Pavilion in the middle of the lake in the back garden.
Li Junxian led Qin Huaidao and said in a low voice: "No one will come to this person. If you fart, hurry up."
Qin Huaidao smiled, not angry, and whispered: "Uncle Li was dismissed because of the younger generation's affairs, but the real reason is not that."
"Huh?" Li Junxian looked at Qin Huaidao with a serious look on his face.
Qin Huaidao looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, he continued in a low voice: "The real reason is that Uncle Li made the Holy One suspicious."
"What did you say?" Li Junxian's face changed drastically, which made the Holy Emperor suspicious. It would be difficult for him not to die, and he could not calm down.
Qin Huaidao asked back: "In the eighth year of Zhenguan, it was widely circulated among the people that the "Secret Notes" said that after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine King Wu replaced the Li family to rule the world. Should Uncle Li know about this?"
"Of course I know, but what do you have to do with me?" Li Junxian asked.
Qin Huaidao smiled: "Uncle Li has a nickname, Wu Niangzi, right?"
"How do you know?" Li Junxian asked in surprise, suddenly thinking of something, his face froze, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Qin Huaidao continued to make additional cuts: "This junior knows it, and your Majesty naturally knows it, so he can avoid suspicion. Of course, just a nickname is not enough to explain the problem, but Uncle Li serves as General Zuowuwei, is titled Wulian County Duke, and belongs to Wu'an County, so
What a coincidence, what do you think His Majesty would think?"
Li Junxian was not stupid. He had already thought a lot. His whole body was trembling and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. All the doubts in the past were instantly understood, but he could not feel any resentment. Instead, he felt sad.
How can one accept being loyal but being mistrusted because of a rumor?
After waiting for a moment, Qin Huaidao continued: "Uncle Li, speaking of which, you should be grateful to have escaped the disaster and thank the junior. If you were not dismissed because of the junior's affairs, the junior would naturally not say this, and the uncle would naturally
Without preparedness, if one day the Holy One suddenly asks about my uncle’s nickname, Uncle Li will inevitably blurt it out. By then, I’m afraid he will be hit with axes and he will not be able to escape.”
How could Li Junxian have not thought of this? His face changed drastically, he straightened his clothes, bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you so much, nephew, for informing me, otherwise Li will die without knowing why. I will repay you for saving my life in the future!"
"Uncle Li is away from home, Wu Xun should be together."
"That's good. How about letting my son Yi Xie go around the house more in the future?"
"It's not what I asked for." Qin Huaidao said with a smile. After talking for a long time, he wanted to reach some kind of alliance with Li Junxian. How could he refuse the olive branch offered to him?
Li Junxian looked around and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I can't help but express my gratitude for the benefits. It was the Cui family who burned Meishan this time, but it was the Wang family who attacked Qinjiazhuang. Wang Tongbiao, the third son of Wang Gui, is ruthless and has extraordinary force.
In charge of the dead men in the Wang Family Mansion, this person was not present on the night of the surprise attack on the Qin Family Village."
"Why don't you retaliate to your Majesty?" Qin Huaidao asked in surprise.
Li Junxian's expression darkened: "What will happen if we report it? Even if the Holy One destroys Wang Gui's family, it is impossible to destroy the entire Wang family in Taiyuan at once, let alone the Cui family. I am not afraid of death, but I have to consider my family.
"
"Junior understands." Qin Huaidao suddenly realized that this is the shortcoming of Li Eryin's family. Li Junxian did not dare to be willful for the safety of his family. He was different and asked: "Is there any evidence?"
"The corpse of the murderer who attacked Qinjiazhuang is the evidence."
"Thank you, Uncle Li." Qin Huaidao said solemnly, having an idea in his mind.
Sure enough, if the family has an old man like Cheng Yaojin, if he has a treasure, wouldn't this benefit come as well?
After chatting for a few words, Qin Huaidao took his leave and stood up.
…
I returned to Qinjiazhuang just in time for dinner. While eating, I listened to Jia Youcai's report on the situation. The news had been released, but no one dared to deliver coal. Without coal, bricks could not be burned. However, the paddy fields were dug much deeper and the ponds
If the dam is good, it can be used in spring.
After the meal, Qin Huaidao found a carpenter, and together they made a detachable cylinder out of wooden boards, smeared a circle of clay on the outside, and dismantled the wooden boards inside to create a hollow cylinder, which could be used as a furnace core in the future.
There is enough space for three briquettes.
Qin Huaidao saw that it was similar to the one he had used when he was a child, so there was no big problem. With an order, the whole village took action and made a thousand spare ones according to the style and size. He also found a blacksmith and signaled to make iron bars, which were slightly longer than the hollow cylinder.
