When Zhou Guoping walked to the street alone, it was getting late.
Nanjing is the busiest time in the evening. Countless vendors will carry their burdens to the streets to make some food and sell them.
There are many pedestrians, but there are very few women. The women who can still walk on the street at this time are, if they are not hawkers, then some women from brothels.
He Cao and Zhang Biao were sitting at a stall selling ducks.
Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty liked to eat duck, and then the imperial chefs developed the dish of roast duck.
When Nanjing people eat roast duck, they pay attention to crispy skin and tender meat, fat but not greasy. Therefore, Nanjing roast duck has crispy skin and tender meat, and is not as fatty as roast ducks in other regions.
But the real connoisseurs are very picky about the bag of red braised pork served in the store.
Whether the roasted duck in the store is good or not can be guessed by looking at the appearance of the duck. But whether the roasted duck is right or not, you have to taste it with your tongue.
Nanjing people’s taste is sweet and sour, moderately salty.
The skill in preparing such a sauce is no worse than that of roast duck. When roasting duck in an open oven, the duck cavity must be filled with water. Grilled on the outside and boiled on the inside, once the duck meat is cooked, the juice will be fresh and tender.
Pour the fermented rice wine and honey stew into the soup while it is still hot, and top it with sugar, rice vinegar, and refined salt. Adding a drop of soy sauce is not a big deal, so the old stew in the red soup is authentic.
This kind of roast duck usually appears in large restaurants or wealthy families.
To eat roast duck, most people have no choice but to go to a duck shop that sells freshly roasted duck. Such shops usually have to be found deep in an alley.
The oven is made of clay, with charcoal simmering in it, and a circle of lake-cooked fat duck is hung on the wall. Guests can eat and take whatever they want, which is of course very convenient.
He Cao and Zhang Biao have been sitting here for a while. Neither of them has anything to say. As for what happened last night, they are still confused about what happened last night. They only remember that the two of them came from Huafang When I got off the train, I couldn't find the carriage, so I walked around in a daze at night. When I got to a warm place, I was ready to rest for a while. When I woke up, it looked like that.
The two of them don't care much about killing people. What makes them feel depressed is why the two of them became so animalistic because of two stupid country women. This is something they have never been able to figure out. things.
Can it be said that drunk people are really cowardly?
The two of them continued to drink wine, but the duck in front of them did not move at all.
When Zhou Guoping walked through the deep alley and came to this duck shop, He Cao and Zhang Biao both raised their heads and looked at Zhou Guoping. It has to be said that under the dim oil lamp, Zhou Guoping’s graceful figure It's really thought-provoking.
Zhang Biao covered his mouth that was missing three teeth and said to He Cao: "I believe that such a woman can bring out the bestiality in our brothers. The two stupid women in Shangjia have absolutely no chance of this. "
He Cao said: "WeCould the brother be killed by an adulterer? "
Zhang Biao nodded repeatedly, and the two people immediately began to search Guchang, looking for people who had a grudge against themselves.
"Store, half a duck and a corner of wine. "
Zhou Guoping's soft voice rang in the ears of the two of them, and they immediately forgot about finding an enemy. They watched Zhou Guoping lift up her long skirt and put her round buttocks on the stool.
The store owner is used to seeing such women and doesn't take it seriously. There are many beauties drinking wine to relieve their sorrows on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
Because there are only three customers. , the store quickly brought the cut duck and wine, as well as a plate of salted water chestnuts. Thinking that this beauty wanted to do business with the other two customers, he deliberately placed the dishes on the same table.
Nanjing people always complement each other in doing business. Since Beauty takes care of his business, he will naturally help others' business.
Zhou Guoping remained silent, lowering his head and eating the duck. While drinking, needless to say, my whole body was filled with a feeling of sadness.
“Beauty, what’s wrong today? Haven’t you seen our two brothers hurt so badly? However, our brothers treated you to this meal. "
Zhou Guoping kept her mouth shut and continued to eat her food slowly. When the duck was finished, she looked at Zhang Biao who was almost leaning on her and whispered: "Wang Ru The whole family died, why don't you die? ”
Zhang Biao was startled and wanted to get up. A sharp bamboo chopstick had already pierced his temple. At the same time, the small and heavy jujube wood stool under Zhou Guoping’s buttocks had already He Cao was hit on the head with a click, and the two strong men fell to the ground like sacks. Zhou Guoping picked up the remaining half of the wine and drank it in one gulp. Then she put down half a tael of silver on the table and said to the frightened shopkeeper: "They I killed Wang Ruda's family and I am here to avenge them today. Just report it to the official. ”
Zhou Guoping walked for a long time, and the store owner was still stunned. There was food and drink just now, but the two living people turned into two corpses in an instant, one with his head pierced by chopsticks. , the other one was smashed with a stool so much that his brains flowed out.
After doing these things, Zhou Guoping specially sold a duck to Zhao Xiuqin at another roast duck stall, which is what ladies usually do. There is a rule of not eating after lunch. This group of women in Yushan Academy who think they are all ladies will die without midnight snacks!
