On March 26, the sixth year of Zhenguan, at midnight, I was in a study room in a certain courtyard.
Qin Ming was sitting on a chair, writing furiously.
Just now, Qin Ming reorganized the two "assassinations" that happened yesterday.
Based on the information collected, there are currently two groups of people who want to kill him.
One group is the eldest grandson family who leads the Guanlong family, and the Bohai Gao family.
The other group is the Shandong gentry.
The people of the Changsun family and the Gao family who want to kill him should be Changsun Chong and Gao Jixiong.
Changsun Wuji probably wasn't involved, otherwise his life would have been sealed here yesterday.
At present, the people sent by the Changsun family and the Gao family are either dead or controlled by him.
In the short term, these two companies will not pose a threat to him.
Moreover, he already had a rough idea of how to deal with Changsun Chong and Gao Fuli.
The trouble now is the Shandong gentry.
Because the Shandong nobles targeted him, not the second-generation descendants, but the powerful ones among the nobles.
This can be seen from the fact that the person behind it can collude with Tuyuhun.
As for whether one family or several members of the Shandong noble family are targeting him together, although Qin Ming cannot be sure yet, one thing is certain, that is, the Taiyuan Wang family is most likely to be involved.
The reason why Qin Ming is so sure is because he still remembers it now.
When the Longyou War had just begun, the Wang family of Taiyuan had instructed some officials in the court to recommend him to join the army and accompany Uncle Cheng on the expedition.
This incident happened just after he rejected the Taiyuan Wang family’s plan to purchase and build a greenhouse.
Because of this, when Qin Ming learned that the Wang family of Taiyuan, with whom he had had an unpleasant experience, arranged for royal officials to spare no effort in recommending him to join the army, he immediately went to the palace and refused the matter.
As a result, he became the director of the Roads and Bridges Department, and later became involved in the construction of cement roads.
Qin Ming originally thought that after selling the cement manufacturing method to the Wang family, the relationship between the two parties could be eased, but he did not expect that the Wang family in Taiyuan would not die in his desire to kill me.
In this case, Qin Ming would have to fight back.
You can't always defend passively or rely on luck.
Of course, for now, the most important thing is the safety of himself and the Qin Mansion.
After all, the power of the Shandong gentry is too great, and no one knows how many officers and soldiers there are in the Chinese army camp who belong to them.
Qin Ming thought again and again, and after weighing all the pros and cons, decided to directly lead everyone in the Qin Mansion to Lanzhou City.
There are four reasons.
First, Lanzhou City has now implemented controls. Ordinary people are not allowed to walk around the city at will, and people outside the city are prohibited from entering.
Second, Lanzhou is now under the control of Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Ming's safety is more secure.
Third, he needs to establish a character. A person who has a great heart and serves the country and the people.
Fourth, he wanted to know what Li Er and Changsun would do after learning that they were assassinated again by the Changsun family and the Gao family yesterday.
Should I protect my relatives like last time, or should I kill my relatives out of justice and give myself justice?
This is very important to Qin Ming, very important.
It is related to his future attitude towards the royal family.
As the old saying goes, a friend's favor is better than a rival's favor.
Qin Ming has to guard against it!
As for whether he would be infected with smallpox when entering Lanzhou City, Qin Ming was not worried about this.
Qin Ming is the best at home isolation.
So, after Qin Ming figured everything out, he started to write a letter.
The first letter to Xiao Changxi has been written.
Now Qin Ming is writing a second letter, this letter is addressed to Zhang Wenyuan.
This letter contained a lot of information, so Qin Ming kept writing and it took almost two quarters of an hour to finish.
Just as Qin Ming was stamping the two letters with wax, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Then, Zi Shu's voice came from outside the door.
"Sir, Madam Baili and Madam Song are asking to see you."
Qin Ming raised his head, looked at the door and said:
"Let them in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
Then, Baili Zhi and Song Muching walked in.
The two women bowed slightly toward Qin Ming, and then Baili Zhi placed the food box on the table, and Song Muqing also placed the washbasin in his hand on a low table.
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the two women, and asked:
"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
The two women gave Qin Ming a blessing together, and then Baili Zhi said:
"After I and Mu Qing came back from the wounded barracks, they passed by Lang Jun's yard and saw that Lang Jun was still up so late. They were worried that Lang Jun would be hungry."
"So, I and Mu Qing cooked some food for you together."
"If Mr. Lang is too busy, come over and have something to eat."
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Wait a moment, I'll be finished here soon."
After saying that, Qin Ming sealed the two letters with fire paint, put them in his sleeves, and then walked towards the two women.
Song Muqing lowered his eyebrows and pointed at the basin and said:
"Mr. Lang, I am waiting for you to wash up."
One day passed, especially while he and Bai Lizhi were waiting for Qin Ming to return to the city.
Song Muqing gained a better understanding of Qin Ming through Baili Zhi's narration.
When Song Muqing learned that Qin Ming, at the age of sixteen, had single-handedly been conferred the title of Lantian County Male by the current emperor.
She was completely shocked.
At that moment, Song Muqing felt both proud and a little ashamed of herself.
Just when Song Muqing finally digested the oppression brought by Qin Ming's identity, Baili Zhi dropped another bombshell news.
That is, Qin Ming is not only engaged to the princess of the current dynasty, but also has several "ladies" who look like gods in the Qin Mansion.
Moreover, Bai Lizhi also specifically emphasized that even those "ladies" who look like her can only serve as foils.
Song Muqing's mouth twitched at that time, and he smiled sarcastically at Baili Zhi:
"Sister Baili, you are born with white skin, beauty, and a beautiful country. Is there any woman more beautiful than you in this world? Are you being modest about yourself?"
Baili Zhi just smiled when she heard this and said softly:
"When you arrive at Lantian and see those people, you will know that what I said is true."
Song Muqing felt a little uneasy when he saw that Baili Zhi's expression was natural and did not seem to be fake.
Not long after the conversation, Qin Ming led his troops back to the city.
Then, Song Muqing followed Baili Zhi to the wounded barracks.
It was not until more than an hour ago, after all the wounded soldiers had been treated, that Baili Zhi, Song Muching, Luluo, maid Xiaodie and others returned to the Qin Mansion under the escort of their personal guards.
On the way back, when the four women heard about what Qin Ming did in the front yard, their eyes instantly turned red and they burst into tears.
