Chapter 106 Taifu's Taste of Love
Gongsun Wuzhi stared at Meng Yang in shock, unable to react for a while, staring blankly, unable to wake up, after a while, he suddenly burst into a violent attack, even though he was chained, he rushed up, rushed Xiang Mengyang.
Gongsun Wuzhi's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted angrily: "Why did you frame me?! I didn't poison you, why did you harm me?!"
Gongsun Wuzhi suddenly exploded, and the Huben army around him immediately went to arrest Gongsun Wuzhi. Gongsun Wuzhi had already rushed in front of Meng Yang. If he hadn't been locked up, Gongsun Wuzhi might have grabbed Meng Yang's neck.
The Huben army held Gongsun Wuzhi tightly, and Gongsun Wuzhi still yelled out of control: "You thief!! Why did you frame me?! I treated you well, but you are so heartless! Meng Yang, you will die !!"
Meng Yang was very calm from beginning to end, he didn't even move his eyelids.
This is the sleeping palace of the emperor, how can Gongsun be ignorant and yelling wildly?Ji Lin said with a cold face, "The evidence is solid, how do you want to argue?"
But Gongsun Wuzhi said: "Son of Heaven! I didn't poison! I didn't poison Taifu Qi! I didn't do it at all!"
Gongsun Wuzhi refused to admit it to death, and Ji Lin said coldly, "Take it down, and take care of the prison."
"Yes!"
The Huben army immediately listened to the order, escorted Gongsun Wuzhi and the eunuch Meng Yang, and went to the prison. Gongsun Wuzhi did not obey, kept shouting and struggling, but the Huben army was all elites, and Gongsun Wuzhi's The kung fu is not as good as the Huben army, let alone the hands and feet are still tied.
Gongsun's ignorant shout gradually faded away, and soon disappeared...
Gongsun Wuzhi and Meng Yang were escorted down, but Ji Lin's face was still very ugly. If Qi Lv had to feed the supplements to the fish because of his own taste, then the person who died of poisoning might be Qi Lv himself.As soon as Ji Lin thought of this, he felt terrified, and his heart panicked violently, his heart acupoints became ruthless.
Ji Lin said in a cold voice: "This Gongsun is ignorant and bold, we must not let him go lightly."
Looking at the scene where Gongsun Wuzhi and Meng Yang were being escorted, Qi Lu seemed lost in thought, and then said: "Son of Heaven, Lu believes that there may be something inside this matter."
"The evidence is solid, so what else is there?" Ji Lin said, "Even the eunuchs around Gongsun Wuzhi confessed."
Qi Lv shook his head and said, "Gongsun's ignorant motive is very strange, please think about it carefully, Son of Heaven."
Ji Lin is a smart person. Although he is not a calm person, he is not a reckless person either. He is just impulsive occasionally.Now Qi Lu is involved in this matter, so Ji Lin's concern is chaotic, and he has been impulsive for a while. Now Qi Lu asked him to think carefully, and Ji Lin also slowly frowned. It seemed that it was indeed a bit unusual. The place.
Qi Lv said: "According to the eunuch Meng Yang, Gongsun Wuzhi wanted to poison the law and poison the law because he recommended Youyu because he remembered the law. This makes sense on the surface, but it doesn't stand up to careful scrutiny Think about it... If Gongsun Wuzhi really hated Yu Yu for robbing the Qi State Mission, why did Yu Yu, the 'culprit', have nothing to do with himself, but Lu, an indirect person, was going to be poisoned?" Is the circuit too tortuous?
Even if Gongsun Wuzhi bears a grudge, then Yu himself should be the first person to bear a grudge. Since Yu is fine now, he can "alively" detain both Gongsun Wuzhi and Meng Yang. Lu, an indirect person, was almost poisoned to death. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
Qi Lv said: "So Lu privately thinks that Gongsun Wuzhi's motive for poisoning sounds reasonable, but it doesn't make sense when you think about it carefully. Maybe it is really like what Gongsun Wuzhi said, he was framed."
Ji Lin frowned and said, "Framed? If Gongsun Wuzhi was framed, who was the one who poisoned him?"
Qi Lu stroked his chin and said, "Meng Yang must know this person."
The one who testified against Gongsun's ignorance was his trusted eunuch Meng Yang. This case is nothing more than two results. One is that Gongsun is innocent and Meng Yang is telling the truth; the other is that Gongsun is innocent and Meng Yang is a false accusation.In this way, Meng Yang is very likely to know the person who accused Gongsun of ignorance, and may be related.
Qi Lu narrowed his eyes and said: "This matter is interesting. Although Lu usually offends a lot of people, there are really not many people who want to put him to death."
What Qi Lu said is the truth, although Qi Lu has indeed offended many people on weekdays, Qi Lu has always been safe and sound, and there are really not many people who want to put him to death so clearly, there are only two reasons, one is No guts, the second is incompetence.
After all, Qi Lu is in a high position, he is the head of the Luoshi royal family's three princes, it is almost impossible to kill such a high-ranking official, it requires not only courage, but also the ability to cover the sky with one hand.
Qi Lu said thoughtfully, "Lü is a little interested in this."
"Let me go!! Let me go!"
Gongsun Wuzhi was escorted out of the emperor's bedroom by the Huben army, and went to the jail. Gongsun Wuzhi could not submit, shouting and struggling all the way: "Let go of me!! I am the Gongsun of Qi, and I have not poisoned you!" , Why do you arrest me! I am innocent!"
Gongsun Wuzhi yelled all the way, and many palace people stopped to watch. The news spread like wildfire, and soon spread to the posthouse, and the servants of the Prince of Qi immediately ran back to report.
"Congratulations, prince! Congratulations, prince!" The servants said with a dozen smiles: "Prince, the eunuch Meng Yang accused Gongsun Wuzhi of poisoning, the emperor was furious, and ordered Gongsun Wuzhi to be imprisoned. Congratulations for losing your mind and worrying about it!"
Prince Zhu'er laughed loudly, as if he was very happy, and said, "Okay, that's great! That little boy Lu Wuzhi actually wants to fight me? I am the orthodox of the Qi State, and his grandson is nothing! !Unfortunately……"
Prince Zhu'er sighed sadly, and said: "Then Qi Lv is also fateful, and he didn't manage to kill him!"
The follower said: "The prince borrowed a knife to kill people this time, and got rid of Gongsun Wuzhi. It is already a great joy. The world of Qi will belong to your prince sooner or later."
Prince Zhu'er said: "Thanks to the careful eyes and ears I arranged around Lu Wuzhi, I never thought it would be so useful."
The eunuch Meng Yang who is the eunuch next to Gongsun Wuzhi is who else the prince Zhuer arranges to be the eyes and ears of Gongsun Wuzhi.
That day Qi Lv went to a banquet and saw the prince Zhu'er talking with an eunuch, at that time he only looked at a piece of robe, but did not see who it was, that person was undoubtedly the eunuch Meng Yang.
Although the eunuch Meng Yang is an old man who follows Gongsun Wuzhi, he is actually the work of the prince and his sons who put Gongsun Wuzhi next to him. He will tell all the details of Gongsun Wuzhi on weekdays, so as to prevent Gongsun Wuzhi from being too favored in Qi State .
The follower hesitated, and said: "Prince, although this Meng Yang is your confidant, but... now that Meng Yang has been imprisoned, I'm afraid... if you confess to the prince, what should I do? "
Prince Zhu'er raised his hand, stopped the follower, and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry, this Meng Yang is my dog, so why would he bite his master back? He is the most loyal, and he will never die. I won’t say a word, just feel at ease.”
Prince Zhu'er seems to be very relieved of Meng Yang, but there is a reason for this.There are two kinds of eunuchs these days, one is the so-called eunuchs, and the other is ordinary people, not all eunuchs are necessarily disabled.But there is a kind of eunuch who must be incomplete, and that is the eunuch who wears a sinful body.
According to the law of the Spring and Autumn Period, anyone who is guilty can be exempted from the death penalty as long as he is castrated.The "famous" Shu Diao in the Spring and Autumn Period was such a figure.The records of Shu Diao in history are very intriguing. It is said that Shu Diao "Diao Shi, a eunuch of Qi, leaked his teacher to Duoyu", which means that Shu Diao was a spy in Duoyu.
