Chapter 407 The unknown secret
Mrs. Niu took the osmanthus flowers he dropped below and said, "I've already asked someone to prepare breakfast. We got up early today, so we might have to wait a while before we can eat."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not very hungry now."
Siming said this as he reached out to take the basket from her hand and handed it to Governor Niu, replacing the basket in his hand that was already full of osmanthus flowers.
Mrs. Niu took the basket full of osmanthus flowers with a smile, poured the flowers into the winnowing basket, and picked out some branches and leaves on it.
"Grandma, my brother and I can help." Juanjuan came over at some point.
"Okay!" Mrs. Niu smiled and brought the dustpan closer to the two children. "We can pick out the branches and leaves and just keep the flowers."
"Okay!" The two children sat on the small stools beside them.
While imitating Mrs. Niu in picking branches and leaves, he looked up at the two people picking osmanthus flowers in the yard.
At this moment, Mrs. Niu felt that Siming was her child, and the two little guys were really her grandchildren. It was a great feeling.
She hoped this time could be longer and slower.
It would take them a while to pick all the osmanthus flowers from the osmanthus trees in the yard.
After breakfast, the selected osmanthus flowers had been washed and drained by the servants.
Mrs. Niu prepared osmanthus cake and osmanthus candy for the children.
When they leave, they can take it back and eat it.
Two little tails followed behind her to help her.
Although I often ended up doing more harm than good, I filled the whole kitchen with laughter.
General Niu and Siming sat under the eaves, brewing tea and looking at the snow scene in the yard, looking towards the kitchen from time to time.
Both of them had warm smiles on their faces.
"If you were not a governor, I really hope you could stay." Governor Niu sighed.
"When the country is stable, maybe we can live together again." Siming picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Your journey here was very dangerous this time. Fortunately, you and your two children are fine." Governor Niu knew from reading the newspaper that things were not that simple.
"It's also considered lucky that the person we caught confessed quickly without interrogation. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to get to you safely." Siming said calmly.
"Did you order the bombing of the consulate?" Governor Niu poured him more tea.
"Yeah. They've made trouble for me. If I don't teach them a lesson, they'll think we're easy to bully." Si Ming didn't want to hide anything from anyone.
He dared to take the story to the newspaper and bomb the consulate the next day just to tell those people that he, Siming, was not a pushover.
"Although there is no evidence, they all know that it was you who did it. I'm afraid the road ahead will be even more difficult." Governor Niu sighed.
"Before the country is stable, no road will be easy. What we see now is nothing but superficial calm." Si Ming's eyes were calm.
"I used to think that your father's and my generation were rare enough, but now it seems that the truly rare generation is yours." Governor Niu sighed.
"It's not easy for anyone." Si Ming looked towards the kitchen.
I just hope that all the difficulties will end with him, so that they can live in peace and happiness until they grow old.
The two of them didn't speak again. Many words didn't change much.
What they didn't know was that Siming's disturbance caused a big commotion in the northern government.
The President had previously heard some rumors that Pei Jingming was a spy of the Taisho Empire.
Originally he thought it was just some rumors, but slowly some news appeared in his hands.
What happened in the alliance over the years made him increasingly suspicious of Pei Jingming's intentions.
He began to have people secretly investigate Pei Jingming, but the more he investigated, the darker his face became.
Looking at the evidence in his hand, he was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand.
This damn bastard is hiding really well.
"Mr. President, should we have him arrested?" the secretary asked the President.
"Don't worry, he is still useful now. Since they want our country, they must pay a price." The President raised his hand to stop his thoughts.
Pei Jingming is still useful now, and I still need him to purchase some military equipment from the Taisho Empire for the time being. It will not be too late to deal with him when he is completely useless.
Now we just need to be careful about him and not let him get access to more core things.
As for Sima Ming of Beiyang City, he underestimated him, but the country did need people like him.
I was deceived by Pei Jingming before, and now it’s time to win him over.
The secretary didn't know what he was thinking, so he just stood there waiting quietly.
The President said: "Pei Jingming's work will continue as usual. Just give him fake documents. No real documents will pass through his hands. And our attitude towards him should not change."
"Don't let him realize that we are on guard against him. Also, let him speed up the purchase of the military equipment we want."
"If he doesn't do his job well, he won't be able to hold this position."
The secretary had to say that the president was also a ruthless person. He wanted to use Pei Jingming till nothing was left. However, such a person did not deserve sympathy even if he died a thousand times.
When Pei Jingming saw the newspaper, he smashed everything in the house to pieces.
He never imagined that with so many time bombs, Siming and the two little guys could escape from the train.
Finally, he even blew up the consulate of the Taisho Empire. Now the empire is very dissatisfied with him. If he can't get the antiques, he might die without knowing how.
At this time, the northern government also put pressure on him to purchase military equipment as soon as possible, otherwise he would be asked to move.
Until now, he still doesn't know what went wrong, as everything was going smoothly for him before.
The intelligence and information I need are easily obtained, and I have never failed to get what I want.
But why has it turned out like this now? There must be something he missed.
He returned to his secret room and looked at the wall about everything that had happened in Beiyang City during this period.
When he saw Juanjuan's name again, his pupils shrank.
Could it really be this little girl?
The root of everything started from the appearance of this little girl in the Governor's Mansion. First, the dead child Si Jinchen came back to life and his health was getting better and better.
Then the Governor's Office, which was in financial difficulty, started to have money, which has caused it to suffer losses everywhere.
It all started when this little girl arrived at the Governor's Mansion.
He dug up Juanjuan's past and had someone check it out. She had no children before, but she became pregnant half a year after she picked up the girl.
Could it be that this little girl has some unknown secret?
No, I must get to the bottom of this matter. If she really has magical powers, I must bring her back to the Taisho Empire.
