Chapter 049: Ready to Fly

"One hundred secrets!"

Qi Jinzhi slammed down the armrest of the chair hard, and said hatefully: "It's all my negligence that I forgot about this." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

More than two months ago, Qi Jinzhi received information from secret agents one after another, he sorted out and summarized the information, analyzed it carefully, and then vaguely guessed an amazing plan.

Subsequently, he specially ordered people to keep an eye on the Ma family and their in-laws, and after a few days, he really found some clues.

On the other side, Gu Jialuo also used his connections to find out some secrets in the southwest.

The husband and wife inadvertently mentioned this matter, and both of them were shocked in their hearts, and after thinking about it for a while, they both made a decision - to tell each other frankly.

The two talked in detail all night, except for the last hole card (that is, the specific hands assigned to them by each parent), the two told each other everything they knew almost without reservation.

The young couple of the Qi family nested on the shelf bed, put down the curtain, and the two crossed their knees to discuss and analyze together.

With your words and my words, you actually guessed the plan of Ma Zhongtai and his family.

There are three reasons why they were able to figure out the plans of Ma Zhongtai and his wife so smoothly:

First, it is well-informed and has many helpers;

the second is that Qi Jinzhi and his family are extremely intelligent people;

Thirdly, the Zhu family is too arrogant, and he is even more unscrupulous and unconcealed when calculating people, and in the eyes of those who have a heart, it is easy to find the problem.

Now that they were aware of the conspiracy of the Ma family, Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo immediately made a strategy to deal with it, that is, to repair the plank road in the dark, and throw out the bait to lure the snake out of the hole.

On the surface, Qi Jinzhi continued to suppress bandits outside the city, confusing the people of the Ma family and the Zhu family, and making them relax their vigilance.

They are indeed cracking down on bandits, but the cottages they have exterminated are all targeted, and they are basically 'thieves' dens related to the Annan Mansion or the Ma family.

At the same time, Qi Jinzhi also quietly went to Shuixi, and had frequent contact with General Ma and several old troops in the southwest battalion, and by the way, he also asked General Ma to be an intermediary and sit down and negotiate with Shuixi's family and Zhanjia.

It's a pity that the An family and the Zhan family were hostile to the Qi family at that time, and even if they believed Qi Jinzhi's words, they were unwilling to cooperate with him.

Later, Qi Jinzhi learned that the two families had long been aware of the ambitions of the Zhu family, and they were stubborn diehards, and they were quite dirty with several families close to the imperial court, such as An, Lu, and Zhan.

Otherwise, Zhan Azhuo would not have followed the Zhu family to Wusa 'stupidly', and was repeatedly used as a gun by her.

Of course, this is on the surface, in fact, Ah Zhuo has a straight personality and is not stupid, don't look at her not having read seriously, but she knows the true meaning of 'hiding clumsy'.

The Zhu family used her and wanted to borrow her hand to kill Gu Jialuo; Ah Zhuo also simply took the opportunity of being a guest at Ma's house to look around for news with a 'stupid' face.

Qi Jinzhi didn't know what Ah Zhuo heard in the Ma family, but a few days before the Torch Festival, news suddenly came from Shuixi, saying that An, Zhan and several other families were willing to join forces with the Qi family, so Ah Zhuo copied the secret mansion of the Ma family overnight, and An and Zhan took the Zhu family in Shuixi in one fell swoop.

As for Usa, it's much simpler.

Maybe it was the influence of a few wealthy families in Shuixi, or maybe there were still expectations for the Ma family, but the five major families of Wusa were unwilling to cooperate with Qi Jinzhi, let alone be driven by him.

It was the explosion of the Torch Festival that woke up the five major families with bloody facts, and for the sake of the family's interests and their own safety, they turned to Qi Jinzhi for help.

The two sides reached a cooperation intention, and the five families fully cooperated with Qi Jinzhi's 'leading the snake out of the hole'β€”β€”

On the one hand, he deliberately released the rumor, saying that his family had serious casualties and closed his door all day long;

On the other hand, they secretly mobilized manpower and prepared equipment, and launched last night to eliminate all the private soldiers of the palace who came to besiege them.

Qi Jinzhi's plan is very large, and he uses a lot of manpower, and the effect is not bad.

The only omission is to forget about the official warehouse and transportation.

"What a Ma Zhongtai, no wonder he is so happy, he has been prepared for a long time."

Qi Jinzhi slapped the armrest of the chair again and scolded hatefully.

