Jin Yi Shi Niang (Detective)

It has been introduced earlier that the Food School is a school opened by Yueshi after returning from the palace, which specializes in teaching the cooking and food of the noble daughter's family.At this time, you can see several fragrant cars and soft sedans parked in front of the door, all of which are very luxurious and luxurious.

Because there are only women inside, to protect them, the door of the food school is tightly closed, but there is a bell on the door, and the bell can be rang when visitors come to visit.

Lan Ying'er lightly pulled the bell, and saw that the heavy door was opened a crack, and a woman's head poked out.

"Who is the girl looking for?"

Lan Yinger said: "My name is Lan Yinger, I'm looking for Aunt Yue."

The girl looked surprised: "Aren't you the Lan girl from Tangzi Lane?" She has been waiting!I thought it was a very old girl, but it turned out to be so young.

Lan Yinger nodded quickly: "Yes, I am."

The girl opened the door directly: "Miss Lan, please come in! Auntie is very happy to receive the greeting card!"

Lan Yinger just entered the door, but after entering the door, the ladies inside who were chatting and eating snacks all looked at her with a very disdainful expression.

"Xing'er, shouldn't the servants go through the back door? Why did they come into the front hall?"

A lady Jiao dressed in fine clothes looked down upon Lan Yinger who was dressed in common clothes, and her words were full of ridicule.

Xing'er is Yueshi's maidservant, she hastily explained: "This is Miss Lan from Tangzi Lane."

As soon as Miss Lan was mentioned, these noble ladies immediately fell silent, which made Lan Yinger a little strange.

At this time, Yueshi came out from the inner room, seeing Lan Yinger, she immediately expressed surprise: "Miss Lan, you are here."

Yueshi was well-dressed as before, wearing a dark green narrow-sleeved tufted bodice and a long skirt of the same color, with a gentle and indifferent smile on her delicately made-up face, which made people feel that she was very easy to get close to.

Lan Ying'er greeted Yue Shi: "Aunt Yue, I'm here to visit today, because I have something to discuss with my aunt!"

Yueshi turned to the inner room with one hand: "Miss Lan, please come in!" Then he told Xing'er: "Bring some refreshments."

Lan Ying'er followed Yueshi into the inner room, only to realize that this is a small tea room, the water in the earthen pot on the charcoal stove on the table just boiled until green smoke was rising.

After a while, Xing'er came in with some pastries, then retreated and closed the inner room door.

Lan Ying'er looked at Yue Shi suspiciously: "Aunt Yue, why did those noble ladies outside stop saying anything more once they heard that I was Miss Lan?"

Yueshi smiled gracefully: "Because I often mention you when I teach them how to cook, and I often make them go to Tangzi Alley to taste the delicacies you cook."

"So that's how it is!" Lan Yinger thought to herself that she was in charge of the kitchen most of the time and could not be free, so when she first came in, those noble ladies didn't know her.But he didn't expect Yueshi to value her so much, and let those noble ladies go to her small restaurant to taste the dishes she made.

"Miss Lan is here because of the case of the food competition, right?"

Without waiting for Lan Yinger to explain her intentions, Yueshi took the initiative to enter the topic.

Lan Yinger nodded.

Yueshi said again: "I just heard that Li Zecheng is dead?"

Lan Yinger nodded: "Well, he is dead, but I don't think he is the murderer."

Yuezhi frowned: "If he is not the murderer, Miss Lan, according to your opinion, I am the next target?" She said this with obvious worry in her eyes.

Lan Ying'er looked at Yueshi, and thought that Yueshi had been operating in the palace for more than 20 years, and it must be because of her intelligence and prudence that she was able to retire safely and honorably.

"Aunt Yue, my return is actually arranged by Mr. Wen."

Yueshi nodded: "I can guess that last time I saw you sitting behind Mr. Wen, I think Mr. Wen valued you very much. I heard that you have the ability to read minds?"

Lan Ying'er said humbly: "It's just a little bit of observation, how can you talk about reading minds."

Yueshi was straightforward: "If you want to ask me anything, just ask me directly! I won't mind."

Lan Yinger stared into Yueshi's eyes: "Aunt Yue, Qin Shihai and Li Zecheng all bribed five judges, and all five judges accepted bribes. We suspect that the reason why the real culprit killed people was because of the word 'bribery'." I would like to ask Aunt Yue, during the competition, will you give money to the five judges?"

It was a matter of life, so she was not polite, she spoke frankly, and she was not afraid of offending Yuezhi.

Yueshi seemed to know that she would ask her this question, he just smiled and said: "I never put honor in my eyes, the reason why I will participate in the competition this time is because of the help of a few noble ladies outside. I applied for the name. Later, when I participated in the competition, I also reported that I focused on participating in the mentality, and did not expect to win any awards. As for Rongsheng No. 1, it was beyond my expectations. Later, I guessed that it must be mine Those young apprentices were just helping out. They didn’t want to see me lose, so they greeted the five judges. But after I asked them, they didn’t give money to the five judges, because the five judges didn’t Dare to offend them, so they gave me a number one ranking."

Lan Ying'er picked up the pastry on the table and ate it: "Maybe it's my aunt's delicacy, it really can win the first place."

Yueshi shook his head: "Actually, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Compared with Qin Shihai and Li Zecheng, I have absolute confidence in the delicacies I cook. But when compared with you, I dare not rank higher."

