Ye Chengguan could tell that Prince Ning was blaming him, so he calmly picked up some shrimps and put them into the Hua Rujin bowl, and said in a calm tone:
“After all, it’s dinner, so you can’t eat too much greasy food. Instead, this stir-fried shrimp dish is made by wrapping the shrimps in egg white, cucumber and carrots. Each shrimp looks crystal clear and crispy when eaten.
It's refreshing, sweet and delicious, and it helps digestion. It's suitable for people of all ages, so you can eat more."
“The way to cook stir-fried shrimps is different.”
Zhu Zhiye didn't show any signs of weakness, and carefully poured half a bowl of Wensi tofu in front of Hua Rujin with a spoon, and said with a smile: "Little Hua'er, don't think this dish is ordinary, but it best demonstrates the exquisiteness of Yangzhou cuisine."
With the exquisite knife skills, strands of tofu shreds burst out in the soup like hibiscus in the water. It is elegant in style and has always been the favorite of literati. It not only melts in the mouth, but is also mellow and tender, making it very delicious."
She thought she could enjoy a good meal, but the actions of the two made Hua Rujin feel even more stressed.
Staring blankly at the dishes handed to them by the two, she really didn't know what to do.
After pondering for a moment, she had no choice but to pick some bamboo shoots and put them into her mouth. Before she could taste them carefully, she pretended to be full of praise and said: "I heard my cousin say in Jiangling City that Yangzhou's Da Zhu Gan Si is the best."
One of the unique ingredients is to use dried tofu cut into thin strips, served with chicken soup and bamboo shoot slices, and cooked over a slow fire. It’s really delicious.”
After saying that, he hurriedly picked some for Wu Mu Ning, Ye Chengwei, and Zhu Zhiye, and kept urging: "Try it quickly, this dish must be eaten while it is hot."
Wu Muning has already noticed that Ye Chengguan is the shopkeeper of his favorite flower. This nerd has been in Beijing Imperial College for many years. Even if he is a princess and the princess is attentive to him, he always has a noble and self-righteous attitude. He has never seen him before.
Which woman have you ever been so close to?
What's more, he was already engaged to the flower shopkeeper, so how could she not have this kind of discernment?
Moreover, she could also see that the flower shopkeeper had Ye Chengwei in mind, otherwise how could a girl like her come all the way to the provincial government to work as a staff member.
But the stupid prince next to him insisted on getting in.
Seeing the strong smell of gunpowder bursting out from the room, Wu Muning followed Hua Rujin's words and changed the topic: "I heard that the second son of the Shu family went to the north to join the army with Mr. Yan. This is really puzzling. His...
My eldest brother is now admitted to Taiyuan Hospital, and he can have a bright future, so why did he have to travel thousands of miles to live in such a miserable life?"
"A man's ambitions are everywhere, and it is natural to serve his family and country. How can he just think about being stuck in a gentle country all day long."
Ye Chengwei glanced sideways at Zhu Zhiye from the corner of his eye: "I really admire Second Young Master Shu for his integrity."
"Ye Chengwei, don't you just want to say that I don't seek to make progress, so why should I accuse Sang and Huai?"
Even if Zhu Zhiye doesn't have a bright mind, he can still hear the deep meaning in his words.
This guy is really trying to find every opportunity to bury himself. He pursed his lips in displeasure and said: "Don't think that you can give me a thumbs up after solving a few cases for the imperial court and getting the appreciation of my father. Mr. Wei
As I said, I am just a piece of rotten wood, why should I think about those bad things anymore."
After a moment of silence, he didn't want to continue pretending to be stupid, and simply said bluntly: "I know that you did not deliberately target me, but you just wanted to test my mind for Mr. Wei, but I will also say what I say in front of you today.
I just want to live my life and don’t want to get involved in any disputes.”
Ye Chengwei did not answer in a hurry, he slowly filled a bowl of chicken soup, and then put a piece of shrimp into the bowl. The color of the soup did not change. Then he put a trace of rich-colored eel into the soup, and the color of the soup immediately changed.
Became muddy.
Zhu Zhiye looked puzzled: "What do you want to do?"
"This dry silk soup is one of the outstanding representatives of Huaiyang cuisine. It is bright and mellow in color. However, if other vegetables are mixed into it, it will not be called boiled dry silk soup, and it will be difficult to maintain its pure color. Your Highness feels that it has some flavor in the bowl.
