"That's true." Second Master Fan nodded in agreement.

"These are all Lin Miao's conjectures, Fan Er, you said that this is true, could it be that what did you investigate? Is there evidence to prove that things are what Lin Miao guessed? Guan Yan asked.

"Yes. I've been investigating secretly for so many years, and I did find a lot of evidence. Fan Er Ye said slowly.

Lin Miao's eyes widened in surprise, this was related to her life experience, and she couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"I remember that one night more than ten years ago, Chen Gong's house was very noisy, and I was still a small servant at the time. Later, however, I heard the sound of the brook, and I became nervous, so I ran in the direction of the backyard, and when I arrived, the brook was covered in blood, and she fell into my arms, and her breath was weak after all, and she only said two words to me, one was: study. Another sentence is: Give it to the dark culinary world. ”

Fan Erye said this, his expression was very painful, he seemed to have returned to that night more than ten years ago, and saw Xiaoxi lying in front of him covered in blood.

Tears poured back uncontrollably.

"Study? Why did she say the study? Could it be that at that time, the gold token was hidden in her study? Lin Miao asked curiously.

Second Master Fan shook his head, then nodded again, and said, "No, the gold token is not in the study." Although I didn't know what she was talking about at the time, I believed that there must have been something very important that she put in the study. As for her saying that she would hand it over to the dark culinary world, I also remember it deeply. ”

"For that. Lin Miao didn't dare to agree, and she didn't squeak.

"I still held her after the stream died. Then he was surrounded by the people who had come up to him. At that time, the only master who appeared was Chen Jinyue, and he looked at me coldly and said: Did she give you anything? What did she say before she died? ”

Fan Erye didn't say a word, he was very tormented by himself. He was very reluctant to recall the scene of that night.

Lin Miao and Guan Yan. can understand his mood, so, at this time. I just listened quietly, and didn't ask any questions, just hoping that he would finish quickly.

"I said, of course, I don't know anything. Nothing was gained either. Chen Jinyue didn't believe it at all. He ordered me to be tied up and searched all over my body, but I found nothing. Then, I was tortured and told to confess what Xiaoxi had said to me before he died. However, I gritted my teeth and said nothing. In the end, they kicked me out of the Chen Mansion. Let me never return to Chen Gongfu. ”

"After leaving Duke Chen's Mansion, I asked around about the whereabouts of the Dark Cuisine Realm. Finally, I found it. I also learned the news of the Cold Moon Knife from their mouths, and I knew why Xiaoxi sneaked into Duke Chen's mansion. Therefore, I took the 'catalytic pill' given to me by the dark culinary world to make my face age early, and then, I worked hard to practice my cooking skills and let myself re-enter the dark culinary world as a chef. ”

Lin Miao raised her eyes and looked at Second Master Fan silently, she knew that over the years, he had suffered.

"After entering the Chen Gong's Mansion, I secretly began to investigate. I found a sword in Chen Youzong's bedroom, and the edge of the sword was very consistent with the wound on Xiaoxi's body back then. I once thought that Chen Youzong was the murderer of Xiaoxi back then. However, I later found out that Chen Youzong was a left-hander, and it was impossible for him to kill Xiaoxi, because the wound on Xiaoxi's body was obviously stabbed into it with his right hand. ”

Lin Miao thought about it carefully, and did remember that Chen Youzong was left-handed.

"At the time of Xiaoxi's murder, Chen Youze had already been deprived of his knees, and for a while, he was very depressed, and often used alcohol to kill his sorrows, and that night, he was drunk. Therefore, Chen Youze cannot be a murderer. ”

Lin Miao and Guan Yan both nodded.

"Ruled out like this, in Gong Chen's mansion, the only people who are likely to do it are Chen Jinyue and Liu Yuchan." Fan Erye said.

"But," Lin Miao frowned, "What if it's not the master of Duke Chen's Mansion and does it directly?" They can find someone else to do it. ”

Second Master Fan shook his head, while Guan Yan looked at Second Master Fan puzzled, not knowing why he was so sure.

"Impossible, this matter, the master of Gong Chen's Mansion, it is impossible to fake the hands of others. Even the old lady Zhang Shuru has no possibility of touching this matter. Because, the Cold Moon Knife is an artifact, and it is impossible for them to be accessed by outsiders. ”

Lin Miao thought about it and nodded in agreement with his statement.

