Chapter 86 Mung Bean Cake (2)

The sky was getting brighter. Wen Mingtang, who had turned a page in the book, yawned, rubbed his tired eyes, walked to Liang Hongjin, who was dozing in the corner, handed a booklet in his hand to Liang Hongjin, and said : "Lin Shaoqing will be here in a while, please hand this booklet to him."

Liang Hongjin, who had not yet fully woken up from her sleep, yawned and muttered while half asleep: "Why don't you leave it to him yourself?"

Wen Mingtang stuffed the book into Liang Hongjin's arms, looked at the fish-belly-white sky, and said, "I'm going back to make breakfast."

How could a qualified public chef forget such things?

Liang Hongjin: "..."

With sleepy eyes, she closed the book in her arms and waved her hand towards Wen Mingtang. Upon seeing this, Wen Mingtang turned and left.

…

When Dali Temple Qing Zhao Mengzhuo, who was dragged out of bed by his wife early in the morning, rushed to the entrance of Third Street and Nine Alleys, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

He didn't bother to hold up the official hat that was already crooked on his head. He looked at the smooth ground that used to be shattered into a mess. The corpses of dead soldiers shot like hedgehogs could be seen everywhere. There was also a dilapidated corpse in the corner of the wall. The car plate is nailed with iron plates.

Zhao Mengzhuo almost fainted after seeing it.

The police officer who had come early to investigate the scene ran out of the alley and ran towards this side.

Zhao Mengzhuo had a white face and stopped the guard before he could speak. He said, "Don't say anything else. Tell me the result first. Are Lin Fei, Liu Yuan and the others okay?"

"Lin Shaoqing is fine!" the guard said.

Zhao Mengzhuo breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, but before he could finish his sigh of relief, he heard the servant say again: "Liu Sicheng and Bai Sicheng have something to do..."

Zhao Mengzhuo's expression suddenly changed.

…

…

When they were brought to Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu who were sitting on the stretcher, Zhao Mengzhuo, who was originally pale, turned green when he saw them. He turned back, pointed at the two people, and asked the officer expressionlessly: "What's going on?" What's it called?"

The officer pointed at Liu Yuan and said, "Liu Sicheng sprained his feet while running so fast." He paused, then pointed to Bai Zhu aside and said, "Liu Sicheng sprained his feet and fell down, hitting Bai Sicheng's Hand, Bai Si Cheng’s arm is broken.”

Zhao Mengzhuo: "..."

Glancing at the two people sitting on the stretcher, Zhao Mengzhuo looked around and searched around, but could not find the figure that he should have seen at first sight, so he turned around and asked the guard next to him, "Where is Lin Shaoqing? "

The officer said: "Lin Shaoqing has entered the palace to meet the saint."

Yesterday, without evidence, he could not enter the palace to meet the saint. But today, if there is no evidence, the murder on the street was true, so he could naturally enter the palace to meet the saint.

Naturally, entering the palace had nothing to do with Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who had injured their feet and hands. After the aftermath was dealt with, they were carried into Dali Temple, and their bellies that were growling "gurgling" were touched, and the two of them realized that they had forgotten about today. Something happened.

I haven’t had anything to eat in the morning today!

But it was already past the morning meal time, and Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu were greatly disappointed. Next came Master Sun's lunch, which really didn't make people look forward to it.

After returning to Dali Temple and finishing the morning meal, Wen Mingtang explained to A Bing and Tangyuan and went back to catch up on his sleep.

Wen Mingtang didn't get up until the last minute of his sleep, washed his face with cold water, walked to the public kitchen, and started making the mung bean cake that Liang Hongjin had made yesterday.

The peeled mung beans that Ah Bing and Tang Yuan helped soak last night have been soaked enough and put into the pot to steam. While the mung beans were steaming, Wen Mingtang began to prepare the ingredients for the mung bean cake: milk, honey, and Liang Hongjin’s favorite mint, which is called Xiangyu in Da Rong.

Abing and glutinous rice balls obviously recognized this thing called wormwood. Seeing that Wen Mingtang had prepared this thing, they couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Can this wormwood be eaten?" Isn't it just for viewing?

Wen Mingtang said "hmm" and said, "It's edible, and it's refreshing in the mouth. If you like it, you will especially like it. You two can try it later." Liang Hongjin especially loved this refreshing taste.

The two of them said "Oh" and continued to watch Wen Mingtang making mung bean cake.

…

While Wen Mingtang was making mung bean cake, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu followed Lin Fei to see the Huaishan County Prince and his family who were brought to Dali Temple for questioning.

There was such a big commotion yesterday. Although no one was damaged in Dali Temple, almost all the dead soldiers raised by the Huaishan County Prince's family were lost.

After Lin Fei reported this matter to His Majesty, the Huaishan County Prince and his family were brought to Dali Temple for questioning.

When the matter became so big, Zhao Mengzhuo rushed over and asked Lin Fei: "Do you want me to interrogate you personally?"

Lin Fei looked at Zhao Mengzhuo who was coming over and said, "This case... Your Excellency, you haven't followed it before!"

Zhao Mengzhuo: "..."

It is not an easy task to interrogate such cunning and well-protected murderers as the Huaishan County Prince and his family, and Zhao Mengzhuolai, who does not understand the case suddenly, may not be able to handle it.

"I'll just come." Lin Fei declined Zhao Mengzhuo's kindness, paused, and then said, "My lord, just listen."

After all, the Huaishan County Prince's family has a special status. When the case is settled, Zhao Mengzhuo will have to come forward to close the case.

Zhao Mengzhuo: "...That's fine!"

If he had known early on that this case would involve relatives of the emperor, he would have come to take it over. Now that his subordinates have taken over, it is still necessary to keep things under control.

After the group of people entered the prison, Li Zhao stood up and spoke first: "There must be some misunderstanding about this matter. I only knew about the attack on everyone in Dali Temple yesterday, and I didn't know anything about it. "

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan, who was following behind, rolled his eyes and looked at Li Zhao who stood up with a gentle look on his face: He usually looked at that gentle and polite face, but now he looked really hypocritical and shameless. .

Obviously, it was not until this moment that Li Zhao and others realized that Li Yuan, who rushed to question him yesterday, had been tricked by Lin Fei. If Lin Fei really had evidence, why would he use harsh words to Li Yuan? Go to the palace early!

Yesterday, it was true that something happened suddenly, and they were really guilty. In desperation, they immediately called for the dead man.

But what is a death warrior? They were raised to do things they couldn't do on their behalf. Now that the dead soldiers are dead, who can prove that these dead soldiers are from the Huaishan County Prince's Palace? Even if someone has seen these dead soldiers, they can argue that they were bribed or something.

Even if the people in Dali Temple don't believe this, they can't do anything to them without evidence.

Lin Fei was not surprised by Li Zhao's family's defense, nor did he argue with Li Zhao who the group of dead soldiers were from yesterday. He just paused and said: "We can tell the truth about that incident twenty-five years ago. Already known."

Zhao Mengzhuo, who was on the side, glanced at everyone present. His eyes fell on the faces of Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who also had blank expressions. After a pause, he thought to himself: It's not us, it's me. I'm afraid Lin Fei is the only one who knows the truth!

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhao's face froze, as if an invisible hole was torn from the gentle and polite mask.
