Chapter 115: The dragon roars, the tiger roars, and the crane makes the wind
Then the door to the morgue creaked open, and a tall, black-and-purple-faced officer entered, about fifty years of age. He stood by the door, looked at the few people in the room with suspicion, and asked, "Are you—"
Tang Yu replied on his behalf: "This is Lord Lang Lin, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, I am the arrest of the Heavenly Mansion, and in order to solve the case, I came to investigate the body of the deceased Song Qingyang......
The messenger sighed and said, "My surname is Mao, and I am the state government who specializes in managing this mortuary." Just now I heard a movement here, and I thought it was a corpse, so I hurried over - it turned out to be a few masters. ”
Lin Fanghe's face was gloomy: "Do you often cheat corpses?"
"Where, I haven't met in a hundred years. Lao Mao Le explained, "There was a time when a girl in a grocery store in the city hanged herself because of her unsatisfactory marriage. They were sent here because it was too late, and they would not be able to autopsy until the next day. Who knew that she lay down for most of the night, and then she woke up slowly, and crawled out with a stumble, and touched the errand room......"
Tang Yu sighed: "Then it doesn't scare people?"
Lao Mao's emotions came up, and his eyebrows fluttered: "It's not good, but I wasn't on duty that day." The brothers were drinking tea and playing cards in the house, humming a little song, and from this side of the morgue, they suddenly broke into a woman with a disheveled hair and a pale face! This frightened the whole group, whining and screaming, running and jumping, and the remaining one was turned on the spot!"
Lin Fanghe interrupted him and said, "This is your negligence, when you don't investigate the matter, the door of the morgue should be locked with a lock." After a pause, he added, "But your omission can save a young girl's life, and it is a good deed." ”
"Yes, yes, I will lock the door from now on. Lao Mao nodded, and as soon as he spoke, a strong smell of wine erupted from his mouth. He was not firm on his heels, slanted a pair of red eyes, and said, "I thought, anyway, those people who are sent here are all honest and beneficial, even if they don't close the door, they can't run away." So ......"
Lin Fanghe was no longer willing to deal with him, and took the lead out of the morgue, Tang Yu and Chen Fangfang also followed behind. The three of them left the government and came out into the street.
The rain outside has stopped.
It's getting dark.
Lin Fanghe was depressed: "These errands are perfunctory and not serious at all." Then he glanced at Chen Fangfang again and asked, "Where do you live?" Do you want to go to dinner together?"
Chen Fangfang smiled slightly, and brushed the curled green silk in front of her forehead with her slender fingers. She shook her head and said, "I don't bother you with this, I won't sleep on the street anyway." As for eating, I don't dare to admit that a wanted criminal and heinous gang leader like me actually dined with a dignified court official. If this matter is going to get out, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the good future of the senior brother......" After speaking, he swaggered away.
Lin Fanghe sighed and ignored it. He waved his hand and motioned for Tang Yu to cross the street: "Let's go, there are a few restaurants across the street, let's go eat something?"
Tang Yu made a slight move: "My lord, these days after coming out, I don't have a few dollars left in my pocket." Why don't I go buy a few baked cakes, and let's go back and eat tea with it. ”
Lin Fanghe looked at him and was quite puzzled: "You are out of tolerance, doesn't Ying Tianfu have an additional subsidy?" Besides, you still have monthly silver, isn't this enough to spend?"
"You don't know, I only have five taels of silver a month. Tang Yu hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully, "I also have an elderly father-in-law in the countryside, surnamed Guo, who is over sixty years old this year. The man is old and his legs and feet are not good, so I have to send four taels of silver to his old man every month......"
Lin Fanghe nodded and walked across the street. turned around and greeted Tang Yu: "You don't have to worry about money, just follow me." Today I have a treat. ”
Tang Yu was stunned: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?"
