Chapter 24 The Prefect's Treat

"Come on, tie up this rebel and the bastard!" Chen Tang suddenly shouted, and several officials rushed into the lobby, but they saw that the one to be tied was the prefect's son, and the other was the prefect's uncle, they were all stunned, and they were not tied, and they were not tied.

"What are you waiting for, they murdered the prince, it is already a capital crime, quickly arrest it and hand it over to the prince for disposal!" Chen Tang yelled at the officials, but the officials didn't dare to slack off, and pulled out the rope to wipe their shoulders and tie the two of them together.

"Father..."

"Brother-in-law..."

"You think that I am the prefect, just outside the lawless, today I committed the great crime of exterminating the nine clans, it is already a disaster to my family, and I can't save you!" Chen Tang slapped them a few times, turned over and knelt down at Zhao Ta, "Lord Wang, the officials are incompetent, and they raised this rebel, and now they will be handed over to the prince to dispose of at will!" As he spoke, his head touched the ground with a bang, and he knocked his head a few times.

"Shhh Chen Tang's actions were beyond the expectations of a group of people from the palace, and he was at a loss, and Zhao Ta scolded in his heart. This old guy lost the car to protect the handsome, took retreat as advance, first took himself out of it, kowtowed to show his attitude, thinking that he would never kill people in public in the lobby, so he was left with room to maneuver, which was really wishful thinking.

"Lord Chen, what are you doing here, hurry up!" Zhao Ta hurriedly jumped down from the chair and stretched out his hand to help him up, Chen Tang really stood up, stepped aside and didn't look at the two people who were tied into zongzi, a picture of righteous annihilation, "Since Lord Chen handed them over to us, I asked Yang Jiaotou to come in here and torture him carefully, and I must ask why they are so bold, they dare to kill me, and rob me of my money!" Zhao Ta instructed Jianxi. Zhao Ta squinted at Chen Tang and looked at him, his face turned blue, and he said in his heart, don't blame Lao Tzu for playing tricks with you, I'll give you a fake show.

As soon as Chen Tang heard that the prince was going to be interrogated in court, he became nervous, and muttered in his heart, why didn't the prince come according to the 'rules', he didn't kill people too much, he admitted his mistakes in public, and he should let himself be dealt with 'impartially', and it was over when he came down to find two dead ghosts to blame in private, that is, he kept his official position and confessed, but now he is serious, and when the time comes, the two of them will be punished, and they will inevitably implicate themselves!

Looking at Wang Ye's angry face again, Chen Tang broke out in a cold sweat, and scolded himself for his mistakes, Wang Ye is a child, where do you know those rules, you have suffered a loss, you must get it back, how can it be good?

"Sect Leader Yang, the prince wants you to torture these two people, what good means do you have?" Seeing Xi asked, but muttered in his heart that the prince was using me as a shield again, and the big official wouldn't hit me after I went back.

"Don't worry, the little ones only need one move to keep them all move!" Yang Feng hugged his fists and said that he must seize the opportunity this time to please the prince.

"Oh, what's your idea?" Zhao Ta twisted his ass in the chair as if he was interested, and asked expectantly.

"The little one has learned a set of 'wrong muscles', which can make people's joints and tendons wrong, making people feel painful, and he will say whatever he asks when the time comes!" Yang Feng said with a hint of cruelty on his face.

"Well, this is going to be fun, so what are you waiting for, just try this Baozheng first, this kid is the most hateful, he actually led someone to break into our house to grab something!" Seeing Xi pointed at Zhang Yan and said, Zhang Yan heard that he was going to try his move, so he curled up tightly, but now that he was tied up strongly, where did he move half a point, he could only look at Chen Tang, hoping that his brother-in-law could pull him, but Chen Tang twisted his face to the side.

"Sect Leader Yang, I heard that the most cruel is to divide the muscles and bones, I'm afraid that the prisoner will bite his tongue and kill himself!" At this time, the head of the government came over and said to Yang Feng.

"Damn, doglegs, what kind reminder are you, it's clearly implying that Chen Tang bit his tongue and committed suicide!" Zhao Ta sneered in his heart.

"Then don't stop him!" Seeing that Zhang Yan was really ruthless enough, he opened his mouth to bite when he heard the words of the team leader, he knew that his brother-in-law was ready to sacrifice himself, if he died at this time, he could still save the wealth of his family, and he would suffer less guilt.

"Where is it so easy!" Yang Feng's hands were quick, and his hands pinched Zhang Yan's cheeks like lightning, making him unable to open his mouth, "Hmph, I want to die, I'll pull out all his teeth and see what he bites!" Yang Feng hated him for almost costing his wealth, so with a flick of his fingers, he knocked off one of his front teeth, and Zhang Yan only shivered in pain. ,

"Ahh A group of civil officials in the hall exclaimed, their faces were not very good-looking, but they were also frightened by Yang Feng's ruthless methods, and Chen Zi'an, who was standing on the side, would have collapsed on the ground if it weren't for the two officials who carried it hard.

