On the Avenue

"A reincarnated Yinsha named Zhongdao?"

Chen Shi carefully inquired about the detailed information of Zhong Dao's reincarnation. The boat girl and the boatman didn't know much about it. They only knew that the underworld man made a mistake and escaped from the underworld and was reincarnated in Du County, Jinzhou Province.

"Zhong Dao fled to Du County and lost track of him. Later, someone in the underworld speculated that he had been reincarnated."

The boat girl's eyes flashed and she said, "There is a difference between Yin and Yang. It is inconvenient for people from the underworld to come to the Yang world, so they need people from the Yang world to help them do this. You only need to go to Du County, find Zhong Dao, capture him, and send him to Leave it to us."

The boatman continued: "After we receive the bell, we will go to the underworld to help you regain your daughter's soul.

She was not a felon like you in the underworld, and she was not guarded very tightly.

The boat girl smiled and said: "When the two of us go, we will definitely be able to capture him!"

Chen Shi looked at the two of them suspiciously. The boatman, boat aunt, and daughter had honest smiles on their faces, but he always felt that the guy in the underworld was telling lies, and this guy named Zhong Dao was probably very difficult to mess with.

The boat girl and boatman are extremely powerful. If Zhong Dao is really unbeatable, why don't they go?

Instead, give this credit to Chen Shi?

"Okay! I agree!" Chen Shi said decisively.

The father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly urged him to get off the boat, saying: "You are not going to the brothel. Don't occupy our boat. We still have to do business! Now is the time when business is good!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Do you have to make money even if you are undercover?"

The boat girl sneered and said: "How can we make ends meet if we don't make money? Where my father and daughter live, the rent costs several taels of silver a month! Add in the daily expenses, and it's really a waste of money. Does Mr. Chen want to go to a brothel? The slave family I know which girl sings melodiously."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I don't have any money either."

"You can impress the girl with your talent and you won't need to pay for it." The boat girl said with a smile.

Chen Shi jumped to the shore and was not fooled.

"A solid man." The boatman praised.

The boat girl chuckled and said, "Even if you are a solid man, haven't you fallen into our trap?"

The boatman also smiled: "If he goes to capture Zhong An, we don't have to take risks. If he wins, it's our credit. If he loses, he is our credit."

The boat girl smiled and said: "If he wins, we, father and daughter, will cover our faces to rescue his mother's soul and repay his kindness. We will then tie up his mother and send them to the underworld. It is our credit again. And it’s double the credit!”

Even though the boatman was calm, he could not hide his excitement: "Coupled with the support of the Little King of Hell, we two...

"What a win!" the boat girl said crisply.

At the beginning of the lanterns in Xijing, people crisscrossed the streets, and cars and horses were connected end to end, making it difficult to move forward.

There are also people who sacrifice the Nascent Soul and hold themselves up to walk in the air, filled with brilliance.

There are even some people who are escaping with the light of fire, water or sword, leaving traces of different colors in the air from time to time.

However, there were also people who lacked magic power and lost their footing and fell, or they collided in the air and died in pairs.

At this time, the officials from Gongtian Mansion went to deal with it.

Chen Shi was thinking about something while walking through the crowded crowd towards the inner city.

At this time, Chen Tang came into his sight, wearing a black turban and holding a lantern in his hand, waiting for him in the crowd.

Chen Shi stepped forward and the two walked together.

Chen Shi told the request of the boatman and his daughter. Chen Tang was silent for a moment and said, "Are they trustworthy?"

"His father and daughter are ghosts and gods, and their words are lies. Only half of them can be believed. But whether it is credible or not, I have to do it." Chen Shi said.

Chen Tang said: "About the news about Zhongdao in Duxian County, I will ask someone to check it first."

Chen Shi shook his head and said: "Your target is too big, and there are too many people watching you. I don't use your people, I use mine to investigate."

Chen Tangjun glanced at him and said, "Jinzhou Province has fifty-four counties under its jurisdiction.

