Chapter 13: Aftermath

　　 "This is just the old slave's guess."
　　 Qian Dafu hesitated, but he knew more about Chang'an than Xiao Ming.
　　 Lu Fei looked stern, "His Royal Highness, the three princes may be aiming at you, but this time it's probably a combination of inside and outside."
　　 "How can this be?" Xiao Ming puzzled.
　　 "His Royal Highness, the general has always been extremely strict in governing the army. It is impossible for the people who enter and exit the city gate to carry bows and arrows, swords into the city, unless they are hidden in the cargo."
　　 Xiao Ming furrowed his brows, and glanced at the direction of the Wang Family Courtyard. The Qingzhou tycoons were all drinking and having fun, and the large goods were all from them. Among them, who was in harmony with the three princes?
　　 After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said, "The assassin is dead, and there is no evidence that he has died. These are all our guesses, but it is true that someone wants to murder this king."
　　 "His Royal Highness, there has never been such a heinous thing in Qingzhou. If your Highness goes out in the future, you must bring guards to protect you." Qian Dafu has always been most concerned about Xiao Ming's safety.
　　 Xiao Ming nodded, this time the incident woke him up-the world is still very dangerous.
　　 There was no result to be discussed for a while, Xiao Ming asked Lu Fei to secretly stare at the movements of the several wealthy families in the city, while strengthening the guard of the palace.
　　 News of the assassination of King Qi spread in Qingzhou that night.
　　 This is the news that Xiao Ming deliberately asked Lu Fei to release, the purpose is to stun the snake and see if there will be any abnormalities in the city.
　　 "Father, King Qi was assassinated, who do you think did it?"
　　 The dim candlelight flickered. In the pavilion of the Wang Family Mansion’s garden, Wang Shijie and his father were sitting opposite each other. The family banquet was scattered, and there was still a faint smell of alcohol in the compound. He was a little bit drunk.
　　Wang Chengchou stroked his long beard and closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something. He said: "I looked at Lieutenant Lu's actions, and it seemed that I suspected that the rich family in the city and outsiders colluded to murder King Qi."
　　 "How do you see this?" Wang Shijie asked puzzled.
　　 Wang Chengchou snorted, "Usually I let you read more poems and books. You never listen. Now you are ignorant, and the assassination of King Qi is so obscure. This Lu Fei is propagating with great fanfare. What is it not to startle the snake?"
　　 Wang Shijie shrank his head in shock, "It's not weird, but who is it? If King Qi dies, it will not be good for us."
　　 "The king of Qi is faint and doesn't know how to manage fiefs. This is a good thing for us. I believe that the other three companies just want to use the king of Qi, like us, and will not murder the king of Qi." Wang Chengcao thought.
　　 The assassination of King Qi also puzzled him. When the news came, he immediately withdrew the family dinner and sent someone out to inquire about the news.
　　 After a pause, Wang Chengchou said, "Early tomorrow morning, you bring your gifts and go to visit King Qi. It also shows the closeness of our Wang family and King Qi."
　　Wang Shijie nodded, remembering something, he said, "By the way, dad, you asked me to go to the Department of Equipment, and I went too. At that time, Qi Wang seemed to be teaching craftsmen what to build. Both briquettes and iron are used for this purpose."
"Well, you and I know King Qi's ability. I can't turn over any waves. I am sending you to worry about whether the barbarians are going to invade. Therefore, the Department of Equipment has to build weapons. If it is not, you should stop staring at it. Just win him over." Wang Chengchou looked strategizing.
　　 At the same time, the Wei family, Qin family, and Sun family in Qingzhou also said each.
　　 The next day, all the four families sent their children to visit the Qi Palace.
　　 "Brother Wang, Brother Wei, Brother Sun, Brother Qin, why are you so polite?" Early in the morning, Xiao Ming was awakened by Qian Dafu.
　　 Only when he woke up did he realize that it was the local rich family who came to visit him.
