Chapter 2 The Past of Poyang Chapter 24 Squirrel Mandarin Fish

A mandarin fish is placed on the board, and a boning knife in his hand swims between the scales and the belly of the fish, flying like a flower. With only one hand, the scales and cheeks are removed, and the organs are dissected. Suddenly, the silver light flashed, the blade was boneless, and the fish bones were removed without tender meat.

Subsequently, the tip of the knife is obliquely cut, and the flower knife cuts out a diamond-shaped knife pattern, and the flesh is broken and the skin is connected, and the force is extremely skillful. Wrap it in egg yolk powder paste and shake off the remaining flour lightly, just right. Then use bamboo chopsticks to stand the fish body, make a rat shape, and fry it in the pot until golden brown. Supplemented with tomato soup and hot oil.

In this way, the head and tail of the mandarin fish are raised, and the boiling oil creaks when the end plate is served, and it is as fresh as a squirrel raising its head and calling softly. The color of the fish is golden, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is fragrant when the heat is steaming.

"Toad Palace, Guigui Squirrel Fish. Li Suifeng brought the plate to the table and smiled lightly at Su Yao.

Jiang Ci on the side looked at the table full of delicacies, and exclaimed excitedly: "Suifeng, why don't you come to my house to be a cook!"

"Then I'll probably poison you someday. Li Suifeng said unhurriedly: "Su Yao, taste it." ”

Su Yao moved her chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in her mouth. The skin of the fish is crispy and the meat is fluffy. The melt-in-your-mouth taste made Su Yao snort softly. The sweet and sour aroma echoed in her mouth, and Su Yao couldn't help but stretch out her chopsticks and pick up another piece of fish.

"Hey, hey. Seeing this, Jiang Ci also hurriedly moved his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth. "It's delicious!

Uncle Zhong, who usually doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, also moved his chopsticks and put a piece of fish meat in his mouth to taste it.

Li Suifeng sat at the table, smiling like a spring breeze.

"Toast the delicacies!" The four of them gathered around the stone table in the small courtyard, enjoying the rare relaxation and comfort of delicious food and wine, glass of wine, and joy.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Ci suddenly asked, "What happened in the end?"

Li Suifeng thought for a while and said, "This is all planned by Lu Ziyou, and the affairs of the frontier have little to do with the cult, so you can rest assured for the time being." ”

"What about Luo Sanyuan?"

"There is a corpse hidden in the mountain behind the martial arts hall, but it is unrecognizable, and it cannot be completely confirmed that it is the corpse and the real Luo Sanyuan. I think it may be ......" Li Suifeng paused and said: "Peel and make yi-|-|-rong-|-||-noodles-|-|-||-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| ”

"Ruthless guy!" Jiang Ci slapped his palm on the table, his eyes full of anger.

Su Yao said: "According to Lin Xiaoyue, she and Luo Sanyuan have known each other for a year, but the corpse has been dead for half a year at most. In other words, Lu Ziyou pretended to be Luo Sanyuan for half a year, but the number of trysts with Lin Xiaoyue was only a lot more, but he never showed flaws. ”

Jiang Ci said: "Perhaps, the daughter of the Lin family has noticed the changes in Luo Sanyuan a long time ago, but she just doesn't want to believe it or is it clear that she is protecting herself?"

"Not necessarily, Lu Ziyou pretended to be Luo Sanyuan, just to find the picture scroll in the Lin family, there is no need to do this to Lin Xiaoyue. However, you have also seen it in the ring that day, and how much sincerity he hid in his eyes when he looked at Lin Xiaoyue. Li Suifeng said.

"Lu Ziyou and Lin Xiaoyue are the same age, what do you say, ......" Su Yao wanted to speak and stopped, and some didn't dare to continue.

Li Suifeng knew what Su Yao meant, so he turned out Su Yao's words and said, "Perhaps, Lu Ziyou also has a love for Lin Xiaoyue." ”

Suddenly, he remembered what Lu Ziyou had said to him. He said: "Lu Zi lobbied, he killed Lin Xiaoyue. However, when we found Lin Xiaoyue, she was safe and sound. When he said this, his eyes were still clear......"

