The prefect was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I would like to invite Lord Gu."

Jiang Wushi, who was lowering his head, looked up at Jiang Jiujin. Jiang Jiujin glared at her, and Jiang Wushi lowered her head again.

Gu Tingqi walked in. He was wearing a blue official uniform and looked even taller and taller. He followed six witnesses, including men and women, old and young.

When Jiang Jiujin saw these witnesses, his expression did not change and his pupils shrank slightly.

Jiang Wu's head lowered. Five of the six witnesses were her neighbors. Although it was already dark when Gui Ji came, she could not be sure whether these five people had seen Gui Ji.

"I have met an adult, and I have a humble position and fulfilled my mission." Gu Ting clasped his fists and said, "He is an official and there is no need to kneel down."

"Mr. Gu, thank you for your hard work." The prefect said politely.

"Where is the responsibility," Gu Ting said in a straightforward manner.

"Mr. Gu, who are these six?" asked the prefect.

"To my words, these five are Jiang Jiujin's neighbors and this is the pharmacy shop's friend." Gu Tingxian replied.

Pharmacy guy?

Jiang Wushi glanced at Jiang Jiujin again quickly, and Jiang Jiujin's hand clenched his fists.

Five neighbors confirmed that Jiang Jiujin and Gui Ji were not strangers they met outside the restaurant. Gui Ji was Jiang Wu's distant cousin.

When Gui Ji came to visit, it was indeed late, but Gui Ji had asked four of the five people to pass by.

Jiang Jiujin argued, "My dear, the younger ones have always had grudges with them, and they are slandering the younger ones."

"Sir, the young woman is a local, how could she have a distant cousin from Kyoto?" Jiang Wushi refused to admit that Gui Ji was her distant cousin.

The only middle-aged woman among the five people immediately exposed her, "Wu, you told me that when your cousin Gui came to visit you, he took a good piece of cotton fabric and two boxes of snacks."

The other four also said that they had no old grudges with Jiang Jiujin. The old man even said: "The little old man and Jiujin's father were old friends. They had intended to marry each other, but later they gave up because they were all sons."

The prefect asked the pharmacy shop's staff, "Is there anyone you know in this hall?"

"Sir, I know him." The pharmacy shop's mate pointed at Jiang Jiujin, "Sir, he went to the pharmacy to buy stones the day before yesterday, saying that it was a rat at home, so he bought the poisonous rat."

With so many people proof, Jiang Jiujin was indisputable. His wife failed to overturn the table, creating greater chaos, which made them unable to leave the scene while the chaos was in trouble and was arrested.

At this point, Jiang Jiujin could only admit that he had committed suicide by seeking money, but he said: "I don't know anything about it, everything is a small thing."

He wanted to sacrifice himself to protect his wife, but because of Jiang Wu's performance in court, he could no longer distinguish between him.

The prefect did not believe what Jiang Jiujin said at all. According to the rules, Jiang Jiujin was sentenced to death and Jiang Wu was exiled for thousands of miles.

The people who came to the trial shouted together: "My wise."

Li Luotang curled his lips. Is it okay if Gu Tingxian was the wise man? If Gu Tingxian hadn't called the witness, it would be strange if the prefect could clear the case.

Jiang Jiujin and Jiang Wu were taken to prison, and the shopkeeper, the guy, the chef, and the six people who came to testify could leave.

Li Luotang and Tang Chenxiao left the court with the people and returned to the inn. Sai Xishi came back at noon to play the lotus.

The two returned to the inn. As soon as they sat down, Ren Juege and the other two came back. Tian Shiqi went outside the city and did not come back so soon.

Sai Xishi greeted Li Luotang and Tang Chenxiao, then went into the kitchen. Li Luotang followed in. To be honest, it was the first time she heard the name of this dish, wanting to see what dish it was.

After Li Luotang saw Sai Xishi killing the quail, he scalded it in boiling water and then shed hair.

"What does this quail have to do with the golden toad?" Li Luotang asked in confusion.

Sai Shi smiled, "I don't know either."

Ren Yuge answered the two of them, "The quail will look like a golden toad."

