Chapter 389 Full Fish Feast (2)

It was supposed to be a joyful and festive January, but such a tragedy happened. Living people like Tangyuan who had done nothing and were dressed in mourning clothes would be shunned when they walked out, and they would be cursed and attacked.

But now, looking at more and more pedestrians gathering around him, Wen Mingtang only felt that the scene in front of him was inexplicably dazzling.

In Furong Garden, the busiest "wealth place", most of the pedestrians are dressed in bright and rich clothes, and they have no worries about food and clothing. The pedestrians who are usually most taboo about these "unlucky things" are gathering here regardless of their usual taboos. Come, give some advice and watch.

Wen Mingtang's mind was in chaos. Looking at Zhao Mengzhuo lying on the ground, calmly looking at the world, there seemed to be a lump of earth condensing in his heart, blocking his heart. He could not express his emotions, and the discomfort and sourness gradually came up.

During the evening meal, the people who were talking and moving on the top floor of the Star Building just a moment ago were separated from them by life and death in the blink of an eye.

There was a commotion all around. There were people watching the excitement, and some were pointing out the "star-catching building that ordinary people should not approach" where Zhao Mengzhuo fell. They loudly showed off that they saw people passing by shouting that this was the building that fell from the roof. The "nobles" below; and the brightly dressed dignitaries who came to inquire from the Furong Garden opposite. They were both men and women. They came on the red carpet laid out from the entrance of the Furong Garden and looked at the people lying on the ground. Zhao Mengzhuo covered his mouth in surprise, then lowered his head and whispered.

Zhao Mengzhuo's identity as Minister of Dali Temple is there. There are many people who know him among so many powerful people. The word "Dali Temple" rings in his ears from time to time in the noisy and trivial chatter.

But even though there were many people who knew about it, no one stepped forward to come forward as Zhao Mengzhuo was lying on the ground.

Wen Mingtang listened as Zhao You beside him argued angrily with the boy from Zhaixinglou who blocked his way: "I am the servant of Dali Temple. Mr. Zhao is right there right now. How can I not be allowed to come forward?"

The waiters at the Star-Zhaing Tower are also tall and powerful. Those who can prevent the crowd from approaching the Star-Zhaing Tower are more skilled guards than waiters serving tea and water.

The other party stretched out his hand to stop him from advancing, and only repeated one sentence in his mouth: "This is our boss's territory. It will only be completed when our boss comes!"

The yamen of Dali Temple and the government are obviously not important in the eyes of these people. Only their boss is the most important existence beyond the yamen and government.

Seeing those guys pushing and shoving Zhao You while still not letting pedestrians around him get close, Wen Mingtang calmed down and winked at Ah Bing. Ah Bing immediately understood and ran out of the crowd, running towards Dali Temple. go.

After A Bing left, Wen Mingtang loosened his clenched fists and wiped his robes with his sweaty palms: That's all. Although those guys only had eyes for their boss and no one else, they never let anyone else get close to them. Zhao Mengzhuo lying on the ground.

In this way, the scene can be said to be intact and has not been damaged.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw a group of people hurriedly walking out of the Zhai Xing Tower. Looking at the rich or expensive clothes, Wen Mingtang suddenly felt a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment, the pedestrian was seen walking quickly from the door of the building. The two guys who were pushing and pushing Zhao You to prevent the "Dali Temple officer" from approaching seemed to be blind to the pedestrian's movements as he approached. In general, just ignore it.

In the blink of an eye, the pedestrians walked up to Zhao Mengzhuo, and then they all squatted down to touch Zhao Mengzhuo.

There was a "boom" in Wen Mingtang's mind, and he subconsciously blocked the exit: "Wait!" He was about to step forward, but several similarly tall guys walked out of the Star Reaching Building, stopping Wen Mingtang and several others who were about to step forward. The footsteps of pedestrians in front of me.

The passerby squatted down and touched Zhao Mengzhuo casually. Someone patted Zhao Mengzhuo's body and said "Brother Zhao?"; someone stepped forward and felt Zhao Mengzhuo's breath again and again, and then called out in the direction of the Star Building Tower behind him. "Come here." After another waiter came out slowly, those people said, "Go get the doctor!"

Some people muttered "How could this be so" with a look of disbelief on their faces, while adjusting Zhao Mengzhuo's robes, with red eyes and tears.

Wen Mingtang looked at the reaction of this group of well-dressed nobles, and his heart grew colder: Zhao Mengzhuo fell from the building in full view of the public, but these people wantonly destroyed the murder scene in full view of the public.

Who would believe this group of people if they were not the ones who argued and pushed Zhao Mengzhuo on the top floor?

The Dali Temple Yamen, who is responsible for all major murder cases in Darong, first says to protect the murder scene every time it arrives.

But now, the Dali Temple Minister, the highest-ranking official in the entire Dali Temple Yamen, died here, and his murder scene was destroyed in such a way.

This is an honest conspiracy!

Wen Mingtang felt extremely sad and stared at every movement of the row of well-dressed nobles. Those who adjusted their robes and patted their bodies carefully noted down.

…

When the Dali Temple officer came to look for Lin Fei, Lin Fei was following his brother, preparing to apologize to Duke Jingguo who left the banquet in anger on New Year's Eve.

Duke Jingguo's anger was almost gone until today. He listened with a cold face as the father and son swore that this incident would never happen again in the future.

Of course, this incident seemed to be due to the unfilial piety of Marquis Jingyun and his son, who "defeated" their ancestral business without telling Duke Jingguo, and Prince Lin was transferred to the Yamen. But the fact is that after Duke Jingyun became angry on New Year's Eve, Marquis Jingyun went to the country. The government told the whole story.

This matter has nothing to do with "unfilial piety", it is simply that it is difficult to violate the holy will. Although Duke Jingguo was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to give him a step and give up.

When your Majesty was the crown prince, he had quite a lot of tricks to deal with the city. Compared with the previous emperor, it can be described as a world of difference.

But such a monarch is more difficult to guess the holy will than the mediocre people like the late emperor.

After Marquis Jingyun and Prince Lin apologized one after another, it was Lin Fei's turn. Compared to his father and brother, he is just venting his anger.

Duke Jing's cold face had already softened after Marquis Jingyun and Prince Lin apologized. He only waited for Lin Fei to bring the tea cup over and say a few soft words and guarantees before he was ready to let the matter go. Unexpectedly, just as Lin Fei picked up the tea cup, a boy rushed in. Before he could salute Duke Jing and others, he hurriedly ran towards Lin Fei and shouted: "Master, it's not good, come out." It’s a murder!”

Duke Jing, whose expression had just softened, froze. Then he saw Lin Fei put aside the tea cup he had just picked up, turned around and asked the boy, "What happened?"

Duke Jingguo's frozen face completely darkened.
