Emperor Taizu has watched too much "Tunnel War", right? Or is it that the part of "The Count of Monte Cristo" digging tunnels in the cell is crazy? Besides, the tunnels in these years, except for the use of the back road in the homes of dignitaries, the use of gold, silver and jewelry in the collection of gold, silver and jewelry by the rich and noble, and the use of explosives during the siege of the city, can not be talked about other uses.

When the four seas were leveled, what were you doing digging so many tunnels under Malu Mountain? How much work is that? How much less pain does this have to be to do such a thing?

Between the lightning and flint, Zhang Shou turned a lot of thoughts in his heart, and then he noticed what Zhu Tingfang had just said. Anyway, he still revisited the history books of the Ming Dynasty today, Mingxi is not the year name of Taizu, but the name of Taizong. And during the Taizong period, this was too broad, the first was the abdication of Taizu, and the second was the disappearance of Taizu, and the meaning was completely different!

Well, even if it wasn't dug during the Taizong period, but during the Taizu period, it may not be that Taizu who led people or sent someone to dig it...... He was slightly stunned, and then laughed dumbly: "So what? ”

Zhu Tingfang saw that Zhang Shou was silent and directly blocked the topic back, and couldn't help but smile: "It's not good." I won't take this kind of far-fetched remark seriously anyway. I have already driven the monk away, but I sent Lao Xi to rub a copy with him, as long as the comparison with what you and Yingying got before is correct, and send it to the capital for archiving, this matter will be over. ”

"It's been many years since then, then let him pass, there's no need to pursue it anymore."

"What Brother Zhu said is extremely true." Zhang Shou immediately nodded and agreed without thinking about it, "It's been almost a hundred years, and there are too many things that are rumored to be false, and after digging deeper, it's just that there are a few more different legends about Emperor Taizu among the people." It is not surprising that Taizu drove out the Tartars and restored China, and the great merits of ancient and modern times are rare, and there are many far-fetched rumors. ”

Zhu Tingfang knew since he was a child that Zhu Ying had always worshiped the founding ancestor, and what he was most afraid of was that she had infected Zhang Shou with this tendency, and Zhang Shou had also helped Weinan Bo Zhang Kang crack the Taizu secret box, so he was even more worried that people would fall into it.

You must know that even after so many years, Emperor Taizu's old affairs are still a deep pit, even if the heroes of the year are only left with side branches, many side branches have lost their titles because of continuous chaos, but God knows how many remnants are still scattered among the people.

Now seeing Zhang Shou's resolute attitude, he was a little relieved, and at the moment he rarely cared about Zhang Shou's daily life, reminded him that he should make up for dinner when he turned back, and then turned around and left. When he left, Zhang Shou didn't know whether he should thank his uncle for his care or smile bitterly, and after standing for a while, he suddenly coughed.

"Enough of that? I've really spoiled you, do you think people don't know you're hiding nearby? ”

He is habitually deceitful to see if he can summon Ah Liu, who doesn't know where to hide and watch the excitement, out. Unexpectedly, in the past, when he called him like this, Ah Liu would definitely appear, but after his words today, there was silence all around, and not even a ghost shadow appeared.

Realizing that he had guessed wrong, he rubbed his temples a little embarrassed, went back to the room to rearrange his clothes, shoes and socks, and then went out of the room, planning to ask someone to send some supper. But before he could be discharged from the hospital, he met Ah Liu, who came to him with a food box.

The four eyes stared at each other for a while, Zhang Shou coughed and was about to speak, but he didn't expect the corners of Ah Liu's mouth to curl up, and he was the first to speak: "I just saw him come before leaving!" ”

Are you so relieved of Zhu Tingfang? Aren't you afraid that people will break in directly, or quarrel or even fight with me if you don't agree with me?

Zhang Shou wanted to pretend to be annoyed and angry, but he and Ah Liu had been together for too long, so he couldn't pretend at all, so he could only snort and answer.

When Ah Liu stepped forward to follow him back to the room, he brought out a large bowl in the food box when he entered the room, and he saw that it was a bowl of chicken soup and rice noodles, and then the young man took out a small plate of chili oil, and his anger turned into surprise.

Ah Liu, this kid is a roundworm in his stomach or what? Even if you know he's spicy because he's cooked here twice, how do you know that he prefers rice noodles to noodles? He hadn't eaten that famous southern snack in years!

However, when Ah Liu took out small plates one after another, from peanuts, fungus, bean curd, pickled bamboo shoots and other side dishes, he didn't have the strength to be surprised, and watched people skillfully pour the contents of each small plate into the sea bowl. However, when Ah Liu was about to pour all the dishes of chili oil into him, he stretched out his hand.

