Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun narrowed 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 ferociously, 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 clap your hands."

Xu Ming'er didn't cooperate at all, she stretched out a slender finger, gently moved Xia Xun's big iron fist aside, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't pretend, it's no fun to pretend anymore gone."

Xia Xun's fist was like a punctured ball, hanging limply: "Not only have I lost a lot of weight, but I also have a big beard. How did you recognize it?"

"You put me down first, okay?"

"Oh!"

It was only then that Xia Xun realized that he was still holding her against the wall by her collar, and hurriedly put her down, subconsciously wanting to help her tidy up her messy skirt, but before her hands touched her chest, she After being slapped hard by Xu Ming'er, seeing the little girl's shy look, Xia Xun came to his senses and couldn't help smiling embarrassingly.

"Want to know how I recognized you? It's very simple."

Xu Ming'er said slowly, "Actually, I didn't recognize you at all, it's just that you look familiar."

Xia Xun was already regretting hearing this.

Xu Ming'er said again: "If I ran up to you, pointed at your nose and asked if you were Yang Xu, and you denied it outright, and put on a look of astonishment, then I wouldn't doubt you .I just had nothing to do, I went ashore and followed me to have 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 were the one who caught me. You didn't fight when it was time to fight, and you looked at me so strangely. If I still don'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 an enemy, believe that I won't harm you, right?"

Xia Xun rubbed her nose, and said helplessly, "You majestic princess, why are you pretending to be like this? Now that you are missing, the Zhongshan Palace may be in a hurry, why don't you go back quickly?"

Xu Ming'er said: "No! It's fine if I didn't see you. Now that I saw you, how can I tell you to go away like this?"

Xia Xun turned bitter 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 right now, you have to help me!"

Xia Xun looked around, pulled her up and said, "It's not safe here, I'm about to search it, talk while walking."

Xu Ming'er walked beside him, told the whole story, and finally said: "My elder brother forced me to marry, but I don't want to marry. I promise to keep it a secret, you have to promise me, if my elder brother pushes me hard, 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, as if there is nothing in the dragon's pond and tiger's den, is it not difficult to save a little girl?"

Xia Xun's heart moved, and he thought of Shuangyu Island unexpectedly. If the little princess really wanted to leave, it would be a very safe place to send her there, but...

Xia Xun thought of this and said, "Princess, it's easy to save you, but the court and King Yan have reached this point. If you suddenly disappear, no matter where you go, the court will assume that you have taken refuge in Yan." His Royal Highness, has the princess ever thought about this pair of Zhongshan Palace..."

"I thought about it!"

Xu Ming'er said seriously: "The imperial court has long been on guard against my Xu family in every possible way. If I leave, the Xu family will no longer be able to command soldiers. What else can I do? Holding power is so important?"

She stood still and looked at Xia Xun. Under the moonlight, her small face was very serious: "For the safety of my family, I, Xu Ming'er, am not afraid to sacrifice myself; but I will not sell myself for the black yarn on my elder brother's head. Three Brother is doing more dangerous things than me, he can have his choice, why can't I, just because I am a daughter's family?"

Xia Xun looked at her in surprise, because she changed into a man's clothes, looking like a half-child, 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, At the beginning, the cute little girl who was dressed in fluffy white and looked like a little white rabbit has really grown up now, and she already has her own ideas.

Xia Xun also became serious, and promised like an adult: "Okay! I promise you, once Wei Guogong forces you to marry, I will help you leave!"

Xu Ming'er had just burst into a smile when a team of inspectors ran past the alley yelling and chasing a person in the distance. Xia Xun hurriedly made a gesture, and the two continued on their way.

"By the way, I have one more thing."

"You said."

"What you told me at the beginning, I have already told the third brother. But, he didn't take it seriously..."

Xu Ming'er was very embarrassed and said: "I know, such a request... It's a bit difficult for you, but I'm 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 happens It's over, and if you can help..." The little girl was reasonable and didn't force Xia Xun to promise her anything.

Xia Xun's heart moved, and he suddenly thought that his secret spy organization hadn't opened up the door at the upper level, could Xu Zengshou be absorbed in it?

But he quickly dismissed this idea for no other reason, because Xu Zengshou is the brother-in-law of King Zhu Di of Yan and the younger brother of Princess Yan.If you want to make up his mind, you don't even need to instigate rebellion.The problem is, if something happens to him because of this, who can guarantee that the big family behind him will not blame him?

