So, Xiang Xiaoqiang entered the palace three times.
This time I also took two unlucky guys with me: Snail and Goushun.
A total of three cars came from Dongchang, and the three of them happened to be in one car each. Xiang Xiaoqiang sat in the back seat of the car, with a man in a windbreaker sitting on the left and right, sandwiching him in the middle.
Compared with Snail and Dog Shun, who were scared out of their wits, Xiang Xiaoqiang was not too worried. Firstly, he had not committed anything; secondly, dead pigs were not afraid of boiling water - since there were already sticks and sticks on them.
Jin Yiwei's experience of drinking coffee means that he doesn't care about drinking coffee in Dongchang; thirdly, his "little wife" Xiuxiu is actually from Dongchang, so that can be regarded as "someone in there".
However, Xiang Xiaoqiang held back a lot of questions and was extremely depressed. The first thing was that although he knew Xiuxiu's identity, one of the two names "Shangxiu" and "Cuihua" must be fake. Of course, Xiang Xiaoqiang
Xiaoqiang hopes "Cuihua" is fake.
The second thing is, assuming her name is Shangxiu, then why is she hospitalized with the name "Miao Cuihua"?...Well, I, Xiaoqiang Bingxue, is smart and can probably guess: This may be Dongchang's prevention
As a measure, they found a woman named "Miao Cuihua" who suffered the same injuries as her and was about the same age, and the two of them exchanged identities and were hospitalized. In this way, if something like today happened, the rightful owner would be saved.
The third thing, and the most depressing thing, are the two people who came in first? They pretended to be Dongchang to get information, and the impersonation was so perfect that even professionals like Xiu Xiu didn't notice it. But the real thing was
After the Dongchang man came in, the two of them were scared to death. The short man insisted that he was their uncle. The tall man glared at him and stopped saying anything. Then he beat him to death without saying who their girl was.
.
Conscience of heaven and earth, this really makes Xiang Xiaoqiang very depressed. This is in front of Xiuxiu! How can you pursue someone? Although you can't pursue her after you are married, the problem is that this is about integrity and about others.
view of oneself.
Xiang Xiaoqiang racked his brains, but he couldn't think of whose uncle he could be. If Xiaoqiang hadn't been single before traveling through time, he would have wondered whether the old woman's family had traveled through time to find her.
It should be said that at noon, she and Qiu Qiu had just made a private decision for life, but it was only a life-long decision! And after only two hours in total, her family came to recognize her uncle? And she still found it here?
"It would be better if this were the case," Xiang Xiaoqiang thought in a depressed mood, "I would rather that the day after I meet every girl, their families would take the initiative to recognize me as their uncle... Of course, they must be beautiful.
At least be like Qiu Qiu."
There is another thing that is quite depressing. The two agents next to me were meditating in the car and sandwiched themselves in the middle. They didn't say a word. No matter how they asked, their mouths were tightly closed and they didn't even look at me.
.
Xiang Xiaoqiang suppressed his depression for a long time and almost cursed, but he didn't.
...it's really disgusting.
Military vehicles passed by from time to time outside the window, full of soldiers with guns and ammunition. Probably because of his phone call, Nanjing had already reacted, and it seemed that troops were being deployed to block the road out of the city and set up checkpoints.
The car sped along Changping Road and turned a corner at the end, heading towards another main road. Although this road was straight, wide and very impressive, there were relatively few cars and people, and it lacked the bustling feeling of Changping Road.
.
The trees planted on both sides of this road are not French plane trees, but an unnamed evergreen tree. Like guards, they are lush and green, stretching far to the horizon. The buildings passing by on both sides are not very tall, but many.
It is built of red bricks and blue bricks, with bluestone as the foundation. The sides are covered with ivy and moss. Although it has withered, it still looks very quaint.
I just took a good look at Changping Road, the most prosperous street in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Now it suddenly turns around, giving people a feeling of freshness and elegance, and I can't help but want to take a deep breath.
This road is quite stylish. Thinking to Xiang Xiaoqiang, he looked out the window with his head next to him and looked at the house number, trying hard to identify the name of this road. But because this road was quite quiet, the car drove faster.
The door sign on the side is very small, so I passed through several times before I could clearly see the road name:
Yudao Street.
Hey, Yudao Street! When later generations lived in Nanjing, the name of this road often lingered in my ears, and I didn’t pay much attention to it. But now, the three words "Yudao Street" have special meaning.
"Hey," Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly said, "Is Yudao Street where your emperor lives?"
He suddenly understood what he had said and immediately started to sweat. He stared at the two people next to him to see if they had any special expressions.
