Chinese dining table

Chapter 854

Chapter 854

The prison in Zhengzhou is not as clean as the prison in Wannian County, and there is a hidden worry of overcrowding inside.

Stuffing thirty or forty people in a cell is strictly prohibited in Wannian County. Once a fire breaks out, the people inside will definitely turn into roast pigs, and there is no possibility of survival.

The smell inside was hard to describe, Yun Chu covered his mouth and nose, and refused to go in.

Zhou Xing patted himself on the head, and immediately ordered the servants to bring Li Yifu out of the prison.

Yun Chu came to the porter where the guards were on duty and sat down. After a while, the barefoot Li Yifu was brought.

Seeing Li Yifu, Yunchu stepped forward to salute, "Sir."

Li Yifu had just come out of the dark place, his eyes obviously hadn't recovered yet, but Yun Chu's voice was very recognizable, so he looked in the direction of Yun Chu's voice, without saying a word.

After he blinked his eyes and recovered his vision, he looked at Yun Chu and said, "Give me a glass of wine."

Yun Chu hung a kettle on his waist, and there was wine in it, but he didn't bring it to Li Yifu to drink, but said to Zhou Xing who also had a kettle on his waist, "Excuse me."

Zhou Xing didn't use the kettle on his waist either, but ordered the jailer to go outside to get wine for Li Yifu and some food along the way.

After a while, a meal of wine and meat was placed in front of Li Yifu.

Even in such a field, Li Yifu still cleaned his hands and face, and tidied his messy beard before sitting cross-legged on the ground, enjoying the food on the low table.

He ate quickly, but in an orderly manner, and even the spit out chicken bones were neatly arranged. He didn't point to the chicken bones on the dinner plate until he finished a stewed chicken and the wine was gone. Chu said: "One chicken wing is missing."

Zhou Xing's face immediately turned dark when he heard this, and he glanced at the jailer who brought the food, and someone dragged the jailer out immediately, and the jailer who stole a chicken wing remained resigned to his fate from the beginning to the end, without saying a word.

Li Yifu looked at Yunchu and said with a smile: "I used to like to eat chicken wings the most. After the incident in Chang'an, I never got tired of eating honey chicken wings in the canteen of Jinchangfang. Once when I had a banquet at home, I suddenly thought of this dish and ordered it." The servants went to the canteen of Jinchangfang to buy, ready to let everyone taste the benefits of this dish.

In the end, the servant only bought two pairs of chicken wings, saying that the cook in the canteen refused to sell all the chicken wings to the old man, which made the old man lose face, and from that day on, you became the old man's enemy. "

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Unless I settle in advance, otherwise, when the chicken wings are sold, even if I go, I can buy at most two pairs of chicken wings. This rule applies to everyone, not just for Mr. One."

Li Yifu said: "Why?"

Yun Chu said: "If all of them are sold to Mr., the people who line up behind won't be able to eat."

Li Yifu said: "Are those people more noble than the old man?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "No, they are just queuing up according to the rules. In the eyes of students, rules are more convincing than power, and once the rules are set, don't change or destroy them, otherwise, Gang Ji will Mess up."

Li Yifu said: "If today's old man is lucky enough to get some money and queue up to buy chicken wings, will they sell it to me?"

Yun Chu said: "This is natural."

Li Yifu nodded to show his understanding, then raised his head to look at Yunchu and said, "It's not something you can do such a boring thing as watching the old man joke, so why did you come to see the old man?"

Yun Chu said: "I came here for Huang Tong, a Jinshi in miscellaneous subjects in the first year of Longshuo."

Li Yifu thought for a moment and said: "Three thousand guan coins, one hundred catties of cinnabar, his sincerity is very sufficient."

Yun Chu and Zhou Xing looked at each other, Yun Chu said: "Three thousand guan, one hundred catties of cinnabar, just asking for a Jinshi in miscellaneous subjects, shouldn't it be worth it?"

Li Yifu shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "I don't know why he would do this. He gives me enough money, is sincere, and serves me with all my heart. What I'm looking for is just a Jinshi, so I will naturally fulfill him."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "Where does the word serve come from? As far as the students know, Mister is not as good as Long Yang."

Li Yifu laughed loudly and said: "This old man is such a soft woman, Huang Tong's wife is very good."

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Although my court strictly prohibits the sale of officials and nobles, a certain family is not a scholar who is deaf to things outside the window. He still knows a little about certain things in the court, and a thousand pens is enough to make him a certain prince. , the subordinate officials of the fifth and sixth ranks of the Princess Mansion, after having this status, they only need to spend another five or six hundred guan to be transferred to the official office of Datang, and another one thousand guan to manage with officials like you, sir. After all, it is possible to become a Biejia of a state. But for a miscellaneous Jinshi, he not only paid three thousand guan, but also cinnabar worth a thousand guan, and finally even got his own wife involved. Sir, don’t you Do you find it strange?"

