Chapter 70 70: Certainly
A-Ning was looking intently at a fiery pill on the white rice paper.
"How is it different from what my father refined? What's the difference? ”
Something was vaguely missing, but she couldn't say it for a while.
Either way, it was already a surprise to be able to make a pill.
Su Cardamom leaned against the door and looked at A-Ning for a while, pouting for a while, and shaking his head. This girl is also an idiot!
She took out a small black bell from her sleeve, held it up and shook it in front of her eyes, the small bell made a crisp sound, and the sound went straight into the eardrum.
Ah Ning raised her eyes and was pleasantly surprised to find a big fiery person standing at the door, she happily said, "Ah! "Sister Su, you're here!" ”
"Isn't it!" Su Cardamom stepped over the threshold, "I expected you to greet you, but you didn't notice it when I stood here for a long time, so I had to ask my little black to help." ”
"Those who don't know are not to blame." A Ning smiled sweetly and said, "I have hardly left the house these days, and my five senses have been dulled. Who is Blackie? ”
Su Cardamom spread out her palm, and a small black bell the size of longan with red beads lying silently in the palm of her hand.
"Huh! This little bell is so dexterous, is 'Little Black' it? Looks good. ”
"This is what my mother left me," Su Cardamom pursed her lips and smiled, "Mother said, 'Coo'er, give the little bell a name, it's yours.'" I saw that this bell was black all over, like my mother's black eyes, so I named it 'Black Eyes', but my mother said that the black eyes were too cheesy, so it was better to call it 'Green Eyes', so it was called 'Green Eyes', and the words were small and black. ”
A-Ning had never heard her talk about her mother-in-law, and couldn't help but be curious: "Your A-Niang must be amazing, the name 'Qingyan' is also good, I didn't expect a small bell to have a table word!" Is there anything special about it? ”
Su Cardamom smiled: "Xiao Hei has been with me for many years and is a family-like existence. If you have to say that you are exquisite, it is probably more obedient and intimate, not shaking, and the sound is different depending on the number of shaking. - So many delicious things on this table? ”
"Brother Mei brought it," A-Ning said happily, "Taste it, it's all delicious." Don't say anything else, Brother Mei didn't say anything about the taste of food! ”
Su Cardamom picked up a piece of cloud silk cake, which was really delicious, soft and sweet, as if in the clouds.
After Su Cardamom finished eating, he picked up A-Ning and left: "The incense I brought you is in Mo Shao's study, go and see if you like it!" ”
"When I'm cleaned up, can I wash my face?" Ah Ning couldn't cry or laugh, "Sister Su, do you know that you are so anxious to forgive your brother?" ”
"Of course he'll know. If he doesn't like it, I won't force myself to do it. Su Cardamom pulled A-Ning, "Su Cardamom is Su Cardamom, and there is only one in this world." ”
At this time, Su Cardamom was radiant, bright and cheerful, but for some reason, A-Ning heard the implied courage and sadness from this sentence, like a lone warrior, using her usual arrogance and disdain to fight against the surging enemy.
Naturally, I have long been used to it. It's heart-wrenching.
A-Ning thought: Sister Su is probably a lonely person.
If you want to live well, you must bring thorns.
Gimmer's study. Ji Mo Ji Shu and Bai Mei are getting together around sesame seeds.
"Tailai Gambling House is in Jingnan, here, Guliu Lane is in the outer city." Bai Mei was comparing the street that Ji Mo and Ji Shu spelled out, "Guliu Lane is a distance from our Thousand Faces Pavilion. That is to say, the Taylor Casino is at least twenty miles away from us. ”
Ji Shu: "That's right. Both my brother and I have examined this distance. ”
Bai Mei: "But why did Tai Lai Gambling House choose to be so far away from the edge of the outer city of Ion City?" ”
"Excluding the rules of the rivers and lakes, we only consider the external and hidden possible reasons,—— if it is you, what are you opening the gambling house for?" Ji Mo asked Bai Mei.
"Needless to say, of course it's to make money!"
"That's right!" Ji Mo said, "Making money is actually gaining popularity, a desolate and remote place is difficult for people to patronize, and no one cares, of course, it is impossible to fall silver out of thin air in the sky." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ji Shu and then at Bai Mei.
"This can be ruled out," Ji Shu said, "Senior Brother also knows that the edge of the outer city is also inhabited by all kinds of people, and there are not a lot of people coming and going. However, the location of Guliu Lane is a relatively peaceful area, and it is said that some outsiders who like to be quiet live in Zicheng - although Zicheng is better, it is more expensive to live in Zicheng, and these people have silver taels in their hands, either for business purposes or to dredge up relationships...... But there is no need to squander, in short, I just live in the nearby streets and alleys centered on Guliu Lane, quiet, safe, convenient, and most importantly, hidden. ”
Bai Mei: "Tai Lai Gambling House attracts rich people with innocent family backgrounds and gamblers who they can look at. ”
Jimo: "So, its purpose is to make money. ”
Ji Shu: "The money you earn will only be more!" ”
Bai Mei: "With Guliu Lane as a cover, it wants both silver and people." ”
Ji Mo: "Except for a few gamblers, most of them are outlaws, what will they do if they lose in a hurry?" ”
Ji Shu: "You don't have to think about it to know, steal, rob, kill, and overlook." ”
Bai Mei: "But they didn't. Or not found. ”
Ji Mo: "Tailai Gambling House is not Yishantang. ”
Ji Shu: "So...... What exactly is it going to do? ”
Yes, I really haven't heard of any gamblers from Guliu Lane. They lost willingly, went forward one after another, and some even went for it.
