Chapter 39: Jinyiwei's Questioning
The journey into the mountains and rivers is difficult and treacherous, but leaving is very simple, find the boundary, step out, and when you do this, you will find yourself back in the present world.
And this kind of return is different from the huge randomness when entering, the guys who return from the same place at the same time can almost always appear in a very close range, this is not after Nie Ming and they found the boundary and stepped out again, they came to the vicinity of the ghost cave again.
Although this place is still considered an inner mountain environment, as long as you don't enter the ghost cave, it is still as safe as a leisurely stroll for Nie Ming and the three of them.
A group of four people withdrew all the way, and finally came to the outer mountain on the third day of successfully collecting tea, and when they arrived here, they could get the response of others, the Su family and the Chen family's subordinates prepared horses, and the four of them immediately got a great improvement in their footsteps and returned to the town in only two days.
And when they got here, they learned that the missing tea-making people had been sent back one by one, according to those people, they were not subjected to any bad things and coercion, and they carried good food and drink every day, so they didn't know who was full of food and nothing to rob them, and they didn't miss the tea picking party after they came back, so they didn't plan to pursue this matter.
And Su Canghai's return time was not too early, so when they went out of the mountain and passed through the venue of the grand event and finally returned to the inn, there was no splash of waves, of course, although they did not cause waves, they were still noticed by the Jinyi guards on the side of the road, after all, they are the most unstable factor for this kind of law enforcement agency.
And if the situation was normal, the news of Ren Zongheng's death should have spread within the other party a long time ago, and now as the most capable of fighting among the entrants, they would not be surprised at all if they became the focus of the other party's suspicion.
No, just as they were drinking porridge over this small dish, a figure slowly walked from the end of the street to the inn.
And when he first appeared at the end of the road, Nie Ming, Chen Liang, and Su Canghai put away the smiles on their faces at the same time, and then silently put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands.
Zhou Xiaozhong asked a little strangely: "What's wrong?" Is it that Aunt Li doesn't make it delicious? Why don't we go to a nearby restaurant for dinner? ”
"It's not about the dishes, there's a guest coming." Nie Ming replied as he got up and walked to the door, "It seems that a big man is here." ”
Chen Liang was already standing by Nie Ming's side at this time: "Naturally, he is a big man, Zheng Sanpin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the world's flying eagle Ren Yuan, and the grandmaster cultivates." ”
"Did it directly alarm him this time? It seems that the Northeast Royal Mansion has stabbed a big basket this time. Su Canghai also stood beside Nie Ming and raised his eyes to look at the big man who was walking slowly.
Ren Yuan, the world's flying eagle, did not wear his rumored golden dragon at this time, he was dressed in a plain white single, and walked to the inn unhurriedly, although his reputation is famous all over the world, but his appearance looks mediocre, but he has these two huge iron galls in his hands, which ordinary people do not have.
Unlike those Jianghu people with independent characteristics, Ren Yuan, the flying eagle of the world, has a square face, and his eyebrows are full of righteousness, and he knows at a glance that he is not a bad person, but as one of the emperor's most trusted people, it is unknown whether he has done something that does not match the orientation.
And when Nie Ming and the others looked at Ren Yuan, Ren Yuan, who had been watching the road, also raised his head, and two sharp rays of light directly pierced the three people in front! This is not an attack, but a kind of momentum that the other party has cultivated from being in the top position for a long time, and as the leader of the Jinyi Guard, Ren Yuan naturally puts much more pressure on them than other people, after all, this is not a reasonable organization, and the emperor is standing behind the other party.
However, although it seemed that the other party's speed was not fast, but after a few breaths, they saw the other party appear in front of Nie Ming from the end of the long street, and the other party frowned and said: "Nie Ming, the young city master of Mobei Black Stone City, Chen Liang, the young master of the Yingchuan Chen family, and Su Fan, the second young master of the Jiangling Su family, this lineup seems to be really much more prepared than ours." ”
"Ren Commander must have traveled all the way to come from afar, and this is also the temporary residence of your Jinyi Guard, why don't we come in and sit down?" Su Canghai replied with a smile, "After all, even if you ask questions, it's easier to sit and talk, you see we haven't finished our meal." ”
Ren Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Su Canghai and said with a smile: "You can speak, you have your father's demeanor, Second Young Master Su, then go in first, anyway, you can't escape from me here, you can eat first, maybe this is the last meal." ”
Saying that, Ren Yuan didn't care about the expressions of the three of them, and walked straight past the three of them into a tea house where no one was: "Xiao Er serves tea, serves good tea, as for the cups, prepare four, and I will have a good chat with the three young heroes later." ”
Nie Ming and the three of them glanced at each other, and could only silently return to their positions and slowly eat their lunch.
