When Li Mao entered the house, Gao Mu didn't get up, but just waved his hand to signal Li Mao to sit opposite him, took a sip of tea, Fang squeezed out a little smile, and asked Li Mao bluntly: "How did you see that Ni Ren had a bad heart?" ”

Li Mao had already answered this question Mo Daocong, Gao Mu saw it, and then replied again: "Two reasons, one is that the wine for the banquet was brought by the guards from the festival house, and I checked it one by one when dividing the bottles, under their noses, it was impossible to do anything at all, and after the inspection, they pasted the seal and sealed it themselves, if Ni Ren really went to inspect it, he should check whether the seal was complete, or taste it himself, wouldn't it be superfluous for him to use a silver needle to test it?" Therefore, I deduced that he was not testing the wine for poison, but waiting for an opportunity to poison it. ”

Gao Mu smiled, opened a wooden box on the public case, took out a silver needle from it and handed it to Li Mao, and said: "Devil's workman, who would have thought that such a thin needle would be hollow, and there is indeed a poison hidden in the needle tube-Golden Toad Frost." ”

Li Mao carefully inspected the needle with the lamp and candle, and was amazed, although the injection needle in later generations was much more delicate than this, but in the current era, it is indeed a miracle to be able to dig out such a thin hole in such a thin needle.

"He admitted that he wanted to poison the wine, although the name of Jin Toad Frost is not big, the medicinal properties are very powerful, once the poison is poisoned, there is no cure." Gao Mu leaned back, his chair was different, there was a backrest similar to a Hu chair, he could lean on it to rest a little when he was sleepy, and this posture was very relaxed, so as to express the intimate relationship with Li Mao.

"Your second reason."

"I was new to the palace, and the guards of the festival are not familiar with me, when I checked the wine before, they thought I was overstepping, and their eyes were cruel and eager to eat me, and then I had a little misunderstanding with Master Zhu in the kitchen, and they looked down on me even more, and they thought I was making a fuss and didn't understand the rules. At that time, I stared at Ni Ren directly, and I should be angry as someone else, or at least glared back at me, but Ni Ren tried to pretend to be open-minded, which was very unreasonable, and I became suspicious. ”

"Then you deliberately slapped him and tested him, but I didn't expect to shoot an assassin." Gao Mu laughed, he likes people with strict logical thinking.

Li Mao nodded: "That's pretty much the case." ”

Gao Mu touched Li Mao's words in his mouth, and asked with a smile, "What was the cause of that misunderstanding between you and Master Zhu?" Li Mao said: "Because of a girl named Wan'er, a young woman mixed in the middle of the cook...... I think it's very inappropriate. ”

"No...... Good! Gao Mu struck the case, "If it weren't for this, maybe you wouldn't be able to see Ni Ren's inappropriateness." ”

Li Mao's words were actually not complete, he felt that it was not only a young woman mixed in the middle of a group of shirtless cooks, but Zhu Wan'er was a little absent-minded at that time. The guards in the small pine forest were already very strict, and after learning the news that Li Shigu had come to hunt, Xue Yingying sent additional men to take over the guards. When Li Shigu arrived, Li Changshan's people took over Xue Yingying's subordinates, the small pine forest at this moment can be described as iron and copper, and it is still difficult for a fly to enter and exit, how can a young woman easily mix in, not to mention that the place where she settled is still a crowded kitchen?

Therefore, Li Mao was not suspicious of Zhu Wan'er's appearance, but suspicious of her absent-minded attitude, in a tense atmosphere, she stopped eagerly, shook her hands from time to time, and was in a daze, which was very unreasonable.

But Li Mao didn't plan to say this sentence, in this situation, an unintentional nonsense is likely to bury the life of an innocent person.

After asking all the questions that should be asked, Gao Mu was completely relaxed, he stretched his waist, and said to Li Mao with a relaxed expression: "I haven't eaten at night, how about drinking two cups together?" ”

Of course, this is good, after experiencing this incident, Li Mao finally figured out who was the real power person above everyone in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion. Supper is made by the chef of Jiedu Mansion, and several chefs of the chef are all disciples of Zhu San, because of the involvement of the afternoon incident, Zhu San is suspended for investigation at the moment, and several chefs who are implicated in the chef of the outer hall are also suspended at the moment, and are being questioned outside Mo Daocong's account.

Fortunately, Li Mao and Gao Mu are not gourmets, and wine and food are enough.

Because he had just finished a major event, Gao Mu was in a very good mood, drinking and eating, gossiping, and chatting about the recent anecdotes in Yunzhou. Gao Mu drank a lot of wine, and seeing that Li Mao's wine was also very strong, he had the intention of hating each other, so the two had a tacit understanding to change the big bowl to drink, and drank all the jar of wine in a moment. For the first time, Li Mao noticed that he was a little dizzy before he was drunk, he was afraid of making jokes about his gaffe, and was about to say goodbye to drink, but Chen Xiangshan came quickly, whispered a few words in Gao Mu's ear, Gao Mu frowned, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said to Li Mao: "I have something, go first, you are injured, go back and recuperate for a few days." At the end, he added: "Don't go far these days, and listen to the call of the festival commander at any time." ”

After saying that, he left in a hurry, Li Mao drank the wine in the cup, was stunned for a while, wiped his mouth and left the tea room. The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the slightest cool breeze blows on the body is very useful. The sentry in the Jiedu Mansion is a little more encrypted than during the day, but there is a judge's room Shushi leading the way with a lantern, Li Mao walked very smoothly this way, and went out from the side door of the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, facing a heat wave, and the bluestone slab that had been scorched by the sun for a day was eager to dissipate the heat from his body.

Li Mao suppressed the surging alcohol in his abdomen, set the direction, and staggered back along the empty street.

The wine in his stomach flares up, Li Mao ran into the ditch and vomited, and secretly scolded: "This Gao Mu can drink better than me." Pulling the branches of the slope up and resting against the elm tree for a while, Li Mao opened his shirt and opened his arms, staggered down the street, and sang loudly: "Sister, you boldly go forward, go forward, don't look back......" The dogs around him were loud, and the dogs in the neighborhoods echoed in unison. The night patrol soldier frowned and shook his head, such a drunk, he didn't dare to persuade him, he didn't persuade him and was afraid of taking responsibility, he put his hands together and silently recited the blessing of the Bodhisattva in his heart, hoping that the drunk would get drunk quickly.

Li Mao refused to get drunk, and after vomiting, he stood in the middle of the street and peed.

A richly decorated carriage came from behind, and the coachman saw a drunken man standing in the street, and crackled the reins.

Most of the people who dare to openly violate the ban on night are not good stubble, and the coachman doesn't want to cause trouble, but the identity of the guests in the car tonight is a little special. Li Mao heard the sound of the wheels, and turned around drunkly, he instinctively wanted to dodge, but when he saw that the carriage did not slow down at all, he was furious, stood in the middle of the street with open arms, and roared: "You stop me!" ”

Seeing that the drunk man was very drunk, the coachman hurriedly pulled the galloping horse, fearing that the people in the car would be disgusted, jumped out of the car, rushed to Li Mao, and scolded in his mouth: "Drunken dog, dare to block anyone's way, and don't look at who I am." He raised his hand high, pretending to hit Li Mao, Li Mao smiled, patted his chest and said, "Come, hit here, hit." Li Mao's burly figure itself is a big capital, and the coachman is not an opponent when he pays for it, so he wants to withdraw, and suddenly sees the Jiedu envoy in and out of Li Mao's waist, and he is even more frightened.
