The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

The guards guarding the palace by the palace gate saw this scene and snickered.

"That Yan King's guards are really ridiculous

!" "That's called self-righteousness!"

Lu Xing was helped up by the guard Ge San, his heart was originally full of anger, and when he heard the words of these guards, he pulled out his saber with a snort.

"Then guard, what are you going to do? Royal Land, what do you want?"

The soldiers guarding the palace gate pressed their hands on the handle of their waist knives, and stared at the guard Lu Xing angrily.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, he didn't mean to!" Ge San comforted the guards in front of the palace gate as he snatched the knife from Lu Xing's hand and inserted it back into the scabbard.

The guards guarding the palace gate taught Lu Xing and Ge San another lesson, telling them to stay away from the palace gate.

The guards of the Yanwang Mansion who were implicated by Lu Xing complained in a low voice, but no one dared to reprimand Lu Xing loudly, everyone knew that Lu Xing had an elder brother who commanded the envoy, and he should not be offended.

Lu Xing pulled Ge San to the side, looked in the direction Zheng Hai left, and said in a low voice, "Ge San, you do me a favor." I'm going to kill Zheng Hai!" "

Brother Lu, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that I still don't know where my uncle is in Yingtianfu, otherwise I can ask him for help. "

Your uncle?" Lu Xing was a little puzzled, "You still have an uncle in Yingtianfu?" "You

also know that it is the matter of the official who was forced to resign because of the trial of Zheng Hai's murder in Beiping, my uncle's name is Ge Xin, don't you remember?"

Ge San said this, Lu Xing naturally remembered.

According to the prosecutor Ge Xin's trial of the Taiye Pool floating corpse case, Zheng Hai was originally sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, but Zheng Hai was not only not beheaded, but was rewarded with 20 taels of silver and acquitted.

Ge Xingang is upright, and he theorizes with Guo Zi, the political envoy, and Chen Ying, the envoy. As a result, the two provincial leaders rejected him and told him to leave the matter alone. Ge Xin resigned angrily and went to Yingtianfu to join his friend Fang Xiaoru.

Fang Xiaoru did not mix well in Yingtianfu and was not reused by Zhu Yuanzhang. Fang Xiaoru strongly recommended Ge Xin to the officials, but he did not help Ge Xin get an official position.

However, Ge Xin meets a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and obtains a secret identity and official position.

Ge San came to find his uncle Ge Xin this time, but he didn't know Ge Xin's specific residence and official position. Ge San didn't know that his uncle Ge Xin's identity was very special now, and Ge Xin's secret identity was rarely known.

"Uncle Ge has a grudge against Zheng Hai, it's really good to look for him, but now we don't know where he is, it's a pity!" Lu Xing shook his head and sighed.

Lu Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted his thigh

: "Yes!" "I heard that Ma Gonggong and Ying Guogong have a grudge, so Zheng Hai and Ying Guogong have a three-year appointment!" Lu Xing's face smiled, and he leaned into Ge San's ear and whispered: "You are like this, you go find someone..."

Xu Miaojin pulled the fair-skinned boy and took Zheng Hai all the way to the bustling city streets.

In the past few days, the taverns and tea shops in Yingtianfu City have resumed commercial operations, and the government has revoked the decree to stop drinking and entertainment due to the prince's funeral.

Shops along the street have reopened, and vendors of all kinds are shouting and selling all kinds of food and goods from north to south.

"Brother Yun, you have to mourn. Look at you, you've been so haggard lately that you don't have any blood, this can't work!"

Xu Miaojin pulled the young man to a restaurant, pointed to the huge plaque in front of the door and said: "Drunken Immortal Building, a drunk relieves a thousand sorrows." The

young man shook his head vigorously, and at the same time pulled Xu Miaojin: "No! I can't drink, this is disrespectful to my father

!" "Okay, we don't drink, let's eat duck!" Xu

Miaojin turned around, diagonally opposite is a well-decorated food shop, which is a restaurant specializing in making duck dishes, and the wooden plaque on the door reads "Bai's Yipin Duck".

Xu Miaojin looked at Zheng Hai, who was seriously looking at this unique restaurant specializing in duck dishes.