Gu Jialuo thought intently, and when he heard this, he shook his head, "Uncle, in my opinion, this should not be Ma Zhongtai's doing. ”

If it was just a few important roads to Usa, then it was possible that Ma Zhongtai did it.

But the person who did it actually burned down the official warehouse, which makes some sense.

Qi Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What did Arrow think? ”

Gu Jialuo didn't sell it, and said directly: "Uncle has you forgotten that Wusa's official warehouse is cleaner than a woman's face, except for some old farm tools, archives, and moldy and sprouted seeds, what else is valuable?" Ma Zhongtai is not stupid, why waste time, firewood and manpower to burn an empty warehouse? ”

The corners of Gu Jialuo's lips curled slightly, and he said sarcastically: "Ma Zhongtai and Zhu are the same kind of people, they can't afford to be early, and they like to be clever the most, and they will never do anything to lose money." If their purpose was to block Usa's traffic, they would have blown up a few roads, so why bother. ”

Guancang is the general name of the warehouse set up by the imperial court, and generally speaking, each county and government will have several warehouses, such as Zhengcang, Yicang, Changping and so on.

The county town of Wusa is too small, and there is turmoil from time to time, the mountain people resist taxes fiercely, the wealthy families annex land, and the taxes stipulated by the imperial court cannot be collected every year, and the official warehouse is finally left with only one main warehouse.

In the past ten years, the only remaining Zhengcang has become increasingly abandoned, and the rent and tax have been collected below, deducting the rice of the county officials and the daily expenses of the government office, and the rest have been divided by the six major families, and the warehouse is not used at all.

Wusa Zhengcang is located in the middle of the city, just one street away from the county office.

As Gu Jialuo said, if the person who burned down the official warehouse and blew up the road was really Ma Zhongtai, he would never risk being discovered and run to burn a worthless warehouse.

The slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, Qi Jinzhi pondered for a moment, and nodded slowly: "What Ah Luo said is extremely true. But if it's not Ma Zhongtai, who will it be? ”

Gu Jialuo didn't speak, because she didn't know either.

"Blowing up a few roads at the same time, it's a big deal, it's not worse than our Qi family at all."

Qi Jinzhi's eyes stared at the corner of the room, and he muttered: "Last night, the city was full of our people, especially near the county office, which was heavily guarded. ”

Gu Jialuo deeply agreed, this is what their husband and wife are most worried about.

The couple is not afraid of strong opponents, but afraid of unknown enemies. Because you don't know who 'it' is, and you don't know when 'it' will pop up and catch you off guard.

"Alas~~" Qi's little couple made a difficulty at the same time.

However, what no one expected was that their problem was solved casually by Ah Zhuo.

"It should be Yang Asha,"

Ah Zhuo sat on the chair, his two little feet dangling in the air, swaying back and forth, holding a green apple in his hand, clicking and clattering.

I only heard the vague words in my mouth: "She is from Miao Village, and later went to Yizhou with her family, and I heard that she went to Annan again, and she came to visit Anayi a few days ago." ”

"Yang Asha? Annan? ”

Gu Jialuo's mind flashed with inspiration, and he blurted out: "Could it be that she is a secret envoy sent by the Annan Royal Mansion to contact the Zhu family?" ”

Ah Zhuo finished eating the fruit in two bites, and threw it away, and the core of the fruit fell steadily into the white porcelain dish on the side of the high table, she leaned over, picked up another one from the fruit bowl, and continued to gnaw.

Gu Jialuo couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she saw that she was eating happily, she was not greedy, but felt sour.

This is a kind of apple produced in Umont, sweet and sour, crisp, ripe after the skin is also emerald green, hence the name green apple.

The guys from the Xie family specially sent some, and when Gu Jialuo tasted it, he was almost sour, and the remaining fruit that was missing was directly wiped out by Qi Jinzhi.

After eating the apple, Qi Jinzhi also laughed at Gu Jialuo's 'picky eater'.

Gu Jialuo is very wronged, she has never been a picky eater, but her ability to accept certain tastes is not very high.

For example, sour and sweet, a small amount is okay, a little more, Gu Jialuo can't enjoy it.

Seeing Ah Zhuo gnawing on green apples one after another, Gu Jialuo panicked for her, and kept secreting sour water in her mouth.

