"Don't kiss, don't kiss, let me take a breath." Although Su Tang was in Qi Tianyun's arms, he pushed him away.
Qi Tianyun raised his eyebrows: "It's time for you to exercise."
Ah.
dog man.
Just as Su Tang was about to defend himself, he heard someone yelling outside: "What are you doing! Come on, someone wants to enter our yard."
Su Tang immediately stood up, and Qi Tianyun also had doubts on his face.
Just as the two were about to go out, Qi Tianyun grabbed Su Tang's wrist, tidied her clothes and hair, and said with a smile, "That's fine."
Heh, dog man.
When Su Tang went out, the little eunuch in the courtyard had already woken up and went out to arrest people together.
Jing Liang also frowned and went out.
"It seemed like Li Chun was shouting just now." Su Tang walked over quickly and hurriedly said, "Don't be seen by others."
As he said that, he went out by himself and left Qi Tianyun in the house, only to see Li Chun grabbing someone tightly outside.
Seeing Su Tang coming, Li Chun hurriedly said: "Su Tang, this man took a cage, it seems that he put something in our yard! If I hadn't come back to get something, I wouldn't have seen this man."
This little thief was also unlucky, he happened to meet Li Chun, but it was very dark here at night, and this man was wearing dark clothes, so it was impossible to tell what he looked like.
The little eunuch held the torch, they knew this man!
Li Chun shouted: "Aren't you Zhang Suju's apprentice! What are you doing here again!"
Seeing that he was discovered, the man said confidently: "You don't care what I do! You grab me like this, do you want to use lynching? This is the palace, you have to think about what you want to do!"
This is simply a threat.
Su Tang said lightly: "Li Chun, what did he do?"
"I saw him take a cage, as if he put something in our yard." Li Chun said immediately.
But the man argued: "What are you putting here! It's a mess here, don't be mistaken!"
This place is indeed very dark, but Su Tang believes that Li Chun will not lie.
The movement on their side attracted the guards in the palace, and they shouted loudly: "What are you doing over there? No loud noises are allowed in the forbidden area of the palace!"
When people from their side came, Zhang Suju's apprentice became more confident.
"Brother guard, I am the deputy head of the Su Bureau of the Imperial Dining Room. I came to be on duty, but I was caught by this folk kid, insisting that I put things in their yard."
The guard came over, frowned and said, "Why should we argue about such a trivial matter?"
The imperial dining room is guarded twelve hours a day, and it is normal for the deputy chef to be on duty.
It is more normal to have friction between Heideng Xiahuo.
Seeing that this matter was about to subside, Su Tang said, "What are you holding in your hand?"
What Su Tang asked was naturally the deputy chef.
The deputy chef basically means the deputy chef, and there are many people under him. He has not been asked this question for many years.
But at this time, he was very guilty, and he didn't dare to explain loudly, so he said bravely: "A cage for rabbits! I'm going to make rabbit meat soup tomorrow, what do you know!"
Su Tang took a handkerchief and asked the little eunuch to find the torch in the cage, and wipe it carefully with the handkerchief.
"Is the rabbit you raise black or white, male or female, how many months old, what is its size, and how much does it weigh?" Su Tang asked directly.
The guard next to him was startled, even many guards and imperial guards didn't know how to ask this question during the interrogation, this little girl is amazing, but he deliberately favored the deputy head today, so naturally he didn't allow Su Tang to ask any further questions.
"Why do you ask so many questions? Who are you? But do you want to do it for me?"
Ordinary people would be so frightened that their knees would go limp when asked by the guards, such as Li Chun, who was already afraid to catch the deputy chief.
Su Tang said politely: "I suspected that someone was releasing rats in the palace to create a plague, so I was anxious to ask more questions, and I hope the guard Haihan."
plague?
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed drastically.
Did you say the plague casually
Every time the plague appears, it means famine and human life!
The guard subconsciously retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about! If you confuse people with evil words, we will go to the prison and talk about it!"
