Prime Minister Wang Cheng's clues were beyond everyone's expectations, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that judging from the existing clues, Wang Feng was not an infatuated madman, but a pure madman?

Zhan Zhao wanted to hear Prime Minister Wang Cheng's explanation in detail.

Prime Minister Wang sighed softly, "Wang Feng did meet the mute girl when he was sheltering from the rain, he cared for this woman very much, and everyone thought that they were in love." But to be honest, they are not married! I have never objected, he did not elope, and I naturally did not lock him in his room, looking for death and life, and I don't know who is going out. The princess lived in the palace, and there were many people who asked for relatives at that time, but she had seen a lot of nobles in the palace, but it was the first time for Wang Feng to see such an infatuated talent, so she fell in love at first sight. Later, the emperor wanted to give the news of marriage, but I don't know how the news came out, and the dumb girl followed by herself, and Wang Feng was sad for a while. The princess blamed herself and admired Wang Feng's infatuation, so she let the emperor give her marriage. ”

Zhan Zhao touched his chin after hearing this, "So, the dumb girl is before the marriage and not after?" ”

Prime Minister Wang nodded, "But the rumors are not the case, in order to avoid further incidents, this matter has not been publicized." In short, the marriage was very done, and everything was forgotten, I wanted to ask the dumb girl's family about it, but the building was empty overnight. After the autopsy, the dumb girl was indeed herself, but on the night of the death of my wife's maid and dumb girl, I saw her with Wang Feng. Later, the mute girl ran away crying for some reason, and she went to herself that night. Afterwards, I asked Wang Feng at this time, and I originally thought that there might be a misunderstanding, but guess what he said? ”

Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang were waiting to listen.

Prime Minister Wang sighed, "He said, if he is my biological son, will I let him not marry the princess and marry a commoner woman?" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both blinked, what do you mean?

"And what do you say?" Jiu Niang asked curiously.

"I said, it is to treat you as your own son, so that you can marry your beloved, instead of abandoning your lover and clinging to the powerful." Prime Minister Wang Cheng smiled miserably and shook his head, "He smiled when he heard my words, and said, 'Father-in-law, why are you as innocent as a princess?' What is it about that mute that I should take a fancy to her? ’”

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth slightly, looking surprised and disgusted, whether the woman was loved by him or not, but also died for him, people died and said cool things.

"Then I thought about it, maybe all those years, he had been hiding his true self." Prime Minister Wang sighed, "The main reason why the princess fell in love with him was because of his infatuation and single-mindedness, and then the death of the dumb girl was the key, if all this was calculated by him, then the old man did suspect what the real cause of the mute girl's death was, in short, this son is too terrible!" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also nodded, it was indeed terrifying.

Jiu Niang was dissatisfied, "Why don't you demolish him?" ”

"What can I say without evidence?" Wang Cheng smiled, "The princess may think that I forced that dumb girl to death to this day." But what about saying it? The two of them have already married, and in the princess's mind, it is better for him to be a love saint than to be a scumbag, right? In the past few years, he has been good to the princess, and I don't bother to debunk him. ”

"But after he became a colt, he didn't have the power to go to the opposition." Zhan Zhao felt a little strange, Wang Feng worked so hard to enter the court, why didn't he see him become famous?

"Sometimes the things in this world are not as good as the Heavenly Venerable." Wang Cheng smiled, "He was really ambitious when he first became a concubine, but not long after, the first emperor died of sudden illness, and the young lord ascended the throne, which is the current emperor." The emperor relied on Bao Xiang and Wu Youjiu Wangye, the Dinghai needle, coupled with the power of Taishi Kaifeng, there was no need for any horse master. In addition, the princess has no intention of political affairs, so the emperor asked the princess not to do anything, just concentrate on accompanying the princess. So after he arrived, he only became a Haotian Lou owner, and he may have some complaints in the early years, but I also fell out, and in recent years, it has become more and more low-key, and he may be older, so he accepted his fate. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other.

