Chapter 189 Qinghe is dead, and Shou Zong is finished
Mai Batian, together with his father and grandfather, have always dominated the southwest. By his generation, they are all named Mai Batian.
Looking at the little fat boy blinking his eyes, I knew something was wrong.
Xu Pang stammered, "You, you know everything?"
"Hmm? What does the King know?"
Seeing that his housekeeper was as stupid as a little fat pig, Zhou Xiaocheng couldn't help but yell, "Just tell me what you want to say. Are you asking people to guess riddles?"
Xu Pang was determined and said directly: "I had an argument with Manager Mai, and he lost."
The King of Nanhai was stunned: "What do you mean? Why did you quarrel with Manager Mai? Can you win the quarrel?"
This little fat guy is not good at quarreling or fighting. To put it nicely, he is honest. To put it bluntly, he is a coward. How can he win an argument with Manager Mai? He is lucky that he was not beaten half to death.
Well, that’s not right. Maybe he really won. There is no scar on Xu Pang’s face.
"I am not good at talking, and I was originally not going to win the argument, but Manager Mai has something on him."
"Oh, so you have evidence against him? Tell me about it." King Nanzhong did not throw the fat boy away for the sake of King Nanhai.
Xu Pang was sweating and said, "Report to the Prince of Nanzhong, Mai Shou is actually a spy."
He told the King of Nanzhong everything that Xu Wenrong had said to him. Fearing that the King of Nanzhong would accuse him of talking nonsense, he immediately said, "I revealed the details of Chief Mai, and he did not object. He just wanted to kill me to silence me."
Mai Batian's face suddenly turned very bad. In fact, he had always been suspicious about the wheat harvest, especially last year when food and grass were lost and he had no clue what to do.
He just felt that Mai Shou was an old man around him, who had worked hard for the palace over the years and made great contributions, so he shouldn't be a spy.
"Who told you that he was a spy?"
Xu Pang was shocked. Young Master Xu was really vicious. He said that the prince would definitely ask him who said that.
"I went to Kyoto on business and heard that the Special Adviser was beheaded by His Majesty. When His Majesty was unconscious, the Special Adviser colluded with Prince Xi and sent his second son Wei Bufan to replace Chen Jingyao to exterminate my prince. So I went to Caishikou to watch His Majesty chop off the Special Adviser's head."
"I just happened to see someone robbing an execution ground. The swords were merciless, and I was afraid of death, so I followed them and hid in a small alley. Who knew that a group of men in black would also come to kill me. Several men in black died in front of me, and I was almost scared to death."
The King of the South China Sea said nothing, waiting to see what kind of cocoon this stupid butler could make.
Others may not know, but he knew it clearly: whenever his fat butler lied, he would keep scratching his thigh with his right fingers.
Xu Pang scratched his thigh and said, "The dead man was right in front of me, staring at me. I was scared to death. After everyone left, I saw a silk scroll dropped on the ground."
Having said this, he fished in his pocket and actually took out a scroll.
The King of the South China Sea blinked in surprise. Interesting, the fat boy was not lying when he was picking his legs?
Taking the scroll, the King of Nanhai read the words on it:
Muzhu, the foster brother of the Fourth Prince Yu, is the adopted son of Mai Shou, the steward of the Nanzhong Palace. Mai Shou is actually the illegitimate son of Tang Yao, the prefect of Jinchang. He was castrated at the age of 5, entered Liangbo Camp at the age of 6, and entered the Nanzhong Palace at the age of 10. He could be reused.
The King of Nanhai was horrified and handed the silk to Mai Batian. Mai Batian read it twice and said to the King of Nanhai, "Brother Zhou, can I take this letter back with me?"
"You can take it back. If it is useful, that would be great. Brother Mai should carefully examine it. This idiot has been stupid since childhood. Someone may have deliberately used this idiot to wrongly accuse a good person." The King of Nanhai said, "General Manager Mai has worked hard for Brother Wang for decades. Don't let him disappoint people."
Mai Batian said calmly: "Brother Zhou, don't worry. These brothers know a thing or two about this. Butler Xu is famous for his kindness. I'm afraid he won't be able to learn to lie."
