As a result, Ge Taishi, who had a very good appetite, wiped out half of the copper pot fish by himself.

And the remaining half, Zhang Shou ate more than half, and two young students from Cangzhou ate the other half. Moreover, compared to Zhang Shou, who always looked like usual, and compared to Ge Yong, who was spicy but happily eating, the two of them were simply in tears, fortunately, there was also spicy soup and vegetarian dishes on the side, otherwise the two of them simply didn't know how to continue.

And the guest who was bold at the beginning of the criticism, but because he smelled the unusual fragrance on the adjacent table, he boldly stood up and watched the copper pot fish on Zhang Shou's table, and then called the shopkeeper over to question, and when he learned that a spice called chili pepper from overseas was added to the copper pot, he was suddenly a little stunned.

I can endure it and endure it, seeing that Zhang Shou and Ge Yong are already in a mess, obviously finished eating, he thought that the teacher and student were approachable and had no shelf, so he mustered up the courage to step forward and arch his hand.

"Master Ge, Dr. Zhang, dare to ask you what the strange overseas spices in this copper pot are......"

Before leaving, when Zhang Shou instructed Zhu Er and the others to plant the chili peppers as soon as possible, he planned to toss some movements on the way back to Beijing, just like asking Xu Ba to sell rice noodles with chili peppers on the Cangzhou wharf. Therefore, when he saw someone coming to inquire at this time, he did not feel strange at all, and of course he was very happy to answer.

"It was chili peppers from overseas. I got it from an old maritime merchant, although it is rare, but now it is already being tested, not only can it be seasoned, but also can dispel dampness, which is most suitable for seasoning when stir-frying hot pot. ”

Hearing Zhang Shou say this, the fast-mouthed guest showed a more curious expression: "Chili? There is only one word difference between it and our peppercorns, is it because the taste is similar, so it has a similar name? ”

"It's a bit similar." Zhang Shou has such an association with this person because of a pepper character, but he thinks that people are very smart, and immediately nodded and said, "Pepper is hot and dry, Sichuan pepper is warm and cold, and chili pepper drives away cold and relieves dysentery, all of which have their own effects, but the taste is pepper mild, pepper is fragrant, and pepper is really spicy." And when you add it to the dish, it has the finishing touch. ”

As he spoke, he said with a smile: "When I was in Cangzhou before, I once called a vendor selling rice noodles on the dock to make rice noodles once, although it was only a southern snack, but a few drops of sesame oil soaked in chili peppers, the taste was very different......

Let a foodie describe the food, then naturally you are looking for the right person. What's more, Zhang Shou not only knows how to eat, but also how to cook. Not only did he describe the indescribable flavoring effect of peppers, but he also mentioned potatoes, peanuts, corn, pumpkin, tomatoes, and ...... A crop that no one knew before turned into a plate of vegetables from his mouth, and in the end, it was not only one person who was hungry.

Just when this meal became Zhang Shou's food promotion meeting, but everyone had to listen to it and didn't have to eat, a voice suddenly came from outside again: "May I ask where Master Ge and Dr. Zhang live?" ”

As soon as he heard this voice, not to mention Zhang Shou's brows furrowed slightly, even the shopkeeper immediately sank his face. As soon as he thought that the elder Jiang Ge on the other side of Luhe Station was still trying to pull his guests over, the latest generation of the family members of the century-old store were full of unhappiness. However, as the owner of this place, he had to run to the door like a gust of wind.

However, he had just admitted to people that Zhang Shou and Ge Yong lived with him, and before he could find an excuse to prevaricate the visitor, he saw the middle-aged man who came down immediately pushed him away, and then strode straight in. At that moment, he was a little dazed, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but feel the urge to shout that there was an assassin.

Who let that reckless guy almost hurt him to fall to the ground unsteadily!

Zhang Shou was also taken aback by the guy who rushed in in a hurry. Because judging from the impression at first glance, he felt that it was absolutely impossible for him to be the subordinate of the Jiang family before. Even the descendants of the rich and noble can wear silk, but at least the shape is different. And when he was trying to figure out where the visitor came from, Ah Liu had already blocked the visitor with an arrow.

This time, without waiting for Ah Liu to make further moves, the uninvited guest knelt down with a thud: "Master Ge, Dr. Zhang, the dog is young and ignorant, and he made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, and I ask the adults to ignore the villain's mistakes and forgive him for this trip!" ”

What's the situation? Where is this?

