The Tan family is powerful in Zhangzhou after all. {We don't write novels, we're just online text porters, and a few days later, we found the old mullet in a dark kiln on the outskirts of the city and sent it directly to the Jarvis barracks.} When he brought it in, he was so frightened that he couldn't stop shaking. This person doesn't have many strong teeth, and he can scare a few words.

A few days ago, he lost money and found a place where no one was sitting and scolding God for fun. Suddenly, a beautiful woman came to him and tearfully told him that she had been bullied and wanted to die. With such a woman, he only looked at it, and his whole body was soft, where was he willing to let her die? Immediately, he swore to pat his chest, willing to avenge the fairy. The fairy hated him and told him that his enemy was Dong Ming, and later gave him a set of clothes, shoes and socks, twenty taels of silver, and a short knife, saying: "No matter whether the thing is done or not, immediately go away and fly high, and don't come back after leaving Fujian!" ”

Jarvis looked at him for a long time and asked, "Why didn't you run farther?" ”

He lowered his head and said, "I only got twenty taels of silver, and I can't help spending it." I thought, after a while, I went back to the old business, and I must be able to see the fairy again. ”

Jarvis frowned and said, "Twenty taels of silver is enough for a farmer to eat for a year." The old mullet was silent, but his face was full of disdain, as if he couldn't look down on the word "farmer". He asked him what the fairy looked like, but he couldn't make a portrait. This person can't say the eyes, eyebrows, nose and lips, only knows the words "good-looking" and "extremely good-looking".

Dong Ming has been getting better a little in the past few days, and Jarvis told him about it. Dong Ming said: "Like an old mullet, the 'fairy' doesn't recognize it. Someone must have helped the fairy to pick him. ”

Jarvis said, "The less people know about murder, the better." Whoever picks the assassin for her will recognize the old mullet. ”

Nai took the clothes, shoes and socks that the fairy gave to the old mullet, Dong Ming took a look at it and said, "This clothing can't take off the big cloth shops on Dongmen Street." ”

Jarvis hurriedly asked someone to take his clothes and send them to Dongmen Street to ask someone. From time to time, the shopkeeper recognized that this cloth belonged to theirs. It's just that because of the high quality and low price, many people buy it. There are ordinary people, and there are also large families who buy clothes for their subordinates. The soldiers who went to check copied all the big families who bought cloth.

Dong Ming said: "Ordinary people are reluctant to give out twenty taels of silver. He asked the old mullet if he had any friends who had anything to do with them. The old mullet thought for a long time, and counted more than twenty on his fingers, all of which were rough slaves. Jarvis also ordered people to separate up to check on these two dozen people, and there were many people under him. Half a day later, more than two dozen soldiers returned. At this time, Lin Daiyu also came from the camp, and the soldiers returned to the three of them in turn. Speaking of a man named Hu San, who was guarding the North Point Gate of the prefect's house, his cousin turned out to be a character - the personal maid of Miss Tan Wu.

Dong Ming sighed "oops": "Could it be that Tan Wu girl hates me for tricking her?" Then he was a little embarrassed, and said a few rough words about the day when he took a detour to the nunnery to see the excitement.

Jarvis laughed: "I can't avoid it, you still chase after her." ”

Dong Ming said curtly: "I'm just a small official, and I haven't seen the young lady of the prefect's family, so I'm a little curious." ”

Lin Daiyu said: "I'm afraid it's really this five girls." On that day, I saw many girls and grandmothers at Tan's house, but she was the only one who was angry and beat the seven girls in a while. And that incident leaked to outsiders, if it spread, she had only one way to become a nun. ”

Dong Ming said with a bitter face: "If I had known that it was so secret, I wouldn't have asked." ”

Jarvis smiled: "I've heard that curiosity kills cats, and now it's an example" The pro-soldier brothers on the side couldn't help laughing and laughed. Daiyu also covered her mouth and smiled. Dong Ming himself also wanted to laugh a little, because he was afraid that he would collapse his wound, so he didn't dare to hold back.

So he sent someone to Qingyuan Nunnery to ask the sister-in-law there, and the fifth girl Tan could ask them if Dong Ming had it that day. Although Dong Ming never told Miss Tan who she was, she had just given a few dollars in the nunnery. Jarvis drew a small portrait of Miss Tan Wu, mixed it with the other portraits of women and showed it to the old mullet, but he said that it was not one. After a while, the personal soldiers who went to Qingyuan'an came back and said that Miss Tan Wu had really inquired about Dong Ming's identity.

