Li Bo disguised himself in the post station and came to the back door of the prefect's yamen, and the chain was waiting at the second, "Lord Li"

"Yo, the fifth prince knows I'm coming?"

"Shhh

"Oh, yes, yes, Lord Zhou, what about people?"

"The study is waiting for you, come in."

The two entered the door cautiously, looked around and saw that no one was following, and took Li Bo to the base of the wall.

"What?"

"Be quiet, there are two outsiders in this yamen helping in the kitchen."

"Oh, you go and tell them to go out and buy groceries."

Chain glanced at Li Bo, "Hehe, I didn't expect it." ”

"Stupid, forget it."

Li Bo finally "sneaked" to the study, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Qi reading with his back to the door, Li Bo respectfully saluted Zhou Qi, "Five princes." ”

Zhou Qi didn't look at him, didn't move, and was still reading.

Li Bo peeked at it and said even louder, "Lord Zhou! ”

Zhou Qi finally turned around, glared at Li Bo, slowly walked to the desk and threw the book on the table, and sat down on the chair steadily, "What do you have to say?" ”

Li Bo stood up straight, "Hehe, don't dare." Five princes, long time no see! Hey. ”

Zhou Qi was so angry that he looked at Li Bo with a smile, picked up the book on the table and rushed to Li Bo, "I didn't come to you early!" ”

Li Bo took it, "I wanted to come a long time ago, but I was so quick that I haven't drunk a sip of water yet." As he spoke, Li Bo had already walked forward with Zhou Qi.

"Come on! Didn't you treat you well for the rest of the year? ”

"Treat, authentic Qimen black tea, hehe, I still say bad things about you."

"Hmph, I know. Hey, did my father have a message for me? ”

"Not really."

"Didn't say a word?"

"If not, just let me come, as if he doesn't know you."

"Ugh." Zhou Qi let out a long breath, "Forget it, how are you going to investigate the case?" ”

"Hey, hey." Li Bo propped his arms on the table and faced Zhou Qi face to face, "Lord Zhou, do you want to show the way?" ”

Zhou Qi made a gesture of coming over, and when Li Bo got closer, Zhou Qi whispered in Li Bo's ear, "Check it yourself." ”

Li Bo glanced at Zhou Qi and thought: To put it lightly, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with you. "Where am I going to catch the rat! I look at this case, it's not easy to handle. ”

"The emperor sent you, if you don't find out anything, then it's too embarrassing to go back to Beijing!" Zhou Qi had an expression that was not a big deal to see the excitement.

"Yo, then if I report to the imperial court Zhou Governor for favoritism." Li Bo twisted his nose vigorously with his hand, "Do you think your father's nose will be crooked!" ”

Zhou Qi glanced at Li Bo and finally laughed, "Cut." ”

The two were discussing in the house, Wan Ting tiptoed over, Aunt Li came out of the kitchen, and saw the eldest lady lying on the door frame eavesdropping, Aunt Li didn't say anything and turned around and went into the kitchen.

Wan Ting was lying on the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and Wan Ting fell into the house all of a sudden, "Oops." Wan Ting sat on the ground, her hand hurt, and she looked at it, "Hey, Li Bo!" ”

"Shhh Li Bo hurriedly came over to take a look, and outside the door, the door was closed with a bang.

"What are you doing?" Wan Ting got up with a bone.

"Why are you eavesdropping!"

"I ...... I just saw the chain sneaky, and I thought my brother was hiding a woman. ”

Zhou Qi was still sitting on the chair, and when he heard this, he was really convinced of the eldest lady, "Hey! ”

"Haha, eldest lady, if someone hides a woman in the Governor's Mansion, you shouldn't come to eavesdrop!"

"You two!"

"Hahaha, brother, don't be angry, I'm here to help you prove that you are strict with yourself and dignified and self-controlled!"

"Haha, yes, I can prove it too."

Zhou Qi looked at the two people in front of him and thought: One Huanting is messy enough, and another Li Bo is really tired.

At this time, Wu Yi was also tired, floating on the rivers and lakes all the year round, where did he make plums. On a whim two days ago, I overestimated my enthusiasm for pickling plums. Now that I bought such a big basket, how many plums do I have to pickle!

"Wu Yi?"

"Young owner? You're coming to see the old lady? ”

"yes, what are you doing?"

Wu Yi's small eyes rolled, "Hehe, young owner, I'm pickling plums for the old lady, do you want to be together?" ”

"Me? I won't! ”

"It's okay, it's very simple, I'll teach you!"

"Is it simple?"

"Young owner, this plum will be refreshing for the old lady in the future, if you make it yourself, the old lady will definitely be happier! You tell me? ”

"Well, too, then I'll go see grandma first, come out and let's do it together!"

"Hey, okay!" Wu Yi thought that she was a good life, so she came to a free helper. After seeing Qian Ning enter the house, he quickly found the jar first and carefully brushed it one by one.

Half an hour later, Qian Ning came out, and Wu Yi also happened to finish brushing the jar, "Young owner, I'm done brushing the jar, let's wash the plums first!" I'll go get the pot, you wait! Wu Yi hurriedly went to get the basin, for fear that Qian Ning would run away. Qian Ning saw a large basket full of plums and felt that his teeth suddenly sore.

