After a heart-to-heart conversation with Tang Xu, Bai Lun's heart knot was also relieved a lot, but even if he was just innocently deceived by others, it was his appearance that caused the people of Lanzhou City to suffer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, sincere confession and Tang Xu's liberation did not allow him to be truly liberated, on the one hand, he was worried that his companion Yan Ji, who came to Kaifeng with him, would do bad things, and it was difficult to forget the sins he had committed with his own hands.

The finely chopped dried leaves brought back from Wenbo's house were later discovered by Tang Xu to be hemp. Hemp is also a poisonous plant, but it is less toxic than the rice sac flower and can be used for pain relief. It is recorded in medical books that hemp grows in Xinjiang and Gansu, and is mostly collected in the wild, and few people concentrate on planting, and if you want to extract the juice to use medicine, the means are also quite cumbersome, so only a few old doctors will use it. Hemp, which should only be used as a medicinal material, is now flowing into Kaifeng, and judging from what happened to the Wen brothers, the number of hemp should not be a few, and it must have been transported by someone over a long distance in a planned way. And behind that small talisman is Du Chongwei, all these clues are connected, I am afraid that there is a big conspiracy behind it, maybe it is really the greedy Du Chongwei who did it, and it is very likely.

With the general clues, and knowing that it is hemp, the next thing to do is to find out if there are people in Kaifeng City who have started to sell it. However, it is not easy to find these hidden deeds at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

For this kind of thing, Tang Xu is an official of the DPRK and China after all, so Bai Lun often goes to tea houses and restaurants to inquire, but he has not heard any useful news for many days, and even the roadside called Huazi also went to ask, and that Huazi did not say anything real except for defrauding Bai Lun of a few money.

Bai Lun came back to discuss with Tang Xu, and both of them felt that maybe it was because of the previous incident of the Wen brothers that Cao was startled, and the other party did not dare to act rashly for the time being. Tang Xu felt that it was okay, at least it hadn't caused any harm, and now that he had roughly touched the details of the other party, everything could be discussed in the long run.

There has been a lot of turmoil for a while, Tang Xu is really tired, and the preparations for the big wedding in the year have also been shelved. Now that there is nothing to do for the time being, and he has also taken leave from the emperor, Tang Xu and Xiaocui's family are preparing for marriage again. Bai Lun also became a guest of honor at home, giving advice to them.

Since Zhang Zhi visited Tang Xu last time, Tang Xu has hardly lived in his own house for most of the month, originally to avoid Bai Lun's companion Yan Ji, but now it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Yan Ji. It was still unknown where the man was, but there was no movement. So recently, Tang Xu has gradually moved home more, and the Xu family has also been thinking about the New Year, putting Bao'er home, and then going to herd cattle after the New Year. So Tang Xu occasionally brought Bao'er over to play and gave him some small objects to play with.

On this day, Xiaocui and Zhang's went to the street, and Bai Lun said that he wanted to inquire about the news again and went out. Tang Xu took Bao'er and a little black dog that Bao'er had recently taken in back to the Tang Mansion, Tang Xu wanted to come back by himself, but there was no one to take care of him at home, so he took it out.

As soon as the front foot stepped into the house, someone came up to me on the back foot. Tang Xu seemed to be the eunuch Zhou An beside Shi Chonggui, thinking that the emperor was looking for him again, he was a little depressed, and hurriedly asked Bao'er to go to the house by himself and not come out casually.

"Imperial Doctor Tang, you can count it back." When the eunuch saw Tang Xu, he was really relieved.

"Recently, I have been feeling unwell and have gone to live in the countryside for a few days." Tang Xu lied.

"Before, Imperial Doctor Zhang came to see me and said that he had taken leave of absence to the emperor on my behalf, so I didn't leave my post without permission, right?" Tang Xu asked, Zhou An hurriedly waved his hand and said that it didn't count.

"The emperor was concerned about the recent situation of the Tang Imperial Doctor, and specially sent slaves and maids to visit. It's just that the slaves and maids have come many times, and the door of the Tang Imperial Doctor's Mansion is closed, and the emperor is also particularly concerned after the report. Zhou An knew that the emperor valued Tang Xu, so he dared to make bold jokes. Tang Xu naturally wouldn't mind, and he was secretly glad that he had met Zhou An, in case the emperor really made a big move, it would not be good for anyone.

"Thanks to the emperor's concern, the lower officials are terrified." Tang Xu replied and welcomed Zhou An into the room to sit.

"Uncle, please have tea." Bao'er didn't know when he went to the stove room, and he made tea and came over, and he respectfully served tea to Zhou An.

"Good, good, good." Zhou An has been a eunuch for more than 20 years, and he has long stopped treating himself as a man. Today is the first time in his life that someone calls him uncle, but it is from the mouth of an innocent and lovely child, and this happy mood is no less than being rewarded by the emperor. Zhou An took the teacup and touched Bao'er's head, liking it very much.

"Imperial Doctor Tang, what is the name of this little boy? How old is this year? Zhou An was psychologically troubled, the more he looked at Bao'er, the more he liked it, and he felt that this child was full of aura.

"He's my nephew, he's eight years old this year, and his name is Bao'er." Tang Xu didn't dare to say that he was his quasi-brother-in-law, but fortunately, it was not easy to check the household registration in these years, so he just talked nonsense. I was just a little worried that Bao'er would retort, but the kid seemed to understand this, and just stood aside with a smile and didn't say anything.

"I see." Zhou An nodded, put the teacup on his body and groped carefully, and after a while, he took out a small jade piece from his arms to give to Bao'er. Bao'er didn't answer, and looked at Tang Xu vigorously.

"I can't help it, how can a child take such a valuable thing." Tang Xu also saw that he liked Bao'er, but seeing that the things he took out seemed to be rewarded by the palace, he couldn't just accept them.

"This is indeed the Queen Mother's Mid-Autumn Festival reward to the slave maid the year before last, and I am also grateful to the Queen Mother for always being by her side. It's just that today I saw that the little boy was really cute, so I wanted to leave it to the little boy to make a thought, and the Tang Imperial Doctor took my heart. Zhou An said sincerely, but he was not completely generous to Bao'er, a child, and Tang Xu was also in it. Tang Xu is the emperor's favored courtier, and it will never be a bad thing for him to have a good relationship with him, and Tang Xu is upright and loyal, and he is definitely a solid and reliable backer.

"Even so, then I might as well be respectful." Tang Xu saw that he was so persistent, it was just a small object, and he wouldn't make any trouble if he received it. And he also saw that Zhou An's move was somewhat flattering to himself. Maybe there are many friends and many roads, Zhou An is a close minister of the emperor's side, and with him making friends with him, maybe he can hear more news that he doesn't know. Zhou An saw that Tang Xu agreed, and hurriedly took the things and handed them to Bao'er.

"Bao'er, thank you, uncle!" Bao'er also took it generously this time, Zhou An was even more happy, and brought it to him with his own hands, saying that this is a peace charm rewarded by the Queen Mother to ensure your life.
