Chapter 60: The Child's Path
On Monday, hand in the report, count the money, receive red envelopes, buy clothes, do hair, celebrate the New Year, have a holiday, so happy, it's amazing!
ββββββββββββββββββThis is the three-character warp dividing lineβββββββββββββ
It didn't take long for Li Gang to bring in a man in his twenties, the young man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, dressed as a crop man, born with broad eyebrows, very strong, and when he came to Mei Changsu, he hugged his fists and saluted, and said, "Tong Lu greets the sect master." β
Tong Lu was originally a farmer, because his sister was favored by the bullies, the family suffered a catastrophe, fortunately saved by Jiang Zuomeng, and now the old mother and weak sister are in Langzhou, he himself because of his qualifications and tenacity, he was favored by Mei Changsu a few years ago and sent to Jinling. After all, Mr. Thirteen has a great reputation in the music industry, and he is not good at coming and going, so the clever and reliable Tong Lu is the best messenger, and he has to come to Su Mansion almost every other day in the name of delivering food.
"It's hard work, sit and talk." Mei Changsu raised his hand slightly, "Is there any new movement in the prison?" β
"Yes," said the child, "they've found the right person." It was handled by a team leader named Wu Xiaoyi, one of Qi Min's most confidants. People are locked up in Wu Xiaoyi's house now, and they do look like He Wenxin for seven or eight minutes, but they are just thinner, and now they are just drinking and conditioning meat. He Wenxin suffered a lot in prison, and his face was not as white and fat as before, and when the time came, he was afraid that he would be able to hide it. Wen Yuanbo never thought that they would have this hand, and he was not particularly familiar with He Wenxin, even if he wanted to come to the scene to watch the killing, he couldn't see any flaws. β
"Well," Mei Changsu said in a deep groan, "That Wu Xiaoyi, for the family of the deceased, and the jailers in the prison, all have to be watched, but they must not be noticed." After He Wenxin is replaced and released from prison, he will be immediately sent out of the capital to avoid trouble, and he must not be lost at that time. β
"Yes."
"How many old cases have been found in the criminal department's secret exchange of death row prisoners?"
"Seven cases have been found in which human and physical evidence can be obtained."
"If we continue to work hard, we must get the most important witnesses."
"Yes."
"Tell Gong Yu to pay attention to Qin Panruo, so that she can't notice that someone is tracking down the old case of the Criminal Department."
"Yes."
After saying these words, Mei Changsu felt that his eyes were slightly dark, and he hurriedly closed his eyes and breathed. The Ministry of Justice, for the time being, can also let them have a good year, and on the day of the execution next spring, they will stage a good show, I just hope that this uncompetitive body will not be in a good situation.
"Sect Master......" Tong Lu saw that his face was pale, very worried, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to call Doctor Yan over?" β
"No...... Doctor Yan will only let me take tonics," Mei Changsu smiled, "It's okay." Is there anything else Mr. Thirteen would like to tell me? β
"Yes. According to the news obtained from the Qingrudder and the Foot Gang of the Canal, in recent months, different cargo owners have successively transported the fire yao from the groceries into Beijing through different channels, although the amount each time is not large, but the accumulation is afraid that there are 200 catties. The brothers of the foot walk pretended not to find out for the time being, and only secretly informed Mr. Thirteen, and now Mr. Thirteen is still tracking down whether there is any connection between these cargo owners, and will report to the suzerain master when there is further news. β
"A large amount of fire?" Mei Changsu frowned, "Is it related to Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall?" β
"I haven't found any connection yet."
"Where do these fires exist after they enter Beijing?"
Tong Lu lowered his head and looked ashamed, "The consignee is too careful and cunning, and after a few turns, we actually lost the ......."
Mei Changsu couldn't help but sit up straight: "In other words, the whereabouts of this batch of Huo Yao are unknown now?" β
"Yes...... The matter of Huo Yao seems to be a dispute between the rivers and lakes, and it should have nothing to do with us, so originally Mr. Thirteen didn't want to alarm the sect master. But now the whereabouts of the fire yao are unknown, and I don't know where it will be used, and you are often walking around the capital, sect master, we are afraid that in case it ......"
