Chapter 229: Su Xinzhai
"My lord, it's been a few days, and there hasn't been any movement, could it be that we have been discovered?" Tang Xiao reported.
"Did anyone find the East Factory?"
"Two days ago, I found that a few Dongchang servants passed by in front of the palace, and it should have nothing to do with the palace!"
"Then leave a group of people to continue to monitor, and the rest of the people will withdraw and continue to practice!" Meng Yan thought for a while, some things can't be rushed, you have to be patient.
Anyway, this case can be closed on the surface, and the hiding place of the archers and killers who assassinated him has been found, and everyone is dead, except for the annex that is unclear about the involvement of the Ministry of Industry Langzhong Jinmantang.
It can be checked from this line, and Wang You, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, can also be found, but that is all done by which of his housekeepers, Deng Chunyang!
When I arrived, I still couldn't do anything to others!
Since it can't be done, it's better not to check, and the provincial grass and snakes are scared, which can be regarded as a long-term fishing for big fish.
"By the way, to Wang You's housekeeper Deng Chunyang, have you sent someone to monitor you?" Meng Yan asked.
"This guy is very vigilant, except for going out with Wang You in the past few days, he has not left alone, but we found out that he has a small yard on Xixie Street, and occasionally goes to live there." Don laughed.
"Check this person's past, the more detailed the better!"
"Understood!"
"By the way, what is the situation with Su Xinzhai, how many times has Xiaoyu mentioned it to me?" Meng Yan asked.
"Your Excellency, you don't know?" Tang Xiao asked with a strange face.
"I, what do I know?"
"Su Xinzhai closed a year ago."
"It's closed. The dim sum I ate a few days ago, Xiaoyu said that it was vegetarian, is she lying to me? Meng Yan was stunned.
"Have you ever eaten a vegetarian sam?"
"Is it strange, I also think it's strange, what the hell is going on?" Meng Yan asked.
"This thing started a year ago, Su Xin Zhai was not originally called Su Xin Zhai, but called Ben Xin Zhai, which is a pastry shop that has been inherited for a hundred years......"
"I didn't expect there to be such a story here, hearing you say this, this Bai Suxin should be wronged?"
"Anyone who knows Bai Suxin knows that she is kind and kind. Doing business is also childish. The neighborhood relationship is good, but this case was handled by Dongchang, and a Ling Chi sentence was sentenced, and the case went to the Criminal Department. The Ministry of Criminal Justice considered the evidence insufficient. Disagree with this verdict. For this reason, Dongchang and the Criminal Department also fought a lawsuit in front of Shengshang for this case. β
"How does the Holy One decide?"
"No one can convince anyone, this case dragged on, and Bai Suxin was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department for a year!" Don laughed. "Speaking of which, it's so pitiful!"
"This case sounds like a lot of suspicious points, and the key evidence and evidence are missing, but in the case of Dongchang, how did we Jinyiwei intervene, besides, this is a case from the past year, and the relevant evidence may be missing, and there is no way to investigate, which is a difficult problem!" Meng Yan Road.
"Your Excellency, should you ask Madame Rain if she may know more about it?" Tang Xiao reminded.
"I'm going to ask her, is it just sympathy that she asked me to help a woman for no reason?" Meng Yan was puzzled.
"I don't know if it's under this mark!"
"In this way, you collect this information about Bai Suxin and return it to me, as detailed as possible, so that I can analyze and judge." Meng Yan commanded.
"No!"
"Go, I'll clean up here, and I'm going back to the craftsman!" Meng Yan Road.
"No!"
After sitting for a while, Meng Yan stood up and came to Wen Xiaoyu's room: "That Xiaoyu, go and buy me some snacks for Su Xinzhai, I brought Xiaoyue to that girl, I haven't seen her for a few days, I guess it's time to scold me at home." β
"Is this the time to do it?" Wen Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and asked.
"I'm going to withdraw from you, hurry up, I'll take it away later!" Meng Yan nodded.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you!" Wen Xiaoyu agreed to come down.
"Well, buy more, her one is very delicious, I'll take some back to my brothers to taste by the way!"
"Good!" Smelling the light rain, he put on a big coat and quickly went downstairs.
"Son, do you want me to accompany Mrs. Yu?" Lin Tianxing asked in a low voice.
Meng Yan waved his hand: "No, when it's time to say it, she will say it, it's not time yet." β
"Yes, Childe!" Lin Tianxing bowed slightly.
Bai Suxin, Dongchang, what does this have to do with it?
Why did Wen Xiaoyu bring up this case in front of him, could it be that there was some secret in this case?
Murder, fighting for family property, and adulterers, there seems to be one bloody plot after another.
How many things Tang Xiao said were true, and how much was hearsay, he would not judge lightly before he met him.
About an hour later, Wen Xiaoyu came back with two baskets of pastries.
"Still hot?" Meng Yan touched it, and the pastry still had a trace of residual warmth.
"It's just out of the pot, of course it's hot."
"Thank you, Xiaoyu, I'll give you the money back?" Meng Yan smiled slightly, took the basket and said.
"Do we need to be so clear about each other?" Wen Xiaoyu smiled charmingly.
"Hehe, okay, then I'll take it first, and I'll come back to see you!" Meng Yan handed the basket of pastries to Lin Tianxingdao.
"My lord, the pastry should be eaten while it is hot, it will not taste good when it is cold!"
