Xia Xun opened his eyes and said fiercely: "Do you want to die?"
"In no mood!"
Xu Ming'er blinked and smiled sweetly at him: "You are him! Right?"
"Who am I?"
Xia Xun raised his fist fiercely and threatened: "Believe it or not, I can beat your head into a rotten watermelon with one punch?"
"I believe it, but you won't do it."
Xu Ming'er didn't cooperate at all. She stretched out a slender finger, gently pushed Xia Xun's big iron fist aside, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't pretend, it's pointless if you keep pretending."
Already."
Xia Xun's fist was like a punctured rubber ball, hanging down limply: "Not only have I lost a lot of weight, but I also have a big beard. How did you recognize me?"
"Can you put me down first?"
"oh!"
Only then did Xia Xun realize that he was still holding her by the collar and pushing her against the wall. He quickly put her down and subconsciously wanted to help her straighten her messed up clothes. Before his hand touched her chest, he
After being slapped hard by Xu Min'er and seeing the little girl's shy look, Xia Xun finally woke up and couldn't help but smile.
"Want to know how I recognized you? It's easy."
Xu Ming'er said slowly and calmly: "Actually, I didn't recognize you at all, you just look familiar."
When Xia Xun heard this, he was already regretting it.
Xu Ming'er added: "If I ran up to you, pointed at your nose and asked if you were Yang Xu, and you denied it with a look of surprise, then I wouldn't doubt you.
.I just had nothing to do, so I came ashore to take a look. You were too careful. If you didn’t catch me, how could I be sure it was you?"
"so……"
Xu Ming'er said confidently: "Don't blame me, you are the one who captured me. You didn't fight when it was time to start fighting, and you looked at me so weirdly. If I still can't recognize who you are, you should
Am I blind?"
Xia Xun sighed and said, "Yeah, I'm stupid, aren't I?"
The little girl had a good heart and comforted her softly: "That's not true. You just... never regarded me as your enemy. You believe I won't harm you, right?"
Xia Xun rubbed his nose and said helplessly: "My princess, why are you dressing up like this? Now that you are missing, the Prince of Zhongshan may be in a hurry, why don't you go back as soon as possible?"
Xu Ming'er said: "No! It's just that I didn't see you. Now that I have seen you, how can I ask you to leave like this?"
Xia Xun grimaced and said, "Then what else do you want?"
Xu Ming'er said: "I don't care what bad things you want to do when you come to Jinling, I won't tell you anyway. But I'm in trouble now, you have to help me!"
Xia Xun looked around, pulled her up and said, "It's not safe here either. They're about to be searched. Let's talk as we go."
Xu Ming'er walked beside him, told the story in detail, and finally said: "My eldest brother forced me to marry, but I don't want to marry. I promise to keep it a secret for you, and you have to promise me. If my eldest brother forces me too much,
You have to get me out."
She stared at Xia Xun and said: "You are so capable, you can save my eldest brother-in-law's three precious sons. They are like nothing in the dragon's pond and tiger's den. It is not difficult to save a little girl, right?"
Xia Xun's heart moved, and he unexpectedly thought of Shuangyu Island. If the little princess really wanted to leave, sending her there would be a very safe place, but...
Xia Xun thought of this and said: "Princess, it is easy to save you, but the court and King Yan have come to this point. If you disappear suddenly, no matter where you go, the court will think that you have taken refuge in Yan."
Your Highness, have you ever thought about this pair of Zhongshan Prince’s Mansion... Princess?"
"I thought about it!"
Xu Ming'er said seriously: "The imperial court has been wary of my Xu family for a long time. If I leave, at worst, my Xu family will no longer be able to recruit troops. What else can we do? Is it so important to hold power?"
She stood still and looked at Xia Xun. Under the moonlight, her little face was very serious: "For the safety of my family, I, Xu Ming'er, am not afraid of sacrificing myself; but I will not betray myself for the black yarn on my eldest brother's head. Three
What my brother did was more dangerous than me. He can have his choice, why can't I, just because I am the daughter of a family?"
Xia Xun looked at her with some surprise, because she had changed into men's clothes and looked like a half-grown boy. Xia Xun didn't notice how much she had grown up, but after listening to her words and looking at her expression, Xia Xun suddenly realized,
The little cute girl who looked like a little white rabbit in furry white clothes has really grown up now, and she already has her own ideas.
Xia Xun also became serious, promising as if to an adult: "Okay! I promise you, once the Duke of Wei forces you to get married, I will help you leave!"
Just as Xu Ming'er smiled, a group of patrolmen chased a person running past the alleyway, shouting and screaming. Xia Xun quickly made a gesture, and the two of them continued on their way.
"By the way, I have one more thing."
"you say."
"I have already told my third brother what you told me back then. However, he didn't take it seriously..."
Xu Ming'er said in embarrassment: "I know, asking like this... is a bit difficult for you, but I am really afraid that something will happen to my third brother, can you... please help me take care of him as much as possible, if my third brother really gets into trouble
If the problem is over and you can help..." The little girl was a reasonable person and did not force Xia Xun to agree to anything.
Xia Xun's heart moved, and he suddenly thought that his secret espionage organization had not yet opened doors at the upper levels. Could Xu Zengshou be recruited into it?
