Chapter 289: Qin Chaos (9)
"Hmm? Could it be that you really have some news from the palace here?"
Yi Ren just asked casually, but he didn't pay attention to it. He thought how could such a small postmaster know the details of the palace? Even if he knew it, he would probably have heard of it and should not believe it all. But seeing his appearance at this time, he seemed to really know something, which aroused Yi Ren's interest and signaled him to continue speaking.
"A few days ago, a whistleblower who was passing the message passed by here. When changing horses here, Xiaodi talked to him a few words. From him, he learned that the king seemed to be critically ill and urgently called the third prince back to the city. I think it must be a case of a change in the city. Otherwise, with the king's style of dealing with things, it would not be that the third prince was transferred back during the war in Wei."
"It's interesting."
Yi Ren smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, Lu Da next to him took over the conversation: "Apart from these, is there any other news? It's okay if you are not from the palace."
The official secretary looked embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a Zi Chou Yin Mao. Lu Da knew that he really didn't know anything, so he no longer had trouble for him. He let him go and prepare some food.
"It's really interesting." Lu Da smiled coldly and waved his subordinates to the wing rooms on both sides. Only he and Yi Ren, plus two guards were left in the main hall.
After seeing Lu Da’s arrangement, Yi Ren seemed a little surprised. Seeing that he was all his own people, Yi Ren walked to Lu Da and asked quietly, "What? Is there anything wrong?"
"It's not convenient to say whether it's right or wrong, but it's always right to be more vigilant. I don't think it will take long to know the result."
The thin postmaster first went to the wing rooms on both sides to add hot water to the guards. Then he came to the kitchen at the corner of the yard and saw that the kitchen was steaming hot, and a few smoked black stoves were spitting out flames. The big pot on the stove was whispering and whispering, and I didn't know what was stewed inside.
"Have you put everything in?"
Yicheng leaned against the door and looked at the middle of the yard with a smile on his face. It seemed like he was asking about the food, but in fact what he said had nothing to do with the food.
"Don't worry, if you take enough, you will definitely have an attack after a cup of tea. There is no cure after the attack!"
The fat chef wiped the greasy face with his hands, reached out and uncovered the lid on the big pot, and saw the soup inside rolling. Pieces of the meat in the recipe were rising and falling, and it was already stewed soft.
The chef inserted it with chopsticks, sniffed hard, and seemed to swallow his saliva secretly. Seeing this, Yi Cheng couldn't help but look disgusted, but he suppressed the discomfort and continued, "The ingredients have been added. If you want to taste it, make a pot again after you finish it! It's almost cooked, let Xiaojiu and the others send it in!"
"I know, I know."
After clenching the whistle arrows in his sleeves, a smile appeared on Yicheng's face and walked towards the main room first.
Soon, a pot of cooked meat was brought in by the officials from the post station one by one. He placed it on the table of everyone. The postmaster bowed and smiled, "You have worked hard all the way, and in a hurry, the station couldn't make up too fine food. I hope you can forgive me. Fortunately, the pork reserves are sufficient. Although the taste is average, the better is that it is enough. You can eat it openly."
Yi Ren picked up a piece of it strangely, and felt a strange fragrance hit his nostrils. He looked at it carefully again, looked up and asked the official secretary, "I have eaten the porcine meat, have you never seen it so tender?"
The official lord beat him up and said, "The pig beasts raised in different waters and soils are probably different. The flesh is naturally different. If the officials have something to do, I will retreat first and not disturb you."
Seeing that the postmaster was about to withdraw, Lu Da suddenly called him, and only heard Lu Da say, "I will wait for the postmaster to arrive at the postmaster. It's very hard for him to run around, so why not sit down and have something together."
The postmaster smiled slightly and said humbly: "Where is my place in front of you, I have to go to the kitchen to see it. Please use it slowly, just call me if you have something to do." After that, he got up and walked out again.
Lu Da knocked on the copper basin that contained the meat and said slowly: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Let's talk about it first, what should we do with such a basin of human flesh?"
What? Human flesh!
When he heard this, everyone was shocked. The strange man threw away the piece of flesh he picked up and leaned back involuntarily. However, the strange feeling spread throughout his body along his arms, causing the veins behind his neck to pound.
The Yicheng's face turned pale, but he was still holding on and said angrily: "This Shangguan can eat food, but he can't talk nonsense. Why do you say that this basin is filled with human flesh? Are you relying on your high official position and powerfulness to bully us villains? If you don't explain clearly, the villain must sue the king's palace and ask the king to give the villain a cleansing!"
Judging from his indignant appearance, he seemed to have suffered a great grievance. If the person who was unsure in his heart might have really moved his words, but Lu Da has been traveling around the country for so many years and has never seen any tricks. He is really sure to say that this is human flesh. According to rumors, human flesh is also called five-spice meat. It is said that there is a strange fragrance after adding spices to stew. When Lu Da first entered the world, he once chased a man-cannibal evil path. When he attacked that day, the evil path was stewed with a pot of meat. Lu Da hid on the beam and smelled it for half an hour. It can be said that he still remembers this strange fragrance. As soon as the meat was served on the table today, the familiar taste immediately aroused Lu Da's alertness and confirmed Lu Da's guess from another angle.
"You want me to explain it clearly? Simple!"
Lu Da calmly picked up a piece of meat and threw it on the table. He looked up and said to the Yicheng, "Since you said this is pork meat, please try it for us if it is cooked!"
"You! You're too bullying!"
"Don't mention those useless things, whether to eat them or not!"
Faced with Lu Da’s threat, Yicheng suddenly calmed down and saw him standing by the door of the house and laughing strangely at the people in the house.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
"I didn't expect it, but it still didn't work. Do you know that I have always been a gentleman? I don't want to move! You are like those idiots in the side rooms. Wouldn't there be so much trouble if you eat it well!"
Yicheng, oh no, now he should be called Sui Liu.
Sui Liu laughed wildly, trying to see a terrified expression on the faces of the people in the hall. It's a pity that except for his slightly exaggerated laughter, everyone was looking at themselves with the eyes of monkeys. What's going on? Are they scared to death?
As he smiled, Sui Liu couldn't laugh anymore. It felt bad that no one would pay attention to him, which made Sui Liu very unable to come to Taiwan.
Lu Da buckled his nose bored and cursed: "It's so unprofessional. Who sent this idiot!"
