Just watched a monkey show of attempted extortion, Song Tuiguan originally thought that Zhang Shou wanted to use this to tell him how chaotic Nancheng was, and forced himself to promise to send elite soldiers to maintain law and order during this so-called imperial chef selection competition, however, he didn't expect that Zhang Shou could be involved in another thing that had nothing to do with it!

This is a quid pro quo, and if you want to get rid of this burden, then you have to help someone in the second phase of enrollment in Jiuzhangtang...... If it is calculated like this, of course he would rather go to the papers, even if he and Wang Jie were tossed badly enough last year! It's better than getting involved in this never-before-seen imperial chef selection contest and the tedious work of grading!

"I had an experience last year, and if Dr. Zhang still needs a helper this year, I will be happy to help. It's just that ......" agreed happily, but Song Tuiguan still decided to bargain, "But I'm afraid there are more people who apply for the exam this year than last year, but Zhang Dayin is not good at arithmetic, and I'm afraid I can't do it alone." ”

"Naturally, you won't be the only one, although Jiuzhangtang said that it sent a few people to Guanglu Temple, and a few people would be sent to assist Lu Sanlang, but there are still a few more people left, just enough to give Song Tuiguan you a helper. Of course, if you are really too busy, I still have the teacher and Mr. Qi and Mr. Chu......"

Before Zhang Shou finished speaking, Song Tuiguan immediately said solemnly: "How can I trouble you and those three bosses...... No, what about the three old-timers who are busy with this kind of thing? As long as I have a helper, I am naturally obligated to do this little bit of power. ”

Lin Laohu saw that Song Tuiguan agreed to Zhang Shou to read the file in a few words, and he was in a hurry. Doesn't this mean that the Shuntian Mansion is the only one left for him to go through the troubled waters?

Whether it is the Rui Cavalry Battalion or the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division, he is just a fast shift head catcher of the Shuntian Mansion, how can he compete with others, won't he be angry when he encounters anything? As for fishing for oil and water...... What are you kidding, there are two big mountains in front of the Rui Cavalry Battalion and the Nancheng Terracotta Division, and it is his turn to fish for oil and water?

He quickly thought about it in his heart, and then he had an idea, hurriedly got up, and bowed to Zhang Shou with a full face: "Dr. Zhang, I am also willing to do the work of dogs and horses in the matter of Jiuzhangtang's enrollment!" In the past, there were not many copies of the test questions scattered, and many people didn't know, but this time I organized everyone in the fast class to post them in the whole city and publicize them in the whole city, and there will definitely be more people to apply for the Jiuzhangtang! ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou raised his eyebrows and pondered, he didn't say yes, nor did he say no, Lin Laohu turned his heart and said in the most sincere voice: "Didn't someone plagiarize other people's preliminary examination papers last year?" I will instruct all the fast shift officers to have one more eye and one more ear, always keep an eye out for such situations, and encourage others to report the test questions when they are posted! ”

In short, in order not to wade into the troubled waters of Nancheng, Lin Laohu is ready to fight! He was sure that no one would hate him, but only thank him, regardless of whether he was in charge or not! Who wants to run to the south city to be called around by a bunch of masters?

Hearing such a promise, Zhang Shoufang laughed: "Since Lin Zhutou is so righteous, how can I refuse your kindness?" That's it. This matter in the outer city, I want to think about it, well, in case there are not enough people at that time, there will be Wanping County Ya! They also have three shifts to use! ”

That's right, this kind of thing should also be the turn of Wanping County Ya or Daxing County Ya to have a headache!

Song Tuiguan and Lin Zhutou glanced at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. When the tea seller sent new tea with trepidation, he also used two coarse porcelain plates to fill the Jiangmi dumplings with dim sum, with an expression that wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, even if the two of them were still suspicious that Zhang Shou deliberately invited someone to do a show, but when they saw the miserable appearance of this old man, they didn't feel like it.

So, Lin Zhutou, who had already revealed his identity, kindly inquired about the inside story of the dispute before the tea seller, and learned that this was a lonely old man who opened a tea stall for a living, and the reason why he chose this kind of sparse flow of people was because there were people building in the vicinity recently, and the flow of people was increasing, and the original tea stall couldn't be opened by those gangsters, so he finally moved here.

Who knew that he couldn't hide from the fifteenth day of junior high school, and the person who was looking for provocation finally came to the door.