Zhang Shou raised his eyebrows in surprise. It wasn't the Jiang family who came, but the person who came to beg them to let their son go, this style of painting is really unexpected. He also thought that the elder Jiang Ge would humbly and forbearably run over to let the house in person, invite him and Ge Yong to go back to live, and then establish a good image of the old man of Zhishi Pavilion!

At this moment, he glanced at Ge Yong inexplicably, and happily decided that the teacher was there, and he pretended to be dumb.

And Ge Yong, who was named, was completely angry. He stared at the person for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Ah Liu, pick people up, I hate kneeling on the ground when it's okay!" Who is this, he didn't even report his name as soon as he ran in, so he asked me to spare his son...... Who knows where his son is holy! ”

Hearing Ge Yong's words, Ah Liu immediately stepped forward and dragged the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground without thinking about it. And the middle-aged man broke free twice and couldn't break free, and hurriedly said loudly: "Huang Xian, the prefect of Xiaguan Hejian, the dog is ignorant and arrogant, first collided with the daughter of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, and then made waves in Cangzhou, and made trouble in tandem, all of them are Xiaguan who has no way to discipline him, and he deserves death!" ”

Zhang Shou then remembered Huang Gongzi and Master Bi, who were directly sent to the capital by Zhu Tingfang's two cars, and couldn't help but look thoughtfully at the middle-aged man in front of him who claimed to be the prefect of Hejian.

I have to say that because he raised such a stupid son, and that stupid son also claimed to have thousands of money tickets on him, his first impression of the Hejian prefect was that of a corrupt official who had no way to teach his son.

And such corrupt officials, generally brazen, abandon the character of the pawn to protect the car, in his opinion, as soon as he comes up, he first pushes everything on his son, and then claims that his godson has no way, that is the style of painting that should be. Even his son's crimes, which should be avoided and lightened, but at this time, Huang Xian, the prefect of Hejian, readily admitted his son's two biggest crimes, but came to beg them to open the net.

So, he hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to continue without speaking. There is a teacher here, which round of him said that he would never be lenient or tolerant?

Sure enough, Ge Yong sneered and said, "Since you know that your son has violated the law of the country, why are you still making trouble?" Thinking that intercession would save him from punishment? You know what kind of bastard things he did in Cangzhou! He actually sent that Master Bi to lobby the big businessmen and let them join forces to falsely accuse the envoys? You're not disciplined, you're breaking the law! ”

"Xia Guan didn't dare, Xia Guan just let him go out to travel, I didn't expect him to be so arrogant and bold, he was spoiled by me and his mother!" Huang Kuan, the prefect of Hejian, was already in tears as he spoke, "His mother has spoiled him since he was a child, and I was busy with official business and didn't discipline him much, but he didn't do anything about it, but he was self-righteous and ......."

A dignified four-rank prefect grabbed the ground with his head at this time, crying not to mention how sad he was.

"Xiaguan has been poor since childhood, and his wife is only a poor and talented daughter, so after having a son, we recalled the difficult years in the past, and Neiko said that we must not let the child suffer such hardships, so two sons and a daughter, from the beginning of their sensibility, Xiaguan and Neiko are all trying to give them the best, a rich one."

In the face of such an explanation, Ge Yong, a typical free-range son and grandson, was suddenly surprised, while Zhang Shou was ...... There is a sense of seeing those wealthy parents in later generations! This time, seeing that Ge Yong didn't mean to speak, he asked unhurriedly: "Then dare to ask this Huang Fuzun, your young son went out to travel but had a lot of money, and it was also given by your parents?" ”

And the answer he heard once again subverted his understanding that the prefect of Hejian was just a corrupt official - this guy is indeed a little greedy, but I have to say that even if people are really greedy, their behavior is a little different from that of ordinary corrupt officials.

"Yes, I won't hide it from the two of you, Xiaguan and Neiko are poor, so after becoming officials, they will try their best to make money."

Huang Zhifu, who took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes and nose vigorously, said pitifully: "After the third-class jinshi in the official examination, after staying in the court to study, he was released to make a county order, which is a large grain-producing county, and he can't resist Neizi's eagerness to seek wealth, coupled with the local grain merchant's harvest year to suppress grain prices, Neizi sent someone to collect a grain store that was about to go out of business, and every harvest will add five more cents per bucket to collect grain." ”

"Because Tong Suo is not deceived...... In fact, the main reason is that the price is a little more expensive, coupled with the support of my parents, this grain bank finally gained a firm foothold, and then ......" He said a little spitting and vomiting, and after a while, he seemed to be a little humble and said, "Later, other big households and grain stores couldn't stand the group counterattack, Neizi ...... Uchiko's methods are much more ruthless......"

may know that he may not be able to become the prefect, and nine times out of ten he will be punished; Maybe it was because he wanted to explain where the 10,000 and 8,000 money tickets that his son was carrying came from, although Huang Zhifu was a little hesitant, he still made his family history clear.