No matter what era it is, missing a teacher is a serious crime, and it is a capital crime. But according to the law, as long as you come from the palace, you can be exempted from the death penalty. Not only that, you can also enter the palace to serve the dignitaries. He became one of the treacherous ministers who controlled the government in the late period of Duke Huan of Qi. In the end, he starved to death the ruler of the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi, in his bedroom.
Meng Yang was also guilty of this, but he was not guilty of the crime himself, but was implicated and convicted.After Meng Yang entered the Qi Palace, his status was very low and he was often bullied. Later, he met the prince Zhu'er.
Prince Zhu'er took Meng Yang in, and felt that Meng Yang was a deep-minded and prudent person, who was very suitable to be his eyeliner, so he sent Meng Yang to Gongsun Wuzhi.Gongsun Wuzhi didn't know that Meng Yang was the eyeliner sent by the prince Zhu'er, so he kept Meng Yang by his side all the time.
Because the princes and sons are kind to Meng Yang, they are completely relieved, saying: "Meng Yang is very pedantic, and he will not betray him to the death, just feel at ease."
Ji Lin told Qi Lu not to worry about this matter, he would send someone to check it out, now that Qi Lu is injured, it is better to rest at ease and heal his injuries, and not leave any trace of the disease behind.
Qi Lu has been recuperating in the house for a few days, and he is already hairy. He has not been able to enter the dining room these days, and his palms are itchy. Some good food to come.
Qi Lv couldn't bear it that day, he found out that the Son of Heaven was quite busy today, and he would never have time to look at him, so he sneaked out of the house, and took the lamb shoulders to the dining room, like a thief.
"Xiao Yang Xiao Yang, take a quick look, is there anyone?" Qi Lv hid behind the rockery, poked his head around, and waved his hands, letting Yang Yang go to "spout".
Li Yangjian was very helpless, took a few steps forward, looked left and right, and said, "Teacher, there is no one."
"Shh!" Qi Lu immediately made a silent movement, and said, "Don't call me Tai Tuo, if someone overhears you, you will be arrested again."
Sheep Shoulder: "..."
Qi Lv looked left and right again, but there was no one there, so he tiptoed, took the sheep shoulders and continued to sneak towards the dining room, hiding all the way, as if he was doing some espionage activities, and sneaked to the door of the dining room.
When Qi Lu saw Zheng Gong's dining room, he was inexplicably very kind. They also lived in Zheng Gong for a while before, and Qi Lu was no stranger to the dining room here, and the relationship with the cooks here was also very close.
Qi Lu walked towards the dining room with a smile on his face. As soon as he entered, he hadn't been able to greet the cooks cordially. Who knew that Zheng Guo's cooks showed a shocked expression when they saw Qi Lu.
"Teacher Qi?"
"Mr. Qi, why are you here?"
"Isn't Tai Tuo seriously injured?"
The cooks ran over quickly, maybe it was Qi Lu's illusion, he always felt that these cooks were blocking the door of the dining room, and he had no room to go in.Qi Lu took a step to the left, and the cooks followed suit, still blocking Qi Lu's way.
I heard the cooks say: "Teacher, you can't enter the dining room."
"No?" Qi Lunahan asked, "Why?"
The cooks said in embarrassment: "The Taifu doesn't know something, the emperor... the emperor issued an edict to prevent the Taifu from entering the dining room while he is recuperating. Look, the edict board is still here."
Qi Luding took a closer look, it wasn't an imperial edict, he didn't expect the emperor to do things so terribly, Qi Lv even sneaked over here, but the emperor came to take a draught from the bottom of the pot and directly issued an edict to the cooks.
The cooks looked bitter, and said: "Teacher, don't embarrass the little ministers, you should go back to recuperate quickly, the emperor is also worried about your injuries, if you... If you really step into the dining room , my little ministers... the little ministers are going to have to walk around without food!"
Qi Lu: "..."
Qi Lv was stopped outside the dining room, and the cooks "begged hard", but there was nothing they could do, and they were "driven" out of the dining room in desperation.
Yan Yangjian looked calm, and said: "Teacher, let's go back and rest, the Son of Heaven is also for the sake of Taifu."
Qi Lu said: "Little Yang, why have you turned your elbows out recently? You are the Taifu's housekeeper, not the emperor's housekeeper."
Li Yangjian was still very calm, and said: "Teacher, how can you turn your elbow inward? Anyway, I don't know how to do it."
Qi Lu: "..."
Qi Lu was rejected by the dining room, and he was unwilling to go back to heal his wounds obediently. With a movement of his eyes, he suddenly raised an inscrutable smile, and said, "Okay, then Lu will not be cooking in the palace, and go to the lamb. Go out of the palace with the Taifu!"
Sheep Shoulder: "..."
Qi Lu couldn't cook in the palace, so he simply sneaked out of the palace gate. The emperor was guarding day and night, so he didn't expect that Qi Lu would boldly leave the palace.Qi Lu asked for a delivery car at the bus office. The officials at the bus office all knew Taifu Qi and knew that Taifu Qi was someone not to be messed with. As soon as he opened his mouth, the officials of the Public Transport Department immediately prepared a luggage cart graciously, covered it with thick soft cushions, and equipped it with a riding slave, and sent Taifu Qi out of the palace for "business".
Qi Lu went out of the palace and asked Yan Yangjian to drive the carriage to Jizhong's mansion.
Ji Ya suddenly heard that the carriage came from the palace, and thought that the emperor had something to ask someone to bring his uncle into the palace, but he didn't know that was not the case, it was Taifu Qi who came out of the palace to find him.
When Ji Ya heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran out to greet him, saying, "Brother, why are you here!?"
Qi Lu came down from the carriage with a smile on his face, and said, "Why, brother is not welcome?"
"How could it be?" Knowing that Qi Lu was injured, Ji Ya immediately carefully helped Qi Lu get off the carriage, and said, "Slow down, slow down! Brother, come, I'm too late to be happy."
Qi Lu said: "Brother Wei wants to borrow your family's... dining room."
"Dining room?" Ji Ya looked confused, there is also a dining room in the palace, why did Qi Lu rush to his house?
Ji Ya thought about it, suddenly laughed, and said yes, it must be that his brother missed him, and he was too embarrassed to say it outright, so he said he wanted to use his own dining room.
Thinking of this, Ji Yadeng was so beautiful that his snot bubbles almost popped out, he giggled and said, "Okay, dining room! Brother just use it, use it however you want, if brother likes it, you can dismantle it!"
The two were talking, and by coincidence, another black car stopped at the gate of the Ji family's mansion, and someone came out of it, wearing a white robe and a white fluffy cape, with broad shoulders and a tall figure, With a face like a crown of jade, isn't he the most beautiful grandson of Zheng Guo?
In summer, Gongsun Zidu's clothes are made of silk, thin and slippery, which sets off his tall and sexy figure. Now it is winter, although he is wearing thicker clothes, he doesn't look bloated at all, on the contrary, he even more sets off his male figure. The grandchildren are all tall and straight.Although the face is handsome and delicate, it is not feminine at all, but rather handsome.
Gongsunzi all stepped down from the carriage, and those few steps showed the grandeur of the Gong clan to the fullest.
When Ji Ya saw Gongsun Zidu, his mood was completely different from that of Qi Lu, and he said, "Why are you here?"
Gongsunzi heard Ji Ya and Qi Lu talking and laughing from a long distance away. It is no exaggeration to say that the voice could be heard from the gate of Ji's house to the gate of the palace. Everyone heard it along the way, and Gongsunzi came , Ji Ya's voice is much "indifferent", not an attitude at all.
Gongsunzi squinted his eyes and said, "Your sons are all here to find the priest."
Today, Gongsunzi and Jizhong have something to talk about, most of which is about the wedding, because the marriage between Gongsunzi and the daughter of Qi State is a big event, and Jizhong, as the Prime Minister, naturally has to be busy.
Ji Ya curled his lips, pulled Qi Lu and said, "Brother, let's go, I'll take you to the dining room."
Ji Ya pulled Qi Lu and left, throwing the back of Gongsunzi's head. Gongsunzi stared at Ji Ya's back as he went away. go forward.
Ji Ya brought Qi Lu to the dining room, turned his head and said, "Didn't you come to see my uncle? What are you doing in the dining room?"
