Hearing the speech, Qi Yun immediately stood up from his chair, but quickly sat down again.

But even so, Tiezi could see Qi Yun's shock at that moment.

It's just that for the reason, Qi Yun didn't tell anyone, not even Tiezi, that what Qi Ming lost this time was not just an inkstone and a calligraphy, but a gift from the emperor.

Even if Chu Chengyun gave it as a gift, as long as it was given by his hand, it was a gift from the heavenly family, and of course it could not be thrown away.

Qi Ming would let Liusi come to find himself. I think it was because he cherished the Brotherhood between Chu Chengyun and Chu Chengyun, and kept all the things given by his brother, so naturally he didn't want to lose them, so he came to Qi Yun for help.

But for Qi Yun, this is not just a matter of affection, a bad thing is the disaster of prison.

When ordinary families get a gift from the emperor, they all have to put incense cases, put them in ancestral halls, provide them well, and pass them on to future generations.

The Qi family seemed a little different, and it was not so serious when Chu Chengyun sent it.

Even though the new emperor is far less mysterious to Qi Yun, the long-life lock Qi Yun gave to Qi Yun is still locked with silver, but it does not mean that he can be taken away casually.

But Qi Yun soon figured it out. If he lost it, he lost it. They didn't say, who knows who gave it to him?

However, it is hard to say whether Qi Ming was unlucky to encounter bandits, or that someone was targeting him.

Qi Yun sat in his chair and closed his eyes slightly to calm down.

Tiezi knew that his young master had not used breakfast when he got up early in the morning. now, although Qi Yun's body was not as papery as before, he was weaker than ordinary people, so Tiezi went to serve a bowl of astragalus bass soup that had been prepared for Ye Jiao and handed it to Qi Yun to drink.

After drinking a bowl, Qi Yun was in better spirits, and then he looked at Liushi: "what happened to Saburo? you have to explain it to me in detail."

Liusi is young, and his mouth is not sharp enough, so I'm afraid it's impossible to speak by his mouth alone.

Fortunately, Qi Ming thought of this a long time ago and wrote a letter to Liu Si and brought it here.

Qi Yun took the letter, unfolded it, read it at a glance, and soon understood the whole story.

The letter said that Qi Ming had been studying hard in the academy and finally had a spare time to go out. He wanted to go to the bookstall in the city with a box cage on his back to buy some books, but he met a singing woman on the road, crying that he was being hunted and so on. Look very pitiful.

It's just that even though Qi Ming is young, his brain is not stupid, and he doesn't believe that anyone dares to hunt down a good woman in the street and wants to leave without her.

Who knew that the singing girl seemed to be scared and fainted, so paralyzed on Qi Ming, but the two hands clung to him and Liusi to death.

Just at this time, a group of men dressed in short brown rushed out and snatched Qi Ming's box cage, but Qi Ming and Liusi were entangled by the singing woman and could not get out of the body. they finally struggled away, but there was no sign of those people.

If it was just ordinary gold and silver, if he lost it, he would lose it. After all, he was the one who wanted to do scientific research, and his study was the most important. He really had no time to report to the official, nor did he have time to deal with the lawsuit, but there was something given by his brother Yi, so Qi Ming came to see Qi Yun.

After reading it, Qi Yun knew that his brother had been touched.

The trick used was not brilliant, but people stared at his box cage and wondered what they thought.

It's just that, after all, Qi Ming lost something and was cheated. Afraid that his brother would not explain the matter clearly, Qi Yun put the letter aside and looked at Liusi and said, "if I ask you, all you have to do is say yes and no." if you want me to help my third brother, tell the truth. "

Liu Si stood there obediently and nodded when he heard the speech.

Qi Yun drank another bowl of fish soup, and then said in a deep voice, "is the girl he's talking about a real stranger, or is he in some kind of romantic debt that makes other women come to her door?"

Liu Si was stupefied at first, then he blushed, shook his head again and again, and folded his mouth and said, "No.". "

"well, then tell me again, does the third brother have a grudge against anyone recently?"

After thinking about it for six times, he shook his head and said, "No."

The third young master stays in the academy every day and has no chance to hold a grudge.

Qi Yun said, "think again. When those people rushed out to grab the box cage, did they just stare at Saburo or at others?"

Liu Si immediately said, "only, there are only three young masters." His voice paused. "in fact, those people wanted to hurt the third or third young master, but. I picked up the woman, and when I ran away in a hurry, I lost my box and cage. "

Six thoughts in the end is not in the matter, but also really see, and in the panic Qi Ming is actually confused, do not remember things clearly, many details are also asked six thoughts to get.

