Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 235 Fanfare

But it was said that Li Weijian had just returned to his home, so Wu Haining quietly came over and said in a low voice: "Master, Accountant Hu went to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion at noon and just came back now."

Li Weijian ordered: "I know, watch carefully to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Wu Haining retreated in response. Li Weijian passed through the ceremonial door and headed to the inner house. This time he made a dangerous plan and the last link was perfectly closed.

It's not a big crime for him to lose things in his own house, but it's obviously a big crime for Jia Rong to collude with his servants to steal the Li family map. King Zhongshun had always been incompatible with the Jia family, so how could he give up such a good opportunity? I'm afraid the impeachment memorial will be written out by now.

Especially if this is the case, the culpability of Rong Guofu cannot yet be determined. The last link is the weapon that breaks through the times. It just so happened that Li Weijian had already created it!

Primer technology requires the support of the chemical industry. To put it bluntly, it requires sulfuric acid to produce nitric acid in large quantities. But if it was only made in small quantities, the ancients would have discovered the method early on.

Li Weijian also used a trick this time. Heating green alum at high temperature and pouring it into water can obtain dilute sulfuric acid. After heating and concentrating, the sulfuric acid is less volatile and concentrated sulfuric acid is obtained. Then it was logical and natural to create a primer.

However, this primer uses a single ingredient and is extremely unstable. If it is accidentally dropped on the ground, it will explode. As for the bolt-action rifle shown in the missing picture, that is even more nonsense. It would be great if Dashun could popularize this rifle in his lifetime.

The chemical industry cannot keep up, and the materials cannot keep up. As a result, even if the gun barrel is made of steel, it is just ordinary steel. It lacks manganese and chromium additions, and the rifling is extremely wear-resistant. Basically, it will be scrapped after a few hundred rounds. But so what? Dashun firearms are not afraid of wind and rain, and are enough to sweep the world.

Now that Dashun and Junggar are competing, the saint is always thinking about eradicating Junggar, a serious trouble in his heart. The previous time King Zhongyong narrowly survived because of heavy rain, now Li Weijian brought out this epoch-making primer, and the court could not overemphasize it.

If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. Li Weijian has never spoken to the women around him about the plot against Ningguo Mansion. Qingwen is a person who does not rub dirt in his eyes. I am afraid that now he feels that it is all because of her that Lai Shangwen When I entered the house, I felt guilty.

If his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, said this, although Li Wan would not be able to refuse, he would still be determined. However, the old lady has been treating Li Wan very well since she came here. After Jia Zhu's death, he sympathized with the difficulties of being an orphan and a widowed mother, and gave her a first-class monthly salary.

Because of this, the seriousness of Ningguo Mansion’s guilt becomes more and more prominent! Not to mention whether Jia Zhen can escape, at least Jia Rong is dead.

Now that he met Li Weijian, Li Wan no longer thought about the Jia family, and quickly asked his brother: "Brother Jian, does it matter what the picture looks like? Brother Zhen personally led people to look for it. The foreign monk seemed to have gained the trust. Now No one was ever found.”

While they were talking, Qianxue suddenly came in and said with a strange expression: "Master, Grandma Lai from Rongguo Mansion wants to see you."

Qingwen immediately became angry: "You are so shameless! His grandson did such a shameful thing, and now he dares to come to your door to ask for help? No see! I have repaid the huge kindness, and I will never do it again. What do you owe Laijia!"

At that moment, he explained the matter in a few words, and Fu Qiufang immediately became angry: "At least we are still close, how could such a thing come out?"

At this time, it was getting dark, and Li Weijian came forward and said, "Why is eldest sister here at this moment?"

Qingwen cried: "Why don't you blame me? Unless Grandma Lai is praying to God, I won't be soft-hearted and mention it to Fourth Master. If I don't mention it, how could such a thing happen?"

"Yes!" Qian Xue agreed, then turned around and ordered people to drive out Grandma Lai who came by car.

Qianxue knew that her uncle regarded this eldest sister as a biological sister, and Jia Zhen was the head of the Ningguo Mansion, so she first led Jia Zhen to the side hall to sit for a while, and then led Li Wan into the inner house. She sent the maid in first to show off, and just after entering the third door, Li Weijian, Fu Qiufang, Qingwen and others came out to welcome her.

Li Weijian also said with a stern face: "A slave who dominates the Rongguo Mansion relying on his master's favor, now he dares to come to my house to take care of his family? Drive him out! When did our family have any dealings with such an ignorant slave? "

After Hongyu finished speaking, Qingwen cried harder. Li Weijian couldn't bear it. He reached out his hand to call Qingwen over and said in a low voice: "Don't cry anymore. What do Jia Rong and Lai Shangwen have to do with you? Besides, Lai Shangwen came into the house that day. It was also the master. I nodded. of."