Gongsunzi said calmly: "The priest is entertaining guests, so I came a little early. I have always heard that Taifu Qi's cooking skills are superb. Today I have time and want to observe Taifu Qi's cooking skills. "
Ji Ya glanced at him in distaste, and ignored Gongsun Zidu, and said to Qi Lv, "Brother, what do you want to eat today? I have all kinds of ingredients here, brother just pick the best ones for use!"
Qi Lu looked around, he didn't eat for a few days, his hands were very itchy, in fact, Qi Lu wanted to eat today, there is also a purpose, this is the first purpose...
Qi Lv was going to finish the meal and take him to Jail An to see the "weird" eunuch Meng Yang.
The second purpose is for Zheng Boxu's birth.
The day before yesterday, Qi Lu fed Zheng Boxian's beloved fish with poisonous supplements. Although Qi Lu didn't know that the supplements were poisonous, it did poison Zheng Boxian's favorite fish.Qi Lu heard that Uncle Zheng was sick with anger, of course, "it's just a few fish", and Uncle Zheng couldn't ask the emperor to pay for it, but Qi Lu still couldn't make it through.
He had no place to find fish to compensate Zheng Bowu, so he had to cook some vegetables and send them to Zheng Bo, as compensation.
Qi Lu thought for a while and said, "Brother, do you know what flavors Zheng Gong likes?"
"Duke Zheng?" Ji Ya didn't know why Qi Lu suddenly asked Zheng Boxiu, with a confused look on his face.
Gongsunzi listened nearby, chuckled, and said, "Brother Jun? Brother Jun's food is very ordinary, and he has never had any preferences or preferences. You might as well ask Zidu if you ask the little gentleman."
Both Gongsunzi and Zheng Bo’s younger brothers, Zheng Bo has always trusted Gongsunzidu, and the two got very close, and Gongsunzidu is also the head of Zheng’s clan. If you think about it, it is true that Gongsunzidu has a relationship with Zheng Bowu. Get closer.
Zheng Boweisheng has no preferences or taboos for food, and he doesn’t call out what he wants to eat on weekdays. Zheng’s dining room has always been peaceful, and Zheng Boweisheng is a "workaholic". Excess energy is devoted to governing the country.
Unexpectedly, when Ji Ya heard it, he immediately sneered and said, "Brother, you are asking the right person when you ask me! My younger brother really knows what your lord loves to eat."
In fact, it is not Ji Ya who knows, but Ji Zhong. Ji Zhong is the Prime Minister of the State of Zheng, and he is deeply trusted by Zheng Bowei. Sacrifice Zhong.
Whether it's food, clothing, housing, or transportation, everything that Zheng Bowei gave birth to was arranged by Ji Zhong himself, of course, including those few dead fish...
Ya Yashen said mysteriously: "Brother, you must not guess, in fact, the king likes to eat large intestines!"
"Large intestine?" Gongsunzi frowned when he heard that, his handsome face was full of disgust. Although nobles in this era also eat offal, it's not that they don't eat it, but Gongsunzi has always hated the smell of offal and couldn't eat it. , he never eats these, the taste is very light.
Qi Lu was also taken aback, didn't he expect Uncle Zheng to be so harsh?
Ji Ya vowed, and said: "Really, I heard what my uncle said, and I can't be wrong, it is Dachang! But ah, the cook in this palace can't make Dachang well, it's either toothache, or it's too embarrassing. very."
Qi Lu thought about it, Dachang?Is it difficult to like to eat large intestine?I also like it. The taste of the large intestine is chewy and tough, and the key taste is particularly fragrant, with an oily fragrance.However, if the internal organs are not cleaned, they will indeed feel fishy and greasy.
Qi Lu immediately came up with an idea. It happened that there was a large intestine in the dining room. Qi Lu not only brought the large intestine, but also got some lungs. Seeing that the tofu was prepared in the dining room, he also brought a piece.
Ji Ya looked at Qi Lu's skillful preparation of the meal, just looking at this action, he became hungry for no reason, stood beside him with a salivating face, rubbed his palms and said, "Brother, what delicious food are you going to make?"
Qi Lu said with a smile: "Boiled and boiled."
"Fire?" Ji Ya can be regarded as someone who has seen the world, Qi Lu has done this before, Ji Ya thought, is it just "small sesame cakes"?But how to eat biscuits and large intestine together?Is it possible that the large intestine is sandwiched between sesame seed cakes?
Ji Ya thought about it, and instantly made it weird, so he didn't guess at all. Anyway, every time Qi Lu made a meal, Ji Ya never guessed it right.
This stewed fire is indeed made of large intestines and other "pig offal", but it is not a large intestine sandwiched with sesame seeds, but a famous food in old Beijing. However, almost all old Beijingers do not like this bite. of.Braised and boiled fire is simply a must-eat snack when you go to Beijing. If you have only eaten roast duck in Beijing but not stewed fire, you have not really been to Beijing.
This stewed fire is actually a pot of soup that is boiled with pig water, and then made with noodles to make special dead noodles, cut into small diamond-shaped pieces, and boiled into the soup.The soup mixes the flavors of the large intestine and lungs, and it is richer and more mellow than pork. Tofu must be fried until it is charred on the outside and tender in the inside. It's not rotten, not only not rotten, but also very chewy.
The authentic stewed soup, although it is an old soup made with pig offal, has absolutely no peculiar smell. Instead, it is full of the aroma and mellowness of internal organs, which cannot be replaced by pork.This marinated stewed meat actually originated from Su Zao Meat, but Su Zao Meat was stewed with pork belly. At that time, many people could not afford pork belly. Later, they used pig offal as a substitute. Who knew it was cheap? The soup made from the goods is richer, has a unique fragrance, and is cheap, so it quickly became popular.
Although it was said that the stewed and boiled fire in the past was only a low-level food, but it has become a kind of gourmet culture even today.
Qi Lu cleans the large intestine and lungs, and mixes them with various seasonings. The authentic stewed soup is the old soup, but Qi Lu doesn’t have time to cook the old soup at the moment, so he can only use seasoning instead. Although he can’t fool experts, Zheng Bowei I must have never eaten stewed stew in my life, so I don't know what it tastes like.
Qi Lu was making the soup, and then he started to burn it. As soon as he babbled, a scent soon wafted out, and Ji Ya sniffed his nose vigorously, and said, "This...it smells so good!"
Different from the smell of meat, the smell of internal organs is more overbearing and mellow. As the heat slowly evaporates, it is indescribably attractive and makes people move their index fingers. Ji Ya can't tell what it is like, anyway, it used to be I have never eaten this kind of taste, and I have an urge to swallow my saliva.
Speaking of the large intestine that Zheng Boweisheng loves, Ji Ya also dislikes it, because Zheng Guo has no experience in making large intestines. In Ji Ya’s impression, the large intestine is not very delicious, and it is very dirty. Cooked by the expert hands, the large intestine is almost "reborn".
Gongsunzi frowned at first, but soon he also smelled the fragrance of the seed. Not exaggerating, even Gongsunzi sniffed it lightly twice.
The cold winter is the most suitable for eating braised fire. In cold winter, eat a bowl of hot stewed soup. The warm soup is combined with the smooth and chewy boiled fire. It is warm and satisfying in the stomach. It is also special. satisfaction.
Qi Lu looked at Ji Ya's "so greedy, so greedy" expression, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "It's not healed yet, wait a while."
Authentic stewed stew pays attention to fire cooking but not rotten. After Qi Lu has cooked the fire, he boils the fire into the soup, then scoops it up, fires and cuts the well-tac-toe knife, and quickly pours the soup, large intestine and The lungs are covered on top, and the fried tofu is full of soup, full of ingredients.
Qi Lu filled two soybeans and brought them to Ji Ya and Gongsun Zidu. Immediately, Ji Ya couldn't bear it any longer. He took a bite of the soybeans in the dining room, his eyes lit up, and said, "This...how is this soup? So fragrant? It's so fragrant!"
The Xili Hulu eaten by the Yasutra has no image at all. The grandsons and grandsons didn't believe it at first, but smelling the fragrance and seeing how contagious the food is, they scooped up a piece of boiled fire with a small dagger and tried it. After trying it, I couldn't help being surprised by the handsome appearance, but there was no strange smell at all.
