.
staring at you, I don't bother to get rid of you, but I want to make you come to the capital to be happy.
The people of the luxury family have not had time to gather more people to arrange interception or assassination,
Wang Hongyu went straight to the noon gate.
"What is he going to do!?"
The killer of the luxury family was shocked, knowing that under the eyes of General Wumen Dahan, it was impossible to assassinate the target.
Don't be afraid, he can't enter the palace, and now it's too late to leave the palace, so sooner or later he has to walk back.
The extravagant assassins gathered again and arranged them at various exits nearby, not believing that he would not return.
"Hahaha~"
Wang Hongyu smiled confidently, turned to the luxury killers who still thought they were not exposed, and stretched out his hand that was clenched into a fist.
What is this for?
The heart of the fist is facing upwards, the middle finger is raised to the sky, and the eyes are squinting at the killers.
What do you mean!?
The luxury killers didn't understand what it meant, but they felt very unhappy, if it wasn't for the Forbidden City, they would have to rush up and kill him.
Wang Hongyu turned around sharply and went straight to a two-person high drum next to the noon gate.
Pick up the drumstick and bang the drum violently.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
it!
Dengwen Drum!
......
it!!
Wang Wenyan and Yang Lian directly played the tea bowl, and when they heard the scribe's report, they were directly dumbfounded.
He beat the drum!
Does he know what that means?!
Yang Lian was also shocked, this person was more daring than himself.
......
Inside the Forbidden City.
Wanli, who is already old and wears yellow luxurious clothes, is enjoying the chiming bell with a comfortable face in the imperial garden.
This large chiming clock is supported by four large brass pillars, with a small door on each side for winding and timing, and a large dial with beautiful and clear Chinese characters to indicate the time.
This large chiming bell, together with a more elaborate and beautiful small chiming bell, is a treasure that was paid tribute by Spain with the Society of Jesus more than ten years ago.
Wanli loves them very much, one is placed in the imperial garden, and the other is placed directly in the bedroom.
The pointer has been walking, time has passed quickly, and he has been an emperor for forty-eight years, although it is a long time, it is still a blink of an eye.
Time is getting faster and faster, and Wanli, who is already sick, knows that the future is not long...... But he didn't plan to be like his grandfather Jiajing, asking immortals for eternal life.
Defeated by the civilian clique...... Wanli sighed helplessly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The rumbling drums rang out just outside the Forbidden City.
The eunuchs and palace maids panicked and didn't know what was going on.
Wanli opened his eyes, this voice was too familiar, and he sounded too many people.
"Dengwen Drum!"
"Memories of forty-eight years ago!"
The sound of the drums brought Wanli back to his memories at once.
Forty-eight years ago, when I was only ten years old, my memory is very deep......
Dad didn't want his mother to ask for slaves, Zhang Juzheng beat the drum for the military situation in Guangxi.
He and his mother climbed up to the castle tower and secretly observed him.
That was the first time I met Mr. Zhang......
The thunderous drums were not hurried or slow, but they never stopped, making my mother and myself panicked...... After that, he became the emperor without his father, and Mr. Zhang became the first assistant......
48 years ago, after Zhang Juzheng beat the Dengwen drum, the drum was also beaten, but only that time left a memory that he will never forget.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The drums were still beating, and the sound was neither weak nor hurried, just like Mr. Zhang had at that time......
"Come on, first ask what case you are asking about, report it to me to know, if it is appropriate, let the three law divisions handle it well!"
"Yes!"
……
Wang Hongyu has been knocking.
Until a big fat eunuch came out with a bunch of people in the palace, he was a little surprised to see a handsome and heroic young man, and asked, "Who are you?" What's the big deal? ”
Wang Hongyu said loudly: "Wang Hongyu, the key witness in the assassination of King Fu and the key witness in the assassination of King Fu, has important information!"