Xijing is also in Jinzhou Province and is one of the most prosperous places. Du County is located in the mountains in the northeast. The geography there is dangerous. You must be careful when you go out. "

Chen Shi smiled and said: "I will definitely be fully prepared."

"There is also a decree from the imperial court, asking you to go to Guangjiku of the Ministry of Revenue to be the ambassador, responsible for the dispatch of money and weapons in Guangjiku. Tomorrow you go to the Ministry of Revenue to accept the post, and then go to Guangjiku. Someone will take you Familiar with the process.”

Chen Tang said, "Although the ambassador is not a high official, he is extremely important. The military equipment and weapons in Xijing have to go through Guangjiku. The armaments and firearms of the imperial court also have to go through Guangjiku. Every weapon has to go through Guangjiku. They are all very important, and every kilogram of gunpowder is of great importance.”

Chen Shi said: "Chen Tang, did you buy this official for me with money? Or did you give it to me for personal gain?"

Chen Tang shook his head, took a deep look at him, and said: "In the past few years that I have been the Right Minister, Ambassador Guangjiku has changed seven people. Five of them were beheaded because their hands were unclean and they took things they shouldn't have. There were two others who were targeting several military camps in Xijing and were secretly eliminated, but no results were found afterwards. "

Chen Shi was awestruck. It seemed that this official position was not bought by Chen Tang.

Chen Tang said: "Someone wants to take advantage of you and me, so I arranged for you to be the ambassador of Guangjiku. Countless eyes are watching you. As long as you make a mistake, there will be reasons to punish you."

He stopped and said: "Do you know why I am able to achieve the position of a third-grade official? I rely on my duty. I am meticulous in my work and will not make any mistakes. The eight warehouses and four warehouses of the household department are in my hands In the past few years of operation, there have been no mistakes. Since you have joined the household department, please remember these four words. "

He handed the lantern to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi took the lantern and saw the word "caution" written on the side of the lantern facing him, and the word "xiaowei" written on the back.

Be cautious.

Chen Tang said: "You are an official at the age of thirteen. If you are not careful, you will be caught. These four words, you and I encourage each other."

Chen Shi looked at these four words, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Chen Tang, I won't cause you any trouble."

The two returned home and after dinner, Chen Shi returned to the room and saw an ambassador's uniform lying next to the bed.

There are also two sets of official uniforms in the cabinet.

Early the next morning, Chen Shi changed into official uniform. Chen Tang did not order anyone to come, but asked Sun Yisheng to lead him to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The Hubu Yamen has a large number of people, but most of them are scribes and officials from the Qing Li Department of the fifty provinces. They are responsible for managing the money, grain, household registration, and materials of the fifty provinces.

Xiniu Xinzhou is too big, and the household office is also bloated. There are too many people assigned by various aristocratic families, and there are only a few people in each department.

When Chen Shi followed Sun Yisheng as he walked by, he saw some people drinking tea, while others were walking between various departments.

Running back and forth from building to building, I was so busy that my legs almost broke.

There were also several scholars who entered the Ministry of Household Affairs together, but they were all middle-aged, and they were also serving as ambassadors and deputy envoys.

Chen Shi asked: "Master Sun, are the ambassadors and deputies in each library changed diligently?"

"Of course diligent."

Sun Yisheng said, "The money handled every day is calculated in hundreds of thousands of taels. There are countless people outside who want to give you money and beauties. As long as you give them a note and a deposit. You can still withstand this temptation for a day or two. , but after a long time, very few can withstand the temptation.”

“Their predecessors—

"He was still alive a few days ago, but he should be in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner now."

"oh."

The two followed the inspector to Guangjiku, where Guangjiku's deputy envoys and junior officials were already waiting. After the officials had finished introducing themselves, they took out Guangjiku's account books and took Chen Shi to visit Guangjiku. of reserves.

'Sir, Guangjiku has made 200,000 continuous lead bullets, 400,000 buckshot lead bullets, and 400,000 target gun lead bullets; it has made 23,000 five-dragon spears and 23,000 three-eye fires. , Bird 40,000 strokes,

Eighty thousand large, medium and small iron quinoas; Sir, please come this way. "

Chen Shi looked at the pile of projectiles and stopped in front of Tie Li.

