It is said that the Tan family suffered a disaster, and the fifth girl who had become a monk, Kong Jing, shamelessly went to find Dong Ming. When Dong Ming learned about this, he was shocked: "Lawless!" But it was also quite troublesome. Not to mention that he could no longer control the affairs of Fujian.
, even though he was still a prison official in Zhangzhou at the moment, there was nothing he could do against the bandits. So he went to the next door office to discuss with Yang Heng.
Yang Heng waved his hand and said: "Master Cong is the laziest person to meddle in other people's business and won't pay attention to it. Besides, I've heard for a long time that this family is not a good one."
Dong Mingchou said: "Master Tan is not a good official, but he treats me well. Besides, that sister-in-law has come to the door. If she leaves, I can't do it."
Yang Heng said: "I've heard the gossip about Miss Tan Wu. I tell you, don't mess with her. Our Prime Minister Lin is not naughty for being jealous."
Even though Dong Ming was able to resolve strange cases of injustice, he had no ability to deal with such matters, so he had to go back and say to Kongjing, "I am no more than a small official in the Taiwan government, so how can I care about the affairs of Zhangzhou?"
Seeing that he was back, Kong Jing looked forward to it with both eyes. Hearing this, he immediately knelt down and choked with tears: "You must have a way, sir. Please help me, even if I don't care about the life of a poor nun."
Dong Ming said: "It's really beyond our reach."
Kong Jing turned a deaf ear and just hugged his legs and begged.
.Dong Ming couldn't bear to see her like that, so he had no choice but to put her in the inn temporarily.
Nakong Jing was sensible, and from that day on she did not come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to disturb her. She also quietly inquired about Jarvis; because he was a general, ordinary people could not find him, so she had to give up. However, Dong Ming had always been thinking about this matter and had not yet found it.
I tried my best to cope with it, and just had to pay attention to things. I felt restless in my spare time, so I went to see her after two days.
Everyone else was too busy to care about other things. Grandma Tian, Jia Shisan, was a know-it-all about gossip when she came to Rongguo Mansion. How could she hide such things from her? She immediately sensed that something was wrong and quietly told Jia Cong.
"It looks a little weird to me," she said, "Although it's nothing on the surface, Mr. Dong treats that sister-in-law too well."
What plot has Jia Cong never seen before? You’ll understand in seconds! He grinned: “It wouldn’t matter if it were another girl, but she’s a sister-in-law!” He rubbed his forehead again, “It wouldn’t matter if it was another sister-in-law, but she is this one! Sister Lin knows.
If her anger goes wrong, everyone will suffer. Get her away quickly."
13 Yan Qing glanced at him: "Third Master, Mr. Dong is too busy? Others are busy day and night, but he has time to hang around my sister-in-law."
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "That's it. Send this sister-in-law away and find something for him to do." Then he got up and went to look for Dong Ming.
Dong Ming was checking the files to clear up old cases. When he saw him coming, he stood up and said, "Master Cong."
Jia Cong sat directly in front of him and asked, "Master Dong, are you free right now?"
"Not bad."
"Then let's talk about the sister-in-law from Zhangzhou." Jia Cong said, "If Mr. Dong doesn't send her away, there will be rumors about Chengtian Mansion tomorrow." Dong Ming just opened his mouth, and Jia Cong waved his hand and rushed to speak.
, "I know you two are fine now, but it may not be so in a few days. She hired someone to stab you, but you didn't beat her out. Who would believe you when you said you were not interested in her? This kind of thing
Things were commonplace. From seven hundred years ago to three hundred years later, they were all over the streets. But Dong Yu was still young and had a bright future. It would have been fine even if you went to the flower house to sleep with a pink head, but you had an affair with a sister-in-law! Listen!
He said that Dong Yu was watching you the day you were stabbed."
Dong Ming argued: "She is very young and was deceived."
"That's because she beat her sister to death first. She didn't take human life seriously at such a young age. Even though she was young and ignorant at that time, I couldn't tell that she had any intention of repenting." Dong Ming choked for a moment.
Jia Cong said sternly, "Even if you wear a pink hair bandage! Why did you choose to be this one? I'm afraid I've hurt Dong Yu's character."
Dong Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I have nothing to do with you, the official."
Jia Cong turned a deaf ear: "If you two are really destined to be together, it won't matter if you wait a few years. You have to wait for Dong Yu to grow up. At this stage of adolescence, when he is most likely to be rebellious, his most admired father steals his sister-in-law... How dare you risk this?
Is it dangerous? That clever guy is so smart, can you hide it from him? If you dare to say you can, I don’t care."
Dong Ming sighed: "She refuses to leave."
Jia Cong also sighed: "Well, let me come up with an idea. I heard that her family was destroyed by the Li family."
"Li's house? Li Qi's house?"
"Of course." Jia Cong said, "When Magistrate Tan was alive, he only offended ordinary people. Who has the ability to recruit regular soldiers to kill, set fire to, and ransack homes? Except for the maternal family of the King of Jin."
