Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 228 Don't Move, Don't Come Out
"A whore?"

Hu Qian couldn't believe his ears.

The source of information for the dignified Daqian Dynasty turned out to be a prostitute, and she was also the commander of the Jinyiwei.

If Shen Lian hadn't said this, he wouldn't have believed it at all.

"Have you checked the background of that whore?"

"I checked, the brothel belongs to the official family, and the woman's background is also very clean."

"Where's the contact?"

"Everything has been checked, and there is no suspicious person."

"No? Could it be that a prostitute would know about the messenger? Or was it a dream?"

"Now that woman is being detained in Zhenhai City, under the watchful eye of Jin Yiwei."

"Could it be a nightmare, or something else..."

Shen Lian picked up his wine glass and took a sip, "If this is the case, I probably have to ask my brother-in-law to take action, others don't have the ability to deal with them."

Hu Qian said: "Have you used torture?"

"I heard it was used, but the woman only said that she heard it by accident, and asked where she heard it from, she shook her head and said she couldn't remember."

"Like amnesia?"

"A bit like."

Hu Qian nodded, "It's possible that he was possessed by a nightmare ghost, and torture tools alone are useless."

"Is there anything my brother-in-law can do?"

"There is, but it's too time-consuming and labor-intensive. It's useless for a while."

Hu Qian drank a few more sips.

If the source of the news cannot be checked for the time being, we can only find out the possible messenger first.

"Are you sure he has entered the city?"

"Going to West BJ City from Zhenhai City is a must, otherwise you have to go around the mountain.

But it would take too much time to do that, the fighter plane is fleeting, and the envoy will not go around if he thinks about it.

Since the Commander learned the news, the capital has been in a state of only being able to enter and not being able to enter. Calculating the time, if the envoy did not make a detour, he must be in the capital. "

Hu Qian nodded, but to find this person among the 40 people in the city, I'm afraid it's not much worse than finding a needle in a haystack.

"Jin Yiwei originally arranged for my brother-in-law to stay, but I thought that my brother-in-law would definitely not go, so I decided to ask my brother-in-law to stay at my house."

"Have you bought a house in Beijing?"

"No way, the house price in Beijing is so expensive, how can I afford it."

"Nonsense, you are the home of the richest man in Nanyang, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to buy a few houses."

"Brother-in-law doesn't know, I became a Jinyi Guard myself, and what my colleagues have always said is that I came from an ordinary family.

Since he came to Jinyiwei originally from Kong Zongbing, the identity check was not particularly strict. "

"It's true, it's better to keep a low profile when working in Jinyiwei."

"So I didn't buy a house at first, I just rented a small courtyard because it seemed suitable, and it cost me a lot of money."

The two left and ate, and arrived at Shen Lian's house not long after.

The concierge opened the door and saw Shen Lian and the two with puzzled expressions.

Shen Lian said: "This is my brother-in-law."

The concierge bowed immediately.

When we arrived in the backyard, a beautiful woman came out suddenly, before she approached, she said, "Master, you..."

When he saw Hu Qian behind Shen Lian, he immediately stopped and lowered his head to leave.

Shen Lian said: "Feng'er, come, I have met my brother-in-law."

Only then did the woman walk over slowly, and she was blessed, "Feng'er has seen brother-in-law."

Hu Qian said strangely: "Why, when did you get married, why don't you say anything, if your father-in-law knows..."

He was still talking, but when he saw that the faces of the two were not right, he didn't continue.

Instead, he took out 100 taels of silver from his body and handed it to Feng'er, "It's my first time here, and I don't have any preparations. I have some taels of silver, and I'll take it and buy some tea."

Feng'er didn't dare to take it, Shen Lian said: "Accept it, this is the rule of my hometown."

Only then did Feng'er accept it, and Shen Lian said again: "Has the wing room been tidied up?"

"It has been cleaned up, and the bedding is brand new."

After Feng'er left, Hu Qian asked, "What's going on?"

Shen Lian shook his head and said: "The last time Dr. Guanglu was questioned, all the women in his family served as the Secretary of the Jiaofang, and Feng'er was one of them. I saw her weak, and I felt pity for her, so I bought her.

but……

She had been in it for three months then..."

"what do you mean……"

"Yes, it has already been groomed by others."

Hu Qian came from later generations, this kind of thing is common, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

"So, although I like her and want to marry her, but she feels that her status is low and her body is unclean, so she is only willing to be a concubine."

At this point, he seemed to be thinking of something, and said to Hu Qian: "Brother-in-law, please keep this matter a secret, I don't want my sister and parents to worry."

Hu Qian said: "You can rest assured about this.

