Chapter 216: Importance

Ning Wuxian raised his wide sleeves and pulled out two palm-sized gray cloth bags from inside.

The cloth bag has a peculiar smell, somewhat similar to the pine leaves in incense, but the smell is more refreshing.

Jiang Yan's spirits perked up, and just as he wanted to open it to check it, Ning Wuxian stuffed the cloth bag back into his sleeve.

"It's not too early, Lord Jiang, I'll go find Master Su first."

Now is not the time to take out a cigarette and invite Jiang Yan to taste the taste.

While Ning Wuxian turned around, he didn't forget to remind Jiang Yan: "Lord Jiang, you have to worry about posting the official list, after all, you will handle all the matters related to the placement of wounded soldiers, I don't think Lord Su should interfere." ”

"It's fine."

Jiang Yan took a deep look at Ning Wuxian's sleeve.

In the end, I still endured the curiosity in my heart, didn't hold it anymore, and opened the cloth bag to find out.

But there is still a trace of doubt in my heart.

"Jiang Yang, why doesn't Mr. Ning let us know how tobacco is used?"

In the past, Mr. Ning was honest in his words and deeds, and he explained things thoroughly and thoroughly.

Today he asked to check the tobacco, but he was prevaricated, which is really incomprehensible.

Jiang Yang didn't think too much, but answered this question based on what Ning Wuxian had said.

"My lord, didn't Mr. Fang Caining say that this tobacco is not available to everyone, it has insecticidal toxicity, like alcoholism and weakness, and the use of tobacco may have a counterproductive effect."

"This official is just tired recently, his face is not very good, and he said that I am weak, and I can beat you and Jianghe alone."

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and there was still a faint taste of tobacco, and when he was still feeling disappointed that he couldn't try the taste of tobacco, he saw the corners of Jiang Yang's mouth twitch fiercely.

"But your lord, you're a drinker."

Jiang Yang didn't smell the smell of tobacco just now, and he didn't understand why his master was suddenly so interested in tobacco for healing.

Jiang Yan, who suddenly realized that he loved wine, hurriedly took half a step back and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

He decided.

In order to be able to try the taste of tobacco the next time Mr. Ning brings tobacco, he doesn't drink alcohol these days.

"Master Jiang, in addition to the flower dew water on the ox cart, Ning Gongzi also specially sent ten catties of steamed wine, and the person who unloaded the cart outside asked where to put it."

A small soldier rushed in to report, swallowing his saliva with greed.

Jiang Yan, who had just made up his mind to quit drinking for a while, thought that the last time he drank the Ning family's spirits was last time, he weighed the relationship between spirits and tobacco for a while, and finally made a decision.

"Move to my tent."

Tobacco is not known yet.

The wine jar was set up outside, and of course he chose what he could see and touch.

"Write the official list first and post it, and when you find the tobacco seeds, sooner or later you can try how to eat this tobacco."

Jiang Yan sat down again, opened the official document, and with the blessing of spirits and tobacco, he wrote like a divine help.

……

Ning Wuxian, who left the garrison, stepped on the last rays of the sunset and came to the mansion.

After the official on duty in front of the door recognized him, he did not pass it on, and directly led him to the direction of the lobby in the ya.

"Is Mr. Ning looking for Lord Teruma or Lord Thorn Shi?"

"Find Su-sama."

"Look for Lord Su and go forward, look for Lord Teruma...... He was performing in the martial arts field to test everyone's martial arts, and Mr. Ruoning went to say a few words for Xiao's good words. ”

Looking at the flattering smiling face of the servant, Ning Wuxiao knew.

Not surprisingly, the second uncle, the Zhaomo official, is like a fish in water, and he began to train his own manpower.

In addition to testing strength, it is more important to establish prestige and select henchmen from among them.

According to the skills of the second uncle, the basic principle of selecting manpower must be those who follow me and wait for observation.

"Okay, if I have a chance to meet the second uncle, I will talk to him."

In the face of the request made by the officials, Ning Wuxian did not refuse.

After all, a person like Ya Gong who has the vision and wants to follow the second uncle, even if his martial arts are not up to the mark, he will not be excluded with this attitude and diligence alone.

