"Please calm the Queen Mother's anger, Shopkeeper Liu is not trying to take Lin Miao's qualification, but I am afraid that my body has not recovered yet, and reluctantly participating in the competition will only be harmful." A crisp voice rang out. Everyone followed the prestige and saw a handsome little eunuch kneeling on the ground, pleading for Liu Wanfu.

When the queen mother saw her with beautiful eyebrows and a voice like a yellow warbler, she knew that she was a woman dressed as a man, and when she saw her next to Shan Xiao and Xiao Lizi, she knew that she was "damaged" by these two. is a good little girl, she wants to wear eunuch clothes to hide people's eyes, I don't know what the hell they are doing.

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly: "You are Lin Miao, right?" ”

"It's the people's daughter."

The Empress Dowager put away her smile and said with a stern expression, "Do you know that shielding bad people is cruel to good people?" Seeing that Lin Miao was stunned, her eyes were full of doubts, and the Queen Mother added, "It is not the same to be forgiving and forgiving people and being foolish." The former is black and white, and whether it should be rewarded or punished, after it is clear, we will talk about the situation. Foolishness is to confuse the public, cover up mistakes, and make bad people have a fluke mentality, so that it is possible to commit it again next time. ”

When Liu Wanfu heard this, he became even more nervous, and he didn't know how the Queen Mother wanted to punish herself. Unexpectedly, I heard the Queen Mother say, "However, it is rare for you to have this bearing, not only do you not hold a grudge against the person who owes you, but plead for him." For your sake today, the mourning family spared him this time. ”

When Liu Wanfu heard this, he was like being amnestied, and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, "Thank you Empress Dowager, thank Empress Dowager." Thank you, Miss Lin Miao. ”

The Empress Dowager turned her head and said to Liu Wanfu majestically, "However, you don't have to be punished at all. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Wanfu's heart that he had just put down was hanging again.

"You have to find a way to let Miss Lin Miao participate in the competition in the next two links. I'd like to see how she cooks. The Queen Mother smiled slightly and beckoned Lin Miao to flatten.

This made her join the finals halfway now, which is very unfair to Lin Miao, she didn't participate in the first link, and of course she didn't get votes, which will be a lot less than the other three chefs. Even if she plays extraordinarily in the last two links, it will be even more difficult to enter the top three.

However, even if it was such a clear thing to suffer, Lin Miao still gladly accepted it. She hurriedly thanked the Queen Mother, "Thank you for the Queen Mother." ”

Shan Xiao stepped forward and told the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, for the poisoning of Lin Gongzi and Miss Lin, I have sent someone to report to the Criminal Department last night and let them investigate this matter." This morning, the Criminal Department replied that the murderer had been found out, and he was the eldest apprentice of the Sanbei Chicken Shop. ”

The queen mother didn't seem to have much interest in this matter, she stroked her forehead, indicating that she was a little tired, "You did a good job, the people in the criminal department are doing things, I am quite relieved." Let them investigate this matter, and don't affect the food competition. ”

"Yes!" Shan Xiao hurriedly responded.

In the suburbs a kilometer away from Huixian Tower, there is an inconspicuous farmhouse courtyard. There is a large locust tree at the entrance of the small courtyard, and a wine flag is picked out from the locust tree with a bamboo pole. This small farm yard is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are few pedestrians, and occasionally a few passers-by will come here to rest.

The man who ran the little liquor shop was a half-hundred-year-old man who was hunched up, wearing a gray coarse cloth hat and a white towel over his shoulder. Although he is old, he is in good spirits and has a very quick response. Just when a guest officer got up, he was accidentally hooked by the bench, and when he was about to fall, the old man was quick and helped him up. The guest officer was shocked as if he had seen something incredible, after all, he was much younger than this old man, and even he did not have such a reaction speed and agility.

"Uncle, your skills are really good, you are a person who practices martial arts, right?" The guest officer asked.

"Hehe, the guest officer laughed, where did I come from as a bad old man, I just welcome and send it every day, and my eyes are better. Just before you got hooked on the bench, I could tell you were going to trip over. That's why they're one step ahead, and it's not surprising. The old man explained with a smile.

"Really?" The guest officer was skeptical, and didn't think much about it. After eating and drinking, he hurried away after settling the money for the meal.

The old man was cleaning up the table, when suddenly, a voice sounded behind him, "Boss, come with a pound of dog meat, a pound of yellow eel, and a pot of wine." ”

The old man was shocked, this person's steps were very light, and with his own skills, he didn't hear his voice approaching just now, but his voice was already sounding behind him. Moreover, the three kinds of food he ordered were all mutually restrictive, and if they ate it, they would die violently. The old man turned around and saw a man dressed in black clothes and trousers, with half a mask on his face and half a face without a mask, and he looked fierce and vicious.

"This guest officer, but you want a pound of dog meat, a pound of yellow eel, and a pot of wine?"

"Exactly!"

"Eat here, or take it away?"

"Eat here, of course." The man in black was talking, but his eyes were burning at the old man, not at all like the other guest officers. When ordering food, the average guest officer pays attention to either his own outfit or his companion, and few people look at the store so straight.

Although the old man was wary in his heart, his expression remained unchanged on the surface: "The frost in the cold mountains is overwhelming." ”

"A strip of water will not return." The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth slowly hooked up a smile. The old man's expression also softened, "Guest officer, please inside!" ”

Led by the old man, the man in black followed him into the small courtyard of the farmhouse. Passing through the wood door and entering the inner room, the old man gently played in an inconspicuous rice bowl. After only a few snorts, an open stone door suddenly revealed an open stone door.

The old man stretched out his hand and motioned for the man in black to go in first. After both of them entered the stone gate, the old man spun the mechanism inside, and the stone door was closed again.

In the middle of the stone gate, there is a hidden stone room, the furnishings are extremely simple, one stone table, eight stone benches. Candles are lit in the stone chamber, illuminating the whole room very brightly.

"In Xia Pang Kuan, haven't asked for the name of Gao yet?" The old man took the lead in clasping his fists and saluting.

"It turned out to be Master Pang Kuan, I have heard about it for a long time, and I am talking about it in Xiaguan." The man in black returned the salute.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that in our dark cooking world, there are still people who remember me as a bad old man. I don't know why you're here today? The old man waved his hand and sat down at the stone table in the room.

The man in black also sat down at the stone table, "I'm here today for Fang Minyue's business." ”

"Oh? Guangdong three-cup chicken Jia Mao's big apprentice? The old man knew at once who he was talking about.

"Exactly! He has now been arrested by the Criminal Department and accused of deliberately poisoning the ingredients and causing his life. ”
