Soon, Li Wei finished the bowl of shredded chicken in front of him, and didn't leave it for Xue Ying at all.Xue Ying was depressed in her heart, but she heard Li Wei say in a deep voice: "This case is almost investigated, I will announce the results in the government office tomorrow, and I will ask you to help at that time." ”Xue Yingda was interested: "How can I help?"
”Li Wei smiled faintly and said, "I'll tell you about it tomorrow morning." ”Until now, he is still selling to himself, is this also an occupational disease?
Xue Ying couldn't help but glance at him, but heard Li Wei say solemnly: "In the future, I will investigate the case, don't go with you, it's too dangerous, some bandits are crazy, and they can do anything." ”The author has something to say: Summer is the season to eat cold noodles.Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2020-06-2616:36:41~2020-06-2717:20:48 ~ Thank you to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: Fang Ye 6 bottles; 1 bottle of white jade delicate roll; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 46 According to Li Wei's instructions, early the next morning, the officials invited Zhang Pinyan, Zhou Lin and Master Huiyuan to the mansion.Liu Jingnian didn't know where he heard the rumors, and knew that the sensational puffer fish case in Beijing would have a result today, so he also came to join in the fun.Liu Jingnian saw Li Wei's warning eyes, and hurriedly coughed and said, "Zijing, don't worry, I'm just watching from the sidelines, and I will never say a word." ”As he spoke, he came to the chair on the east side with Xue Ying and sat down.Zhang Pinyan, Zhou Lin and Master Huiyuan came to the yahall, and Master Huiyuan looked the most uneasy.Zhang Pinyan frowned and asked, "Mr.
Li specially invited us to come to the government today, is there a result in the puffer fish case?"
”Li Wei sat on the Taishi chair at the top, slowly drank the tea in the teacup, stared at Zhang Pinyan with his face up, and then said slowly: "Zhang Chengzhi is right, Governor Wu was not killed by mistake, but someone deliberately murdered him. ”"Oh."
Zhang Pinyan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then who does Master Li think is the real murderer?"
”Li Wei's cold gaze swept over to the three people present in turn, and seeing Master Huiyuan's panicked expression, Zhou Lin's forehead was already in a cold sweat, and he raised his voice with a sneer: "The three of you are all murderers of Governor Wu. ”As soon as the words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.Zhang Pinyan raised his voice and said: "I have no grievances with Governor Wu, I was kidnapped by bandits just a few days ago, and I am a victim myself, how can I kill Governor Wu?"
”Li Wei glanced at Zhang Pinyan and said with a faint smile: "This also starts with a letter from Huanqing Road to appease Si Cheng to the imperial court in March this year. ”As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three people present changed, especially Zhang Pinyan, whose hamstrings felt a little soft.Li Wei said in a deep voice: "Li Yuanqing is the emperor and is preparing to mobilize troops and horses to invade the border. ”Zhang Pinyan's face was immediately ashen, and he was speechless for a while, but he saw that Li Wei raised his voice and said: "Concealing the military situation, delaying the opportunity to garrison, resulting in the loss of Gyeongju and the death of thousands of soldiers. ”Zhang Pinyan was really anxious at this time, stepped forward and grabbed Li Wei's sleeve and said: "I don't dare to deny these charges that Bachelor Li said, but how can I have such courage alone, it's really because ......"
