v2 Chapter 68: Grenade and Explosive Pack

"Help-it's murder, it's killed..."

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, in the famous brothel in Jizhou City—Yihonglou, there was a scream of horror!

A little girl ran out of an elegant room with a horrified expression, and shouted as she ran, "Come on—it’s not good—killing—"

The shrill shouts quickly awakened the other guests staying in the brothel. Everyone ran out of the room. Some hadn’t even thought about getting dressed. The bustard was also quarreled. She was disheveled. When she ran out of her room, she was furious when she saw the little girl screaming and screaming. She rushed over and grabbed her, raising her hand as a big slap.

"Smack—a dead little whore, what did you shout in the early morning? What caused the death? Where did the death occur?"

The little girl was staggered and almost fell to the ground, standing behind her feet, covering her face and crying, "Mom, the slave girl didn't dare to lie, she really died. Just now, the slave girl sent water to sister Jiaorui's room. , Seeing sister Jiaorui lying on the ground with the guest she picked up last night, blood ran all over the floor, and a pair of scissors was still inserted in the guest's body, which scared me to death..."

When the bustard heard this, the three souls were scared to go to the seven souls, and she pushed away the girl and ran to Jiaorui's room.

The guests in each room heard about such a thing, and they didn’t care about having a relationship with the girls. They all stepped up to watch the excitement...

When I arrived in Jiaorui’s room, I saw a mess in the room. A young man was lying naked on the ground with a pair of scissors inserted in his chest. As the little girl said, blood ran all over the place, and he was soaked in this pool of blood. In, it's already dead!

Not far away, Jiaorui lay there disheveled, her eyes closed, her head battered, she didn't know whether she was alive or dead!

"Oh, my mother, how could this be? This is killing someone—" The bustard collapsed on the ground, crying and crying.

Jiaorui is the top girl in the Yihong Academy. She has been nurturing till now. She started to pick up guests for the first time yesterday. The guest groomed for her did not reveal his real name, but was a very rich person. In order to buy Jiaorui on the first night, He threw a thousand taels of silver patterns without blinking, comparing all the other guests who wanted to tease.

People who can spend a thousand taels of silver to buy a prostitute must be either rich or expensive. Now that they have died tragically here, can they still have them like the Yihongyuan?

The bustard burst into tears as if the sky had fallen. At this moment, a guest suddenly said, "Oh, isn't this the new General Chen of the Northern Army?"

When he shouted so, the rest of the people also fixed their eyes and carefully identified them.

"Oh, don't tell me, it's really him!" Someone was sure.

Of course, some people asked, "No, how can the general come to the kiln?"

"Then why are you here? It's all men. Naturally, you came here to find a woman who is pleased to be comfortable and refreshed, and go to the gentle country together with the warm mandarin ducks..."

"Tsk tsk, I thought it was only me and other laymen who would come here to have fun. I didn't expect that the general would also come, and I lost my life for this matter. Hehe, it's a pity, happiness is very sad."

Everyone talked a lot, and talked about everything. During the talk, the Yihong Courtyard was crowded with people watching the excitement.

It is said that good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, this morning, Yihongyuan had a murder case, and the victims were the new generals of the Northern Army and the oiran girl Jiaorui of Jizhou City. Such a hot and fragrant news, let’s go. Those who have passed by, the neighbors, of course will not miss it!

To say that this girl Jiaorui is still a celebrity in Jizhou City. It is said that she was a daughter of a big family. She was sold to such a place where the sky was not visible because her family was in decline. Because of her appearance, she was so beautiful. She is also quite well-versed in poems and songs, and was praised as the oiran lady of Jizhou by the men who like Fengyue in Jizhou City. They all dream of sleeping with her.

However, although Jiaorui was born weak, she had a strong temper. She was asked to play a piano and sing a song. If she was asked to take off her clothes to pick up guests, she would not agree to it. It has been in a stalemate until now, and then somehow , I agreed, but it happened only on the first day to pick up the guests.

