Chapter 256 Kill the puppy and eat the monkey brain
After one month of Yu Fan's governance, Jianye has made considerable progress. The prosperity of Jianye has not been affected at all by the war.
Jianye was originally a big city in the east of the Yangtze River. After Yu Fan took office, he enacted the Jingchu Law. Jianye's market and night market were opened. The huge commercial support attracted more people and allowed Jianye's economy and people's livelihood to recover.
"Wow! Is this a lantern?"
"Is the night market so beautiful? This is my first time seeing it!"
Shopping is a part of a woman's nature. Liu Cong and Sun Shao were already tired and hungry. However, Da Qiao was still happily giving advice.
"Xiangyang is more prosperous than here. Madam, please save some energy to go to Xiangyang and play again." Liu Cong advised Da Qiao with a bitter face.
Da Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, let's go have dinner."
Liu Cong and Sun Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled her forward and walked quickly to the restaurant in front. They were accompanied by Xing Daorong and other guards, and they walked easily in the crowded flow of people.
"Woof, woof woof..."
Suddenly, a little black dog appeared out of nowhere, lying in front of Liu Cong and others, grinning at them.
"Puppy! Come here, tsk tsk..." Sun Shao's eyes lit up, he broke free from Liu Cong and Da Qiao's hands and ran over to pet the puppy.
"Haha... Huh..." The puppy was not afraid when he saw a stranger. He grinned and stretched out his tongue to lick Sun Shao's hand.
Sun Shao squatted on the ground and played with the puppy. He turned back to look at Da Qiao and said, "Mom, I want to raise it."
Da Qiao frowned and walked over and pulled him up, "Why should I raise him? Who knows where this wild dog came from. If it bites you, you won't even have time to cry."
Perhaps every child loves small animals, but every mother resists them.
Sun Shao took Da Qiao's hand and said aggrievedly, "Mom, it's so cute, just let me raise it."
Liu Cong came over and put his arm around Da Qiao's shoulders and said, "You can take care of Shao'er if you want. It's not like we can't afford it."
"Great! Father is so kind! Long live father!" Sun Shao jumped up from where he was with excitement, then squatted down to tease the puppy again.
Da Qiao rolled his eyes at Liu Cong and said, "Just spoil him."
"Presumptuous! Get it for me!"
While he was talking, Xing Daorong led several soldiers to subdue a man.
"What's going on?" Liu Cong looked at the soldiers guarding the perimeter and asked.
Xing Daorong trotted over and cupped his hands and said, "Lord, the man outside took a kitchen knife and directly attacked the bodyguard. The general finally captured him."
Liu Cong looked at the puppy on the ground, thoughtfully, "Bring it here and have a look."
"Let me go! Let me go! Why are you arresting me?"
When the man was escorted by two soldiers, he was still resisting.
"Kneel down!" the soldiers shouted while holding him down.
The man was also stubborn, "Don't kneel! I'm not committing a crime by catching my dog. Why do you arrest me?"
Liu Cong waved his hand, and the soldier said nothing but continued to hold him. Liu Cong stepped forward and asked, "You are holding your dog, where is your dog?"
The man pursed his lips at Sun Shao, who was playing with the dog on the ground, "Isn't that right?"
Liu Cong looked at it and said, "Then what are you doing with the kitchen knife?"
This man is also a bully. When he saw so many soldiers, he actually dared to rush over with a kitchen knife.
The man looked at Liu Cong and replied, "Kill the dog."
Liu Cong was startled, pointed at the puppy on the ground and said, "Are you going to kill such a small dog?"
The man sighed and said, "There is nothing I can do. The young master of the Lin family wants to eat puppy meat. If I don't kill the dog for him, he will dare to kill me."
Liu Cong frowned and said, "Let him go and talk about it in detail."
The soldier let go of the man, and the man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Originally, we were engaged in small business. After the war ended last month, my brother and I responded to the government policy and opened a restaurant here."
"But the young master of the Lin family has come here not only once but twice. He refused to pay for meals and even dared to beat people and smash up the store! We went to the government to file a complaint, but not only did we get no news, we were warned again by the young master of the Lin family."
"The old dog at home recently gave birth to a litter of nine puppies in total. The young master of the Lin family eats one every time he comes here. This is already the fifth one."
As he said that, the man ignored the cold winter, lifted up his shirt, pointed at the bruises on his stomach and said, "Look, this is what the young master of the Lin family beat, and the government doesn't care. What can we do? We little people
How dare you challenge these aristocratic families?"
Liu Cong said with a gloomy face, "Where is your restaurant? We want to go to dinner."
The reason Liu Cong is unhappy is that Yu Fan has been here for almost a month. Is this how he handles government affairs?
The man pointed not far ahead, "It's right in front. I'll take you there. Can you return the dog to me first?"
Xing Daorong stepped forward and said, "We bought this dog."
The man waved his hands hurriedly, "That's no good. This dog is for the young master of the Lin family. You can't buy it."
Xing Daorong pulled him and said, "Lead the way, do you think we can't handle the Lin family's fart young master?"
The man looked at the guards around him, nodded and led the way.
Liu Cong turned around and pulled Da Qiao, who closed his eyes, and said, "Let's watch my husband catch the bad guys."
Da Qiao smiled and said, "You are so arrogant."
Sun Shao picked up the puppy and followed it.
Xing Daorong led the soldiers into the store, looked around and said, "Which one is Lin Hai?"
There were not many customers in the store. There were five or six scholars around a table. One of them stood up and said to Xing Daorong, "I'm in Linhai. I wonder who the general is?"
Xing Daorong glanced at him and ignored him, "Everyone who came out of Lin Hai's table, please get out! I'll book this store today!"
Seeing these wolf-like soldiers, the customers in the store quickly stood up and ran outside.
After everyone in the store had cleaned up, Xing Daorong ran out and smiled at Liu Cong, "My lord, the inside has been cleaned up. Only Lin Hai remains."
Liu Cong nodded and pulled Da Qiao and Sun Shao into the store.
After entering the door, Liu Cong went directly to Lin Hai's table. When they saw the sergeants approaching Liu Cong surrounded by them, they quickly stood up and saluted, "I'll pay my respects to the Marquis of Chu!"
It is true that a lot of newspapers are sold, but only that group of people can read. The common people think that the time spent reading newspapers is not as good as planting two acres of land. After all, Jiangdong has just been captured, and the people are not so supportive of Liu Cong, and Jingchu is not
It's the same. Common people have long been accustomed to newspapers. Therefore, most of the people who recognize Liu Cong are children from aristocratic families.
Liu Cong sat down and took a look. There were three dishes on the table, braised sturgeon, braised mutton, and a monkey!
Yes, it's a monkey. There is a hole in the middle of the table, and there is an iron cage on the ground. The monkey inside is fixed, and the monkey's heavenly spirit cover is cut open, revealing the bright red monkey brain!
The spoon next to it is used to use the boiling hot soup to wash the monkey's brain. As for the monkey in the cage, he has long closed his eyes and is unconscious.
Sun Shao was so frightened that he hid behind Xing Daorong, while Da Qiao stood behind Liu Cong and retched.
Liu Cong frowned and said, "Xing Daorong, send the madam and young master to the box."
"promise."
After Da Qiao left, Liu Cong picked up a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up a piece of monkey brain and put it into his mouth!
"Well, it tastes really good. Who invented this dish?"
