Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 323 Bad, Toxic

Tianjin Wei commanded the Yamen treasury.

A figure sneaked into the warehouse sneakily.

This man was about forty years old, named Xu Laokan, and he was the leader of the fire army commanding the envoy's office.He had another name four years ago - Wu Laokan!It was the concierge of Wu Shujian, the former governor of Zhili!
In the 42nd year of Jiajing, He Liu investigated Wu Shujian and his son in Beizhili.Wu Shujian, Wu Qing, and Ji Chunhui were beheaded.At that time, He Liu promised Wu Qing to protect his wife Ji Lan and young son.

Ji Lan's husband, father-in-law, and father all lost their heads, and she and her child were helpless, so they could only commit themselves to Wu Laokan, the former concierge of the governor's yamen.Wu Laokan can be said to be a toad who ate swan meat, picked up a wife who was born as a lady, and picked up a ready-made son for nothing.

When the new governor took office, Wu Laokan lost his job as a concierge.He is a man who takes care of his family, how can he succeed if he has no income?Ever since, he changed back to his original surname "Xu", and by chance, he went to Tianjin Wei and joined the army.Serving three meals a day for the Commander in the kitchen.

Yesterday, Commander Sun Chunbin personally told Xu Laokan: "The Sixth Lord of Jinyiwei is coming to Tianjin Wei. You prepare some high-quality ingredients and entertain him tomorrow."

When Xu Laokan returned home, he told his wife Ji Lan about it.

Ji Lan's husband, father-in-law, and father all died at the hands of He Liu.She and He Liu have a deep hatred!Hearing that He Liu came to Tianjin Wei, his current husband Xu Laokan got another chance to serve He Liu's food and drink.Ji Lan threatened Xu Laokan: "If you don't poison He Liu to death for me, I'll jump the moat with my newly conceived child!"

Xu Laokan had no choice but to accept his wife Ji Lan.

But he is an honest firehead army, where can he find the poison to kill people?While worrying, he suddenly remembered, wasn't there a lot of poisons that were smuggled from Xiyi to Tianjin in the warehouse?The poison of the Xiyi people must be extremely poisonous, and if you eat it, you can go to the west.

So, Xu Laokan took the risk, sneaked into the warehouse, stole a lot of "red poisonous weed", and then went back to the kitchen.The soup was boiled with red poisonous weed, and the "poison soup" was added to the dishes.

In the dining room of the yamen, all the food and wine are served.

Sun Chunbin raised his glass: "This first glass of wine is for the sixth master! The sixth master has investigated and solved countless major cases in the past few years, and made countless great contributions to the court. He can be called the pillar of the country! Finally, I wish you every step of the way!"

Sun Chunbin's flattery hit the horse's hoof.Jin Yiwei's power was taken away by Zhu Xixiao, who rushed out halfway. He Liu said it didn't matter, but he really didn't feel it in his heart.At this time, Sun Chunbin wished him every step of the way. Can he give Sun Chunbin a good face?
He Liu didn't take Sun Chunbin's fault at all, just picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat. Finish it quickly, burn those poisons in the afternoon, and punish that Xiyi woman!"

He Liu took a bite of the dish and felt extremely refreshing after eating it.After all, he is Jin Yiwei's North Town Fushi, and his family has dozens of businesses in the south of the Yangtze River, so it can be called a rich family.In the capital, what delicacy has he never tasted?

But the dishes prepared by Sun Chunbin today made He Liu very comfortable.The same is true for Lao Hu and Li Gao.

Ji Gao shouted: "I said Commander Sun, let the cook serve us rice! Although this dish is good, it is very heavy. It's strange, it's not salty, it's not sour, it's an indescribable strange taste. "

He Liu echoed, "Yes. Commander Sun, let the cook serve the rice!"

On weekdays, He Liu could only eat one and a half bowls of rice, but today he ate three bowls of rice in one go.

