Xiangyang Hou died, and their family made countless groups of people who wanted the Qi family to go over to mourn for the old man, but they were all blocked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOn the third day of the first seven, even a fool knew that Falcon Books was deliberate. On this day, Xue Pan visited friends in Xiangyang Houfu Zuo, wore plain clothes, and went over to pay respects. Qi Jianhui saw that he had just finished eating, and guessed that he didn't come on a special trip. But he didn't know what he did, but he came out with him.

After the sacrifice was finished according to the rules, and after a few more words, the two of them went to the next room to sit for a while. Xue Pan saw Qi Jianhui's eyebrows tightly locked, and persuaded: "The old man is so old, it can be regarded as a happy funeral." ”

Qi Jianhui sighed: "It's not because of this. Xue Pan raised his eyebrows. Qi Jianhui smiled bitterly, "There is a cousin whom my grandfather loves very much, who is considered to be his own granddaughter, but I couldn't find it for some reasons a few years ago. He was found by the old man two days before leaving, but the girl had some misunderstandings at home and refused to come back. There is also a snake living near her house, and she does everything she can to stop us from delivering a letter to her. ”

Xue Pan snorted: "In this case, what are you still pulling?" Don't. ”

Qi Jianhui sighed again: "It's just that my grandfather really misses her, and he still misses her before leaving." always hoped that she could come to give the old man a ride, so that he could go over there with peace of mind. ”

Xue Pan said: "It's not easy for you. "After thinking about it, "The head snake is just a rat, and it is troublesome for the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to come forward to take charge." Your girl, the benefits of giving ideas will naturally come. He snorted again, "I've seen a lot of people like this." It's okay to give her a man the benefits of ideas. ”

Qi Jianhui shook his head. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Brother Xue, if you want to find someone and don't have an address, how will you find it?" ”

Xue Pan said: "Ask his friends and relatives to inquire." ”

Qi Jianhui said: "I don't know his friends and relatives, he is a person in the green forest." ”

Xue Pan said: "Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths." The Green Forest people naturally asked the Green Forest people. There's a S.H.I.E.L.D., did you know? ”

Qi Jianhui said: "I only learned about it recently. ”

Xue Pan clapped his hands and said, "Look, if you want to know, you will naturally inquire, right?" ”

Qi Jianhui frowned and said, "I heard that this S.H.I.E.L.D. is asking for money and shamelessness. It's not just our family looking for that person, I'm afraid they will turn over and sell it for money. ”

Xue Pan said: "Do you want people to know that you are also looking for that person?" Qi Jianhui nodded. Xue Pan said, "Won't you ask others to investigate?" ”

Qi Jianhui's eyes lit up: "That's right!" Brother Xue, you really can't compare to the back then, a good life. ”

Xue Pan proudly bowed his hand: "Be polite, don't be impressed for three days!" ”

Two days later, a man who looked like a steward went to the Falcon Book Store to do business. It turned out that he was from Ruixiang Silver Building. In the old years, they married a young family, and the young grandmother was from Suzhou. Because of the long distance, I specially entrusted a dart, and it was the best Taiping dart game in Beijing. At first, it was fine. When they arrived at the junction near the junction of Wu and Chu, they encountered powerful bandits, five or six hundred people. Seeing that he was invincible, a master suddenly descended from the sky, killing the bandit leader and repelling the bandits like a ghost. Ask the people in the dart board, they don't recognize it! Then he encountered more than a dozen dangers along the way, all of which were rescued by this person. The owner and young owner of Ruixiang Silver Building are very grateful to him, and feel that his talent is rare. Nowadays, the world is extremely uneven, and I have the heart to ask this person to come from home to do things.

The guy from the Falcon Bookstore said: "Do you have an appearance, do you have a martial arts path?" And the steward spoke for a long time, and left a portrait of the man.

The guy recognized at a glance that the person wearing a straw hat in the painting was the second master of their family, and said, "It will take some time, and the gentleman will come back in seven or eight days." The price will have to wait for us to find out a rough idea. The steward repeatedly said, "The price is fine," and please.

