Yangcheng Lake is indeed a good place, hairy crabs are everywhere, Hu Ye took Ruan An to the lake, and you can see hairy crabs running all over the ground.

The main thing is that at this time, people don't realize that this thing will be a delicacy, and the main thing is that the seasoning can't keep up now, and they can't make any food.

There are not many people prey, the crabs here grow very big, and they are not afraid of people, Hu Ye jumped off the horse, and some crabs opened their teeth and claws at Hu Ye, all of them were extremely arrogant, so that Hu Ye experienced what it means to be rampant and domineering.

"Grandpa Ruan, the hairy crabs here are good, please have a big meal at noon today!"

Hu Ye picked up one of the most brutal crabs and said to Ruan An.

Ruan An looked at the crabs in Hu Ye's hands, they were almost bigger than Hu Ye's hands, not to mention a catty.

"Is this thing really as delicious as you say?"

Ruan An looked at the big crab carefully, and couldn't imagine what this thing tasted like.

"Haha, people often say that the first person to eat crabs is a warrior, why not be a warrior when Grandpa Ruan is a warrior?" Hu Ye said with a laugh.

Obviously, Ruan An is not the first person to eat crabs, but for those who dare to take the first step, they can be called warriors.

For example, a soldier who followed up was caught by a big crab, so he swung his knife and cut the crab in half, and was kicked into Yangcheng Lake by Commander Wei.

"Grandpa Ruan, let them catch more crabs and go back, this is lunch at noon, it can be regarded as a reward for them, they really need to rest after a night of running for me."

Hu Ye looked at the hairy crabs crawling everywhere and said, he has seen it, there are still a large number of hairy crabs in the water of Yangcheng Lake, and he is not afraid that these people will be able to eat them all, on the contrary, maybe they will eat them. Or decompress Yangcheng Lake.

So a group of soldiers began to join the team to catch hairy crabs, and they were very happy.

By the time they returned to Suzhou City, it was already three poles in the morning, and it was time to make lunch.

But the hairy crabs can't just live and eat, they have to spit out the mud in their stomachs first.

It's easy to do, throw all the crabs you catch into a big hill, and then sprinkle a few packets of salt and let them spit out the mud slowly.

At this time, let the people in the room start cooking, and prepare all the ingredients that will be used for a while, in fact, there are no good seasonings this year. In addition to ginger is garlic, there is also some pepper.

The man in the room saw the big vat of crabs, his heart was furious, he had heard of others eating crabs before, but he was still a little stunned to see so many crabs foaming at the mouth together.

"Change the water for them one time, then put salt again, and call me again when the time comes."

After Hu Ye glanced at the crabs in the vat, he said to the man in the room.

The guy glanced at Hu Ye curiously. He's been cooking all his life, and he's never seen anyone make crabs.

But that's right, I heard that this time the whole army of Suzhou City was dispatched just to find this little doll.

Someone who can make the emperor take a fancy to him. There must be something special about it, and maybe this weird taste is an important point.

When Hu Ye came out, many troops had already been deployed, Hu Ye asked. I realized that those people were all transferred from the nearby county, and now that they have found it, it is time for them to return to the station. Otherwise, it would be bad if there was some kind of chaos in the local area.

Hu Ye still nodded, and praised the speed of the army movement, yesterday he only arrived in the sky over Suzhou City in the afternoon, and the nearby garrisons had already assembled in Suzhou City at night, this speed can only be said to be very slow in the 21st century, but in the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as a god speed.

Of course, this is also thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongling urgency, that thing is sometimes more effective than the holy decree.

"By the way, boy, let me introduce you, this is Yin Sunhai, the governor of Suzhou Mansion, and this is Wang Ting, the commander of Zhenhaiwei."

Seeing Hu Ye walk out, Ruan An introduced Hu Ye and the Wei Commander to Hu Ye, but as for the county order of Wu County and the hundred households, they selectively ignored it.

"Mr. Hu is polite."

Sun Hai and Wang Ting both gave Hu Ye their hands, although their official positions are not small, and Hu Ye has no official position, but they don't dare to put on an official stand in front of Hu Ye, look at Ruan An's attitude towards Hu Ye, and then think about it, for Hu Ye Zhu Yuanzhang can send Hongling to rush over, this person can't be offended.

"Is it the eight-ox crossbow that your men put down?" Hu Ye looked at the bearded Wang Ting, the garrison of Suzhou City must have been commanded by him, and it was this thing that almost killed him.

"Hu Gongzi is angry, it is because I am not strict in discipline that I let my subordinates make such a mess. Hu Gongzi, don't worry, I will definitely deal with that group of subordinates well. ”

Wang Ting said very seriously, this uncle can't be offended, he can only let his subordinates suffer.

"Forget it, the defenders of the city should be so decisive, anyway, I don't have anything to do, and I don't bother to blame them."

Hu Ye sat down, and said that he had to thank the person who released the arrow, otherwise where would he have the opportunity to find a character like the widow Shuang.