Jiu Niang held her chin and asked, "What did Emperor Zhao Zhen do for him?" His imperial sister has helped him so much, there is no reason not to treat his own people preferentially. ”

"It's strange." Prime Minister Wang Cheng also said, "The emperor didn't like him since he was a child. ”

"Why?" Bai Yutang was also a little curious, and said that Zhao Zhen would not be able to look at people to such a point, right? It's comparable to the little fourth son. However, they all know that Zhao Zhen should be fundamentally different from the little fourth son when he was a child, the little fourth son is talented, and Zhao Zhen is purely black-bellied.

"You can only ask the emperor yourself if you have a chance to do this, and the old man doesn't know." Prime Minister Wang said, sighed, and slapped the table, "I can't raise my godfather!" Although it is not my own birth, after all, I have been raised for so many years, how can it be so bad, I am angry when I think about it. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang learned about another Wang Feng's image from Prime Minister Wang Cheng.

It's just that, regardless of whether he is good or bad, let's just talk about the facts of the case. If he hadn't done so much to resurrect his lover, what was his goal?

Zhan Zhao asked tentatively, "Then does Wang Feng have any diseases or other ambitions?" Prime Minister Wang Cheng thought for a long time, but finally shook his head, "I haven't been in contact with him for too long, so I don't know." ”

Later, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang got up to say goodbye, and Prime Minister Wang wanted to leave everyone to eat, but Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang still had a case to investigate, and the prime minister pulled people and didn't let them go, and then the prime minister's wife came out and knew Jiu Niang, so Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left Hong Jiuniang Wang Prime Minister to eat in the house, and they left first to continue to investigate the case.

Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai Yutang saw Zhanzhao frowning slightly, so he asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Hmm......" Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "I wanted to take the opportunity to ask Jiu Niang how my mother's situation was." ”

Bai Yutang smiled, "I didn't think about the case." ”

Zhan Zhao was reminded by Bai Yutang, but he was helpless, "I want to change my brain, this case makes my head hurt, I originally thought that Wang Feng was an infatuated lover, and like Qu Zhongyuan and Shi Ye, he was in trouble for resurrecting his lover, and he did it for a long time, but it turned out that it was still wrong." ”

"And what's next?" Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "It's still early, where are we going?" ”

"Hmm...... Anyway, if you don't go to study too much, why don't you go back to Kaifeng Mansion and tell Master Bao about the matter, and then we will go around elsewhere? Zhanzhao proposed.

Bai Yutang naturally had no opinion, and walked back with Zhanzhao.

When I arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, I heard that Lord Bao asked the emperor to leave when he went to court, and he would not come back until the afternoon, so he ...... Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang decided to find a place to have lunch. It's just that as soon as he went out, Zhanzhao felt that something was tugging at the back hem of his clothes, and then-stabbing sound.

The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Wu holding the back of his robe, sitting at the door, looking at him and Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao lifted the hem of his clothes and looked at it—a good robe was ruined again.

Bai Yutang reached out and touched Xiao Wu's head, "Xiao Wu hasn't pulled your robe for a long time." ”

Zhan Zhao scratched his head, he has been investigating the case for the past few days, ignoring Xiao Wu, everyone went to Taixue again, and Xiao Wu couldn't follow, it is estimated that it is so bored that it has opinions.

Zhan Zhao raised his hand and patted Xiao Wu's head, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Taibaiju together and buy you an elbow to eat." ”

Xiao Wuhuan was overjoyed, and followed Zhanzhao Bai Yutang out with his tail wagged.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's shortened hem and asked, "Do you want to change your clothes?" ”

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "What are you afraid of, you're wearing pants inside." ”

Bai Yutang was speechless and held his forehead, this cat really doesn't pay attention to anything.

The two took Xiao Wu to Taibaiju and found that there were very few people, and it happened to be a meal at this time, which was a little different from the past. Speaking of which, the two looked on the road, and there were not many people on the street today.

"Why are there so few people?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to the second floor and sat down, and asked to come to the tea Xiaoliu.

