"Is she Miss Lu?" Wang Xian asked slowly, "What's the relationship between her and Lu Jieyu?"
"They are all surnamed Lu," Jin Yingze said: "After the donation in the sixth year of Yongle, the country also donated beautiful women to the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the daughter of a businessman, Lu, was selected into the palace and named a beauty. I heard that
Because she had the same surname as Lu Jieyu, they got along well with each other, but Lu Jieyu thought she was of low status and was not happy with her. Therefore, Lu Meiren held a grudge and often had grudges against Lu Jieyu. "She said angrily: "
How can you believe what this kind of person says?"
"You mean, is there any evidence for Lu Meiren's false accusation?" Wang Xian asked.
"Is it necessary to go to this step if there is evidence?" Jin Yingze said dejectedly: "What's the use of relying on these rumors? At this time, we found out that we were being targeted by Jin Yiwei's people. I advised my cousin to forget it. He said that since Jin Yiwei was targeting
If we are attacked, there is no chance of letting us go. The reason why we are not taking action now is because we have the cover of our missionary status and we are in the capital. Once we leave the capital, the Jin Yiwei will take action."
"It's possible." Wang Xian thought about it and nodded.
"I was scared at the time and asked what to do. My cousin said that we had to give it a try." Kim Yingze said: "Later we found Cui Chengze and helped him design Dengshan. Then Cui Chengze was worried, what should I do?
I stood out at the lantern festival. My cousin is a master of painting, so we hit it off immediately. Inside the lantern mountain he designed, there were fire and salt hidden in the bamboo tubes. He said it was used for setting off cigarettes. After the demonstration once, none of us got angry.
suspect."
"That night, he suddenly said that Jin Yiwei was coming, and then lit the lantern mountain. The lantern mountain exploded at that time, igniting the whole place." Although two days had passed, Jin Yingze still remembered the scene at that time.
His face turned pale and he said: "I was frightened at the time, but my cousin held my hand and fled into the crowd first, and then he was carried away from Yuqian Street and hid in a merchant ship on the Qinhuai River. The owner of the ship
I won’t mention his name. He was completely unaware of it. We had agreed to take us out of the city at dawn. The merchant ship had a mezzanine in the bilge, so we could avoid being searched. Who would have thought that too many people died in the fire, and all nine gates of the capital were closed.
, we can only hide on the boat first."
"Originally, there was food and drink on the ship. We hid for ten days and a half, and we could always wait until the city gate opened. Unexpectedly, this afternoon, the businessman came with a notice and handed it to us without saying a word.
At first glance, it turned out that the imperial court was angry with the Koreans in Beijing and wanted to kill them all. I advised my cousin that we had become lost dogs and could not even go back to Korea, so there was no need to implicate others. My cousin was escaping from the fire.
After he came out, he was so desperate that he agreed to surrender to me without even thinking about it." Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Xiandao bitterly: "Although I didn't mean to do evil, the crime of killing thousands of people of the previous dynasty cannot be punished.
.But please keep your promise and let go of my family in North Korea."
"I'll try my best." Wang Xian looked at Mr. Jin with pity. In fact, he didn't do anything evil, but he was kind-hearted. But his soft ears caused this tragedy, and he had to pay a heavy price for it.
After taking Jin Yingze down, the guard brought a second man, Lu Chengjian. This Lu Chengjian should not be much older than Jin Yingze, but he had a unshaven beard and a downcast look. He looked more like his cousin than Jin Yingze's cousin.
The Shiwei asked Lu Chengjian to kneel down, but Lu Chengjian refused to kneel down. The Shiwei pushed him to the ground and held him down, but he still stiffened his neck, stared at Wang Xian with blood-red eyes, and glared at Wang Xian.
Seeing him like this, Wang Xian also became angry, and his anger suddenly emerged: "You are such a sinful madman, don't you have a trace of guilt?"
"Your emperor burned my sister to death and forced Li Fangyuan to kill my father and mother. Don't you have any guilt at all?" Lu Jiancheng said bitterly.
"No matter what reason you have, what have you got to do with innocent people? You killed thousands of people in a fire, how many families were broken, how many elderly people lost their support, how many parents lost their children." Wang Xian was disgusted and slammed the table.
He said: "Hate can turn you into a beast!" To be fair, Wang Xian is not a good person, and he even kills people without batting an eye. For example, the fake Zhu Migui, who didn't even know his identity, threatened to kill him whenever he was threatened.
Killing is absolutely unambiguous! But he believes in the principle that every injustice has its owner and every debt has its owner. The most despicable thing is to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Even Emperor Yongle, who in all aspects meets the standards of a heroic hero in his mind, is because of this.
In his heart, he was transformed into a tyrant, not to mention Lu Jiancheng, who came to the capital to cause tragedy.
"This is an accident," Lu Jiancheng said in a low voice after hearing this.
"You want to say that you originally wanted to set off fireworks?" Wang Xian chuckled: "Invite the master who made the fireworks for you, and I will believe you."
"I didn't want to set off fireworks. There are no fireworks that can write words." Lu Jiancheng gritted his teeth and said, "I originally wanted to assassinate Zhu Di!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was shocked. After a while, Wang Xiancai asked: "How do you want to assassinate?"
