Tokhtar stood up and continued:

"The prime minister will go to court tomorrow and discuss this matter with the saint again. I have more business to attend to tonight, so I won't leave you to eat. You go back and work harder, on the project money that has been in place this time, it is necessary to do what can be done now, and formulate a detailed and feasible construction plan as soon as possible, and I will notify you as soon as it is settled.

In addition, in Yuncheng, Jining Road, the capital water supervisor can be replaced, and together with Henan Road, it is under the unified command of Lord Jia. In this way, it is convenient to exercise greater power and mobilize more personnel and equipment when constructing in Henan and Shandong at the same time. ”

Back at the post house, Jia Lu discussed with Qi Kun and felt that it was better to rush back to Bianliang first, after all, all the detailed data and construction drawings were left in the province. When you go back, you can consult with the officials and work out a detailed and feasible plan.

The three of them simply ate a little, and they had no intention of staying in Beijing, so they rushed back in the starry night.

The next day, Jia Mingyu hurriedly ran to deliver a letter to Qi Kun, saying that it was sent by a young man with eyes like an eagle, and only said that he would please hand it over to Mr. Qi Kun, and then left.

Qi Kun knew that it must be Feng Qingyun, and saw that the envelope was written "Mr. Qi Kun Jun Qi", but there were only five words in the letter, "There is something important to discuss".

Qi Kun took a day off from Jialu, and then went straight to the north to divide the rudder.

Fang Tianqi and Feng Qingyun heard a report from the brothers outside, saying that Ziwei had arrived, and they were busy going out to greet each other.

"Greetings to the Ziwei envoy, the holy aunt has come to Bianliang last night, saying that there is something important to discuss with the Ziwei envoy, we don't know when you will return from the capital, so let Seiya rush to the province to deliver the letter."

Fang Tianqi said.

"With the Labor Banner Master and Seiya, what's the important thing?"

Qi Kun asked as he walked.

"The Holy Aunt didn't say anything specific, she only explained that after the Ziwei envoy came, she told you in person."

Fang Tianqi asked Qi Kun to sit down and drink tea first, and let Feng Qingyun quickly invite the Holy Aunt to come to the hall.

After a while, I saw Cao Linjiao and the girl in white named Xue'er coming to the hall.

"Lin Jiao has seen Ziwei Envoy, I heard that you went to the capital, and I was worried that I wouldn't see you so soon."

Cao Linjiao arched her hand and said.

"Oh, Holy Auntie, please take a seat. Jia Lu and I went to Beijing the day before yesterday to meet with Prime Minister Totokh to discuss the construction plan and the plan for the implementation of funds for the river control project.

Is there something important about the Holy Aunt's visit this time? ”

Lin Jiao sat down and said:

"Back to Ziwei envoy, the day before yesterday I received a letter from the master of Fang Qi Feige, my father knew that you must be very important when you went to the capital, and after discussing with Liu Ji and Lei Ming, I was going to look for you, and it just so happened that I also had something important to report to Ziwei envoy, so my father wrote a secret letter and asked me to take it and hand it over to you."

She took out the letter and handed it to Qi Kun, and said in a low voice:

"Didn't you already say last time that you would no longer call Shenggu like that to outsiders, why are you still like this?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I know I'm wrong."

Qi Kun took it with a smile and opened the letter.

The letter states:

After Liu Futong returned to Yingzhou, Rulin, he sold his ancestral property with his father and clansmen and raised nearly 200,000 ingots of silver. At the same time, together with Han Shantong of the White Lotus Sect, he organized disaster relief and soup distribution, and took the opportunity to gather more than 3,000 young and strong laborers, waiting to obey the dispatch of Ziwei envoys.

Zhang Dingbian also sent news, and together with his brothers-in-law Chen Youliang and Zhang Bixian, they organized more than 2,000 people, mainly poor fishermen and peasants, to support the river control project.

After reading the secret report, Qi Kun was very happy and thanked Lin Jiao:

"Thank you to Lord Cao Bao and Miss Linjiao, thank you Futong and Dingbian brothers, so fast and efficient, why worry about the great cause! In a few days, I will inform you as soon as the plan is decided. ”

When Lin Jiao heard that Qi Kun had changed her name, she was secretly happy in her heart, and said loudly:

"Cao Jiabao and the more than 20,000 brothers of each rudder are also ready, ready to be dispatched by Ziwei at any time."

Qi Kun thanked Lin Jiao and Fang Qi Master, Feng Qingyun and the others again, and then turned to Lin Jiao and asked:

"I heard Miss Linjiao say that there is something important to tell me just now, what is the matter?"

Cao Linjiao lowered her eyes and muttered for a moment, and said:

"Ziwei envoy, please come with me."

She instructed Xue'er, Fang Tianqi and the others to wait in the hall, and then invited Qi Kun to come to the secret room.

After the two sat down, Lin Jiao whispered:

"After Ziwei left that day, I couldn't sleep all day because the mystery of "Wu Mu's Testament" was unsolved, holding the book at night, and thinking about the murder of my deceased parents, I couldn't help but cry sadly, and I didn't know that a tear dropped on the page.

