I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Han Qi looked very refined while eating, and it could be seen that he was very well-bred. When Slender Changyu held chopsticks, it looked more beautiful than holding a brush.

If he went to the modern world, he would definitely be able to attract fans and make money doing food and broadcasting like this.There are all kinds of beauties in the live broadcast circle, dazzlingly numerous, but there are very few handsome guys with special characteristics. Han Qi is definitely a scarce resource and can explode.

The shredded ham is complete with meat and vegetables, fresh and crisp without losing the fragrance of the meat. It is the same as the shredded chicken wonton last time. Although it is just an ordinary home-cooked meal, it has a delicate flavor and makes the stomach warm and comfortable.

Seeing Cui Tao looking at him all the time, Han Qi put down his chopsticks and asked her casually, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about my life dream. If I were a Korean pusher, it would be easily realized."

"Life dream?"

"Eating and drinking recklessly every day can still make money." Cui Tao couldn't help showing envious and longing eyes when he was feeling emotional.

Han Qi knew that his current situation did not meet what Cui Tao said.So she should have obsessed about what else he did in her head before she came to this conclusion.

"That's not my joy."

Cui Tao agreed: "I just think about it casually. Han Tuiguan is busy with business all day long, so I can see that Han Tuiguan's happiness is in the court, in his official career, in the world, and in the common people. "

Han Qi glanced back at Cui Tao, smiled lightly and said, "Not necessarily."

"Anything else?" Cui Tao looked at Han Qi with interest.

Han Qi didn't answer. After wiping his hands, he thanked Cui Tao quietly.

"Officer Han Tui is too polite. I haven't thanked you for your letter of pleading for me. If not, I'll take care of all the food when Tui Han is in Kaifeng Mansion in the future, how about it?" Cui Tao He patted his chest, and suggested very happily.

Han Qi smiled, neither agreed nor refused.

Cui Tao couldn't figure out what he meant.It would be great if I promised, I'm used to the food she cooks, I'm sure it will make him addicted.When he gets caught in her short mouth, it will be easier for Cui Tao to ask Han Qi for something.

"You can do whatever you want," Han Qi said quietly.

Cui Tao: "..."

What a monkey spirit!

You did it, and it was you who took the initiative to express your gratitude, and he didn't ask for it.If you don't do it, it means that what you said before is empty words, and the so-called gratitude is not sincere.

As expected of a man in the officialdom, Zhou Quan!

Fortunately, she didn't intend to play with these language skills at all. She relied on her technical strength, which made people surrender.

"As long as the official Han Tui doesn't think I'm causing trouble." Cui Tao happily agreed, and put away the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"You don't want to mention to outsiders about your role as the courtesan in Tianxiang Tower." Han Qi said suddenly.

Cui Tao froze for a moment, then looked at Han Qi in puzzlement.

"Wang Zhao and Li Yuan have already been instructed by me."

Cui Tao finally understood that Han Qi was concerned about her reputation.

"I don't care about these things. Anyway, I'm a female prisoner now, and I won't marry anyone. Besides, I only work as an internal response to maintain the safety of Tokyo City. This peace and stability has always been bought with other people's blood and sacrifices. They should all be proud of me, and anyone who feels ashamed has no conscience, but whatever they say about me, anyway, I don't care about those barking dogs."

Those who are clear are self-clear, Cui Tao has always been a man who only wants to have a clear conscience, let alone live under the lips of others.

"You're right, but three people become tigers, and it's always good to take precautions. Who said you will be a female prisoner for the rest of your life?" Han Qi asked Cui Tao not to be serious about this matter. It's over and it's no big deal if you don't mention it.

Cui Tao thought about what Han Qi said was right, and sighed to Han Qi, "The wisdom of the people is not yet enlightened, I still need to work hard", then turned her head and left.

Han Qi frowned slightly, before he had time to think about it, he saw Cui Tao suddenly turned back and looked at him from the door.

