In the next few days, except that the world around me became a little noisier, other things remained normal.
When he returned to the Su Mansion, there were more people greeting him and they were more enthusiastic. There were more invitations from family members, and there were more things to refuse. Several students in the academy who had left his class also began to want to return home.
Relatives came to tell me about the incident, and so on. It was expected and human nature, and it was not a strange change.
However, after "Dingfeng Bo" spread, and some people vividly talked about the war between the Su and Wu families, more and more people came to visit Yushan Academy.
The situation was almost the same when "Head" first came out, but now the people visiting it are much more complicated.
For example, businessmen such as Puyang Yi from the Puyang family came to see him once and invited him to a party at a certain painting boat. There was Miss Qilan as his companion. Although Ning Yi still had a good impression of the Puyang family, these gatherings were naturally still conducted as usual.
The custom was declined.
In any case, Qilan is not very powerful to him. He occasionally goes to the ia building to listen to Yunzhu playing the piano and singing. Yunzhu's accomplishments in this area cannot be matched by Qilan, not to mention that he is already familiar with it here.
According to Ning Yi’s taste, sometimes you can sing a few quite different songs according to the modern singing method taught by Ning Yi.
And even though Qilan's identity is the head of the uā leader, there is also Yuan Jin'er on this side, whose identity is one of the four chiefs, but he doesn't even want to dance to see her, and bickers noisily all day long.
, also drowned out Uā Kui's feeling of being superior, but at least there was a true feeling.
A few days later, I had a meeting with Mr. Qin and Mr. Kang. The two old men joked about his nickname of "calculate every ten steps", but when talking about the entire series of layouts, they all said that he was doing it with ease and with the demeanor of a general.
After that, Kang Xian smiled and said: "It's just a matter of 'ten steps and one step', the bandit name of 'Blood Hand Massacre' is a bit strange. I have been asking people for several days, but I have never heard of anyone breaking into it before."
Having lived such a famous life..."
There is a lot of power hidden behind Kang Xian. Since he is interested in Ning Yi's recent activities, it is not surprising that he would know about Shibupo. He told Mr. Qin about Ning Yi's involvement that night.
Mr. Qin frowned: "This kind of thing needs to be eradicated. I really offended these gangsters and ran away a few for fear of future troubles. Is there any result at this time?"
Kang Xian smiled and said: "After learning about this, I already informed the government and issued a sea arrest notice to these strong men. Several nearby states and counties also rushed to issue it. I heard this morning that one person has been intercepted. This person has been arrested."
He was seriously injured and was killed when he was arrested."
Mr. Qin nodded: "Since we attack with all our strength, these people won't be able to hide for a few days."
The two of them are considered masters in Confucianism. In the past, when they played chess and chatted, they talked about the principles of being kind to others. But this time Mr. Kang started talking, and Qin Siyuan continued, not even a single sentence was about fighting and killing people.
Not dissatisfied or dissatisfied, but from the beginning, this was considered as an immediate matter that needed to be dealt with.
Kang Xian has been using his influence to intervene in things these days. Ning Yi doesn't know this yet. But when he heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
In the past, when everyone played chess for leisure, they probably understood what kind of style the other party had. At this time, it was just a matter of seeing it more clearly. The two old men in front of them usually acted morally, but when it came to doing practical things, neither of them
unambiguous.
In fact, when everyone talked about this matter, they only focused on Ning Yi's appearance at that time and how he pulled back all the more than 20 people who were about to break out of the siege. As for the merchants' actions and gang fights, how many people died
Mr. Qin and Mr. Kang don't seem to care much about people like this. After all, Su Boyong was assassinated first, and it is appropriate to take revenge here. If they really care, it is probably because Kang Xian feels that Ning Yi should do something big.
There is no need for people to risk their lives for this kind of thing. If something unexpected happens, the lives of a few thieves will not be able to compensate for the loss of this country and the world.
"The telescope you invented has been sent to Tokyo. We are also stepping up research and production here. At present, we have several finished products that are put into military formations and are of great use." Elder Kang and Elder Qin were playing chess and shook their heads.
The group of thieves in Shibupo were forgotten, and they talked about the things that really mattered.
"It's just that you are so low-key, it's hard to ask you for credit, which makes people angry... I have a group of technicians and craftsmen in my family. If you are interested, I would like to allocate them all to you. If you want to do something, just let them do it.
Recently I heard from Ia Pei and Jun Wu that you are involved in things related to fire. To be honest, it is not that there is no research on such things in the military. I know you have ideas, but after all, it is very dangerous, such as the sudden musket.
, even if you are really made of iron, you may still be injured by the explosion. It's not like we have never tried it in the military. Why don't you talk about your ideas and let others do it."
Nowadays, the Wu Dynasty army is also studying fire as a weapon. There are all kinds of messy designs, but they are always inseparable from flashy evaluations. Kang Xian has a special regard for Ning Yi and does not want him to be injured because of research on this. Think about it.
