Chapter 277 Sauerkraut Beef Stew (3)
In Liang Hongjin's emotional voice, the thin and light-transmitting beef was put into the pot. As soon as it was put into the pot, the color changed from red to light at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it took only a few breaths between raw and cooked!
Liang Hongjin couldn't help but let out a sigh, and said, "You cooks are really good at knives, not a bit worse than those of us who are used to using knives and guns!"
Wen Mingtang couldn't help but shook his head when he heard that, transferred the sauerkraut beef stew in the pot to a small casserole, garnished with pepper, dried chili and minced garlic, and waited for the last spoonful of hot oil before the meal.
…
Wen Mingtang's lunch here is almost ready, but the confrontation in the Qiandeng shop has completely reached a deadlock.
The plaque with the words "Thousand Lantern Shop" bestowed by the late emperor hangs crookedly in front of the shop door. It is usually luxurious and magnificent, and the shop that is not allowed to enter the non-rich is also like the crooked plaque. It was a mess, and the shop assistants and guards who resisted first were all pinned down on the ground and couldn't move!
In the lobby, Jiang Chengzu, son of the Jiang family, had his hands cut behind his back, looking embarrassed, and a jade-colored carving knife was thrown beside him.
Although wearing a craftsman's gray and black apron and having his hands cut behind his back is quite embarrassing, his handsome features still stand out from the crowd.
No wonder it is paranoid and selfish like Ms. Yuansan, who is fascinated by his appearance, and has refused to bite him so far.
Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked down at the young master of the Jiang family, and said, "Young master Jiang, go ahead!"
"What are you talking about?" At this time, the young master of the Jiang family lost the calmness he had when he was called to Dali Temple for questioning, and there was a trace of irritability in his voice, "Your lords, even people from Dali Temple, forcibly broke into thousands of people for no reason. Lamp shop, even if my Jiang family has exhausted their ancestral business, I have to sue the sage and ask what the adults want to do?"
It’s true that you won’t cry without seeing the coffin!
"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, Miss Yuan San is infatuated with you and never betrayed you," Bai Zhu said while shaking his head, then squatted down, picked up the jade-colored carving knife, held it in his hand for a while, and then said, "Isn't the Qiandeng Shop a lantern maker? How did Mr. Jiang, a son who inherited his ancestral business, get into the business of engraving on tombstones?"
Jiang Chengzu was about to speak when he heard the words, when he saw Bai Zhu took out a piece of paper from his arms, and unfolded it to Jiang Chengzu: "That day I asked Mr. Jiang to go over for questioning. Do you still recognize the testimony written by Mr. Jiang himself?"
Those testimonies were nothing more than Jiang Chengzu's testimonies about where he was and who he was with on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The testimonies themselves were all nonsense. After writing it, Jiang Chengzu was asked to copy it once. What Bai Zhu was referring to was not the testimony itself, but... the handwriting.
Jiang Chengzu's face froze, he opened his mouth, and subconsciously argued: "The handwriting... so what? I wrote those three words. There are many rich and noble customers in my Qiandeng shop. Idlers also bought lanterns at my house, why not ask me to write these three words and help make a monument?"
"You're right if you admit that you wrote these three characters!" Liu Yuan, who was on the side, couldn't help interjecting, sneered, and said, "The painting materials and colors used for the three-character stele in Linliuzhuang are very expensive. Less effort!"
Jiang Chengzu, who was still defending just a moment ago, turned pale suddenly.
Bai Zhu looked at Jiang Chengzu, whose face turned pale, and said: "The people behind you believe in this way, indulge in pleasure and magic, they are worthy of being a 'rich and idle person' who claims to be born noble, and they don't even use materials for magic. Pay more attention than ordinary people!"
"The Duodan Mine in the land of Bayue, the former emperor was addicted to this way in the past, so he found many wealthy and idle people from the clan to help mine the Dan Mine. The Dan Mine produced by one of the mines was of excellent quality and the color was like blood. These people called it Blood mine. The late emperor also liked the ore in this blood mine the most. He thought it was a **** stone from heaven. Due to the scarcity of production, only those who were in charge of this mine besides the palace had access to this blood mine ore! "Bai Zhu said and looked at Jiang Chengzu, "How did Mr. Jiang get this blood ore?"
Liu Yuan on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered: "It's because he is a **** of those people."
Cold sweat dripped down Jiang Chengzu's forehead. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Zhu said again: "Don't bite out Li Zhou. Li Zhou came out to contact those gangsters. You came out to contact Miss Yuansan. Li Zhou thought you obeyed him, but Since you were able to get past him and get the blood ore, it can be seen that his status is the same in the eyes of those people!"
"Maybe it's not exactly the same. Compared with Li Zhou, Mr. Jiang's knife is more popular with them, or it can be said that they are all people who practice this kind of sorcery!" Bai Zhu said, walked to Jiang Chengzu's side and placed it On the case of knives and other tools, a jade-white stone carved with talismans was found from a pile of knives and tools, and he said, "Since ancient times, such rituals have always been indispensable for witchcraft. It's just right for Mr. Jiang to entrust the matter to anyone who doesn't trust him!"
Jiang Chengzu's face became paler and he was about to continue talking when he heard Bai Zhu say: "After the Yuan family and the Jiang family had an affair, it's not surprising that they started a water transport business based on the terrain of Jiangling, but they suddenly changed from the lantern shop business to the murderous tombstone business. Business, this change of career is too abrupt!"
It's not that you can't do bad business! However, there are not many people involved in this kind of business, and because the doorways are quite exclusive, even Lin Yuanguan and other swindlers need a guide to buy a few undisclosed books. Huang Li, the Yuan family can be regarded as a big family. A big family's sudden change of career involves such a business that has never been involved in it, and it is a taboo that ordinary people avoid. Even if someone wants to do it, I am afraid that many people will jump out Oppose, I don’t understand, and it’s not auspicious.
Therefore, the reaction of the Yuan family's brainless Yuan Er is the reaction that ordinary people who are not in touch with this way should have.
"On the face of it, the Yuan family has changed their careers to the fierce business, and the Jiang family has been in the lantern shop business," Bai Zhu said, shaking his head, "The fact may be the opposite. On the surface, they have always insisted on doing the lantern shop business. The Jiang family is the real culprit who led the Yuan family to do evil business!"
The pale-faced Jiang Chengzu seemed to have calmed down when he heard this. He sneered, looked at the two of them, and said, "Where's the evidence?"
"The two big people say that there is no evidence, so you can't just open your mouth and convict people!" Jiang Chengzu said, "Although things like blood mines are rare, if I bribe the people who guard the mines, I can steal some and get them from Linliu. Wouldn’t it be good for the owner of the village to earn more money?”
Jiang Chengzu raised his eyes, his handsome eyebrows looked extraordinarily gloomy under the sunlight, he looked at the two of them like poisonous snakes: "Do you have evidence, sir?"