The man from Dongchang next to him moved his lips, turned his face, glanced at him, and then turned back. His throat moved again. He seemed to want to speak, but in the end he held back.
"call!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang closed his eyes, his chest beat wildly, and he swore to himself that he would never play with fire like this again.
However, I still felt an inexplicable feeling of joy in my heart, which finally made the other party feel depressed.
…
The car slowed down and stopped in front of a wrought iron fence.
Inside is a four-story British-style bungalow. It is very large and built with red bricks. Several chimneys are emitting white smoke, which looks very warm in the bleak winter. In the garden courtyard of the bungalow, there are several black cars parked. There are also some black cars under the porch.
It was quite busy, with people coming and going, both men and women, chatting and joking with each other in a hurry. The men were wearing suits and leather shoes, windbreakers and hats, and the women were wearing suits and skirts, carrying small Kun bags, and high-heeled shoes. They all looked very smart.
Where is this? What do these people do? Xiang Xiaoqiang muttered suspiciously, Dongchang's old lair? Male fans? Female fans?
……No way.
These people probably didn't have high positions. No one touched the cars when they came in. They all walked outside, raised their hands, and immediately got out of a rickshaw. Only then did Xiang Xiaoqiang see the sunshine on the other side of the road.
In the field, a group of rickshaw drivers were basking in the sun, smoking and chatting, laughing and waiting for business.
It shouldn’t be Dongchang, Xiang Xiaoqiang thought.
The three cars slowly checked their documents, and another helmeted head stuck into the car window. It looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang carefully before waving his hand and letting him in.
So strict, is it still Dongchang?
When I walked up to it, there was a cast iron plaque hanging under the porch, with large official script characters engraved on it:
——The Ming Empire-Dongjishi Factory-Second Bureau
...It’s really Dongchang.
…
It was very warm when we entered the door. Although it was a Western-style house, there was still a statue as tall as one person placed in the foyer. It was dark and fierce. Xiang Xiaoqiang guessed it was Yue Fei.
There is a couplet on the left and right. This kind of old-fashioned bungalow has thick walls and narrow windows. The hall is so dark that you have to strain to see the words clearly.
The first couplet is: three hundred years of loyalty, representing the characters of Taizu’s thirty dynasties
The second line is: 100 million people die together to restore the Ming Dynasty.
The horizontal comment is: Serve the country with loyalty and loyalty
Well, this is consistent with Dongchang in the novel.
Xiang Xiaoqiang's hand was itchy. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he approached the statue of Yue Fei and flicked it.
"when--"
The sound is loud and clear, well, it's made of copper.
A hand patted Xiang Xiaoqiang's shoulder, frightening him to the point of being hairy.
A faint voice in the back of my head:
"Doesn't it sound good?"
Before he could turn around, he pointed at the stairs with one hand:
"Go upstairs."
Wooden stairs, wooden handrails.
A group of people went up to the second floor "dong dong dong", and a voice said:
"turn left."
Just as Xiang Xiaoqiang was about to turn left, he pushed him with one hand:
"I didn't tell you, just keep walking."
When we went up to the third floor, the voice asked "turn right" again, and it wasn't him.
We went up to the fourth floor and reached the top floor. When Xiang Xiaoqiang looked back, he and a Dongchang man were the only ones. Snails and Goushun had both "evaporated".
The floor of the corridor is made of wood, and it makes a thumping sound when you walk up. The walls are painted white, and under the soft chandelier, the dark brown wooden doors are closed tightly. The entire corridor is very quiet.
The person behind him stopped in front of a door and knocked twice. After holding his breath for a while and hearing no sound, he took out the key and opened the door. He pointed inside and said to Xiaoqiang:
"You go inside and sit and wait for a while."
When Xiang Xiaoqiang entered, the man closed the door behind him and left.
Xiang Xiaoqiang leaned against the door and heard footsteps walking away. He gently turned the handle and opened the door a crack. The door was unlocked. There was an empty and quiet corridor outside.
Run? Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately had this thought out of habit.
But, is it necessary?
The door was not locked, which meant that he was not regarded as a prisoner. He indeed did not commit anything. Jin Yiwei had already explained everything that should be explained. Except for his falling from the sky, the bridge that later generations crossed was a bit unbelievable, but it was "intermittent"
Paranoia", the hospital issued a certificate.
But later, in order to prove that he was not a madman, he made up another story about Qiu Qiu, hijacking a plane from the Qing Dynasty, defecting, and falling into the Yangtze River. In the hospital, he also told Xiuxiu and the two people pretending to be Dongchang, Dongchang
These people can be identified at once.
