Chapter 10: Death in Chengdu (5)

Zhu Wenyu originally just looked at Tang Yun and smiled evilly, but when he saw that Tang Yun actually endured it, he was a little surprised, and he felt a little too much for a while, glanced at Nangong Ling, shook his head with a wry smile, and picked up the rice bowl the same, this bowl of rice was originally prepared by Tang Yun to eat by himself, so naturally there would be no more problems. Zhu Wenyu looked at Tang Yun, who was only interested in eating, and took a piece of fish in his hand, and was ready to eat.

As soon as he ate two bites, he suddenly heard Zhu Wenyu screaming, leaving his rice bowl behind, and hurriedly spit out a mouthful of fish in his mouth.

Nangong Ling and Tang Li were eating fish with relish, and when they saw Zhu Wenyu like this, they raised their heads and looked at Zhu Wenyu in amazement, only to see Zhu Wenyu sticking out his tongue, showing a painful expression on his face, inhaling incessantly, and fanning his mouth quickly with his hand. Looking around, he seemed to be looking for something.

Nangong Ling realized that Zhu Wenyu was spicy. It turns out that Tang Yun and Tang Li are originally from Sichuan, and Nangong Ling is from Shandong, so he can eat some chili peppers, but Zhu Wenyu is a native of Zhili, who has lived in the capital for many years, and the dishes there are quite light, slightly sweet, and rarely spicy. Originally, it had been several months since he went out of the capital, and Zhu Wenyu had adapted to some tastes from all over the world, and he also tried to eat some Sichuan food in the Tang Gate, but first, he didn't eat much, and secondly, Tang Yanxiong specially instructed him to make it less spicy. This returned to this remote shop, Tang Yun intentionally told Lao Feng to make it extra spicy and the taste heavier, but this pot of boiled fish was extremely spicy, and a large handful of peppercorns were also put in, with a strong hemp fragrance. Zhu Wenyu just let Tang Yun cocoon herself, seeing that she endured it and a little strange, just paying attention to her, when eating fish, I didn't pay much attention to it, and felt fragrant, I ate several mouthfuls of fish in a row, and I didn't feel it at first, and after a while, I felt that it was numb and spicy, and suddenly I felt so spicy that I couldn't stop spitting out the fish in my mouth, and I couldn't help but inhale and stick out my tongue, and look for tea everywhere to be spicy.

Nangong Ling saw that Zhu Wenyu had also suffered a loss, and laughed again, laughing so much that Zhu Wenyu glared at him: "Rotten wood, what are you laughing at!" However, because he was sticking out his tongue and speaking indistinctly, he was in a hurry to find water, and Tang Li also helped Zhu Wenyu look around to find water. Tang Yun raised his head and saw Zhu Wenyu's embarrassed appearance, so spicy that he was sweating profusely, and he was about to jump up, just like a monkey with a scalding monkey hair, and he couldn't help but "pounce" and turn his anger into laughter, turned around and handed over the teapot from the table of the eight immortals behind him, Xiao Li hurriedly picked up a cup and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Zhu Wenyu, Zhu Wenyu grabbed it and drank it impatiently, and spit it out again with a "wow", it turned out that the tea had not cooled down, such a big mouthful in his mouth, and Zhu Wenyu was scalded enough, this time it was numb, spicy and hot, really made Zhu Wenyu sweat profusely, even the sweat around his eyes, snot and tears came out, and he kept sticking out his tongue, embarrassed.

Tang Yun also reacted suddenly, also covered his mouth and laughed, laughed while getting up and running into the back room, and soon took a bamboo tube and scooped it out, which was full of a spoonful of water, Zhu Wenyu was in a hurry, saw the water and hurriedly took it, tried it first, it was cold and cold, about well water or river water, and it didn't matter, as long as it was cold, he drank several big mouthfuls, and took a big sip in his mouth, and a big piece bulged up on his cheeks.

"Well deserved!" Tang Yun screamed softly, but looking at Zhu Wenyu, his eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't have the same disgust and provocation as before. "If you can't eat it, you have to eat it like this, you deserve it."

"How did I know it was so spicy?" Zhu Wenyu just shouted loudly, and was busy drinking water.

Nangong Ling next to him was already laughing so much that his stomach hurt, and Tang Li was also laughing while wiping the water stains on Zhu Wenyu's clothes.

After being busy for a long time, Zhu Wenyu finally felt better, slowly quieted down, sat back at the table, and continued to eat, but he didn't dare to eat the tempting boiled fish anymore, just took the plate of kimchi and put the chopsticks.

After the four of them finished dinner, they went back to the inn together after settling the bill with Lao Feng, although Zhu Wenyu's mouth was not spicy, but the numb taste was still very unaccustomed, and he always kept spitting out, which made Tang Yun frown and said, "Hey, can you do it?" Did you vomit like that? ”

"Is this my fault? Your fish is spicy and numb, and I still don't feel a mouthful of numbness. Zhu Wenyu spit out again angrily.

"Hee-hee, who told you to be reckless? Ask for yourself!" How can Tang Yun admit defeat? Naturally, he sneered.

