Hao Qiao, the female guard of the First Imperial Household, was captured. Jia Cong deceived others that the disaster in the Imperial City of Jin was caused by the second uncle of Japan. Hao Qiao immediately said: "He doesn't have that ability."
Jia Cong said seriously: "I don't know who gave him the idea. The most stupid thing the King of Jin did was to send his enemies unharmed to a place that developed faster and was richer than his own country. I sincerely thought Do you want the other party to call back?"
Hao Qiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Prince Jia helped him?"
Jia Cong shrugged: "Why should I help him? Is there anything more comfortable in the world than sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight? Now the King of Jin is stronger and the second uncle is weaker, but the King of Jin is in the light and the second uncle is in the dark. I am just standing by. Look, King Jin is going to find out about the second uncle, so I will help cover it up. It won’t be long before the two of them are evenly matched. I’ll eat watermelon and eat melon seeds, and wait until they both get hurt, so that I can reap the benefits.”
Hao Qiao said with a smile: "Is Prince Jia joking? The Japanese guy doesn't even have a single soldier, how can he fight with the prince?"
Jia Cong faked a smile and said, "Isn't there Situ Wei?" Hao Qiao's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he was speechless. Jia Cong said, "Anyway, Commander Qiao is not here, and your apprentices are far less experienced than you. In the In a kingdom where the whole family is under one roof, fighting for political power does not necessarily require laying down millions of corpses and bleeding thousands of miles; it is no problem to lay down two corpses and bleed five steps apart.”
Hao Qiao's eyes suddenly widened: "How dare you!"
"Why shouldn't I dare?" Jia Cong tilted his head and said, "Would you like to make a bet? You only need to spend one year in Java, and I can take over Jin."
Hao Qiao thought for a moment, rolled his eyes and said, "I don't care about anything else. I have a niece in Prince Jin's Mansion, you must not hurt her."
"Well, Miss Hao is just an ordinary female official. She hasn't even gotten along with beauties, so there's no way she can get into trouble." Jia Cong said with a smile, "Commander Hao, don't worry and go to Nanyang. The scenery in Nanyang is really beautiful. If you're lucky, you'll be fine." You can see the volcano." He snapped his fingers.
Two children of the Liu family took Hao Qiao to the next door. The leader smiled and said: "Commander Hao, I'm sorry." He pinched Hao Qiao's chin, picked up a bottle of water and poured it into her mouth. Hao Qiao had no choice but to do so. , she was stunned and asked him to drink several large gulps. After a while, she fell into a daze and fell unconscious.
Then he called Jiang Wan from next door. Jiang Wan was afraid of Hao Qiao's martial arts, so he didn't dare to be careless even though she was unconscious. He carefully changed Hao Qiao's clothes and put her into ordinary civilian clothes. He also removed her hair. , cut off half of it before starting to sort and clean it. Send the changed clothes to the next door for careful inspection, keep important things such as tokens, and burn the rest to ashes.
Hao Qiao has a very exquisite tapestry belt, and the person below asked if he should keep it. Jia Cong said: "This Aunt Hao doesn't have anything valuable in her body. This belt is expensive, and there is nothing to keep track of it." Spices. The only thing I'll pay her in the future is to burn them." So she didn't leave them. I took out the concealed weapon from the concealed weapon pouch and burned it. The concealed weapon and other tooth tokens and other tokens were all soaked in thick soapy water, washed and put away. Put it into the spice bag. Finally, burn that half of the hair clean.
Then Hao Qiao was put into a cloth bag, and Liu Xiaoqi personally carried it over the city wall, loaded it into a four-horse cart, and ran away under the stars and the moon.
The next morning, the sun had just emerged from the clouds, and Taiyuan City was still in the dark. A group of men and horses broke through the dawn and ran as fast as lightning, and surrounded a house in the blink of an eye. The leader, a general, jumped off his horse and kicked open the door. He was stunned for a moment. Looking in from the outside, the whole courtyard was desolate and silent, with two wild cats lying lazily under the eaves. The general strode into the door, his eyes sweeping across.