Second Master Fan turned his head to look at Lin Miao, "It is precisely because of you that I ruled out Liu Yuchan's suspicion." ”

Lin Miao's eyes flashed, and then, she understood, "Because, that night, Liu Yuchan was doing another thing, she sent someone, perhaps, herself, to kidnap me from King Lin's Mansion, and then handed it over to Xue Yunfen and took me out of Duke Chen's Mansion." ”

"Yes. Therefore, she simply did not have the time and energy to kill the creek. Fan Er Ye nodded and said.

"Perhaps, Fang Xiaoxi was killed because Chen Jinyue discovered it when she stole the gold token, so he poisoned her." Guan Yan said.

As soon as he said this, Lin Miao and Fan Erye both looked at him with contemptuous eyes.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? "Guan Yan is a little unclear.

"Is it obvious that you don't realize it now?" Lin Miao frowned and looked at Guan Yan, she was very worried about his IQ.

Guan Yan was silent and continued to act as his listener.

"However, how could Chen Jinyue's murder weapon be in Chen Youzong's bedroom?" Lin Miao muttered to herself a little puzzled.

"That's something I didn't figure out. Chen Jinyue, it is impossible to blame his son, he may not be afraid of this matter at all, so he did not think about destroying the murder weapon. Fan Erye said.

Lin Miao nodded, "It's possible, after all, this happened in Duke Chen's mansion, and he died just a maid, he definitely didn't take this matter to heart." ”

"So. There is no need to dwell on why this sword arrived in Chen Youzong's bedroom, because. They were originally a family, a nest of snakes and rats. Fan Erye gritted his teeth and said.

Lin Miao looked at him with some concern, and then asked, "Grandpa Fan, since you already know the murderer, it is Chen Jinyue, why, for so many years." You haven't even taken revenge? ”

Second Master Fan sighed, "I don't want to kill him with one sword, but he has been practicing martial arts for many years." I'm not his opponent, and there are many eyes and ears in the house, and I don't have a chance to do it. Originally, I figured out that guò food was poisoned. But. Because of her stinky temper, she offended Liu Yuchan, and she transferred me to Liu Gui's subordinates, who were only responsible for cooking for her subordinates, and had no chance to do it at all. ”

Lin Miao was a little speechless, since the goal is clear, there are many ways to kill him.

"Later. Let me find an opportunity, I thought. I finally found a way to deal with Chen Jinyue. Fan Er Ye said suddenly.

"What chance?"

"I found out about Liu Yuchan's adultery, and used it to blackmail her and ask her to arrange for me to be the head chef." Fan Erye said.

Lin Miao's eyes widened in disbelief, "What! You mean, the eldest grandmother Liu Yuchan, has a rape | With whom? ”

Guan Yan was also very interested in this kind of peachy news, and his body also leaned forward, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Second Master Fan knew that this was a bombshell, he looked at Lin Miao with a smile and said, "Do you remember that you were defeated under Duke Chen's mansion?" ”

Lin Miao was slightly stunned and searched in her mind, and suddenly, her eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Grandpa Fan, you mean that person is Xia Fangcun?" ”

Second Master Fan smiled and nodded, "It's this person." ”

Lin Miao couldn't help but cover her mouth, "Won't it?" When did they start? ”

Fan Erye shook his head, "I don't know when they started, but, I guess, it should be from Chen Youzong replacing Chen Jinyue and becoming a general in the court." ”

"Why?" Lin Miao was puzzled.

"Because, since Chen Youzong became a general, he often left home, went out to fight, and was often not at home this year. And it was also from that time that Xia Fangcun changed from an inconspicuous little guy to the head chef of the back kitchen step by step, and once boasted of being the best chef in Duke Chen's mansion. ”

Lin Miao thought back to Xia Fangcun's cooking skills, and couldn't help but smile and said, "If you want to talk about his cooking skills, it's really not very good, it turns out that it was through guò nepotism that climbed to the position of chef." ”

Second Master Fan nodded. continued, "Ever since you were defeated in the Food Contest in Duke Chen's Mansion, hasn't Xia Fangcun disappeared. ”

Lin Miao nodded, "Yes, I haven't seen him since then." Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, and asked in surprise, "Could it be because of this that Liu Yuchan hates me even more?" ”

"Haha!" Second Master Fan laughed and said, "It's possible." Still, it shouldn't be. Because, Xia Fangcun disappeared without a trace on the surface, but in fact, he was arranged by Liu Yuchan to Liu Qiaoyue's house, or continued to be his chef. ”

"I see," Lin Miao muttered.

