"Then do you still know? When we were guessing the lantern riddles yesterday, none of those people could figure it out. The shopkeeper specially asked for the riddles with a lot of money. Who knew that our Lord Qin solved it for him directly and explained how to solve it later?
process."
"Our prestigious Lord Qin has many abilities."
The girls shopping in Chang'an Street were also talking about Qin Wenyuan.
"Yesterday Lord Qin and his wife really made me envious." A girl said.
"What happened?" Another girl asked in confusion.
"We guessed the lantern riddles last night. Not to mention how difficult it was to guess. The shopkeeper of that lantern riddle was also thoughtful. Those two lantern riddles just happened to be in love with each other forever. From now on, I will only love you."
"Master Qin guessed the lantern riddles, but some people were not convinced. Master Qin immediately explained it, but the most surprising thing was that Master Qin held the lantern with the horse racing lantern."
"He came to his wife and said that the two of them were in love with each other and would last forever. Lord Qin had a heart for his wife and he would love her only from now on."
After the girl finished speaking, a look of yearning appeared on her face.
Another girl was also surprised and said with envy on her face: "Oh my God, a person of Lord Qin's status actually... actually has no intention of taking a concubine for his wife?"
"Whoa, whoa, what kind of fairy couple are they? It's all my mother's fault for not letting me come out too late. Otherwise, I would have been able to see such a scene. What a pity!"
In this way, Qin Wenyuan's poems and the title of him and his wife, Changle, the immortal couple, spread in Chang'an City.
…………
Changle felt the people around him stand up and looked at Qin Wenyuan with half-open eyes.
Qin Wenyuan saw Chang Le's eyes almost unable to open, smiled, and said: "Madam, you played too late yesterday. If you are sleepy, then sleep a little longer."
After hearing what Qin Wenyuan said, Changle nodded, closed his eyes, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Wenyuan looked at his wife's sleepy look and smiled helplessly. To be honest, he also wanted to sleep in!
But there are some things that must be handled by Qin himself.
After Qin Wenyan put on her clothes, she softly called Xiaolin.
After washing up, he walked to the door of the room, looked at Xiaolin and said: "Xiaolin, my stupid wife is going to trouble you. She doesn't know when she will wake up, but I still want to trouble you to keep the breakfast warm after she wakes up."
, I will naturally go to eat.”
"Hehe, don't worry, young master, I have everything under my control, miss." Xiaolin said with a smile.
Qin Wenyuan nodded, feeling relieved about Xiaolin, and then turned around and left.
…………
At this time, outside the Qin Mansion, a vendor was about to close his stall and leave.
The vendor next to him stopped him: "Ah Biao, what's going on today? Why did you close the stall so quickly? What are you doing back?"
The vendor quickly waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's nothing serious. I'm just not feeling well today. I plan to go back and rest soon."
The hawker took a look at the vendor and found that he did not look well.
He worriedly said: "Then if you feel uncomfortable, you must remember to see a doctor? Making money is a trivial matter, your health is the most important."
"I understand." The merchant nodded, unable to comment.
Then he pushed the cart and left.
On the way, I kept looking back to express my gratitude to those who reminded me.
As soon as he left the crowded shopping street and rarely saw other people, his harmoniously hunched body straightened up.
A trace of disdain flashed in the merchant's eyes, he raised his eyes and glanced at the Qin Mansion, and sneered: "This Qin Wenyuan, fortunately he traveled to Gao'an County for more than half a month, otherwise, he would have gone to spy on the Qin Mansion's intelligence while he was there.
My life is really at risk."
"But... the sea is vaster than the fish can leap, and from now on..."
He took a picture of the belongings in the bag and the layout and architectural drawings of the Qin Mansion, with a proud look on his face: "Never seen again!"
"It's time to go back and report to Master Kaiyang, and then go back to Bingzhou and take this money to travel around."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
But as soon as he turned his head and before he took a step, several pairs of feet suddenly appeared in his sight.
This made him stunned for a moment.
He subconsciously raised his head, and when he found out who was standing in front of him, his eyes suddenly widened and his face turned pale.
