Chapter 197 Crab Pot (1)

During the entire Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, there were as many as twenty-three young ladies who came to report missing. Except for two young ladies who found them after the Lantern Festival ended, the other twenty-one young ladies were all missing.

At this time, Liu Yuan and others, who did not know that Lin Fei had taken over the case, were surrounding the won beauty lamp and lamented: "In the final count, we were only a few picks less than the third one. If... eh

!I have lost a lot of money!"

Liu Yuan was not the only one who was so sad. Everyone agreed. If you take the money back and take it to the "Ji Da Accounting Room" in the public kitchen, you may be able to buy back how much braised duck, sugar-fried chestnuts and other snacks!

Beauty lanterns, which are hard to find in ordinary times, are naturally beautiful. The beauties on the octagonal palace lanterns are so lifelike that even after looking at them for a long time, they become like this.

They didn't have any "elegant" literati here, so it became stale after a while. Everyone hung up the beauty lamp in the lobby and continued to do their own things.

While sorting out the files in his hands and chatting, the topic involuntarily turned to the chef's lunch today.

"I just went out to pay respects and came back and passed by the public kitchen yard. I saw our 'Ji Da Accounting Office' bringing the ingredients from the village. What do you think it is?" said the servant who had just gone out and squeezed towards everyone.

He opened his eyes, opened his arms, stood up and walked a few steps sideways.

This "sideways walking" action is really eye-catching. People will guess it immediately at just one glance, and they will be surprised and say: "Could it be that crabs are coming?"

Counting the days, it’s time for the crabs on this farm to come.

The officer nodded and said happily: "Today I also saw Master Wen going to get a casserole. This method is different from the usual steaming method in previous years."

When I think of the crabs made by Master Wen, I am really looking forward to it!

Wen Mingtang, who was mentioned by the guards, sneezed, sat down, and seriously began to brush the "crabs" in the basket.

There are many ways to make crabs, including steaming, boiling, making drunken crabs in aged Huadiao, or making a warm pot of meat crabs like hers.

These recipes are all delicious! After all, crabs are very delicious to begin with, so no matter how you cook them, they won’t taste good.

But now that he has come to Da Rong, since the chefs in Chang'an City can make the first few recipes and many people have eaten them, Wen Mingtang decided to make a new style that has never been seen before for "everyone in Dali Temple".

In this room, Wen Mingtang and others were seriously brushing crabs and preparing to make meat crab stew. In the other room, they chatted for a while, and were still lamenting that "I have a half-day of leisure, and the more leisure I have, the more addictive I am." However, Liu Yuan and others "can't take any more leisure time."

Then I found out that the case of the missing lady from Jingzhao Mansion was under the control of Dali Temple.

Not only did he take care of it, Lin Shaoqing had already brought a "suspect" into Dali Temple yesterday, and now he is waiting for interrogation!

When he followed Lin Fei into the prison of Dali Temple and saw Yuan Erlang, he saw Yuan Erlang shouting to the jailers, "There are cockroaches!"

The jailers in that compartment were also quick-witted. One of them, who had quick eyes and quick feet, immediately caught up with the scurrying cockroach and sent it directly to reincarnation!

Genjiro almost fainted after seeing this action. He pointed at the moving guard with trembling fingers: "You...you..."

"What are you?" the jailer said impatiently, "Aren't you afraid?" He kicked the cockroach with his foot and said impatiently, "You're not afraid anymore if you die?"

Genjiro's face turned pale when he saw this scene.

At this moment, Lin Fei walked in with Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu.

Glancing at Yuan Erlang, Liu Yuantong and Bai Zhu couldn't help but shake their heads: This thin-skinned and tender young man is really interesting! He must be timid. He can spend money to buy his life for his sister without hesitation, and he doesn't speak his mind at all.

It would be strange if someone who wants to gouge out people's eyes is a coward; but let's say he is courageous. He can turn pale when frightened by a cockroach, which seems to have nothing to do with the word "courage".

This Yuan Erlang is really unpleasant! Lin Shaoqing has already sent people to Jiangling to inquire about Yuan Erlang's past. Let's see if he has done any evil things in the past. If he has done it,

So I might as well "stay" in Dali Temple for another year and a half.

Yuan Erlang didn't know Liu Yuantong and Bai Zhu's inner murmurings at this time. When he saw Lin Fei and others coming in, his pale face softened slightly and he called out: "Lin Shaoqing is here?"

Lin Fei said "hmm" and looked at him calmly.

Seeing this calm look in Yuan Erlang's eyes, he immediately became excited and started to defend himself: "I am really unjust. I never sent anyone to kidnap those missing ladies!"

Lin Fei said "hmm" again, looked at him, and asked: "Taoist priest Lin Yuanguan has confessed that you once sent three women to him, asking him to do this to save your sister's life, right?"

When Lin Fei mentioned the words "Lin Yuanguan", Yuan Erlang's face suddenly turned pale. When Lin Fei finished speaking, his lips trembled even more when he met Lin Fei's gaze.

, and then he stammered and said: "Lin...Lin Shaoqing really has great powers, I...I'm just worried about my sister..."

What a lot of nonsense! Liu Yuan looked at it and couldn't help but interrupt him: "Who cares whether you are worried about your sister or not? What I want to ask is where did you get it from?

Those three women!"

That's right! Yuan Erlang, who was pale-faced, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and replied: "I bought it from Yazi, a man from the east of the city!"

Glancing at Lin Fei who was too lazy to speak, Liu Yuan immediately understood and took the initiative to step forward and ask: "Where is Ren Yazi?"

Genjiro reported an address.

This address is exactly the same as the ones reported by those women. The place has long been empty!

Liu Yuan frowned and looked at Yuan Erlang who breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "What I want to ask is where you found that person Yazi from!"

Yuan Erlang heard this and said hurriedly: "The streets in the east of the city!"

What's the difference between this answer and not saying anything?

Liu Yuan: "..."

Seeing that his colleague was about to get angry, Bai Zhu on the side saw this and said quickly: "What I want to ask you is how you know that Ren Yazi," he said, "I'm afraid there are some problems with the business that Ren Yazi is doing!"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Erlang's face turned pale again, and he stammered: "I...I don't know either! After leaving Lin Yuanguan, I originally wanted to find Ren Yazi, but

Because I was unfamiliar with the place, I looked for someone to ask for directions..."

…

After questioning Yuan Erlang and coming out of the prison, Liu Yuan's face looked very ugly.

According to Na Yuan Erlang's confession, he really thought that the old Taoist priest was an extraordinary person, so he wanted to spend two dollars to buy some women to take his sister's place.

Because they were not familiar with the place, the group went out to inquire. Early the next morning, they went to the east of the city. After asking for a while, they could not find anyone who knew about Ren Yazi. When they were worried, a person stood on the roadside for a long time.

A middle-aged man came over and asked them if they were looking for Ya Zi.

"We talked for a while, and the middle-aged man said that he was Ren Yazi, so we followed him! When we went to his place, we found that he was indeed the right age and good-looking." After Yuan Erlang said this, he paused.

After a pause, he hurriedly said, "This matter has nothing to do with my sister. She refused and stopped me many times!"

Recalling what Yuan Erlang just told him, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sneer: "Look at this irritable and evil young man, he actually cares about his sister's life! It's just that his sister's life is the only life, and those who bought it with money

My slave girl’s life is not life at all!”
