Factory owner is king

Chapter 120 I, Sapphire, Will Rebel!
July 26, 29th year of Hongwu

Jin Yiwei's commander Jiang Huan wrote to the court, saying that Chen Liubai, the owner of Shengchun Jewelry Shop, confessed that the person behind the theft of the Imperial Seal may be an honorable person in the court.The name of Shengchun may have a deep meaning.

The first day of August in the 26th year of Hongwu
Zou Xian, the right servant of the Ministry of War, recruited Li He, the governor of the governor of the left army, Feng Yuan, the governor of the governor, and Du An, the governor of the left, to discuss matters alone in the squad room.Except for four people, there was no fifth person present during the whole process.

The third day of August in the 26th year of Hongwu
The governor, Li He, and the left governor, Du An, joined hands with the next captain to inspect the [-] camps outside the city, and called the school officials of thousands of households at all levels to speak in front of them alone.

The ninth day of August in the 26th year of Hongwu, an auspicious day

Lan Yu married her fourth concubine and held a large banquet in honor of old friends and guests from all walks of life. Half of the governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion attended, including Li and Feng Yuan Du'an.However, most of the nobles made excuses that they were ill or inconvenienced. Only the Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, and the Marquis of Deqing, Liao Yongzhong, were present.

Four days, four inconspicuous little things, seem to have nothing to do with each other, and individually they all conform to the rules of the court system.But the storm was brewing unconsciously.

Hongwu 26th August [-]th,

Tomorrow is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival,

Just this morning, news of good news came from Shu, Ping An led his army to Chengdu, and at that time, Wang Siliu, the leader of the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, led his army to attack Chengdu.Ping'an made a decisive decision, led his army straight to the flank of the rebels, joined forces with Zhu Chunli, the king of Shu, and defeated the rebels, killing [-] soldiers and taking [-] prisoners.Wang Siliu led the remnant troops to retreat to Yibin, the capital city of Syria, and could not retreat.

After receiving the good news, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and ordered to take a rest and take a bath tomorrow, and at the same time ordered the household department to prepare supplies to reward the armed forces.

The civil and military officials in the court and the people in the city all had smiles on their faces.Every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, buying meat whenever they can, and is preparing to have a good time during the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.

East Factory
Xu Ruyi frowned and looked at Yun Zheng in front of her: "Hastily summoned someone to summon me to come out, what happened?"

"Supervisor." Yun Zheng said in a low voice, "Lan... Duke Liang may raise an issue tomorrow!"

"Is the news reliable..." Xu Ruyi's expression was a little complicated.

"I don't know." Yun Zheng shook his head, and took out a note from his pocket: "Today, when the villain came back from the street, a boy handed a note to the villain at the gate of the yamen, saying that an old man gave me a note. His, let him hand over to the villain."

Xu Ruyi took the note and looked at it intently, only to see that it read: "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lan Yu will enter the [-] battalion and lead the army to seize the door."

Yun Zheng went on to say: "The villain has carefully checked the news related to the Three Thousand Battalion in the past two days, and found that there seems to be a change in the military governor's mansion, the Ministry of War, and the Three Thousand Battalion. The news on the note may not be groundless."

As he spoke, he recounted the news about the [-] Battalion that he had just found out in the past few days.

"Understood." Putting the note into her arms, Xu Ruyi turned around and left the East Factory.

Although she had guessed in her heart for a long time, when the guess became reality, Xu Ruyi still couldn't accept it.Sapphire's kindness to him actually stemmed from a misunderstanding.But kindness is kindness. The days in Duke Liang's mansion were the most comfortable days that Xu Ruyi had ever lived. Wang Fang's care for him, Lan Yu and Mrs. Mu's care for him, these cannot be faked.

A man stands in the world, revenge must be avenged, and favor must be repaid.

If he had followed Xu Ruyi's true intention, he would have wanted to help Lan Yu fight into the imperial city together and kill Zhu Yuanzhang with his sword.But he can't.Who sent this note?Xu Ruyi is unknown, but it is nothing more than Tianmen, or. . .Zhu Yuanzhang!

Tianmen sent the note to let him report to Zhu Yuanzhang quickly to show his loyalty and ability.

And if it was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, it would be a test of his loyalty.He must go to the palace immediately to report, otherwise, a little delay will arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion, and his life will be in danger!

Since the note was delivered to Yun Zheng, it meant that the person who delivered the message didn't want to see him, but wanted him to make his own choice.

'Do I have a choice? Walking on the street, Xu Ruyi had a wry smile on his face.

Have!
Xu Ruyi's gaze gradually became firmer, and her fists gradually clenched.He turned around and headed towards the Duke of Liang's mansion.

I bet that the note was sent by Tianmen, and I went to see Lan Yu one last time, what did I do when I saw him?Xu Ruyi herself didn't know either.