"You shut up." ”Levi then interrupted him: "Of course you don't have the guts. ”He raised his eyes to look at Master Huiyuan and said, "Presumably, this Buddhist disciple has also given you a lot of benefits." ”Master Huiyuan is old and timid, and when he saw Li Wei's cold gaze, he fainted on the spot.Li Wei sneered and instructed the officials on the side: "Carry him out, find a doctor to see, don't get in the way here." ”Li Wei continued: "Judging from the evidence we have so far, Jingren Temple near Yimen Mountain is the base of Xia Ying's investigation of news in Beijing.Master Huiyuan and the other high-ranking monks were all from the Xia Kingdom, and they stored a large amount of silver, food, and weapons in the secret room.Just waited for the chaos of Qinfeng and Huanqing Road in Shaanxi, and the Xia army conquered Tongguan, so they joined forces with it inside and outside and took the lead in making chaos in Beijing.And Zhang Chengzhi accepted bribes from Master Huiyuan, suppressed Wang Dening's secret folds, and deliberately concealed it for the rebel party, which is not only as simple as dereliction of duty. ”As soon as Li Wei finished saying this, Zhang Pinyan hurriedly said: "Bachelor Li said that I accepted a bribe from Master Huiyuan and suppressed Wang Dening's secret fold, I admit this crime, but I don't know that they plan to do this rebellious thing, if I know, I will definitely report to the court in advance." ”Li Wei sneered: "Zhang Chengzhi naturally doesn't have the courage to rebel, but you already know the detailed location of the secret room in advance, but you are afraid that someone will retaliate, so you deliberately conceal it and do not report it, which is a capital crime." ”Zhang Pinyan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down: "Didn't I already tell Bachelor Li, the robbers blindfolded me all the way, and after coming to the secret room, I was knocked out after only a few words, how can I know the specific location?"
”Li Wei said coldly: "You came to the government to tell you about your experience of being kidnapped, and you thought that your statement was seamless, but in fact, it was a snake to add to it. ”"Remember the day I asked you, what path did the robbers take when they pushed you down the mountain?
You replied that you had fallen and were walking on a stone path.That's not right at all.I went up the mountain at about the same time as you that day, and the stone road up the mountain had to pass over a wooden bridge, which was completely decayed and could not pass at all!
”At this point, Zhang Pinyan had completely collapsed to the ground and couldn't say a word anymore."
So I predict that there is only one possibility, and that is that after you were pushed down the secret room by the robbers, you came directly out of the main hall of Gyeonginji Temple on the other side.The robbers have no intention of hiding the location of the secret room from you.Because they have already figured out your temperament, it is expected that as long as you threaten you at all, you will never have the courage to tell the court.What's more, if they can successfully drag you into the water, they will have more control in their hands, and it will be more convenient for them to act in the future. ”"You and I both know what happened later, in order to confuse the public and clear your suspicion of murder, you deliberately came to me to tell me about the experience of being kidnapped.Speaking of this, Liu Jingnian, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but interject: "I didn't expect that this case would be implicated in such a big conspiracy, but is it just that the murder of Governor Wu is related to the rebellion of Jingren Temple?"
”Zhou Lin had been worried for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it at this time: "Bachelor Li just said so much, and he didn't know about it, so how can he think that he was also the murderer of Governor Wu?"
”Li Wei glared at Liu Jingnian, and then glanced at Xue Ying, who was sitting on the side.Xue Ying was not stage frightened, cleared her throat and said, "As far as I know, the cook lady in Zhou Chengzhi's mansion used to be the chef in Qingfeng Building in the west of the city. ”Zhou Lin was stunned for a moment and said: "It's just a cook, I will inquire about her details so clearly!"
