Su Mei had never heard of Gongsun Ying, but she had obviously heard of Bai Jin. Tang Ning explained: "On the way to Chu State this time, I met a woman who also knew the art of Gu. She repeatedly caused trouble for us. Later,
When I caught her, she said her name was Gongsun Ying and asked me if I knew Bai Jin..."
"Bai Jin is my master." Su Mei put down the spoon, stood up and said, "I'll ask her."
"What's the hurry..." Tangning sat down on her shoulders and said, "It's not too late to ask after eating these."
Su Mei looked at him, then sat down and continued to drink the pear soup Tang Ning cooked for her.
Tang Ning asked, "Is your master the old lady who often appears here?"
"It's her." Su Mei nodded and said while drinking soup: "I lost my parents when I was a child. It was my master who picked me up, taught me martial arts, and raised me."
When she was talking in her sleep, Tang Ning was sitting by the bed. She knew that she was not separated from her parents, but was abandoned. She often dreams about this even now, which shows how much this incident has hurt her. Naturally, Tang Ning doesn't want to
He opened her scar, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
Su Mei finished the pear soup and walked out of the room. After a while, the old woman Tang Ning had met before walked in quickly, looked at Tang Ning and asked, "You said you have met Gongsun Ying, where is she now?"
"At the Ping'an County Government Office." Tang Ning had already guessed that the middle-aged woman was related to Su Mei, so she did not let Lu Teng take her away, but directly locked her up in the county government prison.
The old woman took a step forward and said, "Take me to see her!"
Xiao Tao said that the old woman once made Su Mei kneel down for three days and three nights. Tang Ning felt angry when she thought about it. She shook her head and said, "Do you think the county government is a place where you can get in if you want?"
The old woman looked angry and said loudly: "You..."
Su Mei came over, tugged on his sleeve, and said, "You must have a way, just find a way to let us in."
Of course, there are many ways to get into the prison. You can bring people in with just an excuse to visit the prison. Tang Ning couldn't stand this old woman who always had a straight face. But now that Su Mei had spoken, he couldn't refuse anymore. He stood up and said:
"Follow me."
…
At the door of the prison, two jailers saw him coming and immediately bowed and said, "Master Tang."
Although Zhao County Cheng and his father-in-law often quarreled, they were actually of the same mind. Together, the two of them had already turned the entire county government into an iron barrel.
Tang Ning often comes to the county government office and is familiar with the government officials here.
He waved his hand and said: "Take them to see the woman who was imprisoned yesterday."
"Yes." The jailer nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Please."
The old woman glanced at Su Mei and said, "You wait outside, I can go alone."
Tangning's face darkened, she glanced at her, and said, "If you have anything to say, hurry up. You only have a quarter of an hour."
After the old woman walked in, Su Meicai looked at Tang Ning, who looked unhappy, and asked, "Has my master offended you?"
"No."
Su Mei wondered: "Then why do you have such a bad attitude towards her?"
"Who asked her to punish you by kneeling for so long?"
"..."
"Did Xiao Tao tell you?" Su Mei was startled and said, "Sooner or later, this damn girl will have her mouth sewn up."
Although her words were fierce, the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously when she said these words.
Tangning shook her head and said, "You should also think more about yourself."
Su Mei looked at him and asked, "Do you still remember what you said back then?"
Tangning asked in surprise: "What are you talking about?"
Su Mei looked into his eyes and said: "You said that if it were me, you would treat me the same way you treated Princess Pingyang... Is this true?"
As a human being, you must know how to repay kindness. A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring.
Tang Ning knew who was good to him. She looked at Su Mei, touched her chest, and said, "I swear, if this sentence is even remotely false, let me..."
Su Mei's eyes flashed, she stretched out her fingertips to press his lips, and said, "These words are enough. As for what I want to do for you, that's what I like, and you have nothing to do with it..."
She was willing to pay ten times and a hundred times for a hypothetical promise. What kind of experience could make her develop such a character? Tangning thought about it and suddenly felt sad. She changed the subject and said, "Who is that Gongsun Ying? Your master."
She seems to care about her very much."
"I don't know." Su Mei shook her head and said, "She has never mentioned it to me."
Tangning thought for a moment, looked at her, and said mysteriously, "Follow me."
He walked into the prison, but instead of walking forward, he turned to a room on the left.
