"Looks like you still can't help but say it." Li Xiao said to Di Huaiying.

Di Renjie was a little embarrassed to give up his hand, and said apologetically, "The stakes are very high, there is no way." ”

"Presumably you are not a little Zuoshi of the Yongzhou Mansion as you say, right?"

"I also asked San Lang to forgive me, I couldn't tell the truth to San Lang that day, but in fact, it was Yongzhou Fa Cao. When I came to Lanxi that day, I was ordered by Yan Changshi, Yongzhou Mansion, to learn about the drought relief in Lanxi Township. As a result, when I saw the corn that day, I was completely shocked. ”

Yongzhou Facao is not a big or small official position, but when it comes to power, it is still quite heavy. Let's put it this way, Yongzhou Fa Cao is similar to the political and legal committee of the imperial capital in later generations-Shu 0 Ji, at least he is also the director of the public security bureau.

Li Xiao really didn't expect to go there last time, after all, this Brother Di is still so young.

"Di Renjie, whose name is Huaiying, is a native of Hedong and Bingzhou, and is currently a member of the military in Yongzhou." Di Renjie bowed to Li Xiao and formally introduced himself.

Di Renjie?

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment.

Last time he said that his name was Di Huaiying, Li Xiao really didn't think of anything else, he thought he was just an ordinary young official of the Tang Dynasty. But now he says that he is Huaiying, a name Renjie?

Di Huaiying was not impressed, but Di Renjie's impression was a little too deep.

Di Renjie, that is the prime minister of Wu Zetian, and under the influence of film and television dramas, Di Renjie is the Sherlock Holmes of the East, and he has solved the case, just like Conan, it is a disaster star of the dead wherever he goes.

I really didn't expect that the very handsome young man in front of me was actually Di Renjie.

"Do you have a friend named Yuanfang?"

"Could it be that San Lang is talking about Li Yuanfang, the entourage below? Does Saburo know him? This time it was Di Renjie's turn to be surprised.

There is really a Li Yuanfang, on TV, this Li Yuanfang is a top master, his ancestral home is Hebei, he grew up in Liangzhou, he has a strong temperament, works seriously, and has a strong principle.

His martial arts can be described as unique in the world, his courage is even more outstanding, he is good at using the Youlan sword and chain knife, and has defeated countless top masters, and he is also a detective master, both wise and brave, it is simply another version of the second brother of Qin Qiong and Qin in the legend of the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

"I have heard of the name of Brother Di, and I have heard that Li Yuanfang is strong in martial arts, righteous and thin, I have always wanted to see him, but I didn't expect that Brother Tai was actually Di Renjie, but it was disrespectful and disrespectful."

Di Renjie was skeptical.

"Yuan Fang is my cousin, I grew up in Liangzhou with my uncle since I was a child, I am really good at martial arts, I am skilled in bows and horses, I have stayed in the border army, and now I have come to Beijing to join me, so I temporarily wronged him to be my entourage. Unexpectedly, not long after he arrived in Chang'an, San Lang had heard his name. I knew it earlier, so I asked him to come over today to meet Saburo together. ”

"If you have time, you must introduce my cousin Ling to me."

Di Renjie nodded yes, "There is really something important to ask San Lang to help me today, after I returned to Beijing from Lijiazhuang that day, I couldn't help but tell us about corn Yan Changshi, because corn is a godsend, too precious, I dare not hide it." ”

"The Emperor already knows about corn?"

"Yes, Yan Changshi didn't dare to hide this matter, and he played it to His Majesty as soon as possible. Now His Majesty and the Prime Minister are discussing this matter, and have sent an angel to summon Yan Changshi to bring corn to the audience. ”

"Oh, I see." Li Xiao smiled, "You are also really bold, just based on my words, you dare to disturb the heavens, and you are not afraid that I will lie to you?" ”

"I saw corn with my own eyes that day, and I also believe that Saburo is not such a boring person, so he makes false statements. Now that time is pressing, please follow San Lang into Beijing, and your majesty may also summon San Lang in a while, I hope you are ready. ”

Li Xiao shook his head.