”Xue Ying smiled and said, "Zhou Chengzhi doesn't deny it.As far as I know, there are very few chefs in Bianjing who are skilled in handling puffer fish, and even fewer can strictly control the amount of poison and ensure that no one lives. ”As soon as Xue Ying said this, Zhou Lin immediately changed color: "I don't understand what you mean. ”Xue Ying smiled coldly and said, "The chef of your mansion is named Liu Mu, and she has been the head chef in Qingfeng Building for five years.At the beginning, Qingfeng Lou had a famous dish, which was only served to particularly familiar customers, that is, raw cut puffer fish liver.Each person only provides a piece the size of a fingernail, the taste is unusually delicious and plump, but it is slightly poisonous, the tongue and fingertips will be slightly numb after eating, and in severe cases, there will be vomiting, despite this, because of the amazing taste of puffer fish liver, there are still people who are willing to try it, and the only one in Bianjing City who will make this dish without missing a business trip is Liu Mu Liu Niangzi. ”At this time, Zhou Lin's face was completely defeated, his legs trembled and he couldn't say a word.But I heard Xue Ying continue: "I don't need to say anything about the rest of the matter, everyone should be clear.When Zhang Chengzhi and Zhou Chengzhi were feasting in the small shop, they took advantage of the opportunity to go out to the toilet and secretly took a small amount of puffer fish liver prepared by Liu Niangzi in advance, which may be a little larger than that of ordinary glutton, so the series of poisoning reactions after going back were very natural.As for Governor Wu, you put a specially prepared tetrodotoxin into his wine glass, and the amount is enough to kill people. ”Xue Ying's words stunned everyone present, and after a moment of silence, it was Liu Jingnian who opened his mouth first: "Then why did they kill Governor Wu." ”He frowned slightly and suddenly said: "Yes, it must be Governor Wu who knows that Zhang Chengzhi and Zhou Chengzhi specially pressed down the folds handed by Wang Dening, and also knows that they accepted bribes, and the two of them want to kill people and kill people." ”Li Wei expressed his rare appreciation for Liu Jingnian's words: "You are right.Governor Wu was an upright person, and after knowing the bad deeds of Zhang Chengzhi and Zhou Chengzhi, not only did he not accept the bribes of the two of them, but also planned to expose their crimes to the imperial court, so the two couldn't wait to come up with this method and wanted to kill him quietly. ”At this point, Zhang Pinyan and Zhou Lin could no longer find words to refute, the sensational puffer fish case in the capital finally found the real culprit, and everyone present cast admiring glances at Li Wei, but Xue Ying carefully observed his expression, but he did not solve the important case at all, but he was not at all relaxed.When the idle people and others dispersed, and only Li Wei, Liu Jingnian and Xue Ying were left in the yahall, Xue Ying couldn't help but ask: "Although Zhang Chengzhi and Zhou Chengzhi are undoubtedly the murderers of Governor Wu, I always feel that there are people behind this case."
If you think about it, Zhang Chengzhi and Zhou Chengzhi are just petty officials after all, even if someone tempts them with heavy profits, if there is no one behind them to instruct them, I am afraid that they will not dare to suppress this important military situation.There is also Jingren Temple, you also saw the situation of Master Yuanhui just now, with his courage, I am afraid that he cannot afford to be the mastermind of this rebellion. ”Liu Jingnian casually echoed: "Xue Niangzi's words are very true, I think ......"
Before Liu Jingnian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Wei: "Let's go to dinner first, and after eating, I will take you to meet the real mastermind behind it." ”When it came to eating, Liu Jingnian and Xue Ying realized that they were really a little hungry, and Xue Ying smiled: "I know that there is a noodle shop nearby that makes eel noodles and liver waist noodles that taste very good, so let's go there for lunch." ”Liu Jingnian immediately echoed: "Xue Niangzi is good at eating, listen to you, let's go." ”Li Wei glared at Liu Jingnian on the side, ignored him, raised his feet and went out.The author has something to say: Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2020-06-2717:20:48~2020-06-2811:41:46 ~ Thank you to the little angel who threw the grenade: Fairy you are so powerful, Xiyun 1; Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: sold the girl 10 small matches; 3 bottles of Atent; Fang also 2 bottles; The phoenix flower blooms again, listening to the wind 1 bottle; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 47 Xue Ying led the two to Granny Cao's noodle shop near the mansion, she met the owner Granny Cao, and Granny Cao greeted her in person, and said with a smile: "Mrs.
Xue hasn't been to the shop for more than half a year, I haven't said hello to you yet, now that the real culprit of the puffer fish case has been caught, Shen Niangzi has finally cleared the suspicion of accidental injury, and it seems that the Xue family's soup shop will be able to reopen soon." ”Liu Jingnian couldn't help but ask in surprise: "The result of this case only came out in the morning, how did you know it so quickly?"
”Granny Cao glanced at Liu Jingnian and said with a smile: "I have a relative who works on an errand in the mansion, and he told me when he came to eat just now."
