On the wooden pillars of the large corridor, there are two boys who are drinking and talking, the two of them are the ones who take turns on duty, the night is long, lonely and unbearable, how can you survive without eating and drinking?

What they ate was a pot of fragrant dog meat, the charcoal red light of the small stove shone on their faces, they drank the good wine that had been treasured for ten years, the fragrant wine not only intoxicated their minds, but also seduced the fat mouth of the man in black to swallow, if you think about it carefully, in fact, the best thing in the world is a pot of meat and a pot of wine.

The man in black smiled in his heart, swallowed two mouthfuls of gluttony, and two big bags cut down his throat, all of which looked at Ma Wenbing, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er's hearts.

I didn't expect this old man to be so unbearable, since he was able to enter this strict palace compound, could he still not eat anything delicious? Why are you so greedy for dog meat? It seems that this old man is an authentic foodie.

Tianxiang whispered, "Don't be like this, old man, wait for me to find something, I will let the best cook cook dog meat for you, see no, this one is the best chef in our Dahua Kingdom, there is no reputation now, but the world will definitely know it in the future." ”

Tianxiang pushed Ma Wenbing to the front, and this Ma Wenbing was the best cook in her heart.

The man in black left a pair of sharp eagle eyes, and saw Ma Wenbing smile, as if he agreed with Tianxiang's words, but said again, "I believe that this kid will have a future in the future, this is really a gimmick deal, but if we don't solve those two kids, we won't be able to enter that courtyard, you just look at me." ”

As soon as the man in black spoke, he performed superb light skills, and a black shadow quickly flashed behind the two boys.

"Smack!"

After two muffled sounds, the two boys didn't know what was going on, and they were knocked to the ground by the man in black, but fortunately the man in black didn't mean to kill them, but just knocked them out.

As soon as the man in black picked up the chopsticks in the hands of one of them, he began to hold the dog meat in the stone pot and send it to his mouth, because the dog meat was too hot, the upper and lower lips of the man in black kept writhing like two pink worms, but the appearance was very funny.

The man in black picked up the bottle with his other hand and shook it, and there was the sound of rushing water, but fortunately there were some, so he poured it into his mouth and drank it.

When the man in black stunned the two boys, Ma Wenbing, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er hurried over, one was happy that the man in black had a high skill, and he would definitely be able to do it with his help, and the other was that he was afraid that the man in black would be drunk, how could he drink so much?

Fortunately, there was not much wine left in the wine jar, and the man in black quickly finished grumbling, and had no choice but to give up, stuffed two more pieces of dog's head into his mouth, and then cautiously walked towards the large courtyard behind.

This large courtyard was also quiet, and the kerosene platform made of six or seven pieces of wood in the courtyard was burning, and with the moonlight and starlight in the sky, it was clear even at night.

There are three big houses in the big yard at the back, but there are several small houses in the middle of the big house, all of which are connected by a corridor aisle, and the three people walk in the corridor in turn, and they don't go in after the first big house, and the black inside is a smell of ingredients, which should be a place to cook.

Bypassing this room, several people looked for a few rooms in the middle, but it was either a storage room or a pickling room, although the man in black remembered that it was a very small room, but he didn't remember exactly what room it was, it was a long time ago.

Then the four of them went to the big room in the middle, first observed for a while, then pushed the door and went in turn, and the open house had a front room, and dozens of candles shone brightly, generally as dark as light.

The four of them entered the back hall from the curtain on one side, the back room is the same size as the front room, the back room is separated by dozens of small single rooms, each single room has a closet, it seems that it is also a place to cook vegetables, it seems that it is not this place, Ma Wenbing and the three of them couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"I didn't expect that there were so many stoves in the imperial dining room, there were already many stoves in the room just now, does this palace really need so many stoves?" Ma Wenbing asked softly, he was working in the hotel back then, and one person could be in charge of three woks, but there were only six stoves, and three or four cooks were enough.

The man in black said, "You don't know this, not every stove is used at the same time, he may use this stove today, he may use that stove tomorrow, you don't understand this, I have been to this place together, and I have been helping for a full month, so I know very clearly." ”

Ma Wenbing really didn't understand, and asked suspiciously, "Why is this? Isn't it a waste to do this?"

The man in black chuckled and said, "Why else, to prevent someone from poisoning the emperor, the higher the power, the more afraid people are of death, you still don't understand this truth, stupid!"

"You're stupid. Liu Linger stuck out her tongue and deliberately laughed at Ma Wenbing, but in her heart she blamed the man in black, saying that Ma Wenbing was very stupid, although Ma Wenbing was indeed very stupid, she could only say it alone, how could this strange person be qualified to say it? But she didn't dare to offend the man in black, so she could only laugh at Ma Wenbing.

Tianxiang said, "Since it's not this place, let's go out and hurry up to find another place." ”

Tianxiang's words were settled, and when the four of them were about to return the same way, there were soft footsteps outside, and it was obvious that someone was coming.

The four of them were stunned, and there was no other way to hide for a while at this time, so the four of them looked around and saw that there was a long yellow cloth from the roof to the ground, which was a good place to hide.

Liu Ling'er was the first to enter the yellow cloth, followed by Tianxiang, Ma Wenbing and the man in black, and then the four of them listened to the footsteps outside, approaching little by little.

The footsteps outside proved to be of two people, one was a heavy voice, it should be a heavy and fat person, and the other was very soft, it should be a thin and light person, and the two people talked softly as they walked.

