Wan Songshan has a lot of things in his arms. In addition to the bulging money bags, there are also some small bronze mirrors with rouge and gouache. There is no doubt that he bought them to please a certain young lady. These days, any small official in the yamen, even if he is a Small characters as big as sesame seeds and mung beans are also played outside to find a good match. This was the case in the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, and it was also common in the late Xiao Te Dynasty.
Xiao Temo threw the money bag to Liu Liufu and then reached into the inner layer of Wan Songshan's official robe. Wan Songshan said hurriedly: "Brother, I have taken out all the valuable things, what else can I take out?"
Xiao Temo chuckled and said: "It seems that there is something else in the mezzanine. Maybe you are hiding something valuable."
Wan Songshan said seriously: "There is nothing valuable. It's just a letter sent from my father's hometown."
Xiao Temo finally touched the letter. Seeing that there was not a single word on the brown paper envelope, he raised his hand and said, "What I said is not true. Is this a letter? There is not even a signature. You are telling lies with your eyes wide open."
Wan Songshan said anxiously: "What do you want to sign the letter that my father asked someone to bring? Several brothers hurriedly let me go. Recently I heard that the Western thieves were entering the city in detail, and the number of patrols in the city has increased a lot. If If they find out, some of you will be in trouble."
Xiao Temo chuckled and said, "You are kind-hearted. Don't worry. Wait until I see what's inside. If it turns out it's nothing valuable, I'll let you go."
Wan Songshan said anxiously: "You can't look at it."
Xiao Temo stared at Wan Songshan in confusion and said: "Why can't you read it? Since it is your family letter, is there any shocking secret in it? Don't worry, even if your father and son conspire to rebel, we will not do anything to us. I won’t tell you, I just want to see if you are honest. If you lie to your face, we will let you go, but we can’t guarantee that you won’t lead someone to come and get me.”
Wan Songshan had a look of uncertainty on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let me tell you that what's there is not a letter from home, but a blueprint from our weapons supervisor. You'd better not look at this thing, it won't be of much benefit to you." , the envelopes are all sealed with lacquer, if the seal is damaged, I will be punished."
Xiao Te finally waved his dagger and said: "What do you want us to do? I just want to know if you are honest in what you say. This has a bearing on our lives." After saying that, he waved his hand and said to Liu Liufu: "Take it apart and look at it, kid. Are you honest? If what you say is untrue, I will stab him directly, which will save you endless troubles."
Liu Liufu stretched out his hand to tear open the seal, reached in and searched for a long time, and took out a stack of square pieces of white silk.
Wan Songshan said anxiously: "You can't look at it. If you look at it, you will be beheaded."
Xiao Temo cursed in a low voice: "I'll cut off your tongue again, don't let it go." After saying that, he put the dagger in his hand towards Wan Songshan's mouth, and a cold air suddenly filled Wan Songshan. Matsuyama shut up quickly.
Liu Liufu slowly unfolded the white silk. Xiao Temo's heart was beating fast. With the lights reflected in the river, he could still see the writing and patterns on it clearly. After unfolding the white silk, he could only see several small figures drawn with ink on it. Picture, surrounded by writing.
Xiao Temo was ecstatic when he saw the long strip pattern in the middle. The shape of the thing was exactly like the firearms used by those on the school field. The three or four small pictures around it were the head, tail, middle section, cross section and various shapes. All kinds of data, the ratio of gunpowder, tubes, warhead materials, engineering, how to operate, etc.; everything is listed in detail.
Xiao Temo glanced at Liu Liufu and said, "Take it over there to the bright room and take a closer look. You can't see clearly here. It's a big dark block. I don't know what it says."
Liu Liufu didn't understand. He was ecstatic in his heart, but he pretended to be nonchalant and spread the white silk on the ground. He used his specialty as a Hanlin scholar to learn and memorize knowledge, and quickly memorized it word for word. He memorized the above three times in a row.