If you want me to say, thanks to Master Li's discernment, the real murderer appeared as the prototype and cleared the grievances of the good people.With such parents in the capital, we merchants can do business with confidence. ”Xue Ying couldn't help but smile and glanced at Li Wei when she heard this, but seeing that he was still the same facial paralysis, she couldn't help pouting, and led the two to choose a quiet seat and sit down.Granny Cao smiled and asked, "Is Lady Xue still the same today?"
”Xue Ying smiled: "Yes, bring me a bowl of liver waist knife noodles." ”The noodles ordered by Xue Ying must be the most delicious, and Liu Jingnian decided to follow: "I'm the same as Xue Niangzi." ”"Okay."
Granny Cao responded casually, and when she saw that Li Wei had been silent, she asked with a smile, "What kind of noodles does this guest officer want to eat?"
The specialty of this restaurant is knife dial noodles, three fresh, shredded chicken, shredded eel, fried chicken, vegetarian bones, blood and various toppings. ”"Then let's have an eel knife to dial the noodles."
Levi said casually.Xue Ying likes to watch Granny Cao make noodles on the spot, she came to the back kitchen as usual, and when she saw that Granny Cao had already reconciled the noodles, she picked up the special long knife, held one end in each hand, and pulled out the triangular noodles forward with a knife.Granny Cao's movements were extremely quick, and the speed of dialing the noodles was as fast as lightning, and within a moment, the dough in front of her was finished, and the noodles were spread out root by root, very neat, and the thickness was the same.Xue Ying praised with a smile: "Granny Cao's kung fu can be called a must-have in the capital, but it's a pity that I'm clumsy and can't learn it anyway." ”Granny Cao glanced at Xue Ying and said with a smile: "If Xue Niangzi is clumsy, there will be no smart people in this capital."
If you learn this craft, will there still be a place for me?
”While the two were laughing, the noodles were already cooked, and Granny Cao took out the noodles and poured them on top of her own special cabbage soup.Next, Granny Cao began to stir-fry the toppings.Liver waist noodles, as the name suggests, the main ingredient is pork liver and pork loin, Granny Cao slices the pork liver thinner, the pork loin is cut into vertical and horizontal patterns, and the thin hook is a little thicker, and the tender leeks, mung bean sprouts together under the oil pot to stir-fry, add pepper and minced garlic to enhance the flavor when out of the pot, the small kitchen is suddenly full of fragrance.As for the eel noodles, Granny Cao specially selected the fattest and tender section of the fresh eel to cut into shreds, and fried in the oil pan with the shredded green onions, the heat of this dish is very important, Granny Cao doesn't look at the appearance of thinness, but the arm strength is very amazing, the huge wok, she constantly rotates and tosses, the fire is stirred, urgent and fierce, and within a moment, the eel is fried.Granny Cao quickly sprinkled the fried toppings on the noodle soup, and told Xue Ying with a smile: "Liver and waist noodles should be eaten while they are hot, they will be fishy when they are cold." ”As soon as the liver waist noodles were put on the table, Liu Jingnian was calmed, and the fried liver and waist were oily and translucent, with green leeks and white bean sprouts, all of which seduced his appetite.Liu Jingnian first sandwiched the pork liver and pork loin to taste, the pork liver and pork loin have just been broken, the heat is just right, the pork liver slices are pink on the outside and tender on the inside, and the waist flower is fried with beautiful small rolls, and it is a charming offal fragrance when you bite into it.He sandwiched a chopstick bean sprouts, and also carried the high-temperature fire of the pot gas, because the frying time is short, it maintains sufficient moisture, and it tastes very crisp and tender.Liu Jingnian couldn't help but praise: "The freshly fried toppings in this shop are really good." ”Xue Ying smiled: "The noodles here are also a must." ”Liu Jingnian sandwiched a noodle and put it in his mouth, because it was knife-pulled, the taste was extremely chewy, full of the aroma of wheat itself, and with the heavy toppings, it was just right salty.The best thing is that the bowl of noodle soup with snow cabbage is salty and refreshing, and it is entangled with the noodles, which