"What's wrong with this, I'm not a big official, a few hundred taels a month. I'm alone, and I can't spend it all. It's just that you're here to help me spend a little. ”
During the conversation, the two came to a wine shop on the main street, Lin Fanghe looked up and saw clearly that there was a black lacquer bronzing sign hanging on the door of the wine shop: Spring breeze is not excessive. He turned around and called Tang Yu and said approvingly: "This name is good, it seems ordinary, but in fact it is elegant and vulgar." This is it. ”
After that, he walked into the house with Tang Yu.
Although the store is not large, the interior layout is very exquisite, simple and elegant. The tables, chairs and benches used are made of the finest wood, painted with transparent varnish, and depicted with dragons and phoenixes. A nanmu screen is written with the drinking songs of the poets of the previous generation, and the cultural atmosphere is strong. It seems that literati and scholars often come. Lin Fanghe and Tang Yu entered the house, and the guy who ran the hall greeted him with a smile and stretched out his hand: "The second master is here, please come inside." ”
After the two sat down, the guy immediately presented tea and poured it one by one: "Master, what kind of dishes do you use?"
Lin Fanghe glanced at it and said, "Your restaurant is not large, but it is clean and refreshing, and the taste is good." I'm afraid that it is also one of the best in Chuzhou City, right?"
The guy looked proud: "Of course, you really got what you said, from the five-grade prefect to the peddler pawns, they all came to us to enjoy the light." ”
"Since the wine shop is unique, I believe the wine will not be bad, right?"
"That's natural, daughter red, bamboo leaf green, golden plate dew, lotus stamen, autumn dew white, Hantan incense, all kinds of well-known wines, what do you want to drink!"
"Is there Shaoxing rice wine?" Lin Fanghe looked at the guy.
"How not. The guy shook his head and said, "How much do you want?"
"Let's start with a jar. ”
"Alright. ”
Tang Yu was anxious, and intercepted: "My lord, we are on official business, so we still don't drink, right?" Lin Fanghe came to a private room and pulled the curtain into the house. He stepped forward, pulled out a chair from under the table, sat down, and said, "Drink less, don't worry." ”
The guy hesitated, leaned in and asked, "What are you two coming for?"
"You can't drink rice wine without meat. Lin Fanghe turned to Tang Yu and asked, "Do you eat mutton?" Tang Yu nodded. He turned around and instructed his men: "Let's have a sauce mutton first, a charcoal smoked chicken, oh, it's not good to be meaty." Then some sour and spicy cabbage, red oil bamboo shoots - eat first, not enough to add. ”
"Okay. The guy trotted and shouted: "A jar of rice wine, a sauce mutton, a charcoal smoked chicken, plus a plate of hot and sour cabbage and red oil bamboo shoots......"
As soon as the guy left, Tang Yu said, "My lord, this runner shouts so beautifully, like singing." ”
"It's also a kung fu. ”
After a while, the man brought the food and drinks, and placed them on the table. Lin Fanghe said: "Little brother has worked hard. After the guy finished serving, he bowed his waist: "You're welcome, two masters, use it slowly." You're lucky today, you're here, and the shop is offering a delicious dish of 'Deep-fried Yellow Croaker', which is free of charge......"
Lin Fanghe didn't feel strange, and said, "Dare to ask little brother, why is this?"
The guy smiled and said kindly, "Today is the 10th anniversary of the opening of our store. After a while, not only will there be handsome guys and beauties performing songs and dances, but the popular female singer Tian Tian will present the award-winning golden song "Love You in My Heart". In addition, Mr. Long, the largest shareholder of the restaurant, will also come to the scene and deliver a warm and grand speech in his busy schedule. ”
"It's so hot. Lin Fanghe took a sip of wine and couldn't help asking, "May I ask what is the name of this Mr. Long?"
"He's a well-known and famous person. When he was young, he followed the emperor to open the country, stepped on both sides of the Huai River, and was invincible in the world. ”
"The dragon is in the field?" Lin Fanghe's heart sank.
