Li Yuantong, the foreman of the inner guard, came out of the gate of the Shen Mansion.

"Brother Li, look who's coming. Wang Shun stood in front of him and said with a smile.

Li Yuantong looked up, and a graceful girl got down from the carriage, and couldn't help but be stunned, and whispered reproach: "Wang Shun, why did you bring Miss Liu here." ”

"Brother Li, the younger brother mentioned that you came to Yangzhou, Miss Liu couldn't wait to see you, there was no way but to bring her here to meet you, I think you two should go to the carriage to catch up. ”

"You kid, I really can't do anything about you, okay, I'll come when I go. Li Yuantong turned around and said hello to the guards inside the door, and then stepped forward and grabbed Miss Liu's hand and got into the carriage.

Inside the gate of the Shen Mansion, the old man in the green robe snorted lightly, and said in his heart that these people were not honest when they came out with the emperor, and they would have fun when they had the opportunity.

Li Yuantong got into the carriage and looked up, and caught a glimpse of Yangzhou prefect Lord Yi sitting in the car, not only was he surprised.

"Foreman Li, don't make a sound, you sit down, there is something important to discuss in this mansion. "The prefect of Yi said in detail about Shen Yilang's premeditated Gu tonight.

Li Yuantong was shocked after hearing this, and thought: "Master Yi, why don't you follow the humble post to the saint?"

"That will definitely startle the snake, and this government has come up with this plan to see you privately, just to prevent them from detecting, and we have to discuss a safe way. ”

"I also want to think about how to handle this matter without disturbing the emperor. ”

The two of them discussed quietly in the car.

After a while, a guard came over and knocked on the carriage and whispered, "Lord Li, the emperor is waiting for you to come over and serve." ”

Li Yuantong answered, and then drove the car door slowly, and sorted out the messy clothes casually, and the guard next to him pursed his mouth and was stealing fun.

Li Yuantong walked into the gate of the Shen Mansion and caught a glimpse of Yan He standing inside the door looking at the slowly departing carriage.

It was dark, the family banquet of the Shen Mansion officially began, and in the center of the rosewood round table sat a majestic old man, dressed in an azure cardigan coat, tied a lake blue belt, and wore a watermelon skin hat, which was the most popular ordinary attire among the people of the dynasty, and he was the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty today.

On the side sat a dignified and handsome man in his forties, this person was slightly blessed, wearing a silk robe and a rose-purple wide-sleeved horse coat, this person was the first-class loyal Xianggong foreman of the dynasty, the minister of military aircraft He Shen.

The next to accompany him was Shen Wancai, a big tea merchant in Yangzhou Prefecture, and his son Shen Yilang.

"Your Majesty, Yangzhou at this time coincided with one of the three fresh saury fish of the Yangtze River on the market, this fish tastes extremely delicious, once the Qingming bone is hard and hard is inferior, now the braised is the best, after the Qingming is only suitable for steaming. Due to the urgency of time, the grass people searched all over Yangzhou City, and finally found a two-pound swordfish king for the emperor to taste. Shen Wancai cautiously introduced.

"I have heard for a long time that the Yangtze River saury is delicious, especially the two-pound saury is rare, the emperor, this Yangzhou Mansion also has a must, that is, this 'three-headed banquet'. He Shen said on the side.

"Oh, you might as well talk to Aiqing and listen to it. Qianlong was interested.

"Huaiyang's famous 'three-headed feast' is to dismantle the braised silver carp head, grill the whole pig's head and crab roe lion's head. In particular, this crab roe lion head is made into balls by chopping the pork ribs into pomegranate granules, and when the fat on the surface of the meatballs has not completely dissolved after simmering and stewing over a slight fire, the lean meat is raised and rough like a lion's head, so it is called 'lion's head'. Song people poems: "But one belly with two crabs, there are really Yangzhou cranes in the world", and the eating crab roe lion head is described as 'riding a crane down to Yangzhou' happy as a fairy, which shows how delicious and attractive it is. ”

"He Aiqing has a deep study of food, so I want to try how to be happy like a fairy. Qianlong said with a smile.

"The emperor has won the award, the slave is just heard, and it must be a good fortune to accompany the emperor on his southern tour this time. ”

Qianlong's eyes swept over Shen Yilang and said, "Shen Wancai, I see that your son-in-law is quite extraordinary, I heard that he died of typhoid fever once, but is it true?"

"The emperor Mingjian, the dog did die of typhoid fever six years ago, and suddenly woke up when he was buried, otherwise the Shen family is really afraid that the incense will be cut off. ”

"I also heard that Ling Gongzi has passed the age of his establishment, and he has not yet married a wife, I don't know why?"

"Alas," Shen Wancai sighed, "This is what the grass people don't understand the most, to say that Ichiro's appearance and knowledge are also outstanding in Yangzhou City, and there are countless people who come to the door to propose relatives, but he just ignores it and breaks the hearts of the grass people." ”

"Your Majesty, grass people are born with a fear of marriage, so they have never planned to start a family. Shen Yilang replied.

In the front yard of the Shen Mansion, when Yan He was about to return to the inner hall, Li Yuantong came over to stop him and said embarrassedly: "I have a private meeting with Miss Liu this afternoon, please keep Master Yan secret for the time being, and don't spread it to the emperor's ears." ”

Yan He smiled and said, "Master Li, don't worry, Yan has always liked the beauty of sincerity and benevolence, and he will never do that annoying thing." ”

"I'm relieved. Li Yuantong smiled, patted Yan He's shoulder, and suddenly pinched his qi acupoint with a struggling hand.

