Chapter 123 Chapter 1 White Chapter 22 Fried lotus root box (1)

"This..." Shuangxi, who has never been too tight-lipped, suddenly pursed her lips after saying two words, then waved her hand at Wen Mingtang, said "I can't say it" several times, and then ran away .

  I can’t say it…then forget it! Wen Mingtang hadn't touched the curiosity of Liu Yuan and the others, so he went out with the packed egg rolls.

  When I saw Liang Hongjin outside the Tongming Gate, Liang Hongjin had a sweat towel hanging around her neck. She seemed to have just finished training, and she was steaming all over her body at this time, so she wiped the sweat with the sweat towel.

  I can already smell the rich milky egg fragrance through the oiled paper bag.

"It's an egg roll!" Liang Hongjin obviously had tasted this thing a long time ago, took the oiled paper bag and opened it, took one in his mouth, and said with emotion, "Ever since Xiao Mingtang came out of the palace, egg rolls, mung bean cakes , egg yolk crisps and other things are rare to eat once.”

   "Next time I will make egg yolk cakes for you to eat." Wen Mingtang said with a smile.

  That's pretty much it! Seeing that Wen Mingtang understood what she meant, Liang Hongjin nodded in satisfaction, and heard Wen Mingtang say, "There is a bag inside for Zhao Sishan."

  Liang Hongjin let out a "huh", patted Wen Mingtang on the shoulder, and said, "I, Liang Hongjin, am not the kind of person who waits to eat alone. I didn't forget her in the mung bean cake last time, and I won't forget her this time."

  Wen Mingtang nodded with a smile when he heard the words, looked around, saw that there was no one around, took a step forward, and asked Liang Hongjin in a low voice: "She... who has she been in contact with recently?"

Liang Hongjin, who was casually eating the egg roll "Kachacha" when she heard this sentence, immediately paused, then looked down at Wen Mingtang, and whispered a name, "Qiu Ning? "

  Wen Mingtang nodded. When the name was mentioned, the girl's eyes darkened significantly: "It's her."

  She encountered more than all kinds of troubles and tribulations in the palace. Although cutting flesh with a blunt knife is difficult, she will not die immediately. It can be seen that the poison that seals the throat with blood can kill a person in one blow.

She knew the palace maid named Qiu Ning when she was in Ye Ting. Once, because she didn't clean the whole hall within one day, she was scolded by the palace servants who made things difficult for her. Ning's servant girl. Wen Mingtang is not a bad person, but she knew in her heart that being scolded was caused by herself, so she took good care of Qiu Ning after that incident, and Qiu Ning often came to find her because of that.

  Although she didn't develop any deep friendship, the relationship between her and Qiu Ning was really good during that period of time.

  Until one day, Qiu Ning brought a pastry from outside, saying that it was brought by a friend outside, and shared some with her.

  Wen Mingtang had just started a fire in the cold palace with Liang Hongjin and Zhao Sishan and ate some roasted sweet potatoes. He couldn't eat any more, so he didn't move, and planned to eat it later.

  But when he returned to the house later, he saw a poisoned mouse next to the pastry. He was startled immediately, and soon understood what was going on.

  Later, Liang Hongjin took the cake and the dead mouse to ask Qiu Ning what happened, but Qiu Ning insisted that he didn't know. Although Wen Mingtang forgave her on the surface, he got farther and farther away from her behind the scenes.

"I have inquired that she was not the one who punished the hall for wiping the hall, and I don't believe in such a coincidence." Regarding this, Wen Mingtang explained to Zhao Sishan and Liang Hongjin, "And a maid in the palace who was reduced to wiping the hall is in the palace. The middle class is definitely not good, how can you come to me with so much spare time?"

  Qiu Ning's method wasn't too clever, it's just that Wen Mingtang didn't think much about it at that time.

"It's still the same, it's not bad, and I haven't seen anyone in contact with her." Liang Hongjin said, reaching out to pat Wen Mingtang's shoulder, and comforting her, "Don't worry! I can save it, and I will help you." You stare."

  Wen Mingtang thanked Liang Hongjin, and exchanged some pleasantries with her. Seeing that the time was almost up, he went back to Dali Temple to prepare for evening meal.

  There was still a lot of lotus root with mud left yesterday, Wen Mingtang looked at the extra lotus root and the pork meat delivered today, and ordered the meat dish for today's evening meal—fried lotus root box.

   While dragging the cart with muddy lotus roots to wash the lotus roots, I ran into Liu Yuan who came back from outside with a lot of files.

  Seeing Liu Yuan, Tangyuan did not forget to remind him: "Liu Sicheng, don't forget an egg roll!"

  This little girl is too stingy! Liu Yuan replied helplessly: "I see, little aunt, let me go find Lin Shaoqing first, and then return your egg roll?"

  That's pretty much it! Tang Yuan nodded when she heard the words, waved her hands old-fashionedly, and said, "Okay! I won't bother you to catch painted skin monsters!"

  The Painted Skin Monster is still here! Liu Yuan shook his head when he heard this, and went to look for Lin Fei with the file transferred from the Chang'an government office.

"Lin Shaoqing, I went to the Chang'an government office to borrow the files of the young man's disappearance case for the past five years!" Liu Yuan put the stack of files on Lin Fei's case and said, "Except for those who have already been recovered, there are also dead ones." Yes, it's all here."

  The cases of disappearance occur more among abducted children and people who are not conscious or sick.

   It's really not that common for a strong young man in his prime to go missing. Although it is not common, it is not uncommon.

Liu Yuan pointed to the stack of files that had already been roughly flipped through, and said: "Although most of them reported to the government, the family members thought they ran away from home, so they went to the yamen every month to inquire about the situation. Some of them had a bad life and couldn’t bear it, so they left the whole family and ran away. There are also those who are young and good-looking, and the family members suspect that they are going out to have a good time!”

  Lin Fei let out a "hmm", opened the file and quickly read it.

   After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he stopped talking, walked aside and waited. He only saw Lin Fei flipping through them quickly. Some files were flipped through and put aside, while others were kept.

  Because it was only rough flipping, Lin Fei flipped through extremely fast, and finished flipping through the dossier in less than half an hour.

  After flipping through, Lin Fei pointed to the dossier put aside, and said to Liu Yuan, "Send these back tomorrow!"

  Liu Yuan responded and looked at the files left by Lin Fei.

  The dossiers were unfolded one by one and spread out on the case. After a cursory glance, Liu Yuan found that the dossiers left by Lin Fei had something in common—they were all young, well-looking young scholars.

  Liu Yuan counted, and there were more than ten people.

  In recent years, have so many young scholars disappeared? However, if it is spread over the year, it will only be two or three a year, which is not too much.

   "Let's take a look!" Lin Fei pointed to the missing cases of young scholars who were found out, and said, "Let's see what these missing cases have in common?"

  Scholar! The commonality is just the preferences of those scholars. What's so special? Although Liu Yuan was a little puzzled, he still picked up the pieces and looked at them carefully.
