Walnuts nourish the brain, and red beans nourish the blood. Zhuangyuan cake is made of walnuts and red beans as the main ingredients, plus some other refreshing foods. [] When candidates enter the examination room, they often bring these easy-to-eat and refreshing foods. To prevent entrainment, the pastry must be cut into one-inch square pieces when entering the examination room. Over time, pastry sellers on the street usually cut it into pieces of this size.
There are many vendors selling "Zhuangyuan Cake" near Gongyuan. With such a lively crowd, no one will notice.
"Porphyrin!"
Zhang Jun's legs were slightly numb. He was in a trance. He was full of annoyance and didn't pay attention. He took a few steps forward. Then his vision went dark, his legs went weak, and he suddenly fell to his knees. A rude captain in Jinyi Ji grabbed his collar and shouted: "Why are you pretending to be dead? Get up!"
As soon as he grabbed the collar, Zhang Jun's neck leaned up softly. The captain in Jinyi looked at Zhang Jun intently, and saw Zhang Jun's eyes were unfocused, and there were blood stains on his mouth and nose. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "General Banner, Mr. Liu Qi,... This man committed suicide by taking poison!"
Liu Yujue, who was walking behind, rushed to the front with a quick stride. He looked handsome, but his pretty face suddenly turned livid.
Zhang Jun is not dead yet, but everyone has to come out and he is not far from death.
On his deathbed, Zhang Jun vaguely imagined Xia Xun's solemn face in his mind: "Don't think that all you do is eat, drink, and listen to the news. You will be more dangerous than when you are charging at the palace. On the battlefield. , once you fail, you may not die, but in the enemy's heartland, once you fail, there is only one way to die.
I believe that each of you are loyal to His Highness and are not afraid of death. However, there are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death. Jin Yiwei's eighteen types of punishments can definitely make a person who is not afraid of death at all, fight for death. Give everything. Therefore, I will not let any of our people have the opportunity to fall into the hands of the Jinyi Guards, including myself. If you are not willing to go, take a step back now! No one will step back? Then, you remember, starting from today , your lives are left to me!"
"It turns out that the boss has arranged for someone else here!"
Zhang Jun wanted to smile, but his muscles had stiffened, and all that was left on his face was a half-smile, which looked very strange.
Liu Yujue straightened up and swept towards the crowd coldly. The crowd was crowded, many people were tiptoeing towards here, and people kept pushing forward from behind, and the person who took action was nowhere to be found.
In Jinyiwei's prison, Zhang Jun's naked body lay on the big, blood-rusted iron bed.
This large iron bed is usually used to "scrub" criminals. While carrying a large copper pot, pouring boiling water on the prisoners, they use an iron brush to scrub downwards, so that blood clots and rotten flesh will fall off piece by piece. Sometimes, you can also set up a charcoal fire under the bed, like roasting meat, and tie the person naked to it until the aroma of meat wafts out. If the torturers want to have some fun, they can also After the person was tied up, his intestines were removed, and a hook was used to pull out the person's intestines from the door, dragging them until they were old. The person was still alive at that time...
At the moment, Zhang Jun is already a dead body and does not need to be tortured. The only use of this multi-purpose iron bed is to place the body.
Luo Kedi clicked on the green spot on the corpse's thigh and said: "Here, there is a poisonous needle that seals the throat after seeing blood!"
He pondered: "This man runs the Fangsi Bao store alone. He doesn't even have a waiter... Well, what was found in the store?"
Liu Yujue on the side replied: "No, even the engraving plate has been destroyed by him, but the same paper and ink have been found. Other than that, nothing useful has been found."
The weak scholar who once wanted to cry when he was wronged may have been used to life and death. Facing the corpse on the iron bed, Liu Yujue's expression did not change.
Luo Kedi smiled coldly and said: "I am alone in Jinling... It is difficult for a person to endure loneliness. Check the people living near 'Songzhumei' and the traders who often wander here one by one and ask questions
Check where Zhang Jun usually eats and where he goes! As long as I find a few more clues, I can request the emperor to let me, Jin Yiwei, take over the case!"
"yes!"
"Zhang Jun has been discovered, but...he hasn't had a chance to confess anything yet!"
In the secret room of Jiang Mengxiong, the rogue brother of Confucius Temple, Xia Xun walked slowly with a sullen face.
