I'm watching the gate in the jail

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, the baron's mansion began to make various preparations for the festival.

As the owner, Wanda, his body has finally recovered almost.Not only can he get out of bed and walk around, but he can even take a walk along the garden of his baron's mansion with a teapot in his hand, and guide Wan Lan to fight.

Ever since the young master Wanlan made his oath to be an authentic Jinyiwei and said that he would never change it, Wanda took the opportunity to torment him.

Every morning before dawn, Wanda asked his servants to drag Wan Lan out of bed.Asking him to squat on horseback, do boxing exercises, and swing a small stone lock, euphemistically called "dancing after hearing the chicken", in fact, he wanted this kid to quit sooner.

It is enough to be an honorable person, to be kind to thousands of households with a salary.Why are you so serious, why do you have to rush to the front with a knife and start doing it?

Your father and I were young and ignorant and country bumpkins who came to Beijing for the first time, so we didn't know the rules inside.

You serious little lord can just be a dude, why do you want to be so motivated...

Wanda also threatened him that to practice martial arts, he should "practice three nines in winter and three days in summer", "dance when he hears chickens" and "never leave his fists".

Originally, he thought that this spoiled and spoiled child would not be able to bear it, and he would give up in a few days, just like the messy hobbies he had before he gave up.

Who knew that the young master not only persevered, but the more he practiced, the more interesting he became.

When Alan was very young, her health was not very good, and she was a bit like Zhu Jianshen's childhood.In order to exercise his body, Wanda once asked Gao Hui to take him to do legion boxing exercises for a period of time, gesticulating with his hands and feet.

At that time, the young master was not like this, he could be slippery whenever he could, and be lazy whenever he could, which made the honest man very embarrassed for a time.

Now, not only does he get up and run laps every day before Yinshi, but he also asks his father to call Uncle Gao or Uncle Yang to his home to be an on-site instructor—Wan Lan despises his father's three-legged cat kung fu, and feels that he will sooner or later follow Lao Wan's learning. "Misunderstanding someone's son" was broken on the back of the head.

"I took him to the house of Yang Qianhu a few days ago. His eyes lit up when he saw the set of [-] kinds of weapons in Yang's small school yard. Now he is urging the housekeeper to fill up a garden in the backyard. , and make a small training ground for him. I have to go to the weapon shop to buy weapons, horses, archery targets and straw men, and my good baron’s mansion will be converted into an escort agency by him.”

In the Hall of Martial Arts, Wanda sat next to the little scorpion at Zhu Jianshen's feet as usual, sighed, resting his chin on one hand, with a helpless face.

"In the past, if he was disobedient, I could still beat him. Now he is not afraid of beating. As soon as I come out with the cane, he will take the initiative to stick his butt up."

As Wanda said, she pointed her butt at Zhu Jianshen.

"Gao Hui said to him—the so-called "steel is made of a hundred times", and those who practice martial arts should not be afraid of hardships or pain. After being beaten a lot, their skin thickened, and their muscles and bones strengthened, they will no longer be afraid of being beaten. Anyway, now I can't tell if this kid's kung fu is not good enough, but his skin is really much thicker than before."

After speaking, Wanda let out another long sigh.

He raised his head, looked at Zhu Jianshen pitifully and said, "Your Majesty, your son is too difficult to discipline, why don't you send two well-behaved servants or nuns from the palace to the mansion to put a 'tightening spell' on this child 'Bar."

Zhu Jianshen recalled the heroic demeanor when Ah Lan entered the palace the day before yesterday and danced swords with Chief Waiter Wan.Looking from the side, the two of them, mother and son, were almost carved out of the same mold.

This child is as precocious as he is, and has inherited the heroic spirit of Minister Wan. It was indeed born of their husband and wife.

Thinking of this, the pride of being a parent surged in Zhu Jianshen's chest. He smiled and shook his head, "This child is eccentric by nature, and I don't want to hold him back. You can take care of him, Uncle Lang."

Wanda immediately pulled his face away.

"It's really not possible. After he finished school every day, I asked Ah Zhi to accompany him to ride a horse in the imperial horse prison and perform martial arts. The eunuchs there are all very skilled, and it is better than him alone in the baron's mansion. Tossing around and hurting myself. Boys should run and jump more."

