On the third day of the full moon banquet of the happy sisters, Qi Jinzhi set off to return to the capital. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before returning to Beijing, he personally sent the Chu family back to Shuixi.

The Chu family was not happy, and in the Chu family's mind, she could take her daughter back, and the two sisters Chu Pei and Chu Yu had to stay.

Even if the two can't stay at the same time, one must be left behind. Like, Chupe!

But Qi Jinzhi's attitude was very resolute, he was extremely polite and grateful, and he only said that the Chu family was kind to their little couple, and said very guilty that he couldn't be so selfish, for the convenience of his own family, but let the elders work all the time.

As for the Chu family sisters, Qi Jinzhi didn't even mention it, but when he was ready to see them off, he had to pack them up and send them away.

Qi Jinzhi's words were all said about that, even Gu Jialuo came to 'thank' his aunt with a sick face, and happily prepared a rich gift for the Chu family and his party, and almost asked someone to 'help' the Chu family and others 'see off'.

…… Chu Pei blushed his cheeks, grabbed his aunt who was still trying to persuade him, and said very firmly: "Thank you cousin and cousin-in-law, our sisters have not helped much in the house these days, but have made my cousin-in-law worry a lot." A month of bothering is enough, and we should go back. ”

While saying, she gave Chu Shi a hard look: Go, you must go! If she stays any longer, she will definitely have a fight with Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo, and it is needless to say that she will be embarrassed at that time, and the most important thing is that she will never have the possibility of coming back.

That's right, Chupe had exactly that idea. Anyway, who stipulated that if you leave today, you won't be able to come back tomorrow?!

Marrying into the Qi family is her best and only chance to turn over, and she will never give up easily.

When sending the Chu family back to Shuixi, Qi Jinzhi also deliberately brought a rich thank you gift, one was to thank his aunt for a month's hard work, and the other was to ask Ma Hanze one thing, that is, to ask Ma Hanze to help take care of Wumeng during Qi Jinzhi's return to Beijing.

The palace of Annam has decayed, and King Xiaoliang has also been blown up alive, but the southwest is still unstable.

Bandits are plentiful, rebellious soldiers are rampant, and the Tusi and leaders of various ethnic groups secretly expand their power...... Although Umeng has settled down temporarily, it has not yet achieved complete peace.

Qi Jinzhi suppressed the bandits strongly, tried his best to compress the power of the Yi Tusi, and had already formed many enemies.

Qi Jinzhi is okay in Wumeng, those people are taken by the power of Qi Jinzhi and the Qi family's firearms, and they should not dare to attack easily.

But once Qi Jinzhi leaves, some people may take the opportunity to cause some trouble. Not to mention that there are still mysterious soldiers and horses hidden in the mountains of Shuixi, who are secretly staring at Wumeng and the Qi family.

In this way, the support of the Shuixi camp became particularly important to Umeng.

Although Qi Jinzhi is confident that he can mobilize the strength of the battalion, now Ma Hanze is a true general, and Qi Jinzhi cannot bypass him in public or private affairs.

"Bo Yan, you can go with confidence, there is me in the southwest, and I will never let the bad guys cause trouble to Wumeng."

Ma Hanze was very satisfied with Qi Jinzhi's posture, there were some things they knew to each other, but no one would break it on the surface.

Qi Jinzhi did a good job, and he was also happy to be generous.

Qi Jinzhi thanked him again and again, and talked to Ma Hanze about the situation in the southwest and the situation of several powerful mountain bandits.

During the conversation, Qi Jinzhi generously said that in order to support his uncle's suppression of bandits, he specially sent ten boxes of porcelain thunder made by the Qi family.

Ma Hanze listened to Qi Jinzhi's words, his eyes flickered, his nephew was really alert enough.

The Chu clan just quietly inquired about some news in the mansion, and Qi Jinzhi noticed it so quickly.

That's it, but after Qi Jinzhi knew that the Ma family was very concerned about the Qi family's firearms, instead of hiding them quickly, he generously sent the things to Ma Hanze's hands.

You must know that Qijia firearms are famous in the southwest, but few people have the opportunity to get a large number of finished products.

One of the tasks given to Chu by Ma Hanze was for her to find out the secret recipe for the firearm and get enough finished products.

The recipe must be extremely difficult to solve, and the finished product can only enter in small quantities, and the number will not exceed two digits at most.

A dozen firearms simply could not support the needs of the experiment.

Ma Hanze's craftsmen once proposed that at least one box (about more than 100 pieces) would be enough.

After the Chu family arrived in Wumeng, on the surface, they stayed in the mansion to help Qu's mother take care of the affairs of the back house, but in fact, they secretly spilled a lot of manpower to infiltrate all corners of the Qi family.

