The Duke of Liuguo is the old state of the Duke, and most of the titles in the Xia Kingdom are reduced to the title system, but there are always some heroes who will be extremely close to the emperor who are awarded hereditary titles, especially when the emperor is mediocre. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Liuguo Mansion is a hereditary, but it has been passed down for three or four generations, and its influence and strength are not as good as before.

The people on the horse dismounted and went straight to the innermost study of the Guogong Mansion.

"Master, all the people sent to inquire have gone and never returned. And now all the major families know that yesterday Dongcheng Ferry was secretly caught by the royal family for the crime of rebellion and imprisoned in the Qi Palace. “

The contemporary Liuguo Gong has a square face, thick eyebrows and round eyes, he is really not a romantic character, and he is also extremely low-key on weekdays.

"The Qi Wangfu is now a tiger's den in Longtan, there must be a traitor in the spies, who told you to send someone to spy now?"

"You are now the head of my dart game, not the reckless man before, remember your identity, is the dart game going to fall, so reckless!" Liu Guogong has always suspected that the person who sent this person was not to help himself, but to harm himself.

"Yes, it's just that I'm not sure if the other subordinates have other intentions, so I took the liberty to ask for the next step. “

Liuguo Gong walked around the desk with his hands behind his back, "You remember that you are only the head of the dart board, and I have my own way to deal with the affairs of the Qi Palace, you go back first." “

"Yes. Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, the man retreated, walked out of the Liuguo Mansion, and came out all the way, except for the porter, he didn't meet anyone.

Sitting at the desk, while writing hard, Hu Zhixiao, the prince of Liuguo, said: "Are you sure that the weapons are arranged?"

An answer came from the seemingly empty room: "Everything has been done according to the master's orders." “

"Withdraw the excess manpower first so as not to be exposed. “

"Yes. “

After receiving the order in a very simple voice, Hu Zhixiao put aside the letter paper in his hand and prepared to hand it to his wife at the dinner.

After turning around and returning home, Dong Qinghe went straight to Dong Chengshuo's study, Dong Chengshuo was naturally not there at this time, she was looking for someone else.

"Let's find out who is the Jianghu people who are riding horses outside Baohetang today?"

No one responded to her, but she caught the rumors of someone leaving.

The study rooms of high-ranking and powerful people are all important places for military aircraft, and many ladies are not qualified to enter and exit, let alone young ladies, Dong Qinghe did not care about these at all, and sat directly on the chair, and took the books on the table to check them.

There are so many people outside the study, and none of them dare to say a lie, the eldest lady of the Dong family is different from others, although she has never returned home, there is nothing she doesn't know about the Dong family's business bank.

Especially the things recommended by Dong Qinghe, such as grease cream and new waterwheels, etc., or fame or fortune, have brought a lot of visible benefits to the Dong family, of course, more talents, the Dong family's most important manual talents, one-third of which are promoted or recommended by Dong Qinghe.

"Qinghe, I heard that you went out today?"

Han Zhen came directly to the study when she got the news that Dong Qinghe came back, this child, she had already been in time, but she refused to come back, she has been suffering from the reputation of being sick and weak, and no one is willing to mention marriage for a long time, what can I do in the future?

"Mother, the master has instructed me to take care of Baohetang for a good life, so as not to ruin my reputation, I want to go back to Taijing to see it. “

"You, sometimes you're stronger than your brother. Everything else is up to you, but now you are not small, and ordinary women from the family have begun to plan their family affairs. “

Dong Qinghe hurriedly interrupted, "Mother, who can marry me in this Taijing City, really, and you are not afraid that he will harbor evil intentions?"

Now that the three forces are competing, the status of the Dong family in Taijing City is the most transcendent, and everyone wants to win over the Dong family, and the best way is to marry.

The most precious thing in the Dong family is Dong Qinghe, it can be said that whoever marries Dong Qinghe will naturally get the full support of Master Dong, even if she is sick to death, the Dong family has Shun'an Hall, and there is no need for her husband's family to pay for medicine.

However, no matter who has the idea of marrying Dong Qinghe, they will be considered to eat soft rice, and they will be attacked by other forces, which is obviously an enemy of the other party.

As for the eldest son of the Dong family, I have heard that he has not even been favored by the princess in the palace for so many years, and no one has beaten his idea anymore, and the Dong family has never followed common sense to pick a daughter-in-law.

"Qinghe, I've hurt you, it's okay now, what will you do in the future?"

Han Zhen rubbed her daughter's hair distressedly, she is still young now, what can she do in the future, her daughter bears this reputation firstly to protect her identity when she goes out from being recognized, and secondly, to keep the Dong family from being coveted by other forces.

