Lu Dashan arrogantly said: "It's just a few bear paws, how can it stump me, Lu Dashan? And I tell you, bear paws are one of the eight treasures of the palace. Not only is it a great supplement, but it's also difficult to make. Even those imperial chefs, not everyone can do it. I also met a descendant of an imperial chef by chance, and got the recipe from him, so I have this ability. Otherwise, you can go to Mingzhu and ask around, those who can make bear paws taste good, can be counted on one hand. "
"Then I have to try it." Xiao Zheng took a bite, chewed a few times in his mouth, squinted and said: "The taste is soft and glutinous, and the fat is more abundant. Although it's better than fat pork. But it's not enough to be blown into the eight treasures of the palace, right? I didn't eat anything too wonderful. "
"This you don't understand." Lu Dashan drank a mouthful of Maotai and said slowly. "The more rare the treasure, the more ordinary the taste. There are very few that can reach the taste of bear paws better than ordinary materials. If you don't believe me, you can go back and try authentic thousand-year-old ginseng, top-grade abalone, and so on, the taste is even more ordinary. "
Xiao Zheng tasted two more mouthfuls and muttered: "I'll eat it like a glutinous rice ball."
"Country bumpkin." Lu Dashan complained. "Really have eyes but can't see."
Xiao Zheng took a sip of Maotai, grinned and said: "Compared with you, I'm just shallow in knowledge and uncultured."
Xiao Zheng was out of character. Not only did he not talk back, he even flattered Lu Dashan, which made Lu Dashan very happy.
Qin Shuang was also very tactful and did not go to the table. Holding a bowl of noodles in clear soup, she casually solved the dinner with the braised food that Xiao Zheng brought. Then she went upstairs to rest.
Today, she entertained a lot of guests all day, and Qin Shuang really did not want to listen to those profound and obscure battles of wits and courage. Tired of it.
As soon as Qin Shuang left, Xiao Zheng also opened the chatterbox and asked: "Uncle Lu. Did you hear a lot of rumors today? "
"What rumors?" Lu Dashan pretended to be crazy.
"Stop pretending. How could such a big thing be hidden from you? "Xiao Zheng went straight to the point. "Yan Shang was assassinated. A storm was brewing in Yan Jin. It's a big mess. "
"What does that have to do with me? I can live my comfortable life in the Pearl Palace. Why bother with other people's business? "Lu Dashan said slowly. "Besides, which day in Yan Jing isn't chaotic?"
Xiao Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle Lu, although you live in seclusion behind the scenes, you should at least know something about the general situation, right?"
"Not interested." Lu Dashan ate a mouthful of food and took a sip of wine, his face full of enjoyment.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Are you still angry about yesterday? That can't be. Who are we to each other? Your Uncle Lu is tolerant of all rivers, and the Prime Minister's stomach can support a boat. Do you really have to be calculative with a junior like me? "
"You think too much." Lu Dashan curled his lips. "What do I have to be angry with you? Besides, you have Ye Yuhua behind you, and you have a father-in-law who can cover the sky with one hand. Do you think I have the right to worry for you? "
"Look. My mouth is full of jealousy. You've gone too far. "Xiao Zheng smiled. "I've already brought fish and meat to your door to ask for forgiveness. If you continue like this, you'll be unreasonable. "
"Hmph, you brat, you're full of knives. You're stabbing me in the heart. "Lu Dashan rolled his eyes. "In the old days, if you could enter the palace, you'd be another Wei Zhongxian who brought disaster to the country and the people."
Xiao Zheng laughed out loud. He handed a cigarette to Lu Dashan and lit it up himself. Then, he said calmly, "Uncle Lu, I'm sorry. What do you think about this? "
"What do I think? Stay in the Pearl Palace and don't go anywhere. Just do your best to earn your money and live your life, "Lu Dashan advised. "Don't wander around if you have nothing to do. I don't want to be caught by others. "
"That's for sure." Xiao Zheng took a sip of Maotai and nodded. "I'm not worried about myself."
"Then what are you worried about?" Lu Dashan raised an eyebrow.
"I just can't figure it out. This matter is directed at me. This is directed at me, or at Yan Shang himself. "Xiao Zheng asked.
"Is there a difference? It doesn't matter who it's directed at. You'll be easily implicated. "Lu Dashan said. "Of course, you've already offended the Yan Family. It's not an injustice. "
"Shang Jingtian didn't do anything to me. What can those mistresses do to me? "Xiao Zheng said tentatively.
"Yes, compared to Shang Jingtian, Yan Hong and Yan Jiazhu are indeed not that powerful. But don't forget, they didn't get to where they are today because of Shang Jingtian. It was Yan Shichang. He's from the same generation as Lord Ye. He looks like he's retired, but he's actually still at the helm. "Lu Dashan said calmly.
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "That's why I need Uncle Lu's advice. What's the situation in Beijing. Who's the mastermind behind this? You chatted with me yesterday. Did you guess that something happened to Yan Shang Association? "
"Forget it." Lu Dashan glared at him. "Do you think I'm a fortune teller? Can I predict the future? "
"Then can you guess who's behind this?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Of course. I wasn't there. How could I guess? But there are only a few people who have the motive to do it. Even if I don't get it right, it won't be too far off, "Lu Dashan said slowly. "But for now, Shang Jingtian is the biggest suspect. He's also the murderer that everyone is willing to believe. "
"He's Yan Shang's uncle." Xiao Zheng sighed. "How could he do it?"
Lu Dashan looked up at Xiao Zheng and said, "For the sake of profit, even brothers will kill each other. What's so strange about that? "
"Then isn't he afraid of the Yan Family's wrath? Betrayal? "Xiao Zheng asked.
"He left the Yan Family a long time ago. What's there to be afraid of? "Lu Dashan said nonchalantly.
Xiao Zheng nodded and pursed his lips. "So, even you suspect Shang Jingtian is behind this?"
"I didn't say that." Lu Dashan shook his head. "It's just that he's the biggest suspect. After all, Fox Hunting isn't a good thing. Whoever gets involved will be unlucky. Yan Shang's recklessness exposed him. As the representative of Hua Xia, of course he has to clean up and hide himself. "
"You know that Shang Jingtian is the representative of Hua Xia?!" Xiao Zheng asked in shock. His eyeballs were about to pop out.
After investigating the Long Formation for so long, he still had to find clues himself. However, Lu Dashan just blatantly claimed that Shang Jingtian was the representative of Hua Xia. This really shocked Xiao Zheng and made him feel a little awkward.
"Other than you and that little girl from the Long Formation, the whole world knows that he's the representative of Hua Xia." Lu Dashan rolled his eyes. "Brat, still trying to play tricks in front of me? When your Uncle Lu came out to roam the world, you were still playing in the orphanage. "
"So, General Qi also knows?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Yes." Lu Dashan nodded without hesitation.
"Then why did he ask Jiang Qing to investigate?" Xiao Zheng frowned. "The Long Formation has been investigating so hard, yet there's no clue. As the commander-in-chief, why didn't he reveal such important information to his subordinates?"
