Meng Qi likes to deal with smart people.
Saving trouble, no need to speak too much.
Without a cup of tea, Meng Qi has already got the list.
——Hey, there are a lot of people under Wu Wang, but there is no leader, a bit of a mixed bag.
Huang Yang’s face is bitter, like a mourning concubine.
“Okay, why bother to pretend.” Meng Qi wrote down the list, rubbed his hands, and the piece of paper turned into powder.
Flicking his sleeves again, Meng Qi casually said: “The important people on this list are all far away in Qiantang County. Maybe Huang is your opponent. They are dead. You are only happy. .”
Huang Yang subconsciously wanted to defend, and then reacted, smiling dry and not talking.
Meng Qi glanced at him, feeling more satisfied.
Moli felt strange, and Chuanyin asked Meng Qi how he could see it.
“There are many and mixed people on this list, but whether they are from Ningtai or Qiantang County, they are in charge of the same thing. And these positions, mostly low-ranking officials of the 8th and 9th grades, some The name is very strange, and the yamen where you are located don’t need so many officials…I want to come from the quack, Wang Wu has recruited many such people, and it’s not justified not to give an official position.”
Meng Qi stopped abruptly, looked at Mo Li’s dazed gaze, which he still didn’t understand, and awkwardly said the conclusion: “Don’t avoid this Huang, don’t take the heavyweights. Most of the people on the list are unimportant people. Those who are important, naturally It won’t be the people of the rivers and lakes who pay the salaries in the name. The famous halls here, who have not been in officialdom, will not understand the key points.”
It is not surprising that Huang Yang relied on his identities on both sides of the officialdom to use this method to prevaricate.
“Since they know each other’s identities, there is no need to pretend to be confused.” Meng Qi picked up a piece of paperweight from the book table and played with it.
Don’t say, don’t just wear clothes and materials, but also use the best things.
The ancient and clumsy bamboo pen holder contains a fine piece of tens of taels of silver or even hundreds of taels. The carvings are naturally natural inkstones, the fragrant scent of pine smoke ink, the whole stack of fine rice paper, even Small objects such as pen-washed paperweights do not have a delicate and elegant taste.
It takes a lot of effort to find this table, especially the craftsmanship of Chengni inkstone is gradually lost due to repeated wars in the world, and Songyanmo has been cut down because of the ancient pine, and the number has plummeted in the past 100 years, but this is the case. Both are top grade, and they don’t look like the extraordinarily expensive ancient inkstones and ancient inks.
It is important to know that this kind of thing, as long as it is a little old, the owner is not willing to use it, but is passed on from generation to generation as a treasure.
Apart from these things, Huang Yang’s house has no gold or jade objects, no antiques, and even the large porcelain vases of famous kilns are invisible, and there are no calligraphy and paintings on the walls. The valuable things are probably in the book case and closet, and the clothes are down. After all, people have been paying respect to Luo Chang to watch the dishes these years, but the things on the book case are only afraid that the yamen and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes do not know the value.
For example, this piece of ink jade paperweight.
It looked mediocre, but when I picked it up, I realized that the weight was not light. It seems that the paperweight is a bit too heavy?
Meng Qi did not miss Huang Yang’s sudden nervous look, although the latter quickly concealed the past.
“Doctor look at this, fish-shaped paperweights are quite rare.”
“…”
To be honest, if it weren’t for Meng Qi’s point, Mo Lei really didn’t see that it was a fish.
Although it is a black jade, it is true that there are scaly lines and ripples in the water, but it is too ancient and awkward, like the jade pendant of the Warring States period.
At that time, the jade carving dragon pattern, which looked like a pig, were there. What is it that a fish looks like a pig?
Seeing Mo Li’s disapproval expression, Meng Qi smiled more and more.
Huang Yang has more cold sweat on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and reluctantly said: “The news here is no more convenient than Fengxing Pavilion, but you also know the prestige of Meng Guoshi. The news that the two went to Jiangnan was privately spread a few days ago. Huang is just a small person, of course he knows current affairs.”
There was something in his words, but Meng Qi didn’t ask, so he didn’t follow Huang Yangpu’s path.
“I’m just kidding, what prestige can the old man have if he doesn’t ask the world for many years?”
Huang Yang’s expression was distorted when he heard the words. He probably wanted to put a mirror on Meng Qi’s face so that he could look at the mirror before calling himself an old man.
Mo Carp coughed.
“Well, since you are not willing to give the list, just talk about useful things.” Meng Qi said while playing with the paperweight in his hand: “For example, who is the adviser that King Wu relies on the most? Who is in front of King Wu? The person who speaks the most, Wang Wu has a soft ear. He can’t do a big deal with this problem. There are not many people who make ideas for him. He can’t give birth to much ambition.”
