Chapter 267: The Causes and Consequences of Cold Salad

The so-called cold salad living people who are good at retribution are really cold salad living people.

The two big men who were beaten half to death, stripped naked and only the bottoms to cover their shame, were stuffed into the largest clay jar in the grocery store on the street, and there were a lot of cold condiments: a few jars of old vinegar, a few jars of soy sauce, a few handfuls of green onions, a few catties of garlic, a few large bowls of coarse salt, plus rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, and ...... spittle from many visitors. Mix it yourself, mix it with each other, and mix it with your accomplices. As long as he didn't cooperate a little, a few horsewhips would immediately be whipped over. In order to ensure that the taste is fully "tasted", the accomplices who are mourning on the side have to be responsible for tasting ....... The most heartbreaking thing for this gang is that the clay jar of cold salad and the condiments are all bought with their own money!

The reason why there is a strange scene of cold salad in Chang'an East City, which is full of shops and the most lively, is very simple and vulgar: a group of scoundrels who eat idle food in East Market are eyeing the carriage of a foreign merchant who came to Chang'an to buy goods, and played an old-fashioned "porcelain touching" drama in his previous life. Unfortunately, it happened to be met by a prince who traveled in micro-clothes for "observing the people's feelings". What's even more unfortunate is that the Flying Tiger Hou, who has been idle and bored recently, happens to be there. King Kang came out to fight unevenly, Yang Zhi fanned the flames from the side, and a group of splashes were able to get away with saving their lives, and they were already the eight generations of their ancestors who had accumulated great virtue!

Originally, Yang Zhi went to Wei Mansion as usual in the morning, and saw that Wei Feiyang gradually accepted the reality and became more and more calm, but on this day, he seemed to be in a heavy mood and a little absent-minded. When I asked, I realized that Wei Su's health has become more and more exhausted recently, sometimes he doesn't go out of the room for a few days, or he doesn't say a word for a few days, or he doesn't eat a grain of rice all day. Just drink some tea every day. Eat a few bites of vegetable porridge once in a while.

Wei Su was already dead, and all Yang Zhi could do was do his best. Let Wei Su's life be like a bean lantern that may be extinguished at any time, and one more day in this world is a day. It was a hasty lunch in Weifu. So he went straight to the East Market. I just want to carefully select and buy a few medicinal materials and make them into medicinal food for Wei Su to take. met the five masters and servants of Zhao Dang, who was traveling in Weifu in Dongshi, and it was indeed an unintentional encounter.

At the right time, he had a lively time in the East Market, and after shopping for a long time, he bought a few medicinal herbs, and as soon as he stepped into the Hou Mansion with his front foot, Xu Wenhan came with his back foot.

Yang Zhi mocked: "Running around every day, are you tired? Your house is more deserted than the temples and Taoist temples in the mountains, so don't you feel bored? Anyway, you're alone, so you might as well move to my house. ”

Xu Wenhan smiled faintly: "I don't think there's anything wrong with being clear and quiet." But I'm not alone anytime soon. ”

Xu Wenhan is only twenty or eight years old, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is old-fashioned and detached. Full of talent, in a high position, not young, he can be called a diamond-level leftover man in this era. But not only has he not yet married a wife, but he does not even have a concubine who has a room. Some people even secretly wonder if this guy has a special hobby in some way? Or is there something wrong with the lower body?

And in Yang Zhi's view. Xu Wenhan is a good young man of school age with superior conditions in all aspects. Listening to the meaning of his words, he suddenly became interested: "Really? Who do you have a crush on? Tell me, which girl are you going to do? ”

Xu Wenhan also just sent away Wang Yunong, who was ordered to come to the door to talk to the matchmaker, and then came to Yang's mansion.

Wait for Xu Wenhan to explain the reason. Yang Zhi was immediately disinterested and silent. Under the glamorous appearance of the emperor's marriage and the prime minister's matchmaker, it is still a political transaction manipulated by the emperor's mind.

Retreat. "Freedom of marriage and love" is really an unattainable luxury in this era. In this regard, Xu Wenhan and Yang Zhi are not comparable. The eight-character scripture of "the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker". It has created the mainstream marriage model of marriage first and then love in this era.