"Come on, Shaodong, let's pour the plums into the basin first." The two men poured the plums into four basins and brought water to wash them.

After washing the plums and draining the water, Qian Ning and Wu Yi chatted about family life, and after chatting with the old lady for a while, Qian Ning suddenly changed the conversation and asked, "Wu Yi, how do you know how to make pickled plums?" ”

"Hey, this is simple! When I was a kid, my mom did it every year, and then we wandered around and no one did it anymore. ”

"Oh, by the way, I heard you tell you about your father, what about your mother?"

"My mother?" Wu Yi's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she lowered her head, "I don't know, one day I suddenly disappeared, my father said that my mother ...... It's just suddenly gone. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't know, I made you sad."

"Hey, nothing!" Wu Yi suddenly smiled again and said, "Without her, I would have grown so big!" It's nothing, I don't blame you!

Qian Ning saw Wu Yi with tears in her eyes, but she was still smiling on her face, and she felt distressed again, and was about to comfort Wu Yi, but she heard her say, "It should be almost, let's take a look!" The two saw that the plums were almost drained, so they brought a jar that had just been drained, and began to fill it in, and when it was almost filled, they put rock sugar and a small jar of white wine, sealed it, and carried it to a cool place for preservation. ”

"Well, we'll have a good taste of it then!"

"Then let's make smoked plums again! It's also simple, just pack the plums and put salt on them! ”

"It's so simple, it's still very interesting."

Wu Yi smiled and thought, you know what complicated it is when you pickle plums, I can't scare you away, let's make something simple first, and then you will get on the thief ship, and it will be too late to run!

"Now, let's rub these plums with salt, and we're going to have to rub each one." The two squatted on the ground and rubbed a pillar of incense for a long time, Qian Ning found that he was on the thief ship, seeing that Wu Yi had been concentrating on rubbing plums, he felt that he couldn't be tired as a big man. After the two finished rubbing the plums, a knife was drawn on one of the plums and began to soak them in salt water, "Shaodong, it's not early, these have to be soaked for a while, I'll get the rest, you go back!" ”

Qian Ning was tired and waited for this sentence, and was embarrassed to go back directly, "That's it?" ”

"No, this has to be pickled for a day, come back every day! Tomorrow, you have to take it out and wash it again, then drain it, then rinse it with water, and then soak it in sugar water for a day and then drain it, soak it for another day and then drain it, soak it in sugar water for three days, and it will be crispy plums! ”

"So troublesome!" Channing couldn't believe his ears.

"Don't bother, Shaodong, if you have something tomorrow, don't come, I'll do it myself!"

"Huh? It's okay, I'll help you! ”

Wu Yi waited for this sentence, "Okay, Shaodong, see you tomorrow!" Wu Yi hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield and entered the house with a basin.

Qian Ning's brain went blank, and Wu Yi hid in the crack of the door and just wanted to laugh.

It was getting late, Yu Nian came to the post station, Li Bo had already secretly come back from the prefect's yamen, and when he heard that Yu Nian was coming again, he thought: I actually came again! If you don't slaughter you well, I'm sorry that I came to Huizhou thousands of miles away!

"Lord Yu, you said Huizhou cuisine this morning, and the official did taste it in the capital, but since he came to Huizhou, the official should naturally try this authentic Huizhou cuisine, Lord Yu won't mind, right?"

"Haha, Lord Qincha, the lower officials have already arranged for the adults in Tongfuyuan, the authentic Hui faction, my lord, please."

"Lord Yu, this isn't troublesome, is it?"

"No trouble, no trouble, it's an honor to entertain Lord Qincha, it's an honor, it's an honor!"

The two of them talked and laughed and came to Tongfuyuan, and after three rounds of wine and five flavors, "Lord Yu, you participated in Zhou Kai's favoritism in the excerpt, do you have any evidence?" ”

"My lord, her sister lives in the prefect's yamen, they took the money to Chen Ji Qian Zhuang to deposit money, Chen Ji Qian Zhuang must have an account book, as far as the lower officials know, they saved one hundred and fifty taels!"

"Oh? So this house silver is still in Chen Ji? ”

"My lord, then they didn't know why they redeemed it in full. But my lord, my people can say, they don't even save for half a month, but they are settled according to the interest of one year, what do you say they are not enriching their own pockets? ”

"Hey, just one hundred and fifty taels, how much interest can I get in a year?"

"My lord's words are wrong, every millimeter of this is from the imperial court, and when it enters the pocket of the Zhou Governor's Mansion, there is only a big crime and a small crime."

"Oh, yes, yes, Lord Yu reminded me right, is there anything else?"

"My lord, you don't know, the lower officials didn't write in the excerpt, this week Lord Kai visited the Qinglou Chu Pavilion before he took office, and the old bustard is still preaching that the Zhou Governor's Mansion is their benefactor!"

Li Bo slapped the table, "How can this be reasonable!" ”

"That's right! This literati likes this, what can we do as officials! Alas! ”

Li Bo saw Yu Nian beating his chest and feet, hating that iron was not steel, so he wanted to strangle Yu Nian.

"Lord Yu, what about the money?"