I shouldn't have said more about this kind of thing, but I think that as long as you really like it, wives and concubines are fine.

You can ask your father-in-law and mother-in-law to help you find a real wife, so that the two elders can feel at ease. "

"But……"

"Listen to me.

Taking a regular wife doesn't mean you treat her badly.

On the contrary, you can still love each other as before.

And in this way, the knot in her heart can also be untied, so why not do it? "

Unexpectedly, Shen Lian shook his head, "No, I only like her, so I will only marry her. No matter how good the others are, I will not marry."

"Then how do you explain to the father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"Well, I can only talk to them slowly. After a long time, maybe they will agree."

"I think you may not have much time. When the second elder went to Guobei County last time, he said that the business should be handed over to the tribe, and then come to live in the capital."

"what?"

Shen Lian was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Hu Qian said: "If it doesn't work, then hide her life experience. Anyway, if you don't tell her, the second elder won't know."

"I don't have to say it, but I'm afraid she will.

She originally only wanted to follow me as a concubine, if I said she was a wife, she might expose it on the spot. "

Hu Qian said: "This is embarrassing, think about it slowly, I'm going to sleep first.

By the way, besides you, can I find other helpers for this matter. "

"As long as brother-in-law asks, even a first-rank minister must come."

Hu Qian nodded, "You don't need a first-rank minister, just find Bai Yufeng."

"Bai Yufeng, the one from the Imperial Academy?"

"Hanlin Academy?"

At this moment, Hu Qian remembered that after Bai Shangshu's death, Bai Yufeng won the first place one after another, and after a few years he won the Jinshi, so he should be in the Imperial Academy after all.

"Yes, bring him."

The next day, Hu Qian, Ruan Conghai, Shen Lian, and Bai Yufeng got together in Jinyiweiyuan.

As soon as Ruan Conghai met, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Hu, the last time you were promoted to Deputy Envoy of Dongming, I was busy with official duties and didn't have time to come to congratulate, so I didn't expect to meet here so soon.

A little small profit, please accept it. "

As he spoke, he handed over a brocade box.

Hu Qian took it over, "Thank you, Mr. Ruan."

The two talked for a while before Ruan Conghai left.

Bai Yufeng said: "It's still you who have been promoted quickly, and you are still the first since the opening of the Great Qian Dynasty."

Hu Qian said: "You bastard, you didn't learn anything else when you became an official, but you learned how to flatter."

"Come down to business.

Do you have any idea? "

Hu Qian shook his head and said, "There is no good solution for now, how about you?"

Bai Yufeng said: "Three ways.

First, send people to search from house to house, even if they dig three feet, they must be found.

But it took too long, I'm afraid the person hasn't been found yet, and the southeast side..."

Hu Qian nodded, "Continue."

"Second, open the gates of the city wide, let him go, set up checkpoints on the main road to the northwest, and check out suspicious persons.

However, this is also very difficult. Since the other party is on a mission, he must be vigilant, and he may not succeed in this way. "

"What about the third?"

"Pretend to be a black person from the northwest, and lead the snake out of the hole. But..."

"But it's hard, right? They might not be fooled at all."

As he said that, he looked at Bai Yufeng amusedly, "After staying in the Imperial Academy for a while, why is he much duller?"

Bai Yufeng looked embarrassed, "You don't have to say such big words, you might as well talk about your high opinion."

Hu Qian laughed and didn't answer, but asked, "What do you think of my face today?"

Bai Yufeng said unhappily: "Auspicious stars are shining! Maybe there will be good luck."

"Haha, you are never allowed to meet each other. I hope you can do it once today."

As he said that, he stepped out and walked out.

Bai Yufeng and Shen Lian were taken aback, and asked, "Where is this going?"

"Department of Rites."

The two were taken aback again, "What are you going to do at the Ministry of Rites now?"

But even though he was puzzled, seeing that Hu Qian seemed to have a plan in his chest, he didn't want to ask more questions, so he quickly followed.

When they arrived at the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites, the guards saw Shen Lian's token of Jin Yiwei and the emperor's token, so they didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly let the three of them in.

The host and guests were busy at first, when they saw Hu Qian and the three of them, they were all taken aback.

But when their eyes shifted to Shen Lian's Jinyiwei clothes, they all showed displeasure.

"People from Jinyiwei are not welcome here."

Shen Lian was about to speak, but Hu Qian stopped him, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Hu Qian, may I ask you, the Master of the Host and Guests."

The man was taken aback, and quickly bowed to return the salute.

No one in the court knew that although Hu Qian was still the magistrate of the seventh rank, in a few months he would be transferred to be the Deputy Envoy of Dongming, a senior official of the fourth rank.

