Chapter 19 Yaki Co., Ltd. Returning home while pregnant
After arriving in the capital, the two of them still wandered around the streets, eating all kinds of delicacies and drinking all kinds of high-end teas, and the two still tried to go around the streets and alleys.
One day at noon, the two were eating in the restaurant, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves on the street, the people on the street cried, the people in the restaurant flocked to the window, and Qian Jin and the two also moved forward.
It turned out to be a team of men and horses galloping through the streets with impunity, completely oblivious to the bustling flow of people in the streets, and behind the horse team was a carriage.
Qian Jin broke a chopstick, and unknowingly shot at the hoof joints of the three horses in the front row, and the three horses fell to the ground and flipped up, crushing the three people on the horseback.
At the first moment, the horse team came to a sudden stop, and the second row of men immediately came down and dragged the three out of the horse.
The three of them didn't care about continuing to deal with the injuries of the three people, and immediately got on their horses and continued to gallop, but after this chaos, the flow of people in front of them had dispersed.
Watching the procession walk away, the diners returned to their places and continued to eat and drink.
"Alas, this Vice Governor Cheng, who is currently acting as a prestige among the common people, nods in front of the Japanese, I really don't know how this person got up. ”
"Who says it's not? He's a stable official, and I heard that not long ago, he lost 100,000 taels of silver from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Why do you want to pay them money?"
"I heard that a Japanese man killed a man in the street and was beaten to death by several people, and finally the government arrested them all, and I heard that they were going to be beheaded. ”
"Those Japanese people really do all kinds of evil, they make trouble in the streets all day long, and the government doesn't care about them. ”
"There used to be people in charge, but those who were in charge were transferred, so now there is no one in charge. ”
"Alas, the laws only work for the common people, not for officials, and now they don't work for foreigners, this world!"
After Qian Jin and the two finished eating, they went their separate ways, Nian Mei went to inquire about Vice Governor Cheng's residence, and Qian Jin went to learn about the residence of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.
The Japanese Chamber of Commerce is located at the most prosperous intersection and occupies two large houses with firewalls between them.
Qian Jin wanted to serve a pot of Tieguanyin on the second floor of the teahouse opposite him, and watched the people entering and leaving the two houses while drinking. In an hour, I saw a man in black carrying two boxes in, and two groups of people with knives came out of them, and when they passed by the guard booth at the door, they bowed to the pavilion.
An hour and a half, after drinking two pots of tea, Qian Jin left two pieces of Guangyang and got up to leave.
When she returned to the inn, Nian Mei was already reading the book "Knife Technique" in her room.
After dinner, the two went their separate ways.
At the end of the day, Qian Jin flew to the roof of the Japanese company, figured out the layout of all the rooms, and then threw all the incense into the rooms where there were people, and moved all the boxes containing antiques and ancient books to the gazebo; looked through the ancient books again, and there were no books he liked, so he covered the boxes; he went into the house and collected all the silver tickets, trying to find a list of the people in black, but he didn't find them, and even if he found them, he wouldn't know them. However, Qian Jin found a map, a very comprehensive map, which was also the first time Qian Jin saw a map.
Standing on the roof of the foyer, Qian Jin waited for the guards to put out the fire; sure enough, after seeing the fire inside, the guards on both sides of the guard box ran back to find something to hold water, and Qian Jin threw out eight tiles, knocked all eight people unconscious, and threw them into the fire one by one.
After a while, I heard a scream from the room, but it was useless, the fire was already fully ignited, the smoke was billowing out, the house had collapsed, and only the pavilion was left standing there, and there were two foyers outside. During the whole process, no one around came out to help put out the fire, and no one opened the door to take a look.
Looking at the ruins, Qian Jin ran to pick up Ying Nianmei.
At this time, the smoke was also billowing from Vice Governor Cheng's mansion, and Nian Mei was sitting on the roof of the gatehouse, holding a gun in her right hand and grabbing a few bullets in her left hand.
After a while, Vice Governor Cheng ran out in front of him and hugged him, looking so embarrassed. Disheveled, with disheveled hair, one shoe on one foot and the other bare.
Running to the front of the gatehouse, Vice Governor Cheng turned around and ordered three people, "You, you, you, hurry up and organize firefighting." Turning to the person next to him, "You go find a chair for me." ”
The four of them left immediately, and there were only three people left around Vice Governor Cheng; Nian Mei took a gun, and shot her in the head, and when she saw blood splashing out of the back of her head, she turned around and left.
The three people next to them were stunned, two quickly reached out to help the vice governor, and the third person also flew to the roof and chased in the direction of Nian Mei; The direction was wrong, so naturally there was no trace, let alone chasing, and the man turned back and chased for a while, but in vain.
