It is said that Jia Cong and Feng Ziying came to Taiyuan and wanted to cooperate with the Jin Kingdom to build a railway. The King of Jin returned to his residence to discuss with people until night.
The next morning, Han Qi came to Jia's horse shop. When he inquired about it, he found that Feng Ziying and Jia Meng had gone out for a walk, while Jia Cong was still sleeping. So he called Jia Cong up.
Jia Cong came out of the room with his clothes on and yawned: "Brother Han, you are so energetic."
Han Qinai whispered: "Please wake up quickly. Something happened last night."
"Huh?" Jia Cong rubbed his eyes, "By the way, where is my daughter?"
The soldier who followed said: "The princess hasn't woken up yet."
"Oh, let her continue sleeping." Jia Cong said lazily, "What happened?"
Han Qidao: "An important person died."
"Who?"
"Imperial City Company Affairs."
Jia Cong was startled: "Who?"
Han Qi said again: "To remind you of the Imperial City Company affairs, someone was killed last night."
Jia Cong has not come back to his senses yet. "Yes, you don't have royal guards, they are called the Imperial City Division. I asked, can the names of these intelligence agencies be unified? You are called the Imperial City Division, we are called the Security Department, and the Wu Kingdom is called the Privy Council.
, the Qin State calls them Internal Guards, which is actually the same thing. Everyone is too embarrassed to call them Jin Yiwei or something..." He tried his best in vain, "What?! The Imperial City Secretary of Jin State was killed? The intelligence leader
Assassinated?"
Han Qi pursed his lips and said helplessly: "You are sober."
"What's going on?"
Han Qidao: "The assassins are gunmen, and there are two of them. I followed the two guards of the official to chase the assassins, and they still haven't returned. They are still alive and dead, and there are no corpses. I'm afraid it's more likely to end."
Jia Cong frowned: "There are two assassins, but only two guards are sent to chase them? Shouldn't this kind of thing happen in a hurry? Are the guards all from the green forest? This habit is really bad."
Han Qidao: "At that time, there were few people around him, and they were all masters."
Jia Cong shook his head: "This is inertia. The Qin State has been buying muskets for nearly twenty years, and the guards are still accustomed to using people with strong martial arts skills. You see, the people around me have already used muskets. No matter how good the martial arts is, the gun will be better."
What's the use of throwing it down."
Han Qi stared at him and said, "Cong'er, you have a lot of ideas. Please help me think of how to find the assassin."
Jia Cong spread his hands: "How can I think of an idea when my eyes are dark? I really like reasoning, after all, I am not a professional provocateur or forensic doctor. Where was he assassinated?"
Han Qi's expression softened: "At the door of his own home."
Jia Cong said: "That means people have been staring at him for a while." He thought for a while, "People who work in this profession are born to offend people. Or is it because his subordinates are interested in his position?"
Just when Han Qi was about to speak, a maid ran out: "Your Majesty, my daughter is awake and wants her father."
Jia Cong stood up quickly: "Brother Han, please wait for me! I have to coax Miaomiao to get up first."
Han Qi was surprised: "My daughter, do you still want you to coax her out of bed?"
"Well, she's a bit spoiled this morning." Jia Cong said, "She can dress, wash and eat by herself, but she can't comb her hair. I just combed her hair for her. You sit down for a while, have some tea and snacks and think about that."
Son, I'm sorry~" After saying that, he dropped Han Qi and ran away.
Han Qi was stunned, and after a while he asked the soldiers in the room: "Your prince... you still want to comb your daughter's hair?"
The soldier said naturally: "Yes. Our daughter is still young and doesn't know how to comb her hair by herself."
Han Qi turned back and glanced at Mr. Ke, the guest of Qing Dynasty. Mr. Ke asked curiously: "Don't you have a servant girl to serve you?"
The soldier said: "It is only when the parents take care of their children that the relationship becomes closer." Han Qi and Mr. Ke looked at each other blankly.
After waiting for half a day, Jia Cong came back. He held his daughter in his arms and tried to apologize to Han Qi; Han Qi couldn't complain to him. Jia Cong ordered people to go to the kitchen to get rice and millet porridge. Miao Miao was still confused and lay limply in his father's arms.
There, he still had a bulging little face. When the servant brought the porridge, Jia Cong filled the porridge for his daughter while talking to Han Qi, and even stuffed a snack into his own mouth. Miao Miao woke up when she smelled the aroma of the porridge.
She shouted "Thank you, Daddy" tenderly. Someone had already moved a small table and chairs. Miaomiao sat down with a small spoon in her left hand and a small chopstick in her right hand to eat porridge. It was just some ordinary porridge and side dishes, but she ate it deliciously and even smiled.
Eyes shouting "Yummy!"
Jia Cong was guessing the origin of the assassin with Han Qi. He laughed at his daughter's little appearance and inadvertently forgot the second half of what he said. Han Qi couldn't bear it and shouted "Brother Cong". Jia Cong
He apologized hurriedly, and then said confidently: "All fathers in the world are like this." Before Han Qi could speak, he hurriedly said, "My personal suggestion is to check the right-hand man of the deceased first. Has this person ever been sorry?
