Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss

"Where did the boss get so many eyeballs?"

The strange thing is that those eyeballs seem to have no smell on the surface, but when Lu Yushun eats it, it seems that his life is almost gone.

This can't help but make Sun He curious, how unpalatable is that food that can drive a ruthless murderer who doesn't care about gouging out the eyes of living people to the point of crying and begging for mercy?What is it like?

"Boss, what kind of eyeballs are so unpalatable?"

Sun He couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked Su Yuan repeatedly.

"Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you in detail.

The sour and stinky tofu and the fish that I didn't have time to throw away yesterday were chopped together, wrapped in flour mixed with white mud, and wrapped into the shape of eyes, and then decorated with fish eyes to form eye pupils.

Steam it a little bit, but not completely, so that the stuff wrapped in the flour will produce the best flavor, and it will not spread out, keeping the most intense flavor—”

"Boss, boss, stop talking, besides, I can't even eat dinner."

The more he listened to the picture, the stronger his sense of the picture became. Sun He covered his mouth, barely holding back the desire to vomit.

The fish in the water is always fishy, ​​but now that the weather is hot, the smell will definitely be more fishy if left overnight, and the tofu that has been sour and smelly for two days is mixed together and becomes sticky...

At this moment, Sun He could already imagine the taste of these eyeballs, it was definitely a thousand times worse than real rotten eyeballs.

In short, you can't offend the boss if you offend anyone, so keep this in mind!

"Grandma Zhang told me to give him a bowl of pig food, but even if he is a death row inmate, I can't fool him casually. I have spent some time, and it is more serious than roasting a whole lamb." Su Yuan sighed.

She made too many delicious dishes, and she also enjoyed this kind of dark cuisine.

Sun He laughed inwardly, and complimented Su Yuan on the surface: "Yes, yes, the boss has spent a lot of thought on making this dish, and ordinary people must not be able to make it. Lu Yushun is blessed to be able to enjoy it Boss craftsmanship."

Meeting the boss, counting him as a bad luck for eight lifetimes, but he deserves it!

……

In the afternoon, when the public trial in Kaifeng Mansion opened, Lu Yushun no longer had the indifferent expression he had in the previous trial.

He shrinks back and is very easily frightened, especially when he hears the word 'eye', he is even more frightened and frequently makes the appearance of vomiting.

However, before Lu Yushun was taken to court, he had already vomited.Right now he couldn't vomit anything, he could only retch, as if he was going to vomit his heart, liver and lungs, it was extremely uncomfortable.

When Bao Zheng slapped the startled wood to question Lu Yushun, and when the crowd of onlookers criticized him, countless words about eyes came at him overwhelmingly.

Lu Yushun suddenly felt that his mind was full of eyes, and when he thought of eyes, the indescribable stench seemed to fill his nose and throat, so disgusting, disgusting, disgusting...he was going crazy!

Lu Yushun kowtowed in tears and kept shouting that he was wrong and begged to die quickly.

Seeing Lu Yushun's regret and confession, Xu Miaocui finally let out a bad breath, and the anger in her heart calmed down a little.

She grabbed Su Yuan's hand, thanking Su Yuan for showing up in time to save her, and thanking her for accompanying her to the trial today.

"I have one more thing to ask." Xu Miaocui explained embarrassingly, "My mother is not in good health. I was afraid she would worry about this, so I didn't tell her. I told her that I sprained my ankle halfway and was hit by the sun again. I was dizzy from the sun, and I met a kind girl who took me back to Kaifeng Mansion. I came to Kaifeng Mansion these two days to thank my benefactor."

But now Xu Miaocui's mother doesn't believe her a little bit, thinking that she may be involved in a lawsuit.Xu Miaocui wanted to ask Su Yuan for help to reassure her mother.

"My family lives in Qinghe Village, not far from Beijing. Could you trouble Miss Su to come home with me?" Xu Miaocui looked at Su Yuan beggingly.

"Okay."

