Chapter 1428 Inquiry (December Monthly Ticket Plus 12)
Manbao picked through the pile of things and gave a set of tea sets that looked very useful and valuable to the gentleman, and a piece of cloth suitable for men to Brother Xiang Mingxue. He put the rest into the room. Manbao put the pepper into the system and asked curiously, "Do you have this thing?"
"Yes, but the genetic data is different. It belongs to an ancient species." So it's not sure how many reward points it will get, but it's better than nothing. She has a box.
Manbao thinks so too.
Points are more important to her now. Last time, Bai Shan found an opportunity to go out and bought a mule and a donkey for her. The two of them secretly collected them without arousing any suspicion.
Manbao had just put away his things and stuffed the particularly valuable spices and gems into the system space when there was a knock on the door. Xiang Chao said from outside, "Manbao, Master Tang is here."
Manbao hurried out.
Lord Tang had just greeted Mr. Zhuang and Xiang Mingxue. Seeing that Xiang Mingxue was already able to stand and walk slowly, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Zhou Man is really capable.
Although he had never met Xiang Mingxue, he had always known him.
It was he who found out about the Xiang family in Dongxi Village. He heard about it when he went to Beijing. Among the few remaining members of the Xiang family, Xiang Mingxue was a direct descendant and the mastermind behind several assassination attempts on the King of Yizhou. It was said that the tendons in both of his feet had been torn.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Man actually managed to connect the person.
After a little thought, Lord Tang invited him to stay and talk.
Xiang Mingxue didn't like Guaner very much, but he still agreed.
Manbao became a little nervous when he came out and saw Lord Tang, and couldn't help winking at him.
She didn't tell her family about the car accident yesterday.
Lord Tang smiled when he saw them and said, "There's a place just outside the alley that makes excellent mutton soup and Hu pancakes. I was passing by and wanted to invite Manbao to try some, but I didn't expect to see Master Xiang. I've read all of Master Xiang's novels and have always admired him, so I'd like to have the audacity to invite you to have a meal together."
Xiang Mingxue: "...Most of the things in that book were fabricated by Bai Er. Lord Tang should know that."
"I don't think so," Lord Tang said with a smile. "Things can be made up, but this character's tenacity and intelligence are real. So I think you just haven't had the opportunity. If you had the opportunity, it would definitely be as described in the book."
Xiang Mingxue: ...Forget it, he didn't want to drift with the flood for two days and then crash into a secret realm.
Anything that could really float in the flood for two days could only be a corpse. He doesn't have that ability.
However, he still followed Lord Tang out to eat mutton soup and Hu Bing.
Manbao touched his stomach. He was too nervous when meeting the Queen Mother, and mainly because he had walked such a long way. He was indeed a little hungry, so he said something to Mr. Zhuang and left with Lord Tang.
Mr. Zhuang was certain that they were hiding something from him.
However, seeing that Lord Tang was also there and did not seem very nervous, he shook his head and sat leisurely in the recliner to read.
Manbao tore off a piece of Hu pancake and soaked it in the mutton offal soup. After soaking in the soup, he took a bite and the pancake was mixed with the fragrance of the soup and the oil, which was especially delicious.
Lord Tang also tore up some bread and threw it into the mutton soup, saying with a smile, "With the Queen Mother's reward, there should be fewer people bothering you now."
Manbao glanced at Xiang Mingxue and saw that he was concentrating on eating, so he didn't hesitate to ask directly, "Brother Tang, do you mean that someone will cause trouble for me again?"
"There will always be people who do not know the current situation, and are unable to know the current situation." Lord Tang said meaningfully. The person who replaced the wine for the prince might stop, but the person who gave the prince poison would probably not stop.
This is just like a murderer who keeps killing people. Once he starts, he can't stop. Not only his own heart, but also the people around him won't let him stop.
Lord Tang said, "So you should be careful when you go out these days."
He said, "Your Majesty has handed this matter over to Lord Yin to investigate, and I am assisting Lord Yin. It is obvious that His Majesty is very angry this time."
This was even more irritating than the last time when the prince's wine was swapped and he got drunk. I heard that the emperor sent someone to Luozhou to reprimand Prince Gong last night.
The reason was that he did not cherish the farming time and did not fulfill his duties as a local vassal king. He did not even go to the fields to plow the fields and encourage people to engage in farming.
It talks about the Dragon Raising its Head on the Second Day of the Second Month.
But this is just a small matter. Nine out of ten princes did not plow the land, and the common people did not care. Who would blame people for such a custom?
And how long has it been since February 2nd?
Manbao hummed as he ate, "I'm just a doctor, but he's too overbearing. He even controls my medical treatment."
He was talking about the third prince.
Lord Tang said meaningfully: "But he may not be him~"
Manbao was stunned for a moment, blinked, and asked, "Wasn't it the Third Prince who did it?"
Lord Tang laughed and said, "We haven't found anything yet. There's no evidence to suggest that the Third Prince did it."
Of course, there is no evidence to prove that it was not done by the Third Prince, but everyone seems to think that it was done by the Third Prince.
Manbao thought about it for a while, then came to her senses and lowered her head to eat the cake.
Only then did Lord Tang look at Xiang Mingxue.
Xiang Mingxue slowly took the handkerchief beside him and wiped his mouth, then asked, "Did anything happen yesterday?"
Manbao felt guilty for a moment and didn't say anything.
Mr. Tang smiled and told the story of Manbao's carriage breaking and falling yesterday, and then said, "Master Xiang is always well-informed. I would like to ask you for help to find out more."
Xiang Mingxue froze, turned his head to look at Manbao, and asked, "So the pig heart we ate last night was..."
Manbao nodded, "That person lost it."
Tang Daren's hand holding the pancake froze slightly, and he turned to look at Manbao, "Did you eat all that heart, liver, and kidney?"
Manbao nodded.
Xiang Mingxue felt his hands trembling a little and asked, "Liver and kidney..."
"I stewed it and gave it to Rong Si at the pharmacy. He had diarrhea and there happened to be a prescription for these two."
Xiang Mingxue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, it was just a pig's heart.
but……
Xiang Mingxue couldn't help but shudder, then said, "Just throw this kind of thing away in the future. We don't lack that little money for food at home. If you like to eat it, just ask Aunt Rong to buy it."
"No!" Manbao said, "If they dare to give it to me, I dare to eat it. It's not poisonous, so what should I be afraid of?"
Lord Tang couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, expressing his admiration.
Xiang Mingxue felt something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "You didn't eat much of the pig heart last night, did you? Even Bai Shan and Bai Er didn't eat much..."
Manbao lowered his head to drink the soup.
Xiang Mingxue was so angry that he drank an extra bowl of soup. He almost felt that his body became so heavy that he couldn't walk.
However, despite this, he still promised Manbao to keep it a secret and not tell Mr. Zhuang or anyone else in the family.
Lord Tang came today mainly to ask about some details of Manbao's yesterday. After confirming everything, he paid the bill and left.
After he paid the bill, Manbao bought a pot of soup and a basket of cakes from the store owner and asked him to deliver them to his home.
So when Bai Shan and the others came back from school, dinner at home was mutton soup and Hu pancakes. The kitchen also prepared a few other dishes. It was quite delicious.
