Chapter 72 The hero who saves beauty

People in the hot summer have been surviving day by day, and they have finally come to the beginning of autumn, but no sycamore leaves have fallen, the sun is still very strong, the cicadas are still dry, and the mats are still sticking to their backs when they get up. Post autumn fat".

After a few more days, I entered the Mofu, the sky was cloudy, and there was a little wind, and finally it seemed to have a little "autumn". Shen Shaoguang came alive and announced that she was going to eat "pancake stall eggs".

And ask for a lot, the cake should be thicker, there should be seven or eight layers of flesh inside, no thin spring cakes, no dough, no meat filling, no salt and pepper, no pickled toon sprouts, and a lot of chopped green onion... ...for the egg roll flatbread, those are "heretics", and the flatbread should be baked with only salt and oil, so as not to rob the taste of the rolled object.

Yu San made her laugh angrily: "Do you only put salt in fried chicken? Or only stir-fry egg whites and egg yolks?"

Shen Shaoguang made fun of the poor mouth in the Internet age: "Eggs and chopped green onions are the perfect match, and scrambled eggs without chopped green onions have no soul."

Yu San "ha", the soul...

Shen Shaoguang thought for a while, "It's also good to roll kebabs with flatbreads, roll fried small meatballs, fried quail eggs, fried eggplant zygotes... Well, fry some small fish and shrimp, it's crispy and crispy. In fact, ours Braised pig ears and braised pig face meat are also very suitable to be eaten in a roll."

Yu San didn't even have "heh" anymore.

In fact, Shen Shaoguang slipped his lips for a while, seeing the expression of the third princess, he hurriedly stopped: "It's still rolled eggs, rolled eggs..."

A Yuan and A Chang laughed.

Shen Shaoguang felt that he had no dignity as a proprietress.

At noon, Shen Shaoguang ate everything from her flatbread rolls, and successfully ate it, and when he was eating, he was seen by early diners, who also ordered one, and then passed on one by one, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty It was also an authentic Last Fu day - "Toufu dumplings, Erfu noodles, Sanfu flatbread with eggs."

Seeing that the diners in the hall were holding burritos that were thicker than their arms, or eating gently or roughly, Yu San really lost his temper. You want to say that when you eat spring cakes in spring, you want to eat something fresh. Now, there are all kinds of meat, eggs, and vegetables on the flatbread. What’s so special about it? As for what?

Behind the counter, Shen Shaoguang smiled and looked at the guests who were brought in by him. His eyes swept over someone who was very elegant and calm, and he thought of Lin Shaoyin. He didn't know what Lin Shaoyin, who was holding a big cake and nibbling on the bright moon, was what kind of scene?

Lin Shaoyin seems to be a little busy these days, often after dinner, the small restaurant is about to close and come to sit for a while. Shen Shaoguang guessed that he was busy with the Emperor's Autumn Festival and the rumors in Beijing. When people came at this time, Shen Shaoguang couldn't make everything on the flatbread, no matter how unpleasant he was, so he had to steam a bowl of honey milk eggs, or even put peach buttermilk directly.

The years were quiet in the small wine shop, but the atmosphere outside was rather tense. heard that a lot of toads died in the northwest of the city, and the people in Beijing were talking about it; the price of rice grains in the grain shop increased more and more, and some rice grain stores were only open for half a day, and they posted out of stock notices. Post, some people were afraid that they would not be able to buy food, so there was a long queue at the gate of the food store. Shen Shaoguang saw the scene of robbing salt in his previous life in a trance.

A Yuan asked, "Little lady, shall we save more rice? I heard people say 'Bingxu is hot and difficult, Dinghai is difficult', isn't this year the year of Bingxu? Will something happen next year? Will there really be nothing to eat?"

Shen Shaoguang had stocked up some rice grains in the back barn when the rumors first started, enough for the small wine shop for two months, but now he is not in a hurry - the court should be able to settle this matter in two months. Bar? If it is not balanced, it is almost time for chaos. It is useless to hoard more food, but it will bring disaster.

Shen Shaoguang comforted A Yuan: "Silly boy, why are there so many unpredictable prophets? Although it is hot this year, the rain is not bad. I heard from the fish seller Qu Dalang that the summer grain harvest is okay, and the autumn grain should not be a problem, so don't worry. into the stomach."