The originally complacent expression turned tense and frightened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Qin...Master Qin!!"
The vendor immediately stuttered.
Qin Wenyuan looked at the vendor with a smile, and said with a smile: "I, Mr. Qin, feel that it is inappropriate to say goodbye without seeing each other again, so... let's go to a nearby place where we can rest and have a good chat?"
When the merchant heard this, his whole body trembled with fear.
He shook his head hurriedly and said: "Master Qin, I, I still have things to do, so please forgive me for not being able to accompany Master Qin."
Qin Wenyuan laughed and said, "You are very smart."
"During the time I left Chang'an City, you did not take the liberty to enter my Qin Mansion. Instead, you spent ten days carefully observing the daily comings and goings of my Qin Mansion, as well as the lights-out time."
"On the Qi Qiao Festival last night, I personally announced a holiday to all the servants of the Qin Mansion outside the Qin Mansion. You, the cautious one, dared to make up your mind to take action."
"You are really smart. After getting the money and the Qin Mansion's layout last night, you went out again today just to observe whether the Qin Mansion was aware of the theft last night."
"And today you think that my Qin Mansion is not aware of it, because my Qin Mansion's wealth is too much, and it is natural to lose a little money without knowing it, so after making sure that no one was discovered, you left without delay.
No nostalgia at all."
"You are very smart, really smart. You must have stayed under one of the Big Dippers for a long time, so you have developed such a cautious ability."
As he finished speaking, the vendor's face became paler.
The cold sweat on his forehead dripped down.
No matter how much we hear about Qin Wenyuan's horror, it is better to face Qin Wenyuan and experience it personally, which will make people even more desperate and frightened.
Qin Wenyuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Thankfully, I have done some research on the minds of you thieves. I am quite good at criminal psychology and escape psychology, so... I just wanted to see if I could catch him.
Big fish.”
"Unexpectedly, as soon as I got here, you fell into a trap."
After listening to Qin Wenyuan's words, the vendor's hands and feet were cold, and the expression on his face was extremely ugly.
He said: "Master Qin, I... I don't understand what Master Qin means. Is Master Qin... arresting the wrong person?"
"Wrong arrest? No, it's impossible. After all, you have been exposed to my sight from the beginning. The reason why I went to Gao'an County was also due to you. You don't know this, right?" Qin Wenyuan laughed.
road.
"What??"
When the vendor heard Qin Wenyuan's words, he immediately realized that he was like a clown. Only he thought he was hiding it properly, and his whole face suddenly became ferocious and twisted.
"You...you...devil, you are a devil!"
"I'll kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
The vendor suddenly rushed towards Qin Wenyuan.
But before he could get close to Qin Wenyuan, he was beaten to death by a dog.
Xu Gou spat and cursed: "You dare to show your teeth and claws at the young master in front of me. If my young master hadn't kept you useful, I would have sent you to hell now!"
After kicking the merchant again, Xu Gou waved his hand and said: "Take him down!"
Two servants of the Qin Mansion rushed over and left with the half-dead merchant.
Qin Wenyuan ordered: "Xugou, let your men entertain him well. Now he may be the only breakthrough we can find in the Big Dipper. Find a way to make him speak."
Xu Gou nodded hurriedly.
"in addition……"
Qin Wenyuan said: "The Qin Mansion also needs to increase its guard strength. Tianji's failure was too sudden. I believe that for the Big Dipper who was behind the scenes, it was also very sudden and unprepared."
"But now we have caught one of Big Dipper's men. In order to solve the problem, Big Dipper will probably kill him, so... strengthen the guard force, and no matter what, we cannot let this most critical person die."
"I understand, Master!"
Xu Gou nodded, and without any further delay, he turned around and went to arrange it.
Looking at Xu Gou's leaving figure, Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.
At the bottom of his sleeve, a chess piece fell from the cuff and fell into Qin Wenyuan's hand.
This is a white piece.
Qin Wenyuan fixed it between his index finger and middle finger, making a falling shape.
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "Aren't you going to play chess? Then let's start from the edge of the game. This vendor is my first move, Qin. What will you do with this chess piece?"
I’m really looking forward to it!
