"Angel, this is the last workshop? Look—"

Qi Jinzhi led the attendant around the mountain, and finally came to the third Zhuo Tube Well, which was still a temporary pavilion, still a crumbling Zhuo Tube Well, but there was no major mistake. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With a blushing face, the chamberlain walked quickly to the stove on the side of the pavilion, reached out and touched the edge of the pot, and licked it.

"Bah, bah, bah," the chamberlain spit out all the inferior well salt, and secretly cursed in his heart: What the hell is going on? Doesn't it mean that this is a secret workshop of fairy ointment? How did it become a place to boil private salt?

Suddenly, the chamberlain remembered that Qi Jinzhi had been delaying time since he went out in the morning, could it be that he took the opportunity to destroy the evidence in advance?

The inner waiter's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and he slowly walked to the Zhuo Tube Well, where the 'craftsmen' pretended to be Xiang Yong were shaking their wheels vigorously, and the huge disc with a diameter of about half a zhang (about 1.6 meters) was squeaking and rotating, and the long, thick bamboo was pulled out of the well.

The waiter looked at it coldly, and estimated the length of the bamboo in his heart.

But to his surprise, the bamboo dragged up from the well by the 'craftsmen' was more than ten meters long.

In other words, this strange small-caliber well is at least a dozen meters deep.

The chamberlain turned his head to look around, looked around carefully, and then looked down at the ground: this is a mountainous area, the soil is messy, and it is impossible to dig a well more than ten meters deep on such soil in one or two days.

That is, the well originally existed?

Is this really a workshop for the Qi family to collect well salt?

The waiter was like a balloon that had been punctured, and he suddenly lost his spirit, and he didn't have the heart to deal with Qi Jinzhi's questioning.

But this time he obviously came straight to this mountain, but he did not find the 'evidence' he wanted, and his behavior can be guessed by anyone with a discerning eye who has seen him as 'coming prepared'.

Qi Jinzhi and his wife are just that, even if they understand it in their hearts, they will not really care about the 'angels'.

However, the Miaozhen master who was far away in the capital was not easy to deal with, and she would definitely feel that the chamberlain was deliberately targeting Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo, and even had selfish intentions to harm them.

Hiss~~ The waiter suddenly shuddered, and inhaled the cold air again and again.

No, he must not tell the truth.

With his right hand between his lips and a light cough, the waiter pretended to be angry, and asked sharply, "Workshop?" Hmph, Qi Governor's Mansion, we want to ask, what kind of workshop is this? Yes? ”

As he spoke, he also lit the boiling brine in the cauldron with his chin, which was full of hints.

Qi Jinzhi is not a fool, and he can't pretend to be stupid at this moment, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized: "Don't blame the angel, Qi Mou, as a Great Qi official, is familiar with the 'Great Qi Law', and he also knows that Grandpa Gao clearly stipulates that people are not allowed to boil salt privately." However, Wumeng's situation is a bit special, this well salt is not within the scope of official salt, so-" He didn't break the law.

The southwestern government and the Tusi coexisted, especially in the mountains, and many laws were even more useless. Even if we want to talk about the law, there are 'extralegal exceptions'.

The private exploitation of well salt is a 'special case' tacitly accepted by the government and the Tusi, and it is an alternative 'the people do not hold officials accountable'.

Therefore, after Qi Jinzhi said this, he hurriedly came to the chamberlain and quietly stuffed him with a bulging purse.

The waiter took the purse skillfully, and his fingers habitually twisted it, rustling, like paper.

The waiter was satisfied, what he said just now was just to find a step for himself, and by the way, he also warned Xiao Twenty-nine beside him - look, the Qi family is not innocent, and they also boil salt in private, which is illegal. What's that, our family is generous and doesn't care about the Qi family, you bastard don't have such a long mouth, you deliberately ran to the master to complain, so good?!

The chamberlain did not rush to put away the purse, but glanced at Xiao Twenty-Nine out of the corner of his eye.

The waiter's little idea, of course, can't hide from Xiao Twenty-nine's eyes. He thought about it, this matter is not a big deal, as long as Qi Jinzhi and his wife are not calculated.

As for a small chamberlain, let alone his own master, even he Xiao Twenty-nine will not take it to heart.

Deliberately pretending not to see it, Xiao Twenty-nine turned his head to look around, as if he suddenly found that the scenery on the mountain was good, and he admired it.

Seeing this, the waiter knew that Xiao Twenty-nine would not pursue the matter again, and the tense heartstrings were relaxed.