"Got it."
Out of the door, Meng Yan took a basket from Lin Tianxing's hand: "This blue, you take it back and give it to the brothers, but don't say it's Su Xinzhai's pastries, understand?" β
"Understood!"
"Then you go back first, I'll go to Guo's mansion!" Meng Yan commanded.
"Childe, are you alone?"
"Why, in broad daylight, are you still afraid that someone will be bad for me?" Meng Yan smiled, "Don't worry, you are allowed to go back before dark." β
"Yes!"
Guo Mansion.
"Brother Guo is good!"
"Hello uncle, Miss has been talking about it for several days. If you don't come again, she'll be looking for you! Guo Xiaochao said with a long face.
"Yes, this girl, why don't you have any patience at all, this can't work!" Meng Yan said with a smile.
"Except for the master, the young lady listens to your uncle." Guo Xiaochao was a little apprehensive, but he was helpless, he grew up with Guo Yue since childhood, he regarded her as his sister, and Guo Yue also regarded him as his brother.
Once this relationship is formed. That's ingrained. If you want to go one step further, unless both sides have this idea, it's basically no fun.
"Brother Guo, have you ever thought about coming out to do things?"
"Do things. What is it about? Guo Xiaochao was stunned. Something is unclear.
"Brother Guo is young. You don't just want to be an obscure housekeeper, do you? Meng Yan said.
"Uncle, I don't understand what you mean?"
"Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures? Brother Guo. Don't let down your kung fu, and talent? Meng Yan said sincerely.
"Hmph, Brother Meng, you are so bad, you have dug up the foot of the wall to Xiaoyue's house, if you let your father know, you have to cut your nose!" Coldly, a bright shadow pounced on the corner of the corridor.
"Oh, where are the wild cats, they can still speak human words!"
"I'm so angry, Brother Meng, you haven't come to see Xiaoyue for a few days?" With Guo Xiaochao by his side, Guo Yue stopped his figure and muttered angrily.
"Isn't this coming, hey, and I brought you delicious pastries!" Meng Yan handed over the basket in his hand and said.
"That's pretty much it!" Guo Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and reached out to take it, "Ah, it's still hot, I'm hungry!" β
"Su Xinzhai's mint osmanthus cake, four ice fruits, lotus paste crystal cake......" Guo Yueyi lifted the lid of the basket and cried out in surprise.
Guo Xiaochao heard the words "Su Xinzhai", the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Su Xinzhai has been closed for a year, and the Bai family's pastry skills are in the hands of Bai Suxin, who is still in the prison of the Criminal Department.
However, the word "Su Xin" on the pastry is the trademark of Su Xin Zhai, which is the only one in the capital and has no other branches.
What's going on, Fei Su Xinzhai has reopened, but Bai Suxin is obviously still locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department.
"Uncle, where did you buy this pastry?"
"Su Xin Zhai, I said it was Su Xin Zhai's dim sum." Meng Yan replied.
"Su Xinzhai is reopened?"
"Reopen, what do you mean?"
"No, it's not interesting." Guo Xiaochao hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I'll just ask casually, miss, Su Xinzhai's dim sum is a must in Beijing, can you taste it?" β
Guo Yue also understood at this time, she also knew that Meng Yan had nothing to do with Su Xinzhai, Su Xinzhai closed down a year ago, and Bai Suxin was found to have committed adultery with an adulterer, murdered her husband, and was sent to prison in the Criminal Department, and there has been no result so far.
There is only one possibility, Su Xinzhai is reopened, but the owner has changed, and the secret of making zuΓ² pastries is probably not the original.
Although Guo Yue thought in her heart that Meng Yan might have been deceived, Su Xinzhai's pastries were not the same as before, but she was still very happy, whether the pastry tasted or not, but it was bought by Meng Yan, so she reached out and picked up a piece of mint osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth.
"Well......" The familiar taste made Guo Yue almost surprised that she didn't bite off her tongue, this is the taste of Suxinzhai mint osmanthus cake, exactly the same as what she ate a year ago.
The reason why Su Xinzhai's pastries are famous in Beijing is that it has a unique and long-lasting taste, and those who have eaten it once will never forget it.
"Satsuki, is it delicious?"
"Master Meng, is this pastry really bought from Su Xinzhai?" Guo Yue asked suspiciously.
"Why, you are as suspicious as Brother Guo, this pastry was naturally bought from Su Xinzhai." Meng Yan Road.
"Brother Meng, as far as Xiao Yue knows, Su Xinzhai has been closed for a year, how did Lord Meng buy these pastries?"
"This, hehe, Xiaoyue, it's cold outside, let's go into the house and say okay?" Meng Yan said with a smile.
"Oh, good, good, Brother Meng, please!"
"Little Peach, go make a cup of hot tea for Brother Meng!" Guo Yue instructed Xiao Taohong.
"Brother Meng, what's the matter, how did you buy Su Xinzhai's pastries?" As soon as she entered the house, Guo Yue couldn't wait to ask.
"Actually, I'm also very curious, why would I buy a pastry from Suxinzhai that has been closed for a year, and it has just come out of the pot?"
"Brother Meng, don't sell Guanzi, sue SΓΉ Xiaoyue!" Guo Yue pleaded.
"Xiaoyue, you tell me all about Su Xinzhai first, okay?" Meng Yan sat down and said.
"Su Xin Zhai ......" (to be continued......)
