Chapter 119: The First Thing
“…… Father, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger?! ”
Qi Jinzhi lobbied hard, "Xiao Gang wants to find out the secret of my Qi family's firearms, and we also want to know the details of the 'military'." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info That's why I deliberately set up this bureau to lead Xiao Gang to be fooled. ”
Qi Ling sat behind the desk and listened quietly, unable to see any expression on his face.
After Qi Jinzhi's words came to an end, Qi Ling asked faintly: "Do you want to use the firearms workshop in the northern suburbs as bait to lure the people from the 'military' to take the initiative to expose?" ”
"That's right, father, in the past month or two, I have been dealing with Xiao Gang, originally thinking of finding out the secrets of the 'military' through him, but this kid is not very old, but he is as cunning as a fox, and he has not left a single flaw,"
A flash of frustration flashed in Qi Jinzhi's eyes, and he immediately said proudly, "However, this time I threw him an incomparably precious bait, and I don't believe that he can endure it." ”
The Qi family's firearms are famous all over the world, and even the royal family is red-eyed.
If it weren't for the fact that the Qi family acted secretively and had always kept a low profile in the matter of firearms, except for the southwest border, there was basically no trace of the Qi family's firearms in the Central Plains of Great Qi, and the saint would have directly taken the Qi family's firearms as his own on the charge of 'endangering stability and having bad intentions'.
The 'military' background is very mysterious, and their plans are not small, and they will certainly not be able to resist the temptation of firearms.
And the subsequent facts proved that Qi Jinzhi's judgment was correct, "At noon today, Xiao Gang has ordered someone to send a message, and he has repeatedly confirmed that he will go to the northern suburbs tomorrow to 'pick up the goods'." The servant who delivered the letter also vaguely mentioned it, saying, "This matter is very important, and our uncle is afraid that something will go wrong, so he intends to bring a few more people." Hehe, father, son can conclude that eight out of ten of the people Xiao Gang brought are 'military' people, and it is very likely that they are confidants. ”
It's just porcelain thunder, no matter how valuable it is, there is a way to buy it.
But the address of the Qi family's secret workshop, this temptation is too great, even if the Xiao family and the so-called 'military' will doubt the authenticity of this matter, they will desperately try their lives to find out.
"You're right, it's just—" Qi Ling first twisted his beard and said in embarrassment: "Although the workshop in the northern suburbs is old, it is still an important firearms production base for our Qi family in the capital. Wouldn't it be a pity to abandon it?! ”
The capital is not the southwest, and the Qi family can open such a workshop under the nose of a saint, and I don't know how much effort it has took.
Over the past few decades, there have been several turmoil in Beijing, but the Qi family workshop has not been exposed, let alone damaged.
And now, but-
Qi Ling thought about it first, but he couldn't make this ruthless heart.
Qi Jinzhi was very unimpressed, but he still pretended to regret and said: "The northern suburbs are of great significance to my Qi family, to put it mildly, it is a father's reluctance, even a son, if it is not a last resort, I don't want to use it as bait." However, the father, Rong son, to tell the truth, the workshops in the northern suburbs are no longer suitable for the production of firearms. ”
The buildings were dilapidated, the tools were badly outdated, the craftsmen were a bit old, and the efficiency of the workshop was frighteningly low.
Compared with the southwest workshop, the northern suburbs are like a drooping old cow, eating a lot of forage, but it is faltering and can't do much work at all.
Qi Jinzhi has long wanted to close the northern suburbs workshop, but there has been no suitable opportunity.
Now that he finally has an excuse, Qi Jinzhi tried his best to persuade Qi Lingxian.
"Having said that, but, can ......" Qi Ling hesitated first.
Qi Jinzhi was secretly anxious, thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and threw out a big killing weapon: "Father, in fact, not only the workshop in the northern suburbs has lost its value, but even the porcelain thunder has lived up to its original power and magic." ”
Qi Lingxian sat up straight suddenly, staring at Qi Jinzhi with burning eyes, "You go on!" ”
Porcelain thunder and thunderbolts are the representatives of the Qi family's firearms, if the porcelain thunder is 'outdated', then, the Qi family will be dangerous.
Qi Jinzhi did not hesitate, met Qi Lingxian's gaze, and said slowly: "Father, my son got a news that the Firearms Department of the Ministry of War has developed a firearm that is not inferior to porcelain thunder, and I heard that the craftsmen of the Firearms Division are still improving. There are also exhibitors in the southwest, Qi Qinzhi has helped them create porcelain mines, which are no different from ours. ”
Qi Lingxian's face instantly faded from blood and became extremely white, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Qi Jinzhi couldn't bear to see his father's devastated appearance, sighed silently, personally poured a cup of hot tea for his father with a teapot, and stuffed it directly into his father's hand.