Li Suifeng looked at the surprised Su Yao and Jiang Ci and said, "He may be crazy, or he may know that he is about to go crazy." He provoked me and just wanted me to kill him. ”

"No...... No way. ”

Li Suifeng took out the scroll from his arms and said, "This scroll is extremely magical and can erode people's hearts. However, when the scroll is closed, the erosion of people's hearts will gradually weaken, and although the devil is deeply rooted and cannot extricate itself, it can at least maintain a certain degree of sobriety. Although Lu Ziyou has been crazy for a long time, I believe that he kept his heart at that time. Of course, it could also be because I just wished he was provoking me to kill him. ”

"The hope of the inherent goodness of human nature. Uncle Zhong said suddenly.

Jiang Ci nodded and said, "I also want to believe it, after all, he was once an iron-blooded border army." The border army is always the bloodiest. He continued: "Do you say, will it ...... Luo Sanyuan died on his own initiative?"

Li Suifeng said: "Actually, among the corpses by the Lianshui Bridge, one of them has a different technique. The Lu family will divide the muscles and bones, not only Lu Ziyou, but also Lu Ziwen. Maybe the person who really killed him was Lu Ziwen, who was also for revenge. And Lu Ziyou, who wanted to paint the scroll, did it on his behalf in order not to let his brother get involved. Although his technique is not as skilled as Lu Ziwen, he can also achieve the same effect by borrowing his martial arts realm. ”

If that's the case, he still thinks of brotherhood, and it can be regarded as some humanity. Jiang Ci said.

Su Yao didn't understand the meaning. Li Suifeng didn't tell Jiang Ci about Su Yao, and Jiang Ci's truth about the hanging corpse case at Lianshui Bridge was only limited to the fact that Lu Ziyou was the real murderer and the Fu family was the murderer who destroyed the corpse. She didn't react for a while, Li Suifeng threw out these inferences, whether it was to cover her up, or whether it was really true.

Uncle Zhong said: "People are complex, but on the rivers and lakes, right and wrong, good and evil are never the real reason for killing." Love, hate, hatred, and interest are. ”

Li Suifeng was silent.

"There's no need to dwell on whether Lu Ziyou deserves to die, or whether you should kill him. Uncle Zhong said: "In the rivers and lakes, what you need to grasp is not the reason for killing, but the germination of killing intent." ”

"For a chivalrous person, the killing intent is not lost and is not born. Treat others broadly, be strict and self-disciplined, take the right path as the key, take the people's hearts as the norm, keep the character and be determined, and sharpen the killing nature. If the killing intent starts, it will be killed. ”

Li Suifeng looked at the monk who suddenly appeared at the door of the small courtyard in a daze, not knowing what to say. When he came back to his senses, the mysterious monk had disappeared. He asked blankly, "You guys, do you see it......?"

"Like, I see. Jiang Ci and Su Yao said.

Uncle Zhong twisted his beard and said, "Little friend, you actually alarmed the personal disciples under the mountain chief seat of the Four Seas Academy. ”

"They are?"

"I don't understand the monk, I don't understand the Taoist, a monk together, and two personal disciples under the mountain chief's seat. ”

"They...... It's so strong. ”

"The old decay is in their hands, and they can't do it in three moves. Uncle Zhong said.

Li Suifeng was stunned for a while, and said, "Suddenly ran out to talk about the big truth, is there anything wrong with them here?"

"You have a weird accent. ”

——

Under the darkness of the night, Li Suifeng carefully unfolded the picture full of evil. Looking at the brushstrokes on the painting, Li Suifeng's heart was flooded with a trace of evil thoughts, wanting to take this painting scroll for himself, and wanting to slaughter all the people who knew the secret.

"Is this sharpening the murderous intent?" Li Suifeng raised the corners of his mouth, held his breath and strangled all this evil thought. He took out the brocade box from his sleeve and took out the Buddhist bead full of secrets. He placed the beads under the moonlight, and the moon on August 16 was incomparably round and translucent, and the bright moonlight reflected the mysterious projection on the scroll through the beads.

Li Suifeng could clearly see the overlap between the projection and the scroll.

Buddha beads and picture scrolls are really related!

The projection and ink painting are combined to form a map, which looks like a map of the islands in the eastern sea! However, the marks on the map are not clear.

Li Suifeng frowned. Buddha beads, picture scrolls, it seems that there is still one thing missing. The secret behind it is gradually outlined, but there is still a long way to go before the whole picture of the secret is grasped.

Li Suifeng always felt that he was arranged clearly. He suppressed the fear and anger in his heart, dispelled the confusion and cowardice in his mind, and grinned. "Grandpa always taught me elegance. But I have to admit that it is more simple and direct to scold. Li Suifeng thought to himself. He put away the beads and scrolls and looked up at the moonlight. Under the bright moonlight, a glimmer of light flashed under his eyes.