Lao Hu, who is usually addicted to alcohol, seems not interested in alcohol today, and only keeps eating vegetables and rice.

Sun Chunbin was also a little strange: today's dish tastes different from the ones served in the kitchen on weekdays!

Li Gao came from a poor background, and there were no rules when eating. He said, "Delicious! Commander Sun, you are so lucky to have such a cook who can cook!"

Sun Chunbin hastily said: "If Master Shizi likes it, I will let this cook go back to Beijing with you, and serve you and Uncle Wu Qing exclusively in the future!"

It took half an hour for this meal.After eating, the four of them burped in unison.

He Liu picked his teeth, and said: "I have eaten good things. At Yan Shifan's place, I ate partridge rice worth hundreds of taels a bowl. I also ate meaty cucumber sticks worth hundreds of taels a bowl. Not as good as today's meal."

Lao Hu also said: "It's really strange. I think there is an indescribable taste in this dish. Cooks pay attention to the four tastes of sour, sweet, bitter and salty. This taste is neither sour, nor sweet, nor bitter, nor salty."

Sun Chunbin said: "It's the blessing of the last general to serve the three superiors well. But to be honest, the dishes on the table today are indeed different from those in the past."

He Liudao: "Let the cook come in, and I will reward him ten taels of silver."

Sun Chunbin nodded, and sent his own soldiers to call Xu Laokan.

Xu Laokan is an honest man, and he has a guilty conscience after doing something wrong.He knelt down in front of He Liu and the others, his calf twisted.

He Liudao: "Your cooking is good. I want to reward you. Huh? Why do you keep your head down and up!"

Xu Laokan raised his head and glanced at He Liu.Soon he lowered his head again.

Lao Hu frowned: "It's weird. Why does this cook look so familiar to me?"

Lao Hu has a photographic memory.He suddenly slapped his head: "I remembered! In the 42nd year of Jiajing, I met you when Lao Liu and I inspected the residence of Wu Shujian, governor of Beizhili! You are the concierge of the governor's yamen of Beizhili!"

Xu Laokan was already guilty of a guilty conscience, and when he heard this, he came up with a 36-meter run, jumped up from the ground with a "bass", raised his legs and ran towards the door of the dining room.

Lao Hu is a master of throwing knives with extraordinary strength.He picked up a teacup, "cracked", and fell directly on Xu Laokan's lap.

"Ah!" Xu Laokan fell to the ground in response.

Li Gao shouted from the side: "Master, good work!"

Sun Chunbin shouted: "Where are the soldiers, bring Xu Laokan here!"

Two soldiers escorted Xu Laokan to the dinner table.

He Liu rubbed his nose: "What's the smell? Why is it so stinky?"

The soldier pointed to Xu Laokan's crotch: "On duty, this guy is scared out of shit!"

He Liu asked Xu Laokan: "Why are you running away? Could it be that you have done something wrong? Hurry up and recruit them, so as not to suffer!"

Xu Laokan is an honest man, but as timid as a mouse.He Liuyi bluffed, and he knocked like garlic, and said all the tricks: "My lord, please forgive me. My wife ordered me to poison you lords! Ah, my wife's name is Ji Lan, and she is the daughter of Ji Chunhui's family, the former prefect of Baoding. "

He Liu was surprised: "Isn't Ji Lan Wu Qing's wife? How did she marry you?"

Xu Laokan confessed: "After Wu Qing was beheaded, she was very pitiful as an orphan and widow. I was soft-hearted, so I took her mother and daughter in, and she became my wife."

He Liuxin said: This is really a narrow road for Yuanjia.

Lao Hu hurriedly asked Xu Laokan: "You said you poisoned us? Did you put the poison on this table of food? Tell me, what poison did you poison? Where is the antidote?"

Xu Laokan replied tremblingly: "No, there is no antidote. I boiled the red poisonous weeds from Western Yi in the warehouse into juice, and then poured it into the meals."