Huang Yang’s expression became more complicated when Meng Qi talked about Wu Wang’s familiar tone.
He is a life-scarce and ambitious. Since the tricks and scheming won’t work, he can only tell the truth if he wants to survive. Huang Yang didn’t know that Meng Qi would not kill him, he was full of minds. All he thinks about is Qiu Si who is unclear about his life and death. The shadow that Qiu Si has brought to him for so many years is too great, and even Qiu Si is defeated right now, and Huang Yang can’t even develop a trace of resistance.
At any rate, Qiu Si has more than a dozen attendants, and every martial arts is as high as him, so he can escape for his life. What luck does he have?
“There are three powers in the land of King Wu, but they rarely fight, because King Wu’s heirs are not prosperous and there is nothing to fight for, so their eyes have been staring outside…”
Huang Yang talked about the important officials of King Wu in one breath, including the famous families of Wudi.
Mo Li listened carefully for a while, and found that the twists and turns and complicated relationships of these families are really a headache. However, there is a very obvious feature in the land of the king of Wu. They are more interested in making money than fighting for power.
Power is important, but if you are not careful, your family will die.
There are so many ways to make money in Qiantang County. When the speed of embezzling the fields is far less than that of opening workshops and Hainan Airlines selling goods, when the workshops are always short of manpower, the people are just like the fields. Become a sought-after item.
Wu Di is very xenophobic. No matter how many opportunities to make money, they are unwilling to share it with others, and foreign businesses will be excluded.
“…They are anxious that Jiangnan will be chaotic. It is best if Qi Chao fights King Jing. King Ning and King Jing fight to the death, so that the people and wealthy people who have little fortune will flee to Wudi. They have money. If you can afford goods, you will be able to write and count if your family is down. Farmers who don’t know how to write are not popular…however they must be people with flexible brains and able to work. Women are even more valued than men. Women will not drink and make trouble. , Can do all kinds of embroidery, seldom make mistakes, and rarely damage goods that require careful treatment due to rough hands and feet. Especially the Wu Wang sent troops to the Shanyi tribe the year before, and many new mountain tea gardens are short of tea pickers. .”
Meng Qi’s eyes brightened as he listened, and a clear smile appeared on his lips.
He is more concerned about what Huang Yang said about the status quo of Wu Land than the idea of the clans taking advantage of the chaos to plunder the population.
It is quite remarkable that aristocrats can give up, even if they give up the annexation of land for a short time.
—Think about it carefully. This is still a unique situation in Wudi. Daheze Liangtian is scattered and difficult to connect into one piece. Besides, there are only small hills and few mountains, and it is impossible to cultivate wasteland. Wudi can produce mulberry, hemp and salt, and various brocade weaving techniques are also good. Even ordinary wealthy households have the habit of opening shops and doing business, instead of thinking of just buying land and becoming a rich man.
“So you are going to provoke King Ning to raise troops?” Meng Qi was in a good mood, and Huang Yang was also pleasing to his eyes.
Huang Yang choked, avoiding seriousness and said lightly: “The plan can’t keep up with the changes. The Holy Lotus Altar has repeatedly reached out to the south of the Yangtze River. It is a pity that there are Xiliang people entrenched on King Jing’s side, and King Ning is the nest of Fengxing Pavilion, and King Wu has also won. Many people from the rivers and lakes didn’t let them succeed. But since the Tianshou King got together with the Holy Lotus Altar, the situation in Yizhou has become urgent, and Mr. Qiu seems to be in secret contact with the Tianshou King, and the people in Wudi are anxious. Up.”
They just want to reap the benefits of the fishermen, and they don’t want to really cause a chaos in the world.
Sacred lotus altar bluffs and deceives the people and rebels. Isn’t this robbing Wu Di?
“There is a news, you may not know yet, King Jing was assassinated.”
Meng Qi stared at Huang Yang and said that the latter was agitated, and blurted out: “Are you from the Heavenly Grant King?”
“There will be no one else except him.” Meng Qi said playfully, “You are also a smart person, so you can do it yourself.”
After making a gesture to Moli, the two of them leaped out the window silently and disappeared for a moment.
Huang Yang opened his mouth and tried to scream, but he held it back again.
He realized that Ning Tai couldn’t stay any longer, he had to leave.
Go to Qiantang County, whether it is planning for the future or avoiding danger, because the army of the Heavenly Grant King is very likely to sweep the south of the Yangtze River like locusts, and the rebellious army lacking silver and food will definitely not be content to plunder Jingzhou.
***
Meng Qi came out of Huang Yang’s yard and passed the first roof ridge, and suddenly stopped, like an eagle falcon suddenly protruding down into the air, and pulled out a black cloth from the dark with a thunderous force. people.