"In ancient times, there was Hua Mulan who served in the army for her father, and now there is Cui Tao who serves as an assistant in the Tianxiang Tower in Taiping, Tokyo. They are both heroines, right? Are there any differences between us?"

Han Qi was startled, then shook his head, indicating that there was no difference.

"That's good, I'll cook for Han Tuiguan in the future." If the three views don't agree, you don't deserve to eat my meal!

Cui Tao then quickly entered the room, and took away the empty bowls and chopsticks on the table, which she forgot to take when she left just now.

Han Qi: "..."

In the deserted courtyard.

When Wang Siniang and Ping'er saw Cui Tao coming back with an empty plate and bowl, one was happy and the other was disappointed.

"Guess wrong? Hurry up and bring your head closer." Wang Siniang opened her mouth in a gesture and breathed on her fingers, preparing to touch Ping'er's head.

Ping'er reluctantly put her head in front of Wang Siniang, and closed her eyes in fright before Wang Siniang was about to make a move.

There were three hits in total, each hit firmly on the forehead, the pain made Ping'er take a cold breath, her eyes were red, and she quickly rubbed her head with her hands when she was done.

"Bet me?" Cui Tao handed the tray to Wang Siniang, and sat on the recliner under the plane tree.

"We bet to guess whether Han Tuiguan will eat the food cooked by Mrs. Cui. If Ping'er doesn't believe it, I guess it will."

Wang Siniang handed over the tray in her hand to Pinger, telling her that she lost and she should continue to work and wash the dishes.

"It seems that I understand the situation. Ping'er thinks that people like Han Tuiguan are unlikely to be willing to eat food made by people of our origin. They should pay attention to their status and be arrogant to the bone. But I said it's okay. It's so complicated, if Mrs. Cui cooks it delicious, eat it, who can resist such a delicious taste!"

Cui Tao was delighted, and couldn't help but look at Wang Siniang, looking at the five big and three rough, who seemed to be aggressive and unreasonable, but actually had their own insights and ideas.

"I see that with your personality, if you're not in the cottage, you can still live a decent life."

"But it doesn't work, it can't have children." Wang Siniang sighed, "This hen doesn't lay eggs, and in the eyes of many people it becomes a dead chicken."

"Don't pay attention to mediocre thoughts." Cui Tao said.

"I couldn't think about it for a while before. I also wanted to be a woman with a delicate temper like Ping'er. Later, I realized that if I continued to be honest, I would be doomed to be bullied and rubbed by others. I am a dead chicken. What else is there to be afraid of? Fight hard! In the end, I am stronger than those men in the village, but my temper is also fierce, and I can't restrain them if I am not fierce!"

Wang Siniang scratched her head with a silly smile, and told Cui Tao that sometimes she also knew that she was rude, but she couldn't change it.

Cui Tao was lying on the recliner, and when she saw Wang Siniang, she crouched beside her flatteringly and talked to herself.He smiled and patted her on the shoulder, asking her not to do this, but to find a stool and move it over and sit on it casually.

"I admire Mrs. Cui, you can even kneel." Wang Siniang said to Cui Tao with special admiration, "Before, I seriously felt that I made a difference and was very different from other women. Now that I have met Mrs. Cui, I know 'people' There are people outside, there is sky beyond the sky'. People are beautiful, smart, and good at cooking. They can do everything, and nothing can trouble you. Even if you are not hot-tempered, you can calm down those men and make everyone admire you. Mrs. Cui This is really amazing!"

Cui Tao smiled and praised Siniang Wang for being sweet, she liked it very much.

At this time, Ping'er came out after washing the dishes and came over.

"This is not right. Official Han Tui's nature is obviously not easy to get along with. Last time, Si Niang, you took a few more glances at him. What happened? There are other things you don't know, but I have seen them with my own eyes."

Wang Siniang asked Ping'er to tell quickly what was going on.