adds a bit of deliciousness.Levi's bowl of eel noodles also looks very attractive, the eel is fat, the meat is fresh, it looks like freshly killed eel, and the strips are still hung with bright sauce, because of the addition of pepper and minced garlic to enhance the flavor, it is delicious and spicy, which is a perfect match with the slightly light noodles.It didn't take long for the noodles in the three-person bowl to see the bottom.Because of the hot weather, fine sweat was already breaking out on Xue Ying's forehead, and her complexion became more and more radiant like jade.Levi has always eaten quickly, he put down the bowl and looked at Xue Ying for a while, and reminded loudly: "You have sauce on your face." ”As he spoke, he pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over.Xue Ying was stunned for a moment and took the handkerchief, it smelled clean soap, she was a little embarrassed, Li Wei is really paying attention to her appearance.She hurriedly thanked in a low voice, wiped the handkerchief and returned it to Levi, but Levi took it and said lightly: "You still have it on your chin." ”Xue Ying was embarrassed again, and hurriedly wiped her chin carefully.Liu Jingnian was stunned on the side, and handed his handkerchief to others to wipe his face, this is obviously not Li Wei's usual style, the situation of the two of them seems to be a little wrong.Xue Ying wiped his face and returned the handkerchief to Li Wei again, but who knew that he still didn't answer, turned his head to Liu Jingnian and said, "Let's leave when you're full, didn't you say that you want to visit the real mastermind of this case with me?"
”After saying that, he got up and walked out.Xue Ying suddenly forgot about returning the handkerchief, kicked the handkerchief into her sleeve casually, and hurried up and said, "You wait for me." ”Li Wei led the way in front, and Liu Jingnian and Xue Ying followed behind, but they found that this road became more and more familiar.When the two of them walked to Xiurende Fang near Mahang Street and turned into a small alley, Liu Jingnian couldn't help it, and stopped Li Weidao: "Wait a minute, where are we going?"
”Li Wei smiled faintly and said, "You should see it, it's going to Master Fang's mansion." ”This time, not only Liu Jingnian couldn't hold his breath, but even Xue Ying lost his voice: "Is Master Fang the mastermind of this case?"
It shouldn't be. ”At this time, Zhang Quan, the official of Kaifeng Mansion, was also waiting in front of the Fang Mansion, this person was very skilled in martial arts, and had served as the head of the Sanya Forbidden Army, and for the sake of insurance, Li Wei specially called him over.The gatekeeper of Fangfu knew Li Wei and Liu Jingnian, and quickly led them to the front hall.Not long after, Fang Zhengyan came, he glanced at Li Wei and Zhang Quan, and said with a smile: "I didn't post, why are there so many people today?"
”Li Wei stared at Fang Zhengyan for a moment, and said coldly: "Zicheng, you and I have been friends for many years, so you don't have to sell Guanzi here, why we are here today, I guess Zicheng knows better than me." ”Fang Zhengyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, I've always liked Zijing's straightforward temperament."
Today we are both honest with each other, and I am very curious now, where did Zijing see the horse's feet?
”Li Wei smiled faintly and said, "It's the letterhead I found in the Wu Mansion." ”Fang Zhengyan said in a deep voice: "That letterhead is not my handwriting. ”"This is natural, with Zicheng's strategy, he will never leave a handwriting to give people a handle.What's more, the handwriting on this paper is very dull and uncharacteristic, I think someone did it on purpose, even if I wanted to check, I couldn't find out who wrote it. ”Fang Zhengyan asked coldly, "Then how do you speculate that this letterhead is related to me?"
”Levi suddenly smiled: "It's the smell on the letterhead."
I remember that Zicheng is the best at making incense.In the book "Incense Spectrum" recorded an ancient recipe, called the second degree of plum blossom, is to go to the plum blossom, arborvitae dry product to beat fine powder, and agarwood, rosin, Suhexiang and Baiqi thick juice mixed together, the preparation of this incense is very complicated, this full of scholars in the capital, I am afraid that only you will do. ”Fang Zhengyan's face changed slightly, and he finally smiled: "It seems that Zijing knows me very well."
