Chapter 321: Osmanthus Wine Brews Small Balls

Although it is dim sum, it is actually the staple food that fills the stomach at the end of the feast, and the last staple dim sum prepared on the menu is bamboo tube rice, xiaolongpu soup dumplings, lotus root soup and osmanthus wine stuffed with small balls.

When Lin Fei came over, Wen Mingtang had just made small round cups made with osmanthus wine, and was transferring them to small round cups one by one, one cup per person looked delicate and easy to use.

The golden osmanthus blossoms in the lovely little balls of wine koji and jade snow, yellow and white, the color is fresh and bright, and the two or three red wolfberries dotted with them are the finishing touches.

Lin Fei just stood aside, did not lower his head and deliberately smelled, the rich aroma of rice wine mixed with the sweet smell of osmanthus came from the round cup with the hot air.

The slightly intoxicating sweetness poured into his nose, Lin Fei lowered his eyes and looked at the osmanthus wine stuffed dumplings in the round cup, his eyes condensed slightly, he didn't move away, and said to the maid who came in to serve the staple snacks: "Let's go directly to the guest house, Mrs. Lu is unwell, so she will rest!" ”

This sentence also means that the banquet has dispersed early, Wen Mingtang handed the prepared osmanthus wine stuffed dumplings to the maid, wiped his hands, and glanced at Master Xing, who was still waiting to prepare a meat meal.

Master Xing stopped what he was doing and asked Lin Fei: "Second son, what about the rest of the meat ......dishes?"

Lin Fei shook his head and said, "You don't have to go on it anymore." ”

Master Xing heard the "um" sound, didn't insist anymore, instead raised the bandage on his hand that was somewhat torn, said hello to Wen Mingtang and Lin Fei, and went back to change the dressing.

After Master Xing left, Wen Mingtang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Fei, was silent, and asked him: "Lin Shaoqing, does this Master Xing know the guest who came today?" ”

Lin Fei was noncommittal about this, just paused, and said, "As soon as the braised pork meat came up, Mrs. Lu began to retch, saying that she smelled too much meat and felt a little uncomfortable. ”

The reason for this reasoning is explained by Lin Fei, Wen Mingtang, who is a cook, immediately reacted, and said thoughtfully: "I see that there are too many red yeast rice, and the color is too gorgeous." ”

However, as an ordinary person, Wen Mingtang has no other feelings except that the color of the pork meat is too red. It's just that when I think of the eucalyptus that is being done now, as well as the rumors that Liu Yuan and others have always said in their ears in recent days, coupled with the strange behavior of Lin Fei and Master Xing today, I have a faint guess in my heart.

"Didn't Mrs. Lu see such a fateful scene before?" Wen Mingtang thought for a moment and said, "Master Xing is here for Mrs. Lu?" ”

Because of knowing Liang Hongscarf, Wen Mingtang knew in detail about the process of Master Xing becoming the chef of the Hou Mansion, and heard that Master Xing was originally going to enter the Ganzhiwei Chef to eat "public dinner", but when he walked halfway, he regretted entering the Jingyun Hou Mansion.

Maybe this Master Xing entered the Hou Mansion to borrow Mrs. Hou to get close to Mrs. Lu, but he obviously forgot that there was a big Buddha like Lin Fei in this house, and he was doing things under his nose...... Wen Mingtang felt that it was better to be refreshing, and directly explained the reason.

Looking at Lin Fei's actions today, it is obvious that Master Xing's past has been investigated, but Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu in the yamen don't seem to know about it.

Lin Fei said "um", and then stopped, ......as if he was a little hesitant, lifted his eyelids and looked at the girl's face, after thinking about it, he felt that the girl was not small, so he thought about it, and still said: "The rumor in the market that Liu Yuan said is not groundless!" ”

What did Liu Yuan say? When Wen Mingtang heard this, his face changed slightly: "You said that people ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Lin Fei shaking his head and said, "That's not true." It's just that some people are interested in getting rich, and it is true that they killed a rich businessman couple, and it was the butcher who killed the murderer, and the murder weapon used was the butcher's knife. ”

Hearing this, Wen Mingtang subconsciously glanced at the knives on the cutting board, and his face was not very good-looking.

Lin Fei glanced at the girl and saw that she was only angry, not afraid, before continuing: "The eucalyptus did not happen in Chang'an City, but in the nearby Xianyang, and there is no such eucalyptus file in Chang'an City. However, because of the proximity to Chang'an, and because of the bizarre and terrifying process of eucalyptus, it has become an enduring rumor. ”

Now that we know where eucalyptus happens, we can find it as long as there is a record. In fact, Lin Fei had borrowed the file of eucalyptus from Xianyang County.

"It has been nearly 60 years since this eucalyptus occurred, and the eucalyptus was broken that year, and the murderer was arrested in just two days, and the human and material evidence is complete, and there is no possibility of misjudgment." Lin Fei said, "The murdered rich businessman couple was not from Chang'an City, but a wealthy businessman passing through here, the victim was a butcher, and the murder weapon was the butcher's knife used in the butcher's hand, as for the arrest so quickly......

When Lin Fei said this, he paused, looked at the girl, and said: "The rich businessman couple has a daughter, and in Chang'an, who came with the rich businessman and his wife, he stayed in the house rented by the rich businessman to recuperate because he was not accustomed to the water and soil, and he did not see anyone. ”

"The murderer butcher didn't know that the daughter of a rich businessman also came to Chang'an, thinking that it was only a rich businessman and his wife, and after killing people, he used a butcher's knife to dissect the corpse, trying to destroy the corpse," Lin Fei said and glanced at the girl, "The daughter of the rich businessman hid under the bed at that time, watching all this happen in front of her eyes." ”

Wen Mingtang couldn't help but gasp when he heard this: "The daughter of the rich businessman ......"

"The daughter of the rich businessman is naturally the most powerful witness to this," Lin Fei said, "With this witness, the murderer was quickly arrested and sentenced to beheading, but it was just ......"

It's just that the daughter of the rich businessman not only had to bear the pain of losing her parents, but also witnessed the murder of her parents and the cruel dismemberment of their bodies by the butcher, so can she live the rest of her life in peace?

Wen Mingtang had a faint guess in his heart, his lips moved, and before she could speak, Lin Fei glanced at the direction of the guest courtyard and said: "The orphan girl is pregnant, the daughter of the rich merchant was taken to the house of her uncle and aunt, and when she grew up to be married, she accidentally fell into the water and was forced to marry her cousin as a wife, and then ...... later."

Without waiting for Lin Fei to finish speaking, Wen Mingtang already understood: "Could it be that the daughter of the rich businessman back then was that Mrs. Lu?" ”

Lin Fei nodded, and after detailing Mrs. Lu's past and friendship with Mrs. Hou, he said: "I found out that Mrs. Lu was the witness of that year, and she has been the same since this incident. ”

Mrs. Lu's past is clear at a glance, so why did the criminal master borrow a plate of braised pork to deliberately evoke Mrs. Lu's memories and remind her of the old days?

Master Guan Xing's age is the same generation as Mrs. Lu's daughter Qian Niang and Mrs. Hou, and he should not have been born when the incident happened back then!

In this regard, Lin Fei lifted his eyelids and continued: "Although the eucalyptus case back then was complete with human and material evidence, and there was no misjudgment, how did a wealthy businessman couple who passed through Chang'an get involved with a butcher? ”

If the butcher sees the wealth...... The wealthy businessman couple has traveled north and south without an accident for many years, and this vigilance should be there, but why would a butcher whom he did not know enter the house at will?
