The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

After all, the Tan family is powerful in Zhangzhou.A few days later, the old mullet was found in a dark kiln on the outskirts of the city, and it was sent directly to the Jarvis barracks.When he brought it into the tent, he was so frightened that he couldn't help shaking like chaff.This person didn't have much strong teeth, so he would attack with a few words of intimidation.

A few days ago, he lost money and found a place where there was no one to sit and scold God for fun.Suddenly a woman as beautiful as a fairy came to him and told him tearfully that she had been bullied and wanted to die.With just one glance at such a woman, his whole body becomes weak, how could he be willing to let her die?Immediately swore and slapped his chest, willing to avenge this fairy.The fairy told him with hatred that Dong Ming's family was Dong Ming, and later gave him a set of clothes, shoes and socks, 20 taels of silver, and a short knife, and said: "Whether the matter is completed or not, immediately leave Fujian and fly away, and never come back after leaving Fujian!" "

Jarvis looked at him for a long time and asked, "Why didn't you run farther?"

He bowed his head and said, "I only got 20 taels of silver, and I can't help spending it. I thought, after a while, I will go back to do old business, and I will see the fairy again."

Jarvis frowned and said, "20 taels of silver is enough to feed a farmer for a year." The old mullet didn't say anything, but his face was full of disdain, as if he didn't like the word "farmer".He asked him what the fairy looked like, but he couldn't make a portrait.This person can't tell his eyebrows, nose and lips, but only knows the words "good-looking" and "extremely good-looking".

Dong Ming got better these few days, so Jarvis told him about it.Dong Mingdao: "The 'fairy' would never recognize a rascal like the old mullet. Someone must have helped the fairy pick him out."

Jarvis said: "The less people know about the murder, the better. Those who help her choose the assassin must know the old mullet."

Then he took the clothes, shoes and socks that the fairy had given to the old mullet. Dong Ming took a look at them and said, "I can't get rid of those big cloth shops on Dongmen Street with this material."

Jarvis hurriedly asked someone to take the clothes and send them to Dongmen Street to ask someone.Not long after, the shopkeeper recognized that this kind of cloth belonged to their family.Just because of its high quality and low price, many people buy it.There are ordinary people, and there are also big families who buy clothes for their servants.The soldiers who went to investigate copied all the big families who bought the cloth.

Dong Ming said: "Ordinary people are not willing to give away 20 taels of silver." He asked the old mullet if he had any friends who had connections with these people.The old mullet thought about it for a long time, and counted more than twenty on his fingers, they were all rough servants.Jarvis ordered people to investigate the twenty or so people separately, anyway, he had a lot of people under his command.After half a day, more than [-] soldiers came back.At this moment, Lin Daiyu also came from the camp, and all the soldiers responded to the three of them in turn.It tells about a man named Hu San who was guarding the north corner gate of the magistrate's house. His cousin was actually a character—— Miss Tan Wu's personal maid.

Dong Ming said "Oh": "Could it be that Miss Tan Wu hated me for cheating on her?" Then he was a little embarrassed, and said a few words about the fact that he detoured to that nunnery to see the excitement that day.

Jarvis couldn't help but laugh: "I can't avoid it, but you keep chasing her to see her."

Dong Ming said awkwardly: "I'm just a small official, I haven't seen the lady of the magistrate's family, so I'm a little curious."

Lin Daiyu said: "I'm afraid it's really the fifth girl. I met many girls and grandmothers at Tan's house that day, but she was the only one who was so angry that she beat the seventh girl into a bad shape in just a short while. And that incident was leaked." If it is given to outsiders, if it gets out, she will have no choice but to become a nun."

Dong Ming said with a bitter face: "If I had known it was so secretive, I wouldn't have asked."

Jarvis laughed and said, "I've heard people say that curiosity killed the cat, but now it's an example." The soldiers on the side couldn't help laughing.Daiyu also covered her mouth and smiled.Dong Ming himself wanted to laugh a little bit, because he was afraid that his wound would collapse, so he held back and didn't dare.

So he sent someone to Qingyuan Nunnery to ask the aunts there, if Miss Tan Wu could ask them if Dong Ming was there that day.Although Dong Ming never told Miss Tan Wu who he was, he just donated some money in the nunnery.Jarvis drew a small portrait of Miss Zhang Tanwu on this side, mixed it with the other portraits of women and showed it to Old Mullet, but he said it was none of them.After a while, the soldiers who went to Qingyuan Nunnery came back and said that Miss Tan Wu had indeed inquired about Dong Ming's identity.

Lin Daiyu thought for a moment, and asked the soldiers who sent them to the nunnery to dictate the appearance of the maid, while Jarvis drew the picture.After the painting, everyone took a look, this maid is also very beautiful.Bringing it to the old mullet again, he was obviously startled, and immediately shook his head and said loudly: "No! There are no fairies! They are not as good-looking as fairies!"

