The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

Seeing this scimitar, both Lin Tian and Situ Meng's eyes lit up. This is really a desperate situation, and there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright!

"Ah! This is the scimitar they brought us for inspection last time, but they couldn't find it! Qiqige, how did you do it? It's just like that when they asked us to inspect the goods. It took a while, and they were all there at that time! I always thought that they remembered it wrong, and they didn't bring the scimitar at all!" Mo Zhigen said excitedly.

"Hehe! When they came that day, wasn't I playing the piano for the baby? When they took out all the weapons, they just placed them on the table where I played the piano. The nearest machete is hidden!

I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just thought that you didn't have a good weapon, if they found out that we were fake, then we would be in danger, so..." Qiqige looked at Mo Zhigen with a smile, and said softly explained.

Situ Meng picked up the scimitar and carefully inspected it from top to bottom. After a while, he gently put it back on the table, while frowning tightly.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Tian didn't ask any more questions, but also picked up the scimitar and looked at it slowly.

"This scimitar is brand new, and it is different from the ones on the previous ship!" Lin Tian said, looked at the handle of the knife, and continued: "Just from the craftsmanship of this knife, there is nothing special about it. Moreover, there is no mark on it or the mark left by the craftsman to represent himself. I am afraid that there is no way to find the source of such things."

"Can't you?" Qiqige frowned after hearing Lin Tian's words, and her face became even more ugly.

"Okay, Qiqige, don't think too much. Even if this clue is temporarily broken, let's think of other ways. You are still pregnant! Let's eat something quickly and rest early. Come here!" Lin Tian said, and asked the housekeeper to settle the young couple first.

Turning his head, he found that Situ Meng was still pinching his chin and bowing his head in thought, as if he had thought of something.Therefore, Lin Tian didn't bother him, but asked his servants to make breakfast and bring it up, and while eating, he also took some time to feed Situ Meng.

Situ Meng had long been used to Lin Tian's breath, so when the little bun was brought to his mouth, he subconsciously opened his mouth and ate it, without affecting the problem he was thinking at the moment at all.

Before he knew it, Lin Tian finished his breakfast and basically fed Situ Meng to his full. Lin Tian let out a little breath, thinking whether he should leave Situ Meng directly and go back to room to sleep.

Seeing that Situ Meng suddenly thought of something, he turned around and hugged her fiercely, laughing and saying:

"I thought of it! I thought of it, the most common ones can actually be checked, because the commonness itself is also a clue! Why didn't I think of it before! Hahahaha..."

"Mengmeng, speak slowly, what is ordinary is also a clue! Where does it go!" Lin Tian was at a loss when he heard it, and he didn't understand what he meant.

"Hey, Xiaotian, think about it, making weapons is not as simple as going up the mountain to chop firewood. The woodcutter will certainly not mark every piece of firewood he owns, but the craftsman who makes weapons will do it himself. Create a unique logo on the weapon that you have produced. There is no mark at all, but it is special!

We didn't get all of them this time, and it's inconvenient to go to the Ministry of Industry if we only have this one. It's better to ask people to go directly to the city to find some blacksmiths!Maybe there is a clue! "Situ Meng said with a smile on his face.

"You are right in saying that, but what I am thinking about now is the transformation of old weapons in the previous base! You said, even if the old or scrapped weapons are reprocessed and sold to the Huns, the problem Yes, where do so many scrap weapons come from?

You know, although the Ministry of War will require armies from all over the country to send all discarded weapons back to the Ministry of War, but, as far as I know, not many people actually do this. After all, the current pig iron smelting technology is not good enough, and many weapons After using it for a long time, it may be broken into several pieces, and it is meaningless to send it back.

Moreover, many military officers below earn money by reselling used weapons to wealthy families, so even in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry, it is impossible to have so many used weapons.So, where do you say he got those things from? "Lin Tian asked suspiciously.

"This question, I can't think of it now, so let's leave it for now! Let's ask people to take this machete to all the blacksmith shops in the city to ask. Xiaochengzi and Xiaotao are also good at Jiaozhou Peninsula. I don't know if I have found any clues?" Situ Meng was talking, when he saw a snow-white carrier pigeon flying in from the window.

"Hehe, this is really about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!" Lin Tian stood up with a smile, took out a note from the bamboo tube tied to the carrier pigeon's leg, and read it softly:

"After investigation, the weapons smuggled in the Jiaozhou Peninsula are likely to have come from the governor of Liangjiang, Gali! Some of the weapons still have the mark of the Ministry of War, and traced through the marks. These are all from the Liangjiang local army. The subordinates have now seized a smuggled ship. , a total of 12 standard swords and [-] bows and arrows! [-] people who participated in the weapon trade were captured, and please instruct me on the next step!"

"It's Kari again? Do you think the Zhen family will be involved in this matter?" Situ Meng's expression darkened instantly after hearing this.

"What are they trying to do? Is it possible that they still want to unite with the Huns to rebel? This is too unreasonable! If the Supreme Emperor is still there, then Situ Yong may still have a little hope, but now the Supreme Emperor is gone. , Concubine Zhen can't jump up and down, so what is he doing? He enjoys the dignity of a prince now, and besides having no real power in his hands, he has all the glory and wealth, what else do he want to do!" Lin Tian couldn't help it. Understand what these people think.

"Hmph! I'm afraid my fourteenth brother has colluded with the king of Xining and the king of Nan'an in private! Maybe they have planned something shady behind the scenes!" Situ Meng said, frowning deeply.

