Chapter 128: Tea Night Talk
Isn't it his? He even denied it! Liu Yefei listened quietly to how Governor Bai explained this matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This tea was given to the lord of Liuzhuang by the Holy Lord!" Bai Zhifu explained. The reason for separating oneself from this matter is also unique.
Liu Yefei thought for a moment and asked, "Then why was it sent by Master Jia, instead of Qin Sent to Hidden Sword Villa?"
Bai Zhifu immediately replied: "It was Gonggong Hou in the palace who brought the tea, because he had other things to do, and Master Jia was going to your mansion to send invitations, so he would do it for him!"
The explanation is seamless and seamless. But Liu Yefei still couldn't believe that he had nothing to do with this matter, so he spoke again: "My father has already gone to work, this tea is a gift from the emperor, it must be of the highest quality, the little nephew doesn't know the tea ceremony, it is a pearl secretly invested in me, the little nephew will give it to you, uncle must laugh at it!"
When Bai Zhifu heard this, he was very happy, and said: "The virtuous nephew has bothered, thank you! Thank you!" After that, he put it on the desk with great affection.
Liu Yefei was very curious and asked, "Why does my uncle cherish this thing so much?"
Bai Zhifu said: "You don't know anything about the virtuous nephew! This imperial tea is the famous Shifeng Longjing, shaped like a bird's tongue, with the characteristics of color green, fragrant, sweet, and beautiful, because it is only produced from the eighteen tea trees that are sealed in front of the Hugong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain. This tea is exclusively for the emperor, ordinary people can't get it, do you say it can't be expensive?"
Liu Yefei only then knew the origin of this imperial tea, and he saw that Bai Zhifu was excited, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Since this tea is so rare, the little nephew also wants to ask for a cup and open his eyes, I wonder if my uncle can endure the pain and cut his love?"
Bai Zhifu glanced at Liu Yefei, and said angrily: "What are you talking about, nephew? The thing is yours, you gave it to me, and now I want to have a drink, how can I be reluctant?" Let's use the hot water in that pot!"
Liu Yefei saw that the kettle on the charcoal stove was steaming, so he took three tea bowls from the tea tray on the table and opened the lid.
At this time, Bai Zhifu also opened the brocade box, took out a yellow paper bag, peeled it off layer by layer, and a small pile of green tea leaves appeared inside, and Bai Zhifu carefully pinched three small handfuls and put them in three tea bowls.
Liu Yefei lifted the copper kettle on the charcoal stove and poured water into the three tea bowls respectively, saying that it was strange that the moment the boiling water hugged the green leaves, the room was full of fragrance.
Bai Zhifu smelled this rich fragrance, closed his eyes intoxicated, and enjoyed it very much.
Liu Yefei not only sighed deeply about the magic of this imperial tea. He asked eagerly, "Uncle, is it okay to drink?"
Bai Zhifu said: "I have to wait a little longer, the soak is not enough!"
Liu Yefei looked at Bai Zhifu, who closed his eyes and was intoxicated, and wondered, did this matter really have nothing to do with him?
really thinking about it, Bai Zhifu suddenly spoke, "You can drink!"
Liu Yefei picked up a cup of fragrant tea and played with it in his hand, in the tea bowl, the green leaves were crystal clear, the tea juice was pure and lovely, and the tea fragrance was rich and tangy, but he did not bring it to his lips, but quietly looked at Bai Zhifu opposite.
Bai Zhifu was very shocked and asked Liu Yefei: "Why don't you drink it, if it is cold, the taste will be greatly reduced!"
Liu Yefei held the teacup and said unhurriedly: "Elder first, the little nephew doesn't dare to break the etiquette!"
Bai Zhifu said: "What kind of etiquette do you talk about here uncle? You don't have to be formal, but it doesn't hurt to use it!"
Liu Yefei said: "There are no rules, there is no circle, my father has taught me this since I was a child!
At this time, it may be because there is a charcoal stove in the room, and on the smooth forehead of Bai Zhifu, there are actually drops of sweat. His eyes also dizzed a lot, and he spoke: "Before the arrival of the virtuous nephew, I have already used a lot of tea, and if I use it again, I will lose sleep!
Liu Yefei said: "This is a rare imperial tea! Why are you willing not to use it? Are you afraid that this tea is poisonous?"
Bai Zhifu said: "How can this tea be poisonous?
Haitang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke at this time, "Bai Zhifu, since there is no poison in the tea, what does it matter if you drink a cup?"
At this time, Bai Zhifu was already sweating like rain, and he muttered in a low voice: "I really can't drink it, don't let me drink it!"
Liu Yefei put down the tea bowl, stroked the sword under his ribs, and said in a resolute tone: "I already know that the tea is poisonous, so you can recruit it from the truth!"
Bai Zhifu looked at Liu Yefei and said: "If I say it, it's death, and if you don't say it, it's death!"
Liu Yefei said: "How do you say this?"
Bai Zhifu wiped his sweat and said: "The revenge of killing my father, I don't share the sky, you must be revenged, I am an insider, and I am also a participant, although I did not kill the person myself, but I am also guilty of it, plus Master Jia's life, I am innocent of death, but my family does not know the inside story, I hope Liu Gongzi will open the net! I will do things by myself!" After speaking, he picked up the tea bowl in front of him and drank it all, and drank the bowl of Liu Yefei and the bowl of Begonia.
Liu Yefei couldn't stop him even if he wanted to, he eagerly asked: "Why did you do this? What is the purpose? Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Bai Zhifu sat quietly in his chair, his eyes were misty, and he stopped talking.
Liu Yefei looked angry and pitiful to him, he was already over half a hundred years old, and he chose such a way to leave this world, isn't it a very sad thing?
Knowing that he wouldn't say anything more, Liu Yefei wrapped the bag of tea leaves, put it in the brocade box, looked at Bai Zhifu, who was already on the verge of dying, turned back to Haitang and said, "Let's go!"
The two of them walked out of the study gently, closed the door, and followed the same path to the outside of the wall. Then they walked through the long street in the darkness of the night, climbed over the city wall, found their own horses, whipped their horses, returned to the Tibetan Sword Villa, settled the horses, and went back to their houses to rest.
Early the next morning, as soon as Liu Yefei got up, Begonia came to him.
Begonia's pretty face was full of haggardness, obviously she didn't have a good night's rest, in fact, Liu Yefei was the same.
After meeting, Haitang said straight to the point: "Brother Liu, I thought about it all night, I think my father has no reason to harm your father, your father is a famous hero all over the world, powerful martial arts, so my father put one of the treasure maps here in Liu Daxia, how do you think he would turn around and harm Liu Daxia? There must be another hidden reason in this." Besides, my father is seriously ill and has no time to do such a thing!
Liu Yefei thought for a while and said: "What you said is very reasonable, it is impossible for the saint to do these things, but the person behind the scenes must be in the palace, otherwise how can the imperial tea and the Hou Gonggong explain?"
Haitang said: "Then Brother Liu, what are you going to do?"
Liu Yefei said categorically: "I want to enter Kyoto, enter the palace, and track it down to the end!"