Jarvis nodded slightly: "It's okay if you don't. It's just that you hurt your tolerance, and you will inevitably suffer a lawsuit."

The old mullet raised his head: "If you are in a lawsuit, you will be in a lawsuit! With a bowl-sized scar on his head, he will be a good man again in 20 years!"

Jarvis said: "Forget it, I hope you have a good life in prison and think about whether it's worth it. People can use you as a weapon after only crying for a while, so they can't be considered a hero."

The old mullet said: "Then Dong Ming is an old man, he is a good man if he bullies a little girl?"

Jarvis said: "Dong Ming is just like you, who has never met a lady from a rich family. He was curious and tricked her into talking. Although he is not guilty of this matter, he deserves to die. What's more, he met Miss, you It’s a servant girl.” Nai ignored him, turned around and left.The old mullet stared behind him.

Now that the matter was clear, Jarvis asked Dong Ming how to deal with it.Dong Ming said, "It's because I didn't think carefully, and it's just a doom." Jarvis nodded.Now that his injuries are stable, twenty soldiers, two nurses and one military doctor are left behind, ready to send troops to Quanzhou.

A soldier who had been close to Dong Ming for the past few days complained: "Mr. Dong got stabbed in vain?"

Jarvis said: "Master Dong is a man after all. One is that Miss Tan Wu is beautiful, and the other is that he has his own faults, so he can't bear to pursue it. That woman will not have a good life." The soldiers asked why, and he just Did not say.Lin Daiyu talked nonsense at Tan's house that day, saying that General Jia was afraid of the military rule of "accepting wives before the battle", but actually wanted to marry Miss Tan Wu.Now that the cause of the sixth girl's death is known, there is no such thing as "unlucky ghosts".Miss Tan Wu must be looking forward to a serious matchmaker from Chengtian Mansion coming to propose marriage.Not only her, but also several men of the Tan family must have this thought.Can such hopeless days survive?

Just after returning to the camp, Lin Daiyu, the military adviser, ordered to pack up the luggage and set up the camp. Suddenly, a soldier came outside to report: Someone from the Tan family sent a generous gift to thank him, and said that the family is in a hurry. The military adviser and General Jia kowtowed.

Daiyu wondered, "Thank us for what?"

The soldier said: "It is said that the military adviser and the general saved the lives of the men in their family."

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and Jarvis asked, "The military master saved the boy from the Tan family?"

Daiyu shook her head: "No."

I only heard someone outside "haha" twice: "I saved their family man." He walked in after speaking.

Everyone was shocked. "Fifth Lord!" "Fifth Uncle!" It was Jia Xu who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Jia Xu glanced at Lin Daiyu: "Who said Fifth Uncle didn't manage S.H.I.E.L.D."

Daiyu blushed, and muttered softly: "At first, King Jin didn't even know that he wanted to do such a big thing as firearms."

As a few of them came to greet him at the door, the boss of Jia Xu went straight to the upper chair, which was Daiyu's seat, and sat down: "All the princes want to make firearms. What's the use of it?"

Daiyu said: "They found many sea merchants who used to make western firearms, and spent a lot of time finding their iron mines. Isn't their work in vain without blueprints?"

Jia Xu waved his hand and said, "You young people, you only found out a little bit of it and you guessed everything. King Jin sent one of the most capable juniors here, just to sneak around other people's iron mines?"

Daiyu and Jarvis looked at each other, and asked, "Why is Fifth Uncle looking?"

Jia Xu coughed twice: "Thirsty." Daiyu glanced at Jarvis, who quickly poured him tea.Jia Xu took two sips of tea and said, "They also want iron ore. If it's just for iron ore, why send Li Qizhi over? Others can also make it. There is an old craftsman in the Yuheng Division of the Ministry of Industry, named He Laodun. He is timid. He escaped from the capital during the turmoil a few years ago, and now all the princes are looking for him. While looking for him, he is preventing others from finding him."

Daiyu asked, "Is he good at making firearms?"

Jia Xu said: "He has blueprints of various firearms from the Ministry of Industry in his mind." Lin Daiyu Jarvis gasped. "King Jin found out from somewhere that he is in Longyan right now." Nai took another sip of tea, "His hometown is in Jiangxi, but he ran away from home when he was young. His sister married a passing Longyan businessman." There was no one else in the businessman's family, so he took all of Yue's family over to support him. He Laodun found his brother-in-law's family with the cheek of his age. He only said that he had been hanging out for more than 30 years, and did not mention a word that he was an old craftsman from the Ministry of Industry. It is obvious that he no longer cares about fame and wealth, even if the King of Jin sends someone to invite him, he probably won't be able to invite him."

Jarvis said: "That's why Li Qizhi wants to go to Longyan to beg him, and hook him out of the mountain to work for the King of Jin."