"The capital is so big, where is there such bad luck?" Mei Changsu couldn't help but smile, "You guys pay attention to it, but don't worry too much." β
"Yes." Tong Lu answered, touched it from his arms for a long time, and took out a palm-sized spirit mink, the little thing swinging its tail, tilting its head to see Mei Changsu, and got into his arms.
"What are you bringing the spirit for?"
"This ...... Miss Gong Yu said that Xiao Ling will follow the sect master these days. Tong Lu lowered his head and said, "It is the most sensitive to fire, and it will keep moving if it has a little smell, and the sect master will take it with him, no matter where he goes, the palace girl will also rest assured." β
Mei Changsu shook his head and smiled, but he also knew that they were all kind, looking at Tong Lu's expression, he must have been scolded by Gong Yu miserably because of chasing the fire yao, and he couldn't bear to embarrass him anymore, so he nodded and said: "It's okay, Xiaoling is very well-behaved, just stay for a few days." β
Tong Lu's face immediately smiled, and he hugged his fists and said, "Sect Master Xie!" β
"Thank me for what?" Mei Changsu waved his hand funny, "Okay, you also go back early, and ...... with Mr. Thirteen And Miss Gong Yu said, my illness has been cured, they can stop complaining to Langzhou......"
"Uh......" Tong Lu's face turned white, "We don't have ......"
Mei Changsu didn't listen, he closed his eyes and began to recuperate, Tong Lu didn't dare to say more, he tiptoed out, and secretly stuck out his tongue.
Xiao Ling blinked his small eyes like black beans, crawled onto Mei Changsu's shoulder, scratched his earlobe with his little paws, didn't get a response for a long time, and crawled back into his clothes to sleep sullenly.
Two fingers suddenly stretched out, pinched Xiao Ling's ears at once, and carried it in the air, the little thing was caught off guard, and the body twisted desperately in fright, and the two little fat legs kicked alternately, making a "squeak" squeak.
Mei Changsu opened his eyes and said warmly: "Feiliu, what's the matter?" β
"Those three!"
"Oh," Mei Changsu rubbed his temples and cheered up, "You go and bring them in." β
"Good!" As soon as Feiliu let go, Xiao Ling fell straight on Mei Changsu's stomach from mid-air, although he would not be injured, he was frightened, and curled up in a ball aggrievedly, whining and screaming and not daring to move.
"Okay, don't be afraid, Feiliu just likes you......" Mei Changsu smiled and stroked it for a while before re-putting it in his warm arms, "Are you okay to sleep with Feiliu at night?" β
Fortunately, Xiao Ling couldn't understand his words, and still blinked his black bead eyes, and was not frightened and fainted.
At this moment, there were footsteps in front of the steps, different in weight and rhythm, as different as their respective personalities.
"Brother Su, are you better?" Of course, the first person to speak was Yan Yujin, "I brought a few baskets of the latest citrus from Lingnan, and when I was sick, I felt bitter in my mouth, and I was the most comfortable to eat." β
"Don't be so noisy," Xiao Jingrui frowned and pushed him, then looked at Mei Changsu's pale face, and said worriedly, "Brother Su, don't get up, just sit down, it's not a trivial matter to get sick in this solar term, isn't the doctor's medicinal effect?" β
"It's almost all right, it's hard for you to come and see me." Mei Changsu smiled, "Come and sit down, I haven't talked to you for a long time." β
The three of them took a few steps closer and sat down on the chairs next to them. Xiao Ling suddenly moved in the placket, and his little claws grabbed back and forth, Mei Changsu couldn't help but move in his heart.
"It's really comfortable to soak in the hot spring, Brother Su should also try it, it's very good for the body." Yan Yujin said as he took a few citrus fruits from his sleeve and put them on the table, "Those baskets they moved to the back, I'll take a few by the way and you can taste them, this skin is thin, it's easy to peel, it's juicy and sweet, Brother Su must like it, I'm going to plant a few trees in my yard tomorrow spring......."
"If you are born in Huainan, you will be orange, and if you are born in Huaibei, you will be orange," Xie Bi glanced at him, "Have you ever read a book?" If it is really planted in your house, maybe it will be bitter melon......"
Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu laughed together, the latter stretched out his hand and took a citrus orange, put it between his nose and sniffed it gently, the fresh and sweet breath, with a little frost and dew coldness, under careful inspection, there was a faint smell of nitrate.
Mei Changsu vaguely speculated on some reasons.