Slowly go all the way, close the shop after dark, and get on the horse in the morning. In the past few days, Tang Yun always felt unpleasant when she looked at Zhu Wenyu, and she always involuntarily ridiculed and ridiculed from time to time when she spoke, and there were words in her words, and her words were sharp, and she was unconvinced and tried to tease Zhu Wenyu several times, or deliberately and secretly bought off the villagers to deliberately find trouble with Zhu Wenyu, or quietly broke Zhu Wenyu's stool during dinner, but how could she fight Zhu Wenyu's monkey-like ghost elf? Zhu Wenyu has silver on his body, but he bought the villagers to find Tang Yun's ballast, or the stool collapsed but he didn't fall down at all, in short, either Tang Yun's little trick could not succeed, or in turn Tang Yun was asked to suffer a little, according to Zhu Wenyu's words, this is also called "cocooning and self-restraint" and "self-begging for hardship", and the words are also sharp and tight, without giving in, with a smile but not a smile, sometimes a sentence or two comes back, but Tang Yun vomits enough. However, Nangong Ling didn't interfere, just watched the excitement with a smile on the side. Tang Li was sometimes kind-hearted, and when he saw that she was a little excessive, he quietly handed over a message to her: "Miss, okay, don't be angry with Zhu Gongzi, the master said that he listened to Zhu Gongzi along the way." Sometimes seeing her being so angry that Zhu Wenyu stared at her and persuaded her, "Miss, don't mess with him, you can't fight him." Tang Yun himself didn't understand why he didn't like Zhu Wenyu like this, and he had to do everything with him, so he reprimanded Tang Li angrily: "Little ghost, if you don't help me, I will speak for others!" After a few times, Tang Li didn't dare to persuade him, so he simply watched her and Zhu Wenyu fight, and he and Nangong Ling quietly followed a little later and rode away.

After doing this for a few days, the uncomfortable feeling between Zhu and Tang slowly disappeared, and they also laughed slightly, Zhu Wenyu was still the nature of a monkey, joking for a while, saying a few strange words, making Tang Yun and Tang unable to stop laughing, and slowly getting used to Zhu Wenyu's lazy face full of nonsense, and getting used to the prodigal son who seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Only Nangong Ling is still so polite and gentle at all times. Sometimes Tang Yun looked at the two people riding in front of him, and thought to himself: "Such two people, one is like a gangster, they are all staggering on horses, and the other is always sitting upright, talking and acting quietly, and the two people who are far away are two extremes at all, but they came together and became inseparable good friends, and they also spoke and acted so tacitly, which is really wonderful." ”

Such a child and daughter walked all the way unhurriedly, fighting for more than ten days, and the four finally came to the provincial capital of Chengdu.

This time, Zhu Wenyu was ordered by King Yan to investigate and deal with the murder case, so when he entered the city of Chengdu, he first looked for the government yamen. Buzheng Yamen is located in the south of the city, there are two big stone lions at the door from afar, there are two big lanterns hanging on the gatehouse, the vermilion copper nail wooden door, the county government of Bazhong County is much more magnificent than the county yamen, there is a big plaque hanging on the lintel, and there are three big characters on the book "Chengdu Mansion". There were also two poor men dressed as servants at the door, just holding their sleeves and stomping their feet.

Zhu Wenyu and the four of them slowly let the horses go over, turned over and dismounted outside the gate. Zhu Wenyu stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask this big brother, is this the Chengdu Buzheng Yamen?" ”

When the two officials saw the living people, they all looked at them, and one of them was very capable, and stepped forward and asked: "This is the Yamen of the Sichuan Political Division, how many dare you ask?" ”

"Please inform your political envoy, just say that Zhu Wenyu wants to see you." Zhu Wenyu saw that the other party was polite, and he had a good impression, and said politely.

"Please wait a while, and the villain will report it." With that, one of them hurriedly pushed open the vermilion gate and flashed in.

"This bad big brother is really good." Tang Yun praised in the back.

"Hehe, this girl has won the prize. Our lord has long had a strict command, and all visitors must be treated with courtesy, not neglected, not arrogant and deceitful, otherwise the heavy punishment will not be spared. Besides, all the dignitaries who come here are dignitaries, and we really can't afford to offend as subordinates. The rest of them said with a smile as they stomped their feet and held their hands.

"Huh, huh? I don't know what to call your political envoys? ”

"Childe came here to ask to see our master, but he didn't know the name of our master? Hehe, our lord's surname is Wei, and he is up and down, and the son didn't come specifically to ask to see, right? ”

"We came all the way to ask for a meeting, but we really don't know Lord Wei's official secrets." Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.

A few people were talking, only to see the door of the vermilion door open, and an official led thirty or fifty people to pour out, and the leading official saw Zhu Wenyu and the four of them, bowed to the ground, and knelt on the ground in unison, and the errand who was talking to Zhu Wenyu was stunned, and Tang Yun and Tang Li behind him were also startled, and hurriedly retreated. Only Nangong Ling seemed to have known that such a thing would happen, and led the horse to stand still with a smile.

"Sichuan political envoy Wei Zhengxing greets Lord Qincha Zhu!" The leading official fell to the ground and shouted.

The messenger who was still standing outside the door heard this, "Chincha!" His legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Lord Wei, please get up, Lord Wei is strict, and he is really a famous minister." Zhu Wenyu took a step forward and helped Wei Zhengxing up.

"The lower officials don't dare, Lord Qin sent to come, and the lower officials never greeted him from afar, hoping that Lord Qin sent him to punish him."