Seeing the reactions of both Ji Ya and Gongsun Zi, Qi Lu knew that the stew he made was very strong, so he immediately made two more servings, put one of them into a large lacquer food container, and gave the other to Ji Ya. Tooth, said: "Brother, I trouble you to send this stewed stew to the palace and dedicate it to Zheng Gong."
Ji Ya smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I won't steal food!"
Qi Lu smiled helplessly, and said: "There is still some left in the pot, if my brother likes it, I will cook it for you some other day."
Qi Lv was carrying a large lacquer food and another portion of stewed food, and he was going to go to the prison to see the eunuch Meng Yang.
Qi Lv and Yan Yangjian borrowed the dining room of the priest's family, and quickly got into the carriage, instead of going back to the palace, they went to the prison.
It's dark and humid, especially in winter, it's even colder and biting when you walk in, but the food in Qi Lu's hand emits a mellow smell, which is more sensual/desire than meat. In the prison, it is simply "disgusting the scenery".
Qi Lu walked in, and before seeing Gongsun Wuzhi and Meng Yang, he heard Gongsun Wuzhi's energetic voice, which was already hoarse, and was still yelling at Meng Yang.
Gongsun Wuzhi clawed at the fence of the prison cell, tired of cursing, but he refused to give up, saying: "Meng Yang! You white-eyed wolf! How will I treat you? You actually framed me and put me to death!"
Meng Yang sat calmly on the floor of the prison cell, almost blending into the dark environment. His face was usually dull, and he looked lifeless. He slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Gongsun Wuzhi in the opposite cell. Finally he spoke, and said lightly: "Why should Gongsun waste his energy? Let's save some energy."
Gongsun Wuzhi slammed the prison cell hard, made a loud "clang clang" sound, and said, "You fart! How can I save energy?! I wish I could go out and strangle you to death!"
Gongsun Wuzhi shouted, but suddenly his voice stopped, because he smelled a scent of seeds.Ever since he was imprisoned, Gongsun Wuzhi hasn't eaten a good meal. Every day, there are leftovers, which are extremely dirty. Gongsun Wuzhi considers himself a nobleman of Qi State, a descendant of Jiang Taigong, how can he bear it? Such humiliation is one that would rather die than eat.
Gongsun Wuzhi didn't eat, and yelled again. He had no strength for a long time. Now he was at the end of his battle. When he suddenly smelled such a strong aroma, his stomach immediately let out a "thundering sound" , I wish it could resound throughout the prison.
Gongsun Wuzhi's face turned red, and he heard the sound of footsteps. When he fixed his eyes, it turned out to be Qi Lu!
Gongsun Wuzhi immediately said: "Teacher Qi, I really didn't poison you!"
Qi Lu walked in, but looked at the eunuch Meng Yang, and said, "Meng Yang, you should be the most clear about whether Qi Gongsun has poisoned you?"
The eunuch Meng Yang didn't look up, as if Qi Lu wasn't talking to him.
Qi Lu smiled, and didn't ask any further questions, but said: "Lu heard that Zheng Guo's prison food is not very delicious. In the past, Song Gongzi and Yi also stayed in this prison for some time. Lu is The one who knows this most well, the taste of the vegetables and rice is not only so-so, but also the portion is pitifully small, you must not be full, right?"
The eunuch Meng Yang's eyes finally moved, and he said flatly: "Teacher Qi doesn't need to talk to the minister, the minister has already said what he should say, and there is nothing more to say."
Qi Lu smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, Lu didn't come here today to ask you to talk, but to bring you food, and this meal was prepared by Lu himself."
Meng Yang was not attracted by the aroma, he just said: "I won't even take a bite, Taifu, please go back."
Qi Lu smiled and said, "It's okay."
Qi Lu walked slowly, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't eat, but Lu will still come. He will come today and tomorrow, and he will come to influence you with the delicious food that Lu personally cooks. Meng Yang, what do you say?" Tell me, come here a few more times, will the real master hiding behind you become suspicious?"
When he said this, Meng Yang immediately frowned, and Gongsun Wuzhi stared at Qi Lu with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand what Qi Lu was saying.
Qi Lv said again: "This kind of thing is a matter of putting a long line to catch big fish. As long as Lv is patient enough, your master will definitely become suspicious. At that time, even if you are loyal, he may not be able to hold back. To kill you to silence you, Lu only needs to lay an ambush under the trap, and wait for him to throw himself into the trap, why not?"
Gongsun Wuzhi finally understood, and immediately said pleasantly: "Teacher, do you believe me! I really didn't poison you, I was framed by Meng Yang."
Qi Lu said to Gongsun Wuzhi very kindly: "Does Qi Gongsun want to arrest the chief envoy behind Meng Yang?"
Gongsun Wuzhi's voice was extremely hoarse, his face was ruthless, and he said, "Naturally!"
Qi Lu said: "Then Lu will wrong Gongsun for a few days, please cooperate with Gongsun."
Gongsun Wuzhi said: "As long as you can catch that turtle grandson, what's the point of being wronged? Taifu, tell me, how do you want me to cooperate with you?"
Qi Lu raised the food in his hand with a smile, and said, "Then please trouble Mr. Gongsun... Let's have something delicious."
"Ah?" Gongsun Wuzhi looked confused, and fell into confusion again, staring at Qi Lu with staring eyes.
The eunuch Meng Yang doesn't eat the food that Qi Lv sent, but Qi Lv intends to put a long line to catch big fish, so he must create an appearance that Meng Yang has already eaten the food, just right, Gongsun Wuzhi is very hungry, Qi Lv The hot stewed fire was handed over to Gongsun Wuzhi.
Gongsun Wuzhi thought it would be some kind of hard work, but he didn't know it was such a beautiful job. He was very hungry, cold and hungry, and immediately snored, holding the soybeans and started eating, saying, "It's so fragrant, so delicious!" ! Support... support me to death..."
Meng Yang's face was dark, seeing Gongsun Wuzhi finished eating the hot stew, Qi Lu didn't talk nonsense to Meng Yang, packed up the empty soybeans, and left with the food. Before leaving, he spread the news and tried his best After exaggerating, Taifu Qi came to visit the criminal minister Meng Yang, and Meng Yang ate up all the delicacies that Taifu Qi made with his own hands.
Qi Lu spent a whole day "surging" outside, seeing that the sun was about to set, he came back from outside the palace in a cart.Qi Lu quietly entered his courtyard, looked left and right, it was calm, the emperor didn't seem to notice at all, maybe the emperor didn't know that he ran out for a whole day.
Qi Lu planned to go back to the house before the emperor came, pretending to be well-behaved and recovering from illness. He opened the door and walked in. Because the sun sets early in winter, the house is dark and there are no lights, so Qi Lu went in in the dark, thinking To light the lamp.
Qi Lv fumbled in the dark, and suddenly felt a slippery object, a little slippery, with a little curve, um...it seemed to be a very good fabric, and it felt good, it was next to the table.
Qi Lu was a little strange, did he pile up his clothes beside the table when he was leaving?Qi Lu's eyes quickly adapted to the darkness, and he didn't need to turn on the lamp at all, so he gasped with a "ho—" immediately.
What Qi Lv touched was not cloth, and it would not be appropriate to say it wasn't cloth, and it was indeed cloth, but the cloth was wearing on the emperor's body...
The house was pitch-black, and the Son of Heaven was sitting on the side of Qi Lu's desk without anyone noticing, waiting for Qi Lu, the "little white rabbit", to throw himself into the net, and a waiter came.
The voice of the Son of Heaven came from the darkness, saying: "Why, the Taifu has been out for a day and doesn't know the widow?"
Qi Lu: "..."
With a "wow", the emperor lit the candle, and this time Qi Lu really saw the handsome... black face of the emperor.
Qi Lu coughed, and immediately cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Wang Lu knew I was wrong when Lu saw me..."
The emperor chuckled, and said: "The Tai Tuo admits his mistakes faster and faster, so the Tai Tuo will tell you, where is the mistake?"
Qi Lu's scalp was numb, and he said: "Lü's fault is...should not have sneaked out of the palace."
The Son of Heaven let out a "hmm", with a sexy voice mixed with a touch of hoarseness, which was inexplicably pleasant, and said, "What else?"
