Shen Xianyun, the prefect of Cheongju, was not ambiguous after receiving the urgent report, and immediately reported it to the household department. It stands to reason that the governor of southern Xinjiang is the boss of the prefect of Qingzhou, and it is reasonable to hand over the chapter to the governor's palace. But Nanhua Island is extraordinary in Bihai Country, and the Baotai Bureau is also directly under the Ministry of Households, and even the candidates for the prefect of Qingzhou are decided after asking the Ministry of Households, so Shen Xianyun knows very well in her heart that the important chapters on weekdays will be handed to the Ministry of Households and then copied to the Governor's Mansion of Southern Xinjiang, which is simply putting the cart before the horse.

In this regard, the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Office is well aware of this and has been holding back. Because Cheongju is nominally under its jurisdiction, most of the areas under Cheongju's jurisdiction are mining areas, and the things that are played are also related to the household department. Instead of mixing all the piles and piles with the household, it is better to open and close your eyes to the household to get an idea, and you only need to transfer the chapter to Fuxingtai. What's more, the household department is Lu Wenchi's territory, even if the Governor's Mansion is half a level higher than the household department, for the sake of the face of Peiguo Gong Lu Xingyuan behind him, he will give him three points on weekdays.

Twenty years ago, after the Nanhua gold case, Lu Wenchi strongly recommended Shen Xianyun to replace the former prefect, and she is also well versed in the truth that there are people in the court who are good officials. This time about the demon beast, she didn't even hand the copied chapter to the Governor's Mansion, but just reported it to Lu Wenchi urgently.

Lu Wenchi's answer was also very simple: the actual investigation will be strictly handled.

Shen Xianyun has followed Lu Wenchi for so many years, and Lu Wenchi's mind can be understood with just a few numbers. So she personally summoned Zhang Laosan, father and son and other miners who took the lead in escaping from the mine for careful interrogation.

After asking clearly, he only smelled the stench and didn't see the demon beast, so he immediately became furious and threw everyone into prison.

"There are one hundred and thirty-two miners present, and none of them have seen the demon beast in person, but they just spread rumors and demagoguery just by some smells, which is really vicious! Such people will be severely punished. ”

Three days later, the court opened a public trial, and on the charge that Zhang Laosan's father and son wanted to use the demon beast as an excuse to confuse the public, but in fact wanted to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and sabotage work, they were sentenced to a fine of 40 boards each, and the rest were ordered to resume work immediately without delay.

Zhang Ergou thought that his father was nearly fifty years old, and begged Shen Xianyun to receive the punishment for his father, Shen Xianyun thought in his heart that as long as he could stand up for power, it didn't matter who he hit, so he responded. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ergou himself was also thin and weak, and he was beaten to death directly after 80 boards.

Zhang Laosan saw that he had no son, and he cried and fainted. When the rest of the people heard that Shen Xianyun was going to order them to resume work, they were already full of resentment, and when they saw that Zhang Ergou was killed, they felt that they were bitten to death by demon beasts when they entered the hole, and if they didn't enter, they were beaten to death by the board, and they were killed horizontally and vertically.

This commotion stirred up the people who were judging outside the hall. Cheongju is full of mining areas, and six or seven out of ten people are laborers who go down to the mines. Seeing that the miners on Nanhua Island were bullied by this, they became angry with the enemy for a while. The crowd poured in like a tide, smashing the lobby of the prefect's yamen, scaring Shen Xianyun and the old woman who was so old that she was able to escape through the wall in the back hall.

I don't know where it came from, a few people removed the four-character plaque hanging from the mirror in the hall, put the corpse of the second dog on it, and helped Zhang Laosan up, and went to the street with the crowd.

The people on the street didn't know what was going on at first, but they saw those people lifting the corpses above their heads, and complaining loudly as they walked, and saw that Zhang Laosan on the side was crying half to death, and the more they listened, the more angry they became, and more and more people joined the crying team.

I don't know where a few people quickly spread these things, but in one day, they have spread all over the major mining areas of Cheongju. By the third day, several mining areas near Nanhua Island had already broken out in civil unrest.

There weren't many soldiers in Bihai Country, although the Golden Feather Battalion was built after the Battle of Poison Jin, there were tens of thousands of people, but they were mainly stationed around Taiye City, and there were still no soldiers in the local states and counties, so the people could effortlessly break down the prefect's government soldiers and smash the lobby. Now that the people are changing, it has not happened in many years. At this point, Shen Xianyun also had to hand the chapter to the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion, she thought that after all, the Baisha Battalion under the Governor's Mansion still had a lot of troops, even if it was good to send a small part to rescue an emergency.

And the latter, as soon as he saw that it was the mine of the Baotai Bureau directly under the Ministry of Households, was in trouble, and he turned the chapter to Fuxingtai, and he gloated and left it behind.

However, in half a month, the situation on Nanhua Island has been out of control.

* * * * * *

On the edge of the purple bamboo forest of Shuangquan Pavilion, the pavilions and pavilions that have not changed for decades have been decorated with a new look. The maids were ordered by Zhu Zhiling, the princess of the Qing Shark, to replace the stone tables and bamboo chairs originally furnished with luxurious rosewood tables and chairs. The purple and blue carved beams and flower columns are slightly mottled due to their age, and this time they have all been painted in brilliant vermilion.

