Chapter 722: Children
The school office is a yamen under the control of Zhuge Wanling, which is directly under Jing Wu, and its power is so great that it has already overwhelmed a big yamen, and its many secret agents are all over the world, and because of the war in Jing Wu in recent years, this yamen is like a flame that has been ignited, and it is more and more dazzling and even has a feeling that it cannot be forced.
This is also the reason why after Sun Ji'an became the leader of the scholar clan, he has been constantly suppressing the school government in all aspects.
No one wants to be asleep, but there is a person hiding outside the window, quietly and silently drawing their sleeping appearance with a brush, remembering their dreams, not to mention that not everyone will only have some fragrant spring dreams, a sentence falling all over the head, not the first time, and it will never be the last.
However, Qin Ke had heard of a saying that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, although the power of the school government was enough to intercept the tide, once there was a problem inside, it was very likely that it would continue to collapse because of it.
In the matter of Sun Tong, the Sun family has shown for the first time that they have the ability to infiltrate the school government, and the two masters that Qin Ke met today are the secret agents of the school government.
Then again, what exactly did Tiger find out that caused his sudden disappearance?
Why did these two people get into the tiger's room, could it be that they wanted to destroy something?
Thinking of this, Qin Ke couldn't help but feel creepy, only to feel that a large net was gradually opening up vaguely, and it could turn into a blood basin and devour everything at any time.
"The tiger must have found something. Qin Ke's eyes sank, looked at those files, and began to check them more and more vigorously, "That's why I just left the school office on the front foot, and they went straight to this side on the back foot, it seems that they also knew that I would investigate this matter, so they hurriedly came to destroy the evidence." ”
Cai Yan nodded slightly, and also felt that Qin Ke made sense, so he continued to flip through the files piled up together, and soon, he found some clues from them.
"Gongsun Li......" When Cai Yan mentioned this name, he suddenly patted his head, and sighed, "Why did I forget her." As far as I can see now, from the very beginning, the tiger seems to be tracking down Gongsun Li's whereabouts. ”
"Show me?" Qin Ke took the file.
Of course, he also remembered the girl who came to the door with a grieving face and came to the door to ask him to investigate the truth, in fact, the day Xue Yang was arrested, he could have caught Gongsun Li who was hiding in the secret compartment under the bed, but in the end he deliberately pretended not to be aware of the past and ignored the past.
Later, he was kidnapped by Luo Fengxiao, and he never saw Gongsun Li again, but today he suddenly found out that this matter was related to Gongsun Li, and he was also surprised in his heart.
It's a pity that the two of them flipped through all the files and records of the tiger, and finally failed to find enough strong news to determine who was the traitor in the school office, and who instructed them to do the next series of things.
What's worse is that the handwriting stops abruptly at one of the volumes, and the following is never to be found again.
Looking at the scribbled handwriting left by the tiger in a daze, Qin Ke couldn't help but scold, "You should be ruthless just now, maybe you can catch that person." They came one step ahead of us, and perhaps he took the lost volume. ”
The most uncomfortable thing about investigating the case is probably that the key clues are suddenly disconnected at a certain moment, resulting in the secret that has been opened in a corner and is covered by a thick black fog.
But Cai Yan didn't think so, and comforted with a smile: "This is already the best result, as far as it seems now, if it weren't for these people who were negligent for a while and forgot the tiger's residence, I'm afraid you would be in ruins when you arrived here today." ”
To turn a house into ruins, all it takes is a simple fire.
Qin Ke thought of such a scene, but he was suddenly shocked, and then said to Cai Yan in a low voice: "It seems that those children can't continue to live here, otherwise I don't know what will happen next." ”
The children who were still playing happily in the yard before, although they were all wearing patched clothes, did not show their yellow and thin faces, and even each of them could memorize a lot of poems, so you can imagine what kind of energy the tiger spent on them.
And Qin Ke can also see his former self from them, so naturally he can't let those children continue to live in this already unsafe house.
Therefore, after collecting a few important volumes, he immediately went out to find the children and the woman, Aunt Huang, and discussed with them the matter of changing their residence.
In fact, Aunt Huang didn't have any opinion on this, but she was worried about the tiger's affairs and hoped to get some news from Qin Ke, but where did Qin Ke know about the tiger's current situation?
So he could only find an excuse to prevaricate and say: "Tiger is investigating a big case now, he is worried that you will be in danger, so let's take a look, as for himself, there will be no problem with the protection of the people from the school office." ”
When Aunt Huang heard this answer, she also calmed down, but there was a little melancholy in her eyes, and she was obviously a little reluctant to look at the small courtyard.
After all, it is a place where she has lived for so many years, and every brick and tile, grass and tree here has been deeply engraved into her heart, and all of a sudden all this has been changed, and anyone will be a little scared.
However, when Aunt Huang really saw the new residence that Qin Ke had laid for them, her eyes widened and she stayed at the door like a log.
"This ...... This is for us?" Aunt Huang entered such a courtyard for the first time in her life, although it was still far from the vermilion lacquer gate guarded by the stone lions of those officials and gentlemen, but as soon as she entered the threshold, she could see a green shade.
The grapevines grow wantonly on the top of the courtyard, and the stone tables and stone benches below are as neat as new, and there are nineteen vertical and horizontal paths, and the chess pieces polished by goose soft stone in the rattan pipe are round and jade.
From the right side, the courtyard has eight wings, one kitchen, each with an open door, spacious and tidy, as if it has been waiting for the new owner to use it.
Qin Ke looked at Aunt Huang's shocked appearance, and smiled at Cai Yan, and then Cai Yan bent down and smiled at the children: "Everyone go and pick a room, choose which one you like, if you want to sleep together, discuss it yourself." ”
The children were innocent, and naturally believed that Cai Yan, the beautiful sister, would not lie to them, so they let out a cheerful scream, and ran under the vine, looking here, touching there, and being a little curious about the chessboard on the stone table.
Mr. has taught me some such things, but it is very different from how I can actually touch those smooth chess pieces and draw lines on the dirt floor to play on a regular day.
Qin Ke looked at the cheerful appearance of these children, and he was also happy in his heart, although this courtyard was worth a lot of money, even more than his own residence, he was not distressed at all, and was teased by Cai Yan that it was "a stingy ghost".
"This, this, this...... It's not good. Aunt Huang was a little panicked, you must know that she has never lived in such a good place, if it is smashed, how can she, a widowed and unaccompanied woman, be able to afford to pay for it.
But with Qin Ke's somewhat tough support, she finally accepted the reality, and in the end she could only thank her for a thousand thanks, if she hadn't been forcibly supported, she really wanted to kneel down and kowtow a few times.
"Actually, now that I think about it, people like Hu are really a bit bitter, although the money in the school government is already a lot compared to many people, but if he doesn't fill his own pockets with dirt, he can't even afford such a courtyard. On the other hand, those scholars who shout every day that the people are noble and gentle, all of them have towering buildings and countless fertile fields. ”
Qin Ke looked at those children and Aunt Huang who was touching the vines with tears in her eyes, and said with some emotion in her heart.
Cai Yan felt Qin Ke's emotions, a cold hand gently shook with a hand that was a little rough because of holding the sword, and said softly: "There are many things, we can't change them, but at least you have done what you have to do, don't think too much." ”
Qin Ke didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curved into an arc, because he felt Cai Yan's hair spread all over his shoulders, and that heavy weight carried some warm heat.
He lowered his head and gently kissed Cai Yan's forehead.