The house has only two entrances, but it also has a verandah. Spider silk is covered with sills and windows, and a copper bell hangs from the eaves. There are two elm trees and three pomegranates in the courtyard. There are bird's nests on the trees, and there are people lying under the trees.
The leaves have fallen, and most of the flowers have fallen off, with many rotten to the point where only the calyxes are left. There are two large porcelain jars in front of the main house that have long since dried. The house looks like no one has been in it for months. It's the same when you walk into the house.
There was dust everywhere, and even the pillars were covered with a thick layer of dust. There was half a shelf of books on the bookshelf, and I opened a book that had been damaged by beetles. I searched the house three times and found nothing.
Nothing suspicious.
Not long after, the local security guard arrived. It turned out that this house belonged to a businessman from Shu. The man came to Jin every autumn to sell fruits, and stayed only for one season, leaving it empty for the other three seasons. A few years ago, he hired someone to guard it. This year, spring has begun.
The old guard heard that his nephew had made a fortune in Japan, so he wrote to his employer to resign and go to Japan to find his nephew. The businessmen of Shu were too lazy to find people, so they left the house empty and prepared for autumn. Here
It has been empty for nearly five months.
In a blink of an eye, the sun was rising, and Gan Kexi also came with Yin Zhuang. After listening to the general introduction from the leading general, the two of them circled the house again and started to investigate carefully. Gan Kexi checked the ground, and Yin Zhuang flew up to the roof. After searching around,
Nothing was found. During the second search, Yin Zhuang found a piece of paper in a crack in the tiles of the back roof. He quickly wrapped it in a handkerchief and took it off carefully, inviting Gan Kexi and the general to come and take a look.
That thing was a signed poem from a temple, only half of it. On the front was written: Thirty-nine and half of the signature; on the back were two and a half lines of poems, using the words of Overlord Wujiang's suicide and Pang Juan's defeat. There was a temple on the signature.
The name was Sensoji Temple. The general frowned and said, "Which temple is Sensoji Temple? I've never heard of it." He put the piece of paper away and ordered people to inquire. Everyone continued to search.
Half a day later, Yin Zhuang found a small piece of cloth from the bird's nest in the elm tree. He said: "There is a bird's nest on each of the two elm trees. The mud in the nest is all new. There are four bird eggs in each nest.
For the finches, there is also a pair of finches in another nest but no eggs. The two pairs of finches are of the same species. I wonder if this pair of finches will also lay eggs."
Gan Kexi wondered: "What do you have to do with Commander Qiao?"
Yin Zhuang said: "This piece of cloth is on the top layer of the bird's nest. If the female bird wants to lay eggs, she must be busy building the nest. Could this piece of cloth have just been carried in?"
Gan Kexi took the end of the cloth and took a closer look. It was a piece of sea blue coarse cloth, slightly faded, as if it had been pulled down by something. The general said: "It looks like a monk's robe." Then he and Gan Kexi looked at each other, and they both looked at each other.
Thinking of the half-signed poem.
Yin Zhuang jumped up the tree again and checked each branch carefully. He found two silk threads on the branches of another elm tree. He took them out and compared them, and found that they were made of the same material as the coarse cloth. Nothing else was found.
It turned out that Hao Qiao had told her subordinates last night that she was going to see her old friend. But she didn’t know that the old friend had now surrendered to the master. If she hadn’t gone back by sunrise, something might have happened. Let her subordinates go find her quickly. Follow Jiang Wan
Along the way, she sprinkled special spices, and the dogs could follow her. Fortunately, Chen Ruijin and others had used this trick earlier, and Jia Cong was so defensive that he only let the dogs chase her here, and could not find Hao anymore.
Joe is missing.
