[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

Jiao Shizhi handed Jiao Qiong's letter to Emperor Zhengde the next day.

While Emperor Zhengde was reading the letter, Jiao Shizhi was packing up the memorial beside him.Emperor Zhengde's way of treating memorials was completely nonsense, and he could throw them into the lump next to him, and he needed his servants to clean them up on weekdays.But from yesterday, Emperor Zhengde kicked out all the people serving in the house, and Le Ming, who had just been promoted, disappeared from there.

After finally getting back the memorial in the corner, Emperor Zhengde slapped the letter paper on the table, "I really didn't expect Jiao Fang's character to be so bold. If Jiao Qiong hadn't sold her father, it would have been a long time ago." will be discovered later.”

Jiao Shizhi said: "Jiao Qiong's behavior can be regarded as killing relatives righteously. But if you really plan to ship Jiao Fang, you will know about it sooner or later."

Jiao Fang and Jiao Shizhi belonged to the same family, but they didn't pay much attention to Jiao Fang's affairs, not to mention the difference in seniority, since Jiao Shizhi entered the palace, the feeling of Jiao's family has also faded.The reason why Jiao Qiong found Jiao Shizhi on her wedding day was because of some things Jiao Fang did.

The Jiao family took root in the north, and when Jiao Fang entered the court as an official, he was repeatedly blocked from official career by Peng Hua, Wan An and others. After regaining power, he privately blocked the official career of many southern factions.After becoming a bachelor, he authorized people to prevent several promising officials from being promoted, or transferred, or demoted.

However, as an official, it is common to suppress other factions. Although Jiao Fang is more targeted, it is really hard to say anything about him.However, the matter did not happen here, but in another matter that should have been a trivial matter.

He dispersed a large number of boatmen at Nanjing Treasure Shipyard, and suppressed news about the matter after more than half of Treasure Shipyard was burned down by lightning.Now almost half of the area of ​​the back yard of the shipyard has been damaged. If Emperor Zhengde wants to restart it, it will be difficult.

Nanjing Treasure Shipyard is a shipyard built for Zheng He's voyages to the West in the early Ming Dynasty. The most important thing in it is the manufacture of sea-going ships and those skilled boatmen.If it is rebuilt elsewhere, in addition to the trouble of transportation, it is even more difficult to find those skilled boatmen.The shipbuilding techniques have been passed down from generation to generation among these boatmen, and they should have been well protected. Now that these connections are scattered, it is even more difficult to forge.

Although Emperor Zhengde had sent out sea ships before, they were at most no different from ordinary caravan ships. If they wanted to travel formally, such tonnage would not pass the test.

Emperor Zhengde touched his chin and thought for a while, then Jiao Shizhi said: "Let's wait and see how Jiao Fang plans. His ability is not bad. If he can handle it properly, I don't know about it. If something goes wrong place, it’s never too late to punish.”

Jiao Shizhi frowned, the emperor acted safely this time, but it didn't fit his character.If it was in the past, at least it would have to be beaten.

After he accompanied the emperor to correct the memorial for a long time, Jiao Shizhi suddenly understood, looked at Emperor Zhengde who was still looking down at the memorial and shook his head helplessly, "You don't have to give me special treatment because of me, Mr. Jiaoge, it's not necessary."

Emperor Zhengde didn't even raise his head, and wrote a few sentences on the memorial, and then threw it to the left, "Don't think too much about it, this matter can be big or small, I'm thinking about it for the sake of the court."

Jiao Shizhi chuckled, "If the elders heard what you said now, they would be speechless."

"Don't dampen my enthusiasm so much. If I get so angry, what will you do?" Emperor Zhengde put the brush back to its original position with a smile, stood up and stretched his body, and picked out a memorial from it, " Alright, put Jiao Fang's matter on hold for now, you can read this before we talk about it."

Jiao Shizhi took it, and as soon as he saw the words on it, he felt a little familiar and recognized it.

Lin Xiu's handwriting is still as bad as ever.

Jiao Shizhi couldn't bear the ridicule, but couldn't help showing a smile, and then looked down, but after reading a few lines, his face became serious.

