I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 73
In her previous life, Lu Xizhi was a glutton. She liked to eat after work. Food can relieve her from all the emotional stress and depression brought about by work. There is a saying that she really likes: Don’t let life exhaust your patience. And longing, in addition to poetry and distant places, there are also barbecue and lamb, hot pot and Malatang.

Shi and Yuanfang are too sour, the only thing she can't afford to put down are chopsticks.

At present, the food is gluttonous and delicate, always thinking, observing before eating, thinking while eating, savoring after tasting, Lu Xizhi told himself after learning from the pain: the less there is left on the plate, the better person I am.

Ordinary people can get a general idea of ​​whether a country is rich or not from the whole feast given by the emperor: pigeon meat, chicken, duck, fish, crab, pork, beef, etc. dessert.I heard from my father that the officials of the third rank and above in the inner palace and foreign envoys also have two dishes of stag meat and tiger meat, which are special products of the Jin Kingdom. This level of hospitality fully reflects the country's strong financial resources. Qi Tianyin is indeed a good emperor who can rule the country and make money. , no wonder it can win the hearts of the people.

Lu Xizhi was so excited that she didn't know where to start eating, but luckily Lu Zhonglian made the decision for her and got her the biggest crab, perfect!

The hairy crabs in this season are simply the most beautiful enjoyment on the dining table. The male crabs are big and thick, and the fat is plump. After steaming, not only the crab roe and crab paste will not flow out, but also the freshness and sweetness of the crab meat can be tightly locked in. Lu Xizhi picked up the special tableware , began to eat up.

After eating the crab, the salted duck skin is white and the meat is tender, delicious, fragrant, crispy and tender; the white-cut chicken is tender and sweet; the rice-flavored pork belly is fat but not greasy, and it melts in the mouth. mouth.

As soon as one end of the sauerkraut fish was served, the tangy aroma of numbness came to her face immediately, and the fragrance wafted all over the place, making her salivate. A piece of tofu, then add some soup, and then sandwich some fragrant and delicious fish meat. Once in the mouth, the tender sourness has a spicy feeling. It is really tasteful and memorable. It is truly unique.

The final staple food is zongzi and steamed buns filled with soup. The green zongzi is made of freshly picked reed leaves, wrapped with pure fragrant sticky glutinous rice and red dates. After cooking, the reed leaves are peeled off. Embedded with a few bright red agates, it is super attractive; the thin skin of the soup-filled dumplings is translucent, and when you open your mouth to take a bite, the delicious juice inside flows into your mouth, and the plump meat balls are smooth and delicious.

The father and daughter of Lu Zhonglian and Lu Xizhi burped in satisfaction at the same time, attracting the officials and family members at the adjacent tables to look over, especially Yao Zhongjin's family. As expected of a mother and daughter.

The dinner lasted almost an hour, and some officials had already started toasting each other. These are all men's affairs. Lu Xizhi and his mother continued to eat small desserts in their seats.

There is harmony and joy.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise from the inner hall, and there were court ladies and eunuchs running back and forth one after another. After a while, two middle-aged officials were seen hurriedly running to the inner hall, each carrying a small box in their hands.

Her keen intuition told Lu Xizhi that something happened inside!Out of the police's professional habits, she stood up and wanted to rush in, but her father grabbed her from behind.

"What are you doing!?" Lu Zhonglian yelled at her in a low voice.

"Father, there seems to be something wrong inside, I'll go and have a look."

"Are you crazy? Usually, I don't care about you. This is the palace, and there is an emperor in it!! The imperial army is not joking!"

Lu Xizhi suddenly realized, ouch, I almost forgot.

Many people also began to notice the abnormality in the inner hall, and they all got up and looked over there. There were already dozens of tables nearby, and people began to watch.Sure enough, not long after, the news reached here.

The foreign envoy from Bagan accidentally got his throat stuck while eating walnuts. Several imperial doctors were inside, drinking oil, clamping it with clips, and slapping his back didn't work. Now the situation is very critical.

The old emperor of Bagan has always been submissive to Da Jin, but their eldest prince Sangbo is an ambitious wolf with a monstrous desire for power. It is said that the old emperor's deteriorating health is related to this eldest prince.If something happened to the Bagan envoys in Dajin's palace, it would definitely become an excuse for Sangbo to invade Dajin's territory again.

Lu Xizhi knew that even if Da Jin had a strong army and a strong general like Yuan Yanxi, working hard to develop the economy in peaceful times was the most important thing.

She immediately rushed to the front of the crowd recklessly, and when Lu Zhonglian and Li Wenjun reacted, Lu Xizhi had already rushed to the entrance of the inner hall.

But the gate was already guarded by heavy soldiers, which made Lu Xizhi stop. Through the gaps in the crowd, she vaguely saw that the hall was also in chaos. Under the high throne, surrounded by several men, they must be the imperial physician, too far apart , she couldn't see the movements of the imperial physician clearly.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed out of the corner of his eye.

"Master Nanyang!" Lu Xizhi hurriedly called him to stop.

Nanyang stood still and was about to find the source of the voice. When he fixed his eyes and saw that it was an acquaintance, he strode over and said, "Miss Lu, it's not convenient to talk now, please leave."

"Hey, my lord, I have a way to save people!"

Creak... Nanyang, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at her in surprise. Seeing that she was serious and anxious, she didn't seem to be joking, so she asked her to wait a while, and quickly asked her superiors for instructions.

In less than 3 minutes, I saw the handsome and extraordinary Yuan Yanxi walking over in a purple robe. His pace was two points faster than usual. The guarding guards automatically moved out of the way. The crowd who were watching the excitement just now were a little panicked. It was the first time that Lu Xizhi felt Yuan Yanxi's prestige and disparity in status, and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Yuan Yanxi:

"Excuse me." Looking at Lu Xizhi, he ordered simply.

"Factory Superintendent, I have a way to save the envoy, please let me in, otherwise it will be too late."

Yuan Yanxi looked at her seriously, and asked cautiously: "Lu Xizhi, are you sure?"

"Factory Superintendent, please trust me!" Lu Xizhi resolutely said without flinching.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, I saw that petite girl in a bright green plain dress followed Governor Yuan Dachang into the inner hall. The officials looked at me and I looked at you, and began to whisper to each other and ask who it was The daughter of the family actually let Yuan Yanxi lead the way and invite her into the hall.

"That seems to be the daughter of the Lu family." Someone said in the crowd.

Lu Xizhi couldn't control that much, she trotted to keep up with Yuan Yanxi's pace, and the closer she got to the center of the incident, the more oppressive and uneasy the atmosphere was, a man was roaring in an incomprehensible language, revealing in his tone that Anxious and angry; while another voice seemed to be soothing with the same language, the voice was calm and calm.

Just before approaching the supreme dragon seat, Yuan Yanxi stood still, turned around, and seemed to give her a reassuring tone: "Just do your best, I'm here."

Lu Xizhi really wanted to say to him: Oh, don't worry, don't worry, little case, it's something that any passer-by would do in modern times.

But she still couldn't be too high-profile, so she nodded gratefully at him, meaning: I thank you, you are a loyal leader.

Finally, Yuan Yanxi waved away several imperial physicians, and Lu Xizhi poked out his head with a bun from behind, and his vivid big eyes appeared in front of everyone.
