Xia Xun opened his eyes and said fiercely: "Do you want to die?"
"In no mood!"
Xu Ming'er blinked and smiled sweetly at him: "You are him! Right?"
"Who am I?"
Xia Xun raised his fist fiercely and threatened: "Believe it or not, I can beat your head into a rotten watermelon with one punch?"
"I believe it, but you won't do anything. []"
Xu Ming'er didn't cooperate at all. She stretched out a slender finger, gently pushed Xia Xun's big iron fist aside, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't pretend, it's pointless if you keep pretending."
Already."
Xia Xun's fist was like a punctured rubber ball, hanging down limply: "Not only have I lost a lot of weight, but I also have a big beard. How did you recognize me?"
"Can you put me down first?"
"oh!"
Only then did Xia Xun realize that he was still holding her by the collar and pushing her against the wall. He hurriedly put her down. He subconsciously wanted to help her tidy up her messed up clothes. Before his hand could reach her chest, he
After being slapped hard by Xu Min'er and seeing the little girl's shy look, Xia Xun finally woke up and couldn't help but smile.
"Want to know how I recognized you? It's easy."
Xu Ming'er said slowly and calmly: "Actually, I didn't recognize you at all, you just look familiar."
When Xia Xun heard this, he was already regretting it.
Xu Ming'er added: "If I ran up to you, pointed at your nose and asked if you were Yang Xu, and you denied it and looked a little surprised, then I wouldn't doubt you.
.I just had nothing to do, so I came ashore to take a look. You were too careful. If you didn’t catch me, how could I be sure it was you?"
"so……"
Xu Ming'er said confidently: "Don't blame me, you are the one who captured me. You didn't fight when it was time to start, and my eyes were so weird. If I still can't recognize who you are, you think I'm the one who caught me."
Are you blind?"
Xia Xun sighed and said, "Yeah, I'm stupid, aren't I?"
The little girl had a good heart and comforted her softly: "That's not true. You just... never regarded me as your enemy. You believe I won't harm you, right?"
Xia Xun rubbed his nose and said helplessly: "My princess, why are you dressing up like this? Now that you are missing, the Mountain Prince's Palace may be in a hurry, why don't you go back quickly?"
Xu Ming'er said: "No! It's okay if I don't reach you. Now that I have arrived, how can I ask you to leave like this?"
Xia Xun grimaced and said, "Then what else do you want?"
Xu Ming'er said: "I don't care what bad things you want to do when you come to Jinling, I won't tell you anyway. But I'm in trouble now, you have to help me!"
Xia Xun walked around, pulled her up and said, "It's not safe here either. They're about to be searched. Let's talk as we go."
Xu Ming'er walked beside him, told the story in detail, and finally said: "My eldest brother forced me to marry, but I don't want to marry. I promise to keep it a secret for you, and you have to promise me. If my eldest brother forces me too much,
You have to get me out."
She stared at Xia Xun and said: "You are so capable, you can save my eldest brother-in-law's three precious sons. They are like nothing in a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. It is not difficult to save a little girl, right?"
Xia Xun's heart moved, and he unexpectedly thought of Shuangyu Island. If the little princess really wanted to leave, sending her there would be a very safe place, but...
Xia Xun thought of this and said: "Princess, it would be easy to save you, but the court and King Yan have come to this point. If you disappear suddenly, no matter where you go, the court will assume that you have taken refuge in Yan."
Your Majesty, has the princess ever thought about this pair of mountain palaces?"
"I thought about it!"
Xu Ming'er said seriously: "The imperial court has been wary of my Xu family for a long time. If I leave, at worst, my Xu family will no longer be able to recruit troops. What else can we do? Is it so important to hold power?"
She stood still and faced Xia Xun. Under the moonlight, her little face was very serious: "For the safety of my family, I, Xu Ming'er, am not afraid of sacrificing myself; but I will not sell myself for the black yarn on my eldest brother's head. Third brother
What he does is more dangerous than mine. He can have his choice, why can’t I, just because I am my daughter’s family?”
Xia Xun was a little surprised to see her, because she had changed into men's clothes and looked like a half-grown boy. Xia Xun didn't notice how much she had grown up, but listening to her words and looking at her expression, Xia Xun suddenly realized that that person back then
Wearing a furry white suit, the little cute girl looks like a little white rabbit. Now she has really grown up, and she already has her own ideas.
Xia Xun also became serious, promising as if to an adult: "Okay! I promise you, once the Duke of Wei forces you to get married, I will help you leave!"
Just as Xu Ming'er smiled, a group of patrolmen chased a person running past the alleyway, shouting and screaming. Xia Xun quickly made a gesture, and the two of them continued on their way.
"By the way, I have one more thing."
"you say."
"I have already told my third brother what you told me back then. However, he didn't take it seriously..."
Xu Ming'er said in embarrassment: "I know that asking like this... is a bit difficult for you, but I am really afraid that something will happen to my third brother. Can you... please help me take care of him as much as possible. If my third brother really gets into trouble, can you...
If the problem is over and you can help..." The little girl was a reasonable person and did not force Xia Xun to agree to anything.
Xia Xun's heart was moved, and he suddenly thought that his secret espionage organization had not yet opened the door to the upper levels. Could Xu Zengshou be recruited into it?