As soon as he left, the man smiled and showed the portrait to the owner. Liu Xiaoqi said with a smile: "The second brother shouldn't have caused some peach blossom debts." Because he remembered that Jia Cong said that Xiangyang Houfu would ask others to find a green forest person for them, he muttered, "It won't be so coincidental, where is it......" Nai sleeved the portrait and went to Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as Jia Cong heard it, he said, "It's on!" He sighed again, "I don't want the Chu government to reach the point where it has to rely on robbery to maintain itself so soon." ”

Chen Ruijin also said: "When they came back from this trip, I suspected that there was a Chu army pretending to be a bandit and a water bandit. ”

Jia Cong said: "I'm afraid of more than one." Nai snorted, "I'll just say it." Ordinary robbers are enough for us to deal with, and we can't compare with the regular army. ”

Liu Xiaoqi glanced at the two of them: "You two explain it clearly!" The king of Chu sent someone to rob the young grandmother of Ruixiang Yinlou's family convoy, and the envoy of the king of Chu and Xiangyang Houfu were in a group, and Xiangyang Houfu would ask someone to inquire about a person in the green forest, and it turned out that it was the steward of Ruixiang Yinlou. Could it be that Ruixiang Yinlou and the King of Chu are in a gang and take away the dowry of their own young grandmother? ”

Jia Cong said: "Their young grandmother's maiden family is a wealthy family in Suzhou, and the two have a lot of business contacts, so they won't kill chickens and take eggs." Besides, it's not that their family didn't give enough dowry. That steward is either using the name of the master to buy news from you, or he is an impostor from another family, or someone has tried some way to coax the owner of Ruixiang Silver Building to be interested in your second brother and will not hesitate to spend money to find out his whereabouts. There are ghosts in the horizontal and vertical Ruixiang silver building. ”

Liu Xiaoqi frowned and said, "What is the origin of Ruixiang Silver Building?" I didn't know. Why did the King of Chu plant spies in their house? ”

Jia Cong said: "It may not be that the spies were planted, or it may be bought after knowing about it." What does it have to do with Qi's? The bodyguard is Liu Er, and Qi is Liu Si's ex-wife. ”

Chen Ruijin said with a smile: "Didn't Brother Lan say it? Misunderstand. ”

Jia Cong said: "That's not right! Shouldn't they be more afraid of their bookstore? ”

Liu Xiaoqi snorted: "Fearful? The envoy of the king of Chu is not a fool, if he mistakenly thinks that my second brother is with ...... That one...... The fourth sister-in-law has something to do with it, and she will avoid it. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Don't forget, your bookstore has just opened, and Liu Er went to the bodyguard." Hurry up and hurry, and come back before the year. ”

Liu Xiaoqi slapped his forehead suddenly: "Yes!" The second brother came to our bookstore first on the day he returned to Beijing, but it happened that the envoy of the king of Chu was doing business with me. He didn't come to speak, as if he were a guest from outside. ”

Jia Cong pondered: "They hurried to Suzhou on horseback; I'm afraid that something will happen on the road, and it will be very fast to return to Beijing. The letter of the fake water bandits of the Chu State will not enter Beijing faster than them. Nai stood up, "Suppose that when Liu Er met the envoy of the king of Chu in the bookstore on the day he returned to Beijing, the envoy did not know that someone had disturbed a single business of their prince - since the king of Chu had professional robbers, there must be more than that business. Was he wearing a straw hat that day? ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I put it on, take it off and put it behind my back when I enter the house." ”

"The straw hat is a feature that makes him easily recognizable." Jia Cong said, "Go to the neighborhood and ask if anyone has ever inquired about a person wearing a straw hat and when did he inquire; If so, what did the neighborhood's aunt tell them? "It's about his cousin, Liu Xiaoqi left immediately.

