"It smells so good!"
Sun Zhengheng, who was sitting on the wool blanket, smelled the aroma of barbecue and couldn't help but admire it.
He smiled and said to Wang Chen, "There are not many specialties in Hanhai Prefecture, but the taste of Tanyang sheep is outstanding. I have eaten at Great Ye once before, and I still remember it fresh!"
Gobi Tanyang sheep produced by Hanhai Prefecture has always been a tribute to the royal family.
Due to the long journey, the number of Tanyang sheep that were able to reach the imperial capital alive was very small, so they were naturally very precious.
And the Tanyang sheep you can eat here at Hanhai City is undoubtedly the most fresh and delicious.
A chef wielded a sharp scimitar and skillfully cut off two large chunks of sizzling, oily bone-in mutton. They were placed on a silver plate and delivered to Wang Chen and Sun Zhengheng by the fat businessman himself.
"You two adults, please use it."
The fat businessman knelt respectfully on the ground and held up the silver plate with both hands.
Sun Zhengheng laughed, "Grand Guardian Wang, please go first."
Wang Chen didn't give in. He reached out and grabbed a piece of plump mutton that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. He put it to his mouth and took a bite.
As Sun Zhengheng said, the taste of this barbecue Tanyang sheep is not ordinary. Not only does it not have any fishy smell, but the meat is plump and full of juice, which will burst your taste buds when you chew it!
The spices sprinkled on the skin of the lamb have a very special flavor that complements the lamb.
When people eat it, they want to swallow it all with their own tongues!
However, Wang Chen chewed twice, but instead of swallowing it, he suddenly changed his expression and smashed the mutton in his hand into the face of the fat businessman who was kneeling on the ground.
Snap!
The businessman with a flattering face was hit so hard that stars appeared in his eyes and he was completely stunned.
"How brave!"
Wang Chen shouted in a deep voice, "How dare you poison your flesh and murder Son of Heaven's Guard!"
His voice instantly spread throughout the palace hall, and all Imperial Forest Guard could hear it clearly!
Sun Zhengheng was furious when he heard this. He lifted the fat businessman up from the ground and slapped him twice hard with his bow left and right.
"Tell me! Who asked you to poison me?"
After the West Sea Great Grassland battle, the Imperial Forest Guard commander's trust in Wang Chen can be said to have reached its peak.
Therefore, he did not doubt Wang Chen's words at all, and the anger in his heart burst out from his eyes.
The fat businessman was slapped twice. Several of his teeth were knocked out, and blood oozed from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.
Fortunately, Sun Zhengheng didn't lose control when he was enraged, otherwise it would be easy to just smash the opponent's head.
"It's unfair, it's unfair!"
Under the severe pain, the fat businessman came to his senses and cried loudly, "Big, my lords are aware of this, and I don't dare to murder you lords even if I eat the heart of a bear or a leopard!"
His courage was nearly shattered.
This businessman is the boss of a chamber of commerce in Hanhai City. He usually does business with Great Yan. Therefore, when he learned that the wedding team was coming to the border county, he tried every means to open up connections with the county government and took over the job of rewarding the army.
He originally thought that he could build a relationship with Princess Qingyun through this, even if it was just a compliment. But in the future, when Princess Qingyun becomes Great Yan Crown Princess or even Empress, then he will definitely be able to benefit from it.
Unexpectedly, the feast carefully prepared for the evening turned out to be a big problem!
"How dare you quibble!"
Sun Zhengheng became even more angry and strangled the fat businessman's throat with his hands, preparing to make him feel worse than death.
"Wait."
Wang Chen waved his hand to stop Sun Zhengheng, and shouted, "Where is Imperial Physician?"
As soon as he finished speaking, three doctors who followed Heqin's team rushed over immediately.
At this moment, all the chefs, cooks and handymen were controlled by Imperial Forest Guard, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense.
Wang Chen pointed to the material can next to the grill in front and said, "Check the spices, I feel something is wrong."
His perception is so sharp, he noticed something wrong with the taste of the mutton just now in his mouth.
Although the smell of mutton and spices is extremely strong, it completely covers up the slightest trace of something strange inside. Ordinary people cannot tell the difference at all, but it cannot be hidden from the taste of Wang Chen!
A doctor immediately brought the jar over, took out a pinch of spices, and distributed it to the other two doctors.
These three accompanying doctors are all Imperial Physician from the palace. They have very superb medical skills and are naturally proficient in pharmacology.
They also took out various tools to test the spices, and discussed in whispers for a while. Then one of the doctors bowed his hand to Wang Chen and said, "Lord Wang, the lower official and two colleagues believe that this spice is most likely to be mixed with rosemary that is a century old!"
"Rosemary?"
Wang Chen raised his eyebrows.
Rosemary is a wild herb that has a mild hallucinogenic effect and can be used as a spice ingredient and added to food to increase flavor.
Ordinary rosemary is harmless to humans. Even if you eat a lot at one time, you will only experience some hallucinations.
It's almost like eating low-toxic bacteria.
But the medicinal power of rosemary, which has grown for more than a hundred years, is so strong that even the third and fourth level Martial Artist cannot withstand it!
It is considered an advanced drug.
It's just that century-old rosemary is very rare and cannot be purchased on the market. Three doctors can identify it, and their experience in medicinal materials and pharmacology is undoubtedly very strong.
Wang Chen turned to look at the fat businessman who had just been let go by Sun Zhengheng, and said lightly, "What else do you have to say?"
The businessman had collapsed on the ground. He immediately lay down and kowtowed desperately. "Sir, master, I don't know anything. I am really unjust..."
Life and death hung on a thread, so he knocked so hard that his forehead was torn open and bleeding.
But the fat businessman didn't notice it and continued to knock hard.
Wang Chen stared at it for a moment and suddenly said, "I believe you."
No matter how strong the other party's acting skills are, it is impossible to hide his perception and insight. Since his words come from the heart, he must be regarded as the scapegoat.
The fat businessman kowtowed several more times before he came to his senses, and immediately burst into tears and burst into tears.
He was so unjust!
Wang Chen frowned. "Take him down and lock everyone in the side hall. Anyone who dares to act rashly will be shot to death!"
The incident happened suddenly, and Wang Chen had no time to distinguish who was good and who was evil among the people brought by the fat businessman.
Merely imprisoning him was already his greatest mercy!
At Wang Chen's order, the wolf-like Imperial Forest Guards immediately rushed all these people to the side hall for custody.
Sun Zhengheng looked livid and asked, "Lord Wang, what should we do now?"
This matter is not trivial. If some invisible rats are causing trouble, then the situation is not bad.
But if it involves the Hanhai Prefecture government, or even Hanhai Army stationed at the pass...
But something was wrong.
You must know that Hanhai Army is the elite of the Border Army, with as many as 50,000 people! ——