What's more, because of his relatives with Yan Wang Zhu Di, he hardly has any chance to participate in the military aircraft now. The information he can get is limited, and the mission of Jin Yiwei is to detect major crimes of betraying the monarch. This function of Jin Yiwei only retained their Yiluan Division, but Luo Kedi never gave up on this sacred mission.

If he sent decent people to monitor Xu Laosan's every move and contacted him himself, wouldn't it be..., the benefit and contribution are too disproportionate.Thinking of this, Xia Xun dismissed his original thoughts and just nodded slightly.

Xu Ming'er became happy, stared at him and said, "Yang Xu, thank you!"

Xia Xun smiled. Just as she was about to be polite, Xu Ming'er seemed to think of something again, and whispered "Ah", and said, "By the way, I have one more thing!"

Xia Xun's face was pulled up like a bun: "Miss, are you finished?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Jin Yiwei commanded Si Yamen.

Luo Kedi sat cross-legged, quietly looking at the three people in front of him.

Liu Yujue said: "The lowly position has already been checked. Someone picked up a few copies of the 'report' issued by the Ministry of Rites to the Jinshi, boarded the ship for a banquet under a false identity, and secretly distributed the stickers by the plane. It's just... After the officials of the Ministry of Rites found out, Panicked, worried that the situation would become serious, so they quickly confiscated the posters, canceled the poetry reception, and sent people ashore, so that...they could not be investigated 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 embarrassingly: "My lord, I only got these few stickers. Originally, I saw a person who behaved very strangely. Suspicious, I wanted to detain him for questioning. It's just that...he fled all the way, deliberately causing many troubles, and the police from Yingtianfu and Wucheng Bingmasi randomly arrested people, and in the end...he took advantage of the chaos to escape gone."

Luo Kedi stretched out his hand with a cold face, and Chen Dong hurriedly handed over the stickers.

Luo Kedi took it in his hand and didn't look at the content. He just twisted the paper lightly. The paper was slightly yellow and the surface was a little rough. This is bamboo paper made of bamboo tendons and grass tendons. The most commonly used printing paper.

And that character was engraved and printed. Looking at the shape and strokes, it should be the Zhao style of Zhao Mengfu, a great calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty. "Calligraphy, this is the most popular printing style in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties.

"The most common paper, the most common printing font, trying to find its source is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. It seems that the other party is very careful!"

Luo Kedi stretched out a finger, rubbed it against the paper, then stretched it out to take a closer look, and said, "This is Songyanmo! Yujue, go check it out!"

Liu Yujue bowed and said, "I 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 handwriting of the engraving block is also the most popular Zhao style among the people. It is not easy to check. However, most of the smoke and ink in each printing workshop are made by themselves. Whether the smoke ink is dark or light, there will always be some differences. I plan to start from this aspect, find out the printing houses that use similar ink, and then check them one by one, there is always a chance to catch him."

At that time, oil fume ink and pine smoke ink were mainly used for printing. Oil smoke ink was not easy to manufacture and was expensive. Most of the books used by the people were still pine smoke ink.The so-called pine smoke is burned with pine wood, scraped off the black ash on the chimney, then mixed with flour to make a paste, and then prepared with wine vinegar and other secret recipes, buried and fermented. This kind of ink is like lacquer and does not change color for a long time , the longer it lasts, the more fragrant it is; it has a mothproof effect on printing plates and books, and the paper will not shrink during printing, and the ink will not pick up the paper.Most of the ink printed by each bookstore is made by themselves, and dozens of large tanks are often buried in the backyard of the bookstore to ferment the ink.Liu Yujue is a scholar, and he knows this kind of thing very well.

Luo Kedi stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said: "Yanmo itself is just one thing to check, and one more thing is time."

Liu Yujue was startled for a moment, puzzled, and bowed his head and said, "Please advise, my lord."

Luo Kedi said: "This place is at the foot of the Son of Heaven. Those who have a family and a business are very difficult to be attracted by them so quickly. Therefore, their eyes and ears can only be installed in Jinling City recently. If this is the case, they It is too late to make their own ink. The pine smoke ink has to be buried in the ground for at least three years before it can be used. They can only buy it from others.

Therefore, time is the most important clue.You first list all the newly established printing houses, study rooms, and even the Four Treasures Stores in Jinling City that have just changed owners within half a year, and then check the traces of smoke and ink with their published and printed materials.Use time to lock the scope of the interrogation; use ink to lock suspicious people, huh? "

Liu Yujue said sincerely, "Yes!"

Luo Kedi waved his hand, and the three quickly retreated.

Luo Kedi put his hands on his knees, was silent for a while, and then smiled softly: "Yang Xu, are you here?"