Zhu Jianshen thought for a while and said.

"Then I thank Lord Ron."

Wanda hurriedly climbed down the pole.

"By the way, Uncle Lang..."

After talking about my son, I finally got to talk about business.

Zhu Jianshen tilted his body and hooked his fingers at Wanda.

"How did you manage to make those black foxes attack their master?"

Although they were outside the hall that day, they could clearly hear Li Zilong's shrill screams when he was dying.The sound of howling was comparable to that of a hundred ghosts crying at night, and even now when I think about it, I can't help but get goosebumps all over my body.

The door of Fengtian Hall was opened that day, and after Yang Qianhu came out with Xiao Lang in his arms, the troops of the imperial army went in to clean up the corpse of the demon.

Although he didn't witness it with his own eyes, according to Ah Zhi and Wynn's description, Li Zilong was bitten alive by more than a dozen black hornets with sharp teeth.As long as the clothes are not covered, basically there is no complete piece of flesh and blood.

In the end, the knife that Yang Qianhu gave him was not so much the final result for him, but rather the release of him from the state that life would have been worse than death.

After killing Li Zilong, those black foxes were also beheaded by Yang Qianhu and Ah Zhi one by one. The smell of black foxes, the smell of sulfur from explosives, and the smell of blood mixed together, making the entire Fengtian Temple stink to the sky. .After the palace people cleaned it, they had to ventilate for three or four days before they could completely remove the disgusting smell.

It is said that these big black foxes pretending to be the legendary monster "Hei Yao" were carefully raised and trained by Li Zilong. It is said that they should only obey Li Zilong's orders, so how could they attack their master instead?

"Hey, actually, this is really not a secret, Ah Zhi should know."

Wanda laughed when he heard this.

"I also asked Ah Zhi, and Ah Zhi only said that you threw a sachet to him before asking them to extinguish the candle. Then Ah Zhi joined forces with Yang Qianhu to fight against the demon in the dark. , opened the sachet, and sprinkled the powder on Li Zilong's toga sleeve... I just can't figure this out—where did your magical sachet come from, why did it get on it, Those black foxes don’t listen to orders anymore?”

Zhu Jianshen was full of doubts.

"That sachet was taken out by Ah Zhi from Zhaode Palace for me."

Wanda replied.

"How could there be such a thing in Zhaode Palace?"

Zhu Jianshen was greatly puzzled.

"Your Majesty, earlier that day, I took Jin Yiwei's men and horses to the bombed Imperial College. They found that a large number of black foxes and the cages used to imprison these foxes were dead in the back row of private houses where the explosion occurred. It was at that time that we learned the true face of the so-called 'black scorpion', which was nothing more than a well-trained fox. Moreover, Li Zilong raised more than one black fox. According to the number of cages found by Jin Yiwei, there are about More than 20."

It is said to be "black fox", but in fact, where can you find so many pure black foxes, half of them are ordinary red foxes dyed black with dye to make up for it.

"I checked the number of fox carcasses we picked out, and found that there were only less than ten, which did not match the number of cages. Foxes are different from puppies, and it is difficult to train them to achieve results. It is absolutely impossible to release them in the wild. They were raised outside. So I concluded at the time—the remaining dozen or so foxes must have been taken away by Li Zilong."

So after they entered Fengtian Hall that day, Wanda kept observing the beams.It is impossible for the black fox to be far away from Li Zilong. He judged that the dozen or so black foxes that have not shown up for a long time are Li Zilong's last "killer".

"Even so, what does this have to do with the sachet?"

"This training of animals is nothing more than buying food and stimulating pain to form a 'conditioned reflex'..."

Wanda said shaking his head.

It is really rare that his biology knowledge was not returned to the junior high school teacher.

"What is 'conditioned reflex'?"

Zhu Jian frowned deeply.

Uncle Xiao Lang stopped speaking human words again.

"Either give it food or beat it, and the animal will be obedient."

After Wanda finished speaking, he thought to himself that this seems to be no different from his raising A Lan...

