The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Liu Xiaoqi kidnapped Aunt Hao, Hao Qiao's niece.After entering Zhao country, he relaxed and chatted with Aunt Hao before continuing on his way.Arriving in Handan the next day, I handed Aunt Hao over to a colleague, and Liu Xiaoqi whistled and went to the next room to rest.

They lived in the post house, which was opened by the government of Zhao State.There are envoys from various countries in the embassy, ​​and armed police patrol inside and outside.It was the middle of the night, and Aunt Hao's window was tapped three times, and she hurriedly opened the window.A night walker in black jumped in and asked in a low voice, "How is Auntie?"

Aunt Hao said, "I'm fine." Then she told me what happened on the way.Nai Dao, "I don't know which country this person is from. When he entered the post just now, he took out the official seal of Qin State."

Ye Xingren said: "Since that's the case, please trouble my aunt and work hard for a few more days. Let's talk about it when we get to Laizhou." Aunt Hao nodded, and Ye Xingren came out through the window.

After dawn, Liu Xiaoqi left the posthouse, and two men with the official seal of Zhao State took over Aunt Hao, escorted her to leave Handan, changed a carriage and went to Lu State.Not long after entering the State of Lu, the carriage drove into a mansion in a certain county at noon.The three of them had a light meal, and Aunt Hao went upstairs to freshen up.

When he was about to get up in the afternoon, one of the escorts smiled and said, "Aunt Hao, let's change cars from today on."

Aunt Hao was taken aback: "A car?"

"Yes, a car." Another said, "Do you have a car in Jin State?"

He laughed first and said, "How could Jin have cars! Jin is still in a primitive society. Not to mention there are, I haven't even heard of it." They all laughed together.

That laughter was extremely piercing in Aunt Hao's ears.She thought for a while: "I heard that when the Regent of the Yan Kingdom celebrated our old lady Han's birthday, he gave us a car."

The two of them still laughed: "What's the use of that! You can't even buy gasoline!" They urged Aunt Hao to leave quickly.

The three boarded a car, the two of them sat in the front, and Aunt Hao sat in the back.Nai drove the car and ran.Aunt Hao was shocked—this car was much faster than a horse-drawn carriage, surpassing the fastest army horse.The person who was not driving in front said: "When the horses are tired, they must be rested or replaced. If the car is not used, just refuel. This will save a lot of horses."

After that, the two junior Zhao officials took turns driving.Not only is there no starry night and long journey, but it is a bit leisurely.There are not many cars on the road, and all the drivers are impressive.A few days later at dusk, the three arrived in Laizhou.There is an inn near the port in the city, where Hao Qiao was imprisoned.When the aunt and nephew met each other, they hugged each other and cried.Hao Qiao was wearing shackles, and her diet was mixed with medicine, so she couldn't escape.

It turned out that Hao Qiao entrusted a food delivery person to bring out the charcoal calligraphy and painting hastily when he was in Handan, and there was no monk.Obviously things fell into the enemy's hands and were taken advantage of.Hao Qiao sighed softly, and told the story of her capture.

Aunt Hao was shocked: "Jia Cong did it?!"

Hao Qiao smiled wryly and said, "Even if you know it, what's the use if you can't get any news out." Then she asked her niece how she got here.Aunt Hao also told the story of her kidnapping.Hao Qiao shook his head and said, "I originally thought that Jia Cong is quite afraid of me, and maybe someone will test you. With your intelligence, Bao Buqi can guess some traces. After all, he is still in our city of Taiyuan .If you can catch him, it will be much easier to save me. Who knew he played such a trick.”

Aunt Hao smiled and said, "Auntie is doing well." Nai winked.

Hao Qiao frowned, then looked at her niece's clothes, and said in surprise, "They didn't change your clothes?"

Aunt Hao said: "No. I am a woman, and all the escorts on the road are men."

Hao Qiao hurriedly pulled her and asked in a low voice, "Did someone find you in the library?" Aunt Hao nodded her head with bright eyes, with a big smile on her lips.Hao Qiao stumbled and said, "We can go to Nanyang with a few more people." Aunt Hao was taken aback.Hao Qiao shook his head and remained silent.

It was already dark at this time, and the lights outside were brightly lit.Several bright lights in the courtyard were turned on, and Aunt Hao was very surprised: "What kind of light is that? It's so bright!"

"Battery circuit lights." Hao Qiao murmured looking out the window, "It's really not my opponent. Forget it, admit defeat."

Not long after, someone knocked on the window.Aunt Hao hurriedly opened the window.Pedestrians jumped in that night last time and saluted Hao Qiao with tears in their eyes: "Commander Hao, I hope you will forgive me for the late rescue."

Hao Qiao sighed, "How many people are here?"

"36 people."

"So many?" Hao Qiao frowned, "Will the prince agree? Is there enough manpower in the palace?"

Ye Xingren laughed and said: "The prince said that the subordinates must find Commander Qiao, no matter how many people there are."

