When Yin Lian heard that someone was coming to search, he was not surprised. While combing her hair, she asked the servant who came to report in a hurry: "Li Laixi, is Chief Li here too?"
One of the servants was stunned and said: "...That's not true."
Yin Lian's house is medium in size, but it doesn't employ many people. In addition to the life-like robots she brought from the future, she also hired a few servants to complete the household configurations that a wealthy person must have, such as gardeners, cooks, concierges and a few handymen.
With the labor available at this time, she was reluctant to use a robot with extremely high capabilities to do some cleaning and miscellaneous work.
Because there are not many people in the house, some news in the house can be exchanged quickly. There have been rumors among the servants that although the young lady in the house has been disfigured, her business ability is very strong, and she is different from many people in the capital. Big names have contacts.
Among these rumors, there are also rumors about a big shot in the Secret Service, but they are not spread very often. After all, in the capital city, the Secret Service can be said to be a powerful and terrifying existence, and ordinary people dare not talk about it at all.
But Yin Lian's words undoubtedly confirmed this rumor, and immediately made the panicked servant feel a little more at ease. After all, Li Laixi's name was deafening throughout the capital, and if Yin Lian was somewhat similar to the spy leader, Because of the relationship, his house would probably not be confiscated directly. What's more, Yin Lian's attitude was calm at this time, and he didn't seem to take the matter seriously, which showed that the matter was not at its worst yet.
Sure enough, after Yin Lian went out, the officer's attitude became a bit more polite and he only said that it was a routine inspection. Yin Lian didn't resist and just let them search the house. Judging from the way they searched, although they opened the box and rummaged through it, they did not search in detail. They were obviously not looking for small items. And judging from the fact that they sometimes use some sharp instruments to explore narrow gaps that adult men cannot enter, I am afraid that what the other party is searching is not an object, but a living thing... such as a child.
The result, of course, was that nothing could be found.
Yin Lian yawned.
She didn't sleep well last night.
She sent the Jing family child to the future Xia Kingdom. The child can't speak much yet, and he probably won't be able to remember many things that happened. And the future Xia Kingdom itself takes good care of minors. Even orphans of unknown origin will be taken care of as long as they are sent to official childcare institutions. Very good, I guess I won't investigate the origin of the child, which is actually the best choice for Yin Lian.
When she returned to the Xia Dynasty, she checked some information that she had been concerned about before - such as whether the abduction in Zhongzhou was recorded in history... But she did not find any relevant information or literary works, but she did find some other information. Information that surprised her.
She originally thought that Zhongzhou's style and the cruel behavior reported in previous wars would be difficult to win the hearts of the people, and that it would be impossible to win the final victory. Unexpectedly, when I checked the information, I found that Zhongzhou had once expanded its power to a great extent. Although it did later arouse public outrage because of its excessive cruelty and ruthlessness, it was annihilated by several major forces at the time.
Yin Lian silently pulled down the page, thinking that her views were still too correct. War is not a TV series. In fact, the emphasis is never on justice winning. On the contrary, whoever wins is justice.
So she conveniently added some information and downloaded several official histories of Xia Kingdom in modern times... After thinking about it, she added a complete collection of general histories.
In addition to the history of Zhongzhou, she searched for Jing Lai's life background, and found that this person was indeed not highly regarded in history. Although there was not much content, the several life records listed were not good things. One of them was It is said that he has secretly used his power to provide firearms to multiple warlords and even bandits for a long time. When his home was finally ransacked, a large number of firearms and hundreds of thousands of family property were found. The other two are from two different articles. One is about his wife's uncle. He scolded him for his lack of personal ethics and threatened that if he carried out "insults contrary to human ethics" to his sister again, he would order her to "divorce" her husband and order her to pay back a dowry worth fifty thousand yuan. Because this paragraph is regarded as the source of the rise in women's status and even the social changes in the marriage system at this time, there is no specific explanation of what the insult in the letter refers to. Another article is a prose written by a wealthy author. It mentions Jing Lai once and talked about a dish in his family. The original text reads: "Among all the people, there is only one official named Jing Lai, who is a senior member of the Ministry of War. He can get "Take the Huijiang whitebait in September"...According to the inference of later generations, Huijiang whitebait was extremely rare at that time, and at that time Huijiang belonged to the ethnic minority in the Dongyi land, and the relationship with the imperial court was very tense. At that time, Dongyi and Dongyi The imperial court has been in a state of hostility and war for a long time, and there is no official trade relationship, which supports the theory that the "Huijiang whitebait" originated from smuggling channels.
Generally speaking, in terms of future records, Jing Lai has no record of doing good things.
After understanding these things, Yin Lian let go of the previous burden. Although Jinglai is not very good, it does not mean that the old lady also does many evil things and will not be interested in the future. But in fact, even in modern times, even if a person commits a crime, even if his family members are no longer legally responsible, they will still be implicated in a social sense, Yin Lian realizes that she is also a part of society, and the cost of saving the old lady is too high, so it is okay for her to choose to protect herself.