Regardless of whether Sapphire rebels or not, the emperor will kill him, and if he is Sapphire, he will definitely fight, but he still decides to see Sapphire, otherwise his heart will be hard!
. . . . . . .

It's night, the moon is full

On the martial arts arena of the Duke of Liang's mansion, Lan Yu flew up and down with a big knife, dancing vigorously.Sweat dripped from his naked upper body, his eyes were red, and he was shouting forcefully, expressing the resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Who?!" With a shout, the long knife was released from his hand.

"ping"

There was a crisp sound, and the swords clashed.

"Dang Lang Lang~"

The long knife fell to the ground.

Lan Yu looked up and saw, under the moonlight, a man wearing a monkey mask and tight-fitting night clothes, holding a sword in his right hand and his left hand behind his back, standing proudly.

Lan Yu looked him up and down, and asked, "Who are you? You came to my country's mansion in the middle of the night, and I don't know what you want?"

"Grandpa...can you...not reverse it."

When Xu Ruyi came here, she had prepared a lot of words, but she didn't expect such a sentence to come out when they really met.

"No?" Lan Yu raised her eyebrows, pulled a sweat towel from her waist to wipe off the sweat on her body: "Mr. Lan can't understand what you're saying."

"You don't need to worry too much, my lord. Our family is the new admiral and eunuch of Dongchang. Today, Dongchang received a secret report that my lord wants to start a riot on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I don't know if it's true or not, so I came here to ask."

"Dongchang? Is this how Dongchang works? It's a novelty." Sapphire smiled, but still didn't answer.

Xu Ruyi said tremblingly: "I believe that the father-in-law also understands that our family has already taken on a huge relationship. Now that things have happened, can't the father-in-law give a correct sentence?"

After a moment of silence, Lan Yu put away the smile on her face, looked seriously at the admiral of Dongchang in front of her, and said, "Although I don't know why my father-in-law is willing to come to persuade me, I think it's not the emperor's order. Well, since you Ask, then Lan will tell you."

"I am Sapphire, I am determined!"

Large patches of clouds drifted away, gradually fading the bright moon.

The wind that came from nowhere blew up the clouds in the sky and the fallen leaves on the ground, but it could not disperse the sonorous voice of the blue jade.

"I, Lan Yu, went on a military campaign and conquered the world. I laid down this great country for Zhu Chongba, and wiped out the remnants of Beiyuan. I have made great achievements in battle. What did I miss?"

"Yes, of course there are faults. If I have to say it, I played with the wife of the Mongolian Great Khan, and I even led troops to rush to the Xifeng Pass. But what does it matter? It is worthwhile for him to change my Duke of Liang to Duke of Liang ?”

"I said one thousand to ten thousand because Zhu Chongba was afraid. He was afraid that I would rebel, or in other words, he was afraid that we old brothers would rebel. Xu Da died, and so did my eldest brother Chang Yuchun (Lanyu Naichang died) Brother-in-law Yuchun), Li Shanchang is dead, and Liu Laodao is also dead (referring to Liu Bowen). It was Zhu Chongba who killed all of them. Now after all, it is my turn, Lan Yu!"

"You said it yourself, if it were you, what would you do?"

After roaring angrily, Xu Ruyi was speechless.

for a while
Xu Ruyi said: "Regardless of whether he is rebellious or not, as long as he has the ability to rebel, he will die. I understand what you mean, but how sure are you that the rebellion will start tomorrow?"

"Hahahaha." Lan Yu looked up to the sky and smiled: "It's only [-]% at most."

[-]%?A somewhat strange number, but Xu Ruyi didn't think much about it.

"Then why not..."

"Why not?" Lan Yu looked at Xu Ruyi amusedly: "Why don't you wait and live for two more days? Do you think I, Lan Yu, are afraid of death?"

"..."

"Since my father-in-law is here today, I, Lan Yu, will tell you the truth. The rebellion will not succeed. In fact, every old brother who followed me knows it. I told them at the beginning. But why are they still willing to follow me? Because we have to vent our anger! We also feel that Zhu Yuanzhang's blood is worth it!"

"Fu Youde, Feng Sheng and the others always persuade me that this matter cannot be accomplished, but they don't understand, if it is accomplished, they will not be able to live, just wait and see, it will be a matter of one day sooner or later."

"After you leave for a while, it doesn't matter whether you tell Zhu Chongba or not. The general trend has come, and everyone's will, he can't stop him, even if I, Sapphire, immediately Execution is useless!"

"Ha ha ha ha" another burst of laughter sounded.

. . . . . .

The palace gate has long been locked, isolating the inside and outside of the imperial city.

The door can shut people, but it cannot shut the transmission of news.

In the shadows, a middle-aged man sneaked up to Dong'an Gate, holding a note in his hand, and knocked on the door six times, long and short, as if it was a secret signal.

After a while, a deep voice came from the crack of the door: "Who?"