"It's really smart, no wonder you can calculate Anayi,"

Ah Zhuo clicked and said, "That's right, although there is no conclusive evidence, I can conclude that Yang Asha must have been sent by the royal palace. Like Anayi, she likes to play tricks, and her nostrils are facing the sky all day long, and she is the most arrogant. ”

Handsomely threw the kernel into the white porcelain dish, Ah Zhuo touched a lychee again, lowered his head and peeled the skin, and said in his mouth: "However, she is smarter than Anayi, and she is more ruthless than her." Anayi is a mother in the end, and she has some scruples in her heart. Yang Asha is singleβ€”"

In a literary way, although the Zhu family is bad, there is still love (maternal love) in her heart, but Yang Asha is unscrupulous, and the bottom line, discipline and so on have long been eaten by herself.

Gu Jialuo was stunned.

This is very in line with the style of the person who burned the official warehouse and blew up the mountain road.

Qi Jinzhi once analyzed with her that the reason why that person burned the official warehouse in one more move was for two purposes:

First, he naturally wanted to burn down Usa's grain storage and take the opportunity to create chaos;

Second, it's Hongguoguo's provocation - aren't you all powerful, isn't it a last resort, your aunt and grandmother burned your granary right under your nose, what can you do to me?!

"Yang Asha, what kind of person is he? Can you tell me about it? ”

People made a move, but she didn't even know the details of the other party, it was too dereliction of duty, no wonder she failed.

Ah Zhuo threw the whole peeled lychee into his mouth, stirred his cheeks a few times, and spit out a pit without a trace of flesh, "She is about Chinese New Year's Eve years old now, and she was engaged to the son of a small landowner in Yizhou when she was young, and the result is ...... Since then, she has become a little eccentric, fairly delicate, with some dark skin, not tall, and thin. ”

Ah Zhuo was still a little interested at first, mentioning Yang Asha's negative man, his tone also became cold, and he lost the interest in eating fruit, picked up the wet handkerchief on the shelf, lowered his head and wiped his hands carefully.

Gu Jialuo was listening attentively, and suddenly saw Ah Zhuo's face change, and couldn't help but wonder a little, and immediately thought of the grievances between the Qi family and the Zhan family, and his face was also a little unnatural.

Gu Jialuo opened his mouth, wanting to explain a few sentences, but he didn't know what to say. After all, Qi Mianzhi is a person from Dongqi, and she is a bride in the next room, so it is really difficult to interfere.

Gu Jialuo was silent, but Ah Zhuo suddenly spoke, "Now that Usa's path is all broken, what can Qi Jinzhi do to send the letter out?" ”

Gu Jialuo was stunned. Messenger? Isn't everything arranged in Shuixi?

Could it be that Ah Zhuo wanted to use Qi Jinzhi's channel to write a letter to Ah Duo in the capital.

Ah Zhuo pursed his lips and said coldly: "Don't worry, I'm not writing to Ah Duo, as early as when she chose to go with Qi Mianzhi, she had already betrayed the family and was no longer a member of our Zhan family." ”

Gu Jialuo asked puzzledly: "Then why are you still looking for her?" Didn't you even look for the Qi family for her? ”

Ah Zhuo sighed, "One yard to one yard, I can disown Ah Duo, but I won't sit back and watch her being bullied by a stinky man." ”

Ah Zhuo is indeed a bit of a single cell, but he has a kind of natural intuition of animals, and his thoughts are simple and direct, right is right, wrong is wrong, and there are clear grievances.

Although she hated her sister for being ruthless to her family, she also felt sorry for her wandering alone in a strange capital, so since Ah Duo left the southwest, Ah Zhuo has been looking for Ah Duo with great fanfare, and she keeps saying that she wants to avenge her 'poor sister'.

She did this just to 'remind' the Qi family that Zhan Aduo was not an orphan girl, she still had her mother's family, and hundreds of people from Shuixi Miao Village supported her.

Gu Jialuo glanced at Ah Zhuo, and for some reason, she admired this rude and pungent Yigirl.

Azhuo was still saying, "Iβ€”Where did I go?" Oh yes, write a letter! Yes, I'm going to write to Daddy. The matter involves Yang Asha, so you have to pay attention to Yizhou. And the original plan also needs to be adjusted. ”

Gu Jialuo seemed to think of something, "Yizhou? What you mean is that the Annan Royal Mansion may abandon Shuixi and send troops directly to Shudi. ”

Yes, Wusa failed, and the plan of the king of Annam to occupy the six tribes of Wumeng, encroach on Kunming and Dali, and then capture the whole of Yunnan will be frustrated.

The Shuixi side had already made preparations, just waiting for the soldiers and horses of the palace to throw themselves into the net.