Qi Lingxian held the tea bowl in both hands, felt the warmth in his palm, he brought the tea bowl to his mouth and took a big sip.
The unique bitter taste of tea spread in his mouth, and Qi Lingxian's disordered mood gradually calmed down.
"With the most skilled and outstanding craftsmen in the world, and the strong support of saints, it is not surprising that the Firearms Division has been able to develop excellent firearms."
Qi Ling looked at the corner of the study fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "As for the Zhan family~ Hmph, what a Qi Qinzhi, even the ancestors can be betrayed, it is really unscrupulous." Such a shameless little brute, I shouldn't have saved him in the first place. Ruthless, unjust, and betrayal of the clan, it's really rotten—"
Qi Lingxian scolded hatefully.
Qi Jin's eyes flickered, and his expression was a little unnatural. He hurriedly interrupted Qi Lingxian's cursing, "Father, the matter has come to this point, let's talk more useless, let's get down to business first." ”
Qi Lingxian's anger was surging, and he scolded angrily: "This, isn't it a serious matter?" Hmph, what's your business? ”
Qi Jinzhi was afraid that Qi Lingxian would scold him again, and he would not sell the guanzi anymore, so he said happily: "Father, the firearms of the Qi family are far more than porcelain thunder, thunderbolts, firearms and bombs. I remember that in the notes left by my ancestors, there were also several more powerful and lethal firearms. ”
As long as Qi Ziru's handwriting is restored, the Qi family will not be worried about not being able to create newer and more powerful firearms? !
Qi Lingxian's eyes lit up, and then darkened again, "What's the use of that?" The ancestor's handwriting is divided into two, and we only have half of Xiqi, and the other half should be in Qi Qinzhi's hands. For this half of the notes, Dongqi and Xiqi fought for decades...... Qi Qinzhi is a narrow-minded, shameless and despicable villain, do you think he is willing to give us the other half's notes? In my opinion, even if he burns or throws away the notebook, or even cheapens outsiders, he will not give it to us. ”
Qi Lingxian was very disappointed with Qi Qinzhi, and couldn't help but want to scold him when he mentioned him.
Qi Jinzhi hurriedly interrupted again, and said with a little excitement: "Father, the ancestor's half-breakup is Qi Qinzhi's only remaining bargaining chip, and he will definitely not let it easily." But we can think of other ways. Father, don't forget, Qi Qinzhi is the son-in-law of the Zhan family. The Zhan family does not have only one son-in-law. ”
In addition to Qi Qinzhi, Master Zhan also has a second son-in-law named Duan Zhengdao.
Duan Zhengdao, named Zhengdao, is not a righteous man at all in what he does.
On that day, in order to get rid of Zhan Azhuo, he did not hesitate to go to the county government to make false accusations, so that Zhan Azhuo had to give up a silver mine to barely survive the catastrophe.
Later, Zhan Azhuo retaliated with thunder and directly cut off Duan Zhengdao's career, so that he could only be an adjutant officer for the rest of his life.
Although Qi Jinzhi did not see Duan Zhengdao's current situation in person, he knew with his toes that for a scholar like Duan Zhengdao, whose heart was higher than the sky and who was a self-sustaining genius, cut off his career and made him more painful than killing him.
Now, Duan Zhengdao must hate Zhan Azhuo and the Zhan family, if he has the opportunity to retaliate, he is willing to lose his life!
And Qi Jinzhi didn't plan to ask Duan Zhengdao to die, he just let the second aunt of the Zhan family get closer to his brother-in-law, and then 'take' something from Qi Qinzhi's hand.
"Are you sure?" Qi Lingxian asked in a deep voice, but there was a faint excitement in his tone.
He had already heard it, and since his son said so, he must be seventy or eighty percent sure. Perhaps, while their father and son were talking, the southwest side had already won it.
"Yes!" Qi Jinzhi straightened his waist and said confidently.
"With the handwriting of our ancestors, we can make better firearms, porcelain thunder or something, and if we abandon it, we will abandon it."
Qi Jinzhi said eagerly, "So my son wants to use these things that are destined to be abandoned to do something, no matter whether it is successful or not, there is no waste of the ancestors' efforts." ”
Qi Ling nodded uncontrollably, looking at Qi Jinzhi's eyes full of pride, "Okay, you can think so thoughtfully, my father is very pleased." Just follow your plan, and later, my father will order someone to go to the northern suburbs to make arrangements. ”
"Thank you, father!"
Qi Jinzhi hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Qi Ling waved his hand first and said with a smile: "My father and son, what do you say thank you for." Tomorrow you will do it, and your father will give it his full support. There is only one thing, and you have to be cautious and cautious when you act. Xiao Daozong is not simple, the origin of the 'military' is extremely complicated, and the slightest carelessness will arouse their suspicion. In this way, many of our efforts have been in vain. ”
"Yes, my son obeys his father's orders!"
