At noon, the sun rose to the zenith and poured its heat on the land of Changyi.

Such hot weather is very rare in the spring of Changyi country.

The courtyard of the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion was very lively, and the people who came to testify to Liu He sat on the ground.

Gather in a small circle in threes, fives, and fives, chatting while eating the food delivered from the East Kitchen of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Because of the rush of time, it is natural that I can't make anything exquisite.

The main dish is freshly made hot cakes, and the side dishes are prepared in advance.

This purpose is actually salted vegetables and kimchi.

"Poetry" has clouds: I have a purpose, but also to protect against winter.

This is a kind of side dish that ordinary people usually eat the most.

Although the food distributed was very simple and ordinary, everyone ate in full swing, and the courtyard was filled with the sound of chewing food.

At the beginning, everyone was a little unable to let go, after all, this is a majestic and solemn prime minister's mansion.

But after thinking about it, they came to help the king of Changyi ask for money, so they suddenly hardened.

Everyone is talking more and more energetically, and this food is becoming more and more enjoyable.

"The food in this prime minister's house is also ordinary, and it tastes just like this, just take this cake as an example, it's too dry and too hard."

Before Guan Er said this, he had actually eaten four cakes in one go, and he was a little unsatisfied with his fingers to twist the scraps that fell on the placket and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Second Brother Guan is right, this purpose is not as good as my wife's wife, and the salt is too stingy, and I don't eat if I don't eat."

Zhang Er was not far behind, he kept sucking his fingers, and almost swallowed his fingers into his stomach.

Although the words were very tough, the old man stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the east kitchen in unison.

The reason is very simple, Master Dai told them very clearly just now, they can eat as much as they want today, and they will be satisfied.

In the past few years, the wind and rain have been smooth, the harvest is good, the taxes are not high, and life is quite passable.

But food always has to be eaten carefully.

Especially in these two months, it is the time when there is no harvest, and everyone has not been able to eat with their open bellies for a long time.

I finally had this opportunity today, how could I miss it?

If you don't eat enough, you'll lose money.

The others are also ordinary people, so their thoughts are similar to those of these two brothers.

Now that he had finished eating the bread and vegetables in his hand, he stretched his neck and looked in the same direction.

In a short time, the chef in the prime minister's house brought seven or eight more wooden barrels with his servants, and they were all filled with bread and money.

The people who had been quiet just now suddenly began to stir, and they all stood up one by one.

Guan Er and Zhang San also closed the chatterbox, patted their butts and jumped up, for fear that others would take the lead.

Immediately, the servants and the buckets containing the food were surrounded by a crowd, and the people were not polite, but reached out to take them.

Many people have one in their left hand, one in their right hand, and one in their mouth.

And some elderly women not only took it themselves, but also secretly put it into their clothes, apparently wanting their families to also get a touch of His Royal Highness's light.

If it weren't for Dai Zong's desperate efforts to maintain order, it is estimated that someone would have trampled on someone long ago.

The chef of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the apprentices he brought with him were squeezed away by the people, and they almost fell on their heels.

These two people have been cooking in the Xiangfu for more than ten years, and they have also done a lot of banquets and drinks, but they have never seen such a big scene.

"Master, this, I'm afraid it's still not enough to eat!" apprentice

"Do you still have bread in the kitchen?"

The chef wiped the sweat from his head while asking, just now the master of the book passed on the words of His Royal Highness, so that everyone should be well fed.

If this matter is messed up, even if His Highness doesn't find trouble for himself, Master He won't spare himself.

"It's gone, except for some sent to His Highness in the main hall, even the lunch left for each Cao has been brought over, and the envoys of each Cao are also hungry!"

The best thing to do at the moment is to go out and buy it, or go to the east kitchen of the county temple to come over.

But the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was surrounded, and they couldn't get out at all.

"Quick, go steam the bean rice and bring it in a bucket!"

"Bean rice?"

Bean rice is a staple food made with five grains mixed together and steamed, and although it is not as chewy as a cake, it is more convenient to make.

"These people are all ordinary people born with mud legs, why can't you eat bean rice, just do it quickly, in case they make a fuss and alarm His Highness and Changyi in the main hall, you and I can't afford it."

The matter of Tian Buxi being tortured in court has long been spread throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone knows that several big people are in a bad mood, and no one wants to touch this mold.

"No, I'll do it!" This apprentice is also exciting enough, and he jumped towards the east kitchen like a rabbit.

By this time, the buckets of bread and vegetables were empty, and the chef looked at them twice, and became more and more anxious. After thinking about it, he was still a little uneasy, and hurriedly walked to the east kitchen.

The people in this courtyard were eating hotly, but the atmosphere in the main hall was a little cold.

The bloody torture instruments had all been put away, the blood on the floor had been wiped clean, and except for Chen Xiu, the rest of the Facao pawns were waiting outside the hall.

The entire main hall was restored to its original appearance, except for Na Tian, whose hair was messy and resting on a few cases in his spirit—his knees were beaten to the point that it was impossible to sit on his knees.

And the blood on his body and face had dried up, turning from bright red to dark red.

None of the people in the main hall spoke, silently nibbling on the bread in their hands.

An Lexiang originally wanted Liu He to go to the dining room to eat, but he refused, so An Lexiang could only follow Liu He to nibble on cakes in this main hall.

Liu He's meal was not large, and the two cakes were already full, he clapped his hands and slapped off the scraps in his hands, and after the rest of the people saw it, they also put away the unfinished cakes in their hands.

"Your Highness, have you eaten well?" An Lexiang asked.

"Well, eat it, if you cut this cake and put meat and vegetables in it, it must have a different flavor, Yu Langzhong has eaten it once, and it must be unforgettable for life." Liu He quipped.

Yu Wuwu nodded, but the scene of the torture just now had not yet dissipated from his mind, so his appetite was not very good, and he only ate half a cake.

"Okay, An Qing, let's start, don't let our Tian Envoy be impatient."

Liu He deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "envoy", which scared Tian Buxi enough, and the half of the cake in his hand almost fell off.

An Le straightened his body, slapped Tang Mu fiercely, and asked Tian Buxi: "Tian Buxi, are you willing to confess your guilt and confess now?" ”

Tian Buxi's broken lips trembled, and finally said vaguely: "The villain is willing to confess and confess." ”
