Chapter 60: Tong Lu

It didn't take long for Li Gang to come in with a man in his twenties. The young man was dressed in coarse linen and dressed as a cropped man. He was born broad-eyed and very strong. When he came to Mei Changsu, he held a fist and saluted, saying: "Tong Lu meets the suzerain."
Tong Lu was originally a farmer, because his sister was bullied by a bully, and his family was traumatized. Fortunately, he was rescued by Jiang Zuomeng. Now his mother and weak sister are all in Langzhou. Because of his intelligence and tough temperament, he himself was a few years ago. Chang Su fancy, sent to Jinling.
After all, Mr. Thirteen has a great reputation in the music industry, and is not easy to come and go. Therefore, the clever and reliable Tonglu is the best messenger. He comes to Sufu almost every other day in the name of delivering food.
"Working hard, sit and talk." Mei Changsu gently raised his hand. "Are there any new trends in the prison?"
"Yes," Tong Lukou said with ease, "they have found the right person.
Qi Xiaomin's most coveted team leader Wu Xiaoyi handled it in one hand.
People are now locked in Wu Xiaoyi's house. They are indeed seven or eight points like He Wenxin, but they are thinner.
He Wenxin had suffered a lot in the prison, and his face was not as fat as before. When the head fell to the ground, he was afraid that he could hide it.
Wen Yuanbo never thought they had this hand, plus he was not very familiar with He Wenxin, even if he wanted to come to the scene to observe, he could not see any flaws. "
"Well," Mei Changsu groaned, "Wu Xiaoyi, the family member of the deceased, and the jailer in the jail, all have to keep an eye on them, but they must not be noticed.
After He Wenxin was replaced in prison, he was immediately sent out of Beijing to avoid misfortune. "
"Yes.
"
"In the old case where the Criminal Department secretly changed to death row, how many were found?"
"Seven have been found to be able to obtain personal evidence."
"If you continue to work hard, you must master the most critical witnesses."
"Yes."
"Tell Gong Yu to pay attention to Qin Banruo, and she cannot be made aware that someone is pursuing an old case in the Criminal Department."
"Yes."
Having said these things, Mei Changsu felt a slight blackness in front of his eyes, and he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.
The Ministry of Criminal Affairs, for the time being, can also let them have a good year. On the day of the execution of Mingchun, there will be a good show. I only hope that the undisputed body will not be out of the situation.
"Sect Master ..." Tong Lu was very worried when he saw him pale, and asked in a small voice, "Do you want Dr. Yan to come?"
"No ... Doctor Yan will only let me take a tonic," Mei Changsu smiled, "It's okay.
Does Mr. Thirteen have anything else to tell me? "
"Have.
According to news from the Canal Qingduo and Jiaoxing Gang, in recent months, different cargo owners have successively transported gunpowder from groceries to Beijing through different channels. Although the amount is not large each time, but I'm afraid it's about two hundred pounds.
The brothers in the foot shop pretended not to find the same for the time being, and only secretly notified Mr. Thirteen. Now, Mr. is still tracing whether there is a connection between these cargo owners. "
"Large quantities of gunpowder?" Mei Changsu frowned, "Is it related to Jiangnan Perak Hall?"
"No relation has been found so far."
"Where does the gunpowder exist after entering Beijing?"
Tong Lu lowered his head and looked ashamed. "The consignee was too careful and cunning. After changing his hands a few times, we actually lost our way ..."
Mei Changsu could not help sitting up straight: "That is to say, the whereabouts of this batch of gunpowder are unknown now?"
"It's ... gunpowder, it seems like a dispute between rivers and lakes, it should have nothing to do with us, so the original Mr. Thirteen didn't want to disturb the suzerain.
But now the whereabouts of gunpowder are unknown, and I do n’t know where it will be used. Sect Master, you often walk around in the capital. We are afraid of it just in case ... "
"Beijing is so big, where is there such a sadness?" Mei Changsu couldn't help but smile. "You pay attention to check it, but don't worry too much."
