Liu Jinghong grabbed Qi Lengzi's clothes and asked nervously: "Say it quickly, say it quickly. This is a big deal. If Master Li really has a lover, please remember it. Maybe Master Li can't do it because of some knots in his heart." If we are with her, then we must untie Master Li's knot."
Jia Liping also helped: "Yes. Master Li has never been attracted to any woman. Although no one said it, everyone is worried. They are afraid that Master Li will be lonely in this life, and everyone is afraid that Master Li will have no children. Master Li is not an ordinary person. , there must be his bloodline to inherit his inheritance. Do you know how serious this matter is? If it is known that Master Li has someone he likes, the country will be moved. If the woman in Master Li's heart is really gone, then countless people People in the Qing Dynasty will look for women for Master Li based on these characteristics."
"Lao Qi. Don't let go of any clues. Tell me quickly."
“…”
Qi Lengzi sat down, holding his head tightly with both hands, his face full of pain: "It's very difficult, I can't think of it now. I know the importance of this matter, and I also want to see Li Zhen marry someone Wife, I watched him grow up. I was his brother when he was a child, and nothing is more important than his happiness. However, my memory is really blurry."
"Is there such a thing? When did you find out that Master Li had a lover?"
Qi Lengzi closed his eyes and frowned: "I don't know if Li Zhen has a lover. But I can remember that after he passed the top exam, I accompanied him to the Eight Dragon City to face the saint. On the way, Master Li suddenly suddenly He fell asleep for a long time, and then suddenly burst out of his sleep, shouting. It seemed like he was shouting a person's name."
"what name!"
Jia Liping stood up.
Liu Jinghong also stared at Qi Lengzi closely.
Qi Lengzi slapped his forehead: "I remember that he called someone's name, but I just can't remember it. I don't remember what he said at that time, I just know that he called someone's name. , name... name. What's your name? Oh, it's been so many years, I can't remember it. I can't remember it at all."
Liu Jinghong said anxiously: "Think about it again."
Jia Liping closed his eyes and pondered, and murmured: "The note said, 'You are trapped by love.' Is Master Li really trapped by love? It exploded in his sleep, calling a person's name. That means that this person is hidden in his heart. Deep, deep. What is it? What is her name?"
Qi Lengzi groaned in pain: "I can't remember her name!"
There was silence for a long time. The three of them looked at Li Zhen's bedroom, where the door was closed, with heavy thoughts.
We must help Master Li find this woman, even if Master Li resists or doesn't want to mention it due to various reasons. Also help him find it.
Because Li Zhen has never been tempted by other women. This makes it difficult for everyone.
Carrying on the family line is a big deal, and such excellent genes as Li Zhen must be passed on.
Maybe the person who tied the bell needs to untie it. Knowing Li Zhen's past feelings, even if he can't find the woman. At least he can find a way to open up Master Li's heart and let him find a new love. Anyway, Master Li needs to be able to marry a wife.
After a long silence. Qi Lengzi suddenly stood up and shouted in surprise: "I know."
"What do you know?"
"I can't remember it, but someone can. Yes, there was another person who was there."
"who?"
Qi Lengzi said in surprise: "Mingkang, it's Mingkang. When Mingkang and I were chatting in the carriage, Li Zhen suddenly burst into laughter and shouted someone's name crazily. Mingkang was also present."
Liu Jinghong and the other two frowned: "Who is Mingkang?"
"After Li Zhen passed the imperial examination, the Kyushu imperial court at that time sent Li Zhen to meet the imperial officials. Mingkang."
The two were dumbfounded.
The Kyushu imperial court is long gone.
Liu Jinghong asked: "Where is Mingkang now?"
Qi Lengzi spread his hands: "I don't know either. I haven't contacted him since I left Beijing, but I'm sure Mingkang will remember him."
"Why are you so sure?"
Qi Lengzi said with a bitter face: "My brain is not good. But Mingkang has a very lively mind. He was an official in the imperial court at the time. If an official's brain and memory were not good, wouldn't he have died countless times?" Mingkang has a very good memory."
"Look for Mingkang."
"First contact the New Kyushu Government, if I am not wrong. When the New Kyushu Government was established, a large number of people from the imperial court came to join them. They were all from the imperial faction. Now many of them are officials in Beijing. Investigation Let’s see if we can find this person.”
"I'm just afraid that during the several wars at that time, he would die in the flames of war."
"Let's get in touch first and then talk."
“…”
Half an hour later, Quancheng County.
"Emperor, an urgent telegram from Laoshan."
"Laoshan?"
Du Taiping murmured and stood up quickly: "Read it."
"Hello, Emperor. My name is Liu Jinghong. Now we are looking for someone named Mingkang. He was once an official of the Kyushu imperial court. When Master Li was admitted to the imperial examination, he was the person in charge of taking Master Li to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit. Now the situation has changed drastically. , the imperial factions are also dispersed and reorganized. I hope the emperor can retrieve the files and find out where Mingkang is. Urgent, please."
After Du Taiping listened to the telegram, he frowned deeply: "Mingkang? Who is Mingkang?"
Du Taiping did not react in a hurry, but sat down and began to recall. He used to be a senior official in the imperial court, and was the head of the Office of Official Supervision.
Since Liu Jinghong said that he was an internal official of the imperial court, then the appointment of internal officials must also come from the Official Supervision Office.
But Du Taiping couldn't remember it even if he thought about it. After all, there were too many internal officials and Du Taiping appointed too many people. Mingkang was not a high official, so how could he remember Du Taiping
Then, Du Taiping fell into thinking again: "The person who took Li Zhen to Beijing to face the saint? So if you put it this way, Mingkang is still Li Zhen's guide? Now the Kyushu Academy of Sciences is looking for this person? What is its purpose?"
After pondering for a long time, Du Taiping had no clue and could only call the minister of the "Appointment Department" of the Kyushu Party of the New Kyushu Government.
The Appointment Department is similar to the former Government Supervision Department. However, it has less power than the Official Supervision Office. The Appointment Department is only responsible for arranging the appointment and deployment of Jiuzhou Party members. Not responsible for the power of life and death.
"Emperor?"
Du Taiping nodded, looked at the minister of the Appointment Department, and said: "In the past, there was a high official in the imperial court named Mingkang. When Dean Li was admitted to the top exam, he was responsible for taking Dean Li to Beijing to face the saints. The person in charge, please check where Mingkang went after the country changed. Has he entered my new Kyushu system and where is he now."
"Yes, Emperor."
After arranging the tasks, Du Taiping fell into deep thought.
Mingkang
Why are you looking for this person