In this matter, Liu Si hid it from Qi Ming and only told him that those people were trying to rob things.

Liusi is afraid that telling the truth will scare the third young master. Now he is going to take a local examination. It is really troublesome in case his restlessness affects the scientific research.

When Qi Yun heard the words, he knew the worry of Liusi, and he was glad that his silly brother had a reliable companion for reading, so he asked Tiezi to move a seat for Liusi and gave him a bowl of fish soup.

After Qi Yun thought about it, there was no doubt on his face, but he only whispered, "sure enough, it was aimed specifically at Saburo."

What to sell singing girls, what to rob in the street, is only other people's plan, in the end, it is only for Qi Sanlang.

As for whether it was still aimed at the Qi family, Qi Yun was not sure, but most of it had something to do with it.

If it is said that the last time Qi Ming was pushed off a cliff by the Cai family in order to grab the place in the county examination, today it seems to have no beginning and no end.

And those who dare to do such a thing are not ordinary people. There are many Yamen in the city, and the Yamen that knows the state is there. These people dare to make trouble in broad daylight in the city, unless they are deceived by lard, or there is someone behind them.

If it is the latter, then more and more can not let go gently, always know who did it in order to prevent, otherwise recognized this time, there will always be a second and third time.

Saburo is young and has to take a local test right away, so it is impossible to break a finger.

So Qi Yun immediately said to Tiezi, "take Liusi down the mountain, and now go to the magistrate Yamen to find Shi Zhixian, talk to him about this, and ask him to help find out who is behind the scenes."

Tiezi hesitated for a moment and said, "second young master, will the magistrate ignore it?"

Even if Qi Yun did not explain it, Tiezi could tell that this was not unusual.

Even though Shi Tianrui is a county magistrate, he is only a seven-grade sesame official in the end. I'm afraid he won't dare to answer it.

Qi Yun said, "Don't worry, he will help."

Facing the gold plaque, Qi Yun did not believe that Shi Tianrui would ignore it.

But the real reason for Shi Tianrui to take this case is not because of the imperial plaque, but because Ye Jiao saved his daughter's life.

Zheng told Shi Tianrui about Folan, and the roll call had something to do with an adult in the capital.

As for the concubine room, it had died suddenly as a result of accidental ingestion of Folan, and it was cold when it was found.

Shi Tianrui had already experienced the foolishness and malice of this cousin's concubine room, and it was hard for her to get married. Shi Tianrui just kept it in the house, but in fact she never touched it. When she died, Shi Tianrui was sad for two days and didn't think about it any more, but he cherished his daughter very much.

Ye Jiao can recognize Folan, is to save his daughter's life, Shi Tianrui should repay.

When Tiezi found him, Shi Tianrui agreed and sent a capable officer to investigate, and the result was obtained in less than two days.

Because of Ye Jiao's kindness, Shi Tianrui personally went.

When he went up the mountain to find Qi Yun, Qi Yun and Ye Jiao were coaxing Xubao together.

Although Xubao likes to laugh and has a good temper, he is very lazy.

Can sit without standing, really can not lie down in place, motionless can stay for a long time.

If he was chubby and cute when he was a child, but when he grew up, Qi Yun was afraid that he would always be so lazy that it would affect his growth, so he often thought of ways to make his little chubby move and take a walk.

Feed with milk cakes today and coax with cloth balls tomorrow.

It's just that these methods are very effective for cats and dogs, but they often fail for Xubao.

Little Xubao made up his mind that his parents loved him so much that even if he didn't move, he wouldn't starve himself, so the couple had to think of other ways to coax him.

Up to now, the best way to use it is to study.

So when Shi Tianrui entered the door, he saw Ye Jiao and Qi Yun sitting on both sides of the soft couch, with Xubao giggling and walking back and forth with short legs.

When he came to Qi Yun's side, Qi Yun said, "if you don't teach meticulously, sex will change."

When he went to Ye Jiao's side, the little ginseng turned his head and stared at the book and read: "the way of teaching is expensive and professional."

When Shi Tianrui looked at it, he could not help laughing and said, "it is admirable that Mr. Qi and his wife have taught their children well."

When Ye Jiao saw someone coming in, she reached out and held Xu Bao in her arms, patted the little guy on the back, and said, "Xiao Su, serve tea to Shi Zhi County."

