It was difficult for Qin Tai to come out to work, and Qiu Xiaoqiu was the first time to be an official entourage, so they all felt that being this envoy was very prestigious. Not only did Qin Tai feel as if he had been reborn, but even Qiu Xiaoqiu thought that he was no longer himself. But the excitement and excitement were immediately extinguished, because they saw a very strange scene.

Qiu Xiaoqiu had just changed into a new dress sent by a brocade guard, and was about to go and take a look at his cousin Qin Tai. Unexpectedly, he discovered a secret, a secret that was very bad for them. A boatman who seemed to have the most no identity on the ship, actually grabbed the brocade guard, and after showing the brocade guard, the attitude of the brocade guard changed from the original arrogance to caution. Then the boatman asked Jin Yiwei some more questions, and Jin Yiwei answered all the questions immediately.

Originally, Qiu Xiaoqiu was a little far away from them, and he shouldn't have heard what they said clearly, but Qiu Xiaoqiu really heard what they said. This is Qiu Xiaoqiu's secret, only a very few people know this secret, and only Qin Tai knows this form except for Qiu Min's husband and wife. It turned out that Qiu Xiaoqiu grew up in Fujian, and his father was a merchant, that is, a small businessman who did business outside all day long. There were only Qiu Xiaoqiu and his mother at home, Qiu Xiaoqiu was young at the time, so he always played outside during the day. Every time it was time to eat, his mother searched the world to find him. When Qiu Xiaoqiu was eight years old, Qiu Xiaoqiu's mother, who is now the mother of the Qiu family, heard a cannon at home. The lady of the enemy family, who knew about the accident, hurriedly went out to find her child, she was worried that the child would be killed by the cannon. When she found Qiu Xiaoqiu, although Qiu Xiaoqiu didn't seem to have any external injuries, his ears were actually deafened by the cannon. Later, Qiu Xiaoqiu's biological father rushed back to save his wife and children, and went to the city to find a doctor to heal Qiu Xiaoqiu's ears. After everyone's efforts, Qiu Xiaoqiu's ears were finally cured, and Qiu Xiaoqiu's hearing was not affected. During the period of deafness, Qiu Xiaoqiu not only learned sign language, but also learned lip language, that is, the language that knows the meaning of the other party by looking at the shape of the other party's mouth. This secret is because Qiu Xiaoqiu's hometown was occupied and slaughtered by the Japanese invaders, Qiu Xiaoqiu came to Shanxi, and many other reasons, resulting in not many people knowing, and it has become a secret weapon of Qiu Xiaoqiu.

Qiu Xiaoqiu "listened" to their conversation with his lips from the conversation between the two. The shipwright is a confidant of the prince, and he has a special token for the palace in his hand as proof. That brocade guard seemed to have some handle in the other party's hand, so he didn't dare not tell the truth. Jin Yiwei told the identities of Qin Tai and Qiu Xiaoqiu, and said that Gonggong Feng wanted them to protect and support Qin Tai with all their might. The boatman asked Jin Yiwei a question again and again, and mentioned Qin Tai's name many times, but Jin Yiwei looked confused. It seems that the shipwright is asking Jinyiwei about the ultimate purpose of Qin Tai's coming to Jiangnan. Of course, Jin Yiwei didn't know the purpose, Qin Tai's mission was a top secret, and now even Qiu Xiaoqiu didn't know anything about it.

The boatman and the brocade guard spoke in this corner, and although they did not have much time, they had basically understood everything they had to know. After the brocade guard had left, the boatman walked to a corner of a large ship and, as if playing a trick, took out a pigeon cage. There were also some blank slips of paper and a strange pen on which he drew random patterns like symbols. Then roll up the strip of paper and stuff it into a bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet. The boatman did not release the pigeon immediately, but fed the pigeon with some food before releasing it. Instead of releasing one pigeon, the boatman released five pigeons, and according to the method just now, a total of five pigeons were released. Three pigeons flew south and two pigeons went north. Then the boatman put away the pigeon cages and went back to his own business as if nothing had happened.