Qi Lv thought for a while, then squeezed toothpaste and said, "Lv's fault is...should not have gone to prison secretly."
The emperor's eyes immediately became sharp
Gongsun Wuzhi's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted angrily: "Why did you frame me?! I didn't poison you, why did you harm me?!"
Gongsun Wuzhi suddenly exploded, and the Huben army around him immediately went to arrest Gongsun Wuzhi. Gongsun Wuzhi had already rushed in front of Meng Yang. If he hadn't been locked up, Gongsun Wuzhi might have grabbed Meng Yang's neck.
The Huben army held Gongsun Wuzhi tightly, and Gongsun Wuzhi still yelled out of control: "You thief!! Why did you frame me?! I treated you well, but you are so heartless! Meng Yang, you will die !!"
Meng Yang was very calm from beginning to end, he didn't even move his eyelids.
This is the sleeping palace of the emperor, how can Gongsun be ignorant and yelling wildly?Ji Lin said with a cold face, "The evidence is solid, how do you want to argue?"
But Gongsun Wuzhi said: "Son of Heaven! I didn't poison! I didn't poison Taifu Qi! I didn't do it at all!"
Gongsun Wuzhi refused to admit it to death, and Ji Lin said coldly, "Take it down, and take care of the prison."
"Yes!"
The Huben army immediately listened to the order, escorted Gongsun Wuzhi and the eunuch Meng Yang, and went to the prison. Gongsun Wuzhi did not obey, kept shouting and struggling, but the Huben army was all elites, and Gongsun Wuzhi's The kung fu is not as good as the Huben army, let alone the hands and feet are still tied.
Gongsun's ignorant shout gradually faded away, and soon disappeared...
Gongsun Wuzhi and Meng Yang were escorted down, but Ji Lin's face was still very ugly. If Qi Lv had to feed the supplements to the fish because of his own taste, then the person who died of poisoning might be Qi Lv himself.As soon as Ji Lin thought of this, he felt terrified, and his heart panicked violently, his heart acupoints became ruthless.
Ji Lin said in a cold voice: "This Gongsun is ignorant and bold, we must not let him go lightly."
Looking at the scene where Gongsun Wuzhi and Meng Yang were being escorted, Qi Lu seemed lost in thought, and then said: "Son of Heaven, Lu believes that there may be something inside this matter."
"The evidence is solid, so what else is there?" Ji Lin said, "Even the eunuchs around Gongsun Wuzhi confessed."
Qi Lv shook his head and said, "Gongsun's ignorant motive is very strange, please think about it carefully, Son of Heaven."
Ji Lin is a smart person. Although he is not a calm person, he is not a reckless person either. He is just impulsive occasionally.Now Qi Lu is involved in this matter, so Ji Lin's concern is chaotic, and he has been impulsive for a while. Now Qi Lu asked him to think carefully, and Ji Lin also slowly frowned. It seemed that it was indeed a bit unusual. The place.
Qi Lv said: "According to the eunuch Meng Yang, Gongsun Wuzhi wanted to poison the law and poison the law because he recommended Youyu because he remembered the law. This makes sense on the surface, but it doesn't stand up to careful scrutiny Think about it... If Gongsun Wuzhi really hated Yu Yu for robbing the Qi State Mission, why did Yu Yu, the 'culprit', have nothing to do with himself, but Lu, an indirect person, was going to be poisoned?" Is the circuit too tortuous?
Even if Gongsun Wuzhi bears a grudge, then Yu himself should be the first person to bear a grudge. Since Yu is fine now, he can "alively" detain both Gongsun Wuzhi and Meng Yang. Lu, an indirect person, was almost poisoned to death. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
Qi Lv said: "So Lu privately thinks that Gongsun Wuzhi's motive for poisoning sounds reasonable, but it doesn't make sense when you think about it carefully. Maybe it is really like what Gongsun Wuzhi said, he was framed."
Ji Lin frowned and said, "Framed? If Gongsun Wuzhi was framed, who was the one who poisoned him?"
Qi Lu stroked his chin and said, "Meng Yang must know this person."
The one who testified against Gongsun's ignorance was his trusted eunuch Meng Yang. This case is nothing more than two results. One is that Gongsun is innocent and Meng Yang is telling the truth; the other is that Gongsun is innocent and Meng Yang is a false accusation.In this way, Meng Yang is very likely to know the person who accused Gongsun of ignorance, and may be related.
Qi Lu narrowed his eyes and said: "This matter is interesting. Although Lu usually offends a lot of people, there are really not many people who want to put him to death."
What Qi Lu said is the truth, although Qi Lu has indeed offended many people on weekdays, Qi Lu has always been safe and sound, and there are really not many people who want to put him to death so clearly, there are only two reasons, one is No guts, the second is incompetence.
After all, Qi Lu is in a high position, he is the head of the Luoshi royal family's three princes, it is almost impossible to kill such a high-ranking official, it requires not only courage, but also the ability to cover the sky with one hand.
Qi Lu said thoughtfully, "Lü is a little interested in this."
"Let me go!! Let me go!"
Gongsun Wuzhi was escorted out of the emperor's bedroom by the Huben army, and went to the jail. Gongsun Wuzhi could not submit, shouting and struggling all the way: "Let go of me!! I am the Gongsun of Qi, and I have not poisoned you!" , Why do you arrest me! I am innocent!"
Gongsun Wuzhi yelled all the way, and many palace people stopped to watch. The news spread like wildfire, and soon spread to the posthouse, and the servants of the Prince of Qi immediately ran back to report.
"Congratulations, prince! Congratulations, prince!" The servants said with a dozen smiles: "Prince, the eunuch Meng Yang accused Gongsun Wuzhi of poisoning, the emperor was furious, and ordered Gongsun Wuzhi to be imprisoned. Congratulations for losing your mind and worrying about it!"
Prince Zhu'er laughed loudly, as if he was very happy, and said, "Okay, that's great! That little boy Lu Wuzhi actually wants to fight me? I am the orthodox of the Qi State, and his grandson is nothing! !Unfortunately……"
Prince Zhu'er sighed sadly, and said: "Then Qi Lv is also fateful, and he didn't manage to kill him!"
The follower said: "The prince borrowed a knife to kill people this time, and got rid of Gongsun Wuzhi. It is already a great joy. The world of Qi will belong to your prince sooner or later."
Prince Zhu'er said: "Thanks to the careful eyes and ears I arranged around Lu Wuzhi, I never thought it would be so useful."
The eunuch Meng Yang who is the eunuch next to Gongsun Wuzhi is who else the prince Zhuer arranges to be the eyes and ears of Gongsun Wuzhi.
That day Qi Lv went to a banquet and saw the prince Zhu'er talking with an eunuch, at that time he only looked at a piece of robe, but did not see who it was, that person was undoubtedly the eunuch Meng Yang.
Although the eunuch Meng Yang is an old man who follows Gongsun Wuzhi, he is actually the work of the prince and his sons who put Gongsun Wuzhi next to him. He will tell all the details of Gongsun Wuzhi on weekdays, so as to prevent Gongsun Wuzhi from being too favored in Qi State .
The follower hesitated, and said: "Prince, although this Meng Yang is your confidant, but... now that Meng Yang has been imprisoned, I'm afraid... if you confess to the prince, what should I do? "
Prince Zhu'er raised his hand, stopped the follower, and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry, this Meng Yang is my dog, so why would he bite his master back? He is the most loyal, and he will never die. I won’t say a word, just feel at ease.”
Prince Zhu'er seems to be very relieved of Meng Yang, but there is a reason for this.There are two kinds of eunuchs these days, one is the so-called eunuchs, and the other is ordinary people, not all eunuchs are necessarily disabled.But there is a kind of eunuch who must be incomplete, and that is the eunuch who wears a sinful body.
According to the law of the Spring and Autumn Period, anyone who is guilty can be exempted from the death penalty as long as he is castrated.The "famous" Shu Diao in the Spring and Autumn Period was such a figure.The records of Shu Diao in history are very intriguing. It is said that Shu Diao "Diao Shi, a eunuch of Qi, leaked his teacher to Duoyu", which means that Shu Diao was a spy in Duoyu.