"Ahem..." Chen Tang suddenly coughed a few times, and a small official suddenly came out and said to Zhao Ta with a smile: "Lord Wang, it's noon now, Lord Futai has already prepared a luncheon, let's ask again in the afternoon, they won't be able to run!" ”

"Oh! What do you have to eat here, you say, I'm really a little hungry! Zhao Ta touched his stomach and said.

"Lord Wang, today Lord Futai specially asked people to prepare a table of game, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, specially placed in the most famous Hongbin Building in Gongzhou, where the cooks are all from Beijing!" The little official tempted.

"Hmmm... Well, we have a lot of people, can you take care of the food? Zhao Ta said 'seriously'.

"Don't worry, the prince can take care of a meal!" Chen Tang hurried over and said, listening to his childish words, but secretly happy in his heart, the child is really a child, but he is so confused.

"Then eat first, and then ask them when they are full, and don't give them food!" Zhao Ta stood up and said, after he finished speaking, he seemed to hear the relieved voices of many people.

Under the leadership of the prefect, the group went straight to Hongbin Building, where in order to welcome the prince's car, they had already cleared the scene and chartered the entire restaurant. Zhao Ta got off the sedan chair, looked up and saw that the restaurant was three stories high, but it was also carved beams and painted buildings, and it still stood out in the state city, Zhao Ta couldn't help but sigh, no matter in the past life or in this life, one of the most magnificent places in China is the government, and the other is the restaurant, it seems that there are ancient times!

"Tell everyone, you don't have to pretend to be anything when you start eating, but you can make it hard, you can eat as much as you want, and you want good wine and good food!" Zhao Ta went upstairs and said to Jianxi who was supporting him.

"Lord Wang, this is not very good, it insults the face of our palace, right?" Seeing that Xi was confused, I didn't know what the prince was going to do.

"How much is the face worth, and you don't weigh it by the pound, tell it to go down!" Zhao Tan said with a low smile, seeing that Xi had no choice but to call a small yellow door to pass the word. Those who were able to sit with Zhao Ta except for the chief steward and Jianxi, everyone else stayed on the first floor, except for the four wrestlers, and they followed upstairs in order to protect the safety of the prince.

Zhao Ta sat on the main seat without concessions, with Jianxi and the chief steward on his left hand, and Confucius in the prefect Chen Tang and the government on his right, and several tasteful petty officials on the right. Everyone sat down, immediately opened the table, and served a few fruits and desserts first, which is very different from the order of modern dishes, to a bit of Western food.

"Four dishes of seasonal fruits, citrus, pomegranate, goose pear, ringo..."

"Four dishes of dried fruits, longan, hazelnuts, pine nuts, ginkgo..."

"Four incense herbs, licorice flowers, cinnabar balls, atractylodes ginseng, olive flowers..."

"Carved honey fried four plates, carved bamboo shoots, honey melon fish, papaya large section, carved kumquat..."

"Four dishes of preserved meat, meat lines, shrimp cured, meat cured, wine vinegar meat..." The young men who ran the hall came in streams, reporting the names of the dishes while putting all kinds of fruit snacks on the table like flowing water.

Jianxi first removed Zhao Ta's dishes with a clean handkerchief, then took a pair of special ivory chopsticks and white jade dishes from the hands of Xiao Huangmen behind him and replaced them, and then peeled a few hazelnuts and pine nuts for Zhao Ta with his own hands. Zhao Ta ate two pine nuts, drank a sip of tea soup, stopped moving his chopsticks, and said a few words to them, and then stopped.

"Governor Chen, these things you have prepared are not called delicacies of the mountains and seas, right?" Zhao Ta is young, can't drink alcohol, and is not interested in these things, seeing that the dishes below are not served, he frowned and said dissatisfied.

"The official is careless, snubbing the prince, the dishes in the back will be fine immediately!" Chen Tang said, instructing the guys waiting on the side to quickly change the dishes. With a shout, the runner removed all the fruits on the table and re-served the food.

"Sheep's tongue stick!" The first dish came up, and the one who ran the hall reported the name of the dish, "Second master, you try this!" "Seeing Xi, I first put one on the prince's plate.

Zhao Ta nodded, looked at this lamb tongue skewer looked a bit like a spring roll, set up a small bite, the first bite found that it was just a fried meat roll, but when I chewed it a second time, I found that it was wrong, this is not an ordinary meat roll, the outer layer of the wrap is made of shredded meat, and this shredded meat is a little different from what he had eaten before, not to mention the crispy and chewy head, the meat is delicate, I think this is the lamb tongue. As for the meat puree wrapped inside, chewing it gently, it was smooth and refreshing, and the most valuable thing was that it was full of umami, and the people at the table watched him move, looking forward to the prince's evaluation.

"Fish is added here, it's good, it's full of umami!" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"The prince is really an expert, he can eat the fish added to it, and the lower official has tasted it many times before he knows the doorway!" Chen Tang gave a thumbs up and said with a smile.