"What, isn't Saburo willing?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that even if I do have corn seeds in my hand now, with only a few seeds, why do you think Your Majesty will believe my words?"

'This," Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, he was concerned about it, always thinking that corn was too precious, and he was afraid that he would lose it outside, so he didn't think about these problems.

"I believe that there is always a way to prove this, and I ask Saburo to leave."

A few Li Zheng on the side, when they heard that the young man in front of him who was very polite to Li Xiao was actually the Fa Cao of Yongzhou Mansion, they didn't dare to say anything for a long time. In Lanxi Township, they are also big shots, and if they stomp their feet, at least they will be shocked.

But in front of Yongzhou Facao, he is a very small person, and he is a big man in charge of the justice of Yongzhou 22 counties.

However, when I heard that even the high-ranking Governor of Yongzhou Shi had arrived in Lanxi, and when he was waiting for Li Xiao to go back in Lijiazhuang, he couldn't close his mouths one by one.

The history of the governor of Yongzhou is much higher than the history of thorns, and the entire twenty-two counties of Gyeonggi, including Chang'an City, are all managed by people.

And when they heard Di Renjie say that Li Xiao had a heaven-sent treasure, and now the emperor had to wait to see him, their legs were already weak with fright, and they almost couldn't stand up and wanted to kneel.

"Let's go."

Since even Governor Yong Shi is here, there is still nothing to say.

Lijiazhuang.

Liu Qi was accompanying Yan Liben to visit Lijiazhuang, and Liu Qi, who had been here once last time, took the initiative to introduce these differences in Lijiazhuang to Yan Liben, and also said a lot of praise for Li Xiao.

However, Yan Liben asked many villagers, but none of them knew about corn.

Finally, when asked about the Li family's compound, Mr. Zhao had eaten corn, but he didn't know where the corn was.

"This Li Xiao's hiding is really deep."

"Li Sanlang is indeed different from ordinary people, this son is smart, and he was once recruited by the imperial court to join the military for the seven grades of the Eastern Army, but he refused to accept it, and his skills are extraordinary."

"Anyone who has the ability will have a bit of a strange temper, but this old man has known it for a long time. I hope I can see the amazing corn this time. ”

When Li Xiao came back, Yan Liben was already a little impatient.

As soon as they met, they stopped Li Xiao's visit.

"Li Xiao, where is your corn?"

Li Xiao didn't say much, turned around and went into the house, took a corn that had been dried, and specially brought a piece of corn stalks.

"This is corn?"

Yan Liben first looked at the corn stalks, the corn stalks had dried up, and the black-green leaves had turned blue-white.

"It looks a bit like sorghum, but it's not the same."

Then he looked at the corn cob, which was very thick, more than a foot long, with rows of golden jade grains on it, which looked really like jade.

"This is corn?"

Di Renjie next to him took over, "Changshi, the corn I ate in Lijiazhuang last time is exactly this, but the last time I ate fresh corn that has not yet matured, this time it is more mature, and the corn is exactly this." ”

"Can you eat it?" Yan Liben asked.

"It's edible, and it's delicious."

Yan Liben asked again, "It's delicious to cook, but what about being a staple food?" ”

Li Xiao pressed the corn kernels, "Long history, please see, this corn has been dried, the grains are thick, rich in starch, rub the corn kernels down and then grind them into flour, which can be directly boiled into paste, or made into cakes, and it is very easy to store, and the taste is also good." ”

Yan Liben looked at it carefully for a while, and finally held the corn baby in his hand.

"Okay, now please San Lang and the old man go to the capital for a trip."

"The corn has already been given to the long history, can I not go?"

Yan Liben's eyes widened, "Of course not, Your Majesty is very likely to summon you to ask the right question, if you don't go, you can't go, let's go." ”

"Shall I go back to the house and change my clothes first?"

"I don't need to."