Qi Jinzhi responded respectfully.
Qi Lingxian explained a few more words in detail, and made sure that there was no omission in tomorrow's plan, so he sent Qi Jinzhi out.
Qi Jinzhi strode out of the study, and just looking at his back showed a sense of arrogance.
Qi Lingxian narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face became very cold, but he believed in his wife's and daughter-in-law's speculation more and more.
After sitting quietly in the study for a long time, Qi Ling got up first and came to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion against the wall, raised his hand and twisted a front-facing celadon vase on the shelf.
Squeak~~
The Hundred Treasure Pavilion slowly opened outwards like a door.
Qi Lingxian turned the white jade lotus petal bowl next to the vase again, only to hear a muffled sound, and the wall behind the Hundred Treasure Pavilion moved to the right, revealing a small door for one person to pass through.
Qi Ling first took a lantern, lit it with a fire breaker, and then carried the lantern into the small door.
As soon as his figure disappeared behind the door, there was another bang, and the open wall closed again, and the Hundred Treasure Pavilion automatically turned back to its original position.
Behind the small door is a staircase.
Qi Ling first carried the lantern and went down the steps to the secret room underground. There are five secret rooms in total, all of which are made of heavy bluestone, with a thick layer of steel plates inside, and a layer of cotton wrapped in the innermost layer.
"Sir!"
Several figures flashed out silently, and saluted Qi Ling in unison.
Qi Ling waved his hand first, signaling them to 'follow usual'.
Several people did not speak, and in groups of two, they entered the secret rooms around them.
Qi Lingxian entered the middle room alone.
Close the heavy iron door, there are no doors and windows in the secret room, no mezzanine, and all the next door is guarded by the dead soldiers of the Qi family.
Unless there was a god-man with tailwind ears, no one could hear what Qi Lingxian said in the secret room.
"The eldest grandmother knew about Concubine Liu Xian and Princess Danyang's mother and daughter from Xiao Shijiu's mouth, and the eldest grandmother seemed to have thought of something, and ordered someone to go to the southwest overnight. In addition, the eldest grandmother continued to order people to look for monks who are skilled in Buddhism, or real people who are skilled in Taoism."
In the secret room, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man stood bent down and whispered.
Qi Lingxian also stood, for no other reason, the secret room was empty, and there was no furniture.
"Master, the eldest grandmother seems to think that the uncle has a problem, and she tries her best to quarrel with the uncle on weekdays, but the uncle is so angry that she walks away...... The subordinates don't know whether to say it or not, what is it, since Luoyang came back, the uncle and the grandmother have never been in the same room. ”
"Also, the eldest grandmother once went to Jingyue Nunnery, but unfortunately Jingyue Nunnery has a shadow guard handle, and her subordinates can't get close at all, so I don't know what grandma said to Xiao Yan."
"And—"
Qi Ling first raised his hand to interrupt him, "Okay, the whereabouts of the eldest grandmother will be found here." From now on, you guys will take good care of me uncle. No matter where he went, who he saw, or what he said, he had to find out for me. In addition, he notified the southwest side and ordered them to pay close attention to Qi Qinzhi and Zhanjia's every move. Especially Qi Qinzhi, if he has any abnormalities recently, let the southwest pay more attention. ”
"Yes!" There was no suspicion, no inquiry, and the middle-aged man responded sharply.
This is the real secret guard of the Qi family, or 'dead soldiers', they are only loyal to the head of the family, even if it is the wife and children of the head of the family, if the head of the family needs it, they will be merciless as the target of the mission.
Therefore, let alone spying on Qi Jinzhi, even if they kill him, as long as Qi Ling speaks first, they will strictly enforce it.
After sending the middle-aged man away, Qi Lingxian stood alone in the secret room and muttered, "Could it be that he is really fake?" Well, if you look closely, there are some details that don't look right. But, if he is Xibei goods, then、Where did Boyan really go? Is he—Is he still alive? ”
Thinking that his outstanding son might become a lonely ghost, or even be scattered, Qi Lingxian couldn't help but shed tears.
On the other side, Gu Jialuo was also asking, "Are you sure?" Is this method insured? ”
Xiao Shijiu was dressed in neat men's clothes, stood on the side of the Luohan bed, and replied softly: "So that the young master knows, his subordinates asked the Taoist priest repeatedly, and he said that although this method is a bit dangerous, there is also a sixty or seventy percent certainty that it can be achieved." He also said that if the time drags on too long, the uncle may be in danger, and even if he finds a perfect way, I am afraid—"
Gu Jialuo's little face was pale, and his eyes were dark and uncertain. (To be continued.) )
