Winter nights in the northern grange always come very early and are also very cold, and before it gets dark, parents are calling out to the naughty children at the door, and the steaming smoke is mixed with the aroma of food. Meng Yue and Wang Li ate the fried buns that are often loved in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the house, surrounded by the red stove, and glanced at the sweet potatoes and lamb chops in the oven from time to time.

Freshly killed lamb chops pick the fat and tender parts, marinate them with only a few flavors, and then use barbed wire to bake them on the side of the stove, which can completely prevent the fat from falling into the fire, which is about the wisdom of the indigenous people about food. Although they probably don't know the complex chemical terms, they naturally know how to enjoy the food without any bothering.

From time to time, Wang Li flipped the sweet potatoes and lamb chops, and when only the snow was white outside the window, the lamb chops were roasted and the sweet potatoes were ripe. Peel off the slightly charred skin of the tomatoes to reveal an attractive golden color, and put them on a plate with the lamb chops, in Meng Yue's words, it can also be regarded as a meat and vegetable pairing, and the staple food and dishes are complete.

Suddenly, I felt that this could be done for a lifetime, and I didn't have to ask how the world outside the Grange was, and I didn't have to care about how things were in the world. ”

"But...... If there is no peaceful world, how can there be a place to live in peace? "People are really strange sometimes, they obviously love simple and down-to-earth things in their bones, but in their chests is a heart that has nowhere to put it, always restless, making people unconsciously pursue higher, better and better.

"Senior brother, I am very fortunate that we all live in such a good era, and what we think about every day can be completely limited to what to eat for three meals a day. "In fact, in retrospect, I am quite happy in modern times, as long as I am willing to work hard, down-to-earth, hardworking and active life, I will not have a bad life. It's just that people's hearts are more restless, and there is a more urgent desire to live more fully and enjoy the best of everything.

Perhaps it can be summed up simply as the pursuit of freedom, which refers to the material as well as to the spiritual.

Wang Li silently dismantled the bones of the lamb chops for Meng Yue, Meng Yue only needed to pick them up and eat them, as for Meng Yue's words, she didn't need him to say anything, she just needed to listen quietly. Occasionally, Meng Yue would easily think about things that made her feel terrible, and other times she would think about things that might not have an answer at all, or maybe she didn't need an answer.

When Meng Yue came back to her senses from her thoughts, she had already eaten two large pieces of lamb chops and a half-baked sweet potato: "Senior brother, can you not feed so much food when I want to think about it, it's almost bursting my stomach." ”

"Save you from thinking about it, and ...... The night is long, and I don't have the heart to sleep, so eat more lunch, and save up enough strength to fight until dawn. Wang Li smiled at Xiao Tiantian, who was shining under the lamp, and made his own arrangements for the long night.

Mengyo: ......

"Lang Jun, we haven't touched each other's hearts deeply for a long time, so it's better to talk about it for a long night. "When people are in good spirits, don't write and sleep, read as a sports afterthought.

Wang Li: "Why don't you go hand in hand, every year I say, it's not bad for money, why do you have to give up the fish and bear's paws." The winter night is long, you can talk about it, and you can fight it. ”

For some reason, Meng Yue thought silently for a while, the police uncle he saw on the loquat tree back then, tsk, he couldn't bear to look at it directly. Sure enough, every person with a serious appearance has a bohemian soul. The long night was deep, and seeing that the unruly soul had many debauchery thoughts, Meng Yue decided to follow the good flow.

It was late at night, and when the battle was still raging, there was a noise outside, Wang Li got up to look outside, but saw the officers and soldiers stationed in Luyi Zuo, saying that the first assistant Ye Fuan was assassinated, and the officials and soldiers and the three divisions chased the assassin all the way. The Assassin did not know whether they had passed by here or not, but they followed the trail and saw that there was a grange here, and they came to check it out, and if there was nothing to do, they would eat something and rest.

Fortunately, Wang Li is here, otherwise the tenants on the grange would be willing to open their homes, and they would not let people check on their homes in the middle of the night. Most of Wang Li and the officials of the three divisions are old acquaintances, so they specially went out in a big coat and knocked on the door one by one to investigate.

After the investigation, the west courtyard used by the grange to entertain guests has prepared hot soup and hot rice, and it has also warmed the earth, because it is divided into several roads, more than 20 people can live in it. Although Wang Li had the heart to understand a thing or two, he saw that everyone was dozing off while eating, so he didn't think much and went back to the east courtyard.

After this rush, Meng Yue was already asleep, and Wang Li left the robe stained with snowflakes on his body outside, and went to bed after warming up. Xu was a little tired from tossing before, but Meng Yue slept soundly and was not awakened at all.

At breakfast the next day, Meng Yue asked Wang Li what happened, and when he heard that Ye Fuan was assassinated, Meng Yue was so frightened that the last bit of dazed morning sleepiness was gone: "How is it possible!"

Ye Fu'an is very small in "Three Jiao", but he is an important role for the Ming Dynasty, because the constitutionalism was promoted by him and Emperor Xuanqing. After Yang Tingli retired from the cabinet again, Ye Fuan came to power as the first assistant, Meng Yue also felt that the plot had returned to its original position, and even sighed the power of the plot, not wanting that Ye Fuan would be assassinated when the constitutional storm was in full swing at this time.

"Really dead?"

"The Confessional Festival. "Even the name has been set, it will never be fake, if it is a fake death, the funeral will be a big event, but it will not be a name. The minister who has been the first assistant is basically based on Wen X, and the word of the section is also very cut Ye Fu'an's life.

"Then next, who will join the cabinet as the first assistant?"

"Our uncle. ”

Meng Yue: "What nonsense, my uncle didn't enter the court." ”

"I mean Bing's father. ”

Lu Bing's father, Lu Chuhua, that is, Lu Chuying's capable eldest brother, was able to get rid of business and enter the official career, which was still the credit of Lu Chuhua: "Although I have long known that there will be such a day sooner or later, when I came suddenly, I really couldn't react." ”

Speaking of which, Lu Chuhua is less than ten years younger than Master Meng, and if you really talk about it, it is just the right year to enter the cabinet as the first assistant at this time, and if you really wait until you are fifty years old, you will be in good health, and it will be ten years at most. Ten years may not be able to put the constitution on the road and let it move forward on its own.

"Every year, we can prepare, maybe we have to go back to Nanjing in advance. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Ye Fu'an's case may be very tricky, whether it is the official family or our uncle, I am afraid that they will remember me. "It's not that Wang Li is arrogant, it's really Emperor Xuanqing as a die-hard fan of "Murder Order", since he knew that he painted it later, he greatly appreciated his ability to detect the case, the reason is that he can write the case so incisively, in simple terms, and the detective is not a problem.

Moreover, when he was still in the Inspectorate before, Wang Li had handled several major cases, and he also left some impressions on Emperor Xuanqing at that time.

As for the uncle, there is no other reason, and his own people can rest assured.

Meng Yue: "Then do we still need to go back to Jinan?"

"Naturally, I want to go back, and the local affairs need to be handed over slightly, and I will go back to the county tomorrow, and then I will go back to the pan garden to pick up after returning to the county. ”

"Good. ”
