Chapter 124: The Bell Tier
"Back to Your Majesty, except for the Tong steward, only the owner of the shop, Ning is unharmed, but Ning is unharmed...... He was imprisoned for wounding someone. Jiang Yan deliberately glanced at King Jin again.
King Jin immediately came to the fire.
Good for you!
I'm waiting here!
I want to use the donor to lead to the fact that Ning Wuxian hurt people, so it's a big thing to turn a small thing, isn't it?
King Jin immediately gave the squire of the criminal department a look.
The waiter of the Criminal Department immediately retorted: "It's just a crime of hurting people, as long as the government issues a document, it is not difficult to enter Beijing to offer the party, unless he commits some major crime of killing his head, he can't enter the palace to see the driver, so as not to collide with the holy face, right?" ”
"Li Shilang seems to know the inside story of Ning Wuxian's injury?" Zhou Qian didn't understand the reason, but he also heard the meaning of the waiter of the Criminal Department.
As soon as the waiter of the Criminal Department wanted to say that it was "talk of experience", Tong Bufu had already finished the measurement.
"Your Majesty, please bring thirty catties of wine."
"Quick! Go to the Imperial Dining Room and get wine! ”
Zhou Qian had no intention of continuing to discuss this topic.
Li Shilang was secretly annoyed that he had missed the opportunity to test the prescription, so he could only look at King Jin for help.
At this time, only King Jin is the most suitable to lead to the topic.
King Jin naturally knew this, but the attitude of his father made him beat a drum in his heart.
And he can survive in the Three Wastes Prince and still preserve his strength, and he knows the way of survival: he would rather do less than do anything wrong.
Therefore, King Jin chose to wait and see.
Especially Jiang Yan's gaze from time to time, if he comes out again, he will inevitably leave a-for-tat impression on his father, even if Ning Wuxiao does what he wants, if the wine party comes true, his father will feel that he is very disappointed.
Again.
If there really is that kind of liquor that is better than the imperial tribute wine, this thing is more profitable than perfume, and it will definitely open a special imperial workshop to dispose of.
He also planned to stuff people in, and get some oil and water or some spirits through the back door, and a lot of silver poured in on him.
Must wait and see!
King Jin was silent, and other officials naturally did not dare to disturb Zhou Gan's interest.
For a while, the civil and military officials in the shade all stared at the blind Tong Bufu, laboriously wiping the ironware for a while, and bending down laboriously to dig out the ashes of the stove for a while.
Seeing Tong Bufu's hard work due to blindness, I don't know if it's because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and everyone is gradually getting irritable.
Fortunately.
The imperial dining room quickly brought thirty catties of wine.
Zhou Qian sent someone to open the five-pound wine jar and get it, and the six jars were arranged in a row, and the messenger brought it to Tong Bufu.
After Tong Bufu sniffed, he was taken aback and said, "This is a first-class imperial tribute bar, and it is wasted to use it for steaming wine." ”
"I heard Su Rui say that steaming wine is purification, so that good seedlings can be planted, and isn't it the best wine to be steamed from good wine?" Zhou Qian asked puzzled and expectant.
If ordinary bad wine can also be steamed strong, not to mention that Jinling Mansion will increase the tax by 30%.
He dared to think that the entire Daxing would increase the tax by 30%!
"Your Majesty, the wine used in my perfume shop is ordinary soju...... This wine is also fine, with a few sticks of firewood and less time to steam half a stick of incense. ”
Tong Bufu's expression was improvised, and he almost shocked the jaws of the civil and military officials.
Even Jiang Yan was taken aback, only to know that there was such a doorway among them.
"Jiang Aiqing, why are you so surprised, don't you know the subtlety of this steamed wine?" Zhou Qian tried to control his emotions, but the change in his salutation illustrated his attitude.
Jiang Yan hurriedly controlled his expression and bowed: "Back to Your Majesty, minister...... Knowing that it was convenient to bring someone to offer, he was busy and didn't ask, and besides, this was the secret recipe of the Ning family, and it was inconvenient for the minister to ask. ”
Quite right.
Zhou Qian looked at Tong Bufu, who poured the wine into the iron pot like water, and squatted in front of the stove and began to burn wood.
Seeing Tong Bufu being burned by the burning stick from time to time, Zhou Qian felt a little awkward.
He has seen people who have been blind for many days, although they are blind but have a keen sense of touch, is this child in front of him deliberately pretending?
For the sake of Daxing Sancheng taxation...... He endured.
Steam the wine first.