Xiao Liu shook his head, "Hey, don't mention it, today's Haotianlou sends out dishes, and they are all good dishes for free, isn't everyone going, what kind of place is Haotianlou?" Where can ordinary people usually eat, and our restaurants on these streets have no business today. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned when they heard it, "Haotianlou sent food? ”

"Hmm." Xiao Liuzi nodded, and then hurriedly said, "Second master, Haotianlou's cuisine is actually not necessarily better than my Taibaiju!" Our chef here said that the chef of Haotianlou actually has no real skills. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang suddenly remembered that before Bai Fu Taibai Ju bought Buddha and jumped over the wall, Pang Yu said that it tasted the same as Haotianlou, could it be that the cook was originally Haotianlou?

Zhan Zhao asked Xiao Liu, "You cook here, can you invite him over?" ”

Xiao Liuzi thought for a while, "He shouldn't be quite idle if he doesn't have any guests today, but he has a very strange temper and is very picky, if he says anything offensive, don't be serious with him, he cooks delicious." ”

Zhanzhao nodded, indicating that he could.

So, Xiaoliu went to the back kitchen, and after a while, he brought a young man up.

This man is less than thirty years old, with a mustache, holding his arms, with an arrogant face, and he still looks good.

The young man followed Xiao Liu over, looked at Zhanzhao and then at Bai Yutang, rolled his eyes, and looked up.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned and glanced at each other—this one looked very unbeaten.

"Hey!" Xiao Liu patted him, "You're polite." ”

While speaking, Xiao Liu introduced Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "This is called Guo Tian, and he is our chef here. ”

Zhanzhao and Baiyutang are a little surprised, there are many famous chefs in Taibaiju, and many of them have great backgrounds, after all, Taibaiju is one of the top two restaurants in Kaifeng Mansion. This Guo Tian is young, and he actually sat in the chef's seat when he first came, which seems to be not simple.

Guo Tian pulled out a stool and sat down, and before the two of them could speak, he asked first, "Among the so many cooks in Taibaiju, who cooks which dish is good?" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, not understanding his intentions.

Guo Tian glanced at Bai Yutang, looked up and down, shook his head, looked at Zhanzhao again, and touched his chin as if he was thinking about something.

Bai Yutang drank with a teacup, thinking that it was better to ignore him.

"Can't tell?" Guo Tian raised his eyebrows.

Zhan Zhao said, "Chef Yao tofu fish head." ”

Bai Yutang continued to drink, thinking-tofu and fish head, how fishy this is.

When Zhan Zhao spoke, Guo Tian was stunned and looked at Zhan Zhao, "Oh? You've got a bit of insight. ”

Zhan Zhaoxin said—that is.

"Which dish in Taibaiju is not well done, but it is sold very expensive?" Guo Tian then asked.

"Chef Chen's ancient meat." Zhan Zhao Road.

Guo Tian looked at Zhanzhao again, and his expression softened a little, "Whole Kaifeng, where is the food delicious?" ”

"Taibaiju." Zhan Zhao is not saying that it sounds good, but that it is a matter of facts.

"Where's the best wine?" Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and pointed at Bai Yutang, "His family." ”

Guo Tian turned his eyes to look at Bai Yutang, "Is your family a winery?" ”

Bai Yutang looked at the sky, and Xiao Liuzi added next to him, "The fifth master has a lot of wine in his house, and it is said that Tianzun loves to drink." ”

"Tianzun ......" Guo Tian seemed to be stunned when he heard this name, and then looked at Bai Yutang again, thoughtful.

Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao were not curious, many people had heard of the name of Tianzun even if they were not from the rivers and lakes.

"Then which dish do you think Taibaiju is delicious?" Guo Tian asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang shrugged, "It's all about the same." ”

The corners of Guo Tian's mouth twitched, obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

"Whole Kaifeng, where are the sweet and sour pork ribs done well?" Guo Tian then asked.

Bai Yutang held a wine glass and scolded-isn't sweet and sour pork ribs just a taste, sweet and sour.

"Donglaiju." Zhan Zhao helped Bai Yutang answer.

"Where is the best place to boil fish?" Guo Tian then asked.

"Moon Pavilion."

"Where is the tomato scrambled egg ......"

"That fried rice shop at the gate of the city."

"Where to burn the cake ......"

"The old shop of the Shen family baked cakes diagonally opposite Kaifeng Mansion."

"Where to fry chestnuts in sugar......"

"It's the other side of the door!"

"Where is the stinky tofu ......?"