"Yes." Tong Lu responded and touched for a long time from his arms, and found a palm-sized spirit mink. The little thing posed with its tail, tilting its head to see Mei Changsu, and got into it. In his arms.
"What do you bring Xiaoling to?"
"This ... Girl Gong Yu said, Xiao Ling will follow the Sect Master these days." Tong Lu lowered his head and said, "It is the most sensitive to gunpowder, and with a little taste, it will keep moving, and the Sect Master takes it, No matter where you go, the palace girl is more at ease. "
Mei Changsu shook his head and smiled, but he also knew that they were all kindhearted. Looking at Tong Lu's expression, it must have been miserably abused by Gong Yu for pursuing the gunpowder. Xiao Ling is very good, just stay a few days. "
Tong Lu immediately smiled on his face and clenched his fists: "Xie Sect Master!"
"Thank me what?" Mei Changsu waved his hands in amusement, "Okay, you go back earlier, and to Mr. Thirteen ... and the girl Gong Yu said that my illness is already good. You can stop complaining to Langzhou ... "
"Uh ..." Tong Lu's face was blue and white, "We didn't ..."
Mei Changsu didn't listen. He closed his eyes and began to recuperate. Tong Lu didn't dare to say much. He crept back out and secretly spit out his tongue.
Xiaoling blinked black bean-like eyes, crawled on Mei Changsu's shoulders, and scratched his earlobe with his small claws. After a long time without a response, he crawled back into his shirt and slept back in bed. Too.
Suddenly, stretched out, holding Xiaoling's ears and holding it in the air, and the small thing was caught off guard, so frightened that he twisted desperately, and the two small fat legs pedaled alternately, making a squeak Screaming.
Mei Changsu opened his eyes and said warmly, "Fei Liu, what's the matter?"
"The three!"
"Oh," Mei Changsu rubbed the temples on both sides and cheered up. "Go and bring them in."
"Good!" Fei Liu let go, and Xiao Ling fell straight on Mei Changsu's stomach from midair. Although he wasn't injured, he was shocked. He curled up in aggrieved form, whining and daring not to move.
"Okay, don't be afraid, Fei Liu likes you ..." Mei Changsu touched it with a smile for a while before putting it back in his warm arms. "Do you sleep with Fei Liu at night?"
Fortunately, Xiaoling couldn't understand his words, but still blinked the black beads, and was not scared.
At this time, the sound of footsteps sounded before the stage, with different weights and different rhythms, just as their respective personalities were so different.
"Brother Su, are you better?" The first person who came in was of course Yujin. "I brought a few baskets of the latest oranges shipped from Lingnan. When I was sick, I felt bitter in my mouth. It was most comfortable to eat that. "
"Don't be so noisy," Xiao Jingrui frowned and pushed him, and then looked at Mei Changsu's pale complexion, worried and authentic, "Brother Su doesn't want to get up, just sit down, it's not a trivial matter to do sickness, doctor's medicine Validate? "
"It's almost okay, it's hard for you to come and see me." Mei Changsu smiled, "Come and sit, I haven't talked to you for a long time."
The three walked a few steps closer and sat down on the chairs next to each other.
Xiao Ling suddenly moved around in his shirt, and the small paws grabbed and grabbed. Mei Changsu couldn't help but move.
"It's really comfortable to soak in the hot spring. Brother Su should also try it. It's good for the body." Yan Yujin said while taking a few citruses from his sleeves and put them on the table. I went to the back. I'll take a few of them by the way and try them. This skin is thin, very peeling, and juicy and sweet. Brother Su must like it. I plan to plant a few trees in my yard tomorrow spring ... "
"Oranges are oranges in Huainan and Citrus aurantium in Huaibei," Xie Bi glanced at him. "Have you read the book? If you really plant it in your home, it may be bitter gourd ..."
Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu laughed together. The latter reached out and took a citrus, and sniffed it gently between the noses. The fresh and sour breath, with the coldness of frost and dew, under close inspection, actually returned There is a hint of nitrous acid.
