Chapter 9: The Southern Tour of the Messenger (Twenty)

Before he knew it, the sun shadow was setting, Dong Xiaowan was the host, and personally cooked to clean up Zhu Yinglong and his newly recognized sisters and shareholders.

A series of Dong Xiaowan's specialty dishes such as "Qiansong Fish and Rice", "Crab Fresh Blossom Flower", "Tiger Skin Sea Cucumber", "Flower Fresh Flowers" were served one by one on the dining table. The colors were bright, the fragrance was swaying, and the shape was unique. It looked even more like a chattering work of art, which made people feel unbearable to savor the chopsticks.

Dong Xiaowan is known as "Dong Cai" in things, and her "recipe" is also "poetry". For example, cooking clams on the rain leek plate, cutting eels on the frost sunflower cauldron. The yellow croaker is cheap, and the white shrimps are fresh after drowning. The meaning is that the selection of ingredients should be carefully selected. "Cooking clams" should choose leeks after the rain, and "Cooking eels" should pick the sunflower leaves from the frost. The yellow croaker is the best salvaged before the Little Heat. The white shrimps should be selected to be delicious after the Qingming Festival. For example, Yu Zi Qinhuai accepted a female disciple, Du Sheng stepped in and worked as well. Bai Jun also put it in the pot today. This is clearly the key to making "fish (yu) belly (du) white chicken". In addition, the "Dong meat" who was once called "the best in the world" by Shi Kefa, a famous anti-Qing general, also has a vivid "cut poem": the eyes and eyes are quick, the sound of the board is heard, the knife shows its strength, and the pieces produce salivation.

Although the name of "Dong Rou" is a bit abrupt and beautiful, it is in line with "Dongpo Rou". In addition, Xiaowan is also good at making sugar spots. When she was in Qinhuai, she used sesame, fried noodles, malt sugar, pine nuts, peach kernels and sesame oil as raw materials to make crispy candies, cut into cubes that are five centimeters long, three centimeters wide, and one centimeter thick. This crispy candies are yellow on the outside and crispy on the inside, sweet but not greasy. People call them "Dong Tang". Now Yangzhou famous spots are filled with fragrant Dong Tang (also called Cunjin Dong Tang) and rolled crispy Dong Tang (also called sesame crispy candies), which shows that Dong Xiaowan is listed as one of the top ten famous chefs in Chinese history, which is well-deserved.

How can there be no wine when there is food? In fact, the various homemade sweet wines made by Dong Xiaowan are also unique. What drinks are there in the season? Today, the peach blossom dew wine is the peach blossom dew wine. Dong Xiaowan admires himself and despises the powerful. Even if she is a prince or a governor, if she doesn't fall into her eyes, she will not be able to drink the peach blossom dew brewed by herself.

After drinking a few cups of peach blossom dew, the girls' pretty faces were red. Under the candlelight, their beautiful eyes were filled with affection, adding a bit of temptation.

The wine is not intoxicating, the person is drunk, the color is not charming, and the person is fascinated by himself. Zhu Yinglong, who is in the country of fragrance, couldn't help but feel a little bit. He unconsciously stretched out one hand to quietly hold the smooth and tender horn of Dong Xiaowan who was sitting beside him and accompanying the guests in his hand.

Dong Xiaowan was shocked. She never thought that Mr. Wu, who looked like a humble gentleman, would secretly make such a frivolous act. Her face froze and was about to happen. But then she thought that it was nothing if she helped her so much and it would be cheaper for him. As long as he didn't do it too much, her face slowed down again, but her pretty face became even more rosy, and her thin bright red cherry lips were even more attractive.

How could he not be able to enjoy the fun without singing and dancing? Yang Lianying was very active and suggested, and immediately received everyone's approval. He clapped loudly. Dong Xiaowan also took the opportunity to take his hand back and quietly glanced at Zhu Yinglong's face. He found that there was no change. He was sure in his heart. Fortunately, he did not have an attack. I thought he might just be an unconscious action.

