Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 200 is Chapter 9
Lin Kun, the Qing of Dali Temple, died in the Qianyuan Palace Change, and Shaoqing Mu Jin took leave from the court for many days because of the sacrifice of his only son. Now the one who is really in charge of Dali Temple is Shen Qianji, who has just been promoted by King Xiang, and his official rank is Dali Temple.
Shen Qianji stood in front of the prison gate of Dali Temple, and always felt that this prison was not oppressive enough, and it could not make people feel frightened, which was not conducive to the prestige of Dali Temple. The predecessors Lin Kun and Mu Jin were still too civilized, and Shen Qianji intended to rectify the prison life.
At this time, the main prisoner in the small prison was the key figure in the Qianyuan Palace Revolution - Zhou Xunliang, today Shen Qianji no longer intends to interrogate this half-dead person, he is secretly glad that he did not submit Zhou Xunliang's confession, after all, there is an opportunity to expand the credit now.
In the innermost three cells separated from each other are Fat Kui, Du Shaoyin, and Xuan Shaoning. Shen Qianji had already thought of a countermeasure when he stood at the end of the aisle, "It is said that Qingshan Academy is arrogant, but I really want to see it!" ”
What a pity! Shen Qianji regretted it in his heart, and then he said to the jailer: "Interrogate Xu Kui!" ”
Fat Kui has been locked up in this cell for two days, and he is not interrogated every day, and he is served with good wine and food every day, which really surprises him. When he saw that Du Shaoyin and Xuan Shaoning were also imprisoned, the imagination that had appeared in his mind immediately disappeared, and he knew that this time he was a catastrophe.
But each cell in this prison is separated from each other and has a different orientation, for example, the cell where Fat Kui is located, it is facing due south, and in front of it is a wall, even if you lie on the iron door and look at it, all you can see is a long wall. Yesterday, Fat Kui only saw Du Shaoyin and Xuan Shaoning being escorted through the road in front of him, but he didn't know where they were finally detained.
After two days in a dark cell, the fat man was on the verge of patience, and the feeling of inactivity and anxiety deepened in waiting was a double torture of mind and body, no wonder countless heroes would shout "Give me a refreshing way to die!" At this time, Fat Kui also wanted to shout like this.
With an uproar, the iron door opened, and Fat Kui saw the two jailers enter, and without saying a word, he picked himself up and walked outside. originally wanted to show a little heroism, but at this time, Fat Kui still softened, he really couldn't shout, even if it was a refreshing knife, it hurt!
Standing at the end of the corridor was Shen Qianji, as soon as he saw Fat Kui, he immediately showed a smile, and his words were kind: "Master Xu, I also heard that your cooking skills are also the best in the whole Liang, and today I just want to try Master Xu's skills." ”
What's that? Try my hand? Did you hear that right? The fat man's legs came to strength, and he no longer relied on the jailer but tried to stand up straight, he wanted to ask, after all, the young man in front of him was handsome, and he spoke so politely, and he didn't have the fierce and vicious appearance he imagined.
"Master Xu, please come with me!"
Shen Qianji led the way in front, and Fat Kui was escorted out of the prison and into the back kitchen of Dali Temple. Dali Temple has always been set up with a back kitchen, to provide meals for the ministers and officials on duty, in order to give Fat Kui a chance to perform today, Shen Qianji has ordered someone to clean up the kitchen in advance.
When Fat Kui walked into the back kitchen, he saw the place he was most familiar with, even though the furnishings in each dining room were different, but as long as Fat Kui smelled it, the muscles of his whole body immediately became active.
"Master Xu, I have already prepared all the ingredients I need, I heard that your white case skills are perfect, what I want to taste today is your white case. The list of dim sum you need to make is on the table, and I'll give you two hours, and I'm going to taste your craft at dinner! ”
After Shen Qianji finished speaking, he left, leaving only two jailers to guard the door. Such a form of arraignment also refreshed Fat Kui's understanding of the justice of the Criminal Department, or rather, this person will not want to satisfy his hunger and use his public office for private purposes?
Fat Kui can't think about it so much, after all, time is limited. When he picked up the piece of rice paper on which the name of the snack was written, the memory in his mind came alive again. The number of dim sum is not much, but each one was once made by Fat Kui for Emperor Liang, and someone should have selected those with a slightly simpler production process.