"Hey, girl Jiaorui is really pitiful, and she was forced to pick up guests by this conscientious bustard. It's no wonder she can't think about it, she will die and break the net!" Someone in the know saw that General Chen's murder weapon was a woman's scissors. , And seeing Jiaorui’s head hurt like she hit herself, she made a bold guess!

Another said, "Yeah, my shop is next to Yihongyuan. These days I can always hear the sound of Bustard's beating her to force Jiaorui to pick up guests. That's a miserable one!"

"This General Chen is also true. Knowing Jiaorui's unwillingness, why not find someone who is willing to be happy? If you have to persecute others, it's no wonder they kill him!"

"What's so strange about this? Anyone who is willing to pick up guests must have been battle-tested and battle-tested, and their bodies are dirty. Can you compare with a big girl like Jiao Rui? If you are you, I am willing to sleep. The reluctant yellow flower girl, or sleep with an old prostitute who is willing to accompany you cheerfully?"

"Hehehe, of course she is the big girl who sleeps in the yellow flower, whether she is happy or not, clean and comfortable is enough!"

"That's right, not to mention the fact that Jiaorui is not only a lady of Huanghua, but she is also a famous beauty in Jizhou city. She was named the oiran lady of Jizhou before picking up customers. How many people are waiting for her to pick you up. Today, holding the silver, waiting to kiss Fangze."

"It's also thanks to them that they are not rich and powerful than General Chen, otherwise they would be the ones who died here today."

"That's true, but General Chen can sleep on Jiaorui once, and it's worth it if he died!"

"Sleep, do you think Jiaorui is still wearing pants, how can you sleep? And he didn't touch that thing on his body, and if he didn't fall asleep, he would be embarrassed by others. It's really worthless!"

"Who said it's worthless? You see, from ancient times to the present, how can a general who died in a brothel? We, General Chen, broke this example, or died naked, wait and see, the general will definitely For this reason, it has become famous all over the world and has been passed down through the ages!"

"Hahaha..."

The crowd onlookers laughed loudly, laughing presumptuously. I don’t know whether it was because of hating General Chen who forced Jiaorui to death, or because he was jealous of his power. Anyway, everyone is dead now. Everyone can watch his naked body as much as possible. , Ridiculed the ugly things he did to vent the injustice in his heart!

"Get away, get away!" The two attendants pulled the crowd away and rushed over. One of them picked up the quilt on the kang and put it on Chen Bingrong's body. The other faced everyone and said sharply: "Everyone, what's happening today. I advise everyone to rot into their stomachs, and there is a saying called "Misfortune comes out of the mouth". I hope everyone will take a warning, and don't try to provoke unwarranted disasters in order to be quick to speak for a while!"

When everyone heard it, they all shut their mouths, but they were only superficial. In fact, few people were frightened by him.

General Chen is dead. What's so terrible about them who are left running errands? How can he eat everyone else? Besides, everyone didn't lie again. Looking at so many eyes, General Chen was naked and killed people. Such a big scandal can't be concealed!

"It's all gone..."

The attendant didn't know what everyone was thinking, and seeing everyone shut up obediently, thinking that they would all be obedient, he dispelled everyone with a cold face.

As a result, less than an hour after everyone left, General Chen Qiang. The news about being killed by a prostitute spread all over the streets and alleys of Jizhou City. It can be described as old and young women and children, everyone knows.

When Lu Yuan rushed to the scene when he heard the news, Master Yin Zhao, the mansion of Jizhou City, passed by. Seeing Lu Yuan, Master Zhao almost threw himself into Lu Yuan’s arms as if an aggrieved child had met his parents. Cry bitterly.

General Chen Da is the emperor's brother-in-law, the empress's younger brother, and has always been respected by the emperor. Now that he has died under his own rule, the emperor will surely anger him. What can I do?

"General Lu——"

Master Zhao yelled sadly, making everyone feel goosebumps.

Lu Yuan frowned, looked down at Chen Bingrong on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"General Lu, the cause of death of General Chen is under investigation. Please let Master Lu give him some time, he will definitely find out this matter..."

Lu Yuan nodded and said coldly, "This incident happened under your control. It really should be investigated as soon as possible, so that the emperor and the queen can explain..."

