Chapter 882: The Restaurant (Two Chapters in One)
But Fang Ruohua, in fact, did not wronged the talent, the guards around her were all led by Li Maocai, and she also persuaded this, if there is anything else she wants to do, just do it, she still wants to enlist in the army, she can also ask Prince Kang to introduce on her behalf, but she is unwilling, she only said that she is very tired, and she doesn't want to go elsewhere to fight with others, fight openly and secretly, and just want to live an ordinary peaceful life.
Li Maocai's peaceful days are to serve his master, yes, although he does not have the status of master and apprentice, Li Maocai is still in his thirties, much older than Fang Ruohua, but he treats Fang Ruohua as a master, and he respects him every day.
If it weren't for Fang Ruohua's well-informed knowledge, and she had seen many loyal servants in the past, she would definitely be the first to stand it.
A heavy snowfall, eighteen people of all ages and children in a village affiliated to Qijiazhuang affiliated to the Illusion of Reality Temple, were all buried, and all of them lost their lives.
Fang Ruohua was also shocked, and went to see you in person.
There were eighteen people, a 167-year-old woman, three children between the ages of one and three, and a baby who was just two months old, Fang Ruohua, who saw such a tragedy with his own eyes, and couldn't help but fall on the hand warmer in anger.
All the deceased were from the Qi family, and there were no outsiders.
The current power in the capital with the illusion of reality, I dare not say that it is comparable to the relatives of the emperor, but it is not to be underestimated, the government heard that they reported the case, and also attached great importance to it, and many officials came to do autopsies, but the corpses looked like they were stoned to death at first glance.
Jingzhao Mansion Jin Zhutou had been an errand in the yamen for thirty years, and he had rich experience, standing in front of Fang Ruohua's door with his hands down, and muttered for a moment and said in a low voice: "...... Although there is no very strong evidence, it is ...... It's not like it's all natural and man-made disasters. β
The old catcher has been on an errand for a long time, and this intuition is sometimes quite accurate.
Fang Ruohua nodded, slowly looked at a few corpses, and his eyes fell on one of the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls.
The girl was the worst of the dead, her entire face was cut by a sharp object, her teeth were loose and fell out, and her face was terrified, apparently hit directly by a heavy object.
Xing'er couldn't bear to look at it: "It's a daylily girl, this ...... The daylily girl has just made a marriage with our forest carpenter, and the forest carpenter's new house is ready. β
For a while, the group was a little unbearable to watch.
"I must investigate this matter to the end, and I hope that Jin Zhutou will help." Fang Ruohua sighed.
The old catcher patted his chest and promised that he would send all the most powerful catchers under his hands to be dispatched by Fang Zhenren.
The face of the illusion of reality, how could they not give it up and down in Jingzhao Mansion.
said that he wanted to investigate the case thoroughly, but at the beginning there was no fanfare, Fang Ruohua first took out his own money and buried the 18 members of Qijiazhuang's family, as for the house, it had collapsed and died, so there was really no need to repair it, so it was simply bulldozed.
Qijiazhuang is near the mountain, the land is a little barren, and the family's land property adds up to five and a half acres of high-grade fields, and there are more than a dozen acres of low-grade fields, which are simply sold to other relatives at a discount, as well as farmers near the left.
Nowadays, land is not easy to obtain, buy more, sell less, if it is not for the big event that the sky falls, no one will sell the house and sell the land, usually the land is sold, it means that the family is in the middle of the road, and the days will become more and more sad.
On the surface, everything is calm, it seems to have passed, and if some people die in the winter, who will take it seriously?
Secretly, people from all walks of life near the capital began to move.
Even the forbidden army is concerned about this matter, but they can't chase the volley, and they are in a hurry, but they want to check if there is a little abnormality, in case they can find some clues, find clues, and catch the demon path, then they will be freed.
"Niu Ben didn't come, it was Feng Zuo who came."
Luo Feng leaned on the eaves half-lying and half-sitting, squinting at the actions of civilian clothes, pretending to be a few forbidden soldiers walking nearby, unfolding the note that had just been untied from the pigeon's legs, and chuckled, "Don't look at people who say that Niu Ben is a fool, but this guy's brain is not bad." β
Most of those who can join the forbidden army are related households, those kings and grandsons, the sons and grandsons of the noble family, but anyone who is a little self-motivated, will find a way for themselves, and it is an excellent choice to stay in the forbidden army for a few years.
But most of them are eating and waiting for death, and it is not easy to become famous.
