I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 105 Eat Pickled Cabbage Rolled Tofu

Shiwei is in September, and the sequence belongs to Sanqiu.

The warm sun at noon swayed over the seven-bay archery tower on the side of the Chaoyang Gate in the capital; the sun shone through the crenels on the floor and shone on the face of Xu Kangtai, the deputy commander of the Dongcheng Bingmasi.

The Dongcheng Bingma Division, the West, South, and North Bingma Divisions, and the Central Bingma Division are collectively called the Wucheng Bingma Division, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Its main duties are to arrest thieves, clear the streets, guard prisoners, and deal with fires.

At this time, Xu Kangtai was leaning on the bamboo recliner with a relaxed face, and in front of him was a small charcoal stove with an iron pot on it, and the pale green sauerkraut soup in the pot was gurgling. Bubbly.

As for the sauerkraut in the pot, it looks plump and clean, and it exudes a mouth-watering sour aroma from time to time; it must be pickled from the old altar, not the kind that the picker stepped on.

Xu Kangtai felt that the heat in the pot was over, so he straightened up hastily.Then he stretched out his left hand to the small table on one side, and brought a piece of white and clean tofu; his right hand was not idle, and he also took out a small knife with more than two inches.

The deputy commander leaned in front of the sauerkraut pot, put his left hand over the boiling soup pot, and used it as a chopping board to "cut" the tofu directly; first cut a few times horizontally, then vertically, and then gently tapped the tofu with the back of the knife. After a while, the "white jade block" of the same size fell into the fragrant soup from time to time.

While cutting the tofu in his hand, Xu Kangtai didn't keep his mouth idle, and chatted with his subordinate standing behind him:

"This sauerkraut tofu roll, although it doesn't look good on the table, but in terms of taste, it is much better than the 'mountain and sea delicacies, abalone wing belly';

As long as the taste is correct, not to mention that the emperor will salivate over it; maybe even the Haotian God in the Temple of Heaven wants to get a piece of it. "

"The deputy commander said this, as if he had eaten the 'delicacy of mountains and seas, abalone wing belly'."

A word drifting from the back of his head made Xu Kangtai involuntarily look at his sleeves, the patches on the cuffs were a little fuzzy; he quickly adjusted his sleeves, hid the patches under his elbows, then turned his head and took a look, The meaning of the expression is very clear:

Can your kid speak?If you can't speak, you don't have to!
The little soldier didn't seem to be afraid of his boss at all, instead of keeping silent, he said another thing:

"Deputy Commander Xu, the Ministry of War requires strict investigation of those who enter and leave the capital, and detains all barbarians; now that the deadline set by the superior is approaching, we have not caught a few barbarians in the East City Army Division, how will we report to the Ministry of War?" Are you on a business trip?"

"Stop mentioning this matter, and I will get angry if you mention it!"

With a "dumb" sound, Xu Kangtai directly stuck the knife in his hand on the wooden table, raised his head and leaned back on the reclining chair suddenly, his tone suddenly became a lot more irritable.

"Why do the four deputy commanders of Dongcheng Bingma Division let me stay here every day; I do the most work, but when the time comes, I will suffer because of my disadvantages!

The three of them wandered around all day long, but they were safe and sound? "

This little pawn seemed to have a close friendship with Xu Kangtai, he dared to say anything outside, and even pointed out that he picked up a few bosses:

"Deputy Commander Zhang's family is well-off, and he has already paid for it with money from top to bottom; and Deputy Commander Hu is a distant relative of Hu Shilang in the Ministry of War, so naturally he will not be implicated; as for Deputy Commander Li, although he has no power or power, he usually follows everyone. Colleagues get along very well, only you."

The pawn's voice became softer as he spoke, and finally chose to shut up; although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning he expressed was very clear——

Among the four, you are the only one who has no power and power, and you will not come to trouble. If you don't blame you, who else can you turn to?
Although Xu Kangtai's family is not rich, he is also an upright person. Since he became the second-in-command, he has never done anything to eat or drink cards. Therefore, he is very contemptuous of his colleagues with dirty hands and feet, and basically has no good looks. .