When Su Yuan agreed, there was a sound of "yes" from the onlookers in the courtroom.

The dog's head fell, beheading Lu Yushun.

Lu Yushun's mother also came today, but she didn't dare to get close to the crowd and just hid quietly on the periphery of the crowd.When she heard the shouts and learned that Lu Yushun had been beheaded, she smacked her lips twice and then fainted.

But instead of arousing everyone's sympathy, she was scolded instead. Not only did everyone dislike her for raising the son of a murderer, but they even disliked her because she yelled "my son is wronged" before fainting.

Her son was wronged?Those who were almost killed, those who were blinded, and those innocent cats and dogs, they were even more wronged!

Seeing that the yamen servants were already handling this matter, Su Yuan stopped taking care of it, and said to Xu Miaocui: "Then let's go."

"Where are you going?" Zhao Qingrong appeared in front of Su Yuan in men's clothing again.

Zhao Qingrong wanted to come to play with Sun He today, but when he heard that the Kaifeng Mansion was opening a public trial and allowing the people to watch, he knew that this case must be serious.Zhao Qingrong came here to inquire about something, and later learned that Su Yuan played a significant role in this case.

Unexpectedly, Su Yuan, who looks petite and exquisite, has such a womanly side.

Zhao Qingrong wanted to find Su Yuan and express his appreciation to her.

"I heard that if it wasn't for you, that Xu Miaocui would have died long ago?" Zhao Qingrong asked.

Su Yuan smiled: "Let me introduce to the county lord, her name is Xu Miaocui."

Zhao Qingrong was stunned for a moment before he noticed Xu Miaocui.She rubbed her nose in embarrassment, then blinked away to ease her embarrassment.

After Xu Miaocui heard about Zhao Qingrong's distinguished status, she quickly and carefully saluted her.

"Excuse me, excuse me."

Zhao Qingrong touched her nose again, and when she learned that Su Yuan was going to send Xu Miaocui home, she immediately stated with a straight face that she would also come along.

"The county lord has a noble status, so it seems inappropriate to come to a small village like ours." Xu Miaocui hesitated.

"What's not suitable, the small village is better, simple and natural, I just want to return to the basics. Besides, the world is under the control of my emperor's cousin, and I just help him see how the people in the small place are doing. Also, you guys Two delicate and weak girls are going on the road, who knows if they will encounter danger halfway, I am also kind enough to protect you!"

After Zhao Qingrong raised his neck and explained the reason, he didn't allow them to comment, and ordered his subordinates to prepare the car.

The carriage walked naturally fast, and arrived at Qinghe Village less than half an hour after leaving Beijing.

This village really lives up to its name. There is a small clear river with a lot of plum trees beside the river.

"It's so beautiful here in spring. You can enjoy the plum blossoms. When the wind blows, there will be petal snow everywhere." Xu Miaocui happily introduced to the two, "Although there is nothing to see at this time of year, but in a few days the plums will be gone." It's ripe, it's something to eat."

"Plum wine is delicious." Zhao Qingrong echoed.

Su Yuan looked at Li Shulin in a daze and didn't speak for a while.

"What are you thinking?" Zhao Qingrong asked.

"I thought of a common saying." Su Yuan said.

"What proverb?" Zhao Qingrong continued to ask.

Su Yuan smiled at her, saying it was nothing important.

"Zhao Qingrong wanted to listen, so he said willfully: "Since it's nothing important, then you should talk about it. "

"Peaches are full, apricots hurt people, and plum trees bury people to death."

Zhao Qingrong: "..."

Xu Miaocui: "..."

The two people who had a good atmosphere before, their smiles gradually disappeared.

Su Yuan shrugged innocently, she didn't want to say it, but someone insisted on her saying it to spoil the fun.

Zhao Qingrong was silent for a moment, then asked Su Yuan: "Is it true? People will be buried under plum trees? So many plum trees—"

"County Lord, this common saying actually means that plums should not be eaten too much, otherwise people will die easily."

