Chapter 1 Sweep the floor
Twelve years of Zhenguan.
Wing Country Mansion.
In the quiet backyard, a silver magpie tree is swaying in the wind, sprinkling mottled spots.
Under the tree, Qin Huaidao wore a white practice uniform, with a tiger head and a tiger in his hand, fierce as a dragon out of a hole, roaring into the sky, soft as a giant python coiled body, turning freely, fast as thunder rolling, piercing out a white air wave, slow as a needle and thread, seeing the true chapter in the subtleties, and the steps under his feet are like flowing water, fluttering like a butterfly.
Three days ago, Qin Huaidao was ordered to lead a team to attack a drug lord base in the Golden Triangle, and when he completed the task and evacuated, he was chased and killed by a third-party force.
After absorbing the memory, Qin Huaidao found that the original owner was only fourteen years old, but he was one meter seven tall, his body was strong and powerful, and he was as masculine and handsome as himself in his previous life.
Not long after Qin Qiong's death, someone plotted against his son-in-law, which made Qin Huaidao extremely vigilant.
In the past three days, he has concentrated on practicing the marksmanship and mace of the original owner's family during the day, and is familiar with this body, and at night he reads Qin Qiong's military book with the lamp, while secretly observing, carefully dealing with the people in the house, relying on the memory of the original owner, but he has not revealed any flaws.
I don't know if it's the welfare of crossing, the strength is increasing every day, far beyond the original owner.
The tiger's head gun was like a dragon, rolling up gusts of wind and buzzing.
"Drink!"
With a clear drink, the tiger head gun pierced the thick wooden stake that the two of them were hugging, and the wooden stake exploded in half.
"Young master! Young Lord! ”
Almost at the same time, a pleasant voice came.
Immediately afterwards, a girl ran happily, bright eyes and bright teeth, a green lotus pattern Confucian skirt will show Miaoman's posture vividly, green and elegant, smart, just like the budding noon lotus, a pair of eyes are even more fluttering, fluttering, as if speaking.
Seeing the exploded wooden stake, the girl shouted in surprise: "Ah, the young master is so powerful!" ”
Qin Huaidao also looked at the exploded stake, on the first day, only a small half of the spear head was pierced into it, and on the second day, most of it was pierced in, and now it was actually pierced in its entirety, and it shook the wooden stake open, this force - so big!
"Young master, the housekeeper asks to see you!" The girl added sweetly.
Qin Huaidao put away the gun and stood up, his breath was long, his tense muscles relaxed, and he was inexplicably excited to look at the girl, and his personal maid He'er, who sold herself at the age of six, took care of the daily life of the original owner, according to the Tang Dynasty etiquette system, she was also a maid in the future, but in her early years, she was already as beautiful as an elf, and if she was older, she might bring disaster to the country and the people.
"Let's go!"
Qin Huaidao put the tiger head gun next to him, picked up a cloth towel to wipe his sweat a few times, threw it on the wooden frame, and walked towards the front yard, while explaining: "He'er, let people prepare hot water."
"Whoa!" He'er said yes and followed.
When I came to the front yard, I saw a middle-aged man waiting anxiously, dressed plainly, with an empty arm, but his eyes were extraordinarily powerful, it was the housekeeper Jia Youcai, Qin Qiong's pro-battalion commander, loyal, brave and good at fighting, and his arm blocked the knife for Qin Qiong.
Being a soldier made Qin Huaidao have a good impression of the loyal and commendable housekeeper, and walked up a few steps quickly, while asking, "Uncle Jia, do you have something to do with me?" ”
Jia Youcai's face darkened, and he stopped talking.
Qin Huaidao was proficient in micro-expression observation and knew that the matter was not small, so he asked bluntly: "Uncle Jia, has the murderer found out?" To put it bluntly, although I am young, I am not afraid of things. ”
Jia Youcai then said: "There is news from the government that the murderer was found outside the city and has been killed, and he can't find any identity. ”
"Do you believe that?" Qin Huaidao's eyes were cold and he asked.
"He who does not believe."
"Who do you suspect?"
"The Wang family!"
