Chapter 616: spring banquet

   Chapter 616 Spring Banquet

   Huang Wanping, an experienced horse-raising officer in Yumafang, and Huang Jin, Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, were invited by Jiang Bao into the Jiang Mansion. Jiang Erye invited them to the stable of Renfu to check Victory's injuries. After settling down Huang Wanping and sending Huang Jin away, Zhou Qiwu arrived.

   When he learned that Wan Sui wanted the governor to trace the origin of Lin Wei Nei's bones, Erye Jiang knew that Wan Sui also thought that these people were not Khitan spies.

   Zhou Qiwu asked, "Long live the decree, let the governor and the other three adults find out this matter within 20 days. Sir, do you think the lower official brought An Zheng's matter to Sir Zhang?"

   Jiang Erye thought for a moment before saying, "Have you mentioned this to your brother?"

   "I mentioned it, my brother said to let the lower official listen to your arrangements." Zhou Qiwu replied.

   Zhou Qiwu's elder brother Zhou Qiwen worked in Jingzhao Mansion and was Zhang Wenjiang's confidant. Since he said so, Jiang Erye said, "If An Zheng doesn't take the initiative to jump out tomorrow, you can go to Jingzhao Mansion to meet Master Zhang and make it clear."

   "Yes." Zhou Qiwu took the order, "Sir, before this, did the lower official lead someone to investigate the whereabouts of An Zheng?"

   Zhou Qiwu was a county magistrate in Jiuquan, so he was very concerned about the refugees. Jiang Erye stopped stopping him, "Yes, but only unannounced visits."

   "Xiaoguan understands." After Zhou Qiwu left.

   Jiang Erye and Uncle Qiu sighed, "Long live, let the governor of the government take 20 days to investigate the case, but let the Lord recuperate in the mansion for 20 days. When the Lord sees the governor next month, the scolding is inevitable."

   Uncle Qiu said with a smile, "Master Fu Yin will not scold you, but will praise you."

"Why?" Jiang Erye turned his head to look at Uncle Xiang Qiu, saw the two scars on his face, and said, "While Guan Shuyu treats my wounds, let him treat the wounds on your face together. ?"

   "Thank you Second Master, but this old man is used to it and doesn't want to get rid of it." Uncle Qiu said, and continued, "Master Zhou Qiwu has been looking for An Zheng, and this old man knows his whereabouts."

   Jiang Erye stood up immediately, "How do you know?"

Uncle Qiu said, "The people killed by Lang Chaokeng are from Waipanshan Village, Jiuquan County, Suzhou, and An Zheng is the right place in the village. Because Jiuquan was hit by drought, the local officials did not distribute food for relief, but instead urged to pay rent and pay labor. , An Zheng was forced to take the whole village to the mountains to escape, and after the whole village's deliberation, he decided to move the village to the vicinity of the capital Kang'an to make a living."

  Because Kang'an is the capital of Zhou Dynasty, at the foot of the emperor. The villagers agreed that the officials here did not dare to do anything wrong, and that they would be able to have food, clothing, and peace when they came here. It was with such a belief that everyone climbed over the mountains and arrived outside Kang'an a few months later. Li Zheng Anzheng changed his clothes and went into the city to explore ways to make a living. When the villagers were resting outside the city waiting for news, they fell into Lang Chao's hands.

Uncle Qiu continued, "After Lang Chao killed them and reported their military exploits, An Zheng hid in the city for a few days, thinking that you could avenge the villagers of Panshan Village, Erye, and then went to Xicheng, and the old man stopped him. ."

   Jiang Erye absentmindedly looked at the bright spring scenery outside the door, and said after a long while, "Uncle Qiu."

   "Second Master, you said."

   Jiang Erye ordered, "Let him go to Jingzhao House tomorrow to find Master Zhang, and say that he thinks Master Zhang can help the villagers to avenge their grievances, and there is no need to mention other things."

  After Uncle Qiu went out to make arrangements, Erye Jiang lay on the table absentmindedly, speechless. Jiang Hou'er stepped forward and persuaded, "Master, you are the commander of Xicheng, not Jiuquan's parents. The affairs of Jiuquan and Youyu Linwei are not under your control."