Dong Ming said "Oops": "I didn't expect it was King Jin! The journey is too long."
Jia Cong glanced at him and said: "Li Qizhi is the most proud son of the Li family. How could he die in vain? Neither you nor that sister-in-law can avenge this." Dong Ming naturally understood this and sighed.
Jia Cong added, "But the people in her hometown are very coaxing. They asked her to adopt an orphan. They just said that he was the youngest son raised privately by his father and the aunt of another official in Fujian. Because he was afraid that his colleagues would know about it and sent her mother and son to Taiwan.
The government is keeping it secretly. Let's get some evidence and send someone to testify for her."
Dong Ming's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said: "Where do you think you come from!"
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Look at the purpose! She doesn't want her family's wealth to be taken away by her relatives back home, and as a woman she can't inherit it, so she can only give her father a biological son."
.Her father would dare to take any woman into his house, but only women from his colleagues would not."
Dong Ming said: "Are her relatives willing to believe it?"
Jia Cong said: "Whether they believe it or not, I have the final say. Does the King of Jin alone have troops?"
Dong Ming was stunned and sighed: "In the end, we have to rely on power."
"Nonsense, otherwise what else are you relying on? Judgment? If you want to judge, according to today's secular rules, her relatives are really justified." Jia Cong shrugged, "It's just that you told that sister-in-law, so you did that to her."
"Brother. If I find out that she is just using someone else and treating their children badly, I will take care of it. If I take action, I can't say whether it will be serious or not."
Dong Ming nodded repeatedly: "Of course. It's just that she recognized a younger brother. How can he take charge of the family business when he is young?"
Jia Cong said: "Isn't she fifteen or sixteen years old? Since she's not stupid, she doesn't know how to take care of herself? Sister Lin was already in charge when she was much younger... ahem... Sister Xue was already in charge when she was her age.
With such a huge industry, she must have heard of the Xue family, a large merchant."
Dong Ming was shocked: "Xue Pan is a woman? No wonder it is said that he broke his sleeves and became an actor!"
Jia Cong was stunned for three seconds, then banged the table and laughed for a long time. Dong Ming immediately understood that he had misunderstood, and was afraid that he was talking about the girl from the Xue family. Jia Congnai walked away holding his stomach and shouted outside, "
Don’t say it was me who came up with the idea!”
Worried about this matter, Dong Ming dropped everything in his hands and sent Kong Jing away as planned. Kong Jing was overjoyed and knelt down in tears. Since the orphanage in Chengtian Mansion did not allow anyone to adopt children casually, she went to Quanzhou Yangsheng Hall to get them.
She got a two-year-old boy to serve as her younger brother, and the Chengtian Mansion helped her prepare all kinds of paperwork. In order to give Dong Ming face, they also sent a serious clerk and five or six soldiers to accompany her. All they said was this
The child was originally raised by an important family in Chengtian Mansion, but now the young master they sent for adoption recognized his ancestor.
The uncles and uncles of the Tan family were all stunned! When they refused to admit it, the soldier took off the Western pistol and gun from his shoulder and shook it. They were so frightened that they did not dare to say a word. The clerk said with a smile: "Little official"
I was ordered to apply for household registration documents for young master Tan and enter the Tan family tree." You guys, look at me, I look at you, who dares to disagree? So all the work was in vain.
From then on, Kongjing wore Ziyi and took charge of the family's property and educated her younger brothers. She was not stupid at all, and was naturally beautiful. She received the Tan family's true biography since she was a child. She acted ruthlessly and was unwilling to do anything. Soon she became Zhangzhou
The well-known "nun master" in the city. This nun was really kind to her adopted brother, but named the child Tan Mowang. She often took him to the ruins of the Tan family and taught him: King Jin and his maternal family, the Li family,
They are the enemies of our Tan family who wiped out our family! You must find them to avenge this blood feud in the future. After walking around Chengtian Mansion, Kong Jing also gained a lot of knowledge. I heard from people in the inn that their island encourages industry, and everyone who
Taxes were reduced for factories, so she had an idea in her mind. There were press trucks in Zhangzhou during the Song Dynasty. After returning to Zhangzhou, she followed the rules of some Taiwanese factories she heard about and built a sugar factory, and later built a shipbuilding factory.
Factory. This is a story for later.
Let’s talk about Han Qi. When he arrived in Taiyuan, he met the King of Jin and reported in detail what he saw in Zhangzhou and Chengtian Mansion. Halfway through, the King of Jin was shocked: “Chengtian Mansion has already used cement? This thing was not obtained by Wang Ziteng a few days ago.
?”
Han Qi shook his head and said: "That's a rumor on the street. The cement is the recipe of Mr. Lulin in Cong'er, and the Taiwan government has been using it for a long time. The recipe of the Bai family was also given by Cong'er many years ago, and the three families of Jia, Wang, and Xue were in
Priority for seaborne goods entering and leaving Hong Kong.”
