Chapter 177: Something Happened
It was dark and the light was not good, and Ah Xiu didn't see clearly what was rolling in the dark. Seeing Chen Sheng's excited face, she was secretly surprised in her heart, thinking that it was some kind of treasure. Squatted down and picked up one, carefully identified it, and couldn't help frowning.
"What is this?" Ah Xiu has not seen the appearance of potatoes. But she could tell at a glance that it was the fruit of some kind of plant. I can't help but feel a little disappointed. And she was puzzled. A dignified county guard of the Great Qin Empire was so excited for a little food. I don't know if this guy has something wrong with his brain.
"It's a potato! Potatoes! Chen Sheng gasped, the excitement on his face was still there.
Seeing Chen Sheng like this, Ah Xiu hurriedly moved back, and already decided that the county guard of Minzhong County was a little abnormal. She had never heard of the names potatoes and potatoes, but in order to deal with Chen Sheng, she still asked, "Can you eat it?" ”
"Why can't you eat it!" Chen Sheng was excited, but suddenly remembered that potatoes could not be found anywhere in the Central Plains, and Ah Xiu was ignorant. "The yield of one acre of potatoes is almost more than 1,000 catties! If the management and fertilization are done properly, the yield of one mu of potatoes can even reach thirty-four thousand catties, you say this is not a baby? With it, how many people can be fed! Chen Sheng waved his right hand excitedly. Seeing this scene, Ah Xiuxin raised her eyebrows. Seeing that the blood from Chen Sheng's injured shoulder was spilling out again, she took a breath of cold air and hurriedly said, "Don't wave your hand, the wound is open again!" ”
"Ouch......" After being reminded, Chen Sheng felt the pain in his shoulder. He bared his teeth and said, "Ah Xiu, take me some more gold creation medicine, and I'll bake a potato for you to eat later." You know, this thing, here, the emperor didn't have a mouth to eat. ”
Ah Xiu shook his head, looked at the potatoes on the ground, and said, "The emperor is also rare like this?" ”
Chen Sheng: "......"
Chen Sheng found that confiding in Ah Xiu about his excitement did not achieve any effect. It is inevitable that there will be some loss in my heart. But think about it. Ah Xiu didn't even know a word. Who knows what kind of changes this crop will bring to the society of this era?
Ah Xiu also felt that Chen Shengyou was a little incredible. In her capacity, she has come into contact with many aristocratic tycoons who have entrusted them to organize assassinations, and these high-ranking nobles have always only cared about rare treasures and money power. How can anyone be like Chen Sheng, holding a few coarse grains called "potatoes" or "potatoes" as treasures. However, although Ah Xiu is illiterate, he also understands that the reason why Chen Sheng is excited to be like this is because the potato has a high yield and can feed many people. From this point of view, Chen Sheng can be regarded as a good official.
However, if Chen Sheng was really a good official, why would anyone want to bribe the Assassin and kill him? Judging by the tasks previously taken. All the officials who made their list. Basically, they are corrupt officials who do all kinds of evil and have many enemies.
Maybe he was deceived by Chen Sheng's hypocritical face? Ah Xiu thought to himself. However, she also said that she would not assassinate Chen Sheng again, and would not treat Chen Sheng as an enemy. No matter how bad Chen Sheng is, as long as he doesn't hit her with the idea, that's fine.
The baked potatoes do taste good. However, Chen Sheng was also very stingy, baked a potato, and divided it between two people. After Ah Xiu tried it, he aroused his greed and wanted to simmer another potato to eat, but Chen Sheng refused to live or die, he hugged the remaining few potatoes, and said with a heart: "These are all left as seeds, if you want to eat it, I will send you three or five thousand catties a year without any problem, but now you can only try it!" ”
Fortunately, Chen Sheng also prepared other food and buried a few sea fish under the bonfire. That's what makes the two of them hungry.
After eating and drinking, Chen Sheng did not rest. Instead, he fell into deep thought. When he found the potato, he was so excited that he didn't even think about how it could be on this small island. It's definitely impossible to germinate on your own. Just by looking at that piece of land, you know that it has been cleared by people. In other words, these potatoes are planted. It's just that who is so awesome that can cross the Pacific Ocean and bring this kind of seed back to that hot land on the other side of the ocean. The most peculiar thing is that since this kind of seed has been brought back here, why hasn't it been promoted on the shore?
With endless questions, Chen Sheng couldn't sleep. He decided that after dawn, he would have to go back to the place where the potatoes had been found, and look carefully to see if he could find any clues.
Compared to Chen Sheng, Ah Xiu is an idiot in this regard. Don't think about how Chen Sheng could recognize this strange plant as edible and its name. If he asked, it was estimated that Chen Sheng would have to think of a reasonable explanation.
But it's better to have a brain than a headache.
Li Zuoche kept crying with a sad face. Not only him, but Ying Huo and Han Dongqing's faces were extremely ugly, gloomy, and looked like someone was going to be unlucky.
After several killers were dealt with by Xu Wugui and Fan Yuan, everyone stopped paying attention to the chaotic people who were fighting and hurried to find Chen Sheng. The Yue people who fought also received the message of their masters, and after they died down, they left dozens of corpses behind, and ended this group fight. By the time the dragon arrived, the matter had come to an end and had no effect.
However, he was told that the warden had been assassinated and disappeared during a fight with the killer.
Qi Long's brain was "buzzing" at that time, and he roared, and he didn't care about leading people to capture those Yue people who gathered to make trouble, but took his military horses to search for Chen Sheng's whereabouts. When such an incident happened, Qian Long immediately sent someone back to report Han Dongqing and Ying Huo. When both of them heard the news, they were extremely angry. Both of them are veterans of political struggle, so they naturally know what is involved in this matter. Political struggles can play tricks, but someone dares to use such indiscriminate means to murder the life of a county guard!
The county guard can be killed, so what are the county officials, county supervisors, and county lieutenants? This matter is clearly related to the county supervisor Li Shen. But Li Shen's identity is special, and there is no direct evidence, so Ying Huo and Han Dongqing dare not treat it presumptuously. But the treatment of Wu Zhu and Su Shao is different. Ying Huo immediately issued an order, and three thousand military horses surrounded the mansion of the two of them. This is not to say that there is a sentence that confirms that they are murderers, but that there was a riot in the winter night, and in order to protect the safety of the two kings, heavy troops were sent to guard the mansion. This is a claim to the outside world, but both Su Wuzhu and Su Shao understand that something big has happened!