"Yes, yes, the next official must do his best to investigate this matter as soon as possible, and will never disappoint the trust of the emperor and the general." Mrs. Zhao nodded as if to make trouble.

Lu Yuan stayed in the house for a quarter of an hour and was about to leave. In fact, he was very disgusted with Chen Bingrong and didn't care whether he was alive or dead. He was just a general of Jizhou City. Something happened to him and he had to come and see. , Just go for a cutscene.

When Master Zhao saw Lu Yuan was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "General Lu stayed..."

Lu Yuan paused and looked back at him, "What else is there to call this General Zhao Master?"

Master Zhao made a ‘uh’, and looked at Lu Yuan's left and right.

Lu Yuan knew, and turned aside, Master Zhao also let the people next to him go down. For a while, only Lu Yuan and Master Zhao were left in the room.

"General Lu..."

Master Zhao cautiously tentatively said, "It is said that King Zhan has returned to Jizhou. I wonder if General Lu can hear about this?"

Zhao Bingchen is smart. When Chun Yumin was taken back from the military power and left the Palace of Cham, he knew that Chun Yumin must have violated the emperor’s taboo and would be taken care of by the emperor. When Chen Bingrong took office, he wanted to clear away his close relationship with the king. , Helped Chen Bingrong to do a lot of detrimental things to Chun Yumin. Now Chen Bingrong died, and Chun Yumin came back quietly. He was guilty of heart and frightened all day long, fearing that Chun Yumin would come to him to settle the account and demand him. Xiao Minger.

Just when this happened today, he had an idea that he wanted to push Chen Bingrong’s death to Chun Yumin’s body. He only had to push this thing to Chun Yumin’s body. Then Chen Bingrong’s death was Chun Yumin’s matter. The relationship between his little mansion and the money is gone. The emperor will be furious because of Longyan, and ordered to punish Chun Yu Min. Chun Yu Min was killed by the emperor. He doesn't need to be afraid that he will come to him to settle the account. ? Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone and kill two birds with one stone?

However, although the idea is good, if this matter is to be implemented smoothly, Lu Yuan’s permission is needed.

Everyone knows that General Lu has a very close relationship with King Zhan. If he acts on his own, if he fights with King Zhan forcefully, wouldn't it be his life?

Of course, General Lu might have acquiesced. Now that the emperor reuses him and eliminates the military power of King Zhan, it is clearly intended to instigate discord between the two. As a courtier of the emperor, if Lu Yuan is really loyal to the emperor, he will definitely find opportunities to The emperor showed loyalty and drew a clear line with King Cham.

At this time, it is an excellent opportunity.

Therefore, Zhao Bingchen tentatively spoke out, wanting to see if his strategy is feasible.

As a result, as soon as he finished the question, Lu Yuan said coldly, "This general does not know, but Master Zhao mentioned this at this moment, but he did not know what he meant?"

Zhao Bingchen's shrewd little eyes swept across Lu Yuan's face. After seeing his look, he said decisively: "The official has no other intentions. It's just that I haven't seen King Zhan for a long time. I miss him very much. I heard that he came back. The general confirms that if the news is true, he will go to the palace to see him later. Since the general does not know yet, then forget it. When he is finished, he will go to the palace to inquire in person, haha...hahaha..."

Lu Yuan laughed along with him, cursed ‘old fox’ in his heart, and turned away.

Looking at the general who disappeared from sight, Zhao Bingchen's heart was cold, knowing that his wishful thinking was lost, and stealing chickens would not eclipse rice. Now, King Zhan must hate him even more!

In the restaurant opposite Yihongyuan

Chun Yumin, dressed in black, sat at the table with the delicacies of mountains and seas and the fragrance of tribute wine. He was alone, drinking slowly, waiting for news leisurely.

After a cup of tea, Luo Tong returned and reported in a low voice: "Master, everything is handled properly. Chen Bingrong is dead. Zhao Bingchen still wants to put his death on your head, but he was shocked by Lu Yuan. Up!"