A Yuan listened to what the little lady said was reasonable, and then ignored it; A Chang didn't care about everything, and only listened to the little lady; she asked Shen Shaoguang when she was stocking up more than half a month ago, see you now As the little lady said, the price of food rose in Jingli, shaking his head, and got into the kitchen to do his own business.

On the last day of Mofu, there was a thin rain outside, accompanied by a little wind, which was very comfortable and cool.

Yu San, who was always indifferent, looked at the sky and said something rare: "It's raining for a while and it's cold."

Shen Shaoguang laughed, this is autumn rain? Guaranteed sunny or hot dogs.

Yu San glanced at her, and Shen Shaoguang quickly took it away. Yu San remembered what she said two days ago about "posting autumn fat", and suddenly said: "This fat can be posted today."

It can be seen that today's cool rain was really welcomed by the third princess. In order to make the third princess happy, Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "The butcher is here to see if there is any pork knuckle, and I will stew the pork knuckle for you."

Let Shen Shaoguang say, there really are elbows today, fat, big and fresh, Shen Shaoguang left both elbows.

While the pork knuckles were being cleaned, the outside Fang Ding knocked on the gong, and posted court notices at the entrance of the Fang and the intersection of the main street in the Fang. Soak the elbows in water, Shen Shaoguang washed his hands, put on an umbrella and went out to see.

ho! He even caught the prophecy rumor maker!

The instigators were Taoist priests of Xuanzhenguan. This Guanzhu Qingxu was a "Gao Shi" who came down from Zhongnan Mountain. He made up prophecies, let his disciples spread it out, and sent people medicine to kill frogs in an attempt to stir people's anxiety. According to his disciples, the next step is to put medicine in the well and use the nightmare method to create disaster labor.

"It turned out to be him!" The onlookers were in an uproar.

Shen Shaoguang couldn't squeeze in front, so he listened to popular science in the back.

"Looking at the immortal style, I didn't expect such a person! Too often Lu Shaoqing banquets, and he is the guest of honor. This Taoist priest seems to be familiar with many ministers."

"You don't know, this Guanyu is an old house donated to him by the governor of Han."

In addition to popular science, more is scolding.

"This dog Taoist is really not a thing! For his own selfish interests, he even tried to create disasters!"

"It's not wrong to catch them all and chop them up. People are panicking these days, and it turns out that they are the ones who made the ghosts."

"God damn it, what a delay! To tell you the truth, I haven't even got any new products in, so I'm thinking about taking my family back to Shannan Road for refuge."

Some people also thought of the emperor, "Thanks to His Majesty's holy candlelight, I have the blessing of God in Tang Dynasty, and these small tricks can't succeed."

Naturally, there are others who are more clear, "Behind is the seal of Jingzhao, Jingzhao has done a good job this time!"

"Jingzhao Shaoyin lives in our workshop. That gentleman looks so suave. Who would have thought that he was a strong and courageous man..."

Shen Shaoguang listened to all kinds of comments and went back, then cleaned up her pork knuckle.

From Shen Shaoguang's point of view, that neighbor, who praised Lin Shaoyin, should probably be right. Because Lin Shaoyin's boss, Jingzhao Bai, is a famous old fried dough stick. A while ago, the uncle of the Chu family came and was drunk. He also talked about the old story of this "old friend", and said that he had been seeking foreign positions all these years in order to stay away from the disputes between the DPRK and China, but he was brought back and put in trouble of Jingzhao.

This prophecy case was silent at first, and then it took the famous "Gao Shi" among the gentry like a storm in one fell swoop. Such a resolute and iron fist should not be done by the old fritters, and even more, Lin Shaoyin did this, not He knew how much he had to talk to Bai Fu Yin Fei. And this announcement of "enacting the knowledge"... Shen Shaoguang remembered what Lin Shaoyin said that day.

"That Lang Jun looks so suave, who would have thought that he was a strong and courageous person..." Yes, there is a sense of keeping his word.

It's just that what the notice said seems to be inaccurate and untrue. A bunch of Taoist priests have so much energy to disturb the capital? Fei is so troublesome, risking beheading, just to sell some talismans to earn fame and make money? It doesn't quite fit criminal economics.

Shen Shaoguang shook his head, and replaced the pork knuckle with a basin of clean water.