"Also, brother-in-law, have you ever thought about that Hei Hao has never seen His Majesty before, and Li Zilong has never entered the palace before, why that Hei Hao rushed towards you without hesitation in Fengtian Palace that day?" ?”

Zhu Jianshen was thoughtful, "You mean..."

"The court lady Yun'er was originally named Qiuxiang. The empress thinks the name is indecent, and she is the court lady in charge of all incense affairs in Zhaode Palace, so she changed her name to 'Yun'."

Yun, vanilla also.

This girl Yun'er is a master of spice preparation, all the incense, incense sticks, and incense balls in Zhaode Palace are processed by her hands.

Every day, she is also responsible for fuming the clothes of the three masters who live in Zhaode Palace. All these are done by herself, and she will never leave the hands of others.

"You mean, she tampered with the spices that smoked my clothes every day?"

After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, he lowered his head and smelled the smell on his body, his expression changed.

Although Yun'er was dead, the spices and spice recipes she left behind were inherited by the maids who moved into the new palace, so Zhu Jianshen still used the original spices.

However, as the saying goes, "I have been in the house of Zhilan for a long time without smelling its fragrance, and I have been in the place of abalone for a long time without smelling its stink", Zhu Jianshen has long been accustomed to this faint fragrance on his body, and is surrounded by it every day. I can't feel its existence for a long time.

"Li Zilong trains the black fox to kill people. There must be a goal. The special scent on you and the prince is used as the symbol of the black fox."

Wanda pointed at Zhu Jianshen.

"The spices used by His Majesty and the crown prince to smoke clothes are all added with materials such as ambergris, amber and musk that only emperors can use. Yun'er gave some of the special spices to Feng Yinan, the servant, and let Feng Yinan Take it out of the palace and give it to Li Zilong. When Li Zilong trains foxes every day, he will definitely use human puppets for them to kill and bite. He sprinkled this special powder on the puppets, so As soon as the foxes smell the spice, they become very irritable and open their mouths to bite."

Wanda said, waving her teeth and claws twice.

This is also the reason why the black fox that appeared in Zhaode Palace later killed Zhu Youtang. Fortunately, it was protected by the loyal Aunt Wan'er, and Wang Zhi arrived in time afterwards, otherwise the prince would suffer .

"When the people of Jinyiwei searched the Guozijian, although they had no spices, they found the puppets used to train the black fox. I looked at the half-burned puppets and felt that they were ordinary in appearance, so I thought Then there must be other tricks to make them recognize people."

Wanda said happily, "So I asked Ah Zhi after I entered the palace. Ah Zhi is careful, and all the odds and ends in Zhaode Palace can't be hidden from his eyes. Immediately thought of Yun'er's ability to mix incense." Son, and gave me the spices she prepared for His Majesty and the Crown Prince."

Zhu Jian took a deep look at Wynn and Tan Chang who were standing silently aside, and snorted.

The two were sweating profusely.

"And, according to my speculation... Li Zilong ordered those black foxes to squat on the beams, but he didn't actually want them to come out to harm me in the first place."

Wanda groaned.

"According to his plan, it should wait until the next morning, when His Majesty had to agree to his request to abdicate with all the people in the capital as hostages. At his so-called 'enthronement ceremony', all civil and military officials and foreign envoys In front of you, after you hand over the emperor's seal, he will command those 'black beasts' to come..."

When Zhu Jianshen heard the words, he clenched his fists tightly angrily.

That Li Zilong's mind is extremely vicious, how can he really treat the Zhu family's descendants kindly with the prince's courtesy as he said.

What he had to do was to let a dozen black foxes bite Zhu Jianshen to death in broad daylight and in full view of everyone!

Those officials didn't know the true face of this "black monster", maybe they really thought that these monsters were the illusion of the so-called "Qi of Taiyin".

At that time, Li Zilong will use some tricks to create an even more eye-catching effect.I am afraid that those officials and envoys would believe without hesitation that Zhu Jianshen's murder by Hei Yao was "divine punishment from heaven".

And Li Zilong's accession to the throne is the real compliance with the "destiny of heaven", and he is even more worthy of the name "True Son of Dragon".

"This monster... just died like this, it's too cheap for him!"