"Very good!" Chun Yumin played with the wine glass in his hand, and the corners of his lips opened with a sullen smile, "Next, dig three feet in the ground, find out his cronies, and get rid of them. In addition, go find Mr. Zhao. A little trouble, let him know the fate of being an enemy of this king!" He ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes!" Luo Cheng stepped back!

Chun Yu Min drank all the wine in his glass, looked up at the fluttering guise of Yihong Building opposite, and sneered lightly.

A foolish fool, he didn't want to be an enemy of him, but that fool had to look for death, he was always an enemy of him, and he dared to set up a bridge in front of the emperor to stir up troubles, since he was so anxious to find death. , Then he also fulfills him, not only fulfills him, but also asks him to be a romantic ghost who is famous in the world, so that he can be famous and stinky for thousands of years! By the way, I also slapped the emperor in the face to let him know what kind of stuff he was looking for!

Someone came in again, it was the British war.

Ying Zhan was sent out by him to buy black medicine. This was when he came back, and he rushed over to report to him.

After coming in, the British warriors reported, "Master, almost all the black medicine in the fief has been bought by his subordinates. The total amount is only more than 200 kilograms. The subordinates are afraid that it will not be enough, so they have sent people to other prefectures to secretly. I bought it. In addition, I also found Taoist priests who can refine black medicine to help refine it. I believe I will get a large number of them back soon!"

Chun Yumin nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Where is the gun? What was it made?"

Yingzhan replied, "The gun was made by Luocheng Supervisor, and his subordinates did not participate. I don't know the details, but our craftsmen are the best. I think I must have made a lot of them!"

Chun Yumin felt his chin for a few seconds and said, "You go and tell Luo Cheng, no matter what method he uses, he must make a hundred of them before Qingming."

He did not want to blatantly rebel, nor did he want the people of the world to be involved in the life and death struggle between their brothers, so the best way is to assassinate, taking advantage of him when he went to the imperial mausoleum to worship his ancestors in Qingming. Go to Beijing with a gun, talk to his emperor brother about life, and by the way send him to see the ancestors of Chunyu's family!

But is it better to use guns or explosives?

He was a little embarrassed, he was uncertain for a while!

Finally decided, still don't want to, ask her when Lan'er comes, let her decide!

"Ahee, Ahee--"

Shen Ruolan sneezed twice in a row!

Mohs was sitting on her side and settled the accounts. Hearing her snoring, he said worriedly: "What's wrong, why did you sneeze? Was it frozen in the shower last night?"

Shen Ruolan drank the spring water every day. She was in good health like a little calf. Not to mention taking a hot bath in a warm room. Even if she goes naked for two laps, she won’t get sick, so my mother is worried. Truth is superfluous.

She clenched her fist and raised her arm, "No, I'm in good health, I just sneezed twice because my nose is a little itchy, mother, you don't need to make a fuss!"

"That's good, for the New Year, you all take good care of your body, but don't catch a cold or fever!" Niangyou said wordy.

Shen Ruolan smiled, "Mother, how long has no one in our family been sick? Since you recovered, it seems that no one in our family has ever been sick?"

Muhsi thought for a while, and laughed, "Really, I didn't pay attention if you didn't tell me. When we were in Jinchuan, your sister and I got sick every three to five. Then there was no money. A long illness made me feel bad, and I wondered when I could get more and we won’t get sick. Now that no one gets sick anymore, it can be seen that eating more is good!"

The mother attributed the fact that no one in the family was sick to the good food every day, and Shen Ruolan didn't say anything, so she just laughed it off. As long as the family is well, she doesn't care about the rest.

At this moment, Dong'er suddenly ran in and said that someone outside was looking for Shen Ruolan.

When Shen Ruolan went out to see, it turned out that Zhou Zheng was here, and she also brought a suitcase, which looked hurry and dusty!

When Shen Ruolan saw it, she was overjoyed, and after a brief greeting to each other, she hurriedly invited him into the house.

This time, Zhou Zheng brought back thirty-six kilograms of black medicine to her, and also finished the parts for the guns she wanted.