Shi Tianrui smiled and Ye Jiao saw the ceremony, while his eyes looked at Qi Yun.

Qi Erlang stood up, touched the top of Xubao's hair, and then went to the main hall with Shi Tianrui to sit down.

Even if he lost his gift from the emperor, Qi Yun was not restless every day. He also asked Qi Mingan to study hard and review, and don't think about anything else.

If you are in a hurry and can't find anything, you might as well live your own life and wait for the result.

Now when Shi Tianrui came, Qi Yun had tea with him and said some polite words, and then asked, "I don't know what the result was when I asked Shi Zhixian last time."

Shi Tianrui left the tea and said to Qi Yun, "Yes, I sent someone to investigate that singing girl. She has been redeemed by the Shao family, bought the deed and became Shao Jiagulang's concubine room."

Shao family?

Upon hearing this surname, Qi Yun slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "I think my third brother's box cage can be found."

"I'm afraid not." Shi Tianrui whispered, "Shao Wulang was seen earlier in the mansion of Shao Zhizhou and took a box wrapped in red cloth. He thought he was going to give gifts."

As usual, it is not unusual for relatives to move around each other, which is not a big deal.

But the front foot from Qi Sanlang here got a good inkstone, and a purple pen, these are excellent things, the back foot carried the box to the Yamen, it is difficult not to associate.

As for the book mentioned by Qi Yun, Shi Tianrui didn't take it seriously at all.

In his opinion, compared with Duan inkstone and purple pen, that book is not worth much, nor is it worth being nervous.

Who knew that Qi Yun's expression suddenly relaxed and his eyebrows spread out.

From the beginning, he never wanted to get it back. All Qi Yun wanted to know was who had targeted Qi Ming.

Now it is enough to know that the Shao family is enough. if the person who hides in the dark and makes the bad man come to the bright side, then there will naturally be a solution.

It's not easy to push a family, but you can try to get rid of a family.

Qi Yun has quietly pulled out several obstacles to himself before, but if he plans more this time, there will always be a way.

However, Qi Yun thought again that his fingertips slipped on the edge of the tea and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth: "I originally thought that if I lost something, I would lose it, but now it seems that there is a good chance of getting it back."

Shi Tianrui had some doubts and couldn't help asking, "what does it mean?"

Qi Yun didn't say it clearly, but he just smiled, but he thought to himself that the imperial plaque had been placed in the state government for two months. think that Lord Shao should have seen it over and over again.

Now, let's see if Shao Goro will send loyal posters to Zhizhou adults together.

If he didn't give it back, he just thought it was a good thing to feed the dog, and he would think of a way later, but if he gave it to him, his Saburo's things must be recovered.

Shao Wulang is indeed loyal, but he is not loyal to Shao Zhizhou, but loyal to silver.

Shao Wulang is well aware of the reason why the Shao family can walk sideways in the city.

It is not that their business skills are so superb, nor is it because the Shao family's ancestors have much merit, just because they have a relative who knows the state.

This one is enough.

And this Zhizhou adult is not the kind of upright official who cannot splash water into the needle or insert it. Shao rarely refuses to accept the things sent by the Shao family. Shao Wulang will give him good things when he gets them. He will naturally give some benefits to his family when they are ripe.

This time, Shao Wulang got the good things in the cage of Qi Ming's box, and the first thing that came to mind was to send it to the capital of Zhizhou.

But when Shao Wulang went, there was no sign of knowing the state from dawn until dark, and the tea in the cup was changed over and over again, and the drink was tasteless before he finally saw Shao Zhizhou.

Shao Zhizhou was a thin, bright-eyed man with a goat beard. Just looking at it, he felt that he was a stern man.

As soon as he came out at this moment, he frowned coldly at Shao Wulang, and his voice dropped an octave: "what a good thing you have done!"

Shao Wulang was startled, immediately bounced out of his chair, and then fell to his knees with a plop.

Shao Zhizhou did not look flattered at all. With a cold hum, he sat down and whispered, "Don't be an official who didn't know what happened in the street two days ago. You really have the courage to think that you have done it flawlessly?"

Shao Wulang was stupefied for a moment and soon figured out that what was strange about Shao Zhizhou was not that they attacked in the street, but that they did not clean their tails. He hurriedly bowed his head and said, "my Lord, this …". I don't know what went wrong. "

Shao Zhizhou snorted again: "all the people in Shiji County have found you. Even if your subordinates have not talked about it everywhere, there are so many pedestrians on the road, and you have found a well-known celebrity. How can you stop other people's mouths?"

