Rebirth Wenli Yangfulang

Chapter 47 Gunpowder

The next day, Li Chengyun returned to the Forbidden Army and listened to the report of the deputy commander and the commanders of the left and right divisions.

Li Chengzhe was awarded the title of General of the Fifth Rank Wing Guard, and he also returned to the inner camp of the Forbidden Army, existing like a deputy commander.

After Liao Huirong and others withdrew, Li Chengzhe couldn't help saying: "Cousin, if you make such an arrangement, Deputy Commander Liao will have some opinions."

Li Chengyun took out a piece of information from a pile of paperwork, "Look for yourself."

The data recorded everything about the two battalions of the imperial army during their expedition to the southwest.

Li Chengzhe took a moment to read it carefully and was shocked.

"Liao Huirong is a member of the Southwest King, but he doesn't seem to have done anything for the Southwest King." Li Chengzhe was a little afraid. If Liao Huirong did something, it would undoubtedly make this campaign against the rebellion more difficult.

"Having enjoyed the rich salary of high officials from the imperial court, the more you get, the more afraid you are to lose it." Even after being demoted from the commander of the imperial army to the deputy commander, Liao Huirong still enjoys the glory and wealth that most people can't match.

"Cousin, how to deal with him?"

Li Chengyun sneered, and said: "The Southwest Wang family is currently being imprisoned in Dali Temple. Dali Temple Qing Lord Hu asked me to send someone to help guard it. I plan to let the two of you bring people there to support."

"Wonderful, the old master and the traitor." Li Chengzhe's eyes sparkled, "Cousin, you can rest assured and leave it to me."

Therefore, Dali Temple Minister looked at the people Li Chengyun sent to support him in shock, "Vice Commander Liao, General Li, why did the prince send you two here?" Is this an intention to steal the show, or is there another arrangement?

Li Chengzhe said: "The prince said that it is very important to guard the father and son of the Southwest Prince, otherwise Lord Hu would not borrow someone from him, so the deputy commander personally brought us to assist the Lord."

Liao Huirong nodded: "As General Li said."

Dali Temple Minister smiled embarrassingly. It was easy to ask God to send God away, so he had to take them to the dungeon to see where the Southwest Wang family was imprisoned. "We moved all the other prisoners to other places, and only the rebels and their families are detained here."

Li Chengzhe stood in front of the Southwest King's prison door, and said with a light smile, "As expected of Dali Temple, this dungeon is like an iron barrel, no one can escape."

When no one seemed to notice, Xixi Wang and Liao Huirong met their eyes.

For the first two days, Li Chengzhe stayed in the dungeon almost all the time when he was on duty. Even if he went back after a shift, he would repeatedly instruct other people carefully.On the third day, Li Chengzhe kept yawning while on duty, his upper and lower eyelids fighting with sleepiness.

Liao Huirong said with concern: "The dungeon of Dali Temple is so guarded that not even a fly can get in or out. There are so many people watching. General Li, go back and rest."

Li Chengzhe yawned again and nodded, "I really can't take it anymore, I'm going back to the mansion first, and please don't let Deputy Commander Liao and the big guys let me talk in front of my cousin. I'm here He has made a guarantee in front of him, and he will definitely watch over it himself to ensure that there will be no problems."

"Don't worry, brothers know what's going on. Look at the bruises under your eyes, go back and rest."

Li Chengzhe nodded again, and staggered away.

"Lieutenant Li, no, it should be General Li, why do you look so haggard?" Su Yao looked at this man who happened to meet on the road in surprise.

Li Chengzhe woke up instantly, and scratched his head foolishly, "I haven't had a lot of rest for the past two days in prison for felons."

When Su Yao heard the word "repeat offender", it was not difficult to guess that it was the King of Southwest who had not yet decided how to deal with it. He kindly reminded: "General Li holds an important position, so it is not appropriate to casually mention his official duties to outsiders."

Li Chengzhe was slightly stunned, his eyes dimmed.If it were someone else, he really wouldn't mention it casually.

Su Yao nodded slightly to him, and walked away.

Chi Lan chuckled, "This General Li is not easy to you."

"What are you talking about."

"I'm standing next to you alone, and he never looked at me from the beginning to the end, all eyes are on you."

Su Yao couldn't help being stunned, and sighed softly: "He is the son of Marquis Chang Ning, the cousin of the county king. He is already a fifth-rank general at such a young age, and his future is boundless."

"Isn't that nice."

"Can he marry in his capacity?" Su Yao didn't think too much about the impossible.

"Unless you are marrying into the royal family, marry a princess." Chi Lan sighed, "You say you, why do you insist on marrying a wife or recruiting a wife?"

Both of them fell silent, and did not bring up this topic on the way back to the academy.

At this time, in the court hall, the officials were still arguing endlessly over how to deal with the Southwest King.

One side said that if the king of the Southwest conspired against him, he should punish the nine clans.

The other party said that it would be easy to kill the Southwest King's family, but it would make the other vassals feel cold and fearful.It is better to confine him to show the tolerance and benevolence of the emperor and the court.

Li Chengyun, who deliberately hid for two days, went to the palace to face the saint.

The emperor said: "Cheng Yun, you are the commander in charge of suppressing the rebellion. What is your opinion on how to deal with the rebellion in the Southwest?"