Xu Miaocui hurriedly explained that it didn't mean that Li Zishu had a dead person.

Zhao Qingrong nodded, it seems that she should drink less plum wine in the future.

When they arrived at Xu Miaocui's house, a pair of boys and girls ran out and called Xu Miaocui her sister.Looking closely, the boys and girls are about the same height, seem to be the same age, and look somewhat similar.

Xu Miaocui smiled and introduced her brother and sister to Su Yuan and Zhao Qingrong, calling them twins.

"No wonder!"

Dragon and phoenix twins are not common, but Zhao Qingrong is quite rare, and quickly praised Xu Miaocui's mother as a blessed person.

"Conceiving twins is a hundred times more difficult than carrying one child. Not only during pregnancy, but especially during childbirth, troubles are prone to occur."

Su Yuan made another disappointment.

Zhao Qingrong glared at Su Yuan dissatisfied.

Xu Miaocui didn't mind, and immediately responded to Su Yuan's words: "It's true, my mother has suffered a lot for this, and it's because she hurt her body after giving birth, and her health has not been very good until now."

"Miao Cui, you're back."

Mrs. Dong came out of the back room slowly, holding on to the door frame.Her lips were pale, her footsteps were flimsy, and she couldn't stand steadily. At first glance, her body was extremely weak, and she had obvious symptoms of insufficient energy and blood.

Xu Miaocui introduced Su Yuan and Zhao Qingrong to Mrs. Dong, who was terrified and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Zhao Qingrong in time.

"Don't worry, ma'am, Miss Xu did faint on the road. I helped her later and brought her back to Kaifeng mansion."

Su Yuan's elliptical explanation is not a lie, but it can also achieve the purpose of reassuring Dong.

Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Su, for your kindness in helping her, but I was overthinking it. I thought that the child went to Kaifeng Mansion to provoke some kind of lawsuit. I was afraid that I would be worried, so I refused to tell me."

After saying goodbye to Xu Miaocui's house, Zhao Qingrong asked about Xu Miaocui's father.

"My father went to the south with the eldest son of my third uncle's family to do business. After going there, he never came back. It must have been more than two years. But every year he would ask someone to send money to us. Our life is better than before. It's much better, my mother no longer has to worry about the money for the medicine, but my father has suffered because of it, and he has to travel around all the year round." Xu Miaocui explained.

Zhao Qingrong patted Xu Miaocui's shoulder to show comfort.

Compared with these ordinary people, she is really very lucky. She was born in a wealthy family and was loved by her parents.

Reluctant to let go, Xu Miaocui finally sent Su Yuan and Zhao Qingrong to the gate of the village before they bid farewell.

It happened that Xu Miaocui's third uncle came back from driving an ox cart outside the village, and Xu Miaocui hurriedly said hello.

Xu Da'an jumped off the carriage with a smile, and stuffed a pack of snacks into Xu Miaocui's arms, "Take it back and eat."

Xu Miaocui was about to be polite, but was stopped by Xu Daan, who changed the subject and asked her: "Who are these two?"

Xu Miaocui hurriedly introduced, at first when Xu Daan heard about Zhao Qingrong's identity, he felt terrified and hurriedly saluted.

But when Xu Da'an heard that Su Yuan was an official of Kaifeng Mansion and was good at investigating cases and autopsies, Xu Da'an's face changed slightly, revealing a very obvious panic.

Su Yuan acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and after greeting Xu Da'an with a smile, he said goodbye to Xu Miaocui.

Before leaving, Su Yuan glanced at Xu Daan again, and saw cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

After entering the village, Xu Da'an hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Miaocui on the pretext of having something to do.

He ran back to the house in a panic, and poured a whole pot of tea into his stomach.Only then did he calm down a little, and sat down at the table.

"What did you do to be so guilty?"

A female voice suddenly sounded in the room, and Xu Daan was startled. As soon as his body shook, the man and the stool fell to the ground together.