"These officials and lords patted their heads and opened their mouths, and asked me to find the barbarians who sold treasures; there are more than a million people living in the capital, and finding a few barbarians is like finding a needle in a haystack. Just the barbarians at the gate of our city It's normal for the number one hundred and ten to find the right owner."

While complaining, Xu Kangtai did not forget to look at the tofu in the pot. Seeing that it was almost cooked, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. In the stomach, after eating, I still don’t forget to criticize other people:

"According to me, the idiots of Nancheng Bingmasi should be arrested and tortured, and the matter will come to light.

Lao Tzu is well aware of their secret activities, they often use hanging baskets to send people down the city at night, and I don't know how much money they can see.

Maybe those barbarians ran out from Zhengyang Gate! "

"Don't talk about other people, the deputy commander. Hurry up and think of a way. Even if you catch the good and the bad, you have to get the head on."

The pawn leaned forward, put his hands on the back of the reclining chair, his voice was earnest; seeing that Xu Kangtai didn't care, he whispered:
"I have heard that, if you do not do well this time, it is a crime of communicating with foreign countries; such a crime, I am afraid that you will travel three thousand miles away; either you will go to the Bohaier Lake to buy and sell city guards, or you will go to the far west. Suiye, the second town of Shule."

In a blink of an eye, Xu Kangtai had scooped up a spoonful of sauerkraut soup, smacked his lips after tasting it, and said with disdain:

"I'm not even afraid of the ministers and servants of the Ministry of War, how can I be bluffed by you as a guard?

If you are really in the army, then you can make a career with swords and guns in the frontier, isn't it much better than spending time here all day long? "

"Hey, the deputy commander said that very lightly."

The little pawn let out a sigh, quite disapproving in his words, and then introduced with a serious face:
"This exile is not like you patrolling the streets, but walking more than fifty miles a day with a plywood weighing dozens of catties;
It took less than a month for those who were exiled to have splints on their wrists, ankles and wrists, resulting in deep and visible bone wounds, which not only festered and festered, but may also produce maggots.

But this day is about to enter winter, and there will be no worms, but it will be even more difficult for prisoners: the pus on the body surface will be frozen into ice, and the hands and feet will be swollen so that they cannot be curled up; the knuckles will be frozen A purple boil like a gangrene."

"Okay, don't talk about it!" Xu Kangtai grabbed his turban casually and threw it at the people behind him, "If you keep talking like this, I won't be able to eat anymore!"

But he had to pay attention to this issue. After all, there was a lot of conflict in the capital a few days ago because of the Baochao incident:
The nobles among the courtiers believed that the treasures were secretly released by the nobles of the Western Army, and asked them to buy back the treasures; the nobles of the Western Army naturally refused to admit it.

However, the honorable nobles marched in the army after all, and although they were not allowed to hide firearms and armor in their homes, many of their family members were fierce soldiers from the old army; if they really started to fight, Shuntian Mansion and the yamen servants of the Wucheng Bingma Division would join together , are not necessarily enough for others to fight.

So things ended up falling apart.

The noble family can't handle it, but isn't it easy to handle yourself, the seventh-rank deputy commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division?
Thinking of this, Xu Kangtai was so worried that he put down his chopsticks and didn't know what to do for a moment. At the same time, a notification came from outside the building:

"Deputy Commander, Hu Shilang from the Ministry of War is here, and he wants to see you by name!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Kangtai stood up from the reclining chair like a carp; he ordered the soldiers around him to put away the tableware and ingredients, and hurried out to greet him.

The corner of the pawn's mouth twitched, but he still did as he was told, but he muttered in a low voice while doing his hands:
"He also said that even the Minister and the Minister of the Ministry of War are not afraid, are you not afraid that you can run faster than a rabbit?"
