The topic of dinosaurs is not easy to explain, of course, for Li Su, the most important thing is to be too lazy to explain, this topic has been extended, probably starting from the origin of species, from single cells to the Cretaceous, and then to apes, and this topic is obviously in conflict with the myths and legends of Pangu opening the world and Nuwa creating man, Li Zhi will definitely not be convinced and want to argue with him, and the fight will inevitably end with Li Su's violent suppression in the end.

Because of one topic, so many things are done, how troublesome.

So Li Su decided to skip it and find a topic that could perfectly match Li Zhi's IQ, in order to achieve the effect of enjoying the guests and hosts.

However, the little kid Li Zhi obviously didn't want to miss such an interesting topic, and Li Su tried to change the topic twice, but he successfully came around.

"What does a Tyrannosaurus rex mean? Legend has it that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, a prison cow, a jaw, a mocking wind, etc., but there is no one called Tyrannosaurus rex...... "Li Zhi's eyes blinked, full of curiosity.

"Oh, it may be the illegitimate son of the dragon, or it is the concubine born to the concubine, and it is not recorded in the family tree." Li Su said casually.

The perfunctory answer made Li Zhi thoughtful: "It may sound a bit nonsense, but it is not completely unreasonable...... I heard that in the ninth year of Zhenguan, a farmer dug up a large skull in Qishan, which looked like a dragon, and its jaw opened to contain a man in the prime of life, presumably the dragon did exist......"

Li Su was a little surprised, people in this era actually dug up dinosaur fossils?

wanted to end this topic, but Li Zhi raised a new question: "But it still doesn't make sense, dragons are soaring clouds and mist, above the nine heavens, they should have already broken away from the cycle of life and death, and live with the sky, why can their bones still be found in the world?" ”

"Maybe it crashed while flying......" Li Su smiled and stroked the dog's head: "Go back and ask your father, theoretically speaking, your father is evolved from a dragon, and at night he may still scream in the palace...... Has His Highness eaten enough? If you don't go home quickly when you're full, what are you doing at my house? ”

…………

It is easier to entertain the Tubo minister's errand, and when he comes to Chang'an, he will take him all over the city to play, like a traitor translator who leads the way for the imperial army, if this Tubo is more lustful, he has to take him to visit the Qinglou, whenever his eyes are shining and saying a Tubo language such as "Flower Girl Yo Xi", Li Su has to help him arrange it, and by the way, he has to pay him for prostitution, and then stand outside the door and wait for him to finish......

This kind of errand...... It doesn't look like an ordinary cheap, Li Su suddenly felt a little stuffy.

The next day, someone from the Ministry of Rites sent a notice that the official of the Tubo Prime Minister had arrived in Fengzhou and arrived in Chang'an within five days, and asked Li Xianhou to get ready.

Li Su thought about it, and felt that the only preparation he could make was to fill the money bag with silver cakes, which was used to pay prostitution to the Tibetan minister, of course, he had to issue invoices, otherwise he would not be able to report to the household department, and if he was ashamed, the invoice could also be issued as "office supplies".

It was the summer solstice, and the haze of the snow disaster gradually dispersed from Datang, from the midwinter of last year to the summer solstice of this year, Datang can be said to have gritted its teeth and survived another severe test.

When the spring sowing was delayed, the land was still barren, the imperial court from the various provinces urgently prepared to transport the disaster relief food to Chang'an, the displaced people outside Chang'an City still lived a half-starved and half-full life, although everyone knew that this was a disaster year, but the refugee tent area outside the city did not have that solemn and tense atmosphere, everyone stayed in the tent, every day to the meal came out of the residential area, quietly and orderly queued up to receive food, after eating, consciously and silently returned to the tent area, continued to wait for the next meal.

Occasionally, a few indistinct Qin tones could be heard from the residential area, accompanied by a burst of relaxed laughter, and the shy scolding of the mothers-in-law, apparently someone opened the meat tone in their spare time, and after a burst of laughter, the tent returned to quiet, and it didn't take long to hear the cry of the child again, followed by the coaxing of the adults, and the children making trouble......