Trembling, Xu Daan followed the prestige, and saw Su Yuan sitting on the window sill of the east window at some point.

Su Yuan was very indifferent, and when Xu Daan looked at her, he deliberately smiled at him in a friendly manner.

Xu Daan was so frightened that he almost lost his wits, he knelt down tremblingly, and shouted: "My lord, spare me!"

"I'm not an adult, Master Bao is, but you don't have to worry, you should see him soon. After all, it's about the life of Xu Miaocui's father!"

Seeing that Xu Daan was so timid, Su Yuan guessed that he would be able to find out the truth by tricking him.

"The dog-headed guillotine in Kaifeng Mansion just finished killing a villain today, but I'm not afraid of killing a second one. The knife, the more you use it, the brighter it will be."

Xu Daan was even more frightened when he heard this, and his whole body trembled.

"Xiangnu, please forgive me, I was really kind at the time! Seeing their family's life is hard, I asked my eldest son to take him to the south to do business.

Unexpectedly, when he was invited to have a drink that night, and when he was discussing things to go to the south, he drank too much and fell into the river on the way home. The river was so shallow that he drowned him like this.We can't think of it either! "

"Why didn't you report to the official?" Su Yuan asked.

"I wanted to report to the government, but Miao Cuiniang's health is not good. If she knew the news, she would die of illness and die of illness. That would mean the lives of two people, and the three children would all become orphans.

We discussed burying him, and lied to their mother and son that he had already left for the south early.My family pays a large portion of the money given to his family every year, and the other brothers make up for it.I know that I'm sorry for them, if I hadn't called Miao Cui's father to dinner that night, how could such a thing have happened! "

"It sounds like you are not the only one who knows about this matter?" Su Yuan continued to ask.

Xu Da'an nodded and agreed: "My elder brother was the first to discover the body, and then informed the village chief. I only found out later, and explained the process to them. Finally, we discussed this method together."

Su Yuan: "Where is the body?"

"The plum grove by the river."

Zhao Qingrong, who was eavesdropping outside the window: "..."

The dead are really buried under the plum tree!As the saying goes, sincerity does not deceive people!

After that, Su Yuan ordered Xu Da'an and others to dig out the bones quietly, and carefully inspected the condition of the bones according to the autopsy method taught to her by Gongsun Ce.

Judging from the currently available inspection methods, there is no sign of poisoning, and every bone is intact, with no signs of fragmentation or damage.It seems that the deceased may indeed have died by drowning.

In addition to the testimony of the village chief, Uncle Xu Miaocui and others, the suspicion of homicide is relatively low.Furthermore, with Xu Daan's guts, the honest man who confessed all his secrets in less than three sentences really didn't look like a murderer.

However, in order to ensure everything was safe, Su Yuan asked the people of Kaifeng Mansion to check it again. After confirming that the suspicion of homicide was ruled out, Xu Da'an and others' good intentions were fulfilled, and Xu Miaocui's family was still kept from knowing the matter.

When Xu Miaocui's mother is in better health and the children are older, Xu Da'an and the others will choose the right time to let them know.

"You are a kind person, so you don't have to feel so guilty. Everything you do is out of good intentions, and no one wants to think about accidents."

After Zhao Qingrong praised Xu Daan for his kindness, he gave him a lot of precious medicinal materials for nourishing blood and nourishing qi, and asked Xu Daan to pass them on to Xu Miaocui's mother.

Xu Da'an hurriedly thanked Zhao Qingrong on behalf of Xu Miaocui's family, and also thanked Su Yuan and Kaifeng Mansion for caring about human feelings and handling all this secretly, so that Xu Miaocui's mother could avoid knowing the truth and avoid excessive sadness.

Because Zhao Qingrong followed the whole process, he felt that this case was both sad and heartwarming.

"In other cases, I only saw the ugliness of the human heart, but in this case, I saw the beauty of the human heart."

Su Yuan nodded perfunctorily in agreement.