Li Weijian shook his head and said, "I told Ningguo Mansion that Jia Zhen gave Jia Rong a beating. Now I should go look for Ba Duoming."

Grandma Lai, Lai Sheng, and Lai Sheng's daughter-in-law saw they were thrown out, and it suddenly dawned on them that they were respected and respected by others in the Jia family, but who except the Jia family knew someone named Lai? Mother and son discussed it. Lai Shangwen was his grandson and had to be rescued. This matter had to be blamed on Jia Mu.

With such kindness, Li Wan had no choice but to agree and immediately followed Jia Zhen to Li Weijian's home.

Having made up his mind, he hurriedly walked back. Qianxue had just sent away the Lai family, and was teaching the two disciples a lesson when suddenly two more carriages came from a distance, and this time they came back with Jia Zhen and Li Wan.

He just thought about it and stepped into the main room, where he saw Fu Qiufang, Xiang Ling and others comforting Qingwen, who was in pear blossoms and raining rain.

Hongyu also said: "Uncle Zhen has always been careless. He only cares about his own happiness. He beats and scolds Jia Rong. How can I teach my son like this? He looks like an enemy. This is not upright. How can the lower beam not be crooked? Fortunately, I am only related to Rong Guofu. If we really have a relative like Ning Guofu, we may cause a lot of trouble in the future. "

How could Li Wan not come? Two characters of Jia cannot be written in one stroke. The two houses of Ning and Rong are connected with each other. The stakes are so high. How can Mother Jia not save her? Seeing Jia Zhen begging like this, Jia Mu thought for a while and had no choice but to ask Li Wan for help.

Li Weijian couldn't feel relieved at the moment, so he could only come in with a calm face and a frown. Fu Qiufang hurriedly came over and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

Li Weijian was secretly happy. It would be better if he couldn't be found. It would be better if he didn't see anyone alive or dead, so that he could be blamed for Ning Guo Mansion. Thinking like this, he nodded with a wry smile and said, "That picture doesn't look good enough to spread."

Li Wan frowned and said, "This...if we can't find him, will Brother Jian be held responsible?"

Li Weijian thought to himself: "Maybe I should reprimand him?"

Rebuke, reprimand? Li Wan was familiar with this matter. Her father, Li Shouzhong, had always been reprimanded by saints before resigning.

"It's great and I'll fine you some more salary." Li Weijian added.

Li Wan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Jian, just don't bear the blame. Brother Rong is really unreasonable. After all, they are related to each other. How could there be no reason for the plot to be blamed on Brother Jian?" "

Li Weijian knew that his eldest sister Li Wan was not a nosy person. It was not because of Jia Mu's intervention, the eldest sister would definitely not come to the door now. Immediately, he hurriedly let Li Wan into the main room. Without waiting to sit down, Li Wan said: "Brother Zhen just came to see the old lady, and the old lady discussed it with me... Brother Jian also knows that the old lady has always treated me well. I It’s hard to refuse, because I came here in a hurry, and I also thought that if something like this happens, I won’t implicate Brother Jian.”

After a pause, he continued: "Since Brother Jian is not involved much, then I'm relieved. This...just now the old lady asked, can Brother Jian be given more time? Brother Zhen is also here. , He only said that we will find Naba Duoming within three days and return the picture intact."

Li Weijian pretended to be serious and said: "As soon as possible. Sister, please tell the old lady and Brother Zhen clearly. This picture involves a new type of firearm. If this thing is obtained outside the country, it will definitely bring disaster to my fortune!"

Li Wan was startled: "How do you say this?"

Li Weijian said: "This new type of firearm is not afraid of wind and rain. My eldest sister has read the Di newspaper and knows that in the previous battle of Qinghai, if there had been continuous wind and rain, the officers and soldiers would not have been surrounded by Dace Ling. If Dashun had been at that time, The officers and soldiers are equipped with these new firearms, so how could they be surrounded? Not to mention Xiao Ce Ling, even Great Ce Ling is now a withered skeleton in the grave!"

"So powerful?" Li Wan naturally believed it in his heart. After all, his brother Li Weijian has been ahead of others and his practical academic achievements are unparalleled. Since Brother Jian said that this new firearm is powerful, it must be powerful.

Although she didn't know how much tactical innovation the weapon change would bring about, she also knew that this matter was of great importance, so she said immediately: "Brother Jian, don't worry, I will make it clear to the old lady."

Li Weijian sighed: "I'm so upset right now that I can't see Brother Zhen. Can you please tell me something? It's not that I, Li Weijian, are stingy, but the stakes are really high. If the Japanese army is not equipped with new firearms in the future, there will be trouble outside the country." There are rumors that the court will definitely investigate me."

Li Wan immediately said: "In any case, this matter is not Brother Jian's fault. At most, Brother Zhen will be given three days to live. When the three days are over, Brother Jian should report the matter to the Yamen as soon as possible. You can't do it because of it. Use your relatives who are beyond your reach to help you get involved!"

