Chapter 179: Famous Wine
Spurred on by this contingency, the efficiency of the cardinal became faster than ever, and the appointment of Kim Ming was sent to the battalion a little later. This is just a mission, not a promotion, so he calmly accepted everyone's congratulations.
The case has been taken over by the Dali Temple, and they will join the Lin'an Mansion to investigate, and all the corpses, exhibits, and prisoners, including the fourth child, have been transferred and locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, which is commonly known as the "Six Gates".
"I wonder if there are four famous catches?"
When Liu Yu saw this, he suddenly remembered the martial arts novels he read when he was in school, which seemed to be set in the Song Dynasty, but when it was later made into a movie and TV series, Yishui's Ming Dynasty brocade clothes and guards were full of a huge sense of disobedience.
"Famous catch? Lang Jun said that he was the head of the torture and arrest on the front street, he was in charge of our shop, and he didn't know the name, but he could catch some small thieves from time to time. โ
The old housekeeper in the front yard listened to his own Lang Jun talking to himself, and quickly interjected, Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand to send him out, that is the martial arts world in people's imagination, maybe it is stored in a certain time and space, anyway, he has never seen it for so long.
Liu Yu is in a very good mood today, the news from Jiangzhou came early in the morning, and as soon as things went smoothly, people had been rescued and were on their way back to Jiankang. After relaxing, he went back to the room and slept with his little wife in his arms.
Lang Jun's mood is good, the whole house is honored, the lady of the main family is smiling, and the people have also benefited, two meals are added, and they eat one by one with a smile, it would be nice if there were such days every day.
However, it was not only this incident that made him happy, the communication with Quanzhou was finally connected, although it was a day later than he requested, and he did not really add guilt at this time. Because he knew very well how his men tried to find the most suitable distance from room to mile.
As expected, there is no change in Quanzhou City, and the Pu family must be waiting for news from the Jingshi side, to fight against such a huge country in the hinterland of the Song people, anyone will think about it, and it is normal to have some luck.
The promise of the Yuan people seems to be only a flash in the pan at present, and the threat of the Song people is real, although it can run away from the sea, but that means to give up the city of Quanzhou, which has been in operation for decades, and nothing can be taken away except floating wealth, this determination is not easy to make.
"Sue sรน Quanzhou, be careful, and then transfer my words to Qiongzhou as they are, and don't change a word."
A sentence has been passed many times, and it will change if you are not careful, and it may even become a completely opposite meaning, so Liu Yu had to emphasize that from here to Qiongzhou, he didn't know how many times he had to turn it, and the sentence he wanted them to pass on was the code word agreed with Jiang Cai before.
Jin Ming received a formal edict and had the right to control the soldiers of the three routes, and Jiang Cai's department happened to be among them, so his plan can be implemented now, and Yang Xingqian has been gone for a while, no matter whether he arrives now or not, Jiang Cai will set off as planned.
How to fight over there, Yiqiqi has carefully discussed with Jiang Cai, he will not interfere, because the negotiations with the Yuan people will start soon, and he has no time to run around now, but fortunately, with long-distance communication, he can grasp the battle situation in time while sitting at home.
After dealing with the outside affairs, it is time for dinner, there are only two masters in the house, there is no need to put on any pomp, usually it is directly brought to the room. When Liu Yu went back, the people were already busy, and plates of dishes were brought out of the kitchen and sent into the room like an assembly line.
These are all arranged by Jing Niang, a table full of them, and the two of them can't eat it anyway, but the wife has the truth of a wife, he is now an official, and his every move is very involved, and some things are done for others to see, including the people in the house.
"Husband, try this, the fresh fish just caught in the lake was made by a famous chef in the city, but it is still delicious?"
A small porcelain plate, containing snow-white ~ pink and thin fish as cicada wings, Liu Yu took out a piece, dipped it in some sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth. The ingredients are well matched, just covering the residual fishy smell, leaving only a mouth full of fresh fragrance and tenderness, he can't help but nodded, this time the taste is better than what he tasted before, and the little wife really worked hard.
"Wine can decompose filth, Lang Jun takes a sip and presses it."
Tingchao poured a cup of Shaoxing Huang and sent it to his mouth, this is the standard for eating fish tart, the liquid in the cup is orange and bright, and a fragrant and fragrant wine, Liu Yu took a sip of her hand, looked at the beauty beside her, and suddenly remembered an allusion.
"This wine also has an alias in Shaoxing Mansion, you see this small jar, is it engraved with auspicious paintings? The local people call this wine 'flower carving', legend has it that whenever Shaoxing people give birth to children, they will bury several altars in their own yard this kind of 'flower carving', and wait until the children grow up, if the son is successful in his studies, he can take a fame, then he will dig out the wine to feast guests, wrap it with this kind of big red paper, take a color head, also known as 'champion red'. โ
"What if a woman is born?"
Hearing that Chao said that he was interesting, he asked in a sentence, Jing Niang also blinked, and looked very interested, Liu Yu glanced at the two girls, reached out and grabbed a chopstick, and slowly chewed it in his mouth for a while, and then swallowed it with taste.
"If a woman is born, on the day she leaves the cabinet, she also digs it out and takes a red paper bag, then it is called 'daughter red'."
