But it was said that the fifth girl of the Tan family accused the seventh girl of killing her sisters, and the seventh girl cried and complained... Mrs. Tan looked at the seventh girl and said, "Have you and the sixth girl really visited Mr. Li?"
The seventh girl lowered her head and said nothing, but her face turned red.
An unknown grandmother spit on her: "How shameless!"
Suddenly a maid said: "I saw Miss Qi in the back garden last night!"
The seventh girl quickly said: "Nonsense! I never left the house last night."
Another girl said: "Sister Qi, I went to look for you last night to make love and you weren't there."
Mrs. Tan asked: "Where did you go last night?" The seventh girl's face turned redder and redder. Daiyu saw that she was not guilty, but a little embarrassed. Mrs. Tan ordered: "The girl in her house
The mother-in-law took her down and interrogated her carefully, but I don’t believe that she has iron teeth.”
The seventh girl hurriedly said: "Madam, my daughter is indeed wronged."
Mrs. Tan stared at her and said, "I can't accept the empty talk. Do you have any evidence?"
The seventh girl hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth and said: "There is no evidence, my daughter has a witness."
"who?"
She pursed her lips again: "Daughter, please...please..." She couldn't say it again.
The fifth girl screamed fiercely: "She has no witnesses. She killed the sixth sister!"
Daiyu looked at her coldly for a long time, then said: "I look at Miss Qi as if she has something to hide. I wonder if Miss Qi can trust me?"
The seventh girl nodded repeatedly: "Of course I can trust Military Advisor Lin!"
Daiyu said to Mrs. Tan: "I am not from Zhangzhou, and I will leave in a few days. Since Miss Seven has something to say and it is inconvenient to say it in public, why not let her tell me."
Mrs. Tan hurriedly said: "Commander Lin, whom I have admired for a long time, is the current female Zhuge. I'd like to ask you for advice!"
Then they found a quiet room, where Daiyu and Miss Tan Qi were sitting. Outside the door and the windows were guarded by a circle of Taiwanese soldiers.
Miss Tan Qi knew that it would be difficult for her to remove it cleanly, so she hurriedly said: "Commander Lin, I am determined not to harm the sixth sister because of that." Daiyu glanced at her indifferently. She hesitated for a long time, and finally said shyly, "Mr. Li and I
We have already made a lifelong commitment. He originally asked me to meet him last night, but for some reason he didn't come." Lin Daiyu couldn't help but take a breath. Miss Tan Qi said proudly, "Mr. Li is mine, so why should he touch her?
"
This girl is only fifteen years old. If she hadn't known Li Qizhi's true identity, Lin Daiyu would have been ashamed of him for seducing a young girl from an official family. However, she knew that Li Qizhi could not have fallen in love with a mere concubine from a prefect's family. If Lin Daiyu hadn't pried on him
After hearing many of Jia Cong's nonsense stories, she couldn't guess the whole story. She closed her eyes and thought for a long time, then asked Miss Tan Qi: "Didn't you two know each other recently?"
Miss Tan Qi said shyly: "During the Chinese New Year, we and the family went to offer incense together, and we met him by chance on the hill behind the temple."
"Then, whose idea was it that you and Miss Six went to spy on him a few days ago?"
"Mine." Miss Tan Qi lowered her head and twisted her skirt and said, "He sent someone to tell me that he was coming to our house. I hadn't seen him for more than ten days at that time. It was strange."
"Why did you drag Miss Six with you?"
"I'm afraid people will look at me, so I can have a cover. I also invited other sisters, but she was the only one willing to go."
So stupid! It’s all gone to the bone... Daiyu sighed in her heart and had a general idea, but she couldn’t figure it out at the moment and there was no evidence. She comforted Miss Tan Qi and asked her to
Sit back and wait for some time, then get up and go out. Mrs. Tan sat in the next room and waited. Dai Yu saluted and said: "In my opinion, the sixth girl is probably not the seventh girl. I have made a rough guess and need to confirm it. I hope Madam
help."
Mrs. Tan hurriedly recited the Buddha's name and said: "It's not good! If it were her, we would not even have the name of our family. We are grateful to the military advisor to help our family sort out these messy accounts. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Daiyu said: "My daughter would like to borrow a set of clothes from your house that would be worn by an ordinary servant." She pointed to a soldier and said, "Let him put it on and go to Mr. Li's residence to ask him a question. It's not like I can't trust your house."
"Servant. It concerns the reputation and life of the lady of your house, so don't let the servants know about it. They," she said with a wave of eyes, "will leave soon."
Mrs. Tan nodded and said: "Commander Lin is thoughtful." Then she called a servant and asked him to bring him clean clothes. The soldier changed his clothes, and Daiyu quietly gave him a few words; he then saluted.
Military salute and walked away quickly.
Daiyu said again: "You think the dead Sixth Miss also has a personal maid? I also want to ask her a few words about her maid."
