Chapter 100 They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you telling me...
Mu Tian suddenly raised his head, looking at Pique in confusion, and then at his raised fist.
Pique smiled awkwardly, rubbed his fist a few times in the palm of his other hand, pointed to the door, and walked over to open the door without looking back.
"Young man, you can't suffer any loss at all!"
"It's General Jinhu."
Piqué shouted, leading Jin Hu in.
"Has the arrangement been made?" Mu Tian looked at Jin Hu and asked.
"Mr. Mu's order, don't dare to neglect, it has been arranged. However, I have told the prince that he wants to have a chat with you alone before you start the investigation. Of course, Mr. Peake can also be present. The prince said that he will not
It takes up Mr. Mutian’s time too much.”
Mu Tian glanced at Pique, "Okay then, let's go see the prince first."
Jin Hu stepped aside and stood with his head bowed, signaling to Mu Tian to go first.
"Thanks."
Mu Tian thanked him and walked out of the house first.
Pique stared at Jin Hu carefully and followed Mu Tian.
Jin Hu closed the door and waved his hands to both sides.
Several armed arhats disappeared.
When Mu Tian and others came in, Wang Yidong was making tea.
In the huge room, there was only a low table, a charcoal stove, a pot, and a pile of tea cups placed in the middle. It was simpler than the "green pool" of the Purple House.
Wang Yidong sat on the futon behind him, calm and relaxed, focusing on the teapot, tea, and tea cups.
Jin Hu bowed forward and said, "Your Majesty, the guests have arrived."
Wang Yidong put down the teapot and waved his hand.
Jin Hu promised, bowed and exited.
"Please take a seat."
Only then did Wang Tongdong raise his head and gesture to Mutian and Piqué.
Mu Tian and Pi Ke came forward and sat down on the futon in front of them. The tea in the tea cup in front of them was already poured.
"Mr. Mutian, I heard that you are about to start investigating the case. I admire you for being so dedicated." Wang Yidong seemed to be going straight to the point.
"Human life is at stake. It is said that it involves a wide range of things and the situation is complicated. Since I have made a promise to the prince, I naturally dare not neglect it. I hope that what I have learned can relieve the prince's worries."
"Haha, okay. I'll thank you in advance. Come on, come on, drink tea." Wang Yidong's painting style changed, as if the clouds were becoming lighter and the wind was lighter.
Mutian and Pique looked at each other and drank tea.
Wang Yidong poured tea for them again and put the teapot on the charcoal stove.
The stove is burning charcoal, which is smokeless and red-hot.
"I wonder if Mr. Peake can drink tea as well as he can. Oh, please forgive me. Mr. Peake has been in China for many years, so he should have some experience in Chinese tea."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary, I just know a little bit about tea."
"Then what do you think of this tea?" Wang Yidong looked at Pique sharply.
"Your Majesty, I am so proud of you. How dare I try to do anything about tea?" Pique's eyes were blurred, as if he was trying to figure out Wang Yidong's meaning.
"This tea was given to me by Detective Jefferson from Minhang's prison. It is said to be aged Pu'er."
Pique grabbed the tea cup in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, put down the tea cup, and leaned against Wang Yidong.
The water on the stove started to boil. Wang Yidong took the pot and filled the cups with lids for making tea, then filtered it into the tea dispenser. He glanced at Peake's tea cup and leaned forward to pour it for him.
"He told me that his wife got it from the black market. Mrs. Jefferson seems to be an Indian or a noblewoman from some state. Her name is Lida, right, Mr. Peake?"
Pi Ke held the tea cup, but did not take it away from the sea of tea. He stared at Wang Yidong intently, with a smile on his face, but Mu Tian saw the stiffness on his face.
"It is said that Lida is very knowledgeable about tea. She often invites some of her best friends and the same Indian nobles to go to the Wutong Villa in Kelemen to have tea."
This person is a thief, why don't you just say "Sumari"? Why go around in such a circle?
Pique fell into deep thought for a moment.
"Mr. Peake probably doesn't want to talk about tea, so let's talk about Toad Island. How was the game today? Are you still used to it? Mr. Peake?"
