The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber
Chapter 57 The Embarrassing Gift
Seeing Xiaochengzi leave with the young leader of the Cao Gang, Lin Tian's mind was already running fast. The scenes that happened when she met Cao Changrong today were like playing a movie in her mind, one frame at a time. One frame after another slowly went through, not letting go of the slightest detail.
"Xiaotian, Xiaotian!" Situ Meng yelled several times, and Lin Tian came back to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You say that what they just said is true?" Situ Meng asked while playing with the token in his hand.
"It doesn't really matter how much! Anyway, the Cao Gang is not an important role for you and me! If you are obedient, then keep them to help my brother. The new official of my brother is just in time when there is a shortage of manpower. .
If they want to do small tricks in private, then there is no need to keep them!Anyway, it is not difficult to rebuild a new Cao Gang!It's just a little more effort and money! "Lin Tianman said indifferently.
"That's right!" Situ Meng nodded clearly, and continued to ask: "Tell me, why did the people from the Zhen family choose Xuzhou for this joint? You know, whether it is the chief rudder of the Cao Gang or the The headquarters of the Zhen family are all in Jinling!"
"Because this is where the three provinces of Henan, Shandong, and Jiangsu meet, the official salt transported from Yangzhou may be dismantled by them here, and then transformed into private salt, which is then transported to other places for sale!" When Lin Tian said this, his heart moved, and he said, "Maybe, this time we really caught a big fish!"
"What? What's the big fish?" Situ Meng's eyes were a little puzzled, obviously not keeping up with Lin Tian's leaping thinking.
"This Xuzhou is probably an important transit base for them. There is probably a huge warehouse where they store salt! If you can find this place and get evidence that they converted official salt into private salt, then no matter what they do Who is the master behind it, this time it is dead!" Lin Tian said, his eyes lit up, and he took out a detailed map of the entire Xuzhou Mansion from the side drawer.
This was because Situ Meng was afraid that she would be bored after staying in the cabin for a long time, so he used it to let her choose a place to visit.
"Look, here!" Lin Tian pointed his finger at the place of Yunlong Lake, and said: "There is just a waterway connected to the canal, and here is surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the city on one side, and there are some small islands in the middle of the lake. , What a good place to hide!"
"Oh!" Situ Meng agreed listlessly, thinking, "Oh!What a beautiful date for two!It seems that this time it has been ruined again! '
"It's really only the two of us going tomorrow! After all, this unannounced visit will only be a bad thing if there are too many people!" Lin Tian said, patted Situ Meng on the shoulder, and said: "Mengmeng, look Our first date alone is very different! How about secretly investigating the private salt dealers, hiding the salt base, catching the mastermind behind the scenes, and eradicating the first cancer of the Dayong Dynasty? Is it fun? Is it exciting? "
"Just the two of us?" Situ Meng's eyes lit up, he nodded without thinking about anything, and said, "No problem, as long as we don't bring other people with us!"
"Hehe..." Lin Tian looked at this boyfriend whose IQ was seriously lowered when he heard that he could be alone with him, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in his heart.
Early the next morning, just after Situ Meng and Lin Tian had breakfast, the Governor of Xuzhou came to visit again.Although Situ Meng was somewhat reluctant, the emperor gave him an order after all, so he had no choice but to put on a full set of princely attire, and received the magistrate directly in the small flower hall in the dragon boat.
"Your Majesty, see the prince!" Governor of Xuzhou did not bring any other attendants this time, holding a small box in his hand the second time, and saluted respectfully.
"Exemption!" Situ Meng said nonchalantly. At this moment, his heart had already flown to Lin Tian's side, and he didn't even bother to say a polite word to the governor of Xuzhou.
"My lord, this is just a little care from my subordinates, and I hope my lord will accept it with a smile!" Xuzhou Fu Yin didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Situ Meng's gourd, so he didn't dare to say more, but respectfully held the small bottle in his hand. The box was placed on the table in front of Situ Meng, and he continued with a smile on his face:
"Although our Xuzhou Mansion is not comparable to Jiangnan, there are still many good places. Would you like to step down as an official to lead the way and have a good time?"
"Don't bother! My lord is busy with business, so I won't bother you! I don't know what's inside?" Situ Meng pointed to the box and asked casually.
"Hehe, here is a piece of our local specialty, Xuzhou jade carving. It is not a precious thing, but its shape is very strange. I think the prince will like it! The next official also prepared some accessories for the prince, which is very interesting. It's just that, please ask the prince to check it in private..."
As Xuzhou Fu Yin said, he squeezed his eyes towards Situ Meng, and there was a meaning on his face that everyone understood, and Situ Meng was bewildered.
"Yeah, I know!" Situ Meng said a few perfunctory words, then sent Xuzhou Fu Yin away, picked up the box and went to find Lin Tian.
While Situ Meng was changing his clothes, Lin Tian accidentally saw the strangely shaped small box he brought, so he opened it without thinking too much.
