It was still early at midnight, so Li Jiang turned over and lay on his back on the roof with his hands behind his head.
There is no haze here, and you can see the vastness. When you look through the atmosphere, you can see the bright moon in the sky and the stars.
Li Jiang was troubled by this. He wondered how the sky in this other world was different from the sky on the main earth.
Are you living under the same starry sky with your parents and friends?
Or is the starry sky here just a projection of the starry sky in the main world?
No one answered.
Li Jiang felt increasingly lonely.
He shook his head to drive away the discomfort and started planning his plan to seize the treasure.
Although we can't be sure whether the medicine is ready, we can lurk every day after exploring the escape route. These medicines must be handed over to Ma Shiying, the tribute payer, for review.
These medicines are related to whether the eight extra meridians can be opened, and we will never give up until we succeed.
But after getting the medicine, should we kill Ma Shiying? Or should we knock him out?
Li Jiang was a little confused when he thought about this.
Ma Shiying was not well evaluated in history. He was said to be an eunuch who manipulated the emperor, rejected loyal ministers, suppressed dissenters, took bribes, and sold his official position. In any case, he was a treacherous minister. He was mainly responsible for the demise of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
However, Li Jiang did not believe it, because who wrote the evaluation of Ma Shiying? Of course it was written by Shui Tailiang, the literati who surrendered to the boar skin.
I don’t deny that there are truths and slanders in it. But there is a key issue. After the city of Nanjing was defeated, Ma Shiying did not kneel down to welcome the wild boar skin into the city like the Donglin Party did. Instead, he continued to resist the Qing Dynasty, and was betrayed by the traitors in the end.
die a martyr.
He died like this, and the Donglin Party members did not let him go. They had to add a paragraph in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" that he was executed after his surrender was rejected.
Shameless, shameless, you are a young boy, you can't see others not surrendering, otherwise it will make you look weak and have no integrity in comparison. Everyone is kneeling and you are the only one standing. That will never work, or else
Kneel down, or lie down.
Therefore, they wished that everyone would become the second-fifth son, so that they would no longer be the second-fifth son. It was these people who became the vanguard after surrendering. They made great contributions every time foreign invaders invaded, and they were the most ruthless in killing their own people.
Damn it! Li Jiang made up his mind. Now that he has arrived at the end of the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether this world is real or fake, he does not want to farm to develop science and technology, nor does he want to become a king and hegemon, but after learning this martial arts, it will still be of some use.
There are things to do and things not to do.
After you get the treasure here, if you have the opportunity to go to Nanjing to get some money, Hou Fangyu and these people will kill them all. The two Japanese are the most hateful.
I also made another trip to Shenyang to get rid of all the wild boar skins of Huang Taiji, Duo Ergun, Duo Duo and Yue Tuo. Oh, and also dismissed Hong Chengchou and the three Shun Wangs.
Damn it, even if Li Zicheng destroyed the Ming Dynasty, the meat would rot in the pot and the fat and water would not flow to outsiders. After all, the Han people would be in the country and they would not treat the Han people as slaves.
Of course, this has its own benefits. If you distort history like this, I don’t know how many faith points you will get. It’s really a matter of public and private interests!
If there weren't guards above his head, Li Jiang might have laughed out loud.
Time slowly passed by as he gritted his teeth and secretly laughed, and it came to three or four o'clock.
Li Jiang didn't bring a watch. He could tell the time because the watchman outside was beating the gong and banging the clapper and shouting: "It's five o'clock at Yin time. Go to bed early and get up early. Take care of yourself."
To take action, Li Jiang gathered his energy, turned over and lay down, pulled on the mask, and started detecting with his eyes and ears like radar.
There was nothing unusual. Li Jiang carefully slipped down the wall, then stopped and listened to the guards on the tower without calling the police.
He found a random path and ducked toward the center of the building.
The Governor's Mansion is really huge. There are many houses of various sizes, too many to count. After walking around for a long time, I still couldn't find the Governor's Hall. There was no sign of the study or bedroom, which made Li Jiang feel a little dizzy.
The sky is getting brighter and the rooster has begun to crow.
Li Jiang did not dare to take risks, so he decided to retreat and come back tomorrow night. During the day, he would first go to the escort office to see if there was any escort team heading to Beijing.
Back at the inn, Li Jiang took another nap, got up after dawn, had breakfast, asked where the escort agency was, and then set out.
When I found the escort agency, I went straight in and asked if there was any escort team going to Beijing. He said that for safety's sake, he wanted to pay for a hookup. This pattern of taking advantage of escorts is very common in escort agencies. The person who received him didn't think much about it and just told him that there was no escort.
Li Jiang left the address of the inn and told them to send someone to call him if they took the escort from Beijing, and the escort agreed.
After the arrangements were made, Li Jiang settled in Fengyang.
For several days, the escort did not send a message asking him to leave, which meant that the medicine was not ready yet. So he sneaked into the Governor's Mansion every night, walked around the place, and drew a map in his mind.
Until eight or nine o'clock in the evening on the fifth day, Li Jiang was still squatting outside the study because he had encountered Ma Shiying meeting his close subordinates here, which was the most confidential place.
I thought I would have to make another trip with empty hands today, but unexpectedly, the steward from the inner courtyard of the Governor's Palace hurried to the study, holding a box in his hand.
Li Jiang perked up and thought that seeing that the box was delivered by the butler himself, he knew that the contents inside were extraordinary. Without any time to think about it, he quickly went around to the window of the study room, dipped some saliva on it, uh, he learned it from watching TV, and stamped it on the window paper.
A hole, look inside.
Ma Shiying was reading inside. When the housekeeper came in, he asked happily: "Is it done?"
"Yes, sir." The butler also smiled happily.
After replying, the housekeeper opened the wooden box and saw that it was padded with silk and had two bottles on it, both carved from white jade.
Ma Shiying picked up the jade bottle, pulled out the cork, and poured out a wax pill. He pinched the wax pill, and a burst of fragrance hit his nose, revealing a vermilion pill as big as a longan.
Ma Shiying put the medicine into his mouth, chewed it for a few mouthfuls, then picked up the tea and water on the desk and swallowed it.
Fuck, that’s mine. Li Jiang looked out the window and felt heartbroken, but he had to confirm the authenticity and let him eat one.
After taking the medicine, Ma Shiying's face turned rosy within a few minutes. He stood up and stretched his waist before nodding with satisfaction.
He put the opened jade bottle aside, closed the wooden box, and said to the steward: "I will present this bottle to the emperor, and you will arrange the escort tomorrow."
Just as the housekeeper was about to reply, he heard a "bang" from the window, bursting open, and then a masked man in black got in.
Before the masked man landed, two copper coins flew out with a raise of his hand. Ma Shiying and the housekeeper were hit before they had time to react. Their whole bodies were stiff and speechless.
The masked man looked at the wooden box and jade bottle with bright eyes, and said: "Don't bother you to escort them, I will do it for you."
After saying that, with the two people staring at each other, he opened the wooden box and put the jade bottle that Ma Shiying kept aside inside.
The masked man clicked with his fingers, and the housekeeper and Ma Shiying softened, rolled their eyes and fainted.
Chapter completed!