, it will be placed underneath in the future to allow the briquettes to be elevated.
The requirements for iron bars are simple, and the blacksmith on the village can make them. After Qin Huaidao gave a brief explanation, he concentrated on studying the tools for making briquettes. He used them at home when he was a child, and he still remembers the style, but it is not easy to make and it takes some time. Qin Huaidao recalled carefully while drawing pictures.
, constantly revise and adjust.
Not long after, the imperial edict of the reward was sent to the court. The content was word for word, and there were official uniforms and personal reports. From this moment on, Qin Huaidao was regarded as a real official from the fifth rank, and he still held a real job. He handed the imperial edict to
Jia Youcai kept it, and Jia Youcai was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
In recent years, Jia, who had money but no heirs, had already regarded Qin Huaidao as his nephew. Qin Huaidao was naturally happy when he became successful.
It is not easy for everyone in the mansion to be happy, and the official residence has been upgraded from the fifth rank, which means that the Qin mansion is more stable.
Qin Huaidao understood everyone's mood, and as everyone was happy, he went to the blacksmith shop alone to get busy. Not long after, Cheng Chumo, Luo Zhang, and Yuchi Baolin came hand in hand, and the three people's faces were full of joy.
"Hey, are you getting a wife?" Qin Huaidao dropped his tools and came forward.
"I've met you, sir!" the three of them said with a smile and clasped their fists.
"Go away - whoever you are, sir, just tell me if you want to take advantage of me."
"Hahaha, I know that the brothers of the Qin family are righteous. No matter how high-ranking the officials are, they are still brothers. We went to Lingnan Road to live life and death together." Cheng Chumo smiled excitedly.
"It's just you two, I'm an outsider?" Yuchi Baolin laughed and scolded.
Luo Zhang looked at Qin Huaidao coldly and said, "Uncle, I want revenge!"
"Shame on you - what did I teach you? You were drugged. This time I didn't kill you because I didn't want to cause more trouble. There will be no guarantee next time. Remember this lesson." Qin Huaidao reprimanded unceremoniously, talking to Cheng Chumo
Although the relationship with Yuchi Baolin is not bad, Luo Zhang is the real relative.
Although the two were similar in age, Luo Zhang did not dare to refute, his face turned red.
Yuchi Baolin consoled him: "Brother, don't worry, your revenge is my revenge."
Cheng Chumo also comforted him, then looked at Qin Huaidao and asked: "Brother, the Holy Father asked us three brothers to follow you. To be honest, we three brothers didn't understand it all the way. What are the specific regulations?"
"Don't ask too many questions. Asking is confidential." Qin Huaidao smiled and motioned for the three of them to follow him. He walked a little further and stopped at a deserted place. He whispered: "You two go back to your house immediately and I will find you."
My father discussed it and sent over familiar soldiers from the border army. They must be from farmers and have military merit. Such people can fight."
"Deploying border army soldiers?" Cheng Chumo's expression changed.
"Don't think too much. The Holy One has agreed. There are five hundred people in total. Hurry, I'm waiting to chop off some people's heads." Qin Huaidao said coldly.
"I understand." When Cheng Chumo heard that the Lord knew, he was so scared, he looked at Yuchi Baolin and said, "I'll give you three hundred, you two hundred, let's go."
"Why are you three hundred? I know a lot of people, so I can't do three hundred?"
Qin Huaidao scolded angrily: "You two are only two hundred and fifty, each of you is half. Remember, after the list is drawn up, it will be sent to the Holy Master for approval. The secret transfer back to Chang'an must be fast. Remember, there must be no children of aristocratic families in it."
The two nodded solemnly and hurried away.
Luo Zhang waited for the two of them to walk further away, and then said unwillingly: "Uncle, don't we have a mountain guard team? We can kill him all the same, so what are we afraid of?"
"It's nonsense. The mountain guard team can only protect the mountain. If you are transferred to kill people, they will be impeached. If someone with evil intentions and suspicion of rebellion is charged, can you handle it?"
"Me?" Luo Zhang was speechless for a moment.
"Remember, only when the name is correct can the words be correct. Every step must be carefully thought out and cannot be taken as the truth. Everyone is watching, waiting for us to make a mistake."
"Then just wait like this?" Luo Zhang had a dark face and was unwilling to do so.
"No - how could I just sit and wait? The imperial edict is in hand, and it's just and true. It's time to draw the sword. Come with me." Qin Huaidao's eyes turned cold and he strode forward.
