Donghuamen, Police Factory

In the attic, the wooden desk is covered with various papers, which are densely covered with handwriting. Although it is crooked, it is obvious that the writer is concentrating on the outlines of each stroke. pb On the other side of the desk, the small bottle stood there, looking at it without blinking.

"Now the prototype of the scale of the East Factory has emerged, but there are still management problems with the internal structure." As Bai Muchiu spoke, he dipped the tip of his brush into a little ink and circled a place on the paper, "So the Wu Dynasty used to do that , does not apply here, it must be changed, Xiao Ping'er, what do you think?"

Xiao Ping'er was looking at it in a trance. When asked a question, he was suddenly startled, his cheeks were slightly red, and he said, "Ping'er has no opinion. The governor can make the decision."

He didn't seem to notice the strange behavior of Xiao Ping'er. He just glanced at it, lowered his head again, filled out and revised on the paper, "According to the governor's idea, in addition to the fact that your majesty's royal weapons remain unchanged, the Imperial City Forbidden Army should If we change it, if we are stationed all year round, the elites will turn into a bunch of trash."

"At the next court meeting, the governor will report to the Ming officials to disperse, reorganize, and deploy the Imperial Army. Some of them will still be stationed outside Bianliang. The safety of the imperial city will be taken care of by the six factory guards under Dongchang. Hmm," Bai Muchiu saw. Xiao Ping'er's expression was in disbelief, but she still focused on saying: "It's just not happening yet. After this disaster passes, Dongchang will make some changes. There will be twelve imperial guards and thousands of households under the governor. There will be people with strong martial arts skills and meticulous minds. The palace servants are in charge. There are two hundred households under each thousand households. They are still in charge of the palace servants. These remain unchanged. By analogy, they are the stall head and the fanzi. These positions are called stalls and they will be responsible for arrests. "

Bai Muqiu thought with a pen in his hand, and said: "As for the factory guard, I originally thought that there were twelve people. Now that I think about it, I think it's inappropriate. If there are too many settings, it will easily be affected by the rebound effect. The governor will reduce it by half. The configuration of the factory guard It is to draw some elites from the imperial army to build a skeleton, and the titles are composed of commander, commander, and control, which is simpler."

"What do you think?" Bai Muchiu folded the revised paper.

Although Xiao Ping'er is smart and has served as a female official in the palace for four years, she has some knowledge, but she dare not speak decisively about this kind of things that she has never touched before, "Perhaps, the governor should ask about such things. The officials are the ones who have withdrawn the Forbidden Army from the imperial city, this has never happened since the founding of the country by the Taizu, Ping'er dare not make random comments."

"Yeah. That's right."

Bai Muchiu handed her the stack of papers in his hand and said, "Let the knife and pen clerk below put it all together and make a copy for the governor to use tomorrow."

Xiao Ping'er took it and just turned around to leave when she suddenly thought of something, "Master, Ping'er almost forgot something important."

As he said, he took out a letter from the bookcase not far from the desk, "This arrived this morning from Yuncheng, Shandong. Originally, the post station didn't deliver it, but I saw the letter written on the cover of the envelope. The name is taboo, and I will accept it."

Bai Muchiu was indifferent and slightly surprised.

Then he opened the seal, took out the letter paper inside, and read it carefully. He couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded. He turned out to be the family of the little eunuch Bai Ning with this body. He had three brothers and sisters. The eldest brother turned out to be Bai Sheng, the rat in the sun on Liangshan Mountain, while the second brother turned out to be Bai Sheng. He is an honest farmer and has a third sister who works as a maid in a landlord's family. Over the years, I have only thought about how to survive and how to rise, but I have never looked carefully at the memories that do not belong to me.

And this letter was written by the second brother Bai Yi, a farmer. According to the pb content, the eldest brother Bai Sheng was exposed because he and a group of people robbed the birth certificate. He was imprisoned and might be beheaded. This matter is not a big deal. His family is also very poor. Guarantee It was impossible, and I didn't want to see my eldest brother die like this. In my anxiety, I remembered that there was a younger brother in the palace.

So I wrote this letter, and it was sent over like a dead horse.

"This... this world is getting more and more interesting." Bai Muchiu knew that Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing existed, but they were other people after all. When his brothers in this body were members of Liangshan, his feelings were different.

Xiao Ping'er saw that he had closed his eyes and thought about things for a long time after reading the letter, so he secretly wanted to take a peek at what was written on it.At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the door was pushed open abruptly to come in. The visitor hurriedly knelt on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me for being reckless in my humble post, it is because Eunuch Hai has something important to report."