No matter what era it is, missing a teacher is a serious crime, and it is a capital crime. But according to the law, as long as you come from the palace, you can be exempted from the death penalty. Not only that, you can also enter the palace to serve the dignitaries. He became one of the treacherous ministers who controlled the government in the late period of Duke Huan of Qi. In the end, he starved to death the ruler of the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi, in his bedroom.
Meng Yang was also guilty of this, but he was not guilty of the crime himself, but was implicated and convicted.After Meng Yang entered the Qi Palace, his status was very low and he was often bullied. Later, he met the prince Zhu'er.
Prince Zhu'er took Meng Yang in, and felt that Meng Yang was a deep-minded and prudent person, who was very suitable to be his eyeliner, so he sent Meng Yang to Gongsun Wuzhi.Gongsun Wuzhi didn't know that Meng Yang was the eyeliner sent by the prince Zhu'er, so he kept Meng Yang by his side all the time.
Because the princes and sons are kind to Meng Yang, they are completely relieved, saying: "Meng Yang is very pedantic, and he will not betray him to the death, just feel at ease."
Ji Lin told Qi Lu not to worry about this matter, he would send someone to check it out, now that Qi Lu is injured, it is better to rest at ease and heal his injuries, and not leave any trace of the disease behind.
Qi Lu has been recuperating in the house for a few days, and he is already hairy. He has not been able to enter the dining room these days, and his palms are itchy. Some good food to come.
Qi Lv couldn't bear it that day, he found out that the Son of Heaven was quite busy today, and he would never have time to look at him, so he sneaked out of the house, and took the lamb shoulders to the dining room, like a thief.
"Xiao Yang Xiao Yang, take a quick look, is there anyone?" Qi Lv hid behind the rockery, poked his head around, and waved his hands, letting Yang Yang go to "spout".
Li Yangjian was very helpless, took a few steps forward, looked left and right, and said, "Teacher, there is no one."
"Shh!" Qi Lu immediately made a silent movement, and said, "Don't call me Tai Tuo, if someone overhears you, you will be arrested again."
Sheep Shoulder: "..."
Qi Lv looked left and right again, but there was no one there, so he tiptoed, took the sheep shoulders and continued to sneak towards the dining room, hiding all the way, as if he was doing some espionage activities, and sneaked to the door of the dining room.
When Qi Lu saw Zheng Gong's dining room, he was inexplicably very kind. They also lived in Zheng Gong for a while before, and Qi Lu was no stranger to the dining room here, and the relationship with the cooks here was also very close.
Qi Lu walked towards the dining room with a smile on his face. As soon as he entered, he hadn't been able to greet the cooks cordially. Who knew that Zheng Guo's cooks showed a shocked expression when they saw Qi Lu.
"Teacher Qi?"
"Mr. Qi, why are you here?"
"Isn't Tai Tuo seriously injured?"
The cooks ran over quickly, maybe it was Qi Lu's illusion, he always felt that these cooks were blocking the door of the dining room, and he had no room to go in.Qi Lu took a step to the left, and the cooks followed suit, still blocking Qi Lu's way.
I heard the cooks say: "Teacher, you can't enter the dining room."
"No?" Qi Lunahan asked, "Why?"
The cooks said in embarrassment: "The Taifu doesn't know something, the emperor... the emperor issued an edict to prevent the Taifu from entering the dining room while he is recuperating. Look, the edict board is still here."
Qi Luding took a closer look, it wasn't an imperial edict, he didn't expect the emperor to do things so terribly, Qi Lv even sneaked over here, but the emperor came to take a draught from the bottom of the pot and directly issued an edict to the cooks.
The cooks looked bitter, and said: "Teacher, don't embarrass the little ministers, you should go back to recuperate quickly, the emperor is also worried about your injuries, if you... If you really step into the dining room , my little ministers... the little ministers are going to have to walk around without food!"
Qi Lu: "..."
Qi Lv was stopped outside the dining room, and the cooks "begged hard", but there was nothing they could do, and they were "driven" out of the dining room in desperation.
Yan Yangjian looked calm, and said: "Teacher, let's go back and rest, the Son of Heaven is also for the sake of Taifu."
Qi Lu said: "Little Yang, why have you turned your elbows out recently? You are the Taifu's housekeeper, not the emperor's housekeeper."
Li Yangjian was still very calm, and said: "Teacher, how can you turn your elbow inward? Anyway, I don't know how to do it."
Qi Lu: "..."
Qi Lu was rejected by the dining room, and he was unwilling to go back to heal his wounds obediently. With a movement of his eyes, he suddenly raised an inscrutable smile, and said, "Okay, then Lu will not be cooking in the palace, and go to the lamb. Go out of the palace with the Taifu!"
Sheep Shoulder: "..."
Qi Lu couldn't cook in the palace, so he simply sneaked out of the palace gate. The emperor was guarding day and night, so he didn't expect that Qi Lu would boldly leave the palace.Qi Lu asked for a delivery car at the bus office. The officials at the bus office all knew Taifu Qi and knew that Taifu Qi was someone not to be messed with. As soon as he opened his mouth, the officials of the Public Transport Department immediately prepared a luggage cart graciously, covered it with thick soft cushions, and equipped it with a riding slave, and sent Taifu Qi out of the palace for "business".
Qi Lu went out of the palace and asked Yan Yangjian to drive the carriage to Jizhong's mansion.
Ji Ya suddenly heard that the carriage came from the palace, and thought that the emperor had something to ask someone to bring his uncle into the palace, but he didn't know that was not the case, it was Taifu Qi who came out of the palace to find him.
When Ji Ya heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran out to greet him, saying, "Brother, why are you here!?"
Qi Lu came down from the carriage with a smile on his face, and said, "Why, brother is not welcome?"
"How could it be?" Knowing that Qi Lu was injured, Ji Ya immediately carefully helped Qi Lu get off the carriage, and said, "Slow down, slow down! Brother, come, I'm too late to be happy."
Qi Lu said: "Brother Wei wants to borrow your family's... dining room."
"Dining room?" Ji Ya looked confused, there is also a dining room in the palace, why did Qi Lu rush to his house?
Ji Ya thought about it, suddenly laughed, and said yes, it must be that his brother missed him, and he was too embarrassed to say it outright, so he said he wanted to use his own dining room.
Thinking of this, Ji Yadeng was so beautiful that his snot bubbles almost popped out, he giggled and said, "Okay, dining room! Brother just use it, use it however you want, if brother likes it, you can dismantle it!"
The two were talking, and by coincidence, another black car stopped at the gate of the Ji family's mansion, and someone came out of it, wearing a white robe and a white fluffy cape, with broad shoulders and a tall figure, With a face like a crown of jade, isn't he the most beautiful grandson of Zheng Guo?
In summer, Gongsun Zidu's clothes are made of silk, thin and slippery, which sets off his tall and sexy figure. Now it is winter, although he is wearing thicker clothes, he doesn't look bloated at all, on the contrary, he even more sets off his male figure. The grandchildren are all tall and straight.Although the face is handsome and delicate, it is not feminine at all, but rather handsome.
Gongsunzi all stepped down from the carriage, and those few steps showed the grandeur of the Gong clan to the fullest.
When Ji Ya saw Gongsun Zidu, his mood was completely different from that of Qi Lu, and he said, "Why are you here?"
Gongsunzi heard Ji Ya and Qi Lu talking and laughing from a long distance away. It is no exaggeration to say that the voice could be heard from the gate of Ji's house to the gate of the palace. Everyone heard it along the way, and Gongsunzi came , Ji Ya's voice is much "indifferent", not an attitude at all.
Gongsunzi squinted his eyes and said, "Your sons are all here to find the priest."
Today, Gongsunzi and Jizhong have something to talk about, most of which is about the wedding, because the marriage between Gongsunzi and the daughter of Qi State is a big event, and Jizhong, as the Prime Minister, naturally has to be busy.
Ji Ya curled his lips, pulled Qi Lu and said, "Brother, let's go, I'll take you to the dining room."
Ji Ya pulled Qi Lu and left, throwing the back of Gongsunzi's head. Gongsunzi stared at Ji Ya's back as he went away. go forward.
Ji Ya brought Qi Lu to the dining room, turned his head and said, "Didn't you come to see my uncle? What are you doing in the dining room?"