"The old man's house at the fifth gate of Jiazi Lane in Xicheng sells it, and it only sells for fifty yuan every morning!"

Guo Tian opened his mouth wide, looked at Zhan Zhao in horror, and then squinted his eyes, "Which hot pot ......?"

"Oh, the hot pot in Kaifeng City is that the Xiaowang hot pot in the south of the city is delicious, but in fact, it is delicious because of the wild vegetable hot pot in Zhao Pu's military camp with game barbecue."

Guo Tian leaned back and looked at Zhanzhao in disbelief, "You...... Who are you? The imperial chef in the palace? ”

"I'm ......" Zhan Zhao just wanted to introduce himself, but Bai Yutang helped him make up, "Kaifeng is the first foodie." ”

Zhan Zhao gasped, and Xiao Liu touched his chin on the side - Oh? It turns out that Zhan also has this kind of flower name.

But Guo Tian stood up and waved at Zhanzhao, "It turns out that he is the first foodie in Kaifeng, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Zhanzhao is embarrassed - this flower name won't just sit on the ground, right?!

"The so-called piano sewing bosom friend vegetable sewing foodie! Today, I'm going to take out my housekeeping skills and cook a few good dishes for you to try! Guo Tian is going to the back kitchen.

Zhanzhao hurriedly said, "I want to eat crabs." ”

Bai Yutang held his forehead and dragged his eyes full of anticipation, "Cat, get down to business." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhan Zhao looked back at him, "Yutang, do you want to eat fish?" ”

Bai Yutang was speechless, and Zhanzhao snapped his fingers in front of him, "Haotianlou!" ”

"Uh......" Zhanzhao remembered and hurriedly said, "Chef! ”

Guo Tiandu walked to the staircase, stood still, and looked back, "What else do you want to eat besides crabs?" ”

"Uh......" Zhanzhao hurriedly swallowed back the word "ribs" that almost came out of his mouth, and said, "No, before eating, I want to ask about Haotianlou." ”

Guo Tian was slightly stunned, turned around and sat down beside Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and asked, "What's wrong with Haotianlou?" ”

"Well, I heard a friend say that Haotianlou does Buddha jumping over the wall and tastes the same as you make it......"

Guo Tian laughed when he heard this, "That friend of yours is also a layman, how can it be the same!" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - is it different?

"He just used my own recipe and my exclusive spices." Guo Tian said indifferently, "My skill is less than thirty percent of mine!" ”

Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Do you know that cook?" ”

Guo Tian said indifferently, "Of course I know, is he my apprentice?" ”

……

When he spoke, everyone was stunned.

After a long time, Xiao Liuzi "poofed", patted Guo Tian on the shoulder and said, "Don't tease you!" The cooks of Haotianlou are all retired imperial chefs in the palace, you are old, how old are you, and you are still a master......"

Guo Tian glanced at him, Xiao Liu made his eyes startled, and quickly hid aside, "That person is much older than you." ”

"Where is he big."

At this time, a voice came from downstairs, "He's just pretending to be tender." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the staircase, and the first thing they saw was a silver-white head.

Then, Tianzun came up with his hands behind his back, and he came up behind him yawning.

After Guo Tian glanced back, he suddenly jumped up, "Ah! You boring white-haired man! ”

Tianzun glanced at him, crossed his arms and asked Yin Hou behind him, "Which one is better to cook, Guo Da or Guo Er?" ”

Yin Hou raised his eyebrows, "Naturally, it's Guo Da." ”

Guo Tian jumped to his feet, "Bastard! It's obviously Guo Er! ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other silently—should it ......

"Kitchen God Guo Er?" Zhan Zhao looked at Guo Tian in surprise.

Guo Tianyi pouted, "It's so ugly to use this nickname!" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded silently, indeed-the kitchen god sounded like a beast, it was indeed indecent.

But the two of them thought at the same time that the kitchen god Guo Er and the kitchen saint Guo Da were twins, both of them were divine touches, and they were very famous back then. Guo Da passed away very early, Guo Er's whereabouts are unknown, it is said that he traveled all over the world to eat delicacies and collect all kinds of rare ingredients, how could he be too Baiju to be the chef?