It's nothing more than what he does as an official, and his wife's business does it - every time he is in office, he envelops one faction to suppress the other, and before leaving office, he does not forget to have a good relationship with the one who takes over later, some of which come with a number of benefits, and some of which are directly half sold and half given away, so although it cannot be said that Huan Hai has earned a fortune in more than ten years, but he has also earned a net worth far better than that of a well-off.

The Huang family, which used to be poor and white, now has a grange, a shop, and a working capital of 350,000 yuan - the money put in the money bank in these years should be regarded as working capital in Zhang Shou's opinion. So, when the youngest son traveled for the first time in his life, Mrs. Huang, who was used to her son, let go of her hand and directly gave her younger son a wad of money tickets.

As for Governor Huang, when he learned about this situation, his youngest son had been gone for more than a month! And when he questioned his wife, he also said a sentence to him in a hearty manner - children have no money, and they have to learn badly!

When Zhang Shou heard this argument, his first reaction was that the bear parents, who were so spoiled that their children did not know the height of the sky, stuffed a wad of money in their hands when they let the bear children go far away, and then taught earnestly, I am afraid of anyone with money in my pocket, and I will rely on money to open the way in case of trouble. So, the bear child really thought that Lao Tzu was the richest in the world, and swaggered all the way through.

And the biggest problem is that Huang Gongzi's age...... I can't be a kid anymore!

After saying a lot of long-winded words, Huang Zhifu wiped his tears and said: "Now that the son of evil has made such a big disaster, the lower officials have already pleaded guilty to the imperial court, and now they are going to Beijing to listen to the punishment." Xia Guan knew that it was inevitable that someone would turn over the old accounts in the past, and it was better to be honest and frank than to hide them. ”

"The taxes that should be collected, the lower officials have not been less than the imperial court, nor have they collected more than a penny; The prison that should be broken, the lower officials are conscientious. The lower officials dare to swear by the heavens that the accounts handed over to the next office are all clean and clear, and the lower officials have never had an unjust case when they are in office. This can stand up to investigation, if there is a half-star, the lower officials are willing to be dealt with by the law of the country! ”

"In addition, building roads, bridges, opening ditches, caring for the elderly and helping the poor and the disabled, the lower officials have really done what they should do. Xia Guan should never take advantage of his position to do business and make money, and spoil his son so badly...... No, spoil him to be lawless and daring. I confessed all the sins that should be confessed for him, and I only asked Master Ge and Dr. Zhang to be a little lighter for the sake of his young and ignorant sake. ”

He didn't seem to care about the onlookers, as well as the shopkeeper and his buddies who were already stunned, kowtowed heavily, and then said with a heart: "It doesn't matter if you beat him with dozens of rods, or exile him for thousands of miles, please spare his life!" ”

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Shoufang had a ridiculous emotion. He glanced at Ah Liu, and saw that the young man immediately stepped forward and dragged this Huang Governor up, so he asked with a subtle face: "Who said that your son would die?" ”

Huang Zhifu was dragged up from the ground by Ah Liu, and he still had a stunned expression on his face. He subconsciously opened his mouth and said, "Didn't even the commander Lu County order Xu Cheng be cut down?" ”

Listening to this guy's tone just now, he has been an official for many years, and his political performance is not bad, why is he a little stupid? Zhang Shou was simply choked up a little ridiculously, because Changlu County ordered Xu Cheng to be cut, so he felt that his little son who caused trouble and caused a catastrophe would also be cut? That's a bit too far-fetched, isn't it?

However, maybe the other party thinks that Zhu Tingfang even dares to cut the officials of the imperial court, and a certain Huang Gongzi who offended Zhu Ying, and then ruthlessly calculated his own uncle and uncle, will definitely not let go?

And Ge Yong, who also tasted the taste, finally couldn't help but laugh at this time: "The country has national laws, the family has family rules, if your son deserves to die, no one can save him, if your son doesn't deserve to die, he won't die because of other people's likes and dislikes." It's a bit interesting that you reveal such a bunch in public, and you're not afraid to spread it. ”

"But I'm curious, how did you find this?"

Faced with Taishi Ge's question, Governor Huang hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Tongzhou is all over the city, and the old Jiangge has occupied the entire courtyard of Luheyi, so that you and Dr. Zhang have no place to live, so they have to stay in the guest house. ”