Ping'er then talked about a situation she encountered when she was taken to see Han Qi after she agreed to surrender to the Kaifeng Mansion and was waiting outside.It happened that someone from Shili Shangshu's mansion brought Han Qi some snacks.Han Qi directly sent Zhang Chang to return the food, but he did not return the food seriously. He deliberately threw the food box on the ground and knocked it over. He said he was careless, but Ping'er could tell that Zhang Chang did it on purpose.Afterwards, she listened to the whispered discussions of the yamen servants who knew about it, and guessed that the meal might be a gift from the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.

"People from that kind of background don't even eat food, but somehow it's different when it comes to Mrs. Cui." Ping'er felt wronged, and she bet that it should be the winner.

"Don't listen to those people's nonsense. There are many ways in the officialdom, and only the person involved knows the reason. The meal I gave has a big advantage, that is, it is simple and has no interests involved, so he can easily eat it."

Ping'er suddenly nodded, and realized that this was the truth.

Cui Tao yawned, Zhang Luo and everyone rushed to wash up and go to sleep, tomorrow is a day of hard work, so we should rest well tonight.

The next day, Cui Tao came to Xinghua Lane early with a compass and other things.

Since Tao's father and son believed in feng shui and built so many evil houses on top of the tomb for sacrifice, the underground tombs must also be laid out according to feng shui rules.According to the rule of "the living face south, the dead head north", it is speculated that the tomb where Tao Jiuzhang's body was placed should be at the north end.

Cui Tao looked north, and saw Zhu Dazhuang's tall house with beams at a glance, which was taller than other houses, and there were Pixiu sitting on the east and west corners of the top of the house.This Pixiu does have the function of town house to ward off evil spirits, but it is also a divine animal for town tombs.

Cui Tao went into Zhu Dazhuang's house, found the middle position where the two Pixiu corresponded, and asked Wang Siniang to dig.After lifting up the bluestone slabs paving the ground, when the dug was about half a foot deep, I went up to the long iron pestle and beat down.When the iron pestle was nailed down at first, it was very hard, requiring two strong yamen servants to smash it down with hammers.After most of the iron pestle was submerged in the soil, he suddenly hit it again, and the iron pestle suddenly slipped down easily.This shows that a hollow underground place has been encountered, which should be a tomb or a tomb passage.

There is an iron ring at the end of the iron pestle, which is tied with a rope.Everyone was full of energy at the moment, pulled up the iron pestle by the rope, and dug down with the Luoyang shovel along the trace left by the iron pestle just now.Not long after, a palm-sized round hole leading to the underground tomb was dug.Everyone looked down through the hole, but they couldn't see anything clearly, because it was dark inside.

Cui Tao took this as the center again, and asked the servants to dig at random distances in eight directions around, to see if the iron pestle was also at a similar depth, could meet the hollow, and try to spread throughout Xinghua Lane.In the end, everyone dug no less than 29 places in Xinghua Lane, and there were actually [-] places that could be opened.Among them, there were thirteen or four places where muffled noises could be heard from the ground when the iron pestle was being driven in. Because there was a layer of ground, it was really unclear what type of noise it was.

"The underground of Xinghua Lane is not a honeycomb, but a four-foot-long little man is buried. Why are so many places empty?" Li Yuan was shocked.

Wang Zhao curled his lips, "Didn't we search Tao Gao's house yesterday for more experience? I expected that the underground situation is complicated, and there are many hidden weapons. Listening to those noises, a single iron rod can trigger so many mechanisms. I don't know if there are beehives underground in Xinghua Lane, but I know that if this person really goes in, he will definitely form a beehive."

"A locksmith and a carpenter, how can they be so powerful together?" Li Yuan sighed, "If these two people use their work in a serious way, they might be able to stand up to thousands of troops."

"Who says it's not?" Wang Zhao agreed, and then went to ask Cui Tao what to do next.

Han Qi has other business affairs today, and he hasn't rushed over yet, but he told Wang Zhao early in the morning that everything should be under Cui Tao's orders.

