Chapter 54 Wine and Wine Luminous Cup

Huo Erye seemed to have seen through Huo Sanniang's mind, and he was too lazy to show his excellent acting skills. He grabbed her, blinked his eyes and said submissively: "Hey, don't go. I won't say anything."

Huo Sanniang didn't believe it: "You really don't want to say anything?"

Huo Yuncheng laughed: "I really don't want to talk about it."

Bai Zeqing couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but curse in her heart: Second Master, can you stop gossiping like this!Don't interfere with my listening to the case.

She winked at Ban Xia, took a newly made tea from Ban Xia, handed it to Sanniang Huo carefully, and said flatteringly, "San Niang, tell me quickly, and then what?"

Huo Sanniang just sat down, took a sip of the tea cup, and continued: "Yin Duomi and his cronies were suppressed by our people in court. They went directly to the prison. Then, of course, it was a good interrogation." first instance."

Huo Yuncheng was stunned, and asked, "Who will interrogate? Wen Jinnuo?"

"With him? The imperial envoy Tangtang was beaten up by the prison head as soon as he arrived in Yuanzhou. I guess he probably didn't even dare to go to the prison. How can he interrogate? Don't worry, I asked Huo Yinxing to take our people to help the interrogation. Then The little goblin likes... um," Huo Sanniang glanced at Bai Zeqing, an outsider, and changed the word, "I'm good at torture, I'm not afraid that he won't open his mouth. And..."

Mrs. Huo San smiled slightly, and said: "Just after Yin Duomi was arrested, someone sent a hard evidence. Guess who it will be?"

Bai Zeqing cheered and said, "Who is it? Third lady, come and listen."

Huo Yuncheng put down the teacup and got up and walked towards the book case. While walking, he said shamelessly, "Accomplice, who else could it be? Is it Li Tongpan or Lu Jietui?"

"Second brother, you are really boring." Mrs. Huo San curled her lips and said, "It's Li Tongpan. Yin Duomi was arrested here, and Tongpan's mansion has already packed up and left the city. If it wasn't for my people secretly sending messages all the way , still can’t catch him. This person doesn’t even need to be interrogated. As soon as he was caught, he handed over the written affidavit, and confessed to the matter of exchanging moldy rice in Yushan warehouse for new rice and the matter of explosion and arson. The people involved, He has clearly explained everything about the food business, and he is willing to testify in court, just to save the life of his wife and only son."

Bai Zeqing nodded, without dipping his fingers in the tea, he drew casually on the tea table, and said: "In this way, the context of the black powder explosion and arson case and the Yushan warehouse grain corruption case is basically clear. The whereabouts of the rice grain should be The clues can also be found out. It is not difficult to interrogate the coolies captured by the warehouse in Bingshan. With the testimony of the voluntary confession, it will only be a matter of time before the truth comes out. Now only the death of Sun Zhengtong is left..."

"Speaking of this case," Huo Sanniang frowned slightly, "I have searched all over the streets, lanes, tiles and tiles of the person you drew, but I couldn't find any clues about him. Nuoda is a dollar In Zhoucheng, I can't even find a person who knows him, don't you think it's strange."

"What about the black market? Have you looked for it? Isn't the black market the most well-informed?"

"The rules of the black market: Don't ask about your identity, don't ask where you come from, and don't spread news. It's the same with people and things. Going to the black market to buy news is also buying news from outside. As long as it doesn't involve people who make a living in the black market Can."

"Then we'll find it ourselves."

Are you going to the black market?are you crazy?
"There is none outside. There is a high probability that it is in the black market. I will not be reconciled if I don't try my luck."

"Go if you want. Go after lunch." Huo Erye folded the good-quality Jinzhou rice paper and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat."

This time I didn't go to the pavilions and flower beds for dinner, but in the serious flower hall on the east side of Huo Yuncheng's courtyard.

A few people turned around the corridor and saw Zhou Qian and Nannan being led by the maid.

Zhou Qian still looked like he hadn't woken up, trying his best to yawn occasionally covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve.When I met the Huo family brothers and sisters, I still respectfully greeted them.

Nannan took Zhou Qian's hand and followed behind him step by step.The little girl in the tender pink jacket looks very well-behaved.Seeing Zhou Qian salute, he followed his example and called out in a childish voice: "Hello, Second Master, Hello, Third Lady, and Hello, Sister Bai."

"Oh, my daughter is so good," Huo Sanniang liked her very much when she saw her, and beckoned to her: "Come here, Sanniangzi will bring you something to eat."

The girl looked up and saw Zhou Qian nodded, so she obediently walked over and took Huo Sanniang's hand, so happy that Huo Sanniang couldn't see her eyes.

inside the house.

The mutton bone soup pot on the table of the Eight Immortals is steaming, and the cook is slicing fresh mutton and radishes on the long table not far away. Disperses the entire room.

A few people sat around a table, and as a whole plate of thin and long-cut mutton and white-cut radishes were poured into the pot, Bai Zeqing, who would never die without eating, was a beginner who had just tapped half a step between his toes. The scholar, swallowing his saliva involuntarily at this moment, suddenly felt very hungry and wanted to eat.

Sure enough, the true meaning of food is to enjoy the food itself, not just for survival.

Lamb is the most tender tenderloin part, extremely delicious.

The dipping material is made of sesame paste, fermented bean curd, soybean paste, coriander, chives, a small amount of plum juice, and maltose.It can perfectly cover up the smell of mutton, but also maintain the original fragrance of mutton.

Bai Zeqing drank half a bowl of soup first, then ate a few pieces of meat, and narrowed his eyes contentedly.

Huo Sanniang ate a few pieces and was very satisfied. Suddenly, she said "Aiya", as if she suddenly thought of something, she hurriedly called the maidservant, and ordered: "Let someone go to the ice cellar to fetch a jar of northern Xinjiang wine." The maidservant took the order When she was about to leave, she shouted again, "By the way, go to my yard and get some carved glass cups. The one that goes with wine is the best. Hurry up."

……

After drinking for three rounds, Bai Zeqing said with emotion: "Third lady, I am sincere, this iced wine served with mutton is really delicious in the world."

At this time, Nannan had already eaten, and there was fine sweat on her forehead, and she couldn't help saying "hmm." It seemed that she agreed with Bai Zeqing's words.

Huo Sanniang laughed at her: "My daughter hasn't even drunk, so how do you know that this wine goes well with mutton?"

Nannan smiled shyly, touched her swollen belly, and said in a childish voice: "Mutton, delicious."

Huo Yuncheng stopped his chopsticks a long time ago, and at this moment, he couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard Nannan's words, and said to Banxia: "Make some hawthorn and red fruit tea, and give the little girl some." .

At this time, the chef had already cleaned up the long table of slices of mutton, and the cook put grapefruits cut into the shape of blossoming peonies on the table.

"Wow, Yuzhou Wendan." Bai Zeqing's eyes sparkled. She also ate it once when she was in Jinzhou.This is the best grapefruit, and it was designated as a tribute in the third year of Chengtang.

Huo Sanniang took a piece and handed it to her daughter, seeing her honestly and obediently holding the small stutter, she couldn't help feeling more compassionate in her heart, and said to Bai Zeqing: "Hey, little lady of the Bai family, how about you sell this little girl to me?"