As he spoke, he told the story of discovering old man Chen and Xifu one by one.

Bai Muqiu was stunned immediately, and the image of the parting four years ago flashed into his mind, that silly girl waving behind the carriage, full of hope and joy, waiting to raise the duckling and wait for him to go back.

"My dear husband, cherish your blessings. You will raise the ducklings to be very big... Come back soon."

She actually came here from Xiangzhou. When she heard that old man Chen was seriously ill and dying, Xifu was deceived and sold into a brothel. The blood vessels on his forehead were faintly protruding, and his cold face was still cold, but slightly ferocious.

Immediately, Bai Muqiu went downstairs.

There is an independent room on the fourth floor above the embroidery building. The interior is not luxurious, but full of literary style. A guqin is placed in the middle of the entrance, which is particularly conspicuous. The layout of other corners of the room is also very exquisite and appropriate. , giving people a rough feeling, but the more you look at it, the more comfortable it becomes.

At this time, the maid Xiaoju was muttering in the compartment of the inner room. She walked out with a large wooden basin in her slender arms and put it angrily in front of a woman who was curled up in the corner. The wooden basin clicked and pressed. On the floor, the woman was shocked.

"Look at how filthy you are. It hasn't been washed for a long time. You can't afford to pay for getting this place dirty." The maid named Xiao Ju said unforgivingly.

The woman in the long white dress scolded her: "Xiaoju..."

"Got it." The little maid rolled her eyes, kept wringing out the handkerchief in her hand, and was about to wipe the woman's face.

At this time, I heard the shouts of the fat woman outside the house. After a while, I arrived at the door. After knocking on the door twice, I walked in. When I first saw the woman huddled in the corner, my originally happy smile suddenly dropped, "Damn it. How could a loser come into your room? Your boudoir is only for big shots, how could you bring such a dirty woman in, walk around, and take her away so casually?"

"Mother Li, I beg you to be a teacher today. She is so pitiful. Don't be that wicked person." Lingxiu, those gentle eyes, one glance, one has the illusion of being a confidant.

The fat woman sneered at this and said: "If I don't be such a wicked person, everyone here will have to drink the northwest wind. Master, my mother can rely on you for anything, only things that damage your reputation, mother But she won’t comply. Give her half an hour at most, and then she will be sent to me. She must be trained and trained well."

Just as he was talking, there was suddenly a little noise downstairs, and the fat woman immediately turned around and went out, cursing, "I've only been away for a while, and why is there already a commotion down there? You really have raised a bunch of trash. If they were all like Shishi, I could do it too." Live a few more years.”

The sound became quieter as he went downstairs.

Master Li combed his hair and asked tentatively: "Girl, where are you from and what are you doing in Bianliang?"

Xifu was huddled in the corner, his eyes dull, as if he had not heard the fairy-like woman's words. Seeing her like this, Master Li felt a little sad, but there were rules in this brothel, and she couldn't make any decisions. He immediately put down the wooden comb in his hand and walked over.

Crouch down and face her.

He asked softly: "Girl, you came to Bianliang to seek refuge with relatives. If so, Master may be able to help you."

Xifu moved a little, with a heart-wrenching look in his eyes.

"I...I...came to see my husband...he disappeared. He said he would come back and asked Xifu to wait for him...but it took a long time. The ducklings have grown up. They were sold and raised again... He said he would come back after he was raised...he came back."

Tears flowed down, and the voice was bitter and bitter.

Even Xiao Ju, who didn't want to see her, her eyes were red at this time, and she cursed fiercely: "Heartless man"

Li Shishi sighed, she was far more mature than her peers, so she knew that the woman in front of her had mental problems, and she didn't know how to help this poor man.

At this time, for some reason, the noise downstairs was getting louder and louder. Xiao Ju ran out smartly, but after a while, she rushed in with a pale face and shouted: "Oh no, there are a lot of people coming downstairs." Officers and soldiers I’ve seen.”

.

Master Li asked Xiaoju to look at the woman in the room, then he tidied up and walked out calmly. Before he went downstairs, he heard a high-pitched voice arguing with Mother Li, and the guests around seemed to be talking about something. There was a lot of commotion there, and some weird verses about eunuchs coming to visit brothels just in time for spring water to flow eastward.

Only when we got to the lobby below could we hear it more clearly.