Hao Qiao rolled her eyes and said, "Forget it, food and clothing expenses are all from their federation." Ye Xingren and Aunt Hao were both stunned.Hao Qiao sighed again, "Jia Cong's subordinates are so meticulous in their actions, how could they miss such a big loophole when you track them down. This is their territory."

Just as he was talking, a whistle sounded outside the window, and the street lights suddenly went out.The night walker hurriedly probed out, and saw many soldiers wearing round helmets appearing on the walls of the surrounding courtyard, pointing their guns at the roof and the courtyard.The night walkers he brought were surrounded.I was shocked.

Hao Qiaolang said: "Okay. They are lying in ambush on all sides, and their firearms are much stronger than ours. They can't beat them. That's it." He ordered his men to surrender.Not long after, all 36 night walkers who followed from the state of Jin were captured.

A short and fat official came over with a smile and bowed his hands to Hao Qiao: "Uncle Hao has worked hard. We have discussed with Lord Zhou. You will board the boat tomorrow morning and sail directly to Yecheng, the capital of Java. The eldest princess Zhou Damei will meet you later. I’ll go to the port to pick you up personally. Let’s take a vacation. If you want to write a letter to your family to report your safety, you can do it tonight.”

Hao Qiao said with a faint smile, "Then I believe you will add something."

The official said righteously: "We have to take it apart for inspection. We must not let you tip off the news."

Hao Qiao said: "I just don't understand why you arrested so many of us to Nanyang."

The official waved his fingers and said, "The number of people in Jin's library has decreased by 36. Your four highnesses have contacted SHIELD, which recognizes money but does not recognize people."

"SHIELD?" Hao Qiao frowned, "What does he have to do with SHIELD?"

The official said casually: "It's a long story. There is a girl whose elders made a fortune in North America, and hired S.H.I.E.L.D. to pick her up from the state of Jin and pass through the state of Zhao. The girl saw that the dried persimmons on the street were very sweet, so she bought them." Ten catties, hired SHIELD to send it to her lover. That lover is your Fourth Highness Situ Wei. Situ Wei is smart, guessed who the person who bought the persimmons was, and also guessed that the man who delivered to him was not an ordinary peddler. So we got on the line."

Hao Qiao thought for a moment and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. is not hard to find, but it's very expensive to hire them. How much money does the Fourth Highness have?"

The official smiled and said: "No problem. Our lord and S.H.I.E.L.D. are old friends, and we negotiated that they would only quote Situ Wei one-tenth of the price, and we will pay the rest. Anyway, we are not short of money and people. Unlike you King Jin, it costs money to build railways, to redeem fine works, and to rebuild the imperial city. Seeing that the flood season is coming, the Fen River may be even more expensive. The treasury is empty! Not much. We took some trouble to coax everyone to leave Taiyuan, so the library is missing 36 or 300 places, right? We have more than [-] people outside, and these people will escort you to Nanyang tomorrow with the sea boat. But how many people do we still need? How many. Even if it is a ratio of one to ten, the state of Jin can't consume us at all."

Hao Qiao was startled.After a long while, he said with a wry smile: "It's really...not enough. I still don't understand what your lord's idea is."

The official pinched his fingers and said: "Uncle Hao, don't worry. You will find out when you go shopping in Java for a while and then read the newspaper." Then he glanced at the prisoners, "Don't worry, everyone's family will be fine. Yes." Nai cupped his hands and left.

As soon as he left, everyone went to see Hao Qiao.Hao Qiao said: "Ask them for paper and pen to write letters. I won't be able to come back for a year or so." Turning around and seeing the circuit lights in the courtyard turned on, she let out another long sigh.

Early the next morning, Hao Qiao and others were escorted onto the ship by soldiers and left the port for the sea.Talking about running away, he couldn't even find a chance to report.Three or forty people stood at the bow of the boat, watching the coast get farther and farther away.Hao Qiao thought for a while, then asked the escorting general, "Does the State of Lu not care about your federation placing so many soldiers in the State of Lu?"

The general said: "Although the State of Lu has not yet joined the Federation, it has long been our territory." Hao Qiao was stunned, and then smiled wryly.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.Jin State Library received a letter from a colleague from Zhao State, saying that he had followed Aunt Hao.She was kidnapped by an official from the state of Qin, and she wanted to be sent to Laizhou port of the state of Lu to meet with Commander Qiao and then bound to Java together.The king of Jin was shocked, not wanting the second child to be involved in several countries, and he ordered to strengthen his guard.

Yu Shitai began to investigate the cases committed by Shizi's subordinates in detail.Because the subordinates of the Third Highness had given all the important information, it was very easy to check, and within a few days, more than a dozen adults were imprisoned.Jia Cong hurriedly sent another letter to King Jin, saying that he was short of people in North America, especially people who could read.If the prince wants to severely punish these officials of your country, please don't kill them and sell them to me.Last time Qi State rectified the administration of officials, searched dozens of households, all of which were bought by the Western English Kingdom, and now many of them have become Empress Liu's staff.King Jin took a look, these people can still sell money?Coincidentally, the lonely king still has so many fine works that need to be redeemed with money.Immediately agreed with a swipe of the pen.