Because don’t go to the banquet, only eat it at home. Both pork knuckles are chopped into pieces, which saves time and trouble when cooking, which is delicious and easy to color.

Seeing that the elbow meat is almost soaked, blanch it in a pot with cold water to remove impurities and blood, boil it for a while, then remove it and control it to dry.

Put oil in the frying pan, put a lot of sugar, and see that the sugar is bubbling, then put the blanched pork in, stir fry, then put some clear sauce and rice wine, throw in the onion ginger, cinnamon and dried tangerine peel and other spices sack, and simmer.

Smelling the rich aroma of meat in the kitchen, Shen Shaoguang looked out from the open window. The rain seemed to be a little dense. Under the eaves, A Yuan was feeding the wild cats. The little ones didn't seem to be very hungry. Shuji was considered elegant, and Shen Shaoguang suddenly felt a sense of happiness. Social stability is good, would rather be a cat in a prosperous world than a person in a troubled world.

Shen Shaoguang thought about the rice grains in his warehouse again. It seemed that he had stocked up too much. If he knew that Lin Shaoyin was so fast, he could have bought less. In such weather, the rice grains are easy to get moldy...

Lin Yan came up at the end of the lunch again, but luck was really good, because Lady Shen had a restriction on A Yuan and A Chang, there was still a bowl of elbow meat in the casserole, so Lin Shaoyin ate the meat cooked by Lady Shen herself. meal.

With a bowl of fragrant rice, a plate of crispy pork belly, and several plain dishes such as lily parsley, crystal shrimp cakes, and stir-fried lettuce, Lin Yan ate very sweetly.

Shen Shaoguang came to ask: "Do you want to eat winter melon and meat ball soup, or vegetable tofu soup?"

Lin Yan said with a smile, "Let's have a green vegetable tofu soup."

Shen Shaoguang nodded: "Add some minced bacon, it has a taste." Just as he was about to turn away, he heard Lin Shaoyin ask: "The meat today seems to have a slightly different taste from the past."

Shen Shaoguang turned around again, "Really?"

From the look on her face, he knew that he had guessed correctly. Lin Yan raised the corners of his mouth, "It's delicious."

The few words that were obviously nothing, but Shen Shaoguang seemed to hear some affection, and coughed lightly: "Then eat more and stick to autumn fat, hehe."

"Okay." Lin Yan smiled.

Shen Shaoguang turned around and went back to the kitchen to make soup. She found that her willpower blood bar dropped extremely fast when she faced Lin Shaoyin...

After hearing Lin Shaoyin say "delicious", Ah Yuan, who was sitting behind the counter peeling beans, said, "That's right!" The little lady cooked it herself, how is it? Yu Saburo is better at fish and sheep. Ah Yuan hates and hates, the little lady clearly said that this pot of elbow meat is not entertaining, and also said that the meat in the pot is reserved for me to eat at night... Liar!

Shen Shaoguang came out with the vegetable and tofu soup, and Lin Yan was almost full.

Shen Shaoguang gave him a small bowl of soup, thinking of the morning, "This morning, a notice was posted in the workshop, saying that the person who spread the rumors has been caught. It's good."

"The Taoist priest held it, and the trial also found some things, but—" Because of the long conversation last time, Lin Yan did not hide it from her, "This case is not that simple." ".

Shen Shaoguang understood what he meant. The first priority in the land of Gyeonggi is stability. We little people, isn't what we ask for is peace? Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "I said that day when I said that the world is clean and the river is clear, and Chang'an is prosperous and peaceful, it is not a perfunctory. It is really a blessing to be under the rule of all of you."

Meeting her sincere gaze, Lin Yan paused for a while before saying, "Thank you."

It was raining outside, the three-flowered cat was sleeping soundly in the house, and A Yuan was beeping and peeling the beans behind the cabinet, and it was peaceful.

The heat of Mofu was already at the end of the battle. It was July, and it was raining for days, and the innocence cooled down. In the autumn rain, Shen Ji has entered the "flower cake season" again. With the signboard of Tanhualang flower cake, this year's Qixi flower cake orders are particularly large.

For this autumn rain, people who are easy to sympathize say that the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky is crying, and a scholar wrote "Cui Mei Er · Qixi Festival". Flower cake, I feel the story of cowgirls, so I pretend to write this article."