After recovering from her injuries, Lin Xiu only stayed in the capital for a while, and then moved out of the capital, occasionally writing letters to Jiao Shizhi, so Jiao Shizhi knew that he should be in the northwest now.And what he mentioned is also related to this.

As soon as Jiao Shizhi looked up after reading it, Emperor Zhengde said: "The testimony you brought before has already made me vigilant, Lin Xiu... This guy is beyond my expectation, and he will provoke a lot of people wherever he goes. things, but the memorial he sent solved a lot of my doubts."

In Lin Xiu's memorial, it was written about the Northwest.

Tatars have always been a serious threat to the imperial court. During the Hongzhi period, they invaded many times. Later, with the efforts of the trilateral governors, they gradually changed from being suppressed to being evenly matched. However, during the Zhengde period, such intrusions were not uncommon. Being in the military doesn't mean that he likes being beaten up, and he is especially concerned about the vicinity of Ningxia.

And Lin Xiu was in the Ningxia Plain. After several years of observation, he came to an astonishing conclusion. The Tatars knocked down the pass a few years ago, not for the real invasion of the Central Plains, but for military training.

Taking actual combat as training, and the actual combat with such casualties, if it is true, the cunning and ruthlessness of the Tatar leader Dayan Khan cannot be underestimated.And Lin Xiu cited a lot of observations to prove that, perhaps within a few years, a war between the Tatars and the imperial court will break out.

Emperor Zhengde was pacing in the house, with eagerness between his brows, "Tatar's temperament is like a cunning wolf, it doesn't matter if it doesn't move, there must be a plan for it. The situation in Ningxia was indeed dangerous before, but in the end it seemed that it didn't hurt. Itching. I’m still wondering if there’s something wrong with Tatar, if we start with Lin Xiu’s idea, there’s a lot to be done.”

Jiao Shizhi smiled and said: "If you want to kiss the front line, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

Emperor Zhengde raised his eyebrows, "This reminds me of another thing. After the rebellion of King Ning was put down, someone asked Li Dongyang whether it was true or not. There are rumors that I fabricated this incident for the sake of face. This makes me curious, if next time I go out without any officials, and similar things happen again, how do you think it will be recorded in the future?"

Jiao Shizhi thought carefully, and said, "Your relationship with the courtiers is good now, and this is not the case. As for the rumors in the market, since the emperor knows the nature of these people, let the facts prove it and bring a few more people over there." Open their eyes."

"Why do I feel that Shizhi is asking me to bring more guards in a different way." Emperor Zhengde teased, and returned the topic to the original, "Although the enemy can't move, I can't move, but I have been passively beaten. It's not my character, it would be great if I can take the initiative."

Jiao Shizhi said, "It would be a good strategy to take the initiative, but now we don't know the situation of the Tatars, and rashly going deep will not be conducive to our army's actions. Please think twice before proceeding."

"The right words are reasonable." Emperor Zhengde gave up this plan with some regrets.

As soon as this matter was finished, Jiao Shizhi brought up the topic that was avoided by the emperor at the beginning, "Your Majesty, please don't make any assumptions about Mr. Jiao Ge because of my relationship. If so, uh..."

Emperor Zhengde leaned forward and kissed him, pressed the back of his head with one hand, and gently wrapped his arms around Shizhi's waist with the other. After the two lingered for a while, he leaned against Jiao Shizhi's forehead and said, "Who told him that Jiao Fang would know?" Reincarnation, but reincarnated in Jiao's family, this is also a kind of ability, why should Shizhi need to be so worried. Don't worry, I will not let the second Zhang family appear."

Emperor Zhengde's pointed words made Jiao Shizhi angry and funny, and he said helplessly: "If the emperor insists on this, then I can only ask the emperor, if the Jiao family has made a big mistake, please don't show any mercy. You can't let go of the tail. be harmed by it.”

"Okay, but... Did Shizhi forget again, how many times did he call me the emperor just now? You should be punished."

"Don't, no..."

Today is another sunny day.

Although Emperor Zhengde did not make any comments on the affairs of Bao Shipyard on the surface, Jiao Shizhi sent someone to investigate the matter in private, and found out Jiao Fang's actions during this period of time.Although his actions were secretive, in the eyes of Jin Yiwei, spying was a trivial matter, and the news was quickly sent to Jiao Shizhi's desk.

