Chapter 246 Bananas Are Bananas
Su Nuobai didn't say anything. These things were not her concern. Since Lu Heyu was here, she would leave it to him. These were originally backlog cases of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple.
Lu Heyu looked at Master Xun: "What happened in the end?"
"In the end, we all died. Before we died, we ignited the gunpowder on the ship. This was the last resort."
"This is also our last resort to protect the tax silver. We cannot let the silver fall into the hands of thieves. This is the foundation of the country."
"But we didn't expect that even with such a big commotion, no one came to check. It was as if the river had been emptied."
"And in the end, we were charged with corruption."
Lord Xun looked at Lu Heyu and said, "I think someone has betrayed our whereabouts."
Lu Heyu carefully recalled the information in the case file: "The officers patrolling the river at the time said they didn't hear any unusual movements."
"Of course they didn't dare to say it. I suspect they were the ones who leaked our whereabouts. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they said they didn't hear such a loud explosion?"
Lord Xun became more and more excited as he spoke, and he could hardly suppress the ghostly aura in his body.
Su Nuobai waved her hand casually, dispersing his accumulated resentment to prevent him from hurting Qi Yu and others.
Lu Heyu also felt that this matter was very strange. If what Lord Xun said was true, the explosion at that time would not be small, so how could it be possible not to hear it.
He looked at the city not far away. When the previous emperor was in power, a navy was stationed there to ensure the safety of ships on the river.
"Xingyun, go to the village tomorrow and check if the elderly remember what happened that year."
"Yes." Xingyun nodded in agreement.
Su Nuobai thought for a moment and said, "You can go to Yu Sheng's house. I saw his face today and he said there is a long-lived elder in his family. I wonder if he can help you."
"Lord Su, you have been a great help." Xingyun immediately thanked him.
Qi Yu came closer to her: "Master Su, what about this Master Xun?"
"I'm afraid he won't reincarnate until their grievances are redressed. So many lives cannot be let go just like that." Su Nuo looked at him and said.
Qi Yu felt a little headache: "We can't just leave him here!"
"Who said to leave him here? I'll make a little paper man for him later and you take him with you." Su Nuobai turned and looked at him.
"Me?" Qi Yu felt terrible.
"Don't worry, I can't hurt you. Once things are resolved, I will naturally send him to the underworld. It will also be a good deed for you. By the way, your child is getting married soon, right?"
Su Nuobai suddenly changed the subject.
Qi Yu nodded blankly: "Yeah."
"Good, good." After saying that, Su Nuobai took out yellow paper from her bag and casually tore off a small paper figure with her hands.
She reached out and grabbed Mr. Xun's soul, threw it into the paper man, and drew talismans with her fingers to block his negative energy to prevent him from getting emotional and accumulating resentment.
Mr. Xun moved his body in confusion and found himself on the little paper man. He stood up with a light jump and ran around on Su Nuobai's palm.
"Hey! That's pretty fun!"
Su Nuobai threw the little paper figurine to Qi Yu: "You will follow Master Qi for the near future. When your affairs are settled, I will send you to reincarnate."
She stretched and looked at Lu Heyu: "Are you going to work overtime again?"
Lu Heyu nodded helplessly: "It seems so. I hope I can help Master Xun clear his grievances before the New Year."
Su Nuobai reached out and grabbed his wrist, combing his meridians for him: "Okay, there shouldn't be anything to worry about recently. I will go back to Hekou Village tomorrow to spend the New Year with my mother."
"I won't be back in Beijing until after the New Year. If you have anything to say, let me know. It's best if it's nothing."
Lu Heyu smiled and shook his head: "Are you not planning to attend the palace banquet?"
"The palace banquet is so boring, all they eat is cold dishes. It's better to have a hot meal at home. Why don't you tell His Majesty that this palace banquet is extravagant and wasteful, and why not let everyone go home and have a hot meal together?"
Su Nuobai blinked mischievously.
"That makes sense. I will definitely submit a memorial for you during the morning court tomorrow and say that it was you who said it." Lu Heyu looked at her with a smile.
"Okay, that's what I said anyway. Let's go and send the chosen worker back to the Ministry of Justice." Su Nuobai got on the carriage after he finished speaking.
The others smiled and shook their heads before getting on the carriage.
The lanterns on the river surface slowly sank to the bottom of the river and disappeared.
"Master Xun, will the lanterns on the river appear again?" Qi Yu looked at Master Xun in his palm.
"No more." Lord Xun left some words unsaid.
Su Nuobai knew but didn't intend to say that the location where those lanterns were was not only the burial place of other dead officials, but also the location of the missing official silver.
The explosion that year killed all the pirates and made the whereabouts of the official silver a mystery.
By the time someone wants to look for it, they no longer know where to look.
He will tell Xi Jinyou about this matter after Lord Xun and his men are cleared of their grievances.
After sending a few workers to the Ministry of Justice, Su Nuobai waved to them and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I will leave first."
After saying this, the carriage disappeared.
Qi Yu and the others looked at the disappearing carriage with resentment, and resigned themselves to going into the Ministry of Justice to discuss how to investigate the case of that year.
Su Nuobai put all the New Year gifts into her backpack, so they didn't take up any space at all.
Butler Mu said he wanted to spend the New Year with Qin Bo and the others, so Su Nuobai didn't take him with her.
Ziqi said he wanted to stay in Shengjing City to take a look around, and also to look after the house and take care of Linglingcao.
Hu Lili wants to find her demon friends.
Su Nuobai finally let them go, but she did send a message to Xi Tianyun: "Tianyun, do you want to celebrate the New Year with me?"
"Okay! Come and pick me up." Xi Tianyun agreed readily.
Qingyun Temple was very busy during the New Year, and he really couldn't help here, so he simply went down the mountain to find Su Nuobai.
Su Nuobai went to pick up Xi Tianyun first, and handed over all the money he had earned recently to Qingyun Temple, and burned incense for the old man by the way.
"Old man, the New Year is coming soon. I wish you a happy New Year! Why don't you give your lovely eldest apprentice some New Year gifts?"
The incense in her hand was thrown out of the hall again, lying alone on the ground, emitting smoke.
"Who are you trying to imitate when it comes to being so stingy? Can you please learn from me? I give you all the money I have."
A banana on the altar flew up and hit her on the forehead.
Su Nuobai reached out and took the banana: "Forget it, a banana is a banana. I'll just consider it your New Year's gift. I won't argue with an old man like you."
Feng Zhi and Xi Tianyun were speechless. In fact, they were very curious about what kind of person their master was and how he could have a disciple like Su Nuobai.
They don’t know if they will have the chance to see him in the future. If they do, they will definitely ask him about it.
But before that, the two of them still burned incense obediently. Their incense was in the incense burner, only Su Nuobai was outside the hall.
