In the quiet backyard, a silver magpie tree was swaying in the wind, scattering mottled spots.
Under the tree, Qin Huaidao was dressed in white training clothes, with a tiger-headed spear in his hand, fierce as a dragon coming out of its cave, roaring into the sky, soft as a giant python coiling around, spinning freely, and as fast as rolling thunder, piercing a white streak.
The air waves are as slow as a needle threading a thread, and the real signs can be seen in the subtleties. The steps under your feet are as shaped as flowing water and as graceful as a butterfly.
Three days ago, Qin Huaidao was ordered to lead a team to attack a drug lord's base in the Golden Triangle. When he completed the mission and evacuated, he was chased by a third party. After breaking off alone, he was concentrated by missiles. He came to the glorious Tang Dynasty and possessed the legitimate son of Qin Qiong, Duke of Yi, and became a huge...
The young master of the Duke's Mansion.
After absorbing the memory, Qin Huaidao discovered that the original owner was only fourteen years old, but he was 1.7 meters tall, strong and powerful, as masculine and handsome as himself in the previous life. He was also a military attache of the Imperial Army, armed with a thousand cattle, and was in the sixth grade. After he was sent to duty, he met his friend Cheng Chumo.
, Yuchi Baolin got very drunk and was plotted against on his way home, taking advantage of himself.
Not long after Qin Qiong's death, someone plotted against his legitimate son, which made Qin Huaidao extremely vigilant.
Qin Huaidao is not afraid of any enemy in close combat with cold weapons, but horse fighting and foot fighting are not what he is good at. In the past three days, he has devoted himself to practicing the marksmanship and mace skills passed down by the original owner during the day to become familiar with this body. At night, he stayed up to read Qin Qiong's collection of military books, while secretly
Observe and deal with the people in the mansion carefully. Based on the memory of the original owner, there are no flaws.
I don’t know if it’s the benefit of time travel, but my strength is increasing every day, far exceeding that of the original owner.
The tiger-headed spear is like a dragon, whipping up strong winds and buzzing and exploding.
"drink!"
With a clear shout, the tiger-headed spear pierced the thick wooden stake held by the two men, and the wooden stake exploded in half.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
Almost at the same time, a pleasant voice came.
Immediately afterwards, a young girl ran up happily, with bright eyes and white teeth. She wore a green lotus-patterned Confucian skirt that showed her graceful figure to the fullest. Her greenness revealed a bit of elegance and agility, just like a budding lotus in the afternoon.
, a pair of eyes are even more dazzling, dazzling, as if they are talking.
Seeing the exploded wooden pile, the girl shouted in surprise: "Ah, the young master is so powerful!"
Qin Huaidao was also fascinated by the exploding wooden pile. On the first day, only a small part of the gun tip went in, and on the second day, most of it went in. Now it actually went in completely and shook the wooden pile open. This force - so powerful!
"Young Master, the housekeeper wants to see you!" the girl added sweetly.
Qin Huaidao stood up with his gun put away, exhaling for a long time, and his tense muscles relaxed. Looking at the girl, he felt inexplicably excited. He'er, the personal maid, sold herself to the family at the age of six to take care of the original owner's daily life. According to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, she was also the future wife.
The maid is only in the age of hairpins, but she is already as beautiful as an elf. If she were older, she would be a disaster for the country and the people.
"Let's go!"
Qin Huaidao put the tiger-headed gun next to him, picked up a cloth and wiped his sweat casually, threw it on the wooden stand, and walked towards the front yard, saying at the same time: "He'er, let someone prepare hot water."
"Here!" He'er agreed and followed.
When I came to the front yard, I saw a middle-aged man waiting anxiously. He was dressed simply, with an empty arm, but his eyes were particularly strong. It was Jia Youcai, the housekeeper, the commander of Qin Qiong's personal camp. He was loyal, brave and good at fighting. He had an arm substitute.
Qin Qiong can't block the knife.
Being both soldiers, Qin Huaidao had a good impression of the loyal and brave butler. He quickly walked up to him and asked, "Uncle Jia, do you have anything to do with me?"
Jia Youcai's face darkened and he stopped talking.
Qin Huaidao was proficient in micro-expression observation and knew that the matter was serious, so he asked bluntly: "Uncle Jia, has the murderer been found? To put it bluntly, although I am young, I am not afraid of trouble."
Jia Youcai then said: "There is news from the government office that the murderer was found outside the city and has been killed. No identity can be traced. It is said that the refugees deliberately injured the young master after seeing the wealth. After leaving the city, the spoils were unevenly divided between each other.
There will be a fight, and the winner will take the money and run away, and it will be listed as an unsolved case."