Not long after the group returned to the Imperial City, a temple visitor asked about Yongzuo Temple. A monk said: "There is Edo Castle in Japan, now renamed Zhenhai. The ancient temple in the city is called Asakusa, which was built in the Tang Dynasty. It was originally the Guanyin Zen Temple.
, now it has been enshrined in the Buddhas of the Western Heaven.”
After hearing the report, Gan Kexi and the general looked at each other in disbelief, and went to the Prince of Jin's Mansion to resume his duties with their hearts in mind.
The King of Jin was naturally shocked. Commander Qiao is like the umbrella that covers the sky of the King of Jin's palace. If she has three advantages and two disadvantages, the whole family will not be at ease. A few days ago, the second son was assassinated, and Jia Cong specifically asked him to pay attention to the assassin. He became increasingly uneasy and ordered
Nationwide search.
When Mr. Sun, the former official of the Imperial City Division, was assassinated, they conducted a large-scale investigation for a while, but no assassin was found. After His Highness the Second Highness was assassinated, they searched again, but they couldn't even catch the assassin who knew his appearance and name. Now, if they search again, it is inevitable that the servant has some kind of trait.
The mentality of "if it can't be found out, that's it".
The matter was immediately spread to the backyard, and Princess Jin was shocked when she heard about it: Xin Zhen told her that the Japanese man was dishonest, and it turned out to be true. He actually put the idea on Commander Qiao. Gan Kexi naturally guessed that it was Jia Cong who framed the second uncle of Japan.
.Anyway, he had already made up his mind to go to North America, so he pretended not to know anything.
Two days later, something big happened in the court. Dozens of impeachment papers were put on the desk of the King of Jin. They all exposed the prince's subordinates as corrupt and perverting the law, misappropriating taxes, wooing courtiers, and secretly forming alliances with generals. All of them were substantiated. Jin
Wang Haoxuan couldn't hold back the breath. He knew that his sons' hands and feet were unclean, but he didn't expect that they were unclean to this extent! Looking down at the third and fifth sons, their faces were full of pride that could not be concealed. Especially the third son,
It was as if he was already the heir to the throne.
King Jin knew that some important person under the boss must have defected, otherwise he would not get so much evidence. He also resented that the boss was incompetent and his confidants could not control it. So he threw all the documents to the Yushitai with a cold face.
He glanced at the third child and sneered: "The lonely king is getting old, and his sons are also getting older. I'm afraid it's not just the boss, but others may not have it." The third child's smile suddenly condensed. King Jin then ordered the imperial censor to say:
, "There have been a lot of things happening in the country recently, and I have always been unruly. Since that's the case, let's investigate. The sons of the lonely king, no matter how big or small, will all be investigated from the beginning." After saying this, he rolled up his sleeves and went in without listening to a word.
After a while, a eunuch came out to deliver a message: All princes, including the crown prince, should shut themselves up and think about their mistakes. We will wait until the censor's desk has completed the investigation.
The Jin court suddenly felt like an earthquake, and everyone was in danger. Jia Cong simply wrote a letter and sent it to the Jin palace, saying that Situ Wei, a child, had been studying in Dajiala and had no power or power in the Jin country. He had no power.
What are you using to take bribes and pervert the law? The railway still needs him. Can you help someone check him first? If there is no problem, let him go and do his work.
When the King of Jin thought about it, he had never heard that the fourth child had done anything to pursue fame and fortune. These days, Han Qi and others praised him for his ability. The Jin State was severely short of money, and this railway was a huge profit. After thinking about it for a long time, seriously
He ordered the Yushitai to investigate Situ Wei first.
The Yushitai quickly completed the investigation. As Jia Cong said, Situ Wei had no power at all, so he could not seek personal gain. The King of Jin then ordered Situ Wei to be released from the palace and let him continue working on the railway.
