Chapter 352 Ground Pot Chicken (3)
Wen Mingtang's surprise lasted only a moment, then he smiled and laughed at himself: "How can a public cook do these things?"
Lin Fei glanced at the girl noncommittally: This matter indeed has nothing to do with her now, but what will happen in the future is difficult to say.
Zhao You on the side still lowered his head and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the soft but not rotten ground pot chicken stewed in the pot. This time he picked up a chicken foot, which easily fell off the bone in a sip and suck. The meat of the long stewed foot was soft. Glutinous and tempting, Zhao You gnawed on the chicken feet, eating them quite indulgently and attentively.
Wen Mingtang glanced at Zhao You subconsciously: He was really focused on nothing else. It was as if she and Lin Fei were talking about these things without hearing them.
Lin Fei said: "Don't worry, he won't talk nonsense." There was a reason why Zhao Youneng was taken by Zhao Mengzhuo and him.
Wen Mingtang said "Oh" and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, Quan asked as if Zhao You didn't exist: "Since Lin Shaoqing took the initiative to ask, are you willing to tell me the secret that Jiang Chengzu used to save his life?"
"I want to, but I can't." Lin Fei said to her, paused, and then added, "I can't for the time being."
Wen Mingtang: "..."
Just when he was about to be disappointed, he heard Lin Fei speak again: "If the secret told by Jiang Chengzu is proven to be true, many dignitaries and officials in the capital will be imprisoned. But your father's matter can be vindicated."
Although I can't tell the secret directly, I can reveal a few other things.
When Wen Mingtang heard this, he said "Oh" without even raising his eyelids.
This dull reaction made Lin Fei raise his eyebrows in surprise.
After Wen Mingtang saw his reaction, he took the initiative to explain without asking him to speak: "It doesn't matter whether it's against him or not. There's no one left in the Wen family, so it doesn't make any difference."
Lin Fei thought for a while and reminded her: "The family property can be returned."
Although this is a bit cheesy, it is also true.
Wen Mingtang rubbed his chin and said, "In this way, I don't have to think about buying a house. That's a good thing. It makes the burden on my shoulders lighter!"
The conversation between the two was indeed a bit tacky, but no one disliked the other. After talking about the tacky things, Wen Mingtang asked Lin Fei again: "It seems that there is a lot of resistance in this matter?"
She did not miss Lin Fei's original words just now - "Many powerful officials in the capital will be sacked." Everyone has thought about the good days, how can they be willing to fall from the clouds just like this? He must have tried every means to prevent it, so...
"Prince Liyang's Mansion is also among them?" The events before and after were all in confusion in his mind, but when Lin Fei reminded him, it seemed as if there was an invisible line connecting them all.
Wen Mingtang reacted: "Princess Liyang's treatment of me is not just as simple as being inexplicably jealous."
Lin Fei took a sip of the fermented rice soup and said calmly: "Girls like Princess Liyang are not shut up in the boudoir. They can't go out or step outside the second door. Cui Yingying only has Zhang Sheng in her head."
No matter how influenced by Yuelao's red thread, the young lady of the Yin family who had never offended her could be tricked into doing this, Princess Liyang was not a good person at heart.
With her temperament, she would not let go of the "Yingying Yanyan" who dared to get involved with the romantic talents she fell in love with, but on the other hand, she secretly used tricks and tried every means to tie the romantic talents to her side.
Princess Liyang has a lot to do. Among other things, there are many Yingying Yanyan around the group of "Sister Mingtang", and they start to take action one by one. It will be Wen Mingtang's turn for a while.
The reason why it was Wen Mingtang's turn to bear the brunt was because Wen Mingtang was more than just this one thing to her.
Wen Mingtang swallowed more of the fermented rice soup in his mouth and said: "I know what reason Du Lingmou had to persuade her. It turns out that Du Lingmou didn't go to persuade her at all. As long as I, the public cook of Dali Temple, Just tell her about becoming a cook."
Princess Liyang was not a knife in Du Lingmou's hand, he just wanted to get rid of the thorn in her side.
Although he figured out the cause and effect, there were some things that Wen Mingtang still couldn't figure out.
"I am the only one who died in the Wen family. Oh, there is also Wen Xiutang who lives in an unknown golden house. Princess Liyang does not deal with Jiang Chengzu who revealed the secret, nor does she think of ways to cover up the secret. What are you doing to deal with me?" Wen Mingtang said, "My belongings were carefully searched when I entered the palace. Even if there was any evidence, it has long been gone. Even if I are killed, this matter will not be solved!"
Lin Fei was noncommittal when he heard the words. He just paused and then said: "When Jiang Chengzu told this secret to save his life, there were not many people present, and His Majesty also strictly prohibited us from spreading it. Now the people don't know about it. ,Can……"
At this point, Lin Fei stopped. The girl had already guessed the rest of the words without him having to say them.
"But judging from the fact that Prince Liyang's palace was suddenly plotted against me and Princess Liyang's inexplicable confrontation with me, it seems that the people are not aware of this matter, but everyone who should know it is aware of it." Wen Mingtang continued, "His Majesty's ban on foreign news only prohibits the common people from doing anything."
Your Majesty is not guarding against the common people, but those who already know these things.
After sighing for a few times, "It's not easy even for the emperor," the two of them talked about the rumors that made people in the noodle shop react so strangely.
Rumor has it that there are always people who are somehow pulled into the palace and get into trouble, and it is the evil spirits in the palace who are causing trouble. When Wen Mingtang heard this, he originally wanted to laugh, but he was inexplicably dragged into the palace to cause trouble. He thought that the owner of the palace knew what was going on better than the innocent soul.
The people who plotted against Prince Liyang's Mansion obviously hit the mark on Prince Liyang's Mansion, making it difficult for them to tell the difference. If the rumor only contains this sentence, it will only become a joke after dinner. The trouble is what is said after this sentence.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, yes, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival again. Wen Mingtang felt that there were more things happening during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. This is the case with the Beauty Lamp Case, this is the case currently under investigation in Dali Temple, and this is the case with what happened in Prince Liyang's Mansion.
Rumor has it that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Princess Liyang's elder brother and the only male in the royal family's generation was haunted by an evil spirit and contracted a strange disease. He has been bedridden.
It is true that Prince Liyang is ill in bed, but it has nothing to do with some strange illness or an innocent soul seeking his life. He was having a romantic affair with a flower girl in a brothel, but he didn't realize that the flower girl had an infatuated benefactor. When he heard that the flower girl had been summoned by Prince Liyang, he immediately got excited and brought a knife into the house to kill the couple. "Yuanyang", I don't know how the process went. I only know that the result was that both Hua Niang and the benefactor died, and the prince was stabbed twice. The person was not dead, but the reason for the injury was really hard to tell, so he just told the outside world that he had contracted a strange disease and was currently in bed in the palace recovering from his injuries.
Just like the previous "inexplicable pull into the palace", telling the truth is not much better than the rumored strange illness, not to mention, I heard that the palace had put a lot of effort into solving this matter.
"The fatal wound on Hua Niang's body was caused by the knife of the benefactor, and the fatal wound on the benefactor's body was caused by Hua Niang's hairpin. Even the two of them still had knife wounds, and the palace also handed over the guard who did it. ." When Lin Fei said this, he couldn't help but shake his head, "The guard himself said it was to protect the master. The prince was seriously injured and unconscious at the time. No one ordered him to do it. He insisted that he did it himself, and we can't do anything. "
After explaining the matter, Lin Fei added: "That's not all the cleverness of the rumor. After the palace couldn't deny the first two sentences, the next words of the rumor are the key to putting the entire palace on fire. .”