Everyone wants to make meritorious service, but if this brain is not clear, and the whole mind wants to make meritorious service, I am afraid that the credit will not be in hand, so I will cause trouble first, Luo Feng laughed lightly, the demon road in the sky is not a big person, but such a villain, the two gods in the court, the opinion of him is not very different, the attitude of the emperor is ambiguous, and the orders are all to be arrested, it seems that he has no other thoughts about this person, the emperor behaves honestly and obediently in front of the emperor, but in a casual attitude, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, it doesn't mean that what he wants is a living person.
ββ¦β¦ The unfathomable is the human heart. β
Luo Feng raised his eyes and saw that the dustless old road rode a cyan little donkey from far and near, slithering over, one turned over and fell to the ground, and showed a gentle and bright smile at the dustless road chief, "Dao chief, yo, it's not easy, you always show up in front of my eyes this time, is it true that relying on the messy intelligence network of your little broken Taoist temple, what important news can you hear?" β
Wuchen Lao Dao let out a breath in his nose, rolled his eyes at Luo Feng, ignored him, walked straight to Fang Ruohua's side, changed his face at the time, smiled kindly, and said mysteriously: "Fang Zhenren, Lao Dao will take you to enjoy a top meal today." β
But looking at the appearance of this old Taoist leader, it doesn't look like he just wants her to eat some kind of food.
Fang Ruohua smiled and agreed, and the dustless road chief led Fang Ruohua all the way out of the mountain village with a smile, and walked on a path.
"Hey, aren't you going to eat vegetarian fasting?"
Fang Ruohua looked at the road they were taking, but she was a little unfamiliar, she originally thought that Lao Dao had something to find her, and invited her to eat a vegetarian meal by the way, after all, the dustless vegetarian food is the world's first-class food, and there is really no need to go far.
"If I want to treat you, of course I have to get you something delicious, especially to taste it." Wuchen smiled.
When he said this, Fang Ruohua agreed with kindness.
An old man and a young man walked forward leisurely, and Luo Feng also rode a tall horse along the way, but Wuchen just ignored him, but when he didn't see it, Luo Feng didn't mind, and spoke as usual: "Hey, some people are just stingy, and they can't even listen to a few words of truth." β
The face of the dustless road chief turned green at once, and his chest rose and fell with anger, looking like he was about to faint.
Luo Feng had no choice but to smile bitterly and coax him again.
Fang Ruohua also didn't take them seriously, and refused to get involved at all, just didn't hear it.
Speaking of Wuchen and Luo Feng, a pair of year-old friends, it is really good to have a good relationship, but it is also annoying and naΓ―ve to make trouble.
Recently, it is a disaster, the volley is also annoying, and the new Qijiazhuang thing, if the Chinese are insufficient, they invite friends to help, and the dustless old man is also personally out of the horse, his old man is a local snake, well-connected, many sources, full of confidence in himself, don't look at the old Taoist priest in front of outsiders, fairy wind bones, now old, to a little childish heart, easy to be more serious, but Luo Feng Although he is used to girls, he is very hateful to others.
In the past two years, he has always argued with Wuchen, arguing about chess, drinking, and even admiring flowers and plants.
On that day, Fang Ruohua was angry because of the dead people of the Qi family, and Wuchen happened to bump into him, so he patted his chest and promised, saying that he knew all the martial arts colleagues in the capital, and all of them sold him a few thin noodles, and guaranteed that within a few days, all those who passed by Qijiazhuang that day would be found out and listed on the list for Fang Ruohua to inquire.
Luo Feng happened to go out, and when he heard this, he didn't fit the identity of others, and he didn't think about it and laughed at Lao Dao, saying that he thought he was well-informed and had a wide range of contacts, but as a result, he paid attention to Yunfei, but let his family eat in his Taoist temple for half a month, and even ate and took it, he didn't find out, it seems that the so-called intelligence network has long been useless.
A few words were so angry that Wuchen turned his face with him, and put down the cruel words, if he didn't let Luo Feng spit out such sour words in the future, he would swallow it back as much as he spitted it out, and he would take a detour when he saw Luo Feng in the future.
Fang Ruohua watched the dustless apprentices and grandchildren coax away the old Taoist who was snorting, and he didn't take it very seriously, this year alone, this is the twenty-ninth time that he has turned his face, and the number is too much, which really makes people can't think of making peace.
All the way noisy and noisy, we arrived at the right place.
The place where the dust-free old road took Fang Ruohua to eat was on a mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, thirty miles west of Phoenix Mountain, this mountain has no name, but the environment is very good, and even Prince Kang has set up a hot spring village at the foot of the mountain.
There is a small, naturally formed small cave on the mountainside, warm in winter and cool in summer, the dust-free old way likes the cleanliness of this place, and also loves to sit here to enjoy the wind and the moon, especially the snow, for more than ten years, this piece is his territory, spring, summer, autumn and winter always have a few days to come loose and loose.