Now that I am in your hands, I am willing. ”As soon as Li Wei's voice fell, Liu Jingnian lost his voice and said: "Zijing, you and I, and Zijing are all Jinshi in the third year of Jiazheng, and the young man has a smooth career, what do you have to think about getting involved with the people of Xia Guo and doing such a rebellious thing." ”Fang Zhengyan suddenly changed color and said: "Young Dengke, a smooth career is just a joke for me, since the second year of Qingfeng, I am no longer the Fangzi City that was proud of the spring breeze back then." ”Li Wei cast a compassionate gaze at Fang Zhengyan: "I remember that Ling Zun died in the third year of Qingfeng?"
”The first emperor and Liu Zi'an created a new law, Fang Zhengyan's father Fang was indeed a capable general, and later the first emperor died young, the empress dowager hung the curtain, Su Yi was in power, the new law was abolished, the new party was degraded, and Fang was indeed demoted to Anzhou as the prefect.Fang Cheng inevitably has resentment in his heart, when visiting the famous Cuiwei Pavilion in Anzhou, he once wrote a poem to allude to the government, and the poem said: Hao Yongshan, a famous minister, is loyal and straightforward.Diaoyutai Wu didn't know where, sighing Sigong overlooking Biwan.This poem was transmitted to the capital, and Su Yi immediately said to the Empress Dowager: Fang Cheng is quoting Hao Chujun's advice to Gaozong in the first year of the Tang Dynasty to allude to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager was furious when she heard this, and immediately exiled Fang Qu to Lingnan Xinzhou, where he soon died depressed.This is the "Cuiwei Pavilion Poetry Case" that caused a sensation in the government and the opposition at that time, which happened in the third year of Qingfeng.Li Wei and Liu Jingnian have also heard about this matter, but they have never heard Fang Zhengyan mention it.Liu Jingnian frowned and said: "This case was originally Su Yi's chasing after the wind and shadows, and he handled it too much, and what happened to Ling Zun is indeed embarrassing.But as a subordinate, how can you have a grudge against the court and form a party with the Xia people to do such a rebellious thing?
”Fang Zhengyan suddenly raised his voice: "Why can't you be resentful?
Do you know how desolate my father was when he died?
Do you know that my mother died of depression shortly after my father's death?
I escorted my parents' coffins all the way back to my hometown in Luoyang.The Fang family's property was confiscated, and I was just a secretary at the time, and I couldn't even get the final funeral expenses.borrowed money from relatives and friends, but they all avoided it, and when they were desperate, it was Master Lingyuan, the second abbot of Jingren Temple, who contributed to help, and the father and mother of the family had to settle down.He is my reincarnation benefactor, and I will naturally obey whatever he tells me to do. ”"It's been six years and I've never regretted what I've done.There is only one point, whenever I force myself to grovel in front of Su Yi's old horseman, I despise myself abnormally.He is my father's killer, and I can't wait to eat his flesh. ”Li Wei's expression of sadness and joy was indistinguishable, and he said in a half-loud voice: "Zicheng, no matter what, this is the state of your parents, and you colluded with the Xia bandits, not only to rebel, but also to commit treason."
Fang is loyal and upright, if he is still alive, he will not approve of you doing this. ”"What's more, Governor Wu is an innocent person, in order to achieve his goal, Zicheng actually designed to murder him, and when there is no one in the middle of the night, you reflect on yourself, won't your conscience hurt?"
Fang Zhengyan suddenly laughed: "Zijing actually talked to me about conscience!"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
My father was killed by Su Yi and died innocently, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court were silent, where is their conscience?