Su Tang was not afraid, and asked him to look at the hair on the handkerchief: "I'm afraid there are mice in this cage, and the mouse hair on it is the evidence. Who knows how many mice this man released in the palace, this is not intentional. Plague, what is this? One cage can hold twenty rats, who knows how many cages he put in. Hundreds? Thousands? If there are accomplices, maybe tens of thousands."
Su Tang's tone became lower and lower, making people itchy in fright.
If this is true!
Then this person deserves to die!
This is the plague!
"You are talking nonsense! I only released a dozen of them! Don't talk nonsense!" The deputy chief immediately defended loudly.
Su Tang chuckled lightly, making the man tremble in his heart: "A dozen mice? Why did you come here to release the mice? Did someone come here? Could it be someone behind the scenes? Want to make trouble at the upcoming Mid-Autumn Palace banquet? "
"No, I didn't!" The deputy chef was already panicking.
Su Tang's crimes are more serious than the other, he can't afford it!
Su Tang looked at the guard and said, "You heard it too. This man deliberately put mice into the imperial dining room. The imperial dining room houses the dowagers of the palaces and the emperor's food. Who knows what this man is going to do. Don't let him Arrested for interrogation?"
The guard was dumbfounded.
But when he saw Su Tang's eyes, he immediately reacted to everything.
What kind of plague is made up by Su Tang to scare people!
That's why the deputy chef can explain so quickly.
Even Li Chun was able to react, and Jing Liang next to him was even more admirable.
Su Tang said a few words and immediately reversed the situation. Originally, according to the meaning of the guards, this was a small dispute, just let him go.
But now the deputy chef has recruited himself, and he released the mouse to the imperial dining room!
This is a big crime!
Everyone present understood, and subconsciously wondered how Su Tang's brain grew.
Why is he so good at cooking, not talking about it, but also so good at solving cases.
After a few words, everyone followed her without even thinking.
In the eyes of everyone with deep meaning, the deputy chief finally realized that Su Tang was cheating on him!
And it worked!
The deputy chief felt regretful in his heart, why did he confront someone like Su Tang.
Isn't this a place to die without a burial!
But he is not without a way out!
The deputy chef looked at the guard, this is his last escape route!
The guard was also secretly terrified, he was also taken away by Su Tang just now, when the deputy chef said about a dozen mice, he knew it was over.
The guard coughed lightly, and asked the deputy chef directly: "What are you doing with the rats? What is the purpose? Do you want to pollute the nobles' food!"
The deputy chef screamed: "How could I do such a thing! I just caught more than a dozen mice in the imperial dining room and buried them after they were about to be executed! But the lock of my cage was not tight, and it was broken by the mice directly." , These mice just ran out! I am also very sad."
Su Tang watched them act.
Good guy, suddenly changed from intentional to unintentional.
From this point of view, it means that he has been prepared for a long time, and he is deliberately waiting to find a good excuse.
If no one finds out, there are a lot of rats put in this small courtyard, and as long as you don't pay attention, the ingredients will be ruined.
Or tomorrow when Master Li and the Shangshu adults come, they find that the place is dirty, so they should be replaced.
No matter what the outcome is, the deputy chief, or Zhang Suju, and Manager Guo would like to see it.
Such a poisonous trick.
It is also fortunate that there are always people here, otherwise they would have been killed.
But they also have a way to justify, just say that the mouse accidentally ran out.
He even bribed the guard. The purpose of this guard's coming was just to make it a trivial matter.
It's really a chain.
But will Su Tang be afraid
Su Tang said lightly: "It's such a coincidence? The deputy chef is really innocent."
The irony of these words is so strong that anyone can tell that something is wrong.
"Of course I'm innocent! It's just that I accidentally lost a few mice, so you thought it was the plague? It's just like you, who have never seen the world, would think so. Folk cooks are folk cooks, and they don't know anything. Understood." At this moment, the deputy chef felt that he must be fine.
After all, in the final analysis, it was just that he accidentally lost the mouse.
Su Tang will only make a fuss out of a molehill if he goes up to sue!
Su Tang was thinking of countermeasures when he heard Qi Tianyun's voice from behind.
"Oh? Little cook doesn't understand, does Benhou understand?"
