The pain of Zhou Yanru's death made the other two death row inmates turn pale when they saw it.

Zheng Sanjun looked at the poisonous wine in Li Xing's hand and trembled. But he finally made up his mind, took Li Xing's poisonous wine, and drank it with his head up.

Then Zheng Sanjun went through the same cruel process as Zhou Yanru, and finally vomited blood and fell to the ground, losing his life.

The official department is known as a heavenly official, and has the power to influence the promotion and demotion of other civil officials. But in the face of Li Zhi's absolute strength, such power is undoubtedly a mirror.

Li Zhi killed these three people to make the civil officials of the world understand that the rules of Tianjin and Shandong have been changed! In the future, he also tried to evade taxes, tried to rebel against Li Zhi's fairness and justice, and tried to use his power to fight Li Zhi to the end, no matter how big an official he was, the only way to end up was to perish.

Standing in front of the bodies of the two high-ranking officials of the Donglin Party, Zhang Xin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, couldn't bear to look at it anymore and closed his eyes.

In the end, it was Liu Zongzhou's turn.

Liu Zongzhou looked at the poisonous wine in Li Xing's hand and sneered.

"The old man is not talented, and he is fortunate to be called a Confucian master by the people of the time, and there is nothing else, some are fame. Li Zhi thought that killing me could deter other scholars, but he didn't know that this would only arouse the righteous indignation of more people! ”

Li Zhi thought that with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he could run rampant in the world, but he didn't know that he was already the enemy of the world. Since then, everyone in the north and south of the river knows that Li Zhi can be killed. It won't be long before everyone will unite to crusade against Li Zhi! ”

After Liu Zongzhou said this, he suddenly took Li Xing's poisonous wine.

The poisonous wine entered his stomach, and Liu Zongzhou endured the severe pain in his body and knelt still. He wanted to die with the last dignity, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and his body shook violently. After shaking a few times, he suddenly raised his head and spewed out a large mouthful of blood mist towards the sky.

Then as soon as his eyes rolled, Liu Zongzhou fell beside Zhou Yanru and Zheng Sanjun, and he died.

Li Xing was sprayed with blood by Liu Zongzhou, and his whole body was red. Patting the blood stains on his body, Li Xing scolded: "The thief kills the talent!" ”

Zhang Xin opened his eyes abruptly and glared at Li Xing.

On October 13, Li Zhi learned in Tianjin that Zhou Yanru and the others had been ambushed.

This time in Shandong's Junping Tianfu movement, and the subsequent turmoil, Li Zhi won a big victory.

Li Zhi was very happy when he got the news, and personally cooked a few side dishes at noon. After the dishes were fried, he called his mother Zheng, Cui He and his three children to try his craft together.

Li Zhi did not get married before the crossing, lived alone, and also practiced the skill of stir-frying. Of course, Li Zhi's craftsmanship is not as good as that of the chef in the dining room of the Jinguo Mansion. The reason why Li Zhi called his mother and Choi Shi to try it was because he had his own secret weapon.

Li Zhi found dried chili peppers used as medicinal herbs in pharmacies in Tianjin these days.

Native to the tropics of Latin America, chili peppers were introduced to the Old Continent after the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The Ming Dynasty first came into contact with chili peppers in the southeastern coastal areas such as Zhejiang, and then spread inland and northern. The earliest record of chili peppers is found in the "Zunsheng Eight Notes" published in the 19th year of Gao Lian Wanli, a native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, which is called "pepper".

At this time, chili peppers were used as a medicinal herb and ornamental plant, not as a spice. Medical records: "Pepper is warm and dissipates cold, strengthens the stomach and eliminates food." It is used for stomach cold pain, flatulence. ”

Of course, for Li Zhi, who came through the country, chili pepper is an indispensable seasoning for life. Li Zhi fried a few side dishes with chili peppers and served them to the family's table.

Li Huan is already seven years old, and he is much more sensible than before. He sat on the table and looked at the fried chicken with red dried chilies, thought for a while and said, "Daddy, this thing is very bright red, and it looks very good to decorate a plate of chicken." Li Huan had never seen this thing, and thought it was an exotic plant brought by Fanren. ”

Li Zhi saw that Li Huan was serious in front of him, and seemed to be a little afraid of himself, and said with a smile: "Li Huan, do you know what a plant is and what an animal is?" ”

Li Huan nodded and said, "Back to my father's words, Li Huan knows that the teachers in the school have taught." ”

Li Zhi sandwiched a piece of chicken to Li Huan and said, "Then you taste it." ”

"Thank you, Daddy!"

After getting the chicken, Li Huan stopped being gentle, and chewed it heavily. Probably because the chicken fried with chili peppers was very delicious, Li Huan swallowed it hurriedly after a few bites.

"Delicious!"

Cui He saw that the chili fried chicken was very good-looking, so he first sandwiched a piece of chicken to his mother Zheng, and then hurriedly sandwiched a piece and ate it himself. After taking a bite, Cui He's eyes lit up and he sighed in surprise.

"It's spicy! It's spicy! ”

Dogwood was widely used as a spicy condiment in ancient China. Cui He was born in a wealthy gentry family, so he naturally knew what "spicy" was.

After swallowing the chicken in two bites, Cui He said in surprise: "Husband, the chicken fried with chili peppers is so delicious!" Your idea of using this herb for stir-frying is amazing. ”

Seeing that Cui He likes to eat chili peppers, Li Zhi smiled. Later generations of Chinese widely used this seasoning, and its charm is naturally different. For those who have never eaten chili peppers, the shock of eating this condiment for the first time can be imagined. Even if you don't eat chili peppers often, you can still find it delicious once or twice once in a while.

Li Zhi plans to promote the habit of using chili peppers for seasoning in Tianjin and Shandong to improve the living standards of the common people.

Li Zhizheng was about to sandwich a few pieces of chicken for his daughter and youngest son, but saw a personal guard run into the hall.

"Grandpa Guo, a person who claims to be Hong Chengchou is asking to see you outside!"

Li Zhi was stunned, and secretly said that Hong Chengchou was not taken away from his official position by the Son of Heaven? He suffered a crushing defeat to himself in the Battle of Luanzhou, and now what is he doing here?

However, Hong Chengchou led his troops to attack Tianjin, and he was helpless to act on orders, and Li Zhi did not hold a grudge against this famous general of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Let him in." ”

The guards retreated, and after a while, they brought in Hong Chengchou, who was dressed in gray.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Hong Chengchou looks a lot older. The original round forehead was full of wrinkles, and the whole person was very thin. Obviously, Hong Chengchou was devastated by the loss of his official position this time, and he no longer had the pride and ambition he had at the beginning.

Hong Chengchou was stunned when he saw Li Zhi's family having lunch, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Hong Chengchou, the grass people, has seen the Duke of Jinguo!" ”

Li Zhi fed his youngest daughter a mouthful of chicken and said with a smile: "Hongdu came to Tianjin from the capital to see me, what happened?" ”

"How dare the grass people call Hongdu again? Don't make fun of Jinguogong! Hong Chengchou said loudly: "The previous time, Hong Chengchou led his troops to fight with the Duke of Jinguo in Luanzhou, and he was really helpless to act according to orders. Whether it is to conquer the rebels or crusade against the Eastern Slaves, Hong Chengchou is willing to act under the command of the Duke of Jinguo! ”

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, wondering what Hong Chengchou meant.

However, there is no need for Li Zhi to ponder, Hong Chengchou quickly put it bluntly. He still knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said loudly: "Cao Min Hong Chengchou has no official status now, and he is willing to join the Jinguo Gong and be a pawn in Tianjin." ”