After he was free, Jiao Shizhi had a look at the matter first, and then he was a little relieved.After all, Jiao Fang is not an embroidered pillow. Although she may not be able to bring back all the old teams, she has also found many skilled veterans. Even if the officials come forward, they can do nothing more than this.

Then, when Jiao Fang was about to deal with it, Emperor Zhengde raised the matter in the court at this time. Jiao Shizhi, who was standing beside Emperor Zhengde at that time, clearly noticed the slight change in Jiao Fang's face, and secretly smiled inwardly. Well, the emperor still has such a bad taste, after his voice, even if Jiao Fang wanted to convince him that the emperor didn't know about it, it was almost impossible to do so.

And after the next court, as he expected, Jiao Fang begged to see the emperor.

Jiao Shizhi left the palace with a smile, but encountered a slightly bizarre thing on the way to Beizhen Fusi.

Throughout the ages, incidents of selling one's body to bury one's father have emerged in endlessly, and even in dramas, a stroke is often written to express this feeling of helping each other in the face of injustice.But Jiao Shizhi has never seen such a situation in the capital for so many years.After all, it is at the feet of the emperor, so it is not possible for such a thing to happen.

But today, at the place where Jiao Shizhi often comes and goes, that is, on the official road where courtiers come and go, such an accident happened.

There was a woman who planned to sell her body to bury her father for the sake of her father who died of illness. There is still a reason why such an old-fashioned thing has been passed down for so many years.No, there are still many people around that small grass stall.There are people who intend to give generously, and there are also people who are greedy for sex, and so on, but it is not something that will attract Jiao Shizhi's attention.

If the follow-up development was not too outrageous, causing pedestrians to stop one after another, Jiao Shizhi would not have been blocked on the road and forced to see the whole situation.

Just when someone was about to buy the woman, a man suddenly squeezed in from the crowd, took the woman and ran away, but was stopped halfway and said that the woman was his wife, who was unwell and often acted in a trance.Originally, it was just a reversal like this, but unexpectedly, another man came out not far away, grabbed the woman's other hand, and said that he was the woman's husband.

As a result, there was an uproar immediately, and more and more people were watching. If Jiao Shizhi hadn't brought the red dates now, he would have wanted to step on people's heads and leave.After spending a quarter of an hour here, the people from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion rushed over to evacuate the crowd, and the leader of the guards saw Jiao Shizhi at a glance, and hurried over to apologize repeatedly.

Jiao Shizhi waved his hand and didn't pay much attention to this matter. After arriving at Beizhen Fusi, this matter seemed to be over.

——Just as he was thinking this way, the two men and one woman were handed over to Beizhen Fusi by the people of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

The reason is that one of the men is a member of the royal family, and they dare not be self-confident.

When Jiao Shizhi received such news, he couldn't help crushing his teacup.It would be more appropriate for such a case to be handed over to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but it is probably because of this reason that they rejected it, and it turned out to be pushed in front of him.

But after reading the case carefully, Jiao Shizhi also felt a little overwhelmed.

That woman did have some problems, she would often think that her father had just died, and she would occasionally sneak out of the house after marrying her husband.However, because her husband loved her deeply, he did not dislike her.However, the last time she went missing, she never came back, and when she was found again today, she was selling her body to bury her father on the road. This woman also lost her memory due to the onset of illness, and remarried to the man who accompanied her to sell her body to bury her father .

After reading such a complicated and bloody plot, Jiao Shizhi handed it to Shi Hua directly, "I feel a headache watching it, why don't you tell me the result after you go to the interrogation."

Shi Hua looked uninterested, "My lord, this is a bit overkill."

"Look at the department, is it overkill to ask someone to go? And you are in charge of this aspect, whoever you don't go will go." Jiao Shizhi pushed Shi Hua away, covered his head and moaned, feeling that his spirit had been crushed just now. After a lot of ravages, Shi Huate must have brought it over to him just now with the intention of refusing, but Jiao Shizhi would never step on this trap by himself.