After beckoning her subordinates to make tea for Ren Yuan, Xiao Chong returned to her position, and she asked in a low voice: "Who is this, seeing that you are all serious, are you okay?" ”
"Hmm-this, it's a big official from the capital, and you want to ask us something, don't worry, it won't affect you." Nie Ming swallowed a mouthful of white porridge and replied, "If you don't have anything to do after the meal, you can go to the backyard to see the tea, the preparations for the investigation must be about to start, you have to work hard for this competition." ”
After listening to Nie Ming's explanation, Xiao Chong's hanging heart fell into her stomach, because she also understood when chatting with Su Canghai and Chen Liang that many of the relatives of these two were also officials in the court, and they were all colleagues, so there must be no danger, and after eating, she closed the door of the inn, and then retreated to the backyard with her subordinates. As for the other brocade guards, they were more familiar with the boss's temperament, and they retreated much faster than the small ones, and they each found an excuse to leave the first floor before Ren Yuan sat down.
At this time, the rest of the first floor were Nie Ming, the three of them and Ren Yuan.
Ren Yuan made a gesture of please, Nie Ming and the others also found a place to sit down, and the person sitting opposite Ren Yuan was Nie Ming.
"Now you can say it, how did my apprentice Ren Zongheng die, although he is not angry, it is impossible for any of you to take him alone, even if you add the people you are carrying." Ren Yuan's sharp gaze swept over the three of them, "You only have one chance, the price of being wrong..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but his clenched hand slowly loosened, and two deformed pieces of iron that had been crushed into a ball fell directly to the ground.
The first to speak was Chen Liang: "I haven't seen Brother Ren since I entered the mountain, but when I went to Tongmu Pass with Brother Su and Brother Ren before, we experienced an attack together, and the other party's clothes were Japanese Kou, but there were eunuchs among them, and there were standard crossbows. ”
After hearing this, Ren Yuan's eyes turned to Su Canghai, Su Canghai nodded and said: "That's right, I haven't seen Brother Ren since I entered the mountain, as for the battle of Tongmu Pass, there was a grandmaster who appeared, and the people under the King of the Northeast will know it as soon as you check it, and as for Brother Ren's information, we also learned it from Nie Ming." ”
Ren Yuan took a deep look at Su Canghai: "Grandmaster? Interesting! I'll admit it, and in the end it's up to Nie Ming's words, let me see! ”
Nie Ming told the truth at the beginning: "The people of the Northeast Palace's Mansion besieged Brother Ren, and when he fled to the vicinity of the cave where I was resting, he couldn't be saved, as for whether it is true or not, you can see this brand." As he spoke, he took out the nameplate that Ren Zongheng had given him.
Seeing this nameplate Ren Yuan's complexion changed, and then pulled his right hand, the brand in Nie Ming's hand fell directly into his hand, and after taking a closer look, Ren Yuan nodded: "That's right, this can prove that what you said is true, then this matter will end here, I hope you will not fall into my hands in the future, farewell." ”
Ren Yuan was an anxious man, and after finishing speaking, he left here with the sign, without even asking them about the relevant details in detail, just when they looked at each other, the Jinyi guards in the shadows around them also slowly walked out, and then left here one after another.
Su Canghai smiled: "It seems that I have nothing to do with us in this matter." ”
"That's it, I'm going to find the tea customer who made tea for us, and we'll compete when the time comes." Chen Liang stood up and said.
"I'll see you at the tea party then." Nie Ming smiled, "I still believe in small seeds, after all, we have a lot of tea." ”
"Farewell! Leave! ”
After sending Chen Liang away, Nie Ming and the others came to the backyard, at this time, Xiao Chong was pouring the tea leaves in the tea basket on the bamboo rack for drying, and when she saw Nie Ming and them coming, she smiled and said, "Solved?" ”
"Naturally, he is the master of Ren Zongheng Ren's brother, so let's take revenge after understanding the relevant situation." Nie Ming explained, "What are you doing here? ”
Xiao Chong said with a smile: "The traditional handmade method of the red robe has 13 processes, namely, drying green, making green, frying green, kneading, re-frying, re-kneading, hairy fire, fanning, spreading, picking, full fire, burning fire, etc. Now, in addition to the traditional hand-made method of the best tea, a large part of the thirteen processes are made. We will use all handmade products, so the production method of pricking is composed of 6 processes: withering, making green, frying green, rolling, hair, and foot fire. Here is the withering and drying of the sun. ”
Li Bo added: "Withered is the basis for the formation of rock tea fragrance, the purpose is to evaporate a small amount of water, soften the leaves, expand the difference in water content between the leaves and the stem, improve the water absorption of leaf cells, and prepare the conditions for the acceleration of green "water walking"; Accelerate chemical changes, prepare the material basis for improving aroma and removing bitterness, you just look at it. ”
"I'm sorry for you." Nie Ming and the others stood to the side.
