Chapter 326: An Unexpected Hijacker
As soon as the word sweet potato came out, Zhang Shou saw that the face of the old salted fish opposite changed suddenly. β¦ looking at the latest β§β¦ chapters and chaptersβ§β¦ Baidu β§ β¦ searched for β§ β¦ products β§β¦ books β§β¦ β§ he was not a pure slip of the tongue, but after saying the five words that being an official is not the master of the people, he suddenly did not want to replace the two words sweet potato with something else. Although it was only the first time he had seen the old salted fish who had experienced a mystery, he decided to boldly take a step forward in the temptation.
Under Zhang Shou's blazing gaze, although the old salted fish tried his best to show calm and natural, because his mood fluctuated too much, he still involuntarily avoided Zhang Shou's sight. However, even if he looked elsewhere, he could still detect Zhang Shou's eyes. The Celestials and Men had been at war for a while, and he had even the worst thoughts, but in the end he gave up.
He turned his head again and said with a dry smile: "I have lived for most of my life, and it is the first time I have seen an official like Dr. Zhang, who has no frame and is worried about the food and clothing of all the people, I am really shocked...... Now that you've spoken, I can offer all the seeds with both hands for the things we've eaten today. Not only the seeds, but also how to plant them, I can also give me some pointers. β
Zhang Shou didn't expect that the old salted fish didn't bargain with his nephew's things, and after the initial accident, he smiled and said, "Only the ones we ate today?" You really didn't hide anything else to eat for yourself and not take it out to share with others? Say...... Sweet potato? β
The old salted fish, who was still acting cheerful and free just now, finally tensed his nerves again when he heard the word sweet potato, and even unconsciously stepped forward half a step. However, when he saw Zhang Shouxiao looking at him, he finally stopped the impulse, and the smile on his face looked extremely reluctant.
"Where did Dr. Zhang hear about sweet potatoes?"
"Of course, it's Taizu's posthumous work." Zhang Shou looked at the old salted fish, and the expression on his face was unusually calm, "You probably don't know, I once cracked a secret box left by Emperor Taizu in the capital, and the relics of Taizu in it were also rewarded to me by the emperor." Although I was only a little bit of a scholar, I could only see that one of them was a timer, and I couldn't get my hands on the manuscripts, but I also figured out something by chance. β
"After all, Emperor Taizu dreamed of such a thing as the world's four directions, and many people in the court knew about it."
Seeing that the old salted fish opened his mouth widely, Zhang Shou became more and more sincere and sincere: "Moreover, I cracked the secret box, this is a well-known thing in the capital, you are from Cangzhou, probably don't know." If you don't believe it, hearing is false, seeing is believing, if you want, you can go to the capital with me. Speaking of which, even if it's for your nephew, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the capital. β
"Because these are good things that can feed a lot of poor people, and maybe you can buy his life back."
He paused as he spoke, and his face was full of a warm smile: "The reason why Zhu Erlang came to Cangzhou this time is also because Ah Liu returned to Beijing from Cangzhou that day, and Zhu Erlang happened to hear that you have those things that Daming has never heard of." Don't look at his virtue, but he knows very well that agriculture is the foundation of the country, if you can't trust me, you can talk to him, and it's not too late to make a decision when you grow something in the capital. β
Under such a gentle drizzle, even though the old salted fish barely maintained his vigilance and doubts, he still had to admit that Zhang Shou's words did have a little credibility.
What's more, my sister's only nephew is likely to fall to the ground, and he can't really care!
"This matter is not trivial, after all, I still have to leave Cangzhou this bit of family business, Dr. Zhang, you have to let me think about it."
"Even if you think about it, I still have to stay in Cangzhou for a few days, and I'm not in a hurry." Zhang Shou smiled, nodded and turned around to go out, and saw that outside the door, Ah Liu was turning the short sword that was sharpened like clay in one hand, and the short bow was hanging in the other.
