Chapter 264: The Emperor's Thoughts (2)
The courtyard was silent again, and everyone was sweating in their palms waiting for the echo below.
"Emperor!" Guo Guanseng leaned into Zhu Yunxi's ear, "If it was really a secret passage, 80% of the thieves had already begun to flee."
"But the thief is already a frightened bird. At this time, it is a fight between trapped beasts. Even if you run, you can't run far! There will always be a head for the secret passage, and it cannot be too long!"
"I want to listen to the result!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "I don't want to listen to your analysis process!"
"Yes!" Guo Guanseng said again, "We need to search here, but the sea captures in the city cannot be left behind, especially the wells of each household, and people must be sent to keep an eye on them!"
"You tell me to do it!" Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes!" Guo Guanseng immediately turned around and called on several subordinates and gave him careful advice.
Suddenly, there was a dull sound like a huge dull fart.
The yard wall not far away shook violently, and the ground quickly bulged, and then it sank into a big pit to the naked eye.
"The secret passage collapses!" A Jinyiwei shouted heart-wrenchingly.
"The sound is like gunpowder?" Chang Sheng was about to break his liver and gallbladder and stood in front of Zhu Yunxiu. "The thief actually has gunpowder?"
Zhu Yunxiu was also filled with fear. If the assassins had a firearm like thunder in his palm when they assassins threw it over directly... Then he would be really in danger today.
"No!" He felt alert again, "Since the assassin can get gunpowder, he will definitely get firearms. Muskets and cannons are strictly managed, but the grenade-like thunder in the palm of the garrisons have been transferred a lot from various places. Since there is, why don't they use it?"
"My brothers!"
The roar stopped, and He Guangyi threw himself into the collapsed earth pit, crying and digging desperately.
"My brothers!"
The secret passage collapsed, and those who went down were probably not spared. And the only clue at the moment was also cut off.
"Uncle!" Zhu Yunsheng spoke.
"exist!"
"Call two battalions of troops and dig for me along this..." Zhu Yunxiu's eyelids twitched, "Dig it out for me in secret, and dig it out for me in the Jinyiwei who was buried!" As he said that, he paused and looked around for a week. "The Jinyiwei who encountered an unexpected military merit was the first to be heard according to the death of the battle. One of his family and children would choose to join the Jinyiwei!"

"Mr. Marquis, Marquis, please wait!"
The commander of the Five City Military Command, Fan Guanghua, protected Cheng'en Marquis Zhao Sili, got out of the carriage and said with a smile, "Why are you here in person?"
Zhao Sili retreated lamely, trembling with waves of trembling, looking at the night sky that looked like daytime, and looking at the soldiers and soldiers around him, feeling scared.
Fortunately, fortunately, his errands in charge of internal defense of the capital have been handed over.
Fortunately, the prince was not with the emperor.
"Can I not come?" Zhao Sili was supported and sat down on a stone pier. "If such a big thing happened, our military officers were the first to be affected. If I don't come and see, how can I feel at ease!" Then, he said, "Brothers, please cheer up. Don't think that you are just taking action on such a big case. Whether it is the Jinyiwei or the Patrolman, they always have a place that is not as good as us!"
"The assassin dared to assassinate the emperor, he must have prepared carefully for a long time. Maybe he had been lurking in the capital. We are all local snakes, and they are very skillful and useless if they can't prepare!"
"The Jinyiwei found the assassin!" Fan Guanghua said with a smile.
He was different from ordinary martial artists. He was a martial scholar in the 13th year of Hongwu. He was promoted from the guards during the period when Zhao Sili was in charge of the capital. Because the five cities of the military officials were inevitably dealing with dignitaries and nobles, a rough man alone would not be able to do so.
"She is looking for it? Where is it?" Zhao Sili asked.
"The small courtyard at the intersection of the Housan Lane and Maoerxie Street!" Fan Guanghua smiled, "I heard that the thieves dug tunnels in that yard." He said, sighing, "The thieves are really cunning. Who would have thought that their place in the capital had actually dug tunnels... Alas, it's really a long time since the thief... "
"You wait a moment! Authentic?" Zhao Sili suddenly stood up, thoughtful, and then hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up, call Hou Er here, hurry up!"
As his name suggests, Hou and the other two had sharp mouths, monkey cheeks, deer heads and rat eyes, and their eyes were bulging without two taels of flesh on their bodies.
"Mr. Marquis!" When Hou Er saw Zhao Sili, he ran over and cried, "You have to save the villain! The villain has been following you since he was a member of the service!"
"Shut up!" Zhao Sili's head buzzed and she grabbed Hou Er's collar, "I'll ask you, Maoerxiong Street is your area, don't you know that thieves are digging tunnels so big?"
