Chapter 17: The Master of Sunflower Dacheng!
Sun Zheng did not rectify the restaurant, listened to the words of the shopkeeper, and gathered the people in the back kitchen of the store overnight, taught the methods of crispy buns, white cakes, and pot helmets, and personally stared at a pot of bacon and pork marinade. Kill the head sheep and cook a pot of sheep soup.
Forget about tofu brains, there are no motors and boilers, and relying on stone mills and primitive steamers can make people tired and vomit blood. You can only casually make a pot of spicy soup instead.
To put it simply, it is heavy oil, heavy salt, and heavy seasoning! Highlight one word, expensive!
The people in the kitchen are veterans in all walks of life, and the basic skills are not lacking, but the difference is only the mature formula and inheritance. With Sun Zheng's personal guidance, learning these things is like piercing a piece of window paper, and you can get through it at one point.
At dawn, Sun Zheng finished his stay, and several meat sandwich buns of different grades and excellent appearance were successfully baked.
I just get up early and pull it out and start entering the store early. The newly launched several kinds of food were very popular, and there was no need to advertise them at all, and the tap water that tasted it appeared to say, and soon lined up in front of the store.
The shopkeeper He admired the five-body throw, and then saw the master greeting Tang Yuansheng with breakfast, and he could also squeeze out a smile to say hello.
Sun Zheng didn't expect that it would be so simple to become popular this year, and the few advertising tricks originally designed could not be used at all.
In addition to breakfast, there is also a big killer of mutton steamed buns at noon. If the business is no longer viable, this old He should be replaced.
After eating, Tang Yuansheng shook his spirits and took Sun Zheng to the street again. This guy is indeed very familiar with Taiyuan City, not only the major yamen, business names such as a few treasures, and even the strongholds of some people in the rivers and lakes, can also be said to be inseparable.
With such a local snake leading the way, Sun Zheng saved a lot of effort.
After three days of shopping, the streets and alleys in Taiyuan City were well understood, and only the internal situation of the Jin Wangfu in the target area was not understood.
Taiyuan City in the early Ming Dynasty, in addition to covering an area of nearly one-third of the Jin Palace, there are also the residences of the princes of the Jin Dynasty. It can be said that the entire Taiyuan City is the private property of the King of Jin. However, due to the unclear understanding of the second generation of Jin kings, there were some signs of rebellion. As a result, the prince was cut down, and the entire family was confined to live.
The original palace was converted into a prison, and the area was reduced by more than half. The whole family is confined inside, living in isolation.
Until the restoration of Yingzong, thinking that he had been imprisoned for seven or eight years, he had great sympathy, not only released the young son of Emperor Jianwen, who had been imprisoned for decades, but also returned the title of King of Jin.
Although the power of the restored Jin Wangfu has been cut by half, with the passage of time and decades, it has gradually returned to the old road in the former fish and meat township. Taiyuan City has yamen at all levels, but there is nothing to do about a behemoth like the King of Shangjin. Taiyuan City is nominally the capital of Shanxi Province, but half of the affairs in the city are taken care of by the Jin Palace.
To find out the situation, Sun Zheng drew a plan of Taiyuan. This map was drawn entirely in the style of military maps of later generations, not only clearly marking the streets and alleys and the yamen stations at all levels, but also marking every business and every building as much as possible.
Treat the map as a new travelogue and ask Lao Zhao to send it back to the prince. Then Sun Zheng beckoned the convoy to prepare to leave, and the group went out of the city to Datong.
When he camped that night, Sun Zheng instructed Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li to declare that they would retreat and not be disturbed. The convoy acted as planned, and then turned around and sneaked back to Taiyuan overnight.
These four people knew that he had his own tasks, and they did not dare to dissuade them, so they could only silently bless. It is not easy for the ancestor to pick a successor, but this level must be broken by himself. If you can break through, you will rise to the top in the future. If you can't break through, everything will be over.
Sun Zheng urged the spiral nine shadows, rushed a day's journey during the day, and returned smoothly in an hour.
In the era of hot weapons, Taiyuan couldn't stop him, not to mention that now he still has light skills, he can't even use a knife, climbing the wall is like a gecko, brushing a few times to reach the top.
Sneak along the city wall to the location of the outer house of the Jin King's Mansion, and fall like a fallen leaf.
Living here is a steward of the Jin Palace. This guy has always acted arrogantly and has no scruples. In the past few days that Sun Zheng has been shopping in Taiyuan, almost every time he sees him, he is whipping others or robbing people and things without giving money. There was even a time at the door of the prefect's office, and a big slap slapped the prefect's officer, just because his concubine was beating people on the street and was stopped by the other party.
This kind of goods used to kill directly when they saw it. This time, he saved it to take advantage of his identity.