Mrs. Tan hurriedly ordered someone to go to the mourning hall and call the sixth girl's personal maid over. Daiyu led the maid to another quiet room and asked: "Do you, the sixth girl, have an affair with Mr. Li Qizhi?" The maid's face turned pale.
As soon as she changed, Daiyu knew that she had guessed correctly. "When did the two of them know each other?"
The maid said in a trembling voice: "During the Chinese New Year, my wife led the female family members of the whole family to offer incense..."
Daiyu sneered and said: "It saves trouble." Then she asked, "He came to your house a few days ago, and your girl was dragged by the seventh girl to spy on him. Did you girls know in advance that he was coming?"
The maid whispered: "I know, Mr. Li sent a boy to report the news. Our girl has not seen him for eight or nine days, and I miss him a little."
Daiyu nodded and said, "I have a rough idea of what's going on. You girls must not have died unjustly. I'm afraid it was already doomed."
She then came out and went to Mrs. Tan. She didn't say what she asked, and just waited for the letter. Suddenly the soldiers came back and whispered a few words in her ear. Daiyu smiled and said, "It's true." She knew the Tan family.
Only the second girl who had already left the court was a legitimate daughter, so she asked Mrs. Tan, "Which girls do you want to choose as your wife for Mr. Li?"
Mrs. Tan said: "The four girls and the five girls are sixteen this year, and the six girls and the seven girls are fifteen. I am going to choose one among these."
Daiyu asked: "What kind of temperament does the fourth girl have? How is her mother?"
Mrs. Tan said: "Her mother is from the mine in our hometown. She has an honest temper and looks more ordinary. Mr. Li is the master's important staff, so he doesn't want the fourth girl to marry him."
Daiyu asked again: "May I ask where your hometown is?"
Mrs. Tan said: "Our family is from Fujian, and our hometown is Longyan in the north."
Daiyu's mind moved: there is a huge iron ore in Longyan, but although there are many mines in Jin State, there are no iron ores. After thinking for a long time, she asked: "The fourth girl's aunt's natal family has a good fortune in the mines?"
"Her aunt's father and brother are both old miners, and now their family is in charge of everything in the mine."
Lin Daiyu nodded, then called a soldier to come over and whispered something, and the soldier followed the order and left.
Not long after, he came back and said: "Uncle Tan said that the military advisor's guess was good. He was doubtful about the other words."
Daiyu then told Mrs. Tan: "I already have a rough idea in my mind, but I just need to think about it more carefully and sort out the logic. I can't tell the cause and effect at the moment. There is one more thing that I just told Uncle Tan.
I went to investigate. I hope Madam will wait for a day or two and the truth will be revealed." Mrs. Tan repeatedly said, "I dare not." Daiyu said again, "The death of Miss Six has nothing to do with Miss Seven. Miss Seven will let others know.
Pushed out to bear sin."
Mrs. Tan was shocked: "Could it be the fourth girl?!"
Daiyu hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No. If I'm not mistaken, this matter has nothing to do with the fourth girl." Then she stood up and left.
Mrs. Tan personally escorted her to the door of the house, watched her go away, turned around and sighed to her confidant daughter-in-law who was following her: "It's a pity that my son is not lucky, Miss Lin is so rare."
Daiyu led the people back to the camp, but everyone was discussing something, so she pretended to be solemn and said: "My fifth uncle has disappeared since we got married, and SHIELD is not easy to manage. We don't care about such a big thing."
I know." Everyone hurriedly asked what was going on. She said, "We first thought that King Jin and Li Qizhi were looking for maritime merchants to buy firearms, but we were wrong. They are planning to make firearms and sell them themselves."
Jarvis was surprised: "Where did they get the blueprints?"
Daiyu said: "We have our own methods, others have their own methods. The Ministry of Industry in Beijing and Central China also has people who make firearms." She said she was thirsty. Jarvis hurried forward to pour tea for her. She took a few sips.
, smiled and said, "Li Qizhi's abacus is good, but it is still the way of the King of Jin. He is roundabout, secretive, and dare not be honest." She then told what she had just seen and heard at the Tan family.
Some people understood it, some didn't. Jarvis sighed: "Li Qizhi did this too harshly."
Daiyu sneered and said: "Hard? It's obviously incompetent. It's just as if they can give it a try with the Red Bones." Then she told what she had guessed about Li Qizhi's plot.
There are no iron mines in the Jin State, and the nearby iron mines are in the hands of other princes. Li Qizhi originally came for the Tan family's iron mines in Longyan, and he had already decided to marry the Tan family's fourth girl. Just now.
Uncle Tan said that because of her outstanding appearance, the fifth girl was actually Li Qizhi's idea to send her to Jarvis's bed. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, the fifth girl would definitely not be able to marry him. The other end was seducing the sixth and seventh girls at the same time.
The sixth girl probably got him to have a private meeting, died at the hands of her lover, and then tried to pass it on to the seventh girl. Although there was no evidence, the seventh girl could not marry him. In this way, only the fourth girl was left. He could still take the opportunity to marry him.
