Chapter 313 The new artillery weapon is cheaper than Xiao Tang
In the hustle and bustle of Bianliang City in Tokyo, a small number of citizens are looking for a place to eat wine and drink tea. Bursts of laughter and laughter can be heard from restaurants, teahouses and tile houses on the long street. Tianlai Novel
However, the prosperity of the capital in the past had little to do with Ling Zhen, who had to study artillery manufacturing all day long. Now that he was framed and dismissed, he could only leave Bianjing sadly with his mother and wife.
At this time, Ling Zhen looked tired, his eyes were empty and lifeless, and the wheelbarrow he was pushing with both hands made a creaking sound. His old mother was sitting in the car with a hunched body, and his wife followed behind with a baggage containing only some old clothes.
Next to Ling Zhen, in the bustling Bianjing, the three of them only looked particularly desolate.
"My son was promoted to deputy director not long ago, but he was dismissed so quickly..."
Ling Zhen's mother suddenly let out a long sigh. Two days ago, a team of police officers rushed into Ling Zhen's home. They smashed, smashed, and looted. The valuable items in the home were confiscated and destroyed. She was so frightened.
Ling Zhen's mother had just recovered a little while ago, but this honest old woman never thought that although her son was not good at dealing with people, he was always conscientious in his duties in the military prison. What a pity, Ling Zhen finally got the chance a few days ago.
During the pacification of Jingxi's crusade against Fangshan, the artillery and firearms he operated performed miraculous feats and he was promoted.
But the good times didn't last long. An official document came from the palace commander's office, complaining directly about Ling Zhen and the siege team.
He also didn’t have many friends, so when faced with the pressure of Taiwei Gao Qiu, no one from the weapons supervisor to the military superintendent, the military prime minister, and even the clerks and clerks came to defend Ling Zhen, which made the No. 1 official in the Song Dynasty.
The gunner was stripped of his official status and expelled from Beijing.
Hearing his mother sigh, Ling Zhen's face showed guilt and anger. If you want to accuse him, why bother? Not only did he concentrate on the improvement of the Song Dynasty's weapons, after Xiao Tang had a long talk with him that day, and after a long period of hard work,
Studying Ling Zhen's research on the power and range of trebuchets has made rapid progress. Overjoyed, Ling Zhen was about to submit the drawings of a new type of artillery similar to the "return cannon" that he had developed to the Ordnance Supervision. Unexpectedly, Gao Qiu had already
It hurt him in advance.
Although Ling Zhen didn't like socializing, he was not stupid and dull. He knew that he was not good at catering to Shangguan, and he had close contacts with Xiao Tang, who was not on good terms with the palace commander Taiwei. So Gao Qiu wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so he killed him.
He was stripped of his official status and driven out of Beijing. To the senior military officials, he was nothing more than a counselor and deputy director who was responsible for siege operations and gunpowder operations under the Ordnance Supervision. It would be difficult to get rid of him.
Easy to do?
But how will I be asked to support my mother and support my family in the future? Gao Qiu is so vicious. Although he never wants to kill me, he is forcing me to a dead end... Ling Zhen thought angrily in his heart, if
He is indeed a leader in making and using cannons, but his ability to use and make such weapons has become a useless dragon-slaying skill among the people. Apart from some martial arts, Ling Zhen has no knowledge of farming, and his temperament is also bad.
He is not good at dealing with people and relies on business to make a living... Now that he is in poverty, how can Ling Zhen maintain his family's livelihood?
Ling Zhen was in a state of despair when he came face to face with several drunken drinkers. They staggered and stumbled in front of him and bumped into Ling Zhen's shoulder. Ling Zhen, who was full of thoughts, did not take any precautions and controlled the wheelbarrow.
As soon as his hands slipped, the wheelbarrow immediately tipped to one side. Ling Zhen's mother, who was sitting in the car, screamed and was about to fall from the wheelbarrow to the ground.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over. He held the wheelbarrow with one hand and Ling Zhen's mother who almost fell down with the other hand, and said gently: "Be careful, don't hurt yourself, this naughty girl."
Ling Zhen, who had regained his composure, was about to thank the man, but when he saw the handsome man's face clearly, he couldn't help but said in shock: "Huh? Isn't this Xiao Yi brother from Xiao Renxia's house?"...
.
At the same time, there was a fifth small building to the east of Banmen in Bianliang, Tokyo.
"Wuna! How could your man give up after beating my brother to death!?" More than a dozen gangsters surrounded the two small buildings next to the Tutu Temple.
They were surrounded from the front and back of the building. Under the leadership of a rogue, they uttered obscene words and insulted the Xu Ning family members who had closed the door of the building.
A rogue yelled and cursed again: "That's right! Your husband-in-law deserves to die too! Since he killed our brothers, how can we get less for the settlement expenses, funeral expenses, etc.? If human life is at stake, ten thousand gu from you is not too much, right?
?As long as the little lady makes us brothers happy, maybe I can spare you some time!"
The other scoundrels immediately started making noises. Their mouths were dirty. Sometimes they insulted Mrs. Xu with filthy and filthy words, and sometimes they spoke frivolously and rudely. They only wanted to tease women from good families. At this time, most of Xu Ning's family were female servants. How could they interact with her?
Are these nasty and scoundrel disputes habitual? Because Xu Ning was still imprisoned in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, the deeply shocked Madam Xu almost had a fetus. She could only lie on the bed and listen to the shameless people outside the building.