"By the way, how did Hu Gongzi come from the sky, and what is that thing flying in the sky?"

Wang Ting saw that Hu Ye was easy to speak, so he had the courage to ask.

Hu Ye didn't speak, Ruan An stared at Wang Ting coldly, and Wang Ting was so frightened that he quickly shut up, he also knew that he had asked something that he shouldn't have asked, it seemed that these two masters were using a new type of weapon.

"By the way, Grandpa Ruan, have you collected all the wreckage of the hot air balloon?" Hu Ye asked suddenly.

"Don't worry, it's all recovered, how can the secrets of the empire be known to outsiders."

Ruan An glanced at Wang Ting and said coldly.

Wang Ting knew that Ruan An was telling him, he was just curious and wanted to ask.

"By the way, Sun Fuyin, I have something I want to ask you about." Hu Ye suddenly turned to Sun Hai and said.

"Hu Gongzi has something to say, this official knows everything."

"Is there a place called Splendid Villa in Suzhou Mansion?"

Hu Ye asked loudly, this is also the thing he wanted to find out when he was blown to Suzhou this time, because he learned from the mouths of the four assassins that the reward order for himself was issued from the Splendid Villa.

This time he happened to be blown to Suzhou, so he naturally wanted to figure out the ins and outs of this matter, after all, he didn't offend anyone, how could he provoke someone to issue a reward order.

"Splendid Villa?"

When Sun Hai heard this, he recalled what Wang Ting had told him on the way back before, and now he was even more convinced that Hu Ye was the one who was rewarded.

"What? Isn't it? Hu Ye asked curiously.

"There used to be, but now there isn't."

"What's going on? When did it happen? ”

"About a month ago, we received an order from the emperor to eliminate the forces in the rivers and lakes that did not obey the imperial court. As the largest force in Suzhou City, the Splendid Villa is a settlement of all kinds of hooligans and ruffians, not to mention hundreds of people. The Wei commander dispatched 2,000 armor soldiers to encircle and suppress, and only then did he take the Splendid Villa, and now the Splendid Villa has been removed from Suzhou City. Sun Hai explained to Hu Ye.

"Is this the end of it?"

Hu Ye muttered to himself, he said why has it been so quiet in Nanjing for the past two months, it turns out that this splendid villa is gone, and it will not be possible to cash the bounty, who is still going to find trouble with Hu Ye, that is asking for trouble.

"Did you find any suspicious characters related to a bounty order?" Hu Ye asked loudly, he didn't care where the reward order was issued, he only cared about the person who issued the reward order, and wanted to know what kind of grievances he had with him.

"The bounty order found a lot, but the battle was unprecedented, and no suspicious people could be found at all, because anyone who resisted would be executed on the spot. As a result, the thieves of the splendid villa were heroic, and they were all killed in battle, and my troops also suffered heavy losses. Only a few dozen women and children survived in the last Splendid Villa, and the women were all used as official prostitutes, and the children were distributed to the state capitals. Wang Ting replied.

"Is the clue broken again?"

Hu Ye stood up, it seemed that his trip to Suzhou had been in vain again, and the person behind the scenes couldn't be found at all.

"Forget it, if it's broken, it's broken, maybe the person who issued the bounty order has already died in that battle. Let's go cook crabs. Hu Ye said and walked towards the room.

"Father-in-law Ruan, when the emperor ordered the suppression of the forces in the rivers and lakes, was it also because of ......" Wang Ting looked at the back of Hu Ye leaving, and couldn't help but guess.

"When Hu Ye was arrested in Nanjing City, it was a provocation to the imperial power. In addition, it was when the emperor was angry at that time, and the actions of the people in the rivers and lakes naturally annoyed the emperor, thinking that these people should be repaired, so there was that holy decree, as for that kid, there must be a little bit of a relationship. ”

"I see, I didn't expect this Hu Gongzi to have such an experience, I didn't expect that he would be so mature at a young age." Thinking of Hu Ye's anger at being shot down just now, as well as the subsequent tolerance, Wang Ting sighed for a while.

If it were an ordinary child, I am afraid that his group of subordinates might not even be able to save their lives, let alone be praised.

"Remember, don't publicize our visit to Suzhou City this time, let alone how we came, as for the hot air balloon flying in the sky, if you hear a word in Nanjing, you know the consequences."

Ruan An felt that he had said enough, if it weren't for Sun Hai's sake of serving him tea and pouring water back then, it would be difficult for him to say so much.

"Thank you for the teachings of Gong Ruan, the lower officials must remember."

Although Sun Hai Wangting didn't know what a hot air balloon was, after all, they only saw a person falling under a balloon, but they didn't see a bamboo basket and an oil storage tank, and they didn't know what the military use of a hot air balloon was.

But they could hear from Ruan An's tone that the empire attached great importance to this thing, and if they dared to chew their tongues, the black gauze hat would definitely not be able to keep it. (To be continued......)
