The group’s favorite Xiao Long Bao: seven brothers and uncles love it to the extreme

Chen Xuanzhi's father, Chen Du, was proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, but was sparse in reading and writing. He was a complete idiot.

But one thing is that he looks first-class, especially after being recruited as his son-in-law by the official lady. When he wears silk and satin on his body, he looks even more beautiful.

Although Chen Xuanzhi was almost ten years old when he divorced his wife and married another. But because she got married early, she was only twenty-seven or eighty years old at that time.

Over the years, due to proper maintenance and smooth life, Chen Du looks younger and younger.

He was so coaxed that his wife actually asked him to donate money to give him an official position through her connections.

In fact, donating officials was very common in the previous dynasty.

However, in the Yujin Dynasty, the founding sage felt that these messy things corrupted the society, so he strictly prohibited official donation.

Later, one of the saints opened the official donation ceremony, because that day there was a severe drought and then floods, and the people in the world were in dire straits.

The sage listened to the ministers' opinions and allowed people to donate money to officials, and the money collected was used for disaster relief.

Donating officials has been around since ancient times. One is donating actual official titles, and the other is donating false titles.

His Majesty just agreed to donate a false title, which is just an honorary title. You can only wear official clothes, use official vehicles and horses, and use deacons, etc.

There is no real power at all.

However, these people didn't know how to be an official. They all wanted to have a good background, look good in the family tree, and benefit future generations.

At least he has an official background.

The sage agreed that time, but some people in later generations also wanted to follow suit and secretly bought and sold officials.

The late emperor had arrested a group of them during his dynasty, and the incident caused a big fuss and even involved the harem.

The former dynasty was in chaos, the harem was strife, and countless officials were involved.

It was the late emperor who made a decisive decision and immediately killed the leader and everyone else who was implicated.

It is said that the blood flowed in the court, and this evil wind was stopped.

What I hate the most today is that back then, the late emperor’s favorite concubine’s mother-in-law secretly bought and sold officials, forming cliques for personal gain, and almost deposed him as the crown prince.

Fortunately, the late emperor was still conscious and did not let tragedy happen.

Unexpectedly, someone would want to have this idea now.

But I can imagine what would happen if someone found out about it.

So after Chen Xuanzhi overheard this incident, Chen Du killed Chen Xuanzhi for the sake of his own future and life.

How can a man who is romantic by nature and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun be affectionate towards his first wife? If he had any sense of benevolence, he would not abandon his wife and son for a new love.

What's more, the wife behind him was not only rich and powerful, and allowed him to go out to fame, but also gave birth to a son and a daughter. He had no feelings for Chen Xuanzhi at all.

It was under such circumstances that Chen Xuanzhi hurriedly went to Beijing to participate in the scientific examination that year.

Otherwise, he should wait for the next term and another three years to settle down.

Chen Xuanzhi entered the capital incognito all the way, but was blocked from the door because of the pawn ticket. He gave up all hope of detonating the bomb. Fortunately, he met Chang Maoming. After the two met and learned Chang Maoming's identity, Chen Xuanzhi told the whole story.

Chang Maoming was about the same age as Chen Xuanzhi. At that time, he was not yet the chief spy of the Holy Emperor, so he could only tell his brother Chang Maozhi about the matter.

Under Chang Maozhi's operation, he sent people to secretly investigate the matter, and indeed found out a lot of things.

Chen Du's matter was already a trivial matter. A series of chain relationships followed, and finally a major case was discovered, and even two first-rank officials in the court were pulled down.

All those involved in this case, those who were copied, those who were killed, and those who had anything to do with it will be expelled and will never be used again.

But it was a major case more than ten years ago.

After listening to what Chang Maoming said, everyone here realized that this case was actually related to the prefect Chen.

"Then Mr. Chen is considered very lucky." Ma Daoye said.

Next to him, Yun Chengzi also nodded.

Despite his unfortunate fate, he was able to successfully go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and met Chang Maoming to help him.

This is not very fateful.

"Then you two should have a very good relationship."

Chang Maoming smiled bitterly, "In the past, it looked really good. But today..."

Over the years, he and Chen Xuanzhi have often exchanged letters, but they have not met many times, mainly because Chang Maoming is very busy.

In the past few years, this was the only time the two of them had met.

When he arrived yesterday, it was already late at night, and he quickly fell into a coma.

During this meal tonight, Chang Maoming immediately saw the clues.

Even if Chen Xuanzhi is a master of the government, how much salary can he get in a year?

But this table of washing dishes is worth three to five hundred taels of silver.

After all, the Chang family where Chang Maozhi lives seems to be extremely wealthy. Many of the things he has been accustomed to eating since he was a child can be roughly calculated with just a quick glance.

This kind of banquet is not something Chen Xuanzhi can get casually.

And now that he has taken it out, he is not afraid of Chang Maozhi falling out, which is even more problematic.

It shows that the other party is confident.

But why is Chen Xuanzhi so confident?

Even if he is not officially serving in the court, he is still the dignified second master of Zhen Yuanbo Mansion.

Later, Chang Maoming knew why the other party was so confident.

Because the food on their table had been poisoned.

Chen Xuanzhi actually poisoned him!

Chang Maoming was shocked and angry. He now wanted to question Chen Xuanzhi, how could he become like this after so many years apart?

Is the relationship between their brothers gone for many years?
