The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 103: Eat thieves

Views:

Yun Yan returned from Zhao Yunchu's place. After thinking about it, she still felt a little uneasy, so she went to find Zhao Yundi, and wanted him to watch Zhao Yunchu more these days.

Zhao Yundi is teasing his little servant.

How should I put it, because of his hobby, the people around him were chosen repeatedly by the princess, and it was guaranteed that they would never be taken by him. However, even if Zhao Yundi can't get started, he likes to have a dry addiction.

When he saw Yun Yan coming back, he let out a "hey", let go of the unyielding servant boy, and turned to face Yun Yan with a lewd smile.

Yunyan replied: "..."

Yun Yanhui pretended not to see anything, and told him to let him look at Zhao Yunchu more.

Zhao Yundi looked at Yun Yanhui suspiciously. He really wouldn't care about his brother's state if he was fine, so he didn't know that Zhao Yunchu was in a bad mood these few days, unlike the princess.

But when Yun Yan returned to this way, it was easy for him to doubt it.

Yun Yanhui didn't plan to hide it, and told Zhao Yundi directly, and said, "You have to be responsible."

Zhao Yundi: "..."

What's the matter with him

Yun Yan replied, "It's all your bad example."

Zhao Yundi said with a stinky face: "I haven't had time to be an example, I didn't even move you."

Yunyan replied: "..."

Zhao Yundi: "If he really learned from me, it wouldn't be like this!"

Yun Yanhui felt so tired that she was too lazy to talk to this bastard, "Anyway, take care of your little brother."

Although he thinks that Zhao Yundi is a bad role model, but one thing Zhao Yundi is very good is that he sees it openly, no matter what he is made of, he seems to be happy every day.

Yun Yanhui sometimes feels that although he and Zhao Yundi's life content is different, maybe the happiness value is the same. It would be nice if Zhao Yundi could infect Zhao Yunchu.

When Yunyan returned, he was still standing outside the yard, and he smelled the fragrance of cooking cakes.

Well, definitely meat filling.

The neighbors passing by also drooled and said, "Dalang, are you steaming pancakes again?"

Yunyan replied: "..."

Alas, fortunately his surname is not Wu.

"Yes, my mother is steaming..." Yun Yan returned to the house and found that the staple food tonight was pancakes, which was almost ready, and there was nothing he could do for help.

Yun Yanhui took out the two wooden boxes, but before Shuangyi came back, she gave Zheng Ping the one first.

Zheng Ping was carrying the pancakes when Yun Yanhui took out the neck ornament and hung it around her neck from behind, "A-niang, give it to you."

Zheng Ping lowered her head and was almost startled by the Da Beizhu inside, "Where did it come from?"

"... A-niang, why do you sound like I've done something bad?" Yun Yan replied gloomily, "Isn't someone from the embassy who bought seeds from the Liao Kingdom before, and by the way, he brought two North Pearls to fight with? Two pieces of jewelry."

Zheng Ping was surprised for a while. Yun Yanhui never told her that there was such a thing. Women love beauty, not to mention that it was given by her son. Zheng Ping immediately put the cooking cakes aside and ran to look in the mirror.

Yun Yanhui quickly took over and took out the pancakes.

Zheng Ping especially liked this neck view, and she watched it for a while, and then said that she should buy some new cloth and make some new clothes to match.

Yun Yanhui knew that this was not going to end. After Zheng Ping finished making the clothes, she would find that she had to match new shoes and other accessories, and so on and so forth...

But it is also good to enjoy these pleasures, unlike Shuangyi.

Just thinking about it, Shuang Yi has also come back. Today, he is wearing men's clothes, but with a blue silk hairpin tied behind his head, he also wears very plain clothes.

Yun Yan returned the jewelry to Shuangyi, saw that Shuangyi was playing with it in his hand, and asked, "Are you thinking in your heart now that you don't have the chance to wear it at all, it's too easy to lose fun, and it's inconvenient to move?"