Qin Huaidao's eyes suddenly narrowed into a dangerous needle-shaped, according to the memory of the original owner, Datang has five surnames and seven wangs, namely Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, Taiyuan Wang, the status is extremely noble, monopolizing the land, economy, culture, public opinion and officialdom of Datang, acting domineering and perverse, Li Er does not give face.
A century-old emperor, a thousand-year-old family.
The five surnames and seven hopes have been in the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, and they are natural opponents with the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, is it because of Qin Qiong's death, he has become a soft persimmon, and the gate valve family killed the chicken that Li Er, the monkey? Qin Huaidao asked in a low voice, "Uncle Jia, why do you suspect the Wang family?" ”
"Chang'an County Ling's surname is Wang, Taiyuan Wang's branch was born, there is a suspicion of harboring the murderer, however, there is no evidence, just speculation, can not be done accurately, in addition, the old decay has been to see the corpse, all of them have a tiger's mouth calloon, and the knuckles also have a thick layer of cocoons, caused by long-term martial arts practice, there are only two kinds of people, a sergeant, a dead soldier, the sergeant is registered, it is impossible not to find it, it must be a dead soldier, and the Wang family is not short of dead soldiers."
Qin Huaidao nodded knowingly, and after a moment of silence, he explained: "Uncle Jia, there is no need to make a noise about this matter, secretly investigate, the person behind it will definitely strike again when he sees the assassination failure, and release the news to the outside world, just say that the serious injury has not healed, and he will not see any guests, by the way, is there any news from the saint?" ”
Jia Youcai shook his head.
Qin Huaidao understood, and said coldly: "Not long after my father died, I was so alone that I went to tea and cooled down. ”
"I heard that the holy inspection has not returned, and I don't know whether it is true or false, but the Taiyuan royal family is powerful, and the holy lord has to be afraid of a little, but he sent the imperial doctor, and the old man refused on the grounds of rest according to the instructions of the young master, and the other party went back to resume his life after a few perfunctory words, but ......" Jia Youcai wanted to speak and stopped.
"But what?"
"Young master, the grandfather of the country followed the saint to conquer the world, and there was a lot of blood on his hands, especially the hidden prince, the old Sui party and the family of the gate lord, these people have no grievances in their hearts, and they dare not directly target the saint, the grandfather of the country has just left, the young lord has naturally become the first choice, and he needs to act cautiously in the future, and there is that there is not much money left in the house, and I am afraid that he will not be able to conduct a secret investigation, and the slaves, family members and guards in the house are assembled in the outer courtyard, ready to resign, in order to reduce the cost of the house."
Qin Huaidao understood as soon as he heard it, Qin Qiong is Li Er's safflower double stick, one of the most capable boys, destroying the old Sui, the change of Xuanwumen, and the great achievements, but in the eyes of the losers Hidden Princeling Party and the Old Sui Party, a proper accomplice, once he loses power, who will he not rectify himself?
After pondering for a moment, Qin Huaidao asked, "How many silver taels are there in the house?" ”
"About 1,000 taels, the monthly expenditure of the government is more than 200 taels, and it can support half a year."
Qin Huaidao didn't expect that the huge Guogong Mansion was almost empty, and asked, "There is no entry in the mansion?" ”
"The house is all dependent on the country's grandfather and the reward of silver, barely enough, now the grandfather of the country is not there, how long can the country be able to maintain it is unknown, but there are 2,000 acres of fiefdom, 500 households, all of them are the brothers who followed the grandfather of the country, the grandfather of the country is kind-hearted, only 20% of the rent is collected to maintain the use of the house, this year's drought, the production is reduced by about 30%, and the rent is ...... can not be paid" said this, Jia Youcai's face was gloomy, revealing helplessness.
There is no income, and there is no rent, which means that there is no income, and it is the best way to open up sources and reduce expenditure, but Qin Huaidao is a soldier and empathizes, how can he abandon the soldiers who have shed blood? What's more, the old brother who lived and died with Qin Qiong immediately said: "How can the Qin Mansion be unrighteous and do chilling things, go, take a look." ”
"But?"
Jia Youcai wanted to say something, seeing that Qin Huaidao had already left, his heart warmed, and he hurriedly followed, if it was possible, Jia Youcai didn't want the old brother to leave, but when he thought of the embarrassment in the house, his heart tightened.