He didn't care about the bowl full of chili oil, anyway, the chili peppers of the old salted fish were obviously not too spicy, but what he cared about was the attitude of this kid Ah Liu! He grabbed the person's wrist as soon as he could, but the young man had a thousand and ten thousand ways to get rid of his clamps, but he didn't struggle, so he asked with a very serious face, "Where did the rice noodles and ingredients come from?" How do you know I like to eat this? ”

"The young master really likes to eat?" Ah Liu asked as if confirmed, and then a smile bloomed, "I think so, you have made the village grow rice." ”

Belch...... Did Ah Liu actually speculate based on this? Zhang Shou was a little sluggish for a moment, and unconsciously let go of his hand, but then he thought that even if a lot of rice has been planted in the village now, he has never eaten rice noodles in the past three or four years, and he has never even seen it, how can he like to eat it at first sight today? Is he going to push this pot on some literati notes?

However, he soon found that in front of Ah Liu, he didn't have to explain at all. Because Ah Liu directly poured the chili oil into the sea bowl and stirred it well with chopsticks, he explained: "I like everything you think is delicious, then I think it is delicious, you must like it too." I ate it out once, and today I specially invited someone to the county kitchen to make it, and I also prepared chili peppers. ”

Well, this is the naïve thinking Ah Liu, he shouldn't think complicated people! The young man's mouth is still what he is used to!

Zhang Shou breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down, picked a chopstick of rice noodles and put it in his mouth. He instantly tasted that the smooth and refreshing rice noodles had been soaked in the fresh aroma of chicken soup and the spicy flavor of chili oil, and the layered feeling exploded instantly in his mouth, especially the tough chewiness, which was completely different from the taste of some black-hearted shops where the rice noodles were soaked until they were thick and then scalded with hot water.

The sourness of pickled bamboo shoots, the crispness of fungus, the crispiness of peanuts, the smoothness of yuba, the deliciousness of chicken soup, and the spicy chili peppers...... The flavors turned over in his mouth, so much so that at first he was reserved with a spoonful of rice noodles and a spoonful of soup, but he soon threw the spoon aside and drank the soup on the edge of the bowl while eating.

When the last big bowl of rice was eaten, the bowl of soup was all gone......

When Ah Liu handed over a soft towel at the right time, he found that it had been soaked in well water and wrung out and wiped on his face, and the cold and piercing bones were in stark contrast to the hot rice noodles before. He even simply put a soft towel on his face and sat on the Taishi chair for a while before taking it off.

"It's really good to be a qualified foodie like you, this supper is the most enjoyable meal I have eaten in Cangzhou!"

Ah Liu's eyes flashed, and then he asked with interest: "Aren't those dishes made with the overseas ingredients of the old salted fish not enjoyable?" ”

"You kid is really good at catching people's speech!" Zhang Shou was choked again, and then said with some annoyance, "Of course I cook my own food, I cook it myself and eat it myself, it's not called pleasure, it's not enjoyment, it's called doing it yourself, and you have enough food and clothing...... Isn't it because no one else will do it? I'm a lazy person, I can't wait to stretch out my hands for clothes and open my mouth for food, so it's best to teach my apprentices, and the master will be idle. ”

Ah Liu's eyes were stunned. When he packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out, and came back after a while, he saw that Zhang Shou, who had slept too much in the afternoon, had completely lost his sleepiness, he thought about it for a while, and then took the initiative to step forward and said, "Do you want to go to Bliss Street to go shopping to eliminate food?" ”

“……”

Zhang Shou's first reaction was that the pit people are not so pitiful! He took out Jile Street and asked Zhang Chen and Zhu Er to investigate the employment situation, would he still know what kind of place it was? Just look at the literal meaning, it is the most prosperous Fang market in Cangzhou, from the Qinglou Chu Pavilion to the restaurant and wine store, and then to all kinds of cloth villages, money villages, gold and silver shops, spice shops, casinos...... There's always something for everyone!

"Go to Spinning Street!" He thought as he spoke, he was a messenger, and he could still be said to be an inspection when he came to Textile Street, and he went to Bliss Street, maybe as long as he passed by the door in some places, believe it or not, as long as he was seen, he would be impeached by the imperial history when he turned back? Even if Yushi is selectively blind, Zhu Tingfang, who is separated by a wall, is not blind and deaf!

However, his final speech ushered in Ah Liu's concise protest: "It's almost time." ”

Zhang Shou suddenly realized that he had forgotten a very important fact. ...... It's almost nine o'clock. For the rich and powerful, as well as the idlers, when the nightlife has just begun, the people in the textile street should indeed have gone to bed early, because going to bed late means lighting the lamp, it means being hungry, and it means that you can't get up early tomorrow. This is indeed not a good time to go to the Spinning Street!