Which colleague with great skills? Anyway, I am suspicious of the culprit. By the way, aren’t you in charge of money? Are you responsible for handling cases?”
Han Qi looked at him: "You really can't guess?"
"Um?"
Han Qi sighed softly and lowered his voice: "Due to my mother's birthday, many old friends from the previous capital have come to Taiyuan Mansion recently. There are many people who suspect that some of my guests are mixed with craftsmen from other countries."
Jia Cong frowned and said: "Why do other countries assassinate your Jin country's spy leader? Does it mean that if he kills him, the Jin country's intelligence agency will be disbanded? Your prince must have replaced him with a new one!" He thought, "Yes.
Is there any news that this lord has just learned and has not yet had time to tell your prince?"
Han Qi shook his head. After a long while, he sighed and said with a wry smile: "This is nothing!"
Jia Cong blinked: "No one is suspicious of me."
Han Qidao: "You don't have it yet, but Ziying..."
Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "Is their logic dead? With someone like Feng Ziying... I can't even figure out why he wants to kill a colleague from another country."
At this moment, Miao Miao finished her last mouthful of porridge and said, "Daddy, I've eaten." Jia Cong praised her for eating cleanly, coaxed her a little, and asked someone to take her out to play.
Han Qi sat for a while, but couldn't guess what he was talking about, so he left. Jia Cong sent him to the door of the courtyard and said, "Brother Han, don't think too much. This matter doesn't matter anywhere."
It's your fault." Han Qi nodded. Jia Cong stopped talking and said, "It won't affect the railway, right?"
Han Qi thought for a while: "It's hard to say."
Jia Cong immediately said: "What does it have to do with railway construction? Railway construction is entirely a matter of industry and commerce. Without a detailed leader, will the Jin Kingdom come to a standstill?" Han Qi smiled bitterly and was speechless.
Turning out of the street in front of Jia's Horse Racing Store, Han Qi asked thoughtfully: "Mr. Ke, what do you think?"
Mr. Ke said, "I can't see anything." After a while, he added, "Prince Jia's appearance is not suspicious."
Han Qidao said: "Jia Cong must be irrelevant. He has a high status and has a daughter with him. If something goes wrong in Taiyuan Mansion, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to my family. Ziying... I don't know where she was all morning. Let people inquire.
inquire about."
Just as he was talking, he happened to see Jia Meng and Feng Ziying coming towards him. Han Qi quickly stopped his horse to say hello. Feng Ziying immediately said: "Brother Han, you came just in time!" He pointed at Jia Meng and said, "This brat is causing trouble!"
Jia Meng smiled and raised her hand on the horse: "Uncle Han! I just did a good thing..."
Before she finished speaking, Feng Ziying cursed: "A good thing? It's a good thing that you dragged me to grab my bride so early in the morning?"
Han Qi was stunned: "Robbing a bride?"
Jia Meng immediately said: "It's not about robbing a bride, it's about helping someone get his fiancée back! Your son of Prince Jin is so unreasonable!"
It turned out that Jia Meng was involved in some other business. Yesterday he went to visit Jinci Temple and met a man who was sitting in the corridor in despair. Jia Meng is a just and good young man, so he went up to him and asked if he needed help. When he asked, the fiancée's appearance caused him a lot of trouble.
The son was born well, so the King of Jin took a fancy to a son and wanted to take him into the palace.
Jia Meng thought for a while and said: "The King of Jin is not a fool. I recognize your Third Chief of Staff, Mr. Han Qi, and I can ask him to help reconcile the situation."
The man shed tears and said, "It's too late. I'll pick her up in a sedan tomorrow."
Jia Meng rolled her eyes: "It's not impossible. But I have to ask the girl herself first, what if she... well, what if she would rather be the prince's concubine?"
The man immediately cried: "She failed to commit suicide two or three times, and now her sister-in-law is working hard to guard her at home."
Jia Meng nodded: "I know. But I still want to meet him."
The man then led him to his fiancée's house. When Jia Meng took a look, he saw that it was just an ordinary small family, deserted. When he entered and asked, it was just like what the young man said. The girl went to the temple to offer incense and asked the King of Jin to
The second son fell in love with him. Regardless of whether he wanted it or not, he sent someone to snatch away the few betrothal gifts. He made an appointment to pick him up early tomorrow morning.
Jia Meng thought that the sun was going to set now. Even if he went to find Han Qi, it would be inconvenient for Han Qi to go to His Highness's Mansion in the middle of the night to intercede. He secretly made an idea in his mind and told them not to panic.
Miss Bao will not be able to enter the second son's house tomorrow. This family is very grateful. The sister-in-law ran back to the house and saw that the girl had torn up another piece of clothing and made it into a loop, and had the idea of hanging from the beam. So she hurriedly told her
"The tiger head meets the noble man", which makes my sister-in-law feel at ease.
