"Huh!" Zhu Houzhao stared at Yan Chengjin directly: "Old Gao, why does this palace always think that you want to kill Liu Jin?" ”

Yan Chengjin asked with a smile: "Is there a lack of companions around Your Highness?" ”

"There's no shortage."

"If the old companion doesn't go, how can a new companion come?"

"The new companions are not as good as Liu companions, you can give him back to the palace after a few days." Zhu Houzhao said with a grin.

Back to the house,

Yan Chengjin glanced around the house and saw a large colored porcelain flower pot in the Chenghua period, poking out small holes, which were suitable for planting peppers.

In winter, when it is cold, it can be planted indoors as a potted plant.

Chunxiao became more and more bold, and stepped forward and asked, "Young master, is there a place where slaves and maids can help." ”

"Yes, go to the yard and shovel some chicken manure." Yan Chengjin is serious and authentic.

Chunxiao nodded, turned around and walked to the front yard, the vegetables, fruits and vegetables grown in the yard, and the fertilizers were all made of these natural organic fertilizers.

Pepper cultivation requires a fertile piece of land.

One of the advantages of planting in winter is that the insects in the soil hibernate and will not eat the pepper seeds, and with the greenhouse, the conditions for germination become the same as in spring.

There is at least a 60% chance of survival.

For the sake of prudence, he still baked the soil again and sterilized it at high temperatures.

How could he go to the procurement and come back, and wondered: "The young master wants to plant flowers and plants?" ”

"Go to Liangxiang and tell Zhang Xian, send a few craftsmen who can repair, and this young master will build a small shed in the house." Yan Chengjin commanded.

Early the next morning, several craftsmen were waiting outside the gate.

Soon a few days later, there was a small glass shed in the courtyard of the old mansion.

It is five zhang long and three zhang wide, supported by a blue brick wall and embedded with large pieces of glass, quite like a house with floor-to-ceiling windows.

The temperature at the bottom is too low, and it must be a burning dragon.

Yan Chengjin instructed: "Light the fire and try to see if it's warm." ”

He can take a few subordinates and run to the underground fire room, and two hours later, Yan Chengjin walked into Xiaopeng again, feeling warm all over.

"This small shed can grow melons and fruits, and I will leave it to you two sisters to take care of."

"Yes, young master, can you grow melons and fruits in winter?" Chunxiao hesitated and said.

"Just plant according to the old method, this earth dragon can't be stopped, and in two months, Young Master Ben will eat fresh cucumbers."

Chunxiao was stunned for a moment: "So anxious? ”

"Well, if you plant it now, three months is enough." Yan Chengjin said.

After the winter in the capital, the green vegetables only have Chinese cabbage, and the rest are pumpkins and other things he doesn't like to eat.

Just plant some fruits and vegetables.

……

Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yamen.

Liu Jin has been locked up in prison for a few days, and no one has cared about it so far, and it is better to fall into the hands of Franco.

Those Francos will be poisoned in a month at most.

If it falls into the hands of Lord Yan, it can't be poisoned.

Lord Yan is extremely cautious, he never eats anything outside, and when he came to the East Palace in the past, he didn't drink tea.

If you want to poison him, you have to knock him out first.

"Are you thinking about how to poison the official?" Yan Chengjin stood in front of the cell door, three feet away.

Liu Jin hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, the slave swears, I can't afford to be poisonous!" ”

"Count your acquaintances, how did you get back from Furlan?" Yan Chengjin saw him return to his hometown in fine clothes, and he was a little suspicious.

Liu Jin's eyes were a little evasive, and he held back for a long time before he said: "The villain came back along the way he went." ”

There are many small countries in the Western Regions, such as Wusun, Qiuzi, Yanqi, Ruoqiang, and Hami.

These countries are bandits.

Liu Jin was alone when he went, and it was impossible for him to wear gold and silver when he came back, just like the Emperor of Europe.

Yan Chengjin suspected that Liu Jin must have concealed something.

"Do you have an entourage?"

"No ......"

"The envoy of the two kingdoms of the Great Food Country and the Great Ming, Nicholas Liu Jin!" Yan Chengjin read out his official position word by word.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally one of the three legal divisions of the imperial court.

