"Noise! What the hell are you howling about? Li Jie stared at the old bustard with angry eyes.

"Your Highness, she... She's not Chunjiao! The old bustard was surprised, and then cried with joy, since this corpse is not her top brand Chunjiao, it means that Chunjiao may not be dead, and it can also bring her a lot of profits.

But Li Jie shook his head and said, "Isn't this the woman who served this king just now?" How can this be wrong! You old bustard Hugh must deceive this king again. ”

"No, no. Your Highness, this is really not Chunjiao, I don't believe you can ask anyone in the Spring Festival Courtyard to come and identify it, and... And also... The second son of Liujiabuzhuang in the east of the city is a frequent visitor to our Chunjiao, and you can also let him recognize him. ”

This made Li Jie feel more and more that this matter was not simple, frowned slightly, and then said to Sun Qiu, who was standing aside: "Go to the Spring Festival Courtyard and bring someone over, and go to Liujiabuzhuang in the east of the city, and ask Liu Ergongzi to come over and cooperate with the investigation!" ”

"Yes!"

After Sun Qiu left, the old bustard trilled and grabbed the corner of Li Jie's clothes and said excitedly: "Your Highness, you will definitely help me find our Chunjiao... She didn't die... Nope..."

Li Jie's brows furrowed, and a soldier beside him, seeing this, immediately pulled the old bustard away and threw it heavily on the ground, scolding: "Stay away from Your Highness." ”

The old bustard, who fell to the ground, suddenly cried into tears, wiping his snot and crying on the side.

Seeing this, Li Jie was distraught, and gave a color to the soldier next to him, who took out a piece of pale yellow linen cloth covered with filth out of nowhere, and then viciously stuffed it into the old bustard's mouth, and muttered: "Let you hum..."

Finally quieted down, and then Li Jie ordered someone to bring a chair, sat down steadily, closed his eyes and pondered the ins and outs of this matter.

......

And at this moment, Li Zhi, who is far away in Suxi Province, is busy with something in the Casting Bureau.

In a remote room within the huge high walls of the Foundry Bureau, Li Zhizheng stood on a podium made of a few blue bricks, explaining what to the young and shrewd craftsmen in the audience.

On this day, after getting up in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Li Zhi came to the Casting Bureau to teach.

There were more than a dozen young people sitting in the entire classroom, and they were all young craftsmen who had been screened by Li Jiujiang and Zhao Jiujiang in the Casting Bureau a few days ago, with strong hands-on ability, quick thinking, and shrewdness.

These craftsmen are all young people in their twenties, and they have good brain and hands-on skills, which will also be the foundation of the chemistry laboratory.

After screening out these young people, Li Zhi also asked Zhao Jiujiang to find a teacher to teach everyone literacy and hyphenation for a period of time.

Literacy is an extremely luxurious thing in this era, and most people have never had such an opportunity in their lives, so when they began to contact literacy, they all held an attitude of gratitude, and secretly vowed to study hard and serve His Highness.

After a period of study, the effect is already good, and he can basically understand and master more than 1,000 words.

Therefore, these young people are called here today in order to teach him the basics of chemistry, and he wants to set up a chemistry laboratory, and all the experimental equipment needed for the chemistry laboratory has been produced, and everything is only needed for talents.

In the morning, Li Zhi mainly explained the future teaching content to the craftsmen, and then briefly taught them some basic chemical symbols, and then simply summarized the periodic table to everyone.

......

After a while, Sun Qiu led the two to the backyard of the yamen.

"Your Highness, someone brought it."

The two of them are a man and a woman, and the man is naturally the second son of Liujiabuzhuang in the east of the city, and this woman is the singer brought by Sun Qiu to the Spring Festival Courtyard, listening to the Spring Festival Courtyard Miscellaneous Servants, this singer has a good relationship with Chunjiao on weekdays, so he brought her.

The two of them trembled, a little scared, who had ever seen such a battle on weekdays, there were soldiers standing around them who were fully armed and armed with weapons, and then there was a corpse in front of them, which made this already cold winter even more chilly.

Both of them didn't dare to make a sound, so they had to stand quietly and wait.

The singer casually glanced at it, and saw that the old bustard not far away was sitting on the ground in a mess, with a ball of sackcloth stuffed in his mouth, as if he had been kidnapped. At this time, the singer was even more afraid.

After a while, Li Jie slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the two of them, and said lightly: "You two stepped forward to take a look, do you know this corpse?" ”

The two of them were frightened when they heard this, this corpse looked scary enough, and they couldn't look at it at all, so they had no choice but to keep silent and not see it.

Li Jie glanced at his eyebrows slightly, a little displeased, Sun Qiu reminded the two of them when he saw this: "Are you two deaf?" Didn't you hear His Highness's orders? If you're deaf, I'll make you both like this corpse!" ”

The hearts of the two of them were tight, no one knew that this King Qi was cruel, so they had no choice but to endure their fear, take difficult steps, and walk forward, but they were so frightened that they closed their eyes before they got close, but when they thought that if they didn't cooperate, they would end up like the corpse in front of them, so they had no choice but to open their eyes and look at this corpse.

Carefully distinguishing the appearance of this corpse, the two shook their heads and said, "I don't know..."

"Don't recognize?" Li Jie stood up and asked.

Seeing His Highness personally questioning, the two said in a trembling voice: "Go back to Your Highness, I don't know." ”

After getting the answers from the two, Li Jie's expression became more and more solemn, and he said to himself: "Then who is the woman just now?" Oh, it's getting more and more interesting. ”

"Okay, Sun Qiu, you let everyone go back," Li Jie waved his hand and said lightly.

"Yes!" Then, Sun Qiu pulled up the old bustard who was sitting on the ground, pulled out the linen cloth in his mouth and threw it on the ground, only to see the old bustard suddenly shouted, "Your Highness, I'll just say it, this is not Chunjiao... Chunjiao is not dead... No.."

Li Jie, who was the most annoying and noisy, couldn't stand the noise, waved his hand at Sun Qiu and said, "Throw it out!" ”

The old bustard was like an alarmed old hen, and shouted loudly, "Your Highness, no. . . I'll walk on my own.. Go on your own .."

The second son of the Liu family and the singer were relieved, and they couldn't wait to leave this place immediately, and as soon as Li Jie's voice fell, the two ran out like ghosts.

After a few people left, Li Jie said lightly to Gao Liang: "Bury this person!" ”

Before Gao Liang could speak, Li Jie said again: "Lord Gao, this king orders you to find Chunjiao, the top brand of the Spring Festival Courtyard, within five days, to see people alive and corpses to die!" ”

"This..."Gao Liang was stunned for a moment, but he had no choice but to come down, and said in a loud voice: "Obey!" ”

"Alright, go home!" Li Jielang said.

......

On the way back to the Qi Palace, Li Jie closed his eyes slightly, thinking about something, and suddenly the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "This king wants to see who is calculating this king!" ”
