Chapter 78 Taste the sauce and tell the past

"The young miss is so good-looking, why didn't your brother-in-law join him? Of course, the young lady doesn't look down on your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law has been beaten but he doesn't have a long memory..." Nanny Chai stopped The movement of his hand was full of emotion, "It's a pity that our lady is very smart in other things, why did she fall into his hands?"

Ji Chongyan's face was pale, his eyelids drooped and he didn't make a sound.

Chai Momo was still sighing with emotion: "Now that Brother Yan is born, I saw that Brother Yan looked exactly like you when he was young. When Brother Yan grows up, tell him to vent his anger on Miss!"

Ji Chongyan gave a "hmm" and put a piece of tofu into Nanny Chai's bowl.

Nanny Chai picked up the bowl and ate, but didn't say any more.

Lin Yan, who had no sense of presence in the corner, put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Wu Youcai, who poked his head out from the end of the corridor, and looked at Wu Youcai, who was hesitant to speak. After exchanging glances with Ji Chongyan, he got up and left the table.

At the dinner table with Nanny Chai, Lin Yan's status was so "low" that it could be ignored, so naturally he would not let Nanny Chai notice when he left the table at any time.

But even so, Lin Yan still made a big circle around to avoid Nanny Chai's sight, walked behind Wu Youcai, then patted Wu Youcai's shoulder, coughed lightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu Youcai was taken aback by Lin Yan who suddenly appeared behind him, and said, "My lord, the results of the interrogation of those assassins have come out."

……

In the prison of Baoling County Yamen, the suspects who were tied up and tied to wooden stakes were a little mentally ill. Naturally, when they came to the Yamen, they would be punished to some extent. Whole beards and tails are not short of catties or taels, but the energy is not as good as yesterday.

Wu Youcai rubbed his hands at the side, nervously repeating the news from the interrogation: "My lord, those jugglers said that their family called the country gentry Hu Jingui, Wang Yuanbao and Zhou Fushou to be persecuted, so they threw themselves into Jianghu has practiced all his skills, and took advantage of the crowds of the Dragon Boat Festival to assassinate these three."

Lin Yan took the interrogation record from Wu Youcai and scanned it: "Have you investigated the persecution?"

Wu Youcai hurriedly nodded and said, "I've checked, I've checked, and I've found a lot of witnesses. These girls, Lin Xiaomei, are pretty good, and Hu Jingui fell in love with them..."

Before he finished talking about the squire's bullying of men and women, Lin Yan had already interrupted him: "Okay, I understand."

It was all in the interrogation record, and he had already read it at a glance.

"Open the door!" After returning the interrogation record to Wu Youcai, Lin Yan looked at the suspects tied to the stakes through the cell door and said, "I have something to ask these guys."

Wu Youcai hurriedly called the yamen servant, opened the lock and invited Lin Yan in.

The suspect looked up at Lin Yan who walked in, with a blank expression.

Assassinated in public, I had already planned to escape being caught and died, no matter who came, it was the same.

"We have already explained," before Lin Yan could speak, the brawny man who played the meteor hammer yesterday said, "This squire bullied our little sister..."

"I'm not the kind of person who likes to ask nonsense, so I don't need to repeat what I said to Master Wu before." Lin Yan said and looked at the strong man, "I also know about your enmity with the squire, I just ask you One thing, who arranged for your assassination yesterday?"

The brawny man was startled when he heard this, and after a moment's pause, he looked away from Lin Yan's gaze unnaturally, and said, "It's us, these country gentry are vicious..."

"You Lin Xiaomei have been murdered by these three squires for so many years. Why didn't you report your revenge sooner or later, but chose to report it yesterday when countless Jiangnan Dao officers and soldiers were present?" Lin Yan said, raising his eyelids, Looking at the few people in front of him, "What's the difference between this and death?"

The brawny man was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't thought of this, but the man beside him who was sick and turned into a child with a human face said: "Revenge is revenge, so why choose a day? Hu Jingui, Zhou Fushou Don't these people deserve to die?"

"Damn it!" Lin Yan nodded, and without even thinking about it, he opened his mouth to agree with his words, and said, "So they died yesterday, and they asked you to take revenge. If this is just a personal enmity between you and Hu Jingui and others Forget it, but obviously someone wants to borrow your personal enmity to kill someone with a knife."

"We don't know what you're talking about." The man pursed his lower lip and gritted his teeth, "I don't know..."

"If Hu Jingui and the others were just ordinary people in Baoling City, they wouldn't have the courage to bully Lin Xiaomei. If these three people hadn't made a fortune from the war 20 years ago, they wouldn't have grown into bullies." In the voice of Ji Chongyan who came in Brings a bit of coolness.

"These three people were just ordinary people before they made their fortunes. How did ordinary people intercept merchant ships and make troubles with water gods, making the accompanying sailors and guards on merchant ships helpless? We only investigated the incident from 20 years ago. When it comes to Hu Jingui and others, before they have time to tell who the person who helped them back then is, let you kill them."

Ji Chongyan looked coldly at the prisoner tied to the wooden stake, and said: "If you want to take revenge, you have to uproot them. You will be used by the real murderer as a scapegoat for eradicating Hu Jingui and the others."

This is really a bit ugly, it's almost like pointing at their heads and calling them "stupid".

The faces of the prisoners turned pale, and after a moment's pause, they said, "I said..."

Lin Yan glanced at Ji Chongyan with a cold expression on the side: If it's true, we should call Chongyan for the interrogation.

Originally, they only came here to track down Ye Mingzhu, but they didn't expect that there would be such discord behind Baoling City, the so-called blessed land in the south of the Yangtze River.

……

Several people in Jiang's Bieyuan were happily eating the antique soup, while Jiang Shaoyan was smiling and helping them adjust the sauce.After all, everyone agrees that the sauce made by "Miss Four" is better.

Ms. Liu, a professional chef, has a good tongue. As soon as she tasted the prepared sauce, she talked about the contents of the sauce: "sauce, vinegar, sesame paste and sesame oil."

Fourth Miss made several dipping sauces, and Xiao Wu, a handsome heavy-tasting lover, took the dish of chive flowers, garlic, sesame sauce, sesame oil, and chili sauce and ate it without looking up.

Jiang Shaoyan nodded, acquiescing to Mrs. Liu's guess.

Mrs. Liu, who guessed it right, just smiled, looked down at the dipping sauce on the plate, and said with a sad expression, "Miss Fourth made it better, but I didn't. In the past, on the rivers and rivers, I caught fish and brought it directly to the soup." The soup is boiled and eaten, because it is fresh and delicious. But the ghost always likes to eat it with sauce, and eats more than anyone else while disgusting that my cooking is not delicious."

"In those years of war, many people fled to Baoling, including civilians and deserters on the battlefield. I advised him not to go out, but he didn't listen. He must have found a way to make money and wanted to earn more. Qian Hao came to my house to propose marriage..."

I don't know if it was the chili sauce that was put in the sauce by mistake or because she was a little intoxicated by the hustle and bustle of the fireworks, Madam Liu talked about the "dead ghost" that was rarely mentioned in front of outsiders with red eyes.

Twenty years ago, many things happened in Baoling City, which seemed not to be affected by the disaster of war.