When Jiao Shizhi was about to go back in the evening, Shi Hua came to him with a look of wanting to vomit. It was rare to see such a steady Shi Hua's expression, which made Jiao Shizhi amazed.Shi Hua handed over the materials at hand to Jiao Shizhi, and said with a tired face: "Master Jiao, if there is such a case next time, don't call me again."

Jiao Shizhi smiled and said: "There will be no next time. I have already sent someone to warn the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. If it is not because the person involved has the status of the royal family, I will not accept it."

Shi Hua said next to him, "The first husband was the concubine of the Dai Wang, and the Dai Wang didn't care much about him. He married his wife after the divorce. After his wife left, he went out of the fief in private to look around. The second The husband used to be a hooligan. He was imprisoned for several years and started a small business after he got out. Their crimes were not very serious, that is, they were just disturbing order. But the key lies in one daughter and two marriages."

The law cannot be comprehensive in every aspect, and so is this matter.

After counting carefully, there is only one rule of etiquette that barely conforms: Although there is no marriage certificate, but those who have been hired for money, if they promise to others, those who are not married, the stick will be seventy.Those who are married have eighty sticks.Those who are destined to marry later, if they know about it, are guilty of the same crime, they will enter the official with a gift.

But this situation is different from the law. The woman herself has no memory of her first marriage, and although the second husband knows that she has been married, he does not know the details.

Jiao Shizhi turned to the end, looked at the two men's narration, and asked in surprise: "Are both of them willing to take her back?"

Shi Hua nodded, "This woman has a docile personality. Apart from her mental problems, she is a lady. Whether it is for face or for other reasons, at least these two people say so."

Jiao Shizhi said: "In this case, the three of you will be locked up for half a month first. The behavior of the woman and the married woman is deceitful, and the charges will be increased. You can deal with it however you want. As for the ownership of the woman, according to the law, it belongs to her ex-husband. Let's close the case."

Shi Hua nodded without hesitation. It is naturally a good thing to close the case as soon as possible.

When going back at night, when Jiao Shizhi was talking with Emperor Zhengde, he accidentally mentioned this matter, which aroused Emperor Zhengde's interest, "Why did Shizhi make such a judgment? You must know that the ex-husband probably did it for the sake of fame." He will bring someone back, and the second husband is more likely to treat her sincerely." After all, he married her knowing that she was married, so there should be affection.

Jiao Shizhi said, "No matter who is awarded to this woman, it will not be a good thing for her. In this case, the woman lost her memory, but according to the law, if a woman marries twice, it must be attributed to her ex-husband. It belongs to those who marry later, and this cannot be changed."

"And I don't think her second husband is any better. Since she really knew that her wife had a health problem, why did she really let her sell herself to bury her father? It's hard to say who will get the money later. , if he is really the pawn wife, the crime is even greater, but there is no evidence now. If so, it is a better choice to attribute it to the ex-husband. "

Emperor Zhengde supported his face with one hand, looked at Jiao Shizhi and said with a light smile, "It seems that if the second husband is okay, you will choose to belong to him?"

Jiao Shizhi reached out and handed the brewed teacup to Emperor Zhengde, "That's natural. It's hard for a woman to live in this world. If it can be alleviated a little bit, it's not a big deal to make a small exception."

Emperor Zhengde said with a smile, "Besides the rule of law, you should be humane, but you may be involved in this matter. It seems that I will pay attention to this news in the next two days."

Jiao Shizhi raised his head blankly, not understanding what Emperor Zhengde meant.

Emperor Zhengde took a sip of the teacup, "Shi Zhi, although you are acting in accordance with the law, as far as I know, in this case, the woman will be sunk in the pond. Even if it is not, the staff will be responsible It is also fatal, and often no one will survive. If you stay by my side, your every move will be magnified and considered by others, which may cause criticism."

Only then did Jiao Shizhi understand what Emperor Zhengde meant, and he shook his head helplessly, "I didn't think of this, since they didn't know about it, they couldn't generalize it. Besides, since men can take concubines, why aren't women allowed to have male favourites?"

Zhu Houzhao was drinking tea, when Jiao Shizhi's words hit him, he immediately coughed and choked to death on the tea.Jiao Shizhi got up and patted his back, "Why are you drinking in such a hurry?" Then he took a handkerchief to help him clean up the water stains all over his body.