Yan He was caught off guard, half of his body was numb when he wanted to be controlled, and he knew that the matter had been revealed, but he said: "Master Li, Yan doesn't say it, why are you working so hard, let go." ”

Li Yuantong's face turned pale, and his mouth was pressed to Yan He's ear and whispered: "Yan Or, you and Shen Yilang's affairs are in trouble, don't want to resist, if you stand on the emperor's side, maybe you can be exempted from the death penalty, how about you think about it?"

"Master Li, just kidding, Yan is just a nurse, I can't understand what you say. ”

"You don't cry when you don't see the coffin, right?" Li Yuantong waved his hand, and a guard immediately opened the gate of the Shen Mansion and walked in from the outside.

"Mo Er?" Yan He's face changed drastically.

"Yan Or," Mo Yan stepped forward and said, "Do you think that one finger of Tao Dao Cave can kill me, I have heard about you and Shen Yilang's plan to give the emperor Gu." ”

"How is it? Yan Or, have you figured out which side to stand on?"

"Alas," Yan He sighed, "the matter has come to this, of course, it is up to Lord Li." ”

"That's right. Li Yuantong pointed out like the wind, "snapping", connecting the dots of Yan or a few key points behind him.

In the restaurant, the guests and hosts chatted happily, and He Shen said to Qianlong with a slightly drunk face: "Your Majesty, this Shen Yilang doesn't look at him as if he has never married a wife, but he has another clever way to treat women. ”

"Then Shen Yilang will talk about it. Qianlong said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Shen Yilang cleared his throat, "Although the grass people are determined to not start a family, it does not prevent them from having fun with women. You like a girl who is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, if the skin is delicate and smooth, and the voice quality is clear. Where to deal with, when the emotion is faint, when the cold yin fluid under the tongue is slippery, gently scratch its right hypochondrium with her left hand, she can't hold it back, so that its essence is discharged, at this moment, the upper is tightly smacked on its tongue to suck its breath and liquid swallow, and the lower jade # stem sucks its yin # fine into the dantian, such as the water goes straight up, this is the water of the heavenly pool to Chu Yuanyang, according to the law can be sucked three times. If its yin is not real, then the turtle is less like enduring stool, and its yin # essence can be self-discharged, and it will be refreshed and healthy for a long time. ”

"Ichiro, don't be presumptuous in front of the emperor!" Shen Wancai hurriedly scolded.

"Your Majesty, the grass people also have a secret skill, which is this emerald green ring. ”

"Oh, what's different about this ring?" asked Qianlong curiously.

"This ring is called 'ruthless ring', the mystery is endless, wearing it can not only fight for a long time, but also make the girl throw herself into her arms, can the grass people come to the emperor to explain in detail. Shen Yilang took Shen Wancai's warning just now as a deaf ear.

Qianlong laughed: "Okay, if it really has this wonderful use, wouldn't I be like a fish in water in the palace, like a spring breeze?"

Shen Yilang took off the green ring on his finger: "Your Majesty, this ring has a secret warehouse" As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards Qianlong.

"Bold!" Suddenly, someone shouted at the door of the hall, and then Li Yuantong rushed over like lightning and crossed in front of Qianlong.

Qianlong was surprised: "Li Yuantong, why is this?"

"Your Majesty, this Shen Yilang wants to use this green ring to plot against the emperor, come on, quickly take down the traitor Shen Yilang!" Li Yuantong gave an order, and several Ouchi guards with swords immediately surrounded him.

At this moment, a trace of imperceptible uneasiness flashed on He Shen's face, but then he returned to normal, and he also shouted: "Escort!"

At this moment, Shen Wancai was already frightened, and his mouth stammered: "Ichiro, you, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yilang stood still and did not move, his face did not change: "The adults misunderstood, the grass people just want the emperor to appreciate the green ring, and they have no other intentions, how can they be rebellious?"

"Yes, I also want to see Shen Yilang's secret skills, so you guys should make a big fuss. Qianlong frowned dissatisfiedly.

"Don't get out of the way yet. He Shen scolded on the side.

"Bring Yan or come up. Li Yuantong beckoned.

Shen Yilang's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw two guards pressing Yan He into the hall, followed by Yangzhou Governor Yi Bingshou and the two subordinates, and couldn't help but be suspicious, isn't that kid Mo Er dead?

Yi Zhifu stepped forward and knelt down, and said in his mouth: "The minister's escort is late, please forgive the emperor." ”

"Yi Bingshou, what's going on?" Qianlong said sharply.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Shen Yilang died a few years ago, this is the thousand-year-old toad in the Slender West Lake borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul, last year he went to Xiangxi Phoenix City to find the six-fingered Gu Po Kuou and bought a green cantharid Gu worm, which was hidden in this jade ring, planning to take the opportunity to Gu the emperor at tonight's banquet. ”

"A thousand-year-old toad?" Qianlong looked at Shen Yilang, feeling a little unbelievable.

"Yi Zhifu, is there any evidence, otherwise you will know the consequences of disturbing the Holy Driver. He Shen warned.

"Back to the emperor, the lower officials have someone to testify that the Shen Mansion is here. ”
