Our East Factory needs talents like you

Chapter 179
Late at night, Longevity Palace.At this time, the torrential downpour was pouring, and even the torches lit in the palace courtyard were extinguished by the heavy rain.He took the initiative to show his courtesy and acted as the guard of the imperial concubine, while the eunuchs guarding outside the main hall gathered under the wide rainy eaves of the palace, chatting boringly without saying a word.

"I don't know which bastard released the fake news. Could it be that someone really dares to assassinate our imperial concubine?"

"Maybe, there are so many lunatics in the world, there are not less than a few fools who dare to come to the kilometers to assassinate."

"Our family is still looking forward to an assassin with three or two kittens jumping into the Longevity Palace to assassinate." A eunuch who is obviously from Dongchang said: "Once these people are caught by us, it will be a big hit." Credit!"

"Are you not afraid that the person who comes here is a master of one against one?"

"Masters? Where are there so many masters?" The eunuch of the East Factory said leisurely: "There are indeed masters in the East Factory. Let alone Zhang Min, the former No. [-] expert in the East Factory. A peerless master! But what happened? Didn’t he be forced to death by our imperial concubine? Besides, Cao Shaoqin, the current number one master in Dongchang, our family doesn’t know where this person came from. A character who is not weaker than Zhang Min back then."

"Then..." another ordinary eunuch with little knowledge asked: "Could it be that Cao Shaoqin you just mentioned will assassinate the imperial concubine tonight?"

"Impossible. He has long been sent to Ningbo to watch over the Japanese envoys entering Beijing. It is estimated that he will not be able to return within ten days and a half months. Besides..." the Dongchang eunuch shook his head and said: "Why did Cao Shaoqin come to assassinate the imperial concubine? Although the Inspector of the Supervisor of Rituals is inclined towards the current crown prince, there is no need to assassinate Wan Guifei. Does he not want to live anymore?

Furthermore, even if Neixiang wanted to send someone, the governor of Dongchang might not dare!Or do you think how dare we Dongchang people come here tonight on our errands to protect the imperial concubine? "

When everyone heard this, they all felt that what the well-informed father-in-law of Dongchang said was very reasonable.Although the father-in-law was sound in his analysis, he didn't know that all of this was actually arranged jointly by the inner minister and the governor of the East Factory who he said was not necessarily single-minded!
Shang Ming adopted an attitude of neither support nor opposition to these subordinates who escaped from the post, and let his disciples decide on ambiguity in everything.If there is no accident in other places in the palace, everything will be fine, but if there is an accident, it will be that these guys have left their posts without authorization, and Shang Ming will be charged with a crime of incompetence at best.

It's a pity that something will happen in the Forbidden City tonight, and it will happen in more than one place!
"You said, will there be martial arts masters in the world?"

"Jianghu? Martial arts masters? Hahahaha!" The Dongchang eunuch laughed again: "The so-called masters in the Jianghu are exaggerating. Although there are indeed first-class masters in the Jianghu, most of them are local chickens and dog ears. , nothing to worry about. As for those first-class masters, they have already dominated one side, so how can they have the time and courage to enter the palace at night and assassinate the emperor's relatives? As the saying goes, the older the world, the less courageous they are. One counts as one, no one has the guts!"

"However... if you say that you have the ability and the courage to assassinate the emperor's relatives..." The Dongchang eunuch pondered for a moment, and then said again: "The current leader of the former Mingjiao remnant meets our current conditions, but this person is called 'Dongfang' The Undefeated' guys are always erratic. We had to..."

"Boom!"

"boom!"

"Hey, why is there such a loud and close thunder?"

"Master Lei!" The Dongchang eunuch slapped the bewildered little eunuch on the face, and said, "This is not thunder, it's clearly the sound of gunpowder explosion! Quick, come with me, This time something really happened!"

In the Wanshou Palace, a warehouse in the corner of the side hall suddenly exploded. The Dongchang guards who had been in contact with gunpowder only judged the cause of the explosion from the smell of gunpowder smoke from the house.But in this way, the problem is complicated, because things like gunpowder have always been strictly controlled.Moreover, judging from the scale of the explosion alone, it is clear that the amount of gunpowder used by the murderer was not small.

"Could it be that people from the Shenji Battalion or the Ministry of Industry were also involved?" The Dongchang eunuch hurriedly shook his head and focused his attention on the explosion site.

It is a pity that although there are some wooden seats in the room that Bao'er chose, these tables and chairs cannot be ignited by the explosion of a few grenades.Therefore, even though the explosion turned the wooden furniture into sawdust all over the place, it still failed to ignite even a single spark...

So, don't be fooled by movies and TV dramas, the smoke and dust caused by the explosion of the grenade is far more than the flames!But it is clear that Baoer is the victim of modern warfare and gunfight movies.The fire in the Longevity Palace that he was thinking about couldn't even ignite a single spark...

When a guard saw that there was no danger in the side hall, another bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart!

"Could it be that the thief intends to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"

Let's not care whether these people are tigers or not, and whether these people think too much of themselves.Just because they can think of the strategy of "tuning the tiger away from the mountain", it shows that this group of people still has a certain professionalism.But the result was that when they hurried back to the main hall of the Longevity Palace, it was still quiet here.The explosion in the side hall did not cause any damage except for shaking off the dust on the beams and shaking the glazed tiles on the main hall!

"Where did such a big commotion come from just now? What happened outside that made you so anxious?"

"Reporting to the imperial concubine, there was an explosion of unknown cause in the side hall just now?" The leader of the guards of the Wanshou Palace knelt down in front of Wan Guifei and said.

"unknown reason?"

"Uh...someone lit gunpowder in the utility room!"

"and then?"

"Returning to your mother, there is nothing abnormal except for the explosion."

"No exception?"

If there is no abnormality, it means that there is a big abnormality. Just thunder and no rain does not mean that it is just thunder in dry weather. More often, it means that a bigger storm is coming!
Just as she often walks by the river, there is no one without wet shoes, and the keen sense of smell cultivated by Gongdou all the year round also reminds Wan Zhen'er that when she used a conspiracy against the prince, she herself may have fallen into the trap of others for her. Among the carefully woven traps!

"Something must have happened in the palace, let me check it out quickly! Go!"

At the same time, in the Palace of Compassion and Ning where the Empress Dowager lived, the Empress Dowager was wailing loudly holding the Prince Edward, who was so angry!

Although the wound on the prince's body was extremely terrifying, there was not much blood, but a little blood stained the soaked clothes and the ground red.

The queen mother's acting skills are excellent enough, even in this kind of one-man show without props, the image of a tragic old man who has lost a loved one is vividly interpreted by her!
"Come on! Someone! Who will save the prince!"

Fortunately, because of the explosion of the Longevity Palace, the entire Forbidden City became lively.The Empress Dowager's call in the Palace of Compassion and Ning finally got the response of others.

However, the people who responded to her were none other than the servants of various palace gates driven out of the Longevity Palace by Concubine Wan Gui.And it was the eight guards who were supposed to guard the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, but left their posts without permission halfway.

As a result, when they hurried to the main hall, what they saw was the queen mother sitting on the ground, the prince lying in her arms dripping with blood, and four colleagues who seemed to be dead!
A few people just felt their heads go "buzzing". These people always felt that there was a big problem with tonight's arrangement, and now they finally understood what the problem was.

"The few of us..." The Dongchang guard who took refuge in Concubine Wan Gui said with a wry smile, "This time we are really doomed!"
