"That's right, half of the wine in the wine jar at home is missing, but I didn't pay attention to the sharp knife when it wasn't there." Ding Yigui turned over Ding Dasha's corpse, and did not find that Ding Dasha had a pig-killing knife in his hand, "Captain Zhou, could it be that my brother killed himself by himself?" ”

"Quite possibly." Zhou Xiaoyi carefully recounted the situation when she was chased and killed by Ding Dasha, "At that time, he fell into the ditch, and when I saw that he didn't move, I left there and went home for dinner." ”

"Who testifies to you that you didn't kill my brother?" Ding Yigui rolled up his sleeves and his fists rattled.

"Dasha chased me with a pig-killing knife, this is an obvious thing, and no one needs to testify. Besides, Dasha is a stupid one, I want to kill him, just a blink of an eye. Why bother to lead him to the edge of the ditch? Zhou Xiaoyi defended herself.

"Although my stupid brother is stupid, he is also a human life, and now that he is dead, you have to pay the funeral expenses." Ding Yigui suddenly grabbed Zhou Xiaoyi's shirt and shouted, "Stinky girl, you have to go to the county government with me." ”

"Let go of your hand!" Gong Chang stepped forward, knocked Ding Yigui away with a punch, and pulled Zhou Xiaoyi to his side to protect him.

"General, you go on your side, this matter has nothing to do with you." Ding Yigui shouted, and continued to stretch out his hand to grab Zhou Xiaoyi.

"I've already said it, Dasha he fell to his death, I don't believe everyone go to the ditch to take a look, the pig killing knife should still be there." Zhou Xiaoyi pointed to the ditch with her finger and said.

"We don't see any pig-killing knives. Originally, Dasha was brought here to ask you to help catch the murderer, but I didn't expect you to admit that you had been to our house without confessing to yourself...... Stinky, did you seduce my stupid big brother? Ding Yigui asked.

"Ding Yigui, don't spew blood. Ding Dasha's drooling appearance can also enter my eyes? Zhou Xiaoyi spat on the ground.

"Stinky, don't pretend, what kind of goods are you, don't think we don't know." A thin man said with a smile, "You can look at the fifty-year-old Langzhong, and the hungry ones are still with him......"

"You-" Zhou Xiaoyi's face flushed with anger, "Ding Yigui, if you want silver, just say it, don't beat around the bush." ”

"You're smart." Ding Yigui laughed, "But I don't need much, you solved a burden for me, I have to thank you...... Well, give us 500 taels of silver, and we will leave here with the corpse at once. ”

"Five hundred is five hundred, I'll give it." Gong Changyu took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and threw them in Ding Yigui's arms, "Get out!" ”

Ding Yigui took the silver ticket and took a closer look, and was surprised: "Can the silver ticket of this Maosheng Xiang Qian Village be exchanged for silver in Nanyue?" ”

"Absolutely." Gong Changyu responded, "You can take a boat to Nanhai County to exchange for silver now, remember that the silver ticket must be exchanged within the specified time." ”

"Thank you, General. Brothers, let's go. Ding Yigui waved his hand, and the fishermen lifted the rack containing Ding Dasha's bones and left Zhou Xiaoyi's yard in a leisurely manner.

After the fishermen left, Zhou Xiaoyi held Gong Changyu's arm: "Cousin, you are too generous." The soldiers of the imperial court died on the battlefield, and they were sent away for forty or fifty taels of silver, but you lost ten times the price of Ding Yi. You are so straightforward, how can you mix in the rivers and lakes in the future? If you are too honest, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the chivalrous and righteous people must also see when and what objects. ”

"I know that Ding Yigui is extortion, isn't it just five hundred taels of silver? It's okay to suffer a little loss, and stupid people have stupid blessings. Gong Changyu smiled and said, "Foodie lady, are we going to Taipa Island today?" ”

"Of course I want to go. After breakfast, I took a few fishermen with you. Zhou Xiaoyi put on a flower apron and was ready to make breakfast.

"No, I've hired a few boatmen, they should know the waterways to Taipa." Gong Changyu waved his hand and lit a fire by the stove, "I don't know how the performance of the warship of the Franc machine man is?" ”

"It's not clear. The most advanced warships are now ironclad warships powered by steam engines, and no longer use wooden-hulled hulls and sails. When we arrived at the dock on Taipa Island, we got on the battleship and took a closer look at it to see if the Franc Man's battleship was outdated. Zhou Xiaoyi took a kitchen knife and slashed at the fish bones on the cutting board.

"Foodie lady, what is a steam engine?" Gong Changyu asked.

At this time, the rice on the stove was opened, and Zhou Xiaoyi saw that the rice lid that was constantly steaming was washed away, and said with a smile: "It's probably driven by water vapor, I'm not familiar with the specific reason." ”

"It's incredible that a steam engine can propel a warship forward. Damn, why can't we build ironclad warships in Qinghe? Gong Changyu suddenly added firewood to the stove, and the fire was raging in an instant, and Tieding's rice soon had a burnt taste.

