Chapter 197 Crab Pot (1)

During the entire Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, as many as twenty-three young ladies came to report missing. Except for two young ladies who found them after the Lantern Festival ended, the other twenty-one young ladies were all missing.

At this time, Liu Yuan and others, who did not know that Lin Fei had taken over the case, were surrounding the won beauty lamp and lamented: "In the final count, we were only a few picks less than the third one. If... eh ! I lost a lot of money in my life!"

Liu Yuan was not the only one who felt so sad. Everyone agreed. If you take the money back to the "Ji Da Accounting Room" in the public kitchen, you may be able to buy back how much braised duck, sugar-fried chestnuts and other snacks!

The beauty lantern, which is hard to find in ordinary times, is naturally beautiful. The beauties on the octagonal palace lantern are so lifelike that even after looking at them for a long time, they become like this.

They didn't have any "elegant" literati here, and it became stale after a while. Everyone hung the beauty lamp in the lobby and continued to do their own things.

While sorting out the files in his hands and chatting, the topic involuntarily turned to the chef's lunch today.

"I just went out to pay respects and came back and passed by the public kitchen yard. I saw our 'Ji Da Accounting Office' bringing the ingredients from the village. What do you think it is?" said the servant who had just gone out and squeezed towards everyone. He opened his eyes, opened his arms, stood up and walked a few steps sideways.

This "sideways walking" action is really eye-catching, and people will guess it immediately with just one glance, and they will be surprised and say: "Could it be that a crab is coming?"

Counting the days, it’s time for the crabs on this village to come.

The guard nodded and said happily: "Today I also saw Master Wen going to get a casserole. This method is different from the usual steaming method in previous years."

When I think of the crabs made by Master Wen, I am really looking forward to it!

Wen Mingtang, who was mentioned by the guards, sneezed, sat down, and seriously began to brush the "crabs" in the basket.

There are many ways to make crabs, including steaming them, boiling them in water, making them into aged Huadiao to make drunken crabs, or making a warm pot of meat crabs like hers.

These recipes are all delicious! After all, crabs are very delicious to begin with, and it’s hard to eat them no matter how you cook them.

But now that he has come to Da Rong, since the chefs in Chang'an City can make the first few recipes and many people have eaten them, Wen Mingtang decided to make a new style that has never been seen before for "everyone in Dali Temple".

In this room, Wen Mingtang and others were seriously brushing crabs and preparing to make meat crab stew. In the other room, they chatted for a while, and were still lamenting that "they have a half-day of leisure, and the more leisure they have, the more addictive they become." However, Liu Yuan and others "can't take any more leisure time." Only then did I know that the disappearance of the young lady from Jingzhao Mansion was under the control of Dali Temple.

Not only did he take care of it, Lin Shaoqing had already brought a "suspect" into Dali Temple yesterday, and now he is waiting for interrogation!

When he followed Lin Fei into the prison of Dali Temple and saw Yuan Erlang, he saw Yuan Erlang shouting "there are cockroaches" at the jailers!

The jailers in that compartment were also quick-witted. One of them, who had quick eyes and quick feet, immediately caught up with the scurrying cockroach and sent it directly to reincarnation!

Genjiro almost fainted after seeing this action. He pointed at the moving guard with trembling fingers: "You...you..."

"What are you talking about?" the jailer said impatiently, "Aren't you afraid?" He kicked the cockroach with his foot and said impatiently, "Aren't you not afraid anymore if you die?"

Genjiro's face turned pale when he saw this scene.

At this moment, Lin Fei walked in with Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu.

Glancing at Yuan Erlang, Liu Yuandong and Bai Zhu couldn't help but shake their heads: This young man with tender skin and tender flesh is really interesting! It would be strange if he was timid. He would spend money to buy his life for his sister without hesitation, and he would gouge out people's eyes every time he opened his mouth. It would be strange if he was timid. But let's say he was courageous. He was killed by a Cockroaches can be frightened and turn pale, which seems to have nothing to do with the three words "courage".

This Yuanjiro is really unlikable! Lin Shaoqing has already sent people to Jiangling to inquire about Yuan Erlang's past and see if he has done any evil things in the past. If he has done it, he will simply "stay" in Dali Temple for an extra year and a half. alright.

Yuan Erlang didn't know Liu Yuantong and Bai Zhu's secret grievances at this time. When he saw Lin Fei and others coming in, his pale face softened a little and he called out: "Lin Shaoqing is here?"

Lin Fei said "hmm" and looked at him calmly.

Seeing this calm look in Yuan Erlang's eyes, he immediately got excited and started to defend himself: "I'm really unjust. I never sent anyone to kidnap those missing ladies!"

Lin Fei said "hmm" again, looked at him, and asked: "Taoist priest Lin Yuanguan has confessed that you once sent three women to him, asking him to do this to extend your sister's life, right?"

When Lin Fei mentioned the words "Lin Yuanguan", Yuan Erlang's face suddenly turned pale. When Lin Fei finished speaking, his lips trembled when he met Lin Fei's gaze. , and then stammered and said: "Lin...Lin Shaoqing really has great powers, I...I'm just worried about my sister..."

What a load of nonsense! Liu Yuan looked at it and couldn't help interrupting him: "Who cares whether you are worried about your sister or not? What I want to ask is where you got those three women!"

That’s right! When the pale-faced Yuan Erlang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I bought it from Yazi, a man from the east of the city!"

Glancing at Lin Fei who was too lazy to speak, Liu Yuan immediately understood and took the initiative to step forward and ask: "Where is Ren Yazi?"

Yuanjiro reported an address.

This address was exactly the same as the ones reported by those women, and the building was already empty!

Liu Yuan frowned and looked at Yuan Erlang who was relieved, and said: "What I want to ask is where you found that person Yazi!"

Yuan Erlang heard this and said hurriedly: "The streets in the east of the city!"

What's the difference between this answer and not saying anything?

Liu Yuan: "..."

Seeing that his colleague was about to get angry, Bai Zhu on the side saw this and said quickly: "What I want to ask you is how you know that Ren Yazi," he said, "I'm afraid there are some problems with the business that Ren Yazi is doing!"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Erlang's face turned pale again, and he stammered: "I...I don't know either! After leaving Lin Yuanguan, I originally wanted to find Ren Yazi, Because I am not familiar with the place, I am looking for someone to ask for directions..."

…

After asking Yuan Erlang, Liu Yuan's face looked very ugly when he came out of the prison.

According to Na Yuan Erlang's confession, he really thought that the old Taoist priest was an extraordinary person, so he wanted to spend two dollars to buy some women to take his sister's place.

Because they were unfamiliar with the place, the group went out to inquire about it. Early the next morning, they went to the east of the city. After asking for a while, they still found no one who knew about Ren Yazi. When they were worried, a middle-aged man who had been standing on the roadside for a long time came over and asked them if they were looking for Ren Yazi.

"We talked for a while, and the middle-aged man said that he was Renyazi, so we followed him! When we went to his place, we found that he was really the right age and good-looking." Yuan Erlang paused for a moment after he said this. After a pause, he hurriedly said, "This matter has nothing to do with my sister. She refused and stopped me many times!"

Recalling what Yuan Erlang just told him, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sneer: "Look at this irritable and evil young man, he actually cares about his sister's life! It's just that his sister's life is the only life, those who bought it with money Your servant’s life is not life at all!”
