Chapter 51 Red Oil Copy Hand (8)

Reason?

Lin Fei tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, "We'll find out when we bring Li Ruizhi."

Originally thinking that they had made such a trip yesterday, Li Ruizhi might have been prepared, so Liu Yuan specially brought many servants with him when he went to the Huai'an County Mansion, even Zhao You.

However, after arriving at the Huai'an County Palace, Liu Yuan realized that he had been worrying too much. Li Ruizhi had already been waiting for him in front of the mansion.

"Last night, Liu Sicheng and Lin Shaoqing came to ask questions, and I knew I couldn't hide it anymore." Li Ruizhi raised his hand, took the initiative to put on the shackles brought by the officer, and said with a bitter smile, "The saint is right. If you don't want people to know, unless Don't do anything for yourself. 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, Bendang expected this day to happen.

Thanks to Li Ruizhi's cooperation, the trip took only half an hour and came back.

After taking the person back to the prison of Dali Temple, Liu Yuan thought for a while and went to find Ji Caimai.

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

But everyone has to eat, so he went to Xunji to buy something just to ask Master Wen if he would make midnight snacks today.

If Master Wen wants to have a late-night snack, the space in his stomach will be reserved for Master Wen's late-night snack.

Ji Caimai's door was slightly ajar. Liu Yuan knocked on the door. When he pushed the door open, he saw Ji Caimai sitting there in a daze with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Ji Caimai, what's going on?" Liu Yuan asked when he saw this.

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

"Isn't the internal affairs yamen always indifferent to things? How come there is news that it is taking care of the affairs of the yamen's public chef?" Liu Yuan said, and asked casually, "What do they want to take care of?"

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

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Which ghost came up with this idea? Are you too busy to do anything? I want to take away your purchasing work and drive you back home to farm?"

Ji Caimai said, "Caimai is responsible for counting and supervising." He pointed to the papers on the desk full of papers and said, "The rules are all listed above."

Liu Yuan only glanced at it, and felt a headache when he saw the dense words on it. He didn't look at it anymore, and turned to ask Ji Caimai: "In addition to counting and supervision, there are also a lot of rules?"

Ji Caimai nodded and said: "It is stipulated that the public kitchen cannot eat the same thing again within three days."

"That's a good thing!" Liu Yuan couldn't help sighing after hearing this, "As long as you don't cook all the dishes with the same taste like Master Sun and Master Wang, I don't think anyone will refuse such a rule."

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

"It also depends on what kind of food is delivered by the Internal Affairs Yamen," Ji Caimai rolled his eyelids and said, "In the past, if there was any trouble with the Internal Affairs Office, those who were close to me would have known about it in advance. Now suddenly, As soon as it happened, even the people in the Internal Affairs Office didn’t know what was going on and were caught off guard.”

Liu Yuan spread his hands and didn't care: "No matter what happened to him, wouldn't it be better to have less work and more time?"

Ji Cai rolled his eyes at him and asked him, "Why did you come in to see me?"

This sentence reminded Liu Yuan, and he hurriedly said: "Let's ask Master Wen if he can make midnight snacks today."

Ji Caimai pointed to one of the lines in the dense text and said: "We cannot provide things like midnight snacks."

Liu Yuan was shocked after hearing this sentence: "Which bastard made these rules?"

Ji Caimai pointed in the direction of the Internal Affairs Office and said, "That group of bastards there decided on it."

The thought of having to eat Wang Junshan's evening meal soon gave him a headache.

Because the order from the Internal Affairs Yamen came suddenly, the vegetables on Zhuangzi were also handed over to the Internal Affairs Yamen for dispatch.

Public chefs like Wen Mingtang only have to wait for the ingredients delivered by the internal affairs office every day.

"But there are bad things as well as good ones," Ji Caimai pointed to the bottom line and said, "If these bastards from the public kitchen violate too many rules, they can be removed."

This made Liu Yuan free from the pain of not being able to eat midnight snacks, and he said in surprise: "Seriously?"

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 for dinner. Liu Yuan pulled a straight face and randomly ordered a few dishes that didn't look too unpalatable. Wang Junshan, who was behind the counter, prepared the dishes and put the dishes on the table. Handed it over.

The moment he took the bowl and plate, Liu Yuan caught a glimpse of the smile on Wang Junshan's face from the corner of his eye. He frowned and said subconsciously: "Master Wang, why are you smiling? What makes you so happy?"

Wang Junshan, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, suddenly stiffened his smile and said dryly: "No...it's nothing!"

Liu Yuan responded with a roll of his eyes, and then he just heard Liu Yuan say: "Your smile always makes people feel uneasy and good-hearted!"

Wang Junshan, who had done something wrong, suddenly panicked. Just as he was about to say a few words, he saw Liu Yuan walking away with the plate.

It seems like it was just a casual comment! Wang Junshan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and murmured: "It scared me to death!"

These officials from Dali Temple are really scary sometimes.

After finishing the evening meal, Liu Yuan and Lin Fei went to see Li Ruizhi who was in prison.

"Are you asking me why I poisoned my uncle?" Before Lin Fei could speak, Li Ruizhi took the initiative and said, "My family is poor, so it would be fine if I didn't live a good life, but after seeing such a good life, , how could I go back and live a life of poverty? My uncle had adopted me long ago, but he delayed and refused to report it to the court. I was afraid that if he delayed it any longer, not only would the title be lost, but also the family wealth would be lost. After weighing the two considerations, I decided to give up the title. , keep your money.”

The reason makes sense and is 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 could the deaths of Yan San and others have something to do with you?"

After Li Ruizhi hesitated for a moment, he 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 did Zhang Zeduan's maids Huang Ying and others help cover up and push Zhang Zeduan out to be the scapegoat?"

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

Lin Fei said: "The only ones who have done evil are Duke Huai'an and Zhang Zeduan. Duke Huai'an was seriously poisoned and had only a few days to live. He was like a dead man. In the end, there was only one Zhang Zeduan left. If he is sentenced to death, If they become murderers, these people will be eliminated."

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

Lin Fei was not surprised that Li Ruizhi didn't understand. He just paused and said, "It doesn't matter, if you don't understand, someone will understand."

Li Ruizhi's expression changed slightly.