Ji Mo: "So, the conclusion is that Tailai Casino is full of suspicions and is worth exploring!" ”
Bai Mei: "So, does this have anything to do with us?" ”
Jimo: "It's very likely that the person who made the mask is hiding in it. ”
Often the greatest common sense lurks in the most unreasonable places, and the most inconspicuous places lurk in the complex human nature.
Ji Shu: "Senior brother will go with me." ”
Bai Mei: "What about me?" ”
Ji Mo: "It's good to take care of A-Ning at home." ”
Cardamom Su walked in and walked into them slowly: "I'm going too!" - Don't persuade me, first, I want to be with Ji Zhenming, and second, I have my own plans. ”
A Ning and Su Cardamom walked into the study, heard them talking, more or less guessed what they were going to do, she heard that her brother wanted Bai Mei to take care of himself at home, she was a little unhappy: "Am I a burden?" I'm going too, and I don't need to be taken care of by Brother Mei. ”
Ji Mo: "A-Ning! ”
Ji Shu: "Sister Ning is the safest at home, well-behaved and obedient." ”
Bai Mei: "I think so too. A-Ning, this matter is no better than others, I vaguely feel that this trip to Tailai Casino will not be smooth. ”
A-Ning: "But ......" She turned to look at Su Cardamom, "Why did Sister Su go?" ”
Su Cardamom smiled casually: "This is exactly what I want to say." It's about our Agarwood Pavilion, I've just thought about it, it's better to go to the gambling house with you to have a look. ”
Ji Shu's eyes showed concern, he didn't approve of Su Cardamom going, but he wanted to hear what Su Cardamom was for.
"In the past few months, the same thing has happened in the Agarwood Pavilion all over Jingzhou - some people do not know what channel to sell the incense products of the Agarwood Pavilion at a low price, blatantly and unscrupulously, and even do this kind of thing in front of the Agarwood Pavilion shop. I met him once, but I didn't dare to startle him and let him go. My father also came from Fuzhou for this reason, but such incidents are still happening. A few days ago, the investigator sent by the Agarwood Pavilion - I sent it," Su Cardamom looked at them a few times, "A suspect has been secretly caught, guess what?" ”
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
No one else can guess about the Agarwood Pavilion!
Bai Mei couldn't help it: "What, say it quickly!" ”
Su Cardamom smiled: "That person is actually wearing a mask!" ”
How many people are not calm anymore, and they are masks again?
Su Cardamom was very satisfied with the effect of her narration, and unhurriedly took out a mask from her waist and shook it in front of everyone.
Ji Mo's heart was shocked: "Miss Su, please bring it to me!" ”
Su Cardamom handed over the mask, and Ji Mo determined the identity of the mask in great doubt: there was a very small "Jiang" character in the corner of the mask that no one else knew.
Meeting Ji Shu's gaze, he nodded thoughtfully.
When did this expensive mask become so worthless?
Or is it the habit of the people who make the masks?
Tai Lai Gambling House is bound to be a line, and it seems that this clue cannot be let go.
If there were doubts about Cui Ziqing's case that someone used a mask to blame, then this time, it is certain.
Ji Shu asked, "Cardamom, where did you catch the suspect, and what did that person explain?" ”
Su Cardamom smiled mysteriously, with a vivid expression: "Near a green building in the outer city. As for the explanation, it is naturally nonsense and not credible. Although there has not been an accident with those cheap incense products, I have a gut feeling that the people behind the scenes are trying to confuse the public and blame the Agarwood Pavilion, which is chilling to think about. The situation is serious, so, I have to go! Su Cardamom said, "Even if I touch you and owe you a favor, I won't take advantage of it in vain." In fact, even if you don't go, I'll go myself. I'm going to meet these dark people and see who they really are! ”
If there is a clue, she will not let it go.
There is a kind of ambition in Su Cardamom's eyes, which makes people's hearts tremble and make people feel proud.
Ji Shu thought to himself: What kind of woman is this! How daring! She didn't seem to need protection at all, and she exuded a seductive and arrogant light. Her red garment was like a raging fire, destroying and decaying wherever it passed.
Ji Shu couldn't help but look at Su Cardamom's eyes and gave her a wholehearted trust without hesitation: "Okay!" ”
You're not alone, and me!
