Chapter 64 Hand-Kneaded Ice Powder

What would a gambler who is short of money do?

Why did Team Leader Huang suddenly set up a stage for Fuzi a few days ago to help him sing after he kicked him out last year?

"This person named Huang must have discovered and known something," Liu Yuan said. "For people like him, if they can't get any benefit from Fuzi, how can they inexplicably set up a stage for him?"

Bai Zhu frowned: "Then what exactly did he find? What was he trying to do by setting up a stage?"

"He is a gambler who is short of money. There is no chance that this kind of person will threaten secrets for money." Liu Yuan thought for a while and said, "There have been many cases like this in the past."

Speaking of this, Liu Yuan couldn't help but said: "In the cases that I have handled, most of the people who try to exchange secrets for money have been silenced by the other party!"

Bai Zhu glanced at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan spread his hand, pointed at Team Leader Huang who was covered to death, and said, "Am I wrong?"

Bai Zhu: "..."

It's... quite right.

No one would believe a blackmailer who keeps saying that he will stop after receiving money. The best person to keep secrets is always a dead person. The first reaction of the blackmailed person when facing the threat of such a person is naturally to silence him.

"So the question still turns to Fuzi, what secret is hidden behind his orphan, and who is Team Leader Huang running to threaten?" Bai Zhu said.

Lin Fei nodded, looked around, and went downstairs.

After Bai Zhu and Liu Yuan watched the corpse of Team Leader Huang for a while and made sure that there were no clues about the murderer, the two of them followed downstairs and walked to the door of the Changshou Theater Troupe. They only saw Zhao You but not Lin Fei.

"Where is Lin Shaoqing?" Bai Zhu asked Zhao You.

Zhao You pointed in the direction of Zhuquefang and said, "Mrs. Marquis Jingyun sent someone to see you. She said it was urgent, so Lin Shaoqing asked for leave and left." After that, he waved the leave note in his hand.

Bai Zhu: "..."

Liu Yuan: "..."

Lin Shaoqing is pretty disciplined!

But now that Lin Shaoqing is gone, there is only one thing they have to do today.

"Go to the inn outside the city and ask if Fuzi can read, and see if there are any clues at the inn." Bai Zhu looked at the sun that was almost climbing over his head, and held the file above his head to cover the sun. Arrive, "It's almost noon, let's eat at the snack shop outside!"

Did he brave the sun and go to Dali Temple just to eat Master Sun's terrible lunch? If it was Master Wen who came to do it, he would be happy to make this trip.

Master Sun, who was crossing his legs behind the counter, suddenly sneezed for no reason.

The few servants who were frowning at the dishes on the table immediately changed their expressions when they saw this, and looked at the sneezing Master Sun angrily: "Sun Dingren, how can you ask people to eat like this?"

When Master Sun heard this, he looked embarrassed, but he still said bravely: "It's just a sneeze, what does it count? I'm not sick!"

This sentence caused several guards to change their expressions immediately. Someone rolled up his sleeves, pointed directly at Master Sun's nose, and said, "Say it again and try it!"

Seeing the other party's big and thick appearance, Master Sun shrank, a little scared after all. But at this time, faced with such a situation, it was really hard to get off the stage.

While the two sides were in a stalemate, Ji Cai came over and when he saw this situation, he immediately went out and smoothed things over.

"Okay! Just stop saying a few words! Next time when Master Wen makes breakfast, come and get an extra portion!" Ji Caimai said to the rich and powerful servant.

The officer's expression softened a little, and he looked at Ji Cai and said, "That's just to buy Master Tong Wen's face for Ji Cai!" After saying that, he cut out Master Sun's eyes fiercely and left.

After the officer left, Ji Caimai looked at Master Sun, who looked frightened, and said calmly: "Be careful next time!"

Master Sun couldn't help but be startled after hearing this sentence: He thought Ji Caimai was going to scold him, but he didn't know he was so kind and cheerful!

After Ji Caimai told him to "be careful", he lowered his head and looked at the dishes that Master Sun put on the table. His eyes scanned the dishes one by one. After a moment of pause, Ji Caimai turned around and left the public kitchen with his hands behind his back. He went back to his room, took out a book, made a few notes on it, and placed the book under the inkstone.

The weather is getting hotter.

Wen Mingtang poured out the prepared lime water, wrapped the ice powder seeds in gauze, placed them in cool boiling water and began to rub them.

Ah Bing and Tangyuan looked at her movements curiously, and began to look forward to the snack called "hand-made ice powder" that they would be able to eat soon.

When the kneading was almost done, he slowly poured the prepared lime water along the edge. After stirring evenly, Wen Mingtang put the ice powder bowl aside, half-lying down on the rattan recliner, waving a fan in his hand and chatting with Ah Bing. Chatting with glutinous rice balls.

"The wealth in the palace belongs to your Majesty and the empress, not us." Wen Mingtang said, "Everyone works the same way. Not only do they have many rules, but there are also many intrigues."

When she turned into the eight-year-old girl, the girl staggered and fell into the laundry pool while holding the clothes she had washed for the nobleman. Then...then she came, opening her eyes. At that moment, she felt like her whole body was sinking like lead. Her survival instinct made her swim to the shore and save her life.

Ji Caimai and the others were careful not to mention the Wen family's affairs, so as not to irritate her. However, the two half-year-old children, A Bing and Tang Yuan, seemed to understand and didn't know much.

"I also entered the palace with a clan sister." Wen Mingtang closed his eyes, and the memories of the original owner's childhood emerged in his mind. "She is one year older than me, and she is the most flirtatious at home. She secretly does it for herself without telling her aunt. She was dyed brightly with Fengxian Dankou and was scolded by her aunt. On weekdays, she would cry for a long time even if she kicked a stone on the road and sprained her foot. She was born very well, although she was still young at the time. I can already imagine what it will be like in the future.”

It was a peony that grew up in a gentle and prosperous land, but before it could grow, it was filled with people in the garden. But perhaps judging from the situation of the Wen family, if they really grow up and join the teachings, they will encounter more trials and tribulations.

But peonies are just peonies, how can they withstand the hardships of Yeting. After Wen Mingtang came back from swimming in the water, he developed a high fever, and was bullied overtly and covertly by the maids of Yeting. It was only when he finally stood firm because he saved Zhao Sishan's life that he remembered the peony-like figure. Clan sister.

When I started asking around, the brand of the clan sister had already been withdrawn.

In the palace, there is only one situation where the sign will be removed, and that is if the people are gone.

It's not that Wen Mingtang never thought of asking about the specific situation, he even begged Zhao Sishan. Zhao Sishan only tried it briefly and was scolded. From this, the two of them understood: they should not inquire about the clan sister's affairs.

Thinking that the peony-like girl might have withered in the unknown darkness, Wen Mingtang was not without regret.

But...she herself is behind bars, and there is really very little she can do.

It’s important to survive first!

After hearing what happened to Sister Wen Mingtang, Ah Bing and Tang Yuan turned pale: they ran in and out of Dali Temple every day, and the biggest villains they encountered were Master Sun and Master Wang. Unexpectedly, such a thing still exists, which is really scary.

Wen Mingtang looked at their pale faces, smiled and rubbed their heads to comfort them, then stood up and said, "It's time to eat ice powder!"
