A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

But Shen An, who returned home, had a headache.

A puppy stood pitifully outside the kitchen, while on the other side, Huahua stared at its own kind, with the intention of biting it to death.

Guoguo was holding Huahua and muttering: "...You are not allowed to bite it. Can you be its father?"

Huahua's eyes were full of disdain, the dog's head shook, and he snorted.

Zeng Ermei got a bowl of porridge from it and put it on the ground. The puppy came over wagging its tail, sniffed it first, and then stuck out its tongue to lick it.

"elder brother."

Seeing her brother come home, Guoguo immediately talked about the advantages of raising a puppy, but Shen An just shook his head.

"It's not that our family can't afford to raise her, but Huahua's temperament will cause fights with puppies, and the family will be in a state of chaos."

Shen An had a dog in his previous life. When two dogs are together, their destructive power will really double.

After finally persuading her sister, Shen An decided to give the puppy away, and Su Yan came.

Su Yan brought gifts and a group of students.

More than a dozen students were standing in the courtyard. Shen An smiled and said, "Why does a certain person look like he has a strong army?"

Su Yan said: "Waiting for the imperial edict, they are about to take part in the spring examination, and they said they are here to ask for your advice."

Mr. Zhuang curled his lips on the side, thinking that today was the first day of the new year. If he came to the door at this time, he must be here to show his familiarity.

"If you study hard on weekdays, you don't have to worry about anything now."

Shen An doesn't think it's a bad thing to be motivated. These young people are full of energy. They are looking forward to the future and can't wait to pass that level. But they are worried, so they come looking for encouragement and recognition.

A student said: "Bei Zhao, most of the students outside have learned our method, this year..."

He lowered his head, which was a sign of lack of confidence.

Shen An looked at these students and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. Although we all do more questions, the questions we do are different from them."

The students were immersed in studying all day long and didn't pay much attention to the outside world, so they were a little confused.

Shen An said: "Don't worry, the results will be different if the questions are different."

These students obviously didn't believe it, and Shen An smiled.

The students sat for a while and Shen An enlightened them. At least they looked in good spirits when they left.

I have the potential to be a psychiatrist!

Shen An was very proud. After the door closed, his eyes became colder.

"Made! Is the Liao envoy crazy?"

Chen Luo on the wall loosened his hands and fell down.

"Mr. Lang, there are at least three people."

Shen An said coldly: "Ask Huang Chun, was it the first day of Jiayou's eighth year that he was lazy?"

Chen Luo nodded and quietly went out through the back door.

Wen Xiaozhong also went out quietly.

Shen An stood in front of the main hall, looking at the closed door with a faint look.

Zhuanglao said beside him: "Lang Jun, the Liao people's secret agent... wouldn't it be good to let the people from the Imperial City Department take action?"

"That's good, but at this moment the Song Dynasty needs to use thunderous means to scare the Liao people, lest they mistakenly think this is an opportunity."

Zhuang Laoshi lowered his head and thought for a while, "Lang Jun, are you talking about the official family being ill and unable to afford it?"

"right."

Shen An said calmly: "The so-called martial arts performance during the banquet is actually just that the Liao envoy wanted to anger the Song Dynasty and then see the official's condition. Now he took the risk and hired many secret spies for the same purpose. If the official's situation is not good Well...the Liao people will definitely encourage the Xixia people to take action."

The relationship between the three countries is unclear, but it is certain that they restrain each other.

"Mr. Lang, Wen Xiaozhong touched it."

"in spite of."

…

In a home on Yulin Lane, the owner's family of five were tied up in the bedroom. They could only sob helplessly at this moment.

And right next to the gate, a man was lying on the wall looking at the Shen family diagonally opposite. A man sat below, on guard.

"The one who came out is...Chen Luo."

"That Wen Xiaozhong still hasn't moved?"

"Shen An likes to play, they will definitely go out these days."

"Then do you want to kill Shen An?"

"This is Bianliang. If anyone dares to do that, Zhang Bianba will go crazy and hunt us down from heaven to earth."

The man sitting on the ground asked: "Do you think that if we kill Shen An, will Zhang Baibian ask someone to assassinate our officials?"

"I must dare, otherwise the Imperial City Division will become a coward."

The man shook his head and said casually: "But it has nothing to do with us... huh?"

He felt something move in the corner of his eye and turned his head.

A small drill flew over at high speed, originally aimed at his temple, but now it was aimed at the center of his eyebrows because of his tilt of the head.

The small drill was pierced into the center of the eyebrow. When the man on the wall heard the movement, he lowered his head and glanced, and then exerted force on his waist and abdomen, preparing to roll out...

A black shadow was rushing towards him at high speed, and he had to get out before the shadow could get close, even if he was discovered.

The black shadow raised his hand, and a noose accurately wrapped around the man's neck.

puff!

The man fell heavily to the ground. He grabbed the rope around his neck that was getting tighter and tighter with both hands, and there was a look of despair in his eyes.

