Chapter 15: Lunch

The young master followed his father-in-law into the dormitory, Zhuang Zhengcheng sat in front of the desk and was cleaning up the action theory he had just read, picked out a book, and was about to get up and go to the coffee table.

The master walked into the dormitory and greeted Zhuang Gong directly: "Zhuang Gong, good afternoon." ”

"Okay, good noon, there are no such festivals, but it is much more comfortable. Come and come directly. Zhuang Gong greeted.

"Did Childe sleep well in the hall last night?" Zhuang Gong asked.

"Thank you Zhuang Gong, these days, it's rare to have such a sweet deep sleep." The master walked to the coffee table.

"I must have not slept well in the first few days." Zhuang Gong said.

"How dare you sleep."

"Tongguan is a disaster, our country is responsible, and Gu has ordered the prime minister and Dongsheng to jointly investigate this matter, and there are only some clues."

"The person they want to kill is Xiaobai, not me." The master said casually.

"Childe Xiaobai, I will never believe it when others say that you have dementia, but I don't believe you when you say that you are not Xiaobai." Zhuang Gong said.

"Well, I don't bother to explain it, so I don't want to discuss it. Didn't you let me come to lunch? The master asked.

"The dining room is ready, and it will be fine in a moment. This is the policy theory presented by the Chinese Academy, the son is high, look at how this article is written? Zhuang Gong handed the master a roll of paper.

The master took it and opened it, hey, the traditional Chinese characters on this paper are also the same, and it is too difficult to read, but the master can also see the general meaning.

The article believes that the people should not be allowed to speak at will, for fear of causing trouble. However, I think that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan. Governing rivers lies in how to dredge and channel, rather than blindly plugging gaps. Therefore, the people's right to speak must be guaranteed, and guiding the people to say something conducive to the stability of the country is the right way, not to gag their mouths. ”

Twenty years ago, the strange woman who had been privately married for life also said something similar, and Zhuang Gong thought back to the past, and recalled too many things about the strange woman.

After the master finished speaking, he waited for Zhuang Gong to judge, but he didn't get an answer for a while.

"Zhuang Gong, do you think what I said is right?" The young master asked patiently.

"What Xiaobai said is right in my mind, and the people can't help but speak, and we must guide them to say something that is conducive to the governance of the country. This is the way to govern the country, Zijing can give you the "golden" waist card of Chi Scale Academy, there is a reason for him. This waist card has been begging for several years, but to no avail, and the son cherishes it. Zhuang Gong came back to his senses and said.

The master touched the waist card in his arms, but he didn't expect it to be so precious.

"I thought it was just a valuable brand. But what do you want from your driver? The master asked.

"The arrogance and stubbornness of the reader." Zhuang Gong replied.

The master seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and smiled.

"Zhuang Gong, I'm hungry, or you should hurry up for lunch." The master said.

"Oh, it's time to come, too." Zhuang Gong looked at Sheng Gonggong and motioned for him to urge.

Gonggong Sheng has not yet left the dormitory, and the people in the dining room bring food to the dormitory.

A few simple meals, not yet on the coffee table. The master counted and counted, just four dishes and one soup.

Zhuang Gong ate these at noon, which was very different from what he imagined.

"Zhuang Gong, that's all for lunch? Is there anything else in the back? ”

"Well, that's all. If it doesn't fit, you can redo the dining room. ”

The master stopped talking, thinking that this Zhuang Gong slammed the door and invited the son of a friendly country to eat, just four dishes and one soup, hey I don't want to, hurry up and eat, otherwise there will be no more.

After eating, the master began to be interested, because he admired the Zhuang Gong in front of him more and more, and the most direct admiration was that he did not pretend.

"Gong Zhuang, thank you for your hospitality in the past two days, I went to you when I entered Jiangyang, I don't know where to live, you can send someone to send me to the residence." The master said.

"Well, it's time to go back to your accommodation. You can come and go as you like in this palace. Zhuang Gong's words were like an order and like asking for advice.

"Thank you, Zhuang Gong. I'll come when I'm free. The master thought to himself, wouldn't it be safer to live in the palace every day, and he promised to

The master said goodbye to Zhuang Gong, followed his father-in-law to the side alley, and went out of the palace gate on the east side, where two columns of silver-armored knights were waiting in formation.

The master got into the carriage, but it didn't take long to get to the residence. The residence is a deep courtyard, only a hundred steps away from the palace.