Qian Jin also came straight after seeing the firelight, but everything was over, Nian Mei had left, the pursuers had also returned to the courtyard, the arrester and the military police had also arrived, and the courtyard was surrounded like a bucket.
Looking at the chaotic scene, Qian Jin had no desire to continue watching, and turned to leave.
The next day, the capital was boiling, and the streets did not feel it, but the restaurants, teahouses and inns were talking about it, saying that the retribution had arrived, and all those widows were dead, and Vice Governor Cheng was also dead, and the capital was peaceful from then on.
However, some people are worried about this, some things cannot be decided by a deputy governor, and there will definitely be people who support it, otherwise what he does will not be so bold;
Some people say that the government brought out 16 boxes of antiques and ancient books, as well as 4,000 or 5,000 catties of gold and silver, from that chamber of commerce, and I don't know how they can get so many things, and I don't see them doing any big business;
On the third day, the streets were plastered with bounty notices, encouraging people to provide clues. At this time, Qian Jin and his family were already playing in the scenic spot eighty miles away from the provincial capital, admiring the strange mountains and mountains, and stepping on the sheep intestine trail.
Back in the capital, eight days have passed since the incident. The two of them started shopping on the streets, and it was time to go back after a long trip.
The two of them bought six pocket watches, so that they could see the time without having to estimate it often; they bought an atlas in a bookstore, but it was a very simple one, but they could know that they were in the southeast of the Republic of China; there was another province in the east, which province they had to go out of to get to the sea, and there was another province in the south from the sea; and four provinces had to pass through to get to the capital.
Qian Jin didn't know which province he belonged to, and next to the deep mountains and old forests, there was no one to collect rent, and he didn't know which county he belonged to, let alone which province he belonged to. Ask Nianmei, she doesn't know, it seems that she needs to go back and ask the master.
Seeing the 1926 compilation and publication in the upper left corner, Qian Jin asked, "Sister Nian, what year is it now?"
"I don't know, what's wrong?"
"Look, what does it mean when it says it was compiled and published in 1926?"
"I don't know, let's find someone to ask tomorrow. ”
The next day, the two asked two old gentlemen randomly on the street, and learned that it was June of the 15th year of the Republic of China, June 1927 of the Gregorian calendar, and then they knew the year and month they were in. There is really no nail in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year.
The two walked slowly all the way to Qingxian. Qian Jin listened to the evening class in the monastery for three more days, and then rushed to Qixian. Holding a predetermined sword and dagger. By this time, Qian Jin and the two of them already had nearly 60 catties of gold and silver, 11 million silver tickets, 39 pistols, and more than 1,100 bullets on their horses.
When she arrived in Xinxian County, Nian Mei retched from time to time and began to vomit after eating, and Qian Jin thought she was sick and took her to find a Chinese medicine doctor.
The old Chinese medicine doctor gave Nian Mei a pulse and said, "It's okay, I'm happy." Then he told Nian Mei that she couldn't exercise vigorously, she had to nourish her qi often, and she couldn't move the fetal gas.
When Qian Jin heard this, he was a little dazed, and then he returned to the inn with Nian Mei in his arms, and re-planned the route home, but he couldn't go back to the forest; He also rented a carriage and a coachman at the carriage shop.
With pregnancy, Nian Mei herself began to be careful, consciously not riding a horse, and not taking the initiative to tease and fight shirtless with Qian Jin. When I see bayberry on the side of the road, I always ask Qian Jin to buy some, if it is a deserted place, Qian Jin will unceremoniously pick as much as he can.
Every day, my life is also regular, and I have to eat hot meals for three meals, and I don't rush to travel at night.
The two hurried home slowly, and when they got home, it was already August. encountered two robberies on the road, but it was Qian Jin who broke the other party's belief with lightning speed, making the other party take the initiative to retreat and did not cause killing.
Looking at the map, Liu Yi pointed to Chahar and Fujian and said, "I have been to Fujian in the east, and I have been to the north, and the farthest point is to Chahar." Every three years, I go back and forth, or I go on horseback. ”
Looking at the map, for a long time, Liu Yi pointed to Jiangsu and said, "This is where we had an accident, according to what you said, those Japanese have already begun to burn, kill and loot in our court; ”
"After Nian Mei gives birth, I will go to the east to have a look. ”
"Alas, the north is much more chaotic than the south, and the east is also more chaotic than ours, and if we don't go out, we will still live a very quiet life in this deep mountain and old forest. If you have to recite those three sutras, it is very good for meditation, especially when you are alone, it can reduce the violent spirit. I'll take the Dharma rod and practice it first, and then you can practice it later. ”
"The master just took it. I also want to use this time to recite these three scriptures and try to memorize them all. ”
