113. Food is inexhaustible and hard to find

Let's talk about the palace on the same day.

Early in the morning, Fang Heng was just meticulously staring at His Majesty's breakfast.From ingredients to cooking to delivery, until the safe entrance of His Majesty, after a while, seeing that there was nothing wrong with the food, he went back to his room for a short rest, and left the rest to his subordinate shadow guards to watch.

After all, he is also a small leader. Although he is not as authoritative as the other executive deacons and medical deacons, he is still responsible for the safety of His Majesty's food and drink.He and his subordinates are in charge of and monitor the entire royal dining room.

In this palace where more than 300 attempted assassinations occur on average every year, so far there has been no mistake in the food His Majesty ate, which is Fang Heng's skill.

That day, when he and Li Han returned to the palace from the palace, the prince brought them a lot of snacks, and sent a carriage directly to the shadow guard's residence in the palace.

However, the number of royal shadow guards is huge, and all the shadow guards in those carts of snacks are divided into a small box for each person.The shadow guards have little experience and have never tasted such delicious food made by the prince himself, so they naturally regard it as a treasure.

It's a pity that this snack can't be stored for a long time, so those shadow guards were afraid that it would be spoiled, so they ate it up in a few days.

As soon as Fang Heng returned to his room that day, a shadow guard from the same room came to talk to him.

These shadow guards are not good at talking on weekdays. Fang Heng saw this colleague slowly holding a box and sitting next to him.:

"Fang, Deacon Fang...I don't know if this matter...should I speak up. My brothers, last time...the snacks given by His Royal Highness King Yu have already been eaten."

"The subordinates have discussed it, and I want to ask... Are you often sent by the master to take dishes and snacks for the master in the King Yu Palace... When you go next time, can you ask His Highness King Yu..."

"Here, there are only five hibiscus cakes left in this box. If you don't mind Deacon Fang, you can take them..."

The shadow guard looked honest, as if he had made a big mistake.

He didn't know whether it was a violation of the regulations, so he didn't let those young brothers speak.Instead, he secretly asked for it, so that if it really didn't work, he would be the only one to be punished.

Taking a step back, even if Fang Heng was allowed to help bring snacks, he begged Fang Heng with snacks like this... In fact, it was bribery, and it was considered a violation of the regulations. It just depends on whether the execution department will deal with it.up.

It's just that he is nearly thirty years old, and he is usually a little dull, and now he is even more at a loss - ask the prince if there is such a thing about dim sum, how should he open his mouth.

Seeing that he didn't know how to proceed, Fang Heng said for him:

"You want to ask if there are any spares in the palace, and let me bring them over?"

The dull shadow guard nodded embarrassingly:

"I, we will pay for it..."

It's just that the more you talk, the more emboldened you become.Of course, you can't just ask for snacks in the Palace, but if you buy them with money...His Royal Highness King Yu is not short of money.Their little silver princes definitely don't like it.

But if you don't seize Fang Heng's opportunity, you will wait for the prince to think about it next time and reward them, but you don't know that it will be the year of the monkey.

Fang Heng didn't deny it without saying a word, because he and King Yu Palace are still relatively familiar, so he just didn't comment:

"I've made a note of this matter. If I have the chance, I'll try to ask His Royal Highness King Yu."

The dull shadow guard showed joy, and then the two went out together to prepare their shadow guard's breakfast.

………………

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them went out, they saw a man in black standing in the yard.The man turned his hands behind his back to them, his aura was as calm as a mountain, and the cold wind blew his robe slightly, making people's hearts shudder for no reason.

Fang Heng was startled suddenly, this man's skill is so deep, he sneaked into his yard without a sound and didn't even notice it!

Before he could react, the man had already turned around slowly, with a low and gloomy voice:

"Fang Heng, Qi Zhong. You two are quite courageous."

But not Li Han who?

They didn't know why Li Han came here suddenly, maybe it was just a coincidence.But it was very unfortunate for them, they were caught and revealed by the Commander!

