As soon as the word "sweet potato" came out of his mouth, Zhang Shou saw the face of the old salted fish opposite suddenly change. ≦See the latest ≧≦ chapter ≧≦ Baidu ≧ ≦ Search ≧ ≦ Product ≧≦ Book ≧≦ Net ≧ He is not pure It was a slip of the tongue. After saying the words "Being an official and not making decisions for the people", he suddenly didn't want to replace the word "sweet potato" with something else. Although it was just the first time he met the old salted fish whose experience was a mystery, he still decided Boldly take a bigger step in testing.
Under Zhang Shou's piercing gaze, although Old Xianyu tried his best to appear calm and natural, he could not help but avoid Zhang Shou's gaze because his mood fluctuated too much. However, even if he turned his gaze elsewhere, He could still detect Zhang Shou's eyes. The battle between heaven and man took place for a while, and he even had the worst thoughts, but finally gave up.
He turned his head again and said with a dry laugh: "In my entire life, this is the first time I've seen Dr. Zhang, an official who has no airs and only cares about the food and clothing of all the people. I'm really shocked... Since you are all If you open your mouth, I can give you all the seeds for the things we have eaten today. Not only the seeds, but also how to plant them, I can also give you some guidance without thinking beyond my own capabilities."
Zhang Shou didn't expect that Old Xianyu didn't bargain with his nephew. After the initial surprise, he smiled and said: "It's just the ones we ate today? You really didn't hide anything else and ate it yourself, no?" Take it out and share it with others? For example... sweet potatoes?"
Old Xianyu, who had been so cheerful and carefree just now, finally tensed up his nerves again when he heard the word sweet potato, and even took a small step forward unconsciously. However, when he saw Zhang Shouxiao looking at him, He finally stopped the urge abruptly, and the smile on his face looked extremely forced.
"Where has Dr. Zhang heard of sweet potatoes?"
"Of course it is the legacy of Taizu." Zhang Shou looked at Old Xianyu with an unusually calm expression, "You probably don't know that I once cracked a secret box left by Emperor Taizu in the capital. The Taizu inside The relics were all rewarded to me by the emperor. Although I have little talent and knowledge, I can only see that one of them is a timer, and there is no way to start with those manuscripts, but I can figure out something by chance."
"After all, many people in the court knew about Emperor Taizu's dream about the map of the four directions of the world."
Seeing Old Xianyu open his mouth wide open, Zhang Shou became more sincere and sincere: "Furthermore, I cracked the secret box. This is something everyone in the capital knows. You are from Cangzhou, so you probably don't know. If you don't believe it, just listen." Seeing is believing, if you are willing, you can go to the capital with me. Speaking of which, even for your nephew, I am afraid you have to go to the capital."
"Because these good things can make many poor people full, and you may be able to buy his life back."
He paused as he spoke, with a warm smile on his face: "The reason why Zhu Erlang came to Cangzhou this time is because Ah Liu returned to Beijing from Cangzhou that day. Zhu Erlang happened to hear that you have those people who have never been in the Ming Dynasty. I have heard of it. Despite his virtues, he understands that agriculture is the foundation of the country. If you don’t trust me, you can have a chat with him. It won’t be too late to make a decision after something is grown in the capital.”
Under such gentle persuasion, even though Lao Xianyu managed to remain vigilant and full of doubts, he still had to admit that Zhang Shou's words did have some credibility.
What's more, his sister's only nephew is likely to be killed, and he can't really ignore it!
"This matter is no small matter. After all, I have to leave behind my family fortune in Cangzhou. Dr. Zhang, you have to let me think about it carefully."
"You can think about it, I still have to stay in Cangzhou for a few days, don't rush it for a while." Zhang Shou chuckled, nodded and turned around to go out. Outside the door, he saw Ah Liuyi turning the dagger that was as sharp as clay in his hand.
, with the short bow hanging in one hand, he didn't know that people were always paying attention to his safety, and at least smiled at him.
Ah Liu also showed a smile to Zhang Shou, then returned the sword to its sheath, hung the short bow on his waist, then pointed at the sky with his finger, and said concisely: "Go back?"
"Of course we're going back." Zhang Shou said, suddenly paused, and immediately looked towards the kitchen in the courtyard. He saw that there was no wind, but the curtain was moving slightly. He knew that it must be Little Peanut hiding behind and peeking.
