Chapter Seventy-Seven: Watched
Chapter Seventy-Seven: Watched
In the inner library of Bofu, Luonan County, one person came out with a sad face, and one person was comfortable. The previous person was naturally Old Man Ni Bai, he was threatened by Xu Qing, and the reason for the threat was naturally the immortal brew that had been cellared for nearly three years in the three hundred jars. The latter person is naturally Xu Qing, and ten thousand taels of silver can be turned into private money, and the joy is naturally overflowing on the surface.
"This matter needs to be done slowly, and I can't let the wife group know the news."
Xu Qing thought about it, and went back to the three gates, but before he stepped into the door, he saw Yang Xin stopping him.
Wumen Ke came to ask Xu Qing to say that Yang Xin had arrived. Xu Qing listened, brought a few people who were eating cattle and graze, and went to meet Yang Xin.
The master and servant met, exchanged a few words, and both said business.
Xu Qing asked: "Before parting, I instructed you to hand over the potatoes to Uncle Zheng and Uncle Xun to choose a secret place to build a greenhouse to cultivate, why are you hiding in the ravine?" Oh, not to blame you......"
Yang Xin arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your understanding, just because after I returned to Luonan, I found something abnormal." ”
Xu Qing sighed and asked, "What is abnormal?" ”
Yang Xin pondered for a while, sorted out his thoughts and said to Xu Qing: "After I return to Luonan, I will go to find a secret place alone, and then I can let Uncle Xun and Uncle Zheng plant, just because they are honest farmers, I am afraid that I will not find a suitable place." ”
Xu Qing nodded and agreed, and Yang Xin continued: "I have been searching for a long time in the mountains around Xuzhuang around Hongshan Town, but I didn't find a secret place, but I found traces of camping on the mountain. Those signs are not the signs of hunters camping, but in my opinion, they are signs of secret organizations such as us camping. I was curious at the time, and I went to Hongshan Town and Luonan County once, and found that ......"
Xu Qing asked suspiciously, "What did you find?" ”
"Someone is secretly investigating, spying on us!"
Xu Qing was shocked when he heard this, someone investigated him, who was it? Why investigate him? Xu Qing has three secrets, one is the matter of the dark river, and the other is the fire. The gun exists against the sky, and one is his identity!
The matter of the dark river, although it is a private soldier, there is a suspicion of rebellion, but there are too many people who raise private soldiers, which of the five surnames and seven families does not raise private soldiers? Minister of the DPRK and China, who does not have any personal armament in his hands? It's not as common as having a kitchen knife at home...... Although Xu Qing is taking the route of dark organization and elite soldiers, it is just a kitchen knife that has been sharpened, and the emperor does not need to be afraid of Xu Qing. Who is that, other officials, I Xu Qing didn't offend anyone!
Could it be fire? The gun is known, this kind of anti-heaven thing, as long as people with a little ambition know its value. Is Old Man Li Yuan interested in this? Or is the one who wants to seize power interested in this? Xu Qing didn't know, but if it was this, it wouldn't hurt to send a low-level arquebus out.
Fire. Guns and dark rivers are just things in the body, just like ten thousand taels of gold in your hand, and there are forbidden items, they are all things that can be washed off. However, what he fears most is that his identity will be revealed. His identity is top secret and knows the fire. There are not a few people with guns and dark rivers, but so far, his identity has not been told to any second person.
But Xu Qing was still afraid, although he didn't tell others, he didn't prevent others from knowing. For example, the Luo Clan's Aunt Witch Mother, she can see that Xu Qing has something called "Lifeless Appearance". Can the witch mother of a little snail clan see that there are countless strange people in my Chinese land, can't you still see it?
Xu Qing was thinking about whether to wear a mask when he went out in the future. With a burst of conjecture in his mind, Xu Qing sighed and asked, "Do you know who sent it?" ”
"Lord, listen to me first...... Yang Cheng said slowly: "After learning that someone was watching here, I didn't let the potatoes in, but built a temporary greenhouse in a nameless valley. Later, I found time to investigate them, but the other party was also a master, and we found out that they were from Chang'an. ”
Xu Qing closed his eyes and thought, it's Chang'an again, and the people who killed Dark River in the past are from Chang'an. Now the person investigating me is also from Chang'an, could it be that it is the same person? Seeing that the dark river was not easy to deal with, he came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary.
"But fortunately, I haven't seen those people in the last few days, and the potatoes are growing well."
Xu Qing finally showed a smile, and he said with a smile: "Go to your greenhouse another day to have a look, by the way, improve the lives of the brothers who guard the potatoes." ”
Yang Xin also smiled and said: "Lord, those boys, life is not good, there is no need to improve." By the way, my lord, I don't need any other skills to plant potatoes, I'm afraid that if you are not careful, you will die ......"
Xu Qing smiled and said, "The potato thing is not like wheat and rice, it has to be planted, it just needs to be thrown into the soil." But remember, don't let him freeze either, and pour some water at the right time, not too much. ”
Yang Xin nodded and agreed, and Xu Qing asked again: "Yang Xin, let me tell you a piece of news, Yang Cheng has already married a wife, and once he marries, he will be two." Telling you this, I just want to ask when you will also take it back? ”
Yang Xin almost jumped up in shock, and said in disbelief: "Yang, Yang Cheng actually has a wife?" Traitor, traitor, we said that we would ask for a wife together, and he actually carried a gun in front! ”
Cattle eat grass Zhang Forestry both nodded, and both persuaded him, Yang Xin, you are also going to marry a wife.