Yang Asha is a smart person, so naturally she will not watch her own people being ambushed, so she will destroy Usa's traffic and prevent the news from spreading.

Then she persuaded her master to adjust the plan, such as abandoning Yunnan and attacking the defenseless Shu instead.

Zhuo nodded.

Gu Jia stood up and bowed respectfully, "Second Miss Zhan, thank you!" ”

Qi Jinzhi also suspected that the arsonist was a spy of the Annan Palace, and also speculated that they might modify the plan. But I don't know where the Annan palace will start.

They don't know as much about the southwest as Ah Zhuo, even if they want to break their heads and discuss the surrounding prefectures and counties, they can't guess which the next target of the palace is.

Azhuo's reminder is so timely!

Gu Jialuo secretly wondered, which fool said that Ah Zhuo was 'stupid', meowed, is there such a smart 'fool' in the world?

That night, Qi Jinzhi wrote several letters one after another and sent them out through the Qi family's secret channels.

……

"What's the news today?"

After the county lord of Qinghe finished handling the housework, when he returned to the main house, he found that Qi Ling had returned from the palace first, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

In the past few days, I don't know which god I have offended, my son is a good official in the southwest, but he has provoked several imperial histories to impeach him.

What is the unkind of officials and harsh treatment of the mountain people, what is cruel and vicious, and what deliberately provokes the people's uprising, what ...... The county lord of Qinghe listened to those nonsense, and he couldn't wait to run to the gate of the palace to knock on his grievances.

Fortunately, the saint is a true saint, suppressed those unreliable bullet seals, on the one hand ordered the political envoy of Yunnan and the Wumeng Mansion to verify the situation, and on the other hand, the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department selected officials to go to the southwest to investigate.

Subsequently, the sage summoned Qi Lingxian into the palace and continued to inquire about the situation in the southwest, and publicly praised Qi Lingxian several times afterwards as a fierce general and talent.

Qi Jinzhi was impeached, although the saint did not explicitly protect him, he told everyone with practical actions: The Qi family is the family of meritorious deeds that we cover, and Qi Jinzhi is the young man we trust.

What, Qi Jinzhi is guilty?

Where's the evidence?!

A certain imperial history: ......

The sage spread his hands helplessly: Look, I am not a faint king who protects the rebellious ministers, but you really have no evidence. When there is solid evidence, it is not too late for us to deal with it!

In the face of such an emperor, the imperial historians, who have always been known as cannons, are also dumb.

Qi Jinzhi's stirring up of the people was temporarily suppressed by the saints.

However, there has been more discussion between the DPRK and China about the affairs of the southwest, and as they talked, someone would pull the Qi family out and hang it on the wall.

Whether it is Qi Mianzhi last year or Qi Jinzhi this year, they have become the protagonists of many topics.

Even Qi Ziru, who has been dead for many years, has been turned out by someone with a heart, listing his merits and demerits, and finally came to the bullshit conclusion that his merits and demerits are offset and the calamity is still missing.

When the people of the Qi family and the two mansions heard this, there was no one who was not angry, and scolded the troubled Yushi in their hearts.

The county lord of Qinghe was even more angry, because in addition to outsiders pouring dirty water on his son, even Dongqi also came out to join in the fun, sneering and saying strange things, so he almost said directly, let Qi Jinzhi take the blame himself, and don't involve others.

Outsiders slandered Qi Jinzhi, and the county lord of Qinghe only scolded two 'nonsense', but the next door like this really made her feel cold.

Thinking that at the beginning, Qi Mianzhi caused the Qi family to lose their titles and military power, and the lord and her only sighed a few times secretly, and they never said anything to blame before, let alone talk about it like the eldest princess, and turned their faces ruthlessly.

"There is still more than a month to go until the Halloween Day, and no one in the DPRK should pay attention to Brother Jin'er's affairs anymore."

The county lord of Qinghe didn't wait for Qi Ling to answer first, and then said something to himself.

Qi Lingxian said: "Didn't I say it, the saint is the most saintly, he didn't say it on his lips, but he understood in his heart that those people just had nothing to do, and the saint also knew his brother's temperament and personality." And againβ€”"

Qi Lingxian hesitated, looked left and right, propped his elbows on the kang table, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "I heard Liu Neishou in the palace occasionally mention a sentence, saying that when the sage just received the bullet medal, he was also a little annoyed, and it happened that on that day Master Miaozhen entered the palace and talked with the sage for a while, and after the master left the palace, the sage returned to normal. ”

The county lord of Qinghe's eyes lit up, and he also learned her husband's posture, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Master is saying that the master helped Brother Jin say good things?" ”

Qi Ling sat back on the kang first, his fingers brushing his beard.

