Husband, why did you get up so early today? Don’t you need to raise your forehead? "
Qi Yun let out a loose robe, and her plump body was almost ready to come out. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was wearing official robes, with a puzzled tone!
Liu Mingzhi washed up and wore the silver-green official robe of Doctor Guanglu, with a purple and gold seal around his waist. This outfit officially announced that Young Master Liu had entered the camp of the powerful class.
Although he was a third-rank official with no real power, from now on, when the civil and military officials met Liu Mingzhi, they would no longer call him Yuan Wai Lang of the Ministry of Revenue, but Dr. Guanglu or Uncle Tongyuan.
According to convention, it is a sign of respect for officials to address each other to their highest official position.
Just like Wen Renzheng, although he has retired from the temple for many years, civil and military officials still call him "Emperor Master" when they see him.
Even if he was just a former imperial master.
This is an unwritten rule.
Tongyuan Bo, the Yin Qing Guang Lu doctor, was Liu Mingzhi's highest official position. He was a third-rank prose official and had the same rank as Tongyuan Earl, a third-rank official.
The title of earl does not actually have a specific official classification. There are three grades and four grades. It mainly depends on whether you have real power in your hands. If you have real power in your hands, you will be looked down upon.
A very clear example is Zhurun, the Marquis of Guannei. He is just a Marquis who has inherited the gospel of his ancestors. Others may look at him with high regard, but they will never take him too seriously.
Everything depends on strength!
Putting the pillow behind Qi Yun and letting her sit up sideways, Liu Mingzhi straightened her messy hair and said, "You should sleep a little longer. My husband has to deal with some little devils. It's been five or six days and we can't delay any more." !”
Qi Yun was extremely happy enjoying her husband's service. She leaned gently on the pillow and looked at her husband in confusion: "Little devil? What is a little devil?"
Liu Mingzhi grabbed Qi Yun's wrist and patted it: "Yun'er, do you still remember those weirdly dressed dwarfs you saw in Jinling? Those people who spoke Haiyi Haiyi bowed their heads and looked like slaves. ?”
Qi Yun thought about it quietly after hearing the words. After a moment, she nodded with sudden realization. She took out her beautiful hand and grabbed her husband's ear with an angry look on her face: "Okay, you don't still remember that little girl named Sakai Hoshino!"
"It hurts, it hurts... Madam, everything is going nowhere. My husband doesn't even remember that there is such a person. You can still remember her name. You have such a good memory!"
"If you hadn't been staring at her with a sly look and giving her a lot of gifts, I wouldn't have remembered her name! You don't have any evil intentions, right?"
When Qi Yun saw her husband howling, she let go of her jade hands, folded her hands around her chest, and looked at Young Master Liu dissatisfied with her red lips pouted.
"Japanese ladies have to say it's true...it's impossible to be content with having you as a husband!"
Liu Mingzhi really wanted to praise the Japanese girls, but when he saw Qi Yun's eyes, his strong desire to survive made him change his mind immediately.
It's not that he's afraid that Qi Yun will attack him. Now that Wen Renzheng has mastered the nine-style sword song training, it's really hard to say who will hit whom. The main reason is that he's afraid that Qi Yun will be sad and say that he's inconsistent.
"A lot of lies, but not a single word of truth!"
Young Master Liu did not argue...explained, and kissed Qi Yunxiang gently on the cheek: "Sleep more, and go to Honglu Temple to meet them first for my husband!"
She glanced at her husband angrily: "I haven't washed up yet, don't you think it's dirty!"
"It's not dirty, it's not dirty. This lady is the most fragrant. I won't say any more. My husband will leave first!"
Qi Yun smiled sweetly: "Be careful on the road!"
"I know, how old am I...Wori..."
Qi Yun looked anxious and wanted to get up: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay! Your foot slipped! Just go back to sleep!"
Liu Mingzhi pulled Liu Yi, who was wearing a green shirt, and quickly left the inner courtyard: "Liu Yi, can your uncle walk next time? Aren't you tired from flying around?"
Liu Yi looked at Young Master Liu awkwardly: "Young Master, please forgive me, but Liu Yi didn't expect Young Master that you would walk out of the room without warning, and stopped without noticing, scaring the Young Master!"
Liu Mingzhi looked around and said, "Are you out again?"
Liu Yi nodded calmly: "My kung fu is not as good as Liu Yi's. It's hard to deal with. I lost him again. Although my force is not that good, my light kung fu is definitely one of the few!"
"Okay, as long as you don't do anything excessive and keep an eye on me, don't alert others!"
"Yes, Liu Yi is resigning!"
Looking at Liu Yi's back, Young Master Liu clapped his hands, and Liu Si, Liu Qi and others immediately flew down from the roof.
"I've met the young master!"
Liu Mingzhi looked around: "Get a lantern and let's go to the study to talk!"
"yes!"
Liu Qi picked up a lantern under the eaves and followed Liu Mingzhi towards the study.
"etc!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the door of the study room and Liu Si and the others stopped immediately.
"What's wrong, young master?"
"Give me the lantern!"
"OK!"
Liu Mingzhi held up the lantern and looked at the broken hair on the threshold, carefully pinched it and rubbed it.
"Did the wind blow last night?"
"No, the moon and stars were sparse last night, and there was only an imperceptible west wind. What's wrong, young master?"
Liu Mingzhi casually threw the hair in his hand on the ground: "It's nothing, I just want to ask!"
Liu Mingzhi opened the door and lit the candle in the study: "You two should sit down first!"
"yes!"
Liu Mingzhi walked around the study room holding a candlestick and then sat in front of the desk. He saw the hair under the desk and shook his head slightly: "If it is windy outside, will it be windy in the study too?"
He put the candlestick on the table and looked at Liu Si and the other two sitting opposite: "Did you find it? Where did it go ashore?"
Liu Si took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and put it on the table: "Twenty sea ships, large and small, with more than 1,100 people, Honglu Temple has more than 100 people, and the remaining more than 1,000 people are distributed in various places. Where are the specific places in the village? Five days is too little, so we really can’t find anything!”
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes: "Continue to investigate and find out the locations of the branch offices of these thousands of Japanese people and who they have come into contact with, no matter what the cost. When the old man asked about the reason, he said bluntly that we must find out where the Japanese people are staying!"
"Yes, Liu Si will send a letter to Brother Liu Ye in each prefecture later!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded solemnly, picked up the rice paper sent by Liu Si and read it carefully, then stood up and walked to the bookshelf to take out a map and compare it.
"Tianjin...Haijin Town?"
"Exactly! Young Master, please see, after Brother Liuye followed and investigated all the way, the traces of the Japanese you mentioned pointed directly to Haijin Town. Brother Liuye tracked them all the way. As expected, listening to the two people on a remote coast in Haijin Town There are more than a dozen sea-going ships, as big as houses, and the largest sea-going ship is no less than the martial arts arena at home."
"Have you ever drawn a picture of a sea ship?"
"No, for fear of alerting the enemy, Brother Liuye only laid out the tea stall and didn't prepare anything else!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded regretfully. Fortunately, he didn't know anything about it. As long as he knew the location of the Japanese ship, he could find out everything with any excuse.
"Liu Si, have you ever seen the ships of the Jiangnan Navy?"
