After the fire, it seemed that all parties had benefited, and even Lin Lingsu was one step closer to the officialdom; but the five-stone powder that had been painstakingly planned was originally planned to be secretly circulated in Bianliang, serving as a proxy for the Shenxiao sect.
Lin Lingsu obtained a huge amount of money, but now she had to stop temporarily until the news got over.
This fact made Lin Lingsu so angry that her teeth itched with hatred.
Another person who harbors hatred is Qin Fei. As the youngest commander of the Imperial City Division, he does not have the slightest share of such important achievements. Ximen Qing and Wu Song are about to receive the favor of King Jia and rise to prominence.
And his adoptive father, Qian Gui, just kept his head stuck in the pile of information all day long. These things seemed to be passing by, and people outside thought that there was only one official in the Imperial City Division, and that was Tan Zhen.
Therefore, Qin Fei and Tan Zhen have become closer recently, especially after visiting Liang Shicheng at Fengle Building last time. Qin Fei feels that he can no longer watch his adoptive father die, and it is time to make a move.
This is the principle when people remove living trees and remove dead trees.
Gritting his teeth, Qin Fei walked to the largest room in the Imperial City Division, where Tan Zhen's office is located.
On the other hand, Ximen Qing and others moved into their new house, hoping that Lin Chong would come back and have a good reunion. Unexpectedly, Lin Chong was nowhere to be seen until the sun went down. Lu Zhishen stood up to say goodbye. Ximen Qing, Wu Song and others arrived at the door, and saw Lin Chong staggering around.
was helped into the alley.
The man who helped Lin Chong was about the same age as Lin Chong, also in his thirties. He was wearing Yuhou's clothes and had some beard on his mouth. Ximen Qing felt a sudden surprise in his heart when he saw it, and thought to himself: "Could this be Lu Qian?"
Lu Qian and Lin Chong were from the same hometown and had the best friendship, but he plotted against Lin Chong in order to please Gao Yanei. Even when Lin Chong was sent away in Water Margin, he traveled thousands of miles to go to harm Fu An and others. If not, Lin Chong would still have
You can't go up to Liangshan.
This person can be said to be a complete villain, so Ximen Qing is naturally extra cautious.
Lu Qian helped Lin Chong and was about to knock on the door. Lin Chong rolled his eyes drunkenly, but saw a few people standing at the door next to him. He took a look at it intently and shouted, "Zemo, are you the senior official and Master Lu?"
As he said this, Lin Chong pushed Lu Qian's arm and was about to run over to meet him. Unexpectedly, he was so drunk that he almost leaned over and fell down within two steps. Upon seeing this, Wu Song grabbed Lin Chong from behind Ximen Qing, helped Lin Chong up and said:
"Senior brother, why are you so drunk?"
Lin Chong looked up and said some random drunken words. Who could understand what he meant?
Seeing that Lin Chong was acquainted with these people, Lu Qian stepped forward to greet them, and informed him of his name: "Lu Qian and Coach Lin are colleagues and fellow villagers. We went to Fanlou for a drink in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Coach Lin drank too much.
, and then sent it back.”
Seeing that it was indeed Lu Qian, Ximen Qing said in his heart: "Brother Lu, please send me back to the coach."
After saying this, they also exchanged names and helped Lin Chong to the door. Ximen Qing went to knock on the door in person. When Shao Shi Jin'er came out and saw that his master was drunk, he hurriedly called Lin Chong's wife to come out and helped Coach Lin in to lie down together.
good.
Lu Qian said a few words to Mrs. Lin Chong, apologized, and went back on his own.
As soon as Lu Qian walked away, Ximen Qing pulled Shi Qian aside and said secretly: "Third brother, please go out and help me keep an eye on this guy named Lu. Who does he see and what does he say? If anything happens, come back and report to me."
.”
Although Shi Qian felt a little strange when he was on the drum, Ximen Qing never let him do anything in vain, so he quietly went out and touched Lu Qian's back.
When Hua Monk Lu Zhishen saw that Mrs. Lin Chong was taking good care of Lin Chong who was drunk and unconscious, he also stood up and said goodbye: "I'll see you again when it's convenient. If you have anything to do, go to the vegetable garden to find Sajia."
Ximen Qing, Wu Song and others saw off Lu Zhishen and also said goodbye to Mrs. Lin Chong. When they came back, the fortune teller Jiang Jing had already ordered a table of food from nearby and helped himself to Jingyang Chun.
Wu Song didn't see Shi Qian, so he asked Ximen Qing before he knew that Shi Qian had been sent to follow Lu Qian. He asked curiously: "That guy is from Lin Chong's hometown and has a good relationship. Why does the elder brother treat him like this?"
Ximen Qing replied: "Second brother, I don't know. I heard that Lu Qian and Gao Yanei have always been close to each other. Last time in the Yue Temple outside the old Suanzao Gate, Gao Yanei molested Mrs. Lin Chong, although I taught him a lesson.
We had a meal, but for the sake of you and I being affiliated with the Imperial City Division, we dare not take action. I will definitely put this account on Lin Chong when I go back."
"If this Lu Qian is really a traitor who betrays his friends for glory, he will probably be beaten to death!" Wu Song was furious after hearing this: "I don't know why senior brother is friendly with this person?"
Sun Erniang also said angrily: "This kind of bastard should have been killed just now!"
"Right now, we are just taking precautions, which may not necessarily be the real thing." Ximen Qing said with a smile: "This is also the purpose of sending my third brother to warn the enemy first, which is better than being plotted secretly."
Wu Song nodded and said nothing. Jiang Jing, the magic fortune teller, talked about the affairs of the restaurant again and discussed with Ximen Qing for a while. Then Shi Qian came into the room and sat down quietly. He asked.