Qi Tianyun stood in the yard, the lantern flickered on and off, making his expression extremely cold.
The deputy chef didn't recognize him yet, but the guard next to him had already seen it clearly, and immediately knelt down in fright: "Master Hou! Why are you here!"
Marquis
Jing Liang was fine, he knew that Qi Tianyun was here all the time, but Li Fan, the deputy chief and several young eunuchs and maids were already terrified, and they obviously knelt together.
Su Tang made a gesture to salute, but was gently dragged by Qi Tianyun, and said in a low voice: "What are you saluting? Do you still want to hide me?"
"I can handle it myself, why do you have to come out?" Su Tang asked back.
The tone of the two is obviously very familiar.
Not only that, the deputy chef looked at Lord Hou's movements, and he was obviously very close to Su Tang. What is the relationship between the two
Isn't this the mighty Marquis Weiyuan
Why are you here!
Are you still so familiar with Su Tang? Then what did he just say about Su Tang
The deputy chief was sweating profusely, obviously frightened enough, why did this happen? Why is this so
Qi Tianyun said directly: "Guard Li, come out and tell me what happened just now."
Guard Li, who was always by Qi Tianyun's side, and several guards that Su Tang was familiar with, came out from nowhere.
Guard Li said: "Back to the Marquis, this man was sneaky and put two cages of mice in the yard where Miss Su Tang was. To catch mice, it's late."
As he said that, the guard behind threw out a sack, and the sack kept moving. It was obviously not the few mice that the deputy chief said, but there were at least thirty of them.
If these mice were placed in the yard where Su Tang was.
A lot of food in it is about to suffer.
Although there are a lot of rats in the palace, there are also many in the cold palace. This kind of place is good at repelling rats. Rats are very dirty, and they are afraid of contaminating the ingredients.
Not to mention Su Tang's main dish this time, any item in it is very precious.
There are more than 30 mice in this yard, could this be unintentional
It was clearly done on purpose!
The deputy chef couldn't think of it at all.
Someone actually caught the mouse directly!
And throw it in front of him!
It was Hou Ye's guards who caught it himself!
The deputy chef had already bounced to the ground and couldn't get up at all.
Qi Tianyun glanced around, and said lightly: "Everyone is up."
As soon as the guard in cold sweat stood up, he heard Qi Tianyun say: "Guard Li, send this inspecting guard to Luo Haixuan, and ask him how he brought the person. Is it time to investigate carefully among the guards of the imperial army?"
Luo Haixuan
Isn't this the Commander of the Forbidden Army
The guard who protected the deputy chief did not expect that he would be directly seen by Qi Tianyun if he just took a small amount of money and wanted to protect the deputy chief!
It's over, it's over!
This guard was like this, and the deputy chief was not much better, he didn't dare to raise his head at all.
It's okay for them to do these little tricks by themselves.
But if it happened to Lord Hou, it was Weiyuan Hou Qi Tianyun, this could only be a dead end.
Seeing that the few of them were about to be taken down, the guard who protected them immediately said: "Master Hou, I just charged a small amount of money. I thought what he did was just a trivial matter, and I didn't expect to surprise you at all. Please let me go." Come on, I'll tell you everything I know."
There is no need to ask, it will be said directly.
It can only be said that the matter of releasing more than 30 mice can be big or small.
If there really was a plague, ten thousand deaths would not be enough. If it was just deceiving people deliberately, the crime would be great, but not so great.
The deputy chief also came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "It's Zhang Suju, and Manager Guo! The two of them asked me to let me go! They said they ruined the soup made by Su Tang and her ingredients, so she will be in a few days tomorrow. If you don’t want to lose face in front of a lord, then it’s ours to compete with Tubo, and we can show off!”
When the guard heard these words, he was dumbfounded.
It turned out to be an errand for grabbing the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet
Did he do them a favor just to get some money
According to Zhang Suju, he just wanted to teach a few folk cooks a lesson, he didn't even know there was a conspiracy in it.
And it was to destroy the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet
The guard's face turned pale with fright. If he could turn back time, he would definitely not do it.
