Chapter 313 Groundnuts

Di Renjie was exhausted, tired and hungry, but at this time he had no time to pay attention to those things.

In the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple, all the thirteen prisoners who were sent to the Yongzhou Yamen died suddenly. This incident not only shocked the Dali Temple, but also made the emperor angry.

The emperor has issued an order to remove the position of Dali Temple Minister, and even the two young ministers of Dali Temple have been demoted to him. Now there is panic in Dali Temple. The emperor specially ordered Yan Liben, the chief of Yongzhou Prefecture, to temporarily act as the Minister of Dali Temple Minister, as a subordinate of Yan Liben's extreme trust, Di Renjie, the military officer of Yongzhou, was transferred to investigate this important case.

The Zhongwei Bridge was in a fire yesterday, burning more than 100 people and more than 300 injured. The printing bureau construction site was still in disarray. Now he has been urgently investigated. Because the deceased is the prisoner of the Zhongwei Bridge Fire Case, the case involves several royal relatives, which makes the matter even more complicated.

"Actually, all this is very obvious. The thirteen dead were fire-blades on Zhongwei Bridge. They had previously confessed that they were instructed by Liu Shuang and the other two. Now they have been transferred from our Yongzhou Prison to the Dali Temple Prison. Within a day, all of them died suddenly. The matter is obvious. This is killing people to silence them."

Yan Liben sat on the court of the Dali Temple yamen, looking through the case files.

"Huaiying, maybe things are as you said, but we want to talk about evidence, and it is useless without evidence. You said that Liu Shuang and the others are behind the scenes, but now all three of them are in the Dali Temple prison."

"It must be their family's actions behind the scenes. I especially suspect that the Censor General Cui Zhiwen, the case was tried by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate. Cui Zhiwen is the assistant of the Censorate, and he has the convenience of intervening."

Thirteen suspects in custody died suddenly in prison, and all signs show that this is the truth of a custody's own theft.

"Maybe, but we need to have evidence. Cui Zhiwen is the chief censor. You are just the military officer of the Yongzhou Law Catholic Army, but not the censor. If you want to impeach Cui Zhiwen, you need to have evidence, otherwise we can't afford his counterattack. Not to mention, this case also involves the queen's uncle's family and her parents' family. The Liu family in Hedong and the Wang family in Taiyuan are noble relatives. If there is no evidence, you will offend them. Have you considered the consequences?"

Yan Liben actually understood that this case was clear and clear, but Cui Zhiwen was the biggest suspect, and the arson case in Zhongwei Bridge was very likely to be the mastermind behind Liu, King and Cui, but the same thing is true. If there is no evidence, it would be very difficult to deal with.

"Huaiying, Your Majesty has issued an order to release the four men of Li, Wang, Liu and Cui immediately. Now that Dali Temple is so chaotic, they can't make any mistakes."

"Subordinate obey the order." Di Renjie was indignant. The powerful people were too arrogant. It was a human life. More than 100 lives on Zhongwei Bridge were gone, and thirteen more were killed in a blink of an eye. As far as he knew, hundreds of people set fire to Zhongwei Bridge that night. Now these thirteen people are dead, and probably those dozens may be gone.

He proposed to look for those dozens of people, whether they are alive or dead, as long as they can be found, it will be of great help to the case.

"You can go and look for it, but from my experience, I tell you that this matter is probably a headless case. Those people you can't find, and even this case is likely to end up in the end."

"How is this possible? This is more than a hundred lives, and the printing office's workshop has turned into white ground." Di Renjie said in surprise.

Yan Liben sighed, and he closed the case file and found nothing. Some things, which are complicated and simple, will eventually return to that point, which is the so-called trade-offs.

The Wang, Liu and Cui family are all deeply rooted. If there is no ironclad evidence, it will be difficult to investigate this case.

It is too deep, and with the ability of those three companies, it is actually not difficult to cover up a case. Now there are disaster victims everywhere in the capital, and hundreds of victims from other places have died, so it is really not easy to investigate.

"Where is the law of heaven? Where is the law of kings?" Di Renjie asked.

"These will eventually be decided by the officials in the court."

········

Dali Temple, Tianzhu.

After staying in a dungeon with sunny, damp, and especially silent all day, Li Xiao was quite chic.

This is not because he has amazing willpower. In fact, he can't stay in the prison for a minute. The sounds of snakes, rats, cockroaches and other sounds that are always there are so devastating.

After Li Xiao shouted several times and confirmed that no one would pay attention to him, he fled directly into his space.

The dungeon is simply hell, but the space is like heaven.

The gentle breeze, the fresh air, the green plants that catch your eyes, the lively and clear spring water, and even Li Xiao saw a group of bees flying and picking flowers.

The corn sown before has grown by about one foot tall, black and green, with stretched leaves and just growing. Here are some other crops planted by Li Xiao, including wheat, rice, peppers, taro, and water chestnuts.

