Chef [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 25: I Work as a Cook in a Brothel

There were quite a few people involved in the case back then, Zhao Jiren was in charge, and those who were in charge of the affairs under him couldn't escape. Qin Ze knew the truth of how people's hearts are separated, especially the officials who hold power. Dig inside, there are surprises everywhere.

The brothel business seems to be low-class, but in fact, the customers they come into contact with are from all walks of life. Most of the men are so cheap that wives are not as good as concubines, concubines are not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as prostitutes, so Qin Ze dug out some officials who secretly dealt with brothels. No surprises, what's the surprise?The evil of human nature is immeasurable.

Qin Ze thought of the troubled times he lived in, why couldn't he bear to kill his own flesh and blood, exchanged his own children for other families' children, and the two families killed the children to eat meat. Selling springs, and what kind of vegetables are specially raised for food, abducting children, peeling off human skins and pasting them with animal skins, and selling them as strange beasts that can speak human language. This kind of thing has been seen a lot, but I can face it calmly.

But facing the pale young man, he couldn't speak cold and hard words, his heart softened into a puddle of water, and it seemed that something furry was scratching him, and he felt a little drunk, which was very strange , but also unbearable.

Qin Ze held himself back with difficulty before his gun went off, and suddenly said, "I came here today to meet these official prostitutes, and I have punished many criminals in the past few days. Filling up their wives, concubines and daughters as prostitutes, but I always feel that it is not appropriate."

Zhang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment before realizing that His Royal Highness wanted to hear his opinion. After hesitating for a moment, he still tentatively said, "Your Highness, don't you think the low status system... is very unreasonable?"

Qin Ze frowned. He gave Zhang Xiaobai a chance to make suggestions, but he didn't think that such a teenage boy would have much insight. Maybe growing up in a brothel would make him feel more sympathetic to those poor women. I beg him not to pretend to be an official prostitute. If he is more courageous and thinks that the whole brothel business should not exist, he will not be surprised, but he actually thought of the unreasonableness of the whole low status system, and dared to tell him , which surprised him very much.

Qin Ze has been thinking since a long time ago, what kind of country can have long-term peace and stability, and normal logical thinking can never escape the idea of ​​a rich country and a strong army. He did the same, but when he was dying But inevitably began to doubt, can the dynasty he established really last forever?Was the founding monarch of the previous dynasty more short-sighted than him?Or did he overlook something?

During that time, Qin Ze thought a lot, from the people's spring farming and autumn to the operation of the official system, to the development of social forms, what he thought most about was the so-called scholars, farmers, businessmen, Liangping, and lowly status. As a self-made emperor, he was actually the most What I disdain is the theory of blood. The royal family will not last forever, and the gentry will reshuffle the cards. Farmers cannot hold a hoe forever, and why are some people born with low status?

But Qin Ze didn't say these words to anyone, including his younger brother who had agreed to share the country. The younger brother is very good, but he can't talk to him anymore. In fact, he knows that no one can understand his thoughts. The emperor is lonely. This has been the case since ancient times, because he is the only person sitting on the throne, and others cannot stand in his place to think about problems, so they cannot resonate with him in thinking. However, the person he never found in his previous life until his death, at this moment Stand right in front of him.

It's hard to say what Qin Ze is thinking now, maybe he can't tell it himself, he looked at the young man with a little nervousness in his eyes, who seemed to feel that he had said something wrong, after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, " Gu is very surprised that you have such an idea, and this is what Gu wants to do in his lifetime."

Zhang Xiaobai didn't expect to get an agreeable answer, he just wanted to tell this person his truest thoughts, probably because his life was too short, which caused him to always have a kind of childlike innocence, but he really got it. He responded, but he himself was a little surprised.

The topic stopped there, the two of them didn't talk further, Qin Ze didn't want to stay in Yuxia Pavilion any longer, so he handed over some money to let the bustard withdraw Miss Chen's sign tonight, but he wasn't ready to go to bed by himself or really Zhang Xiaobai naturally wouldn't stay behind. Not long after, Qin Ze and Zhang Xiaobai walked on the streets of Shangjing in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Qin Ze didn't bring any guards around him today, and it wasn't the first time he went out like this. After coming out of Yuxia Pavilion, Qin Ze took Zhang Xiaobai around for a few steps, and came to a small courtyard.

Zhang Xiaobai was a little puzzled, Qin Ze opened the door with the key he carried with him, stood at the door and said to the young man, "This is Shen Hanlin's house in Shangjing. After the Shen family's accident, it was bought by other officials. In a few days, the third division will close the case." , you can take your mother to live here, she should like it here."