But it's too late now, too late for everything.
And the deputy chef next to him, in order to clear his guilt, told everything in one go.
It turned out that Director Guo felt that what Su Tang did was deliberately dismissing him and embarrassing him.
This kind of cooperation is not what he wants at all, even if it is mentioned later that he participated in the discussion with Tubo.
People asked him what kind of dishes he cooked, did Mr. Guo say that I went to pick cabbage hearts
Others definitely don't care, the more Mr. Guo thought about it, the more angry he came up with such a vicious method.
Rats are very dirty, and everyone pays attention to them on weekdays.
If these mice ruin Su Tang's dishes, let's see what she brings out tomorrow.
As soon as this idea came out, Director Guo immediately called Zhang Suju and Zhang Suju's apprentice as the deputy chief.
In fact, Zhang Suju didn't want to do this either, but when he was called over, he had to ask the apprentice to do some errands, and even specially transferred the time of the deputy chief.
Not only that, but also bribed the patrol guards.
There is no need for the guard to do anything, just let him help out when there is a dispute.
And Mr. Guo still has a way to justify, isn't it just a few mice? If it is seen, it means that the caught mouse accidentally ran away.
That statement sounds okay.
If he hadn't met Su Tang, he would have been escaped by the deputy chief long ago.
It can be seen that their plan is foolproof.
It's just that Su Tang is their nemesis, a few words from Su Tang made them lose their balance.
In addition, Qi Tianyun will be here, and it will take less than half an hour for him to be engaged in the posting, and everything has come to light.
Even Director Guo was caught out, not to mention Zhang Suju.
When they were arrested, the two of them were together, probably waiting for news from the deputy chief.
But the guards who caught them were Qi Tianyun's men and threw them directly to the gate of the small courtyard.
Qi Tianyun at the door made Mr. Guo tremble with fear, looking at the people next to him, he immediately understood what happened.
how so.
His plan was perfectly sound, and he had gotten past many people this way before.
But this time he was directly discovered by Marquis Weiyuan!
Qi Tianyun said to Su Tang: "How about leaving it to you?"
Su Tang looked at him: "I don't care, this is your business."
Mr. Guo was even more frightened when he heard this.
What tone did Su Tang use to speak to Marquis Weiyuan
Su Tang, who he always looked down upon, actually knew Weiyuanhou
Manager Guo didn't even need to think about it, he knew it was over.
It's all over.
Originally, even if he was discovered, he could still support his relationship, and at worst, he would be punished lightly.
But now!
Qi Tianyun listened to Su Tang's words and chuckled lightly: "My business? Don't you want to hide me? Don't let others see."
Su Tang took a deep breath.
Qi Tianyun did this on purpose!
I asked him to hide it because I didn't want others to know about their relationship.
But now
He is afraid that not enough people know about it!
Qi Tianyun looked into Su Tang's eyes, and said, "Still looking at me?"
?
Jingliang and everyone around him are numb.
He finally realized that he was different from Qi Tianyun, not because of his family background, but because he didn't have the face of chasing people.
Of course, he didn't dare to say that.
At this time, many people had gathered at the gate of the small courtyard, and Gan Xing and Master Li, Minister of Guanglu Temple, also came over, after all, they were also responsible for this matter.
When they heard that Mr. Guo was arrested by Marquis Weiyuan, they were a little confused.
How did you get caught
And why did Marquis Weiyuan come to such a remote palace
As soon as they came, everything was understood.
Su Tang actually knew Lord Hou, and they had a close relationship, no wonder she knew the commander of the imperial army!
It turns out that there is still this relationship.
Gan Xing and Master Li were in a cold sweat. Fortunately, they had a good relationship with Su Tang. If they helped Mr. Guo bully her, they would be the ones who would kneel down.
At this point things are clear.
It was Mr. Guo who was jealous and murdered, and almost ruined Su Tang's delicious food. It seemed that the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was less than three days away.
To do such a vicious thing, Mr. Li was almost pissed to death.
How come there are still people who are so indiscriminate between right and wrong!
I can't figure out anything!
They also caught mice from the cold palace and put them in Su Tang's yard.