Very life-like atmosphere, crying, laughing, scolding, every voice is full of strong market flavor, a piece of endless tents seem to have become a vibrant town market, everyone living in it is a member of the town, everyone shares sorrow and joy, joy and sorrow.

Unfortunately, the tent is not a town, it is at most a post house for passers-by, some people come and some people leave, and they meet and separate every day.

When the snow melted and the weather warmed, the displaced people began to leave with their families, and the officials of the government were hoarsely propaganda every day, persuading the people to return to their hometowns, seize the agricultural time, and prepare to plant some crops in time, and if the wheat could not be planted, they could still grow beans, rape, and melons, and repeatedly promised that the local government would still provide relief food until they survived this disaster year.

After all, the people have backbone and self-esteem, and no one wants to be raised by the government like a waste, so as time goes by, the parting in the tent area becomes more and more frequent.

Bidding farewell to the villagers who get along day and night, and then solemnly bowing in the direction of Chang'an City, one after another of the displaced people left the tent and embarked on the way home.

Meeting because of disaster, parting because of hope, every hour of the day, the same farewell and crying are staged in the tent outside Chang'an City, and when you turn around, you are full of longing smiles.

Xu Jingzong came to Li's house very suddenly.

Counting the days, it seems that I haven't seen him for a long time, Li Shimin's northern expedition to Xue Yantuo, the earth-shaking thunder played an important role in it, after Xue Yantuo destroyed the country, the status of the Firearms Bureau seems to be becoming more and more important, after Li Su was transferred out of the Firearms Bureau, Xu Jingzong temporarily took the position of the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau, and since then he has been making big killers for the Tang Dynasty day and night.

Sometimes Li Su can't help but maliciously speculate about Xu Jingzong's psychology, sitting on a powder keg that will explode every day with just a little spark, I don't know how Xu Jingzong will feel, I want to be promoted, I want to seize power, but unfortunately I don't have technical skills, and I still have to pay a little price after all.

Xu Jingzong didn't come to the Li family to visit the door, and from the moment he entered the door, his face was not very good-looking.

Now that Li Su and Xu Jingzong are not subordinates, and he is Xu Mingzhu's cousin, Li Su received him with a junior courtesy and welcomed him into the front hall with a courtesy.

The next person served tea, Li Sudui laughed, and before he could start to greet politely, Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said worriedly: "Li Jian is ......"

As soon as the words began, Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly: "It's really a habit, I can't change it, now it's time to call Li Xianhou, you and I are both former subordinates and in-laws, the ordinary politeness is still waived, today Xu came because there was a trouble, this trouble happened yesterday ......"

Li Su's smile suddenly stiffened a little.

Another trouble! Could it be that God sent him here for fear that his life would be too boring, so he added a special attribute to him that was born to cause trouble? It's just a matter of adding attributes, so why not add another skill to him to get out of trouble by the way?

"Uncle Cousin said, nephew listens to me." Li Su said helplessly.

Xu Jingzong stroked a handful of flowing green beards, and had to admit that the handsome old guy was still as handsome as he was at the beginning, even if he was full of worries at the moment, he was also a handsome old man full of worries, and his frowning brows made him have more of a touch of mature and vicissitudes of charm, and at the same time, Li Su also had to admit that he had been without Xu Jingzong for many days, and there was still a strong idea of pouring sulfuric acid on his face when he saw it today.

Xu Jingzong was unaware of the dark thoughts in Li Su's heart at the moment, and sighed with his long beard: "Xu Mou, let's ask Li Xianhou first, how long has it been since I saw your father-in-law?" ”

"Uncle?" Li Su was stunned: "Mingzhu her father? ”

Xu Jingzong's face darkened: "Otherwise, who else do you have?" ”

Li Su's lips pursed, and he wanted to tell him that theoretically, His Majesty was barely his father-in-law today, but this matter could not be put on the table.