But this is not a big mistake, it should not be a big deal. Haha, the two fakes downstairs should be really scared, they are probably scared to death at this moment.
The words of the military doctor mm echoed in his ears:
"...It's just an emotional control unit. Haha, this is the Ming Dynasty, not Russia, nor your Qing Dynasty..."
Based on yesterday's interrogation experience in Jinyiwei and the treatment I received now when I entered the Dongchang, these legendary Ming Dynasty spy agencies are indeed not as scary as I imagined. At least for me, they are still "civilized law enforcement"
"of.
What kind of society is the Ming Dynasty now? I have been here for a day and a night, and I have seen a lot, but I have only scratched the surface. I don’t know what kind of true face is hidden under the prosperous and peaceful surface of this behemoth?
Are they aware of their relationship with Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu, so they give them more face? Or are they aware of their heroic performance in the Qing Dynasty last night, so they admire them deeply?
Okay, okay, stop being sexual, think to Xiaoqiang, and just wait and see what happens.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the office carefully.
The office is about ten square meters. Although it is not big, it is very bright.
Dark wooden floor, white walls, waist-high wooden dado. The ceiling is very high, floor-to-ceiling windows, velvet curtains are drawn on both sides, and the winter sunshine shines into the entire room.
The large carved writing table is equipped with a cloth-shaded lamp, a desk calendar, an ink stand, and a quill pen. Next to the window are several pots of flowers, such as clivia, crab claw orchid, wintersweet, crabapple, etc. Next to another floor-to-ceiling window, there is a small wooden
On the shelf, there is a spherical glass fish tank on top, with two big-tailed red goldfish swimming happily, enjoying the warm sunlight pouring into the bathtub.
On the other side is a fireplace. In the hearth, the remaining flames are dancing on a pile of charcoal embers, almost extinguished, still emitting warm residual heat to the room. A small wire basket next to it contains pieces of wood.
On the wall above the fireplace is a motto:
"What the Holy Spirit cannot see, hear, think of, or cannot do, we must see, hear, think, and do on His behalf."
Damn, that’s so cool!
Xiang Xiaoqiang sat down on the sofa. The sofa at this time still had springs and a light blue cloth cover, which was very nostalgic.
It's a very comfortable office. Xiang Xiaoqiang guessed, could it be the factory supervisor's?
Probably not. Although it is comfortable, it is not too big or gorgeous. Besides, my "case" is probably not important enough for the factory supervisor of the East Factory to come to personally review it. It should be the office of some minor official down there.
There were a few stacks of newspapers spread out on the coffee table. Xiang Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up and he turned them over to look through them.
Damn, the bad newspapers at this time were all in traditional Chinese characters, and they were all printed vertically. It would make your eyes dazzled after just reading a few times.
But Xiaoqiang needed to know more about the world. He flipped through the pages eagerly, ignoring the small print and reading the major titles first.
…
"The U.S. Dow Jones Index hits a new low. When will the world's Great Depression end?"
…
"In 1936, the world situation became more tense"
…
"The end of the London Naval Treaty next year will trigger a new round of shipbuilding competition?"
…
"Japan's new aircraft carrier was launched today and was named "Soryu" by the Japanese Emperor"
…
"The heavy cruiser "Weiqing" was launched in Ningbo yesterday. An official from the Navy Ministry revealed that this ship is the last treaty ship of the Ming Dynasty"
…
"my country has become the largest buyer of oil from the Dutch East Indies"
…
""Wing Taiji" department store went bankrupt and major shareholder Sun Zhaoxing jumped to his death this morning"
…
"The Ball to Celebrate the Anniversary of His Majesty's Accession to the Throne Will Hold a Charity Auction to Relieve the Poor"
…
"The latest American musical and dance film released during Christmas time, the scene is gorgeous and unprecedented - when you come, you will get a pack of Spiced King melon seeds"
…
"Royal spokesperson denies that His Majesty has made clear his intention to reshuffle the cabinet"
…
"Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito of Japan arrived at Lushun Military Port in the battleship "Nagato" at noon yesterday and arrived in Beijing this morning to start his half-month "visit" to the puppet Qing regime.
…
"British Prince Edward is visiting the world on the battleship "HMS Hood" and will arrive in my country in early February to spend New Year's Eve with His Majesty and the people of Ming Dynasty"
…
Xiang Xiaoqiang was looking at it intently when the door rang. Someone was opening the door with a key.
With a start, he closed the newspaper and stared at the door.
The keyhole turned twice, and a woman's voice outside the door said to herself:
