The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

However, Li Qizhi heard with his own ears that Jarvis and Lin Junshi dug the corner of Zhangzhou, and urged Dong Ming to go to Taiwan, and he was very upset.This person's talent is practical and rare, he clearly met him first, how can he let them take it away?So I found Dong Ming to get close.First, I talked about some things about Zhangzhou, and then I talked about the poor people crossing the sea to open up wasteland. I casually told Dong Ming, Jia Xie and Jia Lian that they were not dealing with it in Taiwan.Dong Ming pretended to be thoughtful and told him what to say.The two of them had their own thoughts and talked for a long time.

After investigating for a few more days, Dong Ming went to the Jarvis camp to see him.Jarvis personally welcomed him out of the tent, took him in and sat him down, and asked: "Master Dong is willing to go with us?"

Dong Ming said: "The little official has something to ask. Who has the final say in the Taiwan government, the prefect Jia Lian or his father?"

Jarvis said: "Not at all. Master Lin has the final say." Dong Ming was startled.

The brothers on the side all laughed: "Indeed, Master Lin has the final say."

Lin Daiyu sat upright in the middle and said with a smile: "Although this matter sounds a bit untrue, it is true."

Dong Ming said strangely: "But I don't know what the identity of Junshi Lin is?"

Jarvis said: "At the other end of the Taiwan government, whoever has the ability is the one who decides. Lin Hai, Minister of the Household Department, is the father of our military adviser."

"This Mr. Li guessed it." Dong Ming still couldn't figure out why a woman was allowed to make the decision, but he was vaguely curious.Nai hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that the little official heard that Mr. Jia She, the father of the prefect of Jia..."

Before the words were finished, someone couldn't help laughing, and glanced at Lin Jia and the two of them.Daiyu said as if nothing had happened: "My lord Dong, it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. What you hear is not accurate after all, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Seeing that they all looked frank, Dong Ming relaxed a little.Naidao: "Mr. Li is indeed from the side of the King of Jin. He has not been in Zhangzhou for a long time. After a little investigation, there is nothing suspicious, but he often goes to Quanzhou. According to his groom, every time he goes back to Quanzhou I have visited many sea merchants, I am afraid that they want to do sea goods business."

Everyone looked at each other, Daiyu shook her head and said: "Many years ago, when the Supreme Emperor was still in power, the King of Jin was already in the sea goods business. Besides, if it's just for business, why not go straight to Quanzhou? Hidden in Zhangzhou What are you doing so sneakily?" Daiyu asked Dong Ming if he knew who Li Qizhi had visited.

Dong Mingdao: "I asked about a few companies, and I sent it back to the military adviser."

Jarvis thought: "Could it be that he wants to do business that he doesn't want people to know?"

A brother said with a smile: "Smuggling has become aboveboard, so there is no such thing as a business that is unpopular."

Everyone guessed for a long time but couldn't figure it out.Dong Ming watched the meeting from the side, suddenly stood up and bowed, and said, "I would like to accompany you all across the sea to Taiwan."

Everyone was overjoyed and applauded loudly: "Welcome, welcome!"

Dong Ming hurriedly bowed again, and said: "Seeing that you are very comfortable discussing things, you must be used to it. Compared with Zhangzhou, you are more comfortable."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "This is the benefit of a high degree of freedom in corporate culture."

Dong Ming said in a daze: "I'm not talented, I don't really understand what the military adviser said." Everyone laughed again, and they would understand when they talked about Chengtian Mansion.Dong Mingnai put aside this section, and bowed his hands to Jarvis, "It's just that the little official really can't figure it out. Dare to ask General Jia why he killed Mr. Tan."

Jarvis smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you admit that the last general is dead? The last general really has no rouge, and there is nowhere to get it."

Dong Ming said decisively: "General Jia never said that you did not kill Tan Mo openly from the beginning to the end. With General Jia's true temperament, how could he not say such a sentence?"

The crowd applauded and laughed more and more.Jarvis said: "If Mr. Dong insists that it is the last general's actions - if a case is to be completed, the motive for committing the crime must be indispensable. Mr. Dong might as well go to the Taiwan government to guess slowly. Sitting in Zhangzhou, you will definitely not be able to guess."

Lin Daiyu smiled sweetly: "I told you, this is a hook, can Mr. Dong take it?"

Dong Ming just wanted to make a joke, looked up at the two of them with determined eyes, and then swallowed.

He never thought that he left Jia Jun's camp and went straight to Tan's house.Normally the Tan family didn't like to see him very much, but today it was the elder and second masters of the Tan family who came out to meet him.The two smiled warmly and asked him if he was okay, it didn't seem like his own father had just died.

Dong Ming made a bow and said, "You two, I already know who the assassin who assassinated Mr. Tan is, but there is no evidence."

Tan Erye hurriedly stood up: "Who?"

Dong Ming said, "It's General Jarvis."

Er Tan was immediately discouraged and looked at each other with a hint of sneer in his eyes; Second Master Tan sat down.Seeing his expression, Dong Ming knew that they were not only unwilling to believe, but also underestimated himself, and sighed inwardly.Uncle Tan coughed and said, "May I ask why General Jia killed our father?"

Dong Ming shook his head and said, "The little official can't figure it out."

Tan Erye said: "Master Dong has no evidence, and he doesn't know the reason. Isn't it a bit hasty to make such a false statement in the clear sky?"

Dong Ming had known them for many years and knew that they would not have the patience to listen to his detailed discussion, so he cupped his hands and said, "There is really no evidence and I don't know why, but I can conclude this matter, so I came here to tell the Tan family. After all, Mr. Tan is a junior." I have been a boss for many years, so I have to give him an explanation. Believe it or not..." He shook his head, gave a deep salute, and said goodbye.Er Tan's sarcasm was clearly painted on his face, so he forced two smiles and sent him out of the study.

That evening, a little beggar asked to see Jarvis before he went to the barracks, but he gave a rough account of what Dong Ming had said in the Tan Mansion.After hearing this, Jarvis didn't ask who sent him here, but ordered someone to take him down to have a full meal, and gave him two hundred copper coins, and said: "You are about ten years old, you can eat if you want to eat?" What's the future? Why don't you go to the government of Taiwan, even if you are weaker and don't know how to do farm work, you can do some small jobs. In the future, you can learn a craft and earn some money, so you can marry a wife." The little beggar repeatedly agreed.

Jarvis then turned around and went to the big tent of the Chinese Army to talk to their military adviser. Lin Daiyu said, "Dong Ming is still a prison official in Zhangzhou at this moment. There is nothing wrong with this move."

Jarvis said: "Having said that, it's better to have a talk with him." Daiyu agreed.

The next day, they sent a soldier to Dong Ming's home to post a message, inviting him to drink tea in the camp.Not long after, Dong Ming came with his hands behind his back, his expression as usual.Jarvis didn't hide anything, and just said what the little beggar said yesterday, "The military adviser said that being a monk for a day hits the clock. Mr. Dong has not left his post, and his actions are correct, which shows that Mr. Dong has excellent professionalism. It's just that the person who sent the little beggar to meet the last general probably has no good intentions."

Dong Ming smiled wryly and said: "The little official knows." Jarvis asked with his eyes, and he said, "Last night, a beggar Hua Zite came to tell the little official that General Jia already knew what the little official said in the Tan residence."

Jarvis thought for a moment and said, "Li Qizhi."

Dong Ming asked, "How can you see it?"

"He is a member of King Jin, and it would be best if Mr. Dong and the general do not get along." Jarvis said with a smile, "It seems that he has already guessed that the general intends to pry Mr. Dong, so he hastily started to provoke him. It is better than the previous years Getting smarter."

Dong Ming also guessed who the sender was for a long time last night, and was suspicious of Li Qizhi.Seeing that Jarvis had no grudges, he took out a list from his sleeve, which was the maritime merchant that Li Qizhi had visited.Jarvis thanked him repeatedly, and took the list with him to find Daiyu.

Dong Ming asked curiously: "As a woman, the military master is not taboo at all?"

Jarvis said: "If you are taboo, you can't do anything."

Lin Daiyu took the list and read it from the beginning, and said with a smile, "Li Qizhi is looking for a new route."

"Ok?"

She pointed to the list and said, "All of them were smuggled Western firearms in the early years. There is a list at Xiaoxi, I have seen it."

Jarvis smiled and said, "A military strategist has a photographic memory, and the general admires it."

Lin Daiyu said: "Prince Jin probably wants to bypass Hongguji to find new sources of Western firearms."

Jarvis smiled and said, "The firearms business has been great in the past two years. If there is some money to be made, why don't the nearby maritime merchants do it?"

Dong Ming hurriedly asked: "I heard that Hongguji is the only one selling western firearms, but why?"

Jarvis said: "Because the sea merchants nearby are buying from the West at a higher price than what Hongguji sells." Most of what Hongguji sells now is local self-produced OEM products.Looking at the list again, he said, "Li Qizhi must have thought of this matter himself. King Jin has such a temperament that he would not think of something that would stand out." He then asked Daiyu, "Military Master, how should we deal with this matter. "

Daiyu said: "If you don't deal with it, let him play. Anyway, he can't play well."

But at this moment, a soldier came to report, and a woman came outside, claiming to be the fifth girl of the Tan family, begging to see Jarvis.Jarvis frowned and said, "Why are you looking for me?" Lin Daiyu just lowered her head and sipped her tea.

The soldier said: "I said I have something to ask the general."

Jarvis said: "We've never met each other before, we don't see each other."

Lin Daiyu said flatly: "Just say the general is busy."

Jarvis hurriedly said: "No." Then he said to the soldier, "Don't cover up with words, and you will see irrelevant people in the end." The soldier took the order and left.Jarvis smiled wryly at Dong Ming, "A few days ago, Mr. Tan proposed to marry the general, and the general did not want to get involved with their family."

Dong Ming said: "I heard that this woman looks very beautiful."

Jarvis said: "Beautiful women will be seen more in the end." Dong Ming glanced at Junshi Lin.

After a while, the soldiers came back and said: "That Miss Tan Wu and her maid stood at the gate of our camp and cried together."

Jarvis said: "Knock her out and send someone to the back door of their house."

Dong Ming hurriedly said: "This woman is young and ignorant of worldly affairs. Someone forced her to keep her home. If a soldier sends her back, even the back door will inevitably ruin her reputation."

Lin Daiyu said: "Your Majesty Dong is right. If that's the case, let's find a nunnery and send it. When she wakes up, it can be said that she went to the nunnery to offer incense." The soldiers agreed again and went down.

Dong Ming wanted to know how these soldiers would deal with the woman, so he told him to go and see.When I arrived in front of the camp, I saw that there were indeed two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls who were crying like pear blossoms and rain.The soldier who took the order didn't say a word, he raised his palm and knocked him out immediately.Dong Ming couldn't help but praised: "It's so neat!" The soldier even clasped his fists in thanks.Nai called someone to pull a carriage from behind, threw the two women on it, and took a piece of paper from his bosom to look at.Dong Ming leaned over and took a look: the map of Zhangzhou.

The soldiers pointed to a nunnery on the map and asked Dong Ming: "Master Dong, you are from a local family. How is this nunnery? How many people are there?"

Dong Ming said: "There are so many people." While talking, he looked at the map carefully, surprised: it's so detailed!

The soldier said sadly, "It's the closest place, and I'm still on duty."

Dong Ming pointed to another nunnery a little farther away and said: "It's very secluded here, and it's not too far away. Although the host is a bit greedy for money, he is a good person; there are very few aunts in the nunnery, so if you are there, no one will know if you have been arguing for a long time. "

The soldiers took a look, compared the road with their fingers, and then looked up at the sun: "That's all, let's go here." Nai took the map, jumped into the carriage and drove away.

Seeing that he was getting far away, Dong Ming became curious and turned his head to bid farewell to the large tent of the Chinese army. He hurried on his horse and took another path around the front of the soldier to the nunnery.An aunt came out and led him to light incense candles to worship the Bodhisattva; he gave some incense money, and the aunt tried to recite the Buddha.Dong Ming only said to walk around at will, so that his aunt would not have to worry about him.

It just so happened that he reached the back door with his hands folded, when he heard a "bang" sound as if the door lock had been cut off, he hurriedly dodged aside.The back door squeaked open, and the soldier just now carried the two women in one by one, looked around for a while, and threw them under the two old tea trees.Nai took off the water bag from his waist and poured some water on their faces.Not long after, the two women woke up, they were startled when they saw the guards, and looked around again.

The soldier said: "This place is called Qingyuan Nunnery. I heard that the host master is a bit greedy for money, and he is a good person. If you are really the female relatives of Mr. Tan's family, when you go back, you just say to pray for him. If not, it's fine, anyway. No one will pursue it." After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to come back to their senses, they turned and left.Before the two women could get up from the ground, they were stunned to see him disappear.

Dong Ming couldn't help laughing, and walked out with a cough.The two women were immediately startled and fell to the ground again.Then he pretended to be surprised, and pretended to cover his face with his sleeve, and said: "Master never reminded me that there is a woman here, so I'm taking the liberty, let's go."

The two women hurriedly got up and chased him and asked, "Dare to ask, sir, where is this?"

Dong Ming then hid behind the tea tree and chatted with the two of them. After a while, he realized that the young lady was really the fifth girl of Tan Mo's family, and she secretly hired a carriage behind her back; Wes also knew about the marriage.Thinking of Jarvis's appearance just now, I almost broke my stomach from laughing.It took a long time to get over his smile, and he said: "Now it is obvious that Luohua has feelings and flowing water has no intentions, why bother to drag that general?"

Miss Tan Wu smiled wryly and said, "Why don't I know that this person has no intentions? It's just that the sisters in the family know about it now. This is the reason. In the future, any marriage with a good idea will not fall on my head."

Dong Ming sighed: "The girl shouldn't have gone that day."

Miss Tan Wu said coldly: "Father's order is hard to break."

When Dong Ming thought about Tan Mo's temper, his daughter really couldn't resist him.After thinking for a moment, he said: "If a girl is willing to spend the rich life at home and find a nunnery to practice for a while, she can be considered a pure name."

Miss Tan Wu was stunned: "If you don't live in wealth and honor, what do you want to do with your name?"

Dong Ming knew that this woman wasn't smart, so he cupped his hands and said, "I'm just a mediocre person, I can't think of any other ideas. I was just rude, so I'm leaving."

Miss Tan Wu was in a hurry and came forward to pull his sleeve.How dare Dong Ming provoke this matter seriously?He was so frightened that the soles of his feet were blown by the wind and ran away.