Hearing this, he immediately changed his mind and told Ah Liu, "When you get back, go to Xingtai to send a message."
Ah Liu didn't even look at the kitchen, and immediately frowned, with a look of resistance on his face: "If I leave, there will be no one for you."
Zhang Shou suddenly laughed: "Didn't Zhu Erlang and Yingying bring many people with them?"
"They are different from me." Ah Liu continued to object without thinking, "Let them deliver the letter."
Zhang Shou stared at Ah Liu with a serious face for a long time, as if he had to give in: "Okay, when I see Zhu Hong and Zhu Yi, you can pick a suitable person and go to Xingtai to send me a message. Regardless of Zhang Wu
Zhang Lu or Zhang Chen, let at least one of them come over! If someone in Xingtai can actually let the storm spread to Cangzhou and make the matter so big, of course they have to be responsible for ending it!"
Ah Liu then nodded with satisfaction: "I have beaten all the Zhu family members, so I just have to pick the one who is the best at beating them."
The expression on the face of Old Xianyu, who was also eavesdropping in the room, was a little stiff. What do you mean by having beaten them all, and picking the one who can beat him the best? The last time he saw Ah Liu wandering around alone, he only felt that this young man was not good enough.
He loves to talk and has a bit of a weird temper, but he is generous and cheerful. But this time he finally realized how eccentric people really are!
Zhang Shou did not find fault with Ah Liu. He had already seen that Ah Liu was deliberately showing the most surly side to cooperate with his acting. At that moment, he continued to say calmly: "Since you are in Xingtai, let me
While others go, you have to go to Cangzhou City in person. Then go and send invitations to those families who are connected with the eldest prince, and don’t accept any of them."
Ah Liusha nodded politely and said, "Yes, I know, Hongmen Banquet."
"Don't say it even if you know it!" Zhang Shou finally couldn't help but laughed and cursed. When he saw the person immediately shut up, he turned around. When he saw the old salted fish finally walking out of the door, he said to the person
Nod and smile.
"It's getting late, and I should go back. It's just that I'm not familiar with Ah Liu in Cangzhou City. Can you let Little Peanut give me and Ah Liu a ride? Besides, I'm new here, and I still have a lot of things to do next.
Yes, if Little Peanut happens to be idle, I would like to borrow his help for two days to deal with various people. Is it convenient?"
"Convenient, of course it's convenient!" Little Peanut rushed out of the kitchen, his thin body straight, "I am the most familiar with Cangzhou. I know many people from all walks of life. I can lead the way and feed the horses.
,I can……"
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Shou immediately smiled and made a gesture to stop Xiaohuatiao, who was still continuing to introduce himself, and looked at Old Xianyu. Sure enough, the older man hesitated.
After a while, he finally nodded, then called Little Peanut over and gave him instructions for a long time.
He knew without guessing that he must be telling people to be tight-lipped and stop talking nonsense...it would be best to pay more attention to how he behaves, and so on.
As soon as he left the salted fish shop in the back yard of this shop, Little Peanut was like a bird flying out of a cage. He suddenly felt much more relaxed. He would never again ride Ah Liu's horse, even if Ah Liu said
He was willing to take him riding with him, but he refused to agree. He kept saying that he would do what he had to do, and he took over the task of leading Zhang Shou's horse. He kept talking all the way.
"My uncle always treats me like a child and is always worried that I will be deceived. I wish he had asked me not to be betrayed by Uncle Yunhe! Uncle Yunhe is so kind to me, he treats me like his own son...
Brother Six is also very good. I have never seen a good person who would let me ride a horse just because I like horses!"
As Little Peanut spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Ah Liu. Seeing that the young man nodded slightly to him, without the initial coldness on his face, he suddenly became even more excited, and turned to Zhang Shou and said, "I was still there before.
I was worried that Dr. Zhang, you would be like those dog officials and big dog owners, but later I found out that you are also a good person!"
Probably because it was already approaching dusk after the turmoil, there were not many people on the road, and with Ah Liu there, Zhang Shou was not worried about the trouble caused by little peanut's shouting, and accepted this good man's offer with a smile.
Ka: "How do you know I'm a good person? Just because I made that meal?"
"How can any official cook food for someone like me?" Although Little Peanut walked backwards, he seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and walked extremely steadily. He touched his nose as he walked and said, "
Dr. Zhang, your cooking is so delicious and you are so kind to people, so of course you are the best kind person! You must save Uncle Yunhe, he was really forced to do what he did!"
