Chapter 116 Xiao Long Gu Soup Dumplings (4)

Liu Yuan followed Lin Fei out of the prison.

"Does Lin Shaoqing think Zhou Dagui is lying this time?" Liu Yuan asked, following Lin Fei, "But lying about something like this... is really too disgraceful. For most people, they would rather die. It will rot in your stomach."

If what Zhou Dagui said this week was all arranged, who could make him protect him even if he splashed dirty water on himself?

Lin Fei didn't speak, so Liu Yuan continued.

"What he said now can be explained, but no one can prove it except him." When Liu Yuan said this, he couldn't help but reach out and pat his forehead, "It's difficult to handle!"

It’s really hard to handle!

Lin Fei stopped, turned his head and said to Liu Yuan: "If what he said is true, no one can prove it, and we can only look for physical evidence; if what he said is false, find out who is the talent he wants to protect." is the key.”

Liu Yuan also believed in this: But...where to start?

"Let's ask the mountain people again and see what Zhou Dagui is doing during the day." Lin Fei said.

Liu Yuan said "Oh". Although he agreed, he did not leave immediately. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he said: "I asked the mountain people earlier. After learning about his wife's affair with Zhuang Meiniang's husband, I specifically asked Dagui this week if he was close to any women, but he said no..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuan suddenly said "Ah", slapped his head again, and said: "That's right! If what Zhou Dagui just testified is half true or half false, he changed his preferences because of being stimulated, and changed his mind. If you like men, I will ask Zhou Dagui which men he is close to on a daily basis!"

Lin Fei looked at Liu Yuan who was patting his head and was silent for a moment, then said: "Ask the mountain people where he goes on weekdays and what his daily movements are. Don't leave anything behind, no matter how small it is."

Liu Yuan responded with an "Oh" and was about to turn around and leave, but Lin Fei stopped him again and said, "When you go out for questioning, take a few servants with you, just in case."

Liu Yuan was greatly moved after hearing this sentence: Did Shangfeng take such good care of him? Just as he was about to say a few words to express his gratitude, Shangfeng turned around and left.

…

The affairs of Lin Fei and Liu Yuan have little to do with Wen Mingtang and others.

After cooking the breakfast and leaving the kitchen to Master Sun, Wen Mingtang left Dali Temple with Ah Bing and Tangyuan.

Just two days after the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival atmosphere in Chang'an City has not yet completely subsided. There are still dragon boats that have not been collected during the Dragon Boat Festival parked on the Weishui River. There are even one or two dragon boat races every day to celebrate the end of the festival.

Wen Mingtang and others were the tailgaters of the festival who ran over at this time!

There was a bamboo tube filled with drinks hanging on one person's body, and some snacks were carried in the cloth bag beside him. Since it was not the Dragon Boat Festival, not many people came to celebrate the end of the festival. It also cost a lot of money to climb up to the observation tower by the Weishui River. Tickets are much cheaper than those on Dragon Boat Festival.

You can go up and see it for twenty copper coins.

The three of them happily boarded the viewing platform and looked at the dragon boats parked side by side on the shore in the distance and the dragon boat racers chatting and waiting for the start of the race.

"The red one in the middle is beautiful!" Tang Yuan looked around and pointed at the big red dragon boat in the middle and said.

Wen Mingtang looked at the middle-aged man not far away who was approaching with a smile and hanging a chip sign. He opened his wallet and said, "Then bet on red..."

Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"That stinky girl named Wen!"

You really can recognize this voice without turning your head. Wen Mingtang turned to look at Li Yuan, the little prince of Pingxi County, who was coming from behind.

Li Yuan was always surrounded by Shuangxi, who he carried everywhere he went, and several wealthy young men who were dressed in rich clothes and were about the same age as him.

Seeing Li Yuan's excitement, a wealthy young man on the side subconsciously asked, "Who is she? When did you know such a person?"

Birds of a feather flock together. Wen Mingtang, Tang Yuan and A Bing were obviously not dressed like the same type of people.

Li Yuan ignored the questions from the people around him, walked directly to Wen Mingtang and others, glared at Wen Mingtang and said: "Master, I haven't been here for a few days to have evening food, how come you don't know how to find someone to ask me? "

Wen Mingtang: "..." I also asked him, why should she, a cook in the public kitchen of Dali Temple, go and tell a small prince of Pingxi Province what to eat?

But even though he was thinking this, Wen Mingtang said: "I was busy making rice dumplings and so on, so I forgot."

Turns out he’s busy! It was indeed a bit busy to think that she was responsible for the food of the entire Dali Temple alone with the two people around her who didn't look very smart. The expression on Li Yuan's face softened slightly, and he obviously accepted Wen Mingtang's explanation, but he said: "Didn't you ask for it? I told you to come to my house, and I will be responsible for the food of the young master." enough?"

Wen Mingtang laughed twice and "borrowed" Lin Fei without any courtesy.

No matter how arrogant this man is, he still has no way to deal with Lin Fei.

Sure enough, as soon as the name "Lin Fei" came out, Li Yuan stopped asking any more, and turned to look at the middle-aged man waiting for Wen Mingtang and others to place their bets, and said, "What's the point? Why pick the red dragon boat in the middle?" ? You have to pick the yellow one on the far left! That one is the most powerful!"

Seeing Li Yuan's proud look, Wen Mingtang was silent for a moment, and while Tang Yuan was hesitant to speak, he bet one or two silver coins on Huang Longzhou to win.

Although Li Yuan, who had invested so little money, was a little disdainful, he was still very satisfied with the attitude of Wen Mingtang and others to "correct their mistakes when they knew they were wrong". Before turning around and leaving, he did not forget to praise: "Don't worry! I will definitely do it." You will lose that money!"

This reaction obviously confirmed one thing: the yellow dragon boat must be the dragon boat of Pingxi County Prince's Palace.

After Li Yuan and others left, Wen Mingtang called over the middle-aged man who was responsible for placing the chips, pointed at the red dragon boat that Tangyuan picked at the beginning, and said: "Press it to win!"

As he said that, he took out two taels of silver and poured money into it.

This move made Tangyuan both happy and anxious. After the middle-aged man left, he hurriedly said to Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen, I just want it to look good. If I lose..."

"If you lose, you lose." Wen Mingtang didn't take it seriously, but his eyes fell on the group of dragon boat racers on the red dragon boat in the middle. He paused and whispered, "I see the group of dragon boat racers on the red dragon boat. The shape of the hands and body looks like Lian Jiazi."

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is...

"The group of dragon boat racers just nodded and said hello to him," Wen Mingtang said, pointing to a group of people walking by the Weishui River, shouting and hugging each other, "The one in the middle is King Yu. This man has never made any achievements in important matters. , but when it comes to fun things like this, you are a person who always wants to be the first."

Looking at the group of people walking around, Wen Mingtang narrowed his eyes slightly: "This person's methods are not so upright. I'm afraid the little prince and others won't be able to compete with him."

Compared with King Yu, Li Yuan is really just a half-grown child.