The King of Jin lamented: "The Bai family is too cheap! No wonder, Jia Cong was still a child at that time. Why haven't you seen Wang Ziteng in Guangzhou for a long time?"
Han Qidao: "The original recipe was not complete, and the cement produced was not strong. Jia Lian had the craftsmen test it for a long time before getting it together. On the contrary, the one used by the Bai family was not very good at the beginning."
The King of Jin frowned and said, "How can Jia Lian be so patient! Laojiu will eventually know how to look at people. He said in the early years that this person can be of great use after hard work." Then he asked, "So, what a complete recipe.
Is it actually in the hands of the Jia and Wang family? Do you have any way to get it?"
Han Qidao said: "I'm afraid I have to spend money to buy it. When I returned to Fujian from Chengtian Mansion, I took another road. It turned out that the only rich place on their island was Chengtian Mansion. After leaving the city gate, it was deserted. And listen to the people in the post house
He said that there are typhoons all year round on the island, and the harvest is often poor, but he relies on the government’s grain distribution to survive.”
The king of Jin asked: "If that's the case, why do they use all their strength to get people from Fujian?"
Han Qidao: "There are too few people.
.If anything happens..."
The King of Jin thought for a while: "That's right. Not to mention Fujian, Qiongzhou Huo Sheng is not a good boy." He ordered him to continue.
Han Qi went on to detail what he saw in Chengtian Mansion, and finally said: "The compulsory education school was built first in Luzhou, but the Taiwanese government did it even more comprehensively than Luzhou; the buses and carriages were also among the Western German countries.
They copied all the things here; the department stores were copied from France. Anyway, Cong'er tried all the useful things his husband saw in foreign countries in Chengtian Mansion. If they are not good, forget about them; if they are good, keep them.
Try to figure out how to make people willing to use me, how to do better. Your lord," Han Qi said in a low voice, "this kid really hasn't chosen his master yet."
King Jin's heart was in his throat: "Isn't he looking at Xiaojiu?"
Han Qi chuckled and said, "He originally liked King Yan the most, but it's a pity that he didn't like King Yan's son."
The King of Jin was overjoyed: "None of Lao Jiu's sons can compare with his own arm."
Han Qi said: "Originally, Wei Chen wanted to write a note to report the itinerary, but after thinking about it, it would be better to do it in person." He approached the King of Jin and lowered his voice and said, "Cong'er accidentally missed a few words this time. Although
I don’t know if Nezha is the red boy, he is really not a mortal." Then he covered it up a little and added Jia Cong’s words about "poor Taoist" and "descendants after many years".
The King of Jin was stunned. After a long time, he said: "I have already found out clearly the cause and effect of the time when he killed Na Taopo. Then I was sure that Jia Cong was the lower realm of Nezha. Thinking carefully about what he has said and done over the years,
Although he is careless, laughs and curses, everything is directed towards the Westerners."
"That's right." Han Qi said, "I'm afraid that thousands of years from now, our dynasty's descendants will suffer a great disaster at the hands of Westerners, and Cong'er is here to resolve it."
King Jin thought for a long time and asked, "What do you think?"
Han Qi lowered his head and said: "My subordinates once probed his tone. He did not agree with the prince's prudence, but he admired the king of Wu, the king of Shu, the king of Yan, the king of Liao and others. He said yes, time waits for no man."
The King of Jin sighed: "He went down to the world to deal with the Westerners, so he naturally agreed with those who sent troops overseas."
Han Qidao: "I think what Cong'er said is reasonable. When the prince is ready, everyone else will come back after robbing. If you have time to make money, it's better to go and grab the money."
King Jin frowned and said, "At this moment, people have taken action on several small places nearby."
Han Qi smiled and said: "The empress of Russia was assassinated, and the new monarch is a rare mediocrity. The prince can pass through Mongolia north and borrow a passage from Russia to attack the West. It is nothing more than buying money for the two of them."
The King of Jin shook his head and said: "The journey is long and the food and grass are difficult to come by."
Han Qidao: "Let's go, fight, and buy." Cong'er said that the Westerners had many civil wars, and one of them was a great plunder, which was called the Crusade. It was the West of the West attacking the East of the West. That battle
It’s not for anything else, it’s just to rob money. Those who go to fight are not soldiers, most of them are ordinary people with no wealth and power.”
The King of Jin was confused: "Why can't I understand? How can we fight without soldiers?"
Han Qidao: "Cong'er said that the kings of the Western countries encouraged ordinary people to pick up the kitchen knives and shovels at home and follow the general, and go to the Eastern countries to rob whoever robbed them. The common people who had nothing to offer followed.
Although many people died of illness and disease in battle, many others emptied the treasury of other countries and returned home. Among those who were robbed back then was Russia."
"Hiss..." King Jin took a breath of cold air. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Is this the clan of jackals?"
Han Qidao: "If we don't want to be eaten by jackals, we must turn into tigers."
King Jin closed his eyes, waved his hands for a while, and said, "You go out first, and I will think about it later."
Han Qi felt a little disappointed, bowed and went out.(..)
