"The assassin from last time came to assassinate Hou Ye again!"

As soon as Shi Daxuan returned to Nanjing City, he heard about the assassination of Wei Liangdong, and it was still the last time that the three women and the broken flower spear Xiang Siwen took the lead. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If He Chong hadn't happened to be there, Wei Liangdong would have been unable to escape this time, Rao was like this, or twenty brocade guards died, Wei Liangdong was furious, and Nanjing City was in a loud voice, and more than 300 people were arrested in one go.

The Criminal Department, the Military Department, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, a total of more than a dozen officials were dismissed.

However, Chang Wei benefited from this incident.

The last time he was assassinated, Chang Wei tried to save him, and then Wei Liangdong Bao Changwei became the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, specially used to arrest the murderer, but he was dismissed by Tian Ergeng. So, Wei Liangdong sent his anger to Tian Ergeng, wrote several letters one after another, scolded Tian Er Bloody, and wrote to Wei Zhongxian to investigate Tian Ergeng's dismissal.

Wei Zhongxian naturally would not dismiss Tian Ergeng, but in this way, Chang Wei's Beizhen envoy was retained.

Hearing the news, Chang Wei felt a ridiculous feeling in his heart, "The order for dismissal has not yet been delivered, and now that the official has been reinstated, if Chu Tiankuo knows about this, he is afraid that he will vomit blood in anger." ”

Shi Daxuan said: "Hou Ye asked your Excellency to go back to Nanjing immediately to hunt down the assassins, this time Hou Ye is really angry." ”

The arrest of the assassin was urgent, and Chang Wei hurriedly met with his second brother Chang Tong and asked about the Volunteer Battalion.

The work of the musket workshop is going well, but due to the current limited manpower and materials, only ten flintlock muskets can be made in a day, and the artillery workshop is progressing slowly and is still being tested.

The steel and other materials used to make guns are currently provided by the Shen family, who are mainly engaged in trade, and are also engaged in handicraft manufacturing, printing and dyeing, papermaking, printing, and shipping, and are not good at smelting, so the materials still need to be purchased. When the Longyou Gang starts supplying, the production of guns will definitely not be a problem.

The recruitment went most smoothly, Huang Chongyao and his cousin Huang Chongwen, Huang Chongwu recruited nearly 10,000 Ding Zhuang in Danyang County.

Huang Chongwu's martial arts in the middle of last year did not have any missing official positions that could be filled, so he came to help for the time being.

This man behaved in a very orderly manner, and the men he screened seemed to be ordinary, but in fact they were all poor hunters and fishermen, skilled in bows and arrows, had touched knives and guns, were bold and in good health, most of them were common blood, and many of them had fought with pirates, thieves, and bandits.

Nearly 10,000 people, led by 300 soldiers from the Genshin Machine Battalion, trained the queue together, although the number exceeded 5,000 people, but the rest could be used as logistics and reserves.

Chang Wei doesn't care, anyway, it's just an expense of more than five thousand taels of silver a month.

The dividends given by Shen Kuang last time have not been spent, and now the Seven Seas Alliance is already being improved, once the Shuangyu Port base is built, the silver will definitely be too much to spend. Not to mention the profits from making guns and cannons in the future. In addition, Chang Wei has countless things in his mind that are ahead of the times, as long as he has time, he can tinker with a little bit of it, it is an extremely profitable business, so the expenses of more than 5,000 taels a month are nothing at all.

"Dauntless, it's good if you come back, you must help me kill those bastards clean up this time!" Wei Liangdong really suffered a big loss this time, several ribs were broken, and his legs were also broken, so he could only lie on the bed and be ruthless.

"Don't worry, I will never let them go!" Letting Wan Shitong, who was traveling with him, stay behind to help Wei Liangdong treat his injuries, Chang Wei hurriedly rushed to the yamen of the Criminal Department to discuss countermeasures with He Chong.

The south gate of the Imperial City of Nanjing is Hongwu Gate, the door is the thousand-step corridor of the north-south direction, there are continuous corridor houses built on both sides, from south to north, the two sides behind the thousand-step corridor are the official office of "five departments and six mansions".

Outside the Imperial City, Chang Wei went out of the Donghua Gate, rode a horse and ran outside the east wall of the palace for an hour to reach the Taiping Gate between Jilong Mountain and Fuzhou Mountain, and then changed boats to row across the Zhonghu Lake at the western foot of Zhongshan Mountain.