A few days later, a letter came from the post office to Aunt Hao, a female official in the clothing bureau of the Prince of Jin's Palace. The letter was an urgent letter and was sent from Zhao. Aunt Hao was puzzled. When she opened it, she was shocked to see
On the first piece of paper in the letter, she wrote her address in charcoal and drew a pattern that resembled a leaf, followed by the words "Pay attention to Japan". Aunt Hao was shocked: this pattern was exactly what she had on her waist.
The birthmarks and charcoal characters on her body were the handwriting of her aunt Hao Qiao.
Look at the letter again. The person who wrote the letter is a clerk at a donkey meat shop in Handan, Zhao State. He said that five or six customers came to the shop a few days ago. One of them was a woman in her fifties who was disguised as a man.
The rest were monks in purple robes. The woman seemed to be held hostage by these monks. While the waiter was serving the food, he quietly asked the woman if he wanted to call the police for her. The woman thought for a moment and made a gesture to go back.
After a while, the woman got up to relieve herself, but the monk followed her outside the hut! There was also a female waiter in the donkey meat shop, so the waiter asked a colleague to pretend to urinate, and asked the woman in the hut if she wanted help.
The woman shook her head. In this shop, all the clerks had manuscript papers and charcoal pens hanging with them. The woman said loudly that nothing happened, and took off the charcoal manuscript paper of the female clerk. Before she could write, the monk outside was already urging her. The woman just said
He had time to draw the leaf pattern and write down the words, and then left in a hurry. After discussing with his companions, the clerk sent the manuscript paper to Jin State according to the address, and attached a letter explaining the situation.
Aunt Hao was stunned for a long time with the letter, and then rushed to ask for an audience with the King of Jin.
The King of Jin was convinced that Hao Qiao had fallen into the hands of a monk from Japan. He immediately regretted not killing the monk and let him go. He was also a little lucky. He really didn't see that the monk had any ulterior motives and sent him away early.
.It would be even worse if he was kept in Taiyuan. He ordered a strict investigation of people coming from Japan.
Since Aunt Hao got the news about her aunt, she had to ask for leave to go home and tell the clan. On that day, she left Jin Prince's Mansion in peace, arrived at Hao's house, and left the house in peace. When the carriage arrived at the back door of Jin Prince's Mansion, the driver shouted
He said: "Girl, we're here." No one answered for a long time. The coachman urged twice, but there was still no one. He opened the curtain and took a look - the car was empty, not even a person. The coachman was anxious: I haven't paid for the cab yet!
Then he drove back to Hao's house to ask for money. Aunt Hao also disappeared.
At this time, Liu Xiaoqi had already handed Hao Qiao over to his colleagues and returned to Taiyuan. Then he kidnapped a second woman named Hao and sent her out again. The young woman could only be considered in good health, and she did not know how to
Martial arts. He quickly entered the territory of Zhao State in a day, and Liu Xiaoqi released the unconscious hostage. Aunt Hao sat on the carriage bumping for a long time before she realized that she had been kidnapped.
Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said to her: "When you meet your aunt, you will know that the charcoal stick is real and the calligraphy letter is full of nonsense."
Aunt Hao said coldly: "You don't have to be proud, someone will come to save me immediately."
Liu Xiaoqi turned a deaf ear and said: "Little girl, although the journey is a little harder, it will be fine when you get to Java."
Aunt Hao was stunned: "Java?"
"Yes. Java." Liu Xiaoqi said, "Your aunt should have arrived in Lu country now. She will wait for you at Laizhou Port, and then you two will travel to Java together. You will come back after a year and a half.
.”
Aunt Hao was confused: "Who are you?"
"Well, let's wait until we get to Laizhou and ask your aunt." Liu Xiaoqi said, "In this world, what she misses the most is you. With you by her side, she can have more fun in Java."
Aunt Hao thought: "There is a maid missing in Mrs. Wang's backyard..."
"We took them away too," Liu Xiaoqi said, "Our geographical advantage is too great. This is something your prince and queen mother cannot imagine. Poverty limits their imagination."