　　 Of course, this big gift needless to say, Wang Shijie, Wei Qing, Sun Dong, and Qin Mu, who are known as the four evils of Qingzhou, are all in place.
　　 These four people are all dressed up as scholars, wearing blue, red, black, and green gowns.
　　Wang Shijie was pale and sick, Wei Qing was strong and dark, Sun Dong was white and plump, while Qin Mu was tall and thin.
　　 The four people standing together really look like a ridge on the side and a peak, with different distances and heights.
　　 "His Royal Highness!" The same thing was that when they saw Xiao Ming, all four of them showed a mean smile.
　　In the country of Da Yu, ordinary people cannot read books, but the sons of the Hao people must have fame. All four of them have read books, so it can be said that they are all scholars.
　　Because there are not many scholars in Qingzhou, the four claim to be the four great talents in Qingzhou, but in the eyes of the people, they are just four evils.
　　 "Rich rich, give me a seat."
　　 Hearing the sound of Qian Dafu who was busy receiving gifts, he remembered that the four sons were still standing, and they immediately moved their chairs.
　　 "His Royal Highness, the younger brother heard that His Royal Highness was assassinated yesterday, and he was worried. He never slept all night, so he came to visit His Highness this morning." Wang Shijie looked worried, as if his father was seriously ill.
　　 "Brother Wang, it's too fake. The one who worries the most is me. Not only did the younger brother never sleep all night, he also prepared a wooden stake for his servants and killed it a thousand times as an assassin to relieve the hatred of the younger brother."
　　 Wei Qing has always claimed to be both civil and military, and has developed a muscle.
　　 "Brother Wei is too superficial, Your Highness, this time my father asked my little brother to send a hundred-year-old wild ginseng here, and turn it into his Highness to replenish his body." Sun Dong's face trembled and he was very sincere.
　　 At this time, Qin Mu showed a look of disdain. He shook the paper fan and said, "His Royal Highness, they are all too vulgar. I thought about it all night. In order to relieve His Highness's worries, I thought of a great place to go."
　　 "Isn't it You Mihe?" The three contemptuously said at the same time.
　　 I have to say that the relationship between Xiao Ming and the four scumbags in the past was good and no nonsense, so the four of them laughed and cursed in front of him, without scruples.
　　 Although Xiao Ming now puts the eradication of the tycoons in the first place, UU reading www. uukanshu.com but now I have to pretend to be the same as before.
　　 Whether it is modern or ancient, the exchange of interests is actually very simple. Basically, there are brothers on the wine table, and the knife is moving under the wine table.
　　 On the surface, everyone still wants to be friendly.
　　 However, what Qin Mu said about Mihe made Xiao Ming's heart move.
　　 Qingzhou where he is now, later Qingzhou, the location is not much different.
　　 Qingzhou is a half-mountain and half-plain terrain. It is located at the northern foot of Yimeng Mountain and Yishan Mountain. It has the largest mineral reserves of limestone and iron ore.
　　 To the south of Qingzhou City, a river runs around the city, the Mi River at the mouth of Qin Mu.
　　Before the steam engine appeared, water power was arguably the most important natural force among the people. In addition to Mi River in Qingzhou, there were Yang River and Xiaoqing River in the north. These three rivers eventually flowed into Bohai Bay.
　　 Now he teaches craftsmen how to make lathes, but it does not mean that steam engines can be made immediately.
　　These lathes are just for the convenience of making various accessories, and it takes a while for craftsmen to be able to manufacture steam engines.
　　 After all, the foundation on which the steam engine was developed is also based on mature craftsmen.
　　 But before that, he can give these craftsmen some practical opportunities, that is, to make some traditional tools, which are equivalent to the practical equipment of the Ming Dynasty at the level of technology in the late Tang and early Song.
　　 And many of these devices are related to water.
　　 Xiao Ming has always wanted to go and see these three rivers. At this time, he said, "Brother Qin's proposal is good. Go to Mihe."