As the military patrol of Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Zhao can be regarded as a moderate official. Normally, if he was given such an order to listen to a female prisoner, Wang Zhao would definitely draw his sword and refuse, and would rather die than do it. .But it is different when it comes to Cui Tao, Cui Tao saved his life, and he has seen all of her abilities with his own eyes, and he admires him very much.He had long since stopped treating Cui Tao as a female prisoner, and only regarded her as an expert.Fools have to listen to the opinions of experts more, so that they can continue to save their lives and live a good life.

"I asked you to shovel out a small hole, but have you finished?" Cui Tao asked.

Wang Zhao hurriedly nodded to show that everything was done.

Cui Tao asked the yamen servants to evenly distribute the special 'weapons' that Wang Siniang had just rushed to work.This weapon is a ball-shaped cage woven with wet poles, and a cow dung mushroom is wrapped inside.As soon as the gong sounded, the wet pole balls were dipped in lamp oil and lit, and were thrown down from the opening of the hole, from the first hole in the east, in order to the west, and after a while, it was the turn of the next hole to throw. The purpose is to give Tao Gao underground time to escape to the west.

The burning wet pole ball was thrown down, and thick smoke billowed out immediately. Everyone hurriedly sealed the hole with straw and other things. Not long after, they heard the sound of "嗙" explosion inside, and faintly smelled a faint The unpleasant smell wafted out, it was really worse than cow dung, and it was a bit irritating to the eyes.

It is still blocked with straw, but there is only a little smoke coming out. It is hard to imagine the situation under the tomb full of this kind of smoke. The smell of bull dung mushrooms is really sour...

After a stick of incense, the yamen servant at the end of the alley shouted: "The man has come out!"

The yamen guards guarding the mouth of the well had already prepared the noose, and when they saw Tao Gao protruding his head and coughing, they immediately pulled up the rope quietly and tightened the noose, thus trapping Tao Gao accurately, and then arrested him It's easy to get up.

Everyone worked hard for two days, and now they finally caught the murderer, as if they had won a battle, they were very happy, and some even jumped a few high to express their celebration.

Wang Zhao and Li Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Tao Gao who was being detained.By the way, he took a look at Tao Gao, he was indeed a dwarf as they had heard before, less than four feet tall, with a white and tender baby face, he looked like he was only seven or eight years old, it was true You can't tell that he is nearly 30 years old.Moreover, he also looks like a good boy, and now he has lowered his eyes and coughed all the time, which gives him a kind of cute and weak feeling.

Cui Tao, Wang Siniang, and Ping'er all rushed over at this time.

When Wang Siniang saw Tao Gao, she couldn't help sighing: "My mother, isn't this, isn't this a child? He looks so handsome."

"Don't forget his method of killing." Wang Zhao reminded sharply, and then ordered his subordinates to search him out and tie him up tightly. This dangerous person must not be asked to use any other means to harm others.

Tao Gao finally calmed down, he suddenly raised his head, looked angrily at Wang Zhao, Wang Siniang and others, and suddenly screamed, as if he just realized that he was arrested by the government.

"Who is it? Who broke my business! Why are you arresting me! Why..."

The yamen servant found a key from Tao Gao's neck and presented it to Wang Zhao.

After Wang Zhao glanced at it, he asked Cui Tao, "Could this be the key to that box?"

"Like, I'll try it when I go back." Cui Tao took it.

Tao Gao, who was going crazy, glared at Cui Tao suddenly after hearing this, his eyeballs seemed to pop out, and turned into sharp weapons to penetrate Cui Tao's eyebrows, "It's you, right? You ruined my good deed! Now, The curse of our Tao family is about to be broken! It’s all yours, it’s all your fault—”

The screaming sounded again, almost piercing the eardrums of the people around.

Wang Zhao immediately ordered someone to take a rag to stop Tao Gao's mouth, and immediately put him in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion pending trial.

Wang Siniang was overjoyed, "This kind of bastard should be in prison with Wang Dafa!"

"All of you have come out, do you still remember hating others?"

"I can't wait to chop off his bird and feed it to the dogs, that's what happens when you betray me!" Wang Siniang spat after speaking, with hatred and disgust on her face.