After a long time, I found that there seemed to be two more words on the page, and I began to look in a trance and thought that I had mistaken my tears, but after careful inspection, I found that there was a text written in secret between the lines, which was only revealed after being soaked in water. Then I dipped in water and tried to brush down, and between each line there were words slowly revealed, and after reading the contents of these secret writings, I gradually understood the secret that the ancestors protected with their lives and blood. ”

Lin Jiao leaned forward and said in a low voice:

"Later, after I told my father, he asked me not to tell anyone else, I could only come over and report to Ziwei Envoy alone, and what to do next is all up to you."

Qi Kun quietly listened to Linjiao's narration.

It turned out that before Song Huizong was taken away by the Jin soldiers, he saw the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty and the crisis in the capital, and had already secretly sent people to search for the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace, and for more than 300 years, the kings of the Great Song Dynasty sent people to search for a large number of treasures of the previous dynasties, and transported them to eight different places in the west and south in batches to hide, so as to make a comeback in the future.

Later, the captive Emperor Hui and Emperor Qin secretly sent someone to contact Yue Fei to rescue him, promising him to be a high-ranking official, but he was worried that it would be difficult for Yue Fei to make him wholeheartedly, so he could only tell Yue Fei about the hidden treasures, so that he could be loyal to the two saints. The messenger also informed that this matter must not be spread outside, and that the previous eight groups of people who were responsible for transporting the buried treasures had all been wiped out when they returned to the capital to resume their lives, and even Zhao Go, the emperor who later ascended the throne, did not know about it.

Yue Wumu was bent on saving the country and the nation, and did not want to be entangled in the palace and harm the people. He secretly organized twenty-four henchmen and established a "one" alliance, which was sent to eight treasure places to explore and be responsible for guarding.

Before being recalled to the capital by the Twelve Gold Medals, Yue Fei handed over the secret letter and treasure map to his fourth son, Yue Zhen, and let him collect it. He also told that for the sake of the country and the nation, it must not be leaked, and the huge treasures can only be used for national rejuvenation and the salvation of the common people in the world, and must not be used for corrupt dynasties to misrepresent the people. The descendants of the Yue family and the members of the "One" must swear to keep and defend this secret from generation to generation.

Qi Kun was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised with great gratitude:

"I thank Miss Lin Jiao for the common people in the world, thank Yue Wumu and the heroes of the Yue family, and thank Lord Cao Bao and all the heroes in one. This time, there is hope for river control and disaster relief, and there is hope for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation! ”

Seeing Qi Kun so happy, Lin Jiao also smiled comfortably, and she said:

"Thank you for not needing, we can follow Ziwei and do something beneficial to the nation, and this life is not in vain. What's next for you? What should we do? Please also ask Ziwei to command. ”

Qi Kun pondered for a while and asked:

"May I ask Miss Linjiao, where are the eight places where the treasure is hidden? What is the approximate amount? ”

"According to a picture scroll that my father later handed to me, the eight places are all in the direction of Bianjing to the west and south, and the nearest one should be near Dengfeng County at the southern foot of Songshan Mountain, and the specific amount is not described." Lin Jiao replied.

Qi Kun pondered for a long time and raised his eyes to look at Lin Jiao:

"Now Jia Lu and the officials of various provinces are organizing a detailed construction plan, which is estimated to take five or six days, and I am sure that he will finally come to me to agree, and then invite me to go to Beijing to report to Tokhtar. So, in five days, we can go on a treasure hunt nearby. Let's go to Songshan first, we must find out some clues as soon as possible, so that we can come back and make plans for the next step. ”

After thinking for a moment, he continued:

"Without further ado, Miss Linjiao will tell you the story to-day, and seek your father's advice. I immediately rushed back to the province and cooperated with Jia Lu to hurry up and formulate an outline of the construction plan. Then, we tentatively meet here tomorrow morning, and discuss it again, how about leaving for Dengfeng after lunch? ”

"Okay, follow the instructions of the Ziwei envoy, we'll see you tomorrow!"

Lin Jiao happily replied that she hadn't been so happy in a long time.

The next day, Qi Kun handed over the "Outline of the River Control Project Plan" that he had prepared overnight to Jialu. Among them, there are some contents that have been improved according to the more advanced river control construction concepts and methods of later generations, as well as suggestions and remarks that can improve construction efficiency, as well as calculation data for comparison of climate, flood volume, dam masonry, etc.

Jia Lu was overjoyed when he saw it, and praised it repeatedly:

"Mr. Qi Kun is erudite, talented, and wise, and he is really a god!"

"Master Jia praised it falsely, I just hope to provide you with a reference framework.

In addition, I have a close friend, born in a wealthy family, and the money currently prepared by the imperial court is far from enough, so I want to rush to talk to him now, and strive to raise as much silver taels as possible for river relief efforts, and it is estimated that it will take four or five days to go back and forth, so I specially ask Lord Jia for five days off. ”

Qi Kun said.

When Jia Lu heard Qi Kun say this, he didn't know how to reply for a while, and he was so admired and grateful.

He not only helped to solve the construction plan and formulated the outline, but also realized the biggest worry in his heart, and took the initiative to worry about helping to raise funds for the project.

Jia Lu hurriedly led all the officials, and sent them to the gate of the province for the first time, and said respectfully:

"The old man wishes Mr. Qi Kun smooth sailing and success."

Qi Kun got out of the provincial yamen and went straight back to Jiafu.

In this world, I had very few belongings, so I quickly packed my bags. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Jia, he went straight to the north to divide the rudder.
