Chapter 50 Red Oil Chaoshou (7)
Because he was preoccupied with something, Master Sun, whose cooking skills were so bad that he was about to bottom out, got worse and worse. He absent-mindedly cooked a barely-eat lunch, which aroused the eyes and anger of many officials and servants. , and after a scolding by Ji Caimai, Master Sun and Master Wang left Dali Temple together.
The time appointed with that person is the end of time.
Arrived early and waited under the crooked willow tree in front of the mansion gate, and waited for more than half an hour in the sun before a white-haired **** with white skin and powder came out holding an umbrella.
Looking at the white-haired **** with dead pale face and bright red lips, the two of them flinched at the same time: I always feel that the white-haired **** walking in front of me is exactly the same as the monster in the story book before he had time to wipe his mouth.
After walking up to the two, the white-haired **** gave them a sideways look and said, "Then Wen Xuance's daughter has left the palace?"
The two of them jumped when they heard the shrill voice, and hurriedly said "yes" and "yes".
The white-haired monitor sneered, and glanced at the two of them: "Cook in your public kitchen?"
The two nodded hurriedly again.
The **** snorted: "What a big deal! The two of you won't get her away? A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, can't the two of you figure it out?"
Master Sun and Master Wang smiled bitterly and said: "Although that girl is only fourteen or five years old, I will wait for more than one round. But as the old saying goes, a dragon begets a dragon and a phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes. That Wen Xuance is a treacherous In my generation, his daughter is also a treacherous one, coaxing our public chef to help with the purchases overtly and secretly. It has not been a few days since she came, and we have already been scolded several times!"
When the white-haired lady listened to this, she rolled her eyes, looked at the two of them with disgust, and spat: "Unlucky! Why are you so useless?"
The two confessed their mistakes with dry smiles.
After being pointed at the nose and scolded by the eunuch, the white-haired **** said: "What a big deal! How can I alarm the master? I'll just say hello to the internal affairs!"
Hearing this, Master Sun and Master Wang were overjoyed, thank you again and again!
The **** snorted coldly, raised his shrill voice, and shouted, "Go away! It's an eyesore!"
Seeing the ferocious guards in the mansion come out with sticks, the two of them scrambled and ran away in fright.
This run did not stop until the **** could no longer be seen.
The two were holding on to the corner of the wall, panting, but the expressions on their faces were ugly and shocking.
"Bah! This eunuch!" Master Sun couldn't help spitting, and cursed, "It's a bitch!"
Master Wang's face was also ugly, and he said: "If you don't want to deal with that girl surnamed Wen, how can you be punished by an eunuch?"
"Forget it, just bear with it!" Master Sun scolded a few words, and said angrily, "As soon as the internal affairs side comes forward, I think that girl has something to say."
"In the final analysis, I still blame that girl named Wen. If she doesn't come, how can you and I suffer so much?" Master Wang said bitterly, then looked at the sky, and said, "It won't be early Now, I have to go back to make evening food."
Although there are not many people in Dali Temple looking forward to Master Wang's evening meal, people always have to eat. This evening meal has to be done, and what to eat has to be eaten.
When it was approaching the evening meal, Liu Yuan, who had been running for a day, finally returned to Dali Temple, and put the clues he had asked in front of Lin Fei.
"Lin Shaoqing, you are right! Then Li Ruizhi did buy this kind of medicinal material," Liu Yuan said, "but he didn't buy it in one store, but in different pharmacies, and bought it separately, but it happened on the same day."
Liu Yuan took a sip of the sour plum drink that Shangfeng handed over, feeling a little sad: In fact, compared to Li Ruizhi, he didn't like the Duke of Huai'an even more, but he hoped that it was the Duke of Huai'an who would do such a thing. , not Li Ruizhi, who seemed gentle and polite.
"What is the use of this medicinal material?" Liu Yuan couldn't help asking after drinking a bowl of sour plum drink to drive away the dryness in the person.
Lin Fei raised his head and asked him: "Do you still remember the time when you and I first entered the public housing in Huai'an County?"
Liu Yuan was startled when he heard this, and the scene at that time flashed in his mind: Duke Huai'an, who was having fun, waved his hand to let the maidservants go down, and a large group of maidservants came out, almost colliding with the two of them.
After listening to Liu Yuan's answer, Lin Fei was noncommittal, just raised his hand, pointed to his nose, and said, "What does it smell like?"
Smells... Taste?
"It smells like powder!" Liu Yuan recalled the situation at that time, and said, "When the maid puts on makeup, the smell of powder becomes stronger."
Lin Fei glanced at Liu Yuan who was still remembering, rubbed the center of his brows, and said: "The fragrance of the powder is mixed with the smell of medicine."
Liu Yuan: "...I haven't heard it."
How many people have such a good nose as Shangfeng?
Lin Fei pointed to the list that Liu Yuan brought back, and said: "It is the smell of these medicinal materials above, which conflicts with the properties of the medicine in the medicinal bath medicine pack of Huai'an County Gong, and becomes poison."
Hearing this, Liu Yuan was shocked: "The Duke of Huai'an..."
Lin Fei closed the medical book open in front of him, and said, "Excessive sleepiness, sluggish footsteps, and yellowish white eyes, I think I'll have a few days to live."
In such a calm tone, the Duke of Huai'an said "there are not a few days to live".
Liu Yuan: "..."
So, reading medical books is really useful? He looked at the appearance of the Duke of Huai'an, and thought that he was overly indulgent, how could he tell if it was "a few days to live well"?
"It's Li Rui's subordinate who wants to poison Duke Huai'an to death?" Liu Yuan came to his senses, thinking of this conclusion, with a complicated expression on his face.
Lin Fei gave a "hmm" and said, "It should be so."
"But why..." Liu Yuan murmured, but shook his head immediately, "No, he had the motive of poisoning the Duke of Huai'an."
Once the Duke of Huai'an dies, Li Ruizhi can take his place and inherit the title of Duke of Huai'an.
"But that's not right, Duke Huai'an is planning to wait two years before..."
"It has not been reported to the imperial court, so Li Ruizhi's position as Duke of Huai'an is naturally not for Li Ruizhi," Lin Fei explained, "Although Li Ruizhi still calls Duke of Huai'an his uncle, he has already entered the family tree and the adoption has been completed. Huai'an Once the county prince dies, he can get the property."
So, Li Ruizhi murdered for money? Looking for money? Liu Yuan frowned, thinking of Li Ruizhi sitting in the study, touched his nose, and sighed, "I really can't tell that he is such a person."
Lin Fei glanced at him, and said: "The matter of the Duke of Huai'an is undoubtedly Li Rui's fault. However, I think the whole matter should be more than that."
Liu Yuan looked at Lin Fei in disbelief: "Does Lin Shaoqing think that the death of Yan San and others is also related to Li Ruizhi?"
Li Ruizhi poisoned and killed the Duke of Huai'an County, which can be said to be murder for money, but why kill Yan San and others? There is no reason!