"What you people from Kaifeng Mansion are doing is really meaningful." Zhao Qingrong sighed again.

Su Yuan continued to nod.

"Hey, did you listen to me carefully?" Zhao Qingrong yelled at Su Yuan dissatisfiedly, "I just thought you are very smart and powerful, don't spoil my good impression of you."

"Then should I shake my head?" Su Yuan asked puzzled.

Zhao Qingrong took a deep breath, pointed at Su Yuan, "Unreasonable! How stupid are you right now!"

"I guess I'm hungry."

Su Yuan clutched her stomach and looked up at the stars in the sky.Regarding her behavior of being hungry and still listening to Zhao Qingrong's random emotions, she felt that she was very sad and great at the same time.

"You didn't say earlier, I'll treat you to dinner, how about Yaoguang Tower?" Zhao Qingrong asked straightforwardly.

Su Yuan's eyes immediately brightened, "The county lord is magnificent!"

Zhao Qingrong didn't think much of it at first, but when she got to Yaoguang Tower, she saw how much Su Yuan could eat, and she was good at ordering food.

Five Gizzards, Mandarin Duck Belly, Ginseng Chicken Soup, Fang Yu Rui Soup, Budding Gizzards, Lychee White Kidneys, Honey Fried Ten Healing...

After a meal, the 200 taels of silver ticket she brought out was almost spent.You must know that she also has a share of monthly money. She owns a lot of valuables, some of which are even priceless, but those are gifts from the emperor. I don't have much spare money.

The county prince's mansion does have a lot of money to spend, but her father recently heard that she was always running out, so he informed the accountant in the mansion that she was not allowed to pay her any money.

Su Yuan ate up less than half of her remaining private money at once, and blamed her for being extravagant and not knowing how to save money.

"Thanks to the county lord, I have eaten all the dishes I want to eat in Yaoguanglou today, thank you!"

Su Yuan rubbed her stomach happily, and suddenly heard Sun He's voice outside the window, calling her to come up.

"Miss Sun, whom the county lord most admires, is here. She has been away for a day today, and she probably didn't have time to eat dinner."

Zhao Qingrong: "..."

Cooperating with them to catch her big fat sheep, can they be slaughtered, right?But is there any way, the words have already been spoken, is the dignified county lord going back on his word and admitting that he is ashamed?Even if she is going to make jewelry today, she has to bite the bullet and agree.

Sun He's appetite was even better than that of Su Yuan's. A sumptuous table of food and wine was placed in front of her, and in a blink of an eye, the wind swept away.

When everyone said goodbye late at night, Zhao Qingrong walked more simply than ever.She was afraid to run a step slower, and she heard the two of them say that they were hungry, so she was dragged to eat supper.

Sun He raised his hand, but before he could wave it, Zhao Qingrong disappeared.

She scratched her head, feeling something was wrong.

In the past, when Zhao Qingrong saw her, he always had an adoring face, always pestering her, asking her to talk about the affairs of the Jianghu, and even asking her for advice on kung fu moves.

"What happened to her today? Why is it different from usual?" Sun He asked Su Yuan suspiciously.

"Friendship is too cheap, it hurts when you see money." Su Yuan sighed leisurely, then stretched and went to sleep.

"I'm just wondering, Boss, why don't you gain weight by eating, drinking, and sleeping like this? And why is the flesh on your body so obedient?" Sun He stared at a round place, couldn't help reaching out his hand, and was caught by Su Yuan immediately slapped it away.

"I really want to know why?" Su Yuan asked.

Sun He nodded immediately.

"I'll give you the answer tomorrow morning."

……

Sun He felt that he had just fallen asleep when Su Yuan woke him up.

"Get up, it's time to practice martial arts."

Sun He sat up in a daze, looking at the sky outside the window, it was pitch black.

She rubbed her eyes in confusion, and said sleepily to Su Yuan: "Did I get the time wrong? It's still dark."

"It's not enough when it's dawn, get up quickly." Su Yuan directly wet the towel and covered Sun He's face.

