A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family

Chapter 848 Murderous Intent

Tang Tongpan's hometown is in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Many people there have no choice but to survive. It is impossible to eat every meal.

He was really excited when he saw these two kinds of food, and begged the ancient magistrate: "Sir, please report to the capital as soon as possible so that the people of Chu can go into the mountains to find these two things to make food to satisfy their hunger, so as not to suffer from hunger."

The ancient prefect nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I will definitely report such good things to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to issue notices to all states, counties and towns, and go into the mountains to look for them for food."

Master Li felt very uncomfortable when he saw them talking enthusiastically. He picked up his chopsticks and ate two flavors of turtle dove leaf tofu, and his eyes lit up...it tasted really good.

But why was it Gu Jinan who came up with this thing and not Gu Chengxian?

It would be great if Chengxian came up with this thing!

"Sir, Doctor Xiao and Doctor Liu are here." Zhang Bantou from the government office personally brought Doctor Xiao and Doctor Liu over.

Doctor Liu couldn't help but groan when he saw Doctor Xiao, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Doctor Xiao glanced at him and asked, "You have turned into a pig, why do you keep humming?"

If someone from the government office hadn't come to invite him, would he have gone to the clinic with him?

Doctor Liu was choked by the rebuke and couldn't find the words to refute, so he could only sulk himself, scolding Doctor Xiao's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.

The two medicine boys also stared at each other without showing any signs of weakness.

Seeing them coming, the ancient prefect looked at Mr. Li and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, let's ask two famous doctors from the city to test these two foods to see if they are poisonous."

Mr. Li's face turned red when he was told that, but he had been saying that konjac tofu and turtledove leaf tofu were poisonous before, and now that he was being criticized, he could only grit his teeth and endure it when he was criticized back.

Magistrate Zheng felt comfortable when he saw Mr. Li was eating badly, and said to Dr. Liu and Dr. Xiao: "Doctors, we have made two kinds of fresh food. Please test them to see if they are harmful toxins?"

After hearing this, Dr. Liu and Dr. Xiao took the drug boy with them to start testing the drug.

Drug testing was a long process, and by the time they finished it, it was already dark.

Doctor Liu was the first to say, "It's edible, it's not poisonous."

Then he pointed to the turtle dove leaves placed in the basket and said: "Not only are they not poisonous, these turtle dove leaves are also used as medicinal materials. Eating them has the effect of strengthening the body."

The konjac is so ugly that no one has dared to eat it since ancient times. However, after being made into konjac tofu, it is indeed not poisonous and can be eaten.

Master Li became anxious after hearing this and asked: "Have you checked clearly? Is it really edible?"

Doctor Liu gave Master Li a look in his heart, and he couldn't trust me. Then why did you spend a lot of money to treat me to cure the Liuli disease in the old Gu family?

Doctor Liu ignored Master Li. Doctor Xiao was afraid that he would offend others, so he nodded and said: "I have tested that it is indeed non-toxic, but the konjac cannot be eaten raw, it must be cooked, otherwise the pulp will make people's hands and feet itchy."

This is not considered poisonous, because the pulp of some commonly eaten melons can also make people's hands and feet itchy.

Mr. Li asked urgently: "Is this really the case?"

Doctor Xiao said: "Well, that's true. Both of these things are edible."

After hearing this, Mr. Li felt as if he had been drained of vitality. He felt tired for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said to the ancient prefect: "I congratulate you, sir. I am very happy to have two crops to save the people."

The ancient magistrate laughed and said: "These two things come from our He'an Mansion, and all of us present have the credit."

Then he looked at Magistrate Zheng: "Master Zheng, I am very pleased that Tianfu County has produced such a proud man, and I can't wait to see his masterpieces."

Master Li's face turned pale when he heard this. The ancient prefect had taken a fancy to Gu Jinan and wanted to ensure that his imperial examination went smoothly.

That's right. Candidates who can write this kind of policy theory may win the first place in the college examination, let alone the government examination.

And if Gu Jinan can win the case in the court examination, the ancient prefect, as the chief official of the city where Gu Jinan is located, can make meritorious deeds, so he must protect him well.

Mr. Li was very sad. Why did Gu Jinan win the county case, but Cheng Xian missed the scientific examination?

Magistrate Zheng simply ignored Mr. Li's pale face and said to the ancient magistrate: "The magistrate is the lord of the government and the father-in-law of Gu Jin'an. If he can become a talented person, you will also have merit."

He pointed at the turtle dove leaf tofu and konjac tofu and said, "Without the prefect, no matter how capable Gu Jinan was, he would not be able to present these two items to the court."

The ancient prefect felt very comfortable after hearing this, and the smile on his face never broke. He was already thinking about how he would make a meritorious service and be transferred to the capital as a capital official, or be transferred to Jinling as a prefect.

Dr. Xiao knew about Gu Jinan. When he heard this, he knew that the boy had become successful and he was very happy for Gu Jinan.

but……

He looked at the turtledove leaf tofu and konjac tofu. The person who made these two things was probably not Gu Jinan, but that girl Xiaoyu.

But Xiaoyu was from a girl's family, and it was not good for her to have such a great reputation, so he didn't say this out loud.

The ancient prefect also looked at turtle dove leaf tofu and konjac tofu and said, "The names of these two foods are not very nice. Why don't we change them."

Tang Tongpan agreed very much: "My lord, you are right. This name must be changed. It means Amorphophallus konjac. The magic word sounds unlucky, so it cannot be used."

The ancient magistrate nodded. Such evil words should not be used in the things presented to the capital. He thought for a while and said: "This konjac is very big, so why not call it big potato, and konjac tofu is called potato tofu. Turtle Dove The leaf tofu is green in color, so it’s called jade tofu.”

The name of the fairy tofu is too big. After it was submitted to the capital, I was afraid that the adults in the capital would say it was arrogant, so it was better to use jade tofu.

After speaking, he looked at Magistrate Zheng: "What do you think, Mr. Zheng?"

Magistrate Zheng smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are worthy of being born second in the rankings, and your name is excellent."

The new names of konjac tofu and turtle dove tofu have been decided.

Mr. Li was so confused that he didn't know how he got back to his house. As soon as he returned to his house, he collapsed in the Grand Master's chair.

Gu Jinan, the grandson of that good-for-nothing Gu Laoliu, was so promising.

How could Gu Laoliu have such a promising grandson? !

Mr. Li was not only angry, but also had murderous intentions. He wished that Gu Jinan would disappear from this world and let Gu Laoliu continue to be a waste and never get ahead.

Unfortunately, when he was in the government office, Magistrate Zheng probably saw that he didn't like Gu Jinan, so he told a story.

The young man in that story was also jealous of others because of his talent and reputation, and was assassinated.

After hearing the story, the ancient prefect smashed the bowl of jade tofu and said angrily: "Whoever dares to murder a talented person under my jurisdiction will definitely make him pay with his life!"

He was not a fool. After hearing what Magistrate Zheng and Magistrate Gu said, he knew that no matter how much he wanted to kill Gu Jinan, he could not do it at this time.

He had to wait until the ancient magistrate and the others had used Gu Jinan to make great achievements before they could kill Gu Jinan.
