Chapter 158 Liangpi (5)

Things came to a deadlock with the death of Master Sun.

Why should a cook from Dali Temple's public kitchen, who had nothing to do with the Goguryeo envoy, give the envoy a chin?

"He was still looking sad when he called for 'sick leave' that day," Ji Caimai thought for a while and said, "When I went to see him yesterday, he was in a very good mood and said he would come back..."

In the public kitchen, Master Sun obviously didn't care whether it was Ji Caimai or Wen Mingtang. After all, no matter how much Wen Mingtang and Ji Caimai dislike him, they can't do anything to him. They can't drive him away. The most they can do is give him a scolding! Reprimanding may be effective for thin-skinned people, but for an "old man" like Master Sun, it only goes in one ear and out the other.

Ji Caimai's description in just a few sentences was enough for an experienced Dali Temple official like Wei Fu to piece together an extremely possible reason.

"He thought something had happened to him before, or he was coerced or threatened by someone taking advantage of his weakness. What the other party asked him to do was most likely to drug the Goguryeo envoy." Wei Fu said, "That person If he is allowed to finish this thing, all things will be wiped out. The ashes that have been split into black ash by thunder and fire may be the reason that led him to do these things."

Even if he wanted to assassinate the envoy, what Master Sun did... made people shake their heads. Being witnessed by so many people sneaking into the tavern, the real murderer would not choose such a person to cooperate, but would only regard it as a knife that is thrown away after use.

"After all, he is still stupid!" Liu Yuan strode over with a very ugly expression on his face, "He is in Dali Temple and doesn't ask for our help, but he dares to listen to the words of such a vicious person. I don't know what he is thinking!"

"Am I going to leave him alone just because his cooking is unpalatable?" Liu Yuan walked up to everyone and said, "If so, we would have kicked him out of Dali Temple long ago. How could we let him stay until now?" ?”

Even though I was complaining and I didn't like Master Sun, the thought of someone dying in such a confused way always made me feel a little bit upset.

"Right now, I have to check who Master Sun has been in contact with these days." Wei Fu said, but the solemn expression on his face did not ease at all.

The other party would push out Master Sun instead of taking action himself, which shows that he has already prepared a complete plan and is afraid that he will not leave any traces that can be easily traced.

Ji Caimai, who was opposite him, hesitated when he heard this. After a long pause, he said: "Sun Dingren... is actually involved with Prince Yu's people at the Internal Affairs Yamen."

Otherwise, nothing would have happened against Wen Mingtang before.

If a cook does not have contact with powerful people, how can he get involved with envoys from other countries? If it was King Yu... I heard that Liu Yuan and the others seemed to have mentioned during the evening meal chat that King Yu was related to an old case, and there were Goguryeo people in the old case.

Is it such a coincidence? Although Ji Caimai was just a buyer, after staying in Dali Temple for a long time, he always got some habits. It was a coincidence that King Yu appeared in the whole incident.

Liu Yuan and others would naturally have discovered the coincidence that Ji Caimai could discover.

"We will go there later to look for Jin Yanxiu, the Goguryeo prostitute in that case," Liu Yuan said, glanced at Wen Mingtang, and said, "We will go there after we have lunch cooked by Master Wen..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Fu. He touched his slightly twitching eyelids and said, "Master Sun is already a step too late. It's better to go and see this prostitute earlier. The murderer won't wait until he has time to eat!"

One sentence made Liu Yuan rush to see the female prostitute named Jin Yanxiu without eating lunch.

When they arrived at the door of the brothel with the people, before they could even step into the brothel, they heard a scream of "Ah" coming from the building. The sound frightened Liu Yuan and Wei Fu, fearing that they would face each other again this time. What kind of corpse? He rushed in quickly.

Then, with just one glance, he saw the female prostitute named Jin Yanxiu. She was hanging in the air with iron wires hanging on her body. She was struggling and twisting in the air in a barbarian dance skirt, and screamed from her mouth.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yuan and Wei Fu's expression suddenly changed. They exclaimed, "No, hurry up and save people." Then they rushed to the stage, but were stopped by the old bustard Tong Zhike.

"Sir, please wait a minute!" The madam waved the fan helplessly in her hand, pointed at Jin Yanxiu hanging in the air, and said, "I'm practicing the flying dance!"

Flying... flying to the sky? The two people who were about to rush to the stage were startled, and then they noticed that there were many female prostitutes hanging in the air not far from Jin Yanxiu, but compared to Jin Yanxiu's struggling, twisting and screaming, those few female prostitutes were Both the dancing skills and posture are much better, and there are even people humming softly among them.

The two looked at the female prostitutes, and then at the screaming Jin Yanxiu in the middle. After a moment of silence, they said to the madam: "Put her down! I have something to ask her!"

The madam nodded and asked Zhike to put down the screaming Jin Yanxiu.

Seeing that her steps were a little frivolous after being put down, Liu Yuan and Wei Fu turned to the madam aside and said, "She looks like this, obviously she is not suitable for practicing this flying dance. Why do you want her to practice this dance?"

Hearing this, the old bustard spread his hands helplessly and sighed: "My lord, her appearance, singing voice, etc. are all mediocre! She is not young now, and I can't support idle people in this place!"

When Liu Yuan heard this, he pointed at Jin Yanxiu who was sitting there and resting, and said: "Her dancing posture made us think that a murder case had occurred, so you want her to use that dancing posture to dance to the sky?"

Of course this is impossible! The old bustard was also very worried. Hearing this, he couldn't help complaining, "Everyone else has some skills, but she doesn't! If His Highness Prince Yu hadn't been so affectionate, he would come to see her once more than a month, and we would have kicked her out long ago." !”

Before they could ask, they heard the madam say "Prince Yu". Liu Yuan and Wei Fu looked at each other and asked the madam, "His Royal Highness King Yu will come to see Jin Yanxiu?"

It is true that King Yu was not a good person, but looking at King Yu's picky look, he had previously been unable to do anything because Master Wen was too "simple". Now this Jin Yanxiu is not as good as Master Wen. Of course, Liu Yuan and Wei Fu would not believe King Yu's words of "long-term love". There was probably a hidden reason behind this matter.

Jin Yanxiu on the side seemed to have recovered at this time. She was looking here. Although she was from Goguryeo, she had already spoken fluent Chinese in Daeryong for many years.

"Your Highness is a good man!" Jin Yanxiu heard them mention King Yu, and she quickly spoke and said happily, "You are so generous, you don't even need me to sing the song, just ask me to drink tea with him."

Is this talking about the King Yu they know? When Liu Yuandong Wei Fu heard this, he was stunned for a moment. After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at Jin Yanxiu with more scrutiny: "Why does King Yu treat you so well?"

His Royal Highness Prince Yu is not a very kind person, there must be a reason for everything to happen.
