"Then, how are we going to treat Yan Zheng's family?" Wang Juan pushed the cup with one-fifth of the coffee to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the cup and waved for the train attendant to add more water. The attendant was not far away. It was not that she was willing to stay in the same place, but she did not dare to let herself out of the sight of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Their identities were too prominent.
The cup was filled to eighty percent full. The attendant did not say anything more and returned with a smile.
"Look, our Tang Dynasty is still better. At least the cup is not filled to the brim. It is more convenient for people to hold it up to drink. Unlike our time, when we ordered a cup of draft beer, the cup was filled to the brim. The standard was also high and there was no foam at all. I had to bend over to drink it."
Zhang Xiaobao praised and took out the coffee bottle from Wang Juan's bag. He poured the coffee into the cup and threw in four pieces of sugar.
Wang Juan stared at Zhang Xiaobao for a full five seconds. "It's better for you to drink sugar water. My cup is a coffee cup, not a tea pot. Luckily, someone added eighty percent of the water. If it was ninety percent, you wouldn't even be able to throw in the sugar.
You are talking about before you went abroad, right? When you were eating snacks at the roadside stalls, people would want to give you fifty to sixty percent beer and forty percent foam. But can you drink that kind of foam? Are you willing to spend the price of a cup to buy half a cup of wine? No one is like you. That's called being practical, okay? "
"Ah." Zhang Xiaobao seemed to have understood something and said, "When there are more types of coffee in the future, there will be no need to extract caffeine from tea leaves. Extracting caffeine from tea leaves is a stupid thing to do."
"Extracting caffeine from coffee is not smart either. Caffeine can be synthesized, you know? Don't change the topic, I'm asking you about Yan Zheng's family. "Wang Juan sometimes felt helpless when it came to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't care that it was hot and took a sip of the coffee. He smacked his lips twice and said, "There's really too much sugar. It's like the coffee candy I ate when I was young. It's a pity that it lacks the taste of milk. I'll make some for Xiaobei and the rest later. Actually, I learned how to use your unfinished coffee when I was working as a waiter in a coffee shop. They were too immoral, so I quit after two days."
"Yes, Xiao Bao. I know you have a lot of life experience and know that there are unscrupulous businessmen. I agree to make coffee candies for Xiao Bei and the rest. Yan Zheng's family is in Japan now. What do you plan to do?"
Wang Juan didn't have the slightest intention to give up on this question and continued to ask.
Zhang Xiaobao lowered his head in silence. After a while, he raised his head and said, "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Yan Zheng deserved to die even if his entire family was executed. From my point of view, unless his family was directly involved in this matter, he shouldn't be killed.
Yan Zheng's family used to be very poor. He had a father and a mother. The year he passed the Jinshi examination, his father was bedridden. In fact, he was paralyzed. He was very filial. After that, he married a wife and had two concubines. He had two sons and four daughters. The youngest daughter is called Miaomiao. She's three years and four months old this year.
Look, there's a sketch drawn by someone after our intelligence personnel dictated it and then colored it. She's a very cute little girl. She likes to eat the jelly from the candy house named by our Xiaobei. She likes to wear the princess dress that Xiaobei used to wear.
The person she wants to see the most is Chang 'e on the moon. The thing she's most afraid of is meeting the Queen Mother of the West. Her biggest wish is that every child in the world can have an endless amount of jelly. What she wants to do the most is to invite homeless children to her home in winter and treat them to hot pot. "
Zhang Xiaobao said in a flat tone. He even pulled out a page from the intelligence report. On it was a colored sketch.
After that, he didn't wait for Wang Juan to ask and continued, "So, what I mean is that Japan should send them back and hand them over to the Tang Dynasty for trial. I'm not talking about the Japanese's conditions. I'm talking about the Tang Dynasty. Who asked them to take in the family of the guilty official?
They have to pay the price and promise that they won't dare to take in people from the Tang Dynasty again. They have to bear the consequences of the Tang Dynasty's material and mental damage caused by this matter. We still have the right to investigate further. "
"And then?" Wang Juan looked at the cute little girl in the sketch and asked.