So, Lin Da immediately patted his chest and promised: "You might as well spread this tea to the east of Shuntianfu Street in the future, leaning on the alley of Guozijian, the white-eyed old Chen who used to set up a tea stall over there, happened to suddenly fall ill and died, that place is not occupied by anyone, you move there, I can take care of you a little bit." There are many students in Guozijian, and there is still money to buy a bowl of tea. ”

Seeing that the tea seller was so surprised that his eyes were about to light up, and he thanked himself again and again, Lin Zhutou hurriedly pointed at Zhang Shou and Song Tuiguan and said: "Don't thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Dr. Zhang Guozijian and Song Tuiguan of Shuntian Mansion, you have met a nobleman." ”

The tea seller never thought that he would be patronized by a big man in such an inconspicuous place, and he was simply stunned at this time. Finally, he reacted quickly, thanked Zhang Shou and Song Tuiguan countless times, and then was sent back to the tea stove under Song Tuiguan's extremely unnatural smile and Zhang Shou's extremely natural smile.

Then, Song Tuiguan and Lin Laohu, who poured a belly of tea but only ate two Jiangmi dumplings and refreshments, hurriedly left, even if Zhang Shou warmly invited the two to go to a famous guild in the outer city to taste private dishes, the two had no intention of staying longer, lest they have to sign a bunch of unequal treaties after eating a meal.

After sending these two away, Zhang Shou left a handful of tea money, smiled at the terrified tea seller, and then left directly. Just as he said to Song Tuiguan and Lin Laohu, there are so many people who are bullied in the outer city, Ah Liu can find one casually, and as for attracting people to come here at such a time to smash (kick) the field (iron) (board), it is even easier.

And the protection of the dignified Shuntian Mansion and the fast class to catch the head of Lin Tiger is enough for a lonely old man. What's more, it also comes with a popular market with tea stalls near the Shuncheon Mansion and Guozijian!

Leaving the tea stall and passing through an alley, Zhang Shou joined Zheng Dang and Ah Liu. One of the latter two came out today to learn to follow and greet guests part-time, and the other went to integrate the three teachings and nine streams nearby, and at the same time distracted Zhang Shou's security work. When the group of three people left the outer city and arrived at the Xuanwu Gate in the inner city, they found that there were already people waiting for them here.

"Dr. Zhang, if you don't come back, I'm really going to ask someone to go to the outer city to cast a wide net to find you! The government also sent someone to wait for the rabbit at Chongwenmen, and you are finally back. ”

Zhang Shou saw that it was Zhu Hong who was hurrying to catch up, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. What's going on? He was about to ask a question, but Zhu Hong grabbed his reins and whispered: "Something big has happened, you go to Zhao Guogong's Mansion with me first, this is not the place to talk!" ”

The so-called big thing that can't be said on the street, Zhang Shou knew that it must be a big trouble when he heard it. Sure enough, when he followed Zhu Hong to Qing'an Hall of Zhao Guogong's mansion and saw Mrs. Tai, he heard the big news like a bombshell.

"Didn't the imperial dining room be swept away from top to bottom, leaving only a few miscellaneous servants? But the emperor in the palace still has a small kitchen, but many palace concubines can only eat in the imperial dining room, so the queen mother transferred two cooks from her kitchen to the imperial dining room, and the emperor temporarily requisitioned three chefs from our mansion, the Chu State Mansion, and the Qin State Mansion, so as not to make the palace people hungry. ”

Mrs. Tai is old, it is inevitable that she will talk a little, at this time she explained the antecedents first, she paused, and then continued: "For this reason, the second prince also intends to show his filial piety, and even claimed to go down to the kitchen to cook in person, and sent it into the palace to pay tribute to the emperor and queen. As a result, the emperor only ate one bite, but there was nothing wrong, but the queen vomited and diarrhea, and almost collapsed. ”

"As a result, there was a shouting in the Kunning Palace, saying that someone had framed the second prince and poisoned the queen."

Zhang Shou couldn't help but pat his forehead lightly, feeling helpless. Maybe the second prince was framed, maybe he just pretended to be framed, and by the way, he used his own mother and queen as a punching bag. But the question is......

He frowned and asked directly, "What does this matter have to do with us?" ”

Mrs. Tai was very satisfied with Zhang Shou's two words, and said earnestly at this time: "Because the second prince sent a full set of Yangzhou refreshments to the palace, he did not make it, but he invited it to his own courtyard, and the chef in charge of the Yangzhou Hall made it." Didn't you once take Master Ge, Qi Taichang and Mr. Chu together? He insisted that you were the one who framed him. ”

"It's a real mouthful!"