I saw that this big iron quinoa was as tall as a person, even taller than him. It had iron spikes with various thunder talismans imprinted on them.

"Sir, this kind of iron quinoa is painted with thirty-six lines of Nine Thunder Talismans and forty-eight lines of Five Thunder Talismans are engraved inside. It is filled with three hundred kilograms of gunpowder and white sugar. It is called Five Yang Thunder Gunpowder. It is very powerful."

A small official responsible for supervising the production of iron quinoa said, "The iron thorns on this object are floating. If the collision is slightly violent, the iron thorns will squeeze the gunpowder inside and explode. When it explodes, the iron quinoa shell will split into three thousand pieces. , each iron thorn will break into two hundred pieces."

Chen Shi's voice was trembling: "Here, take two out and go to the Quqiang River. I want to check the power and see if you have cut corners and fooled me."

The inspector and the deputy envoys and minor officials looked at each other and said quickly: "Master Xiao Chen, you can't do it!"

Sun Yisheng also quickly advised: "Master Xiao Chen, you can't do this! If you take it out and blow it up, I'm afraid there will be countless casualties on both sides of the Quqian River! Moreover, if any of these weapons are missing, you will be the only one to ask questions!"

Chen Shi reluctantly looked away and walked forward, looking back three times.

The prosecutor, the deputy envoys and the minor officials looked at each other and said in the same mind: "This ambassador, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive until next month and he will be on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner."

"Sir, please come this way. This is the artillery built by the supervisor."

They followed Chen Shi, ran quickly, led Chen Shi to inspect the artillery, looked through the accounts, and said, "One thousand cannons for generals, 2,400 cannons for destroying captives, and 2,400 cannons for francis." , the mouth of the bowl is ten thousand,

Three thousand rockets and five thousand nozzles. "

Chen Shi came to a cannon that stood in front of a two-foot-long general. He clenched his fists to prevent his hands from shaking with excitement.

Seeing the dragon-headed rocket again, he couldn't bear it anymore, and his hands finally trembled.

"I'll go outside and try this!" Chen Shi said.

Sun Yisheng hurriedly stopped him: "Master Xiao Chen, you can't even try this!"

Chen Shi looked at these rockets and saw that the rockets were about two feet long, with dragon heads, dragon bodies, and even dragon tails.

It just doesn't have four legs, it's filled with gunpowder, and the wind and cloud symbols, seal characters and thunder symbols are drawn on the outside.

This thing can fly dozens of miles in the air on the wind, extremely fast, and then explode with extremely powerful force!

When it explodes, there are not only wind, thunder, fire and smoke, but also dragon roars and strange power, destroying everything!

Chen Shi looked left and right, reluctant to leave.

Several minor officials whispered to each other and whispered: "This Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, may not be able to board the Ten Thousand Souls Banner tomorrow."

They led Chen Shi to see all kinds of weapons and equipment, including tens of thousands of bows and arrows, large crossbows, chariot crossbows, spears, long knives, long axes, shields, waist knives, armor, golden drums, fire sickles, fire soldiers' poles and other weapons. They are the talisman soldiers who drew the talisman seals and offered incense every day!

In addition, there are tens of thousands of kilograms of saltpeter, sulfur, carbon powder, sugar and other materials.

Chen Shi stared at the weapons in Guangjiku with his eyes wide open. He finally finished looking at them. It was already afternoon when he walked out. He was hungry but energetic.

"I am in charge of so many firearms. I can annihilate Xijing!" he thought to himself.

Sun Yisheng saw his excitement and whispered, "Master Chen, you can't touch the things in Guangjiku. If you do, you will be beheaded."

Chen Shi hesitated and whispered, "What if one or two are missing?"

He wanted to take out every kind of weapon in Guangjiku and try it out to see how powerful it was.

Sun Yisheng said seriously, "No! The inspector will check the accounts!"

