Chapter 19: The Monkey Trainer

"Yes, young master, I've been preparing."

After saying this, Xiao Tang also smeared oil on the soles of his feet and hurried away, and when he came back, he had carefully prepared tools in his hands ———— a bowl of fish!!

"You said you had been preparing for a month, and you had five hundred taels of silver to prepare such a thing?"

"Young Master, don't be angry, don't underestimate this bowl of fish, the soup poured on the fish is colorless and tasteless, keep the cat and lick it, you can kill on the spot."

Ning Tiancheng sniffed suspiciously, and looked at him suspiciously: "Really? ”

"Really, this is a small one bought from a Yeyun Xianhe Taoist priest at a high price, and poisoned the monkey who followed the Taoist priest on the spot, and the monkey followed the Taoist priest for several years, in order to make the little one believe, he endured the pain and poisoned the monkey to death, really, the little one saw it with his own eyes."

When Ning Tiancheng heard this, he seemed to have seen the scene of the cat lying there motionless and his body was cold, and he quickly ordered: "Then go quickly, while the slut is still accompanying the fifth prince, now is a good time to start." ”

Time went back to when Ning Tiancheng was scratched in front, he was scratched in front, and immediately ordered someone to buy poison, saying that he would poison the cat in Hua Tingyuan.

Xiao Tang volunteered to take this errand, and after withdrawing five hundred taels of silver, he was about to go to the pharmacy on the street to buy poison, and he happened to meet the Taoist priest who was also in the pharmacy, and seemed to be pouring medicinal materials.

The Taoist priest was also followed by a golden snub-nosed monkey, which attracted the attention of many people along the way, including this Xiao Tang, of course.

"Shopkeeper, do you sell poison?"

"Poison what?"

Xiao Tang twisted his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment before saying, "Mouse." There is a big rat in the house. ”

"Well, this, a tael of silver."

The doctor who wrote the prescription raised his head, pointed to the medicinal herbs that had been prepared a long time ago, and said something with a smile.

"It's so expensive."

Although Xiao Tang was muttering in his mouth, he still took out the broken silver from his arms, threw down the silver and took the medicine and left, this dose of medicine did not use the five hundred taels of silver tickets given by Ning Tiancheng at all, but the corner of the one hundred taels of silver tickets leaked out, and the Taoist priest's eyes immediately lit up, and he counted in his heart.

"Monkey, take the medicine, let's go."

The monkey really understood the words as if he had taken the medicine, and it was raining outside at the moment, and the monkey squatting on the shoulder of the Taoist priest also gave the Taoist priest an umbrella, this scene made Xiao Tang even more surprised, and asked with him: "Dao Chief, do you sell this monkey?" ”

Xiao Tang was still thinking that if such a sensible monkey was bought and given to the eldest young master, it would be good for the eldest young master to tease the monkey if he was fine.

That long wisdom was like a torch, and from the time when Xiao Tang hesitated in the store just now, he knew that this person had a ghost in his heart, and said in a mysterious way: "Little brother, poison is going to poison people if you are not careful." ”

Xiao Tang's heart was shelved, and he said, "What did the Taoist say?" If you don't sell monkeys, you don't sell monkeys, what do you do when you say this. ”

"What did I say, you deceived others, but did you really deceive yourself?"

Many times people are like this, you have a weak heart and mess up first, others say something nothing, those who have ghosts in their hearts are used to taking the right seat, this Xiao Tang is also like this, and argued with a little blush: "What if it's not a mouse?" That cat is disobedient and scratches our eldest young master, so he deserves to die. ”

The Taoist nodded thoughtfully, wiped his beard, and took out the medicine from his arms: "Little brother, my monkey is definitely not for sale, but since you have opened your mouth, we are friends, and there is no reason for friends not to help." Little brother, the medicine you just bought smelled too big, and if the cat smelled it, it would have been gone a long time ago. ”

"What then?" Don Jr. grimaced.

"Little brother, don't worry, I have a dose of medicine here, this medicine is colorless and odorless, and no animal will smell anything unusual.

He leaned over suspiciously: "This is just poisoning a cat, and you still need to use such medicine?" ”

"Is that cat a normal cat?"

Hearing such a question, Xiao Tang's mind flashed that the cat dared to scratch the eldest young master's face, and he felt that it was not an ordinary cat, in fact, when many eldest young masters were bullying, he also wanted to scratch the eldest young master, thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire the cat, although today he was going to buy poison to poison the cat.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tang shook his head: "It's not an ordinary cat. ”

"That's it. If you still don't believe me, little brother, you have also seen it, my monkey has been with me for three years, and I can't smell it when I keep it. ”

Seeing that Xiao Tang didn't fully believe in himself, the Taoist priest sighed and said, "That's it." ”

After that, he poured a little bit of the medicinal powder into the palm of his hand, stretched out his hand to catch some rainwater, and the medicinal powder turned into a turbidity.

After licking it, the monkey immediately let go of the hand holding the umbrella, and his hands and feet were weak, and immediately rolled off the long shoulder, and fell off the bluestone slab bricks that had been wet by the rain.

Seeing this, Xiao Tang's eyes flashed with greed, and he asked evilly, "Is this medicine so easy to use?" ”

"It's nature, it's an ancestral recipe, and now I'm left with the last little bit, I ......"

"Don't mind, Dao Chief, take a look, give a price, I'll buy them all."

Xiao Tang thought to himself that anyway, the five hundred taels of silver belonged to the eldest young master, and he would buy them all if he bought them, and he would not spend them all, and the rest would not be his own when he thought of this, so he took out a hundred taels from his arms, and smiled and prepared to take the medicine away.

The Taoist priest picked up the monkey with a bitter face, and said without looking at it: "This little brother, I did this to make you believe that I didn't lie to you, but I can't sell you this secret medicine." ”

Xiao Tang felt that the Taoist priest said this because the money was not in place, so he immediately took out two more sheets, and said, "Three hundred taels, Dao Chief, that's all I have." ”

The Taoist priest sighed and said, "Look at the little brother, you are also so sincere, then it's okay, the last pair will be given to you, and we will meet again." ”

After saying this, the Taoist priest took the three silver tickets in Xiao Tang's hand, stuffed the medicine into his hand, and walked away with the motionless monkey.

The monkey's unconscious appearance made Xiao Tang really believe it, and he put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, but there was indeed no smell, so he had bad thoughts.

And now, Ning Tiancheng went to the study of the young master of the General's Mansion with this bowl of fish in his hand, and said suspiciously: "Did you really see that cat come in?" The doors and windows are closed, how can the cat get in? ”

"I heard that after this young master went to the prince's mansion to study, Miss Yan didn't allow anyone to step into the door of this young master's study for half a step, and even sprinkled and swept such a thing, Miss Yan did it herself. Eldest young master, you said, this young lady is usually so precious in this study, if she knows that the dead fat cat ran here and made a mess of the study, then ......"
