Let Cui's go to the workshop to be a cook, and Ning Xiu has already decided.

But after all, Cui's identity is special, and she is a widow. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ning Xiu did not make a public announcement. Externally, he only said that he had hired a new chef to help cook. Of course, the employees have no problem with this, after all, it is beneficial for them to have an extra cook.

In the past, when there was only Liu Niang, she had to cook meals for dozens of people by herself, and there would inevitably be delays.

Most of the employees were hungry for a day, and although they didn't say anything, they had some opinions in their hearts.

Now, with one more cook, they'll be able to eat on time.

Liu Niang was also very enthusiastic about this helper, and chatted with Cui Shi as soon as they met. For example, what does her husband do, why did he come to be a cook?

Liu Niang has such a temperament and belongs to self-cooking. But Cui's can't. She is shy and introverted, and she is vague when she is concerned about her identity.

Liu Niang asked three times and asked two questions, and she couldn't come up with a reason, so she lost interest and stopped asking.

Anyway, Cui's work is very neat and spares no effort, which is enough.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first month, and Ning Xiu gave the employees a holiday. On this day, according to tradition, the family will gather together to eat glutinous rice balls, admire the moon and release lanterns.

Ning Xiu was naturally no exception. He went to the street to enjoy the fireworks show with his father and mother, Shichiro Shiro.

The Ming court stipulated that the curfew was not implemented for ten days from the eighth day of the first month to the seventeenth day of the first month, and the official holiday began on the eleventh day of the first month, and the holiday was also ten days. During this period, even late at night, the streets are full of pedestrians, and it is very lively.

Ning Xiu bought a large bag of gifts for his family, and Ning Xiu smiled heartily when he saw his family's happy appearance.

Isn't he working so hard so that his family can live a good life and be happy? And now he did!

"Third brother, look what that is!"

Juro was eating a snack while pointing to the crowd in the distance.

Ning Xiu smiled: "I guess it's some kind of juggling class or something, right?" How do you want to see it? ”

"Cover, is that okay?"

"Absolutely."

Ning Xiu spread out his hands and walked in front with a smile: "There is no curfew tonight, you can play as much as you want." ”

Shiro immediately looked excited, clenched his small fist and waved, "Great." ”

Ning Xiu accompanied Shilang through the crowd, and finally came to the front, only to see a juggling troupe performing in the surrounding circle. There are those who swallow knives, there are those who pierce nail boards, there are those who breathe fire, and there are those who perform invulnerability, which is really exciting.

Ning Xiu was also very curious, and looked at it intently.

In the era in which he lived, it was rare to see this kind of performance, and it was more of an entertainment chasing star.

In fact, sometimes it's quite good to appreciate this kind of pure juggling.

Ning Xiu and Shiro were watching and listening to a burst of crying and shouting with their own taste.

Ning Xiu turned his head to look, only to see a man in a brocade robe riding and whipping towards the crowd. He was followed by more than a dozen horsemen, all of whom were also menacing.

Seeing that a group of galloping horses was about to rush towards him, Ning Xiu was shocked, and hurriedly pushed Shilang away, and jumped out of the way by himself.

Some other people who eat melons are not so lucky, and many people are knocked over by galloping horses, and the cries are endless.

A teenage boy beside Ning Xiu was trampled on by a red horse, and the click of broken bones made people's hairs stand on end.

What kind of person is so arrogant that he actually runs a horse and hurts people on the day of the Lantern Festival!

A wave of anger rose, and Ning Xiu clenched his fists and his eyes were cold.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up. I said I wouldn't come out tonight to join in the fun. Okay, now you're going, what am I going to do? Wake up, dead ghost. ”

There was a heart-rending cry not far away, and Ning Xiu turned his head to see a woman in a cotton robe kneeling in front of a man crying.

He took a closer look and found that the man's face had been trampled on, and he was dead, which should have been the man-made sin of the gang just now.

Ning Xiu was even more angry. If these people just hit and injured man-made people, it would not be a big crime, and now they have actually killed people by riding horses, if they are allowed to go away with such impunity, how can they be worthy of this man who died?

If he hadn't reacted quickly, Heshiro would have to be knocked down, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"This person is really lawless, he ran a horse and killed someone during the Lantern Festival, if you really think you can get away with it!"

As soon as Ning Xiu wanted to speak out, he saw a young scholar waving his fist and preemptively denounced this group of people.

This man is clearly the cynical type, impassionedly indicting the evil deeds of this group, which arouses the excitement of the crowd.

"Everyone come to me, let's jointly write a petition and plead to the county magistrate!"

"Sue? Did you sue to win? ”

A disdainful voice sounded, and Ning Xiu fixed his eyes and saw that it was a fat businessman in his forties wearing a foreign uniform.

The scholar said angrily: "How can you not win? ”

"Do you know who it was that hit the man? That's the little prince of the Liao Palace! What about riding and hurting people? What if someone is killed? Do you think the county lord will help us Shengdou people speak? ”

"Hmph, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he is just a little prince."

The scholar argued: "In front of everyone's eyes, he rode and killed people, can he still deny it?" We only need to sign a joint name on the form, presumably the county lord will not dare to openly protect him, right? ”

The fat merchant sneered and said, "Young man, you are too naïve. What about the public eye? Do you really think that this great Ming law can control the descendants of the Zhu family? Those heavenly nobles, phoenixes, dragons, and grandchildren can be above the Great Ming Law. If you go to the county government to complain, you can only touch a nose of ashes! ”

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! The way of the world is not like this, the way of the king is not like this, and the way of heaven is not like this! ”

The scholar said angrily.

"Things in this world are not black and white, not to mention that they can also reverse black and white."

The fat man shook his head: "I advise you to be nosy. ”

"If the county government can't work, I'll go to the government office, if the government can't work, I'll go to the governor's yamen, and if the governor's yamen can't work, I'll go to Beijing to sue the emperor. I don't believe that no one in this world can cure him! ”

"Then you go and sue. I dare to say, you were clicked before you arrived in Jingshi. ”

The fat merchant gestured around his neck as he spoke, and said with a smile.

"You!"

The scholar was furious and glared at the fat merchant fiercely.

Ning Xiu saw it in his eyes and listened to it in his ears, but he had a plan in his heart.

The son of the King of Liao rode and killed someone, this matter can be fermented!

Maybe others don't know the purpose of patrolling Yushi He Wencheng to press Jingzhou, but Ning Xiu knows very well, that is, to collect evidence of the crime of the King of Liao!

The king of Liao was a vassal king, and if he wanted to take him, he had to be a felony, or a crime.

It is obvious that the son of the king of Liao could not punish him by riding and killing people. But quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Maybe the evidence collected from He Yushi is also a little worse? So didn't this incident become the last straw that broke the camel's back?
