Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 92 Recipe Leaked
Zhao Han was afraid after lying on the bed for a while, but he didn't expect that Li Lizhi was still a master of dark cooking, and it seemed that he would be tortured by her often in the future.

Zhao Han fell asleep after lying on the bed, and Li Lizhi returned to her tent, and happily said to Cheng Chuxue: "Sister Xiaoxue, do you know? I learned to do it today very successfully, and this afternoon I made hot and sour The cabbage was eaten by my cousin, and after Zhao Han came back, I fried another plate, and he ate it all, am I very talented as a chef?"

Seeing that Li Lizhi was so excited, Cheng Chuxue didn't pour cold water on her. Cheng Chuxue learned cooking with Li Lizhi in the afternoon, and also tasted the food made by Li Lizhi. I didn't expect Zhao Han and the others to finish a whole dish. I really don't know how to describe their strong stomachs.

For the next period of time, Zhao Han and the others all got up early in the morning, and then they didn't know where to go, and they came back very late at night, which made Li Li angry. I can't find anyone to taste the fried dishes I learned.

Zhao Han and the others trembled when they saw Li Lizhi's cooking. In order not to torture their stomachs, they went to the training base together every morning to watch Cheng Chumo's training, and set up a large umbrella next to Cheng Chumo's training ground. People were playing mahjong inside, which made Cheng Chumo's heads almost smoke, thinking that we are as tired as grandchildren from training here, but you are playing mahjong.

When Zhao Han and the others were living a leisurely life every day, something happened in Chang'an. This happened when Cheng Yaojin, a shopkeeper who sold fine salt, was suddenly killed. When the people reported to Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin was very angry, and ordered his servants to investigate carefully to see who did it. When the servants saw that Cheng Yaojin was angry, they rushed out and ordered them to investigate the matter carefully.

Cheng Yaojin originally thought that the shopkeeper might have offended someone, so he was killed, but as the saying goes, "Beating a dog depends on the owner." Isn't this a slap in the face?
But what happened later made Cheng Yaojin feel that something was wrong, because suddenly there were many shops in Chang'an, and these shops were selling fine salt, which made Cheng Yaojin feel something was wrong, the fine salt formula sold by these shops must be from his own hands I stole it from the store, and how I stole it is related to the shopkeeper a few days ago. The formula has always been in my hands, and the formula has not been lost. The only one who can get the formula is the workshop, but the workshop is all my loyalists. Servant, they will not reveal it, only the shopkeeper who often goes to the workshop can get it, and the shopkeeper is killed now, it must be because he is afraid of revealing the real master behind the shopkeeper, it seems that this shopkeeper was placed in his house by someone else.

Cheng Yaojin felt that the five surnames and Qiwang were responsible for this incident, but he had no evidence, so he had to start with the new store recently.

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly called the housekeeper to the study, and said to the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, there have been so many shops selling fine salt in Chang'an recently, do you know who is behind them? You also have the details of the shopkeeper who was killed in our salt shop." Check it out?"

The housekeeper knew that Cheng Yaojin had been anxious about this matter recently, so he didn't have any ink marks, so he hurriedly told Cheng Yaojin the results of the recent investigation.

The butler said to Cheng Yaojin: "Master, recently I ordered my servants to investigate, and the result of the investigation is that the shopkeeper is indeed a spy of the Wang family with five surnames Qiwang, but the owners behind the newly opened salt shop in Chang'an are the Zheng family and the Li family. , the Cui family, the Lu family, and the shops of some second- and third-rank officials in the imperial court, and some ordinary wealthy businessmen with no background."

Cheng Yaojin frowned slightly, thinking how could so many families participate?The shopkeeper is from the Wang family, but the Wang family didn't get involved, so Cheng Yaojin couldn't figure out who was behind it.

"Do you know where their formulas come from?" Cheng Yaojin asked curiously.

"Back to the master, I learned from the servants that they all bought it from an unknown person. They didn't find out who this person is."

Cheng Yaojin felt that this was not an easy matter. The shopkeeper was a spy of the Wang family, but the Wang family did not get the formula, while other families and officials got the formula, but the formula was bought from someone who did not know the details. This is quite strange.

"You send someone and I must send out the person who sells the formula, and you tell the servant to go to Xingyangzhuang to call Xiaohan back for me, and say that I have something to look for him."

"Okay master, if the master has nothing else to do, I will go and tell the servants to do it."

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said to the butler: "It's nothing else, you must find out who sells the formula for this old man, I really want to see who is behind the scenes."

The butler quickly ran out to find his servants, told the master what to do, and then went to the store to watch. Since the shopkeeper of the salt shop was killed, the master was worried that others would watch, so he asked himself to watch, so the butler hurried to the shop. run away.

In fact, Zheng Shanguo ordered someone to steal the token of the Wang family according to the housekeeper's method, so that the spies of the Wang family stole the formula at Cheng Yaojin's house, and then killed the spies of the Wang family.

After Zheng Shanguo got the formula, he waited for Yang Yu's subordinates to come to find him, but he did not expect to get the formula so easily. It seems that he is not far from his position as the head of the family. Zheng Shanguo happily sat in the living room and slowly Sipping tea, waiting for Yang Yu's subordinates to come and find him.

Zheng Shanguo knew that Yang Yu must have planted many spies in Chang'an City, so as long as the shopkeeper of Cheng Yaojin's shop was killed, Yang Yu would definitely get the news, and now he was waiting for Yang Yu to come to his door.

After Zheng Shanguo sat in the living room for a while, the butler came in and said to Zheng Shanguo: "Master, there are people outside who want to see the master. It says they are Mr. Yang's subordinates, and they want to meet the master for something."

Knowing that Yang Yu's people were coming, Zheng Shanguo said to the housekeeper, "Let him in. If you don't change someone to come to me in a while, they all say that I have something to do and don't have time to receive them. I will go to them after I finish my work."

"It's the master, the little one understands, and the little one is going to be busy now."

Not long after, the butler brought Chen Gang who came to Zheng Shanguo last time, and walked into the living room. The butler said to Zheng Shanguo, "Master, the man has already been brought. Do you have any other orders, Master?"

"No more, butler, go get busy, don't let anyone in, I have something to discuss with Mr. Chen."

"Yes"

The butler went out after speaking, and closed the door when he went out. The butler knew that his master had important matters to discuss with Mr. Chen, so he didn't dare to disturb him, and walked out quickly.
