It is said that Liu Mingyi, a naughty child, was abducted by a kidnapper, which alarmed the Jia Liu family and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division and caused a quarrel in the middle of the night. They rescued her and four friends. As soon as the policemen handed the child back to her parents, a kid was beaten immediately.
Beating. A man slapped his son hard on the buttocks: "You just listen to what people say! I tell you day and night that the streets are full of kidnappers! They all fall on deaf ears!" He beat him while crying. The boy was already frightened.
Just now I saw my parents being beaten before they could act coquettishly. I felt hurt and wronged, and started crying "Wow~~". As soon as he cried, the other three also cried. The child's mother hurriedly stopped her: "What are you doing?
You! You hit your child when he was scared!" He hugged his son again and comforted him. All the neighbors clapped their hands and laughed, making a scene.
Only Liu Mingyi did not cry. She was still on the horse and asked Liu Si with her little face raised: "Shuanzi's father beat him and he cried in return. Why are Wang Erbao and the others crying?" Liu Si stopped her asking.
I couldn't answer it for half a day.
When Pan Xigui arrived near his house, he became much more generous. He held up his chest and clasped his fists and said, "Dear benefactors, thank you for your hard work. Come sit down under the house and have a glass of water before leaving." Upon hearing this, the families who had given birth to children immediately knelt down and screamed.
Thank you benefactor and the policeman in unison.
Chen Ruijin said: "We are just doing business, but the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division has made Mr. Zhao Cheng work hard. He worked on the case all night without even eating dinner. Later, everyone will send Mr. Zhao a Wanmin umbrella, so that the prince will know."
This matter had alarmed the local security guards, who hurriedly emerged from the crowd and said, "This girl is right! Mr. Zhao is really the great master of Qingtian! Let's ask Taigong Hu to take charge of this matter tomorrow." Everyone agreed, and the crowd dispersed.
As expected, Liu Mingyi died as soon as she entered the house. She refused to lie down and complained that she was hungry. Pan Xigui hurriedly went to the kitchen and dug out two rice dumplings. Liu Mingyi ate them like a little squirrel. After eating in the blink of an eye, she was still hungry.
None of the adults had eaten dinner yet. Seeing how sweet she ate, she felt hungry. Chen Ruijin asked, "Do you have some food at home?"
Pan Xigui said repeatedly: "Yes, yes! The child and her mother just bought the noodles the day before yesterday. I will give them to all my benefactors." He rushed to the kitchen. After a while, he cooked the noodles and brought them to Chen Ruijin.
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "The children eat first."
Pan Xigui said: "You guys are my little girl's saviors and guests, so there is no reason for her to eat first."
Chen Ruijin thought about it, so he took the noodle bowl and thanked him. Pan Xigui brought another bowl to Liu Si, looking at the adobe bricks on the ground; Liu Si took it silently. Then he served it to the two detectives and their daughter, Pan Xigui
I ate it last.
After a while, people from the Rongguo Mansion took Mrs. Qi back. Mrs. Qi held her daughter and cried loudly. Liu Si sat silently beside her. Pan Xigui stepped forward and comforted her with tears in her eyes: "Isn't the child back?"
After crying for another long time, Qi finally remembered that she had not thanked all her benefactors. She turned around and saw Liu Si, who immediately stood still.
Chen Ruijin said: "This is the fourth master of the Yin family, thanks to his help today."
Liu Si smiled bitterly and said, "I'm ashamed, I just caused some chaos."
Qi opened her mouth, and finally said a blessing in silence; Liu Si nodded, and opened his mouth without saying a word. Qi thanked Chen Ruijin and the two detectives again, looked up and glanced at Pan Xigui quickly, and then turned to look.
My daughter, Liu Mingyi, had been frightened and had eaten enough. Her parents and uncles were all there. She felt tired and yawned. Qi had something to do, and was busy washing and changing clothes with her.
Coax her to sleep. The two detectives said goodbye and returned to the Yamen; Liu Si naturally would not go back to Liu's house to recuperate from his injuries. Chen Ruijin knew that although his wounds were numerous, they were not serious, so he had no time to pack him up and take him back to Rongguo Mansion, so he threw him away at the alley.