Ping'er had never seen a dwarf before, she watched in surprise after Wang Zhao and others took Tao Gao away, and then came back to her senses, frowning and feeling that Wang Siniang's words were too vulgar.

"Yo, have you broken the melon?" Wang Siniang asked.

Ping'er blushed immediately, and jumped to scold Wang Siniang for talking nonsense.

"Since you don't, how do you know so much about the birds I'm talking about? It can be seen that you are not that simple. If you understand it, you will understand it. There is nothing shameful. When can you stop pretending your nature?" Wang Siniang asked again. Bickered with Pinger.

Ping'er refused to accept it, and wanted to correct Wang Siniang's statement.The hatchback started to fight endlessly after you said something to me.

Cui Tao simply ignored the two of them and left with the key in his hand.

When Cui Tao was about to walk out of Xinghua Lane, she found that many residents in the alley had come out, and she laughed when she saw her.When she didn't understand what was going on, she saw a woman stepping forward and bowing, thanking Cui Tao for finding out the conspiracy that happened in Xinghua Lane, so that everyone finally figured out everything and felt at ease.

During this period of time, two couples in the alley 'suicide' in succession, coupled with the frequent visits of the government officials, really made them feel terrified, and dared not even sleep at night, for fear that if they closed their eyes, they would become Hanged ghost.

"We just heard from the officials that this is all thanks to you, little lady. We really need to thank you, little lady." Someone started, and the residents all opened their mouths to speak.It is also mentioned that Cui Tao kindly put a spell on each family, and used peach wood and other things to drive away evil spirits, almost boasting Cui Tao as their reborn parents.

"Our Lady Cui is such a formidable expert, everyone should thank her very much!" Seeing this, Wang Siniang shouted loudly to everyone while pinching her waist.

When the residents heard this, they all wanted to show things, whether it was chickens, ducks, geese or other things, in short, they moved them out and gave them to Cui Tao if they thought they were good.

Cui Tao glared at Wang Siniang, scolding her for making trouble,

"You don't need to be like this, the government handles the case, it's the responsibility, we don't take the people's stitches!" Cui Tao refused everyone with a busy smile.

"It's a good one who doesn't take the people's needles and threads!" A clear male voice came from behind the crowd.

The people looked back and saw that Han Tuiguan was there, so they hurriedly made way.

Zhao Zhen walked up to Cui Tao with his hands behind his back and praised her for her merits in solving the case.

Cui Tao almost saluted Zhao Zhen, but then remembered that he was still pretending to be in front of her.

"Why is Huang Liulang here?" Cui Tao asked pretending to be surprised.

"Just now, I ran into brother Zhigui at the entrance of the alley. I heard that there was a big case in Xinghua Alley, so I followed him out of curiosity."

Zhao Zhen still insists on his Huang Liulang character design which is full of loopholes.What can I do then, he is the emperor, so we should cooperate with his acting.

"That's really a coincidence." Cui Tao smiled and introduced Wang Siniang and Ping'er to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took a casual look at the two of them, and started his big leader inspection mode. First, he went to see the villainous mansion in Xinghua Lane. I did some calculations about the complex situation in the catacomb, and I also looked at the wet wormwood balls made by Cui Tao, and heard her talk about the power of cow dung mushrooms.

Zhao Zhen asked Cui Tao: "Why do you know so much?"

"I don't know, but it must have something to do with my being too smart." Cui Tao said with emotion, half joking.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing, "No matter what happened in the past, it's your luck and the court's luck that you can serve the court now."

Cui Tao responded repeatedly, but complained in his heart that Zhao Zhen's leadership speech really exposed his identity, did he know it?

Cui Tao immediately looked at Han Qi, but Han Qi stared at her meaningfully, as if implying that she would bear it and pass.

The big leader finally finished his inspection, and the group walked back to Xinghua Alley.

Han Qi glanced at the golden Buddha still standing at the entrance of the alley, and said quietly to Cui Tao, "Send it back."