But he quickly gave up this idea, for no other reason than that Xu Zengshou was the brother-in-law of King Yan Zhu Di and the younger brother of Princess Yan. If you wanted to attack him, you wouldn't even need to instigate rebellion. The problem is, if he ever gets involved because of this,
Who can guarantee that the big family behind him will not be angry with him?
What's more, due to his relationship with King Zhu Di of Yan, he now has almost no chance to participate in military operations. The information he can obtain is limited. Moreover, the mission of the Jinyiwei is to detect major crimes that betray the monarch, although the court has long since withdrawn it.
This function of the Jinyiwei was reserved only for their Yiluansi, but Luo Kedi never gave up on this sacred mission.
If he sent someone to monitor Xu Laosan's every move, and contacted him himself, wouldn't it be..., the benefits would be too disproportionate to the effort. Thinking of this, Xia Xun gave up his original idea and just nodded lightly.
Xu Ming'er became happy, stared at him and said: "Yang Xu, thank you!"
Xia Xun smiled, and just about to be polite, Xu Ming'er seemed to suddenly think of something again, and let out a soft "Ah" and said, "By the way, I have one more thing!"
Xia Xun's face twitched like a dumpling: "Miss, are you done yet?"
Jin Yiweidu commander Si Yamen.
Luo Kedi sat cross-legged and looked at the three people in front of him quietly.
Liu Yujue said: "I have already checked my humble position. Someone stole several copies of the 'Gao Shen' issued by the Ministry of Rites to Jinshi, boarded the ship for the banquet with a false identity, and secretly distributed the notices on the plane. But..., after the officials of the Ministry of Rites found out,
I was panicked and worried that the situation would get serious, so I quickly confiscated the stickers, canceled the poetry and wine party, and sent people ashore, so that... I couldn't investigate those people one by one."
Luo Kedi's cold eyes turned to Chen Dong and Ye An again. Chen Dong took out a few stickers from his arms and said calmly: "Sir, I only got these few stickers for my humble position. Originally, I saw a person acting suspiciously.
, I wanted to detain him for questioning. But...he ran away all the way and deliberately caused a lot of trouble. The people from Yingtian Mansion and Wucheng Bingma Division arrested people randomly, but in the end...he took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
.”
Luo Kedi held out his hand with a cold face, and Chen Dong quickly handed over the stickers.
Luo Kedi took it in his hand and didn't read the content. He just twisted the paper lightly. The paper was slightly yellow and the surface was slightly rough. This is bamboo paper made of bamboo tendons and grass tendons. It is the most popular in printing workshops nowadays.
The most commonly used printing paper.
And that character was printed on a woodblock, and the shape and strokes should be the Zhao style of the Yuan Dynasty calligrapher Zhao Meng. The Zhao style was once very popular, and it was said that "in the span of 500 years, no one can compare with it in a land of 10,000 miles."
Rivaling the calligraphy of ", this was the most popular printing style in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.
"The most common paper, the most common printing font, trying to find the source is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so be careful when doing it!"
Luo Kedi stretched out a finger, rubbed it on the paper, then straightened it carefully and said: "This is Songyanmo! Yujue, go check it out!"
Liu Yujue bowed and said: "I humbly obey my orders!"
Luo Kedi glanced at him and asked, "How do you plan to proceed?"
Liu Yujue leaned forward and said: "Yes, the paper must have been imported from the paper mill, and the calligraphy used for engraving is also the Zhao style, which is the most popular among the people. It is not easy to check. However, most of the ink used in each printing shop is made by itself.
, whether the smoke ink is dark or light, there will always be some differences. I plan to start from this aspect, find similar printing houses that use ink, and then investigate one by one, there will always be a chance to catch him. "
At that time, printing mainly used oil smoke ink and pine smoke ink. Oil smoke ink was difficult to make and expensive. Most books used by the people still used pine smoke ink. The so-called pine smoke was to burn pine wood and scrape the black ash on the chimney.
Then mix the flour into a paste, mix it with secret recipes such as wine and vinegar, and bury it to ferment. This ink is as dark as lacquer and does not change color for a long time, and will become more fragrant as time goes by. It also has a moth-proof effect on printing plates and books, and can be used during printing
The paper will not shrink, and the ink will not pinch the paper. Most of the printing ink in various bookshops is made by themselves. There are often dozens of large vats buried in the backyard of the bookstore to ferment the ink. Liu Yujue is a scholar.
, he also knows this kind of thing very well.
Luo Kedi stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said: "The smoke itself is only one thing that can be checked, and the other thing is time."
Liu Yujue was slightly stunned, not understanding what he meant, so he lowered his head and said, "Please give me some advice."
Luo Kedi said: "This is at the foot of the emperor. People with families and businesses are hard to win over so quickly. Therefore, their ears and eyes can only be installed in Jinling City recently. In this case, they
It was too late to make their own ink. Songyan ink had to be buried underground for at least three years before it could be used. They had to buy it from others.
Therefore, time is the most important clue. First, list all the printing shops, study studios, and even Fangsibao stores that were newly established in Jinling City within half a year and have just changed owners, and then compare them with their publishing houses.
Proof the printed matter for traces of smoke and ink. Use time to lock in the scope of the investigation; use ink to lock in the suspicious person, eh?"
Liu Yujue said sincerely: "Yes!"
Luo Kedi waved his hand, and the three of them quickly retreated.
Luo Kedi pressed his hands on his knees and was silent for a while, then laughed softly: "Yang Xu, are you here?"