"Do you believe this statement?" Qin Huaidao asked with a cold look.
"I don't believe it."
"Who do you suspect?"
"Wang family!"
Qin Huaidao's eyes suddenly narrowed into a dangerous needle-like shape. According to the memory of the original owner, there were five surnames and seven looks in the Tang Dynasty, namely the Longxi Li family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Boling Cui family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Fanyang Lu family, and the Xingyang Zheng family.
The Wang family of Taiyuan has an extremely noble status. They monopolize the land, economy, culture, public opinion and officialdom of the Tang Dynasty. They act overbearingly and perversely, and Li Er doesn't give him any face.
An emperor for a hundred years, a family for a thousand years.
The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes have been around for thousands of years since the Qin Dynasty. They are aloof and are natural rivals to the founders of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that because of Qin Qiong's death, he has become a soft persimmon, and the powerful family has killed Li Er, the monkey?
Looking at the chicken? Qin Huaidao asked in a low voice: "Uncle Jia, why do you doubt the Wang family?"
"The Chang'an County Magistrate's surname is Wang. He is from a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He is suspected of harboring the murderer. However, there is no evidence. It is just speculation and cannot be accurate. In addition, the old man has seen the corpses and all of them have calluses on their mouths and knuckles.
There is a thick layer of cocoon, caused by long-term martial arts training. There are only two kinds of people, one is the sergeant and the other is the dead soldier. The sergeant is registered in the register. It is impossible not to find it. He must be the dead soldier. The Wang family has no shortage of dead soldiers."
Qin Huaidao nodded knowingly, pondered for a moment and then explained: "Uncle Jia, there is no need to make any announcement about this matter. We will investigate it secretly. When the people behind the scenes see that the assassination failed, they will definitely take action again. If they let the news out, they will say that the serious injury has not healed and they will not see any guests."
By the way, is there any news from the Holy Spirit?"
Jia Youcai shook his head.
Qin Huaidao understood, and said coldly: "My father passed away not long ago, so I can go and have some tea alone."
"I heard that the Holy One has not returned from his inspection tour, and I don't know whether it is true or not. However, the Wang family in Taiyuan is so powerful that the Holy One must be a little wary. Instead, he sent an imperial doctor. The old man followed the young master's instructions and declined on the grounds of rest. The other party said a few perfunctory words.
I went back to resume my life, but..." Jia Youcai stopped talking.
"But what?"
"Young Master, the Duke of Guo followed His Majesty and conquered the world, and his hands were stained with the blood of many people, especially Prince Yin, the old Sui Party and the powerful families. These people still have grievances in their hearts and dare not directly target the Lord and Duke of Guo.
As soon as he left, the young master was naturally the first choice. He would have to act with caution in the future. Also, there was not much money left in the house, so he might not be able to conduct a secret investigation. The servants, servants and nurses in the house gathered in the outer courtyard to prepare to say goodbye, so as to reduce the number of people in the house.
expense."
Qin Huaidao understood it as soon as he heard it. Qin Qiong was Li Er's red-flowered double stick, one of the most capable young men. He destroyed the old Sui Dynasty and made great achievements in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. However, in the eyes of the losers, the hidden prince party and the old Sui party,
A proper accomplice, once he loses power, who will be punished if not himself?
After pondering for a moment, Qin Huaidao asked: "How much silver do you still have in the house?"
"It's about one thousand taels. My monthly expenses are more than two hundred taels, which can cover half a year's expenses."
Qin Huaidao didn't expect that the huge Duke's mansion was almost empty, so he asked: "There is no income in the mansion?"
"The family relies entirely on the Duke's salary and silver reward, which is barely enough. Now that the Duke is gone, it's unclear how long the salary can be maintained. However, there are two thousand acres of fiefdom and 500 households, all of whom followed the country back then.
My brother, the Duke is kind-hearted and only charges 20% of the rent to support the household expenses. There is a severe drought this year, and production has been reduced by about 30%, so he is unable to pay the rent..." After saying this, Jia Youcai's face darkened, showing helplessness.
.
No salary, no rent, means no income. The best way is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. But Qin Huaidao is a soldier and feels the same way. How can he ignore the soldiers who have shed blood? What's more, he is an old brother who lives and dies with Qin Qiong. He immediately said
: "How can the Qin government be unjust and do something heart-breaking? Let's go and have a look."
"But?"
Jia Youcai wanted to say something. When he saw that Qin Huaidao had left, his heart warmed and he hurried to follow. If possible, Jia Youcai did not want his old brother to leave, but when he thought of the embarrassment in his family, his heart tightened.