Ah Liu also showed a smile to Zhang Shou, then returned the sword to the sheath, hung the short bow on his waist, and then pointed to the sky with his finger, and said concisely: "Go back?" β
"Go back, of course." Zhang Shou paused suddenly as he spoke, and then looked in the direction of the kitchen in the courtyard, and saw that there was no wind, but the curtain was moving slightly, he knew that it must be Xiao Peanut hiding behind to peek and eavesdrop, and immediately ordered Ah Liu, "When you turn around, you will go to Xingtai to deliver a letter." β
Ah Liu didn't look at the kitchen, and immediately frowned, and resisted: "You won't be there if I leave." β
Zhang Shou suddenly laughed: "Didn't Zhu Erlang and Yingying bring a lot of people?" β
"They're not like me." Without thinking, Ah Liu continued to object, "Let them go and deliver the letter." β
Zhang Shou stared at Ah Liu, who was full of seriousness, for a long time, as if he had to back down: "Okay, when you see Zhu Hong and Zhu Yi and them later, you can pick a proper one to go to Xingtai and send me a message, no matter Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu or Zhang Chen, let them come over at least one person!" People in Xingtai can actually let the turmoil spread to Cangzhou and make such a big fuss, of course they have to be responsible for the end! β
Ah Liu nodded with satisfaction: "I have beaten all those people in the Zhu family, just pick the one that can fight the most." β
The old salted fish, who was also eavesdropping in the room, had a stiff expression on his face. What does it mean to have fought all of them, and pick the one that can be fought the most? The last time he saw Ah Liu, who was wandering around alone, he only thought that this young man didn't like to talk and had a strange temper, but he was generous and cheerful. But this time he finally realized how perverse people really are!
Zhang Shou didn't pick Ah Liu's stubble, he had already seen that Ah Liu was deliberately showing the most obedient side to cooperate with him in acting. At that moment, he continued to say unhurriedly: "Since you let others go to Xingtai, you have to go to Cangzhou City in person." Go back and send invitations to those who are connected with the eldest prince one by one, don't pull them down. β
Ah Liusha nodded and said, "Well, I know, Hongmen Banquet." β
"Don't tell me if you know!" Zhang Shou finally couldn't help but laugh and scold, and when he saw that the person was immediately silent, he turned around. When he saw that the old salted fish had finally gone out of the door, he smiled at the man.
"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. It's just that I don't know Ah Liu well in Cangzhou City, can you let Little Peanut send me and Ah Liu on a trip? And I'm new here, there are still a lot of things to do, if Little Peanut happens to be idle, I want to borrow him to help me for two days, deal with all the characters, I don't know if it's convenient? β
"Convenient, of course convenient!" Little Peanut rushed out of the kitchen with a smoke, his thin body straightened, "I am the most familiar with the ground in Cangzhou, I know a lot of people from the three religions and nine streams, I will lead the way, I will feed the horses, I will ......"
"Alright, alright!" Zhang Shou suddenly smiled, and made a gesture to stop the little peanut who wanted to continue to recommend himself, and he looked at the old salted fish. Sure enough, after hesitating for a while, the old man finally nodded, but called the little peanut over, and told him for a while.
He didn't have to guess to know, he must have ordered people to keep their mouths tight and not talk nonsense...... It's better to pay attention to how he behaves, and so on.
As soon as I got out of the salted fish shop in the backyard of this front store, the little peanut was like a bird released from the cage, and it was much more relaxed. He never wanted to ride Ah Liu's horse again, even if Ah Liu said that he was willing to take him to ride, he insisted on disagreeing, and said that he would do what he had to do well, and he snatched the errand of leading the horse for Zhang Shou, and talked all the way.
"Uncle just treats me like a child, always worried that I will be deceived, and wants me not to be sold by Uncle Yunhe! Uncle Yunhe is kind to me, like his own son...... The sixth brother is also very good, I haven't seen a good person who is willing to give me a horse to ride because I like horses! β
Xiao Peanut said, while turning his head to look at Ah Liu, seeing that the young man nodded at him slightly, there was no coldness on his face at the beginning, he suddenly jumped even more excited, and turned to Zhang Shou and said: "I was worried that Dr. Zhang, you are also like those dog officials and big dogs, but later I learned that you are also a good person!" β
Probably because after the turmoil, the sky was approaching dusk, there were not many people on the road, plus Ah Liu was there, Zhang Shou was not worried about what turmoil Xiao Peanut's shouting would cause, and accepted this good guy card with a smile: "How do you know that I am a good person?" Just because I made that meal? β
"How can an official cook for someone like me!" Although Little Peanut said that he walked backwards, but the back of his head seemed to have eyes, he walked extremely steadily, touched his nose while walking, and said, "Dr. Zhang, you cook so deliciously, and you are so good to people, of course you are the best good person!" You must save Uncle Yunhe, he really did it when he was forced to a dead end! β
Hearing that Little Peanut had issued a good person card in a row, and finally started to think about it again, Zhang Shou sighed and said, "I'll think of a way...... By the way, I heard that the reason why the eldest prince was held hostage before was because he was seduced by Xian Yunhe? can charm the eldest prince, and later took him hostage, which girl is so courageous? β
Xiao Peanut was hesitant at first, and then began to talk about him left and right, trying to confuse the topic, and when he found that Zhang Shou was still holding on, he had no choice but to play tricks: "I don't know, maybe it's Uncle Yunhe's old lover......"