Chen Shi sighed with regret and asked the inspector beside him, "Master, are you corrupt?"

The inspector shook his head quickly.

Sun Yisheng was worried in his heart: "I don't know who is so insidious, putting Master Chen in this position, clearly preparing him to make a mistake."

It's just that he is the ambassador of Guanghuiku, and he has his own duties. It's impossible for him to keep an eye on Chen Shi all the time. He has to go back to Guanghuiku.

At this time, a group of more than ten people hurried over, and laughed from afar: "Guangjiku Ambassador, I have been ordered to come to pick up firearms! Why don't you come out to greet me?"

Sun Yisheng frowned slightly, looked outside, and it was the disciple of the Ma family who was beaten by Chen Shi on the way to the exam. It seems to be called Ma Zongzhou.

Ma Zongzhou is wearing official uniforms at this moment, and the more than ten scholars around him who are also taking the exams are Zhou Qianying and others who have met on the road. At this moment, they are also wearing official clothes. Obviously, they have been arranged with official positions after entering Xijing.

They were originally Juren, and it is normal to arrange official positions.

However, judging from their official uniforms, everyone's position is not low. Some are from the eighth rank, some are the eighth rank, and Ma Zongzhou is a seventh rank official.

Chen Shi led a group of clerks out of Guangjiku and looked at the deputy envoy. The deputy envoy hurried forward and said, "Does your Excellency have any documents?"

Ma Zongzhou pushed the deputy envoy aside, walked towards Chen Shi, and said with a smile, "You have nothing to do here. Chen Shi, I am the experience of Gongtian Prefecture, and I am a seventh-rank official. Today I come to ask for firearms and military equipment. Why don't you prepare for it?"

Chen Shi's face was normal, and he said, "Please show me the documents."

Ma Zongzhou sat down and said with a smile, "Chen Shi, you don't show courtesy when you see me? Since ancient times, officials of higher ranks can crush people to death. I am two ranks higher than you. Please kowtow to me once, and the places where you offended me in the past will be written off."

Zhou Qianying, Wang Ping and others looked at him with smiles.

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You want me to kowtow to you to apologize?"

Wang Ping smiled and said: "Master Chen, Master Ma asked you to apologize, which is already a special favor. You are a ninth-rank official, and he is a seventh-rank official. If he wants to punish you and make things difficult for you, he has many ways to do it."

Zhou Qianying persuaded softly: "That's right, little Master Chen, Master Ma is a high-ranking official after all, and he is willing to make peace with you, so you should bow your head and admit your mistakes."

"Master Sun, close the door." Chen Shi said.

Sun Yisheng.

Chen Shi slowly took off his official robe and said lightly: "Do you think that I dare not kill people when I put on this clothes?"

He threw the official robe on the ground and walked towards Ma Zongzhou.

Ma Zongzhou knew that something was wrong, so he immediately stood up, urged his skills, and turned his magic. However, as soon as his blood moved,

Chen Shi was in front of him, and Ma Zongzhou had a severe pain in his lower abdomen. He flew out like a cannonball and hit a general cannon, knocking the huge cannon body to one side!

Ma Zongzhou struggled to stand up, and heard a series of explosions. He looked over and saw Zhou Qianying, Wang Ping and others all fell to the ground.

"I'll give Chen Tang a favor, and I'll be a good kid for a few days."

Chen Shi picked up Zhou Qianying, tied the girl to a dragon-headed rocket, and placed the rocket on the turret.

He walked in front of Ma Zongzhou. Ma Zongzhou was about to resist, but his true energy was dispersed by Chen Shi's two punches, and he was also tied to a rocket.

"But even if I kill you, which of the Thirteen Aristocratic Families dares to ask?

Chen Shi tied these people to the rockets one by one, and said to Sun Yisheng, who was stunned on the side: "Lord Sun, go and notify Gongtian Mansion and ask them to come to me to apologize, otherwise I will send them to heaven. "

Sun Yisheng jumped up, ran out in a hurry, and shouted: "Don't kill anyone first!"
