Feng Bao was attacked, and the opponent used at least one magical pomegranate! Huang Mengyu knew that something was going wrong as soon as he heard this.
Who is Feng Bao? He is the eunuch who has just taken up his post as the Chief of Ceremonies, and his status is equivalent to the chief assistant of the cabinet of the outer court. Not to mention that he is also the favored eunuch of the current Holy Mother's biological mother, Concubine Li Guifei, and has a special status.
What is the Shenji Pomegranate? It is a bomb made of pig iron and is named after its shape. It is about the size of a bowl and its function is similar to the hand grenade of later generations. There is a hole in the shell to facilitate loading into the shell.
Toxic gunpowder and smoke-producing agents. When used, they may be thrown into enemy lines and explode; they may be placed on the roadside and trampled by enemy horses, causing the fire in the gun to be shocked and ignite, causing an explosion; or they may cause the enemy to be poisoned, seal his throat, and blind him.
Both the Beijing camp and the frontier army are equipped with this kind of 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 surface of the shell to pour in poisonous chemicals.
Incendiary gunpowder is passed through the fire line to the outside, and then put into a wooden frame or barrel to prevent it from breaking. During the battle, the defenders ignited the fire line and threw it under the city to explode, poisoning and burning the enemy troops attacking the city.
Soldier.
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 is not the power, but that it is a military bomb!
What was the identity of the thief, and why did he have such military firearms? Why did the thief attack Feng Bao, who lived in the palace most of the time? How did the thief know that Feng Bao would appear in the Waidong Factory at this time? Not to mention the thief.
Why are you so bold to commit such a major crime in an important place like Waidongchang near the imperial city?
Huang Mengyu's mind was a little confused, and his mood was even more nervous. He had a vague premonition of something ominous.
There is a person who has the ability to not only obtain all kinds 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.
Learn Feng Bao's location immediately; he...maybe really has 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, and he looked frightened. He said to Huang Mengyu: "Director Huang, the situation was too chaotic at that time. The thief only caught one person.
, the rest have all run away, our family has asked people from the Waidong Factory to seal off the ground near the incident, and also sent people to notify Jin Yiwei to come and help."
Huang Mengyu was 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 is a very important matter. Dongchang and Jinyiwei alone may not be enough. We think it is best to notify the Wucheng Military and Horse Department immediately."
Seal the capital to prevent the thieves from escaping."
Unfortunately, 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, so 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.
For our family's sake, let them run wild in the streets on a hot day. Regardless of whether they catch anyone in the end, they will have to orchestrate our family's back."
The Wucheng Military and Horse Division is equivalent to the public security bureaus at all levels in the capital in later generations. However, it is not one yamen, but the collective name of five yamen. The commanders of these five yamen are not military ministers, but selected from the civil servants of Kegong.
, of course, it is generally not necessary to be selected to the level of Jinshi. It is almost enough to have the title of Juren.
Huang Mengyu was a little surprised after hearing Feng Bao's words, and thought to himself: 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 Pragmatic. Now only one of them is captured 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: "Huang Factory Supervisor, you encountered something like this the day before you took office as factory supervisor. Our family feels very sorry... Otherwise, the thief we caught will be handed over."
To give you Dongchang, we must interrogate clearly who sent him to assassinate our family!"
Huang Mengyu quickly weighed it in his mind and thought to himself: I'm afraid it would be best to leave it to the Jinyiwei. After all, Zhu Xixiao has been in charge of the Jinyiwei for many years, and he can handle anything. As for Dongchang... the straight mother-in-law, we men can't even do it.
I still haven’t remembered the names of those big stalls. If the matter really involves Gao Guanzheng, how can you suppress it?
But this matter involved the recently resigned Admiral of Dongchang. It was only natural that Dongchang would 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.
Our family will definitely investigate it personally and will never allow any negligence."
Feng Bao seemed to have calmed down a little and nodded, but then he seemed to think of something again. 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."
, But, there is one thing we must remind you... I 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, we 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 in the same palace, 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 seal, 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 experienced this attack, you should go with me again."
At the scene, please explain the situation to the governor."
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 down and said, "I am a humble official, Chu Zhiyuan, and I have met the Governor."