This is not the main thing.

What's important is that all officials know that Hu Qian is supernatural and has abilities that ordinary people can't fathom.

Some people even discussed in private that even if you offend the emperor, you can't offend Hu Qian.

Otherwise, he might die, and he doesn't know how he died.

"Your Majesty Hu is too polite, sir... I am Lin Defeng, the head of the Department of Hosts and Guests. I don't know if Mr. Hu is here. Is there something wrong?"

Hu Qian said: "It's nothing else, it's just that the emperor ordered me to investigate the case secretly, so I want to ask Mr. Lin about something."

The matter of the Eastern envoy is a secret among secrets. Even now, only a few people in the court know about it.

Lin Defeng's attitude changed drastically when he heard it, and he said with a smile: "Since the emperor has a decree, feel free to ask, I will know everything."

Hu Qian said: "This matter is too confidential, please back away from me, my lord."

Lin Defeng hurriedly let everyone out.

"Master Lin, have you been in contact with Dongyang recently?"

Lin Defeng's back was drenched with sweat.

Now the imperial court is in the southeast and the Dongyang people's congress is inseparable, and the war is unfavorable, the city is lost, and countless soldiers and civilians have died. The whole country hates the Dongyang people.

At this time, if anyone is said to be in contact with Dongyang, wouldn't it be said that this person is a traitor.

Coupled with the fact that there were Jinyiwei standing behind Hu Qian, he couldn't stop thinking about it.

Immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked cautiously: "What do you mean by that, my lord?"

Hu Qian said: "Your Excellency Lin, don't be nervous. What I mean by this official is whether your lord has been in contact with Japanese people."

"When the Eastern envoy Nakamura Moriichi came, he did have contact with him."

Hu Qian nodded, "My lord must be able to speak Japanese?"

"Yes, I don't know what your lord means?"

He was still not sure what Hu Qian meant.

Hu Qian said: "How do you say 'don't move' in Oriental dialect?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Defeng was puzzled, but Bai Yufeng and Shen Lian were also a little confused.

But Lin Defeng still replied immediately: "Move くな!"

Hu Qian nodded, "What about 'comfortable'?"

"気持ちがいい!"

"What about 'don't'?"

"いらない!"

"What about 'coming out'?"

"出てきました!"

Hu Qian said with a smile: "These few sentences are understandable."

Lin Defeng and the others were still staring wide-eyed.

You have been mobilizing people for a long time, and you are the badge of Jinyiwei, and you are frightening people with the emperor's secret order. You probably came to learn the craft.

Hu Qian ignored them, but said solemnly, "What do you say I'm from Northwest?"

"Northwesterner desu!"

"What did Dongyang say?"

"Toyo!"

"How do you say 'stop'?"

"Stop it!"

"How about you go?"

"OK きなさい!"

Hu Qian nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lin."

After saying that, he wanted to leave.

Lin Defeng froze for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "My lord, what exactly is this going to do?"

Hu Qian said with a smile: "Master Lin, it's better not to know, otherwise, if it leads to murder, the subordinate officials will not be able to help you."

Lin Defeng was startled, and laughed quickly: "If that's the case, I won't see you off, please."

Out of the host-guest department, calm as Shen Lian is also full of curiosity.

However, he has been a Jin Yiwei for a long time, and he knows what to ask and what not to ask, so although he is very curious, it is difficult to ask.

Bai Yufeng didn't care about these things, he grabbed Hu Qian's arm and said, "What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"

Hu Qian smiled without saying a word.

Just after leaving the Ministry of Rites, I suddenly met Fu Tianchou, the Minister of Rites.

The three of Hu Qian hurriedly bowed to salute.

If it was someone else, Fu Tianchou might still put on airs, but when he saw Hu Qian, Fu Tianchou didn't dare to take it too seriously, and immediately returned the courtesy.

"Master Hu, why come to the Ministry of Rites when you have time?"

Hu Qian said, "Excuse me for some official business."

After sending Hu Qian away, Fu Tianchou hurried in, "Who did Hu Qian meet just now?"

One person said: "I just met Mr. Lin, the host and guest division."

"Tell him to come see me right away!"

When Lin Defeng ran over in a panic, before he had time to salute, Fu Tianchou said first: "Tell me exactly what Hu Qian said to you just now!"

Lin Defeng's sweat broke out again immediately, and he quickly said what Hu Qian said.

Fu Tianchou frowned when he heard that, "Don't move? Comfortable? Don't? Come out? People from the Northwest? People from the East? Stop? Can you go?

What the hell does this mean...

Does the emperor doubt me?

Or tell me not to take any action? "