Ning Yi's value is already astonishing with the addition of the disaster relief ia booklet and the telescope, not to mention the operational ability shown in many ia places in these days. It's just that he wants to recruit talents for the country, Ning Yi
Yi tends to have his own set of ideas. Neither he nor Qin Siyuan have a clear understanding of these ideas yet, so they have to let him go for the time being.
Ning Yi's enthusiasm for muskets only stops here for the time being. It is mainly due to technical limitations and it is not yet time to really develop this. No matter how he develops guns, it will not be as good as the crossbow for the time being. What should he order next?
Without thinking about it, he could only shake his head and politely reject Kang Xian's kindness. If he really agreed, it would be a layer of restraint.
"But how long will it take for the war to begin?"
When Ning Yi asked about this matter, Kang Xian also smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, they are still talking about it. Duke Jingguo has been in charge of this matter for several years. Although I don't ask too many questions on weekdays, looking at the current situation, I don't know.
It's almost time, but it's winter now, and the weather in Liaodong must be even worse. If we can reach an agreement, maybe there will be results after the opening... What does Qin Gong think? "
Mr. Qin thought about it and nodded: "Although Tong Guan is... well, even though he is an eunuch, he is still good at doing things, but now I am a little scared..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Mr. Qin held up the chess pieces for a long time before falling down, and sighed: "I'm afraid of rushing."
Kang Xian has not yet entered the officialdom, but Mr. Qin used to be considered a high-ranking and powerful person. Today, Tong Guan, the Duke of Jingguo, was also under him at the beginning, so he may have to control him. But Mr. Qin usually doesn't do much about these things.
At this time, he only said a few words to change the topic, but Ning Yi could probably tell that the old man probably didn't want to say more because he was concerned about it.
Playing chess with Mr. Kang and Mr. Qin, they talked about not much political matters after all. Most of the time, they were still about some academic issues and some trivial things that happened in Jiangning City, and they joked a little about them.
Time passed like this at the end of October, and the relationship between Ning Yi and Su Tan'er became even more harmonious. After the weather got cold, everyone gathered in the living room at night to chat, play chess, and tell stories. It was warm and cozy. Su Tan'er was like this.
It's been a busy few days, but the things that concern me the most have basically been done.
If we look at the entire Su family, it has actually been quite busy recently. In the past, the Su family calculated its performance and dividends every year, usually at the end of November or the beginning of December. But this year, important managers from all over the country have moved ahead of schedule.
A month has passed, and the work that should be done at the end of the year has already been done one after another. As a group of relatives and friends gathered, the Su family was bustling every day. During the day, there were teahouses and restaurants, and at night, there was a brothel.
Museum, and due to this turn of events at the end of October, the Su family's brand name suddenly became louder and louder in Jiangning's business community.
Because of these relationships, Su Tan'er actually doesn't have much leisure time. After the clan meeting, her cousin Sudan Hong often comes over to accompany her. Ning Yi doesn't spend much time alone with her, but the relationship between husband and wife is established anyway.
After settling down, Su Tan'er had her own opinion, so she didn't need to worry too much. But when she returned home on the afternoon of November 5th, Ning Yi saw Su Tan'er doing something strange.
Although the temperature has dropped, the weather this afternoon was good. Ning Yi went home early, and the courtyard seemed peaceful. Ning Yi thought no one was there, but after taking a look, he found Su Tan'er sitting in the pavilion.
While there, facing the ia building where I lived, I was thinking about something.
Theoretically speaking, there should be nothing important after the clan meeting. It is not worth her frowning and distressing like this. Ning Yi glanced at it a few times, a little suspicious, but Su Tan'er seemed to be engrossed in thought, and the expression on her face changed, so she did not notice him. After a moment,
, saw her purse her lips, seemed to have made a decision, stood up, took a deep look at the ia building here, turned around and walked towards the ia kitchen next to it.
The expression of making a decision looked a bit childish. It was the expression of a nineteen-year-old girl, but she didn't know what the difficult decision was to make at this time. Ning Yi shrugged and went back to the room first before closing the door.
Soon, Su Tan'er was seen coming out of the ia kitchen in a hurry. Probably thinking of something, she walked quickly to the edge of the yard and looked both ways several times. After making sure that no one was there, she returned to the ia kitchen and hugged her.
A bundle of dry firewood came out.
Su Tan'er usually pays more attention to the rules and image. If she might help someone when moving goods in the warehouse, she definitely has the image of a lady at home. She basically doesn't know how to make a fire or carry firewood.
But the atmosphere at this time was indeed quite mysterious. Ning Yi secretly looked out of the room. Su Taner was carrying the firewood and looking at the ia building on his side, and then walked towards the back of the building.
Ning Yi closed the door and followed quietly. He saw Su Tan'er piled the flammable firewood branches picked out by the window at the back of the room where she lived. When placing them, she seemed to have weighed them for a while.
.
Ning Yi was a little dumbfounded. This woman had thought about the decision for a long time. Was she planning to murder her husband? Or was it so cruel to burn her to death?
Soon after, he discovered that the development of things was somewhat different from what he thought...
