Dali Temple Small Dining Room 2

Chapter 44 Red Oil Chaoshou ([-])

Is this the benefit of buying?
Liu Yuan glanced at Ji Caimai, took a sip of the salty and oily soup in the pan-fried buns, and cursed: "Fake the public to help the private!"

Ji Caimai raised his eyebrows, wiped the vinegar and chili oil splashed on the corners of his mouth, and said: "If you don't do the shopping to save money for the public kitchen, don't you want to waste the money for nothing? If you have any objections, the two of us should go." Argue in front of Mr. Zhao!"

Master Zhao in Ji Caimai's mouth naturally refers to Zhao Mengzhuo, the minister of Dali Temple.

Liu Yuan's teeth became sore when he heard this: This shrewd old man surnamed Ji has moved out of Mr. Zhao, so what can he say?

"Furthermore, you don't want to try the Chaoshou made by Master Wen?" Ji Caimai said, putting down the chopsticks in his hand, looking at the empty plate in front of him with a satisfied look on his face, "I haven't eaten for a long time. !"

Liu Yuan rolled his eyes at him, bared his teeth at Ji Caimai, and fell silent.

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot. When he is ten or eight years old, he will deal with this surname Ji again.

After eating the fried buns, when he went to look for Lin Shaoqing with the file in his arms, he saw Zhao You who was collecting the dishes.

Sure enough... Lin Shaoqing also knew that Master Wen's court food was delicious.

Looking at Lin Fei who was slowly wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Liu Yuan asked, "Lin Shaoqing, what seasoning do you like to dip these fried buns in?"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuan, who noticed that he was talkative, quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and was about to admit his mistake, so he heard Lin Fei say, "Dip in vinegar and spicy oil!"

Liu Yuan's mouth was much faster than his brain, and he said it again: "Then buy the same thing as Master Wen and Ji Cai!"

Lin Fei glanced at him.Liu Yuan, who came back to his senses, wished he could give himself a slap in the face, but fortunately, Shangfeng didn't delve into it. He just flipped through yesterday's file and said to Liu Yuan, "You can check whether the witnesses from Lu Qing are It's true, if it's true, Lu Qing will put it aside for now, and you can look it up elsewhere."

Liu Yuan answered "Yes".

Lin Fei looked down at the files he had read countless times, paused for a moment, and suddenly pulled out a note from the corner of the table with his backhand.

Liu Yuan took a closer look: it was the list of customers who bought these medicinal bath packs that he copied when Yan San and others took medicinal baths that day.

Lin Fei pointed to the people on the list except Yan San and others, and said: "Go and check these people..." He tapped his fingers on the table lightly, as if thinking about it, and said, "These people Like Yan San, Renke has a private boat on the Weishui River, where was their private boat on the day of the incident?"

Liu Yuan was startled when he heard this, and felt as if an invisible hand had suddenly grasped those complicated confessions in his mind at this moment, and he suddenly came back to his senses: "Shuangxi, Lu Qing and the others all knew that Yan San's private The boat was hit by a private boat next to it..."

Lin Fei nodded and said: "Yesterday I interrogated Double Happiness again. According to what he said, there was no one at the helm on Yan San's private boat, and it collided with Li Yuan's boat. This collision directly hit Yan San's boat to the shore. The Weishui River is wide, and seven or eight private boats can run parallel at the same time. It is rare to hear of a boat being hit when it stops. The one that collided with Yan San's private boat The private boat...I suspect it's not a problem with the helm, but that I wanted to get close to Yan San's private boat deliberately to see what's going on on board."

Liu Yuan suddenly realized when he heard the words: "So, if there is something wrong with the private boat that hit Yan San...then Yan San's private boat was parked in the river...It is very likely that the two boats met in the river, and the person boarded the boat. After boarding Yan San's private boat, something happened later, Yan San was killed, and the man fled back to his private boat and sailed away. Because he didn't know that Li Yuan's private boat collided with Yan San's private boat After seeing Yan San's private boat with no one at the helm, he went back to the shore by himself, and in a panic, he wanted to check the situation, but it collided because it was too close?"

"It's possible." Lin Fei said, "Go and investigate these people."

Liu Yuan went away in response.

After running around until sunset, Liu Yuan brought people back to Dali Temple, and then went directly to see Lin Fei.

Glancing at Liu Yuan who was sweating profusely, Lin Fei handed over a bowl of sour plum drink and said, "It's from the public chef..."

Hearing the words "from the public chef", Liu Yuan felt dizzy for a while, and instinctively said: "That's still not necessary..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuan was stunned when he saw the sour plum drink placed in front of him: the bowl was still the big green bowl of the public chef, but the sour plum drink that was scorched black like soup a few days ago The child is gone.Instead, it was a maroon drink, dotted with a few golden osmanthus flowers, and on the top layer, there was actually a small piece of floating ice.

This... Liu Yuan was stunned.

"Ji Cai bought it," Lin Fei said, glanced at him, and said, "I heard that the new master Wen made it."

Hearing that it was made by Master Wen, Liu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the big green bowl and poured it down fiercely.

Thank goodness!Although Ji Caimai is a bit old and cunning, but in such matters, he is really a good person!

After taking a few sips of the sour plum drink made by Wen Mingtang and tasting the sweetness in his mouth, Liu Yuan held the file and talked to Lin Fei about the business.

"Lin Shaoqing, I have found the witnesses Lu Qing mentioned, proving that Lu Qing was indeed staying with them before noon," Liu Yuan said, "Lu Qing can let it go for now."

Of course, as one of the suspects who boarded the ship, Lu Qing would not let him go until the case was revealed.

"Then, after I took that note and excluded those who did not have a private boat, were on the shore, and had witnesses, there were two people left," Liu Yuan said, pointing to the key circled on the note in his hand. Two names, said, "One is Zhang Zeduan, a wealthy businessman in the city. He has a private boat in the Weishui River. When the incident happened, he was on board, and there was no witness other than his personal servants."

It is hard to say whether such personal servants are credible as witnesses, but of course Zhang Zeduan's suspicion cannot be ruled out.

"The other one is the Duke of Huai'an..." At this point, Liu Yuan paused suddenly and said, "The name on this note is the nephew of the Duke of Huai'an. However, Zhang Zeduan, Yan San and others did not have their own Come forward to buy the medicine bag, besides, the reputation of the Duke of Huai’an is really not very good, the lower official thinks, compared with his nephew, it is very likely that he asked his nephew to come out and buy this medicine bag for him.”

"Zhang Zeduan has been brought here, and he is in the inner hall. As for the Duke of Huai'an..." Liu Yuan paused for a while, and said, "For the time being, the lower official is silent, just looking for someone to keep an eye on the Duke of Huai'an." gone."

Duke Huai'an is no richer businessman than Zhang Zeduan, so it's not easy to bring people directly to Dali Temple.If you go directly to the mansion for questioning, it's good if you can find out anything, but if you don't find out anything, it's not good to startle the snake instead.

Lin Fei nodded when he heard this, and said to Liu Yuan, "Good job!" After that, he got up and said, "Go and see this Zhang Zeduan!"
