After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

The emperor sat in the imperial study room, with a book on his head and a brush in his hand.Lu Yao brought him a cup of tea, and softly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu and Lord Hou have already dealt with matters in Qingzhou. With them here, the Emperor can rest assured."

"How can I rest assured! If the flood is not resolved for one more day, the people there will suffer for one more day. And the corrupt officials over there...they have performed a full 58 episodes in the name of the people. When they finish these 58 episodes , the day lily is cold..." the emperor muttered.

Lu Yao couldn't persuade him either, so he could only silently exit the Imperial Study Room.As soon as she came out, she saw a young man wearing a phoenix belt carrying a jar.Seeing the young man, she said pleasantly, "Young Master Zhou, you are here? Go in and persuade the emperor."

Zhou Xun nodded and went in by himself.

The emperor was still irritable at first, but when he saw Zhou Xun coming in, his eyes lit up instantly: "Why are you here? Aren't we going to avoid suspicion during this time? Hey, sit down, sit down."

"I brought some soup for the emperor." Zhou Xun said.

Emperor: "Soup?"

"I heard that the emperor is very hurt recently." Zhou Xun said with a smile, "so I made some fish soup."

emperor:! !

"Oh my God, is this what it feels like to have a daughter-in-law?" The emperor murmured, "Our family is worth a lifetime!"

Zhou Xun blushed a little and opened the crock.The dark and viscous soup in the crock appeared before the eyes of the emperor.

The emperor's expression of surprise froze on his face: ...

"Hey, what are you stewing?" The emperor tremblingly said, "Why is it black... cuttlefish? The one with ink?"

"It's not cuttlefish, it's black fish." Zhou Xun said, "But it should be similar, right?"

He didn't feel that the soup he stewed was black, so there was nothing wrong with it.As the saying goes, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen.Zhou Xun has been studying since he was a child, and he has never cooked before.But after all, he is better than the man surnamed Lin who directly puts the whole tomato and the whole piece of meat into the pressure cooker and boils it in clear water. He knows how to cut things, add seasonings, and then cook them...

As for why the boiled food was black, Zhou Xun didn't know.But he thought, since black fish is called black fish, maybe it is because the soup it cooks is black.And just now, the emperor's sentence "Could it be cuttlefish", reflected from the side that the cuttlefish soup was indeed black, which further strengthened his guess.

Cuttlefish, black fish, the names are so similar, they should be dyed, and they should be dyed (blackened) to the soup.

And although he has never cooked before, he heard that the soup should be thicker.And his soup...is so thick that it is almost sticky, presumably, it meets the standard of "thick".

emperor:……

Zhou Xun: "What's the matter... Doesn't it look delicious?"

As he said that, Zhou Xun was about to use the spoon himself, and the emperor held Zhou Xun's spoon with the feeling that he couldn't see his daughter-in-law die in front of him on the spot because of the poison test: "No, no, it seems... "

Zhou Xun looked up at him.

Emperor: "...very good."

Zhou Xun was silent for a while when he heard his words, and then smiled brightly.With a smile, his brows and eyes are curved, the corners of his mouth are curved, and his eyes are full of light.

The emperor immediately knew how to write the sentence "the most difficult to bear the grace of a beauty".

It turns out that when a person smiles, there is really light on his face... No wonder in ancient times, the old boy Zhou Youwang lit the beacon tower because of Baosi's smile.Who can resist the smile of a beauty, especially the one he loves?Now with Zhou Xun's smile... If he doesn't drink the soup, he won't be considered a man!If you are a man, you should show the passion of sacrificing your life for righteousness, and you can't make the person who smiles and gives soup sad like this!

The Emperor passionately dipped his spoon into the black goo, and...

emperor:……

He felt that his own spoon was a bit difficult just to move in this basin of things.

difficult.

"Don't drink it, I know this stew is terrible, right?" Instead, Zhou Xun said softly, "It's my first time cooking, so I don't know much about it."

The emperor immediately said with a strong will to survive: "You don't understand. If you are a man, you can't say that the soup your wife made for you for the first time is bad. This is the dignity of a man!"

"Forget it." Seeing Xiao Lizi secretly gossiping at the door, Zhou Xun called him over, "Please trouble Eunuch Li to pour out the soup."

When Xiao Lizi saw the substance in the soup, the expression on his face was slightly distorted.The emperor was still sparing no effort to flatter: "There are good things in the soup, what a pity and waste, then take it, take it..."

He thought for a while, and said, "Take it to water the flowers! Give the flowers nourishment!"

Xiao Lizi: ...What did Hua do wrong!

Little Lizi walked away tremblingly carrying the basin of black water.The emperor paused for a while, and comforted Zhou Xun: "Don't be sad, at least you gave me a new inspiration."

Zhou Xun glanced at him: "What inspiration?"

The emperor said: "Sweeping black and evil must be thorough."

Zhou Xun: ...

...

Zhou Xun couldn't help coughing.The emperor quickly changed the subject: "Look at the report sent back by the envoy in black. Now Qingzhou is colluding with officials and businessmen, and it is in chaos. And the prefect over there is very capable, and he has kept the accounts for many years without leaking."

Zhou Xun took a look at the information, frowned and said, "Actually, it's easy to kill the magistrate directly. But killing him won't do anything. We still have to find evidence and uproot them."

Emperor: "Yes."

"...I have to find a way to find Qingzhou's yin and yang account book. This is the most important thing. With the account book, all the root systems that secretly collude can be located and dug out." Zhou Xun tapped with his fingers The table said, "Is there such a talent in the Black Clothes Envoy?"