"Zheng Hai, how is it? I haven't seen such a restaurant in Beiping!" Xu

Miaojin looked proud and introduced to Zheng Hai: "This day, his subordinate Ying Tianfu loves to eat ducks the most, and he is also the best at eating ducks. The best duck is in Yingtianfu, and the best duck in Yingtianfu is this one!"

Zheng Hai looked at the little girl Xu Miaojin with a proud look on her face, and asked casually: "Is this look as delicious as Peking duck?"

"Beijing?" Xu Miaojin looked puzzled.

Zheng Hai knew that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly explained: "I mean Beiping, Beiping roast duck." "

At this time, there was no Beijing, and after Ming Chengzu ascended the throne, there was a saying that Beijing and Nanjing were moved to Beiping.

"Hahaha! There is no roast duck in Beiping, I have walked around the whole city in Beiping, and I have not found a restaurant that specializes in making duck dishes. On the contrary, we can see specially made duck dishes everywhere in Yingtianfu!"

Xu Miaojin laughed, looking disgusted with Zheng Hai: "You really don't know anything! This Bai's first-grade duck can almost be as delicious as the duck made by the imperial chef in the palace, and it can be called 'first-class'." I'll take you to see the duck dishes of Ying Tianfu, and I'm sure you'll be full of praise! Let's go!"

As he was talking, Xu Miaojin had already led the young man to the second floor of Bai's Yipin Duck. Zheng Hai followed Xu Miaojin into an independent private room.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Miaojin shouted at the shopkeeper, "Guy, how many of your store's signature dishes are there." The

shopkeeper was dressed in a coarse cloth, with a strip of cloth on his shoulders to wipe the table, holding a tea tray in his hand, and glanced at the young Xu Miaojin, and then looked at the fair-skinned young man and the guard Zheng Hai.

"Do you think we can't afford to eat?" Xu Miaojin guessed the suspicion of the shopkeeper from Xiao Er's rolling eyes.

The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed down, bowed his head and apologized: "This little master, how dare I, it's just that there are too many signature dishes in this store! Otherwise, you look at the dishes on the wall, say a few things, okay, the small one is called the kitchen ready..."

Xu Miaojin looked at Zheng Hai: "Zheng Hai, look at the wall, what do you want to eat?"

The fair-skinned young man sat down to drink tea as soon as he entered the private room, and ignored Xu Miaojin and Zheng Hai, he didn't seem to be interested in the dishes here.

Zheng Hai looked at the wooden square pieces of wood hanging on the wall, on which were written the names of the dishes and a brief introduction: osmanthus duck (salted duck), salted duck, crystal duck, sauce duck, roasted duck...

The wooden chips in the row are all named after duck dishes, and it is a collection of dishes for eating duck.

"Guest officer, you have been watching for so long, why don't you tell Xiao Er a thing or two!" Seeing that Zheng Hai was only looking at the name of the dish, the shopkeeper who was waiting on the side hurriedly reminded.

Zheng Hai looked at the names of these dishes, he didn't know what they were, he hadn't eaten them, so he asked: "In addition to duck, do you have any other dishes at home?"

"Hehehe, don't you eat a duck, you're so interesting!" Xiao Xu Miaojin was amused by Zheng Hai's words.

The young man in white who was drinking tea also smiled, obviously also being caught by Zheng Hailei.

The shopkeeper looked at Zheng Hai with a smile on his face, smiled with him, and replied: "Our store can also cook other dishes, but the above are the signature dishes of our store, which are the most worthy of your taste." Do you

want to order anything else?" Zheng Hai looked embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Then let's have a fire to roast the duck

!" "Okay!" The shopkeeper answered, and asked Zheng Hai again: "Guest officer, do you want to order anything else?"

"No, let them order!"

"Zheng Hai, you are so lonely and unheard! We should respond to the four treasures of Tianfu, and the folk songs all say like this-'Ancient Academy, glazed pagoda, dark satin, salted duck'." You should try the salted duck here, I decided to make you praise!" Xu

Miaojin explained while laughing at Zheng Hai.

The shopkeeper praised Xu Miaojin again and again, saying that she knew Yipin duck very well and was well-informed.

Xu Miaojin was happy, and said: "Give us another salted duck, a plate of anchovy shrimp, Yingtian Sancao, Yingtian Drought Eight Immortals..."
