Xiao Baoer looked at the table of sour and spicy food, and didn't know where to put the chopsticks at all.
Tian Ji saw that she couldn't get used to eating, so she asked her to find a few ripe Ma Meng to make a bowl of sweet soup.
Mamon is mashed into a puree with water, and then mixed with transparent cold powder and a little crushed ice, the sweet and cool taste is really delicious.
Xiao Bao'er drank two bowls in one go, and muttered: "Use this bowl of sweet soup with grilled lamb chops, it must be delicious." ”
After nightfall, the temperature dropped a lot, and Tian Ji proposed to walk around. Seeing that Xiao Bao'er was a little hesitant, he couldn't believe that he dared to take a walk under the tree, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "I have seen a lot of Gu people since I was a child, and my great courage was also half frightened by the strange death of those people, and I was really out of shape before......"
Xiao Bao'er looked at him pitifully, and couldn't help but hold his hand and ask: "Tell me what the hell is going on with Gu poison, you have been fighting with the Wu clan all these years because of Gu poison?"
Tian Ji nodded, the first thing he talked about was Tian Heng's death.
Before Tian Heng died, no one knew that the Wu people had already infiltrated the royal family.
Fairy Mo is a Gu person, she was very young when she arrived at the Shouxian Palace, and the guards in charge of checking the Gu worms did not find that there was something wrong with her, and they would not have thought that such a small person had already been planted with Gu worms.
This kind of Gu worm is very special, only when the person who has been planted Gu comes to the moon letter, the Gu worm in the body will change from a dormant state to an active state. Before that, no one, including those who had been seeded, could not feel anything unusual.
Xiao Bao'er blurted out: "Fairy Mo won't grow old because of Gu worms?"
Tian Ji nodded, "She has been controlled by the Gu Master, and has been ordered to ambush another Gu worm on the Qi Earth Holy Relic. Even if you don't kill your father, as long as he touches the oxtail, he will be killed by the Gu worm. ”
Xiao Bao'er felt that Tian Heng had died strangely that day, and asked: "Tian Heng doesn't know all this, in order to compete with you for the throne, he privately ran to get the holy oxtail, and died?"
"Sort of, oxtail also fell into the hands of the Wu people because of this. Wen Renyin asked me to bring the holy relics to Dadu, I said that I was sick, and I was going to call me sick when King Chun ascended the throne. ”
"Brother Ji, what do the Wu people want oxtail for? What are you going to do with this? Do you have a way to deal with it?"
"Don't worry, the news of my wedding has been released, and the Wu people will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to come to Qi if they want to try. ”
After hearing Tian Ji's statement, he didn't seem to be very afraid of the Wu people.
Xiao Bao'er couldn't help but ask: "What is the hidden danger of Qidi?"
"People's hearts are more terrible than Gu worms, I have internal and external troubles here, do you want to help share my worries?"
"Tell me about it!"
Tian Ji didn't want to talk about political affairs under the moonlight, but Su Su's words made some sense, and his attitude towards Xiao Bao'er should be straightforward.
"It's rare to have time to go out to dinner with you today, wouldn't it be bad to talk about government affairs?"
"No, if you don't sleep well because you're worried about government affairs, I don't think it's good. ”
Xiao Bao'er's love words are so smooth, Tian Ji was very comfortable after hearing it, and took advantage of the moonlight to mention Qi Di's troubles for many years.
The current predicament of Qi Land is somewhat similar to that of Great Xia, and the land under Tian Ji's jurisdiction has long been divided into several pieces by the family clan.
These families encroached on people's land, hired workers harshly, and paid taxes that remained unchanged for decades. Worried about being punished by the Lord of Qi, they gave the silver to the magnates of Dadu, so that every time Qi Di wanted to change the land, there would be movement on the Dadu side, and Xia Zi would ask the Lord of Qi if he wanted to take the opportunity of change to rebel!
The old Qi lord rested his mind on rectification, and let these families do whatever they wanted, whoever let the Luo family bear the brunt, if they want to rectify, they have to start with the Luo family, starting from Tian Ji......
Hearing this, Xiao Baoer also felt that things were more difficult to do. There are even some people who understand why Tian Ji has an empty stomach and calculates, but he lacks the domineering spirit to be the king, and he has been engaged in the struggle between the royal family and the family for a long time.
If Qidi is not monolithic, what confidence does he have to be the king and hegemon!
She asked: "Are these families just colluding with most of the powerful people?
Tian Ji sighed, "The baby is smart, and the development of the Wu clan today is all the result of my father's connivance......"
The big tribes on the border of Qi and Ukraine actually joined hands with the Wu people to reclaim the wasteland, they provided seeds and farm tools, the Wu people provided manpower, and the grain was only given to the Wu people in 20%. At first, this business was a steady profit, but after a few years, the people of the Wu nationality did not leave, and turned the reclaimed land into their own fertile land, and no longer used the grain.
The big clan also wanted to resist, but there were people in the family who stood on the side of the Wu tribe, and some children and grandchildren were tricked by the Wu tribe......