Guan Yan asked curiously, "Fan Er, then how did you find out that there was an adulterous relationship between the two of them?" Could it be that you caught the rape in bed? ”

Fan Erye glanced at him, "What do you think?" How could I be caught in bed, I don't have that qualifications and rights. ”

"That" Guan Yan is even more incomprehensible.

"Once, they had a tryst behind a rockery in the back garden, and I bumped into it." Fan Erye said.

When Lin Miao and Guan Yan heard this, their mouths opened into an O-shape.

This is too exaggerated, trysts are not avoided.

"Okay, let's not talk about the two of them, anyway, I just caught Liu Yuchan's handle and became the head of the kitchen of Gong Chen's mansion. I thought that this was my chance, I could poison Chen Jinyue by poisoning the food, but I didn't expect it" Speaking of this, Fan Erye's face showed an expression of chagrin.

Lin Miao sneered, "You didn't expect that before Chen Jinyue ate, he had to try whether the food was poisonous or not, right?" ”

Second Master Fan was surprised, thought about it, and then was relieved. By the way, Lin Miao is also the daughter of the palace now, maybe, these masters have such a habit, and the heart of defense is indispensable, every time before eating, they will use silver chopsticks, or let the maid try the dishes.

"So, this road is also blocked, and I haven't thought of a good way to deal with him until now." Fan Erye said dejectedly.

Guan Yan laughed, "Your efficiency is too low, kill someone, why do you need to be so troublesome." If you want to be unaware, you're going to be scared and don't know what to do. If you want me to say, sneak into his room at night and hack him to death. If it didn't work, he set a fire and burned his whole family to death. ”

When Guan Yan said this, the expression on his face was hideous, which made people shudder.

Second Master Fan looked at him blankly, thought about it, and then shook his head, "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, how can you hurt the innocent?" ”

Guan Yan glared at him with hatred, and just wanted to continue educating him, but was interrupted by Lin Miao, "Yes, if you hurt the innocent, you shouldn't be." ”

Then, she whispered to Fan Erye, "Grandpa Fan, in fact, there are many ways to put him to death. I heard that Chen Jinyue, when he was young, deducted a lot of tribute, and even the Cold Moon Knife was deducted by him. We can use guò to borrow the emperor's hand and kill him. ”

"Is it possible? He deducted tribute, and it wasn't a day or two, for so many years, the emperor didn't do anything to him, how could he suddenly turn over old accounts? Fan Erye doesn't have much hope for this method.

"Why is it impossible, now the times have changed, and it is not what it used to be. Back then, the emperor was afraid of him because he had the Cold Moon Knife in his hand, and he could gallop on the battlefield and be invincible. The emperor needs to rely on him to stabilize the country. But now? Now Chen Jinyue no longer has the Cold Moon Knife, he is just an old man with a sixtieth birthday. Lin Miao analyzed rationally.

Fan Erye and Guan Yan were both stunned by her.

That's right, Chen Jinyue now doesn't have the Cold Moon Knife, and he can't turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain like he did back then.

This can also explain why Chen Jinyue took the initiative to retire and leave the government and the opposition after he found out that he had lost the Cold Moon Knife. He was worried that he didn't have the Cold Moon Knife in his hand, and once it was known to others, it would be time for him to return the hatred he had accumulated over the years.

"I think what Lin Miao said is very reasonable. However, how should the emperor borrow the hand to get rid of Chen Jinyue? Guan Yan also nodded in agreement.

Lin Miao pondered for a moment, and then said, "I don't know either, but first, we should let out the wind and let the emperor know that there is no Cold Moon Knife in Chen Jinyue's hand." ”

"That's right! This is a good way to make waves together without wind and waves. Guan Yan slapped his thigh and said excitedly. (To be continued......)