Mo Lei was taken aback, and saw that the figure in black was thin, but his skill was extremely clever.
Suddenly attacked, the man in black tried to break free of Meng Qi’s restraint in a series of three stances. Unfortunately, his stamina was flexible and lacking in internal strength, just like a sparrow caught by a falcon.
Meng Qi didn’t speak. At this moment, the sky was already bright. It’s not a good idea to stay on the roof of Xuncheng’s Yamen for a long time. He followed Moli one after another and came to another place in the east of the city at a very fast speed. In a secluded alley, the people in his hands were thrown heavily on the ground.
The man in black rolled around on the spot, and shrank pitifully against the wall, his eyes fluttering trying to find a way to escape.
Moli frowned slightly. He smelled the faint smell of medicine shop sachets and sweet-scented osmanthus head oil.
“It’s her.”
The woman who squatted on the roof last night, and later chased the shocking mountain tiger who wanted to solve the murder case and left.
Meng Qi noticed the shock and confusion in the eyes of the woman under the black scarf when Moli was talking.
“You, you…”
The woman’s voice sounded faint, but it was also clear and delicate.
Her eyes floated back and forth. At first Mo Li thought she wanted to run, but when the woman’s eyelids were a little cramped, she felt that something was wrong.
Meng Qi is smiling but not smiling.
In the eyes of ordinary people, even though this woman is tightly covered, her pair of cut water pupils are really moving. When she glances at it, her eyelashes droop slightly, and her graceful and graceful attitude is fully revealed. It is a pity that she cast her eyes to Long Mai. Long Mai is blind.
Whether it is to cover only one pair of eyes or half of the face… As long as the whole face is not exposed, it makes no difference in Longmai’s eyes.
The woman also simply pulled off the mask, and whispered softly: “The slave Li Konger, I have no intention of offending the two seniors. I don’t know what kind of advice the seniors have?”
“Li Kong’er?” Suspiciousness suddenly grew in Mo Li’s heart. He hadn’t forgotten the thief Li Kong’er he met in Yongzhou. Why did one appear here too.
Meng Qi smiled directly: “It is not easy for you to maintain the sign of the No. 1 Thief in the world.”
The brothers and sisters of the same generation all walked on the rivers and lakes under the name of Li Konger, and their footprints spread all over the country.
The woman bit her lip and said: “Huang Yang, who visited the city’s Yamen, has a piece of black jade Pisces from the Warring States period. If the two seniors want it too, the slave family will retreat when they know it is difficult.”
The black carp frowned, and the black jade pisces don’t recognize the fish, okay?
Meng Qi unceremoniously exposed her: “If you want to steal something from Huang Don’t drive, why don’t you go into the house while he is away? Didn’t you see people gathering at the door of the ice cellar last night, even if you are watching The excitement is reluctant to go, so how come you ran to chase Jin and catch a group of people, until Mo Yupei’s master came back, did you steal it?”
The woman looked at him in horror, but she couldn’t lie for a while.
“No, Nujia…”
Her eyes began to float again, her expression poignant, tears on her palm-sized face.
It turned out that the two people in front of me were really dead, and there was no response. Li Konger knew that he was not good, and hurriedly lowered his head to argue: “Actually, the slave family knew the news of Pilitang and wanted to sell it to Huang Yang, Wu The people on Wang’s side are always generous.”
As soon as the words before her fell, there was a loud noise in her ears.
The sound is like an ancient alien beast coming out of the soil, the smoke is rolling, the ground is shaking, and nothing can be heard in my ears.
Li Konger’s unlucky reel, his forehead almost hit the blue brick of the alley wall.
“What’s the matter?” Moli stabilized his figure, his expression changed drastically.
Meng Qi, who jumped onto the roof first, looked uglier than Moli, and a section of the city wall collapsed in the distance.
Ningtai City is very large, and the city walls are also very high. It was built by King Ning in the pattern of Taijing. It would not easily collapse no matter how much he thought. Now it is not only collapsed, but also affected three squares and many houses. It was smashed, and there were a lot of ruins, and there were endless cries.
Moli has seen the terrible conditions of earth movement in Qiuling County, but it is now regarded as a man-made disaster.
Li Konger’s face was pale, she got up to run, but was stopped by the murderous Meng Qi.
She fell to the ground with a fright, and said with a trembling: “I don’t know, I don’t know they did it so quickly, no, no… I just saw the people in Pilitang sneakingly when I was stealing things a while ago. Playing around the city wall.”
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, and I saw that the Ningtai city wall was destroyed by about 20 meters long, and I didn’t even think about repairing it in ten and a half months.
