Chapter 69: The Assassination of the King of Dongping (Three Watches)
"Girl, he is the account office recommended by the broker, named Han Qizong."
Yan Sui bowed and stood beside Yan Yunge.
Yan Yunge looked at Han Qizong, and his first impression was that he was thin, with a sallow face, and he looked like a down-and-out scholar.
Han Qizong was also secretly looking at Yan Yunge, panicking.
The scale of this wasteland is huge, and the person in charge is actually a little girl?
It's over, it's over!
It must be a wealthy family that finds something to do for its daughter, exercises its housekeeping ability, and buys a piece of wasteland for her to toss casually.
How can a little girl do things for a long time.
In less than half a year, this land will go bankrupt.
At that time, his reputation as a "master" can no longer be washed away, and he has no hope of turning over.
Han Qizong felt hopeless.
God is cutting out his life!
He froze in place, his mind tumbling, in a dilemma.
Yan Yunge laughed, and wrote, "I heard that you are very good at arithmetic? β
Only then did Han Qizong know that the little girl in front of him couldn't speak.
He nodded, neither humble nor arrogant, "General accounts can be calculated." β
Since he is good at arithmetic, Yan Yunge simply asked him to test.
The topic is simple, common chickens and rabbits are in the same cage, and the water enters and exits......
She threw the written question to the table and motioned for Han Qizong to answer the question.
Han Qizong hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to answer the question.
Hey?
This topic is fresh!
No one had ever asked questions like this before.
But it couldn't stop him.
He picked up his brush and brushed to write, immersed in it.
It can be seen that he really likes arithmetic.
Finish the math and hand in the answer.
Yan Yunge glanced at the answering process, and sure enough, there were two brushes.
She continued to write questions, all ready-made subjects.
From building houses, to ploughing cattle distribution, to ration seeds......
The same test is a problem encountered in the wilderness.
Han Qizong answered the questions one by one.
is worthy of being a county school student who is famous for arithmetic, his head is very useful, and the calculation is fast and accurate.
Yan Yunge made a decision on the spot, and it was him!
Yan Sui was a little worried, and whispered: "Girl, he is the master!" β
Yan Yunge laughed and said, "What are you afraid of! This one is better than all of you in arithmetic, and he is used by five people alone. As for the master, this girl's life is hard, and he can't move. β
Yan Sui twitched her eyebrows, the girl is good at everything, but she doesn't pay attention to what she says.
He raised his head and said to Han Qizong: "After the assessment, you are basically qualified for the position of the bookkeeper of Fugui Villa. The salary is two times a month, including food and housing, and three meals a day. Two days off in January. Would you like to? β
Han Qizong's mood was loose and tight.
In fact, when Yan Yunge asked him to do the question, he decided that if the other party was willing to ask him, he would stay.
Even if it goes bankrupt half a year later, he doesn't regret being cornered.
It's just that he has one condition.
"If you stay here to do the accounting room, can the owner continue to do the questions for me?" He said cautiously.
His conditions are such a unique style, he does not need money, as long as he has a large number of arithmetic problems to do, he is satisfied.
Hey!
Yan Yunge laughed when he heard his conditions.
This down-and-out scholar named Han Qizong is really a strange skeleton, and his requirements are so different.
Yan Yunge gestured his fingers and instructed Yan Sui, "Tell him to do an arithmetic problem for him in March." However, this girl also has conditions, he must start a class to teach, teach arithmetic, and by the way, enlighten the guys and teach everyone to read. There are not many students, just one or two dozen with outstanding qualifications. The salary was raised to five dollars a month. β
Yan Sui nodded and said to Han Qizong: "You ask for a lot, you dare to ask my girl to be a coolie, and give you a topic to do, and you don't look at how many catties and taels you have." β
Han Qizong looked panicked, thinking to himself that it was over, it was over! The errand of the January two runs is gone.
Unexpectedly, Yan Sui's tone suddenly changed, "But my girl is generous and doesn't care about you." You want arithmetic problems, it's not impossible. You are not entitled to those valuable questions just by doing your bookkeeping errands. β
"Whatever you want me to do, just as I am told!" Han Qizong is very good.
Yan Sui said with a straight face, "You have also seen that this place is deserted, so poor that there is not even a village or town, and you have to walk dozens of miles to buy and sell things. Everyone is on an errand here, and it's not easy to go out. If you are willing to take on the responsibility of enlightening the boys, teaching them basic arithmetic, and making sure that everyone can know a thousand words, my girl will give you arithmetic problems, one for three months, and one book must have at least ......."
