Chapter 97 Cutting the grass but not eradicating the roots
Feng Jinyi let people kill a sheep, after cleaning it, Zuo Tingxue used a small dagger to skillfully cut the belly cavity of the sheep and the inside of the leg of the lamb, and the skillful technique made the people around him couldn't help but take a closer look at her, she concentrated on cutting a few holes in the thick place of the mutton, and then stuffed in some condiments.
Stuff the lamb belly with green onions, ginger slices, peppercorns, ingredients and minced cumin, let the whole body of the mutton be rubbed with refined salt to absorb the flavor, and the knife edge is flavored with seasoning and salt.
The sheep were passed through with a thin, pointed stick, and then set up on a wooden frame that had been erected, and a fire was started.
It was almost dusk when he was done, so Zuo Tingxue applied a layer of the prepared paint with a clean small brush on the door, and then slowly roasted it like this, and then applied another layer of paint after a while.
Although the weather was not very hot, Zuo Tingxue's forehead was already full of sweat, Feng Jinyi stepped forward and helped her dry it with a handkerchief.
In her previous life, since she went to the Prince's Mansion, she no longer went into the kitchen, but just let the maids do it, at most she stood aside and commanded.
Now like this, she feels like she is back in the past, dusk, dead trees, family, vividly.
When it was almost baked, Zuo Tingxue cut off a small piece with a dagger, tasted it, and the taste was just right.
She had the roasted sheep taken down, and then the meat was cut in half, and the other half was finely divided into many small pieces.
Feng Jinyi was already drooling when he saw it, he picked up a piece with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and the delicious taste in his mouth went straight to the sky, so he couldn't help but nod all the time.
The aroma of roasted whole sheep overflowed, everyone picked up a piece, and as soon as they entered the mouth, their taste buds were conquered by this delicious taste, and they couldn't help but admire it.
"This is the best roasted whole lamb I've ever tasted! The queen's craftsmanship is simply amazing! Su Zhe and Xiao Min hurriedly praised.
Shen Yanshu said: "I've learned some before, but I haven't done it for a long time." ”
Feng Jinyi looked at Zuo Tingxue and said, "I want to know what else you will do?" It's always unexpected. ”
"The queen will have a lot of things." Xiao Min said as she ate.
The wind of the night expells the irritable mood, blocks the sad footsteps, and guides the journey of happiness.
Time is gone, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, Zuo Tingxue sat in the yard, stroking the little white tiger and looking at the stars in the sky, very sad in his heart!!
Now the little white tiger has grown into a behemoth, carefully calculate the days, she has been reborn for five years, in these five years, the little white tiger has spent more than four years with her, and now her children are two years old.
At this time, Fang Zhe and Xiao Min hurriedly walked over, Xiao Min lowered his voice and said, "Queen, it has been ascertained." ”
Zuo listened to Xue Yang Yang's hand, signaled to go to the house, and then everyone walked into the room, and the little white tiger also walked into the room, still lying at her feet.
"What did you find?"
"Back to the queen, it turns out that Liu Ruyan is the long-lost daughter of the Zhang family, Liu Ruyan has already recognized the Zhang family, but no one in the Su family knows about it, Liu Ruyan was exposed by the queen and died, and you were also executed, so the mother and daughter of the Zhang family hated you, and Mrs. Hou let Zhang Qian enter the palace and wanted to sit on the queen's throne."
After hearing Fang Zhe's words, Zuo Tingxue just smiled coldly, but did not speak.
"Queen, let's expel Zhang Qian from the palace." Xiao Min said indignantly.
"No, Zhang Qian's father Zhang Bo has made countless military exploits, maybe he doesn't know what tricks his women and daughters want to play, if Zhang Qian is expelled from the palace, not only will it be difficult to explain, but he will also be accused of being cautious."
"That doesn't lead the wolf into the house......"
When Fang Zhe spoke, he saw the little white tiger stand up violently, and rushed out like a bow and arrow, Zuo Tingxue and Fang Zhe were a little confused, I don't know what was going on?
As the little white tiger rushed out, and then a person shouted, and chaos began outside, Zuo Tingxue and Fang Zhe hurriedly stood up and walked out, to see what was going on.
I saw that not far away, many guards surrounded me, Zuo Tingxue hurriedly walked over, saw the little white tiger biting a person's thigh, refused to let go, Zuo Tingxue approached to watch.
I saw this person wearing a servant's costume, a middle-aged man about thirty years old, his face was full of sweat, and he was bitten by the little white tiger with a painful expression.
Seeing that everyone was coming, the man hurriedly said, "Help, hurry up and save me!" ”
"Susu, how can you do this, hurry up and let go." Zuo Tingxue saw the little white tiger biting, and anger rose in his heart.
The little white tiger let go of his mouth and snorted fiercely at the man, as if hinting at everyone.
"Who are you?" Zuo Tingxue asked disdainfully.
"The slave is a servant in the palace, named Gegen, who just passed by here, and I don't know why this tiger suddenly rushed out to bite me." As he spoke, he showed innocent eyes, and his painful expression concealed his panicked emotions.
"Uh......h Woo woo...... "The little white tiger has been barking and biting, and its fierce expression makes people feel a sense of fear.
