Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 228
Yuan Shouwei smiled at him gratefully, and said angrily:

"I wanted to pray for my wife, but people pointed me here, saying that this Taoist temple can also pray for blessings."

When the old farmer heard this, there was a trace of anger on his face and he said:
"It must be another businessman who has nothing to do all day long, and he is really not afraid of causing trouble."

Then he solemnly dissuaded Yuan Shouwei and said:

"Mr. Lang, please don't be gullible. This Taoist temple used to be very popular. Later, we were occupied by Goryeo barbarians for a period of time, and it declined."

"I didn't say you were a barbarian."

"Not long after County Magistrate Mu came, he thought that the Taoist temple would flourish again. But not long after, the demon dragon appeared again, and it was considered a complete decline. Alas!"

After Yuan Shouwei chatted with the old man for a few more words, he thanked him and went straight to the county seat.

When they arrived at the guest house, they waited patiently for Liu Huai to come back.

It was not until Haishi that Liu Huai came back drunk.

Yuan Shouwei did not rush to ask, but first brought him the prepared orange peel soup.

"Old Zhang Liu, please sober up first and slow down the alcohol."

Liu Huai took the orange peel soup and drank it all in one gulp, and said with some embarrassment:

"I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Yuan Shouwei poured him another bowl and said with a smile:

"What are you talking about, father-in-law? You are going to do business, no matter how late it is, you should do it."

"You weren't checked by the handymen on the way, were you?"

Liu Huai nodded and said:

"It's so late, you will definitely be interrogated."

"But many of them are acquaintances, so we can just say hello and pass by."

Then he said with a solemn expression:
"Mr. Lang, I've asked you all the things you asked me to inquire about. Can I tell you now?"

Yuan Shouwei nodded and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, husband. I am all ears."

Liu Huai took another sip of orange peel soup and started talking.

The cook was not a good drinker, and he only asked when he was drunk.

It is true that Mrs. Mu has never eaten snow clams. All she ate was the meat sent by Assistant Sun.

Just boil the clams and meat and throw away the clams.

Mu Mingfu and Sun's staff also arranged for the cook not to mention meat, especially Mrs. Mu.

He was also curious and secretly tasted the meat. It was so sour that it was hard to swallow.

Although I don’t know what kind of meat it is, I think it is used to treat Madam’s illness. Since it is medicine, it is normal for it to be a bit unpalatable.

Liu Huai was talking to himself, but he didn't know that Yuan Shouwei's hair on the other side was standing on end.

As for the maid, in two or three years, Mu Ming Mansion will replace Madam with a maid.

And the previous maid gave her a sum of money and sent her away from afar.

But the cook heard that the maid who left last had died of a sudden illness.

Basically, he only got so much information, and he didn't know if it would be helpful to Yuan Shouwei.

It was helpful, it was so helpful. Yuan Shouwei suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked again:
"Old man, do you know the origin of Assistant Sun?"

Liu Huai shook his head and said:
"I really don't know that."

"I also asked the cook, and he didn't know the origin of the staff member."

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and no one appears without a reason.

Yuan Shou asked Liu Huai to go to rest next door first. After thinking about it alone for a long time, he figured out the clues and secretly left the guest house and went directly to Li Sisheng's home.

Along the way, Shi spread his legs and walked like a ghost, avoiding the patrol of the policemen and sneaking into Li Sisheng's home.

The backyard was dark and no one was there.He quietly walked to the front yard again, only to see a faint light coming from the main hall.

He took a closer look and saw that Li Sisheng was drinking alone with a sad look on his face.

I couldn't help but smile secretly in my heart, stepped into the main hall, and said with a smile:

"One person doesn't drink, two people don't gamble."

"Sisheng, can I have a drink?"

Li Sisheng heard a sound unexpectedly and was startled. When he looked up and saw it was him, he couldn't help being surprised and happy. He stood up hurriedly:
"You're back, Taoist Priest? How's the investigation going?"

After speaking, he took the wine glass and said self-deprecatingly:
"I'm too impatient, and it's impossible to get results so quickly."

"After all, I have been searching for more than a month and there are not many clues."

Yuan Shouwei sat down cross-legged and said calmly:
"Basically, the investigation is clear, and the rest is verification."

After hearing this, Li Sisheng almost swallowed the wine glass at his mouth, his eyes opened wider than the wine glass, and he said in a trembling voice:
"Taoist Priest, what did you say?"

"I couldn't figure out something for more than a month, and you figured it out in one afternoon?"

After finishing speaking, he said to himself:

"I understand, Taoist Priest."

"You're just looking at me drinking alone here to make me happy, right?"

Sisheng, it’s okay if you don’t have a good IQ. I didn’t expect that you still have delusions. Yuan Shouwei looked at Li Sisheng with bright eyes and said:,

"Let me tell you, do you listen?"

"Am I just teasing you, or am I really checking it out?"

Li Sisheng looked at Yuan Shouwei's eyes as deep as a pond, and suddenly realized that what Yuan Shouwei said must be the truth. He immediately became excited and knelt down in front of Yuan Shouwei.

"Master, please tell me."

This is in the Tang Dynasty. If it were in modern times, I wouldn't dare to let you do such a big ceremony. Yuan Shouwei smiled and picked up the wine glass on the dining table and started gesticulating.

"Let's stick to the last few points, Suolongjing, Poisonous Insect, County Magistrate Mu, Mrs. Mu, and Xue Ha. These are the original five points."

I wanted to get another wine glass and found that it was gone.

When Li Sisheng saw this, he immediately took all the wine glasses, plates, and bowls on his dining table.urged:

"Taoist Priest, don't show off, keep talking."

Yuan Shouwei then picked up another cup and said:

"Sisheng, I went to Suolong Temple in the afternoon. After observing there for two hours, I found that there was a Sandan Taoist in the temple."

"Obviously, you and Liu Dashan were only discovered when they went down the well because Taoist Sandan informed Mu Ming Mansion."

After saying that, he put the cup under the Suolongjing, representing the Sandan Taoist.

After listening, Li Sisheng nodded repeatedly and said:
"I also think there should be someone in the audience. Because I know these policemen very well, they will definitely not dare to stay there at night."

"It's just that I've been investigating for a long time and haven't found anyone inside."

"Taoist Priest, how did you find out there was someone inside?"

Yuan Shouwei smiled and said:

"It's simple. I use the 'Ladder Cloud Zong' technique to step up to the treetops and observe patiently for a while."

After hearing this, Li Sisheng couldn't help but said discouraged:

"That's easy for you, but for me and Liu Dashan, it's extremely difficult."

After speaking, he said to Yuan Shouwei with some envy:

"Taoist Priest, can you teach me the 'Tiyunzong' movement technique you mentioned?"

Sisheng, I am willing to leave it to you, but I feel that your IQ is not as good as Zhongqing, and I am afraid that you will not be able to learn. Yuan Shouwei cursed in his heart, but said:
"Okay, I'll teach you when I'm done with this."