Each one grows very well.

Pick a green cucumber from the cucumber rack over there, and rub it with your hands, and the thorns will be wiped off. The fresh cucumbers that need to be dripped in water do not need to be peeled at all, and you can even wash them without washing them. They will just put them in your mouth and they will be crisp and refreshing and sweet.

While eating cucumbers, Li Xiao patrolled his territory.

After a while, the space seemed to have expanded a little more, and there were many shrubs and weeds outside. With anticipation, Li Xiao first searched carefully to see if there were any new crops among the shrubs and weeds.

After spending a long time, searching three times, Li Xiao still gained something in the end. He found a pumpkin and a few peanuts.

What he was looking forward to most were potatoes and sweet potatoes, but he didn't see any trace.

The pumpkin climbed all over the ground, with yellow flowers blooming among the big dark green leaves, and there were several tender pumpkins that had grown to the thickness of their arms between them.

Several bees were picking flowers and pollinating among pumpkin flowers. Looking at the flowers, Li Xiao couldn't help but think of the deliciousness of stir-fried pumpkin flowers. If you add some eggs, it will be even more fragrant.

What a good thing. If it’s a fish head stew, put some freshly picked pumpkin flowers in it, it’s so sweet.

Pumpkin is actually not bad. This original South American crop seems to be introduced to China in history during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Pumpkin tastes good, and each plant can bear many, each growing very large. There will be a hard shell outside the pumpkin elder, which can be stored for more than half a year and will not break.

The old pumpkin is relatively floury and it tastes good to stir-fry, especially the pumpkin soup bibimbap, which is a perfect match. Moreover, the pumpkin can also be made into cakes. After steaming the pumpkin, kneading it into the flour, and making it into pumpkin cakes or pumpkin steamed buns, which is also very delicious.

After squatting on the ground and pulling out all the weeds on the pumpkin vine, Li Xiao left a large piece of space for it. In fact, if the pumpkin can be made into a trench first, it will be more conducive to its growth.

"Red rice, pumpkin soup, yo, hey, hey!"

Li Xiao couldn't help singing a small song. Not far away, the peanuts were also growing very well, and small yellow flowers bloomed at the roots.

Although peanuts are not edible, peanuts are delicious.

Boiled peanuts, fried peanuts, fried peanuts, and even peanuts are excellent crops for frying oil. Peanut oil is actually very good, and the oil output is quite high.

In the future, if you have peanuts, you can make some garlic-flavored water boiled peanuts, or fry some peanuts in the oil, and add wine. Even peanuts can be used to make many dishes, such as adding some fried peanuts to some cold dishes to add aroma, and peanuts can also be used to make many delicious dishes.

Chili, corn, pumpkin, peanuts, this magical space has brought him four crops that were not existing in the Tang Dynasty in this era.

Let's look at his vegetable fields.

There are now five vegetables that have existed since the pre-Qin period, including sunflower, aquamarine, scallion, onion, leek, and many foreign vegetables from the Han Dynasty.

In the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, there are five grains for nourishing and five vegetables for filling. In ancient times, there were actually quite a few vegetables. Many of the vegetables eaten at that time became wild vegetables in later generations, and there were few vegetables that were left behind.

In ancient times, sunflower vegetables were known as the king of all kinds of vegetables. Even if they are grown in large quantities now, they are the main vegetable on the table. However, Li Xiao didn’t like sunflower vegetables very much and the taste was not very good.

As for Huo, it is actually tender bean seedlings. The ancients also discovered that tender bean seedlings can be eaten, but Li Xiao still prefers to eat tender edamame. The tender bean seedlings are actually not delicious. If they are pea seedlings or tender pea pods, it is OK. However, there are no peas in the Tang Dynasty. The origin of this thing is in the Mediterranean, and it has not been passed down yet.

Shrimp is a buckwheat head. The chili buckwheat head tastes very good, sour, spicy and spicy. This thing is actually a bit similar to onion, but the roots are a bit like garlic. Buckwheat heads remain until later generations. This is a classic dish like onion and leek.

In addition to these, the more famous local dish is 白, which is cabbage.

In addition, local vegetables include winter melon, wild rice, yam, gourd, loofah, lotus root, as well as some mushrooms and wild vegetables.

The rest are basically wild vegetables that grow in the fields.

In addition to these, there are many vegetables that were introduced to China in Li Xiao’s vegetable field.

For example, the courgettes (cucumbers) introduced after the Western Han Dynasty passed down from the Western Regions, as well as garlic native to Central Asia, beans (broad beans), flax (sesame), coriander (cilantro), turnips (kowel), eggplant (eggplant), lentils, lettuce, knife beans, radish, bougain, cold melon (watermelon), and celery.

In this mysterious space, it seems that all seasons are like spring. Any vegetables can be grown and grown without being restricted by seasons.
