To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 305 Message

  In the evening, before Lin Teng left the yamen, Luo Sheng came to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment with a food box.

  The gatekeeper recognized Luo Sheng at a glance.

   "Aren't you the little girl who came here at noon?"

  Luo Sheng smiled: "It's me."

  The yamen servant looked down and was taken aback: Looking at such a delicate little girl, she has so much strength that she even carried a food box in one hand.

   "Are you delivering food to our Master Shangshu again?"

   "Yeah, I hope big brother can help you." Luo Sheng said as he put down one of the food boxes, and freed his hand to take out an oiled paper bag from the cloth bag hanging on his waist.

"This is-"

  The girl was full of smiles: "I steamed a few meat buns. If you haven't eaten yet, you can try it if you don't mind."

   "I haven't eaten yet..." The yamen servant frowned and took the oiled paper bag, thinking that the little girl was so ignorant that she sent him off with a few steamed buns.

   At least put some money in.

   "Miss Luo—" Lin Teng walked out.

  Luo Sheng hurriedly picked up the food box to meet him, and asked generously, "Is Mr. Lin waiting for me?"

   "Cough cough!" Lin Teng choked, his face flushed from coughing, and it took him a while to recover his cold expression, "I'm about to go down."

   "Then I'm lucky."

  The corner of Lin Teng's mouth twitched, and a servant was summoned: "Lead Miss Luo to the dungeon."

  He didn't want Miss Luo to misunderstand her.

  Luo Sheng smiled disapprovingly, and followed the yamen servant.

  Lin Teng walked out with a serious face.

  The gatekeeper opened the oiled paper bag, and the meat buns inside were still warm.

  Soft, white and fat, it looks pretty good.

  The gatekeeper took a bite, and his eyes straightened immediately.

   Too, so fragrant!

  The skin is thin, the filling is big, and the soup is delicious. It is a fairy-like day to eat such a hot meat bun in such a cold day.

   "What are you eating?" Lin Teng stopped beside the gatekeeper.

  The gatekeeper's mouth was full, and he said vaguely, "Meat buns."

   "Is it fragrant?"

"fragrant!"

  A big hand reached out, and took away the oiled paper bag and the meat buns.

   "My lord!" The gatekeeper screamed.

   "I'll try it." Lin Teng left the Yamen quickly.

  The gatekeeper was holding on to the door frame with a sad expression on his face.

  This can't be the upright and serious Master Lin!

   There are still three meat buns, all-take-away!

  The yamen servant who led the way quietly glanced at the food box in the girl's hand.

   There were originally two of them, but one of them was taken away by Lord Shang Shu who came out of the room after hearing the news, without asking his subordinates to help.

   Definitely delicious.

  The yamen servant who led the way swallowed secretly.

  Luo Sheng took out another oiled paper bag from the cloth bag: "Brother, try the meat buns I brought."

  The leading yamen guard reservedly put the oiled paper bag into his bosom.

   It didn't take long to reach the entrance of the dungeon.

  The jailer got the order and didn't make things difficult, and said with a smile, "Miss Luo just hand over the food box to me."

   "Thank you. Please tell my father, don't eat too fast. Chewing slowly is good for your health." Luo Sheng slipped a dime into the hands of the jailer.

  The jailer held the silver in his hand and smiled sincerely: "No problem, Miss Luo, just wait."

  The jailer walked in and came to the place where the Governor Luo was being held, and shouted: "Lord Luo, your daughter has brought you food."

  Sitting on the ground watching the mice fight, Governor Luo suddenly got up and rushed to the fence: "Where is she?"

The jailer smiled: "Lord Luo, don't embarrass the villain. This is the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. How can I come to visit twice a day. Miss Luo is waiting outside. You take out the food, and the villain takes the food box out and gives it to her. It's a confession."

  Hey, when Miss Luo comes to deliver the meal tomorrow, I can get another ingot of silver.

  Governor Luo took the food box from the open window, took out the dishes one by one, and handed the food box out.

  The jailer took the empty food box, smelled the unbelievable fragrance in the air and remembered: "Miss Luo asked the younger one to tell Lord Luo not to eat too fast or too fast, chewing slowly is good for your health."

   "What else did she say?" Governor Luo asked calmly as his heart moved.

   "Nothing else to say." There was a hint of impatience in the jailer's tone.

   All because of colluding with the rebels, they were locked up here. Governor Luo is cold. If you have food, if you don’t hurry up, you may not be able to eat it in the future.

   That is to say, it was Mr. Lin who brought Miss Luo here at noon, and for the sake of money, he gave a face to call Mrs. Luo.

   "Then trouble you to bring her the food box, let her go back quickly."

  Luo Dadu watched the jailer leave with the food box, as if he saw his beloved daughter waiting outside pitifully through the food box.

   When I came back to my senses, I found that the fighting mice were squeaking anxiously around the dishes.

  The big hand like a cattail fan slapped the most impatient fat mouse away.

  Open the drawer, and inside are six meat buns arranged in a plum blossom shape.

  In other dishes and bowls are side dishes and soup.

  Governor Luo wiped his hands on his clothes, grabbed the meat bun in the middle and put it in his mouth.

  When the steamed meat bun reached his mouth, he couldn't help but think of what the jailer had said. He wanted to eat half of it in one bite, but in the end he only took a small bite.

   Immediately, the mouth is full of oil, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant.

  Governor Luo took another bite, and suddenly frowned.

  He turned his head to face the wall calmly, and spat out the hard object hidden inside the meat bun.

  The hard object in the palm of the hand is a small bone fragment, and a word is lightly engraved on the bone fragment: Wait.

   Governor Luo looked over the bone fragment repeatedly, confirmed that there were no other words, put the bone fragment in his mouth and chewed it, and spat out the last bite of bone residue on the ground.

  The mice, who couldn't wait for a long time, quickly surrounded them.

  Luo Dadu was eating meat buns, pondering the words on the bone.

  Sheng'er only came here at noon, so it's unlikely that something happened outside because of such a word.

  Sheng'er's purpose...should be to remind him to pay attention, and he will use this to convey some news in the future.

   It's hard for the kid to think of such a way.

  Luo Dadu shook his head, feeling sad.

  Luo Sheng walked to the gate of the yamen with the empty food box sent back by the jailer.

  The gatekeeper with dull eyes stood up abruptly: "Little girl is leaving now?"

  Luo Sheng nodded slightly.

   "Will you come to deliver food tomorrow?"

  Luo Sheng smiled slightly: "Come again."

  The gatekeeper's eyes lit up immediately.

   Thank God, still come!

  After a few days like this, whether it is the gatekeeper, the guide, or the jailer, they start to look forward to it when it is almost time to go down.

   And Luo Sheng finally got new news after a few days.

   "I just received a letter from Fei Ge. The people I stayed in the south found out the reason why the guards of the Zhennan Palace confessed that the governor released the youngest son of the Zhennan Prince."

  Luo Sheng squeezed his fingertips while holding the teacup, and asked, "What's the reason?"

  She was not too surprised that Wei Han's people found out the inside story so quickly.

  Meeting Kaiyang King in the abandoned house of Zhennan Prince's Mansion, it means that he is not without arrangements there.

  Perhaps, King Kaiyang's understanding of the old case of Zhennan Palace is much deeper than she imagined.