Yang Zhi is glad that he has never heard of Xu Wenhan's favorite woman. Even if the emperor has an element of imposition. It's not hard to accept. Fortunately, in this year, outside the door of marriage, a magical window has also been opened: how? Wife, don't you like it? Then take a concubine! You can marry as many wives as you want!

After holding back for a long time, he asked directly: "Then will you marry?" ”

Xu Wenhan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Yang Zhi didn't say much. Immediately realized that Yang Zhi saw the joints very thoroughly. He smiled wryly, "Of course." After the famous Confucian, the scholarly family is upright and good-looking, why don't you marry? Seriously, there should be a woman in charge of my house. As long as I nod my head tomorrow, the emperor will immediately issue a decree to give marriage. According to the old man Wang, the emperor is afraid that I will be poor, and intends to let you handle it. Both of my parents died, and several of my uncles and relatives are still far away in Xinyang. You and I are like brothers, and it's best for you to do it. ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Wenhan say this. frowned and muttered, "Afraid that you will be poor? If the emperor is really afraid that you will be poor, won't it be over if he gives you more rewards? A dime a dime out of marriage, what a door! …… Is the emperor slandering me? Or do you want me to slander someone? ”

Xu Wenhan said with a smile: "The emperor has figured out your character of refusing to suffer, what is the difference between blackmailing you and blackmailing others?" By the way, I just heard on the road that today you played a good show with King Kang in Dongshi? ”

Yang Zhi knew very well in his heart that Xu Wenhan was scheming, and it would be good to be able to weigh the pros and cons and reluctantly accept this marriage, and he would never be satisfied. Knowing that he was tired and crooked in his heart, he didn't want to say more, so he was happy to divert the topic and make him laugh.

The cause and process of the farce in the East Market are not complicated, and the biggest highlight is the excellent creativity of the cold salad. The intellectual property of this genius idea is shared equally by Yang Zhi and Zhao Kang.

At that time, Yang Zhi was picking out medicinal materials in a medicine store, and the street was suddenly full of people, and the crowds in the street rushed to see the excitement, and Yang Zhi naturally became one of the many onlookers. is not only a man who came out, but also a prince with four wolf-like retinues, Yang Zhi originally just wanted to be a pure spectator, and he didn't plan to mix, let alone recognize Zhao Dang.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Dang's two entourages were beating up a group of splashers, a sharp-eyed entourage beside Zhao Dang recognized Yang Zhi in the crowd, and Zhao Dang took the initiative to come over and talk: "How can Brother Yang have the leisure to come here today?" The recklessness of the subordinate made Brother Yang smile. ”

Reckless? Even the blind man could see that Zhao Dang's face was righteous and awe-inspiring, like Bao Qingtian possessing his body, and he felt very good about himself.

Yang Zhi responded: "Wang ...... Childe's road is uneven. Draw your fists to help, and I admire it very much. ”

Zhao Dare pretended to be humble and said: "I am this ...... Prince Wang. He ought to do justice to the merchant. But what happens after that? How should it end? I also hope that Brother Yang will give advice. ”

How should it end? It's nothing more than a lesson to beat a group of people violently, slap their butts and leave. If you want to be a good person, do it to the end. A group of splashes turned around and took revenge on the merchants, forcing them to compensate for the losses, and then they could send the first two to the government.

Zhao Dare has commanded the army for many years, and it is impossible not to even think of this section. is obviously pretending to be stupid while pretending to be forced, and playing a careful eye that pulls Yang into the water. In case the emperor blames him for disregarding his identity and causing trouble in the future, he will have a little friend as a shield.

How could Yang Zhi be fooled? He laughed and said, "What else can I do?" Cold! ”

Zhao Dang was on the rise, and his mind couldn't turn around for a while, so he casually asked, "What is cold salad?" ”

Who wouldn't pretend to be stupid? As a skilled chef and former restaurant owner, such a simple question that borders on idiocy is naturally not a problem. And so. With an extremely serious and professional attitude, Yang Zhi introduced to Zhao Kang in detail the condiments and production process required for a cold salad.