Putting the purse into his sleeve pocket, the chamberlain said to Qi Jin: "Governor Qi, rest assured, our family came to Wumeng just to investigate the matter of the warbler millet." Now it has been ascertained that Gu Yiren has nothing to do with this matter! ”

The chamberlain looked up at the sky and urged, "Okay, it's not too early, let's hurry back to the city!" ”

Qi Jinzhi hurriedly followed his words and ordered repeatedly: "Go down the mountain and go home!" ”

The group hurried down the mountain.

Before leaving the salt factory, Qi Jinzhi seemed to inadvertently glance at a big man among the 'craftsmen'.

The big man was dressed in brown coarse cloth trousers, his face was covered with dust, and his hair was a little messy, and he looked like a coolie doing rough work.

But his two eyes were very attentive and alert, and he received the eyes handed over by Qi Jinzhi at the first time. He nodded slightly, and then quickly flashed to the artisan dormitory next to him.

The chamberlain was in a hurry to return to the city, and Qi Jinzhi did not intend to delay, and the group quickly went down the mountain.

Coming to the foot of the mountain, the chamberlain got back into the carriage, while Qi Jinzhi, Xiao Twenty-nine and a kind of guard turned over and got on their horses one after another.

The wheels of the carriage rolled, and a dozen horses all went on the road, adding a lot of noise to the silent mountain road. There was also the sound of a horse's hooves in the mix.

"Uncle."

hurriedly changed his clothes, and Qi Dayong couldn't bother to wipe the dirt on his face, so he chased after Pegasus.

Qi Jinzhi looked ahead and asked lightly: "What the hell is going on?" ”

When Xiao Twenty-nine heard the movement, he didn't rush to get up, but continued to walk in front of them at the position of a horse's body, but his ears moved slightly.

Qi Dayong succinctly told Fang Cai's matter.

Qi Jinzhi's eyebrows frowned: "You said that the craftsmen are gone, and Zhuo Tube Well and Pavilion have been knocked down and buried?" There were also a lot of warbler millet fruits and fairy ointment planted in the workshop? ”

Qi Dayong nodded, "The pavilion and Zhuo Tsujing are okay, the subordinates ordered people to find them in the deep ditch halfway up the hillside, but those craftsmen have not found any traces so far." Small suspicions, they may be caught in advance and hidden! ”

Qi Jinzhi's brows tightened, "What a big stroke?" I didn't know that in the southwest, there was such a big man? ”

The Qi family is the former overlord of the southwest, even if it is now declining, but the foundation is still there.

The secret guards of the Qi family are constantly spying on various movements in the southwest, and their tentacles involve all corners.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Qi Jinzhi wants, he can know clearly what meals the political envoy's family eats every day!

But now, the facts tell him that there is a mysterious force in the southwest, which is very powerful, and can actually make waves under his nose.

The sword blade is even more directed at Qi Jinzhi!

Intolerable, absolutely intolerable!

Qi Jinzhi gritted his teeth: "Today's matter, you did a good job. In this way, you go back to the salt field first, gather all the villagers from the nearby contact points, and carefully search all the surrounding mountains and forests for me. I don't believe it, so many craftsmen can still disappear out of thin air? ”

If you want to see people in life and see corpses in death, you can't be confused!

Qi Dayong clenched his fists to receive the order, and then quietly withdrew from the convoy without attracting attention, turning back along the way he came.

"It seems that the man is not good."

Xiao Twenty-nine pulled the reins, and the horse under his crotch paused slightly, and only after Qi Jinzhi approached did he shake the reins again to drive the horse forward.

The two walked side by side, talking in low voices.

Qi Jinzhi didn't ask Xiao Twenty-Nine why he knew this, Xiao Twenty-Nine was a practitioner, and his ear power was definitely comparable to that of a very human being, when he and Qi Dayong were talking, Xiao Twenty-Nine was not far away, and it was normal to hear it.

"Yes, and as soon as I made a move, it was a ruthless move, and I was almost calculated."

Qi Jinzhi was once again glad for today's caution, otherwise, he would definitely fall into the trap of the other party.

What a behind-the-scenes promoter, this big/boss should have known that He's method of framing Gu Jialuo with the plantation wouldn't work, but he still continued to push He's to the front and paralyze the vigilance of the Qi couple.

Then, when it came to the most critical time, he made a ruthless move to catch Qi Jinzhi and his family off guard!

If it weren't for Qi Jin's prudence this time, if he hadn't brought enough people in advance, if it weren't for Qi Dayong's cleverness and ability, if it weren't for the fact that Xiangyong was all over the countryside...... Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo properly became the scapegoats for the warbler corn incident!

"Huh? No, that person can set up a situation on my territory, he must be a thoughtful and capable person, and at the same time, he must have great power in his hands......"