The King of Nanhai laughed heartily, not feeling embarrassed at all.
Xu Pang was furious. Was this saying that he was so stupid that he couldn't even lie?
The King of Nanhai asked Xu Pang to go out and continued to talk with the King of Nanzhong, and never mentioned the matter of Shou Zong again.
It was late at night. Zhou Tu and his companions were in the rest area behind the arena. They packed up the carriage and let Xie Yanyan rest in it.
The aroma of egg tarts is lingering in the Nanhai Palace all night long. Many people who stay up late to watch the game do so just to get an egg tart from the Nanhai Palace. If they don’t eat it themselves, they can take it back for their children.
It was the middle of the night and the people could no longer bear it and went home. Only a few contestants and the disciples designated by the judges were left on the scene. The runners from the Chencheng government office were guarding them to prevent cheating.
Er Gouzi, the head chef, and the innkeeper were so excited about learning a new recipe that they took turns baking the egg tarts.
Because of the delicious food, the competition area was very excited, no one dozed off, and the salt-making operation was not affected at all.
Zhou Tu asked Xie Yanyan: "Do you want to give some to the judges?"
"No."
Qingshan came over at daybreak, carrying a food box in his hand, but he didn't give it to McDull. Instead, he went to the rest area of the Nanhai Palace to give it to Xie Yanyan.
"Miss Xie, this is the bird's nest that the master gave you."
"Thank you, Brother Chu." Xie Yanyan sat up from the recliner and took the food box. The bird's nest was still hot, so she drank it directly after taking it.
Chu Xiwang treated her well and she was not that pretentious.
"Master chef, bring this brother a plate of baked egg tarts."
"Okay." Ergouzi quickly filled a baking tray with freshly baked egg tarts for Qingshan.
While drinking bird's nest, she suddenly asked, "Qingshan, why can't I see Qinghe?"
Qingshan, Qingjin and Qingxiu were all there, but Qinghe was nowhere to be seen. The day before yesterday, she heard Qingshan's voice, saying that Qinghe was gone.
Qingshan was silent for a while, then said, "Qinghe died to save his master."
"What's going on?" Xie Yanyan paused, thinking of the smiling big boy, who was not very old, probably only about 20 years old.
Last time, when they parted in Chencheng, she gave him two animal-shaped metal lighters.
He was very excited at that time, and was ready to come to her for fuel when the tinderbox ran out of fuel three years later.
Became a farewell forever (＞＜)
"We fell into a trap, I was lured away from the mountain, the master was surrounded by the enemy, Qingxiu had one arm chopped off, and Qinghe blocked an arrow for the master. Gone!
Before he died, he gave the fire starter Miss Xie gave him to his master. The master knew that he liked that fire starter the most, so he buried it with him. "”(>д<;)
There was some anxiety on Xie Yan's indifferent face. It was an era of chaos and war among heroes. It was completely different from the 22nd century. At that time, the death of one person would become a hot topic, but now, there were countless casualties caused by fighting every day.
Anxious, but helpless.
She didn't know the reason why Chu Xiwang was competing for the Central Plains and she didn't want to ask. He had already become "Your Majesty" and there was no point in asking.
I can't drink bird's nest anymore.
She said to Qingshan: "Qinghe sent me two letters. We are friends. Tell me where he is buried. I will find time to pay my respects to him."
"I'll ask the master later." Qingshan said, "Miss Xie, don't be sad. Life and death are common. You'll get used to it."
Xie Yanyan didn't talk to him anymore, washed his face, and went to the stadium.
The coarse salt is ready. When the judges arrive, we can refine the salt and end the competition.
When the judges entered the venue in the morning, they saw someone rushing to the stage of Nanzhong Palace and whispering something to Prince Mai and McDull.
The expressions of Prince Mai and McDull suddenly became very solemn.
My darlings, I’m posting two chapters today, and I’m very happy so far.
I will probably post three chapters tomorrow based on everyone's comments. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. Prince Zhou is in jail. Sister Yan will kill people.