Cui Tao was stunned for a moment, and then saw Han Qi and Zhao Zhen driving away together.

But Zhang Chang stayed and was responsible for assisting Cui Tao to return the Golden Buddha.

"Miss Cui, you can't spend the money of Kaifeng Mansion indiscriminately. This golden Buddha can directly cover the cost of Kaifeng Mansion for half a year. How dare you." Zhang Chang sighed.

"I thought it was easy to report to the public account, that's what Han Tuiguan said." Cui Tao shirked responsibility.

Zhang Chang glanced at Cui Tao, and sure enough he stopped talking.Fortunately, the people in the temple were easy to talk to. The two returned the Golden Buddha and only donated some money to express their thanks, and the matter could be muddied.

"You still talk about me, and I still want to ask you, what happened last night, did you deliberately send me to deliver meals to the official Han Tui?" Cui Tao asked Zhang Chang.

Zhang Chang quickly shook his head, "I didn't send Mrs. Cui, I just asked Mrs. Cui if there was any, and said that Mrs. Cui took the initiative to do it and gave it away when the official Han Tui didn't eat. Besides, I thank you , if Mrs. Cui blames me again, it will be unreasonable."

"My surname is Zhang, you really look like your master, monkey spirit!" Cui Tao glared at him.

Zhang Chang smiled apologetically: "This is considered a good thing for Mrs. Cui, right? Liu Lang doesn't eat everything that anyone gives him. He is willing to save face. Wouldn't it be easier for Mrs. Cui to be exonerated?"

Cui Tao turned her head to look at Wang Siniang and Ping'er who were still bickering with each other behind her, she couldn't help looking up at the sky, and sighed.Look at her servants, how smart they are, and look at those around her, how embarrassing they are.

People are more mad than people!

Can only turn grief into appetite.

On the way back, Cui Tao ordered Wang Siniang to go shopping for vegetables, and today she wanted to eat goose three times, grilled goose, fried goose and stewed goose.

Wang Siniang was very excited when she heard the order, and happily agreed, she took Ping'er to buy six big fat geese, and when she came back, she packed the geese without waiting for Cui Tao's order.The plucked goose feathers are collected, and they are said to be used as goose feather mattresses, which will be very warm when sleeping in winter.

"Then let's try to eat a few more later, and make up three mattresses, one for each of us!" Wang Siniang agreed happily.

At this time, Cui Tao was studying the mechanism box in the room.

Li Cai just came to pass the news that Tao Gao was emotionally agitated and basically in a state of madness all the time. He couldn't respond to normal conversations with him, let alone interrogate him, so Han Qi's side hasn't started to interrogate him yet.I'm afraid that Tao Gao has been insane all the time, so he has to rely on evidence to determine his motive for committing the crime.So the things in this box are particularly important.

Half an hour later, Cui Tao heard Wang Siniang outside shouting that the geese had been cleaned up and marinated according to her request. Cui Tao also figured it out, so she quickly started, opened the four locks of the box, and opened the box. A book and a drawing were taken out.

Cui Tao then ran to the kitchen, moved the charcoal to the yellow clay stove she had built before, hung three geese in it, sealed the stove, and told Wang Siniang to add six pieces of charcoal to the stove for every two sticks of incense.

"Is six yuan too little?" Wang Siniang asked.

"What I want is warm fire and slow roasting." Cui Tao put down these words in a hurry, and went to see Han Qi with the things in the box.

When Cui Tao entered the room, she didn't expect that Zhao Zhen was still there, and she couldn't help wondering if he was too idle as the emperor?Could it be that he and Empress Dowager Liu are having trouble again, so he hides here to enjoy leisure?

Seeing Cui Tao staring at him, Zhao Zhen guessed that she was surprised that he was here, coughed hurriedly, and explained: "Mom is watching me too closely, and it's rare to be free today, so I want to stay with Zhigui for a while longer."

Cui Tao nodded suddenly, and she had guessed correctly that she had quarreled with the queen mother.