Lin Daiyu thought for a moment, and asked the soldiers who sent them to the nunnery that day to dictate the appearance of the personal maid, and Jarvis painted beside her. After the painting, everyone took a look, and this girl was also beautiful. When he gave it to the old mullet again, he was obviously startled, and immediately shook his head and said loudly, "No! There are no fairies! None of them are as good-looking as fairies! ”

Jarvis nodded slightly: "No." It's just that you hurt your tolerance, and it is inevitable to suffer a lawsuit. ”

The old mullet raised his head: "If you eat a lawsuit, you will eat a lawsuit!" The head has a bowl-sized scar, and twenty years later, he is a good man again! ”

Jarvis said, "That's it, I hope you have a good life in prison and think about it." People can use you as a soldier after just crying for a while, and they are not a hero. ”

The old mullet said: "Then Dong Ming is an old man, and bullying the little girl is considered a good man?" ”

Jarvis said: "Dong Ming is just a young lady who has never seen a big family like you, and he is curious and takes her words." Even if he did not do this, he did not deserve to die. What's more, he saw a young lady, and you saw a maid. But he ignored him, and turned and departed. The old mullet's eyes widened behind him.

After the matter was clear, Jarvis asked Dong Ming how to deal with it. Dong Ming said: "It's because I didn't think about it, I just thought it was a catastrophe." Jarvis nodded. Now that he was wounded, he left behind twenty soldiers, two nurses, and a military doctor to prepare for the army in Quanzhou.

A personal soldier who has been familiar with Dong Ming in the past few days complained: "Mr. Dong didn't succeed in making a knife in vain? ”

Jarvis said: "Lord Dong is a man after all. One is that the five girls are beautiful, and the other is that he himself is not, so he can't bear to investigate. The woman didn't have a good life. When the soldier asked why, he didn't say. Lin Daiyu talked nonsense at Tan's house that day, saying that General Jia was afraid of the military regulations of 'accepting wives before the battle', but in fact he had the heart to marry Miss Tan. Now that the cause of the death of the six girls is clear, there is no such thing as "bad luck". Miss Tan Wu is looking forward to a serious matchmaker in Chengtianfu coming to propose marriage. Not only her, but several masters of the Tan family must also have this thought. Can you endure such an empty day?

Just returned to the camp, the military advisor Lin Daiyu ordered to pack up the camp and start the village, and suddenly a soldier came outside to report: the Tan family sent a generous gift to thank him, and said that the family was busy at home, and Mrs. Tan settled down and came to kowtow to Lin Junshi and General Jia.

Dai Yuqi said: "Thank us for what?" ”

The soldier said: "It was said that the military advisor and the general saved the lives of their men." ”

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and Jarvis asked, "The military advisor saved the man from the Tan family?" ”

Daiyu shook her head: "No." ”

I only heard someone outside "haha" twice: "I saved their men." With that, he walked in.

The crowd was shocked. "Fifth Master!" "Fifth uncle!" The person who came was Jia Huan, who had not been seen for many days.

Jia Yu glanced at Lin Daiyu: "Who said that the fifth uncle didn't take care of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”

Daiyu blushed and muttered in a low voice: "Originally, King Jin didn't know that he wanted to make such a big thing as firearms." ”

Because several of them came to greet each other at the door, Boss Jia unceremoniously walked straight to the top chair, which was Daiyu's position and sat down: "All the princes want to make firearms." What's the use of just wanting to top? ”

Daiyu said: "They have found a lot of maritime merchants who have made Western firearms, and have spent a lot of effort to make other people's iron mines, are they busy without drawings?" ”

Jia Yu waved his hand and said, "You young people, you only found a scale and a half claw, and you thought you could guess why." King Jin sent one of his most powerful juniors, just to sneak around for other people's iron mines? ”

Daiyu and Jarvis looked at each other a few times and asked, "What is the fifth uncle looking for?" ”

Jia Yu coughed twice: "Thirsty." Daiyu glanced at Jarvis, who hurriedly poured him tea. Jia Yu took two bites of tea and said, "They also want iron ore." If it's just for the iron ore, why send Li Qizhi over? It can be done by sending someone else. There is an old craftsman in the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry, named He Laodun. He is timid, he escaped from the capital during the chaos a few years ago, and now all the princes are looking for him. One wall looks for him, and the other wall guards other houses to find him. ”

Daiyu asked, "Is he good at making firearms?" ”

Jia Yu said: "He has in his mind the drawings of various firearms in the Ministry of Industry. Lin Daiyu and Jarvis gasped. The King of Jin found him out of nowhere, and he was in Longyan at this time. Nai took another sip of tea, "His hometown is in Jiangxi, but he ran away from home when he was young. His sister married a passing Longyan merchant. The merchant had no one else in his family, so he took all the Yue family over to provide for him. He Laodun was cheeky and found his brother-in-law's house, only saying that he had been hanging around outside for more than 30 years, and he didn't mention that he was an old craftsman in the Ministry of Industry. It is obvious that he has no intention of fame and fortune, and the king of Jin sent people to invite him, but eighty percent of them could not be invited. ”

Jarvis said: "Therefore, Li Qizhi wants to go to Longyan to please him and hook him out of the mountain to do things for the King of Jin." ”

"Not bad." Jia Yu nodded and said, "The Tan family is the number one family in Longyan. If Li Qizhi goes to Longyan as the son-in-law of the Tan family, he only needs to do some good deeds and punish some bullies in the mine to gain He Laodun's favor. He went to Quanzhou to meet those maritime merchants not to pave the way for selling firearms in Japan, but to buy some firearms from Western countries at a high price, so that He Laodun could study them in the future. ”