"Is it possible that quails turn into golden toads?" Li Luotang didn't believe it and sat aside and watched.

Ren Yuge skillfully removed the entire quail from bones, and Sai Xishi looked embarrassed, "Is this going to be bone-deleted?"

Her luck was so bad that both dishes had to be removed from bones, and one dish was more difficult than the other.

"Come on, junior sister." Ren Yuge handed the knife to Sai Xishi.

Sai Xishi had to bite the bullet and went on the court, and he was at this point and could not retreat at the last minute.

The five quails finally took off their bones. Sai Xishi was already sweating profusely. Li Luotang took out a handkerchief to help her wipe off the sweat.

Saixishi took water-fried mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, black fungus and lean pork, cut them into diced diced rice, ginger, green onion and chopped into powder. Mix the ingredients well with Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, salt, etc., put them in a wok and stir-fry them to make the flavor, fill them into the belly of the cloth bag of quail, and seal them with bamboo sticks for later use.

"What is this?" Li Luotang asked.

"This is a bullfrog," Ren Yuge replied.

Saixi Shi uses boiling water to cook the bullfrogs and blanch the green beans. Cut the cucumber skin into thin slices, act as lotus leaves, cut the red squid into lotus petals, remove the pulp and wash it, put it in a steamer to steam it for later use.

"This lotus is in shape." Li Luotang said.

Sai Xishi adjusted a sauce for later use, poured oil into the wok, and heated it to 60% hotter in medium heat. He put the quail into a golden toad shape, fry it in the oil pan until it is fixed, took it out, pulled out the bamboo sticks, and put it in a steamer to steam.

"It's fried and steamed, it's really complicated." Li Luotang sighed.

Sai Xishi smiled. Under Ren Juege's guidance, he picked the fish meat off, chopped it into fine paste, added salt and egg white, stirred it into a paste, took a wine glass, applied a layer of oil in the cup, filled the fish paste and smoothed it, and decorated it with green beans.

"Tangtang, look, does this look like a lotus pod?" Ren Yuge asked with a smile.

Li Luotang nodded.

This lotus pod made of fish paste and green beans is also put into a steamer and steamed, poured out and placed on a plate with the steamed lotus.

After the quail was steamed, he took out his tail and placed it inward around the lotus, and used black beans as his eyes and placed it on both sides of the tail of the quail. Ren Yuge also asked Li Luotang specifically, "Does he look like a golden toad now?"

"It's a little bit." Li Luotang smiled.

Sai Xishi boiled the sauce that had been prepared before, skimmed off the foam, and poured the white sauce on the golden toad and lotus flowers. This dish is ready to serve.

Li Luotang leaned his head and said, "Red, yellow and green, plus white soup, the color combination is so beautiful and the shape is beautiful. Let's see how it tastes?"

The taste of this dish is crispy, tender, and the taste is mellow. Li Luotang and Sai Xishi ate two, Ren Yuge and Tang Chenxiao one by one, and Li Luotang said unsatisfiedly: "Shi Shi, next time you make it, you don't have to put it on the plate, just make a golden toad."

Sai Xishi burst out laughing, "Okay."

After resting for a while, Ren Yuge took Sai Xishi and Lu Daniu to the Divine Chef Sect. Li Luotang and Tang Chenxiao did not come out in the afternoon and took a nap. Li Luotang reads the novel, and Tang Chenxiao is studying the residual chapter of "Gui Materials".

Shen Shizheng, Tian Shiqi returned from Shenquan Villa, and Tang Chenxiao asked, "Is the hand washing banquet still held?"

"Operation, three days later." Tian Shiqi sneered.

"I won't participate, I haven't received any invitation anyway." Tang Chenxiao was unhappy to support Hong Kuan after hearing Li Luotang's talk about Hong Kuan's coming to cause trouble.

Li Luotang also said, "I won't go either, so as not to be driven out."

Tian Shiqi sighed, "It seems that I am the only one to attend the banquet alone."

Yi Jing went to Zhuqi Villa, but he hadn't returned to Lin'an yet, so he obviously couldn't get back.
