The Peerless Servant

Zhang San saw Huo Chenan's strange look and asked: "What's wrong? Have you run out of salt? Eat mine first!" Zhang San took out a small cloth bag from his arms, took out a gray salt from it, and handed it to Huo Chenan. Huo Chenan looked at the black salt and couldn't help complaining in his heart, this is not eating salt, this is poisoning! Because there are many impurities in coarse salt, including sodium sulfate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, etc., eating too much will cause food poisoning sooner or later. He declined Zhang San's kindness and finished his first meal in this world. Huo Chenan secretly made up his mind: No, I have to solve the food problem first. Otherwise, I will die before I can regain my freedom. ... Today Huo Chenan was assigned the task of shopping. He took this opportunity to buy a lot of food with the monthly salary that "he" had saved for many years. The Su family treated the slaves very generously, not only providing food and accommodation, but also a monthly salary of two coins of silver. Huo Chenan has saved a lot of money over the years, and now it's all for him, a time traveler. After returning to the Su Mansion, Huo Chenan handed over the things and money he bought today, and went into the kitchen with the ingredients he bought to get busy. It was not until the evening that Huo Chenan walked out of the kitchen with satisfaction. ... Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty... That night. Zhang San, who had been cleaning the toilet for a day, was stinking all over. He carried a wooden basin, endured the stench on his body, and came to the well to fetch water and prepare to take a bath. While fetching water, a smell of vegetables floated over, and Zhang San couldn't help but salivate. Regardless of the stench on his body, he snorted like a dog and went over to smell the smell. He turned a corner and found Huo Chenan squatting behind the corner. In front of him, there was an iron pot on a few stones. The firewood under the pot was crackling and sparks were emitting. The vegetables in the pot were sizzling and oil was dripping. "Chenan, you are eating secretly!" Zhang San said with drool. "Shh, keep your voice down. I bought everything myself. Only the pot is from the kitchen and I put it back after use." "Really?" "Sit down and eat together?" "Okay!" Zhang San's saliva was almost flowing out. He walked forward and a foul smell came with it. "I'll go, buddy, can you take a shower first?" Zhang San smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll take a shower first, you leave some for me." "Okay, okay." Hearing Huo Chenan's promise, Zhang San went to take a shower with peace of mind, but he didn't walk far when he heard a scolding behind him. "You are such a thief slave, how dare you steal food!" "I didn't, you slandered me, you slandered me." Zhang San thought that his crime was exposed and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape punishment. In a panic, he stumbled and fell into the small lake in the back garden of the Su Mansion with a plop. ... Huo Chenan was tied up and brought to the main hall of the Su family. At this time, Su Linglong was sitting at the head with a cold face. On the table next to her, there were three things, a small cloth bag, a small wooden box, and a plate of colorful and fragrant stir-fried vegetables. She was furious when she saw Huo Chenan. It was this thief slave again. The guy who peeped at her last night was really not a good bird. He must be punished today. Su Linglong thought about it and asked:"What's going on?" The guard who caught Huo Chenan said: "Reporting to the eldest lady, when I was patrolling, I found him eating while cooking, so I caught him." "Uncle Fu, how should theft be punished?" "According to the Dashun law, those who steal more than 3 guan should be sentenced to death." "What did he steal?" Su Linglong was also surprised. She thought that a slight punishment would be enough, but she didn't expect that he would be sentenced to death. "A bag of fine salt and a box of ointment, the value of both is far more than 3 guan." After hearing this, Su Linglong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It's hard to prevent thieves from guarding against the house day and night. I didn't expect that such a big borer would appear in the house. "9526, what else do you have to say!" Su Linglong sneered. "Miss, he is 9527." Uncle Fu reminded beside him. Su Linglong was stunned. This guy dared to deceive herself. Seeing that he looked decent, she thought he was a pure and kind person. I didn't expect that he was so unbearable inside. Huo Chenan looked at Su Linglong's cold eyes and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. If he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place. However, the most important thing now is to prove his innocence, and he didn't care about anything else. He shouted immediately. "Miss, I am innocent! I am innocent!" "Humph, what injustice do you have for a scum like you! Recruiting you into our Su Mansion has tarnished the lintel of our Su Mansion." Su Linglong snorted coldly. "I bought all those things." "Hehe, what a joke, not to mention where you got so much money, just talking about fine salt, even my Su family had to use a lot of connections to buy it, where can you, a little servant, buy it?" Su Linglong was so angry that she laughed. "I know how to make salt, and I can make fine salt with coarse salt." "Do you think I will still believe your lies? Someone take him to the county government office and wait for his fate." As he said that, two guards came up and wanted to drag Huo Chenan away. "Miss, do you dare to let me try!" Su Linglong just looked at him coldly without any reaction. "Last night, I saw..." Huo Chenan shouted word by word.