Li Xiang, Yang Lianying, Gu Hengbo, Bian Yujing, Guan Baimen and others successively activated their pearl lips and sang several songs such as "Picking the Rock Song", "Picking a Smiling Flower", "Midnight Song", "Mulan Ci", "Xijiang Yue". It was Dong Xiaowan's turn, she held her jade pipa with her, rubbed her jade fingers gently, and played the song "Spring River Flower Moon Night".

Dong Xiaowan gently gathered and twisted slowly. When she rose, she was like "the jade beads in Kunshan were scattered", when she fell, she was like the green stream flowing through the flat sand", when she was walking, she was like the wind and lotus dropping autumn dew in the moon pond, and when she was finally "like the wind and spring rain wet the falling flowers". The song ended, and the afterglow had not stopped, washing the silted iceberg in the hearts of everyone.

"Okay, okay, Miss Xiaowan is not only beautiful, but also has a beautiful tone. Come on, brother-in-law, toast you!" Zhu Yinglong happily picked up the wine glass.

Dong Xiaowan smiled and said, "Thank you brother-in-law for your appreciation."

"Please!" Zhu Yinglong laughed, raised his head and drank a glass of Chinese American wine.

"Thank you for the hospitality of Miss Xiaowan. It's getting late. It's time for us to say goodbye tomorrow!" After eating wine, tasting delicious food, saying what to say, and doing what to do. It's time for us to do. Zhu Yinglong led the girls to get up and say goodbye to the hotel, and agreed on the time and place for meeting tomorrow.

Dong Xiaowan reluctantly sent everyone out the door, knowing that everyone's backs disappeared from the dark side, and then returned.

Who is this Mr. Wu? Why did he help him like this? Is it because of the sake of her wives? He regards money as dirt. What does this Mr. Wu do? Mr. Erjiao, who has suddenly left Suzhou for six years, suddenly married Mr. Wu, and Gu Hengbo, Kou Baimen and Chen Yuanyuan seem to have followed him. What skills did Mr. Wu use to make five talented women who are fascinating to the whole country and the Bian sisters in Nanjing seem to have a good relationship with them. With seven or eight faces, they kept flashing in Dong Xiaowan's mind, and finally turned into a clearer and clearer face, like an inlay, deeply embedded in her mind!

Just when Dong Xiaowan led Zhu Yinglong and his party to visit Suzhou, and was so happy, a storm that shocked the Jiangnan officialdom was formed on the East China Sea.

Shi Kefa's inspection in the Northeast was just a pretext. What he received was not the transfer order from the cabinet, but Zhu Yinglong's secret order, but the cabinet covered it. In fact, Shi Kefa left Shanhaiguan and left his brigade to change course from Juhua Island to sea. He soon arrived at the base of the Jeju Island of the Navy East China Sea Fleet, and then took a warship to Naba Military Port in Ryukyu Province. After arriving in Naba, he secretly simple General Chen Guang, the commander of the Navy East China Sea Fleet, took out the emperor's secret order and asked him to send a warship to write down the smuggling ships that were taken out from Shanghai Customs. Because the maritime anti-smuggling team had been bribed and bribed, he could only use the navy.

I thought the emperor left Nanjing and went to Suzhou, but now he was trapped in a gentle village and could not extricate himself. Qian Longxi and others became bolder and encouraged Tian Wan to agree to re-ship. Tian Wan was a little worried and disagreed, but he could not resist Qian Longxi and others' persuasion. There was pressure from the superiors. Tian Wan agreed to ship the goods, and this time it was loading the goods accumulated at home to sea. What they didn't expect was that a huge net was already open on the sea, waiting for them!

The cargo of more than eighty ships and millions of silver dragons were not only captured by people, but also captured the sea buyers who were connected to the goods.

This is not something that can be found without trial. The first trial was a frightening one. Shi Kefa only received a secret order to arrest the batch of smuggled goods and people at sea, but he did not expect that there would be a huge case of collective smuggling and embezzlement and bribery!

The case was only opened up a corner, and Shi Kefa saw how deep the water was. It not only involved the relatives of the Daohuang, but also local officials and local officials at all levels. The officials involved in the case were conservatively estimated to have more than 100 people. The amount involved was even more scary, almost half of the current annual taxes.