Jiang Ci looked at the jade pendant on his waist and fell into deep thought. "Father, what exactly do you want me to seek?"

Su Yao closed the case file and put it in the brazier. This is the case file that Li Suifeng stole from the Tibetan Scroll Pavilion. Su Yao looked at the case file that burned to ashes and did not speak.

Everything in Poyang County seems to be coming to an end.

"You say, could Lin Xiaoyue be the mastermind of all this? The mastermind of her escape from the Lin family's compound?" One day, Jiang Ci suddenly asked.

"That would be horrible. Li Suifeng said.

"Am I terrifying?" Su Yao squinted at Li Suifeng.

"Ahem...... Lin Xiaoyue was born with blocked meridians and could not practice martial arts. She lives in a simple house on weekdays, although she is a daughter, she is no different from a maid, shouldn't she...... Since she is cold to the Lin family, Luo Sanyuan and Lu Ziyou are dead, and they are helpless, so it is better to take her on the road. Li Suifeng coughed and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Do you have a crush on her face?" Su Yao suddenly asked.

Li Suifeng said: "I don't have it, but I think Jiang Ci may have." In the past three months, he has come here every three or five times. ”

"I'm just afraid that she'll kill herself. Jiang Ci said.

"Some people are unexpectedly. ”

"You're less yin and yang weird there!"

"Then you'll be honest. Li smiled brightly with the wind.

Li Suifeng and his party were not in a hurry to set off for Donghai County. Because Li Suifeng needs to recuperate from his injuries, he needs a solid foundation. They spent another three months in Poyang County until Li recovered from his injuries. At this moment, they were discussing Lin Xiaoyue - the day before their departure, when they came to say goodbye, Lin Xiaoyue suddenly decided to travel with them. It seems that this result is probably going to be agreed.

Take a boat down the river, there is a knife Huanye, but a few days of kung fu can reach the East China Sea. Speaking of Dao Huanye, he is a member of the Yuanliu clan, familiar with water, and his physique is extremely strong. After entering the demon, he ate the whole Poor Qi Heaven Destroying Skill, and he was lucky enough to save his life. Although there is no one in ten martial arts now, if you practice slowly, you will always recover within three or five years. After he knew about Lu Ziyou's plan, he didn't speak, but pondered for a long time in front of Lu Ziyou's tomb.

No one can guess the hearts of people.

Dao Huanye decided to return to the Jiuli Frontier and prepared to accept the punishment of deserting his post without permission. Before that, he drove Li Suifeng and his entourage to the East China Sea, and Quan should repay some kindness.

——

Donghai County is bordered by the sea in the east, the river estuary in the north, and there are many Caoyun wharves. On the side of the dock, in an inconspicuous teahouse, a group of people suddenly gathered.

"The surname is Chu, don't think that we are afraid of you!" The strong man with a meaty face yelled at an old man: "Our Haishamen is not easy to mess with!"

"What's the matter, the master of Ouchi has also been mixed up here?" The obscene old man with his right eye was completely white, and said while drinking tea, "You also want a piece of the pie?"

The man dressed in official uniform held a steel claw in his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "He is related to the big case of the Japanese Invaders, and I am ordered to arrest him." ”

A one-armed man with a few reckless men in leather robes stepped forward and said, "I don't care! If he takes something from my territory, he must spit it it out for me! Do you think I'm a bully from the noisy wind gang?" The wound on his arm was a new wound, and the red blood stains on the bandage were still spreading.

"Are you so excited?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man pushed the door in, laughing heartily. When they saw him, everyone was shocked. The man smiled: "What, didn't you expect me Gu Pinglan to come?"

"Sword Forging Sect Master, I didn't expect you to come too. In the corner of the teahouse, an old man with a grim face like an eagle vulture said, "If you want to stop me from avenging my son, I will kill you first." ”

"Don't get excited. Gu Pinglan smiled: "I'm also here to kill him." ”

"With you, you also want to move the people of my Chu family?" The white-haired old man in the center of the teahouse was furious! His robe was agitated, his sword was sheathed, and he let out bursts of chirping!

"Brother Chu......" The daughter of the teahouse owner sat at the back of the counter, shivering, tears rolling in her eyes. Panic and worry are all written on his face.

In the tense teahouse, the teahouse owner with a rickety back is a little out of place. The thin body shuttled between the masters, calmly serving them tea.