"What does he want to do? Do you want to taste what the emperor has eaten? Fat Kui vaguely felt that something was unusual, but as soon as he looked out of the door, the jailer immediately shouted, "There is not much time, it can't be finished, you have to bear it!" ”
Get out! Fat Kui immediately started and successfully completed the production of all the dim sum within the specified time, and when these steaming dim sum were brought to Shen Qianji, he was also attracted.
"This craftsmanship is really high, no wonder even the emperor likes it!"
As soon as the jailer saw Shen Qianji's performance, he immediately wanted to curry favor, "This has just come out, and the small one has been brought over, and it is still hot!" Why don't you try it while it's hot? ”
Shen Qianji smiled and praised: "Prison head, you really have a heart!" But do you think I let the prisoners make snacks to satisfy themselves? I see you're also swallowing saliva, otherwise if you're not afraid of death, you can taste a piece of every snack! ”
When the prison head heard this, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Lord Shen, the little one knows that he is wrong!" Lord Shen, spare the little ones! ”
"Okay, all the snacks are packed and sent to the hospital immediately!"
"Yes, the little ones are going!"
"Wait! After you finish delivering the snacks, let the brothers rest on duty, and I will let you know when you will be on duty again. ”
Although the prison boss does not know enough about the newly appointed Shen Qianji's way of doing things, judging from his way of doing things, he is not a good stubble. It's a good thing that I don't understand his intentions, just do it.
After finishing the snack, Fat Kui saw that the jailer did not notice his chance, and secretly hid a small sharp knife in his sleeve.
"Two officials, I still have a few pieces of dim sum privately, you have worked hard these days, why don't you taste it too? My craft is pretty good! ”
Fat Kui put a few pieces of dim sum on a plate and served them to the guards outside the door, this time he didn't lie to anyone, these were really what he secretly hidden. Not to mention, the fragrance of this snack can attract all the gluttonous insects in people's stomachs, and the guards can't stop salivating when they see this snack.
"I know that the official can't eat what the prisoner gives him when he is on duty, so wait a minute!"
Fat Kui took out two pieces of oiled paper from the back kitchen, wrapped the snacks in each one, and then stuffed them into the guard's trouser pocket.
"That's fine, I don't have anything to honor, these two days are thanks to the care of the two officials, these snacks are regarded as my filial piety! In the future, if the official wants to eat, just find me Fat Kui! ”
The guards accepted the snacks sent by the fat kui, but they were disdainful of the last sentence "find the fat kui if you want to eat", and even took pity on him, a person who couldn't even understand his own situation was indeed quite sad.
As soon as the "dim sum deal" was completed, the jailer came and shouted to the jailer: "Hurry up and bring the prisoner back to the prison!" Finish it early, we're going to put it on duty! ”
The jailer escorted Fat Kui towards the cell, along the way, Fat Kui felt that the two jailers behind him had been whispering, he pricked up his ears to listen, vaguely heard some content, not in a string, but there were some words such as "confession", "mastermind", "poison", Fat Kui guessed that it should be related to his case.
When they came to the prison gate, perhaps because there was no one around, the jailers were talking a little louder.
"That Xuanjia military captain is really not spineless, and he took the initiative to confess before he was sentenced!"
"What did you confess? I wasn't there, can you tell me about it? ”
"The lieutenant said that poisoning the emperor had nothing to do with him, he was instructed by others, and he was just a chess piece."
"Then does he have a confession of mastermind?"
"I didn't have time to say who was behind the scenes, so he identified the key person who poisoned him!"
"Who?"
Then there was no sound, but Fat Kui could feel that the jailer must have pointed at him.
"Ouch, he's just a cook, what can he do? It must be that he didn't tell the truth, tell Lord Shen and use the torture well! ”
"Isn't that right? Lord Shen naturally wouldn't believe that a chef could be the mastermind behind the scenes, but the chef must be the executor of the poisoning! ”
Really! Fat Kui had already clarified what the jailers were talking about, and when he entered the cell, the jailer turned back and locked the door, but more than that, the door was not completely locked and he left. Fat Kui stepped forward to take a look, the lock cylinder of the iron lock was obviously not aligned, as long as there was something sharp to pick, the iron door could be opened.
Fat Kui touched the sharp knife in his sleeve, and he began to hesitate: Xuan Shaoning grew up watching him, what kind of character he is, he knows very well; And he is a suspect in the emperor's poisoning case, and the guards will not be so anxious that they can't even lock the door lock, even if they are in a hurry.
"There is fraud!"
