Chapter 362: Honey Roasted Pork
Zhuang Rou stared at the merchant ship for a long time, and saw that it really didn't move, so it was not something to guess in his heart.
She thought that the merchant ship, which could always be seen, was disguised by the people who came to capture her, and that the fisherwoman was the person sent by the Qi King to kill her. Now it seems that this merchant ship has nothing to do with the fisherwoman.
When Zhuang Rou rescued people before, the fisherwoman's behavior when she saw her, and the tendon meat she touched when she hung the pig's urine bubble later, made her vigilant.
Although Zhuang Rou couldn't tell if the fisherwoman had internal strength, there was no problem at all with this tendon and flesh alone, directly throwing over the guards and jumping into the river to escape.
But she looked weak and was dragged onto the boat. Coupled with her performance when she saw herself, Zhuang Rou was more sure that this fishergirl knew herself, even if she had never met, she knew how to dress up.
If the killer finds himself on King An's ship, he will lure the killer and harm King An and them.
But Zhuang Rou heard with her own ears that King An's family had a bad character, and her son didn't care if he robbed the people and girls under his eyelids. can also give his own woman to his son to enjoy, it is simply an eternal anecdote, disgusting.
For such a family, there is no pity to die, so she is relieved to let the fisherwoman go.
Especially on the boat just now, Zhuang Rou also heard a lot of things, whether it was King An's family, or when the maid who cleaned up later chatted, they all said a lot of bad things about King An's mansion because of the fisherwoman.
That Zhou Ping was not a thing, he was embarrassed with King Qi, and the relationship between the two was good, and King An and the Queen Mother had a good relationship, and they did all kinds of evil.
Listening to the tone of those maids, it seems that Zhou Ping has committed human lives, but it is inconvenient for her to arrest people for trial now.
She has been working for almost a year now, of course she knows that these people are in high positions and power, and it is impossible to arrest them and ask them for the crime. The best thing to do is to borrow someone else's hand and punish them directly.
Originally, Zhuang Rou could do it herself, but she still had to go back to Hongzhou and kill King An's family, and she had to get involved in a matter of ass, so it would be better to let the person who assassinated her do it.
When the time comes, you can blame the Queen Mother and the Chen family, it will simply kill two birds with one stone, and there is nothing more perfect than this.
Zhuang Rou was almost torn apart last time, and Feng Jingshui said that he felt that he had no martial arts, only a thick skin. It's okay to bully defenseless wicked people, but when you meet people with strong martial arts, you still have to use your brains.
Borrowing a knife to kill people, and you can get rid of violence and peace, and you can still put it aside, it's not too bad.
This merchant ship did not belong to the fisherwoman's gang, so she must have to call someone to get here. Zhuang Rou thought about it and decided to find something to eat first, and slowly waited for her to come.
This kind of robbery is generally chosen in the early hours of the morning, when everyone has already fallen asleep, and it is best when the vigil is sleepy.
She counted that the hour was still early, so she climbed down the stairs and crept into the galley. The cooks had already packed up and gone to sleep, and there were no half of them inside, and the firewood in the stove had been burned out, but there was still a slight residual temperature.
Everything that can be eaten is cold, and when the big fish and meat are hot, they are delicious, and it is not easy to eat when it is cold.
After turning over for a long time, except for some marinated food, Zhuang Rou couldn't find anything to eat. Just as I was thinking about whether to make a hot soup and eat it, a surprised voice suddenly came from the kitchen door, "Who are you?" ”
She was grabbing a handful of melon seeds and eating them, and when she heard the sound, she turned back calmly, only to see a forty-year-old cook with an apron standing at the door.
Chef Liu was also a little surprised, looking at this girl's dress, she didn't look like an ordinary person, she knew everyone in Anwangfu, but she had never seen someone who wore such good materials, but she was dressed a little weird.
"Shh Zhuang Rou put her hand to her mouth and sighed, and said calmly, "I am the secret guard sent to King An in the palace, and no one else knows about my existence." ”
"Dark Guard!" As a cook in King An's Mansion for more than ten years, Chef Liu has naturally heard of the spread of the secret guard, and I heard that it is dedicated to protecting the golden nobles of the emperor's mother.
But the people in the house talked about King An and said that King An was old, so there were no secret guards, I didn't expect there to be all the time, but no one knew about it.
Zhuang Rou sat by the window, where she could see the river, which made it easier for her to stare outside. She looked outside and smiled at Chef Liu, "I was sick before, and I was too anxious to prepare when I set off, so I didn't bring anything to eat." ”
"Lord Darkguard, this is hungry, haven't you eaten for a day?" Chef Liu understood as soon as she heard it, this secret guard didn't bring anything to eat, and she couldn't help but come out of the kitchen to find something to eat.
"Yes, I was hungry for three or four days, but I could hold it up with some water. It's just that I was sick before, and my physical strength is a little exhausted, and the food you cook is so fragrant, I can't help it. Zhuang Rou laughed and said heartily.
Chef Liu didn't expect the legendary secret guard to be a girl, and she was so approachable, so she immediately rolled up her cuffs and said, "Lord Secret Guard is waiting, I'll make a fire and give you a hot meal." ”
Zhuang Rou smiled: "Then thank you." ”
"It's just a trivial matter, Lord Secret Guard is also for business, how can he be hungry." Chef Liu began to make a hot meal with her hands and feet, and enthusiastically found a lot of delicious dishes for Zhuang Rou.