Came to Fang Guo with Guan Xian, and the maids and guards who had served Gongzi Xiaobai before were already waiting in front of the door.

All the servants recognized the master as Xiaobai, and they all saluted and greeted each other recently.

But how could the young master know them, and he didn't bother to explain, so he had to wait for the cleanup, gather the servants together, and rename them in turn.

And set up rules, no need to kneel and worship, just bow and salute, of course, the master also has to bow back.

This frightened the servants, and the lead servant thought that it was too inappropriate to be respectful and orderly.

The master didn't explain too much, but just said to the servant word by word: "Everyone, don't care about the difference between dignity and inferiority, just do what I ask." ”

The silver-armored knight who sent the master back was also stationed in the deep courtyard. Prevent assassination.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, Yunzhu came to visit, and the young master wanted to avoid it, but he wanted to know about the situation of Chi Scale Academy, so he went out to greet Yunzhu, the lord of Weng.

Listening to Yunzhu's chatter, the master was even more interested in this Chi Scale Academy and decided to visit as soon as possible.

This night, although the young master felt that the deep courtyard was not as safe as the palace, he also slept comfortably.

When they got up early, the two maids brought a teacup to rinse their mouths and wash their basins. The master felt that these things that could take care of himself should not trouble others, so he said: "In the future, I can handle these things myself, so I won't trouble the two sisters." ”

When the maid heard this, she fell to her knees and cried and said, "Childe, don't you want us?" ”

Why is that? How can I not want you. ”

"Childe didn't let him wash his feet last night, and he didn't let him send washing water this morning, he didn't let us do things, and the housekeeper didn't raise idlers, isn't this just driving us away."

"Hey, don't worry, the two sisters won't let you go, you can go and help others work. Hurry up, didn't you say that there will be no bowing in the future! ”

The two maids got up and wiped away from their tears.

After the master finished washing, he saw that the tea and snacks had been placed on the coffee table, and the master did not have the habit of getting up early to drink tea and eat snacks, so he asked the maid to take it away, so he went to the kitchen and asked the man to fry an egg.

The man complied. It didn't take long to present it to the coffee table, and before the master could pick it up, he heard a maid in the kitchen scream.

Xiao Ye, the guards, and the silver armor knight hurriedly arrived, and saw that a group of servants in the kitchen were surrounding the maid who was crying because Xiao Ye did not allow him to send any more washing water.

Separated from the crowd, a maid sat on the ground and cried, and a maid was foaming at the mouth and did not know if she was still alive.

The master decided that the foaming mouth must have been poisoned, leaned down and tried to snort, but he had already lost his breath, for fear that others would be poisoned again, and then asked, "What did she eat just now?" ”

The crying maid stammered while crying: "I just saw that my son didn't eat dim sam, so the two of us ate the dim sum, but I didn't expect that my sister fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth unconscious after eating." ”

The master saw that he only ate two pieces of dim sum, and the other girl also ate it, and it was not poisoned, so the poison should not be in the dim sum.

Then he asked, "Did she eat anything else?" ”

"We've been together in the morning, and we haven't seen her eat anything else."

The master was puzzled, and carefully observed the dim sum, and saw that the teacup was next to it, and only half of the tea was left in the cup.

"Did she drink this tea?"

"Drink it, she said to leave it for me to drink, and before I could drink it, my sister collapsed."

"The poison is in this tea, come here, bring a dog." The master commanded.

After a while, a black dog with a fierce face was brought over. The master asked people to bring rice again, poured a little tea into the rice, and let the black dog eat it.

For a long time, there was no sign of poisoning in the black dog.

"Could it be that poison is not in the tea either?" The young master pondered. It occurred to him that it could be that only tea and snacks could be poisoned.

Another dog was brought in, and the master soaked the dim sum in tea and let the dog eat it, and the dog foamed at the mouth and died.

"Who prepared this morning's breakfast?" The master asked.

All the servants looked for Lao Pan and looked around, but found that Lao Pan had been hanged on the beam of the house.

This method is really clever, if my master eats a snack and drinks tea, and dies violently, even if the forensic doctor thinks that he was poisoned by others, it is estimated that he will only test the dim sum and tea alone, so that the poison can be ruled out. I can only assume that I died violently.

This not only killed me, but also preserved Fang Guo, who would be so calculating?

Xiao Ye thought about it carefully, and became more and more frightened, for him, this country is not safe.