   Jiang Erye responded, but he still couldn't lift his spirits. Jiang Hou'er thought about it, then backed out and invited Jiang Liu over. Jiang Erye asked his daughter, "Do you know about An Zheng?"

   Jiang Liu shook his head, "Uncle Qiu never mentioned it to his daughter."

  This world is probably several times more chaotic than he can imagine. Jiang Erye sighed and stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take Rokuro, we can see better."

  Jiang Liu followed Daddy and looked up at him, always feeling a little uneasy in his heart, "Daddy..."

   Jiang Erye smiled when he saw the worry on his daughter's pretty little face, "Dad is all right, it's alright."

You don't look good, Jiang Liu rolled his eyes and had an idea, "Daddy, we have wild vegetables growing in our garden. In the morning, my grandmother said that she would dig dumplings filled with wild vegetables for you to eat. After watching it, we won. Why don't you dig wild vegetables with your grandmother?"

   Jiang Erye really raised some interest, "Alright, let's have a spring banquet tonight to celebrate your uncle's entry into the Hanlin Academy. In addition to the dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables, add a few more fashionable dishes."

   "Toon scrambled eggs!" Jiang Liu said immediately.

"Toon, spring bamboo shoots, and spring chives are indispensable. In addition to digging wild vegetables, the elm money in the garden is also plundered for cooking; the most plump mandarin fish in spring must be bought, and the pear flowers in Xuanduguan must be picked and cooked. Pear Blossom Roasted Tofu, tea ears are not easy to find, but it is also a delicacy that cannot be missed. I remember that there is an oil tea garden in Zizhu Nunnery, I am happy to find it…”

   Jiang Er Ye talked endlessly about what to eat in spring, and Jiang Liu drooled. Afterwards, the Jiang family rushed out of the house, looking for the ingredients for the spring feast, and the spring delicacies that were popular in the evening were brought to the table, directly blinding Mrs. Zheng. The prosperous and prosperous Kang'an City , not only in Fangshi, but also at the dinner table of people in Kang'an. This kind of preciousness is not in the price, but in the effort to study the food.

   Looking at her well-fed daughter, Mrs. Zheng felt that it might not be a bad thing to marry her to Kang An.

   Just when everyone in the Jiang family was having a happy spring feast, An Zheng kowtowed to Uncle Qiu three times, turned around and stepped into the night resolutely.

  In the Qin Mansion, Qin Tianye was listening to the advice of his staff.

   Tao Xu said, "Zhang Wenjiang and Jing Jiliang are not enough, Du Hai'an and Li Zengkui are the key figures in this case."

Lai Fangping said, "Du Hai'an is an old loach, he will definitely not come forward, and now the most important thing is to stop Li Zengkui. Mr. Xiang, Li Zengkui is a dog raised by Huang Tong. The most important thing at present is to make Lang Chao shut up and talk to him. Use Huang Tong to suppress Li Zengkui."

  Qin Tianye lowered his eyes and listened for a long time before slowly saying, "Tell Lang Chao to keep his mouth shut, and if necessary, let him commit suicide and apologize. It's over."

   "Yes." The staff responded in unison.

   "Li Zengkui is no longer Huang Tong's eagle dog." Someone's wings are hard, and he wants to throw him off and fly by himself. If it is calm outside, can he soar into the sky when he rushes out? Without himself, he really thought that relying on his ability, then suppressing the border of Kyushu? Qin Tianye sneered and ordered, "Send a letter to Fu Kaiwen. If he doesn't clean Suzhou, I will send someone to clean it up."

Zhang Wenjiang, who was not in the eyes of Qin Tianye and others, was in Jingzhao Mansion at this time. After listening to the conclusion of the examination of the corpse, he learned that among the eighty-nine deceased, there were all old, weak, women and children, and the youngest was only two or three years old. , All because he was buried alive to death, he couldn't help but scolded, "Lang Chao, this beast, if he doesn't cut him with a thousand cuts, it will not be enough to vent the anger of the people!"

   Zhao Minde hurried in, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, someone from outside the house came to beat the drums and said that he knew the origin of everyone killed by Lang Chao."
