Chapter 10 Sour Plum Drink Packet (2)

The streets of Chang'an City are very lively at noon, especially the snack street where there are many restaurants and pubs.

A group of clerks who had just come out of Bingma Si Yamen finished their morning patrol and came to this snack street not far from Bingma Si Yamen for lunch.

Because I am a frequent visitor to this snack street, I have already figured out the cooking skills of various restaurants in this snack street.

Therefore, today a group of people stepped into the snack street and saw that the door of Zhao Ji Restaurant, which was usually "sparse", was crowded with people. They felt strange and couldn't help but come over to watch the excitement.

Amid the wall of people watching the excitement on the three floors inside and outside, there were still only a few scattered tables of diners sitting in the lobby of Zhao Ji Restaurant.

There are more people watching than diners!

The proprietress of Zhao Ji Restaurant, who was famous for being careless and greedy for petty gains, was standing there with a disheveled look on her face. Beside her, three green-robed officials in official robes from unknown yamen were talking to the proprietress.

The people around who witnessed the whole process excitedly recounted what had just happened.

"The boss's wife said that the sauerkraut was gone, and she said that the little girl took it...but the boss's daughter suddenly ran out and said that she took it..." Several common people winked at everyone as they spoke, with a knowing look on their faces.

He looked like, "It turns out that the chief minister of Dali Temple happened to be eating here. Didn't he want to sue the official? He is the official..."

After listening to the people recounting what had just happened, the people watching burst into laughter.

Thanks to Liu's usual "good" reputation, this is not the first time that the sauerkraut issue has been made a fuss about. Needless to say, everyone can guess pretty well.

However, Dali Temple officials did not rely on "guessing" like them to do things. They took a trip to the backyard and found the evidence.

When Mrs. Liu was hiding sauerkraut in the early morning, she passed by the vegetable plot in her backyard and left a large row of footprints. The footprints were exactly the same as the shoe size of Mrs. Liu's big feet, so she could not deny them. Moreover, those footprints later walked all the way back.

I have lost my own house, but it cannot be said that it is certain.

Not only that, Liu Yuan also found sauerkraut juice that had not completely dried up in the house of Liu and Zhao Dalang, proving that Liu and Zhao Dalang had eaten sauerkraut this morning.

"My son disappeared in the morning" does not match.

Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Yuan running around with a disheveled look on her face. She felt angry and couldn't help but said angrily: "What's wrong with me eating my own sauerkraut? Can't it be eaten with porridge?"

If the smelly girl named Wen hadn't gone out quietly in the morning, making her big pot of watery porridge so difficult to swallow, would she have had to dig out two spoonfuls of sauerkraut secretly and eat it?

It’s just that I didn’t try to dig up sauerkraut and left evidence such as sauerkraut juice.

Seeing the green-robed official in front of him talking non-stop about "definitely" and "conclusive evidence", Liu's forehead veins popped out.

She was not a good-tempered person to begin with, especially after marrying Zhao Dalang, a man who couldn't even beat him up, she didn't know how to write the word "forbearance". Whenever she didn't go her way, she would be beaten or scolded.

The habit of doing things has been engraved in my bones unconsciously.

Seeing that Liu Yuan was still talking in front of her, at this moment, instinctive habits overcame her rationality. Liu subconsciously reached out and pushed Liu Yuan towards her, and cursed: "I'll get my own sauerkraut."

What kind of stealing is this? You bitch, you are so long-winded..."

The scolding was interrupted by the sound of dishes falling to the floor.

After everyone's eyes paused for a moment on the fallen Liu Yuan, they invariably fell on Lin Fei behind him.

I had never seen this man with his back turned to everyone before, but I never thought that this person who was dining at the same table with the three Dali Temple ministers would be so handsome, as if he was a fairy.

At the moment, the banished immortal who looked otherworldly was holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand. He frowned as he looked down at the plate of "fried noodles with eggs" that Liu Yuan had thrown, causing it to fall all over the floor.

Said: "I haven't eaten one bite yet!"

The voice of a person who is like a banished immortal is like a jade stone knocking against each other. Even though it is a complaint, it is so pleasant to the ears.

It was only then that Mrs. Liu realized belatedly that she was not recommending Zhao Dalang, who was accustomed to beating and scolding, but an official.

Her face turned pale, and she secretly glanced at Liu Yuan who was being helped up in the other room. When she saw that he was just surprised and didn't touch the porcelain and yelled "it broke", Ms. Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, I heard Lin Fei, who was eating at the same table, speak out. He was determined to make a good sale, so he hurriedly said: "Then I'll just have another portion of the 'Egg Fried Noodles'!"