It was at the inn that I found Liu Jin's servant, investigated his heels, and made sufficient preparations to meet him.

This thing pretended to be the messenger of the Ming Dynasty in Dashi and met with the crown prince of Dashi Country.

After being escorted by the soldiers of the Great Food Country, he returned to Daming.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao's trick of making himself an official made Liu Jin learn it.

This thing didn't die in the Western Regions, it is worthy of being the Eight Tigers, and it has a bit of Bei Ye's survival power.

Liu Jin was frightened, and insisted: "The slave didn't do it...... Adults have been wronged. ”

Yan Chengjin took out the document of the Great Food Country from his arms, and Liu Jin opened his mouth slightly as if he had lost his soul.

……

Canopy Palace,

There was no burning dragon, and it was a little cold in the hall, but His Majesty insisted on coming here, and Xiao Jing had no choice but to put on a big coat for His Majesty.

Emperor Hongzhi said worriedly: "Is there any news from Zuo Zongyi?" ”

"Not yet, the slave and maid estimated, Lord Zuo should just go to sea, in a few days, the news should come back, Your Majesty don't worry, Lord Zuo saw the Japanese when he was the imperial historian in Fujian." Xiao Jing said with a smile.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "I naturally believe in the Zuo Qing family. ”

"Your Majesty, there is a strange thing to say, the missing companion of the East Palace has returned, and I heard that he has gone to the country of Franco." Mu Bin reported.

"What are you going to do in the Western Regions!" Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled and faintly felt that he had something to do with the crown prince.

Mu Bin said: "It was sent by the prince to find a thing, called potatoes." ”

Emperor Hongzhi paused: "Potato...... What is it, has it been recovered? ”

"Found the chili peppers." Mu Bin said with a smile.

Xiao Jing saw that Emperor Hongzhi was interested, so he interjected: "The slave maid also listened to the report of his subordinates, and the companion is called Liu Jin, who is the eunuch selected by the slave maid from the Inner Academy in his early years.

I don't know why, I was locked up in the Metropolitan Procuratorate by Lord Yan. ”

The more Emperor Hongzhi listened, the more bizarre he became: "He went to the country of Fran and came back?" ”

"I heard so!" Mu Bin nodded emphatically.

If the eunuchs in the palace escape, they can be punished with rods, exile or even hanging.

It only depends on how the celebrant disposes of it.

And the Ming Dynasty implements a sea ban, and no matter how much you run, you can't run to the Franco!

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised that this person actually came back alive, which was really a bit magical.

For a moment, he was faintly excited.

Since the Three Treasures eunuch went to the West, all nations have come to court.

After Kerenzong, the national strength gradually declined, and only a few surrounding states came to pay tribute.

Now nearly a hundred years have passed, and I don't know what happened to the countries of Franco.

"Bring him to me!"

Xiao Jing quickly went to the yamen dignitaries of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yan Chengjin instructed: "Father-in-law Xiao, this person is very good at using poison. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Yan, we will be optimistic about him."

A moment later,

Liu Jin knelt in front of Emperor Hongzhi and trembled, "Slave Liu Jin, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

"What happened to the Francois to the west?" Emperor Hongji's majestic voice rang out.

"The slave maid went to Dashi, and he hasn't arrived in the country of Fran Ji yet." Liu Jin didn't dare to conceal it: "Everyone can't afford to eat, and I'm about to starve into a bamboo pole, which is far less prosperous than my Daming." ”

The corners of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth loosened slightly, and soon disappeared: "So poor? ”

"Your Majesty, it's true, the minister doesn't dare to hide anything."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "What about the chili peppers?" ”

"All the slaves and maids have been handed over to Lord Yan."

Yan Chengjin came to the Huagai Hall and met Emperor Hongzhi.

Liu Jin lied that he was a messenger and fooled the customs clearance document of the Great Food Country, which is a big crime to cover up, kill Liu Jin, at least tell Emperor Hongzhi.

"What is this?" Emperor Hongzhi flipped through a few pages and found that he had never seen such a word.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "Liu Jin lied that he was the messenger of the Ming Dynasty and deceived the Wen Mu of the Great Food Country. ”