"...It seems, no?" The emperor said sincerely, "They seem to be only good at killing people and making explosions."

Zhou Xun: ...

"We have to find a way to find and steal the account book from the Qingzhou prefect's house..." The emperor thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Yes!"

"what?"

"I really remembered a person, that person is a thief who is good at stealing things and hunting for treasure!" The emperor said excitedly, "Speaking of that person, you should also remember it."

Zhou Xun blinked, and the emperor said: "At the beginning in Jiangzhou, Miss Zhang's hometown, the hero saved the beauty, let Zhang go away in private, and pretended to be Miss Zhang to get married. When Lu Xiandao opened the sedan chair curtain, he found a woman sitting inside. The male one. It’s that grand thief named Bai..."

"Bai Yuxing?" Zhou Xun thought for a while, and remembered this person, "Later, Lu Xiandao locked him back up again, right? I haven't seen him for a while, is he always in prison?"

"Yes, this is the man who is very good at stealing things. But you can't tell him to steal things now." The emperor smiled enigmatically.

Zhou Xun:?

The emperor: "You should call him Daosheng! He was appointed just a few days ago. He relied on the news and help of a few friends on the road to go to a small country in the south, and came back from there, bringing back a kind of local rice that is very good. The Ministry of Industry is busy researching and promoting it."

Zhou Xun: "... Dao Sheng."

"I originally thought of giving him a title next week." The emperor slapped his thigh, "Let him go out now and go to Qingzhou to look for it, and steal Qingzhou's account book back!"

……

After returning to the capital, Bai Yuxing didn't go out to meet people, but was so tired that he slept in the mansion given to him by the emperor for three whole days, and didn't get up until the sun was high.He slumped down from upstairs, sat on the threshold, biting a straw, his face full of pride and vigor.Sure enough, the emperor kept his promise, and there is no more arrest warrant for him today, and the jewels and rewards have also arrived.

"Brother is also a member of the imperial court now!" He looked at the swallows flying in the sky, thinking about the bird that looked like an eagle, and couldn't help but think of a certain dead face. That dead face should be in the guard now. On duty, "Dead face, I can't think of it, I'm a rice saint now, hehehe, I see how you will catch me in the future?"

Thinking about it like this, he felt that he had a very good reason to meet Lu Xiandao.As early as on the way back, he had already figured out where he was going when he returned to the city - first to meet his majestic little moon girl - Zhang Lingsu, and see how the girl was doing recently.Then, go to Lu Xiandao's place and have a good time.Let this dead face take a good look at the medals on his body now!

Thinking of this, he said to the butler behind him: "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

"Hey, good!" said the housekeeper, "Do you want to bring anything?"

Bai Yuxing thought for a while and said, "I'll go back to the house and get something."

Bai Yuxing went back to the house.He first put the medal given to him by the emperor around his neck, and then took the trophy with the words "Sage of Rice" in his hand.If it weren't for the inconvenience of picking up the plaque in the sky, he wished he could carry his own plaque to the Jiangwei Guard Center, so that the cold Lu Xiandao would be surprised.

He arrived at the Jiangwei Guard with arrogance and arrogance. All the way, he was thinking about Lu Xiandao's expression when he saw him.The cold dead face should show some admiration this time, right?Well...maybe there is no admiration, but surprise, there should be something, right?

Bai Yuxing thought majestically all the way, when he met Lu Xiandao, he would first casually show him the trophy in his hand, and then casually mention that the emperor granted him a house after seeing him, canceling it. His arrest warrant, in the future, he will also be a member of the imperial court... By the way, what kind of official is Dao Sheng, will Lu Xiandao have to salute him when he meets him in the future?

Speaking of which, the officials saluted...are they going to kneel down?

"Forget it, forget it, forget it." Bai Yuxing felt himself muttering loudly. He remembered Lu Xiandao standing outside the prison looking at him, with his waist and legs straight and majestic. "He's still standing It's better, Ben Daosheng is very generous, regardless of how many times he took me back."

But after thinking about it, he felt that it might not be a matter of Lu Xiandao's salute to him in the future... Don't look at what he said happily now, when he meets someone, this medal can only make him cowardly slower.

He thought about it for a long time, and he didn't even realize that he didn't think of others at all.But when he arrived at the guard, he heard He Liang say: "Master Lu went to Qingzhou to investigate the case."

"Ah? Go to Qingzhou..." Bai Yuxing was a little disappointed, "Then when will he come back?"

He Liang said: "It's half a month at least, and a few months later."

Bai Yuxing: ...

"A few months? I will be banned in a few days, and he will come back in a few months. Isn't my daylily cold?!" Bai Yuxing muttered, "If I don't go sooner or later, why? Why not go at this time."

Bai Yuxing left the guard again with regrets in his heart.Being able to become a "rice sage" and complete the emperor's mission was originally a very happy thing, and the shiny medals and trophies are also very happy.But he didn't know why, but he couldn't be happy all the way.

When he returned to the White Mansion, the butler saw him back and served him dinner again. While eating, the butler asked him, "Master, how is Miss Zhang?"

Bai Yuxing was poking the lion's head with his chopsticks, when he heard his words, he shivered.

Yes, how is the little moon?Didn't he want to go to see the little moon when he went out today?Why is this coming back?

But before he put on his coat and went out, another person came to the door.The person who came was Xiao Lizi, with a respectful expression: "Master Bai, the emperor invites you to enter the palace to have a talk."

……

"Steal the account book?? The account book??" Sitting beside the emperor, Bai Yuxing yelled, "Go to Jiangnan and steal the account book??"

Emperor: "It's not Jiangnan, it's Qingzhou."
