In Bazhou, the sun is sinking in the west, the snow is covered in snow, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, every household in Xiyang City rises to cook smoke, and the old and young gather at home to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and then stay up late to keep the New Year.

On the northwest side of the suburbs of Xiyang City, in the Tian's Wubao at the eastern foot of Longtou Mountain, in a courtyard, Tian Zongguang, the head of the Tian clan, sat under the corridor and looked at the snow scene in a daze, his eyes were blank, his hair was fluffy, his face was gloomy, and he looked depressed.

The wine jug on the tray on the side was already cold, and he had no intention of letting the servant take it to revisit it, because he had never drunk this wine since he put it beside him, Tian Zongguang's mind was not here at all, but in Xiyang City, which was a few miles away.

His son Tian Yilong was locked up in the Bazhou prison waiting for death, and there were hundreds of Tian's men who were not afraid of cutting off the incense, but he Tian Zongguang only had this only son to see that he was about to die, and where would he see his dead father and his ancestors in this room under Jiuquan in the future.

On that day, Bazhou assassin Shi Yuwen Wen sentenced Tian Yilong to death in the lobby and put him in prison, and the case has been transmitted to the Huangzhou Governor's Office to wait for approval, and if there is no objection there, he will be executed at a later date.

"Ironclad evidence is like a mountain, ironclad evidence is like a mountain" Tian Zongguang muttered to himself for a moment, then his eyes turned red, he raised his hand and shook it, and with a bang, the wine jug was knocked over by him and turned in a circle, and the servant waiting on the side looked tense when he saw this, and immediately stepped forward to pick up the wine jug.

Since the patriarch came back from the city that day, his temper has become much more irritable, and on weekdays, the people in the Wubao clan are cautious in front of the patriarch, but now they are even more afraid of being angry, for fear that something is wrong and they will be angry, and the servants needless to say, if they are not careful, they will not even die.

Tian Zongguang still sat still and looked at the snow scene in a daze after knocking over the wine jug, and the servants continued to wait without saying a word. A moment later, a man hurried over, and when he saw him like this, he stepped forward and said, "Brother." ”

"Ah Wu is here?" Tian Zongguang didn't reply. The person who came was his younger brother Tian Zongyuan. Tian Zongyuan saw his brother Xiao Se's back, and he couldn't bear to say that he should go to his house for dinner.

"Hey, I'll toss something about your family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Tian Zongguang sighed and waved his hand and said, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the family is reunited, what is his bad old man going to do.

"Brother, my rabbit cubs are still waiting for a toast, and if the family doesn't talk to each other, won't there be more pairs of chopsticks!" Tian Zongyuan couldn't help but say, and when he stepped forward, he picked up Tian Zongguang and walked out.

If it is on weekdays, with Tian Zongguang's skills, if he doesn't move, then Tian Zongyuan will definitely not move, but now his mind is not here, and he is pulling and pulling with the other party, and he is evenly matched.

Tian Zongyuan was also anxious when he saw that the other party was not eating or drinking: "Brother, why do you have to do something this time, you have to eat some cushions to cushion your stomach, right?" ”

"Yilong is still in prison, where can I eat." At this time, Tian Zongguang no longer had the majesty of the previous sect. Tian Zongyuan looked at him sighing left and right, and saw that the servants were waiting in the distance, so he asked if there was any news from there.

Tian Zongguang shook his head and was about to speak, but he saw the housekeeper hurrying over, he took a bamboo tube from the other party's hand, took out a note from it, looked at it in the dim sunset, and then twisted his eyebrows.

"How? What did you say over there? Tian Zongyuan also asked nervously, Tian Zongguang nodded to him, and then strode out: "Let them eat and drink quickly, and start as soon as the time comes!" ”……

Xiyang City, Xiyang County Mansion, in the hall, Xiyang County Gongyu Wenwen and his wife Wei Chi Chifan sat on the top, Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang in the side room were on both sides of the lower head, and his stepdaughter Yuwen Eying sat next to Yang Lihua.

The eldest son of the nicknamed Brother Que was held by the nurse and sat next to Yang Lihua, and the eldest son of the nickname Thorn Lang was also held by the nurse and sat next to Yu Chi Chifan. Now these four big and three small seven people are immersed in the warm atmosphere of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Yuwen Wen flipped through the book for a few days and finally named his eldest son Jilang Yuwen Weining, and the word came from "The Book of Songs? Daya? Whitevenen in The Board. It means that the country is safe, and Wei Chi Chifan is also quite satisfied with his son's name.

Yuwen Wen, who is a single person in modern times, now has relatives, and this is also the second Chinese New Year's Eve he spent in this era, and after a busy year, he can finally enjoy the warmth of a family reunion.

Zhang Yu, the attendant on weekdays, is now eating wine with Lin Youdi and others and the guards in the house, guessing and scolding the street, Sima Yangji is on duty with the state soldiers in the military camp, and the two good friends Xu Shao and Hao Wubo are also on duty in the backyard of the state government.

Zhang Dingfa and Liu Caiyun lived in a two-person world by themselves, Wang Yue and Zheng Tong got together to have a lively time, and Ban Yuwen 15 and most of the new army generals stayed in the barracks outside the city with the soldiers, and some of the generals were stationed in the city with some soldiers in case of changes.

"Come on, come on, this is my new trick, everyone try it!" Yuwen Wen smiled and looked at the dishes served by the maids and said, although he had something hidden in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face.