Chun Yumin thought of the matter, she needed this, and she couldn't do without this to protect the safety of her family.

"Zhou Zheng, I didn't expect you to be quite capable, and you got so many all at once!"

Zhou Zhengdao: "There are very few black medicines here when I go abroad. I got these from Wusun. I was afraid that the girl was in a hurry to use it, so I hurried back, otherwise I could get more!"

When Shen Ruolan heard this, she hurriedly took out a few silver notes from her arms, totaling three thousand taels of silver, and handed them to Zhou Zheng, saying: "This time you don't have to rush back, buy more for me, buy as many as you have. If you don’t have enough money, you can first pay a deposit and come back to me to get it. No matter how much, I want it!"

Zhou Zheng took the three thousand taels of silver bills and said with a smile, "Girl Lan is really magnificent. She has never asked me how much this black medicine is a catty. Are you not afraid that I am afraid of greed for your silver? Or, Aren’t you afraid that I would take your three thousand taels and run away?"

Shen Ruolan smiled, "You don’t need to hire people, you don’t need to be suspicious. If you really have money and run away, you can only prove that I don’t know people, so I have to admit that I’m unlucky. However, I’m still very confident and don’t know how to watch. Wrong person!"

Zhou Zheng was moved in his heart, and stood up and said, "Ms. Lan, let's rest first, I'll go to do things for you. If I go earlier, I can finish the affairs sooner!"

It's almost noon, Shen Ruolan said, "It's this time, don't leave, it's never too late to leave after lunch!"

Zhou Zheng hurried on his way, and didn't even eat anything in the morning. Seeing that Shen Ruolan really wanted to stay, he stayed and left after having lunch at Shen Ruolan's house!

In the evening, Shen Ruolan sent a shadow guard to Nong'an County, asking him to retrieve the grenade, bullets, etc. he customized, and sent another to Harahai, asking him to retrieve the batch of parts that he customized. , In this way, she can assemble five guns, and can also make dozens of grenades and dozens of explosive packs!

After the two shadow guards took their orders, they rode away on their horses.

The next morning, Shen Ruolan got the shells and bullet shells of the grenade as she wished. She immediately hid in the wing and started to operate. At noon, the person who went to Harahai also came back and took the parts of her five sets of guns. Shen Ruolan was even more busy now. She hid in the east wing every day. No one was allowed to come in. She kept her head down and worked hard. After ten days in a row, she installed the shoe grenade, bullets and guns. , In addition, I made a few explosive packs and kept them in the space for emergencies!

During this period, the group of shadow guards who wanted to kill them never appeared, which made people feel very uneasy. It was like knowing that someone was going to kill you, but hiding in the dark and refusing to do it all the time, it made people feel particularly suspicious. .

However, besides worrying, some good news finally came.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Luo Tong came with dozens of extraordinary shadow guards to take Shen Ruolan and his family to Jizhou. He also brought a letter written by Chun Yumin to her, which told her Jizhou has been cleaned up by him, and it is completely his world. She can take her father, mother and younger brothers and sisters to Jizhou to join her.

Shen Ruolan was very happy after seeing the letter. Knowing that he was safe and that everything was going well with him, she could finally let go of the heart that had been hanging day and night.

However, in the three days when the thin girl was out of the pavilion, if they left now, they would not be able to be around when the thin girl got married, and she would definitely be sad.

After thinking about it again and again, she decided to wait until the thin girl got married before leaving, otherwise she felt uneasy.

Although the emperor's people are still hidden in the dark, and will bring them danger at any time, but she now has so many weapons, and with the dozens of people brought by Luo Cheng, she thinks it should be fine.

Seeing that she was not leaving, Luo Tong had to send someone back to deliver the letter. He took the time to stay and was arranged by Shen Ruolan to stay in Wang Wanfu and You's house temporarily!

During the period, these dozens of people’s meals were provided by Shen Ruolan. Her family had New Year gifts that everyone sent over during the Chinese New Year. There was also a lot of food in the space. She also produced vermicelli, spicy cabbage, dried tofu, etc. More than enough to support these people!