"...I haven't had time to tell my goodbye, see you again after many years, and leave people with a lot of hatred. I hope that we will be together in two places, Xiaoxiaoyu, and the wind will travel far and wide."

Shen Shaoguang sighed with emotion, what a sad word. He personally took the pen and ink and asked this scholar to write it on the poem wall.

After learning to write by herself, A Yuan was more sensitive to words, and asked Shen Shaoguang to explain what was written, and Shen Shaoguang explained it to her.

A Yuan shook his head: "This Cowherd is not a good person for coercing Zhi Nu! Now I just hope that Zhi Nu's nasty disease will be cured soon."

Shen Shaoguang: "..."

Shen Shaoguang reflected on whether he had murdered A Yuan's young girl's heart, and he would be more relaxed in the future.

Shen Shaoguang didn't know that his nonsense had entered another person's ears.

Lin Shaoyin was still busy, most of the wine shops were about to close, so he came to sit for a while, and then left after eating a bowl of fruit and buttermilk. Shen Shaoguang reckoned that although the prophecy and rumors case had caught people, there must be a lot of follow-up matters, not to mention the emperor's Mid-Yuanqiu sacrifice. This year is the first emperor's birthday, and today he will go to the emperor's mausoleum to worship in person. When the emperor leaves the capital, the movement is naturally not small. No one can be idle in the three provinces, six departments, nine temples, five supervisors in Jingzhao, and the prefectures along the way.

Only once in a while he came in the middle of the afternoon, and the four of them were working overtime to make flower cakes.

In order to enrich the variety of flower cakes, Shen Shaoguang made several sets of molds, including the Cowherd and Weaver Girl. The original ones were a bit too big, and the cakes made were easy to break.

Looking at the Cowherd and Weaver Girl cake with the new mold, Lin Yan seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to ask Shen Shaoguang, who was about to take the tray away: "Isn't this kind of unscrupulous person a good match? Why did he make a new one? "

Shen Shaoguang looked at him, didn't he? Omniscient? Or just a coincidence?

Seeing her expression, Lin Yan laughed, but after laughing, he said, "You're right, this Cowherd is the perfect match."

Shen Shaoguang: "..." Unable to hold back, he also laughed.

In contrast, Shao Langjun, who met the same scene, was much cuter than Lin Shaoyin, and he still came with a gift - the flower cake from Guixiang Garden. Small festive gifts, polite and considerate.

Besides, Shao Langjun can really speak, looking at the stacks of flower cake boxes and the four-person battle, he exaggeratedly said, "Little lady's business is so good here, I'm jealous!"

Shen Shaoguang grinned, stopped, cooked tea himself, put his own flower cakes and the flower cakes brought by Shao Jie on a plate, and had tea and snacks with him.

Shao Jie really likes to chat with this little lady Shen, but unfortunately the other party is a woman, so she has to avoid it.

"I finally finished my stay at the flower cake shop, and now I'm going to the food shop." Shao Jie told Shen Shaoguang of his current situation.

From offline products to online - is this a promotion? Shen Shaoguang smiled, but thinking about the large grain shops in the east and west markets of the Shao family, it is said that there are special grain transport boats on the river, so it should be a promotion.

Shen Shaoguang asked with a smile: "With Shao Langjun's shrewdness and ability, can he manage the grain shop very well?"

Shao Jie said with a complacent smile: "It's really okay." Then he added, "But it's mainly Jingzhao Mansion that helps."

What's the matter with Jingzhao Mansion? Shen Shaoguang was surprised.

"There have been rumors outside a while ago. Besides the toad, didn't they say 'Bingxu is hot, Dinghai is difficult'? Many grain merchants took the opportunity to hoard and drive up grain prices, and many went to Jiangnan and other places to raise grain. Yes, who wants to post a notice on Jingzhao, and it will be dawn."

Shen Shaoguang nodded: "Shao Langjun must be the one who didn't hoard and drive up food prices."

Shao Jie said with a smile: "That's natural. A certain generation is from Chang'an, so there is some courage."

Shen Shaoguang nodded: "Exactly!"

Both foxes laughed.

Shao Jie smiled and said, "They are too greedy for money, otherwise they wouldn't be able to see clearly."

Shen Shaoguang nodded again, "Money is charming."

"Little lady is not from our rice grain business. I'm afraid I don't know. After the notice was posted, there were still several big grain merchants who wanted to carry it. Jingzhao directly opened a Changping warehouse to sell cheap grain..."