How can there be such a vicious person!
Is this a matter of the imperial dining room
This is a matter for the entire Cang Qin Kingdom.
At that moment, Mr. Li directly ordered to dismiss Mr. Guo from the position of the head of the imperial dining room. Not only was he dismissed, he also had to be investigated. He even dared to bribe the guards. Who knows what else he would do
And that guard, when Luo Haixuan, who is the same age as the Imperial Army, comes over tomorrow, I'm afraid that the entire imperial guards will eat melons.
There is no manager of the imperial dining room for the time being, Master Li ordered to go down, wait for Huang Hunju to come tomorrow, let Huang Hunju temporarily act as the manager of the imperial dining room, and when he invites the Ministry of officials, he will formally promote Huang Hunju as the manager of the imperial dining room .
These disposals were considered appropriate, Qi Tianyun didn't say anything.
But standing here is a deterrent, who doesn't act impartially
But Su Tang couldn't help but said: "Why don't you go back."
Since Qi Tianyun was here most of the time, there was only one more person looking at her and Qi Tianyun.
"I'll take you back to rest? It should be time for a replacement." Qi Tianyun said.
That's right, Qi Tianyun knew that they were on guard for the night.
But it was indeed late at night, Huang Yuetong and Zhu Jinyuan came over together, but before they reached the door, they saw a group of people around here.
Fortunately, someone quickly told them about it.
Huang Yuetong and Zhu Jinyuan were shocked and afraid, but Huang Yuetong subconsciously said: "So my grandfather is going to be the head of the imperial dining room?"
Her grandfather had originally planned to go home early to take care of his old age, because he had a problem with Mr. Guo in the imperial dining room, and because he was already in the position of the Huang Hun Bureau, which was already very good.
Why did she just fall asleep and everything changed when she woke up
Fortunately, it is late at night, and more details will be retried tomorrow, but the conviction has been roughly confirmed.
Huang Yuetong looked at the tall man beside Su Tang, and was taken aback. This is Marquis Weiyuan? The relationship with Tangtang is still very good.
My God, is she dreaming
The truth is, it's not a dream, it's real.
Su Tang feels a little broken now, forget it, anyway, this matter will spread throughout the palace tomorrow.
Even if she stuffs Qi Tianyun into the cabinet, it's useless!
After this matter was dealt with, the people present noticed that the fragrance in the yard seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
It's all the scent wafting from Su Tang's yard.
Master Li couldn't help but said: "Miss Su Tang, is this the dish I'm going to cook tomorrow?"
Su Tang nodded: "It's just a part, it will taste better tomorrow."
Master Li is already swallowing.
It's okay to have a lot of things just now, everyone will be drooling now.
No way, it smells really good.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Su Tang simply said: "Why don't we make a face for everyone, I have been busy with this matter until now."
Jing Liang, Huang Yuetong, Li Chun, and Zhu Jinyuan certainly did not object.
In fact, they are also a little hungry. After all, smelling such a delicious smell, can they not be hungry
So, under the leadership of Su Tang, everyone started kneading the dough.
Take another spoonful from the soup that is about to be stewed, and use these soup ingredients as the soup base.
In fact, the smell has come out now, but it will be another smell tomorrow morning.
But it's delicious enough now!
Master Li and Gan Xing were already waiting eagerly.
Soft and firm hand-rolled noodles, rich soup base, and slightly fried ham.
Huang Yuetong also stuffed the bean sprouts used for practice into it, and there were enough fresh shrimps.
Such a bowl of noodles looks simple, but the ingredients are simply too rich. Among other things, the soup base is already worth thousands of gold!
It's just that they were eating, and the waiter next to the little emperor came over and asked for a bowl secretly, of course it was the kind with a lot of ingredients.
Good guy, everyone is up, waiting to read gossip and eat noodles!
But when Su Tang finished making the noodles and came out, he saw that the place next to Qi Tianyun was deliberately empty.
Seeing her coming out, Qi Tianyun said directly: "Why don't you eat? I'll share some with you?"
Ah.
The dog man is too good at swearing sovereignty.