"What is this?" Zhao Zhen picked up the map Cui Tao put on the table, opened it to look, but was almost dizzy by the winding passage drawn on the map, "Is this the tomb map of Xinghua Lane?"

Cui Tao nodded.

"There are so many traps, and there are so many tomb passages, it's easy to get lost. If there is no this map, even the gods of Daluo might not be able to get out. Fortunately, you reminded them that they didn't go down without authorization." Zhao After pondering for a while, Zhen looked at Han Qi over there, "I never thought that Tao Gao was a capable person who built tombs."

When Cui Tao heard Zhao Zhen's comment, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhao Zhen had taken a fancy to Tao Jiuzhang's well-designed tomb, and wanted to keep Tao Gao to build his tomb?This is an extremely brutal and ruthless serial murderer who killed twelve people.

Han Qi was flipping through the "Nie Ming Jing" that was put in the mechanism box, and after hearing Zhao Zhen's emotion, he said lightly: "I don't really understand Feng Shui, but I just acted according to the nonsense in this evil book. Whether he is cursed or not is unknown, but he is indeed an ominous person."

The murderer who brings death to people everywhere is more than "ominous"?But the reason why Han Qi emphasized this point was to dispel Zhao Zhen's wrong thoughts.Not to mention that Tao Gao didn't understand feng shui at all, even if he did, leaving such "unlucky people" to repair the tomb, no matter how well he repaired it, would destroy the royal feng shui and bring bad luck to the royal family.

It was just a fleeting thought for Zhao Zhen, and it was indeed the case when he thought about it, so he ordered Han Qi to try the case well, finish the trial as soon as possible, bring the murderer to justice, and give the undead who died unjustly and the people of Xinghua Lane a peace of mind. confess.

Seeing that she was all right, Cui Tao bid farewell to Han Qi immediately.

Han Qi: "In such a hurry, are you cooking again?"

Cui Tao nodded, and told Han Qi that her main course today was goose, "Is the official Han Tui going to stay in Kaifeng tonight?"

"Keep."

"Then I'll finish it in a while, and send a copy to Officer Han." Cui Tao said cheerfully, seeing that Han Qi didn't refuse, she assumed he agreed and hurried away.

When Cui Tao returned home, she began to prepare the big goose stew.

The key to this big goose stew is to use a big iron pot and fire it with hard wood.

Stir-fry the onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and other condiments in cold oil, then stir-fry the pickled goose meat, sprinkle with a spoonful of soy sauce, the goose meat will immediately change color into an attractive brown red, add rice wine to remove the fishy smell, After adding water, a lot of water, but not afraid of too much water.Goose meat is the most resistant to stewing. The high heat not only cooks the goose meat, but also the boiling water will squeeze out all the mellow aroma in the goose meat. When the stew is finished, the soup left in the pot It is all condensed to the most fragrant and richest level.

When the goose meat was about to be stewed, a circle of pancakes was pasted on the side of the pot, and after a while, the pancakes were ready.Just use this pancake to stick to the soup to eat, it is the most delicious.

There is another pot of heated oil, marinate the goose pieces with various condiments such as tangerine peel, then wrap the goose pieces with a layer of flour, then sprinkle salt and pepper, dip in egg liquid, and roll a layer of steamed bread slag , fry until the color is golden, and when the goose is completely cooked, take it out and put it on a plate, then put the dipping sauce seasoned with sour pear juice and soy sauce on the side, and a plate of fried goose with tangerine peel is ready.

The goose meat is crispy and fragrant, and there is a faint fragrance of tangerine peel in the fine meat, which especially stimulates the appetite.

After finishing these two dishes, the roast goose in the stove is almost ready to be taken out.The reason why Cui Tao uses warm fire to roast slowly is to force out all the fat under the skin of the goose, roasting the goose until the outer skin is burnt and crispy, but the inner is so tender that water can be squeezed out.

