Mengmei found her hairpin, and the maid under Gu Jing finally shut up, although she still mocked her for her good luck, the hairpin fell in the white house, and she returned it in person regardless of her previous suspicions. [Full text reading]

And Mengmei, who already has Bai Ko's assurance, turned a deaf ear to these ridicules, stayed in the small kitchen and concentrated on practicing the new dim sum, anyway, it was only the last few days in this courtyard, and if she didn't quarrel with them, those subordinates only thought that she was consciously at a loss, not to mention that they were stingy after chasing after and scolding endlessly for this matter.

After the guards retrieved Mengmei's hairpin, they then took the opportunity to follow Shizi out and secretly left a small group of people to visit Lin Leren.

Gu Yun thinks that if this matter is really related to the imperial kitchen, Wang Xiaodong should not be so stupid to give orders to outsiders in person, maybe there is also a middle pass of his cronies, even if he wants to give him up to protect Shao Yiping, it will not be too obvious, otherwise Wang Xiaodong himself can detect that he has become an abandoned son and has been the head of the imperial kitchen for so many years, he should have this brain.

Because the address was clear, the guards easily found Lin Leren's house, and it happened that a group of people outside his house asked him to go out for a drink, and after a while, that Lin Leren came out of the house, looking quite good, thirty or forty years old, with a long-term drunken complexion on his face, so he quietly followed and eavesdropped on their conversation.

During the afternoon break, Wen Gushan went out to the inn as usual to find his two brothers to drink together, but was stopped by Xiao Er, and the innkeeper told Wen Gushan according to the words of the guards yesterday that his two buddies checked out early this morning and left, saying that there was something at home and would come back in a few days.

Wen Gushan was a little anxious at first when he heard this, but then he thought that it was still the Chinese New Year, and the two of them had been in this inn for a few days, and they should go home to see, anyway, he had their address, if he didn't come back for a long time, it would be a big deal for him to find it himself.

Thinking of this, Wen Gushan relaxed again and went shopping and drinking by himself.

Gu Yun stepped on the time to close the door and returned home, brought back the information about the visit to Lin Leren, and heard Bai Ko talk about Mengmei's side, and also felt that it was just a good opportunity to ask Gu Jing for help, and it was a big deal to buy a new cook to exchange with him.

Now that the matter at Mengmei's end has been resolved, Gu Yun asked Bai Ko to go to the ear room to talk and share with her the information about Lin Leren that the guards had found.

It's really not hard to investigate Lin Leren, he's a greedy guy, as long as he invites him to a good drink, he can even tell the things of his ancestors for the eighteenth generation, so he asked him if he does have an uncle named He Jie, who is a chef over the years, he has earned a lot of oil and water with this He Jie, and the family eats and drinks well, and the scenery is happy every day.

When Bai Qiao heard this, she went back to her house and brought the interpersonal relationship of Wang Xiaodong, who asked her uncle Tang Lin to investigate on her behalf last year.

This guy is not only Wang Xiaodong's cronies, the two are also sons and daughters, and the daughter of the Wang family married the He family.

With this in-law relationship, Wen Gushan's matter, Wang Xiaodong's accusation of instigating it behind him can't be relied upon, even if it is indeed not his order, he can be detained.

"People are connected, but it is too difficult to prove that He Jie instructed Lin Leren, with the relationship between the two of them, if Lin Leren insists that he is the one who makes the decision on his own, just to make you some trouble, and make He Jie and Wang Xiaodong angry, we will not take him seriously." After Gu Yun figured out the relationship between the characters, he threw down the paper in his hand, leaned on the table and sighed.

"Isn't that Lin Leren greedy for alcohol? Does he really have such righteousness to carry the black pot for others? If you don't carry it, he is at most a middleman, as long as he makes meritorious contributions, he can let it go after eating a board and paying a fine, but once he carries this pot and squats in prison for a year or two, he has done a lot of things for He Jie, and he must know a lot of interesting insiders. ”

"Are you so interested in Wang Xiaodong's inside story?"

"During the winter hunt, the sage said that the family heirloom recipes accumulated by the Bai family for several generations disappeared from the warehouse, not to mention how the copied products disappeared from the warehouse, just talk about this Bai recipe, who is most likely to be interested in this thing?"

"Huh?!"

"Actually, the maid has long known about the loss of Bai's recipes, there are a few copies in the house, and the eldest lady got it, and it is already in the hands of the maid."

"Hey, how many secrets did you hide that you didn't tell me?"

"How can this be called a secret? The fact that there has always been a zài, but you don't know it. Bai Ko smirked as he stepped back to the side without a trace.

"Wait a minute, don't go off-topic, go back to your recipe and Wang Xiaodong." Gu Yun sat up straight suddenly, grabbed Bai Ko's hand and pulled her into his arms, "You Bai family's hereditary imperial chef, the most interested in this recipe should be the imperial chef first, maybe this collusion with Wen Gushan to steal your private recipe is really Wang Xiaodong's private instructions, and by the way, I can also make you some trouble and take revenge on you for helping the crown princess." ”

"Whether it's or not, it's just to denounce him anyway, He Jie and Lin Leren are connected, he, the head chef, is not only He Jie's boss, but also his in-laws, and it is inevitable that he will be called to the hall by the government."

"Sue again? A lawsuit just ended a few years ago. ”

"Then why don't you borrow the guards and sneak into the Wang family to find out if there are any Bai recipes?"

"Found it?"

"If you find it, you will naturally have more reason to denounce him, it is stolen goods, as the head chef of the Seven Grades Imperial Kitchen, he dares to collect the stolen goods, confiscate them all, and return them to the original owner."

"Hey, you just said that it was a missing confiscated item, and you still want to return it to its original owner? Have my guards steal it out for you? ”

"The saint granted it." Bai Ko nodded vigorously with a thoughtful look, looking innocent, "I don't believe you go ask him." ”

Gu Yun was a little dizzy, and hugged Bai Ko a little closer, and the tips of their noses were on the tip of their noses.

"What secret agreement did you make with the saint during the winter hunt last year?"

"This is the grace of God, envy, envy is useless, not to mention not worthy of envy, who has nothing to envy this kind of grace, right?"

"Everybody is envious, if it gets out."

"Huh?!"

"The whole family is exiled, and the child left behind by you still has the grace to take care of you, who doesn't envy it? Originally, there were only two ways to stay in the palace or send it to the teaching workshop, but you have one more, and go to the cooking workshop that no one wants to get, and for this alone, we powerful families, I guarantee that everyone will be very envious. ”

"Instead of envying this kind of thing, it is better to pray for peace and safety and no accidents."

"Accidental mistakes or being affected by others, there are always unexpected bad things happening, at this time, if the family can have a way out, even if it is an official slave, it is acceptable. Isn't your home a living example? Gu Yun lightly picked Bai Ko's chin and pecked it.

Bai Ko raised his hand and pushed Gu Yun's face away.

Gu Yun chuckled lightly twice, and gently adjusted Bai Ko's posture, or hugged him, which was more conducive to him eating tofu.

"Then in the name of checking the stolen goods, I will send guards to sneak into Wang Xiaodong's house to find it, whether you can find it or not, there is always a result."

"Hmm."