Emperor Zhengde looked at Jiao Shizhi, who was squatting in front of him, and said wronged: "Obviously what you said is shocking, otherwise I wouldn't be so out of control. The civil and military officials also said that I acted recklessly, I think Shizhi Don't give in too much!"

Jiao Shizhi smiled and said, "I am the same as before, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhengde remembered that when he was in front of Yang Tinghe, Jiao Shizhi answered without hesitation, and patted Jiao Shizhi's hand with a smile, "Shizhi is so considerate, so remember to be considerate to me."

Jiao Shizhi: ...

What's the matter with such a dangerous atmosphere? !

……

Emperor Zhengde's words were very predictable. After all, this matter was widely circulated in the market, and Beizhen Fusi didn't pay much attention to it. The verdict came out, and a large number of judges were soon in place, which made Jiao Shizhi feel the long-lost feeling of being punished. scold life.Those who spoke the most violently were those in Dali Temple. After hearing it a few times, Jiao Shizhi replied coolly, "The Fusi of Beizhen doesn't care about the short things of these parents, and I don't know who is unwilling to take over. Throw us the hot potato."

Everything related to the vassal king is very troublesome, and it is normal for Dali Temple to be unwilling to take over.But let him jump out after taking over?

There is no such thing.

Jiao Shizhi's words made them speechless, but they were indignant. At this time, the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice came out. Impatiently, he flung his face at the court, "According to what you said, my aunts with face heads must all die too? If this is the case, I will order Jin Yiwei to collect evidence and hand it over to you how?"

Yanguan: ... Can the royal family be the same as ordinary people? !

It's a pity that they couldn't utter such words. After all, they were the ones who said a few days ago that the common people had committed the same crime as the prince. Now they slapped themselves in the face to refute, and following the emperor's words was to die. It was a dilemma.

But after this time, it finally stopped.

Jiao Shizhi breathed a sigh of relief, it's really not a good thing to be stared at all the time, he always feels uncomfortable doing anything.Originally, he was thinking of letting Jin Yiwei collect the information he had collected earlier, and believed that their wonderful backyard would also cause a wave of excited condemnation, but it was just right that the emperor ended the matter early.

On this day, he walked out of Beizhen Fusi with red dates. Not long after he walked out, he was stopped by a carriage at the corner. I would like to thank you, and if my lord is willing to get in the car, the master will be very grateful."

Jiao Shizhi frowned, the way the coachman spoke was a bit strange, but following his words, a corner of the curtain on the carriage was lifted, and Jiao Shizhi immediately recognized who it was.He was the ex-husband in the previous case, and one of the people who caused Jiao Shizhi to be chased and scolded for more than half a month.

The man said with a gentle smile, "If my lord is willing to get in the car, I would be very grateful."

Jiao Shizhi thought for a while, and then got into the carriage. Now that he had plenty of time, and he was the younger brother of a feudal prince, if he stayed any longer, he might be noticed, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.

Hongzao is spiritual, and after Jiao Shi got on the carriage, he has been following the carriage, just watching curiously.Jiao Shizhi realized something was wrong after getting in the car, the existence of Hongzao seemed to be shouting loudly that he was here, so it was a mistake.

Jiao Shizhi remembered that the name of the person in front of him seemed to be Zhu Jian, but it was definitely not his real name.Jiao Shizhi remembered that Ming Taizu had set the ordering names for all the princes in the future, and there could be no two-character names.

When Jiao Shizhi was looking at him, Zhu Jian was also looking at Jiao Shizhi.After a long time, he bowed down deeply, and it was regarded as kneeling down.Jiao Shizhi was taken aback, even though the person in front of him was just a concubine of a vassal king, he was much more noble than him in terms of status.Although he was not very sensitive to these after staying with the emperor for a long time, Jiao Shizhi couldn't accept it when he was suddenly saluted.

Zhu Jian got up and said with a smile: "Lord Jiao, don't panic, I just want to express my gratitude. If it weren't for Lord Jiao, my wife might not be able to save her life."

Jiao Shizhi's brows loosened slightly, it was because of this, "I'm just acting according to the law, you don't have to."