That night he came again. Sure enough, someone was near the bookstore to inquire about Liu Er. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a person came, claiming to be the catcher of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, wearing civilian clothes to handle important cases, and asked if anyone had seen a person wearing a straw hat and carrying a portrait. Liu Er will not let others see when he comes to the bookstore, only once he shows his face, that is, in the old year, Chen Ruijin invited Princess Jian'an to scare the ruffians and hooligans for the Qi family. Most of the neighbors watched the excitement from afar; The children were bold and small, and they were familiar with Liu Mingyi, so several of them slipped inside to probe their brains. Some children recognized Liu Er's portrait, and told him that the person who caught Princess Jian'an left and he didn't follow, as if he was not in a group. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the catch came again to inquire about the origin of the Qi family. A woman with a broken mouth told him that she had heard that the Qi family came from the Hou Mansion.

Chen Ruijin said with a smile: "That's it, the Qi family and Liu Er got on the hook." ”

Jia Cong also said: "I went to the dart game, and no one came to inquire about Liu Er. On the way to the bodyguard, the people of the dart bureau said to Ruixiang Yinlou that they didn't recognize Liu Er. The ghosts in Ruixiang Silver Building are either among the people who receive relatives, or they have a very high status. ”

Liu Xiaoqi asked, "Why is your status very high?" ”

"After taking their young grandmother back to Beijing, I always have to talk to the owner and the important steward about things on the road. If you ask a guy, according to the professional ethics of the spy, you have to ask the other party for verification. What if the guy is not convinced? Since he didn't even go to the dart bureau for verification, the inner ghost has a great grasp of the news, and he wasted that effort if he didn't go to the dart game. Jia Cong said, "I just bothered Fourth Uncle Jia Ming'er to go to Ruixiang Yinlou and talk a little." ”

Liu Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Shi Li sent someone to Xiangyang Houfu to find out the news, and wait for him to find out something." ”

Shi Liyin wanted to escort Shi Xiangyun and Mu Shi to Taiwan Mansion, and he was busy settling the matter at hand recently, so he rushed over very late. However, Xiangyang Houfu has already figured out a lot.

Just a few days before the old marquis passed away, the envoy of the king of Chu came to visit in person, and the old man Qi and Qi Jianhui, father and son, accompanied and talked. Qi Jianhui ordered someone to send a portrait to his daughter-in-law, saying that he was a relative of the Qi family, and asked if he could recognize it? Grandma Qi looked at it for a long time and didn't recognize it. Then he passed it on to the rest of the wives and grandmothers. Not long after, the servant woman of Princess Lin'an recognized it, saying that the woman in the portrait was the embroidery girl whose princess went to buy embroidery a few days ago, and she came out of the palace and would embroider the patterns in the palace. It was her neighbors who injured the princess.

Qi Jianhui suddenly remembered something and blurted out: "Could it be her?" "Busy people sent the portrait to Grandma Qi again, "Let grandma take a closer look, do you really not recognize it?" ”

Grandma Qi looked at it carefully for a long time, but she still couldn't distinguish it, but she felt a little familiar. It turned out to be a daughter-in-law beside her and said: "Grandma, I look a little like the girl from the fifth uncle's family in the early years." ”

Grandma Qi suddenly said: "Yes!" It's been too long to remember, but it's really like her. She sent someone back to her husband: the portrait was the granddaughter of the fifth uncle who entered the palace on behalf of her own girl.

Later, the envoy of the king of Chu discussed with Qi Jianhui behind closed doors for a long time, and then ordered someone to invite Qi's Laozi and his brother to come. Then he ordered to make filial piety clothes for her, and after the old marquis died, he sent more than a dozen groups of people to coax her back to her house - all of them were beaten back by the people of the Liu family.

After everyone listened, they each told Shi Li the news from all over the place, and they thought about it for a while.