Yang Xin pointed at Zhang Forestry and quipped: "You kid, or a boy*?" And say uncle, me? ”
Zhang Forestry immediately blushed and protested, no, no. After Yang Xin finished speaking, he slammed two punches at a wooden pillar in the house, but unfortunately Yang Cheng was not there, otherwise Yang Xin would really have to sharpen his knife.
However, the brothers are naturally happy when they get married, and Yang Xin also sighed after beating the wooden pillar: "Okay, that wooden fish pimple finally has a home, congratulations, congratulations." ”
There was nothing else important, a few people said some common things again, and Xu Qing talked and laughed about what he saw on the way back. Most of the hour passed, and it was getting late, Xu Qing repeatedly told Yang Xin that the potato was desperate and could not be revealed to others. Also, you should always pay attention to the people coming from Chang'an, and once you find someone watching, you can try to break off one or two teeth of the other party.
Xu Qing always had a feeling in his heart that the person who came to investigate and monitor him this time was not all the way. He also felt that there were "old friends" and new buddies in the people.
No matter what, the soldiers will come to block, the water will cover the earth, and you can't let others do it. If you spy on me, you must also raise your face with sand, otherwise you think the master is a bully! However, I also have to prepare "general" and "soil".
In the evening, Xu Qinghui ate in three doors, and this time, the cow ate grass and a few people finally ate a good meal. After the meal, the maidservant brought hot tea and soup, Xu Qing took a sip, and the old man Ni Bai came with the account book and said:
"Master, this is the income and expenditure of the public industries in the house in recent years. There is also this one, which is a newly added property in the house, and finally this is the family that travels in the house. ”
Xu Qing took the three thick account books and asked, "What is the Jiaoyou family?" ”
Old man Ni Bai replied with his hand: "Oh, the master has risen to the history of assassination, and he has been thickly sealed to the uncle, so there are many families who come to mingle, hoping to get to know the master." This Jiaoyou family has all been seen by Steward Yang Wen, and the strength of the family is strong and weak, but the prestige is all superior,"
Xu Qing nodded, and said in his heart. casually flipped through a few pages, except for the names of Cheng Yanjin, Xu Shiji, Du Ruhui, and Liu Zan written at the beginning, the rest of the families that Xu Qing had never heard of, and most of them were Henan families. Back then, Xu Qing met the eldest brother in Chang'an, and in the final analysis, only Cheng Yanjin, Xu Shiji, Du Ruhui and Liu Zan were really good with him. For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Yang Xin said, and couldn't help but feel a cold in his back.
After all, people are animals, and when danger comes, they like to huddle together for warmth, pull circles, and find relationships. Even if there is no danger, it is more secure to find someone in the same "circle". For example, when several people who are completely strangers to each other get together, those who are close to their hometowns will inevitably be able to talk a little, and those who do the same line of work will also be able to talk a little.
Xu Qing was thinking, if he suffered a catastrophe, who would he be with for warmth?
Except for the first four families who will speak for him, the rest of the families will probably avoid him, right? Especially those big brothers recognized by Chang'an, it is good if they don't fall into the ground.
As a result, Xu Qing wanted to connect with the big families.
There are generally two kinds of unions, one is marriage, and the other is association. Marriage is impossible, Xu Qing has no suitable daughter and son, and he himself has no happiness to accept the daughters of major families. Therefore, there is only the law of Lianye, which is to cooperate in setting up factories. Marriage can be held together because of the method of "even sitting", a family, you can't hold a group, unless you are willing to risk the family honor to the end to abandon the car to protect the handsome.
Lianye is similar, although it is not as affectionate as a family, but if someone uproots Xu Qing, the people of Lianye will definitely not be able to get out of it.
Xu Qing remembered again that the change that would need to stand in line in the future was nothing more than a change in Zhenguan. There are three teams of people, one team is the old man Li Yuan, the first team is Li San Li Shimin, and the other team is the old prince Li Jiancheng. Xu Qing has the advantage of predicting the future, so he can take sides according to history, die to Li Shimin, and build a good relationship with all of Li Shimin's friendly families. Li Shimin, the emperor, is not bad, eloquent and strategic, and can humbly accept advice, and the story of his and Wei Zheng's friends has been passed down through the ages.
But Xu Qing was not at ease, when he was in Liaodong before, Dou Liweng told him that the mastermind behind the killing of Dark River was Li Shimin. Although he didn't believe it completely, and he didn't know where he had offended Li Shimin, he still had a mustard in his heart. In addition, the old man Li Yuan was really good to him, and Li Shimin was not very good to the old man after he ascended the throne, and when he heard that he was poisoned in the end, Xu Qingcong felt a little unbearable.
Also, the family that is friendly with Li Shimin may not be the same as in history. For example, Cheng Yanjin and Xiao Yu, these two are both the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and Cheng Yanjin is even a general of Li Shimin's family, but they are the henchmen of the old man Li Yuan.
Xu Qing flipped through the previous account books of industrial income and new industries, but those long data could not arouse his excitement at all. Money is something outside the body, and where can it really move people's hearts, but money can satisfy people's desires.
"Huh? Shangluo Paper Mill, this is also our family? ”