Of the five grown-up princes, four closed their doors and thought about their mistakes, and only Situ Wei was able to roam outside the mansion.Every day, I went to Zhongshu Provincial Yamen to discuss matters with Zhang Su and others as usual, and I got a good impression every day.There is no shortage of speculators in the world.Immediately, people began to come to his house to take refuge, give gifts, and please.Situ Wei shook his fan and sighed: "It can be regarded as living like a privileged class."

He was thinking, the people who have taken refuge at the moment are not outstanding, and he lacks a reliable person by his side.However, he has just started in the foreign court now, so he can't be too conspicuous.After thinking about it for a long time, I thought of a person.So he sent a letter to Gan Kexi in code words, asking him to meet tomorrow night.For a while, Gan Kexi replied that he would not be free tomorrow night, so what about the day after tomorrow.Situ Wei agreed.

But now someone sent a post.It turned out that tomorrow was Han Fei's birthday, and he invited a few people to have a drink in Zhuangzi in the suburbs. He borrowed his grandmother's car to play.Thinking that His Royal Highness liked that thing, tomorrow happened to be a holiday, and asked him if he would like to go together.Situ Wei was overjoyed.How could Han Qi allow the eldest son to invite the prince to a private banquet at will?Please allow it.

The next day, Situ Wei went to Han's house first, wearing a Western dress and a Western top hat.When they met Han Fei, they looked at each other and smiled, seeing that he was also wearing a western dress.After a while, Han Lu came out, simply wearing the sportswear of Ivy League University.Han Fei treated Situ Wei with a bit of respect, and Han Lu only regarded him as a classmate from the school next door.For a while, several princes and grandsons came.Situ Wei took a look, and there were two teenagers wearing Yenching University uniforms, so he asked someone to inquire.It turned out that one of them was a younger brother of the imperial concubine's family, a freshman in the Department of Journalism at Yan University; the other was Zhang Wenlan, a junior in the Department of Architecture.After a while, Gan Kexi also came!Yin Zhuang pretended to be a guard and followed behind him.Gan Kexi was taken aback when he saw Situ Wei.The two looked at each other and pretended not to know each other tacitly.Seeing that all the guests had arrived, Han Fei asked everyone to go out together.

A group of people came to the Zhuangzi of the Han family on a short trip, and a steward came out to welcome them.He smiled and said: "Master, everything is ready." At the back, I saw that the cement road was neatly repaired here, and from a distance I could see the car that Jia Cong gave to Mrs. Han parked in the big grass shed forward.Everyone galloped over, jumped off their horses in front of the car, and watched carefully.Many people had never seen this thing before, and they all thought it strange, and asked Han Fei what made it happen.

Han Fei said with a smile: "I should ask the Fourth Highness about this, they are already running on the streets of Dajiala."

Situ Wei said: "There are not many Dajiala. But the production is increasing quickly." Nai smiled and looked at Zhang Wenlan, "This brother is wearing the Yanda school uniform. I don't know how the capital is?"

Zhang Wenlan said: "The capital city is probably smaller than Dajiala, so the government and wealthy people can afford it. But Baoding Prefecture is already building a car factory, and Tianjin Dagang has also found an oil field."

Situ Wei said: "I remember the newspaper said that Jia Cong calculated the Dagang Oilfield by pinching his fingers?"

Zhang Wenlan smiled and said, "God only knows. Whether he figured it out or not, it's a good thing if you find it anyway."

Situ Wei caressed the glass of the car, and sighed: "Dajiala's cars are all on the road, and our Jin country is still very strange. It's really far behind."

Han Lu said: "What is this? Just buy it with money. It is not this that Jin is backward. Human trading is prohibited in all parts of the Federation, and Jin is still using slaves. This year, Qin Prime Minister Zhu Tong has reformed the tax system. The literati in the country not only do not pay land tax, their relatives even pay less business tax. The more economically developed the local casino tax is, the higher the gambling tax in our Jin country is only ten and two. I have raised the gambling tax many times. Classmate Situ Wei, why didn't you agree?"

Situ Wei spread his hands: "How would I know! I was in Dajiala just like you three months ago, okay?"

Han Fei coughed twice: "The DPRK and China are very obstructive."

Several people asked in unison: "Who is hindering?"

Han Fei said: "It's too late. We'll discuss this matter later. That's all right, all right, let's drive and play."

Everyone was a little disappointed.Han Fei had already opened the car door and asked, "Who will get in first?"

Someone laughed and said, "Naturally, His Royal Highness will go up first."

Situ Wei really liked cars, so he got on first.As soon as the accelerator was stepped on, the car ran away suddenly, and those who had never seen it were amazed.Anyway, Gan Kexi hid behind the crowd before it was his turn, narrowed his eyes and watched Situ Wei drive the car farther and farther, and disappeared around the corner.