He didn't have a dead duck's hard mouth, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, let's go to Jile Street for a walk, you go next door and say to Zhu Dagongzi and lend Zhu Yi to me." You're the only one to follow, and you can't take care of anything if there's anything going on. ”

Ah Liu immediately went without saying a word. And when he came back, there was no Zhu Yi behind him, but a thin middle-aged man with a strange appearance was followed. In this regard, Ah Liu's explanation was very simple, Zhu Yi went out on business, but he didn't introduce the strange middle-aged man. And Zhang Shou soon saw people smiling all over his face, and after saluting, he reported to his home, but it turned out to be Cao Wu, the chief dart head of the Shunhe Dart Bureau.

What kind of experience is it to let the chief dart head of the dignified dart bureau accompany you shopping?

Although Zhang Shou said that he had never experienced it before, and when he went out that night, he saw Cao Wu following him as if he was a follower, he thought that the other party was probably known to everyone on the ground in Cangzhou, and he felt very inappropriate, so he did not hesitate to call him forward and walk side by side with him.

And after Cao Wu found that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, he immediately changed his title to Zhang Gongzi. He didn't expect that Zhu Tingfang would let him be a guide for Zhang Shou to go to Bliss Street, and at this time, there was both excitement and panic, so he was careful. As for places like the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, he deliberately bypassed it when he led the way, just to prevent him from meeting old acquaintances...... Or maybe it's a good old friend.

Take the prospective aunt of the Zhao Guogong Mansion to sleep in the willows? He's not going to die! He could see the fierceness of that aunt!

After seeing the luxury and prosperity of the city that never sleeps in later generations, and seeing the night scene of the capital, Zhang Shou walked on the seemingly prosperous Bliss Street in Cangzhou, and his reaction was naturally quite flat. In the opinion of Cao Wu on the side, this became a well-informed doctor of the country, and he couldn't look down on the small place of Cangzhou, so he racked his brains to make this envoy have some unexpected experiences.

However, the most he usually makes friends with is the second ancestor of the rich family, the head of the third class of the county government officials, and there are no higher-level figures, and most of the merchants who come to the dart are in charge, and the owner rarely shows his head. The level is not high enough, so all he can think of is eating, drinking, and having fun. After thinking about it, he remembered the news handed by an apprentice, and his heart moved, and he quietly chose a direction when leading the way.

When the three of them passed by a restaurant, they only heard an angry roar from upstairs: "That is the property of our Qi family, why should we entrust the kid surnamed Jiang to an outsider, this is unreasonable!" Since the Qi family has been arrested from the head of the family to the housewife to the son, the boss of the Qi family still pretended to say that the ancestral hall repented and atoned for his sins, and he should go to prison with them to die! ”

"If he dies, this Qi family property should be mine!"

Zhang Shou raised his eyebrows, and then glanced at Cao Wu on the side. He really felt that this scene was too coincidental, as if Cao Wu had brought him to this specific place at a specific time and heard this specific passage.

However, under his gaze, Cao Wu explained very calmly: "This person should be Qi Hai, the nephew of Qi Yuanwai, he spends all day drinking, and the wine girls in this proud restaurant are from the previous building, most of them are beautiful and gentle, so he often comes here." All the money and property left to him by his father were lost, and it was only then that he coveted the family property. ”

Zhang Shou wrote down such a name, and then thought to himself, fortunately, Young Master Qi was selfish, and he did not entrust the family business to anyone in the Qi family, but directly handed it over to Jiang Dashao to take care of it, otherwise there would be such a black-hearted thing upstairs, and there would be trouble. Besides, what does the Qi family's property belong to him? Young Master Qi still has a son, and he hasn't died yet!

Although he was slandered, Zhang Shou was not interested in theorizing with such an insatiable person, so he smiled and continued to walk forward. Seeing this, Cao Wu hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "This kind of person likes to make trouble out of nothing, just ignore him......"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly sensed something, hurriedly subconsciously turned his head, and immediately saw something falling from the sky, and with a bang, it smashed on the ground behind him, shattering for a while. Immediately after, he saw a passer-by who was screaming ooos with his face scratched by a splash of porcelain, but there was an angry shout from upstairs.

"These people of the Zhu family are blatantly biased in favor of the rebellious people, and the court and the central government are not without discerning people, and they will not let them succeed! I have quickly sent a letter to my father, asking him, the prefect of Hejian, to write a letter of impeachment...... I don't believe they can keep complacency! ”