It's a pity that the Chu family's stay in the mansion was too short, and Rao spilled a handful of silver tickets, and only bought a few porcelain thunderbolts from the Qi family's guards and treasury stewards.

But right now, Qi Jinzhi personally sent the porcelain thunder to the door, and the quantity was just the 'box' that the Ma family needed, if there was no reason here, it would be really strange.

A touch of embarrassment flashed in Ma Hanze's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, brushing his beard and exclaiming: "Good, good, Bo Yan is worthy of being a loyal person of my Great Qi Dynasty, and he never forgets to worry about the people." I will accept this porcelain thunder, but don't worry, I will never accept your porcelain thunder in vain. ”

Ma Hanze clapped his hands, and two people who looked like officials walked in with a black and thin man.

Ma Hanze said with a smile: "This person's surname is Qu, and he quietly sneaked into Shuixi this spring, intending to persuade several wealthy families in Shuixi to plant warbler millet seeds, but was stopped by the second girl of the Zhan family. This thief is not dead, and he ran to Wumeng ...... with a large number of warbler seeds."

Qi Jinzhi's expression became very solemn, and his ice-like gaze fell on the man who was covered in bruises and only half a breath left.

Ma Hanze was able to catch this person, and he had already been tortured, so he must have known some of the inside story of the 'Yingsu Incident'. Qi Jinzhi didn't make a detour, and asked directly: "Uncle, isn't this person a fellow party of the criminal wife He's family?" ”

The smile on Ma Hanze's lips was even stronger, and he nodded slowly, "That's right, this surnamed Qu, like the He family, is from the capital." I've ordered someone to torture you, Bo Yan, who do you guess this person is? ”

When he said the second half of the sentence, Ma Hanze's tone was already tinged with a chill.

Qi Jin was stunned, looked at Ma Hanze's gaze, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and blurted out: "It can't be the prince's person, right?" ”

Ma Hanze's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and he said with mockery: "Yes, the surname Qu confessed to several people, I flew the pigeon to pass the book to Beijing, and after many inquiries, all the clues pointed to the prince." ”

But the problem is, the prince is the grandson of the Ma family, and he is a natural ally with the Qi family, how can he send someone to calculate the Qi family?

Although the Qi family has fallen, its foundation is still there. Qi Jinzhi's momentum is just right, and there is the awe-inspiring backer of Master Miaozhen, even if the prince and Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo have a dead knot that cannot be resolved, it is impossible for the prince to fight with the Qi family at the moment when the succession is becoming increasingly hot.

Not to mention that the prince not only has no grudges against the Qi family, but is very optimistic about the Qi family.

Every festival or major day, the East Palace will give a gift to the Qi family, just like the treatment of the Qi family when it was still the Qianguo Mansion.

The prince's alignment with Ling Xian is also a lot of attention.

There is a lot of evidence that the prince has no reason and will not calculate the Qi family at all.

Qi Jinzhi's eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "Prince? Hmph, that man is really so bold that he actually stretched out his dog's paw to the prince?! ”

With such an obvious trap and discord, if Qi Jinzhi believed it, then he would be a fool.

Ma Hanze was very satisfied with Qi Jinzhi's posture, Qi Jinzhi's words clearly showed his and the Qi family's attitude towards the prince - they may not be staunch princelings, but the princes are fighting, and they will definitely stand on the side of the prince.

That's enough.

Ma Hanze continued: "In addition, the people below also investigated that the incident in Wumeng a month ago was deliberately instigated by someone. I don't have clear evidence, but there's a set of clues that point to a person—"

Speaking of this, Ma Hanze hesitated, as if he didn't know whether to say the man's name or not.

Qi Jinzhi hurriedly clenched his fists and asked respectfully, "Who is it?" Please also ask my uncle to speak up. ”

Ma Hanze's expression was a little weird, and he said a name that Qi Jinzhi didn't expect at all, "Yes, it's the Ninth Princess." ”

What the? It wasn't Qi Yao's family, but what was the ninth princess of Laoshizi?

It is said that the ninth princess is a harem lady, and she can't easily get out of the palace city on weekdays, so how can she, how can she calculate Aro thousands of miles away?

The most important thing is that the Ninth Princess and Gu Jialuo have no grievances or hatred, and there is not even a little friction, so she has no reason to harm people at all.

Ma Hanze organized the language, as a general who galloped across the field, he didn't care about the trivial matters of the women in the palace, but since this matter was related to the Qi family, he had to pay attention to one or two.