Eagle Bookstore.
This night was extraordinary. How could the Liu family investigate the case? They only went to places such as gambling houses and Hualou Taverns to look for local gangsters to interrogate, and interrogated them to find out the whereabouts of all kinds of kidnappers. They were quick on their feet and had learned interrogation skills, hammering here and there.
A lot of people were caught blindly; even though they didn't catch the kidnappers, they caught a lot of criminals. Some people even smashed up a few gambling houses because they knew that their niece had been bullied by gamblers a few days ago.
The people in the Wucheng Military and Horse Division also knew that the Rongguo Mansion was rich, and Mr. Cong was generous and worked tirelessly to interrogate the local security guards, informants, and gangster leaders. They worked until dawn and took away more than a dozen gangs of kidnappers.
Because he had to wait for the Liu family, Jia Cong stayed in the small courtyard of Guaizi until dawn and told Zhao Cheng: This is your sole responsibility and has nothing to do with our Rongguo Mansion. It is not because our family has lost a child that Mr. Zhao is busy doing this.
One night. Mr. Zhao cared deeply about the suffering of the people, and worked tirelessly to set up a dragnet to find children for ordinary people. He was indeed a model for the imperial court. Zhao Cheng was so happy that he made several bows to him. He then ordered people to return to the Rongguo Mansion for all the arresters.
Shopping coupons from several shops, he said with a smile: "Wan Sheng has never given any money to you big brothers." Everyone laughed: "We have not received any money from the Rongguo Mansion! We are just doing things for the imperial court, so what are the hard work and ideas?"
Back at Rongguo Mansion, Chen Ruijin and Shi Li had already had a good night's sleep. Then they ordered Jia Huan to come over and meet. Liu Xiaoqi asked Liu Mingyi how it was on the other side. Chen Ruijin said a few words and sighed: "Ms. Qi, I'm afraid...
She prefers Fourth Brother Liu, but Fourth Brother Liu is lukewarm to her and only cares about her daughter. Mingyi wholeheartedly believes that Pan Xigui is her father. Pan Xigui loves Qi and also likes Mingyi. The family may not be in chaos in the future.
What."
Jia Cong thought: "If the two of them want to compete for Mingyi, Pan Xigui will have the upper hand now - Liu Si can't do anything. However, as time goes by, he will eventually fall into the disadvantage. Liu Si likes his daughter, consciously or unconsciously.
Go and learn how to be a father, and sooner or later Liu Mingyi will like him as much as she likes Pan Xigui; and Pan Xigui is an eunuch after all, and there is a Qi family over there."
Jia Huan said: "Liu Si doesn't like the Qi family?"
"It's not that I don't like it, it's not that I like it." Jia Cong glanced at Liu Xiaoqi, "Who knows how the Liu family educates their children? For Mingyi's sake, he would probably be willing to marry the Qi family.
Mrs. Qi is not a fierce woman. Liu Si is her man, so why would she be so demanding? You think everyone is Lin Daiyu."
Liu Xiaoqi was eating steamed buns when he heard this and immediately asked with great interest: "Is Lin Daiyu the daughter of Lord Lin Hai who refused to marry the second prince and fled the capital? My ex-boyfriend Ali said that Jarvis was beaten in Fujian
She was the strategist who won several battles."
"That's right!" Jia Huan said, "I stay in the capital all year round, and I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time. After I accompanied Jian'an back to her parents' house, we went to Taiwan for a walk."
"It's true that we can meet the third sister, but we may not meet sister Lin and brother Yao'er." Jia Cong said, "They should go to sea now."
Jia Huan frowned and said, "Do they need to go there in person to conquer a few small islands?"
Jia Cong twitched the corners of his lips: "Otherwise, where would they find a fight? They would have been out of trouble long ago."
"That's right." Jia Huan thought for a while, "It would be better if they took action. They would defeat them earlier, seize the Western cocoa plantations earlier, and make cocoa tea earlier. Jian'an just had his first meal a few days ago.
I’m in love with it, but I have nowhere to buy it.”
Chen Ruijin hurriedly said: "This is her first time?"