With Mrs. Liu's temperament, has she ever been so aggrieved? Glancing at Wen Mingtang, who was holding his arms and looking like it had nothing to do with him, Mrs. Liu was very angry in her heart: Since meeting this girl yesterday, she has made so many mistakes.

Did you get married? As a result, nothing was accomplished!

This girl seemed to be born to defeat her! Now the dirty water that was thrown out turned around and came back to her.

Mrs. Liu had no choice but to reduce the big matter to the smallest. This girl named Wen was very determined. If she couldn't get rid of her today, she would just have to find a way to deal with her later.

Therefore, facing Lin Fei, it was rare that Mr. Liu did not torment and act like a monster.

Liu Yuan, who was pushed in the other compartment, didn't pay attention to himself. He just couldn't help but muttered: "You framed this pickled cabbage..."

Mrs. Liu had long been impatient with the troubled Dali Temple Prime Minister, so after hearing this, she immediately sneered and said, "Even if I hid my own sauerkraut, which law can say I stole it?"

Liu Yuan was speechless with one sentence: This street shrew is a very scoundrel, and you really can’t do anything to her!

Seeing that Liu Yuan stopped talking, Mrs. Liu was happy, but Lin Fei, who was looking down at the "Egg Fried Noodles" in the other room, spoke up.

"What is your identity?" He looked at Mr. Liu and asked, "Do you have a title or rank?"

The voice is still as beautiful as the sound of flowing water and pebbles, and the expression on his face shows no emotion or anger.

Facing this otherworldly face, Liu shook his head instinctively: "No."

She's a restaurant owner with an incredible title and rank!

"His name is Liu Yuan," Lin Fei pointed to Liu Yuan who was being helped up, and said, "He is the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, with a rank of seventh rank. I just heard you call him a pariah..."

Liu Yuan reacted immediately and quickly knelt down to Lin Fei and said: "Sir, I have been reading poetry and books for more than ten years. I finally became an official in high school, but I was humiliated as a pariah by this woman. Please make your decision!"

When Wen Mingtang saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head: Although Da Rong can be considered a civilized society, it is still a feudal society with strict hierarchies. The following clauses about being punished by the rod are written into the law.

Liu Yuan had an official rank, so he was understandably a "gentry official" and a "shi". But Liu was a commoner, and if commoners insulted the nobles, they were guilty of the following. What is even more troublesome is Liu's unscrupulous words just now.

"something", Liu Yuan, a nobleman, was called "untouchable". Untouchables refer to prisoners who were exiled or exiled to the army or worked as prostitutes, and their status was lower than that of civilians.

To humiliate a "scholar" as a "untouchable" is definitely a great humiliation! Some high-spirited Qingliu nobles even committed suicide by throwing themselves against a pillar because of this.

Not making trouble just means not caring about it, but it doesn't mean that you can't make trouble.

Now, Lin Fei, a high-ranking person, obviously wants to stand up for his subordinates.

Nodding towards Liu Yuan, Lin Fei took off the badge from his waist and threw it to the few soldiers from the Yamen who were watching the excitement in the crowd: "Here comes the street patrol! Get this offended woman."

Take him out and beat him with twenty sticks as a warning to others!"

Mrs. Liu was dumbfounded after hearing what she said. When the street patrol officer came forward to pull her, she rolled her eyes and was about to pretend to be dizzy.

Lin Fei said before Mr. Liu completely "fainted": "If you faint, wake up and then hit!"

As they talked, Mrs. Liu's "fainting" was cured without medicine, and she quickly begged loudly for mercy.

The noise of the people watching the excitement outside suddenly became much quieter. Looking at Lin Fei who made the noise, there was more or less disbelief on his face.

It's not that this gentleman is wrong! It's just that for a person with such a "good-natured" look on his face, just by looking at his skin, anyone would think that the person in front of him is a talkative and modest gentleman. But he...

The street patrol official stuffed a cloth ball into the mouth of Mrs. Liu who was begging for mercy, pulled her to the door of the restaurant, picked up the stick and was about to attack.

A "Wait a minute" sounded at this moment.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Lin Fei who spoke out: Could it be that this fairy gentleman has softened his heart after all?

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Lin Fei say.

"Don't be slow during the execution! The sound of my officer's sticks will be heard!"

Everyone who heard this was stunned.

After the noisy crowd was quiet for a moment, someone exclaimed: "'Immortal face, Shura heart', this is the newly appointed young minister of Dali Temple!"
