happy rebirth

Xie Jinhua didn't hear what Ke Qi said clearly, and there was a trace of doubt on his face.

Ke Qi was agitated by his own thoughts, first made sure that no one was passing by outside, and then lowered his voice and told Xie Jinhua his guess.This is actually just his guess, he doesn't have any evidence at hand, he just thinks the timing of Qinglian Sect's appearance is extremely suspicious.

For Xie Jinhua, he was born in the second year of Kairui and grew up in the Taiping Dynasty. For him, the previous dynasty was really the previous dynasty.Even if a scholar has the idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor and patriotism in his heart, he is loyal to the emperor surnamed Li, and he loves the world of An Dynasty.He will not have any sense of identity with the people from the previous dynasty.In his view, the trend of the world is that if it is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided.Now that the court is stable, those people in the previous court should stop.

Therefore, after hearing Ke Qi's words, Xie Jinhua's first thought was that the remnants of the previous dynasty must not be allowed to cause chaos.

"This matter must be reported to elder brother." Xie Jinhua said.

But Ke Qi shook his head and said, "No hurry...Maybe I was just thinking too much. Let's tell the eldest brother in a hurry, maybe it will mess up the rhythm of the eldest brother." Everything related to the remnants of the previous dynasty will not be a trivial matter If Ke Qi told his elder brother like this, he would cause trouble for him instead.

If the Qinglian Sect is really related to the previous dynasty, then they have been operating in secret for 17 years!Certainly not easy to be suppressed.

"Then what do you think?" Xie Jinhua asked.

Ke Qi thought for a while and said, "My aunt's natal family seems to have been bewitched by the sect. Let's go to them and get some news."

"Ask Ke Si to help?" Xie Jinhua didn't know Ke You well, but he knew that Ke You was the fourth in Ke's family.

"No! How can he be stereotyped? It would be good not to be stereotyped by others." Ke Qi quickly thought of a very suitable candidate, "It's best to entrust this matter to my aunt, I hope she hasn't believed it yet. Cult. When you go down the mountain in the future, you go back to the academy first, and I will go to Ke’s house in person.”

People who are bewitched by the cult must be extraordinarily loyal to the cult. If they do not handle things properly, they may startle the snake.Ke You doesn't have any acting skills, so if you ask him to use clichés, he must be very exaggerated.So it's better to leave this kind of matter to the Song family.She herself was very tight-lipped.

Song's natal family is not a powerful merchant, but there are dozens of servants in the family.This time the Song family's brothers and sisters-in-law came to Beijing, they must have brought a lot of servants.Since the masters of the Song family all believed in the Qinglian Sect, I am afraid that the servants are no strangers to the Qinglian Sect.As long as the master and servants of the Song family know what they know, even if Ke Qi may not be able to know the internal affairs of the Qinglian Sect, he will definitely be able to get a lot of useful information.

"If you want to trouble the elders, you should prepare a generous gift." Xie Jinhua reminded Ke Qi.

"Brother Xie said that... you don't need to be too deliberate, just prepare an ordinary etiquette. However, Ke You has three older brothers who have already achieved fame and will definitely fail in the next imperial examination. Give it a try, why don't I bring back a copy of the past exam questions." Ke Qi said.

Like this kind of exam questions and answer sheets from previous years, those with connections can easily get them, and those without connections have to pay a high price to collect them, and they may not be able to collect them all.

It was settled.The couple ate a vegetarian meal at Chongling Temple and recited scriptures to Xie Jinhua's biological mother. After two days without interruption, they left on the third day.They first went back to Caoyuan, then Xie Jinhua went back to the academy ahead of schedule, and Ke Qi set up a car to go to Ke's house.

"How about I accompany..." Xie Jinhua said hesitantly.

"Brother Xie, don't you have something to do when you go back to the academy early? Hurry up and get busy with your affairs, don't delay." Ke Qi said.If Xie Jinhua went back with Ke Qi, everyone in the Ke Mansion would be trembling in front of him. It didn't look like he was asking for help, but it seemed like he was going to mess things up.

Xie Jinhua did have something to do.He and his three or five classmates have been thinking together for a long time, and they want to start a newspaper.

Others are making friends through literature, poetry, or wine and tea. Only the small courtyard where Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi live has been making friends through food.Let's write Fu about noodles, and then write poems about cold dishes, which is really special.Because it was so interesting, someone once copied all the related poems and songs so that they could be circulated in the academy, and gradually it became a kind of alternative fashion.

In fact, this can be regarded as the most primitive manuscript.

Since the development last year, handwritten newspapers are no longer full of food, and some people will add the essence of the party that day.Those who can get close to Xie Jinhua are naturally good in character and knowledge. They sit together and talk about it. In fact, it is a collision of thinking, and sparks will definitely be formed.

Therefore, the handwritten newspapers recording these sparks became more popular, and soon swept the entire academy, even the gentlemen heard about it.