The design of these accessories is originally for those girls who are very delicate, and there is no time when the movement range is particularly large.

Shuang Yi sneered, "There will be, there will be, I will find a chance to wear it."

Yun Yan glared at her back, "It's better." When she asked Zheng Ping to make clothes, don't forget to make a few sets for Shuang Yi.

A few days later, Zheng Ling went to Kaifeng Mansion to find Yun Yan back and asked him to go out to dinner.

On weekdays, he was eating in the cafeteria, but he went out to eat today. Naturally, Zheng Ling couldn't hold back his curiosity and wanted to take the opportunity to ask Yun Yan about Zhao Yunchu's return.

The two found a casual shop near Kaifeng Mansion, ordered some food and drink, and chatted while eating.

When Zheng Ling asked, Yun Yan knew that he was not a fool, and he must have understood, so he told him not to worry, he had convinced Zhao Yunchu, and Zhao Yunchu was working hard to come out now.

Zheng Ling was speechless, "...to be so obedient."

It's incredible, but thinking that Zhao Yunchu really listens to Brother Yan on weekdays, it's not that hard to accept. But Zheng Ling is a little suspicious, can things like feelings really "work hard" to change

However, seeing that Yun Yan was very convinced, Zheng Ling didn't say anything.

The two looked at each other, and both saw a lot of helplessness in each other's eyes, and they touched the cups together.

They all grew up together, who knew such a thing would happen

Zheng Ling didn't know that Zhao Yunchu had secretly kissed Yun Yanhui long ago. He thought it was Yun Yanhui who was exposed this time, but Yun Yanhui had already discovered it.

The two clink glasses and have a drink, but a new customer enters the shop.

This person is tall, wearing a moon-blossom cloak, a crimson robe inside, and soap-colored official boots on his feet. This dress really can only be described by the word "saucy bag". Ordinary people can easily look oily and powdery when wearing it. With clear eyebrows and a very handsome face. However, his temperament was very cold and sharp, and while looking forward to it, it was awe-inspiring, and he suppressed this dress.

Many customers in the store noticed him, no way, it was too conspicuous.

Yun Yanhui also glanced at it, and then muttered in her heart, she is so fanciful, but she has never seen or heard of it in Bianjing, an outsider—

Yun Yanhui has also read countless people, and at a glance, it is basically certain that this person should not be an ordinary person.

Not to mention anything else, if he is willing to rely on his face to eat, he is probably already rich...

The doctor in the shop led the man to a seat, and then gave him the name of the food and drink.

The hall is so big, and the man didn't deliberately lower the volume, so Yun Yanhui easily heard his words: "Bring me old Shaojiu—is there any fish?"

The doctor nodded hastily.

Yun Yanhui affirmed his previous thoughts in his heart, this person is indeed a foreigner, and his accent can be heard.

The guest: "Bring the wine to me first, and the fish will come up, I want to choose."

Yun Yan listened back, and she felt that this was a very picky guest.

The doctor obviously noticed this, and hurriedly grabbed a jar of wine, opened it and poured out a bowl.

An expression of disgust appeared on the excellent face of the guest, "The color is not strong enough, and the fragrance is a little lighter, is this the best?"

The doctor took the wine back and went to the wine cellar to get a new one.

When the guest saw that it was indeed a good Chen Shao, he was satisfied.

It's not enough, the doctor has to go to the kitchen to scoop out the fish. The fish inside are fat and big, and the largest one is more than two kilograms. The doctor also boasted: "You came just right, this is authentic. The He Huayu, lively and lively, can be killed now."

The guest looked at him like an idiot: "He Huayu? Last year?"

The doctor choked, "Uh..."

Guest: "Hehua fish put fry along with the rice sowing, this season has just begun to sow, and a small fry grows in the paddy field for several months, at most it grows to the size of a palm. You harvested it last year and continued to raise it. ?"

The doctor nodded stupidly, "Well, yes."

The guest raised his pink lips and sneered, "But now the Hehua fish in the Daxiangguo Temple have been raised for so long, they are all black and shiny. Isn't yours an ordinary carp?"