"A manly man, even if he encounters a hurdle that he can't get over, unless there are a few thick and black people who are shameless, he will never be able to do anything to offer the hands of his beloved woman...... Even if it's just for drama. Zhang Shou interrupted Little Peanut's words, and then said with a smile, "Although I haven't seen Xian Yunhe, as far as I've heard, he shouldn't be the kind of person who does whatever he wants." β
Ah Liu saw that Little Peanut lowered his head weakly, and he suddenly said, "It can't be you, right?" β
"Six...... Sixth brother, don't ...... No kidding! What is me and how can it be me! β
Seeing that the little peanut was like being stepped on by someone and the tail of the cat exploded, at first he didn't even say a good thing, and it took a while to relieve his breath, Zhang Shou originally thought that Ah Liu's guess was simply nonsense, and at this time he couldn't help muttering, glanced around, and saw that there were no pedestrians on the road, so he stared at the little peanut up and down. At this glance, he found the clue.
Although the body is not very high, and the whole person is a little thin, but the little peanut is indeed quite delicate, and such a delicate, if there is a person who is good at makeup, he can dress up skillfully, and the beauties whose manners are different from those who scratch their heads and pose have their own different styles, maybe the big prince's "unique" guy will really take the bait.
Although Xiao Peanut lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhang Shou's sight, he insisted for a while, and finally whispered dejectedly: "It's me...... I took the initiative to ask for help. You can't sacrifice a girl from a good family for this. As for me...... I really didn't work, so I fought hard with him, but fortunately, I didn't wait for that time at all, and I seized the opportunity......"
Good boy, if it weren't for Ah Liu's rich associative power, he would have almost missed such a big fish?
Zhang Shou took a breath lightly, waited to turn his head to the side, and saw Ah Liu looking up and down the little peanut with great interest, as if he had become the weirdo who looked at people before and had a more delicious mouth, he had to cough heavily.
"Didn't General Zhu ask Xian Yunhe about this before?"
Little Peanut suddenly became even more empty-hearted: "What did General Zhu ask...... But Uncle Yunhe refused to say it, and the others didn't know, plus Uncle Yunhe carried all the charges alone, so he ......" The more he said, the quieter his voice became, the more he said, the more guilty he became, and in the end, his eyes were a little red, "Actually, at this time, I should be locked up with him ......"
At this moment, Ah Liu suddenly jumped off the horse, and then slapped the little peanut on the shoulder, seeing that the person was excited, he immediately raised his head and found that it was him, so he pressed his chest in shock and breathed a sigh of relief, and he said bluntly: "Don't let him down." β
These are just four words, and the little peanut almost shed tears again. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes vigorously, and then he burst into tears and smiled: "Thank you, sixth brother." β
Ah Liu nodded to Little Peanut, then reached out and rubbed his head, then turned around and went straight back to the mount, and jumped on the horse with ease. And after Zhang Shou saw the smirk and touched his head, he regained his spirit and led the way in front of the little peanut, and couldn't help but glance at Ah Liu again.
Unknowingly, Ah Liu, who is silent most of the time, will actually comfort people! If it is not Xiao Peanut, a pseudo-mother who used to dress as a woman, who comforts him, but a real girl's family, then he can really rest assured, because that means that the teenager has finally grown up. It's a pity that there is still a long way to go......
As for whether the old salted fish will run away because of something, Zhang Shou is not worried at all. Because just after he entered the city, he had already heard that Zhu Tingfang still continued the previous ban on Cangzhou City not allowed to enter or leave. This also effectively prevents the escape of the people involved. As for those who want to go out of the city for special reasons, they will go to the county government to report, and Zhu Tingfang must see it with his own eyes and personally let people escort them.
When the three of them finally came to the gate of the county office, they saw a figure rushing forward like lightning.
