Chapter 92 Crab Race (2)
This plate of Sai Crab is really well done and delicious! Liu Yuan frowned when he heard this, looked at the dishes on the table, and asked Wen Mingtang and his party: "Today's evening meal, the public kitchen did not provide fish, meat or other non-vegetarian food?"
Even if there is a greedy cook, can one person stuff all the meat into his stomach? What's more, Master Wen's appetite is not big, how could he eat so much meat?
Ah Bing said: "The road in Zhuangzi was flooded today, so no food was delivered. Master Sun used all the leftover pork meat from yesterday. There was no meat for dinner, so Master Wen made crabs!"
This sentence made the people in Dali Temple who were eating crabs immediately couldn't help but said angrily: "You have the nerve to use all the pork meat in the braised pork that is so virtuous? When will Sun Ding leave?"
If the people in Dali Temple hadn't insisted on being reasonable in everything, they would have driven away the man named Sun and the man named Wang.
"If you ask me, then Sun Ding might as well have broken his arm like Wang Junshan!" said everyone in Dali Temple. "Then Wang Junshan has broken his arm and spent the time recovering from his injury. It's not a big deal."
Everyone complained, but they didn't notice that A Bing and Tang Yuan behind the counter subconsciously glanced at Wen Mingtang when they heard "Wang Junshan didn't bother with anything."
Wen Mingtang shook his head at the two of them, smiled and stood behind the counter to help prepare the dishes.
When the evening meal was about to end, Lin Fei took Li Yuan into the public kitchen of Dali Temple.
Li Yuan's eyes were red, and he obviously looked like he had cried.
After walking to the stage, receiving the food and sitting down opposite Lin Fei, Li Yuan looked at Lin Fei with red eyes and asked: "Brother Zhao...Brother Zhao, did he really let the dead men in the house chase him?" Kill you?"
Lin Fei said "Hmm", then pressed the crab into his mouth with chopsticks. He paused for a moment, as if he also realized that this was not a real crab, and then continued to eat.
Then, in a rare violation of the food etiquette, Lin Fei spoke: "There are smashed floors and carriages in the three streets and nine alleys. Most of the warehouse outside the city has been burned. The young prince can go and take a look."
Li Yuan was even more ashamed at what he said. He lowered his head to Lin Fei and remained silent before saying, "Yes... I'm sorry, I never thought that if I questioned Brother Zhao, I would actually harm you!"
Lin Fei said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
In fact, it was not Li Yuan who harmed them. He had expected that Li Yuan would do this, so he also deliberately lured the Huaishan County Prince and his family to take the bait.
Wen Mingtang looked at Lin Fei, who continued to eat, and shook his head: The arrogant and domineering little prince of Pingxi is really far behind compared to this one!
Because he was guilty of hurting others, he didn't know the taste of the meal. It was only after Li Yuan returned that he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Wen Mingtang where the crabs came from at this time. He actually asked the public chef of Dali Temple to receive crabs, but their Pingxi County Prince's Palace did not!
After Li Yuan left, Lin Fei did not leave immediately as before, but walked up to Wen Mingtang, looked at her and said, "Master Wen!"
Wen Mingtang, who was busy clearing away the countertops, said "Oh" and without raising his head, replied: "Does Lin Shaoqing want to ask about the crab race? Those are not real crabs, they are made from eggs."
During the evening meal, all the people who came to Meimei came to ask for crabs. After all, who doesn’t have a little curiosity in Dali Temple?
Wen Mingtang felt that Lin Shaoqing was not exempt from vulgarity, so he took the initiative to explain it.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fei in front of the stage said "I know."
Wen Mingtang, who was busy clearing the countertop, stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at Lin Fei in surprise: Why should I ask if I know?
When Lin Fei saw her looking towards him, he immediately stretched out his hand to touch his waist.
This move startled Ah Bing and Tangyuan, who were cleaning up the table together: Lin Shaoqing, what are you doing? He seems to be a very serious person on weekdays, so why would he take off his belt inexplicably?
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Fei took off the... soft sword from his waist.
Wen Mingtang, Ah Bing, Tangyuan: "..."
It scared them to death! It turns out that I want to untie the soft sword!
After coming back to his senses and looking at the soft sword in Lin Fei's hand, Wen Mingtang felt that the soft sword looked familiar. Just as he was thinking this, he saw Lin Fei glance at her and said: "Follow me! "
Wen Mingtang looked at each other, A Bing and Tang Yuan, put down the rag in his hand, cleaned his hands, and followed Lin Fei outside the public kitchen.
After walking over and calling "Lin Shaoqing", Lin Fei handed over the soft sword in his hand.
Wen Mingtang looked behind him and saw that she was indeed the only one here, so he took it. Then he lowered his head and looked at the soft sword in his hand: it looked familiar. If this wasn't the soft sword he drew out to fight the enemy, which one was it? If there is any difference, it seems that the gem on top has been dug out.
Seeing Wen Mingtang's eyes fall on the place where the gem was originally inlaid on the hilt of the sword, Lin Fei said: "A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!"
It was not that he was reluctant to part with the gem, but that the gem was given to Duke Jingguo by the Holy Emperor and was not his. If Wen Mingtang is asked to take this gift from the emperor out and someone recognizes it, it will definitely cause controversy. Even if it attracts big thieves to steal, it will be even more difficult to explain.
Wen Mingtang naturally understood this truth, shook the soft sword in his hand, thanked him, and then heard Lin Fei say: "You are Wen Xuance's daughter. I'm afraid the pursuit like that day will not stop once. This A soft sword is suitable for you, so it’s a good idea to get it to protect yourself.”
When Wen Mingtang heard this, he immediately nodded and thanked him. She felt very comfortable using this soft sword. Is it a gift in return for being a big help?
After thanking her and about to leave, Lin Fei suddenly glanced at her again, paused, and said: "This sword is not only for self-defense. Its blade and blade are specially made to hurt people." Ordinary blades are difficult to imitate.”
Wen Mingtang looked at him.
Lin Fei was too lazy to talk in circles. He paused and said directly: "I saw you take action against the murderer that day... This sword is for self-defense, but if you take the initiative to kill someone, I can also deduce it from the blade."
Wen Mingtang: "..."
The implication was that although she seemed to be being hunted, because Wen Mingtang was so skilled at killing others, Lin Fei was very worried that she would take the initiative to kill others. Therefore, she was also considered a "potential murderer" to focus on.
This kind of treatment, being watched personally by the young minister of Dali Temple, is really unique.
Wen Mingtang clasped the soft sword back to his waist, nodded, thanked her, and when she was about to turn around and leave, Lin Fei called her back and warned her again: "Although Wen Xuance is dead, you managed to save your life. Now that he has successfully left the palace, he will not go back to his old ways. It is a blessing to be able to live innocently!"
Wen Mingtang nodded to him, turned and left.
After Wen Mingtang left, Lin Fei raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Mengzhuo, who had stopped halfway down the corridor: "Master Zhao."
Zhao Mengzhuo nodded towards him and looked at Wen Mingtang's leaving figure. He paused and couldn't help sighing. His eyes were full of emotion: "I didn't expect that after all this time, Wen Xuance's daughter would actually come to our Dali Temple. !”
That case back then was handled personally by Dali Temple.