Sun He shivered suddenly, and finally regained consciousness.

Then she followed Su Yuan all the way to the eaves and walls, jumping walls and houses, to the forest beside the moat.Then there was a lot of exhausting martial arts, and then the legs were hung upside down on the branches and the body was pulled up.

In the end, Sun He really couldn't stand it anymore, she just lay on the ground with her dead body, was so tired that she fell asleep in a daze, and when she was woken up again by Su Yuan, her genius was about to dawn.

Please note that up to now, the sky - just - fast - Meng - Meng - bright!

Frustrated!

Sun He felt that she was not well, but she saw that Su Yuan was in good spirits after the exercise. On the way back, she thought her speed was slow, and worried that it would be easy for people to notice if she went back too late.

She finally knew where all the food that Su Yuan ate was consumed, and finally knew why her meat was so obedient, and she also knew why she had never seen Su Yuan practice martial arts, but she saw her unpredictable martial arts... It turns out She practiced so intensively in the early morning when everyone was asleep.

Mrs. Mrs. is so insane!

When Sun He followed Su Yuan back to the Kaifeng mansion with a 'bouncing' at last, his head drooped, he was wilter than an eggplant beaten by Shuang.

Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao and others all got up early to practice martial arts at this time, and accidentally saw Sun He and Su Yuan.

Zhan Zhao laughed and asked Sun He if he also got up early to practice martial arts like them.

Sun He laughed twice, and suddenly felt that he had the right to despise these two masters of the rivers and lakes.Are you getting up early?Sister, I have already traveled around half of Tokyo city, and spent half the night jumping by the moat!

"Haven't woken up yet?" Seeing that Sun He didn't answer him, Zhan Zhao just smiled weakly twice, and asked her again.

Bai Yutang noticed the sweat on Sun He's head, "Have you finished training?"

Sun He immediately felt Su Yuan's warning gaze, and she straightened her neck.

"No! I had a nightmare, and I was so scared that I was sweating coldly, so I asked Sister Su to accompany me to the latrine!" Sun He laughed, "I'm lazy, how can I study so early like Zhan Daxia and Bai Wuye? Wu."

Then Chao Mahan and others also came, and everyone greeted livelyly, but no one cared about Sun He's situation.

After returning to the house, Su Yuan said with distaste that he would not bring Sun He with him next time, as a delay.

Sun He: "..."

Thank you so much, I never intend to go again!

"Eh? Why is my head sweating, but the boss isn't?" Sun He asked puzzledly as he wiped the bruises on his head.

"When I was by the river, I scrubbed my face clean." Facing Sun He's aggrieved eyes, Su Yuan explained, "You slept too hard to wake up."

Sun He completely bowed to the boss: I can't learn, I can't afford to learn, and I just resign myself to my fate and look up obediently.

Well, she's going to bed.

For breakfast, Su Yuan cooked sea cucumber porridge, which was fresh and nourishing.

When Su Yuan was having porridge with Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao and the others, someone suddenly sent a message that a woman outside the Kaifeng mansion came looking for her.

Everyone knows that Su Yuan has no relatives outside. The last time someone outside gave her something was a pair of eyeballs.

"Could it be that someone came to give you eyeballs again?" Zhao Hu asked half-jokingly.

Wang Chao slapped him, "Can you talk!"

"The woman didn't bring anything, but she said she came to find her lady, and said that the lady is waiting for the lady to come home." The messenger boy continued.

"Miss?" Zhan Zhao was somewhat surprised.

Bai Yutang, who was always too lazy to worry about other things, also put down the chopsticks in his hand at this moment, and looked at the messenger boy.

The servant who sent the message immediately agreed: "Yes, she called Miss Su Miss, and said that her wife is Miss Su's biological mother.

The villain also finds this strange. Didn't Miss Su's mother die a long time ago?That's why I felt that the matter should not be delayed, so I didn't care about the situation that the masters were still eating, so I rushed to report immediately. "
