Chapter 228: The Old Case

Yangzhou's food is more pleasant to look at. This restaurant is full of flowers, and the pastries are fine and beautiful, but the taste is mediocre. Mingyi is a little lost, nostalgic for the three buns and dried silk and lion's head eaten in Yangzhou in modern times, and the main dish is late.

A simple boiled river shrimp in salt water, with rice wine, the fresh fragrance goes straight into the nose. There is no need to peel the shell, squeeze it with the tip of the tongue in the mouth, and you can taste the extremely fresh and tender taste, which is tender and tough, and the mouth is full of umami.

A dish of steamed anchovies with a golden brown color, still using rice wine, sprinkled with some valuable ginger shreds. The fish meat is in small pieces, and it has a peculiar salty aroma, and when you open the belly of the fish, it is indeed a piece of ruddy ham. The fish is also salted and salty, but it is best served with wine.

Ma Chengling explained: "This anchovy can only be caught in early summer, salted and stored in a cool cellar before it can be tasted in this golden autumn season." ”

Ming Yi sighed: "Yangzhou is worthy of being a developed place for Caoyun, so there can be so many delicious foods produced by salt. ”

The third course, boiled crab. It is also a good dish to accompany the wine, the fresh crab that is cut into pieces after opening the shell, drunk in the wine, the taste in the mouth, the rich crab roe umami goes straight to the brain, and the whole person is shrouded in that taste.

The fourth course, shrimp roe, crab roe and tofu. The white tofu, boiled with only the best salt, cooked with crab roe, sprinkled with roasted shrimp roe, the freshness of shrimp and crabs, are all in a small square of white jade tofu, the taste is tender and smooth, and the aftertaste is endless.

Finally, there is a refreshing and refreshing lettuce soup, which is a good product to clear the mouth, and sweep away the remaining fishy smell in the mouth, leaving only the fragrance.

"Pony, I didn't expect you to be a foodie." Mingyi is quite satisfied with this meal, there is no need for too much complicated cooking, but this fresh river fresh has been able to make her willing to eat in Yangzhou for half a year.

Ma Chengling drank osmanthus wine, and said with a smile: "How do I know what kind of food, these are just what we Yangzhou people love to eat." Since I invited my sister to come, I naturally have to choose a good one, I just have to choose the most expensive one, I can't go wrong. ”

"Haha, you, you're really an expert at spending money." Ming Yi became more and more affectionate to the raunchy horse dart in front of him, especially compared to Shi Ruoshan who was wearing a hypocritical mask, he was much cuter.

"Life is meant to be enjoyable, and money doesn't come and go without an owner." At the beginning of the time, he toasted Ma Chengling.

Ma Chengling was even happier: "My brother-in-law really understands me and is talented!" ”

Ming Yi remembered that last night the few of them discussed the expansion of the Shangguan Mansion, and decided to ask: "The expansion of the Shangguan Mansion, how to deal with it?" ”

Ma Chengling snorted: "The Shi Gang Master insists on building it, anyway, Xiao Erlang is also willing to give him an advance in salary, what can we do?" Anyway, Brother Hua and I will never live in it, and we won't go to the sedan chair, no matter how small my kennel is, it is also a place for me to be free. When we joined the Shangguan gang, it was cooperation, not surrender, and it was not his family's Ding Nursing Home, how could he influence it. ”

Mingyi was more reassured: "What about the Chu Niang?" ”

"Chu Niangzi is now in the same situation as the gang leader, but it's not easy to tear her face, how can she be willing to live in the same house with the gang leader. Yesterday she was the first to leave, and we took our leave. Ma Chengling was also happy to see the excitement.

At the beginning, he pretended to be curious: "Why is that Chu Niang so prejudiced against the Shi Gang Master?" ”

Ma Chengling looked at no one on the left and right, and lowered his voice: "Chu Niangzi is the niece of the old gang leader, you know, right?" The death of the old gang leader and her cousin Shangguan Yun, she has always been haunted. It's just that it was a shipwreck, and there was nothing left alive, and the old gang leader was also delirious when he was rescued, and he only lived for three days. Chu Niangzi searched all over the Guazhou area, but did not find Shangguan Yun's body. She probably always suspected in her heart that it was the Shi Gang Leader who had done the black hand. ”

Ming Yi was horrified when he heard it: "It's strange that Shangguan Yun doesn't see people dead or corpses." ”

Ma Chengling frowned and said: "To this day, Chu Niangzi is still looking around Yangzhou, believing that his cousin is not dead. According to rumors, she once said that she suspected that her cousin was under house arrest by Shi Ruoshan. ”

Ming Yi barely squeezed out a smile: "It's not enough, it should be just her imagination." ”

Ma Chengling smiled: "I don't think that's the case." Sister, if you can talk to Wanqing, you can ask her. ”

Mingyi's eyes widened: "What?" Does Wanqing have anything to do with this? ”

"Anyway, after the accident, Chu Niangzi found someone to detain Wanqing for three days, and she did everything, but she didn't ask anything. In the end, it was the Shi gang leader who came forward to save her. Ma Chengling smiled, "It's normal for Chu Niangzi to suspect that Wanqing is also normal." When Shangguan Yun was alive, the Shi gang leader and Wanqing had already gotten along, but in the name of doing things for the gang, the old gang leader also turned a blind eye, as long as he didn't bring it home. Shangguan Yun and the gang leader quarreled a few times for Wanqing, but they were all over. ”

Ma Chengling paused for a while and said, "And on the day of the old gang leader's accident, the Shi gang leader was in the evening room, saying that he was discussing the matter of entertaining the new assassin. ”

Mingyi had chills on her body, she didn't think that it might be a murder case, if so, how would she get along with Wanqing in the future? Thinking that this woman might be suspected of being an accomplice to murder, she couldn't laugh with her at all.

Shi Chuchu held her hand under the table and pinched it, as if to say to her, don't be afraid, calm down. She took a deep breath and continued, "What do you think?" Will the Shi Gang Leader really conspire with Wanqing? ”

Ma Chengling looked at Ming Yi's eyes, and said with a straight face: "Brother Hua also asked me about this sentence." I said I don't believe it, the Shi gang leader has indeed been in a bit of a hurry to concentrate the power of the gang recently, and that is also because the prince still refuses to believe him after so long, and Xia Huanfeng is aggressive and very strong. But he is still a loyal man in my heart, and besides, he has no martial arts, how can a person control this shipwreck? How could he hide Shangguan Yun for more than two years without being discovered? It should have just been an accident. ”

"What does Hanako-hyun think?" Ming Yi felt that she needed to talk to Xia Huanfeng, even if she didn't know the truth, she would have her own judgment.

"Brother Hua said that what I said makes sense." Ma Chengling has no interest in this topic, "Where do my sister and brother-in-law go to play in the afternoon?" I'll take you there. ”

Mingyi knew that he had nothing to ask here, so he got back to the point: "I'm going to take the eleven Oiran ladies from Yangzhou back to Chang'an together, and you can help me arrange three carriages, plus the guards to ensure their safety all the way." I'll go back to Chang'an to settle the expenses for you. ”

Ma Chengling smiled: "It's just right, I'm going to Chang'an too, and I'll personally bet you on this dart." 2k reading network