Qi Jinzhi suddenly had a chill, he couldn't say why, he just had a bad premonition.

He quickly turned his brain, trying to think about the problem from the perspective of the big/boss, and set up a situation to dig a hole.

After thinking about it for a long time, his handsome face instantly turned pale, and a layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, "No, it's not good, Xiao Twenty-nine, let's, let's hurry back home!" ”

Go home, he wants to go home immediately.

Qi Jinzhi thought of his wife with a big belly, and recalled what Qi Dayong said, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Since that person wants to target the couple, he will never set up only one bureau, and it is the safest way to use both sides and exert force at the same time.

Here, Qi Jinzhi will be caught by an angel from Beijing; Over there, Gu Jialuo, who is seven months pregnant, may be accidental!

The more Qi Jinzhi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he shook his horsewhip desperately, "Drive, drive, drive~~~"

Xiao Twenty-nine was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and hit the horse to catch up with Qi Jinzhi, who was almost crazy, "Are you worried that person will attack Gu Yiren?" It should be fine, Xiao Nineteen and Xiao Thirteen They both stayed in the mansion, and the entire Houya, even the Houya Street outside, was guarded, I want to come-"

Qi Jinzhi was so anxious that his facial features were a little distorted, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "My salt farm has been served by someone, can the back office still hide?" I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, that's my wife, my child!! ”

When it came to 'wife' and 'children', Qi Jinzhi's voice was a little out of tune, and he was smoking the horsewhip more and more fiercely, and he couldn't stop shouting, "Get out of the way, let Lao Tzu get out of the way." Drive, drive~"

The guards who opened the way in front were startled and retreated to the sides. Before they could look back, they felt a gust of wind rush past, followed by a wave of sand.

"Phew~Bah~"

The chamberlain happened to look out of the window, first startled by the galloping horses, and then filled with yellow sand.

But tragically, as soon as he spat out the grit from his mouth, another horse flashed over and continued to give him a large piece of raised sand.

“…… Straight mother, these two are crazy? ”

The waiter hurriedly retracted into the carriage, spit out the grit in his mouth, wiped his face with a handkerchief, and then cautiously approached the window, showing only half of his head, and squinted ahead.

Ahead, there was only a lingering cloud of yellow mud and sand, and the two initiators were long gone.

……

"Big grandma, big grandma, it's not good, it's not good!"

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old little maid ran from the front to the back, babbling all the way, startling countless birds returning to the nest at sunset.

"Presumptuous, yelling, what do you look like?"

Mother Qu was discussing the dishes for dinner with Mother Feng in the kitchen, when she suddenly heard a noise, she stuck out her head and scolded loudly.

Feng's mother also frowned, but the maid who was in trouble outside was the Qi family's maid brought by Qu's mother from Beijing, and Feng's mother, as a halfway passer, was really not good to meddle in the training.

Mother Qu felt that she had lost face in front of Mother Feng, dropped the medicinal recipe in her hand, and strode out of the kitchen, just about to grab the unruly little hooves and scold her.

No, this girl's voice is so loud that Gu Jialuo, who is in the western room, heard it.

Ziwei was ordered to come out to question, and she beckoned to the little girl.

The little maid pretended not to hear Mother Qu's scolding, and trotted to the bottom of the corridor, "Sister Ziwei, you hurry up and say hello to grandma, something happened outside, something big happened!" ”

Ziwei's smile remained unchanged, as if she didn't see the little girl's rudeness, and asked lightly: "Grandma just sent me out to ask, what happened?" What makes you so panicked? Could it be that the Tartars have entered the city? ”

Ziwei is not a person who swallows her anger after all, and the last sentence is full of her rebuke to the little girl.

The little girl's emotional intelligence is touching, and she didn't hear Ziwei's sarcasm, but shook her head seriously: "Sister Ziwei, wasn't Tartar beaten away by the uncle a long time ago?" ”

Ziwei: "......"

The little maid continued: "However, the matter outside is even more tricky than the arrival of the Tartars. I don't know what's wrong, there are a lot of people gathered outside the palace, most of them are old people, women and children, all kneeling on the ground and shouting wrongs. ”

Ziwei's expression changed slightly.

Gu Jialuo's voice had already come out from the West Room, "Ziwei, let her come in and talk back!" ”

Ziwei hurriedly led the little maid into the door.

Gu Jialuo leaned on the chaise longue under the south window, glanced at the maid, and said, "What's going on outside?" Why did the people cry out? ”

The little maid saluted and said hurriedly: "The people who shouted grievances said that their men were recruited by the uncle to do work, and they went for several months, and now they don't see anyone alive or dead, and they want to ask the uncle and grandmother to call the shots and let the men of their family go home......"
