Chapter 89 Mung Bean Cake (5)
"Fuzi is not dead. He was taken to the inn for adoption by the retired veterans." Lin Fei said calmly, "This has been confirmed by the retired veterans in Salt Lake City."
"When Hu Chengzu and Ma Sanci saw Mrs. Zhou, they remembered that Fuzi had appeared in Salt Lake City with Mrs. Zhou, so they told Fuzi that his origin might be related to your Huaishan County Prince's family."
But the Huaishan County Prince's family didn't have many descendants, not to mention that Fuzi's children had no resemblance to the Huaishan County Prince's family.
From then on, it was not difficult to think of a loyal old servant to replace him.
"What the two of them did from beginning to end was just to find Fuzi's biological parents, that's all." Lin Fei said, "The two of them had no idea about Mrs. Zhou's talks and transactions with the Japanese. Affection."
Zhao Mengzhuo glanced at the pale-faced King Huaishan: In other words, killing so many people... was actually unnecessary from the beginning.
This matter has indeed been covered up tightly by the Huaishan County Prince's family. If his family were not suspicious and jumped out to kill others, they would not have been involved in the subsequent events, let alone Lin Fei's suspicion.
It’s really unnecessary! After all, it was himself who revealed the evil deeds he had done.
Zhao Mengzhuo glanced at Lin Fei, and now recalled what Lin Fei said when he interrogated the Huaishan County Prince and his family. In addition to holding a booklet of suspected evidence in his hand, Lin Fei only asked in a leading way, "Why did the old County Prince come here?", and the rest All the truth about the incident was revealed by the Prince and his family of Huaishan County themselves.
This interrogation method... is really dangerous! If the Prince of Huaishan and his family are determined not to let go... well, judging from the suspicious nature of the Prince of Huaishan and his family, it would not be surprising to see the booklet in Lin Fei's hand and have fully imagined it in his mind, and would take the initiative to confess. .
Looking at the pale faces of the Huaishan County Prince and his family, Lin Fei paused for a moment and then said: "There is another thing. The late Emperor and the late Emperor Jing are no longer here. Although it cannot be confirmed, I think it is very likely to be true."
"The old Huaishan County King accidentally caught wind and cold, fell ill, and suddenly died suddenly." Lin Fei said, "Before his death, the late emperor and the previous Emperor Jing both visited the old Huaishan County King, and the man who diagnosed and treated the Huaishan County King back then The diagnosis and treatment for the old Huaishan County King was torn out of the medical manual of the imperial physician. I have a guess that the death of the old Huaishan County King was not that simple. He chose to die to save the lives of your family."
Of course, this matter is just speculation now and there is no direct evidence. But judging from various signs, this is very likely to be true.
In other words, the former Emperor Jing and the late emperor had already known about the old Huaishan County Prince's collusion with the Japanese. Regarding this matter, if the Huaishan County Prince and his family had received letters and threats from the Japanese and chosen to report it directly to the late Emperor, nothing would have happened later.
It’s true that the more mistakes you make, the more mistakes you make, and the more mistakes you make, the more mistakes you make. It would be better to just quit and ignore it.
If they didn't have evil intentions, why would they do this?
At present, the lives of the family personally admitted are not only those of Hu Chengzu and Ma Sanci, but also Fuzi and Team Leader Huang indirectly. In addition, the lives of the people in Salt Lake City who were affected twenty-five years ago are also counted here. On the head of the family.
As a result, this family is involved in too many human life lawsuits, and I am afraid that the summary of this case can only be done by him himself! Zhao Mengzhuo took the case file marked "Puppet Play" from Liu Yuan.
Master Zhao took the initiative to take over, which was naturally the best. Liu Yuandong and Bai Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lin Fei out of the Dali Temple prison.
The case has finally been settled now, and I can take advantage of this time to rest for a few days to recuperate my sprained foot and broken hand.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw not far ahead, A Bing, Tangyuan and Ji Caimai, each holding a plate of pastries in their hands and eating pastries with tea in the corridor.
It’s been a pretty pleasant little life!
When Liu Yuan saw this, without thinking, he waved to a few people and asked, "Is the food you are eating newly made by Master Wen?"
Ah Bing and Tang Yuan nodded, raised the pastries in their hands, and said, "Master Wen's new mung bean cake, how many adults would like to eat it?"
Mung bean cake! It’s not like I haven’t eaten it before. However, after all the hard work, I was indeed a little hungry. It was not long after lunch, and it would still be a few hours before I could eat the evening meal made by Master Wen. It would be a good idea to have two pieces to satisfy my stomach first.
A few people walked over and looked at the square mung bean cake on the plate. Master Wen didn't come up with anything new this time. The mung bean cake was similar to the one bought outside. The mold was the same one used by the public chef to make mooncakes last year. , with the four characters "Happy Flowers and Full Moon" engraved on it.
But now that they were hungry, they didn't care about this anymore. Each of them picked up a piece, and before they even brought it to their mouths, they felt a strong rush of milk mixed with an indescribable refreshing taste.
"This is..." Liu Yuan looked at the mung bean cake in his hand in surprise. It looked like nothing new on the outside, but when he was about to put it into his mouth, he realized that Master Wen was Master Wen, and there was always something unique about it.
Resisting the urge to put the mung bean cake into his mouth, Liu Yuan took the mung bean cake under his nose and smelled it, and said: "The frankincense of cow is very strong, and there is a refreshing taste in it. It tastes really good in summer. This taste... "
Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Fei, who was picking up a piece of mung bean cake opposite, said: "It's Chongqing."
Although it is only for viewing, because the smell makes people feel refreshed, there are two pots of sage in his study.
However, even though he has been dealing with this plant for many years, this is the first time he has seen someone making it into food. Lin Fei took a bite of the mung bean cake, paused for a moment, and then asked the glutinous rice balls and others who were eating the mung bean cake: " Where is Master Wen?"
Tang Yuan pointed in the direction of the palace and said: "Master Wen went to deliver mung bean cake to General Liang. This mung bean cake was what General Liang asked for."
Lin Fei nodded when he heard this, took another piece of mung bean cake, turned around and left.
Seeing the rare "eating and taking" experience at the top, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked at each other and put the mung bean cake into their mouths.
The rich frankincense and the unignorable coolness flowed from the lips and teeth to the nose. After getting used to the coolness and savoring the mung bean cake in my mouth, I realized that the pastry was sweet but not greasy, mixed with the fragrance of milk. Among them, when you take a bite, the texture is as delicate as soft sand. It is moister than ordinary powdery pastries, but drier than sticky ones. It is impartial and just right. Although mung bean cake can be seen everywhere, I have never tasted mung bean cake with this kind of texture.
Liu Yuan couldn't help but nod.
Outside the bright door, Liang Hongjin, who finally ate the mung bean cake that she had been thinking about all night yesterday, also nodded and said, "It's just the taste. I'm used to eating the mung bean cake made by you, but I can't get used to eating the ones made by others." .”
Wen Mingtang handed the pastry basket to Liang Hongjin. Seeing that the time was almost up, when he was about to go back to make the evening meal, he saw Liang Hongjin, who was eating mung bean cake, suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked not far behind her. , said: "Xiao Mingtang! It seems that someone is looking for you!"