She did not express her anger at the child. After all, if Jing Lai did something evil, the old lady would be able to dissuade her, but a two or three-year-old child could only passively accept it. So no matter what the child's bloodline is, I believe he will grow up healthy, upright, and optimistic under Xia Guo's benevolent public education system.
Yin Lian irresponsibly pushed the child to the Xia Kingdom's public preschool education system.
After that, she returned to the Xia Kingdom eight hundred years ago, and read half of the modern history. She actually recognized the names of many important historical figures in other fields that were not on her "author's guide list."
Because I stayed up late at night, I didn't get up early in the morning. Just in time, the secret service officer knocked on the door.
There was no Li Laixi outside the door, but there was an officer who had appeared with Li Laixi before, whom Yin Lian had met once or twice, and Yin Lian chatted with him for a few words. She acted very calmly, as if she was not afraid of what the other party would find. In fact, the officers did not find anything, let alone the fish they wanted to search that slipped through the net, or other things that looked suspicious or There is no trace of property or files that arouse greed.
But Yin Lian runs a rickshaw workshop in Beijing that has been coveted by many people, and his family is rich. How can he only have this little wealth at home? Is it impossible for her to keep all her money in the bank? The officer was disbelieving and asked people to search carefully, but he was still unable to find the existence of the secret room. In the end, he could only call it a day with a little reluctance.
Although Yin Lian's home could not be searched, the fact that he could not even find the secret room still made the officer a little doubtful about his search ability.
However, this group of Secret Service officers were very cheerful and called it a day. Moreover, during the search process, there was almost no damage to Yin Lian's residence. It can be said that they are quite qualified. Yin Lian felt that they must not be so qualified all the time, so even though Li Laixi didn't come, he probably had something to explain when he came.
In fact, what she didn't know was that after the leading officer left, he quickly went to Li Laixi to report. Li Laixi seemed to be waiting for this report and asked, "Is there anything suspicious at all in her house?"
The officer replied: "Not only are there suspicious things, but also some things that should be there are not seen, such as the technical information of the rickshaw."
Li Laixi said: "Many businessmen today do not master new technologies themselves, but purchase technology or hire people with this technology. The information about the rickshaw may not be in her home, but may be in the hands of a workshop or technician." of."
Officer: "But it's unbelievable that she doesn't even have a money bank. It's impossible for her to keep all her money in a bank, right? Even if she keeps it in a bank, there should be banknotes."
Li Laixi pondered for a moment and asked, "So have you found any traces of suspected secret rooms?"
The officer was silent for a moment and then said: "...So this is the problem. It has been less than a year since Zeng Erya bought this mansion, and there seems to be no movement or signs of renovations in the meantime, unless it was originally very well hidden. The secret room happened to be used by her, otherwise I don’t know how she built this secret room..."
Yin Lian: Because there is no secret room at all. Want to know more about carrying space equipment with you?
But in the Xia Kingdom at this time, no one had even read a few books on magic, and the mustard seeds of the universe and the like were only popularized many years later. About seven years later, Gui Jia, a staff officer in the Jinjia Army currently stationed in the south, Mr. Cheng, on a whim, wrote a very famous novel between fairy tales and fantasy called "Dream Return", which laid the foundation of modern fairy tales in Xia Kingdom.
At this time, the people in the Secret Service probably couldn't even figure out where Yin Lian had hidden his belongings and some important information.
Li Laixi said: "Since we can't find it, let's assume that she doesn't have a secret room. She doesn't necessarily hide all her belongings in her house."
The officer's expression changed and he asked, "Do you want to continue to monitor her and find a possible hiding place?"
Li Laixi said: "No need. He's just a child who doesn't know anything. If you can find it, just look for it. If you can't find it, forget it."
The officer was stunned for a moment and said: "Just let it go like this? Cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, and the spring breeze will bring new growth..."
As a result, Li Laixi sneered and said, "Even if a clump of weeds grows again, what does it matter? If Jing Lai's son can grow as long as he likes and has the talent of Jing Lai, then he is not a weed. But in this world, , It has always been easy for weeds to grow, but it is difficult for beautiful trees to grow."
The officer suddenly became confused and said, "If that's the case, why do we still need to search for that kid?"
Li Laixi said: "The so-called cutting off the roots is not to cut off the miscellaneous roots, but to shock everyone. After all, everyone in the world values their roots..."
As he said this, he called his secretary and began to give instructions on the next arrangements.
So when Yin Lian woke up completely and came to the newspaper office, he saw a group of subordinates not sitting at their desks working calmly, but instead discussing something intensely.
As soon as Yin Lian got closer, he heard someone roaring: "Even the elderly and children will not be spared! These people in the Secret Service are simply cold-blooded beasts!"