The scoundrel insulted himself with words.
"You guys who are looking for death are so talented that you have grown up, and you dare to come here to arouse my anger!"
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting sharply, and there was a big man with a stern face and thirty or forty followers who cheered and surrounded the gangsters. The dozen gangsters were about to yell, but they saw the leader clearly.
The faces of the people were immediately pale with fear, and all of them were as straight as arrows piercing the beak of a goose, hooking the gills of a fish, and the cruel words that rushed to the mouth were swallowed back into the stomach.
My dear! This desperate man Shi Xiu who came here is now the most ruthless and poisonous person in the capital! Niu Er and Wang Qing will most likely die in his hands. If they flirt with him and stir up trouble, don't they think we are dissatisfied?
Life is too long!?
Shi Xiu's face was grim, and his pair of fierce moves swept over a dozen rogues. Every rogue who was stared at by him was shocked to the point of sweating and looking worried.
"I, Shi Xiu, don't have many hobbies on weekdays. In my spare time, I like to feed the fish and shrimps in the capital's Bian River..." Shi Xiu suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and said word by word in a subtle way: "
If I see you harassing Coach Xu Ning’s family again, I will chop up your flesh piece by piece and feed it to the fish!”
Those ruffians hurriedly leaned over to accuse, but Shi Xiu suddenly glared and shouted sternly: "Get out!"
After the dozen or so thugs were so frightened that they crawled away, Shi Xiu walked straight to the small building and said loudly: "My brother knows that the Xu family's wife is about to give birth, whether it is to get rid of the boys who come to harass her, or to invite
Mrs. Wen delivered the baby to Mrs. Xu, and my elder brother, Xiao, had already informed the brothers to come and take care of her. Mrs. Xu, don’t worry about Coach Xu, my elder brother will also ask someone to take care of her."...
"The prosecutor of Kaifeng Prefecture also knows why Coach Xu beat the gangster to death out of anger. The gangster family has no culprits. There are only a group of gangsters who are making noise with that guy. I am afraid that they are also under the instructions of Gao Taiwei's minions...
..."
In Xiao Tang's mansion, Xu Guanzhong said to Xiao Tang again: "But with Brother Shi Xiu taking action, it is not difficult to change the lawsuit against Coach Xu to a lighter one. After three rounds of pushing and asking, it only resulted in a moment of fighting and killing."
, it is okay to inadvertently injure people's lives. There are also Sun Buddha's sons and grandsons in the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen who are well-sighted. Although they can be exempted from the death penalty, they will only be punished by being sent to the army."
Xiao Tang nodded and asked again: "Xuanzan, what is the situation at Wen Huanzhang's side?"
Xu Guanzhong sighed slightly and replied to Xiao Tang: "Xuan Baoyi is a fierce person, how can he be willing to endure such a frame-up? He has resigned from the military and left the capital, heading north to Xizhou to join Guan Shengdu prison."
Xuanzan and Guan Sheng were brothers and they often helped each other. He knew that Gao Qiu and I were at a disadvantage in the battle with the imperial guards in the capital, so he went to Xizhou to join Guan Sheng. Hao Siwen continued to seek a career in the army, but also in
As expected...
At this moment, Xiao Jiasui also walked into the hall. He reported to Xiao Tang: "Young Master, I sent a letter to Xi Sheng and the Teng brothers at Funiu Mountain and Xiong'er Mountain in Dengzhou. I heard that Zhisou was in Rangzhou, Dengzhou.
When the county is sent to Salmon Island, they will rob people on the road, and there is no expectation that anything will go wrong."
Not long after Wen Huanzhang, a very famous scribe, returned to his official career, he was wrongly accused and sentenced to exile in the army. I am afraid that now he can see through this chaotic officialdom with treacherous clouds and treacherous people...
This Wen Zhisou was suppressed and persecuted one after another. In the original work, when the heroes of Liangshan defeated Gao Qiu three times, Wen Huanzhang, who originally assisted Gao Qiu, had a change of heart. At Song Jiang's request, he was willing to write and edit books to help Song Jiang gain access to the capital.
Instead, he assisted Liangshan in promoting the recruitment. Now that he is being persecuted even more severely by Gao Qiu, it will not be difficult for him to be willing to help him in the green forest.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. From Lin Chong, Yang Zhi to Xu Ning, Wen Huanzhang, these people are all people who have endured humiliation in order to survive in the officialdom, but now they are either waiting to be killed because of Gao Qiu's suppression.
Or I will be forced to die... Do I still need to thank Gao Qiu to some extent?
"I'm afraid that when Coach Xu Ning and Mr. Wen Huanzhang are being matched, Gao Qiu will try his old trick again and send people to kill them privately."
Xiao Tang then said: "But with the lessons learned from Brother Lin Chong and Brother Yang Zhi, I'm afraid he also knows that Ji Ji, who only bribes the government officials in Kaifeng Mansion to collect illegal money, can't do anything. If he secretly sends his minions here, we brothers must deal with it carefully.
Wen Huanzhang has Xi Sheng and the Teng brothers helping him, and as for Coach Xu Ning...Brother Jiasui may have to trouble you to go and take a trip."
"I'm afraid that the young master will have another group of people..." Xiao Jiasui said to Xiao Tang: "Because it's not just these few heroes who were framed by Gao Qiu. I heard that Mei Dalang Mei Zhan Jiedu envoy
...I have resigned from my official position and am preparing to return home."
