Chapter 130: Misfortune
Jin Ling Lao Dao was also very curious, took the cigarette gun and looked at it repeatedly, his eyes lit up, and said, "Master, this opium smoking treasure you made is very good!" If you pay tribute to the emperor, you will definitely get the emperor's love. What a baby! ”
Zuo Jiayin was even more happy, and said: "Master, Meng Ye made this treasure, the emperor will definitely like it, please Master protect Meng Ye, and also give him the status of a heavenly master." ”
Jin Ling Dao Chang shook his head: "Although the emperor is recruiting cultivators extensively, this treasure made by Meng Ye can better play the magic of our golden pill, but after all, it is only an instrument and not the golden pill itself, so I'm afraid the emperor won't pay too much attention to it." This heavenly master can only be given to cultivators, but, seeing that the master knows opium well, I don't know if the master has any other research, if he can practice a better golden pill, then it will be easy to do, this is not difficult to discuss when a Taoist priest practice, it can be like good news, and it is the same as being a layman named Taoist..."
To configure a better pill than opium, for Meng Tianchu, a forensic doctor from modern society, it is just a piece of cake, thinking, your golden pill is nothing more than opium plus spring pill, what is so strange, if you can refine opium to extract heroin and other high-purity drugs, you will definitely win the first place in one fell swoop. However, in the hearts of the Chinese, opium and the loss of power and humiliation of the country are always linked, although historically, opium raged in China in the late Qing Dynasty, the poisoning of opium in the Ming Dynasty has not yet become a social problem or legal problem, but if you spread this method yourself, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not change history, and the hat of the sick man of East Asia may be worn on the heads of Chinese hundreds of years earlier. Meng Tianchu didn't want to use this method to get promoted and make a fortune.
So, Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "The Taoist doesn't have to be embarrassed, the contemptible people have never thought of being a Taoist priest to practice, and they don't know how to alchemy and draw talismans, so they ask themselves if it's not that piece of material." If this smoking gun is to be a tribute, it should be invented by Miss Zuo. ”
Zuo Jiayin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to plunder the beauty of people!" He turned his head to Daoist Jin Ling and said, "Master, this smoking gun made by Master Meng, I think it can give full play to the effect of our Jindan several times, no less than Jindan itself, and it will definitely be able to please the emperor." You can help him and ask the emperor for the title of Heavenly Master! ”
didn't wait for the Golden Spirit Daoist to speak. Meng Tianchu preemptively said: "No, no, Miss Zuo, don't be embarrassed." To be honest, Meng doesn't want to be a heavenly master, if he really wants to be a heavenly master, the emperor asked me to go to alchemy, I can't practice, then it won't be a shame. ”
Jin Lingdao said with a smile: "Master knows opium so well, if he is willing to devote himself to alchemy." It may not be impossible to practice, if Meng Ye is interested, we can develop Dan Bao together in the future, and we can really find Immortal Agelessness, which is a matter of immeasurable merit. ”
Eternal life? Hehe, something that even scientists in the genetic age can't do. How can you bull-nosed veterans do this, it's a joke.
Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "The alchemy contempt people don't have much research, let alone interest. It's better to concentrate on being a master, and stop this topic. He turned to Zuo Jiayin and said, "You have to promise me that this smoking gun is strictly forbidden to spread outside except for the use of Lord Lingzun, okay?" ”
Zuo Jiayin nodded and said, "Don't worry, Meng Ye, I've saved a lot." ”
Meng Tianchu said goodbye and left, Zuo Jiayin saw that his father was stable, and accompanied him, and the two walked side by side through the quiet garden, Zuo Jiayin said: "Thank you for saving my father." ”
Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly and shook his head, is this saving him or harming him? I can't say clearly: "Ling Zun has been deeply poisoned, and if he continues to take drugs, sooner or later..."
"I also know," Zuo Jiayin sighed, "But what can I do, seeing that my father has a headache and screams miserably, what can I do if I don't give him this opium?" ”
This is indeed a dilemma. Meng Tianchu couldn't do anything, and asked, "Looking at the situation just now, your master and your father seem to have a very good relationship." ”
"They have been friends for decades, I was frail and sickly when I was a child, and my master was entrusted by my father to take me as an apprentice, but let me practice at home."