"Then, I propose a punishment. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Drown all of Yan Zheng's family members to comfort the people who died in the flood in Hongnong County. The amount of money that Japan compensates must be more than the loss of the people of Hongnong County.
The rest of the money will be formed into an open fund that accepts donations from all walks of life. It will be used to hunt down the escaped officials of the Tang Dynasty and their family members. For example … "
"For example, before you caused me to go to the Tang Dynasty with you, you said the same thing as the person with the hair-release detonator, right? It's very scary. One hundred million US dollars in bonuses. Even such a vicious person was frightened by you. When you swapped the children, you became a hero, right? Many people will remember you. Can you really bear to drown Miaomiao? "
Before Zhang Xiaobao finished his words, Wang Juan continued. When she asked about drowning Miaomiao, her expression was very complicated.
Zhang Xiaobao knocked his head with his fist and said, "I reckon that when the media reports about me independently, freely, and truthfully, they will say that I am in cahoots with that person, and that you are the hero, the bloodstained genius overlord flower. Therefore, the death of Miaomiao and the others can be done to the same extent as the media."
Wang Juan smiled. "You are really soft-hearted. When it comes to children, you can't bear to do it. How are you going to do it?"
"Bring them back and drown them in water for a quarter of an hour. Then take them out and give them to the medical school for research. From then on, there will be no Yan Zheng's family and no Miaomiao in the world. Drown them in front of Yan Zheng. Yang Kang's son Yang Guo is not as bad as Yang Kang. He is a national hero in the novel, although he hinders the integration of the nation. "
Zhang Xiaobao's mood was much better. It took him a lot of effort to come up with this idea.
Wang Juan also nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, tell me about how you slandered me."
"I'm not slandering you. You are indeed a hero. At least you still followed us when you knew that we were facing a dangerous situation. Do you think the coffee milk candy should be wrapped in candy wrappers or made into lollipops?"
Zhang Xiaobao pointed at the coffee cup and said.
Wang Juan fell into deep thought for a moment. She tapped the table and asked, "If you use candy paper, do you need to put glutinous rice paper in the middle? Our technology is not good enough. The milk is too pure. We lack edible stabilizers and hardeners. "
"Then make a lollipop. Roll it with glutinous rice flour and make it bigger. 20 centimeters in diameter. One piece of candy is enough for ten children to lick for a day." Zhang Xiaobao gestured with his hands.
"I'm afraid it's too heavy. The children can't hold it …" Wang Juan immediately thought.
In this way, the two people began to discuss about the candy.
*****
When the sound of brakes resounded in the station, the food that followed the nine children had been transported to the county by the people in the city.
Zhang Xiaobei's team was about to arrive at the county. Following her were the children from the school.
Some people kept reporting the news.
To Zhang Xiaobei's surprise, none of the people in the county who were related to Yan Zheng escaped. Those who were invited by Yan Zheng to gamble on the right to buy goods were stopped by the people at the gate of the city. After a struggle, they were beaten down and tied up.
The government runners with the homemade firearms didn't resist at all. They handed over their weapons and let the waiter of the opposite inn take care of them in a courtyard.
If someone else had come instead of Zhang Xiaobei, the bailiffs might have had other thoughts. But when they heard that Zhang Xiaobei had come, they felt a sense of helplessness. They didn't think that they could escape the country, especially when they had their families with them.
Li Bai, who had not recovered from his illness, met Wang Wei first. After sighing with emotion, they separated to organize people to do statistics and arrange things in the county.
"Ma San, Ma San, find twenty people to help fill up the potholes in the front street. The water can't go out." Li Bai, who was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, issued a new task to Ma San, who had just finished arranging other things. His voice passed through the rain and fog.
"Hey! I'm coming. Twenty young men, follow me. " Ma San seemed to have endless energy. He wiped the rain on his face and shouted with all his strength to command the team to run to the front street.
Li Bai looked at another person who was helping to distribute food to the people who hadn't had a good meal for many days. He waved and shouted, "You, the one in black pants, come here. Which restaurant are you from?"
"My Lord, I came in from West Gate. There's a dog meat restaurant 200 steps south. They call me Gou Za 'er." The person who was called ran over and replied with a smile.