Seeing this, the county lord of Qinghe knew that he had guessed correctly, and his hanging heart finally let go, he bowed with his hands together, and recited the Buddha a few times.

Qi Lingxian said again: "Just now you mentioned the Halloween Day, are you ready to offer the saint's feast?" ”

He lost the title of Duke of the Kingdom, but recently the saint has treated him quite favorably, and Bao Buqi will allow them to enter the palace to celebrate his birthday.

Moreover, the county lord of Qinghe still has a seal on his body, but according to the law, he wants to offer a congratulatory gift.

The county lord of Qinghe put down the big stone in his heart, the whole person relaxed, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, I have prepared it a long time ago, although it is not too valuable, but it is also a part of our mind." ”

Birthday gifts, too expensive and eye-catching, too thin and rude, not light or heavy is the most suitable.

"By the way, Brother Jin wrote last time that he went to the countryside to suppress bandits, and he also confiscated a lot of good things. His daughter-in-law is a sincere child, and she picked the best person to send back to Beijing,"

The county lord of Qinghe pinched his fingers, "Count the time, it's almost there, and then take a look, maybe there is a more suitable one, and then we will go in and offer it together." ”

Qi Ling first ignored these housework, nodded casually, and let his wife handle it.

He only reminded him, "Choose a few elegant ones too, and send them to the mountains." Nobles are not rare to see these mundane things, but they are a little bit of a child's heart. ”

The county lord of Qinghe immediately understood what her husband meant, Miaozhen helped his son, and the courtesies were still exchanged, and they couldn't forget about others. And when giving gifts, they should also be given in the name of Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo, which also shows that Qi Jinzhi is a good boy who will repay his kindness and affection.

brushed up on his son's praise, the county lord of Qinghe liked it the most, and nodded happily.

The husband and wife talked about some news in Beijing.

Qi Ling suddenly remembered something, "When I left the palace, I heard someone say that Concubine Liu Xian was unconscious, as if she had some strange disease. ”

"Hey, the guy next door has a chance to show his face again." The county lord of Qinghe was rarely mean.

Qi Lingxian shook his head, "My nephew and daughter-in-law went to see it, but they said that there was nothing they could do." ”

The county lord of Qinghe was interested, "Oh? There are also diseases that she can't cure? Hiss~~ Although Concubine Liu Xian is not very healthy, she is not an unblessed person, how can she be-"

Qi Lingxian didn't care about whether Concubine Liu Xian was blessed or not, the reason why he mentioned this person was because, "The Liu family is in charge of the guards, and the Wanshou Festival is approaching, so it's better not to have any accidents." ”

The Liu family is the maiden family of Empress Zhenlie, a relative of the old brand, and the men of the Liu family are mediocre, but they are obedient.

And Concubine Liu Xian has no children, and she is a person who keeps her duty on weekdays, so the saints are selected and selected, so she promoted Liu Xianfei's second brother and Liu Jingsi, the second son of Yongenbo, to serve as the commander of the Jingwei to guard the palace and guard the city gate.

Concubine Liu Xian is not an important figure in the palace, but having such a brother in charge of the security of the palace ban is not to be underestimated.

Qi Ling was a military general first, with the keenest intuition, and after hearing this gossip, his first reaction was Liu Jingsi.

The county lord of Qinghe frowned, "Master Xu is thinking too much, Concubine Liu Xian has always been kind, and no one should borrow her to calculate the Liu family." ”

Qi Lingxian smiled first, noncommittal.

Concubine Liu Xian, who was being discussed by them, was now in a deep sleep, and in front of the bed, two young women in palace clothes were whispering.

"She's not going to wake up all of a sudden, is she?" The ninth princess didn't dare to look at Concubine Liu Xian, and confirmed it again and again.

"No, unless you give her an antidote in advance." Yao Xiruo secretly despised it, these nine princesses, they dared to poison their biological mother at a young age, they were really not as good as animals.

But at the moment, the ninth princess still has the value of use, Yao Xiruo didn't dare to offend, and patiently promised: "My medical skills, the princess should be trustworthy." ”

The ninth princess snorted, but muttered in her heart, what can I believe it, things have developed to this point, she has to send it when she is ready to fly, and that matter must be prepared as soon as possible......