”Li Wei sighed in his heart, and finally said coldly to Zhang Quan on the side: "Take him down for me." ”Who knew that Fang Zhengyan slapped his hands hard, and five or six dead soldiers suddenly poured in outside the door, Fang Zhengyan sneered: "Zijing, you are smart, but after all, you missed a move, since I have the courage to rebel, naturally I will not sit still." ”The author has something to say: I am a noodle controller, and I not only love the taste of Shanxi knife-cut noodles and knife-plucked gluten, but also love the rich toppings of noodles in Suzhou and Hangzhou.So I mixed the two together and wrote it, patted it.When did the knife dial noodles originate, it remains to be verified, so I will use it here first, hehe.Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2020-06-2811:41:46~2020-06-2919:08:13 ~ Thank you to the little angel who voted for the mine: 1 up every day; Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 15 bottles of lotus podium; 256543405 bottles; Fang also 2 bottles; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 48 Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Quan decided to strike first, and took out the sword of the □□ and stabbed at the strong man led by him, and those people also hurriedly drew their swords to deal with it, and the front hall was in chaos for a while.Those five or six strong men were all dead soldiers raised by Fang Zhengyan, although Zhang Quan was strong in martial arts, he was outnumbered after all, and gradually fell behind.The strong man at the head seized on one of Zhang Quan's omissions and took the opportunity to subdue him to the ground.Li Wei and Liu Jingnian are both scholars, and they don't know martial arts at all, let alone Xue Ying, Fang Zhengyan sneered and ordered: "Escort them to the West Wing, send someone to guard them strictly, and don't let them escape." ”Li Wei raised his voice and said, "Zicheng, I advise you not to be obsessed, it's too late to regret it now." ”Fang Zhengyan's eyes darkened, and he finally said coldly: "Since I chose this path, I have never thought of turning back, and I will bear all the consequences."
Zijing is still worried about his current safety. ”Li Wei and the others were pushed and shoved by the dead men into the west wing.I think it's been a long time since it's been cleaned, and there's a thin layer of dust on the floor, and the furnishings are extremely simple, with a simple wooden bed on the south, and two chairs.As soon as Liu Jingnian entered, he sighed: "If I knew this, I shouldn't have been so curious, and I would have followed you to join in the fun."
It's good now, I want to take my own life, but what do you say?
”He complained to Li Wei again: "Zijing is too, knowing that this is the Longtan Tiger's Den, you should bring more people." ”Levi turned his head to look out the window, apparently there was someone on duty, he silently pulled out his handkerchief to wipe the chair clean, sat down without saying a word, and at this time it was getting dark.In the front hall of the Fang Mansion, Fang Zhengyan instructed the housekeeper: "Since Li Wei has found that Jingren Temple is inappropriate, he will report to the imperial court in time, our original plan seems to be unworkable, inform them to do it in advance." ”The housekeeper hurriedly agreed, and asked Fang Zhengyan again: "What does Ah Lang plan to do with the people who are locked up in the west wing?"
”Fang Zhengyan was stunned for a moment and said: "For the time being, tea and food cannot be missing, don't treat them badly." ”The housekeeper wondered, "Why is Ah Lang too polite to them, is it because he misses the old feelings?"
”Fang Zhengyan's fierce gaze swept over: "You have followed me for many years, you should know my rules, don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
Tell those subordinates to be honest, and be especially polite to Xue Niangzi. ”The housekeeper was so worried that he had to agree.In Liu Jingnian's continuous complaints, their dinner was served, naturally it would not be a delicacies from the mountains and seas, simple white porridge, with carrots, sweet and sour eggplant.Carrot is made by slicing carrots, mixing chopped green onions, large and small fennel, ginger, shredded oranges, minced peppercorns, and red yeast rice, and marinating them with salt.And Fangfu's dish of red yeast rice is obviously too much, and the color looks extremely weird.The method of sweet and sour eggplant is also very simple, the tender eggplant is cut into pieces and blanched with boiling water, wrapped in a muslin cloth to squeeze out the water, then salted overnight, mixed well with shredded ginger and perilla after drying, and finally put sugar in the vinegar, fry it in a small pot until it boils, and splash it on the eggplant while it is hot.But the sweet and sour eggplant in Fangfu is black in color, and the appearance is really not good.Seeing that the four of them were reluctant to move their chopsticks, the guard sneered and said, "Why don't you refuse to eat, are you afraid that we will poison the dish?"