"Brother Changyu, burn the torch smaller, otherwise the rice will become charcoal!" The foodie lady hurriedly lifted the rice out of the stove, "Didn't you smell the rice burning?" ”

Gong Changyu's nose has been a little out of order recently, and it's normal that he can't smell more. He wiped the ashes from his face and smiled: "I didn't smell it......"

"You can't smell the food, you can see it with your eyes, you dead ghost." Zhou Xiaoyi scolded, "I really convinced you, I can't even cook." It's no wonder that your daughter-in-law doesn't spray you to death. ”

"In the barracks, General Ben entered the room, including my daughter-in-law. However, in the courtyard of the Zhu family, the horseshoe broth that my daughter-in-law cooked for me tasted good. My daughter-in-law doesn't need me to help her cook for her. Gong Changyu returned more than half of the firewood

"If you don't accumulate steps, how can you reach thousands of miles. Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and those who achieve great things start from small things bit by bit. Zhou Xiaoyi opened the lid, took chopsticks and made more than a dozen holes in the rice, and then put a large bowl of water on top of the rice, covered the lid, and put the rice back on the stove, "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" ”

"The eldest husband sweeps the world, and I am the eldest husband, there is a daughter-in-law and a servant at home, so I am too lazy to sweep the house!" Gong Changyu responded.

"Brother Changyu, why do you always like to raise a bar with me? When I say cleaning the house, I want you to start with small things, not to actually clean up the house and clean up. Zhou Xiaoyi set up the pot, poured a little lard, and when the oil in the pot caught fire, she quickly poured the shredded squid on it, stir-fried, and when it was almost cooked, sprinkled with chili powder, stir-fried, and after a while, a fragrant smell wafted out of the kitchen.

Zhou Xiaoyi's fried dishes were so fragrant, Gong Changyu swallowed his saliva, last night because he only cared about drinking, he didn't have a good experience of Zhou Xiaoyi's cooking skills, and he swallowed the shredded squid as soon as it came to his mouth.

"Ahh ”

Hehe, she also called Zhou Xiaoyi a foodie lady, in fact, Gong Changyu likes food more than her, and she eats wherever she goes.

"Yes. Have you tasted enough salt? Zhou Xiaoyi scooped out a few pieces of shredded squid from the pot and handed them to Gong Changyu.

Gong Changyu rubbed his hand on his clothes, and went to grab shredded squid, Zhou Xiaoyi glanced at him: "You are too unhygienic, your hands are dirty, go wash your hands, and then eat." After saying that, she put the shredded squid back in the pot and continued to stir-fry.

Zhou Xiaoyi was not allowed to eat shredded squid, there was no way, Gong Changyu had to go to the basin, soak his hands in water, smear some decontaminated soaphorn water, wash it carefully a few times, and his hands were not dry, so he couldn't wait to come to the edge of the stove: "Xiaoyi, my hands have been washed, can I eat it now?" ”

Seeing that Gong Changyu's hands were still dripping, Zhou Xiaoyi muttered again: "You see that your hands are dripping, and you don't know how to wipe them with a dry towel?" ”

"You're famous. I didn't wash my hands, I didn't say it was unhygienic, and I didn't dry my hands. I won't taste this dish, will it be okay? Gong Changyu returned to the front of the stove pond and went to the fire without saying a word.

When eating breakfast, Gong Changyu kept a straight face, only cared about the rice, and did not clip a piece of squid shreds. Zhou Xiaoyi asked, "Cousin, I don't eat squid either, what are you doing here?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm not used to eating ......," Gong Changyu responded.

"Hey, didn't you shout to taste it before it came out of the pot?" Zhou Xiaoyi scooped some with a spoon and put them in Gong Changyu's bowl.

"But I don't have an appetite now. If you want to eat alone, it's okay. Gong Changyu used chopsticks to clip all the shredded squid back into Zhou Xiaoyi's bowl. He was angry, Zhou Xiaoyi said that he didn't pay attention to personal hygiene, which really made him very unhappy......

After eating breakfast in a hurry, Gong Changyu did not say goodbye to Zhou Xiaoyi, left Baisha Island in a huff, took the members of the "Water Leopard Team", took a wooden boat, and went to Taipa Island under the guidance of several local boatmen.

On the way, the sailor told Gong Changyu that since the beginning of the Western Renaissance, the Franco-Rang machine has developed rapidly, crisscrossing the sea for hundreds of years, known as the new "coachman" on the sea, and has many vassal countries in Africa, America, and Asia. In the late Jingming Dynasty, under the pretext that the leather goods were soaked in seawater, the Franc machine people bribed local officials and asked to land on Taipa Island. Later, the Franc Robot cut a cowhide into thin strips on the island and enclosed it into a piece of land, seizing the right to live on Taipa Island for a long time......

Gong Changyu fell asleep when he heard it. After three hours of sailing, we finally arrived at the waters of Taipa Island.

The captain of the Franc warship was surprised when he saw that so many blue wolf country sailors had come, and they were also carrying rapid-fire artillery, and quickly ordered the crew to enter a state of combat readiness. Then a few kayaks were lowered on the warship and rowed quickly in the direction of Gong Chang meeting them.