Qin Wenyuan went to Yuanyuan Tea Shop.
At this time, the tea shop in Changyuan was very busy, with many customers coming in and out constantly.
Qin Wenyuan returned to the office and asked someone to call the ugly cow over.
Not long after, the ugly cow came over.
"Master, I heard someone said, are you looking for me?" Chou Niu bowed to Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly and said, "Have all the new people you were responsible for recruiting moved to our side now?"
Recently, Qin Wenyuan noticed that someone was inquiring into the structure of the Qin government, so he asked Chou Niu to recruit troops.
Now there are about ten days.
Chou Niu nodded quickly, "The last few people moved here last night, and now everyone is sorting out information at the place you assigned them, Master."
Qin Wenyuan nodded, "They are new here, and you are their immediate boss, so pay more attention to them. If they have any needs, they can ask you directly."
"Anywhere money is used, you don't need to ask, just use it."
"Anything other than money, you can solve it if you can. If you can't solve it, come to me. I have always valued these people who have just become my Qin Mansion's guards. As long as the request is not too excessive, I can agree to it.
"
When a new employee comes to the company, the boss’s first tactic is to win people’s hearts!
I value you very much, do it with me, that’s right!
Whatever you want, I will never treat you badly!
Fooling the novices in the workplace has always worked.
Chou Niu had never experienced the tricks of modern company bosses. When he heard Qin Wenyuan's words, he was extremely moved.
He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, young master, I will tell them. I believe that after they hear it, they will be extremely grateful and moved to you, young master."
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said no more. After all, he had just met the new guards, so a little show of kindness would be enough. If he did too much, his dignity would be affected, or they would think he had ulterior motives.
Everything must be done in a controlled manner, just right and most appropriate.
He said: "By the way, I asked you to come. Apart from this, there is another thing I want you to do with the new guards."
As soon as Chou Niu heard that something was going on, his eyes lit up.
He had just taken over dozens of newcomers to guard him, and he had nothing to do. He was just waiting to show off and express himself.
When he heard Qin Wenyuan's words, his eyes lit up: "Master, please speak."
Qin Wenyuan made a move: "Come over here."
Chou Niu quickly approached Qin Wenyuan, and then heard Qin Wenyuan whisper something in his ear.
His face changed slightly and he said: "This... young master, why do you do this?"
He looked puzzled.
Qin Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "Of course the mountain people have their own clever plans. Go ahead and be well prepared, otherwise I won't be able to save you if you are caught."
Chou Niu's eyes flickered for a moment, and then a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
If you don’t understand it, then don’t think about it!
Anyway, I almost never kept up with my young master’s ideas!
In short, I believe that my young master will never be wrong!
He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "I understand. Don't worry, young master. Although the guards I summoned are all newcomers, they are all from training families and their martial arts are not bad. They will definitely be able to complete the young master's mission."
Qin Wenyuan was still aware of Chou Niu's high efficiency. He nodded: "Go and get busy."
"yes!"
The ugly cow left quickly.
Qin Wenyuan laughed, stood up, walked to the chessboard on the table, and dropped the white piece in his hand on the empty chessboard.
The chess game, at this moment, finally begins!
And this is not the end yet.
Recalling what he asked Chou Niu and others to do, he raised the corner of his mouth a little, picked up another chess piece, and placed it again on the chessboard.
The two white stones directly complement each other.
The corners of Qin Wenyuan's mouth raised slightly: "What will you do next? Could it be that the mysterious New Seven Stars can't keep up with Qin's rhythm?"
He chuckled, returned to his seat, thought for a while, picked up the brush, and wrote some words on the paper.
Taoist? Guiguzi?
These days, the Twelve Shadow Thorns are very strong, and they launched a counter-investigation based on that vendor and got a lot of information.
Among them, Taoist and Guiguzi are the information about Beichen, the most mysterious star of the Big Dipper.
This piece of information is Qin Wenyuan's only clue to the man behind the scenes, Beichen.
Could it be that the most mysterious Beichen is really the long-lost descendant of Guiguzi?
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Kaiyang released the false news and deliberately conveyed it to him through that vendor, so it cannot be fully believed.