Zhu Jianshen gritted his teeth and said, "Wynn, pass on my order, after that Li Zilong's body is whipped, then divided into five horses, and finally crushed! Bones! Raised! Ashes!"

Zhu Jianshen said word by word.

Wynn hurried forward to receive the order, and when he stepped back, he took a deep look at Wanda.

Uncle Xiao Guo, please say something good...don't make His Majesty unhappy anymore.

Wanda, who is more monkey spirit, smiled apologetically at him and nodded.

"That monster is too conceited. He never imagined that his plan would be disrupted by me, Lord Yang, and Ah Zhi. The three of us walked out of the illusion he specially arranged and besieged him. In order to fight for ourselves in the dark Paul, he had to use whistle to call out the foxes lurking above, and use whistle to direct them to cull Weichen."

"Unexpectedly, I had predicted this in advance. As soon as the black fox appeared, Ah Zhi followed my instructions, opened the bag containing the spices, and sprinkled all over Li Zilong's body. As a result In the end, that monster died in the hands of the beasts he raised, it was really a 'heavenly egg ring, retribution is not good', it is 'self-inflicted'!"

"Good! What a 'self-inflicted'!"

Zhu Jianshen's blood boiled with excitement, and he patted the table excitedly.

"Uncle Lang, you made such a great contribution this time, saving the entire capital... Tell me, what should I reward you for?"

He waved his hand generously, "Say, do you want to be promoted? Or mention the title again? Or give you another level of Lumi?"

"Hey...Actually, money and rank are no longer a big concern for me. I just have an idea..."

Wanda was so reserved, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"But it doesn't matter."

Zhu Jianshen was in a good mood and decided to love his brother-in-law again today.

"Your Majesty knows that the 'Xinghaihui' I opened in the east of the city is doing pretty well."

Wanda scratched her head.

"Is it just 'not bad'? I heard that the people in the entire Gyeonggi call it the 'No. [-] Building in the World'."

Zhu Jianshen joked, "It is said that there is everything there is to eat, drink and have fun, and you can have different kinds of fun for a few days. I heard Qin Chang and Ah Zhi mention it, and I was moved by what I said."

"Hey, all this is not thanks to His Majesty's great blessing. The entire Daming Hai Qinghe Banquet, the capital is the capital of the highest benevolence, and the elite gathers, and the people are rich. This small business that I run can have so many people come to support me."

Since Wanda rescued the group of teachers and students in the Imperial College last time, his rumored identity as the boss behind the "Xinghaihui" has also been completely confirmed.

Only then did the big guys know that those pretentious rumors were actually true!

The famous "Great Master of Xinghai" in the Ming Dynasty is really the brother-in-law of the current emperor, and he is also the current second in command of the Jinyiwei North Town Fusi "Wan Xinghai".

Wanda originally thought that "falling off the horse" this time and taking the initiative to reveal his subcutaneous identity would completely disappear the mysterious brilliance of "Great Master of the Star Sea", and the followers were completely disappointed.Even with three cookbooks that have been reprinted for an unknown number of times, they may be unsalable, and his restaurant business has also plummeted.

Who knows that the ending is completely beyond his imagination.

These three books actually ushered in a new wave of panic buying!

The unscrupulous bookseller added a few words to the front of the titles of these three books, and changed them to "Kyoto Royal Food Treasures", "Kyoto Ouchi Dinglu" and "Jinghua Imperial Yellow Grain Collection".

These booksellers have been in contact with the person in charge of writing for many years. They don't know the true identity of "Xinghai", nor do they know that this is a recipe written by Tangtang himself.

Now that I know, the booksellers rounded it up—this is the royal recipe in the palace, and rounded it up again—it says that it is the dish that the emperor and the ladies eat every day!

In modern society 600 years later, more than 100 years after the death of the Qing Dynasty, there are still people who like to put gold on their faces, buy a house to buy "Royal Family Garden", drink "Royal Family Special", and even go out to wash their feet You must order a "Luxury Royal Package".Not to mention the people of the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago.

You only need to spend a few taels of silver to learn the recipes of royal classic dishes, and you don’t have to worry about exceeding the standard. Who would not be willing to spend this money?

