A Guide to Keeping a Domestic Unicorn

"My elder brother said that he died when he died?! Please explain clearly!" Qi Jia asked the servant.But the old man's eyes flickered, and he just urged: "Young master, go home and have a look! You will know when you arrive!"

Just never mentioning the cause of Shen Tianming's death.

Qi Jia had no choice but to follow him, but found that the old man led him through those secluded alleys and didn't take the main road at all, and became more and more suspicious.He thought that Shen Tianming was not a good person, and even sent his servants to guard him all day long. This old man can't speak clearly, his eyes are furtive, there must be ghosts!

So while the old man was walking in front, he suddenly kicked the old man against the wall, then pointed the Swiss army knife at the old man's neck, and threatened, "You old man, you still want to lie to me? Tell me! What's going on?!"

The old man always thought that Shen Tianyu was a sick man who didn't know the world, and he was very easy to deceive, but he didn't expect Qi Jia to beat someone suddenly, he was pushed against the wall, and he was almost scared to death, tremblingly said : "Second, Second Young Master! Eldest Young Master is really dead!"

Qi Jia pointed at him with a knife, turned him over to face him, and saw a corner of the bank note shaking out from the old man's clothes, he took it out and saw it was a brand new bank note of 500 taels!

You must know that the servant's salary is only a few hundred Wen per month, and one tael of silver is one thousand Wen. How could this old man have such a large denomination of bank notes?

"Where did this money come from?! Tell me!" Qi Jia pulled out the banknote and asked.

Seeing the money being dragged away, the old man was anxious to grab the money, but was kicked down by Qi Jia again—there was no porcelain for such an old man to touch in ancient times, and it was refreshing to think about it.

"Are you getting more courageous? If you don't want your life, you have to ask for money, right?" Qi Jia asked, stepping on the old man's belly.

The old man finally gave in, and only then did he tell the truth.

It turned out that early in the morning, a group of people who seemed to be from the palace broke into Shen's residence. The person who came was led by a gorgeously dressed prince who claimed to be the Thirteenth Prince and said that a man named Shen Tianyu offended him last night. , specially came to find someone.

Shen Tianming was then dragged out for questioning, but he couldn't find out about Shen Tianyu's whereabouts, so the thirteenth prince ordered to hang Shen Tianming up and beat him, and in the end, without paying attention, he beat Shen Tianming to death.

Poor Shen Tianming, under the schemes of the government, he insisted on using his younger brother as a bargaining chip to earn glory and wealth. Who knew that by mistake, he didn't earn wealth and honor, but instead caused his death!

However, beating Shen Tianming to death is not enough, the Thirteenth Prince insisted on finding Shen Tianyu for revenge, so he offered a huge reward and asked all the servants to find Qi Jia【Shen Tianyu】.The old man was probably the first to find Qi Jia, so he rushed to take him back, but he was kicked down by Qi Jia.

"The thirteenth prince is really a bastard who must take revenge!" Qi Jia thought to himself after hearing this, but Shen Tianming also died, and he just happened to be free, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't go back.

"I'll give you the banknote, but I won't go with you." Qi Jia threw the banknote on the ground and said.

"Second son, you can't leave! The prince detained everyone in the mansion! Only the men in the mansion were sent to find you! My wife and granddaughter were both detained. The prince said he couldn't find you, and everyone else would be beaten alive. They are buried with death! They cover the sky with only their hands! Even beating the eldest son to death is easy! Second son, you can't do this! I beg you!" The old man kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, and soon his forehead was bleeding.

It doesn't look like he is lying, Qi Jia also knows that many servants live in the palace with their families.He began to hesitate, if he followed to Shen's house, the thirteenth prince would definitely not let him go, it would be a dead end, but if he didn't go, maybe the thirteenth prince would really go on a killing spree, killing more than a dozen lives. I will regret it for the rest of my life!

Just as he was hesitating, there was a sudden yelling outside the narrow alley, vaguely saying: "My lord, let's go!! Get out of the way!"

Qi Jia left the old man behind and quietly came to the exit of the alley. He leaned against the wall and looked out at the avenue. He saw a group of servants pushing away many pedestrians and vendors. All the people on the avenue turned their backs on their backs, while the thirteenth prince rode a tall horse at a fast speed. Mercedes passed by, as if there was something urgent to go back.

Behind the thirteenth prince's horse, there was another eunuch riding a horse and shouted: "Your Highness, wait for me! I haven't finished yet! Your Majesty told you to go to Yinfang Palace to meet the saint! Don't forget it!"

It turned out that something happened in the palace, and the thirteenth prince was called back urgently!

Qi Jia kept saying in her heart that she was very lucky today, that the thirteenth prince went back just like that!I don't know how the people in Shen's mansion are like?So he picked up the old man Ding and said, "Lead me the way! Go to the Shen residence!"

In fact, Qi Jia was still a little worried, he was afraid that the thirteenth prince would leave his subordinates waiting for him to fall into the trap.

Qi Jia breathed a sigh of relief when he came to the gate of Shen's Mansion. It seemed that the Thirteenth Prince had an emergency and left in a hurry. He didn't send anyone to guard and surround Shen's Mansion, probably because he was afraid of leaving himself in front of the Xuanzhao eunuch who came here. An excuse to do evil, so he didn't leave his slaves behind.

Qi Jia quickly summoned his servants and distributed the 8000 taels of silver notes he had earned, telling these servants to disperse and go home quickly, so as to save the thirteen princes from making trouble and implicating innocent people in the future.

The servants were all grateful, but for the sake of self-protection, no one cared what would happen to Qi Jia, so the entire Shen residence went empty for a while.