Shen Shaoguang nodded, this kind of calmness... very familiar.

"Not only that, Jingzhao House also convened rice and grain merchants to discuss major events in the industry, commended us 'yi merchants', and selected Zhou Ruogu, the head of the Zhou family's old grain shop, as the 'head of the line'," said here, Shao Jie smiled, "There is also a 'Zori' in the district."

Shen Shaoguang hurriedly congratulated him.

Shao Jie smiled and waved: "When I become the head of the line, it won't be too late to congratulate the little lady."

Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "Shao Langjun can't expect to eat a fat man in one bite. Besides, Langjun is too young to eat a fat man in one bite."

Shao Jie laughed.

After he finished laughing, Shen Shaoguang sighed: "So, those who are hoarding and hoarding have lost face and sanity again."

Shao Jie nodded: "I've been terrified for a while now. Losing some money is a small matter, and I can always turn around, so I'm afraid that Jingzhao will remember them. Cheng Shiling looks at them wrong." The government official responsible for market business transactions is the immediate boss of the merchants.

"On the other hand, the governor of Jingzhaobai, who only showed one side, is still kind, while Lin Shaoyin is always solemn and quiet."

Shen Shaoguang nodded. Grain is the lifeblood of the national economy and people's livelihood. After such an administrative and economical means of rectification, the rice and grain trade can stop for a long time, right? Jingzhao, a good way.

Shen Shaoguang was just chatting with friends about these "meat eaters", and after a while, her main energy was on the flower cake business. By the afternoon of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the large orders for flower cakes had all gone out, and Shen Ji and the others could finally rest for a while.

Looking at the slanting wind and drizzle outside, Shen Shaoguang rubbed his sore hands, and said with a smile, "Isn't it annoying just by smelling the flower cake? Shall we eat something else at night? Eel silk How about cold scouring? Or dry and stir-fried eel?" The back kitchen has a small half-bucket of eel.

Because like to eat eel silk coldly today, it has brought many noble people in Beijing to love this bite. As soon as summer begins, the price of eel will increase. But when autumn is established, the palace pays attention to the seasons, so there is no need to eat cold scourers, and eels are also cheaper, and the common people can enjoy it.

A Yuan thought about it for a while: "Let's do it cold." The cold eel silk made by the little lady was so delicious.

Achang also nodded, and Yu San was obliged to clean up the flower cake mold there.

In the evening, due to the weather and festivals, there were very few customers in the store, only about ten people, of which five or six had familiar faces, and there was another table with five raw faces.

The regular guests came early, and the five raw-faced guests came after they were blackened. Hearing Shen Shaoguang say that there are excellent eels, one of the strangers asked, "Can you make shredded eel in vinegar?"

The other, who seemed to be the leader of the five, frowned and said nothing.

Shen Shaoguang smiled apologetically: "That's not the case. Would you like to try the dried eel section? It's crispy and fragrant, and it's just right for drinking."

Hearing her say "no", the one in the lead loosened his brows: "Then let's cook the eel, and then pick up a few dishes that you are good at in your store."

Shen Shaoguang reported the names of several signature dishes, and then asked what wine he wanted.

The man shook his head.

Shen Shaoguang said with a smile, "Guests will be waiting for you", turned around, wrinkled his nose, returned to the kitchen, and reported the menu to Yu San.

Although these guests did not drink alcohol, they ate very late. Shen Shaoguang sent off the other two regular guests, and went back to the kitchen to make his own dinner. While slicing the eel silk with a small blade, he frowned slightly. Several guests outside... Shen Shaoguang felt that his delusions of persecution had become serious again.

"The little lady in the store—" the customer outside called.

Shen Shaoguang agreed loudly, "Come on!"

"What orders do the guests have?" Shen Shaoguang asked with a smile.

But he didn't want the diners sitting on the edge to suddenly stand up and buckle Shen Shaoguang's shoulders.

Shen Shaoguang has been doing physical work all year round and is very flexible. In addition, he was somewhat subconsciously guarded, but he made a mistake and avoided the next step.

A Yuan, who was cleaning up the dishes over there, burst out with a reaction speed that did not match her body shape. The two plates swayed the soup and attacked the diners. The rest of the diners also moved, and Yu San and Achang in the kitchen also came out when they heard the movement, and there was a chaotic fight.