The government officials hurried past her while beating gongs, shouting " Kill people, kill people, catch the female thief! ”
Zhou Guoping walked through the alley calmly, and the Dichen Pavilion Medical Center was right in front of her.
The name of this medical center was chosen by Zhao Xiuqin herself, which means that once the disease arrives The medical center is just dust on people's bodies, and she is the expert who dusts it off.
The corner door was not closed, and there was still light in the house on the left. Zhou Guoping smiled slightly and closed the door. Passing by Zhao Xiuqin's window, he gently placed the roast duck wrapped in lotus leaves in front of the window without any notice.She, she knows exactly where the food is.
As soon as she returned to the room, she heard the sound of Zhao Xiuqin opening the window and her cheers of surprise. Zhou Guoping finished washing and lay on her bed, feeling at peace.
This is the work efficiency cultivated by Yushan Academy. Everything is carried out according to the plan discussed by everyone, and nothing goes wrong when doing things. Just like the assassination of He Cao and Zhang Biao this time, on the surface, She was the only one up, but in fact, there must be people following her around. Zhou Guoping was very sure of this and would not feel any panic in her heart.
He Cao’s purpose in killing Zhang Biao was to inform Shi Kefa of the murder of Wang Ruda and his family!
This is the formal way.
When someone kills someone in Nanjing, there is naturally a torture room in the sixth room of the government office to handle the matter. The head of the torture room is Chen Zilong, so half an hour later, Chen Zilong saw the bodies of He Cao and Zhang Biao.
After carefully questioning the owner of the roast duck stall, Chen Zilong keenly discovered that there might be another reason for Zhang Biao's death.
The female thief kills in revenge. As long as you find out who she is avenging, you can find out who this female thief is.
And He Cao was from Shangyuan County, and Zhang Biao was from Jiangning County.
Then, Chen Zilong went to Shangyuan County and asked the Shangyuan County Magistrate about He Cao's death. After asking about the situation, I will go to Jiangning County to ask about Zhang Biao.
Thus, things went the way he should go, and the rest was just a matter of smooth sailing.
"Li Hongji invited the county magistrate to meet at Shanyang Road."
Yang Xiong held a document beside Yun Zhao and said.
“No!”
Yun Zhao’s words were concise and to the point.
"Li Hongji invites the world's heroes to gather in Xiangyang this time for major industrial and commercial affairs, and his ambitions are not small."
"We are officials, not thieves."
Yun Zhao still refused. Mixing with Li Hongji at this moment would only make the emperor treat him as a priority, which was not a good thing. Moreover, Yun Zhao made up his mind to wait until Li Hongji swept the world before taking action.
"Li Hongji also warned all the heroes in the world that if he does not participate in the alliance this time, he will not act like brothers in the future."
"He is arrogant and doomed to fail. "
"Your Majesty, Li Hongji's minimum requirement for us is to send our second master to participate in the alliance to discuss the plan of dividing the world."
Yun Zhao looked at Yang Xiongdao. : "In our family, it seems that I am the second in charge, and the eldest in charge is my mother!"
"The Secretary Superintendent, after discussing with the Secretary for Administration, believes that it is appropriate for Yunhu to participate in the alliance."
"Go away, this is to hand Uncle Hu over to Li Hongji as a hostage. If you don't go, we are not bandits and we will not participate. If he dares to invade, don't blame us for tearing up the previous non-interference agreement and dealing with him with all our strength."
"Since the county minister has spokenIf you refuse, we will discuss a suitable document and convey it to Li Hongji, so that he will not take risks. "
"It's useless. Guanzhong is now a huge stone in their hearts. They don't dare to rush eastward until Guanzhong is captured. This alliance is not so much about gathering the heroes of the world. , it is better to say that the host and guest are your county and me.
I wrote back and told Li Hongji that he was far away from me in Guanzhong, so don’t say he was unpredicted. "
After Xu Wuxiang, who came to Yushan for business, witnessed Yun Zhao's actions, he sighed and said, "Why is the county magistrate so ruthless? "
Yun Zhao glanced at Xu Wuxiang and said: "Standing, standing is very important. Don't move once you have established your footing. "
Xu Wuxiang said with a smile: "Are we on the same side as the emperor? "
Yun Zhaodao: "You and I are on the same side. As for whether we are on the same side as the emperor, it depends on whether the emperor changes his position. ”
Xu Wu thought: “Our large-scale migration of people to Ningxia Town has shocked the world. Not only the emperor is worried, but even Li Hongji is very dissatisfied with our actions. I don’t know what the county officials think.” Treat this matter? "
Yun Zhao glanced at Xu Wu and thought: "What are you going to do? "
Xu Wu thought: "If the county magistrate is worried that our people will become hostages if they go to Li Hongji's place, why not just let me, an unknown person, go. Between the emperor and Li Hongji, we always have to choose Close to one end.
Yun Zhao smiled, patted Xu Wuxiang's shoulder and said: "I don't have any unknown people in Lantian County. Let's drop this matter and don't mention it again. Lantian County is here and I have never wandered around. I It depends on what they can do with me!
Xu Wu thought, since we have become a leader, we should have the consciousness and responsibility of being a leader. Without this consciousness, how can we be leaders? ”