The endless methods of the Wu people forced the big clan to spit out half of the embezzled land to the Wu people, and the business of making sure to make money without losing money turned out to be a marriage for others.
The old Qi lord knew that he couldn't manage it, so he could only watch the Qi-Wu border being encroached on by the Wu people little by little. God knows how many of the people of the Wu tribe have mixed into the big clan, and how many of the big tribes have long been controlled by the Wu people.
Xiao Bao'er frowned, "Which families are the most prominent, give me the name." ”
Tian Ji looked at her vigilantly, "What are you going to do? This matter can only be dealt with slowly, I don't want to provoke a civil uprising." ”
Xiao Bao'er said magnificently, "There will be no civil uprising, I swear!"
Tian Ji casually said the list, and really wanted to know what good strategies Xiao Baoer could have to solve the problem that had plagued Qi Di for a long time. Thinking about it, what she is most afraid of is that she has used her martial arts to kill all the patriarchs of those families, but this is a symptom but not a cure!
Within a few days, he strengthened his "protection" of Xiao Baoer under the pretext of a big wedding. Xiao Huahua, who is responsible for arranging manpower, is really puzzled, Xiao Baoer's martial arts are so good and still need protection?
This problem cannot be explained, and it cannot be said that the so-called protection is actually surveillance. Once Xiao Bao'er leaves the house, he has to be prepared for the aftermath.
Two months passed in a flash, and the Qi Lord's Mansion was preparing for Tian Ji's wedding in an orderly manner.
During this period, the little emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the time of King Chun's accession to the throne was announced to the world, and the situation in the capital was gradually restored from a pool of muddy water.
No one in the four tyrants kept filial piety for the little emperor, and there would definitely be no one to congratulate King Chun on his accession to the throne. First, Tian Lingyin was assassinated, then Xuan Dexian disappeared, Wen Renyin was ambushed, and Gao Wenyu was killed in battle. The pattern of the Central Plains has changed dramatically, and it is very strange for a while, and no one can guess what will happen next.
Tian Ji went to work as usual, thinking that she should go to Xiao Bao'er after handling her business, and always felt that this person was very quiet, a little different from her previous style.
"Border Emergency...... Border Alert ......"
The little soldier in charge of the herald hurried to his side with an urgent report, and before he got close, he heard a commotion at the gate, which sounded very similar to the voice of the head of the Luo family. Thinking of the Luo family's domineering style, he decided to dry this person first and see what happened at the border.
"Tell the Lord of Qi that the Chen clan located on the border of Qi and Wu was wiped out. ”
Tian Ji's eyelids jumped, "What do you mean to be extinguished?"
Xiao Bing paused for a moment, "I heard from the county Cheng that the Chen family, including the family's dogs and tenant farmers, were all killed overnight, and there were nearly a thousand people up and down. ”
"What!" Tian Ji shouted loudly, more than a thousand people are not a small number, who did this? Before he could breathe down, the head of the Luo family had already rushed into the lobby and cried: "Big nephew, you have to make the decision for me!"
Tian Ji frowned in disgust, this is the Qi Lord's Mansion, a place to discuss politics, not their Luo family hall, this "big nephew" has a few meanings.
"Master of the Luo family, what happened to make you mourn so much?"
"My poor daughter, she was stopped at home by the government soldiers and could not go out...... I'm just a daughter, how good is that!"
As soon as the head of the Luo family finished speaking, an official stood up and announced: Not long ago, the prince of the Wang family in the territory of Chungju was infected with a vicious disease and was diagnosed with a plague. The Wang family kept it a secret, and more than a dozen servants died in less than half a month. In an effort to contain the outbreak, officials blocked the passage near Wang's home, preventing anyone from entering or leaving......
Tian Ji had seen the excerpt of this matter, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. It's not the first time that an outbreak has occurred, and officials have a good set of policies to deal with it, so there's really no need to worry too much.
"The head of the Luo family, I already know about this, you don't need to be nervous, the Wang family is a big family, and there are doctors and medicinal materials in the house......"
The head of the Luo family interrupted Tian Ji and hurriedly said: "Eldest nephew, it would be good if things were like this, but my daughter-in-law sent a message that the epidemic in the house was spreading seriously, and there were less than twenty people alive now...... She stayed at home, never came into contact with sick people, and was sick for no reason. She said that the epidemic was fake, and it was true that someone harmed the Wang family. ”
If this is true, two big clans in a row will be in trouble, and things will not be simple.
Tian Ji couldn't tell who did it, he only knew that the Chen and Wang clans were not fuel-efficient lamps, and he was really happy that something like this happened.
"The head of the Luo family, what do you think I should do? The Wang family is a big family, and their relationship in Chungju is intertwined, if the epidemic is real, what should I do if the officials open the road and let the epidemic spread in Chungju? Or do you take the risk to go in and find out the truth, and by the way, Ling Yan will be taken away?"