The target of these five people was obviously Shen Shaoguang, and Yu San blocked her for a while, "Run!" As he said, the big knife that chopped ribs in his hand swirled and slashed one person's neck, and that person fell down.

Shen Shaoguang knew that he was a hindrance, so he ran out obediently, shouting "there are thieves" as he ran, but today's weather was bad and it was a little late, the shops next to him were closed, and there were no pedestrians on the street. people come.

Achang took a rolling pin to help, but was kicked down on the wall by one of the thieves. The thief was about to stab Achang with his sword, but was smashed on the head by Ayuan with a big soup can. .

The one headed by the five thieves and the other eagle-nosed protruded over the three sides, the eagle-nosed clasped Shen Shaoguang's shoulder, and the leader put the sword on her neck: "Don't move!"

Yu San, A Yuan, and A Chang did not dare to move any more.

The three thieves held Shen Shaoguang back to the inside of the lobby where they were sitting, followed by Yu San and three people, confronting them.

Shen Shaoguang smiled dryly: "Several heroes, talk about something, it's not worth it. If you are short of money, you can take it away from the cabinet. If it is not enough, there is still some in the back house." He greeted again, "A Yuan, A Yuan, go. Bring the silver box from the back house!"

"Don't move!" The thief removed his sword, put his arm around Shen Shaoguang's neck, and shouted in a low voice.

Shen Shaoguang was strangled and coughed twice: "Lang Jun is lighter, and you have something to say. You strangled me, everyone died, and the net was broken. Is it worth it?"

The thief's head really loosened up.

Shen Shaoguang knew that he really wanted something, and it was not purely anti-social. He should not tear up the votes for a while.

"Let your men drop the knife and stick!" the thief demanded.

Shen Shaoguang stood up as a bachelor at this moment: "Then you'd better strangle me."

"You think I don't dare?" The leader of the thief said that his subordinates were working hard, and Shen Shaoguang's face immediately turned red, he couldn't breathe, and his feet were kicking.

The thief loosened a little: "Throw down the knife and stick!"

Shen Shaoguang took a deep breath, but smiled, "You're not doing business. If you throw down the knife and stick, we'll just become fish on the chopping board, and you can chop whatever you want. That's not the way of business. Do it. Although Langjun says what he wants, as long as we can survive, we will all obey."

A Chang's hands were shaking at first, but he kept looking at Yu San and A Yuan, and after listening to the little lady's words, he clenched the big rolling pin again.

The thief pondered for a while, and then motioned Eagle Nose to look at the two wounded and fallen, only to find that one was dead and the other was just fainted. The thief first glanced at Yu San, who was holding the machete expressionlessly. Eagle-nosed pinned the door of the store inside, and pulled the underwear to wrap the fainted companion.

The thief's head loosely squeezed Shen Shaoguang's arm: "The little lady is really a crystal heart, no wonder she is loved by Jingzhao Shaoyin."

Shen Shaoguang smiled dryly: "It's just a fluke, it's just a fluke."

The thief's head twitched the corners of his mouth: "I don't know if such a courageous and intelligent little lady, can you let Lin Shaoyin discuss a business with us? You take a token and let the one with the wooden staff send it to the Lin Mansion and ask him See you!"

Such a rare opportunity to "call the police", Shen Shaoguang ran his brain at a high speed to see how to transmit the message. It would be great if Lin Shaoyin was also a time traveler, just squeeze SOS with jam on the cake.

Or get a hidden poem? I'm afraid it's too obvious, the thieves can see it, but it's not obvious, and Lin Shaoyin can't see it either.

Let’s start with the allusions. hope these guys can’t kill people with a knife or write poetry with a pen… just have to gamble.

Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "But there is no token, let me write him a note."

Shen Shaoguang was thinking about the "alarm text message", but someone knocked on the door.

The thief's head gestured to Shen Shaoguang to speak, and Shen Shaoguang said loudly: "It closes early today, let's worship the Cowherd and Weaver Girl and beg for cleverness. The guests will come back another day."

The sound of footsteps outside receded.

The two thieves guarding the door came back, but suddenly heard a "bang" and the door was knocked open.

The two attendants and Lin Shaoyin stood at the door.

Shen Shaoguang laughed bitterly, there were only three people... wonder how Lin Shaoyin and his attendants were fighting.

