Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 116 Xiaolong soup dumpling (4)

   Liu Yuan followed Lin Fei out of the prison.

"Does Lin Shaoqing think that Zhou Dagui is lying?" Liu Yuan followed Lin Fei and asked, "But you can lie about this kind of thing... This matter is really disgraceful, and most people would rather die Rotten in the stomach."

  If what Zhou Dagui said this week was all arranged, who would make him want to protect himself even if he poured dirty water on himself like this?

  Lin Fei didn't speak, so Liu Yuan continued.

   "What he said now can be explained, but no one but him can prove it." Liu Yuan couldn't help reaching out and patted his forehead when he said this, "It's difficult!"

   It's really difficult!

Lin Fei stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said to Liu Yuan: "If what he said is true, no one can prove it, so we can only look for physical evidence; if what he said is false, find out who he is trying to protect is the key."

   Liu Yuan also deeply agrees with this point: But... where do we start?

   "Ask those mountain people again to see what Zhou Dagui is doing in his daily life." Lin Fei said.

Liu Yuan said "Oh", although he agreed, he didn't leave immediately, but after hesitating for a moment, he said: "I asked those mountain people a long time ago, after learning about his wife and Mrs. Zhuang Meiniang I specifically asked Dagui what kind of woman he got close to this week, and he said no..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuan suddenly said "ah", slapped his head again, and said, "That's right! If the things Zhou Dagui just testified were half-truths, he changed his preferences because of being stimulated, and changed his mind. If you like men, I'd like to ask Zhou Dagui what kind of men he gets close to in his daily life!"

  Lin Fei looked at Liu Yuan, who was slapping his head, and was silent for a moment, then said, "Ask the mountain folk where he goes on weekdays and how he walks in his daily life. Don't forget about everything."

  Liu Yuan responded with an "oh", and was about to turn around and leave, but Lin Fei stopped him again, saying: "When you go out to ask questions, bring a few servants by your side, just in case."

   Liu Yuan was greatly moved when he heard a sentence: Did Shangfeng take care of him like this? Just as he was about to say a few words to express his gratitude, Shangfeng turned around and left.

  …

  The matter of Lin Fei and Liu Yuan has little to do with Wen Mingtang and others.

   After cooking the court food and handing over the public kitchen to Master Sun, Wen Mingtang took A Bing and glutinous rice **** out of Dali Temple.

  Just two days after the Dragon Boat Festival, the atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival in Chang’an City has not yet completely subsided. The dragon boats that have not been collected during the Dragon Boat Festival are still parked on the banks of the Weishui River, and there are even one or two dragon boat races every day, which is the end of the festival.

  Wen Mingtang and others are the festival tails who ran there at this time!

One person had a bamboo tube with drinks hanging on his body, and some snacks in a cloth bag beside him. Because it was not the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there were not many people who came to celebrate the end of the festival. "Tickets" are much cheaper than those on Dragon Boat Festival.

  Twenty copper coins will be enough to go up and watch.

  The three of them happily boarded the viewing platform, and saw the dragon boats docked side by side not far away, talking and chatting with the dragon boat riders waiting for the start of the race.

   "The red one in the middle is beautiful!" Tangyuan looked around and pointed to the red dragon boat in the middle and said.

  Wen Mingtang looked at the middle-aged man who was coming here with a smiling chip hanging from a distance, untied his purse, and said, "Then bet on red..."

  Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

   "Smelly girl surnamed Wen!"

   You can recognize this voice without turning your head. Wen Mingtang turned his head to look at Li Yuan, the king of Pingxi Xiaojun who came behind him.

   Li Yuan was surrounded by Double Happiness, who he carried everywhere as usual, and a few wealthy young men who were dressed in rich clothes and who were about the same age as him.

  Seeing Li Yuan's agitated look, a wealthy young man on the side subconsciously asked, "Who is she? When have you known such a person?"

Birds of a feather flock together. Wen Mingtang, Tang Yuan, and A Bing were obviously not of the same type as them in their attire.

Li Yuan ignored the questions from the people around him, walked up to Wen Mingtang and the others, glared at Wen Mingtang and said, "My lord, I haven't come to eat dinner for a few days, why don't you know how to find someone to ask me? "

  Wen Mingtang: "..." I asked him again, if she, the cook of the public kitchen of Dali Temple, went to point fingers and tell a small prince of Pingxi what to eat?

  It's just that even though he was thinking this way in his heart, Wen Mingtang said in his mouth: "I'm busy making zongzi or something, I forgot."

   It turned out to be busy! Thinking that she was responsible for the food of the entire Dali Temple with the two people around her who didn't look very smart, she was really busy. Li Yuan's expression turned pale, obviously he accepted Wen Mingtang's explanation, but he said in his mouth: "Isn't this self-inflicted? I told you to come to my house and be responsible for the young master's food alone. enough?"

  Wen Mingtang laughed dryly twice, and unceremoniously "borrowed" Lin Fei for use.

  No matter how arrogant the left and right are, they still have nothing to do with Lin Fei.

Sure enough, as soon as the name "Lin Fei" came out, Li Yuan stopped asking questions, and turned to look at the middle-aged man who was waiting for Wen Mingtang and others to place their bets, and said, "What vision? Why did you choose the red dragon boat in the middle?" ? Pick the yellow one on the far left! That one is the most powerful!"

  Looking at Li Yuan's proud face, Wen Mingtang was silent for a moment, and while Tang Yuan hesitated to speak, he bet one tael of silver on Huang Longzhou to win.

Although Li Yuan, who had little money, looked down on him, he was still very satisfied with Wen Mingtang and others' attitude of "correcting if you know your mistakes". You will lose that money!"

   This reaction obviously confirmed one thing: the yellow dragon boat should be the dragon boat of Pingxi County Prince's Mansion.

  After Li Yuan and the others left, Wen Mingtang called the middle-aged man who was in charge of betting chips over, pointed at the red dragon boat that Tangyuan picked at the beginning, and said, "Press it to win!"

   As he spoke, he took out two taels of silver to inject money

   This move made Tangyuan both happy and uneasy. After the middle-aged man left, he hurriedly said to Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen, I just see it looks good. If you lose it..."

"If you lose, you lose." Wen Mingtang didn't care about this, but his eyes fell on the group of dragon boat riders on the red dragon boat in the middle, paused, and whispered, "I see the group of dragon boats on the red dragon boat The shape of the hands and body looks like that of a Lianjiazi."

   Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is...

"The group of dragon boat riders just nodded and greeted him," Wen Mingtang said, pointing to a group of people hugging and walking by the Weishui River, "the one in the middle is King Yu, who has never heard of any major achievements. , but this kind of fun is a person who wants to be the first in everything."

  Looking at the group of people walking around, Wen Mingtang narrowed his eyes slightly: "This man's methods are not so candid, the little county king and the others may not be able to compete."

  Compared to King Yu, Li Yuan is really just a half-grown child.