Lan Ying'er hurriedly lowered her head and said modestly: "Auntie, I'm so honored, what I did is not as good as you said."

Yueshi smiled slightly and said: "Of course there are. I often have people running errands to Tangzi Lane to buy vegetables and food to eat, and I follow suit, but often I can't make the taste of your cooking." The tone paused, "I think Ask Miss Lan, who did you learn from for this skill?"

When Lan Yinger was asked by Yueshi, her thoughts instantly returned to her hometown.

"When I was young, my mother was in poor health. I had to cook early on, and because my mother had a bad spleen and stomach, I often didn't think about eating. I tried to make some delicious food for my mother to taste. Later, I felt that I couldn't do it. When I found something delicious, I went to the owner of the restaurant in the next street to recognize my master and let him teach me how to cook."

"Where are you from?"

"Hezhou."

"It's in the northwest. It's far away. But I heard that the people there eat coarse food, not as delicate as your food."

"Well, it's because my master is not from Hezhou, but from the capital city, but later he was exiled to Hezhou because of some crimes, so he opened a small restaurant in Hezhou with his good cooking skills."

"So that's the case. Then why did you come to the capital?"

Yueshi seems to be obsessed with Lan Yinger, and she likes Lan Yinger very much. She thinks that if she has a son, she will definitely ask Lan Yinger to be his wife, so she is also very curious about Lan Yinger's life experience.

Lan Ying'er was slightly stunned, the eighteen sets of torture instruments in the imperial prison suddenly appeared in her mind, and the disgusting bloody smell of the imperial prison seemed to linger in her nose for a long time, after a while, She looked at Yueshi with an embarrassed smile: "Before, I heard Master talk about the prosperity of the capital and wanted to take a look. Later, my mother passed away, and I thought that my younger brother wanted to gain fame, so I came to Beijing from afar."

Yueshi nodded slightly, as if she had some understanding of Lan Yinger's situation.But just now Lan Yinger was so stunned, she always felt that Lan Yinger's coming to the capital was not that simple.

Lan Yinger came to her senses, and quickly shifted her attention to Yueshi, with a serious expression on her face: "Auntie, do you feel anything unusual recently?"

Yueshi squinted his eyes and thought about it, then nodded: "I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or what, sometimes I go out these days, and I always feel that someone is following me, but when I look back, I don't see any suspicious people."

Lan Yinger said again: "Auntie, can you let me visit your kitchen?"

Yueshi hurriedly got up: "Of course it is possible."

Although the kitchen in Shixuefang is not as big as Li Zecheng's, it is well-furnished and very clean. The oil on the stove has been wiped clean, and the charcoal beside the stove is neatly piled up.

At this moment, Lan Ying'er's eyes flashed, and she discovered a common thing.

At the same time, a group of Jinyiwei from the Jinyiwei Department is dealing with dozens of people from Guoanhoufu, while the old Houye went to the palace in a court uniform. Before closing the case, he tortured his only son to death in the imperial prison.

For cases like these, although Jin Yiwei is qualified to come forward to try them, they still have to go through the judgment of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If the emperor hadn't insisted on killing someone, the Ministry of Criminal Justice would still have the qualifications to question Jin Yiwei's trial results, and sometimes even completely overturn them. .

But at this moment Ji Gang was losing his temper in the wing room, yelling to find Wen Chen.

Is it because although Li Zecheng was whipped, but because of the intervention of the crown prince, he still kept his hand and did not hit Li Zecheng too hard, but Li Zecheng committed suicide in the imperial prison?

Then a subordinate reported that Wen Chen had been to the prison last night, and the people on duty at that time happened to be people who were close to Wen Chen.Later, not long after Wen Chen left, Li Zecheng died.

Ji Gang had just gone to see Li Zecheng's body, but he was indeed out of breath.

Those who went to find Wen Chen reported one by one, but they couldn't find Wen Chen, and they also told Ji Gang that Miss Lan stayed in Wen Chen's study last night, but there were many people at the door, and the door was ajar. Yes, they didn't do anything special, they were just studying the case.He also reported that after Miss Lan had breakfast, she left Jinyiwei on her own. As for where she went, no one followed her.

Ji Gang sent people to look for Miss Lan and Wen Chen in Tangzi Lane, but they couldn't find them afterward.

That night, Ji Gang was summoned by the emperor to the palace, so he kept talking and scolding without mentioning it.

On the next day, Aunt Yue from the Food Science Workshop came to the kitchen as usual and taught the ladies who came early to make breakfast.

"In addition to bean powder, bean curd skin, bamboo shoots and shredded tofu must be added to this mutton soup, and some pepper, vinegar and soy sauce must be added."

After Yueshi put the four bowls of ready-made mutton soup on the tray, he asked the maids brought by the noble ladies to take the tray out.

At this moment, Xing'er came in, holding a bowl of milk in her hand: "Auntie, hurry up and drink the milk first!"

Yueshi has the habit of getting up early to drink milk, while thinking about today's recipe, she took the milk that Xing'er handed her.

Just as Yueshi put the milk to her lips, a figure flashed into the kitchen, and Lan Yinger shouted: "Don't drink it, it's poisonous."

Yueshi was stunned for a moment, Lan Yinger took the bowl in her hand, put it under her nose and smelled it gently, and she smelled a familiar astringent smell.

And in the backyard of the Food Science Workshop, a lame old man saw what was going on in the kitchen, and immediately realized something was wrong. With two brocade guards.