"Then how do we reply to them? We are not good at tampering with Nagali now! After all, the reason that those weapons come from Jiangnan is simply untenable, and don't forget, this Gali is a veteran of the three dynasties." , The power in the court must not be underestimated, and it is closely related to the four kings and eight princes and many loyal court officials!" Lin Tian also frowned when he heard this person.

"That's right! He couldn't be involved in the sale of private salt before, but it's a pity that he never did it himself, and those people below dare not come forward to correct him at all!" Situ Meng thought for a while, suddenly said:

"That's not right! This Karma ceremony is located in the south of the Yangtze River! What we asked before was only the word Guogongfu. The line that Qiqige and Mo Zhigen found out also pointed directly to the capital. You said, this is a weapon seller. Is it one group of people for the Xiongnu? Or two groups of people?"

"Yeah! This question is really getting more and more complicated!" Lin Tian felt that his brain was about to explode at this moment, and really wanted to arrest Ga Li and interrogate him, but she also knew that this was fundamentally wrong. Impossible, so I suggest:

"Simply, you go into the palace and tell the emperor what we have found now, and see what the emperor says! I don't pay attention at all now! My mind is in a mess, so I won't tell you, I have to go first Sleep for a while!"

"You! Hurry up and rest, wait until I come back from the palace! By the way, send a letter to Xiao Chengzi and the others, telling them to escort all the captured people and stolen goods back to Beijing quickly, and then let Qiqige Let Mo Zhigen see if the stolen goods found by Xiao Chengzi and the others are the same as what the two of them saw." After Situ Meng finished speaking, he changed his clothes and rode directly into the palace.

Just when Lin Tian finished washing and was about to rest, Rong Jing came over in person, saying that Mrs. Lin had sent someone here before, and asked her to go back to Lin's mansion immediately after returning home, saying that she had something very important to ask her .

"Did someone tell you what's going on?" Lin Tian asked lazily as he leaned against the bed.

"Uh...the person didn't say anything, it's just that Mrs. Lin sent someone to invite you as soon as she came back from the palace! So I guess, something might have happened in the palace!" Rong Jing said, walking forward for a few minutes step, and then whispered in Lin Tian's ear:

"Originally, the empress summoned Madam Lin to the palace to discuss the marriage between the prince and you, but the concubine De didn't know what happened, and suddenly took Miss Lin away from the imperial garden, so Madam Lin drove away her Qixiang. Gong, the two of you have had a secret conversation inside for a long time! I think that Madam Lin is in a hurry to find you because of this matter!"

"Concubine De?" Lin Tian thought for a while and asked, "Is that Jia Yuanchun who went out from Rongguo's mansion? Sister-in-law's niece?"

"Exactly!" Rong Jing nodded.

"What can be wrong with her? I have seen her several times at the Queen's place, but I have never had any personal relationship with her! In my impression, she is quite obedient, at least she never makes trouble for the Queen , and seldom participate in the jealousy among concubines, and the evaluation among the palace people is not bad! What can she do if she suddenly finds her sister-in-law! Forget it, I'd better go there myself! Rong Jing, you send Someone send a letter to my sister-in-law, saying that I will be there in a while!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he didn't go to bed anymore. After changing into a woman's attire, he didn't put on any make-up, and quietly went back to Lin's house in a very ordinary carriage with his face up to the sky.

"Sister-in-law, you are in a hurry to find me, what's the matter?" Lin Tian asked straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.

"Alas..." Jia Min sighed, dragged Lin Tian directly into the bedroom, closed the door carefully, and asked the personal maid to guard the door, and then quietly told Lin Tian the great secret that Jia Yuanchun told her. Speak up.

"Is the wife of the Jia family the former prince's daughter?" Lin Tian, ​​who was already a little drowsy, woke up in an instant with this explosive news.

"Sister-in-law, is what you said true! But, how is this possible? At the beginning, after the crown prince forced the palace to rebel and failed, the entire East Palace was bloodbathed by the first prince and the people led by the third prince. How could there be another The little girl survived!

And why did Qin Ye use his own daughter to get rid of Prince Bao's daughter!This doesn't make sense!Even if you want to change the bag, it should be a boy back!Then there might be something else that can be done in his name in the future!It's useless to get a girl out!And I can't be the emperor..." Lin Tian woke up suddenly when she said this, and an incredible thought flashed across her mind instantly.

'Yes, it is impossible for a princess to become emperor, but what if the consort is promoted in the name of the princess?Moreover, this Duke Ning's mansion is also a Duke's mansion! 'This idea is like a wild horse that has run wild, and I can't stop it anymore.

"Xiaotian, Xiaotian, what's wrong with you? Did you think of anything?" Jia Min gently patted Lin Tian who was stunned, and asked in a low voice.

"No, my mind is still a little confused now! By the way, sister-in-law, what is the purpose of Defei telling you this?" Lin Tian asked with a frown.

"No!" Jia Min shook her head affectionately, and said, "She said that she originally planned to help others to protect Daiyu's matchmaking, but after playing with Daiyu for a while, she changed her mind! I don't want to mention it again. And this matter, telling me the secret of the Qin family's wife is also because when my mother told her all this, she said that it might be useful at a critical moment! She has been carrying this secret for too long, and she is really tired, so, I just want to find someone to share, that's all!"

"Is that all?" Lin Tian murmured in a low voice.