Speaking of this, Yan Sui secretly glanced at Yan Yunge.
Yan Yunge stretched out three fingers under the table.
Maybe it was the table that blocked it, Yan Sui saw that it was wrong, and he blurted out, "...... Twenty arithmetic problems. Would you like to? β
"Yes, I do!"
Han Qizong hurriedly agreed, for fear that if it was too late, the other party would change his hexagram.
Don't say 20 questions in three months, even if there are only 10 questions or 5 questions, he is happy.
Yan Sui let out a "hmm" with a serious face, "I have to remind you that since you have undertaken the teaching task, you have to teach with your heart, not perfunctory." The errands of the bookkeeper shall not be delayed. My girl is generous, if you do both errands well, your salary will be raised to five times a month. Remember, you have to do your errands well to get that much money. If you fail my girl's weight, I don't mind completely ruining you, so that you are worse off than dead. β
Han Qizong trembled, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the student will not dare to live up to the high expectations of the owner, and he will definitely work hard." β
He can see that the family behind Fugui Villa is definitely stronger than the local wealthy family he took refuge in.
When he enters Nirvana to do things, as long as he works well, does it mean that he also has the opportunity to hug his thighs and have a promising career?
Boom......
Han Qizong is excited!
The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, but I didn't expect another village.
Heaven is not endless!
The matter is negotiated, and the next step is to go through various procedures.
After the matter was dealt with, Yan Yunge was ready to go to the mountain to have a look.
Counting the riders, galloping on horseback, they came straight to the rich mountain villa, and raised the dust.
The distance is close, and the person who recognizes it is the guard in the house.
Yan Yunge's heart suddenly changed, could it be that something had happened in the capital.
"Appeal ......"
The galloping horse, being held on the reins, was parked at the gate of the villa.
The guards dismounted and bowed, "The subordinates are instructed by the county lord to ask the four girls to return to Beijing immediately." King Dongping was assassinated! β
What the?
The assassination of the king of Dongping?
Ah Bei asked out loud for Yan Yunge: "King Dongping was assassinated, when did it happen?" β
The guard said, "It was late at night the day before yesterday. β
"What's the situation in the capital now?"
"The capital is under martial law, search for assassins! King Dongping was seriously injured and his life was on the verge of death. Your Majesty is furious...... The follow-up situation is not clear, please forgive the girl. β
Yan Yunge immediately instructed Ah Bei to pack his luggage, prepare the carriage, and set off for Beijing.
Of the 200 miles of the road, only 150 miles are official roads, and the rest of the roads are rugged mountain roads.
The only good thing is that the weather is clear, there is no rain, and the road surface is dry.
After two days of travel, I finally rushed back to the capital.
People are so tired that they fall apart.
But Yan Yunge didn't have time to rest, got out of the carriage, and hurried to the study to meet his mother Xiao.
'Mother, how are things?' β
Xiao Shi was also relieved when he saw Yan Yunge. Motioned to her not to worry, sit down and drink saliva first.
"I've been in a hurry for the past two days, I'm tired!"
Yan Yunge put down the teacup and gestured with his hands, "My daughter is not tired!" β
Xiao Shi smiled, "When you set the address of the wasteland in Yuan County, Qi County, I still think it is very suitable. Now it seems that it is farther away, and the road is not smooth. β
Yan Yunge observed her mother Xiao's reaction, not in a hurry!
So things weren't as serious as she thought.
She bluntly asked, 'Is King Dongping dead?' β
Xiao shook his head, "There is no news of death, obviously I can't die." As for the severity of the injury, or whether there was any injury, it is impossible to find out at this time. On the contrary, in the palace, His Majesty dismissed several officials in one go, and ordered the general of the Northern Army to lead the troops to garrison at the pass, leaving only three battalions of the Northern Army to defend the capital. β
The Northern Army had 30,000 men and was fully staffed.
Divided into six battalions.
Leaving three battalions to defend the capital, that is to say, the general of the Northern Army took half of the soldiers of the Northern Army to garrison at the pass.
Yan Yunge frowned, "The king of Dongping was assassinated, and the general of the Northern Army took half of his men and horses to garrison at the pass, is the matter so serious?" Could it be that the assassin of the king of Dongping was sent by a foreign race? β
The pass is garrisoned, and the defense is mainly of foreign races.