Gongsunzi said calmly: "The priest is entertaining guests, so I came a little early. I have always heard that Taifu Qi's cooking skills are superb. Today I have time and want to observe Taifu Qi's cooking skills. "
Ji Ya glanced at him in distaste, and ignored Gongsun Zidu, and said to Qi Lv, "Brother, what do you want to eat today? I have all kinds of ingredients here, brother just pick the best ones for use!"
Qi Lu looked around, he didn't eat for a few days, his hands were very itchy, in fact, Qi Lu wanted to eat today, there is also a purpose, this is the first purpose...
Qi Lv was going to finish the meal and take him to Jail An to see the "weird" eunuch Meng Yang.
The second purpose is for Zheng Boxu's birth.
The day before yesterday, Qi Lu fed Zheng Boxian's beloved fish with poisonous supplements. Although Qi Lu didn't know that the supplements were poisonous, it did poison Zheng Boxian's favorite fish.Qi Lu heard that Uncle Zheng was sick with anger, of course, "it's just a few fish", and Uncle Zheng couldn't ask the emperor to pay for it, but Qi Lu still couldn't make it through.
He had no place to find fish to compensate Zheng Bowu, so he had to cook some vegetables and send them to Zheng Bo, as compensation.
Qi Lu thought for a while and said, "Brother, do you know what flavors Zheng Gong likes?"
"Duke Zheng?" Ji Ya didn't know why Qi Lu suddenly asked Zheng Boxiu, with a confused look on his face.
Gongsunzi listened nearby, chuckled, and said, "Brother Jun? Brother Jun's food is very ordinary, and he has never had any preferences or preferences. You might as well ask Zidu if you ask the little gentleman."
Both Gongsunzi and Zheng Bo’s younger brothers, Zheng Bo has always trusted Gongsunzidu, and the two got very close, and Gongsunzidu is also the head of Zheng’s clan. If you think about it, it is true that Gongsunzidu has a relationship with Zheng Bowu. Get closer.
Zheng Boweisheng has no preferences or taboos for food, and he doesn’t call out what he wants to eat on weekdays. Zheng’s dining room has always been peaceful, and Zheng Boweisheng is a "workaholic". Excess energy is devoted to governing the country.
Unexpectedly, when Ji Ya heard it, he immediately sneered and said, "Brother, you are asking the right person when you ask me! My younger brother really knows what your lord loves to eat."
In fact, it is not Ji Ya who knows, but Ji Zhong. Ji Zhong is the Prime Minister of the State of Zheng, and he is deeply trusted by Zheng Bowei. Sacrifice Zhong.
Whether it's food, clothing, housing, or transportation, everything that Zheng Bowei gave birth to was arranged by Ji Zhong himself, of course, including those few dead fish...
Ya Yashen said mysteriously: "Brother, you must not guess, in fact, the king likes to eat large intestines!"
"Large intestine?" Gongsunzi frowned when he heard that, his handsome face was full of disgust. Although nobles in this era also eat offal, it's not that they don't eat it, but Gongsunzi has always hated the smell of offal and couldn't eat it. , he never eats these, the taste is very light.
Qi Lu was also taken aback, didn't he expect Uncle Zheng to be so harsh?
Ji Ya vowed, and said: "Really, I heard what my uncle said, and I can't be wrong, it is Dachang! But ah, the cook in this palace can't make Dachang well, it's either toothache, or it's too embarrassing. very."
Qi Lu thought about it, Dachang?Is it difficult to like to eat large intestine?I also like it. The taste of the large intestine is chewy and tough, and the key taste is particularly fragrant, with an oily fragrance.However, if the internal organs are not cleaned, they will indeed feel fishy and greasy.
Qi Lu immediately came up with an idea. It happened that there was a large intestine in the dining room. Qi Lu not only brought the large intestine, but also got some lungs. Seeing that the tofu was prepared in the dining room, he also brought a piece.
Ji Ya looked at Qi Lu's skillful preparation of the meal, just looking at this action, he became hungry for no reason, stood beside him with a salivating face, rubbed his palms and said, "Brother, what delicious food are you going to make?"
Qi Lu said with a smile: "Boiled and boiled."
"Fire?" Ji Ya can be regarded as someone who has seen the world, Qi Lu has done this before, Ji Ya thought, is it just "small sesame cakes"?But how to eat biscuits and large intestine together?Is it possible that the large intestine is sandwiched between sesame seed cakes?
Ji Ya thought about it, and instantly made it weird, so he didn't guess at all. Anyway, every time Qi Lu made a meal, Ji Ya never guessed it right.
This stewed fire is indeed made of large intestines and other "pig offal", but it is not a large intestine sandwiched with sesame seeds, but a famous food in old Beijing. However, almost all old Beijingers do not like this bite. of.Braised and boiled fire is simply a must-eat snack when you go to Beijing. If you have only eaten roast duck in Beijing but not stewed fire, you have not really been to Beijing.
This stewed fire is actually a pot of soup that is boiled with pig water, and then made with noodles to make special dead noodles, cut into small diamond-shaped pieces, and boiled into the soup.The soup mixes the flavors of the large intestine and lungs, and it is richer and more mellow than pork. Tofu must be fried until it is charred on the outside and tender in the inside. It's not rotten, not only not rotten, but also very chewy.
The authentic stewed soup, although it is an old soup made with pig offal, has absolutely no peculiar smell. Instead, it is full of the aroma and mellowness of internal organs, which cannot be replaced by pork.This marinated stewed meat actually originated from Su Zao Meat, but Su Zao Meat was stewed with pork belly. At that time, many people could not afford pork belly. Later, they used pig offal as a substitute. Who knew it was cheap? The soup made from the goods is richer, has a unique fragrance, and is cheap, so it quickly became popular.
Although it was said that the stewed and boiled fire in the past was only a low-level food, but it has become a kind of gourmet culture even today.
Qi Lu cleans the large intestine and lungs, and mixes them with various seasonings. The authentic stewed soup is the old soup, but Qi Lu doesn’t have time to cook the old soup at the moment, so he can only use seasoning instead. Although he can’t fool experts, Zheng Bowei I must have never eaten stewed stew in my life, so I don't know what it tastes like.
Qi Lu was making the soup, and then he started to burn it. As soon as he babbled, a scent soon wafted out, and Ji Ya sniffed his nose vigorously, and said, "This...it smells so good!"
Different from the smell of meat, the smell of internal organs is more overbearing and mellow. As the heat slowly evaporates, it is indescribably attractive and makes people move their index fingers. Ji Ya can't tell what it is like, anyway, it used to be I have never eaten this kind of taste, and I have an urge to swallow my saliva.
Speaking of the large intestine that Zheng Boweisheng loves, Ji Ya also dislikes it, because Zheng Guo has no experience in making large intestines. In Ji Ya’s impression, the large intestine is not very delicious, and it is very dirty. Cooked by the expert hands, the large intestine is almost "reborn".
Gongsunzi frowned at first, but soon he also smelled the fragrance of the seed. Not exaggerating, even Gongsunzi sniffed it lightly twice.
The cold winter is the most suitable for eating braised fire. In cold winter, eat a bowl of hot stewed soup. The warm soup is combined with the smooth and chewy boiled fire. It is warm and satisfying in the stomach. It is also special. satisfaction.
Qi Lu looked at Ji Ya's "so greedy, so greedy" expression, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "It's not healed yet, wait a while."
Authentic stewed stew pays attention to fire cooking but not rotten. After Qi Lu has cooked the fire, he boils the fire into the soup, then scoops it up, fires and cuts the well-tac-toe knife, and quickly pours the soup, large intestine and The lungs are covered on top, and the fried tofu is full of soup, full of ingredients.
Qi Lu filled two soybeans and brought them to Ji Ya and Gongsun Zidu. Immediately, Ji Ya couldn't bear it any longer. He took a bite of the soybeans in the dining room, his eyes lit up, and said, "This...how is this soup? So fragrant? It's so fragrant!"
The Xili Hulu eaten by the Yasutra has no image at all. The grandsons and grandsons didn't believe it at first, but smelling the fragrance and seeing how contagious the food is, they scooped up a piece of boiled fire with a small dagger and tried it. After trying it, I couldn't help being surprised by the handsome appearance, but there was no strange smell at all.