The Luo family is poor in words. Tian Ji's attitude is obvious, the government does what should be done, if he thinks the government is not doing well, he can take the risk of going to the epidemic area to investigate. Thinking of his daughter in the Wang family, he gritted his teeth and said, "Please also ask the prince to give me a warrant, and I will go to find out the news." ”
Tian Ji smiled slightly, very satisfied with the fact that the head of the Luo family changed his name to call him the prince, this is the correct attitude to have a good conversation! As soon as the Luo family left, he sent someone to tell Xiao Bao'er that he would go over for dinner at noon.
Cold salad ghost chicken, cold salad folded ear root, shepherd's cabbage and tofu soup, plus a vegetarian stir-fried seasonal vegetables, this is Xiao Baoer's lunch.
Tian Ji saw her sick appearance, and asked distressedly: "If you can't eat dishes that are not used to eating all kinds of dishes, let the chef change, don't be wronged." ”
Xiao Bao'er said: "If you eat too much mutton, you will get on the fire," and then pointed to the cold salad on the table, the curvature and tofu soup, and the vegetarian fried vegetables, and said: "These can clear the fire, and the ghost chicken is used to enhance the flavor." ”
Tian Ji didn't expect Xiao Baoer to eat ghost chicken, this dish is a serious Wu cuisine.
Oni chicken, which means a dish used to worship ghosts and gods, is very simple to make and is perfect for eating in the summer.
Cook the chicken, shred the chicken and season with millet spicy, water celery, marinated marmon and lime. The whole dish tastes sour and refreshing, and the aroma of chicken and the freshness of fruit are perfectly blended, which is very delicious.
The temperature in the room is not high, and Xiao Baoer is also very lightly dressed, looking at her appearance, she may not be used to this kind of steaming heat.
Tian Ji soothed and said, "Ask them to add a few more pots of ice tomorrow, and your expenses here will come from me in the future." ”
There is no snow, no freezing, not even winter, and the worthless ice cubes in the old land are just a pot of silver and a pot of ice when they arrive.
"Forget it, don't be so extravagant, I'm not used to it when I first came, just live a few days. ”
Tian Ji was unwilling, "I didn't marry you to make you suffer, it's just a few pots of ice, and you can afford it." ”
"Up and down, I use one more pot, and there are people below who dare to use one more pot, forget it. ”
Xiao Baoer's "sensible" made Tian Ji very uncomfortable, and her rudeness, willfulness, and vexatiousness seemed to be all given to Xuan Ze.
"There were two big incidents today. The Chen clan located on the border of Wuqi, more than 1,000 people were slaughtered overnight......"
Xiao Bao'er blinked and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh my God! How could this happen, it's so terrifying, who did it? Otherwise, I'll follow you for the past few days, what should I do if something happens to you!"
Tian Ji knew that the matter was related to her, and although she spoke in a surprised tone, her facial expression was very calm. This is the county lord's territory, and she is pretending to be so that people with ulterior motives in the mansion can rest assured.
"Don't worry about me, you just have to stay in the house. ”
After speaking, he patted Xiao Bao'er's hand, and the subtext should be to thank Xiao Bao'er for helping to solve the two hidden dangers in Qidi.
Su Su sent Tian Ji out, and seeing that there was no one around, he couldn't help asking, "What does the master want to know?"
"Who did that?"
"The princess paid someone to do it. ”
"Why so?"
"The princess doesn't want the master to be embarrassed, as long as there is no bitter master in any case, the master will naturally be very convenient to deal with. ”
When Tian Ji first heard the news, he pondered how to deal with the aftermath, and then realized that the Chen clan was exterminated, and there was no need to deal with the aftermath at all, just send someone to take over their property.
He said: "The prince's son is an official in Dadu, and several daughters have also married in Dadu, so I'm afraid it's not good to do this." ”
"On the birthday of the old lady of the Wang family, half of the children are back, and the rest of the masters don't have to be careful. The Wang family will not have a bitter master. ”
Hearing this, Tian Ji was very surprised, Xiao Bao'er was able to hire people in most of the capitals? What kind of organization is so hand-eyed? Thinking of the steamed bun shop mentioned earlier, he asked, "It was also paid to hire people to do it?"
Susu nodded.
The whole thing, from planning, arrangement to handling, was all her idea. Xiao Baoer just handed her an old purse and told her that with the purse, she could let the bun shop do things without going through Erer.
"Got it. Tian Ji left after speaking, Su Su handled this kind of major event for the first time, for fear of doing a bad job, and couldn't help asking: "Master thinks this thing is not good?"
Tian Ji glanced at Su Su, saw the expectation in her eyes, and guessed that the whole thing was her idea after a little pondering.
"Miss Susu, you are from the Central Plains. ”
"The master wants to say that this matter is too killing, and it is against the peace of heaven?"
Tian Ji nodded.
If this matter is Xiao Baoer's idea, he can accept it. The customs of Northern Liao are like this, and human life is regarded as a mustard. If it was Su Su's idea, he felt that he could come up with other ways, although the Chen family and the Wang family hated it, they were also his people.