Zhang Xiaobai's throat twitched, and he swallowed what he wanted to say. He had misunderstood His Highness several times, maybe he hadn't seen normal monarchs and ministers get along with each other in the border for a long time, maybe this was the way His Highness treats people?

Qin Ze thought for a while, and then said: "I have just read the memorial presented by the Marquis of Dingbei. It is true that you are not old enough to be a first-class marquis directly. It is just right for you to succeed as Marquis of Zhengyang. There is nothing wrong with it, right?"

Zhang Xiaobai nodded hesitantly.

Qin Ze naturally saw the suspicious and uncomfortable look on the young man's face. He was very thick-skinned and did not explain. Instead, he smiled and raised his brows, and said, "It's getting late, everyone entered the house. Would you like to have dinner alone?"

Zhang Xiaobai had no choice but to nod. Originally, he wanted to go to the vegetable market to buy it now, but the house was not only cleaned up, but even the kitchen was freshly purchased. It can be seen that Qin Ze had prepared to come here early in the morning. Zhang Xiaobai didn't think about it. There are too many, and you cook in a familiar way.

Today is really a big surprise for Zhang Xiaobai. The matter of Shen Yanwei has always been his heart disease. He thought that it would be at least ten or twenty years before he wanted to reverse the case. Even if he fought on the battlefield, he might not survive. At that time, the immortals will go down to the earth to suffer, how can they live to the end of their lives in their seventies and eighties?His Highness Xingjun resolved this heartache once and for all, and he seemed to have found a little bit of the feeling of being light and unaffected before. He didn't have to think about anything, and it was enough to just focus on the pot at the moment.

The stove can give Zhang Xiaobai an unparalleled sense of security, not only because the stove is a place protected by the Stove Prince, but also because he has stood in front of the stove for millions of years, wearing an apron and holding a spatula. When he is at his calmest.

In the small kitchen of Shen Hanlin's house, all the top-quality ingredients were transported from the imperial dining room that day. The quantity is quite large, and the portion is not too much. It is just enough for two people. Zhang Xiaobai made it more carefully, and Qin Ze did not rush Stepping forward to help, he stood at the door of the kitchen and suddenly realized that he had missed a lot of things before.

It is said that men are most moving when they are serious. Qin Ze thought that the scope of this "seriousness" was probably handling affairs, solving cases, and giving officials such prestige. Cooking dishes, flipping the pot, swiping the spatula a few times, all with such a serious and focused expression, especially this kind of expression looks...very attractive.

Qin Ze didn't know how long he stood there looking at it. It was so long that his legs were numb, and Zhang Xiaobai only served the first dish. Qin Ze almost fell to the ground when he wanted to serve the first dish. Zhang Xiaobai was taken aback.

In the past few years, Zhang Xiaobai has seldom been able to hone his cooking skills, but as Taibai said, even his immortal soul is soaked in the taste of various delicacies. Five million years of familiarity is not something that can be forgotten after ten years of life Clean, especially this is his long-lost focus work.

It was getting dark and the candlelight in the room was dim, but Qin Ze didn't miss the bright glazed lamps in the palace at all. He took a sip of pigeon soup with milky aroma, and tasted a piece of cherry meat soaked in sauce. The leading dish is so exquisite that even the imperial dining room can't cook it, but Qin felt like an ordinary man who came home from the imperial court. After eating a home-cooked meal that couldn't be warmer, the common people often say that even the emperor would not change it. But the emperor seldom said that he would trade the throne for something, but now Qin Ze was eating dinner, looking at the young man who was fiddling with the candlelight, his eyes fell on the light eyelash shadow on the young man's white cheeks hit by the candlelight, suddenly There is a sense of satisfaction of falling leaves returning to their roots.

This is really not to change for an emperor, let alone an emperor, even for a god.

After a long meal, Zhang Xiaobai stepped forward to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and suddenly said, "Your Highness, it's getting late, you should go back to the palace." Just this sentence made Qin Ze brew for several hours. His soft heart was beaten to pieces.

Qin Ze sighed in disappointment. The scene just now was so beautiful, it was as beautiful as a dream, which caused him to forget that he was not an ordinary man who went home from court, the house was not his, and neither was the boy. In this cold night, only the food eaten in the stomach still has a little warmth.

Zhang Xiaobai didn't have time to comfort Qin Ze's broken heart. He sent His Highness the Crown Prince back to the gate of the palace and then returned to Chuchu Lane. He told Shen Yanwei about today's affairs and gave her the key to the house. , Seeing the smile on his mother's face, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared.

Then again, His Royal Highness is Xingjun's divine sense, and has such vision and ability. Missing a good girl...a good man?Even if they line up, it won't be his turn.