After all, a sick man who has never been out of the house will never ask to marry in the name of sincerity, and everyone who comes is for the Dong family. If Qinghe is an ordinary lady, maybe some people who are "bent over by the style" come to the door every day.

"Why don't I talk to your grandmother, you still have a cousin who hasn't been married?"

"My cousin and I are not suitable, mother, you don't have to worry, the master still wants to marry my senior brother to me. Dong Qinghe shook his head and said a little proudly.

"Smack!" Han Zhen slapped her on the shoulder, "Speak well, you still want to harm your senior brother like this, your mother and I will not agree in the first place." “

The master here is not a doctor with a poisonous heart, but a close friend of a doctor with a poisonous heart, her sword master, the wife of the Cang family, Ming Xinlan.

Ming Xinlan's son Cang Ying is determined to join the army, and now he is a general, and he secretly came to Dong Mansion to visit them when he followed the old general back to Beijing to report on his work the year before last.

"It's obviously a great blessing for my senior brother to be able to marry me, mother, you can't deny the fact that my senior brother didn't have the money to rob me before just because he has military merits now. “

Speaking of this, she gritted her teeth, when she was a child, she was just called a delicate when she went out, can the Dong family rest assured, and gave her a lot of money to live with, but her senior brother, who always likes to pretend to be arrogant, has no money, and actually beat her idea.

"Miss, I found it. "There was a flash of people in the house, and the man in black appeared, who was the one who had been ordered to go out first.

"This person's name is Wu Quan, good at making iron palms, is the head of the Wufeng Dart Bureau, and it is said that he came out of the Liuguo Mansion, and today he was anxious to find the Liuguo Gong because of the ghost dart received in the Dart Bureau. “

"Ghost darts?" Dong Qinghe frowned, there are two kinds of ghost darts, one is that you can't find the person who supports the dart or the person who delivers it, and the other is that someone is deliberately looking for a place, which is originally to find fault, so there are too many possibilities.

"The people in the dart game don't seem to know about it at all, and they can't tell whether it's true or not, but the faces of several important dart masters are ugly. “

"Good. Dong Qinghe's face darkened, and Han Zhen didn't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so she was afraid of disturbing her daughter, so she was going to leave.

The little guy outside told me that King Qi sent a post.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, Han Zhen ordered the people outside the door to fetch it, and when they opened it, they saw that it was the King of Qi who came to borrow someone, saying that he wanted to invite a master who was familiar with the major foundry families to go to the Qi Palace's Mansion to identify weapons.

"Could it be that yesterday King Qi searched for privately cast weapons at the ferry. Dong Qinghe squinted, it seemed that he had brought out a lot of big boxes yesterday, which was a big crime involving rebellion.

Han Zhen put the post down and asked the housekeeper to ask Mr. Wang of Dangui Street to go to the Qi Palace.

But there are few things that are rejected when they ask for the Dong family, one is to have a personal favor, and the other is that the Dong family is looking for someone to go, and this person can also get paid, which can be regarded as a good deed. What's more, King Qi sold the Dong family a face yesterday, and he should do it immediately if he reciprocated the favor.

Wang Ding was taken by the housekeeper to the Qi Palace, and he entered through the side door, and Chu Wei once again sighed that the Dong family was powerful, and after he had eaten and drank tea, the people arrived.

Mingde Building.

Xu Shangu is also on the side, although he can be regarded as a master in the casting world, he is still a little worse than the grandmaster, and because he has been serving the royal family, the personnel in the martial arts are really not clear.

Wang Ding, who came in with the housekeeper of the Dong Mansion, was a spirited little old man, coarse linen clothes, some gray hair tied up with strips of cloth on his head, and his rough skin showed the vicissitudes of history, but his face was full of red light, and his pace was steady.

"Master Wang?" Xu Shangu's eyes widened, after all, they were in the same industry, he had seen this legendary master when he was young, this was a figure of the great fighting level in the foundry industry, especially in the casting knife.

The housekeeper of the Dong Mansion saluted: "Lord Wang, this Master Wang Ding Wang is one of the people who know the most about weapons at present. “

Xu Shangu also agreed: "Master Wang's skills and eyesight are recognized by everyone in the industry, and he is not a little more powerful than his subordinates, so don't worry." “

After Wang Ding finished saluting, Chu Wei did not delay, and directly ordered someone to open the box.

Seeing the weapon, Wang Ding couldn't move his eyes, and was stunned for a long time before he browed: "Lord Wang, please forgive me, most of these don't seem to be very good." “

"Sir is really powerful, that's right, this involves a case, and clues need to be traced from these weapons. “

For the elderly, especially the old craftsmen, Chu Ji has always respected, these people love to study all their lives, sink their hearts, and are not burdened by those fame and fortune.