Seeing the reactions of both Ji Ya and Gongsun Zi, Qi Lu knew that the stew he made was very strong, so he immediately made two more servings, put one of them into a large lacquer food container, and gave the other to Ji Ya. Tooth, said: "Brother, I trouble you to send this stewed stew to the palace and dedicate it to Zheng Gong."
Ji Ya smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I won't steal food!"
Qi Lu smiled helplessly, and said: "There is still some left in the pot, if my brother likes it, I will cook it for you some other day."
Qi Lv was carrying a large lacquer food and another portion of stewed food, and he was going to go to the prison to see the eunuch Meng Yang.
Qi Lv and Yan Yangjian borrowed the dining room of the priest's family, and quickly got into the carriage, instead of going back to the palace, they went to the prison.
It's dark and humid, especially in winter, it's even colder and biting when you walk in, but the food in Qi Lu's hand emits a mellow smell, which is more sensual/desire than meat. In the prison, it is simply "disgusting the scenery".
Qi Lu walked in, and before seeing Gongsun Wuzhi and Meng Yang, he heard Gongsun Wuzhi's energetic voice, which was already hoarse, and was still yelling at Meng Yang.
Gongsun Wuzhi clawed at the fence of the prison cell, tired of cursing, but he refused to give up, saying: "Meng Yang! You white-eyed wolf! How will I treat you? You actually framed me and put me to death!"
Meng Yang sat calmly on the floor of the prison cell, almost blending into the dark environment. His face was usually dull, and he looked lifeless. He slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Gongsun Wuzhi in the opposite cell. Finally he spoke, and said lightly: "Why should Gongsun waste his energy? Let's save some energy."
Gongsun Wuzhi slammed the prison cell hard, made a loud "clang clang" sound, and said, "You fart! How can I save energy?! I wish I could go out and strangle you to death!"
Gongsun Wuzhi shouted, but suddenly his voice stopped, because he smelled a scent of seeds.Ever since he was imprisoned, Gongsun Wuzhi hasn't eaten a good meal. Every day, there are leftovers, which are extremely dirty. Gongsun Wuzhi considers himself a nobleman of Qi State, a descendant of Jiang Taigong, how can he bear it? Such humiliation is one that would rather die than eat.
Gongsun Wuzhi didn't eat, and yelled again. He had no strength for a long time. Now he was at the end of his battle. When he suddenly smelled such a strong aroma, his stomach immediately let out a "thundering sound" , I wish it could resound throughout the prison.
Gongsun Wuzhi's face turned red, and he heard the sound of footsteps. When he fixed his eyes, it turned out to be Qi Lu!
Gongsun Wuzhi immediately said: "Teacher Qi, I really didn't poison you!"
Qi Lu walked in, but looked at the eunuch Meng Yang, and said, "Meng Yang, you should be the most clear about whether Qi Gongsun has poisoned you?"
The eunuch Meng Yang didn't look up, as if Qi Lu wasn't talking to him.
Qi Lu smiled, and didn't ask any further questions, but said: "Lu heard that Zheng Guo's prison food is not very delicious. In the past, Song Gongzi and Yi also stayed in this prison for some time. Lu is The one who knows this most well, the taste of the vegetables and rice is not only so-so, but also the portion is pitifully small, you must not be full, right?"
The eunuch Meng Yang's eyes finally moved, and he said flatly: "Teacher Qi doesn't need to talk to the minister, the minister has already said what he should say, and there is nothing more to say."
Qi Lu smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, Lu didn't come here today to ask you to talk, but to bring you food, and this meal was prepared by Lu himself."
Meng Yang was not attracted by the aroma, he just said: "I won't even take a bite, Taifu, please go back."
Qi Lu smiled and said, "It's okay."
Qi Lu walked slowly, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't eat, but Lu will still come. He will come today and tomorrow, and he will come to influence you with the delicious food that Lu personally cooks. Meng Yang, what do you say?" Tell me, come here a few more times, will the real master hiding behind you become suspicious?"
When he said this, Meng Yang immediately frowned, and Gongsun Wuzhi stared at Qi Lu with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand what Qi Lu was saying.
Qi Lv said again: "This kind of thing is a matter of putting a long line to catch big fish. As long as Lv is patient enough, your master will definitely become suspicious. At that time, even if you are loyal, he may not be able to hold back. To kill you to silence you, Lu only needs to lay an ambush under the trap, and wait for him to throw himself into the trap, why not?"
Gongsun Wuzhi finally understood, and immediately said pleasantly: "Teacher, do you believe me! I really didn't poison you, I was framed by Meng Yang."
Qi Lu said to Gongsun Wuzhi very kindly: "Does Qi Gongsun want to arrest the chief envoy behind Meng Yang?"
Gongsun Wuzhi's voice was extremely hoarse, his face was ruthless, and he said, "Naturally!"
Qi Lu said: "Then Lu will wrong Gongsun for a few days, please cooperate with Gongsun."
Gongsun Wuzhi said: "As long as you can catch that turtle grandson, what's the point of being wronged? Taifu, tell me, how do you want me to cooperate with you?"
Qi Lu raised the food in his hand with a smile, and said, "Then please trouble Mr. Gongsun... Let's have something delicious."
"Ah?" Gongsun Wuzhi looked confused, and fell into confusion again, staring at Qi Lu with staring eyes.
The eunuch Meng Yang doesn't eat the food that Qi Lv sent, but Qi Lv intends to put a long line to catch big fish, so he must create an appearance that Meng Yang has already eaten the food, just right, Gongsun Wuzhi is very hungry, Qi Lv The hot stewed fire was handed over to Gongsun Wuzhi.
Gongsun Wuzhi thought it would be some kind of hard work, but he didn't know it was such a beautiful job. He was very hungry, cold and hungry, and immediately snored, holding the soybeans and started eating, saying, "It's so fragrant, so delicious!" ! Support... support me to death..."
Meng Yang's face was dark, seeing Gongsun Wuzhi finished eating the hot stew, Qi Lu didn't talk nonsense to Meng Yang, packed up the empty soybeans, and left with the food. Before leaving, he spread the news and tried his best After exaggerating, Taifu Qi came to visit the criminal minister Meng Yang, and Meng Yang ate up all the delicacies that Taifu Qi made with his own hands.
Qi Lu spent a whole day "surging" outside, seeing that the sun was about to set, he came back from outside the palace in a cart.Qi Lu quietly entered his courtyard, looked left and right, it was calm, the emperor didn't seem to notice at all, maybe the emperor didn't know that he ran out for a whole day.
Qi Lu planned to go back to the house before the emperor came, pretending to be well-behaved and recovering from illness. He opened the door and walked in. Because the sun sets early in winter, the house is dark and there are no lights, so Qi Lu went in in the dark, thinking To light the lamp.
Qi Lv fumbled in the dark, and suddenly felt a slippery object, a little slippery, with a little curve, um...it seemed to be a very good fabric, and it felt good, it was next to the table.
Qi Lu was a little strange, did he pile up his clothes beside the table when he was leaving?Qi Lu's eyes quickly adapted to the darkness, and he didn't need to turn on the lamp at all, so he gasped with a "ho—" immediately.
What Qi Lv touched was not cloth, and it would not be appropriate to say it wasn't cloth, and it was indeed cloth, but the cloth was wearing on the emperor's body...
The house was pitch-black, and the Son of Heaven was sitting on the side of Qi Lu's desk without anyone noticing, waiting for Qi Lu, the "little white rabbit", to throw himself into the net, and a waiter came.
The voice of the Son of Heaven came from the darkness, saying: "Why, the Taifu has been out for a day and doesn't know the widow?"
Qi Lu: "..."
With a "wow", the emperor lit the candle, and this time Qi Lu really saw the handsome... black face of the emperor.
Qi Lu coughed, and immediately cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Wang Lu knew I was wrong when Lu saw me..."
The emperor chuckled, and said: "The Tai Tuo admits his mistakes faster and faster, so the Tai Tuo will tell you, where is the mistake?"
Qi Lu's scalp was numb, and he said: "Lü's fault is...should not have sneaked out of the palace."
The Son of Heaven let out a "hmm", with a sexy voice mixed with a touch of hoarseness, which was inexplicably pleasant, and said, "What else?"
Qi Lv thought for a while, then squeezed toothpaste and said, "Lv's fault is...should not have gone to prison secretly."
The emperor's eyes immediately became sharp