I wrote down all the graphics and words in my mind accurately, recited it silently again, and found that it was correct. Then I came back with the white silk and said: "I don't know what the drawing is? Look at the round and thick appearance, it seems that
Like that thing."
Xiao Temo laughed and said: "Doesn't it look like a kid? I said this, Mr. Wan, if you had said it was a fool's errand, wouldn't we have stopped watching it? Who cares about looking at that stuff? Don't we all have it below? It's just a lie.
Let’s say it’s a letter from home, and what kind of firearm is it? Is this necessary?”
Wan Songshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: This group of people seems to be illiterate, and the writing on the side is clearly written, and they actually said it was that thing; if I had known that they were illiterate, I wouldn't have been so anxious to hide it.
At that moment, he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, I was joking with my best friend. Xiaofei asked me to draw a hanging hanging for her to hang on the bedside to admire. You guys want to see it, but I was afraid of staining your eyes, so I tried my best to stop it.
Please forgive me."
Xiao Temo chuckled and said: "You are not a little guy at all. That little girl must love this thing of yours so much. Wouldn't it be over if you said no earlier? You seem to be a passionate person. I won't make things difficult for you.
I'll let you go now. You have to borrow these ten dozen coins for use first. It's better to return this jade piece to Zhao intact."
After saying that, he balled up the white silk and stuffed it into the envelope. He stuffed everything into Wan Songshan's arms, swung the dagger to cut off the cloth strips tied to his hands and feet, and said: "I believe you, so
Let you go, you have to wait until we all leave before you can go home. We have brothers watching you nearby. If you dare to report to the official or shout randomly, we will kill all your family members and friends."
Wan Songshan hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "How dare you, how dare you, good man, I will do as you are told, and I will never yell or wander around."
Xiao Temo nodded, patted Wan Songshan on the shoulder, waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!"
A group of people quickly climbed up the embankment, onto Bianhe Street, and quickly disappeared under the dim light.
Wan Songshan stood in a daze for a long time, then slowly climbed up the embankment, dusted himself off, cursed in a low voice, and left quickly.
In the pavilion post, Xiao Temo hurriedly ordered people to lay out white paper and polish the ink. Liu Liufu didn't stop at all, drawing all the memory patterns in his mind on the paper, including all the small characters listed around the explanations.
OK, read it through and say: "It is finished!"
Xiao Temo's eyes shone brightly and he said, "Is there anything I've omitted?"
Liu Liufu patted his chest and said, "It's true. How can I get into the Hanlin Academy if I don't have this ability? If I make a mistake, you can use my head as a chamber pot."
Xiao Temo carefully twirled the piece of paper, read it over and over again, and burst out laughing: "It took no effort to get there even after wearing iron shoes. This kid must have summoned the Ordnance Supervision and Firearms Department."
The supervisor went to the house to explain the making of firearms in detail. He thought that this drawing must be the latest and improved version, which is better than the one they used on the school field. Unexpectedly, God bless me, and I got it, hahaha.
"
Liu Liufu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. I wish you great blessings. You are truly a blessed general of Daliao."
Xiao Temo stroked his steel brush-like beard and laughed and said: "It's ridiculous that Su Jin is hiding from us. He is really arranging the manufacture of firearms. Fortunately, I have good ears and bright eyes, and with God's blessing, I can do it this time."
They are pretty."
Liu Liufu nodded and said: "Without further delay, it is only proper that we leave Bianliang and return to Daliao immediately. If we stay for one more day, there is no guarantee that Wan Songshan will not speak out, and extraneous matters will ruin the matter."
Xiao Temo nodded and shook his head and said: "Don't be too hasty. Being too hasty will only make people suspicious. Tomorrow we will go to Su Jin, but he will definitely refuse to talk, so we deliberately said that we would go to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to force us to
He's talking to us; let's not get too entangled in the negotiation, just agree and sign the contract and leave, so that we won't arouse suspicion and can go back with this treasure picture openly."
Liu Liufu, tall and pointed with a big finger, praised: "This is a wonderful plan! Your Majesty, the envoy, really knows all the plans and is a man of God!"