"Good Marquis! I don't know how to go!" Hou Er cried, "That piece is all private houses, and there is no such thing as good as the daily life... Nothing is wrong, who can pay attention..."
"You damn it, a waste!" Zhao Sili cursed, "You care about that, don't you know about the face?"
"The villain walks around the street every day, and has never seen a stranger..."
"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Sili cursed again, "The thief dug the tunnel over there and must have to transport the soil out. It is not a little bit of soil, it is a truck by car, and it is not a day or two. You don't notice it at all?"
"Little man..." Hou Er cried, "Everyone said there are private houses over there, except for the daily dung trucks..."
"Wait!" Zhao Sili interrupted him suddenly.
Hou Er was stunned at first, and then jumped three feet high, "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered it. When I was eating roast duck at the street, I happened to see the manure truck passing by. I was thinking, why are you leaving the manure truck soon? Isn't it all in the morning?"
"And..." Hou Er's eyes turned, "I told the brothers below that these people were really good at work, and the manure truck was not smelling!"
Zhao Sili's face was full of ferociousness, "Who will the manure truck over there?"
"It was originally Bai Wu outside the city..." Hou Er thought about it, "Later, someone from above spoke and gave a group of foreigners named Chen Tai." As he said, he said, "The villain has seen that guy, with a strange tone and a big tongue. He also... He also honored the villain with five silver dollars..."
Bang!
Zhao Sili slapped him in the face.
It sounds bad to transport manure, but there is indeed a business of oil and water among the people. The people who transport manure in the capital earn more than the coolies at the docks. Such business operations must be done in the government office. In addition, they have to pay money to the government regularly. For this business, several of the feces gangs will be injured every year.
It sounds strange that a group of foreigners can take over the manure transport in a street to make a living.
Moreover, the manure transport truck is the car that officials are most reluctant to check. When they see it, they can't help but turn their heads and pretend that they didn't see it.
The incident happened, it was not a commercial area with good and easy access.
Thinking of the assassins dug up the tunnels and pretending to transport manure to deliver soil...
"Hou Er!" Zhao Sili's lips were trembling and his face was heavy.
"Mr. Marquis! You give me instructions!"
"Who said hello? Let those people from outsiders transport feces?" Zhao Sili asked.
"I asked, I heard that it was the head of the inspection department and the head of the administration department!" Hou Er said tremblingly.
"Xiao Fan!" Zhao Sili said again.
Fan Guanghua also became solemn, "Marty, I will listen to you!" (This man has a good son)
"Catch it first!" Zhao Sili said coldly, "I'm responsible for taking the wrong arrest!"
"Marty!" Fan Guanghua lowered his voice, "The emperor had just been assassinated, and they must have been working in their jurisdiction! What if... if they know the inside story or..., they are involved, or they know the whereabouts of the thieves, and they are going to take people over and alert the enemy, who knows that they have no other accomplices hidden?"
"Yes, my heart is in chaos!" Zhao Sili slapped his forehead and said quickly, "Send someone to tell He Guangyi, commander of the Jinyiwei, and tell him the only one of them if you mention my name!"
"Yes!" Fan Guanghua simply agreed, pulled someone over and gave him solemn advice.
The man ran away like a flying man.
"Then... the group of people transporting feces?" Fan Guanghua whispered again, "Marty, do you think..."
"I'm still waiting!" Zhao Sili felt a little confused.
Fan Guanghua looked at the people around him quietly and pulled Zhao Sili to a place where no one was. "Marty, you have a great achievement!" As he said, he paused, "You can take great achievements for the rest of your life!"
Suddenly, Zhao Sili's heart became warm.
It’s nothing to catch the wrong person, a group of people who transported the manure were killed without asking too much questions.
But if you catch it right, it would be a shocking achievement.
Although he is now a great minister in the Zhao family, who thinks he has made too much credit?
At this moment, Zhao Sili remembered his son who was far away in Myanmar, as well as the prince and queen in the palace.
"My Cao's damn..." Zhao Sili cursed in her heart.
If the emperor really encounters an unexpected situation today, it is true that his grandson can ascend the throne and become the emperor, but can the throne be stable?
"Can your people work?" Zhao Sili asked.
"There are sixty or seventy who have seen blood!" Fan Guanghua grinned.
Zhao Sili waved, "Let me find a powerful bow for help!" and shouted at Hou Er, "Can you find the group of foreigners who transported manure?"
"They must go to Nancheng!" Hou Er's eyes shone brightly, "When they took over this business, the villain had read their settlement documents and was in Nancheng!"
"Let's go!" Zhao Sili beat his lame leg and said, "Get me catch someone!"