"Does Zhang Junping have any contact with you?"
Jiang Mengxiong shook his head: "Except for the last time Mr. Meng summoned us, we have never been in contact with each other."
He thought for a while and then hesitated: "But..."
"Um?"
Xia Xun's eyes were sharp, staring at him like an arrow. Jiang Mengxiong flinched and replied: "Zhang Jun... often... often goes to Xu Shiling's flower boat..."
"Yihongfang?"
Xia Xun narrowed his eyes: "Do you go there often?"
Jiang Mengxiong's face turned a little red, but under Xia Xun's close gaze, he did not dare to hide it: "Yes..., I... Zhang Jun and I do often..., but... But, when we usually go there, we just pretend
As an ordinary guest, I have no contact with Xu Shiling..."
Xia Xun said solemnly: "If you want to find a woman, do you have to go to Yihongfang? And that Zhang Jun, he is a business owner of Four Treasures of Fang, and he runs a small business, but he is as wealthy as you, a naughty brother? He actually goes to Yihongfang!"
"
Jiang Mengxiong blushed and said: "We are not an accountant...don't the wealth go to outsiders..."
Xia Xun was extremely angry and shouted: "What a bastard!"
This was the first time Jiang Mengxiong saw him so angry, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Xia Xun didn't care to get angry with him anymore, and said in a hurry: "Your identity is just entering and exiting Yihong Fang, Zhang Jun's identity... I'm afraid Xu Shiling is not safe either, and he must be notified immediately to transfer. Wang Guanyu...
You haven’t been there, have you?”
Jiang Mengxiong said: "Yes, Guanyu doesn't like women very much. Except for the last time when I was summoned by you, I have never been to Yihong Fang."
At this point, he was a little unconvinced and said: "Sir, the court may not be able to find out that Zhang Jun has been to Yihong Fang, right? After his pen and ink shop closes, there is no place to go. Who will pay attention..."
Xia Xun said angrily: "If you want others to know nothing, you have to do nothing! This time, didn't they find Zhang Jun with just a piece of paper?"
Jiang Mengxiong said harshly: "Sir, do you want to use human hands to kill some of them to prevent them from being unscrupulous?"
Xia Xun said coldly: "Give me some responsibility. Our goal is not to assassinate a few insignificant people. I have big things to do, so don't mess up the situation."
"yes!"
Jiang Mengxiong agreed, and when he saw Xia Xun walking towards the door, he hurriedly followed him and said, "Your Excellency is leaving? If there is something urgent, where can I go to see you?"
Xia Xun looked back at him and said calmly: "If anything happens, I will find you."
Jiang Mengxiong's heart was frightened and he nodded quickly. He had no idea of Xia Xun's true identity in Jinling City. These days, Xia Xun was elusive. He took the initiative to find them every time. Each time he pretended to be a different person and wore different clothes. This
Once, Xia Xun pretended to be a gambler. After arriving at this underground gambling house, he made a few serious bets outside and lost dozens of dollars in his pocket before looking for an opportunity to contact him.
Jiang Mengxiong had always been disapproving of Xia Xun's caution, but now, he finally realized that there is no big mistake in being careful, and one mistake will last a lifetime.
※※※※
"Zhang Jun is exposed and you are in danger, so leave quickly!"
Xu Shiling didn't know who sent him the news, but the secret code above clearly stated that it was an order from Boss Xia.
According to Xia Xun's pre-planned deployment, the evacuation and hiding of personnel had been arranged at the beginning of the establishment of each institution. He could evacuate calmly. If the Jin Yiwei really found this place, he would have already disappeared without a trace. But he
He didn't leave, he didn't leave immediately because he was reluctant.
He was originally just a junior officer of the Yanshan Guards. He was alert and capable, and dared to fight and kill. But overnight, he became a wealthy man with fine clothes and fine food, and a cloud of beauties. Such days are what every man wants.
A dream. He never thought that flying a boat here and listening to the news would be more dangerous than the hail of bullets and arrows on the battlefield. After getting the news, he immediately started to take action.
He first transferred all the assets that could be transferred, including the funds allocated by Xia Xun and the private house he saved after running the flower boat. At the same time, he also had to make arrangements for Wei Lian.
Wei Lian is the girl he took over when he took over the boat. She is beautiful, generous, gentle and considerate.
