Chapter 75 Mung Bean Soup (1)

Wen Mingtang came out of the back door of the Folk Music Jiaofang and turned onto Chunfeng Street. He passed through Chunfeng Street and entered Yongjiafang, then crossed the main road and entered Zhuquefang.

Dali Temple is right at the entrance of Zhuquefang. It is very close. There are guards coming and going all day long. It is always the safest place.

So...it's time to go back later.

Wen Mingtang crossed Chunfeng Street and entered Yongjiafang, and then slowly wandered around Yongjiafang.

Wandering from shop to shop, when he walked out of a spice shop owned by a foreigner, Wen Mingtang walked to the mung bean soup vendor queuing at the entrance of Yongjia Fangfang, and lined up behind the pedestrians.

…

…

After eating the morning meal, Liu Yuan and others left Dali Temple.

Although Manager Song was arrested yesterday, it was only confirmed that he was the murderer of Team Leader Huang. And instead of the whole case not being solved, there are even more mysteries.

All that matters is to ask the people in the military camp near Salt Lake City what happened twenty-five years ago.

Of course, Liu Yuan and others would not make a special trip to Salt Lake City for this purpose. The journey to Salt Lake City was far away, tens of thousands of miles away, and the round trip took several months. Even if there are any clues, they have to be wiped out, so naturally it won't work.

Therefore, several people came out this time, firstly to deliver news to the Salt Lake City Military Camp, and secondly, to look for veterans from the Salt Lake City Military Camp to ask about the situation.

If you want to ask if there are any veterans from Salt Lake City in Chang'an City, you have to go to the Ministry of War Yamen to find out where the retired veterans are.

They were lucky. They went to the Ministry of War and learned that there were indeed several veterans who had retired from Salt Lake City in Chang'an City. They copied down the addresses of those veterans and planned to find a place to have lunch first. After lunch, they Follow the found address to find the person and investigate the situation.

Looking at the nearby shops, there were quite a few grocery stores, but not much restaurants. Liu Yuan turned to look at Lin Fei who came out with them, and asked: "Lin Shaoqing, there are no outstanding restaurants or restaurants in Yongjiafang. , why not take a few more steps to the main road, we have some pretty good restaurants in Zhuquefang."

Lin Fei didn't say yes or no immediately. He just stopped and stood in the middle of the road with Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu. He looked up at the sun above his head and suddenly said, "It's almost noon."

Liu Yuan lowered his head and glanced at the shadow at his feet, which was so short that it was almost negligible, and casually agreed: "Yes, it's almost noon!"

The hottest time of the day is coming soon. At this time, the sun shines directly above your head and the shadow is the shortest.

Of course, it is not only the shadows of people that are short, but also the streets and buildings. All the shadows will disperse, revealing the people hiding in them.

The pedestrians in front took the mung bean soup and left, and it was Wen Mingtang's turn.

"Five cents," said the mung bean soup vendor.

Wen Mingtang said "hmm" and reached into his arms.

…

Shangfeng raised his head to look at the sun seriously. Liu Yuan looked at the slightly empty surroundings and suggested: "Lin Shaoqing, should we move to the side? We are standing in the middle of the road in case a carriage comes. Isn’t it blocking the way?”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Lin Fei could speak, Bai Zhu on the side said "Hey" and said, "Master Wen!"

The words "Master Wen" not only shocked him and reached out to touch Wen Mingtang in his arms, but also shocked Lin Fei and Liu Yuan who were looking at the sun.

Seeing Wen Mingtang buying mung bean soup, Liu Yuan instinctively waved to her and said hello: "Master Wen..."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Mingtang, who had only smiled when he saw them a moment ago, changed his expression the next moment.

Before Liu Yuan could react, a powerful force pushed him forward. He stumbled forward and fell to the ground. A cold light flashed in front of him. Liu Yuan, who realized something, instinctively exclaimed: "Oh, I'm going! "

Wen Mingtang, not far away, also expressed the same emotion.

He originally thought that meeting them was an unexpected surprise, but before he could be happy, when he saw the masked man suddenly rolling down from the roof of a nearby shop, Wen Mingtang realized that something was wrong. Then he saw not far ahead, a man with the same expression on his face. When Lin Fei, who was calm and composed, looked behind her and a trace of surprise flashed across his face, she knew something was wrong.

Because of Lin Fei's expression, Wen Mingtang, who knew what was going on without looking, subconsciously hid in the mung bean barrel nearby.

The long knife was thrown at the crowd. The shocked mung bean soup stall owner and the pedestrians who were queuing up to buy mung bean soup screamed and ran away.

Wen Mingtang took out the sharpened boning knife from his arms and held it in his hand.

Looking at the five sturdy men who jumped out from the opposite side, and then looking back at the two masked men on her side, Wen Mingtang suddenly felt that she was at a slight loss.

They originally thought they were lucky when they met Liu Yuan, but they didn't expect that the other person, like her, was also using his body as a bait to lure the murderers who were chasing him.

Don't hide in the shops on the street. Going in there is useless except catching turtles in the urn, and it will also kill the people in the shops.

Not everyone would dare to use one's body as bait, but Lin Fei, who usually had Zhao You at his side, suddenly pulled out a soft sword from his waist and faced the murderer. The sword was decorated with precious stones. The soft sword that looked like decoration was not weak at all in his hand. Under the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, he actually successfully stopped the five burly men.

Even Wen Mingtang was a little surprised by this. When Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu came to their senses, they quickly ran towards Wen Mingtang.

The two murderers who were chasing her behind her were knocked away with one blow. Seeing Wen Mingtang hiding behind the mung bean barrel, he slashed at the mung bean barrel again.

Wen Mingtang rolled on the spot, dodged, and joined Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu.

The five murderers who were chasing them were temporarily blocked by Lin Fei, and the two here wanted them to deal with them. The murderer who had knocked over the mung bean barrel came towards this direction again.

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu each picked up a wooden stick on their way here and stood in front of her to greet her.

It's just that the two of them are just weak scholars after all. When faced with such thugs who specialize in this way, they are at a disadvantage. The wooden sticks are easily chopped by the opponent, and the huge force of the split makes the two people's jaws go numb. The two wooden sticks Immediately he took off his hands and flew out.

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu's faces turned pale as they saw the ferocious murderer opposite them slashing at them again.

It’s over! You don’t want to explain it here!

Just as she was thinking this, she saw a figure suddenly appeared behind the murderer. She raised her hand towards the murderer and stabbed him.

The sharp boning knife was inserted into the brain stem from the back of the neck, neatly cutting off the murderer's life.

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu were stunned.

Before the two of them could react, Wen Mingtang threw away the boning knife that had just cut off the murderer's life, picked up the long knife of the dead murderer, turned around and took away the other murderer who was chasing her behind her, and turned towards the scuffle. Lin Fei ran towards the other side with the five murderers.