Looking at her enthusiasm, Zhuang Rou was silent for a long time and then suddenly said, "Actually, I let go of that fisherwoman." ”
Chef Liu was putting a large bowl full of vegetables in the boiling water, and when she heard this, she turned around and was stunned, and then let out a long sigh, "Lord Dark Guard is also a kind-hearted person. ”
"I'm not happy in this job, Zhou Ping always does something to bully men and women, if I wasn't his secret guard, I might have been able to cut off his head a long time ago." Zhuang Rou said.
"That's unacceptable!" Chef Liu was suddenly anxious, quickly looked left and right, and when she found that there was no one, she advised, "Lord Secret Guard is a person with an identity, and he has a great future in the future, so he can't spoil himself." ”
Zhuang Rou smiled and didn't say anything more, there are also many kind-hearted ordinary people in King An's Mansion.
After a while, the food was hot, and Chef Liu came over with a bowl of rice, and the pieces of meat were trembling and trembling on the tip of the bowl, and there was a large bowl.
Zhuang Rou took the bowl and ate it, only to find that the chef of King An's Mansion had good skills, such a large piece of meat could be fat but not greasy, and the taste was really good.
She hadn't eaten much for a day, so she quickly ate it. It was rare for Chef Liu to see a rich person eating so wildly, and she was still a girl, so she smiled and said, "My lord, you eat slowly." This is a honey-roasted pork made by the villain. When it's cold, you still have to eat more meat, which is cold-tolerant. ”
"Your craftsmanship is so good, if you go out and open a shop, you will become a rich man in a few years." Zhuang Rou said while eating.
Chef Liu smiled bitterly, and said with some loss: "I don't want to open a shop, but my daughter was kicked out of the house by the princess because she made a mistake a few years ago and sold to a lame man as his wife." Although the man was also honest and didn't beat or scold, the family had a very hard time. ”
"I wrote to me not long ago, and I was about to give birth to a baby, and I couldn't open the pot. I also wanted to find a reason to take a leave of absence from the housekeeper and take a look quietly, but I didn't expect to be called on the boat temporarily. This time I went back, I'm afraid I'm all raw, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink a sip of rice soup. ”
Zhuang Rou asked thoughtfully, "What mistake did you make and you were kicked out?" ”
Zhou Ping doesn't just like older women, she thinks it shouldn't be possible to be driven away by wanting to climb out of bed.
Chef Liu said helplessly: "She was a maid ring in the courtyard of King Baojun, because her father had taught her a few words before he died, so she went to manage the study." One day, when I was sorting out the bookcase, I put a copy of "The Theory of the World" on the desk and forgot to put it away. ”
"Somehow, I was called by the princess. said that she intended to let King Baojun learn badly, and sold it for ten boards. ”
Zhuang Rou looked at a loss after hearing this, she knew that she had seen the book "Theory of the World" in her brother's study, and she had also seen the things inside.
Obviously, it is just a book that talks about the principles of the world and allows people to learn well, and because it is simple and easy to understand, it is easy to understand the content inside.
She thought about it and suddenly understood, she dared to love the princess in this life, she wanted to raise this little uncle, and she didn't even let him read this "Theory of the World".
No wonder he was so lawless, no, maybe Zhou Ping was born so bad, even if he showed it, it would be useless.
It is not easy for a cook in King An's Mansion to talk about her family so enthusiastically in the face of strangers.
Zhuang Rou put the empty bowl on the table, looked at Chef Liu and said, "Say, what do you want me to ask me to help with?" ”
"My lord, the little man wants nothing but to leave the house to take care of my poor daughter. Now there are so many victims in Hongzhou, her in-laws have passed away, and now there is no one who can help, and she is penniless. The lame son-in-law went to the soup kitchen to beg for a bowl of porridge, fearing that half of it would be scattered when he got home. ”
Chef Liu knelt down, she had already handed a lot of silver to the steward or the eldest girl ring next to the princess.
Most of the money accumulated over the years has been used, but there is no movement at all, not even a message. At that time, her daughter was sold in a hurry, and she didn't bring anything, she couldn't go out if she wanted to hand over some silver, and the housekeeper kept an eye on it.
Although she was sold into slavery, she still hoped to be able to redeem herself, and now the money in hand was even more hopeless to spend on it.
Zhuang Rou's approachable attitude was different from the high-ranking nobles that Chef Liu had seen, which made her think. The dark guards are directly facing King An or King Baojun, and they may be much more reliable than those in charge.
"Okay, I'll help you sell your deed." Zhuang Rou agreed, if she went to help her daughter, she would be the people of Hongzhou from now on.
If the honey-roasted pork is sold, it is an extra tax, which is a good person who has a little skill and saves silver, and the more he comes, the better.
As for the victims......
Zhuang Rou had a headache, forget it, let's talk about it when we get to Hongzhou, maybe the disaster relief of Xiaojunwang is very good.
With her verbal promise, Chef Liu thanked her and planned to heat a few more pieces of honey-roasted pork for Zhuang Rou to eat.
"Hey, you hide in the kitchen and don't come out, there might be bad guys." At that moment, Zhuang Rou said suddenly, and the person jumped out of the kitchen.
Chef Liu was stunned, and quickly ran to the window to look out, although the river was dark but very calm, there was no movement at all.
She patted her chest, she was a secret guard, and she was a cook, where could she see it. But she stayed in the kitchen, huddled in the corner just in case, and had a bamboo basket on her body.