First of all, the thin man said, "Everything is almost ready, and I can succeed in one fell swoop when the time comes, but I still have some worries." ”

Then the fat man said, "What are you worried about? What else do you have to worry about? I'm not afraid, are you still afraid? As long as we succeed in one fell swoop, we can enjoy prosperity, wouldn't it be beautiful, and the province will be called by people who are called to be slaves." ”

Hearing the fat man's words, Ma Wenbing, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er were stunned, this voice was so familiar, it seemed that they had heard it somewhere, where was it?

Then the thin man replied, "I'm the Tartar of the Western Regions who is sinister and cunning, and when things succeed, they forget about us, and if things fail, they will put us in the front and make scapegoats, and we can't help but think about it." ”

Then the fat man smiled sinisterly, and replied, "What you say makes sense, but even if we are scapegoats, it won't be our turn, right? Isn't there still a stiffer body in front of us? What are you afraid of? Why are you getting more and more timid?"

Hearing these two people speak, Ma Wenbing and the three of them were stunned again, what were these two people conspiring with the Western Regions Tartars? Listening to the voices to distinguish loyalty and treachery, these two people were certainly not good people, and what kind of people could the Western Regions Tartars they were talking about? Could they be the ones who came to participate in the food contest and entered the finals? Ma Wenbing and the three of them were not very sure in their hearts.

Then the thin man said, "Although there is a master in the way, but this is a big thing that shocks the world, and if it fails, it will definitely lose its head, even if the head manager is hard, he can't stand up the mountain that is about to collapse, right?" ”

The fat man said again, "You kid is really clever, it seems that you have figured out a way? Then what ideas do you have, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, don't talk nonsense." ”

The thin man said, "Don't worry, my lord, I have come up with a good idea, which is this bag of things." ”

The thin man took out a small packet of white powder from his arms and smiled weirdly, of course, the three of them didn't see all this, but from the sound of their voices, it could be judged that the thin man must be holding something in his hand, and he wanted to know exactly what they were going to do, or calm down to see what they were talking about.

The fat man asked suspiciously, "What is this? Is it sugar or flour, what's the use of fart?"

The thin man smiled and said, "Hahaha, don't underestimate this pack of white powder, this is the seven-day cartilage powder that I finally obtained, and I am weak after taking it, but I will not die, but if I don't take the antidote after seven days, I will definitely bleed to death." ”

The poisonous bad guy used such poison to harm people, and he really wanted to beat the two of them up, but the anger in Ma Wenbing's heart was held down by the man in black with his big hand, and he said softly, "This is not the time to be rash, and listen to what they want to do." ”

Tianxiang also took Ma Wenbing's hand and said softly, "The old-timers are right, let's listen to who they want to harm, and we can end it in one pot." ”

Then the fat man smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's a clever plan, it's not a loss to your kid, what are you going to do?" ”

Then the thin man said, "This method is also easy to solve, after my seven-day pack of cartilage is scattered into the water, it is colorless and tasteless, and it is impossible to detect it at all, even the silver needle cannot be detected, we just need to pour this bag of powder into their water or in the dish, even if the output is the matter of those contestants, how to plan later, we can see the situation to decide." ”

The fat man said again, "Okay, this method is really good, you must pay attention to Ann when you do it, when are you going to do it?"

The thin man said, "Don't worry, this adult, I will definitely do things without leakage, I plan to start in these two days, I guess the finals are these two days, and the time to start at this time is just right." ”

The fat man said, "The emperor's imperial meals are all managed by the adults in charge, people don't care about the dishes, the dishes don't care about the people, what can you do?"

Hearing that the two of them were the emperor, Ma Wenbing and the others never expected that they would even be very bold personally, right? Colluding with outsiders and poisoning the emperor, if the two of them succeed in their conspiracy, it would be a big thing that would reverse yin and yang, and the whole country would be in chaos.

Must not let them carry out the conspiracy Tianxiang said softly At this time, they should rush out together, tie up those two people, and torture them severely.

The four of them all looked at each other, they all knew each other's thoughts, and the man in black smiled and said, "This matter will be handed over to my old man, you three don't move here, don't go anywhere." ”

So the man in black went out, Ma Wenbing, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er thought to themselves, why is this man in black so kind? Who could he be so kind to help them, since he is kind, he doesn't want to reveal his identity or leave him alone, it is important to do their business.

"Smack. ”

There were two loud bangs, and the fat and thin ones were quickly subdued by the man in black, and everyone found a rope, tied the two of them back to back, and tore the cloth and stuffed it into their mouths in order not to make them scream.

Ma Wenbing said, "This is not the place to talk, how about we hide these two people in our room and torture them slowly?"

Tianxiang shook her head and said, "The torture will definitely delay a night, so what about the search for the record? ”

Tianxiang is not wrong, if there is no record book in the imperial dining room, then there is no evidence to frame Tianxiang Niangniang, then everything is empty talk, even if you enter the Jinluan Palace, what can you do?

The man in black smiled and said, "What's the difficulty, I'll leave this matter to my old man, I'm sure I'll find you the record book you want at night, and the three of you will lock these two bad guys in your room, torture them well, and say that they may not be the big criminals who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? ”

Tianxiang said, "We don't care what reward is given, that record book is very important to me, can the old man be sure to help me find it? If you help me find that record book, I will definitely thank you." ”

The man in black said, "What else do you want for my old man, just cook me some good dishes, don't you still believe in my old man's kung fu? ”

Tianxiang thought about it, remembered the original date, and told the man in black that this old-timer's kung fu is still above the lame and the blind, and such a deep palace compound can break in, what else is there to worry about?