The two pondered for a while, and yes, "two" and "big" are put together, isn't it "heaven".

Guo Er pointed at Bai Yutang and complained to Tianzun, "Look at the fact that you are as boring as you are in accepting apprentices!" ”

Yin Hou walked straight towards Zhanzhao, sat down beside him, and said, "Guo Er's specialty is fried noodles, let him fry noodles for you to eat." ”

Guo Er clapped his hands and pointed at Yin Hou, "Yin Hou is really more tasteful than that boring white hair...... Ah. ”

There were no words to say, and he was slapped on the head by Tianzun.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang exchanged a look - why are the three of them very familiar, aren't they old friends?

Guo Er originally wanted to leave, but when he saw Yin Hou and Tianzun sitting down, he also came over and sat down.

Zhan Zhao was a little curious, and asked with a teacup, "Do you know each other?" “

"I've known each other for more than 100 years." Tianzun helped answer.

"Why did you run away from Kaifeng?" Yin Hou asked Guo Er curiously.

"I heard that my apprentice Kaifeng is here, so I came to him, but he still hasn't made much progress after so many years." Guo Er crossed his legs and shook his head.

"Your apprentice is the chef of Haotianlou, did you tell you any secrets of Haotianlou?" Zhan Zhao felt that it was a clue.

"He didn't say anything about it......" As he spoke, Guo Er suddenly touched his chin, "By the way, I heard him mention one thing." It is said that Haotianlou will have less meals every day. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"It's just that every night there will be one less ingredient left, and it's all cabbage and tofu and the like, so I don't pay much attention to it, so I feel like it." Guo Erdao, "My apprentice is still more particular, some dishes are not delicious when they are cold, and they can't be eaten overnight, so there are a few times when he secretly stalks at night to see if someone is hungry and comes to eat supper...... Later, he saw a few Haotianlou raising martial artists, took a meal, and went out of Taibaiju to the west wharf of the city. They brought the food to a boat docked on the west side of the dock, and then came out with empty dishes. ”

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, "So, who is the Haotianlou person delivering food to?" ”

"He said yes." Guo Er nodded.

"Then does he know who Lu Dao is?"

"He has average kung fu and is very scared, so he didn't go to see it." Guo Er shook his head,

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang exchanged a look - this clue is worth studying, go after eating!

Guo Er made an appointment with Tianzun and Yin Hou to drink, and then went to make fried noodles for Zhanzhao and them.

Bai Yutang asked Tianzun, "Didn't you go to class?" Got class out so early? ”

Tianzun held his chin and pointed at Yin Hou, "Ask him." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou took out something from his arms and said, "That old ghost told me that he was going to see Ji Run's descendants make a tower, but he didn't say that he would go to class." ”

Zhan Zhao leaned over to look at it, and saw that Yin Hou was carrying a wooden box.

"What is this?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Because the Ji Run family has a short life, some important things will be written down in detail, and this box is the secret scroll of the Ji family's generations that they hid." Yin Hou said.

"Really?" Zhan Zhao opened the box with some surprise, only to find that it was empty.

Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang both look at Yin Hou and Tianzun - empty?

"When we found it, the box was hidden in the dark grid, but the scroll inside was gone." Tianzun shook his head, "I guess someone took it away." ”

"So, in this box, all the secrets of the Ji family should be kept?" Bai Yutang asked while looking at the box.

Tianzun and Yin Hou both nodded.

Yin Hou was a little regretful, "Ji Run hid a lot of secrets back then, and this box should have been kept by his descendants, but since it has been extinct, the box must be hidden in the place where his descendants appeared." It's a pity that it's a step late, otherwise you can study it well. ”

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "Who took it?" ”

At this time, Xiao Liuzi came up with fried noodles.

Zhan Zhao also pondered with a pair of chopsticks and fried noodles, "Will it be ...... in the hands of the man in black?"

Bai Yutang nodded, there was no ghost in the small building of the man in black, maybe it was really him, but it was just ...... When he raised his head again and wanted to discuss it with Zhan Zhao, he saw that Zhan Zhao was chewing noodles and had fallen into a certain state of intoxication, as for the case...... I guess I don't remember anymore.
