Han Xiang

Chapter 243 Zhou Lang Throws the Cauldron
When Zhou Yu heard that it was from Hefei, the meat in his mouth suddenly tasted bad, and then he put down the bone in his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "It was actually sent by Long Xiang? Why is he like this?"

"I don't know"

When Bao shook his head in response, seeing Zhou Yu getting up and about to leave the table, he hurriedly asked, "Where is husband going?"

"Long Xiang has nothing to do to be courteous, so there must be some sinister plot. I'm going to see the lord."

"It's better to use it up."

Before Bao could finish his sentence, Zhou Yu had already walked away. Looking at the gradually blurred back, Bao regretted that he hadn't said anything just now.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Yu returned to Wu County to rest.

There is nothing to do in winter, and there are often people chatting in groups in court and on the street. Recently, Long Xiang's marriage to Erqiao is a hot topic, and many people praise Long Xiang as a hero and a beauty.

Although Zhou Yu was not feeling well, his personal accomplishment made him not show his emotions and anger, and he only showed his unhappiness at home occasionally.

how?Long Xiang is a hero, but I, Zhou Gongjin, can't?
His wife, Mrs. Bao, was born in a rich family in Danyang. She didn't want to argue with the unaccepted concubine, but she cared because of Zhou Yu's concern. She once strictly ordered her servants not to mention Long Xiang, but she couldn't hold back just now.

Zhou Yu went to see Sun Quan angrily. At that time, Sun Quan was having a meal in the back hall. The food he ate was similar to that at home, with meat and vegetables stewed in a cauldron.

"Lord."

"Gongjin came by coincidence. It's boring to eat alone. The meat in this cauldron is already stewed. Let's share it and have a few drinks."

"My lord, be careful."

Before the words were finished, Zhou Yu suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the ear of the tripod with one hand and pulled it to the side of the desk, splashing the soup all over the floor.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Sun Quan was shocked for a long time. The servant served the hot soup without eating two mouthfuls, and was thrown away by Zhou Yu like this.

At that moment, Sun Quan had countless thoughts, the most frightening thing was that Zhou Yu wanted to rebel.

The lord dared to take away his job, what else would he not dare to do?Do you really think I'm a puppet?
No, he has military power in his hands, so I can only endure it.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan stood up and took two steps back, first patted his clothes to adjust his mood, and then asked calmly, "Why is Gong Jin like this? Does he have something to say to me?"

"My lord, please forgive me."

Zhou Yu first admitted his mistake for his gaffe, and then explained the reason: "I heard that Long Xiang sent a lot of pork? This person is full of tricks and must be guarded against. Be cautious about what you import. If Long Xiang harbors evil intentions, the Jiangdong officials will not be punished." Poison?"

Is it an excuse?Or sincerely?Sun Quan couldn't guess and didn't want to guess.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, motioned Zhou Yu to sit down first, shook his head and said, "My cauldron is filled with mutton, and Hefei sent two live pigs, so the poison can't be put on the living animals? What if they die halfway?"

"mutton?"

Only then did Zhou Yu discover the things on the ground, so he stood up and clasped his fists again: "The last general was reckless for a while, please punish me, my lord."

"Gong Jin is loyal, what is the crime? Sit down and talk."

Sun Quan pretended to be magnanimous, and then signaled his servants to clean up and serve a new meal.

Zhou Yu sat down and clasped his fists to remonstrate: "If you don't have anything to show courteousness, you are either rape or stealing. It is right for my lord not to eat foreign food. The pork sent by Longxiang is different from ordinary pork. The general will think it is fraudulent. You should take back the divided meat and bury it." .”

"sound"

Sun Quan rested his chin: "Gongjin seems to have eaten it before. The smell of pork is too strong. I don't like to eat it. Is Hefei pork so bad?"

Zhou Yu replied: "My lord's words are true. Pork all over the world is fishy, ​​but the fault is Longxiang's pork. There is no fishy smell."