The two immediately knelt down in front of Li Han, silent like a cicada.

I didn't see how Li Han's footsteps moved, saw that he suddenly came in front of the two of them, put the snack box in his hand, and snorted coldly:

"I'm quite courageous. I didn't know that the shadow guards in this palace... have learned to bribe the deacons of the shadow guards who go out to buy and do errands."

"...The subordinate knows his mistake."

The two spoke in unison.

Li Han lowered his eyes and said coldly:

"Qi Zhong, go to the Execution Division to receive the punishment yourself. Fang Heng..."

He heard it clearly outside the house just now, Fang Heng only said that he had the opportunity to ask the prince, but he didn't agree, so it was not a violation of the regulations.

So Li Han just said coldly:

"Be careful yourself!"

Li Han gripped the snack box tightly, turned around and left.

………………

"Master, this is the evidence that the shadow guard actually used it to bribe."

In the Diligent Government Hall, Li Han put this box of snacks on the table after reporting the recent mission to Pei Niancheng.

Before that, Pei Nianyu also brought back a few boxes of snacks for his younger brother.However, Pei Niancheng has been under a lot of pressure recently to deal with government affairs. Whenever he is worried, he puts some snacks in his mouth, and the few boxes have already been eaten.

At this time, seeing Li Han coming over with a box of "confiscated" snacks, he opened it and ate a piece without thinking.

Li Han: "..."

He was suffocated for a moment, but fortunately he had expected it, tried the poison in advance, and it was stopped.

The hibiscus cake had been left for a few days, and it was already a little soft, but because it was extremely sweet, it didn't deteriorate.

Pei Niancheng didn't care about his sluggish appearance, and ate three yuan in a row.Then he looked at the two remaining pieces and pushed the box forward:

"Li Han, calm down, don't be angry with those subordinates... I'll give you a share!"

Li Han: "..."

Seeing that the master didn't take what he said to heart at all, he couldn't help but feel even more depressed, and he didn't have the mood to eat snacks.But the master was willing to share with him, which made him quite grateful.

Li Han shook his head and refused.

Pei Niancheng has no self-control in the long drought and sweet dew.While explaining to himself: "I can't hold this anymore, it will break if I keep it any longer", while eating all five snacks.

Li Han waited for the host to finish eating, and then continued to persuade:

"Master, although this matter is a trivial matter, we have to be vigilant. Master, you and His Highness King Yu are as close as... brothers and sisters, but the shadow guards in the palace are only yours after all. Let them contact His Highness King Yu in private, and the relationship is getting worse.It's getting closer, after all... it's a hidden danger."

Pei Niancheng didn't take Lin Han's thoughts seriously.

He knew Li Han was saying this out of safety, but he knew his brother better.If he was worried that the shadow guard had a close relationship with other courtiers, then he didn't have to worry about the connection between the shadow guard and his elder brother.

But...he and his elder brother are fellow travelers, so it's impossible to say.

So he didn't explain, just nodded, noncommittal:

"Okay, I know about this, I will pay attention to it. Go and ask Fang Heng to come over."

Li Han thought that the master was going to beat Fang Heng, so he called him over as promised, and then went to work on his own.

…………

Fang Heng looked at his master anxiously, thinking that Li Han had filed a complaint and the master was furious and wanted to deal with him.

Unexpectedly, Pei Niancheng never attacked him, and only asked him in a furtive tone:

"Fang Heng, I heard that you want to go to the palace and order some snacks?"

Fang Heng bit the bullet and admitted, lowering his head even further.

Pei Niancheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly beckoned him to come closer, and then whispered in his ear:

"Then you go to the palace, you take my banknotes and go. By the way...you can ask His Highness King Yu how much you can sell, just bring me some more."

The author has something to say:

Fang Heng: ...I'm going to be pissed off...

Pei Niancheng: ...Bring me a copy!