It’s just that it’s a bit troublesome to prepare meals for dozens of people every day, but Shen Ruolan still insists on cooking for them. For safety reasons, she is determined not to let them go to town to buy food or let them eat anything casually. Even the water that comes back every day, she has to try it with a silver hairpin, and she has to pour half a bottle of Erling Spring water before she can rest assured!

These people and the shadow guards of Chun Yumin are also the most important people around him. She must protect them and never let them suffer any damage!

After two days of busy work, on the 14th day of the first lunar month, Shen Ruolan's family prepared.

The so-called preparation means that the day before the girl’s marriage, her family gave a wedding banquet to her relatives and friends. Shen Ruolan had previously ordered two pigs and some dishes for her wedding. Later, after the wedding was cancelled, she accompanied others for some money and cancelled these things. Later, after Shouya set the date, she asked Daqing brother to re-order those things and save them for the banquet at home.

On the day of preparation, hundreds of people came to the house all of a sudden, and the house couldn't fit.

Fortunately, Shen Ruolan had already prepared and put all the banquets in five big sheds!

The big shed has burned warm a long time ago, and the people who are invited to cook are all familiar with the village. Tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans are borrowed from various houses, and I am afraid that it will not be enough, so I deliberately use the village. I borrowed a lot of horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts from other villages, and I prepared enough for everything, just to let everyone have a good meal!

This time, Shen Ruolan killed two pigs at once, and bought a lot of chickens, ducks and geese. The rice is pure dry rice. Although the wine is not a famous wine, it is also a good rice wine. It’s enough to eat and drink, and there is no courtesy account. This means that no gift is accepted this time, and everyone is free to eat and drink.

During the New Year, she reluctantly accepted everyone's New Year gifts, but she was always sad. Later, she thought of not accepting gifts when the thin girl got married. It was a reward to everyone!

Everyone ate and drank vigorously in the big shed, and they all said that this banquet was a first-class banquet that had never been seen before in these ten miles and eight villages. Now everyone can be greedy!

Shen Ruolan wanted this effect to let everyone open their belly and eat back the New Year gift they gave her, so that everyone could lose it.

In addition, eating and drinking together like this can also strengthen unity and enhance relationships, which is a very good thing!

Zhang Jingrui was very touched when he saw Shen Ruolan's family organizing the banquet. He knew that the thin girl was originally bought by the Shen family. He always thought that the thin girl was like a maid in the Shen family, and later saw her. After wearing and today's banquet, I realized that Shouya is not the girl of the Shen family at all, but a member of the Shen family!

The Shen family is so kind and benevolent! He secretly made up his mind that he would study hard in the future, and if one day he could be named on the gold list, he would repay this good man who has given her wife the most help!

After the banquet was over, Shen Ruolan let Da Chun'er and the leftover dog get in the car again, and sent the dowry of the thin girl to the old Zhang's house.

Four large elm boxes with fine workmanship, four high-quality cotton cloths of different colors, plus several cages of chickens, ducks and geese, filled the two carriages, which also gave the villagers in Xiushui Village their eyes. To be straightforward, everyone said that the old Zhang family made a lot of money. Although the wife took out 50 taels of silver to buy it, the daughter-in-law brought back the money and profit from their family. This is considered to be developed, and nothing else. , The conversion of those older chickens, ducks and geese far exceeds their family's half-and-a-half silver betrothal money!

When Widow Qian saw the betrothal gift given by the Shen family, she was also moved and decided to kill half of the chickens, ducks and geese sent by the Shen family, and save it for the next day to entertain her mother's family and eat it. The old man Shen Jiadou is so particular They can't lose face anymore, can't they?

The next day, Shouya got married!

The thin girl who was once as thin as a walking skeleton is no longer a "thin girl", but a healthy girl with a strong physique and a strong body. She is wearing a red cotton wedding gown and staring at the embroidered mandarin duck. The red hijab, with red eyes kowtow to the couple of Shen Dejian, and like Shen Ruolan saying goodbye to her own sisters, they got on the sedan chair with Qiuping's sister-in-law and went to Xiushui Village!
