Dali Temple Small Dining Room 2

Chapter 51

reason?
Lin Fei tapped on the table lightly with his fingers, and said, "Bring Li Ruizhi and you'll know."

Originally, they thought that Li Ruizhi might be prepared for their trip yesterday, so when Liu Yuan went to the Huai'an County Government House, he deliberately brought a lot of servants, even Zhao You.

But after arriving at Huai'an County Government House, Liu Yuan realized that he was worrying too much. Li Ruizhi had already been waiting for him in front of the house.

"Last night, Liu Sicheng and Lin Shaoqing came to ask questions, and I knew I couldn't hide it." Li Ruizhi raised his hand, took the initiative to put on the shackles brought by the guards, and said with a wry smile, "The sage is right, if people don't know, unless There is nothing I can do. I did something wrong, and I really can’t escape it.”

Liu Yuan glanced at him with a complicated expression: "...Let's go!"

Since he was poisoned and killed, he should have expected today.

Thanks to Li Ruizhi's cooperation, this trip only took half an hour before returning.

After bringing him back to the prison of Dali Temple, Liu Yuan thought about it and went to find Ji Caimai.

Although the public chef's evening meal is still serving, but the thought of Master Wang's evening meal really makes people not have the slightest interest in eating evening meal.

But people always have to eat, so he went to Xun Ji to buy it, just to ask Master Wen if he would still be cooking supper today.

If Master Wen wants to have supper, the space in the stomach will be reserved for Master Wen's supper.

Ji Caimai's door was slightly closed, Liu Yuan knocked on the door, and when he pushed the door and entered, he saw Ji Caimai sitting there frowning and staring blankly.

"Ji Caimai, what's the matter?" Seeing this, Liu Yuan asked.

Ji Caimai glanced at him and said, "There is news from the internal affairs."

"Isn't the internal affairs yamen always out of control? Why did you get the news that they are in charge of the yamen's kitchen?" Liu Yuan asked, "What are they going to do?"

Ji Caimai said: "The distribution of ingredients for the public kitchens of the various ministries in the capital is uniformly arranged by the internal affairs."

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Which ghost came up with this idea? I'm too busy? I robbed you of your shopping work, and you are going to drive you home to farm?"

Ji Caimai said: "Purchasing is responsible for counting and supervising." He pointed to the pile of paper written on the table and said, "The rules are all listed on it."

Liu Yuan only glanced at it, and felt a headache when he saw the densely packed words on it, so he didn't read it again, and asked Ji Caimai: "In addition to counting and supervision, have you added a lot of rules?"

Ji Caimai nodded, and said: "It is stipulated that the three meals of the public kitchen cannot be repeated within three days."

"That's a good thing!" Liu Yuan couldn't help sighing after hearing the words, "As long as you don't cook all dishes with the same taste like Master Sun and Master Wang, no one will refuse such a rule."

Sure enough, people like Liu Yuan who only know how to eat and don't go into the kitchen don't understand those twists and turns.

"It also depends on what kind of dishes are sent by the internal affairs office." Ji Caimai rolled his eyelids and said, "In the past, there was any disturbance in the internal affairs department, and those who made good friends with me have already revealed the news in advance. Now suddenly When it came out like this, even the people in the internal affairs office didn't know what was going on, so they were caught off guard."

Liu Yuan spread his hands and didn't care: "Whatever is going on with him, wouldn't it be nice to have less time to do?"

Ji Caimai gave him a blank look, and asked him, "Why did you come here to find me?"

This sentence reminded Liu Yuan, and he hurriedly said, "Come and ask Master Wen if he is going to have supper today."

Ji Caimai pointed to one of the lines in the densely packed text, and said, "You can't provide such things as midnight snacks."

Liu Yuan was shocked when he heard a sentence: "Which bastard made this rule?"

Ji Caimai pointed to the direction of the Household Office, and said, "The group of bastards over there decided it."

The thought of eating evening food made by Wang Junshan soon gave him a headache.

Because of the sudden order from the internal affairs office, the vegetables on the Zhuangzi were also handed over to the internal affairs office, and the internal affairs office dispatched them.

Public chefs such as Wen Mingtang only need to wait for the ingredients delivered by the internal affairs office every day.

"But there are good and bad." Ji Caimai pointed to the bottom line of words, and said, "If these bastards from public kitchens violate the rules too much, they can be taken away."

This actually made Liu Yuan break free from the pain of not being able to eat supper, and said pleasantly: "Really?"

Ji Caimai nodded: "It's true."

This is probably the only good news in this series of news.

After coming out of Ji Caimai's place, he went to the public kitchen to eat evening food. Liu Yuan pulled a face and ordered a few dishes that didn't look so bad at random. Handed over.

The moment Liu Yuan took the bowl and plate, when he saw the smile on Wang Junshan's face from the corner of his eye, he frowned, and subconsciously said, "Master Wang, what are you laughing at? What makes you so happy?"

The smile on Wang Junshan's face froze, and he said dryly, "No...it's nothing!"

It was Liu Yuan's eyes that returned to him, and then Liu Yuan said: "Your smile always makes people feel uneasy, good intentions!"

Wang Junshan, who had done something wrong, panicked and was about to say a few words when he saw Liu Yuan leaving with a plate.

It looks like it's just a casual talk!Wang Junshan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and murmured: "I was scared to death!"

This group of Dali Temple officials is really scary sometimes.

After dinner, Liu Yuan and Lin Fei went to see Li Ruizhi who had been sent to prison.

"Are you asking me why I poisoned my uncle?" Before Lin Fei could open his mouth, Li Ruizhi said, "My family is poor, so it's fine if I haven't lived a good life, but I've seen such a good life , how can you go back to live a poor life? My uncle adopted me early, but he refused to report to the court. I was afraid that if the delay continued, not only the title would be gone, but also the family wealth. After weighing the two, I decided to give up the title , keep the money."

The reason is plausible, not far-fetched at all.

Lin Fei looked at Li Ruizhi, nodded, and said, "You were indeed the one who poisoned Duke Huai'an, so the deaths of Yan San and others are related to you?"

After a moment of hesitation, Li Ruizhi shook his head and said, "Why should I kill Yan San and the others?"

Lin Fei looked at him, and said, "If you hadn't killed Yan San, why would Zhang Zeduan's servants, Huang Ying and others, help cover it up and push Zhang Zeduan out to be this scapegoat?"

Li Ruizhi's eyes flickered, but he said, "I don't understand what Lin Shaoqing is talking about."

Lin Fei said: "Right now, the only ones who did evil are Duke Huai'an and Zhang Zeduan. Duke Huai'an was poisoned, and he didn't have a few days to live. He was like a dead person. In the end, there was only Zhang Zeduan left. If you become a murderer, these people will all be solved."

Li Ruizhi lowered his eyelids: "I don't understand what Lin Shaoqing is saying."

Lin Fei was not surprised that Li Ruizhi didn't understand, he just paused and said, "It's okay, you don't understand, someone will understand."

Li Ruizhi's face changed slightly.