Only then did the doctor understand that the people in front of him were not ordinary foreign guests, but very knowledgeable. Even the local guests around him looked lively and coaxed.

The guest didn't bother with him at all. After taking a sip of wine, he didn't look at him, and said lightly: "Just here, kill the biggest one, so that you don't steal it. Burn it after killing it, remember to be sure. Put some sugar in it, put shiitake mushrooms in it, it needs to be fresh and tender, and it needs to be bigger than two copper coins, so be sure to wash it.”

The doctor heard gold stars in his eyes, wrote it down, and thought to himself where the guest came from, why is it so difficult.

However, as soon as he saw this guest, his feet became weak, and he didn't dare to disobey. He hurried to the kitchen, instructed one by one, ordered the dishes, and after he brought them back, this difficult guest was very generous and slapped him at will. After rewarding him with more than 100 articles, the doctor rejoiced in his heart.

The guest tasted this dry-roasted carp, the thick sauce wrapped the tender fish, and the soft and plump mushrooms. After taking a few bites, he said reservedly, "It's okay."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled and praised again: "That is, to tell you the truth, our cook is close to the master chef of the Kaifeng mansion, and the master also gave him advice on weekdays."

Whoever believes this is an idiot.

Nowadays, I don’t know how many catering businesses in Bianjing City have a relationship with the public chef of Kaifeng Mansion. meal.

Talking about the relationship like this, the locals don't believe it when they hear it, but the non-local people will still be a little interested.

But the doctor seems to have forgotten that the guest in front of him is very picky about what he eats and understands well.

Hearing the doctor's words, the guest said very meanly: "If this is the case, then the chef of Kaifeng Mansion may be living in vain."

PhD:"… "

Many other customers who heard it all laughed and didn't give the store any money.

Yun Yanhui and Zheng Ling on the side looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

They have never been to this restaurant before, but they have also met people in other stores who claim to have some relationship with the Kaifeng mansion chef, and even heard about the relationship between eating in the same place, but they also It's a joke, it's impossible to be honest with people.

On the contrary, this guest was speechless.

This was originally a trivial matter, and Yun Yan didn't take it to heart. After chatting with Zheng Ling for a while, he returned to Kaifeng Mansion.

.

In the early morning of the next day, Yun Yan went back to the yamen yawning, and met Gongsun Ce at breakfast.

Gongsun Ce didn't seem to be awake, so Yun Yan asked him, "Sir, did you steal the chicken last night?"

Gongsun Ce glared at him, "It's too early to wake up today."

Yun Yan returned to be kind, and changed her mind: "Pick up eggs in the morning?"

Gongsun Ce: "..."

Gongsun Ce looked around, told him to come over, and whispered: "Earlier, Lord Fu Zun was going to the court, but he found a steel knife in the room that came from nowhere!"

Yun Yanhui took a deep breath, "What kind of illegal organization is so daring and dare to threaten Fu Zun?"

Hearing this, Yun Yan looked back and thought that it was like sending bullets and blades to people in modern times, but he thought it was incredible, besides Pang Taishi, who else had the guts to threaten Bao Zheng? And even if it's Taishi Pang, people don't play with threats, but start directly...

Gongsun Ce shook his head, "You're half right, it's not a complete threat. The steel knife is attached to a letter with grievances written on it. It's for people to avenge their grievances."

Yun Yan's scalp turned numb: "Is it written in blood? It's not a ghost again, right?"

Such a hostile way always feels very scary, don't you want to ask for your life

"Written by ink. Fu Zun rushed to the court, and left it for the next court to check, but he called me to investigate..." Gongsun Ce said quietly, as if he hadn't slept enough, "I haven't read it yet. Come out, you can come with me to see it later."

"Oh, okay." Yun Yan responded, finished eating the porridge and fried dough sticks, and went to Bao Zheng's room with Gongsun Ce to see the steel knife.

