Chapter 281 Sauerkraut and Beef Stew (7)
The tender and elastic beef enters the mouth, and between the opening and closing of the lips and teeth, the burst of meat juice blends with the sour and spicy soup, forming a very special and wonderful taste! The side vegetables inside are fresh and tender mushrooms, the thousands of soybeans are full of aroma, and the cabbage absorbs a lot of soup. Everything is in perfect harmony with the sour and spicy soup, and the taste is truly wonderful.
This sauerkraut and beef soup mixed with rice was truly worthy of their thoughts this morning.
The air in the public kitchen of Dali Temple was filled with the strong sour aroma. Wen Mingtang and others sat behind the counter and watched the servants who had been busy all morning lowering their heads to cook.
After the stomachs that had been hungry all morning were filled, everyone stood up one after another. They poured the remaining sauerkraut and beef soup into their mouths and left.
When lunch time was coming to an end, Lin Fei and others finally appeared in the public kitchen.
Zhao Mengzhuo returned to Dali Temple early today. They must give Zhao Mengzhuo an explanation for their actions.
No matter what, although there is some "kill first and report later", the person was caught, and the witnesses and physical evidence were all available. The policemen who had just eaten revealed that the body of the "Daughter of the Most Yin" Li Yin was found on the spot. It can be said that both the person and the loot were recovered. .
If Li Yin was the first woman to suffer, her grandson Li Zhou could not be the instigator of all this. After all, this case started before Li Zhou was born!
Compared to the guards, Lin Fei and Liu Yuan naturally knew the details better. After receiving their lunch and sitting down, they chatted with Wen Mingtang and the others while eating.
"They think that the corpses of women like Li Yin, who are the most yin, can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and preserve their merit forever." Liu Yuan lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice poured with soup, and said, "Let me tell you, merits and deeds such as If you want to do more good things that are beneficial to the world and the people, this is much more reliable than absorbing the spiritual energy from the corpse of the most Yin girl!"
Anyway, these people, together with their ancestors and fathers, had lost all their virtues, harmed the Li Yin family of the same clan, obtained Li Yin's body, and then spent a lot of effort to preserve Li Yin's body, but... the body could not be preserved as alive. They had also seen the portrait of Li Yin during his lifetime. She was a beautiful woman, but what happened to the body lying in the coffin?
After all, they are from the same clan! For that illusory selfish desire, it disturbed people's peace even after death. The key is, is it really useful to spend so much time?
When they went in to arrest people, Li Yin, the "Daughter of Zhiyin", did not show up or help. Of course, maybe he was too annoyed by being disturbed by this group of people, and felt that letting these people be arrested earlier would help to achieve peace and tranquility as soon as possible.
Compared with those little ladies who were buried alive to serve the rich and idle, Li Yin directly became a container for absorbing the "spiritual energy" of the world!
"My grandfather named Yang mapped out the places where those people hid Li Yin and hid them." Liu Yuan took a bite of beef and felt the beef juice bursting between his lips and teeth. "Although he worked for these people, those murderers I don’t believe this either.”
Seeing Liu Yuan talking about the inside story of the case without hesitation, Lin Fei did not stop him. It seemed that the truth of this case had come to light, and those "rich and idle people" had no time to spare!
Wen Mingtang thought for a while and asked Liu Yuan, "Where are the murderers?"
This matter must not be outsided, otherwise Jiang Chengzu would not have personally taken over the arrangement of the altar. I just don't know how those "rich and idle people" chose these murderers to work for them.
"Just about to say this," Liu Yuan swallowed the juicy beef and said, "Although these people in the world have been walking in the world, they were not people in the world at first. Their ancestors were those who were rich and idle. People raise thugs and killers to do things that are inconvenient for them.”
"Although these wealthy and idle people are very careful about how to do evil and generally do not easily provoke people in the court, our Dali Temple is not the first to want to touch them," Liu Yuan said. The ministers who acted like human beings wanted to deal with these wealthy and idle people who were doing nothing but doing evil things secretly, but the late Emperor..."
When Liu Yuan said this, he took a big mouthful of rice and said vaguely: "The late emperor... faint... benevolent..."
Wen Mingtang felt that Liu Yuan wanted to say that the late emperor was stupid, but the other party was the emperor after all, so he said "mercy" to express his feelings.
In short, the late emperor and this group of people can be said to be of the same kind. Naturally, they are very "pleasant" to them. It is not easy to pull them down.
The courtiers were not stupid either. Once they knew that this matter had begun, they fired without looking back. They needed conclusive evidence. It was only when the matter started to be investigated that the other party found out... These wealthy and idle people could not do their proper work and raised thugs to eradicate dissidents. He is a good hand at raising spies to get information.
"These people are never reasonable. Now it's the turn of those raised thugs to come on stage. There are quite a few ministers who died in accidents when returning to their hometowns or traveling!" Liu Yuan said, chewing the refreshing sour fragrance in his mouth. Pickled cabbage, sighed and said, "I died before I left the army..."
How many fools can be in the court? Even though there is no evidence, I can vaguely guess something. Therefore, I am not absolutely sure, so I will not touch them easily.
"What's more, the late emperor... was kind," Liu Yuan said, "he had pity on his fellow clan members..."
To put it harshly, if the new emperor had not ascended the throne at this time, or if the evidence they had found now were sent to the former emperor, it would be hard to say whether the major incident would be reduced to a minor matter.
But think about it again, those people have been arrogant for many years and don't care about anyone. The Holy Lord who has not ascended the throne has also encountered difficulties from them several times.
After all, these people have come out to "absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth", so it is not surprising to think of immortality. The late emperor wanted to be the emperor forever, so naturally he wanted to be the prince's son. He felt quite displeased in his eyes, and felt that the prince wanted to usurp the throne and harm himself.
In this way, it is strange that His Majesty, who suffered so much back then, does not want to get rid of these people after he ascends the throne!
How do you say that? If God wants to make him die, he must first make him mad!
"Master Zhao has been summoned into the palace by His Majesty. How serious are the culpability of these people?" Liu Yuan sighed and said with emotion, "After killing so many people, it can be said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end! "
Mr. Zhao will take over the follow-up of this case personally, and it has nothing to do with them.
"It's a pity that so many young ladies have died in these years, at least hundreds of them," Bai Zhu also sighed. He glanced at the sighing Liu Yuan, but thought of another thing, "Those who have plenty of money in their hands , the rich and powerful people who bought people alive for burial will surely have their homes confiscated, and as a result... the money for flood relief will not have to come out of the national treasury!"
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he took inventory of the treasury and found that compared with when the previous emperor ascended the throne, he could only spend 30% of the original money. The 70% that was taken away was naturally "used" by the previous emperor.
Except for a very small part of the money used for governing the country, most of it was squandered by the late emperor!
The bulk of this squandering is "beauty" and "witchcraft".
Not to mention that Liu Yuan wanted to call him "faint", even the new emperor wanted to call him "faint" when he saw that only the bottom of his pants was removed from the treasury!
