Chapter 87: Mu Tiantao has nothing
For three days in a row, Mu Tiantao wandered around the capital.
He was not wandering around randomly, but was investigating with great purpose.
Every Secret Service stronghold has certain characteristics that can be checked.
Or close to the key government offices of the imperial court.
Or the residence is accessible in all directions, making it easy to retreat.
Or the place of residence is transportation, or a strategic location.
Although Mu Tiantao is not a graduate of the Secret Service, he still knows some common sense.
The capital may sound very big, but after excluding the palace, it is not that big.
In three days, Mu Tiantao completely measured the capital with his own feet and marked dozens of important locations on the map.
Today, Mu Tiantao left Prince Mu’s Mansion early in the morning and came to a mutton soup shop next to Xizhimen.
He came too early and the mutton soup shop was not open. He sat in the tea soup restaurant opposite the shop and drank tea soup without a sip.
My eyes never left this mutton soup restaurant for a moment.
The tea soup here is not made from tea leaves, but made from beef and flour, stir-fried and then boiled. After adding dried fruit preserves, it becomes a bowl full of aroma. tea soup.
The tea soup tastes fragrant, even better than the ones in Chang'an Dacha Market. It seems to have a little more content.
When he went out today, he didn’t bring any followers with him, and he didn’t want anyone to know that he had contact with the Lantian spy.
At three o'clock in the morning, the mutton soup shop opposite finally opened, and a boy was unloading the door panel.
As the door panel was removed, the furnishings of the mutton soup shop fell into Mu Tiantao's eyes.
That’s right, with high tables, low benches, a long wooden counter, and a half-curtain with a Chinese character for sheep written on it, this is a standard Guanzhong mutton soup restaurant.
As long as this mutton soup restaurant is a standard old Shaanxi restaurant, Mu Tiantao feels that he has found the right place.
All the people in Guanzhong are Yun Zhao's lackeys. No one knows this better than Mu Tiantao.
This is especially true for mutton soup restaurants. It is said that it was Yunzhao who improved the taste of mutton soup so that this fishy thing gradually adapted to the tastes of most people.
Especially when it comes to using a lot of spices, only Lantian people can afford it.
Whether it is a stronghold of Lantian secret agents, you will understand everything with just one taste of the mutton soup.
After the waiter removed all the door panels, Mu Tiantao was ready to get up and go to the mutton soup restaurant.
He stood for a moment, found that he had not stood up, and then quickly turned to look at the owner of the tea soup stall.
His hands quickly reached into his arms, and a familiar smell finally came from the corners of his numb mouth - heI finally understand why this guy’s tea soup tastes so good.
Took his hand out of his arms and said to the tea soup stall owner who was slowly approaching him: "Mom, are you going to use pufferfish poison on me?"
The boss supported Mu. Tian Tao's body was about to collapse and he said: "You asked for this."
Mu Tiantao fell softly into the boss's arms, his whole body paralyzed, only his eyes were still bright.
He watched as he was put into the cart pushing the big copper kettle, watched as someone covered him with the quilt that wrapped the big copper kettle, and then watched as he was pushed away in the cart. Beijing.
There is no cure for tetrodotoxin. It depends on whether the symptoms of poisoning are serious. If it is serious, you will die.
Mu Tiantao knows this very well. As a good student of Yushan Academy who has great power and can enter the national character field, Yushan Academy spares no effort in cultivating him.
He has seen this kind of toxin before, and even saw how his seniors in the medical school extracted the toxin from pufferfish liver and fish roe.
One of the very perverted senior sisters once pointed to the purified toxin and said to the group of newcomers - this is the freshest thing in the world!
Mu Tiantao was noncommittal about this. He just didn’t expect that one day he would personally taste this freshest taste in the world.
From leaving the city to entering a small farm, Mu Tiantao could finally move around above his neck.
Two people dressed as farmers took Mu Tiantao out of the car, and one of them said to his partner: "That's good, I didn't wet my pants."
The other farmer said to his friend Mu Tiantao glared at him and said: "If it weren't for the fact that he took the wrong path, you and I would call him a big shot when we see him."
" I heard that he was bewitched by the emperor’s daughter?”
“Yes or no, the emperor’s daughter only looks like that. What kind of beauty does a student like him want?” His family background does not allow him to stay in our Lantian."
"So, this person is a traitor? If he is a traitor, he should be poisoned."
Another farmer laughed. : "Is he a traitor? Your Majesty needs to talk to the academy. Since neither the academy nor your majesty has conveyed the news that this person is a traitor, then he is not a traitor."
"Then what did he want from us? And so easily? Just find our hometown."
