Chapter 13

"It's just the old slave's guess."

Qian Dafu hesitated, but he knew more about Chang'an than Xiao Ming.

Lu Fei looks cold, "Your Highness, the three princes may be aimed at you, but this time it's not a coincidence."

"How can that be said?" Xiao Ming is puzzled.

"Your Highness, the last general has always been very strict in the management of the army. It is impossible for the people who go in and out of the city gate to carry bows, arrows, swords into the city, unless they are hidden in the goods."

Xiao Ming's brows are locked, and he has a look at the direction of the Wang's courtyard. There, the Qingzhou aristocrats are drinking and having fun, and the large-scale goods are from them. Who and the third prince are working together inside and outside?

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said, "the assassin is dead, and there is no evidence to prove his death. These are all our guesses, but it's true that someone wants to kill Wang."

"Your Highness, there has never been such a heinous crime in Qingzhou. If your highness goes out in the future, he must take the bodyguard with him for protection." Qian Dafu has always been most concerned about Xiao Ming's safety.

Xiao Ming nodded his head. This incident woke him up - the world is still very dangerous.

At the same time, Xiao Ming asked Lu Fei to keep an eye on the movements of several powerful families in the city and strengthen the protection of the palace.

The news of the assassination of king Qi spread in Qingzhou that night.

This is the news Xiao Ming deliberately let Lu Fei release, the purpose is to scare the snake, to see if there will be abnormal in the city.

"Dad, king Qi was assassinated. Who do you think did it?"

In the garden pavilion of Wang's mansion, Wang Shijie and his father sit opposite each other. The family dinner is over. There is still a faint smell of wine in the courtyard. He is slightly drunk.

Wang Chengchou smoothed his long beard and closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something. He said: "I look at the action of Lu Xiaowei. It seems that I suspect that it is the powerful families in the city who conspire with outsiders to murder the king of Qi."

"How do you see that?" Wang Shijie was puzzled.

Wang Chengchou snorted coldly, "you never listen to me when I ask you to read more poems. Now I'm ignorant. It's so obscure that the king of Qi was assassinated. But Lu Fei is blatantly preaching it. What's this not to scare the snake with grass?"

Wang Shijie shrunk his head in fright. "It's strange. It's just who? If king Qi dies, it's not good for us. "

"The king of Qi was confused and didn't know how to manage the fiefdoms, which is a good thing for us. I believe the other three families just want to use the king of Qi, just like us, but not to murder him." Wang Chengchou pondered.

The assassination of the king of Qi also puzzled him. When the news came, he immediately withdrew the family banquet and sent people out to inquire about the news.

After a short pause, Wang chengchip said: "tomorrow morning, you take your gifts to visit the king of Qi. It also shows the closeness between our Wang family and the king of Qi."

Wang Shijie nodded and thought of something. He said, "by the way, Dad, you asked me to go to the equipment department, and so did I. at that time, the king of Qi seemed to be teaching craftsmen what to make. This coal cake and iron are used for this purpose."

"Well, you and I all know the skill of king Qi. We can't turn over any waves. I send you to worry about whether the barbarians will invade, so the equipment department wants to build weapons. Since it's not, you should stop staring at it. You can win him over on weekdays." Wang chengchip looks like a strategist.

At the same time, the Wei family, the Qin family and the sun family in Qingzhou also talked about it respectively.

The next day, all four families sent their children to visit king Qi's residence.

"Brother Wang, brother Wei, brother sun and brother Qin, why are you so polite?" Early in the morning, Xiao Ming was awakened by Qian Dafu.

Only when I woke up did I realize that it was the local aristocrats who came to visit him.

Needless to say, all the gifts, such as Wang Shijie, Wei Qing, sun Dong and Qin Mu, are in place.

The four men were all dressed up as scholars, wearing blue, red, black and green long shirts.

Wang Shijie is pale and ill. Wei Qing is strong and dark. Sun Dongbai is fat and round, while Qin Mu is tall and thin.

Four people stand together, it's really a horizontal view of the mountains, side peaks, high and low from far to near.

"Your Highness!" The same thing is that when they see Xiao Ming, they all smile.

In the state of Dayu, ordinary people can't afford to read books, but the children of the haos must have a reputation. All four of them have read books, so to speak, they are all scholars.

Because there are not many scholars in Qingzhou, the four call themselves the four great talents in Qingzhou, but in the eyes of the common people, they are just four evils.

"Rich, sit down."

When Qian Dafu heard the news, he remembered that the four young masters were still standing. He immediately asked someone to move the chairs.

"Your Highness, I was worried when I heard that your highness was assassinated yesterday. I didn't sleep all night. I came to visit your highness early this morning." Wang Shijie looks worried, like his father is seriously ill.

"Brother Wang, it's too fake. What worries me most is that I didn't sleep all night. I also asked my servants to prepare a stake and kill it as an assassin for thousands of times to relieve my hatred."

Wei Qing has always claimed to be good at both literature and martial arts."Brother Wei is superficial, your highness. This time my father asked my younger brother to send a hundred year old ginseng to my highness to mend his body." Sun Dong face fat shake, very sincere.

At this time, Qin Mu showed a look of disdain. He gently shook the paper fan and said, "Your Highness, they are too vulgar. I thought about it all night. In order to get rid of your Highness's worries, I thought of an excellent place."

"Isn't that youmi river?" Three people despise way at the same time.

It has to be said that Xiao Ming had a good relationship with the four scum before, but they didn't talk nonsense. Therefore, the four people also laughed and scolded in front of him, and they didn't care.

Although Xiao Ming has put the eradication of the evil of the powerful families in the first place now, he has to pretend to be the same as before.

Whether in modern or ancient times, the exchange of interests is actually very simple. Basically, there are brothers on the wine table and knives under the wine table.

On the surface, we still want to be friendly.

However, what Qin Mu said about Mihe moved Xiao Ming's mind.

Qingzhou, where he is now, is later Qingzhou City, and its location is not very different.

Qingzhou belongs to half mountain and half plain terrain, located in Yimeng Mountain, the northern foot of Yishan mountain, with the largest reserves of limestone and iron ore.

In the south of Qingzhou City, a river passes around the city, which is the Mihe River in qinmukou.

Before the advent of steam engine, water power was the most important natural force among the people. In addition to MI River, there were Yanghe River and Xiaoqing River in the north of Qingzhou. These three rivers eventually flowed into Bohai Bay.

Now he teaches craftsmen how to make lathes, but it doesn't mean that steam engines can be made right away.

These lathes are just for the convenience of making various accessories. It takes a while for craftsmen to be able to make steam engines.

After all, the steam engine was developed on the basis of mature craftsmen.

But before that, he could give these craftsmen some opportunities to practice, that is, to make some traditional tools, which, in terms of the level of science and technology in the late Tang and early Song Dynasties, is equivalent to the practical instruments of the Ming Dynasty.

And many of these devices are water related.

Xiao Ming always wanted to go to the three rivers. At this time, he said, "brother Qin's proposal is good. Let's go to MI river."