Su Mei followed him in and saw a wide wall covered with a kind of tubular object. She walked to the wall and asked in surprise: "What is this?"
This room was actually a listening room specially designed by Tang Ning.
Those things that the prisoner is unwilling to admit in court may be said intentionally or unintentionally without warning.
These copper cylinders are connected by copper pipes at the bottom and extend to each cell. In this room, the movements of each cell can be monitored.
Tangning looked at a guard in the room and asked, "What room is the woman who was detained yesterday?"
The officer said: "No. 6."
Each room had two earphones. Tang Ning walked to the wall, attached one ear to the other, and motioned for Su Mei to put the other one on.
When Su Mei imitated his example and put her ear close to the earphones, Tang Ning realized that the distance between the two earphones was too close. After both of them pressed against each other, the distance between the tips of their noses was only an inch.
It was the first time Su Mei saw this thing. She put her ear to the earphone and looked at him with interest. Tangning blushed a little and simply closed her eyes and listened carefully to the sound in the earphone.
The sound coming in through the copper pipe has been weakened, but fortunately it can still be heard clearly.
In a cell somewhere, a jailer opened the door and said to the old woman: "Go in, remember you only have a quarter of an hour."
The old woman walked in, and after the jailer left, the middle-aged woman sitting on the bed raised her head, looked at her, with a faint smile on her face, and said: "Sister, I haven't seen you in more than ten years, you have aged a lot.
."
The old woman took a deep breath and said slowly: "It is indeed you."
"Senior sister?" In another room, Tang Ning had a look of surprise on her face. She didn't expect that this middle-aged woman was actually the old woman's junior sister, who was also Su Mei's senior uncle?
He looked at Su Mei opposite him and saw that she also had a surprised expression. She had obviously never heard of this uncle.
In the cell, the old woman looked at the middle-aged woman and asked, "Where have you been all these years?"
"I'm not as capable as my senior sister." The middle-aged woman sneered and said: "You have actually entered the Chen Kingdom's court, and even the wedding messenger is your apprentice. Along the way, I heard that your apprentice is very
Trusted by the emperor, great things can be expected when he grows up..."
"What do you mean?" The old woman frowned and asked, "You mean the boy named Tang, he is not my apprentice."
"Do you think I will believe it?" The middle-aged woman looked at her with disbelief and asked: "He is not your apprentice, you will give him the ice silkworm Gu?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." The old woman glanced at her and said, "The traitor stole the ice silkworm Gu and gave it to him. I have already punished her severely."
"Just severe punishment?" The middle-aged woman looked at her and said: "Ice silkworms are rare, and ice silkworm Gu is even more difficult to refine. You regard that ice silkworm Gu as your life, but you didn't kill her?"
The old woman said calmly: "She is naturally charming, and her effect on me is more important than the ice silkworm Gu."
"Born to be charming?" The middle-aged woman frowned, then relaxed her eyebrows and said: "People who are born to be charming are indeed suitable for practicing your kung fu. You only need to perform three points to make a man fascinated.
It’s a good tool.”
"Let's not talk about her anymore." The old woman waved her hand and said, "Tell me about you, how did you end up in such a situation..."
In another room, Tang Ning walked away from the wall with a sullen face, pulled Su Mei away and said, "I won't listen anymore!"
Su Mei rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The attitudes revealed by the two people's words made him furious. Tangning looked at Su Mei and asked, "She only treats you as a tool, why are you still staying with her?"
"Are you angry because of this?" Su Mei was startled, the smile on her face became brighter, she gently pulled his face and said: "Without her, I would have froze to death and starved to death outside.
It doesn’t matter even if she uses her as a tool..."
Tang Ning took her hand away, and Su Mei reached out and shook his arm, saying, "I'm not even angry, so don't be angry either..."
Tangning said angrily: "Nonsense, you are my sister!"
Su Mei looked at him and asked with a smile: "Since you know that I am your sister, why don't you still listen to your sister?"
Tangning closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A jailer walked in and said, "Sir, the old woman is out."
Tangning walked out, and the old woman came from inside, walked to him, and said, "Can you find a way to let her out?"
"Let him out?" Tangning became angry when she saw this old face and said angrily: "Do you think this prison is run by your family and you can come and leave whenever you want?"
The old woman reached out and wiped the saliva from her face. She didn't know why he was so angry and stood there in shock for a moment.