His sister is the queen, and the big and small things in the palace can never be hidden from Queen Ma's ears and eyes, Ma Hanze has close correspondence with Queen Ma and the prince, and he also listened to it a few times.

"Bo Yan, I guess you should have heard that Concubine Liu Xian was infected with a strange disease, and now she has become a living dead who can only breathe but is unconscious and unable to move,"

Ma Hanze simply told the situation of the ninth princess's mother and daughter: "I heard that after the ninth princess recovered from her dementia, she became a little, a little 'jumpy', and Concubine Liu Xian was better when she was healthy, and she could watch and persuade at all times." Now...... Alas, as soon as Concubine Liu Xian fell ill, the Ninth Princess became more and more reckless, she not only had close contacts with the Qi Yao family, but also circled between the eldest prince, the crown prince and the fifth prince all day long. Nominally, it is a brother and sister relationship, and she wants to be close to her brothers, but secretly she has a lot of tongue and tricks, and what's more, she also relied on the love of the saint and several brothers, and began to meddle in the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office and the Zongren Mansion, and recently she even came to Master Miaozhen to offer courtesy......"

Ma Hanze shook his head as he spoke, his eyebrows full of mockery, it was obvious that he was very disgusted by what the Ninth Princess had done.

Qi Jinzhi was still wondering, but when he heard the last sentence, he vaguely guessed something.

Could it be that the ninth princess was jealous of the master's doting on Ah Luo, and conspired with people (such as Qi Yao's family) to plot Ah Luo, and when Ah Luo went, she could take her place?!

Qi Jinzhi couldn't help but feel funny, what did the nine princesses think in their heads?

The master has been up and down in the palace for decades, well-informed and mentally tough, how can he be easily swayed?

Oh, do you think this is a carrot robbery, kill Gu Jialuo, and her ninth princess will be able to top it?!

"Thank you, uncle. Boyan and Arrow couldn't be more grateful. ”

Although he felt incredible, Qi Jinzhi was still very happy to know more clues, sincerely thanked Ma Hanze, and had lunch at Ma's house, and then left in the name of hurrying.

Ma Hanze and the Chu clan personally sent Qi Jinzhi outside the second gate, and saw him lead a group of guards out of the mansion, Ma Hanze raised his hand, and two black shadows leaped out of the corner and chased straight over.

In the evening, the two black-clothed men who followed Qi Jinzhi quietly entered the study, "So that the master knows that Lord Qi really did not go back to Wumeng directly, but went to the west of the city." The little one asked the local mountain people, and there seemed to be a horse farm for the Zhan family. ”

Ma Hanze was a little puzzled. Qi Jinzhi had just copied the Wumeng Zhan family, and the Shuixi Zhan family was somewhat dissatisfied with him, but in the blink of an eye, he ran to the Zhan family's land again.

What's going on?

"Go and find out which master of the Zhan family has gone to the horse farm recently. In addition, I instructed the people below to spread some news about Qi Qinzhi and the Zhan family's firearms workshop in Shuixi, especially to let my good nephew know. ”

Ma Hanze is bound to obtain the Qi family's firearms, and the Qi family's imprint in the southwest military camp is too deep, he is nominally the commander of the big battalion, but he has never been able to completely control it.

He needs an opportunity to muddy the waters of the southwest a little more, and finally achieve his and the prince's goal - to completely take down the entire southwest.

……

The next day, Qi Jinzhi led a hundred guards and two hundred villagers on the road, accompanied by 'angels' Wu Gonggong and Xiao Twenty-nine and others.

In addition, the main men of the Qu and Zhan families involved in the 'Yingsu Seed Case' were also escorted on the road.

The group walked out of the Wumeng City Gate, and Gonggong Wu looked back, full of sadness. Woo, I finally went on a business trip and looted tens of thousands of taels of silver, but all of them were taken away by Xiao Twenty-nine.

Gonggong Wu glared fiercely at Xiao Erjiu, who was sitting on a high horse, through the carriage window, and once again greeted him and the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Qi family and his wife.

Raising his sleeves and wiping his tears, Gonggong Wu comforted himself and thought: Fortunately, he found out some secrets, and after returning to the palace, he can also show his face in front of the saint. Maybe you can use this to get promoted and make a fortune.

Thinking about it like this, the deflated Gonggong Wu rejoiced again, and the bumpy mountain road didn't seem so unbearable.

On the other side, Qi Jin's previous foot was out of Wumeng, and Chu Pei took the maid and sister-in-law to 'visit' his best friend and cousin-in-law Gu Jialuo, and brought her an explosive news-

“…… Cousin, do you know that there is something you have been hiding in the dark, I can't help it, I, I have to tell you the truth! ”