Jia Huan said: "I ate at Sister-in-law Bao'er's place. Sister-in-law Bao'er was also generous. Seeing that she liked it, she gave her everything she had."
Chen Ruijin asked curiously: "I sent many gifts to you before you got married. Doesn't she know?"
Jia Huan was stunned: "Huh?"
Jia Cong said: "We didn't bring anything with us on this trip back to Beijing. We only brought cocoa tea, which was sent by Zhou Xiaolan's envoy."
Jia Huan immediately stood up and left: "She really doesn't know, I'll ask."
Seeing him walking as fast as running, Jia Cong couldn't help laughing and asked Chen Ruijin: "Do you still remember the joke I told back then? Women all over the world love chocolate." Chen Ruijin nodded with a smile.
Liu Xiaoqi asked: "What is chocolate?"
"Eating food made from cocoa. It is said that women like it, but I don't know how to make it yet." Jia Cong rubbed his temples, "I'm so sleepy... I'll develop it for you to try in the future." Liu Xiaoqi's eyes lit up.
Bright.
For a while, they finished eating, fearing that they would accumulate food, so they walked in the yard for a while before going to bed. Jia Cong saw Wang Fu tending to the bonsai in the yard again, and thought of Pan Xigui's arrival, so he knelt down next to him and took a look. Wang Fu put down his scissors.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Jia Cong then told the story about Pan Xigui and Qi. After hearing this, Wang Fu picked up the scissors and said, "He won't give up until the end." Then he started to repair the bonsai.
Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "That's all, what do I need to do?" He yawned and turned around to go back to the house to sleep.
Wang Fu said from behind: "Even if the little girl recognizes her biological father in the future, she will never forget this eunuch Pan. The eunuch can have a daughter, which is a blessing he has cultivated in eight lifetimes."
Jia Cong said casually: "The requirements are too low."
Wang Fu froze for a long time after hearing this. When Jia Cong had gone back to the house, he said dejectedly: "What else does a useless person want?"
After taking a nap that day, Shi Li and Wang Fu set up a table in the courtyard to play poker. The two of them had nothing to do, they just wanted to run fast. However, Shi Li had bad luck in several games in a row, and Wang Fu had already
He quietly gave him ideas, but he still kept losing. Seeing that he lost another game, Shi Li stood up in frustration: "No, I have to wash my hands and change my luck." Wang Fu laughed.
Shi Li pursed his lips and stretched out his arms. Suddenly he caught sight of something from the corner of his eye. He turned around and took a look - there was a child sitting on the wall of Lixiang Yuan at some point. He was about ten years old.
The cold eyes with white lips and red lips looked like a girl, looking blankly into the courtyard. Shi Li waved hurriedly: "Hello, little brother~~"
The child's big eyes flashed, and after a while he said quietly: "Hello..."
Shi Li asked, "Whose child are you from?" The child did not answer. He asked again, "Did you climb up the wall by yourself?" The child nodded. "Do you want my brother to help you get down?" The child shook his head and said softly.
He jumped lightly and landed firmly in the yard. Shi Li could tell: Not only did this kid have kung fu, but his kung fu was also not bad. So he stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Are you here to play?"
The child whispered: "I'm coming to see my seventh uncle."
Shi Lideng immediately understood that this was a member of the Liu family. He narrowed his eyes and smiled like a wolf grandma: "Are you looking for Liu Xiaoqi? He is still sleeping in. How about you wake him up?"
The child tilted his head and thought for a while: "Did Uncle Qi also do something last night? It would be better to let him sleep a little longer."
"It's okay, I couldn't sleep at night after sleeping for a long time, so it's just the right time to shout." Shi Li stepped forward to hold his hand, but the child was careful to avoid it. Shi Li secretly cursed the Liu family's children for all their thieves and their short lives.
I went inside and called Mr. Liu Qi to come out.
The child had a sullen face and clasped his fists: "Thank you sir." Shi Li and Wang Fu wanted to laugh when they saw his seriousness.
Suddenly Liu Xiaoqi came out yawning in her cloth shoes and muttering: "What are you doing? I'm sleepy. I'm injured, so I should rest more. I didn't get a wink all night last night."