Do you have to choose?"
Ye Chengwei said in detail: "If Your Highness is just an ordinary citizen, your long-cherished wish is indeed very ordinary, but don't forget that you are the prince of the Daye Dynasty. Even if you want to keep your ambition,
Can those with ulterior motives agree?"
"Why, is there anyone else who wants to catch the duck and put it on the shelf?"
Zhu Zhiye snorted coldly.
"To be precise, it should be called Bird's End Gongzang."
Ye Chengguan's eyes flickered slightly and he smiled deeply: "Not to mention that His Highness is not a good bow. In the eyes of others, he is at most a bird that doesn't want to stand out."
"Since you know I don't want to stand out, why do you want to kill them all?"
"Then your Highness will have to ask your royal brother, Your Highness Prince Yun."
Ye Chengguan reminded: "You just came to Jiangling City and he wants to kill you. Do you still expect him to treat you well in the future?"
After a pause, he continued: "As for King Fu, in order to bring down King Yun, he did not hesitate to collect all the evidence of King Yun's crimes and wanted to kill him. What's more, I recently found out that the Zhuo family has been doing business with Beiguo these years.
, the most important items sold are iron ore and rice grains. Your Highness, if you think about it carefully, can the Zhuo family alone be so capable of doing such a business?"
"Selling iron ore and rice grain?"
Hua Rujin was stunned with shock: "If I remember correctly, the imperial court prohibited merchants from providing these two goods to the Northern Kingdom. That is a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."
No wonder he didn't allow himself to get involved in the Zhuo family's affairs just now. If this involved Prince Fu, he wouldn't be in danger of being killed.
King Ning's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he questioned in disbelief: "Brother Fu Wang has participated in the Northern Expedition many times. He knows the difficulties of the soldiers in the North. He cannot possibly condone the Zhuo family to do this unjust thing. It must be Zhuo."
The family did it secretly without telling him."
"Your Highness, even if the Zhuo family is an imperial merchant, they are still just businessmen. Where did he get the iron ore, and how did he get the customs clearance documents to go to the North?"
Wu Muning felt that His Highness lived too simply, and solemnly reminded him: "It is precisely because His Highness Prince Fu has made many expeditions to the north, and has many confidants still stationed at the border, that he has the ability to conceal these two goods to
It’s the North Country.”
Hearing this, Hua Rujin couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
Luo Chuhuai, as the Left Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, led the country's troops from afar. It is unknown whether he was also involved in this matter.
Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a serious crime that will bring down the nine tribes. If he is related to this matter, he will be unlucky in the future.
But then I thought about it, I didn't follow him back to Beijing, there was still room for maneuver, and I began to secretly rejoice in the decision I made, not coveting wealth, and led Hua Youen back to the Luo family.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to live with my head in my head now.
"What are you going to do next, sir?"
Hua Rujin looked at Ye Chengguan, wanting to know his next plan.
This guy always has a lot of things on his mind, and now that he has become his staff, he still refuses to be honest with him.
Ye Chengguan's eyes paused slightly and he said slowly: "I will use this current case to thoroughly investigate the Zhuo family, but I think Prince Fu is really involved, and we will definitely encounter considerable obstacles if we continue the thorough investigation."
"The soldiers fought bloody battles at the border. If King Fu really commits treason and collaboration with the enemy, let alone my father, I will not let him go."
Zhu Zhiye's expression changed: "Since I promised Xiao Hua'er to intervene in the Zhuo family's affairs, I will investigate this matter thoroughly with you this time."
Ye Chengguan was very satisfied with his answer and said with a smile: "This looks like a disciple taught by Mr. Wei."
"Ye Chengguan, I just don't like the intrigues and intrigues in the court, but it doesn't mean that I am a blind and incompetent person."
Zhu Zhiye said seriously: "The Daye Dynasty was built by the emperor and countless soldiers with their lives and blood. Now my father has managed the court in an orderly manner both inside and outside, and the world is at peace. I will never tolerate anyone disrupting this country for their own selfish purposes."
Peace and prosperity."
"I hope His Highness will not forget what he said today."
Ye Chengwei nodded and said with a smile.
If he can come to this realization, Mr. Wei can finally live a peaceful life.
Seeing the two shaking hands and making peace, Hua Rujin and Wu Muning were also happy from the bottom of their hearts, and they all agreed: "Eat the food quickly, don't waste this table of good food."