Rest assured, your lives are precious, and we will keep them as hostages. ”Without saying a word, Li Wei picked up chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of carrot and ate it, and under his drive, everyone moved their chopsticks to eat dinner.The carrot was so bad that the ingredients were not in the right proportion, the taste was weird, the vinegar of the sweet and sour eggplant was too much, and the taste was too sour, Liu Jingnian and Li Wei were used to eating Xue Ying's cooking, and they felt that it was difficult to swallow for a while, so they had to hurriedly drink the white porridge to fill their stomachs.The guard took the food down and brought another pot of tea.Liu Jingnian's eyes were sharp, and then he asked, "There are obviously four of us, why did you only bring a teacup?"
”The guard sneered and said, "It's all at this time, and I still pick and choose, I have food to eat and water to drink, and it's already Ah Lang's extra kindness." ”After saying that, he ignored him, turned his head and walked out.In desperation, the four had to share a tea cup.Levi himself has a habit of cleanliness, and would rather be thirsty than drink tea.Zhang Quan is a rough man who has nothing to hide, and immediately drank a full glass.Liu Jingnian hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and drank the tea, as expected, the taste was astringent, and there was no fragrance of tea at all.Liu Jingnian handed the teacup to Xue Ying: "If you are in a hurry, Xue Niangzi will take it." ”Xue Ying is also very taboo about sharing a tea cup with others, but the current situation seems to have no choice but to reach out and take it."
Wait."
Li Wei snatched the teacup, took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve, carefully wiped the teacup from the inside out, and then handed it to Xue Yingdao: "Now you can pour tea and drink." ”Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly thanked him in a low voice.Liu Jingnian pouted and said, "Zijing is too eccentric, why don't you wipe it for me?"
”Levi didn't bother to pay attention to him, still sitting in his chair and closing his eyes.After Xue Ying finished drinking the tea, she took out the handkerchief that Li Wei gave herself from her sleeve, wiped the tea cup carefully, poured the tea and handed it to him: "I have wiped it clean, you should drink a little, it is difficult to be thirsty." ”Li Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally took the tea cup in Xue Ying's hand, frowned and drank it all.Liu Jingnian pouted again: "It seems that Xue Niangzi's words are effective, I just persuaded you to drink tea, why don't you ignore me?"
”As soon as Liu Jingnian said this, Xue Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes, and she didn't want to pay attention to him.It was late at night, Liu Jingnian yawned and said, "It seems that we are going to spend the night here tonight, I really can't hold it anymore, so I'll take a nap first." ”After speaking, I found a corner and leaned on it, and after a while, I was breathing steadily, and I actually fell asleep.Zhang Quan was still holding on, and Li Wei said in a deep voice: "You can also sleep for a while, the most important thing is to preserve your physical strength at a critical moment." ”"Well, if there's anything urgent, I'll wake me up at any time."
After saying that, he also leaned back in his chair and fell asleep.Li Wei pointed to the wooden bed on the south side and said to Xue Ying, "You go to bed." ”Although the words were well-intentioned, the tone in which Levi spoke seemed as if this was not his right, but his obligation.She was really tired after a day of tossing, so she stopped being polite to Levi and went straight to the wooden bed and lay down.Although Xue Ying's body was very tired, her mind couldn't calm down, not to mention that she was in the same room with several big men, and she couldn't sleep at all, so she had to toss and turn in bed.Xue Ying forced herself to calm down, silently counted the sheep a few times, and the tiredness finally defeated the uneasiness in her heart, and finally had sleepiness.In the haze, it seemed that someone gently covered himself with the quilt, and Xue Ying, who had been sleeping lightly, woke up suddenly.Levi was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
”Xue Ying's face suddenly turned red, but fortunately, no one could see it at night.She changed the topic and asked: "Ah Lang is a cautious person, he will not easily risk his life, this time he came to Fang Mansion, he should have made arrangements in advance." ”Li Wei lowered his voice and said, "You guessed right, I have already written the slash in advance and reported the situation of Fang Zhengyan's rebellion to the imperial court."
Before coming to Fangfu, I also informed Chen Qing, the commander of the four compartments of Longwei, that I will attend the Great Dynasty Meeting as usual at two o'clock today, if I can't go at that time, I will definitely be trapped in Fangfu, and he will bring troops to save us. ”