The business of "Xinghaihui" is getting more and more popular, and the same Daolong

It is said that the dishes served in this big restaurant are personally designated by the shopkeeper, and the cooks are all trained by the shopkeeper Master Wan himself.Then eating at "Xinghaihui" is equivalent to enjoying the royal cuisine.

This has led to the "Xinghaihui", which was already doing very well in business, and now has to queue up for meals every day, and it will be even worse when it comes to New Year's Day. There are so many people that they need Jinyi guards to maintain order.

Originally, the bosses in the capital saw Jinyiwei like a mouse seeing a cat, and it was too late to dodge.But when they saw Jin Yiwei at the gate of "Xinghaihui", their eyes would light up, and they were so excited—look!Sure enough, it was the restaurant opened by the emperor's brother-in-law, and all the brothers-in-law's men came to serve as bodyguards!Oh, my brother-in-law is really nothing, he actually uses public equipment for private use.Look, look!

Wanda visited the store twice after recovering from her injury, and was startled by the excited crowd at the door.I thought that this would be an online celebrity shop after 600 years, but it's a pity that there were no mobile phones and webcasts in the Ming Dynasty!

I thought this kind of chaos would lead to a new wave of impeachment from those civil servants, but I didn't expect...it's been such a long time since he was carried out of Fengtian Palace by Yang Xiuxian, and now he has recovered from his injury and returned to Beizhen Fusi. Here, not a single impeachment memorial has ever been presented to the emperor's desk!

Wanda was taken aback after hearing what Wang Zhi said.

You must know that since he came to the capital from his hometown in Bazhou at the age of 16 and entered the Jinyiwei yamen, the admonition officials, rumors, and officials impeached him were basically 360 five days a year, and only the few days of the Chinese New Year would stop once. stop.

That's big bombs, small bombs are played every day, even if he has made outstanding achievements in Guangxi and Jiangxi, and has been continuously rewarded by the emperor, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the officials to impeach him.

At one time, he thought it was his righteous deed of sacrificing his life to protect the entire capital that touched those old and small stubborns. From then on, he could finally get rid of the fate of always being impeached.So he mentioned it when Qiu Zijin came to visit him.

"What do you think?"

Qiu Zijin immediately rolled his eyes, "Isn't it because you took in Ji Siye and Master Tang before, the teachers and students of the Imperial College, in order to express their gratitude to you, took the initiative to ask those admonishers to show mercy to you."

Wanda was left speechless.

Therefore, the civil official group cannot afford to be offended.

"The Guozijian was bombed, and the teachers and students were all displaced, so they could only live in the vacant courtyard of the Ministry of Rites. I thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be in two days, so I simply invited them to Xinghaihui for a reunion dinner. We have prepared a cultural performance..."

"What did you say?"

"What I mean is that 'Xinghaihui' is going to perform festive songs, dances and small plays, so as to have fun with the people."

"So you're here to tell me that you have a big business?"

Zhu Jian gave him a deep white look.

"Hey, that's right, Chen, I want to open a branch in Nanjing."

After going around for a long time, Wanda finally got back to the topic.

"Nanjing has a lot of nobles and rich people. I think, what we have in Yingtian Mansion, Shuntian Mansion must also have it. Your Majesty, do you think this is Dao Yuanjun?"

There is an imperial palace in Beijing, and there is also an imperial palace in Nanjing.Beijing has three provinces and six departments, and Nanjing has everything.

In addition, the relatives of the old Zhu's family gathered there, and that was a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. The most important thing was rich and leisure people.

Wanda thought that if he could open the store to Nanjing, it would be much better than Zhu Jianshen giving him a bunch of official money from the Ministry of Households that might be fake money.

"You are not yet 30 years old, but you want to go to Nanjing to retire? Are you far away from Kyoto?"

No matter what kind of person Zhu Jianshen is, he immediately heard the deep meaning behind what Wanda said.

"His Majesty……"

Wanda knew that he couldn't hide from this extremely intelligent emperor, so he had to admit, "I thought, I have been a Jinyiwei for so many years, and it's time to 'retire bravely'. There are also Jinyiwei yamen in Nanjing, and I can do things for your majesty there." .”

