Although he was trapped in the Central Army Governor's Office, Ye Chunqiu was still neither humble nor arrogant when facing Zhang Mao. He just stood up politely and said, "I have met the British Duke."

Zhang Mao smiled at him, and his solemn face seemed a little softer, and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk."

Ye Chunqiu sat down as he said, and Zhang Mao was also sitting on the sofa. He looked at Ye Chunqiu and said, "Is it still a habit to live here?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "Fortunately, thanks to my husband's care, otherwise..."

"Haha..." Before Ye Chunqiu could finish his words, Zhang Mao smiled heartily and shook his head, "The situation outside now is very bad. Many people support me to kill one to warn you as a warning to others. Actually, Liu Fang deserves to die. Speaking of which, he, a deputy Qianhu who relies on his kindness, was brave enough to actually go to beat the heroes of our Ming Dynasty. But..." Zhang Mao paused for a moment and continued, "But the most troublesome thing at the moment is not this. In short, Liu Jin has already issued a note saying that he wants me to hand you over to the imperial prison, and said that it is the factory guard. I want to ask some questions."

Zhang Mao smiled and continued, "But, I have already refused. At present, it is better for Duke Zhenguo to be in the Governor's Office of the Central Army."

This meaning is too obvious. Just now, Zhang Mao gave Ye Chunqiu a huge favor.

Look, Liu Jin is very inconsistent with your Duke Zhenguo. If you go to the imperial prison, will you have a good life? It may not even be possible that you will die in the imperial prison inexplicably. Even if the emperor is furious, he will basically just seek some Jinyiwei as scapegoats. But I have withstood Liu Jin's pressure. Liu Jin is now powerful.

The meaning inside is self-evident.

Ye Chunqiu said, "Mr. Xie protects you."

Zhang Mao said with a stern hand: "This is just a simple task, there is no need to do so. It is natural for me to support my younger generation. It is said that you have been writing and painting here for the past two days? Well, write and paint well, and there is no need to worry. Although Liu Yu was crying everywhere, the court's judgment has not come so soon. You are here to rest quietly."

Ye Chunqiu said yes repeatedly.

It seems that Zhang Mao came here just to explain these words. Before his butt was hot, he grew up and said with a smile: "What do you need? Even if you ask me to tell me, I will naturally do my best to give you convenience. I have someone to say hello to you in your family. Please rest assured. Okay, that's all, I have to say goodbye to you. I have to say goodbye first."

Zhang Mao's attitude made Ye Chunqiu feel the spring breeze coming. Ye Chunqiu sent him out. When Zhang Mao left, he sat back on the sofa and was completely addicted to his own thoughts.

He obviously knew that Zhang Mao would definitely go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, but since he came, he must have his purpose. However, after he came, he just said a few words of concern and left.

It seems...it's indeed becoming more and more interesting.

Ye Chunqiu wanted to laugh in his heart, but it seemed that his letter still had an effect.

He calmed down and threw these distracting thoughts out of the sky, took out the draft again, and continued to study his own gun production. He outlined the structure drawings one by one, and at the same time, he had been revised many times. Because he was quietly in the room every day, and food and drink were sent by someone, Ye Chunqiu was quite like an isolated person, which gave him real thoughts to think.

Ye Chunqiu felt that the draft was not very satisfactory and always felt that it was a little bit worse. Although he knew that the design of anything had gains and losses. If the accuracy was improved, the range might be sacrificed. If the range was increased, the cost might be greatly increased.

He suddenly realized that he did not have a real set of standards, or that he had never thought about what he needed.

Since it is a firearm and it also needs to be equipped on a large scale, the top priority is the cost. The cost must be within a reasonable range. In addition, it is convenience. This is why Ye Chunqiu was thinking about the reason why he had to think about the rear-loading gun. If it was a bore gun, it would be cumbersome to load gunpowder. The design speed was too low, and it was easy to carry it. Could it be that a musket would be carried like the current musket of the Ming Dynasty?

After thinking hard, Ye Chunqiu decided on the direction, started over and made a concerted effort.

After several consecutive days, he lived a comfortable life, but Ye Chunqiu didn't know anything about the outside world. Although the servant would occasionally tell some of it, it was all rumors in the market and the vague words, and the authenticity of the news was also questionable.

Ye Chunqiu seemed to care at all, until one day, someone came outside and said, "The factory guards are here, come and ask about the case."

Ye Chunqiu knew that the factory guards would always be very enthusiastic about such things, so he took away everything. After a while, a man who was given flying fish uniform came in. He had a national face and a slender body, but he looked pretty. He bowed to Ye Chunqiu and smiled and said, "I am the commander of the Jinyiwei Shi Wenyi, and I have met Duke Zhenguo."

He smiled with a deep meaning, and Ye Chunqiu was just the head of his jaw.

He probably knew this person a little. He was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he seemed to be a powerful man. However, when Gu Dayong was in charge of the West Factory, he was the minion of the West Factory. When Liu Jin took over the inner factory, he immediately changed the hall and became Liu Jin's close-fitting cotton jacket.

Of course, all of these were learned from Qian Qian, saying that the commander of the Jinyiwei was always insidious and cunning, never had any opinion, and always followed the people in the palace.

After Shi Wenyi reported to his family, he did not dare to be too much about Ye Chunqiu. This is the Central Army Governor's Office, not the Jinyiwei Edict Prison. Moreover, Ye Chunqiu, the Duke of Zhenguo, was still there, so he could not tolerate him being presumptuous in front of him.

Ye Chunqiu nodded to him, too lazy to say polite words like long-term rejuvenation, but the two of them sat down separately. There was obviously a lecturer behind him. At this time, he had already sat down after the case, rolled up paper and pen to prepare for record.

Shi Wenyi was at least the commander-in-chief of the personal army. Thinking back then, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei was also arrogant. If it weren't for the palace to add professional spies and criminal institutions such as the East Factory, the West Factory, the Inner Factory, and the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei, would have been in power for a long time.

Shi Wenyi is also a second-rank military officer in his personal army. Naturally, he could not be afraid in front of Ye Chunqiu. He just stroked his beard, showing a few smiles of joy and anger, and then said: "I dare to ask Duke Zhenguo, that day, Duke Zhenguo dispatched troops without authorization, why did he want?"