He said that he had burdened the two young ladies and was too embarrassed to stay in Zhangzhou, so he went back to Longyan's hometown with the fourth girl to take charge of the Tan family's affairs. Even if the Tan family's mine in Longyan was not in vain for the King of Jin to transport it away, I'm afraid it was
Sold several copies for the price of one.
Jarvis shook his head and said: "Why bother? A dignified man of seven feet is plotting against his women all day long."
Daiyu glanced at him: "Isn't it because there are many men in the world who don't trust anyone except their family members? They immediately believed after getting married. If Li Qizhi is just an aide, no matter how loyal he is, no matter how talented Tan is, Tan
Mo may not believe him. He is married to the fourth girl, and when he comes to the mine, he can cover the sky with one hand."
The next day, the second son of the Tan family visited the Jarvis camp in person, asking to see Military Advisor Lin. The soldiers led them into the Chinese army's tent. When they sat down, Lin Daiyu asked with a smile: "How?
?”
Uncle Tan smiled bitterly and said: "It's just like what the military advisor guessed. The rumor that the sixth sister was seduced because of my father's lingering ghost was indeed spread by Mr. Li. Just now I discussed the matter with him, and he really said that my father is now dead.
, Our family is no longer legitimate in Zhangzhou, so some people want to scare us into going back to our hometown to take advantage of our family being in Zhangzhou." He clicked his tongue and said, "Exactly! Can a military advisor really know how to count? I am so impressed that I am so impressed.
Already."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "No matter how good my hexagram is, if he says this, Uncle Tan will definitely not leave."
"That's right." Uncle Tan said, "I tried to force you to leave, but I became even more reluctant to leave."
Daiyu then told the two of them what happened yesterday, and they were so angry that they slapped the table several times. Finally, she said: "Yesterday, I ordered my next brother to go see him pretending to be a servant of your house.
The brother claimed to be sent by Mrs. Tan and asked him if he had made an appointment with the seventh girl the night before yesterday. He denied it flatly and said that he had never met any of the ladies in the Tan family. He was so cruel. The seventh girl would not let him cheat him.
If you die, at least half of your life will be ruined."
Uncle Tan asked: "What is he doing? Does he have any grudge against us?"
Daiyu shook her head and said: "No, it's because I want to steal something from your family. You two can understand by just thinking about the fourth girl's uncle."
The two men looked at each other and said in unison: "Iron mine!"
Lin Daiyu smiled slightly, took a cup of tea and took a sip, and said: "Nowadays, all the princes are determined to fight overseas. Weapons and armor are indispensable. And some princes have no iron ore in the areas under their jurisdiction."
Mr. Tan hurriedly asked: "Which one?"
Lin Daiyu said: "I'm not familiar with iron ore. Your Majesty only knows a few things. I'll ask experts to take stock of them one by one. I think they can make a rough guess."
Er Tan looked at each other again, stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Daiyu: "Thanks to Military Master Lin's clever plan for exposing this thief."
Daiyu hurriedly returned the gift and said: "His calculation is not bad. If I were not a woman, I might not be able to see that the seventh girl's demeanor does not look like a murderer who killed her sister, but more like a loving daughter. The seventh girl knew that she was damaged.
Because of her reputation, she may not dare to tell the truth to others - she was only willing to tell me because I was leaving in a few days. Don't let the female family know about this, and you can also preserve the reputation of the seventh girl. "You can find a new brother-in-law.
Second Master Tan suddenly asked: "After listening to what Seventh Sister said, how could Military Advisor Lin guess that Sixth Sister had fallen into his trap?"
Daiyu said: "There was a story in Beijing where a dude secretly seduced two daughters." Then she sighed again, "Besides, if Mr. Dong hadn't been assassinated suddenly, we would have returned to the island long ago."
Uncle Tan clenched his fist and said, "Second brother, people look down on us."
Mr. Tan hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Dong has suffered a disaster. Bao Buqi is here to protect our family from the disaster. The Tan family will do their best to hunt down the assassin."
Daiyu hurriedly saluted: "Thank you both."
There was a sudden silence in the room. For a moment, Mr. Tan said regretfully: "Mr. Li is really a talent."
Daiyu said: "If he is so cruel to the sixth and seventh girls, how can he be expected to be loyal to his master?"
Uncle Tan slapped the case and said, "I'm going to kill him!"
Mr. Tan hurriedly stopped him and said, "No! Find out his details first. I see that he has an extraordinary bearing. I can't tell you which prince is an important person. There are many princes that we cannot afford to offend."
Daiyu suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes, and she pretended to cough a few times. Ertan, however, was aware of his words, and hurriedly said a few polite words before leaving.
The two of them had just left the tent, and the soldiers standing aside couldn't help but said: "The man named Li killed their sister, and they don't want to take revenge?"
Daiyu said calmly: "Didn't you also forget the assassin who assassinated his father?" (..)