The thief smiled: "Just right, save the little lady from passing on the book."

Lin Yan walked in slowly, "What do you want?"

"I just ask Shaoyin to write a warrant and let my people sneak into the prison to visit the old man." Now the Taoist priests who committed the crime are interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Jingzhao. place.

"Don't worry, Shaoyin, we only have to say two words, and you can let your people follow."

Lin Yan looked at the thief's head and nodded, "Yes."

The head of the thief did not expect this high-ranking official in red robe to speak so well, and he couldn't help being a little stunned.

"Anything else?" Lin Yan asked indifferently.

"The rest is naturally to ask Shaoyin to make it easier and let me wait out of the city." The thief assured, "I will naturally let the little lady go after I leave the city."

Lin Yan looked at Shen Shaoguang. Shen Shaoguang didn't know if he meant it or not.

Although Lin Yan knew she was acting, her heart still seemed to be clenched.

Taking a deep look at her, Lin Yan sighed in a childish air, and said helplessly: "What are you doing for her as a woman? Besides, you are like this," Lin Yan looked at the one with the wound on his head, "Can you do it? Can you get out of the city?"

The thief frowned. In fact, he wanted to leave the injured companion in the city temporarily to avoid it. Of course, it would be better if he could take it away.

"In this way, I will replace her. There will be no court meeting tomorrow, so I will personally send you out of the city." Lin Yan said.

The thief was really startled this time. The two attendants glanced at their master, but Shen Shaoguang was also stunned for a moment. Yu San glanced at Lin Yan, pursed his lips, and clenched the machete in his hand, but A Yuan was there. He stared at the arm that was strangling his little lady.

Lin Yan frowned slightly, with the impatience of the superior, "How?"

The head of the thief felt that there was deceit here, but the temptation was too great. If Lin Shaoyin was in hand, there would be too many plans...

This scene can't bear to think about it, the thief gritted his teeth and swallowed, "Okay! You take off the sword!"

In the official uniform that Lin Yan wore today, he was wearing an official sword that matched his official rank. Lin Yan took off the sword, threw it under his feet at will, and slowly walked towards the thief: "Let her go."

The thief's head pushed Shen Shaoguang away, and the eagle-nosed thief pressed her to go this way. The thief's head pointed at Lin Yan with his long sword intently, and the other thief warned everyone.

However, when Lin and Chen crossed each other, Shen Shaoguang stumbled into Lin Yan's arms and cried, "Yan Lang—"

Lin Yan had Wenxiang Nephrite in his arms, but there was something in his hand, about two inches long and half an inch wide, thin and sharp.

The eagle nose pointed at Shen Shaoguang with a sword: "Come on!"

Lin Yan glanced at the eagle nose. Although Yingbi was a desperado, he was also afraid of his majesty, and withdrew his sword a little, Lin Yan said softly, "Go."

Shen Shaoguang nodded and walked towards Yu San.

Yu San pulled her to hide behind him, and put the sword of the thief's head on Lin Yan's neck.

Lin Yan looked at the sword as if it was nothing, and knelt down and sat down.

When the thief saw him like this, he breathed a sigh of relief. For a warrior, sitting is the most harmless posture.

On the case, there was a pen and paper prepared for Shen Shaoguang to write the letter, and Lin Yan took it directly and used it.

Only a dozen words were completed in an instant. Lin Yan picked up the corner of the paper and looked sideways at the thief's head, "Take this and follow my attendant Liu Chang to the prison, don't talk too much."

The thief's head was overjoyed, and he lowered his body to get the writing paper, but the smile was fixed on his face, and the blood from his neck was sprayed on the desk, the writing paper and Lin Yan.

With this sudden change, the eagle-nosed thief, who had been on guard, was startled and raised his sword to stab Lin Yan. Lin Yan rolled away sideways, threw the blood-stained blade in his hand at Eagle's nose, and pulled out the dagger in his boot.

The two attendants had already stepped forward with their swords and joined the battle group.

Yu San and A Yuan and others were protecting Shen Shaoguang and retreating.

The rescue soldiers called by the driver outside the house had also arrived. It turned out that there was a big banquet in the palace today. After the banquet, Lin Yan went to Jingzhao Mansion for a long time before returning. He passed by Shenji's door in a car. Seeing the light rain, Shenji's house was lit with lights and the door was closed— - She was too hot all day, so she didn't take the opportunity to cool off?

