Feng Bao was attacked, and the opponent used at least one magical grenade! Huang Mengyu knew that something was serious as soon as he heard it. ,
Who is Feng Bao? He is the eunuch who has just taken up his post as the Chief of Ceremony, and his status is equivalent to the cabinet assistant of the outer court. Not to mention that he is also the favored eunuch of the current Holy Mother's biological mother, Concubine Li, and has a special status.
What is the God Machine Pomegranate? It was a n made of pig iron and was named after its shape resembling a pomegranate. This thing is as big as a bowl and its function is similar to that of s1n in later generations. There is a hole in the cartridge case to fill the case with poisonous and smoke-causing agents. When used, it is either thrown into the enemy's position or placed on the roadside. After the enemy's horses and horses trample it, the fire in the cannon is shocked and catches fire, causing the enemy to be poisoned, his throat blocked, and blinded.
Both the Beijing camp and the frontier army are equipped with this weapon, but it is usually used to defend the city. The method of making it is to first make a hollow spherical shell from dry mud, with a small hole on the shell surface to pour in poisonous and flammable properties, and to pass the fire line outside, and then put it into a wooden frame or barrel. To prevent it from breaking. During the battle, the defenders lit fire lines and threw them at the bottom of the city to poison and burn the enemy siege soldiers.
In short, this is a firearm commonly used in the army to defend cities.
As for what the stall owner said about the amazing power of the magical pomegranate used by the thieves, Huang Mengyu was someone who had seen battle formations, so after hearing this, he just regarded it as a normal expression after being frightened.
The problem isn't the power, the problem is that it's a military n!
Who is the thief, and why do he have such military firearms? Why would the thief attack Feng Bao, who spent most of his time in the palace? How did the thief know that Feng Bao would appear at the Waidong Factory at this time? Not to mention why the thief would be so bold to commit such a major crime in an important place like the Imperial City and Waidongchang?
Huang Mengyu's mind was a little confused, and he was even more nervous. He had a vague premonition of something ominous. ,
There is a person who has the ability to not only obtain various types of military firearms, but he even has firearms that are more advanced than those of the Beijing camp and the frontier army. Although he may not be able to predict Feng Bao's travel route in advance, he can definitely predict it first. After learning Feng Bao's location for a while, he might actually have the courage to commit a shocking crime.
Highly pragmatic and high-minded in politics!
Huang Mengyu was horrified, because in terms of motivation and ability, Gao Pragmatic was the first person he thought of who could meet these conditions!
"Have the thief been caught? Has the scene been sealed off?" Huang Mengyu shouted anxiously.
Feng Bao walked out of the noisy crowd, his face was livid, his lips were a little pale, he seemed to be frightened. He said to Huang Mengyu, "Huang Factory Supervisor, the situation was too chaotic at that time. The thief only caught one and looked at the rest." They all ran away, and our family has asked people from the Waidong Factory to seal off the ground near the case, and also sent people to notify Jin Yiwei to come and help."
Huang Mengyu felt even more nervous when he heard that he had been arrested alive, but he did not dare to show it on his face. Instead, he said, "It's a very important matter. Dongchang and Jinyiwei alone may not be enough. We think it's best to immediately notify the Five Cities Military and Horse Department to blockade them." capital, lest the thieves escape.”
Oh my god, Huang Mengyu didn't want to say this from the bottom of his heart. He now wished the "thief" could escape quickly.
Unexpectedly, Feng Bao was more concerned about the overall situation than he was. He waved his hand and said, "This matter only involves one person in our family. It's better not to make such a big show of it, especially the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. They are all foreign court officials who took the imperial examination. Why?" Our family's incident caused them to run wild in the streets on a hot day. No matter whether they caught anyone in the end, they would have to orchestrate our family's back."
The Wucheng Military and Horse Division was equivalent to the public security bureaus at all levels in the capital in later generations, but it was not one yamen, but the collective name of five yamen. The commanders of these five yamen are not military ministers, but are selected from civil servants in the right path of Kogong. Of course, they are generally not selected to the level of Jinshi. It is enough to have the title of Juren.
After hearing Feng Bao's words, Huang Mengyu couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking, are you so considerate?
But after all, Feng Bao's words are in line with Huang Mengyu's wishes. He is really worried that these "thieves" are really sent by Gao Pragmatism. Now only one of them is caught alive. Huang Mengyu feels that there is still a chance to change things. If they are all caught, then what will happen? I'm afraid it will be difficult to overturn the verdict.
So Huang Mengyu got off the donkey and asked, "What does Feng Gong mean?"
Feng Bao looked gloomy, took a deep breath, and said, "Factory Governor Huang, you encountered something like this the day before you took office. Our family feels very sorry. Otherwise, the thief we caught will be handed over to you." Factory, we must interrogate our family to find out who sent him to assassinate our family!"
Huang Mengyu quickly weighed it in his mind and decided that it would be best to leave the secret channel to the Jinyiwei. After all, Zhu Xixiao had been in charge of the Jinyiwei for many years, and he could handle anything. As for the Dongchang Straight Lady, we men can't even think of those few I haven't even remembered the name of the stall yet. If the matter really involves Gao Guanzheng, how can I suppress it?
But this matter involved the recently resigned Admiral of Dongchang. It was only natural for Dongchang to take over. Huang Mengyu could not shirk it. He could only pretend to be like this, nodded vigorously, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Feng, we I must personally interrogate the matter and will not tolerate any negligence."
Feng Bao seemed to have calmed down a little and nodded, but then he seemed to remember something. He stared at Huang Mengyu and said word by word, "Director Huang, this person is the only one left alive. We don't know how you are going to interrogate him. However, there is one thing we must remind you. We hope you will be careful and never let anyone die inexplicably, or suddenly become speechless. Do you understand what we mean?"
Huang Mengyu's heart was frightened, but his expression was very natural, and he smiled and said, "That's natural, that's natural."
Feng Bao stared at him for a while, and then suddenly said, "In that case, our family will not disturb Supervisor Huang Factory's handling of the case. We will go back to the palace first to calm down. If anything happens, I hope Supervisor Huang Factory will take care of you and me." For the sake of being an official, don’t forget to inform me.”
"Don't worry, Mr. Feng. As soon as there is news, our family will immediately send someone to report it."
Feng Bao stopped talking. He just acted like a great eunuch with a palm print, said a gentle "hmm", turned around and left.
Huang Mengyu smiled on the side and bowed slightly to say, "Mr. Feng, go slowly."
The stall owner seemed to be about to follow Feng Bao, but Huang Mengyu stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, since you are from my Dongchang and have witnessed this attack, you should follow the governor to the scene again." , please explain the situation to me."
The stall owner glanced at Feng Bao, but Feng Bao didn't say anything and just went on his own.
Seeing this, the stall keeper knew what Feng Bao meant, and hurriedly came towards Huang Mengyu, bowed and said, "I have a lowly position, Chu Zhiyuan, and I have seen the Governor." 11
