Crowned with Pearls

  The sky cleared up, and the flowers and plants washed by the rain looked extraordinarily alive. Su Yao sat on the bed, rubbed her temples, and nodded with a smile.

  Because Su Yao hadn't eaten for a day and a night, what Shen's mother prepared was gruel and side dishes.

But even though it’s just porridge, there are many varieties. There are beef porridge, sauerkraut porridge, and vegetable and chicken porridge. They are all cooked to bloom, thick and delicious. Shen’s mother served Su Yao a bowl of vegetable and chicken porridge. : "You like to drink porridge with side dishes since you were a child. I thought about cooking some porridge for you yesterday. Try it. Is it the same as when you were a child?"

When they were young, Master Shen and Mrs. Shen always had to go out to collect bills. Only Su Yao and his younger brother were left at home. Because Shen Jiayan was so clingy to her, he often refused to let her go to eat. She suffered from stomach pains. Once she broke her tooth, the doctor told her to eat liquid food for a while, so she drank porridge every day.

   Fortunately, Shen's mother loves her so much that even if she can only eat porridge, she will make it different for her every day.

  She took a sip of the chicken porridge, and smiled at Shen's mother in surprise: "It really tastes like the one I ate when I was a child! How did my mother make it? I used to make it in the capital, but it didn't taste like this."

  Happiness after a great disaster is always worth cherishing.

Seeing her happy, Shen's mother smiled and explained: "It's not because of the porridge. The porridge is cooked in the same way, nothing special. It's today's side dishes, a few side dishes that you have always liked before, cold seaweed shreds, spicy Shredded chicken is rare in Beijing. It is impossible for our family to afford it, but the taste is still different after all. The kelp here is fresh, and there are also Western Chinese prickly ash, so after mixing it, the taste is almost the same as when I was a child.”

  The Shen family is a merchant, and they used to have some new things from time to time.

  The two talked for a while unconsciously, and the sky completely darkened.

  Because she slept all day during the day, Su Yao couldn't sleep at night. She read for a while, thought for a while, and told Mother Shen: "Go and call Liujie and Sansheng over. I have something to ask them."

  Mother Shen felt a little distressed: "It's already so late."

   "I can't sleep anyway." Su Yao smiled at Shen's mother: "I've had enough sleep during the day, don't worry, I'm fine."

  Since Su Yao said so, Shen's mother had no choice but to nod.

  Jing Ping hurriedly served Su Yao, changed his clothes, and went to the yard outside.

  There were no traces of fighting in the yard, as if the casualties had never been seen. Su Yao stood for a while, and then Sansheng and Liujie came over with lanterns. When they saw Su Yao, they hurriedly saluted and said hello.

  Su Yao stopped, raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought about it, Zhou Zhengshan might still be able to win over."

  Today, Sansheng and Liujie are busy interrogating those pirates and traitors.

Hearing what Su Yao said, the two of them looked at each other, and it was Liu Jie who spoke first: "Your Highness, we have interrogated General Zhou, and he didn't have any intention of speaking. Later, we used his tribe and family to threaten him, I don't see him willing to confide in anything."

  Clearly at the beginning, Zhou Zhengshan reacted very violently to Su Yao's statement that he would destroy the Nine Clans, but for some reason, his attitude changed a lot after a day.

  Su Yao lowered his eyes: "If his wife and children don't work, then try something else."

   Anything else?

   Liu Jie frowned and was puzzled: "If even his wife and children can't shake him, how can he bow his head for other things?"

  Su Yao smiled softly: "If it's possible, you have to give it a try."

  She whispered a few words to Liu Jie.

   Liu Jie and San Sheng were a little at a loss. They didn't know how Su Yao would make such an arrangement, but since Su Yao said so, they both agreed, and the two quickly withdrew.

  Zhou Zhengshan is gritting his teeth and enduring the pain. Today he was injured in a fight. Although Su Yao sent a doctor to show him, he still didn't take the medicine and kept carrying it.

   I survived two interrogations today.

  He leaned against the wall tiredly, panting heavily, thinking that during the interrogation Liujie and Sansheng hinted that he would exterminate the clan, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

  If it is true, it will come to that step.

  Thinking of his wife, daughter, son, and parents, he clenched his fists.

  At this moment, he suddenly heard a few whispered conversations from the side.

   Talking is fine, after all, this is a place where prisoners are held, and there will always be people talking, but this time is special because the speaker is speaking in Japanese.

   It’s Japanese pirates!

  Zhou Zhengshan frowned, and heard a person lower his voice and say, "We just fell for the tricks of these big Zhou people, they are too cunning!"

   "I think so too." The other person also replied in Japanese, paused for a moment and said: "We can't make it easy for them. Fortunately, the master is smart, and let some people who entered the city hide in the city at that time, and did not come in."

Zhou Zhengshan naturally knew the whole plan, so he couldn't help but frowned. In the plan, they had to deal with Su Yao from the beginning to the end, and what they wanted was the life of the concubine, so he was admonishing the Qin family. Please don't hurt ordinary people.

   Master Qin also agreed.

   It turns out that the head of the Qin family has left behind, and those Japanese pirates are hiding in the city

  The next door was quiet for a while, and suddenly the conversation started again: "When the time comes to go out for interrogation, let's use the excuse that we have something to explain, and send a signal to let the people hiding in the city kill them!"

  Zhou Zhengshan was suddenly startled.

   These Dongying rogues are different from ordinary Japanese pirates. They are more difficult to deal with than ordinary soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Generally speaking, they can basically stand up to ten soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

  If they are allowed to face civilians, it is hard to imagine what the consequences will be.

  But when he went to listen again, there was no movement next door.

  He didn't know who those two people were.

  The important thing is, with his current identity, will anyone believe what he says?

   But if you don’t say it, then those Japanese pirates will be rampant in the city. Of course, these high-ranking people will not suffer any damage, but ordinary people will suffer.

  Think about it, they avoided the initial disaster, but now they have to suffer from such an innocent disaster.

   Zhou Zhengshan fell into a huge struggle for a while.

   Do you want to invite them to tell Su about the news they have heard?

  But if it is said, wouldn’t it be right and wrong?

  He thought a little too far, and when it was almost dawn, he slapped himself suddenly to wake himself up.