In such a big case, how many people will be killed? How many families will be destroyed?

How many people have become prisoners of the ranks?

As Zhu Yinglong's most trusted minister and the old man in Qiandi, Shi Kefa knew that once this case was exposed, it would cause a huge shock to the Jiangnan officialdom and even the whole country. The emperor was a person who hated evil, which he knew, but it was involved in the royal relatives and two brothers who were favored by the emperor. You have to be cautious in how to deal with it. It is not bad to hate evil and never favoritism. In the officialdom for many years, Shi Kefa was not the kind of person who was stubborn. The emperor handed over this case to himself, one was to test his ability, and the other was to test whether he could survive in this treacherous officialdom.

Zhu Yinglong soon learned about Shi Kefa’s actions at sea, all the messages and the issuance of the will. This time, all the channels were used by the Eagle Guard. The people from the Military Intelligence Department did not know at all. After Shi Kefa reported the situation, he soon received Zhu Yinglong's instructions to secretly land, go to the Nanjing Military Region to find Xiong Zhaolian, ask him to secretly mobilize the army, and carry out secret arrests according to the list of officials interrogated by the Eagle Guard and he!

The arrest was scheduled for the night of the third day of May. After receiving Zhu Yinglong's secret order, Xiong Zhaolian secretly mobilized a division's troops. In the name of acting, he divided into 216 operation teams according to the 216 people on the list and went to various places secretly. With the support of the precise intelligence of the Eagle Guard, he secretly arrested the criminal officials on the list that night, and no one missed the net!

The arrest of Tian Wan was from the team led by Shi Kefa, and Xiong Zhaolian's troops were not used, and even the navy did not use it. He just brought a few guards who followed him to handle the case.

When Shi Kefa appeared in front of Tian Wan, Tian Wan collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball. He knew that he could not escape this time. The emperor was just acting, and he was just showing it to him. Even though he knew there was danger ahead, he still fell in. This was greed at work!

Tian Wan felt so hatred in his heart. If he resisted, he would have to die. He would also implicate his two sisters and his family. If he surrendered, he would hope that the emperor would spare his life for the sake of his two sisters!

After that unconscious accidental hand-in-hand, Zhu Yinglong did not act out of any extraordinary actions towards Dong Xiaowan, and everything seemed polite. Dong Xiaowan's favor for Zhu Yinglong became increasingly strong and his curiosity became stronger and stronger!

When a woman becomes curious about a man, she is not far from falling in love with this man. This sentence also applies to Dong Xiaowan.

Zhu Yinglong's speech and knowledge are extraordinary, and his attitude is humble. He does not have the condescending and arrogant aura of being in the upper hand, giving people a gentle and drizzle-like feeling!

Huqiu, Hanshan Temple, Fengqiao and other famous attractions in Suzhou have left the footprints of Zhu Yinglong and his group, and also left the laughter and joy all the way.

After staying in Suzhou for ten days, everyone went south to Hangzhou and planned to stay for more than ten days. Then they went to Huangshan in Anhui, Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, Dongting Lake in Hubei, to visit the Red Cliff, climb the Yellow Crane Tower, and then to Chengdu in the country of Tianfu, detour through Xi'an, and Taiyuan to return to Beijing!

As a result, the journey took tens of thousands of kilometers and lasted for more than half a year. By the time I returned to Beijing, it was already winter.

Dong Xiaowan, the beautiful tour guide and cook, was unknowingly abducted to Beijing by Zhu Yinglong. Her sick mother was ordered by Zhu Yinglong to go to the famous doctor Zheng Baoyu to treat him and go north to Beijing together. After Bian Rourou recovered, the two sisters were both smart people, so they realized that Zheng Baoyu and Zhu Yinglong knew each other, but they did not know Zhu Yinglong's true identity. By chance, they learned that Zheng Baoyu accepted Mr. Wu's invitation to go to Beijing to give lectures, so they stopped Zheng Baoyu's car and left Nanjing in the name of a thank-you benefactor to follow Zheng Baoyu into Beijing.