Wang Ding stepped forward and picked up a knife, from the handle to the blade, carefully knocked and groped, especially the blade, rubbed it with his hand for a long time, put it down and picked up a long sword, and tried it with his hand, and pulled a sword flower.

The others stared at his movements, for fear of revealing a little, this is a grandmaster in this area, and it is good to learn a little.

"Lord Wang, where did these weapons come from?" asked Wang Ding, holding his sword.

"It was robbed at the Dongcheng Ferry when the boat came over. “

"Well," Wang Ding groaned, and raised his head again: "It is true that the inheritance of the major casting masters has its own characteristics, and those who really understand it intentionally or unintentionally can see it to some extent. If this batch of goods is not cast by the people of the Lu family in Hengyang, it is cast by Feishi Villa, in addition, there may be masters in the army who don't know each other, and there is no other opinion. “

Sure enough, the grandmaster is the grandmaster, Chu Ji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Can you please talk about the old gentleman's views on these two families in detail, this involves the case of rebellion between the DPRK and China, and it is not a trivial matter." “

"The Lu family in Hengyang has a good relationship with the imperial court, and many children of the family serve in the Ministry of Industry and the army, and they also cast weapons for the imperial court in their own families, which seems to be more involved with the imperial court. “

"Feishi Villa is a martial arts sect, and the disciples in the sect are good at casting weapons and using hidden weapons, and on the surface, they have little to do with the imperial court. “

Wang Ding put down the sword in his hand, in fact, he still has a little in-law relationship with the Lu family in Hengyang, and he really doesn't want them to be involved in the political struggle.

Mo Qin, the housekeeper of the Dong Mansion, shook his head on the side, "Mr. Wang, as far as I know, Feishi Villa and the imperial court are not without much connection. “

Turning his head to look at him, Wang Ding was not annoyed, they were all old acquaintances, waiting for him to say the following.

"The daughter of the owner of Feishi Villa sneaked down the mountain a few years ago and married the prince of Jin'an as a concubine, and the daughter of Xuancheng was assassinated after the incident, in fact, she was embarrassed to say that her daughter went to be a concubine. “

Everyone in the Mingde Building looked at each other, and this is the case?

As long as the people in the rivers and lakes are obedient and do not commit crimes, there will not be much intersection, let alone intermarriage.

I have never heard that the concubine of the prince of Jin'an is from the rivers and lakes, of course, there is also a reason why the people present do not pay much attention to the backyard of other people's homes.

"Jin Anbo Mansion has always been low-key, and it has no power, it has gone into decline, and this time it was actually involved. "Chu Xuan really doesn't pay much attention to this uncle on weekdays.

He is the prince, and there are the county king, the prince of the country, and the marquis, and he has only arrived at the uncle, and the age difference between the two is also a bit big, which he ignored.

At the same time, he was also very emotional to Mo Qin, if only the second ancestor who often wandered on the street knew this, but this was a housekeeper, looking at other families, including the housekeeper of his own family, he was really more angry than people.

The Dong family has these information, and everyone believes it, but even a housekeeper can casually tell about a concubine of a fallen uncle's mansion a few years ago.

What came out of the Dong Mansion was really not simple.

King Chu Ji of Qi thought of Dong Qingdu, the eldest son of the Dong family, come back quickly, as for the Chu Lin people to throw it there, Taijing City can't do without you.

"I don't know what else the prince has to order?" It would be useless for them to stay here any longer, Mo Qin took the initiative to ask.

"Nothing. Thank you Mr. Wang and Steward Mo today. “

It looked cold, but Chu Ji was still very polite and virtuous, and he had already ordered someone to prepare a generous gift and send it out together.

Dong family.

Dong Qinghe listened to the housekeeper talk about this, frowned, Liuguo Mansion, Jin'anbo Mansion, she always felt that something was wrong, and the two must be related.

"Uncle Mo, do you know what the relationship between Jin Anbo and the Liuguo Mansion is?"

"There are no major dealings here, they are all low-key knighthood mansions in Taijing. Mo Qin thought for a while.

Dong Qinghe lowered his head and sorted out the relationship chart on the table, Liuguo Gong, Wufeng Dart Bureau, Wu Mountain, Feishi Villa, Jin Anbo, bad weapons.

After bowing his head for a long time, Mo Qin couldn't help but remind: "Miss, it's not too early, the master is coming back." “

Standing up suddenly, Dong Qinghe looked at the sky with some embarrassment, and then looked at the things on the table.

Well, I'm quite able to toss.