"His Majesty the Emperor Ming has worked hard for the country for decades, and now the holy feelings are not swaying, and such a resting place must be meticulous and attentive. You can't afford to slack off! "When Zhu Zhiling took the opportunity to rebuild the Shuangquan Pavilion in the name of asking Prince Cangwu to take the cold, he gave such a strict order.

Everyone deeply felt that Princess Qingyun's filial piety was from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't dare to have a trace of carelessness, and some maids volunteered to put forward various repair plans, and Princess Qingyun did not hesitate to praise after listening to it. Soon, in just six or seven days, the entire Shuangquan Pavilion has been reborn, except for the two dragon stone statues that spray water, the original appearance can no longer be seen.

After Zhu Zhiling personally inspected, she laughed with satisfaction, like a child who had just succeeded in his prank.

But Li Chongyan and Zhu Zhijie are afraid that they can't feel any difference, because both of them are coming to this place for the first time.

"I didn't expect the princess to come here for the first time." Li Chongyan was a little surprised.

Zhu Zhijie's expression was a little gloomy, how could her mother's cherished pavilion let her come, and what if she bumped into it. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the prince in front of him, I am afraid that I would never be allowed to come here for the rest of my life.

"I don't come out much on weekdays, I don't move around much, and there are actually a lot of places in Taiye City that I haven't set foot in." Zhu Zhijie's explanation is very reasonable.

"That's boring. The place where I live is called Yunyang Palace, and I am very familiar with every inch of the palace. Li Chongyan's face was a little proud.

"Yunyang Palace...... This name is very ancient, is it also by the lake? "Zhu Zhijie is very interested in things outside.

"Emperor Wanhua is not like your Taiye City is by the lake, it is on a mountain, called Miaodai Mountain. The Imperial Palace is located at the highest point of the Imperial Capital. Although there is no lake, there is a waterfall that flows down the ambergris...... Oh, 'ambergris' is the small hole we have dug under the wall, and the water can flow down the hole to irrigate the whole city, and my father said that it can save the people from the toil of carrying water. Therefore, our Wanhua Imperial Capital is mostly lush all year round. ”

Ambergris ...... What an interesting name, there are such small holes flowing water everywhere in the imperial capital, and it must be a spectacle to look at from the palace. Zhu Zhijie was secretly surprised when she heard this, and suddenly came back to her senses that today she was the lord and the other party was a guest, but now she stayed outside the forest and did not go in, so she hurriedly made a salute, and said with a smile: "Please move to the forest." ”

Li Chongyan saw that her eyes were wandering, bright and moving, and he hid a little shyness, and the two eyebrows couldn't hide his pretty, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, replied "yes", and stepped into the bamboo forest.

Zhu Zhiling originally instructed the internal catering department to prepare refreshments and dishes according to her own regulations, but Zhu Zhijie sent someone to tell her that she didn't have to bother, everything was arranged by her Qinglian Palace. Although Zhu Zhiling was a little strange, it was rare for this sister to have something she wanted to do, and it was just a few dishes, so she agreed.

But Zhu Zhijie is actually very good at cooking.

First, I was really idle, and secondly, when I wanted to eat something, sometimes I didn't want to trouble others, so I simply made it myself. Every time I make snacks and share them with the maids, I see them all smiling, and my heart will be much more comfortable. In fact, those maids were just happy to see that she had saved themselves a lot of trouble by doing it herself. But the praise is not false, Zhu Zhijie's various pastries are indeed sweet and delicious, exquisite and pleasing.

So when Zhu Zhijie accompanied Li Chongyan into the pavilion in the bamboo forest and sat down, and asked him to try his craft, Li Chongyan was really taken aback.

Of course, the most surprising thing is the prince around him. Before he entered the palace, his family opened a dim sum shop, and he attacked his craft since he was a child. After serving the prince, because the prince often wanted to eat new things, the prince saw that the dishes in the imperial kitchen were poor in donkey skills, so he hollowed out his mind and changed his way to cook and eat with him. In the past ten years, the craftsmanship of the prince can be said to be increasingly refined, and it is not inferior to Emperor Wen's imperial kitchen.

But Rao is like this, when he saw these all kinds of dim sum in front of him, there were many that he had never seen before, he was really surprised, and he couldn't help but praise.

"The prince has won the award, but the ingredients of the Bihai country are a little different from your country, just look at the life. In fact, they are all ordinary snacks, I don't know if they are to His Royal Highness's taste. Zhu Zhijie's face turned red, and she was humble, and she was still very useful in her heart.

Li Chongyan picked up a piece of golden pancake, and there was an orange fragrance in his mouth, mixed with some milk flavor.

"It's ...... Adulterated with tangerine peel? But the taste is a little different from what I have eaten, it seems to be a year or two of new age, and it seems to be more than ten years old, strange. ”

Zhu Zhijie smiled, smiling very happily. "Your Highness really knows it clearly. Ordinary tangerine peel cakes are all made with a taste of tangerine peel, and I use one year of new age, three years of old age, five years of Tibetan age, ten years of old age and fifteen years of Xuan Chen. There are a total of five flavors of tangerine peel, so it tastes new and old, and the taste is a little changing. ”

Li Chongyan pondered it carefully for a while, and exclaimed, "Such a whimsical case, which is endlessly evocative, I don't know if it has a name?"

Zhu Zhijie lowered her head a little gloomy, "I named it ...... Five-flavor mixed cakes. ”
