Chapter 95 Slap Fried Rice (1)
The road from Dali Temple to home is a main road. The lanterns on the road poles are bright, and the guards of Dali Temple will pass by here from time to time.
So this road is very safe, from small to large. Tangyuan muttered, raised his head, and looked at the night not far ahead.
The lantern of the road stick illuminated the road ahead in the past, but tonight, under the mist, it made people feel cold for some reason.
Tang Yuan gathered his collar and walked forward.
The wind blew, the lanterns on the poles swayed, and the huge lantern shadows fell on the ground and swayed back and forth. Tangyuan slowed down, subconsciously took a deep breath, and tightened the corners of his clothes.
But at this moment, his mind couldn't help but think of the story Wen Mingtang told about the painted-skinned monster eating people. It was also like this at night when the night wind was swaying, and a figure suddenly walked out from the end of the alley.
Tangyuan pursed her lips, clenched her teeth subconsciously, and suddenly accelerated her pace, running towards home over the swaying pole lantern.
Soon! After passing through an alley entrance, we arrived home. The night wind blew in our ears. The moment we passed through the alley entrance, a figure stretched towards the alley entrance.
A dark shadow suddenly enveloped him, and Tang Yuan instinctively raised his head and looked towards the shadow.
Then, a scream echoed throughout the alley.
…
…
The next day was Wen Mingtang's rare day off, so the chef next to him took over the meal. Since there are currently only two chefs in the public kitchen of Dali Temple, the burden of preparing the morning meal falls on Master Sun.
Wen Mingtang didn't plan to go to the public kitchen to eat the morning meal cooked by Master Sun. He just took a rare moment of laziness and took a nap. After getting up, he picked up the mung bean cake he made yesterday afternoon and ate two pieces to cushion his stomach. Then I washed up, took my money bag, and prepared to go shopping.
After thinking about it maturely, I walked to the gate of Dali Temple. Before I could step out of the gate, a carriage covered with silk satin stopped at the gate of Dali Temple. Then, a familiar maid jumped out of the carriage. , walked towards Wen Mingtang.
Wen Mingtang couldn't help but frown when he saw her.
The maid seemed unaware and said directly: "Miss Wen, our beautiful girl..."
Before she finished speaking, Wen Mingtang glanced past her and looked behind her, calling out: "Liu Sicheng!"
The maid who was interrupted turned around and looked at Liu Yuan who was walking towards this side.
Liu Yuan looked at her and was about to speak when he caught sight of the maid from the corner of his eye and asked casually: "Who is this..."
Wen Mingtang said: "I don't know the maid of the clan sister from my secular music studio very well!"
Speaking of Wen Mingtang's clan sister, thinking of the inexplicable pursuit that day, Liu Yuan found it hard to have any good impression of this maid, and because Wen Mingtang said "not familiar", he simply ignored her and spoke directly He said to Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen, I'm looking for you! Follow me quickly!"
When Wen Mingtang heard this, he immediately raised his heels and followed Liu Yuan.
Seeing that the person was intercepted like this, the maid became anxious and tried to stop her: "Miss Wen, our beautiful lady has made an appointment with you to go to the hot springs at Zhuangzi outside the city today..."
Before he could finish his words, Liu Yuan interrupted him unceremoniously: "What kind of hot spring are you bathing in? Why bath in the hot spring after someone's death? If you want to bathe, let your pretty girl bathe by yourself. Master Wen will go with me to pick him up." Woolen cloth!"
The maidservant's face turned green and red after saying this, which made her look very ugly.
Liu Yuan ignored her, but stepped forward faster, leading Wen Mingtang forward.
Seeing that Wen Mingtang didn't even raise her head, and even walked away without saying hello to her when passing by the carriage. Wen Xiutang threw a tea cup angrily in the carriage. When the maid who invited her came back, she was still angry. Wen Xiutang slapped the maid without thinking and cursed: "Why can't you even invite someone?"
The maid screamed in pain, covered her face, lowered her eyelids to cover the emotions in her eyes, lowered her head and replied calmly: "That...that is the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. Miss Xunwen seems to have been involved in a life lawsuit or something." .”
Wen Xiutang's face was ugly. When she thought that she had not brought anyone there, she might have to face Prince Yu's anger when she went to Zhuangzi later. She felt aggrieved and angry. She cursed, "There are so many things!" and put down his hand. curtain.
Seeing this, the maid turned around and gave instructions to the coachman. Just as she was about to climb onto the carriage, she heard Wen Xiutang's voice coming from the carriage, "I want to be alone for a while, so just follow me by the side!"
The coachman who whipped his whip glanced at the maid, flicked his whip, and the carriage drove forward leisurely.
To be fair, this carriage doesn't move very fast, and you can keep up with it at a trot. But how can the maid who usually follows Wen Xiutang in the carriage travel such a long distance? Not to mention having to follow him directly out of the city!
The maid followed in embarrassment and glanced up at the carriage wrapped in silk beside her, with a hint of hatred in her eyes.
…
…
Wen Mingtang had no time to care about Wen Xiutang's dirty things here. He followed Liu Yuan to the entrance of the alley, and saw a few officers standing at the entrance of the alley. The tall people and the wall made it difficult to see clearly what was going on in the alley. What happened. All I saw was the guard standing next to him, sobbing, his eyes swollen into glutinous rice balls like walnuts.
As soon as he saw Wen Mingtang, Tang Yuan said "Wow" and cried again.
Wen Mingtang hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the crying glutinous rice ball aside, comforted him while looking up at Liu Yuan, and asked, "Liu Sicheng, what happened?"
Liu Yuan glanced at her and said, "Isn't it all your fault?"
Wen Mingtang was puzzled.
Liu Yuandao: "Did you tell her the story about the painted-skinned monster?"
Wen Mingtang nodded and was about to speak when Liu Yuan turned to the wall of guards behind him and said, "Everyone, give way!"
After hearing the news, the police officer behind the human wall made an opening. Through the opening, Wen Mingtang saw a body lying at the entrance of the alley. The corpse was that of a man, wearing a long-sleeved robe from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. His hair was also combed in a bun that was popular during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He looked exactly like people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties hundreds of years ago.
If you put this outfit in Da Rong, even in broad daylight, I am afraid it will attract a lot of people to watch, let alone at night.
The most terrible thing is that the corpse's face was covered with a layer of white powder and red lips. It looked gloomy in broad daylight.
"Is it like the evil ghost that has been practicing for hundreds of years crawling out of the coffin in the ghost story?" Liu Yuan said, taking another painting from the hands of a guard on the side, unfolding the scroll, and pointed at the piece of The blank scroll said to Wen Mingtang, "When we came over, a scroll fell next to the body."
At this point, Liu Yuan paused, looked at Wen Mingtang with a strange expression, and said, "The one who bumped into the body was Tangyuan. What did she see?"
Wen Mingtang looked down at the crying poor Tangyuan and asked Liu Yuan, "What did she see?"
Liu Yuan glanced at the frightened Tangyuan beside him and said, "She said she saw the monster lying on the ground from hundreds of years ago running out of this piece of paper!"
The Tangyuan who first discovered the body was a member of their Dali Temple. He originally thought this was a good thing, but after hearing about Tangyuan's "witnessing" process, Liu Yuan felt that it might be better if someone else discovered the body first!
This was the first time he heard such an outrageous witness statement!