Looking at the huge house, Qi Jia thought to himself, it's a pity to throw it away like this, but the thirteenth prince is powerful and domineering, there is no law to control him, so he left 1000 taels of silver, so he should leave as soon as possible.

It's just pity for that Shen Tianming, who was hastily covered by a servant and placed in the lobby. Qi Jia thought that no matter what, he should find a place to bury him when he died, so he wanted to go out to find a coffin shop and make a simple one for him. However, before he stepped out of Shen's house, the door was surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers!

These people seem to be from the army, they are different from the officials in the yamen, and they are not wearing the clothes of the prince's servants. Qi Jia took the courage to take a gamble and asked, "What are you going to do?"

An officer jumped off the horse and said, "We are looking for Shen Tianming, the son of General Shen. Now the capital is gathering troops to go to the southwest. Shen Tianming inherits his father's title and should go with the army!"

"Shen Tianming is my elder brother, but unfortunately he passed away in an accident this morning." Qi Jia said.

The officer handed a stack of papers to Qi Jia and said, "Then you are the second son of General Shen? In the army, the father died, the son succeeded, and the brother died. Shen Tianming is only 23 years old this year. The child should not be too old, and he will not be able to go to school." The battlefield, that’s the case, you just accept the letter of commission and go to the military headquarters to sign up to join the army! This is the emperor’s order and cannot be disobeyed. If you don’t want to be deprived of your rank and get involved in a lawsuit, report tonight before the sun sets!”

After saying that, a group of officers rode away, as if to find other soldiers who joined the army.

Holding the letter of appointment, Qi Jia was shocked: I'll wipe it!Isn't this like Mulan joining the army? !The important thing is, maybe I will fight with Qingyan! !

Qi Jia immediately ran to the coffin shop, gave the boss 100 taels of silver, and asked him to help bury Shen Tianming—get a coffin, just find a place to bury it, the money is enough for all kinds of troubles, the boss Nature is very willing.

After that, he asked for directions all the way and rushed towards the military headquarters where he signed up for the army.

Coincidentally, the thirteenth prince was only thinking about the emperor summoning him, and only after he was summoned by the emperor did he think of Qi Jia.

It turned out that Chanyu outside the Great Wall not only required the thirteen princes to be conferred kingship and fiefdom, but even required the thirteen princes to enjoy military merits. For this expedition, the emperor specially summoned the thirteen princes in private and asked him to accompany him.

The reason why he didn't announce this in the hall yesterday was because the emperor felt that the thirteenth prince was drunk, and was secretly annoyed that this son was not good enough, and he didn't want the officials to think that he was using the thirteenth prince, so he summoned him alone the next day.

The thirteenth prince was entrusted with the important task of going on an expedition, and he was treated the same as the prince, not to mention how proud he was.After leaving the palace gate, he was full of ambitions, and his nose was almost up to the sky.

I don't know if it was because of the heavy blow to the head that the thirteenth prince's memory was confused, but he didn't figure out who knocked him out in the end, and he just blamed it all on Qi Jia's head.

When he finally remembered Qi Jia and sent people to surround Shen's residence again, Qi Jia had already gone to the military headquarters to join the army and disappeared.

The thirteenth prince seemed to be in vain again. According to his past character, he must retaliate, and he will definitely let the person who annoyed him get the worst revenge. But now he is all about going out, and the one who resisted him last night and knocked himself unconscious On the contrary, Qi Jia seemed insignificant.

Emperor Taiyuan watched the thirteen princes leave the palace gate and sat on the couch thoughtfully.At this time, a shadow guard quietly appeared behind the emperor, and the emperor knocked on the table with his hand wearing a jade ring and said, "Jueying, you are my most loyal shadow guard, what do you think?"

"The thirteen princes have been repeatedly recommended by Shan Yu, and my subordinates think that the Nanzheng is not an easy matter." The masked shadow guard knelt on one knee and said.

"Then what do you think?"

"The subordinate will send the most proud disciple to protect the prince personally! Just in case!" the shadow guard said.

"I want you to go in person." The emperor squinted his eyes. His face looked quite handsome, and he looked like a young man in his twenties. In fact, Emperor Taiyuan was only 38 years old this year. With proper maintenance, he looked extremely young. It's just that it was said that when the prince's biological mother passed away, he was so hurt that his hair turned gray overnight, but now his head is full of silver threads.

"But! If this subordinate leaves, Your Majesty..." the shadow guard worried.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm very safe in the capital. The only thing that matters is the safety of the crown prince—now Shanyu has three times as many troops as our entire country. How easy it is to trample on the Central Plains with iron hooves! In order to maintain the Central Plains How difficult it is to have a stable situation!" After saying that, Emperor Taiyuan got up and stood with his hands behind his back, sighing lightly.

"The subordinates will protect the prince with death! Never let the prince make any mistakes!" the shadow guard resolutely said.

"I believe in you." Emperor Taiyuan walked to his side, leaned over and patted his shoulder.When he straightened his body, he suddenly started to cough violently. When he put down the handkerchief covering his mouth, it was already covered with blood.

"Your Majesty!" the shadow guard trembled.

"I want Hao'er to bear the heavy burden of the emperor as soon as possible...Although I can't bear him to be tortured like this...but I don't have much time..." Emperor Taiyuan coughed and said intermittently, "Jueying, only You know this secret, you must never tell anyone else! Otherwise, the world will be in chaos! You must... protect the prince!!"

"Yes!" A shadow guard as strong as Jueying couldn't help but have tears in his eyes at this moment.