Passing through two quiet alleys, I finally saw the yamen of the criminal department sitting in the north and facing south, and the front and back of this large courtyard are five into the eaves arch bucket, carved beams and painted buildings. The dark cyan glazed tiles on the roof reflect the solemn color under the eyes, symbolizing the solemnity and solemnity of the punishment.

Walking through most of the alleys, the gate of the criminal department wrapped in vermilion lacquer and copper nails has already appeared in sight.

There was a horizontal alley in the middle of the tall alley wall, forming a crossroads, and a few catchers in public uniforms were drinking iced sour plum soup around a stall under the shade of a tree, and Chang Wei heard them talking in a low voice as he approached.

"Alas, this damn assassin doesn't know where to go, and our brothers are all over the city. ”

"This group of people is too high in martial arts, even if we can find it, it will be for nothing. ”

"What are you afraid of?"

"But no, I heard that Lord Chang is coming back soon, with these two adults here, what assassin can't deal with?"

Hearing this, Chang Wei felt slightly proud in his heart. Now in Nanjing City, except for the eunuch faction, the rest of the nobles, the officials of the six ministries, and the people of Shengdou all have a very good opinion of Chang Wei, which is because of his strong performance in the face of Wei Liangdong and the meritorious service of destroying the Church of the Virgin Mary.

"Ah, big official, let's have a bowl of chilled sour plum soup to relieve the heat. When Chang Wei walked by, the proprietress of the food stall took two quick steps and came up to solicit him.

Chang Wei's eyes lit up, "What a Peugeot little lady!"

This woman is in her thirties, and although she is dressed ordinarily, she can't hide her sultry style.

Chang Wei said: No need, I still have something.

"Now is the time to eat, and the adults in the yamen also have to rest, right? The big officials eat a bowl of herbal tea, and they can't delay things. ”

The little lady grabbed Chang Wei's hand, dragged him towards the stall, and said affectionately: "The big official is going to the criminal department, right? ”

It was indeed lunch time, and Chang Wei had just come back from Zhenjiang, and he had ridden a horse for another hour, and he was indeed a little tired, and when he saw the delicious sour plum soup index finger moved, he said, "Okay!"

"Ouch, Cheng Niangzi, do you dare to arrange Lao Tzu? I can't spare you. The one on the stall quickly stood up, and reached out to touch the full bulge on Cheng Niangzi's chest.

"Phew! I came to take advantage of the old lady again, don't mess around in front of the big officials. "It seems that this Cheng Niangzi and the catchers are acquaintances, and they flirt with each other in words and actions, and they don't take it seriously.

"That's not possible, you arranged us, and the brothers will use you to extinguish the fire today!" the other three catchers also surrounded them in a daze.

Cheng Niangzi beckoned Chang Wei to sit down, and shouted to the room inside, "Li'er, Qing'er, come out and greet the big officials, I want to send these scoundrels." ”

Chang Wei saw that there was a small courtyard behind the big tree, and there were several tables in it, and two girls with green onions and tender water were talking to four boys and brothers at the table.

Chang Wei smiled: "Cheng Niangzi, your family is all beautiful, I have walked here twice before, why haven't I seen it." ”

"Look at the demeanor of the big officials are nobles, so do you care about us?" The pity in the back room, Qing'er came out with broken steps, and said: "This shop was only set up in the summer, what do the big officials want to eat? Chilled sour plum soup or cold noodles?"

The catcher who surrounded Cheng Niangzi laughed, "Naturally, I eat you two sisters." ”

Li'er, Qing'er was not angry, but said: "Clean nonsense, big officials don't look down on us." ”

How can this kind of bold and hot woman not flirt with her?

Chang Wei said with a pun, "Then eat a double!"

"Hahaha, Miao Miao, double is good!" The three or four catchers saw that Chang Wei was a fellow practitioner, and turned around to sit with him.

"Double your mother's head!" Cheng Niangzi feigned anger and stretched out her hand to hit the head of the catcher.

"The big officials are so bad!" "Li'er, Qing'er also reached out and grabbed Chang Wei's sleeve to be coquettish, and the sisters' newly developed breasts squeezed their arms, which had a different style.

Just when Chang Wei's heart was dark, suddenly, a sharp cold light flashed under the sleeves of the two sisters, and the original fake anger and anger were also full of ridicule, and Miaoman's delicate body was full of murderous energy.

In an instant, the startled Chang Wei was cold, "Assassin!"
