Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 142 Braised pork (2)

   King Yu is a master who is proficient in eating, drinking and playing, so the things involved are naturally related to eating, drinking and playing.

"That's an old case that happened a few years ago," Liu Yuan said. "A scholar who was rushing to take the exam who lived in the hotel died the day before the exam. This scholar was known as a romantic man during his lifetime, and his family He was well-known in the local area, and he was also somewhat talented. He had a good chance of winning the first prize in the scientific examination. However, he died inexplicably in the hotel the day before the final examination. Not only that, he was dug up after his death. A pair of tricks, the shape is terrifying!"

  The talent of this scholar is naturally highly valued by the family, and the family has high hopes for him. In the end, the man died inexplicably, and the family naturally refused to let it go. Not long after, the elders of several clans entered Beijing, looking for ways to put pressure on Dali Temple.

  This is the benefit of being an official in Dali Temple! Even when this case happened, apart from the old man Wei Fu, Liu Yuan and others had not yet entered Dali Temple. But right now, he is an official of Dali Temple, and he can easily take a look at the files of ordinary cases if he asks Zhao Mengzhuo, Minister of Dali Temple, to get a warrant.

   "That scholar is proud of his talents, and because he was born well, he is a bit rebellious." Liu Yuan couldn't help shaking his head and spreading his hands, "Such people are naturally easy to make troubles."

  When the spring breeze is proud, too many beams are formed. Once something happens, even if you want to find the enemy, you can list a long list, and it will be troublesome to check.

"The day before that scholar's accident, he had a dispute with King Yu over a prostitute in a brothel. The scholar was used to being proud of his talent, but he couldn't shame people like King Yu, so he wrote poems on the spot to ridicule him. He was very angry, and before he left, he told him that he would not see the sun tomorrow morning." Liu Yuan shrugged his shoulders at this point, "As a result, the scholar really didn't see the sun on the second day. He was found dead in the room."

  Under such circumstances, King Yu was naturally the first to bear the brunt and became the object of suspicion.

   "Then he is really suspected!" Hearing this, Wen Mingtang grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the glutinous rice balls, and said while nibbling, "How did it become an unsolved case after that?"

Liu Yuan sighed helplessly when he heard the words, and said: "King Yu does have motives, but similarly, there are many people who have motives. If you say that King Yu is a murderer just based on motives, then there are many people who killed him. "

  Evidence is the key to handling a case, but what is most lacking in this case is evidence.

  Of course, even if the Dali Temple did not have such a master of solving cases like Lin Fei back then, those who could enter the Dali Temple would not be vegetarians.

"This case is very complicated, and everyone in Dali Temple attaches great importance to it. But before any clues can be figured out, the first emperor ordered it to stop." Liu Yuan said, "The family of the scholar also offered not to pursue it anymore. The **** is gone, and the case has thus become an unsolved case."

  He rushed all the way to Chang'an to ask for an explanation, but suddenly stopped in the middle. This is really not right no matter how you look at it.

   But no matter how stupid the first emperor was, he was still an emperor! The Son of Heaven kept his word, and naturally no one in Dali Temple investigated the case when the late Emperor was here.

  As for why it can be checked now, the reason is very simple.

   "After His Majesty took office, Lin Shaoqing went to the palace, and His Majesty allowed re-examination of various old cases!" Liu Yuan said.

  The last emperor kept his promises, so this one is not a big deal? He is also the Son of Heaven, so if His Majesty said a word, he would naturally be able to investigate the case again.

  Wen Mingtang heard this, "Oh", thought for a while, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If the unsolved case can be solved, the families of the deceased should really thank Lin Shaoqing for making this trip!"

   "Isn't it?" Liu Yuan answered and sighed, "Lin Shaoqing went directly to Mr. Zhao and got the key to the warehouse. He almost didn't live in the warehouse these few days."

   After chatting for a while, seeing that it was almost time, Wen Mingtang and the others got up and continued preparing for the evening meal.

   Seeing that they were going to be busy again, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhubian also quit the public kitchen, so as not to disturb them.