Li Yifu scratched his messy hair, nodded and said: "It's indeed suspicious, but so what if it's suspicious, after all, they give you a lot, hahaha."

Yun Chu took a careful look at Li Yi's mansion, which was already in disrepair, and got up and said, "In that case, the student will leave."

Li Yifu hurriedly said: "At least leave me a pair of shoes and a padded jacket."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "The shoes, padded jacket, and clumsy bushes have already been delivered. I heard that the husband doesn't want them. If that's the case, don't waste them."

Zhou Xing waved his hand, and Li Yifu was dragged into prison by the yamen servants.

Seeing that Yunchu was still in deep thought, Zhou Xing said from the side: "Li Yi's mansion is obviously not telling the truth, you wait for a day, and tomorrow, Zhou Xing will definitely dig out the news that you want from Li Yi's mansion."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Things are seriously wrong, you have to be careful."

Zhou Xing said proudly: "Since it fell into the hands of a certain family, let's see how he conceals it."

After Yunchu returned to the barracks, he immediately said to Wenrou and Di Renjie, "There are more and more doubts about this person, let's start a thorough investigation."

Di Renjie said, "It's faster to arrest and investigate."

Gentlely said: "Arresting people is Baiqisi's business, we can't do that."

Yun Chu smiled wryly and said, "Who has more Baiqisi agents around us than us?"

After finishing speaking, Yunchu asked the soldiers to find the army commander Zhao Chengzhou. If Yunchu guessed correctly, this guy should be the biggest spy leader in his army.

Gentle, Di Renjie left, Zhao Chengzhou came in, looked at Yun Chu who was sitting behind the table, clasped his fists and said: "The last general has seen the general."

Yunchu said bluntly: "Go and arrest Huang Tong, the magistrate of Yanshi County, and torture him severely."

Zhao Chengzhou looked at Yun Chu strangely and said, "Arresting magistrates for no reason is a taboo. General please think twice."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's really taboo for the military commander to arrest the local county magistrate. Aren't you the commander of the Baiqi Division? The commander of the Baiqi Division is going to arrest a county magistrate. It should be fine, right?"

Zhao Chengzhou lied without changing his expression: "The general is joking."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "A certain family is not joking, you'd better set off immediately to capture Huang Tong back to me, I have something very important to prove from him, once you miss this opportunity, even if your family has a hundred generations , you can't bear the guilt."

Zhao Chengzhou thought for a while and said, "Rong Mo will report."

Yun Chu said: "You probably don't have much time."

Zhao Chengzhou said: "Half an hour is enough."

Yun Chu got up and came to the edge of the map, and used a compass to draw a circle on the map with his location as the center and the distance the horse galloped for a quarter of an hour as the radius. A place called Gubaidu near Zhengzhou said: "Hurry up and come back."

Seeing that Baiqisi's stronghold was tricked by Yunchu from his few words, his face turned pale, and he stammered: "General, general... the last general, the last general... "

Yun Chu glanced at Zhao Chengzhou and said, "Go and do something quickly."

Watching Zhao Chengzhou, who was in a disturbed mood, go away, Wen Rou, Di Renjie entered the big tent again, and said in a puzzled way: "Are you in a hurry?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I need to let His Majesty know that I am very anxious. It is very likely that the more anxious I am, the more comfortable His Majesty will be. This will make it easier for Li Si and the others to continue working in Zhengzhou."

Di Renjie thought for a while and said, "That's right, that is, someone like His Majesty who never takes money as money can do such stupid things."

He sighed softly and said, "Poor our group of people, knowing what His Majesty is doing, but still showing a look of exhaustion, so that His Majesty can continue to be proud of his plan."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Wait, wait until Zhou Xing finds out the truth from Li Yifu, I will go to the secret report and report to His Majesty clearly this suspicious Huang Tong, no matter whether this person is smart or stupid, he is not a suitable person. A magistrate in Yanshi County.

It's pitiful for Li Jingxuan, who made a good arrangement, but was viewed by His Majesty as a big joke. "

He said gently: "Is it necessary to remind Li Jingxuan?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The deal between us is over, whether good or bad is his own choice, I just can't figure it out, Li Yifu, Li Jingxuan, which one of them is not a good person, but why they arranged for the emperor again and again jump into the trap.

Take Li Yifu as an example. He spent half his life earning 16 guan of money and [-] catties of pepper for himself. As a result, once his home was ransacked, all his money, wife, children, and children belonged to His Majesty, and he ended up with a chicken You can find that there is one less chicken wing, why bother. "

Gentlely shook his head and said: "You don't hurt your back when you stand and talk, 16 guan of money, plus [-] catties of pepper, do you know that these materials are enough for a small family to become a famous big family in ten years.

For these people, this kind of big family has another name called Qianlong.

It is actually very cost-effective to gamble with your own life and the lives of the whole family on the result of Long Xiao Nine Heavens. "