"How can I say that he is a talented person in the academy? If he doesn't even have this ability, how can he be so valued by His Majesty?"
Mu Tian. Tao moved his tongue a few times and found that his tongue could help him speak, so he said irritably: "Take me to see the boss."
The farmer put him on a recliner and said with a smile: "You went all the way from Chang'an to the capital by yourself, killing bandits, evildoers, and officials all the way. You had a great time killing. You looked like you were invincible. What are you doing with our boss now?"
Mu Tiantao said: "Do business."
The farmer smiled and said: "For business, you should go to the Commercial Department, not our Secret Service Department."
Mu Tiantao gritted his teeth and said: "Are you really prepared to watch the people in this city suffer?"
The farmer said: "Of course I can't bear it, but what can we do? The emperor can't He is willing to surrender, but he is not willing to kneel down and beg our Majesty, and he regards our Majesty as a traitor, let alone begging your Majesty to help him clean up his mess.
Why should we bother you?
Wouldn’t it be better for us to come over to help the people after the Emperor and Li Hongji have been beaten to a bloody head?
In this way, the people will be grateful to us and will honestly be His Majesty’s subjects? , now that we are helping, maybe the emperor will stab us from behind, and maybe he will join forces with Li Hongji to kill us. Wouldn’t it be too unfair to die like this?
Boy, the emperor is finished.
If you want a princess, our brothers can help you get the princess away because you are a member of the academy. You can find an inaccessible place to have children and live happily for the rest of your life. Not bad.
This is the only thing I can do for you as a brother."
"No, Prince Mu and Ming Dynasty will retire together. Ten years of kindness must be repaid. If even Prince Mu's family abandons Ming Dynasty, there will be no justice in this world."
The farmer groped in Mu Tiantao's arms for a while and took it out. He placed a grenade on the table, took out six iron spikes from his boots, and finally took out a thin blade from his collar, placed it on the table and said, "Your hands and feet will be able to move soon. Don't resist, we won't show mercy if you resist, and everything will come at you."
Mu Tiantao said loudly: "I won't resist, I'm just here to do business."
The farmer sighed and said: "The Secret Service only does business without capital. The capital is now full of people who do business without capital. You can go find them. I heard that Luo Yangxing has also started to take on this kind of business recently. , They are experienced and their work is cleaner than ours."
"I want to buy the equipment you have sealed."
Mu Tiantao looked somewhat sad and angry.
The farmer said: "Since you know that there is such a batch of equipment, then you should know that these things are the most important weapons of the country. What is the crime of selling the most important weapons of the country? I think, even if they are ours Neither Boss Han nor Boss Qian can afford it."
Mu Tiantao sat up slowly, spread his hands and said: "I don't think about anything else, I just want to die in this capital. , the Ming Dynasty will perish, I know this better than anyone else.
The Ming Dynasty can perish, but it cannot be buried without filial sons and grandsons!
I am here to be buried. To make the funeral of the Ming Dynasty less ugly, at least let the world know that the world is fair after all.
Academy is not the most fair place.place?
Back then, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty rescued the Chinese people from the iron heel of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, freed everyone from foreign enslavement, and restored the orthodoxy of the Han people. You must return this favor!
Give me weapons, give me equipment, I will fight, I will die, you cannot be without conscience!
The farmer was silent for a moment and said to Mu Tiantao, who was crying with tears on his face: "Give me three days, and I will help you pass the fold. If it doesn't work, it won't be our brother's business." .
Mu Tiantao said with red eyes: "Actually, it doesn't matter. I have equipment and weapons. I can do better. Even without weapons, I, Mu Tiantao, can do it alone." Just charge the enemy until they die. "
The farmer looked at the other farmer. The guy took out a huge backpack from the food cabinet and put it next to Mu Tiantao and said, "This is some money our brothers have saved." Good stuff...forget it, here you go.
In addition, you have been targeted, so be careful when you go back. "
Mu Tiantao stood up, stretched his sore legs and said, "Give me some pufferfish poison too. "
The farmer chuckled and said: "You want to kill the emperor? No problem, no problem. "
As he spoke, he took out an inch-long glass bottle from his arms and handed it to Mu Tiantao. One of the farmers smiled and said: "One drop, one drop is enough. The emperor cannot die any more. "
Mu Tiantao took the bottle and said: "How much have I eaten? "
The farmer smiled and said: "Dip it with a toothpick and stir it into your tea soup. "
Mu Tiantao nodded, lifted the backpack on the ground and said: "Give me a horse. "
The farmer said angrily: "Why do you want everything? "
Mu Tiantao twisted his neck and said: "Because I have nothing! ”