Qiu Xiaoqiu lost the pride and excitement just now, and hurriedly went back to his cousin Qin Tai to talk about it. After Qin Tai listened to it, his analysis was much more comprehensive than Qiu Xiaoqiu's. Of course, you can't tell Qiu Xiaoqiu all these things now, not only because I am worried that Qiu Xiaoqiu will not be able to accept it, but I am also worried that Qiu Xiaoqiu will not be able to hide from the other party's surveillance. After all, Qiu Xiaoqiu is still a child, a child who has never experienced such a thing. Anyone needs to hone and adapt, even Qin Tai himself, it takes time to adapt if he hasn't investigated the case all these years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so careless, not only showing pride, but also losing due caution. Qin Tai deeply regretted his mistakes, and reminded himself from time to time not to be careless.

comforted his cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu, who was already a little at a loss, and sent Qiu Xiaoqiu to rest next door. When Qin Tai returned to his room, he would do everything Qiu Xiaoqiu said. According to Qiu Xiaoqiu's words, this boatman must be a "nail", a secret agent placed by a certain prince by the river. Starting from the Yangtze River, there are three princes to the south of the Yangtze River, who will be the master of this boatman? What were they anxious to know Qin Tai's identity and purpose? Are they worried that Emperor Longqing will target them? Or are they doing some covert activity? Why should five pigeons be released, and should this man have four alliances? Where do the pigeons flying north go? Is it going to a certain vassal palace in the north? Or go to a certain big man in the capital?

Qin Tai suddenly had an inspiration to say it, and it flashed like lightning. Qin Tai caught this aura, as if he had caught something. There are three pigeons to the south, and there happen to be three princes in Jiangnan, could it be that the three princes have secretly joined forces? Will those who fly north go to the capital, fly into the house of Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet, and fly into Chen Hong, the eunuch who is the master of ceremonies? Why? Because Qin Tai inadvertently learned a piece of news back then, a piece of information that was ignored at the beginning. Xu Jie is a native of Song*jiang in Nanzhili, and it is said that their family has countless distant relatives with the prince of Nan*jing. For this reason, Xu Jie once lived in the palace when he was not developing. It was this webpage that recommended Xu Jie to the imperial court, and Xu Jie had the opportunity to take the exam in the capital exceptionally. Not only did he get good results in the exam, but he was also assigned to the real vacancy and served as the prefect of a certain place in the east of Shandong, and was promoted to the prefect soon after. As for Chen Hong's secret alliance with Xu Jie, Qin Tai also knew a little. But Qin Tai felt a little strange, Chen Hong was ruthless, and the eunuch had always been short-sighted, how could he join forces with Xu Jie? Xu Jie has been establishing his image of incorruptibility all his life, why should he get together with the notorious Chen Hong? Huang Jin once said that Chen Hong didn't seem to join forces with Xu Jie, but more like Chen Hong took refuge with Xu Jie. Although the ministers of the court and the central government look down on the eunuchs, the eunuchs are really smarter than the ministers, so the eunuchs have never been afraid of the ministers. As a celebrant and eunuch, not only does he not have to fear the first assistant of the cabinet, but he is also the natural enemy of the first assistant of the cabinet. Why is Chen Hong afraid of Xu Jie? Everything is to look forward to the horse? Isn't Chen Hong afraid of Xu Jie, there is still someone behind Xu Jie, this person is what Chen Hong is afraid of. This person controls Chen Hong through Xu Jie, and Chen Hong is so obedient. If this is the case, this person must be very powerful, controlling the eunuch who controls the head of the cabinet and the eunuch of the celebrant of the current dynasty, and is almost on an equal footing with Emperor Longqing. If there really is such a person, he must be a prince, a member of the royal family who can be the emperor.