Yun Yan looked back and saw that the steel knife was nothing more than a cold light, and there were indeed four characters on the post next to it, "Yan Cha San's grievances", but the words were very muscular. where.

Yun Yan looked back at the post and heard Gongsun Ce say from the side, "Look, there is a little stain in the lower left corner, it looks like oil."

Yun Yan took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a little oil stain.

He tilted his head to think for a moment, then suddenly put the post under his nose and sniffed.

Gongsun Ce looked at it with folded arms and laughed, "Good hound."

Yun Yan smelled it back for a long time, but he really smelled something wrong. He said seriously to Gongsun Ce: "It wasn't made outside. If it wasn't for the person who voted for this post from our mansion, then this person first In the Fuzun room where we stole our roast duck with secret sauce in the kitchen..."

Gongsun Ce was ashamed, "I really smelled it? It shouldn't be someone from our house. If the people in the house want to avenge their grievances, they can go directly to the master, then this person is really... It's right to have enough food for grievances. so laid back?"

It's more than leisurely, it's just crazy, right? After having a meal in the kitchen, he put the knife and copybook over again. This behavior is absolutely crazy. Otherwise, why would Yun Yanhui feel that it is not like vindication, like a threat from the underworld.

"What's more important is that there are night watchmen in our mansion. Although it was not Zhan's guard on duty last night, but under such circumstances, this man actually entered the two important places in the kitchen and the mansion's room, and no one found it. That's amazing." Yun Yan rubbed her chin back and said, "Fortunately, he just came to steal food. If he came to kill, we wouldn't be able to find out if he died."

"Exactly." Gongsun Ce was also deeply worried about this, "But we don't know the origin of this person, we only know the name 'Yan Chasan', since he is seeking justice for Yan Chasan, he must have something to do with Yan Chasan. Check Yan Chasan, maybe there are some clues."

"Then how do you find Yan Chasan?"

"Since he has redressed his grievance, he will definitely appear naturally." Gongsun Ce said with his hands behind his back, "Wait, you should know who Yan Chasan is before today. It's just that Zhan guards need to be strictly patrolled for the past few days. Shou."

Yun Yan replied, "Ah, the person who kept the knife wouldn't dare to come again, would he?"

Gongsun Ce glanced at him, "One, this person is a lunatic, even if we strictly guard, he will break in. Two, even if there is nothing else, how can you be sure that this thief will not come again to steal food?"

Yunyan replied: "..."

Well, that makes sense.

If Gongsun Ce said, in less than a day, the identity of "Yan Chasan" will be known.

After Bao Zheng went to court, he returned to the yamen. As soon as he arrived at the door, someone rushed out to complain, claiming to be the servant of "Yan Chasan", saying that his master was accused of murder, but in fact he was innocent.

When Bao Zheng heard that it was Yan Chasan's case, he naturally paid attention, brought the boy back to the mansion for questioning, and called Gongsun Ce to come and listen.

Yun Yanhui listened to the last episode and didn't want to be fussy, so he also followed and hid in the back hall to eavesdrop.

Only then did I know that this child servant came from Xiangfu County. Xiangfu County is one of Chixian counties under Kaifeng House. His master was in the house of a relative in Xiangfu County. He came to get someone and said that his master killed the maid of the lady in the house, but his master actually recognized it, which made him puzzled, because they stayed together, and the master obviously did not kill.

At this time, most of the slaves and servants were employed and free, and they also belonged to good people, at least in the legal sense. Even if the parents are in debt and have no money, they have no right to sell their children as slaves, otherwise they will be punished and the production of a large number of slaves will be suppressed.

Because of this, this servant girl who belonged to the good people was killed, and the murderer had to pay for her life.

However, Bao Zheng only tried the case and asked people to go to Xiangfu County to get people, but he didn't ask about the strongman last night, and asked Yun Yanhui to be more curious.

Since these two masters and servants are outsiders, they have only one relative in Kaifeng, and they have falsely accused them, so the person who helped them is just a passing foodie... ah no, master