Li Weijian ironed the post with his heart in mind, showed his face and said: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I know what's going on."

Li Wan came in a hurry and left even more urgently. After finishing the matter, he stood up and left without hesitation. He went to the side hall in the front yard to talk to Jia Zhen, and the two of them immediately returned to Rongguo Mansion.

When we arrived at De Rongguo Mansion, it was already dark. Jia Zhen begged Jia Mu and always had to talk to the old lady afterwards. Immediately, he followed Li Wan to Rongqing Hall, turned around the screen and entered. Seeing Aunt Lai wiping her tears and begging in front of Jia Mu, Jia Zhen suddenly became angry!

He yelled and scolded: "Old man! It's not your grandson's fault. How could my family suffer such a disaster? Do you still have the nerve to go to the old lady and ask for help? Do you really think that you are your master?"

Aunt Lai was startled, and immediately knelt down and cried: "What Uncle Zhen said, how could I ever think of myself as my master? Besides, Brother Rong forced Shang Wen to do that..."

Jia Zhen is used to being unruly at home, how can she reason with a nanny? At noon, Li Weijian stopped him, and his own son Jia Rong was killed by him, let alone a nanny?

Immediately, anger arose in her heart. Jia Zhen stepped forward and kicked Aunt Lai in the chest. Aunt Lai screamed and fell to the ground. Aunt Lai is about the same age as Jia Mu, how can she survive this attack? Immediately there was blood at the corner of his mouth and he fainted.

Jia Zhen refused to give up and scolded: "You old man who has taken advantage of your heart and courage, how dare you deny it when your master speaks? If you don't teach me a lesson today, I'm afraid you will rebel!"

As she was about to lift her foot again, Jia Mu hurriedly shouted: "Stop it quickly, don't let anyone die!"

At that moment, Jia Lian and Jia She stepped forward and hurriedly stopped Jia Zhen. Another maid stopped in front of Grandma Lai, and the old guy just escaped.

Jia Zhen calmed down her anger and immediately bowed to Jia's mother and said, "Old lady, this junior has lost his composure."

Jia Mu sighed, not knowing what to say. It happened that the elder Jia She was confused, so he said at this moment: "Brother Jian is a relative of ours. Although I am annoyed, it can be discussed easily. This matter may not be something that cannot be suppressed..."

Li Wan, who had just returned, his eyelids twitched and he said hurriedly: "I'm afraid what I said is wrong."

Jia Mu hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, what did Brother Jian say?"

Li Wan hurriedly repeated what Li Weijian said, and then said: "If the foreign countries are equipped with such sharp weapons first, Brother Jian will definitely be held responsible for his crimes in the future. The old lady also knows that people with connections abroad can be familiar with the enemy. , this is the crime of confiscating a house and exterminating a family. Brother Jian, can you not be anxious?

Brother Jian can hide it for two or three days, but if he really can't find the picture, he may have no choice but to report it to the official. "

Jia Zhen, a rare understanding person in the Jia family, let out a long sigh after hearing this. Suddenly I thought of my deceased daughter-in-law Qin Keqing, and I wondered why it was not my biological son Jia Rong who died that day? What a wonderful daughter-in-law...

After listening to Li Wan's words, the eldest master Jia She knew the relationship. He immediately said with a stern face: "Brother Zhenrong, Zhenrong is really out of shape...Brother Zhen, don't think about it anymore. With all the people in the government scattered, we have to find Naba Duoming first."

At present, the manpower of the two mansions were gathered together, and hundreds of servants dispersed. Jia Zhen, Jia Qiang, Jia She, and Jia Lian each led the team. Only the master Jia Zheng could not help, so he could only say nothing.

The whole night of searching didn't stop until the curfew. Hundreds of servants were surprised to find no trace of Naba Domin.

After everyone returned, Mr. Jia Zheng just said worriedly: "If our family is so grand, if it falls into the eyes of someone with intentions... I'm afraid it will be another difficulty."

Jia Zhen was so desperate that she wanted to kill Jia Rong and Lai Shangwen immediately because they didn't say a word. The elder Jia She blinked, and when he thought about it, he suddenly became angry: "Since the second brother knows, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Jia Zheng said sarcastically: "I just mentioned this matter to a group of Qing guests, and then I remembered this incident."

By now, it's too late to say anything! How could the Ningrong and Rongfu not fall into the eyes of King Zhongshun if they mobilized troops and mobilized people like this?

The Jia family had no sleep that night, and people started looking for him again, so he didn't mention it.

Imperial City.

Dai Quan, the great eunuch, shouted: "The sage has spoken, if anything happens, report it early, but if nothing happens, return to court~"

As soon as he finished speaking, a green-robed civil servant came out of the crowd and said, "I, Qiu Yu, have my roots!"
