Chapter 309: Strange Wells
Before the king entered the courtyard, he heard the voice of the courtyard talking, "Huh, is there anyone else who is not convinced?" The guards pushed open the courtyard door, and the group walked into the courtyard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The main house of the front yard is the so-called kitchen operation room, and the east and west ear rooms are the warehouses for charcoal and coal fires on one side, and the chickens, ducks, fish, meat, vegetables and other materials for cooking on the other side; The corridor between the east and west transepts and the main house is connected, the moon gate on the west side leads to the backyard, and there is a well in front of the porch at the northeast foot. The yard is paved with bluestone, and there are some fruits and vegetables planted on the land of the road twice, and the vine trellises erected on both sides of the bluestone road are full of branches and leaves, and there are gourds, melons and fruits.
The king noticed that under a tree on the west side of the courtyard there was a stone table and several stone benches, and behind the stone table there was a well.
The kneeling men begged for mercy, and the courtyard was illuminated by the lanterns hanging along the corridors and the lantern torches held by the king's party. Some of them had the audacity to look up at the king, who had been in the palace for the first time today, and had been busy preparing for the dinner party during the day when the ceremony was being held. Some have also heard that this prince is suave. I didn't expect to see it so soon, and I didn't expect to see the scene of the prince a little thrilling. Just looking at this look, the peeking person hurriedly lowered his head.
"Hmph," the corner of Wang's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Who said you wanted to reason with me just now?" ”
Someone in the crowd replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, it's me." ”
"Get up, all of you!" Wang next to waved his hand to signal everyone to get up, that person was right, he just came to Yongzhou on the first day, if someone deliberately made trouble, he wronged a good person, not to say, in the future, this kitchen is a heavy place, these people don't care, but there will be endless troubles.
"What's your name and what are you doing in the kitchen?" The man hurriedly followed, bent over and quickly wiped the stone bench with the sleeves of his clothes: "Lord Wang, my surname is Li, I was born with more than ten catties, my father said that I was big enough, so he gave me the cheap name Li Da, my nickname is Li Da, I am nicknamed Li Da, and I am the steward of this kitchen." ”
Hearing him say this, Wang looked at his face, this man was in his thirties, with a big head and a thick neck, and at first glance he was born as a husband. This registration is too detailed, who asked him so much. Wang couldn't help but laugh, turned around and sat on the stone bench that Li Da Fat had just wiped clean.
Wang next to the smile like this, the tense atmosphere in the courtyard just now also eased, some people also know that Li Da Fat Man has such a string of broken mouths every time he says his name, some snicker and some complain about him, when will he pay this problem, it is the prince who asks him.
Li Da Fat wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, peeked at the king with his eyes, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, this prince is really handsome. It's not an exaggeration to describe him as a (beautiful man). He was nearly seven feet tall and wore a purple robe embroidered with green stripes and a white placket with a bright silk surface. These eyes are as bright and dazzling as obsidian, shining with an awe-inspiring heroic aura, and the eye waves are surging like sharpness, and they are even more imposing on the handsome face with sharp edges and corners.
Li Da Fat didn't do anything wrong, although he looked at the appearance of the king next to him, but after these two sentences, he didn't see too much blame in his tone and did not have the arrogance he imagined, he hurriedly continued: "Lord Wang, I don't want to find you a theory, you see that there are dozens of people up and down in this kitchen, and they have been busy preparing for several days. We didn't expect such a big thing to happen, if you want to blame me, it has nothing to do with others. ”
"Someone!" The king greeted him, and Han Derong came over: "Lord Wang, what do you say about what to do with him!" ”
"Reward!"
"Reward?" Hearing such a word, there was a commotion in the courtyard, and some people couldn't believe their ears, and they all stared at the handsome prince.
Even Li Da Fat Man is empty-hearted, this prince won't say anything back, right? The sweat on his head was even more, and although he was determined to do so, his legs were still shaking.
Han Derong, who received the order, didn't ask much, the words next to the king were orders, who knows what this prince thinks. Anyway, I have been with the king for so many years, and I know that this person acts differently from others. There is a fixed number of rewards next to the king, and the reward for the subordinates is generally fifty taels of silver. Remember, there was such a big incident in the kitchen of this house, and the person in charge not only was not punished, but also got so much silver? Han Derong turned around and glared at Li Da Fat and said, "You kid is lucky." Wait! After that, he turned around and went out, and went to the inner mansion to find Cai Jing to get the reward card.
Li Da Fat didn't know what Han Derong meant, and his face turned white with fright. "Lord Wang, this is really none of the business. If you want to be punished, give it a good time, this, this is ......"
"Haha!" The king couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was so honest.
"Lord Wang, crazy!" Seeing the king laughing, Tulle pointed to his head and wanted to say to Li Jie. As soon as he turned around, Li Jie, who was still by his side just now, didn't know where to run, Tule looked for a long time in the crowd, and saw that Li Jie's would go around behind the king, and touch the wall of the well behind the king with his hand.
Wang Bian also noticed that Li Jie had quietly arrived behind him, and he glanced back at Li Jie, thinking that this Li Jie might have discovered something, and asked him to study it again. Tulle spoke in a coarse voice, and his tone of voice was very stiff, so it was particularly piercing to hear.
"Thule! Come here," beckoned to him.
Thule walked out of the crowd, and the cooks looked at Thule as if they were monsters, where had they ever seen someone like this? Find a youkai to eat me? The fat man also looked at Thule with suspicious and frightened eyes.
"You say I'm crazy?"
"That's right! You, you want to reward him, and hahaha! Isn't it crazy? Thule couldn't speak that long Chinese, but he could still speak simple Chinese.