When he went back to see Lin Fei, he saw a stack of files from old cases piled up next to Lin Fei's case, and he himself leaned over his desk to read those files carefully, but the file on top was sealed. Not disassembled.

  I took them all out, why didn’t I open this file?

   The two felt curious, so they asked, "Lin Shaoqing, which case file is this?"

  Lin Fei didn't raise his head, and said, "Wen Xuance's."

   Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu: "..."

   After a silence, Bai Zhu touched his nose in embarrassment, and said, "It really cannot be dismantled." But since it cannot be dismantled, why did Lin Shaoqing bring the dossier out?

  Lin Fei lowered his head and was busy looking through the files. Naturally, he couldn't explain these things. He just paused, and suddenly asked the two of them: "I heard that the Holy Majesty wants you two to find the missing elixir of Goguryeo?"

The two nodded immediately when they heard the words, and Liu Yuan made a special gesture: "The big elixir is bigger than a fist. I am afraid that except for fierce beasts like tigers that can swallow it in one gulp, there is no one with such a big mouth in life." gone."

  Lin Fei continued to flip through the file in his hand, but he was still talking to the two of them: "Has any of those envoys been to Chang'an?"

  Liu Yuan recalled the news he had inquired about, nodded and said, "That's right!"

  It is a long way from Goguryeo to Chang'an, so Goguryeo's envoys naturally have to bring a "guide" who knows the way. Otherwise, what should they do if they get lost?

  Earlier, an envoy from Huihe lost his way on his way to Chang'an, and only arrived at Chang'an after traveling in Darong for more than half a year.

  After listening to Liu Yuan, Lin Fei picked up the file in his hand, looked up at the two of them, and said, "When the scholar was killed, an envoy from Goguryeo came to Chang'an."

  As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu were stunned. After being stunned for a while, I felt that there was nothing strange about it, and it didn't matter if it was a coincidence.

  Goguryeo would send envoys to Chang'an every few years, even if they met once in a while, it didn't seem like a big deal.

Lin Fei knew what the two of them were thinking without the two of them opening their mouths to speak. Seeing this, he raised his eyelids and opened his mouth to explain why he said this: "The dead The quarrel between the scholar and King Yu was about a brothel prostitute from Goguryeo."

  As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuantong Bai Zhu's complexion changed slightly, but this slight change lasted only for a moment, but quickly recovered.

The Darong Heavenly Dynasty was prosperous, and Chang’an City came from all directions. If you go for a stroll in Luoma City, you can see foreigners wearing all kinds of foreign clothes everywhere: white, yellow, black; blue-eyed, green-eyed Yellow-haired ones, red-haired ones...Which of the brothels in Chang'an City won't have two white-skinned and blue-eyed barbarian singers, dancers, or simply flesh and blood prostitutes who serve Israeli servants?

   It is not surprising that there is a Goguryeo prostitute!

Seeing Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu's unaware faces, Lin Fei's expression remained calm, and he continued to speak: "When the envoys from Goguryeo came to Chang'an, they went to the brothel, and they went to the family where this prostitute lived. .”

  Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu hesitated when they heard this: Although they went to other countries to visit brothels as envoys, it made Goguryeo behind them feel a little uncomfortable. But this is a matter of personal morality after all, so it's hard to say anything. Even looking for a female prostitute from the same Goguryeo family background is reasonable, and maybe I like the word "citizen"!

  Lin Fei raised his eyelids, and said again: "The tribute they brought that time was not an elixir of immortality, but a 'immortal' who claimed to have been to the fairy mountains on the sea and knew the art of immortality."

  Although one brings people and one takes Dan, they are all related to "immortality".

   This coincidence is too many to justify.

  Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked at each other, and their faces became serious. After a pause, Bai Zhu asked, "The elixir of immortality was stolen this time. That person a few years ago..."

Lin Fei said: "The first emperor invited the 'immortal' to eat the roasted leg of lamb roasted by the barbarian. I don't know if the taste of the leg of lamb is too delicious, or the immortal is used to drinking fairy dew and is not used to eating food in the world. As a result, he ate too quickly and was caught. The bone got stuck in the throat and choked to death."

   Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu: "..."

   This method of death is really not very "immortal"!