"Humph……"

Zhu Jian took a deep look at him, "Uncle Xiao Lang is only 28 years old this year. The new undergraduate champions are half a round older than you, and I even praised him as 'the future is promising'. Uncle Xiao Lang is now in his prime. It would be too early to say 'retire bravely'."

As he said that, Zhu Jianshen said in an almost angry tone, "Don't you know how I treat Uncle Lang? Are you afraid that you will fail if you are so successful? No! I won't agree, and neither will the imperial concubine."

If Wanda pats his butt and leaves, wouldn't A Lan also follow?

If A Lan is not in the capital, what will Master Wan do when he misses his son?What should I do again?

Absolutely not!

Don't even think about it.

"Actually, I have another consideration..."

Seeing that Zhu Jianshen's attitude was so firm, Wanda had no choice but to move the deeper level of Sushun Falcon

"Ah Zhi, he will be ready after the new year. Although he has a baby face and looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, he is already a young man. He is a young man who always lives in the palace. Avoid it..."

Wanda glanced at Tan Chang who was standing under His Highness, and said awkwardly, "Does Your Majesty still remember the agreement with the minister back then? Let Ah Zhi out of the palace when he grows up."

When he was negotiating with the emperor's brother-in-law, Mr. Qin Chang was present the whole time, so he could testify.

Hearing this, Zhu Jianshen frowned.

You are not joking, when Uncle Xiao Lang sent the child to Zhaode Palace 12 years ago, he did have such an agreement with him.

At that time, he still felt that Uncle Xiao Lang threw a hot potato to himself because of his deep affection with Concubine Wan Gui, which would break the rules in the palace.

But Ah Zhi is too good and caring.For more than ten years, Minister Wan has almost regarded him as his own son.During the days when Ah Lan was away, he took the place of the eldest son Cheng Huan at the knees, bringing infinite comfort to the husband and wife.

Not to mention that this child's outstanding performance in the "Black Shade" and the Fengtian Temple bombing case can be called "loyalty and bravery", which completely compares with the people in Dongchang.

Zhu Jianshen looked at Wynn with a little reproach.

"Isn't there still one year left? He won't be until next year. Uncle Lang, why are you so anxious?"

Hearing what Zhu Jianshen said, it was simply the emperor playing a scoundrel.

Wanda couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"According to the filter, men of low rank are not allowed to enter the palace. Uncle Xiaolang, you come here whenever you want! Have you avoided suspicion?"

The emperor then beat back again.

Back then, Wanda was allowed to enter the palace to accompany Wan Zhen'er at any time, but he made it himself.He also gave the "cheap" token.

Besides, after Yang Xiuxian wailed at the gate of Fengtian Palace last time, no one in the palace knew that Uncle Xiao Lang was "inhumane" and then he cut off his thoughts on women and started a "broken sleeve" with Yang Qianhu. Addiction" is here.No wonder Yang Qianhu is still in his 30s and still not married. It turns out that he has also climbed up to the uncle of the country...

Everyone in the palace, including Wan Zhen'er this time, knew that he was not interested in women anymore.

What does he need to avoid?

Don't they think that after more than ten years in a row, he has topped the "No. 1 Ranking of Evil Forces in Beijing", and he has become so mad that even the eunuchs will not be spared?

Nonsence!

"Ah Zhi is so capable, I still have something to entrust to him."

Zhu Jianshen became a dictator and no one could do anything about it.

"After the new year, I will create a new eunuch's office."

Zhu Jian paused for a moment, glanced at the two eunuchs Huai En and Qin Chang who both lowered their heads, and smiled slightly.

"It's called the 'West Police Factory'. Recently, I have asked Ah Zhi to choose the address of the Yamen's future office."

"And let Ah Zhi, as the admiral of Xichang, lead this brand new yamen."

Zhu Jianshen said firmly.

Although since rescuing Wang Zhi more than ten years ago, Wanda has predicted that there will be such a day sooner or later.But he managed to change Wang Zhihui's fate of becoming an eunuch, and there was still a little bit of luck in his heart, and he wanted to take him away from the capital before he grew up, and start a different life from then on.

Who knows, after going around in circles, the West Factory was established as scheduled.

Wanda was filled with emotion.

Sure enough, history is not so easy to change.