Jia Cong said: "I'll sort it out." The Taiping Dart Bureau escorted the people of Ruixiang Yinlou to Suzhou to pick up relatives, because the young grandmother brought a lot of dowry, which provoked the robbery of officials and bandits under the command of the King of Chu. Liu Er jumped out to defeat the officials and bandits and protect the dart. After returning to Beijing, he went to the bookstore to visit Xiao Qi, but he happened to meet the envoy of the king of Chu to do business. However, at that time, the envoy of the king of Chu may have thought that he was also a guest to do business. A few days later, Xu attracted the envoy of the King of Chu to know about the feat of Liu Er's bodyguard, so he asked someone to pretend to be a fast catcher in civilian clothes to handle the case, and the place where he met Liu Er, the Falcon Bookstore, visited Liu Er, and caught up with Qi. Check Qi's again. If the surname Qi and the Hou Mansion come out, it is easy to be suspicious of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion surnamed Qi. He went to Xiangyang to inquire in person, and he could be regarded as finding out the origin of the Qi family. ”

Chen Ruijin pondered: "It seems to be true. However, it is very far-fetched to think about several places, and the relationship between them is still unclear. ”

Jia Cong said: "The first one." Since the envoy of the King of Chu thought that Liu Er was going to find Liu Xiaoqi to do business, then he was a spy. What's the use of asking a spy about a few idlers, long-tongued women and children? Besides, it's just that the officials and bandits lost a deal, and it's not a big deal, and there are many green forest transactions that may or may not succeed; Why did the Chu State paint a portrait of Liu Er? I think that's the crux of the matter. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "It's the Chinese New Year right now, and the envoy of the King of Chu is busy. He was willing to leave so many important matters behind and personally went to Xiangyang Houfu to inquire about the Qi family. ”

Liu Xiaoqi held his cheeks and thought for a long time, and said, "The envoy of the King of Chu has not suspected that the second brother has something to do with our bookstore. Otherwise, using the funeral of Xiangyang Hou to coax the fourth sister-in-law over, this method is too hasty. ”

Jia Cong nodded: "Well, they only regard the Qi family as neighbors with you." You like Mingyi so much, a few children play together every day, I'm afraid you are just nosy. ”

After a long time, Shi Li suddenly said: "The state of Chu has gradually divided into several factions over the years, and several uncles are not convinced by the king of Chu. This envoy of the king of Chu was sent by the first king of Chu, and the current king of Chu is his grandson. I don't know if this envoy is the king of Chu behind it. ”

Jia Cong took the case: "You mean, which uncle Wang has followed the envoy of the king of Chu and has the intention of begging assassins and usurping the country?" ”

Shi Li said: "You are used to seeing the prince in Beijing, and you have forgotten that S.H.I.E.L.D. originally started in the green forest?" The people who came to S.H.I.E.L.D. may not be spies, and they can't be guaranteed to be people in the green forest. Didn't Qi Jianhui tell Xue Pan that he was looking for a person in the green forest? A mysterious straw hat guest quietly helped Ruixiang Yinlou protect the young grandmother's dowry, but did not receive the reward. Ruixiang Silver Building has no origin, I have already checked. Since they have internal ghosts in Ruixiang Silver Building, they must also know about it. Therefore, Liu Er is not like a spy, like a lone ranger in the green forest. He showed up when Princess Jian'an went to Qi's house, but he was not Princess Jian'an's person. This move seems to be in love with Qi's. Princess Jian'an's carriage and horses were noisy, who knew at first that she was going to fight for her waist, not to find trouble? ”

"Oops!" Jia Cong stood up and said, "A high-roller in the green forest with strong martial arts skills, what did you deliberately pay attention to what an ordinary embroidery lady was doing?" The embroidery lady also has a daughter, and she looks like she is biological. According to the age, the palace maids had not been dismissed when the daughter was born. Nai raised his eyes and looked at everyone, "If it were me, I would guess that this lone ranger in the green forest wearing a straw hat was once the Ouchi guard in the palace." If so, the Qi family will be very valuable. Even the straw hat guests went to the Falcon Bookstore to do business, maybe they asked them to help take care of the Qi family. ”

Chen Ruijin suddenly said: "We seem to have ignored a sentence. ”

"What?"

"Qi Jianhui said to Xue Pan, 'It's not just our family looking for that person'."