"So you can also do alchemy, so you became a heavenly master?" There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Meng Tianchu's mouth, it was really interesting to practice at home.
Zuo Jiayin smiled: "Although I am a Heavenly Master, I don't know how to practice any pills, this golden pill is actually refined by my master, but in order to give us a strong backing to take care of, my master said that I developed it with him, so the emperor named my master and I as Heavenly Masters." This time, it would be good if Master recommended that you really become a Heavenly Master. ”
"Ha, did the two of us become a couple soon?"
Zuo Jiayin glanced at Meng Tianchu shyly, in the hazy night, his eyes were shiny and watery.
Meng Tianchu realized that there was something wrong with what he said, so he hurriedly snorted, changed the topic, and asked, "Miss Zuo, why are you telling me so many things?" Actually, if you don't tell me, I won't be able to find out these things about you. ”
Zuo Jiayin stopped, leaned on a pillar in the corridor, looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Because I know that you are very good at solving cases, I want you to join Dongchang." ”
Meng Tianchu was startled, feeling as if the spy organization was recruiting students. asked: "You asked me to join Dongchang, are you from Dongchang?" ”
Zuo Jiayin shook his head: "I'm a Heavenly Master, why do I want to go to Dongchang, I won't solve the case." ”
"Then why did you let me join the East Factory?"
"After I heard about the last time you solved the case, I felt that your skills should not be buried, if you can join the East Factory, you can give full play to your greater talents."
"This answer doesn't seem to explain the question of how you asked me to join Dongchang."
Zuo Jiayin smiled, and his head was crooked: "Master Meng, it seems that you don't know much about the Heavenly Master's skills, and if the Heavenly Master wants to recommend someone to join the East Factory, it is not an easy matter." ”
"I know this, and what I'm asking is, you asked me to join Dongchang. What's in it for you? ”
"Why does it have to be good?" Zuo Jiayin's expression was a little strange, "I just think that you have the ability to solve ordinary criminal cases and bury your talent." If you want to talk about benefits, I will be happy if you have a place to display your skills, and this is my benefit. ”
"Oh? Thank you so much Miss Zuo for your love. ”
"How? If you want, I will recommend you to Dongchang tomorrow, okay? At least be a captain first, and then make a contribution to solving the case in the future. It will rise soon. Zuo Jiayin's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.
East Factory? Dongchang is a spy and an important means to maintain imperial power. It is an important machine used by the emperor to eliminate dissent, and he is in such an environment. It's all about intrigue and deceit all day long, and in many cases you have to do things with a clear conscience, and you can't do this kind of thing yourself. Although he could shake his majesty like Captain Xiao, that kind of majesty was not what Meng Tianchu wanted, and he shook his head: "Thank you Miss Zuo, Meng has no ambitions, just want to be a little master and eat." This is the East Factory. Meng couldn't do it and didn't want to do it. ”
Zuo Jiayin was disappointed and asked, "Why?" ”
"No, Meng is self-conscious, and he doesn't want to be in the same league with Xiao Zhenpeng and others."
"Oh, I see, you saw this chief bullying the people that day. So I don't like Dongchang, right? In fact, there are also good people in the East Factory. ”
"I know. But judging from the situation that day, I'm afraid most of them are not good people. ”
Zuo Jiayin was speechless, what Meng Tianchu said was indeed the truth, thought about it, and said: "Meng Ye can change, you can become the leader of the East Factory, you can influence others and change others." ”
"Hah, mantis arm blocking the car? I'm not that stupid, have you ever heard of a saying? 'If you don't get in the car, don't block others from getting into the car, when you see those black assholes in Dongchang, you hate yourself for being unlucky, no matter how angry you are in your heart, it's better not to participate, and you can be happy and happy. ”
"But you're capable..."
"Miss Zuo, Meng is indeed good at detection, but, in my opinion, the so-called talents needed by Dongchang are not more than detection talents, but people who are good at framing people, who are unfounded, groundless, and chasing after the wind and shadows, so as to exclude some people from dissidents..."
Zuo Jiayin hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Meng Tianchu's mouth: "Don't!" Meng Ye! Beware of the ears on the wall! ~”
Meng Tianchu's lips were Zuo Jiayin's soft hands, smelling her faint body fragrance, he couldn't help but have a hot current rising from the dantian, and couldn't help but kiss her palm.