A housekeeper lives in a big house with three entrances. More than a dozen servants inside and outside serve in the ring, which shows the style of the Jin Palace.
That's it, it's a lot more convergent?!
Sun Zheng sneaked in quietly and directly touched the master bedroom. A small hole was poked in the window, and ether was poured into it as if it didn't want money.
After a while, the snoring also disappeared. Push the door in, there are two maid rings in the outer room, and the steward and the concubine lie on the bed in the inner room.
The male and female duo were directly put into the space to make a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate. A search of the room showed that there was a secret compartment under the bed, and there were three small boxes in it. It seems that the income from being a steward is not small, and his net worth is quite rich. The room watched as all the valuable things were taken away, creating a scene of theft.
Spend a hundred kill points and become a steward. Meditate on the spot until dawn.
At dawn, shouting and shouting people came in. The two maids are still unconscious, the concubine is nowhere to be seen, and the house is soft and clean, this is obviously a thief, and it must be investigated carefully!
The facts of this case are very clear, there is no need to investigate, the number one suspect is the concubine, go to her house to get someone first.
Tossed until noon, alarming the inner house, the fake steward was called in for questioning. reprimanded a few words, let him put away a little fuss, and carefully don't ruin the reputation of the palace.
Sun Zheng returned to the outer house, and in the name of being unwell, he postponed his errands for the past few days, and devoted himself to investigating the case and visiting the thief. The rules of the palace, if there is something, it will be handled by itself, and it will not alarm the yamen at all, and it can't afford to lose that person!
Taking this opportunity, Sun Zheng justifiably asked the miscellaneous servants in the outer house one by one, and asked some questions upside down.
It doesn't matter if this investigation is done, the case of losing things has not been clarified, but several other things have been found. There are those who betray their masters and steal others, those who are greedy for money, and those who use their power to seek personal gain.
A lot of things were found, and Sun Zheng didn't report them, and only asked these boys to pay money to atone for their crimes, which was in line with the steward's own personality. A small group of people were pitted until they vomited blood, and most of them couldn't get the amount he asked for.
Sun Zheng took the opportunity to reveal his breath again, as long as you can take out the black material of others, let you go.
All kinds of means were used together, and within two days, Sun Zheng collected a lot of black materials from the palace in his hands. Judging from these black materials, there is no clean one in the entire Jin Palace!
But after looking for two days, I didn't find the slightest news about An Jiang, and then looked through the information given by the master, this person is about 50, 7 feet 2 inches tall, with figure-eight eyebrows, triangular eyes, a red mole under the left cheek, and a white face......
Wipe! This thing is also a eunuch! In all the palaces of the Ming Dynasty, there will inevitably be a few eunuchs. In the Jin Palace, although there are a lot, after all, they are only vassal kings, and they have been cut down, and the total number is only about twenty.
This is easy to do, collect all the information of these eunuchs, and then eliminate them one by one.
With direction, things can be done quickly.
Relying on the black material in his hand, Sun Zheng successfully opened up the inner house line. Soon colluded with several housekeepers, nominally to sort out the atmosphere of the palace, but in fact, he took the opportunity to extort bamboo and enrich his own pockets.
Through this method, in less than half a day, Sun Zheng got all the information of the twenty-four eunuchs in the palace.
After investigation, all the twenty-four eunuchs did not meet. But Sun Zhengtan heard a clue, among which was a little eunuch surnamed An, who had to go back to the old seven mansions every night to take care of his godfather.
The so-called old seven mansions are the former residences of the seventh son of the first Jin king, and during the period when the Jin clan was cut, he was implicated and cut into commoners, and the house was also collected.
Whether it's a clue or not, it's worth looking into.
At night, Sun Zheng quietly stayed behind the little eunuch and entered the old seventh mansion all the way.
Although the house is large, it has been abandoned for many years, and many of the houses have fallen into disrepair, and only a few of them are still in good condition. The little eunuch carried the food box, turned left and right, and entered one of the rooms.
The room was lit up with a dim yellow light, and two figures were reflected in the windows. The little eunuch's diligent cloth dish, on the other side, was a figure sitting upright.
Sun Zheng had just landed on the wall, only to feel a sudden attack of dark energy, and the conditioned reflex defense dodged, but he forgot that he was holding an adult body, and he was not used to it for a while, and was hit in the shoulder by that dark energy.
was hit by this dark energy, and the whole person slammed into the wall behind him. Secretly lucky, thanks to wearing armor, otherwise this time I would have taken half a life.
Glancing at it, I gasped, on the titanium alloy armor, there was an embroidery needle firmly inserted!
I rub! This is the master of the Sunflower Treasure Book!