"Lan, 27, there is an urgent message to send."

After a moment of silence, there was a slight sound from the lower left corner of Dong'an Gate, and a door nail was pulled from the inside, revealing a hole the size of a fist.

"Pass it in." The voice from the door sounded again.
"Yes." The man sent the note in his hand.

"What are you doing?" the man suddenly exclaimed in a low voice. As soon as the note in his hand was taken away, he felt as if something had pricked his hand.

"Nothing, there's a bee."

"Oh." The man scratched his head, thinking to himself that he was unlucky, then turned and left again.

. . . . . .

Lenggong, where the emperor imprisoned his concubines.

In fact, there is no palace in the imperial city called Lenggong.

Ganxi Palace is located on the west side of the Imperial Garden. Since the three concubines died of illness in Qianxi Palace, this Ganxi Palace has become a virtual cold palace, and even the emperor does not want to come here.

However, Li Caiyu liked this place very much. He always liked to hang out here when he had nothing to do, because it was deserted and gloomy enough.

When the footsteps sounded, Li Caiyu frowned, but then relaxed, looked at the visitor, and chuckled, "What's wrong? His face is so ugly. Who is this that made our Hall Master Zhao so angry?"

Zhao Luqin, the master of Tianmen Xunzi Hall, came in front of Li Caiyu with a gloomy face: "Have you told the little master about Lan Yu's uprising tomorrow?"

"No?" Li Caiyu frowned: "Why do you ask that?"

"Look for yourself." A ball of paper bounced towards Li Caiyu's face, and Li Caiyu grabbed it casually.

"Just now, the inspector of the Lanyu Mansion sent a message. If it weren't for the cleverness of the children under me, the news would probably have been delivered to the emperor."

"Where is the person?" Li Caiyu read the content on the note, with an angry look on his face.

"Don't worry, it's taken care of." Zhao Luqin snorted coldly: "I was pricked by a wasp's tail. It should have turned into water by now."

Li Caiyu took a handful of the note in his hand and turned it into crumbs: "I didn't tell the little doorkeeper about this, and there was no letter from Lao Zhang and Lao Liu. I guess it was exposed by Lao Qian."

"No matter who exposed the wind, the key little sect master actually went to Lan Yu's house, you know what it means!
There were more than one procurator in Liangguo's mansion, and one was killed tonight, but if he didn't notice for a while in the future, and let the emperor know about Xu Ru's opinions on Lan Yu tonight from other procurators, it would be a big trouble.Even if the school inspector is watched dead by Lao Zhang and doesn't reveal anything, don't forget that there is still a group of Jin Yiwei outside.Not to mention the closure of the East Factory, at least half of the eunuchs in the palace will die. "

"Of course I know." Li Caiyu thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "The little sect master may just be impulsive, after all, he is still a child at heart, I believe he should enter the palace to report tomorrow morning."

"What if he doesn't come?"

"No." Li Caiyu shook his head: "If he doesn't come, the old money will have to bring him. Otherwise..."

“It’s going to be big trouble.”

"I hope so."

In fact, Li Caiyu and Zhao Luqin were overly worried.There is no need for tomorrow morning. At this moment, Xu Ruyi is already sitting in the shadow of the wall in front of Dongzhimen. She is just waiting for the palace door to open tomorrow to enter the palace to meet the saint.

He also wanted to understand, to show his loyalty in front of the emperor and gain trust, and only then would he have the chance to get Lan Yu's right to interrogate.He can't save Lan Yu's life, but it's okay to let him go peacefully and suffer less pain.

At that time, if you delay it, maybe there will be a turning point?

. . . . . . .

On the other side, Jiang Huan looked at the note in his hand and gritted his teeth secretly.

Just now, he received a letter from Fei Ge from the White Lotus Sect, which contained only seven words: "Xu Ruyi, Master of the Tianmen Sect."

Before that, Jiang Huan had always wondered what kind of identity Xu Ruyi was worthy of Tianmen taking out a human skin mask to protect.Unable to figure it out, he sent a letter to Tang Sai'er and told the whole story.Unexpectedly, such news came.

"Alas." Jiang Huan sighed secretly. If he had known Xu Ruyi's identity, he would have risked his life. . .

Well, this is just a thought.Although Tianmen has fallen, the White Lotus Sect is not much better. If the two parties fight recklessly again, it will be Zhu Yuanzhang who will be the cheapest.This is also the reason why Chu Mi'er dared to trade with him at the beginning.

Speaking of which, there was a discussion within the White Lotus Sect to leak the news of Tianmen to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman himself.But in the end, before things were settled, news was received that the previous generation of Guardian Zuo was conspired against by the three hall masters of Tianmen, and all his martial arts were abolished.

Therefore, unless the 24 Tianmen halls scattered all over the country are sure to be wiped out, otherwise, both parties will lose.