Zuo Tingxue felt that this matter was a bit strange, why didn't this little white tiger bite others, there were hundreds of people around, but they only bit him, and they kept blocking it, as if they had something to say, but the animals couldn't speak, and there was no evidence, Zuo Tingxue could only guess in his heart, and he didn't dare to make a conclusion.
"Help him down and bandage his wounds." Zuo Tingxue didn't suspect anything, and ordered.
The guards responded, hurriedly helped Ge Gen up, and was about to leave, but the little white tiger still refused to give up, and kept blocking in front, refusing to let go, his mouth was still screaming and biting, and his expression was fierce, like a wolf.
Zuo Tingxue used her own experience to conclude that there must be something wrong with this person, but she had no evidence, so she had to send someone to stare at this person secretly, thinking of this, she said: "Su Su, get out of the way quickly, you can't ............ like this"
"Queen, can't let him go......" A desolate voice came.
Everyone watched the situation, only to see a guard helping Jiu'er walk over from the backyard, Jiu'er's head was rotten, although it was no longer bleeding, the bright red flesh was clearly visible, there was also a little blood on the clothes, and there were obvious blood stains on the face that had not been wiped clean.
Zuo Tingxue couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw it, and now her first feeling was that there was definitely something wrong with the person in front of her.
"Jiu'er, what's wrong with you?" Zuo Tingxue hurriedly asked worriedly.
Jiu'er said intermittently: "Queen...... Watch out for this guy, he's a spy, you just told me to stand guard at the door, and then I found out that someone was eavesdropping on the rooftop, so I asked who it was? When he came down from the roof, he covered my mouth, pulled me down in the back garden, and hit me on the head with a stone, he wanted to kill people, but fortunately this guard brother appeared, she used the pill to revive me, if it wasn't for him, Jiu'er would have died in Huangquan. ”
"Sure enough." As soon as Jiu'er appeared, Zuo Tingxue concluded that this person did it, and sure enough, it was him.
As soon as Kudzu saw that the matter was revealed, he immediately pushed away the guards around him and began to run away.
"Catch him!" Zuo Tingxue hurriedly shouted loudly.
All the guards gathered around, but there were too many people, Ge Gen was surrounded, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he was still injured, so he hurriedly knelt down and prayed: "The queen spares her life, the little one is also forced by others, the small one is old and young, please let the queen let me go!" ”
Zuo Tingxue walked up to him and sneered: "Gegen, if you don't want to die, just tell me honestly, who is the mastermind behind you?" ”
Ge Gen wiped his sweat and said, "I said, can Miss really let me go?" ”
"As long as you are honest and don't lie, this palace will do what it says and will never break its word." Zuo Tingxue had a serious expression on her face.
Fang Zhe was secretly happy in his heart, an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he speculated in his heart, dead spies, the queen promised not to kill you, I didn't promise, when you finish everything, the chief manager will send you on the road.
Jiu'er just wanted to say something, Zuo Tingxue signaled her not to speak, everyone stopped talking, Zuo Tingxue asked Ge Gen to speak.
Ge Gen recounted: "Queen, the little one used to be just a hunter in the mountains, and he could only do a little light work, fur kung fu, two days ago there was a man in black, he found me, gave me a piece of gold, and then he asked me to sneak into the palace, and report your situation to him at any time, every time I report a big event, I can get a gold ingot, and the villain is also blinded by money, so I promised him." ”
Fang Zhe drew his sword and said angrily, "We are asking you who is behind the scenes?" You talk so much nonsense, and you haven't said who is behind it, believe it or not, I'm scrapping you now. ”
Ge Gen's pale face was no longer visible, and he hurriedly explained, "That person has always been masked, and he didn't tell me what his name was, I really don't know what his name is?" ”
Zuo Tingxue already understood something in his heart and said: "Since that person is masked, can you tell me what characteristics he has, or what behaviors and habits he has?" Zuo Tingxue still refused to let go of any clue and asked.
Kudzu thought for a while, "Oh~ By the way, that person has two round scars on his hands, like something bitten, and the scars left after he is healed." ”
"Woo woo...... The little white tiger suddenly shouted at the wall, only to see a man in black standing on the wall, and at this moment, a bright spot flashed.
"Ah......h
Everyone panicked, and Fang Zhe shouted, "Protect the queen, I'll go meet him." ”
Fang Zhe just wanted to fly up lightly, only to see the man in black throw out more than a dozen flying knives in an instant, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Queen, be careful!" Min shouted.
I saw three flying knives flying towards Zuo Tingxue, Xiao Min hurriedly drew his sword to block one, only to see the little white tiger kick his hind legs, leaping up, it had a big mouth, and bit a flying knife, Jiu'er hurriedly pulled Zuo Tingxue, but still didn't take it away, the flying knife stabbed Zuo Tingxue's shoulder.
Zuo Tingxue's eyes were dark, and the pain hit him instantly, he was dizzy, and gradually fell into a coma, Xiao Min hurriedly supported Zuo Tingxue, and shouted worriedly, "Doctor Tai, hurry up and call Doctor Tai!" ”
Everyone hurriedly helped Zuo Tingxue to the room, the doctor treated him, and the little white tiger stood outside the door, turning around, like a person, anxiously waiting.
Feng Jinyi, who had been busy with official business, also hurried over, waiting worriedly!
At this time, a imperial doctor walked out, the little white tiger was faster than anyone else, it hurriedly came over, Feng Jinyi and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