Li Chengyun replied: "My lords are all right. I think you might as well shut down the rebels for another three to five days, and see how these rebels will react."

The emperor glanced at him thoughtfully, and told everyone to retreat, leaving Li Chengyun alone.

"Is your proposal today because there are still remnants of evil?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the emperor."

"So these two days of leave and not coming to court is because of the remnants of the Southwest."

"Emperor Shengming."

"Okay, I won't ask about this matter for now, I'll leave it to you to take full responsibility, and I'll wait for your good news."

"The minister takes orders."

Afterwards, Li Chengyun sent more people to patrol the city day and night, and even transferred a group of elite soldiers from the outer battalion.

Because of the big actions of the forbidden army, the entire capital seemed to be shrouded in a gray shadow.

In the dungeon of Dali Temple, Liao Huirong said to the Southwest King: "Based on what I know about Li Chengyun, it seems that he is really lax when he guards against death, and his laxity is all for the purpose of luring the enemy. Therefore, this is the most appropriate time. Timing, once he pretends to relax, it will be even more difficult to escape."

The Southwest King pondered for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "You make the arrangement. If it's a fraud, don't even think about it."

"Please rest assured, my lord, everything is under my control."

After nightfall, a group of men in black evaded the patrolling guards and sneaked into Dali Temple, and successfully reached the dungeon.They divided into two teams to find the father and son of the Southwest Prince who were being held alone, and opened the prison door and chains with the key.

However, just as they were about to escape from the dungeon, there was a sudden bang, the dungeon collapsed instantly, and the smell of gunpowder wafted far away.

Li Chengzhe, who had been in ambush for a long time, looked at this scene in disbelief, and rushed over with people.

Liao Huirong and the people from Dali Temple also rushed over, all of them were amazed.

Li Chengzhe picked up the collar of a jailer, his eyes were wide open, "How can there be sex in the dungeon?"

The jailer replied tremblingly: "The little one doesn't know anything."

"General Li, it's important to save people now." Dali Siqing calmed down and quickly organized personnel to clean up the dungeon.

Li Chengzhe let go of the jailer and clenched his hands tightly.Before the explosion in the dungeon, he didn't smell the gunpowder, so he didn't know what method the person who buried the gunpowder used to cover up the smell, let alone when the gunpowder was buried.

He took a deep breath, glanced at Liao Huirong secretly, and said to him: "Vice Commander Liao, I'm going to report the matter here to the lord, and I will trouble you here."

Liao Huirong nodded, but also worried and eager, and said: "Okay, leave it to me here, you go quickly."

When Li Chengyun heard about this, he immediately blocked the news, and then came to Dali Temple in person.

On the way, Li Chengzhe reported the incident to him in detail.

Li Chengyun's eyes darkened, "To blow up the dungeon of Dali Temple, the amount of gunpowder is indispensable. You can check carefully along this line." The imperial court has strict control over the production and sale of gunpowder. It is not easy to get so much gunpowder. .

Li Chengzhe answered yes and went to do it immediately.

After everyone cleaned up the collapsed dungeon and confirmed that the Wang family of Southwest China and the men in black who came to rescue them were all dead, Li Chengyun and Dali Siqing went to the palace together to plead guilty.

In the imperial study room, the silence was terrifying.

The emperor was silent for a long time, "You need to give me an explanation on this matter. I will give you two days, if you can't find out, you... the seat of Dali Temple Minister should be replaced by someone else."

The Minister of Dali Temple wants to cry but has no tears.

As soon as he left the imperial study room, Dali Temple Minister hurriedly asked Li Chengyun for help: "My lord, you have to help me with this matter!"

"When the dungeon exploded, there were forbidden soldiers in Dali Temple. This king will not let this matter go unnoticed."

"Thank you, my lord."

Li Chengyun carefully thought over and over again, if Liao Huirong did this, those who were secretly staring at him would definitely find out.Unless he finds someone to do it, and it is someone who has no direct relationship with him and will not attract the attention of the hidden guards.

Therefore, Li Chengyun asked the hidden guard to go through all the people Liao Huirong had met these days, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

After filtering out these people, what was left was a place that the hidden guards hadn't spotted, which was the dungeon of Dali Temple.

Every time he entered the dungeon, although Liao Huirong would be surrounded by other forbidden troops, with the strength of ordinary forbidden troops, it was very easy for Liao Huirong to do something to avoid them.

With the direction, the suspiciousness of the person who gave the prison meal was quickly found out.

The imperial army secretly arrested the man, and finally learned that he helped Liao Huirong deliver the news, and he was also the one who buried the gunpowder in the dungeon.

At the same time, Lee Seung-cheol found a workshop that privately made and sold gunpowder, which coincided with the confession of the man who sent him to prison.

The black workshop was sealed up, and the entire line of illegal buying and selling of gunpowder was pulled out by the imperial army.

Liao Huirong was also secretly arrested.

It turned out that it was the King of Southwest who threatened him, so he kept on doing nothing, trying to get rid of King Southwest's family first.

The truth came out.The Southwest King is dead, and so are the remnants who sneaked into the capital to save him, and those who betrayed him and killed him were sentenced to beheaded.

The capital finally returned to its former calm.