Before Zhou Qian could ask someone to help, Jiang Yan took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to go and give a hand to Steward Tong, he has just been blind in his other eye, and he is not used to it, in case it burns again, I am afraid that his life will be in danger." ”
What? Just blind?
Zhou Qian suddenly realized, no wonder the cloth on Tong Bufu's eyes was still bloody.
He saw that in addition to pouring wine, lighting fire, and touching the top iron with water vapor with a spoon from time to time, he didn't do anything dangerous, let alone hurt his eyes, he asked puzzledly: "Jiang Aiqing, how did Tong Bufu's eyes go blind?" ”
Jiang Yan glanced at King Jin again.
A murderous intent flashed in Zhou Qian's eyes, and he also looked at King Jin: Could it be that this rebel dared to intercept and kill officials halfway in order to worry that the Ning family would ascend to the sky because of his dedication?
“……”
King Jin was so frightened that the hot sweat all over his body turned into cold sweat, and he was as silent as a cicada, but he was confused.
What do you think of him again?
He didn't know the surname Tong, and he never told others to blind the eyes of the surnamed Tong.
Wait a minute!
Blinded?
If he remembered correctly, in the letter Zhou An wrote to him, he mentioned that Ning Wuxian was imprisoned for hurting people, and the crime was......
"Your Majesty, this wine is almost steamed, and if you want to purify it all, you have to continue to burn the fire, but two taels of spirits have been gathered in the container, and the grass people will collect it and invite Your Majesty to taste it."
Tong Bufu's words successfully diverted Zhou Qian's attention.
Relieved of the double suppression of his father's bloodline and the king, King Jin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Tong Bufu, who was holding a bowl of wine, walking over slowly, and being supported by his father himself.
I don't know if it's because my father's attitude is different today, or if the aroma of this wine is too strong, he feels a little dizzy.
"It's so fragrant!"
"I feel like I'm going to get drunk before I get it."
"This wine should only be in the sky, how can I smell it a few times in the world, it is worthy of the wine party sent to the capital by a big fight, it is really wonderful!"
Compared with the praise of civil and military officials, Hubu Shangshu was directly happy.
"That royal tribute wine is a rare gold, if this kind of wine can be mass-produced, it can increase the number of imperial wine breweries by at least 10 million a year...... And even more silver taels into the account! ”
Daxing has been peaceful for many years, and there are too many people who have spare money to drink.
And those who have spare money to drink good wine are even more numerous.
Hubu Shangshu looked at Jiang Yan who was sitting on the bench with envy and took over from Tong Bufu to burn the fire.
With this merit, Jiang Yan can at least be promoted to the third level!
At this time.
Zhou Qian had already taken the wine bowl near the water, and he leaned under his nose to smell it, and his cloudy eyes brightened a little.
Zhou Qian couldn't suppress his excitement and drank all the wine in the bowl, but he still had important things to deal with next, so naturally he couldn't get drunk and make jokes.
As a decision-maker, it's important to keep a clear head at all times.
"It's really good wine, old fourteen, you taste it for me."
When the ministers heard this, their complexion changed.
This first bowl of wine let King Kang taste, although there is a suspicion of testing poison, but as long as the poison does not kill King Kang, Queen Kang will be blessed endlessly!
"Thank you for your father's reward!"
King Kang did not hesitate, took the wine bowl and drank it all.
"Good wine!"
Crash!
Plop!
King Kang only said two words, then dropped the bowl, and fell to the ground with red cheeks.
I was drunk!
"Hahaha! This kid's usual amount of wine is not bad, and he poured it in a bowl today, which shows that this steamed wine is indeed worthy of his words! This kind of good wine can be called the best wine in the world! Zhou Qian's words are equivalent to agreeing with the wine party.
The civil and military officials immediately agreed, looking at Jiang Yan with envy, and Tong Bufu, who was personally supported by Zhou Qian.
When King Jin saw King Kang falling asleep on the ground, he almost crushed his teeth.
His anger had nowhere to vent, so he could only accumulate it, ready to refute the next words, Tong Bufu was very likely to take advantage of the wine party to exchange Ning Wuxian's life.
At this time, everyone heard Tong Bufu muttering: "Actually...... The wine steamed in this way is not the best, and there is also a recipe for saving grain. ”
"What did you say?"
Zhou Qian suspected that he was old and had heard it wrong.
Isn't this wine the best?
Where is the wine recipe for saving grain?
Zhou Qian's heart was hot, and before he could open his mouth to ask Tong Bufu to solve his doubts, King Jin finally found the moment to attack, and shouted loudly: "Bold Tong is not confused, since you are dedicated to the Ning family, why do you dare to hide your secrets!" ”
