Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 83 Pufferfish Soup

In the evening, He Liu, who had been sleeping for a whole day, finally woke up.He stretched long, and said to himself: "Since entering Beizhen Fusi, I have never slept so comfortably."

Bai Xiaoyan said to He Liu: "Master Liu, are you up? I'll ask my servant to prepare dinner for you."

He Liudao: "No busy, Miss Bai, I have something to tell you."

Bai Xiaoyan walked up to He Liu: "Sixth Lord, please tell me."

He Liudao: "I said last night that I will not force a woman to do anything she doesn't want to do. But, if you let your old lady know that you are not with me... you will inevitably suffer Yes. I mean, externally, you just tell me to stay up all night with me to do that thing. This is good for you. How can a stunning woman like you choose a young man who looks like Pan An to be your wishful husband? .Isn’t it a violent thing to hand over your body to a 40-year-old man?”

Bai Xiaoyan nodded: "It's all according to Liu Ye's orders."

The old bustard suddenly came outside the boudoir and shouted, "Has Liu Ye got up?"

He Liu shouted through the door: "Get up, what's the matter?"

The old bustard said: "There is a man named Lao Hu who says he is your subordinate and wants to find you!"

He Liu shouted: "No! Master Liu and Miss Bai are busy! I don't have time to see him. Let him live in Nanjing Jinyiwei's left-behind yamen for a few days!"

The madam obediently left.

He Liu lived in Yihonglou for four days.

During this period, whether it was Lao Hu who came to look for him or Lu Da who came to look for him, he never saw him.

On this day, He Liu suddenly asked the bustard to find Lu Da at the Jinyiwei Yamen in Nanjing.

He Liu said to Lu Da, "Miss Bai wants to see the night view of the Yangzhou Grand Canal."

Lu Da laughed and said, "It's easy. The Qinhuai River in Nanjing is connected to the Yangzhou Grand Canal! You only need to hire a cruise ship, and you can go to the Yangzhou Grand Canal in one day."

He Liudao: "Then rent a cruise ship. Oh, forget it, envoy Lu Zhenfu spent a lot of money in order to fulfill the good deeds between me and Miss Bai! I'll let Lao Hu do the chartering of the boat. Lu Zhenfu If you want to go with us, I will buy you a drink on the boat!"

As soon as He Liu finished speaking, Lao Hu came to lean on the red building.

He Liu said to the old Hu: "Go to the Qinhuai River and hire a cruise ship. Let's go up the river and go to Yangzhou to see the night view of the Grand Canal."

Old Hu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Sixth Master."

Early the next morning, He Liu led Bai Xiaoyan to the Qinhuai River and boarded a cruise ship.

This cruise ship is half the size of a Fuchuan.There are more than a dozen boatmen on board.

Lao Hu has already prepared a banquet on the boat.

Not long after, Lu Da also led dozens of his men to the side of the boat.

He Liu said to Lu Da: "We two brothers are going to Yangzhou to play, why do you bring so many people? Are you afraid that there will be tigers on this boat eating you? Although women are tigers, Miss Xiaoyan is a docile rabbit."

Lu Da hesitated for a while, and said to his subordinates: "Go back to the yamen."

Luda boarded the cruise ship.The boatman sailed towards Yangzhou.

He Liu sat on the upper part of the cabin, with Bai Xiaoyan by his side.He raised his wine glass: "I've been in Nanjing for the past few days, and the envoy Duolao Lu is taking care of me. This glass of wine is my respect to you!"

Lu Da drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, happy!" He Liu said.

Lao Hu brought three bowls of Huaiyang famous dish: puffer fish soup.

Although fugu is highly poisonous, famous chefs in Huaiyang have a way to release fugu blood to remove fugu poison.The deliciousness of puffer fish soup is the best in the world.

He Liu and Lu Da feasted on it.