A man who licks blood with a knife and doesn't know what will happen tomorrow suddenly meets such a lovely woman. How can he not fall in love with her? He fell in love with this girl and no longer wants her to have a career as a comedian.
, as if they were husband and wife, he had already decided to marry her. He had to make arrangements for Miss Wei Lian properly before he could leave with peace of mind.
Before leaving, he revealed his identity to Miss Wei Lian, then gave her some gold and silver, accompanied her to the city to find a house to rent, and agreed on a date to meet her.
, and then reluctantly kissed goodbye with tears. It was just after noon when he received the order. When he finished arranging all this and hurriedly returned to the boat, the lanterns were already on and the sky was full of stars and moon.
Xu Shiling took all the belongings he could take with him and was about to leave according to the prearranged evacuation plan. But just as he carried two bags on his back, four men in black boarded the ship. After figuring out the identity of the other party, Xu Shiling
Putting down the knife, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have received the order from your lord, and I am about to leave. Why did I send you to help again?"
He was a little curious. He thought Xia Xun had only arranged for a few of them in Jinling, but he had never seen these four people. Moreover, it seemed that these people were directly under the orders of Boss Xia. His own identity was already secret enough.
Okay, it seems that the identities of these people are more secretive than his. How many groups of people did Boss Xia arrange in Jinling?
The four men in black looked solemn, and one of them said solemnly: "You should have left long ago, but you haven't left yet!"
Xu Shiling argued: "Are you just giving up these belongings? There is still time. You are just worried that the Jin Yiwei will come to your door. How could it be so soon..."
The man in black interrupted him coldly: "Military orders are like mountains. If you have any reason, you should execute them immediately!"
Xu Shiling laughed and said: "Four brothers, this is not a battlefield..."
"This is the battlefield! This is the military order!"
Xu Shiling endured his anger and said: "Okay, I... will apologize to you, sir. Let's leave as soon as possible. If you board the ship so boldly, I'm afraid the secret won't be kept."
The man in black showed a mocking smile in his eyes, and said coldly: "Wealth, you can't let it go! Woman, you can't let it go! There are so many things in this world that you can't let go of, what secrets can you keep?"
Xu Shiling changed his color and said, "What do you mean?"
The man in black put his hand into his arms and said slowly: "What will happen to those who disobey military orders on the battlefield?"
Xu Shiling suddenly took two big steps back, until his back was pressed against the bulkhead, then he shouted with a pale face: "What do you want to do? I am His Highness's personal soldier. I live and die for Your Highness. I have no merit but hard work. Where did you come from? You can’t touch me if you come out of nowhere! Take me to see your Majesty, I will plead guilty to you, I will plead my case to you, I..."
"late!"
The leader of the man in black waved his hand coldly, his palm shining with a cold light.
Xu Shiling did not die with his eyes closed, because the officers and soldiers arrived faster than he expected, so that the four men in black had no time to confirm his death, so they hurriedly jumped into the water to escape. Xu Shiling was from the north, he didn't know how to swim, and he didn't know how to swim. Master Xia, who knew his magical powers, found a group of people with such good water skills. He leaned on the bow of the boat and watched them jump into the water, like fish, and suddenly disappeared.
When Xu Shiling was dying, he saw many pairs of official boots walking around him, but only one pair was a woman's feet. A pair of very slender and beautiful feet. He had admired them under the lamp countless times, so how could he not recognize them? Those are the feet of Miss Wei Lian. Take off your shoes and socks, and you will see a pair of beautiful feet with even bones and flesh, and the fingers are coated with danko, crystal clear, like jade bamboo shoots.
He could still hear Wei Lian's voice, which was still sweet, like the spring breeze whispering in his ears when love was lingering, but what she said at this moment was: "Master, it's him, he is Yan Rebellious spy!"
"On the battlefield, you are all heroes who are not afraid of death. Here, do you think it is just singing and dancing? Wrong! Here, it is more cruel than the battlefield! Those who cannot become useful will be abandoned!"
This is a sentence from Xia Xun that every flying dragon secret agent lurking in Jinling received after Xu Shiling died.
Luo Kedi entered the palace with great ambition.
By the Mochou Lake, he was placed in a row.
Today, he got another win.
Who wins and who loses?
He believes that Xia Xun will take action again!