Zhang Shou only felt that the blue tendons on his forehead were jumping suddenly, if the second prince was here, he would really want to add a side kick and an over-the-shoulder fall, and beat this damn guy wildly! He took a deep breath and said in as calm a tone as he could, "What's going on with that chef right now?" ”

"The person has been summoned to the Qianqing Palace for questioning, but it is not clear how it is. Yingying happened to be in the Queen Mother's Qingning Palace before, and the news was sent by her. I asked them to go to you because the second prince kept clamoring to confront you. Although the emperor did not agree, and the news has not yet spread, you can always prevent others from making trouble for you. ”

"What a joke! I've had two meals there in total, and I've never even seen a chef's noodles! The chef he invited himself to the past, and he sent things to the palace from home, but when something went wrong, he relied on others, such a scoundrel, it was really embarrassing! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shou was already furious: "As for what to confront him...... He also dared to open this mouth! From now on, wouldn't the traitors who kill people and steal and kidnap people in the world be able to talk nonsense and say that people have planted false accusations, and then confront people? He and the eldest prince are really a pair of bastard brothers! ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou was rarely so emotional, Mrs. Tai thought about it for a moment, and finally said, "You are right, since it has nothing to do with us, what is the right thing?" However, sitting at home and waiting for news is not a way to deal with it, since you are also back, why don't you go to the palace with me? ”

Zhang Shou has no interest in proving his innocence - after all, such absurd accusations are really empty-hearted. However, Mrs. Tai was also kind, and he thought that Zhu Ying was also in the palace now, so he nodded.

On the way to the palace in the sedan chair of Mrs. Tai, Zhang Shouyi was so happy that he didn't bother to say a word. And Mrs. Tai naturally understood his feelings, and was silent all the way, until the sedan chair entered the Bei'an Gate, and finally stopped at the Xuanwu Gate in the northernmost part of the palace, she opened her mouth to say a word of relief.

"It's all the queen's words and deeds, and she is on a hunger strike all day long, and the eldest prince and the second prince and brother naturally follow suit."

The queen is indeed not a good mother...... But the emperor is not a good father either! If people could be like the third prince and the fourth prince, and take those brothers with them since childhood, how could they be like this? As an emperor, since it is inevitable to open a harem, it is of course impossible to expect to treat everyone equally, the problem is that the imperial succession system must be stable!

Taizu of this dynasty finally abandoned Lichang and chose Lixian, and even held Taizong to ascend the throne, it turned out that Taizong did seem good, but a good emperor did not live too long, and then it was the young lord who ascended the throne, and it was abolished to establish the young, so he tossed and made a big hair, in the final analysis, because the word Lixian lacked basis at all, and it was too subjective! Like, what is a virtuous?

Unless you can kill the son who is at the top of the list and cut off future troubles for the sake of Lixian, you are not afraid of ruining your reputation, please refer to Yongzheng for details.

Zhang Shou was so slanderous in his heart, but his face was slightly bowed, which could be regarded as thanking Mrs. Tai for her relief. After he and Mrs. Tai got off the sedan chair, someone came up to inspect and check the name, and then respectfully invited the two of them into the palace. And with the two of them, in addition to the two mothers beside Mrs. Tai, they are Ah Liu.

Mrs. Tai still just knew that Ah Liu was also in the palace, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart at this time, but she didn't ask too much. It wasn't until the group came to the Qianqing Gate that they saw someone inside greet them, and they only heard a huge commotion from inside.

The Emperor's voice was so loud that it almost toppled the roof.

"Yingying, are you crazy? Human life is at stake, who let you eat! Quick, pass on the imperial doctor to me, no, call everyone in the Tai Hospital to me, move quickly, I can't spare you if you make a mistake! ”

Hearing the meaning of these words clearly, not to mention that Mrs. Tai's face was pale when she landed, and she couldn't even stand on her feet, Zhang Shou was also taken aback, and then he didn't care about anything else, and rushed straight inside. The chamberlain who came out to greet him was stunned for a moment, and then he tore his throat and shouted, "Don't stop Dr. Zhang, let him in!" ”

With this advance shout, Zhang Shou finally passed by the people who ran out in a hurry and rushed straight into the Qianqing Palace. I saw that in the main hall, Zhu Ying was standing proudly and indifferently, with suspicious crumbs of food on her lips, and in front of her, the emperor was circling in circles like an enraged lion, and on the ground was a smashed plate, and a few pieces of dim sum were scattered on the ground.

And when Zhu Ying saw Zhang Shou, she rushed over in three or two steps without care, still in high spirits: "Ah Shou, why are you here?" It's just that the queen and the second prince are slandering you, you don't have to worry about me here! ”

Zhang Shou only felt that his heart was about to burst out of his throat. You don't have to worry about what I'm here for...... I'm most worried about you, a girl who doesn't play cards according to common sense!