After hearing Little Peanut's continuous good-guy cards, and finally starting to murmur again, Zhang Shou sighed and said: "I will think of a way... By the way, I heard that the reason why the eldest prince was held hostage was
Because she was seduced by someone sent by Xian Yunhe? She was able to charm the eldest prince, and later even took him hostage. Which girl is so courageous?"
Little Peanut hesitated at first, and then started talking about him, trying to get rid of the topic. When he found that Zhang Shou still held on to him, he had no choice but to say: "I don't know, maybe it's Uncle Yunhe."
My old lover..."
"A manly man, even if he encounters an insurmountable obstacle, unless there are a few shameless men, he will never be able to dedicate his hands to the woman he loves...even if it is just for show." Zhang Shou interrupted.
Xiao Huahua then said with a smile, "Although I have never met Xian Yunhe, from what I have heard, he shouldn't be the kind of person who is unscrupulous."
Ah Liu saw Little Peanut lowering his head with guilt, and he suddenly said: "It can't be you, can it?"
"Liu...Brother Liu, don't...stop joking! What is me, how could it be me!"
Seeing Little Peanut, he exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on. At first, he couldn't even speak. It took him a while to regain his breath. Zhang Shou originally thought Ah Liu's speculation was nonsense. At this time,
He couldn't help but mutter. He glanced around and saw that there were no pedestrians on the road. He stared at the little peanut and looked up and down. At this glance, he found a clue.
Although he is not very tall and is a little thin, the little peanut is indeed quite delicate, and such a delicate figure can only be dressed up by someone who is good at makeup, and his behavior is different from those who are posing.
The beauties have a different kind of charm. Maybe the eldest prince's "unique" vision will really take the bait.
Although Little Peanut lowered his head and did not dare to look into Zhang Shou's eyes, he persisted for a while, and finally whispered in a despondent tone: "It's me...I took the initiative. You can't sacrifice a girl from a good family for this."
As for me... If it didn't work out, I would fight him tooth and nail. Fortunately, I didn't wait until then, so I grabbed the opportunity..."
Good boy, if it weren't for Ah Liu's rich imagination, he would have almost missed such a big fish?
Zhang Shou took a deep breath, turned his head, and saw Ah Liu looking up and down at the little peanut with great interest, as if he had become the weirdo again who looked at people's mouths where they would eat better. He had to cough heavily.
There was a sound.
"Hasn't General Zhu asked about Xian Yunhe before?"
Little Peanut suddenly felt even more guilty: "General Zhu asked about it...but Uncle Yunhe refused to say anything until he died, and the others didn't know. In addition, Uncle Yunhe shouldered all the charges by himself, so..."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. The more he spoke, the more guilty he became. In the end, his eye circles were a little red, "Actually, I should be locked up with him at this time..."
At this moment, Ah Liu suddenly jumped off the horse, and then slapped Little Peanut heavily on the shoulder. He was shocked when he saw the person. He immediately raised his head and found that it was him. He pressed his chest in shock and breathed a sigh of relief.
, he said bluntly: "Don't let him down."
These four simple words made Xiao Huahua almost burst into tears again. He quickly stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes vigorously, then broke through tears and said with a smile: "Thank you, Sixth Brother."
Ah Liu nodded to Little Peanut, then reached out and rubbed his head, then turned around and went straight back to his mount, jumping onto the horse's back easily and neatly. When Zhang Shou saw the silly smile and touched the back of his head,
Little Peanut, who regained his energy and led the way, couldn't help but glance at Ah Liu again.
Unknowingly, Ah Liu, who is silent most of the time, can actually comfort people! If the person comforting is not Xiaohuahua, a transvestite who used to dress up as a woman, but a real girl, then he can really feel relieved.
Because that means that the boy has finally grown up. Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go...
As for whether Lao Xianyu would run away because of something, Zhang Shou was not worried at all. Because just after he entered the city, he had heard that Zhu Tingfang had continued the previous ban on entry and exit of Cangzhou City.
This effectively prevents relevant people from escaping. As for those who want to leave the city for special reasons, they must go to the county government to report, and Zhu Tingfang must see it with his own eyes and have people escort him personally.
When the three of them finally arrived at the gate of the county government office, they saw only a figure rushing forward like lightning.