After listening to this, the two girls invariably thought of the scene on the day Jing Niang got married, and unconsciously Xia Fei's cheeks were indescribably charming and moving, but let Liu Yu taste the delicacies, but also had a full meal.
When Liu Yu's words were transmitted to Qiongzhou intact, I don't know how many times it had been forwarded, Jiang Cai glanced at the note with only one line written, and put it away quietly, his eyes were still fixed on the camp, where his 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers were stepping up their drills.
In the first battle of Qiongzhou, the losses caused by the thieves were mainly concentrated in the period of siege of the city, and the more than 2,000 people who defended the city had just been recruited for a short time, and they were inexperienced.
Fortunately, those who survived have experienced the war, and they are no longer the same, and the current training situation makes him quite satisfied, everyone knows that if they don't sweat in peacetime, they will bleed more in wartime, and there is less of his shouting and scolding in the camp, so that those old soldiers are suddenly a little unaccustomed.
"You go to the city and invite Senator Chen over."
In addition to Chen Yunping, the two leaders of the navy, both inspecting Yang Fei and Hai Si, have already arrived at his big tent, and when Chen Yunping is together, they will discuss the matter of sending troops behind closed doors.
Yang Fei already knew Liu Yu's plan before, Jiang Cai was so solemn, of course he understood that the time had come, to be honest, he had not yet enjoyed the first battle in Qiongzhou, although the results of the navy were also very rich, but most of them were laid down by Haisi, this time, there was finally a new move.
Since Chen Yunping came to this island, he was arrested by Liu Yu, and all the civil affairs were pressed on his shoulders, Jiang Cai was also happy to let go, so busy that he didn't even have time to write a poem now. But he was willing, because it was changing every day, and it was an indescribable sense of accomplishment that made him extremely satisfied.
Coming to the camp outside the city, Chen Yunping followed his soldiers into the big tent, Jiang Cai's several generals, Yang Fei and several Hai Si's generals gathered around a table in the middle to discuss something, and Jiang Cai himself greeted him in person as soon as he saw him.
"But it's time to do it?"
As soon as he saw this formation, Chen Yunping immediately realized that the thing they had planned before had come to action.
"Exactly, the squire has received news from Beijing that the Privy Mansion will set up a Governor's Mansion in Guangzhou, and he has already obtained the warrant from the Governor's Office, so we don't need to wait, we will be promoted immediately."
From Jiang Cai's words, Chen Yunping could tell that this newly formed governor's mansion had a very close relationship with that Liu Shi, and he could get instructions at will. And he was instructed before he came, he wanted to listen to Liu Yu's arrangement, and since this was the case, he didn't have much to say.
"What do you mean by appeasement?"
"I and them, I am about to leave Qiongzhou, a qiฤ here, can only be entrusted to the senator, Yiren affairs, there is a woman in the yazhong can help, now these construction sites, I hope the senator will bother more."
Jiang Cai pointed to the generals in the middle and said, this time he set off, not only to take away the soldiers and horses in the camp, but also those warships of Yang Fei and Haisi, so that Qiongzhou will be empty, and there is nothing else, those projects cannot be stopped for a moment, especially in the area of Lingao City.
Before Liu Yu left, he brought them a large number of supplies, which were stacked in the warehouse in Qiongshan County, Chen Yunping was a little worried, without the storage of officers and soldiers, if it caused the peeps of thieves, what would he do to resist? You have to know that you are guilty of sin.
"There can only be a thousand people left in the city, there is a microphone to connect, something happens directly to the past, as long as it lasts for one or two days, a certain will definitely come to the rescue."
Jiang Cai's words made him feel a little relieved, he also knew that there were not many soldiers and horses in the camp, a thousand people were a thousand, as long as it was used properly, it was still possible to hold on for a day or two, after all, there would not be such a large number of pirates landing all the time.
"If there are only a thousand people, I'm afraid those captives will make a move, they are too numerous, even if they add the Yi people, they will not have an advantage, once there is a change, it will be difficult for the city to hold on."
Chen Yunping is talking about the people he sent, different from thieves, they are all sergeants, don't look at the current obedience, but who knows what they will think in their hearts?
"Then take most of them, not only them, but also all the pirates they caught, can the Senate rest assured?"
Jiang Cai immediately decided, when no one wanted to fight in the front, when he heard the news of the fire in the backyard, he incorporated most of the people into the army and used them as auxiliaries first, these people may not be able to join the enemy in front of the battle, because there are not Tartars over there.
"When are you going to make a move?"
With such an arrangement, Chen Yunping was naturally relieved, and now he only hoped that Jiang Cai would go here and return as soon as possible.
"Let's go, the sooner the better."
From here on the ship, in order not to startle the snake, to the territory of Guangdong and then ashore, land and water go hand in hand, straight to the enemy's nest, take advantage of the enemy did not react, hit them by surprise, of course, the target is not Quanzhou City, but the thousands of sea ships that Pu has been operating for decades!
The topographic map over there has been transmitted, and he still has enough time to study and formulate the most suitable plan, this time, Liu Yu will not come, he has to rely on himself, there is only one such opportunity, once he is detected by the enemy and drives the ship out of the port, he will never be able to chase back.