Wen Xiaozhong retracted the rope as he walked, and when he came closer, he knelt down heavily on one knee.

puff!

The man's eyes turned white after receiving such a heavy blow to his throat, and he struggled violently.

"Is this Wen Xiaozhong?"

On the wall of the house next door, several spies from the Imperial City Division stared at this scene in stunned silence.

"He hid there for half an hour, just waiting for these two people to relax. Such patience..."

"If he wants to assassinate someone, he will probably have to kill him with a ray of light on his back."

"It's our turn!"

Several spies nodded, and one of them asked: "How many people?"

"Nine people."

"place!"

"Five people from Yulin Lane and four people from Temple Bridge."

"Send the signal and take action!"

"ah……"

A secret agent looked up to the sky and screamed.

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

Yulin Alley was boiling in an instant. On the walls and trees, spies from the Imperial City Department rushed out in a swaggering manner.

Several men pretended to be customers eating across the street. When they saw this, they lifted the stall and someone kicked over the stove, causing a commotion.

They ran to both ends separately, but the people from the Imperial City Division blocked the way.

Several men looked at each other, but there was no sign of panic.

They took out their short blades and charged forward fiercely.

"The people from the Imperial City Department have crossbows!"

Shen An thinks these people are quite stupid, no, very stupid.

Crossbows were fired, and the alley smelled of blood.

After watching the chase scene, Shen An yawned and asked, "The Liao people are going to feel bad."

"The Liao people have many spies in Bianliang, but not many elites. Those who came out today are all elites. Without them, the Imperial City Division can save a lot of things."

Zhang Baba stood outside the gate of Shen An's house, a little dissatisfied that his men used crossbows.

In his opinion, the Imperial City Division should retaliate in kind and use assassination to kill his opponents.

But Shen An was very satisfied: "If you can kill people with a crossbow, don't use a knife or a gun."

"But this is a bit of a sign of weakness."

Since he is a secret spy, he should be silent. What is the difference between using a crossbow and an army?

Shen An looked at him and sighed: "Is face more important, or the lives of your subordinates?"

Well!

Everyone in the Imperial City Department blushed when they saw him.

Damn it! He actually blushes?

Zhang Baibian will always have that dead face. Let alone blush, his face will never turn pale.

These words seemed to hit his lungs. Shen An had no intention of offending anyone, "Well...the smell of blood will scare children, should we clean it up?"

Zhang Baba said calmly: "Why is it the Imperial City Division?"

Shen An looked at him in disbelief and said in a sad tone: "There are so many of you!"

But you have a lot of family too!

Zhang Ba, as the Imperial City Secretary, knew that ordinary people would dare to cheat like him. When he met Shen An today, he felt numb.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Shen An turned around and entered the house, and then heard him shout: "Er Mei, get Zhang Douzhi some bacon!"

The people in the Imperial City Department looked at each other in confusion, feeling that Shen An's use of bacon as a reward was really too much.

Why don't you prepare some big dishes to comfort us?

Everyone felt that they all knew he would refuse, so someone shouted: "Get the corpse away."

We don't care about the rest. If you have the ability, just ask the people from the Inspection Department to do the work.

"Have someone clean it up."

"Everyone knows..."

Everyone felt that Zhang Baibian was probably ill.

Never have I, the Imperial City Secretary, been so humble!

Zhang Baba left with his hands behind his hands. He looked at the sky and suddenly felt not very promising.

Shen's marinated meat is sliced ​​into thin slices. Looking at the sky through this slice of meat, you will feel alive.

And the smell of marinated meat...

There are pine and cypress branches, peels, and fruit branches... It is said that it needs to be smoked for a day and a night.

These flavors are soaked into the meat, hung on the kitchen beam, smoked every day...

…

"This needs to be washed with rice water and rinsed clean..."

Shen An put the washed bacon into the water and boiled it.

The water is boiling and the marinated meat is tumbling up and down inside.

"Did you see that? All the black stuff has been cooked out, and a lot of excess salt has also been cooked out..."

"I saw it."

Zeng Ermei said with some embarrassment: "In the past, I thought that salt was expensive, so I refused to cook it and just steamed it in the pot..."

"Salt is expensive?"

What nonsense!

"Salt is expensive only because all dynasties have wanted to make money from it. Salt and iron are the two most powerful tools for officials to make money. But is there a shortage of salt? There is no shortage."

Once production is liberalized, the price of salt will be impressively low.

"The whole family can eat such salty food without fear of being salted to death."

Steam the cooked marinated meat in a pot, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net and then slice it while it is hot.

"It must be served while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good if it's cold."

Shen An was cutting meat while talking, and he was very calm about doing two things.

My sword skills are getting better and better!

"Brother, are you okay?"

The fruits come here looking for taste and their mouths water.

"immediately."

Shen An finished cutting the last piece and reached out to pick it up.

The meat slices are transparent, and when you look closely, you can see many subtle changes inside.

Putting the meat slices into Guoguo's mouth, Guoguo squinted and let the smell of bacon hit him.

"tasty!"