Shao Gorang sweated on his head and immediately fell to the ground.

After a long time, Shao Zhizhou said, "fortunately, Shizhixian is silent, and the Qi family is quiet. I think it is because the official's face is different from yours, but there is no second time for this kind of thing. Your head will be clearer in the future. Remember?"

"remember it." Knowing that there was nothing wrong, Shao Wulang quickly smiled, then got up again and put the box he had brought in front of Shao Zhizhou. "my Lord, this is really my fault. I have frightened you. This is my gift of reparations, and I hope the adults will accept it with a smile."

Shao Zhizhou naturally heard about the gift brought by Shao Gorang, and he could guess that the objects inside belonged to Qi Sanlang.

He did not want to take it, but looking at Shao Gorang's gallant appearance, he felt that it should be a rarity, so he nodded faintly and asked people to remove the red cloth.

When he opened the box, Shao Zhizhou fixed his eyes on that side of the inkstone at first sight.

This Duan inkstone is the best of the inkstone, and this side is the best of the best, otherwise Chu Chengyun would not have given it to Qi Yun solemnly.

As long as he is a scholar, he can walk without moving at a glance.

As soon as Shao Zhizhou's eyes lit up, he reached out and picked it up.

But soon he saw the purple pen next to the inkstone.

This purple pen is also excellent. It is made of hairs on the back of the wild mountain rabbit neck. The color is purple and black, and the pen made of rabbit hair from the northern border is the most soft and precious.

And this one was brought by the caravan from outside the customs, and since it can be given away by Qi Yun, of course it would be best to use it.

Even if you just put it there, you can see that it is of excellent quality.

Shao Zhizhou's eyes were straight, and even though he knew in his heart that he could not take these things, he could not restrain his hand from reaching out there.

But before he could touch the purple pen, he saw another cloth bag.

The cloth bag was dark blue and looked plain, but an ear fell under the rope used to seal the bag.

The color of red and green was given to Qi Ming by Ye Jiao before.

Since it was something given by his sister-in-law, Qi Ming of course cherished it very much. he should not only use it well, but also carry it with him. In the end, he chose to put it on his own cloth bag, which not only achieved his respect for Ye Jiao, but also put it well in the box so that no one else could see it.

And the ear was so dazzling and eye-catching that Shao Zhizhou unconsciously picked up the bag: "what is this?"

Shao Wulang said hurriedly: "it's this book, and I can't tell the good from the bad. It's just for adults to distinguish."

Shao Zhizhou pretentiously nodded, then opened the bag and took out the words inside.

After flipping through it a little bit, felt that there was nothing strange about it.

But just then, he turned to the title page.

Shao Zhizhou's hand came to a standstill as soon as the eight words on it came into view.

He stared at the words over and over again, and then he suddenly began to shake.

First the fingertips trembled, then the arms trembled, and finally, the whole person froze.

Shao Wulang was startled and thought Shao Zhizhou had had a stroke.

But before he cried out, Shao Zhizhou staggered to the backyard with the book in his hand.

Shao Wulang hurriedly followed, and then saw Shao Zhizhou enter a room. When he lit a candle and followed him, he saw that there were some sundries in the room. There was nothing rare, but the most conspicuous was a plaque covered with red cloth in the middle of the room.

"your excellency, this is. Ouch! " Shao Wulang went forward to want to say something, but was kicked by Shao Zhizhou.

Shao Zhizhou carefully held the book, freed a hand, and shakily opened the red cloth covered with the plaque.

Write four big words-Zhigao Xingjie.

This plaque is to be given to the Qi family, and Shao Zhizhou stayed in the mansion for two months in order to ask for benefits. He thought that the Qi family was just a merchant's family, and even if the emperor gave the plaque, it was nothing.

But now think about it, these four words are not to describe merchants, but to describe noble people, the emperor gave these four words, is not, the Qi family of the so-called merchants to get rid of the gas?

The key is not in this meaning, but in this word.

Shao Zhizhou trembled and held up the calligraphy and looked at the eight words on it.

The night curtains fight the hardships, and they are determined to work tirelessly.

Look at the plaque, and then look at the words, back and forth several times, Shao Zhizhou finally saw clearly

The word "Zhi" is, unexpectedly, exactly the same.

As like as two peas!

Shao Zhizhou was black in front of his eyes and softened at his feet. unexpectedly, he collapsed on the ground and fainted.