"Oh, of course it's OK." Pique replied casually as if he was awakened.
It was the first time that Mu Tian saw Pique's panic-stricken look. He thought it was funny and gave him a joking look.
"Actually, there is another delicacy in Haizidang, but it doesn't look good, so I don't let them serve it. We call it 'Shui Lao Turtle' here, which is a kind of beetle that lives in the water. It eats microorganisms and mosquitoes in the water.
They live on the larvae of flies, dragonflies and various insects.”
"Oh, that's interesting."
"Its habits are also very interesting. The wings of this water turtle can fly. However, the insect larvae cannot provide it with enough nutrients to make its wings stronger and stronger and fly higher and farther. It was originally born in the water.
They crawl to the land to eat ants to get enough nutrition."
"Smart creatures, have they eaten ants?" Peake seemed to have recovered and asked with interest.
"Of course I have eaten it. Although the Shui Lao Turtle is also a beetle, it is a huge beetle to ants. Those straggler ants naturally become its prey. However, if it is unfortunate enough to encounter a group of ants, it will really
Unfortunately, even if you can eat a few, its internal organs have been eaten by more ants, leaving only an empty shell. Mr. Peake should understand that ants are a special group. They have a clear division of labor and unite as one.
, has a more stable social structure than human society.”
"Your Majesty is really knowledgeable, but I am not a biology major, and I have no research on ants. What Your Majesty is telling must be a fable."
"Oh, no, no, Mr. Peake, this is not a fable, it is reality. We can go and investigate on the ground. On the land near the island, we can see the corpses of old turtles scattered all over the field, while the ants next to them are walking leisurely. Unfortunately for us
It’s not ants, I can’t hear them, maybe they are singing.”
"Oh, the prince is talking about Zhuangzi. I must go and take a look when it's convenient."
"Not Zhuangzi. This group of creatures is very interesting, and you will be inspired a lot by watching it. However, you also have to try the water turtle, which is a very delicate delicacy. People here generally come from the water
Take it out of the water, fry it and eat it over the fire, they are all very delicious. However, as the days are long, you will definitely have the opportunity to eat it. You can also bring some to your friends to ensure that they will never forget it. "
"Definitely, definitely." Pique responded with a smile, thinking to himself, "This horse rider is really a ruthless person."
After hearing the whole story, Mu Tian was very happy. His resentment towards Peake was also alleviated. He felt that Wang Yidong was a very interesting person, who could slowly and slowly tell a story about drawing a sword at each other and seeing the red on the bayonet.
Tell me. Pique is also interesting. His face turns yellow, green, and white again. The muscles on his face become tight and loose. He is such a good actor. I must go to the Oriental Grand Theater one day to see him play Armand.
go.
What Pique was thinking at this time was, hum, they are all foxes of thousands of years, what are you telling me about a fairy tale?
"In what season are the water turtles that the prince just mentioned available?" Pique asked with great interest, picking up the teacup, but he didn't drink the tea, he just held it.
"It's just this season, but it will become more plump in a while." Wang Yidong said seriously, thinking to himself, little boy, are you going to fight me? You should let my son go.
"Oh, the prince said that the prey will become more plump after some time. If the reeds are all withered and yellow, and if we burn them on a fire, wouldn't it save everyone from taking them out of their hands and frying them until they are burnt?"
He looked directly into Wang Yidong's eyes and said meaningfully.
Wang Yidong suddenly burst out laughing, "This is also a fable." After he finished speaking, he suddenly suppressed his laughter, "Mr. Peake, please take care of Mu Tian's Zhou Quan in Haizidang. If you need anything, Dao Dao can
If you can't provide it online, I have a radio station here. You can send a telegram to your friends and ask them to prepare it, and I will arrange a small steamer to pick it up."
"To be honest, Your Majesty, I'm really not very good at telegraph business. I'm afraid that if I send the wrong message, I'll end up in trouble."
"Mr. Peake is too humble. But it's easy to handle."
As Wang Yidong spoke, he raised his hand three times in a row and rhythmically.