Yu Chi Chifan looked at the food on the plate in front of him, thought for a while, and asked, "This is what the husband said?" ”

Yu Wenwen nodded and said exactly, this thing is to grind rice into rice milk and then pour it on an iron plate to heat and solidify, sprinkle with such as minced meat, dried tofu, pickled vegetables, radishes, beans and the like and then roll it, dipping it in condiments one by one, it tastes unique.

The thing he said is a snack in the south of the later generations, in this era, it is absolutely impossible for a second one to get out, the reason why tossing this thing is mainly simple, the materials are also ready-made, the Chinese New Year's Eve meals prepared in the kitchen are ordinary dishes, Yuwen Wen is so ingenious that he wants to add some tricks.

Wei Chi Chi hesitated and did not move the chopsticks, and the well-informed former Queen Mother Yang Lihua was also a little hesitant, seeing the two 'sisters' behaving like this, even Xiao Jiuniang did not dare to move the chopsticks, but the little girl Yuwen Eying didn't care so much, picked up a piece of rice noodles on the plate in front of her and ate it with relish.

"How, is it delicious?" Yuwen Wen asked with emotion, his wife and concubine were so guarded that he was quite 'cold' or his stepdaughter Yuwen Eying relieved the sleep, and the little girl instantly eliminated one and replied: "Delicious!" ”

The rest of the people who had opened the way also tried to move, and immediately found that it did have a different flavor, Wei Chi Chifan naturally had to hold the eldest woman's shelf, and he couldn't gobble it up, and the former queen mother Yang Lihua's demeanor cultivated by court etiquette for nearly ten years was also chewing slowly, although Xiao Jiuniang was a golden branch and jade leaf that grew up in the people, but the tutor did not fall on weekdays, so they were all savored, and there was no obvious voice.

"Don't worry, don't worry, there are two kinds of flavors, sweet and salty, which one do you like?" Yuwen Wen asked Yuwen Eying with 'bad intentions', the dispute between sweet and salty is related to the 'national body' and must start from the doll.

Yuwen Eying just nodded, Yuwen Wen was relieved to see that the hard work he had made for a long time in the kitchen was not in vain, and the family was eating and chatting when the housekeeper Li Sanjiu came to report that someone outside the house knocked on the door and said that there was something important to see.

"Something important? Such a coincidence? Yuwen Wen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, Wei Chi Chifan heard that someone came to the door at this time, and Yang Lihua was thoughtful, and Xiao Jiuniang was also a little surprised when she saw the appearance of the two sisters.

The night of Chinese New Year's Eve is the day of family reunion, no matter where the north and south of the river want to use the sword, so today's natural murderer, Yuwen Wen's new official took office three fires, I don't know how many ground snakes, some were cut down and rooted, some shrunk up and waited for the opportunity, and tonight is a good opportunity.

Seeing his wife and concubine's worried appearance, he smiled and said that it was okay to get up and stroll out: "Sanjiu, let him in." ”

After half a pillar of incense, Yu Wenwen, surrounded by guards, met the man who knocked on the door and said that he had something important to see, and that person he recognized as a clerk in the state office.

"What's the matter with you?" Yuwen Wen looked at the person in front of him with a smile and asked, In these years, it is popular to assassinate and assassinate Shi and the general manager, so he is fully prepared, unless the other party has modern weapons, it is wishful thinking to succeed.

The man saw a group of people gathered in front of him and hesitated for a moment, saying that he overheard a news that tonight the Tian clan Wubao seemed to be mobilizing people and horses to prepare knives and guns to be dispatched, Yuwen Wen asked where he heard the news, he said that there was a brother-in-law who sold meat, and the Tian clan who bought meat reported that today's Wubao set up a flowing water table in advance to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

"This person has no intention of leaking his mouth, complaining that he will not be reunited at home tonight, and he will do something"

"What is he doing, is he going to kill himself, is Tian Zongguang drinking too much?" Yu Wenwen squinted at the person in front of him.

"Envoy, what he said is true, and the Tian clan has a grudge against him, and this move must be unfavorable to him!" The man said with an anxious face, "There are people in Xiyang City who have resentment, and I am afraid that they will make internal responses to the Tian family!" ”

"Guilty? What wind do you hear? ”……

In the east of Xiyang City, on the east bank of Bakou Bahe City, the people of the Lu clan are eating flowing water seats in a noisy manner, and a young man on the watchtower on the west side is raising his eyes to look at Xiyang City in the twilight.

No, it is the military camp on the east side of Xiyang City, which is just between Bakou and Xiyang City.

"Lang Jun, don't you want to go down and have a good meal?" A man dressed as a scribe beside him asked, "I heard that a few big fish were fished out of the lake today, which is a rare sight." ”

"Sir, this Yuwen Wen is quite interesting, when it was built at the beginning of the year, I thought it was his dock fort, but I never thought it was a military camp." The young Lang Jun did not pick up the conversation, but provoked a new topic.

"This person is rumored to be out of tune, and now it seems that it is a false rumor." The scribe answered the question correctly.

"On that day, he came to visit, did the gentleman see any clues?"

"Either you have no heart or you have no lungs," said the scribe, who suddenly stopped, for he did not know what words to use to describe it, and the young man sneered at this and said that he was a scheming man.

The scribe smiled and said that he had nothing to say, and the young man looked at the west again without saying much, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Sir, the hour is almost up, right?" ”

"Almost."

"Very good, the debt is not over the years, and we will see it tonight."

"Lang Jun, there's still time, why don't you hurry up and eat something first?"

"I'm not in a hurry, but some people are afraid they can't wait!" (To be continued.) )