Shi Li glanced at him: "Isn't it because of your Liu family's business that you don't sleep a wink?"
The child looked at Liu Xiaoqi with wide eyes, as if he didn't dare to recognize him. But Liu Xiaoqi saw him first: "Aren't you the waiter of the eldest brother's family? What's your name? Liuzhuang, right?"
The child nodded: "Uncle Qi..." He looked at him again, "Why don't you look like Uncle Qi?"
Liu Xiaoqi touched his face: "What's different about it?"
The child said: "They look alike. Only their looks are alike."
Shi Li said slowly from the side: "You are so lazy, my nephew won't recognize you anymore."
Liu Xiaoqi yawned again: "I'm sleepy." He raised his chin towards the child and said, "Liu Hu's son, Liu Mingqiu's younger brother."
"Huh?" Shi Li looked at him again, "These two are both pioneers."
Liu Xiaoqi then asked: "Why did you come here?"
The child hesitated for a long time and couldn't understand clearly, but Shi Li led him to explain. It turned out that last night, the Liu family helped search for Liu Mingyi everywhere. He was curious, so today he quietly found out the address and sneaked to Qi's house.
After peeking in a few times, he was shocked to see how dilapidated their home was. He had never seen such a bad house since he was born. He suddenly thought of a person.
He had a twin sister, and they were raised by his mother until he was three years old when he was sent to the Liu family. The sister was sent to the female guard camp and was never seen again. The child was secretly worried about her and did not dare to let anyone know.
A few days ago, people outside said that his father had become a traitor. He was also living a bit sad and missed his sister more and more. He had just seen the Liu family and was worried that his sister was suffering outside, so he came to find Liu Xiaoqi to inquire.
After hearing this, Liu Xiaoqi and Shi Li looked at each other in confusion - neither of them knew that Chen Ruijin had found several girls from the Liu family, and they didn't know where to start. After being worried about each other for a long time, Shi Li said: "The palace has dismissed several maids.
Now that I'm back, where can I go to find it? Why don't you go to Yihongyuan first and ask?"
Liu Xiaoqi glared at him and said, "Our children will not go to that kind of place!"
"You're thinking wrong!" Shi Li argued, "I'm talking about shopkeeper Xunluo's question."
Wang Fu heard it from the sidelines and wanted to remind him but didn't know if Jia Cong had other plans. He said, "Why don't you ask Mr. Cong and Miss Chen first?"
Liu Xiaoqi clapped her hands and said: "Miss Chen has gone out to do something! How long will it be before we get up now without carrying Jia Cong?" Then he rushed in to call for someone. His nephew looked at him with big black eyes and a wicked smile on his face.
He ran away, staring at him with his neck raised in astonishment.
Wang Fu brought a plate of snacks to the child. Shi Li handed him a piece of fresh sweet-scented osmanthus cake and asked, "Isn't your seventh uncle always like this at home? What is it like?"
When the child saw his uncle, he lowered his guard a lot, took the snack and said, "Just like other uncles."
"What are the other uncles like?"
"Don't wear clothes and shoes randomly, and your waist and back should be straight and not crooked." The child took a bite of the snack, it was so sweet! He couldn't help but smile and frown. After taking two bites, he said, "He doesn't smile."
Wang Fu and Shi Li looked at each other, Wang Fu touched his head and said: "From now on, you can just laugh, no one will dare to stop you." The child trembled slightly, as if trying to avoid Wang Fu's hand; he looked down.
Looking at the snacks in my hand, I endured it.
In the room, Jia Cong was confused and asked Liu Xiaoqi to make a fuss, and only cursed "inhumane". When he heard that he was looking for a sister for the Liu family's children, he woke up immediately and said happily: "So soon?!"
Liu Xiaoqi asked: "What's so fast?"
"Chain reaction." Jia Cong turned around and put on his shoes, "We call it chain reaction, your grandfather would call it the broken window effect." Nai winked, "In an unoccupied house, when a naughty kid breaks a window
Window after window, soon all windows will be broken.”
"Will it?"
"Yes." Jia Cong stood up and changed his clothes, "It's a pleasure to break the rules. The same goes for family rules."