"I see." Daiyu asked again, "Didn't you go to Russia to kill their empress?" ”

Jia Yu smiled and said, "Empress Bi is dead, I will come back naturally." The crowd applauded and laughed. Jia Huanai glanced at a few of them, "Passing by Fujian, I heard that you are here, come and take a look." After many days, I didn't even find out what people wanted, so I just guessed. ”

Young people are a little bit ridiculous. Daiyu pouted and hurriedly changed the topic: "Why did the fifth uncle save the men of the Tan family's mansion again?" ”

Jia Yu smiled slightly: "Even if they are lucky, your uncle also wants to take He Laodun away quietly." ”

It turned out that when the two masters of the Tan family returned to the mansion from the Jia military barracks, they first called the maid of the sixth girl to ask once, and then set the words of the seventh girl for half a day, and they knew that what the Lin military master said was true, and he hated it so much. Uncle Tan was more straightforward, so he sued her for Li Qizhi's hookup and killed the six girls and wanted to blame her. That Miss Tan Qi has already been blinded by love, where can she believe it? She couldn't go out by herself, so she wrote a letter and secretly sent it to Li Qizhi.

Li Qizhi is also a person. Although Miss Tan Qi's letter was not clearly written, he knew that he had revealed his stuff after reading it. So he went to Uncle Tan and said that he wanted to marry the seventh girl. Several masters of the Tan family were surprised, and they were afraid that they would make a mistake, so they refused to act rashly. Li Qizhi sent the matchmaker to Tan Mansion to seriously propose marriage, and the seven girls were so happy that they were like dreaming. He also said that he wanted to invite all the brothers-in-law and brother-in-law to have a drink.

The Tan family has been unrestrained in Zhangzhou for many years, and they never thought that anyone would dare to attack them, so they went with a big grin. After three rounds of drinking, there was pain in the abdomen, and he was busy shouting at Xiao Er, but no one paid attention. There was an aunt who was close to the door, struggling to call someone in person, not wanting the door to be locked. Uncle Tan and Second Master Tan looked at Li Qizhi together.

Li Qizhi smiled and said: "Like you, I have also drunk poisoned wine, and I will be poisoned and fall to the ground later." The crowd was in an uproar.

Second Master Tan gritted his teeth and said, "You will never die with us." ”

Li Qizhi said: "It's just that you haven't been saved; I didn't like to drink and didn't eat much, so I was saved. ”

"You ......" A room of men from the Tan family wanted to pounce over and strangle him, but they were so weak that they were in pain.

Li Qizhi sighed: "Poor and huge Tan family, all the men have been killed by unjust ghosts, and only an uncle who has just been decided and has not yet married survived. ”

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a "bang", as if the lock outside the door had fallen to the ground. Someone pushed the door in, and was shocked: "What's the matter?" ”

Uncle Tan shouted, "Hurry up and ask for a doctor!" We are poisoned! The man hurried out. Li Qizhi's face was as pale as dirt.

After the doctor came, the gentlemen were busy with vomiting and detoxification for a long time, and finally remembered the person who had saved them, so they asked him who he was. The man said, "The pawn is General Jarvis's personal soldier. Because General Jia poached Lord Dong of Zhangzhou Mansion, he always felt that he owed Zhangzhou a favor and wanted to try to pay it back. Lin Junshi then said that she saw that this surnamed Li had bad intentions, and several Tan Ye seemed to despise him quite a bit, I was afraid that you would be careless in Jingzhou; Therefore, the pawn secretly stared at this person. If he had done something evil, he had noticed it earlier. When the pawn saw a few people out of nowhere, he quickly knocked out all the subordinates who were guarding outside, and locked the door, so he knew that something was wrong inside. The men locked the door and blew away, so the pawn cut the lock and came to see what was going on. ”

The grandfathers and aunts of the Tan family chanted the Buddha in unison, but few of them thanked this little pawn. This person is naturally Jia Huan. Seeing that the Tan family had come to pick them up, he hugged his fists and said goodbye, saying that he was going back to restore his life, and jumped on the horse and came to the camp.

Jarvis couldn't help but regret: "Li Qizhi was still a good Confucian in his early years, how could he have thought that he would become so ruthless." ”

Daiyu snorted: "It's cheaper for the Tan family's group of scourges, and if you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears." ”

Jia Yu said with a smile: "The Tan family doesn't care about Lao Tzu, they don't care about their sisters, they all care about themselves." Li Qizhi is afraid that it will be difficult to have his life. If he died, the King of Jin would not let go of the Tan family and the Li family. ”

Daiyu thought about it for a while, and said: "It's just that He Laodun, since this plan of King Jin doesn't work, will he simply let someone rob him away?" How is my uncle going to kidnap him? ”

"I don't know." Jia Yu said proudly, "This matter belongs to your aunt." She lost the bet. ”