"Er..." After seeing the contents clearly, Lin Tian's face turned livid, and the hand holding the box lid creaked involuntarily.
But it turned out that what was contained in the box was a male-female version of goblin fighting, and it was also a jade carving version. Except for the blurring of the facial features, every detail of the other body was carved exquisitely, it was so lifelike!
Beside the statue is a stack of brochures, the top one is so casually written with the eighteen styles of Longyang. Looking at the exquisite cover, it is a high-end version of painting!
At this moment, Lin Tiantian is furious and burns everything inside. He really can't wait to slap all the things in this box into powder.
Lin Tian's original good mood for dating the two was completely defeated at this moment, and he didn't have any thoughts on investigating the case, only anger and annoyance remained.
She barely suppressed the anger in her heart, gently put the lid back on the box, and then sat on a chair beside her, waiting for Situ Meng to come out.
"Xiao Tian, it's getting late, let's go!" Situ Meng came out from behind the screen, and said with joy on his face.
"Well, don't worry! It's still early! What is this!" Lin Tian said, knocking on the box meaningfully.
"You talk about this! It was sent by the governor of Xuzhou just now. It is said to be a local product here, Xuzhou jade carving! You can ask Xiao Chengzi to take it in a while, and put it together with the things sent by the officials before, and give it to you later. Brother Huang, send it over!" Situ Meng said casually while fastening his belt.
"Really?" Lin Tian smiled playfully and said, "Mengmeng, have you seen what's inside?"
"No! What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Although he became a little dull because of love, seeing Lin Tian's strange appearance, Situ Meng felt something was wrong in his heart.
"Hehe... You should take a look before you talk!" After Lin Tian finished speaking, he pushed the box in Situ Meng's direction.
"What! What they can give away are antiques, calligraphy and paintings? Xiaotian, you are so mysterious!" Situ Meng said, picked up the box, and opened the lid casually.
"Ah!" Situ Meng exclaimed, and the box in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and his whole body was filled with blood, and his face was so red that it was about to drip water.
"What is the meaning of this governor of Xuzhou? Why did you give me such a thing! Xiaotian, you have to believe me, I really don't know!" Situ Meng anxiously took Lin Tian's hand, hurriedly He explained: "I really didn't ask him to get me this stuff at the bottom of the box, nor did I ask him to get me erotic pictures! This, this, this..."
Situ Meng spoke incoherently in a hurry, and didn't even know what he was talking about.
"Hahahaha..." Seeing Situ Meng getting angry in a hurry, Lin Tian suddenly laughed heartily, patted the back of Situ Meng's hand, and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay! I believe you! My little Mengmeng is the most innocent. After all, we grew up together. I don't know what you are like! Don't rush to explain, you should go first Pick it up and have a good look at that thing! It’s not just an ordinary bottom bag!” Lin Tian said meaningfully.
"What!" Situ Meng also came back to his senses at this moment, bent down and picked up the things on the ground, and only then did he see the content clearly. Suddenly, his whole body was furious, wishing to unload the governor of Xuzhou. eight dollars.
"Damn, what does this Xuzhoufu Yin mean? He, him, him ... it is too bullying! Where did the king offend him?
This thing is ten times more exciting than the bottom of the box he thought just now. Even though he has experienced a lot of turmoil, Situ Meng is still very angry. Swallowed alive.
"Hey, Mengmeng, don't be angry!" Lin Tian pulled Situ Meng to sit down, patted him on the back lightly, and comforted him softly: "I think we are looking for the connector of the Zhen family. It should be possible to start with the governor of Xuzhou!"
"What? What? It's all here!" Situ Meng was completely confused by Lin Tian's sudden turn.
"Hehe... You forgot, the two of us walked hand in hand in Xuzhou city for a long time yesterday! Besides, we are dressed like this!" Lin Tian said, pointing to the men's clothes he and Situ Meng were wearing now, He said: "I'm afraid someone thought about it after seeing it, and then told the governor of Xuzhou about it, so they thought they discovered your secret and sent this special gift!"
"Who the hell is slandering me so much? See if I don't get him cramped!" Situ Meng slapped the table angrily, his eyes widened.
"Except for that Cao Changrong, who else could it be? After all, what a good thing is someone who can put black accounts in erotic pictures!" Lin Tian said with a sneer.
"That's just right. Let's stay in Xuzhou Mansion for a while longer this time. If we don't check them out and clean them up, I won't be Situ Meng anymore!"
At this moment, Situ Meng was like an enraged lion. He quickly stuffed those things back into the box and closed it tightly, then walked to the window, and with a wave of his hand, the box sank into the canal , completely disappeared.After Situ Meng finished all this, he pulled Lin Tian and walked out quickly.
"Xiaotian, Xiaotian!" Situ Meng yelled several times, and Lin Tian came back to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You say that what they just said is true?" Situ Meng asked while playing with the token in his hand.