Scratching his head, Li Su said confusedly: "I was sent by His Majesty to Jinyang to quell the chaos in the spring of this year, and I only returned to Chang'an a few days ago, but last year when my father-in-law came to visit my house once, by the way I discussed the tea trade, and then I heard Mingzhu say that the father-in-law scattered all the family wealth, took out all the belongings to specialize in tea trading, and moved the family to Chang'an City East City, and bought a shop in the East City......

Looking at Xu Jingzong's silent expression, Li Su's expression became solemn unconsciously.

"What's wrong with him, old man?"

Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "My cousin, that is, your father-in-law, is afraid that he is in a bad situation now. ”

"What's going on?"

Xu Jingzong sighed: "He has a lawsuit, and he ...... It's a human life lawsuit! ”

Li Su was shocked: "The father-in-law is an honest trader, and he smiles at everyone, how can he get involved in a life lawsuit?" ”

Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly: "I also feel that something is wrong, but he did suffer a lawsuit, and now he has been put in the prison of the Criminal Department pending trial, what happened yesterday, your mother-in-law was so anxious that she hurriedly reported to me first, I was going to come to your house today for help, but I appeased it, your mother-in-law is a daughter, and it is more appropriate for me to tell you about this matter." ”

Li Su hurriedly said: "Mingzhu still doesn't know?" ”

Xu Jingzong shook his head: "She doesn't know, it's better not to let the women know about this matter, they don't know anything about lawsuits, they can only cry and make trouble, and if they know, they will add to the chaos, what do you say?" ”

Li Su took a deep breath, and after a short period of shock, he had calmed down at this moment.

The trouble came unexpectedly, Xu Jingzong's words made sense, at this time, the people who can support the overall situation and solve the trouble have to rely on the men in the family, and Xu Mingzhu can hide it for the time being.

So Li Su got up, walked to Xu Jingzong and sat down cross-legged, lowered his voice and said, "What the hell is going on, please tell Uncle Cousin in detail." ”

Xu Jingzong said with a wry smile: "Yesterday, the people who came to Dong City to get it from the Criminal Department, except for your father-in-law, several stewards and men in the tea shop were locked up, saying that the tea sold by your father-in-law killed people......

Li Su exclaimed: "This is impossible! ”

The roasted tea method is a secret recipe written by Li Su himself, and then handed it over to the old man. Except for stir-frying and baking, nothing has been added to it at all, how can pure natural tea drink dead people?

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Su's increasingly blue face, and sighed: "Li Xianhou, whether it is impossible or not, after all, things have happened, after your father-in-law was imprisoned yesterday, I hurriedly went to the Criminal Department to inquire, half relying on the identity of the prison official, half clinging to the past friendship, only to get a little bit of the case from the mouth of a member of the Criminal Department......

Hehe sneered twice, Xu Jingzong said: "This matter, it's very troublesome, not only about drinking the dead, but also more trouble, your father-in-law bought the shop in the East Market last year as a tea shop to operate, the shop is located in the most lively place in the East Market, the shop is very expensive, at that time, almost all of your father-in-law's money was staked into the tea, and there was not much left, so he negotiated with the owner of the shop, and said that he would pay off the principal and interest of the store within two years, and the owner of the store also agreed......"

"You also know, tea this thing, in fact, has not been popularized, now the Tang people drink this thing is nothing more than a taste, most people drink tea or used to the old way, so this half a year your father-in-law's business is not very good, barely keep a book, the shop owner found that your father-in-law's business is not very good, worried that your father-in-law can not buy the money in the store, so he suddenly repented, said that the money must be paid within half a year, otherwise take back the store, your father-in-law pleaded many times, and then the last two times your father-in-law does not know whether it is on fire, I quarreled with the shopkeeper, and it seemed that the quarrel was so fierce that I almost got started......"

Li Su wondered: "What does this have to do with the human life lawsuit?" ”

Xu Jingzong stared at Li Su and said slowly: "Because of the tea sold by your father-in-law, the person who drank it to death was the owner of the shop!" (To be continued.) )