"The location of Dengshan is facing the Meridian Gate. I placed more than a dozen cannons aimed at the Wufeng Tower on the shelves of Dengshan." Lu Jiancheng said regretfully.
"Sky Cannon" Wang Xian has never heard of this thing.
"This is our secret weapon in North Korea. For the sake of confidentiality, it is not usually produced. Only the master craftsmen know the blueprints. Before my family lost power, I was the master craftsman in charge of this." Lu Jiancheng said bitterly: "The production method should have been
It’s confidential, but Li Bangyuan is also a beast, why should I keep it secret for him, so why not tell you?” Li Bangyuan is the king of North Korea, so North Korea is now also called the Lee Dynasty.
"Tell me about it," Wang Xian said curiously.
"To put it bluntly, it is simple. It is to hollow out the bamboo pole, leaving only the middle compartment, install gunpowder at both ends, and plug in the leads. But the back door at the bottom is not blocked tightly, so that after the lower layer of gunpowder explodes, it will push the overall impact
At this time, the fuse ignited the sealed upper layer, causing an explosion." Lu Jiancheng said proudly: "If you don't believe it, just use the method I told you and you will know."
"I don't care, you talk so lively." Wang Xianxin said, aren't you just a sophomore kicker? He smiled and said, "I didn't see you showing off your power that day."
These words hit Lu Jiancheng's weak point. His face immediately turned red and he said: "Who knew that your Ming Dynasty merchants had a bad conscience. The saltpeter they sold me was fake, and it caught fire without exploding."
Wang Xian and others were so sweaty that a strange thought arose in their minds. Should they find this agent and give him a gold medal for "meritorious service to the savior"?
Now that the case was completely clear, Wang Xian continued to ask, and there was basically no difference between what Lu Jiancheng said and what Jin Yingze said. Wang Xian waved his hand and motioned to take him down. He also ordered people to arrest the boatman who was harboring the two people and the person who sold them to him.
Lu Jiancheng, the owner of Gunpowder's cigarette shop, was just joking, but he still needs to be arrested.
However, Wang Xian no longer needs to worry about these trivial matters. He is currently frowning in the main hall of the private guest room of the hotel, writing a closing statement to the emperor. This is not the first time he has written this thing, and he knows the difference between sword and pen.
Li, the wording is different, the results are also very different.
How should we phrase words to grasp the emperor's emotions?
After thinking about it for an hour, Wang Xian finally decided to tell the truth. So he sat down and picked up a pen to write a memorial to the emperor. His single strokes could only be regarded as passable. Usually, such things as memorials were copied by others.
Submitted. In his draft, he described the arson case as a murder case. As a result, the emperor's prosperity caused the rocket to misfire, and the explosion turned into a combustion. In addition, it was very windy that day, which led to the explosion.
That tragedy.
Wang Xian also used a lot of pen and ink to describe the ins and outs of Jin Yingze and Lu Xiucheng, and also pointed out the suspects of the two. Wang Xian believed that with the emperor's wisdom, after calming down, it was impossible not to think about Lu Jieyu's case. In fact,
There's something fishy about it. Now Wang Xian just wants to give the emperor an excuse. If the emperor wants to investigate further, he can naturally issue an order to pursue the case. If the emperor doesn't want to investigate further, naturally nothing will happen, but it will still create a rift between the emperor and Ji Gang.
,Why not do it
After using up all the ink in his stomach and writing a memorial that was not too long, Wang Xian felt more tired than fighting a battle. He rubbed his sore and numb arms and asked, only to realize that he had written more than a full memorial.
It was already midnight. Seeing that his brothers stayed with him until midnight, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Okay, let's go home and sleep."
"It's already here, let's just spend the night here." Shuai Hui suggested, "Why bother the family when you go back?"
Everyone is looking at you with disdain because there is no one to disturb you. Everyone is in a hurry to go home and get into the hot bed of your wife!
Wang Xian was thinking about the sick Lin Qing'er, so naturally he would not stay overnight in the small hotel. When he came out of the small hotel, the sky was full of stars, the air was fresh and cold, but Wang Xian was not in the mood to enjoy this rare night, so he hurriedly
Run back to the house.
At this time, the door of the house was closed early. Wang Xian originally wanted to knock on the door gently and go in without disturbing his sleeping parents. Unexpectedly, before Zhou Yong knocked, the door opened suddenly. The servant guarding the door saw that it was him, and his face was full of joy.
Turning around, he shouted: "Master, madam, the official is back!"
"What are you calling for in the middle of the night?" Wang Xian was a little unhappy. What if he disturbed his parents and the little brother who was still nursing?
"Don't worry, sir. The master and his wife are both awake. They are waiting for the master to come back. I have good news to tell you, sir." The gatekeeper said with a smile.
"What good news?" Wang Xian was exhausted, but his spirits perked up after hearing this.
"I don't dare to chew my tongue, I'd better ask the master and his wife to tell the high officials." The servant smiled and said, "I'll ask the high officials for rewards then!"
"It depends on your mood." Wang Xian smiled, strode into the brightly lit main hall, and asked with a smile: "Mom, dad, what's the good news? I have a younger brother again?"!