Early this morning, Jia Meng took Feng Ziying and went out with more than 20 guards. She only wanted to go shopping. In fact, she stayed near that house, waiting for the carriage and horse from the Second Highness's house to pick up the girl and leave.
, he jumped out to rob someone. Feng Ziying didn’t know what Jia Meng was doing until he finished robbing.
Han Qi was stunned for a long time and didn't know what to say. Jia Meng said with a smile: "With Uncle Feng here, my third uncle won't be able to teach me too much."
Mr. Na Ke said: "Uncle Xiaomeng, this is Taiyuan. You robbed His Highness's woman, aren't you afraid that he will come after you?"
Jia Meng innocently said: "Anyway, let my third uncle go and make amends with Jin Wang Qiansui~~ I'm still young. If a child gets into trouble, it's natural for adults to step in and solve it."
Feng Ziying gave him a quick glance: "Are you still young? How old are you counting with your hand?"
Jia Meng laughed a few times, beckoned the pair of little mandarin ducks behind him to come closer, pointed at Han Qi and said, "This is your third envoy, Mr. Han." The two of them hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
Han Qi took a look and found that the little girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was really bright and charming. Her eyes were clean and translucent, which was different from the girls from the royal palace and wealthy families. His Highness was used to seeing the gentle and lovely daughter Xiao Jie, no wonder he wanted to do this.
The woman tried something new and sighed: "That's all. Since my cute nephew has rescued you, you can just follow him for now."
Jia Meng said: "Uncle Han, his two families will not be retaliated against."
A guard from behind said: "We might as well move both families to Dajiala! There is no such thing in Dajiala."
Another smiled and said: "Da Jiala also has a small office."
Jia Meng hummed: "There is only one small yamenei in Dajiala, and the famous grass has an owner. Thank you!" Everyone laughed.
Mr. Na Ke suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, it seems that I didn't hear that Uncle Xiaomeng got married?"
Jia Meng said: "My girlfriend is still studying for graduate school. I will wait until she graduates to get married."
Mr. Ke looked at him and then at the girl, and said with a smile: "Aren't there two waiters in the room?"
Before he finished speaking, Han Qi immediately laughed and said: "Don't make random jokes, the Jia family are all the masters of the weak water." Mr. Ke cupped his hand.
Then they each mounted their horses and left.
Han Qi rushed straight to the Imperial City Department. This Yamen was hidden in a small street behind the Jin Prince's Palace. There was no signboard at the door, just like an ordinary house. Outsiders had no idea that this was an important Yamen. Han Qi also found it this morning.
I only found out after someone from the King of Jin called for it. Since the official of the Imperial City Company died, the King of Jin temporarily appointed a chamberlain named Gan to take over the post temporarily. This Eunuch Gan was not very old, only about 20 years old, fair and fair.
Pure male and female appearance. If he had not been a eunuch, he would have been a romantic young man.
Han Qishui talked about how he went to Jia's Horse Racing Company just now. He finally said: "In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Yan State. They came to contact the people of Yan to build the railway. Even Jia Cong himself came, which shows their sincerity. They also brought two people with them.
These two children are very important to the Jia family. If there is trouble in Jin, they will be in danger, right?"
Eunuch Gan thought for a long time and said, "I'd like to trouble Mr. Han to say it again." Han Qi said it again from the beginning. Eunuch Gan thought for a while and ordered someone to check on the young couple.
It didn't take long to get the reward, and the story about the young lady was true. The steward of His Highness the Second Highness had gone to Taiyuan Mansion to cause trouble, and ordered the prefect to solve the case within three hours and get the girl back. At this moment, the prefect Zou was personally leading the
The police were searching the streets, and the portraits of Jia Meng and Feng Ziying had also begun to be posted.
Han Qi hurriedly said to Mr. Ke: "Go to the magistrate's office quickly and tell Mr. Zou not to put up portraits. I know those two people." Mr. Ke agreed and left.
Eunuch Gan shook his head and said: "Jia Cong, the Za family really can't understand him. How can he teach such a wanton and reckless nephew?"
Han Qidao: "Isn't this the same for him? He even beat Concubine Xian Nan'an when he was young."
Eunuch Gan tapped his fingers on the table for a long time and suddenly asked: "Master Han, how ambitious is Jia Cong?"
Han Qidao said: "His ambition is to boost our country's national strength, occupy overseas lands, and leave a name for the ages. He will no longer be called a loner. Father-in-law, please think about what our heir apparent, prince, and princess are like, and what his daughter and nephew are like."
After a long time, Eunuch Gan seemed to have made up his mind. "Okay. As long as Jia Cong doesn't have the mentality of being a loner, he will be less suspicious."
Han Qi didn't know: "Why did father-in-law suspect him?"
Eunuch Gan waved his hand and said, "Master Han, don't worry about it."
Han Qi was the chief civil servant of the Jin State. Seeing that he was so disrespectful, he felt a little unhappy and stood up to leave. Eunuch Gan only said "no", but he really didn't send him as a gift.
