Chapter 41: The Mysterious Taoist
Hearing that there was progress in the case, Mu Bangxiang immediately forgot what had just happened: "Then what should we do next?" ”
"Find the ghosts of the three brothers of the Wu family and ask what happened?" Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, if Mu Bangxiang forced him to ask, he didn't know what to do.
This feeling is really weird.,It's definitely not that I haven't seen other women recently.,That's why I think Mu Bangxiang is cute.,It seems that I'm going to go to the Qinglou anyway.。
Ghost. Mu Bangxiang suddenly heard something, which seemed to be related to ghosts, but for a while, she just couldn't figure it out.
The two talked for a while, and Fan Niangzi came to Mu Bangxiang, saying that the Wu family was going to eat together in the evening, and now they would start preparing dinner.
As for Mu Bangxiang, of course, she still prepares rice porridge, she is now a person in the old lady's house, but when she needs help from the big kitchen, she still has to come over.
Under the command of Fan Niangzi, the various cooks were busy in an orderly manner.
What makes Mu Bangxiang curious is that Fan Niangzi, as the steward of the kitchen, why doesn't she cook?
At this time, Fan Niangzi moved, she carefully selected in the wooden barrel, and finally selected a fat girl's mandarin fish and a snail.
The conch is the size of a palm, the shell is gray, and if you are not mistaken, it should be a conch, which is thicker and sweeter than ordinary conch.
Fan Niangzi first dealt with the mandarin fish, and the mandarin fish that was still alive just now was lying quietly on the vegetable pier.
She took a clean cloth and covered the fish, and as the kitchen knife flew in her hand, the fish was cut into slices, and when she lifted it, it was able to let in the light.
The white fish fillets are neatly stacked, accompanied by the soy sauce specially prepared by Fan Niangzi, which looks delicious.
The conch is charcoal-grilled on a small stove, and the broth is already hanging, and after a while, the rich aroma makes everyone in the kitchen look at it.
Daddy is right, Fan Niangzi's cooking skills are very extraordinary, if it weren't for the accumulation of her previous life, Mu Bangxiang might not be her opponent.
After the gong is sliced, the other dishes are also served in the main hall.
Every time the Wu family had a meal, Fan Niangzi needed to be served by the side, and this time she specially brought Mu Bang Xiang with her, which attracted the jealousy of other cooks more and more.
However, Mu Bangxiang didn't care at all, she was very happy in her heart, and she just wanted to be able to observe the family more and see what was going on here.
In the main hall, there is a round table made of pear blossom wood, which is full of various dishes, including fish and meat, and a lot of vegetables, which looks very nutritious.
Old Man Wu sat in the middle position, with the old lady on his left hand, Wu Qinghe on his right hand, and the Rong family and the two young ladies of the Wu family below.
"Ze'er's matter has passed, and in a few days let his body be transported back and buried as soon as possible." Old Man Wu spoke, and everyone was silent.
Wu Qinghe stood up suddenly: "Father, you have lost three grandchildren in a row, don't you suspect that there is something wrong here?" ”
"If there was a problem, the government would have found out a long time ago, don't be suspicious, now the Wu family's family business, you say you don't care, and you want me, an old man over half a hundred years old, to support you, aren't you ashamed?" Old Man Wu looked at his only son and said with great sadness, "Your eldest brother is gone, and the three grandchildren are gone, I am more sad than anyone else, but it has been so long, and the yamen also said that they died normally, what are you still struggling with?" ”
"I just understand that they are all good living people, how to say that if they are gone, they will be gone." Wu Qinghe's eyes were red, and he muttered, "They all said that Ze'er died of poisoning, how could I easily take him back." ”
Rong also chimed in: "Daddy, they all said that the newly opened barbecue restaurant poisoned Ze'er. ”
Mu Bangxiang, who was still bent on asking about something, immediately retracted his neck when he heard it.
This family has its own ghosts and different thoughts, and it seems that there must be a hidden secret in the death of several young masters.
"If it was really that barbecue restaurant that poisoned it, the government would have gone to arrest people a long time ago, and it would not be your turn to think about it." Old man Wu patiently persuaded his son and daughter-in-law, "People can't be resurrected after death, and the most important thing now is our Wu family's industry." The people outside are eyeing each other, wanting to tear our Wu family to pieces, if they are blindly immersed in pain, this family will not be able to support it. ”
To be able to grow from a small grain store to such a big place today, the mind is really not comparable to ordinary people.
In the end, it ended with Wu Qinghe compromising, and although the meal on the table was very delicious, no one was in the mood to eat, so there was still a lot left.
Mu Bangxiang glanced at it, and saw that the fish and whelks had all been eaten, and it seemed that Fan Niangzi's cooking skills were really good.
This was the second night at the Wu family, and for some reason, she was accompanied by Li Yan last night, and she rarely had a good night's sleep.
When Mu Wanxiang pondered how to persuade Li Yan to sleep with her, Li Yan took the initiative to speak: "One hundred taels." ”
"Deal, you still owe me eight hundred taels." Since she has yin and yang eyes, Mu Bangxiang has nightmares every day, and it is rare to get a good night's sleep, even if it costs a hundred taels, she still thinks it is worth it.
After the two of them lay down, Mu Bangxiang couldn't sleep with his eyes open: "Where do you say Wu Ze's ghost is?" ”
"No, I haven't seen it in the house for a long time." Li Yan muttered, "Not only that, but I didn't even see other ghosts. ”
In a big house like the Wu family, it is normal for a few maidservants to die, but it is strange that there is no one.
"You say there are no ghosts in this courtyard?" Mu Bangxiang sat up suddenly, and she squinted her eyes and looked directly at Li Yan.
Uh, I accidentally said that I missed my mouth.
There are no ghosts in the Wu Mansion, Li Yan has already found out, and offered to sleep with her for a hundred taels.
"I remember, Xiao Tao once said that Mrs. Rong invited a Taoist leader, and you said that all the ghosts in the house were taken away, will it have anything to do with him?" No wonder Mu Bangxiang always felt that something was wrong, and she only reacted now.
Li Yan frowned, and his eyes gradually became gloomy: "You said that there are Taoist priests in this mansion?" ”
"That's right, I'm sure Xiao Tao also said that he would let the Taoist priest recite the scriptures for five days. You've been searching for news in the house all day, haven't you found out? Looking at Li Yan's appearance, Mu Wanxiang immediately realized that something was wrong, "Do you want me to ask Xiao Tao Ming'er?" ”
"No need, I'll go and investigate now and see where that Dao Leader is?" Li Yan got up, just walked a few steps, and said, "If I don't show up tomorrow, why don't you want to go out and find Liu Yi to help?" ”
"Why?" Mu Bangxiang felt that Li Yan's expression was different from before, and she also became nervous.
"Remember." Still without explanation, Li Yan opened the door and slowly disappeared into the night.