Zhu Jian laughed softly, "Hehe, I also know the rumors in the market. If Mr. Jiao hadn't been merciful, this matter would not have ended like this. I thought that I might never return after entering the Beizhen Fusi, but I didn't expect Jiao My lord doesn't seem to want to be so ruthless as rumored."

"I know Mr. Jiao has a noble character, and he doesn't want to accept property. But this is a pastry made by my wife. I hope you don't dislike it."

Zhu Jian ingeniously gave Jiao Shizhi an unexpected gift.

Jiao Shizhi looked at the fine food box pushed in front of him, and said in a low voice, "You don't seem to care about what happened before?" This question was very rude, but at this moment, Jiao Shizhi didn't know Why, I especially want to know his answer.

Zhu Jian seemed to have expected to be questioned like this a long time ago, and said with a slight smile: "my wife was stimulated in the prison, and when she came back, she recovered her memory. She was also in tears about this matter, and even tried to commit suicide. But I have been looking for her for three years , but not for such an ending.”

"Perhaps the world thinks that such a woman should be immersed in a pig cage, but why don't men hug each other and do such prudish things? Amnesia is beyond control, but that man is really hateful, and I have already taken revenge."

He said the bloody thing lightly, and his anxious heart did not fluctuate.Although there was no evidence for what the person in front of him said, those eyes made Jiao Shizhi believe that he was not lying. In this case, such a man should indeed be killed.

"I will accept this gift. As for other things, you don't need to be polite." Jiao Shizhi said.

When he got out of the car, Jiao Shi looked at the city gate not far away with a bewildered face, turned his head to look at Zhu Jian, Zhu Jian laughed loudly, "We are already scheduled to travel today, this time I was thinking about whether I could meet you, and if there is a destiny, I will naturally send it out. Mr. Jiao, please take care of me, so let’s say goodbye.”

Jiao Shizhi watched the carriage meet another carriage parked on the side of the road, and saw him get down from the carriage to welcome a weak woman with a gentle expression on his face.The two quickly got into the carriage again and joined the team going out of Beijing.

Jiao Shizhi stood there for a while, stretched out his hand to touch the red dates that came over, and led her back.

With Zhu Jian doing this, he wants to go back now, and the time is not as easy as before.

When Jiao Shizhi returned to the palace, the food box in his hand was inspected for a long time before it was released, which happened to save Jiao Shizhi trouble.Although Zhu Jian seems to have no problem, if there is an emergency, then... be careful, there is no big mistake.

He went to the leopard room with the food box. When Jiao Shizhi was seen by Emperor Zhengde, he happened to come out of the study and rubbed over to look at the things in Jiao Shizhi's hand, "What did Shizhi bring? I saw you bring something to the palace."

Jiao Shizhi thought that it was also because he never thought of bringing things into the palace.In the past, I was worried that the emperor would be easily incited by these things, and wanted to leave the palace more and more. In the past two years, it was because there was no need.The emperor himself would often go out.

"This is Zhu Jian, who was sent by the son of the king who was involved in the case before." Jiao Shizhi said the matter casually, and Emperor Zhengde noticed the food box mentioned by Jiao Shizhi, and ran away happily I took a few glances in the past.

When checking outside, Jiao Shizhi had already seen what was inside, and it was indeed very exquisite.

He casually twisted one and ate it, slightly surprised by the taste, "Compared with the ones I made before, I don't know how much better this taste is."

Emperor Zhengde smiled, leaned next to him and took one and ate it, "I think the food made by Shizhi is much more delicious than other people's."

Jiao Shizhi smiled and shook his head, "It's not fair for you to do this." His skills are only entry-level, and they can't compare to this pastry.Even the royal chef in the palace can't compare.

Speaking of which, Emperor Zhengde once planned to replace all the imperial cooks in the palace after leaving the palace, but Jiao Shizhi later proposed to give them time to improve.And under this pressure, the royal chef in the palace also had to change accordingly. Things in the past two years have really improved a lot compared to before.

Even Zhu Houzhao once said: "After eating what I make now, I think it was made for pigs in the past." Of course, this sentence has a double meaning, and he himself was very happy after saying it.