The official was so happy that he said good things until he was only ten steps away from the lobby, for fear that Suri would see it, so he stopped silent and spoke to the guard ward standing at the door.

The movement outside did not attract the attention of Su Rui, who was working at a desk in the lobby.

Before Ning Wuxian entered the door, he smelled a smell of blood emanating from the lobby, and his sharp eyes saw the black blood on the bench that had dried up, and he hurriedly withdrew his gaze when he thought of the fact that he was beaten with a cane.

"Mr. Ning, it was the person who beat the Ye family who committed the crime and asked them to confess and stay, and the Ye family's case is almost investigated."

The escort Su Zhou specially explained.

Ning Wuxian raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: After checking for so long, it is only about the same, it seems that Su Rui is determined to pull a few more officials off the horse.

Should I say it or not, Su Rui has stayed in Jinling Mansion for so long, and Jiang Yan still has the official position of Changshi, he doubts whether the imperial court is going to change the Changshi residence of Jiangnan Province from an annual patrol to a long station in Jinling.

"Is there anything important that Mr. Ning came to find Lord Thorn Shi?"

Su Zhou's voice lowered, knowing that Ning Wuxian would not go to the Three Treasures Hall if he had nothing to do.

If you don't have something important, you can go directly to Jiang Yan.

"Yes."

Ning Wuxian did not explain.

But after Su Zhou got the answer, he walked towards the lobby and whispered a few words in Su Rui's ear.

Su Rui hurriedly raised his head, put down the brush in his hand, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, squeezed out a few obvious laugh lines on his thin face, and beckoned to Ning Wuxian.

"Mr. Ning, it's sunburned outside, come in."

As soon as he entered the lobby, the stuffy feeling made Ning Wuxian feel that it was better to stay outside.

Seeing that Su Rui was only wearing a single shirt with his elbows and knees patched, and the scribe who was in charge of transcribing next to him was also sweating, he couldn't help but admire this hard and simple assassin.

"Master Su, the price of ice is cheaper now, why don't you buy some ice and place it next to the desk and chair in the office?"

"Haha, even if such a good thing is cheaper, it will cost dozens of yuan, wouldn't it be better to save this money to take care of people's livelihood? Anyway, I'm old and not afraid of the heat. ”

Su Rui said that he was not afraid of the heat, but the handkerchief that wiped his sweat was about to wring out the water.

Ning Wuxian respected his choice and didn't speak again on this matter, waiting until Su Zhou moved a chair to sit next to Su Rui, under Su Rui's gaze, he went straight to the point, took out two bags of cloth from his sleeve, and glanced at the other people in the lobby.

"Master Su, please step back."

The importance of this matter, he didn't even say Jiang Yan.

Naturally, the scribes of the government are not suitable to know.

Suri stroked his beard and chuckled, waving his hand at the scribe with his ears pricked up.

"Let's go down, find a cool place to escape the heat, and come back after dinner."

"Thank you, Lord for your understanding."

After the scribe left.

Su Rui asked Su Zhou to guard the door, and then took the initiative to pull the chair under his butt in the direction of Ning Wuxian, and stopped when he was less than a foot away, and suddenly smelled the smell from the cloth bag.

"What is this?"

"Yunfei, you go guard the back door."

Ning Wuxian's careful arrangement made Su Rui's eyes flash with a bright light.

In his impression, Ning Wuxian's work can be regarded as a straightforward person, because those things are not a big deal for Ning Wuxian.

And the last time Ning Wuxian did such a mysterious thing, it was when he sent someone to the perfume shop to disassemble the still and offer the liquor.

This made him wonder if the contents of these two cloth bags could make the same secret recipe for the revitalization of a certain industry as the distiller.

Although none of the industries that exist today are inferior to the wine industry, some are better than nothing.

What's more, this is still Ning Wuxian's patriotic heart, and he definitely doesn't dislike it.

Su Rui adjusted his mood, with a kind and relieved smile on his face, and patiently repeated the question just now.

"Mr. Ning, what is it that makes you so nervous?"