However, in the past six months, the cave has made several literati and writers in the capital discover that there seems to be some kind of celebrity, I heard that there are two champions, and wrote an article "Nostalgia for the Nameless Mountain in the Suburbs of Beijing".
In short, all of a sudden, the so-called nameless mountain also became famous, and many literati came to hold poetry meetings and literary meetings.
When climbing the mountain, it became very lively and became popular.
The people of the capital with flexible brains come to sell food and wine, set up a stall to burn a little mountain spring water, pick some wild tea and mountain fruits, as long as the packaging is slightly better, the literati and ink writers will not hesitate to buy.
can still be a porter with strength, as long as you can do business three times a day, you can earn the money that you can earn back in the past half a month.
Fang Ruohua saw the dustless old road pulling her up the mountain, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "Am I mistaken, the person who hangs his head from time to time and complains that his private territory is 'forcibly occupied' by others is not your dustless road chief?" β
Wuchen snorted twice.
"Fang Xiaoyou, don't follow Luo Feng to learn badly, you don't know the hearts of good people, I tasted the delicious food, and I still think about you, shouldn't you be grateful?"
Not to mention, it is indeed a delicacy.
Looking at the posture, the cave was obviously occupied by a cook, and it was converted into a small restaurant.
Fang Ruohua raised his eyes and looked at it, this cook was an old man in his sixties, he didn't look at his face, he only looked very young when he looked at his body, his muscles were soft and strong, his two arms were much thicker than ordinary people, and he thought he had a lot of strength.
This man seems to be a little dull on the outside, not like the kind of businessman who seems to have a nimble brain and knows how to do the business of literati and artists.
But he did have a lot of ideas, and his sharp eyes occupied the best scenic caves on the mountain, and then on the platform outside, he personally cut down the big trees to make tables and chairs.
The table is a large wooden pier, the chair is a strange-shaped stone, and even the dishes, chopsticks, plates and plates are all made of wood, with the beautiful and delicate patterns and fragrance of the logs, which is quite elegant and elegant, which is in line with the hearts of literati and artists.
Compared with the restaurant next to it, there is also a special feature, but all the guests who come to forage for food, can not order, before each person sits down, directly throw at least 30 wen in a wooden box, and the taciturn old chef will help to prepare the meal according to the money you give.
The side dishes are the old cook's business, what he does, the guests have to eat, and you can't ask for more, so as not to waste, this cook can be very cold.
Fang Ruohua, Luo Feng sat down on the mountain with the dustless old way, and listened to the dustless old road raise his eyebrows and proudly say the rules of this place, but he also felt fresh, and couldn't help laughing: "There is a gimmick, it is the day of the imperial examination, if you really cook well, you may be able to gain a foothold in the suburbs of Beijing for a long time." β
After a while, the other party served the food, because dustless only eats vegetarian, all of them are radishes, cabbage and mushrooms, and meat dishes are only chicken.
As soon as Fang Ruohua ate it, he really felt that it tasted quite good.
They are all ordinary home-cooked dishes, but the presentation is very exquisite, and desserts and soups are all available.
Especially the chicken, which obviously looks like a clear stew, and when you eat it, it has a rich flavor.
Luo Feng ate most of the chicken in one go, grabbed a lot of dust-free dishes, and said vaguely while eating: "I didn't expect Tian'er Wang Huai, who has not been seen for ten years, to become a cook, old man, don't sell Guanzi, invite people to talk." β
Wuchen ignored him, but the cook tidied up his clothes, walked in front of him, bent down and knelt down for Fang Ruohua, bang, and kowtowed three times.
"Xie Zhenren found the bones of the little girl, so that the little girl had to be buried in the ground."
After saying that, he kowtowed his head again before he shook his sleeves and stood up.
Wuchen Lao Dao shook his head and sighed: "Wang Huai is only one daughter, when he was young, the father and daughter had some misunderstandings, his daughter became a monk and sought Taoism, but he didn't expect that heaven and man would be separated forever, and he searched for ten years...... After the government restrained the woman who had been harmed by the volley demon path, he found his daughter's bones from it. β
Fang Ruohua was stunned.
This is simple to say, just a few words, and then look at this person, his face is expressionless, there is not much sadness, the description is not haggard, the clothes are clean and neat, the fingernails are trimmed beautifully, but the eyes are wooden, faintly making people feel a trace of death, as if ...... It's not like a living person, it's like a mud puppet.
Tian'er Wang Huai didn't wait for Wuchen to ask, it was obvious that Fang Ruohua wanted to know something, and said expressionlessly: "These days, I have been tracking the traces of volleys, and I don't know if it is the will of heaven, I have been like a waste for ten years, blind and blind, that day, on the day of the accident in Qijiazhuang, I was like a god, and the clues bumped into me by themselves. β