Mei Changsu vaguely speculated some reasons.
"The oranges are so fresh, they were still transported from Lingnan? It must be the official ship you are taking?"
"Yeah, it ’s an official ship sent straight from Lingnan House. When you go to Fujiang, you do n’t need to stop the inspection on the way. Of course, it is faster than the shipping ship. This kind of mandarin and expensive home in Citrus Jingli likes it. It takes ten full ships. It did n’t take long. It ’s all over. I ca n’t grab it. Fortunately, my father has a reservation.

"That's right ... It's really your kindness." Mei Changsu said in his mouth that he was thinking quickly.
It turned out that not only the canal and the footpath, but even the official ship could sneak into the gunpowder, and the general river and lake disputes, I was afraid that I couldn't do this ...
Xiao Ling was still moving in the chest, Mei Changsu stretched his hands to comfort it, probably because the smell of gunpowder was only irritated, not strong, and it finally became quiet and fell asleep.
"Brother Su's hands are cold? Should I peel them for you?" Xiao Jingrui asked Mei Changsu to hold the citrus, and he didn't move for a long time, asking thoughtfully.
"... Oh, no need, Yujin is right, this skin is very easy to peel," Mei Changsu quickly peeled off the golden skin, put the orange petals with white bands in his mouth, bite, cool The cold juice will permeate the mouth, and it is really sweet and sour, and the taste is very sweet.
"Delicious?" Yan Yujin also stuffed a few petals in his mouth. "It's really enjoyable to eat this with a warm body."
"Look at you, Brother Su only took a bite. You started to eat the second one." Xie Bi smiled. "Are you going to eat all the baskets and go back?"
"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 more."
"That ’s enough. We do n’t have many people. Most of us only love meat.
But Fei Liu loves to eat citrus, and I thank you for him first. "
Yan Yujin took a look around, "Is Fei Liu just there, and it's gone again?"
"It's probably time to play later." Mei Changsu looked at the uncle, and his heart suddenly moved. He used a natural tone as if he said it smoothly, "How can you be free to see me today? The queen's mother Sick, do n’t you go to the palace to visit and please?

"Queen empress is sick?" Yan Yujin's surprised expression does not seem to be pretending. "No, I only went into the palace yesterday. I saw her and it's okay. Why did I get sick today?"
"It may have been cold," Mei Changsu smiled faintly. "The weather is so cold. If you lose a little bit at night, you will get cold.
But with so many people in the palace waiting for care, the lady ’s illness must be worry-free. "
"Oh ..." Yan Yujin looked out at the sky. "It's too late now. Please go to the office tomorrow."
If I am really ill, I will tell my father to call him back. "
"What? Uncle Guo is not in Beijing?"
"I went to Taoist Temple outside the city.
My dad is not listening to the red dust in both ears now, just thinking of Qiuxian asking alchemy, if he is not dragged by my son, he must change his home to Taoism. Yan Yujin complained helplessly, "But it's good too, because no one cares about me and is free."
Except for my father's unexpected desire to shove me into the Dragon Warden a while ago, I didn't usually worry about my future. "
"Family masters like you, you don't have to worry about your future," Xie Bi said, "but your father is really more and more like a person outside the square. I haven't seen him in the palace several times throughout the year. Why can't I just ask? "
"I don't know ..." Yan Yujin tilted his head and thought for a while. "It's clear that their brothers and sisters have never been close to you. My father likes to clean up. If it is not the ancestral temple to be taken care of in Beijing, he should want to live in the mountain Go inside. "
Xiao Jingrui also said: "If you look like you, who would see you as a father and son? Uncle Yan Yan is indifferent, like the idle cloud wild crane, but you are a troublemaker where you live together and don't say nothing. Temperament is more like a wild cat. "
"Yes, your eldest son Xiao has temperament," Yan Yujin shrugged. "I am a wild cat, are you a good domestic cat?"
Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing, "I haven't listened to you quarreling for a long time, it's really kind."