"Do you see these people are so honest and conscientious, like bad people?" The king seemed to be asking Thule, but he was also speaking to the people. Thule shook his head: "Not like that! ”
"Then you see this big fat man Li, as a steward, can speak for everyone, is he quite qualified to do things?" Wang asked patiently, "Yes, righteous anger, right?" Wang Ye" Thule thought for a long time, thinking of the word "righteous qi in Chinese."
"Well, the one who dares to take responsibility, do we want to reward it?"
Wang Pan said, looked at everyone, and the cooks all looked at each other and nodded, and seemed to agree with Wang Bei's words. Even Li Da Fat's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were red. Thule also felt that what the king said made sense, and he thought about it before nodding and then looking up: "Hahaha! After that, he said, "Ha is not crazy! ”
He wasn't crazy, but his series of actions amused everyone in the yard. At this time, Han Derong came back, holding a golden reward plaque in his hand, of course, this is not made of real gold. Han Derong walked up to Li Da Fat and said, "Then, this is the reward card, you can go to the tent to get the reward of fifty taels." ”
"Wow!" There was an uproar in the courtyard, and the salary of this cook for a year was only fifty or sixty taels of silver. Suddenly, in the minds of these people, Wang was the most benevolent prince in the world, and he could do things under this prince, and a sense of satisfaction and envy for Li Da Fat appeared on everyone's face.
This will Wang next to him feel that the heat is almost over, he coughed lightly, the courtyard suddenly quieted down, he looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes stayed on the big face of Li Da Fat Man who was surprised and happy:"
This yard is usually crowded with people, and in the future, you arrange one or two people to take shifts, and I will let the chief steward make a passing waist card in each room. Illness comes from the mouth, everyone should be careful. Especially in Yongzhou, guarding the border, the kitchen is also a heavy responsibility, don't be negligent anymore. ”
When Li Da Fat heard the tone of the king, he was so moved that he was about to cry, and hurriedly said yes.
"Also, although I believe you, the poisoning of someone at today's dinner has nothing to do with the kitchen, but you can't escape the responsibility of negligence."
Li Da Fat's mood at this time was that the king ordered him to be beaten dozens of boards, and he felt that it was worth it: "Lord Wang, the little one knows that he is wrong, there must be something wrong inadvertently, you are punished, I admit it!" ”
"Good! Is that what you say? The king stared at the fat man Li, and when he saw him, he gritted his teeth and raised his eyebrows: "What I said, I admit punishment!" ”
"Someone, give him a demerit, you remember, and those who demerit twice in the future will be held responsible! If there is a recidivism, I will have a good temper, and I may not have a good temper among the guards generals. "Wang Bei really didn't plan to punish him for anything? I was not interested in beating my own subordinates, but these few words made everyone's hearts feel cold. These black King Kong-like guards next to the king can beat these people to death with any punch.
When Li Da Fat heard that he would not be punished this time, but if he neglected again, he would have to be unlucky, not to mention that this prince was a god with clear rewards and punishments in his heart, how could he dare to be negligent for half a day.
After the king said this, he sighed softly, and he ordered everyone to go down and go to their own work, and the people in the kitchen were left with only this frightened Li Da Fat Man. But even so, he still didn't know what the problem was, he turned his head to look at Li Jie and asked, "Li Jie, have you found anything?" ”
"Well, it's a little strange, I can't do drug checking, but I just look at this well awkwardly. You see, the location of the well in this courtyard is generally behind the rocks, at the end of the corridor, which does not affect the overall pattern. But the well next to you is a little abrupt. Look at the wall of this well, this is a new well. I don't know how it came to be here. ”
When Wang Fang first came in, he couldn't tell where the whole courtyard had changed a little, and after Li Jie's words, he also found that this well was not only in an improper position, but also the wall of the well was slightly higher than the normal well.
"What's going on with this well?" Wang pointed to the well and asked Li Da Fat.
Li Da Fat hurriedly replied, "Lord Wang, we had this well when we came, and we probably didn't use it much since it was dug." In the past few days, we heard that you are almost there, and when we cleaned up the yard, we found that the water in this well was quite cool, so we put the fruit in it and chilled it......"
"Here's the problem! Somebody, get some well water! Wang stood up and walked to the well, and looked inside, and the well was dark except for a bright moon reflected at the bottom of the well.
The steward of the kitchen came with two cooks, and brought some water, and the king tried it with a silver needle, and sure enough, the silver turned black. The king looked at the other two wells, but there was no problem with the water in them, and it seemed that this well and the other two were not the same source of water.
The problem is indeed the fruits and vegetables that have been frozen by the well water, but is there a problem with the well in the first place, or is someone doing it on purpose?
"Don't touch this well first, observe it for a few days, if there is a problem with the well water, the poison will naturally dissipate. If someone does something and looks at the situation of poisoning these people today, it seems that the poisoning is not deep, and the underground water source may be able to take the poison away. The king instructed the fat man Li.
Li Da Fat nodded vigorously and said yes, Wang stood up, since he had found the source, now he had to consider the source of the poison, he was about to lead the team back to the house, Cai Jing ran into the kitchen in a panic from outside: "Lord Wang, something happened." ”
Cai Jing's expression shocked Wang Bei's heart, and what he was most worried about now was Su Xiaomei and the poisoned people: "What's the matter, tell me quickly." ”
"The minister of Dali, carrying a sword, wants to find you desperately!"
"Alas! You scare me! I thought ......"
Cai Jing hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't worry, the princess and they are already safe and sound after Mr. Qian's diagnosis...... It's that Gao Zhisheng, who looks like he's playing with his life, and now he's being tied up and waiting for you to deal with it in the council room! ”
"Haha, this is really hilarious, I'm just about to look for him!" The king laughed and walked back to the council chamber.