Xu Wenhan was stunned and asked, "Later...... Did King Kang really do what you said? ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who said it wasn't? ”

Xu Wenhan suddenly burst into laughter, laughed breathlessly for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "It is said that King Kang has a calm and sophisticated temperament since he was a child, but it seems that this is not necessarily the case. In broad daylight, between the downtown streets, the two of you are both famous and big names in the eyes of the people, and your identities can't be concealed no matter what, and this matter is extremely interesting. The gimmick is full of gimmicks, and it will spread all over Chang'an in a few days. Third brother, you inadvertently did King Kang a great favor today! ”

Yang Zhi said disapprenously: "It's just to please the hearts of the people and fight for some fame, and it doesn't help him much." Even if I didn't happen to run into it. Zhao Dang will also rack his brains to come up with a similar limelight a few times. Calm and sophisticated does not mean boring, Zhao Dang can adapt to the situation and highlight the tricks, which shows that his talent is not bad. Brilliant mind. What's more, this matter is done smoothly and without gaps, what is it if it is not calm and sophisticated? ”

Xu Wenhan nodded and said, "That makes sense." It is not so much that King Kang is to please the hearts of the people and fight for his own fame. It's better to say that he is trying to please the emperor. I expect that a decree will be issued in the near future. ”

Yang Zhi said lazily: "Holy decree? What's the matter with me? He likes to give whatever he likes. ”

Li Zuo, the confidant of King Kang of Kang, and Ding Shiquan, the confidant of King Zhao Dang of Ning, are of the same age. Both are in their early forties. Ding Shiquan gives people the impression at first glance that he is chic and elegant, and he has a bit of the demeanor of a famous person. However, Li Zuo is five short in stature, with a fat head and big ears, and two whiskers, but he looks like a black-hearted landlord or profiteer.

Listening carefully to what Zhao Dang said, Li Zuo was also overjoyed, and his fat body trembled with laughter: "I didn't expect Yang Zhi to be such a wonderful person!" The prince doesn't need to worry too much, it's okay, it's okay! ”

Seeing Zhao Dang's unhappy face, he forced himself to smile and explained: "Today's incident is not only harmless, but also beneficial to the prince. Seeing that the road was uneven, the prince came forward to uphold justice, only punished for small things without hurting people's lives, and then sent them to the official to be brought to justice. Affection, reason, and law, taking into account all three, no one can find fault, how can you say it too much? ”

According to the following, Yang Zhi's appearance in Dongshi was just a coincidence, and there was no intention of interfering at that time. The so-called cold salad is by no means Yang Zhi's intention to help the prince come up with ideas, but a joke to deal with. The prince can see the strange change, but it is a stroke of genius! ”

Zhao Dang frowned and said: "This king is worried that those few splashes will not be beaten, and if they cause a fatality, it will be self-defeating." I can't talk about a stroke of genius, it's just a whim to push the boat along the river. ”

"At the suggestion of Mr. Ben Wang, he walked the streets and alleys every day under the sign of observing the people's feelings, looking for opportunities to do things like today, in order to show his father his intentions. Is today's event too child's play? I don't know what my father will think. ”

Li Zuo said with a determined expression: "The prince can rest assured, the emperor is the hero of the world, and while he is smiling, he will only pay more attention to the prince." Not to mention that the prince has been recalled to Beijing, even if he is far away in Youzhou or Xiangyang, it may be difficult for the prince and King Ning to hide from the emperor's eyes and ears. ”

"The emperor's thoughts on the prince and King Ning should be insightful. The reason why the decree has not been issued for a long time is to sympathize with the hard work of the two princes, and to let the two princes have a good life and recuperate for some time, and the second is to take this opportunity to observe the hearts of the two princes. The prince's generous and careful response is a good thing. ”

Yang Zhi had a very happy conversation with the prince when the incident happened, and many people watching the scene may not know the true face of the prince, and I believe that there must be many people who recognize Yang Zhi. And this matter was done by the prince, and it was very novel and interesting, and there would naturally be good people in the market to find out the identity of the prince. In this way, will the prince's reputation be annihilated? Does the prince know that how many people desperately want the people's heart and fame but can't get it? Because of today's events, the process of the emperor's study of the hearts of the two princes will be accelerated, and the prince's wish to serve as the governor of Chang'an Mansion will be fulfilled in the near future! ”

Zhao Dang sighed and waved his hand lightly: "In Beppu in the west of this king's city, a group of blonde and blue-eyed orchids have recently arrived. When the gentleman is free, go pick two eye-catching ones yourself! (To be continued......)