"Delicious but also deceitful?" Sun Quan shook his head lightly, his face was full of embarrassment: "The meat has been distributed to the officials, and many of them may have been cooked. It may not be easy to get it back, besides, I was with Long Xiang last year. We met at the nest once, and we would not wait until now if we wanted to poison."

"People's hearts are unpredictable."

Zhou Yu frowned: "Long Xiang has always been hostile to me, Jiang Dong, and he must have a plan for giving gifts out of nowhere."

Sun Quan shook his head and replied: "At this time and at that time, Long Xiang is cautious and honest, but he will not offend Jiang Dong easily, and this is not the first time he gave gifts. Forget about the thousands of people who sent them last year?"

"How can anyone give gifts to pigs?"

Seeing that Zhou Yu was unable to defend himself, Sun Quan responded with a smile: "Hefei has grown from scratch, so there is nothing good about it. Perhaps this unique pork is the most unique gift in Hefei. Just because Long Xiang knows how to raise pigs, don't judge that the other party is not good. Have a plan? It's unreasonable."

Zhou Yu frowned and thought for a while before continuing to ask: "Long Xiang was born in the head of Guizhou, and he is only interested in profit. He will never give gifts for no reason. I wonder if the Lord has anything to do with Hefei recently?"

"Well," Sun Quan thought for a while, "It's nothing more than Long Xiang getting married at the end of the year. I sent Deng Dang to send some congratulatory gifts. Of course, that was the reason for verifying Liu Fu. In addition, last month, Zibu sent two people to the channel of Shi Fei. Going to the construction site to reward is actually to understand the progress of the excavation.”

"now it's right."

Zhou Yu thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Perhaps Long Xiang was playing tricks on the construction site and didn't want our people to come frequently, so he stopped by giving gifts."

Sun Quanxu looked back and asked: "Did Gongjin think too complicated? It's still freezing in the wild, and Long Xiang can organize people to work in full swing. If you want to play tricks, you can't do it like this."

Zhou Yu suddenly got up and clasped his fists to invite Ying: "My lord, there is nothing going on in Jiangdong right now, why don't you let the general go to Hefei for a while? Is Long Xiang playing tricks and can't hide it from my eyes."

"This..." Sun Quan frowned and pondered: "Gong Jin, don't worry, Zibu has been in charge of digging the Shifei Canal all along. You go back and wait for the news, and I can discuss it with him?"

"That's fine, I'll leave at the end." Zhou Yu was furious when he came, but now he had calmed down, and could not make any more oversteps, and then he clasped his fists to Sun Quan and asked for his resignation.

When Zhou Yu stepped out of the back hall, Sun Quan's face collapsed immediately, and he clenched his fists bulgingly.

After a while, a servant brought a food tripod.

Sun Quan picked up the chopsticks and scooped them up a few times, then suddenly raised his leg and kicked the food tripod in front of him, and said angrily, "Why is there no pork in it? Where is the pork I asked for just now?"

Where did you say half a word?Besides, you have never eaten pork.
Seeing the servant standing still and not daring to speak back, Sun Quan didn't want to vent his anger on him, so he didn't continue to pester him, but scolded in a deep voice, "What are you doing there with the pestle? Why don't you clean it up with me?"

"Wei." The servant answered while cleaning, "I will prepare again immediately, little man."

"Don't worry, I'm full."

Sun Quan interrupted with a wave of his hand, and called the servant to tell him: "Go out and tell the guards, and tell Zhang Gong to come see me immediately."

"Yes."

Zhang Zhao also cooked pork at home today. He tasted it and thought it was delicious, so he filled a big pot of good meat and rode out in a carriage, wanting to give it to the naughty Sun Quan to try.

Seeing someone enter the room with a food tripod, Sun Quan thought to himself that I am already full today, so why do people still come to find me unhappy?He looked up and found that it was Zhang Zhao, his long history.

"Zibu? You came so fast."

"The lord is calling, how can you be unhappy? The meat is cooked in Zhao's house, so I dare not enjoy it alone, please try it, my lord."
