Chapter 31: Black Clothes Reappear
Yan Miao talked with Tang Su for a long time, and after asking what she wanted to know, she was relieved and went out for a walk alone.
The evening in the countryside is always full of life, curling smoke, children laughing, all lined with extra warmth in the sunset, Yan Miao enjoys this moment of tranquility, and has a desire to stay here.
After not walking a few steps, Yan Miao saw a few mint trees and a few stunted small lemon trees in the wasteland near the inn. Yan Miao felt very surprised, she didn't expect to see lemon trees here.
However, since there is not often sunlight here, the fruit on the lemon tree is only less than half a fist size, Yan Miao looked at it and felt that if the tree could be moved to a place where it was easy to get sunlight, it would definitely grow very well.
But he will go back to Beijing to take the exam in two days, it must be inconvenient to bring it back, and this place is too far away from the capital, and he doesn't know when he will come back next time, so Yan Miao made a small calculation in his heart, since he can't bring it back, then find a way to let Tang Su send someone to bring the lemon tree back, preferably with mint.
Yan Miao touched her chin, looked at the mint and lemon, and counted on her heart.
Yan Miao picked some mint and picked two stunted lemons to take back to the inn. Then he asked Lan Xiang for two bamboo tubes for drinking water, went to the kitchen to boil some boiling water, soaked two cups of lemon mint water, and brought them to Tang Su.
Tang Su was writing a love letter in the room at this time, preparing to report the events in the suburbs of Beijing to the emperor one by one.
At this time, Yan Miao's voice came from outside the door, and after Tang Su put the love letter aside, he asked Yan Miao to push the door in by himself.
Yan Miao held two cups of lemon mint water and asked Tang Su to taste it, but Tang Su was unmoved. So Yan Miao picked up a cup and stood in front of Tang Su to drink it with relish, Tang Su saw this and knew that Yan Miao must have asked for himself, after all, as the saying goes, nothing is courteous, either treacherous or thief.
Tang Su didn't rush to pick up the bamboo tube and taste it, but asked first, "What do you want to ask me to do?" ”
Yan Miao saw the revelation of her eyes, her pretty face flushed, and said, "You'll know after you drink it." ”
Tang Su didn't ask anymore, picked up the bamboo tube and tasted it, after drinking it, Tang Su showed a puzzled look, smacked his lips and asked, "What is added to this water, why is it so refreshing?" ”
Yan Miao said with a smile: "There are mint leaves and lemons added here, but this mint leaves and lemons are not common in Beijing, I just found a few lemons and mint in the wasteland outside, if I can bring them back to Beijing......"
Tang Su's eyes narrowed, and he knew what Yan Miao was planning. He also felt that this water had a different taste when he drank it, and it was not bad to move some of the ingredients for soaking in the water back.
So Tang Su sent two people to follow Yan Miao to the wasteland near the passenger station to remove the mint and lemons, and send them back to the palace early tomorrow morning to plant.
At this time, Yan Miao admired Tang Su in her heart that this tool man was really good.
At night, when Yan Miao had just finished washing up and was about to go to bed, there was movement outside the door. Yan Miao opened the door and saw Lan Xiang walking towards Tang Su's room with a man in black who was dressed the same as the other day.
Yan Miao wanted to go over and take a look, but thinking that she couldn't help if she went, she went back to her room to rest, ready to recuperate, and wait until she woke up tomorrow.
On the second day, after Yan Miao washed up, she saw Tang Su eating on the first floor, so she hurriedly ran down, for fear that she would not be able to make breakfast in time.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Tang Su asked suspiciously.
"I grew up in a poor family, and I often ate the last meal without the next, so I was very active in eating." Yan Miao pretended to be pitiful
Looks.
"How do I remember when you were in the palace, you weren't so active?" Tang Su naturally didn't believe Yan Miao's nonsense, so he asked quippedly.
"Ah this, Lord Wang, you should know that being outside is not as good as being in the palace, once the time for this meal is over, I don't know when the next meal will be." Yan Miao kept making excuses to cover up that she forgot to eat last night, so she was very hungry this morning.
Tang Su smiled meaningfully, expressing disbelief, but he didn't say anything.
At this time, Lan Xiang Gaoyang came with the information of two men in black.
These two black-clothed men are the bandits in the plain village near the outskirts of Beijing, and what they do is just to act on orders, as for whose orders, according to these two people, they are masked young men,
This matter starts from last year, in the early autumn of last year, that is, at the same time as this time, the owner of the plain village got acquainted with a masked young man, who was decisive in his work and was deeply loved by the owner of the village. It's just that this person often asks the owner of the village to do something, and the owner of the village has never refused, but does it if he can, and helps if he can. In this way, it seems that he is commanding the owner of the village.
As for who this masked young man really is and what his idea is, there is no way to know.
Yan Miao kept guessing the true identity of this person in her heart, but she couldn't think of a reason for a while. It's just that such a large-scale poisoning incident must have some big plan.
Tang Su had already sent someone to send Chen Qing's letter to Beijing overnight, just waiting for the emperor's reply tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the two guards brought the lemon tree and mint back to King Xuan's mansion to raise them.
And at noon, Gao Yang came back with the emperor's message.
"This matter needs to be carefully investigated, it is not true that there are officials and bandits who are in cahoots, but the exam is imminent, so return quickly."
After listening to this, Tang Su Yanmiao planned to leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning, otherwise it would be a pity if he missed the time for the exam.
After nightfall, when the people sent by Tang Su went to Houshan Shuijing to throw the antidote, they happened to meet two black-clothed people, and they were captured back to the inn under the front and back attacks.
At this moment, a total of four men in black were arrested.
Tang Su sent people to interrogate him overnight, hoping not to delay his plan to return to Beijing tomorrow.
Early the next morning, a guard came with four men in black to report the situation.
The information given by the four men in black is much the same, and it seems that there are no core bandits among these four people, but at present, it seems that if you can't go deep into the interior of Pingyuan Village, the clues will be interrupted.
Tang Su turned the teacup in his hand and began to silently think about something in his heart.
"Do you want to live or die?" Tang Su looked at the four of them, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
The four of them hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, all saying that they wanted to live.
Tang Su took out two pills from his sleeve and gave them to the two people who had been caught last night.
"This pill is highly poisonous, you need to report to me once a month on the condition of your village owner and that masked youth, and then you can receive this month's antidote." Tang Su said indifferently.
"Yes." The two men in black hurriedly kowtowed to thank Tang Su for not killing.
Then, Tang Su sent someone to bring the other two people in black back to the Imperial City Division.