"That's right." Jia Xu nodded and said, "The Tan family is the number one family in Longyan. If Li Qizhi came to Longyan as the son-in-law of the Tan family, he only needs to do some good deeds and punish some bullies in the mine, and he will be able to win the favor of Mr. He." Tun's favor. He went to Quanzhou to meet those sea merchants not to pave the way for selling firearms in the future, but to buy some firearms from Western countries at high prices, so that he can study them for He Laodun in the future."

"I see." Daiyu asked again, "Didn't you always go to Russia to kill their empress?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "The empress is dead, I will come back naturally." Everyone applauded and laughed.Jia Xunai glanced at them, "Passing through Fujian, I heard that you are lingering here, come and have a look. You have been lingering for many days, and you didn't even find out what they want, just guessing."

Young people are somewhat shy.Daiyu pouted, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Then why did Uncle Wu save the man from the Tan family's family again?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "Fortunately, your uncle also wants to abduct He Laodun away quietly."

It turned out that when the two men of the Tan family returned to the mansion from Jia Jun's barracks, they first called Miss Six's maid to question them, and then asked Miss Seven for half a day. itch.Uncle Tan was more straightforward, so he told her that Li Qizhi had colluded with and killed Miss Six and wanted to put the blame on her.Then Miss Tan Qi has been fascinated by love for a long time, how can she believe it?She couldn't go out by herself, so she wrote a letter and secretly sent it to Li Qizhi.

Who is Li Qizhi?Although Miss Tan Qi's letter was not written clearly, he knew that he had revealed his secrets after reading it.So he went to Uncle Tan and said that he wanted to marry Seventh Girl.The men of the Tan family were surprised, and afraid of making a mistake, they refused to act rashly.Li Qizhi sent the matchmaker to Tan's mansion to propose marriage seriously, and the seventh girl was so happy that it was like a dream.He also said that he would like to invite all his brother-in-law and brother-in-law to have a drink.

The Tan family has ruled Zhangzhou for many years without restraint, and never thought that anyone would dare to attack them, so they went carelessly.After drinking for three rounds, I felt pain in my stomach, and I called for Xiaoer but no one answered.An uncle was near the door, struggling to call for someone himself, but the door was locked.Uncle Tan and Second Master Tan all looked at Li Qizhi.

Li Qizhi smiled and said: "Like everyone, I also drank poisonous wine, and I will be poisoned and fall to the ground later." Everyone was in an uproar.

Tan Erye gritted his teeth and said, "You will never die with us."

Li Qizhi said: "It's just that none of you were rescued; I don't like to drink alcohol and eat less, so I was rescued."

"You..." A room full of men from the Tan family wanted to jump over and strangle him, but they were so painful that they were all powerless.

Li Qizhi sighed: "Poor Tan family, all males were murdered by evil spirits, only one son-in-law who was just settled and not yet married survived."

As soon as the voice fell, there was only a "bang", as if the lock outside the door fell to the ground.When someone pushed the door and entered, they were surprised: "What's going on?"

Uncle Tan shouted: "Call the doctor quickly! We are poisoned!" The man hurried out like flying.Li Qizhi's face was ashen.

Afterwards the doctor came, and the gentlemen were busy for a long time inducing vomiting and detoxification, finally remembered the person who saved them just now, and asked who he was.The man said: "The pawn is General Jarvis's personal soldier. General Jia always felt that he owed Zhangzhou's favor because he poached Mr. Dong from the Zhangzhou mansion, so he tried to repay it. Then Junjun Lin said, she saw this man surnamed Li. With bad intentions, the Tan masters seemed to despise him. I am afraid that you will lose Jingzhou carelessly. Therefore, I ordered the pawn to keep a close eye on this person. If he has any evil deeds, it is better to notice it earlier. I just saw the pawn outside and I don’t know where he is. A few people appeared, and they knocked out all the servants who were guarding outside, and locked the door, so they knew something was wrong. Those people left like the wind after locking the door, pawn So I cut off the lock and came to see what was going on inside."

All the men and aunts of the Tan family chanted in unison, but few thanked this pawn.This person is naturally Jia Xu.Seeing that someone from the Tan family had come to pick them up, he cupped his fists and bid farewell, saying that he was going back to return to his command, jumped on his horse and came all the way to the camp.

Jarvis couldn't help feeling sorry: "Li Qizhi was a good Confucian scholar in his early years, so he never thought he would become so vicious."

Daiyu snorted, "It's cheaper for those scourges of the Tan family, they won't shed tears when they don't see the coffin."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The Tan family doesn't care about Lao Tzu or sister, they all care about themselves. I'm afraid Li Qizhi will die. If he dies, King Jin is willing to let the Tan family and the Li family go. No."

Daiyu thought about it, and then said: "It's just that He Laodun, since the king of Jin's plan doesn't work, will he just let someone rob him and leave? How does uncle plan to abduct him?"

"I don't know." Jia Xu said proudly, "Your aunt is in charge of this matter. She lost the bet."