"Appropriate, let's go to the dining room."

Emperor Zhengde suddenly got up, pulled Jiao Shizhi into the dining room, and waved all the people inside to retreat, "I've never touched this before, so let's make our own meals tonight."

Jiao Shizhi: ...

He looked at the appearance of cooking smoke in various places, and he knew that the dishes were being cooked here just now, and it was not far from completion.I feel a little relieved, it doesn't matter if the emperor knows how to cook, if I don't have time to come up with something later, those imperial chefs can also fill my stomach with the cooking.

But in the end Jiao Shizhi still bargained with the emperor and left a few helpers.After all, Jiao Shizhi couldn't imagine the emperor killing fish at all.

They spent half an hour in the dining room, and then Jiao Shizhi pulled Zhu Houzhao, who was in a panic, out of the dining room, coughing and asking people to go in and deal with it.

"Appropriate, I don't believe it, let me go in again."

"The stoves inside are all burned out, you'd better talk about it in a few days."

Emperor Zhengde looked depressed and was pushed by Jiao Shizhi to take a bath, and Jiao Shizhi went back to check the situation, and saw Le Xiao standing at the door of the dining room to watch the situation.

Le Xiao is the eunuch who was re-promoted after Le Ming.He is a straightforward person, and he quickly cleaned up the remaining problems in the leopard room.

Emperor Zhengde was very satisfied with him.

"My lord, the inside has been dealt with." Le Xiao bowed and said to him.

Jiao Shizhi looked at the messy look inside and smiled wryly. He thought it was a hard job, but he didn't expect the emperor's lethality to be greater than him.

In the future, don't let the emperor enter the dining room.

Jiao Shizhi thought about the emperor's refusal to admit defeat just now, and said silently.

After half a month, Jiao Shizhi suddenly received a gift.

It's not a valuable thing, but it seems inexplicable.

He was playing with the small jade bottle in his hand, the smooth appearance made him feel very warm.There is only one pill in this small jade bottle, but it exudes an endless fragrance. Just taking a sip of it makes me feel comfortable all over, it seems extraordinary.

This thing was delivered directly to his mansion, and it was rare for Jiao Shizhi to go back once. After the concierge delivered this thing, Jiao Shizhi thought about the recent affairs for a long time, and could only leave it to Zhu Jian.

But why did he send someone to do this after leaving?Jiao Shizhi had asked, this thing was delivered quietly three days ago, if it wasn't written on the signature, it would be given to Jiao Shizhi.The concierge had already been terrified to dispose of it.

But if it wasn't for him, who would send this thing over?Jiao Shizhi was slightly puzzled.

After he fell asleep at night, Jiao Shizhi seemed to have a dream in a daze. When he woke up, he couldn't remember what the previous dream was about, but he seemed to have lingering fears, and his eyes fell on the girl who was killed last night. He randomly placed it on the small jade bottle beside the table.

He found a free time and found a doctor in the most famous pharmacy in the capital, hoping that he could clear up his doubts and tell Jiao Shizhi what the pill was.

The old doctor with white beard looked at it tremblingly for a long time, then sniffed it carefully, stroked his beard and said: "I really can't see what this is, and I can hardly smell what it is made of. But there is one medicine that can be smelled, and that is goblins."

"Goblin is rare and precious. Although the medicine has a mild effect, no one uses it as an adjuvant, but here it seems to be just an inconspicuous thing. Either this medicine is a great tonic and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life; It's life-threatening, or life is worse than death."

The old doctor was delighted to see Lie Xin, and tried to buy the medicine for research, but Jiao Shizhi shook his head and refused, and came out again with it in his pocket.In order to come out so as not to attract attention, Jiao Shizhi changed his clothes specially.At this time, the doubts were not resolved, and I asked again, which is really puzzling.

After hesitating again and again, he did not inform Emperor Zhengde of this matter.

At dusk, Jiao Shizhi returned to the leopard room, and after walking a few steps, he smelled a faint smell of paste. As soon as his heart moved, he saw Xiao Dezi running out holding his nose, crying when he saw Jiao Shizhi. Shouted: "My lord, go and stop the emperor, this dining room is on fire again!"

Jiao Shizhi: ...