Xiao shook his head, "There are all kinds of rumors about the assassins, but none of them are true. β
'Who wants to assassinate the king of Dongping?' Could it be that the Tao family was annoyed and angry, because His Majesty refused to deal with Xiao Yi for a long time, so he was angry with King Dongping? β
"The Tao family doesn't have that guts! At least not yet. Xiao Shi was sure, "The Tao family has the strength to assassinate the King of Dongping, but they can't do it." It doesn't play any role except for the outgas. I think Old Man Tao should not be old and confused, and he will not make the decision to assassinate the king of Dongping. βγ
So who assassinated King Dongping?
It can't be Xiao Yi's doing, right?
Hey?
Wait, Xiao Yat is suspicious.
Others don't know, Yan Yunge is clear, that person can enter and leave Jin Wuwei Prison freely.
He went to assassinate, and no one could have imagined it.
Moreover, he is an assassination expert himself.
He's going to kill his own father?
What are the benefits?
Yan Yunge frowned, unable to figure it out.
She gestured her hands, "There is one thing, and I ask my mother to solve my doubts." Several princes have been in Beijing for half a year, and the things that should be done have been done, why does Your Majesty still keep people and refuse to let them go back to the fiefdom? β
Xiao Shi pondered and said: "As early as the emperor's grandfather, that is, Emperor Zhongzong, there was a voice in the court to take back the fiefdom of the royal family. I was too young to understand. Now that I think about it carefully, Emperor Zhongzong must have been in favor of recovering the fiefdom and weakening the authority of the royal family. It's just that this matter has been shouted for several days, but there is no follow-up. Later, there was an accident in the East Palace, and no one cared about it. β
Yan Yunge gestured his hands and asked, "What does Mother mean, Your Majesty wants to follow the example of Emperor Zhongzong and take back the fiefdom of the imperial family?" β
Xiao shook his head, "I don't know!" His Majesty's thoughts are becoming more and more difficult to guess. He had this idea, not surprised. He didn't have that idea, and he wasn't surprised. After all, he is well versed in the inconsistencies between the inside and the outside, and no one can read his mind. β
In Shaw's words, there was a thick sarcasm, not concealed at all.
The Xiao family is the same as Emperor Yongtai, and they are cousins and sisters.
Whether the two had a holiday that year, except for the parties, no one knows.
Xiao's mind wandered for a while, and he quickly came back to his senses.
She said to Yan Yunge, "I called you back just in case. The assassination of King Dongping is not a good thing after all, and I am afraid that for a period of time in the future, the capital will not be peaceful. During this time, you will stay in the house in peace, and don't leave the house if you have anything to do. Let's see where the wind goes. β
Yan Yunge nodded, "I listen to my mother." It just so happened that the matter on the side of the villa was basically dealt with. The mixed soup in the north and south is also on the right track, with Yanmu guarding it, so I don't have to worry about it. β
Xiao Shi laughed, "I have the opportunity to visit your sister in the Second Prince's Mansion, and I don't know if she and the Second Prince get along well." β
β¦β¦
The second prince is sick!
He had a bitter summer, and when the weather was hot, the whole person was not good.
Four or five imperial doctors gathered in the Second Prince's Mansion to consult and prescribe medicine together.
In fact, the illness of the second prince is a clichΓ©.
After being sick for so many years, the prescriptions are ready-made.
But, after all, it is the prince.
When he was sick, the imperial doctor had to do his duty to diagnose and prescribe prescriptions to recuperate for the second prince.
Yan Yunqi stayed by the side of the second prince Xiao Chengwen, staring at him taking medicine.
"Are you feeling better?"
The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, nodded, "The medicinal materials in the palace have a very good effect. After taking the medicine, I have been much better. You don't have to worry about me here, you have your own servant to serve. Go ahead and get busy with yours. β
Yan Yunqi said: "There are few things in the house, and there is nothing to be busy with. I'll stay with you! β
"No!"
The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, has a resolute attitude, he doesn't need Yan Yunqi to accompany him.
The two are husband and wife, which is true. However, it doesn't mean that he has to be honest with her.
Besides, the two have been married for a short time, and they are not familiar enough to be honest with everything.
Yan Yunqi heard the resoluteness and indifference in his tone, and her heart was cold.
She took a deep breath and tried to laugh out, "Okay! Take good care of your body, and I'll come to see you tomorrow. β
She got up and left, inevitably feeling a little depressed.
The maid wanted to comfort her, but she stopped her.
She didn't need anyone to comfort her.
All this was expected before the marriage.
Besides, the second prince Xiao Chengwen is not happy to accompany her, and she is not uncommon.
She was just polite, but she was taken seriously.
She laughed at herself and muttered to herself, "The fourth sister is really right, you can't take men too seriously." β