Lao Hu brought another large plate of hairy crabs.Bai Mengxue carefully shaved the crab meat for He Liu with a small knife.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.He Liu suddenly asked Lu Da: "Master Lu Zhen, is the private salt business in the south of the Yangtze River going well?"

Lu Da was stunned: "Why did the sixth master say such a thing?"

He Liu glanced at Lu Da: "Isn't Fushi Lu's private salt business doing a lot?"

Lu Da said angrily: "Who is this talking nonsense in front of Master Liu? Selling private salt is a deadly crime! How could I get involved in that business?"

He Liu laughed loudly: "Provost Lu Zhen, don't pretend! One of the six major private salt dealers in the south of the Yangtze River is you, Provost Lu Zhen of Nanjing Jinyiwei. I have already found out about this matter!"

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Da's body.He didn't know how much He Liu knew about him selling illegal salt.

Lu Da gritted his teeth and said almost word for word, "Sixth Lord, don't wrong a good person out of thin air!"

He Liu smiled and said, "Wronged a good person? Whether you are a good person or not, it will be clear if you are arrested and interrogated."

Lu Da patted the table: "Master Liu, I am also the governor of Nanjing Jinyiwei! Although according to Jinyiwei's family rules, I am your subordinate, but according to the law of the country, I am your superior! You have no right to arrest yourself casually." the superior."

He Liu sneered: "There is no one in this world who Beizhen Fusi dare not arrest!"

Lu Da said angrily: "Don't forget, this is on my land! If you want to arrest me, you have to ask my brothers..."

After Lu Da said this, he suddenly realized: What is his land?At this moment, the ship has already sailed out of Nanjing.The brothers under him are hundreds of miles away from him!

He Liu smiled and said, "Speak, let's continue. I'd like to see if Lu Zhenfu yells, whether your brothers can hear it in Nanjing."

Lu Da pulled out his waist knife in a "babble": "Master Liu, if you want to slander a good person at will, don't blame me for being rude! Heh, as far as I know, Master Liu, you don't have half a cent of martial arts. I, Lu Da, can play A master of knives!"

He Liu slapped his chin.

Lao Hu led a dozen "boatmen" into the cabin.These boatmen were all pretended by He Liu's wrestlers.Each of them had a dagger in their hand.Several of them were still holding Fran's pistols.

He Liu said to Lu Da: "Are you a master of swords? I'd like to see if your sword is faster, or Franji's gun is faster!"

Lu Da knew very well the truth that a hero does not suffer from immediate losses.Seeing that He Liufang had a large number of people, he stopped using force, and put the waist knife back into the scabbard: "Liu Ye, since you came to Nanjing, it seems that the subordinates have not offended you, right? Why are you being aggressive?" ?”

He Liu said solemnly: "You didn't offend me. But you sold private salt, which led to the court's salt tax deficit, offending the entire court and the emperor."

Lu Da is a well-boiled duck with a mouth that can't be cooked. He retorted: "I said, I don't know anything about illegal salt. Sixth Master, don't slander good people out of thin air."

He Liu smiled again: "Don't tell me, Beizhen Fusi likes to slander good people out of thin air."

Lu Da said angrily: "If Liu Ye says that, I will go to Beijing and sue Commander Lu for abusing your power!"

He Liu frowned: "Accuse me? Do you think you are destined to go to Beijing? Is the root of your tongue a little numb?"

Lu Da's expression changed: "He Liu, did you poison the food?"

He Liu got up: "That's right. How about the puffer fish soup just now? The cook didn't bleed the puffer fish in your bowl of soup! The puffer fish is poisonous, and the poisoned person will enter the Temple of Yama in half an hour. Only gastrodia elata powder can cure it." .”

He Liu took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve: "This medicine bottle contains gastrodia elata powder. You have half an hour to confess how you resold illegal salt. If you don't recruit for half an hour, I will throw the gastrodia elata powder in the Go to the river. When the time comes, go and sue King Yama for abuse of power!"