"This orange is very fresh, but it was actually shipped from Lingnan? It must be an official ship, right? β
"That's right, it's an official ship sent directly from Lingnan Prefecture, go to Fujiang, you don't need to stop the inspection halfway, of course, it's faster than the boat of Caoyun, this kind of citrus in the capital of the official family likes it, a full ten boats, it didn't take long to divide it, and I couldn't grab it, fortunately, my father had a reservation."
"That's right...... I'm really grateful to you. Mei Changsu was polite in his mouth, but he thought quickly in his heart. It turns out that it is not only the canal and the foot line, but even the official ships can be secretly mixed into the fire, and the general disputes in the rivers and lakes are afraid that this will not be done......
Xiao Ling was still moving in his chest, Mei Changsu stretched out his hand and patted it comfortingly, probably because the smell of fire yao was only touched, not strong, it finally quieted down and fell asleep.
"Brother Su's hands are cold? Why don't I peel it for you? Xiao Jingrui saw Mei Changsu holding the citrus and didn't move for a long time, so he asked thoughtfully.
ββ¦β¦ Oh, no need, Yu Jin is right, this skin is very easy to peel," Mei Changsu hurriedly peeled off the golden skin, put the orange petals with slightly white tendons into his mouth, and when he bit it, the cool juice seeped into his mouth, and it was really sweet and sour, and the taste was extremely sweet.
"Delicious, right?" Yan Yujin also stuffed a few petals into his mouth, "It's really a supreme pleasure to eat this when your body is roasted warm." β
"Look at you, Brother Su only took one bite, but you started to eat the second one." Xie Bi smiled, "Are you planning to eat all the baskets and then go back?" β
"It's delicious." Yan Yujin didn't care about his ridicule, and turned to Mei Changsu, "If Brother Su likes it, I'll go back and send some more." β
"That's enough, there aren't many of us, and most of us only love meat. But Feiliu loves citrus the most, and I thank you for him first. β
Yan Yujin looked left and right, "Feiliu is still there, and it's gone?" β
"Probably going to play in the back." Mei Changsu looked at this uncle, his heart suddenly moved, and he said in a very natural tone as if he was talking casually, "Why do you have time to come to see me today?" The queen mother is also sick, don't you go to the palace to visit and say goodbye? β
"The Queen Mother is sick?" Yan Yujin's surprised expression didn't look like he was pretending, "No, I only entered the palace yesterday, and I saw that she was fine, why did she get sick today?" β
"Maybe it's also from the wind chill," Mei Changsu smiled faintly, "The weather is so cold, if you lose the cover a little at night, you will get cold." However, there are so many people in the palace waiting to take care of her, and Niangniang's illness must be worry-free. β
"Oh......" Yan Yujin looked out at the sky, "It's too late now, let's go and say hello tomorrow." If he is really sick, I will tell my father and ask him to come back. β
"What? Uncle Guo is not in Beijing? β
"I went to the Taoist temple outside the city to fight Jiao. My father is now deaf to the red dust, just thinking about asking the immortals to ask for alchemy, if it weren't for my son, he would definitely change the house to a Taoist temple. Yan Yujin complained helplessly, "But there are also benefits, that is, no one cares about me, and I am free." Except for the fact that my father suddenly wanted to stuff me into the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant as an errand a while ago, he didn't usually worry much about my future. β
"A young master like you doesn't have to worry about the future," Xie Bi said, "But your father is really becoming more and more like an outsider, all year round, I haven't even seen him in the palace a few times, why can't the queen just ask?" β
"I don't know......," Yan Yujin tilted his head and thought about it, "They brothers and sisters have never been close to you, and you know it, my father likes Qing Xiu, if it weren't for the ancestral hall in the capital to take care of him, he would probably want to live in the mountains." β
Xiao Jingrui also said: "If you don't look alike, who would have seen that you are father and son?" Uncle Yan is indifferent, like an idle cloud and a wild crane, but you are a troublemaker who is lively and noisy, not to mention that you don't have half of the temperament of a wild crane, but more like a wild cat. β
"Yes, you Xiao Dagongzi has a temperament," Yan Yujin shrugged, "I'm a wild cat, are you a good domestic cat?" β
Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing, "I haven't heard you talk for a long time, it's really kind." β