Zuo Jiayin sighed, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Meng Ye... You..."
Meng Tianchu was just a momentary impulse, and after doing it, he regretted it a little, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Miss Zuo, I'm sorry, Meng is really ridiculous!" ”
Zuo Jiayin lowered his head, his voice was still trembling slightly, but with a hint of shy sweetness: "That... That's nothing..."
What's nothing? Meng Tianchu was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed, Zuo Jiayin was not angry with his recklessness just now, and he seemed to be encouraging himself to go further.
Meng Tianchu was in a stirred mood, and he reached out to hug Zuo Jiayin's little waist, but Zuo Jiayin floated away like a butterfly, swept the hair on his forehead, and smiled: "Master Meng, what are you going to do?" ”
"What do you say?" Meng Tianchu took advantage of the night, and became much bolder, catching up with two steps, and wanted to hug Zuo Jiayin again.
Zuo Jiayin dodged as fast as lightning, and his bright eyes were full of joy: "If you want to make it bad, I'm not coming!" In a flash, he was already floating a few steps away.
Girls are like this, they obviously love you, but they always have to make a look like they are leaving. Meng Tianchu was about to catch up, when he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Master Meng~!" Master Meng~! ”
Zuo Jiayin and Meng Tianchu both stopped, turned around and looked at the sound, as if they were a slave of the Zuo family, looking at the garden gate and shouting. Meng Tianchu scolded him in his stomach, it was really not the right time to come! I didn't have the courage to agree.
The slave ran over in a panic, Zuo Jiayin frowned and asked, "What's wrong, so panicked?" ”
The slave bowed down and said, "Back to the girl, the Yamen of Renhe County sent someone to say that Mrs. Meng asked Meng Ye to go back quickly, saying that there was an emergency." ”
"What's the matter?" Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin asked almost at the same time.
"Small land... The little one didn't know, but just said to let Meng Ye go back quickly. ”
Meng Tianchu's heart tightened: What is the matter? Xia Fengyi and the others live in the inner yamen of the yamen, there will be no problems in terms of safety, is it because they are sick? Before thinking about it, Meng Tianchu arched his hand and said, "Miss Zuo, Meng has taken his leave." ”
Zuo Jiayin said: "Master Meng, Jiayin will follow you to the house to take a look, maybe there is something you can help with." ”
"Thank you so much!" Meng Tianchu thought to himself, Zuo Jiayin is the identity of a heavenly master, and if you want to help, it really is not covered.
Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin hurriedly came to the door, Wang Zhutou had already sent his brother to escort Li Ruhan back to the Yamen Prison to be detained, and he took a few arresters to wait at the door in civilian clothes, and was attached to a Yamen soap. When the soap Li saw Meng Tianchu coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Master, Madame asked you to go back quickly." ”
Meng Tianchu didn't care to ask more, Wang Zhutou and they prepared horses when they followed, and the two of them flew on their horses and rode back to the Yamen of Renhe County, and Wang Zhutou and Song Xiangyu also rode horses and returned to the Yamen.
Meng Tianchu took Zuo Jiayin, Wang Zhutou and others to his own small courtyard in the inner office, and entered the room, but he didn't see anyone in the courtyard, it seemed that it should not be Xia Fengyi or someone who was suddenly ill, and he was a little relieved. Feiyan heard the movement and ran out to meet her.
"What's wrong?" Meng Tianchu saw that Feiyan's eyes were already swollen from crying, and he couldn't help but tighten his heart again.
Feiyan looked at the concierge in the distance, Han Ma, approached Meng Tianchu and whispered: "Grandma just received a letter from her mother's family in the capital, saying... said that the old lady had an accident~! ”
"What's wrong?"
"The old lady was ... I've been caught~! ”
"Ahh What's going on? Meng Tianchu said urgently.
"I... I can't tell you clearly, young master, come in quickly, grandma is crying so much that she has no idea. ”
Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin hurriedly entered the room, only to see Xia Fengyi sitting on a chair weeping, and the open letter was placed on the coffee table next to her.
Seeing Meng Tianchu and the two come in, Xia Fengyi stood up and nodded to Zuo Jiayin with teary eyes, and then said to Meng Tianchu: "Husband, daddy, he..."
Meng Tianchu picked up the letter and read it hurriedly, only then did he understand what had happened.