Shi Qian took the wine and drank it down in one gulp, then wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and said, "As the elder brother suspected, Lu Qian was called into the private room of the wine shop as soon as he left the alley. The younger brother pretended to go in to drink.
Only then did I hear it clearly.”
"The person here is called Fu An. He seems to be a servant of the Taiwei Mansion. He came to ask Lu Qian how well things were done. He said that Gao Yanei has been sick since he met Madam Lin Chong and has been lying in bed all day long and is too lazy to get up."
"Then Lu Qian asked Fu'an to rest assured. He will invite Lin Chong to drink in two days and trick Mrs. Lin Chong into coming out to his apartment upstairs so that Gao Yanei can make things happen."
"I really didn't expect that the fellow countrymen whom Coach Lin befriended, who were like brothers, would be so unbearable!" Although Ximen Qing had already known what happened, he still sighed: "I'll hide it from Coach Lin now, and wait until Lu
When Qian does something, Coach Lin will naturally recognize this person's true face. Otherwise, if he just talks like this in vain, I'm afraid Coach Lin won't believe it."
"That's the only way." Wu Song nodded and said, "It's hard to believe that senior brother is so self-indulgent that he always strives for perfection. That would require a lot of hard work from the third brother."
"It's a trivial matter." Shi Qian laughed and said, "How about I sneak into the Taiwei's mansion tonight and kill Gao Yanei directly? Wouldn't it be easier?"
"Although this is not a bad idea, Captain Gao is afraid that he will not give up. What should we do if the time comes to punish Coach Lin?" Ximen Qing shook his head and said: "It is better to act according to the situation and let Gao Yanei die.
"
"Brother is right." Seeing Ximen Qing's thoughtful consideration, he nodded repeatedly.
Wu Song was also thoughtful at the side, nodded slightly and said: "If it doesn't affect senior brother, that's best."
The five of them had a cup of wine and went to have a rest. Although Jiang Jing, the good fortune teller, had already found a maid and a boy, he hadn't arrived yet, so he couldn't leave it all to Sun Erniang, so he had no choice but to do it himself.
When he woke up early the next morning, Wu Song was still practicing boxing in the yard. The difference was that he was with Sun Erniang instead of alone. When the drum was on, Flea naturally fell asleep as the sun rose. Jiang Jing was busier.
After doing chores, Ximen Qing walked to the backyard alone after breakfast to look at the scenery. He felt more and more awkward that there was no pavilion.
Ximen Qing thought about the foundation of the original pavilion for a while, and then called Jiang Jing, the fortune teller, to discuss building a larger pavilion than the original one. There were many people living in the house, and the original pavilion was probably not big enough.
The divine fortune teller Jiang Jing thought about it for a long time and suggested: "If the owner is afraid that it will not be enough, why not build a two-story pavilion, which will have a better scenery."
"Well, that's a good idea!" Ximen Qing agreed with the idea very much. He walked up and down the foundation and said, "It's just that the foundation needs to be strengthened so that money is not an issue. We must build something unique."
As he talked, Ximen Qing got up, found a branch, drew a sketch in the open space next to him, and said, "Mr. Jiang, what do you think of this?"
Jiang Jing, the divine fortune teller, looked at the two-story pavilion painted on the ground, his eyes lit up and he said: "My boss's design is quite unique, it seems to have a Jiangnan flavor."
"Really? I think it's good too, haha!"
Ximen Qing smiled proudly, of course this kind of thing did not come out of thin air, but he remembered that he had seen some gardens in the south before traveling through time. The pavilions in them each had their own unique features, and each one was unique and pleasing to the eye.
What Ximen Qing painted was seen in one of the places called the Humble Administrator's Garden. At that time, I thought the second-story pavilion was very interesting, so I remembered it more firmly.
However, the Humble Administrator's Garden was built during the Ming Dynasty, but this time it advanced the design of the Ming Dynasty by hundreds of years, so it is naturally very unique.
Now that it was settled, the fortune teller Jiang Jing would find craftsmen to build the two-story pavilion. Ximen Qing drew a sketch and left it alone, and Jiang Jing was happy to take charge.
Jiang Jing asked the Four Treasures of the Study to copy the sketches that Ximen Qing drew on a whim. When Ximen Qing came to the front yard, Wu Song and Sun Erniang had finished practicing boxing and sat down to rest.
"I wonder when Xue'er and Liu Niang will get here?" Ximen Qing saw that Wu Song and Sun Erniang were close to each other, but he was alone. He couldn't help but think of Xue'er, that little enchantress, and Pan Jinlian's beautiful and inaccessible figure.
appearance.
But what is quite strange is that even the little lolita Hua Yuerong suddenly jumped out of Ximen Qing's mind and dangled in front of Ximen Qing's eyes like a show of force.
Could it be that I secretly like that little loli?
Thinking of this, Ximen Qing felt that he was a little evil. Although in the Northern Song Dynasty, women generally got married at a very young age, but for someone like Hua Yuerong, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, Ximen Qing still felt that he couldn't be like some weird scumbag.
A development plan or something.
"Just treat her like a biological sister!"
Although Ximen Qing thought so, he still couldn't help but think that in a few years Hua Yuerong would be sixteen.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Wu Song went to open the door with his own hands. When he saw a policeman in black, he saluted him and said: "Two officials, please ask the two commanders to come over."
"But what happened?" Ximen Qing was interrupted from his thoughts and asked from a distance.
"I don't know, I don't know." The black-clothed inspector replied, "But I seem to have heard that King Jia is coming to inspect."