Cui Tao gave one roasted goose to Li Cai and Li Yuan brothers, and the second half to Wang Zhao.The remaining half was placed on a plate with a razor blade, and served with a bowl of tons of goose meat and a plate of fried goose meat, as well as sesame oil mixed with basil and sweet pickled cabbage each with a small butterfly, served with sesame seed cakes and thin corn porridge, let Zhang Changduan To Han Qi.

Zhang Chang originally wanted Cui Tao to deliver it in person, but then he thought that he couldn't always be so deliberate, so he came by himself.

All the dishes that should be distributed were distributed, and Cui Tao, Wang Siniang, and Ping'er could eat the rest.

When the dishes were laid out on the table, everyone was delighted by the smell of the meat.

Wang Siniang looked at Cui Tao pretending to be mysterious, and said that she also bought some good things.

Cui Tao asked Wang Siniang what it was.

Wang Siniang hurriedly turned around and slipped back to her room, and came out with a jar of wine.

"Will you drink the green plum wine from Eight Immortal Tower?"

Cui Tao said without hesitation: "Manshang! The happiest thing in life is drinking and eating meat!"

"That's right, that's right." Wang Siniang happily found a drinking buddy, brought a bowl, poured it for Cui Tao, and looked at Ping'er.

Ping'er asked if there was a smaller wine cup, but Wang Siniang ignored her and simply poured her a bowl, letting her drink it or not, and then poured herself a bowl too.

The three immediately raised their bowls and respected each other.

Wang Siniang said boldly: "Today, our three sisters have a close relationship here. We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but we just want—"

"It's not the same day, the same month, the same year." Cui Tao answered, and then instructed Wang Siniang, "Eat well, don't talk nonsense."

"Yes, yes, eat!"

A sip of wine and a sip of meat, how pleasant it is.

When Zhang Chang came to deliver the bowls and chopsticks, he found that Ping'er was the only one packing things in the courtyard, Cui Tao and Wang Siniang were nowhere to be seen, and their room was also dark.

"What about people?"

"Today is too tired, they went to sleep after eating." Ping'er said while wiping the bones on the table with a rag.

Zhang Chang didn't say much, he put the washed dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and then went to report to Han Qi, telling him that Cui Tao had fallen asleep.

"Sleeping?" Han Qi stood in front of the window with his hands folded, as if he had been standing there for a long time.

Hearing Zhang Chang's words suddenly, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and strode out the door, Zhang Chang immediately followed.

……

Washer.

Cui Tao and Wang Siniang were blushing and happily strolling in the bustling market in Wazi, when they suddenly saw a juggler blowing fire, they rushed to the front of the crowd, eating medicinal papaya, and followed Everyone booed and shouted hello.

Suddenly, the fire sprayed at them, and the two quickly turned their heads to dodge. In fact, the jugglers were very measured, and the fire never touched Cui Tao and Wang Siniang.However, the way the two dodged made many people around them laugh.

Cui Tao and Wang Siniang also laughed, and after giving rewards to jugglers, they withdrew from the crowd, cuddling each other and planning to return to Kaifeng Mansion.

"Did you drink too much, and your body is always shaking, bumping into me." Cui Tao pushed Wang Siniang.

Wang Siniang staggered and shook her head, "I didn't drink too much, but Mrs. Cui drank too much. She can't drink enough, and she will get confused after two bowls."

"I'm not confused, I can see clearly that your nose is a nose, and your eyes are eyes, um—" When Cui Tao was talking to Wang Siniang's face, she suddenly saw a man wearing a black gauze not far behind Wang Siniang. The man in the straw hat was walking over.

It's late at night, it's already dark, and this person is still covered like this, there must be something wrong.

Cui Tao immediately thought of the killer of Di Zang Pavilion, so she prepared the silver needle in her sleeve and stared at the person who was walking towards her.

When she got closer, Cui Tao could feel the man staring at her even through the black veil.

The man continued to move forward, getting very close!

Cui Tao dragged Wang Siniang behind her, and said harshly, "What do you want to do?"

"Peach? Is that really you?"

Because she was closer, Cui Tao was still holding the lantern in her hand, and she saw a mole on the man's right index finger.