"You never need any credentials when doing business in Dongchang. Someone said that you have an important person hiding here. You have to hand it in today. If you don't hand it in, humph, there is still a place for you on the flagpole of Donghuamen Police Factory. Do you want it? "The speaker was a eunuch in soap clothes and carrying a sword, but he was tall and strong, not like the sickly one in the palace.

Another eunuch in soap clothes came over and drew out a long knife directly, "Don't talk to this old bustard, Eunuch Hai has ordered, if these people don't know good and bad, you don't need to seal the knife."

These words immediately startled Mother Li. Her fat body shrank back and shouted with a voice like a broken gong: "Xiu Lou is a place where big people often come. You... if you do it here?" If you use the knife, he...they will definitely go to the emperor to sue your superiors."

"That's right." At this time, a middle-aged man came down from the second floor. He said: "I am Di Changshu, the commander of the three yamen capitals. You geldings are so arrogant and domineering. I will attend the East Factory in front of His Majesty tomorrow morning. Admiral, tell him to restrain himself."

"Yes, Master Di said yes." Seeing that a big man came out, the people around naturally didn't miss this opportunity, clamoring to make the dog look good.

"These lackeys of the East Factory are killing good people indiscriminately. I heard that they killed many ministers who contributed to the disaster relief on the day of the opening of the Yamen."

"That's right. I don't know how Admiral Dongchang deceived the officials and let this evil dog out."

Several eunuchs in soap clothes who came earlier saw the aggressiveness of the crowd, and couldn't help tightening the handle of the knife in their hands, feeling a little hard to get off the tiger. Seeing this, even Li Shishi couldn't help laughing contemptuously.

Suddenly there was a loud noise, something seemed to have collapsed outside the embroidery building, and a eaves pillar fell down and hit the ground.At this time, there was a sound of horses singing outside, the rumbling horseshoes were stepping on the ground, and the sound of building pillars being pulled and broken was heard from time to time. Before Mama Li could react, she looked from outside the gate and saw dozens of eunuchs in soap and iron armor holding hands. The knife rushed in, dividing the guests present.

"Who said just now that you want to join Bendu for a copy?"

Outside the gate, Bai Muqiu Longting, who had silver hair and a fish-dragon robe, walked in. Behind him, a group of archers lined up. Hearing the squeaking sound of bows being stringed, they all pointed at Di Changshu on the stairs on the second floor. .

Bai Muchiu looked at him sideways, "Is that you?"

"No. It's not me." Di Changshu saw dozens of arrows pointed at him and was frightened to death. If he dared to admit it at this time, he was seeking death.

A eunuch in soap clothes came over and lay down on the ground. Bai Muqiu sat on it, tilted his head slightly, and said in a strong tone: "My lord, listen carefully. If you dare to say that your majesty will read the book , either dead or unborn. You choose yourself, and I will give you three breaths."

"One"

"three"

Di Changshu panicked and shouted: "I choose, I choose not to be born."

"Okay" Bai Muchiu waved his hand, "Send Master Di to see his mother."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen arrows were fired immediately, and more than a dozen pop-pop sounds were heard. The man above was nailed into a hedgehog and fell on his back on the stairs. The prostitutes screamed and were quickly covered by the people around them. Shut up, this scene just now scared everyone so much that they dared not speak out.

"What about you?" Bai Muchiu's cold eyes moved towards the fat madam.

At this moment, a siren shouted out of thin air in this terrifying place. Even Li Shishi, who was standing there in shock, couldn't help but look up. The woman she thought was crazy and stupid ran down. He rushed toward the white-haired eunuch and stretched out his hand as if to stop her, but she dodged her and continued to rush forward. Finally, he pounced on her.

Master Li closed his eyes and couldn't bear to see her being killed.

But when she opened her eyes, what she saw was a surprising scene. The unkempt woman was actually hugged by the Dongchang admiral.

After a long time, the two separated.

"Why did you come?"

Bai Muchiu held the token and stared at the scarred silly woman, "I wonder what's going on outside? What if I die on the way?"

"...The ducklings were all eaten by the bad guys..."

Xifu wiped his tears, sucked his nose deeply, thought of the grievances he had suffered for so long, and cried loudly: "...There is no duckling...I don't know when you will come back."

Seeing her cry and listening to what she said, the original anger in her heart was suddenly extinguished, Bai Muqiu couldn't help but hugged her in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Silly girl... .Why is it so distressing to be so stupid?"