One day, Ke Qi had an idea and said, "Brother Xie, why don't you all create a newspaper!"

At this time, there were already such things as "newspapers", but now there are only official newspapers and no civilian newspapers.Even if it is an official newspaper, it will not be issued to the general public, but only to officials.There is an institution in the court called Jinzuo Yuan, and the Jinzuo officials will send the emperor's edict, the emperor's daily words and deeds, the government's decrees and bulletins, the chapters and lists of officials at all levels, the work reports of the provincial temple supervisors and other institutions, and the battle reports of the border garrison. Copy it to various places.In normal times, the officials send reports every five days; in special times, they send reports to local governments every day.

Therefore, when Ke Qi proposed the concept of Wenbao, although the idea was somewhat novel, it was quickly accepted by everyone.

We were all classmates, and we got along well, but they didn't know what the newspaper would be like in the end. Many people just regarded it as a small fight, and Xie Jinhua was elected as the editor-in-chief by everyone.However, he is Mu Lao's apprentice, and the most important thing is that he is very knowledgeable, so he is worthy of the position of "chief editor".Oh, and Ke Qi became the "honorary director" because everyone thought he was very thoughtful.

Editor-in-chief Xie needs to return to the academy early to start work.

This is the first time Ke Qi has returned to Ke's house since the separation.The gate was still the same gate, and the concierge had changed to an unfamiliar face.The concierge had never met Ke Qi before, and when Ke Qi informed him of his identity, he froze for two seconds before rushing to pass on the message.

Mrs. Song was chatting with her sister-in-law about raising children, and when she heard that Ke Qi had come, she was also stunned for a while.

The day before yesterday, Ke You went to look for Ke Qi, and after returning home, he said a lot of things to Mrs. Song, but Mrs. Song's mood was a little complicated.If Ke Qi wasn't born by that old man, even if he was an outsider, the Song family could treat him better.Because such a person who knows how to repay kindness and has an upright mind deserves to be treated kindly.

The Song family's sister-in-law had long been curious about this concubine who "married" into the Hou family, and wanted to watch from the sidelines.

Song said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Jiu came suddenly, I'm afraid it's..."

She said half of her speech, and the rest was left to people's imagination. Song's sister-in-law didn't know what she was thinking, she nodded with a serious expression, and immediately retreated to the yard where she lived.Only then did Song breathe a sigh of relief, and asked her servants to prepare refreshments immediately, and she got up and went to the main hall to entertain Ke Qi.

This year, not only did Ke Qi change a lot, Song shi also changed a lot.

Song looks much younger than before.She only has to observe her husband's filial piety for one year, and now she has passed the filial piety period. Although she is a widow and cannot wear brightly colored clothes, she can embroider patterns on the corners of her dresses.She used to have a straight face before, but now she has a little smile on her face.

Ke Qi observed for a while, and saw that his aunt seemed to have been bewitched by her natal brothers and sisters, so she slowly talked about her reason for coming.He didn't talk about the conspiracy of the previous dynasty, he only said that the emergence of this sect would often attract people to gather in a certain place, and it would be a serious crime to waste the land at that time.

Leaving aside the matter of the previous dynasty, such a cult will always attract the attention of the court and be suppressed in the end.Merchants like the Song family are still very prestigious in the county where they are located.If something really happened at that time, wealthy merchants like them would definitely be carried out to sacrifice the knife.

But if the Song family is willing to help collect information, with the guarantee from the Xie family, the Song family can be promoted as "heroes who go deep into the tiger's den to dismantle the cult."Therefore, whenever the Song family valued her natal family, she would accept Ke Qi's request and thank Ke Qi for giving her this opportunity.

So it's settled.

When Ke Qi left, Mrs. Song personally sent him to the second gate.Ke Qi bowed to Mrs. Song before turning around and leaving.

As far as Ke Qi is concerned, he is actually looking forward to the real rebellious forces hidden behind the Qinglian Sect.Because the DPRK and China have not started to pay attention to this issue at all, this will be Brother Xie's opportunity!Brother Xie has been unable to make further progress in the officialdom because he has not been a magistrate yet.If it can be confirmed that there is a problem with the Qinglian Sect, as long as the Qingyang Hou Mansion conducts a secret operation, let Brother Xie go to a place where the Qinglian Sect is prevalent.If the eldest brother can seize the opportunity to uproot the Qinglian Sect, then as long as he handles the Qinglian Sect, he will be promoted to the cabinet just around the corner!

There may be many dangers in this process, but dangers are accompanied by opportunities!

What a great contribution it is to wipe out the remnants of the previous dynasty!Big brother lacks such a glorious achievement now!

The more Ke Qi thought about it, the more his heart surged.

Of course, Ke Qi is Ke Qi, and Big Brother is Big Brother.As for what the big brother will do, it only depends on the big brother's own ideas.
