Since the Song Dynasty, silk weaving and spinning workshops have been scattered in Baodemen, Hangzhou.
Here, the sound of looms is heard from each other, and is an important production area for "Hangfang".
Gao Yu walked along the way and almost passed through half of the Hangzhou city. Along the way, patrolling officers and soldiers could be seen everywhere, and people from the government broke into the house to catch people. The scene was very tragic, with crying echoing over Hangzhou.
In the direction of Qingxi Pavilion, fires soar into the sky.
When Tang Fengshi walked across Meijia Bridge, he turned his head and looked towards Qingxi Pavilion, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
Because he knew that Qingxi Pavilion would no longer exist after tonight.
"Brother Third, where are we going?"
"It's coming soon!"
Tang Fengshi answered and led the two into a remote alley.
The alley is deep, the ground is wet and a little slippery. At this time, it was the darkest moment before dawn. The three of them walked in the alley, one step deep and one step shallow, and soon came outside the gate of a workshop.
Tang Fengshi looked around, went forward and opened the door, pushed it in and opened it.
"This was originally a silk spinning workshop, but it was closed later.
It has been vacant for ten years, and no one comes over on weekdays. Sometimes I come here, and no one knows it except Brother Fang Qi."
There are dozens of spinning machines in the workshop, which seems to be quite large at the beginning.
"Hangfang is famous all over the world. I only heard that I made profits from Hangzhoufang, but I rarely heard that anyone went bankrupt.
This workshop is quite large. Logically speaking, business should be prosperous, so why would it go bankrupt?"
Gao Yu and Wu Song followed Tang Fengshi, walked through the workshop and came to the backyard.
Tang Fengshi stopped, turned his head to look at Gao Yu and said, "Brother Jiu only knows one thing, not the other. Ten years ago, the business was indeed booming here. But later... the owner of this workshop offended the Cai family and had to close the workshop."
"Cai Family?"
Tang Fengshi seemed not to want to discuss this issue, so he led them around a house.
This house should be the owner of the workshop and where he lived.
After Tang Fengshi arrived at the room, he lifted a wooden lid in the corner of the wall, revealing a dark hole.
He took out a fire note and two candles from the windowsill under the eaves. After lit it, he handed it to Gao Yu. He took one and walked into the cave first. Gao Yu and Wu Song looked at each other and followed Tang Fengshi in.
When they entered the dark cave, they found that there was another world in the dark cave.
Half-squatted through a corridor, he came to a secret room... In this secret room, there were beds and tables, and various pieces of items were placed. Tang Fengshi used candles to light the oil lamp on the wall, and the light in the secret room suddenly became much brighter.
"This is……"
"Hehe, I like to tinker with some firearms on weekdays, this is where I make firearms."
Tang Fengshi spoke, pulled out two stools and handed them to Gao Yu and the others, and then took out a set of tea sets from the corner and placed them in front of them.
He lit the stove and started boiling water.
Gao Yu also sat down and looked around the secret room.
The space in this secret room is quite large and not stuffy at all. It is obviously a special air circulation design.
"This is also designed by Brother San?"
"Um!"
Tang Fengshi found some tea and started making tea.
While he was busy, he said, "I also felt a little restless today, so I slept very late at night.
Later, the government suddenly sent people to surround Qingxi Pavilion and arrest people everywhere. Seeing that the situation was not good, I hid and escaped from Qingxi Pavilion through a secret passage. After I escaped from Qingxi Pavilion, I wanted to ask Zhu Biao for help... But later, I found that among the officers and soldiers, there were several Zhu Biao's confidants, and I knew that this matter was probably done by Zhu Biao."
"There are more than forty days left before August fifteenth."
Gao Yu couldn't help but say, "Zhu Biao turned against him? Moreover, even if he turned against him, there is no need to fight like this."
Tang Fengshi said: "It should have nothing to do with that money."
"oh?"
"I don't know Zhu Biao's intentions yet, nor do I know what happened today. Whether Zhu Biao was the leader or Zhao Ting was the leader.
Anyway, things happened so suddenly that I couldn't understand the reason for it.
But I have a premonition that the government's actions this time should not be simple... Let's hide it first and find a way after dawn."
Gao Yu could see that Tang Fengshi was not an excuse.
He probably didn't know the reason, otherwise he could find a way to solve it instead of hiding like this...
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
Could it be that the court's action?
+
The three of them hid in the secret room for a whole day. After dark, Tang Fengshi took a simple makeup and went outside to inquire about the news.
This should be a secret base of Tang Fengshi.
There was tea and plenty of wine and food reserves inside.
"Brother Jiu, this Tang Fengshi's preparations are comprehensive."
"Well, the more this happens, the more it means that they have a lot of plans."
Gao Yu said, and walked to a table.
The table was filled with utensils and various materials. He glanced at the table and immediately saw that the utensils and materials on it were all used to refine gunpowder and make firearms. In connection with some of Tang Fengshi's previous words, Gao Yu developed an enlightenment: Could the firearms of Qiu Miaofa's previous ones be made by Tang Fengshi?
He stood in front of the table and carefully looked at the materials on the table.
Gao Yu, who has advanced gunpowder specialization skills, becomes more and more frightened the more he looks... Could this Tang Fengshi be a genius?
Gao Yu's gunpowder specialization skills come from the time cicada.
But this guy... Gao Yu discovered that the gunpowder that Tang Fengshi was developing was extremely similar to the explosive powder he used to create the sky thunder. In other words, it was the prototype of the explosive powder, but its formula was not very perfect.
If you follow the formula developed by Tang Fengshi now, it can also achieve the effect of thunder bombing, but its performance is unstable.
As long as he determines the material ratio data inside, it will basically be a recipe for explosive powder...
There are such talents in the Mingjiao?
Gao Yu became more and more frightened as he looked at it, but he did not touch any items on the table.
He knew that people like Tang Fengshi must have a deep memory of the items on his desk. As long as there are any minor changes, he can perceive and discover them. Therefore, it is best not to touch them, and Tang Fengshi also warned him before leaving.
"Brother Jiu, now we need to contact the government?"
Wu Song sat at the entrance of the secret room, paying attention to the movement outside while asking Gao Yu about his ideas.
Gao Yu straightened his waist and sat down next to Wu Song.
He thought for a while and said softly: "Second brother, wait and see."
"What are you waiting for?"
"The government's operation was abrupt and I was caught off guard.
The Ming Cult has a lot of plans. According to the principle, the court should act cautiously, but now it is a sudden move, which is suspected of being a warning to the enemy. I want to figure out what happened... I think this action is a bit reckless."
"Reckless?"
"Um!"
Gao Yu was about to explain, but Wu Song suddenly stood up, flipped his wrist, and appeared in his hand with a sharp knife.
"Someone!"
He made an action and Gao Yu immediately understood.
Standing up, Gao Yu turned around and blew out the oil lamp at the entrance of the secret room, then hid on the other side of the secret room, looking out.
Chapter completed!