But he quickly gave up this idea, for no other reason than that Xu Zengshou was the brother-in-law of King Yan Zhu Di and the younger brother of Princess Yan. If you wanted to attack him, you wouldn't even need to instigate rebellion. The problem is, if he ever gets involved because of this,
Who can guarantee that the big family behind him will not be angry with him?
What's more, due to his relationship with King Zhu Di of Yan, he now has almost no chance to participate in military operations. The information he can obtain is limited. Moreover, the mission of Jinyiwei is to detect major crimes that betray the monarch, although the court has long since withdrawn it.
This function of the Jinyiwei was reserved only for their Yiluansi, but Luo Kedi never gave up on this sacred mission.
If he were to send someone to monitor Xu Laosan's every move and contact him himself, wouldn't it be..., the benefits would be too disproportionate to the effort. Thinking of this, Xia Xun gave up his original idea and just nodded lightly.
Xu Ming'er became happy, stared at him and said: "Yang Xu, thank you!"
Xia Xun smiled, and just wanted to be polite, Xu Ming'er seemed to suddenly think of something again, and let out a soft "Ah" and said: "By the way, I have one more thing!"
Xia Xun's face twitched like a dumpling: "Miss, are you done yet?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Jin Yiweidu commander Si Yamen.
Luo Kedi sat cross-legged and looked at the three people in front of him quietly.
Liu Yujue said: "I have already checked my humble position. Someone stole several copies of the 'Gao Shen' issued by the Ministry of Rites to Jinshi, boarded the ship for the banquet with a false identity, and secretly distributed the notices on the plane. But..., after the officials of the Ministry of Rites found out,
I was panicked and worried that the situation would get serious, so I quickly confiscated the stickers, canceled the poetry and wine party, and sent people ashore, so that... I couldn't investigate those people one by one."
Luo Kedi's cold eyes turned to Chen Dong and Ye An again. Chen Dong took out a few stickers from his arms and said calmly: "Sir, I only got these few stickers. Originally, I saw a person who looked very strange.
He was suspicious and wanted to detain him for questioning. But...he ran away all the way and deliberately caused a lot of trouble. The people from Yingtian Mansion and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division arrested people randomly, but...he took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
Already."
Luo Kedi held out his hand with a cold face, and Chen Dong quickly handed over the stickers.
Luo Kedi took it in his hand and didn't read the content. He just twisted the paper lightly. The paper was slightly yellow and the surface was slightly rough. This is bamboo paper made of bamboo tendons and grass tendons. It is the current printing workshop.
The most commonly used printing paper.
The characters were printed on woodblocks. Judging from the shape and strokes, they should be the Zhao style of the Yuan Dynasty calligrapher Zhao Mengfu.
Rivaling the calligraphy of ", this was the most popular printing style in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.
"The most commonly used paper and the most common printing fonts, trying to find the source is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It seems that the other party is very careful in what they do!"
Luo Kedi stretched out a finger, rubbed it on the paper, then straightened it and took a closer look, and said: "This is Songyanmo! Yujue, go check it out!"
Liu Yujue bowed and said: "I humbly obey my orders!"
Luo Kedi glanced at him and asked, "How do you plan to proceed?"
Liu Yujue leaned forward and said: "Yes, the paper must have been imported from the paper mill, and the calligraphy used for engraving is also the Zhao style, which is the most popular among the people. It is not easy to check. However, most of the ink used in each printing shop is made by itself.
, whether the smoke ink is dark or light, there will always be some differences. I plan to start from this aspect, find similar printing houses that use ink, and then investigate one by one, there will always be a chance to catch him. "
At that time, printing mainly used oil smoke ink and pine smoke ink. Oil smoke ink was difficult to make and expensive. Most books used by the people still used pine smoke ink. The so-called pine smoke was to burn pine wood and scrape the black ash on the chimney.
Then mix the flour into a paste, mix it with secret recipes such as wine and vinegar, and bury it to ferment. This ink is as dark as lacquer, does not change color for a long time, and becomes more fragrant as time goes by. It also has a moth-proof effect on printing plates and books, and can be used during printing.
The paper will not shrink, and the ink will not pinch the paper. Most of the printing ink in various bookshops is made by themselves. Dozens of large vats are often buried in the backyard of the bookstore to ferment the ink. Liu Yujue is a scholar.
, he also knows this kind of thing very well.
Luo Kedi stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said: "The smoke itself is only one thing that can be checked, and the other thing is time."
Liu Yujue was slightly stunned, not understanding what he meant, so he lowered his head and said, "Please give me some advice."
Luo Kedi said: "This is at the foot of the emperor. People with families and businesses are hard to win over so quickly. Therefore, their ears and eyes can only be installed in Jinling City recently. In this case, they
It was too late to make their own ink. Songyan ink had to be buried underground for at least three years before it could be used. They had to buy it from others.
Therefore, time is the most important clue. First, list all the printing shops, study studios, and even the Four Treasures Stores that were newly established in Jinling City within half a year and have just changed their owners, and then compare them with their publishing and printing history.
Use physical objects to check the smoke and ink traces. Use time to lock in the scope of the investigation; use ink to lock in the suspicious people, eh?"
Liu Yujue said sincerely: "Yes!"
Luo Kedi waved his hand, and the three of them quickly retreated.
Luo Kedi pressed his hands on his knees and was silent for a while, then laughed softly: "Yang Xu, are you here?"