"That's good. Do you know the small river beside West Gate? Just now, someone said that the water is too big. Go find a sack and fill it with soil. You must block the water back. "Li Bai was relieved when he heard that the other person was working at West Gate.
Gou Za 'er was stunned and shouted anxiously, "My Lord, there are no more sacks."
"Take out the sacks of food. If there's not enough, go to the cloth shop. Even if you have to wrap the soil in cloth, you have to block it." Li Bai shouted as he reached out to support a little girl who ran over with a bowl in her hand.
Gou Za 'er obeyed the order. The little girl tiptoed and raised the bowl to Li Bai's mouth. "Mother said that my Lord is sick, so she made ginger sugar water for my Lord to drive away the cold."
Li Bai paused and took the bowl. He didn't care if there was a lot of rain in it. He raised his head and drank it all. Then he gave the bowl back and said, "I'll also give you a task. Do you have the confidence to complete it?"
"Yes!" The little girl shouted excitedly. She looked at Li Bai with her big eyes and waited for the task to come.
"Do you see those children? Don't let them run around. Take them to the room to study. We have to fight against the heavens and learn at the same time. We have to learn tenaciously and fight resolutely. We have to bravely advance toward victory. "Li Bai used the things he learned from Zhang Xiaobei in Jian 'an County.
Waiting for the little girl to run to gather the other children, Li Bai sighed to himself. He was now beginning to feel grateful to Zhang Xiaobei. The reason why he could do what he did today was largely because he had been influenced by the noisy Zhang Xiaobei. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have organized people.
Regardless of whether the arrangements were effective or not, the most important thing was to mobilize people. They wouldn't panic for nothing. The most important thing was to form a cohesive force. Zhang Xiaobei had done this in the past. She had acted like a leader to give the confused people confidence. Then things would be easier.
Wang Wei was much better than Li Bai. He had done things in the local government. Later, when he was in the Ministry of Works, because of Zhang Zhong, he was busy all day. He was used to a fast-paced life. Now, he could use it.
From time to time, people would report news to him and Li Bai. Then, he would arrange for people to deal with it. When he wanted to support the yamen's affairs and temporarily couldn't find people, he felt the strength of Zhang Xiaobei and Wang family.
He needed people to record, read the accounts, and help to summarize the information and cooperate with his dispatch. Because of the lack of manpower, the twenty people in the Sapling Protection Team who were responsible for protecting him naturally took over the copywriting work.
When the temporary captain of the twenty people, Zhang Tong and Zhang Chuxu, helped to draw the curve chart, they said, "We, the people in the Sapling Protection Team, are indeed strong. We are really stupid, but we are not stupid. Our stupidity means that it will take a lot of effort to take the imperial examination, but you can't say that we are uneducated. Our words may not be beautiful, but we can write neatly."
Wang Wei was also speechless when he encountered this kind of thing.
"Account, the account of the medicine that can be transferred. Make a part of it for me first and send it to the sick people as soon as possible. The doctors have to take care of it."
Wang Wei had just received a message that the sick people were gradually gathering and needed doctors and medicine. He quickly asked about the account of the medicine.
The people in the Sapling Protection Team were counting the medicine according to the category. When they heard Wang Wei's voice, they took out the commonly used medicine and sent it to Wang Wei. They said embarrassedly, "We can't do this kind of work. It's too slow. It'll be fine if we wait for our Young Master Xiaohai to come. He alone can take care of ten of us."
Wang Wei looked at the inventory of fifty-two kinds of medicine and the classification of the corresponding diseases that had been done in half an hour. When he heard the apologetic words of the accountant, he only felt that his people in the Ministry of Works must be slacking off.
"Found it, found it." At this time, a person ran from the backyard and shouted happily, "Found it. That damn guy Yan Zheng actually hid the account book. This is the account book of him embezzling the wealth of the people of Hong Nong. It's clearly written where to send it, whether to sell it or mortgage it."
Wang Wei just glanced at it and didn't look at it in detail. He said, "Send it to Lord Zhang and the others and let them decide."
The so-called Lord Zhang was naturally Zhang Xiaobei. Although he was young, he had a good brother and sister. He could easily meet the Emperor and get a high official position.
