People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Cai Xiaolan originally thought that she would go to the cell where she was last time, but she didn't expect that the guards only sent her to a small room in the government office.

There was a wooden bed at the end of the room, with a rag quilt at the end of the bed.Outside the bed, there is a table and a lame wooden stool under the table.Other than that, the whole house was empty, with nothing else.

"Has the treatment been improved this time?" Cai Xiaolan originally thought that this time, she would not have to suffer a serious crime in jail.It was spring, and there were not many snakes, insects, rats, or ants in the prison.

In order to perform in a play, Cui Le took his third son all the way back to Tianfu Jucai Residence. When Cui Lu said that Cai Xiaolan had been taken away, he pretended to be submissive and said, "Okay, this unfilial son finally has someone." Punish her."

Cui Lu originally suspected that it was Cui Le who instigated Li Yunguang to arrest Cai Xiaolan. Now that he heard what he said, she immediately excluded him, "Are you still acting like an elder? Why don't you go find Yun Guang?" Brother, rescue Xiaolan?"

"Okay, madam, I will definitely do what you say!" Cui Le just arrived home. He didn't even take a sip of water. He took his three sons and hurried back to Yangzhou City.

He did not go to Li Yunguang, but went to Zeng Changshi's office.

"Master Zeng, I just came home. I heard from my wife that Xiaolan was arrested. Please help me find out what laws she broke!" Cui Le asked anxiously.

"Master Cui, don't worry. I'll call someone to ask!" Zeng Changshi told the people next to him to call the steward of the Criminal Division.

The errand boy left just as quickly as he came. "I'm telling you, sir, the three stewards of the criminal department have all gone to jail. Others in the hall said it will take about two hours."

"Strange!" Zeng Changshi said, "I've been on duty for so long, and it's the first time I've seen all three stewards go to prison. It seems that they must have slipped away to do private business!"

Zeng Wenchang smiled apologetically at Cui Le, "Mr. Cui, unfortunately today, I have to ask you to wait for a while. But don't worry, according to the rules of our prison, there will be no punishment on the first day, so you don't have to worry about your daughter-in-law suffering a loss!"

"Thank you for your care!"

Cui Le said goodbye and left with his three sons.

It's a pity that no matter how good the acting skills are, it would be false to reveal the secret in advance.

This is the scheming of the two of them.

The group of them had already planned. First, they would capture the person, lock her up overnight, make her suspicious, make her feel trance-like, and then slowly ask about the secret recipe of Babao Zhai.

……

The next day, Cui Le and the others drank two large bowls of salty tofu nao at the stall opposite the government office.

"Third son, this was also invented by Cai Xiaolan?"

"Yes!" Cui Boyan looked around and found the word "cai" on the wooden barrel containing tofu. He nodded affirmatively and said, "It should be supplied by our family."

Cui Le drank another large bowl and looked back at the door of the government office. His self-centered heart at home swelled again, "The business is so big, but you are still so stingy when you take some money to spend."

Until now, he still believed that Cai Xiaolan had a lot of money hidden behind his back.

This time, Zeng Wenchang didn't make any detours. When he saw Cui Le and his son, he immediately led them to the back of the yamen.

Stop in front of a row of huts on the corner.

Zeng Changshi called to the guard on the side, "Which room is Cai Xiaolan being locked up in?"

"Reporting to Mr. Zeng, the prisoner Cai Xiaolan is being detained in Room C!" the officer reported to him loudly.

Cai Xiaolan, who was half leaning on the bed in the room, immediately woke up and squinted at the door-sized light at the door.

"Xiaolan?" The first person to jump in was Cui Boyan. He was worried again last night, fearing that something might happen to his wife.

When the five people outside the house entered the house, they all saw Cai Xiaolan's leering eyes at first sight. "Pick Xiaolan?"

Zeng Changshi asked tentatively.He was shocked and thought he had been locked up overnight.

"Master Zeng, are you going to be sentenced now?" The cold and stern voice was so penetrating that it instantly spread throughout the cold room.

The hair on everyone's body immediately stood up, and their resentment was soaring.

"Master Zeng came to let you out, if you don't believe me, ask Aye!" Seeing Cai Xiaolan's appearance, Cui Boyan's heart ached, and he wished to replace her with his own body.

Cui Le and Zeng Wenchang coughed together, and Zeng Wenchang said: "My nephew, Xiaolan has violated the law and must be sentenced according to the law! First, I can go through the necessary procedures so that I can exert some strength!"

"Ah? Uncle Zeng, didn't you say last time that in the boundary of Yangzhou Prefecture, as long as it is not a matter of human life, it can be resolved?" Cui Boyan even imitated Zeng Wenchang's expression when speaking.

"Cough - cough -" Zeng Wenchang was so choked up by these words that he almost coughed out his lungs.

"Third son, you are a dignified government office, a solemn place, how can you make a joke?" Cui Le's eyebrows were raised high.

Cui Boyan didn't dare to speak.In my heart, I looked down on Zeng Changshi. He insisted on making promises to others even though he clearly couldn't do it. He was just a villain.

"Xiaolan, don't worry. I will never let you be wronged. Later, I will go to Li Jishi to plead for mercy. Make the big problem a small one!" Cui Le continued the conversation.

The two people acting in front of Cai Xiaolan would have to expose the hypocrites' masks if they were not afraid that they would become angry.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

That pear-shaped and cold tone was like a soft knife, piercing Cui Boyan's heart.

"However, it will take some time to go through the process. When we sold Babao Zhai, we encountered a problem and we need your help to solve it." Cui Le chuckled, "The big businessmen who came to the party all wanted to get Babao If we can find a way to do it, the price can increase more than ten times!"

Cai Xiaolan had known Cui Le's purpose for a long time, so he was not surprised at all when he said this.

"There is no secret to making eight treasures!" Cai Xiaolan saw that Cui Le's expression suddenly turned cold, and she continued in a high-spirited tone: "However, since grandpa suspects that I am hiding something, please bring me ten pieces of soft tofu and ask for another handful. Kitchen knife, I will demonstrate it for you on the spot."

Cui Le turned around and glanced at Zeng Wenchang, Zeng Wenchang immediately cooperated and said: "Master Cui, wait a moment, I will send someone to the kitchen to get it!"

As the largest official unit in Yangzhou Prefecture, the kitchen consumes a large amount of tofu every day. It is easy to make ten pieces evenly.

Not long after, a cook came in with a chopping board and a kitchen knife in his waist, holding a large bowl of tofu in both hands.

"My lord, the tofu has arrived!"

Zeng Wenchang didn't speak, and signaled Cai Xiaolan to hurry up and do it.

Chef Cai didn't waste any time. He picked up the kitchen knife and played with it twice, making two flowers dance in the air. After getting familiar with the weight of the blade, he started to cut Wensi tofu.I saw her insert the entire blade into the basin, pick it up, and a piece of tofu flew out.

And it happened to fall on the knife board.

Amazing, the tofu was intact.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.Before it was time to cut the tofu, the waiter in the government office was impressed by the selection of tofu.