And because the prophecy case was haunting her mind, Lin Yan felt uneasy, so she got out of the car and knocked on the door. After hearing what she said about worshipping the cow girl and begging for skill, she knew something was wrong. , will you worship them?

Wuhou Fangding, who was patrolling the night watch in the workshop, also rushed over, but because the rain was not so diligent in patrolling, something happened... Seeing the token of Jingzhao, the Fangdings were silent, not knowing what happened. what.

Lin Yan wiped the blood on the dagger with the handkerchief, opened the curtain and came out, first glanced at Shen Shaoguang, who was surrounded by the third class, and then turned around to explain the matter to several attendants. Someone went to carry the body of the thief, and someone went to reprimand and explain the Fangding.

Lin Yan came over, the wind lamp under the eaves cast a dim yellow light, but she could still see that her complexion was a little pale, her temples were loose, her shoulders were so thin, and her waist was not full of a grip. In the wind and rain of this autumn night, she looked very is pitiful.

Lin Yan resisted the urge to hold her in his arms, so bright and even a little domineering person, because of himself, suffered a lot today, if he came a step later... Lin Yan didn't dare to think about it.

"I..." Lin Yan can write a thousand words to write strategy and theory, and he can argue with the court with reason and reason, facing the little lady he loves, but at this time, he is speechless.

"These thieves smelled of incense, candles and paper, maybe they were stained at the Taoist temple before. Because they have been hiding for a few days, they have never changed their clothes, so they can still smell it now. There is also a smell of pickled goods..." Shen Shaoguang looked serious and authentic.

A good cook, most of them have a good nose. Shen Shaoguang considers himself not a very good cook, but he also has a good nose, but the smell of these thieves is too mixed, the heavy smell of sweat, and the smell of rain. Er... Shen Shaoguang didn't distinguish it at first, but subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Just thinking about it under the corridor just now, he could distinguish the two most meaningful flavors.

Lin Yan sensitively captured the main point of her words, "Salt goods?" During the summer and autumn seasons like this, ordinary people don't have a lot of pickled goods, unless...

Shen Shaoguang nodded, "We have quite a few in our store." Of course, the hiding places of these thieves these days may also be the cellars of dignitaries who pay attention to food and drink. Shen Shaoguang believes that Lin Shaoyin can think of this.

Shen Shaoguang went on to say the next doubt: "One of the thieves wanted to order 'Eel with vinegar', which is a home-cooked dish in Lifang in Beidu. It is not well-known, but people in Beidu often eat it in summer." It is said in the Classics that people in Beidu often use vinegar to cook eel and pour wheat noodles coldly.

"I said I wouldn't do it, and the bearded thief seemed to breathe a sigh of relief."

...

Shen Shaoguang told Lin Yan what he felt was wrong with these thieves.

Listening to her orderly narration, and looking at her bright eyes like the morning stars, Lin Yan smiled, my ah, even in the wind and rain of such an autumn night, it is as radiant as the scenery of three springs.

Lin Yan was going to interrogate the prisoner overnight, and the attendants had already loaded the prisoner and the corpse into the car and were ready to go.

Lin Yan instructed Shen Shaoguang: "Be careful these days, I'll leave you a few guards."

Shen Shaoguang subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Lin Yan said softly, "Be obedient!"

Shen Shaoguang raised his eyes, met his worried eyes, and finally nodded.

Lin Yan looked at Yu San and A Yuan, who were not far away, and turned around and said to Shen Shaoguang, "I'll go first."

Shen Shaoguang watched him go away quietly. In fact, he is thin and should belong to Qingyi Ruzhu, but perhaps because of his tall stature and broad shoulders, or because his demeanor is too firm and upright, walking like this seems to be able to carry the night sky. and wind and rain.

Shen Shaoguang suddenly felt a little reluctant to give up, and he couldn't help laughing at himself. No wonder the hero saving beauty is a classic routine, and it's no wonder that the ancient routine has won the hearts of the people... I really want to leave it alone.

The author has something to say:

Lin Yan five minutes ago: My Ai is weak, helpless and pitiful, I really want to hug...

Lin Yan five minutes later: Oh, my Ai is still so sturdy (slowly withdrew her hand)
