Chapter 127 Mustard Pulled Skin Fried Pork
Li Motang didn't stay at the house for long, and was about to take Xiao Nuan back to the palace. When she walked out, she found Huang Feng following her, wondering: "Where are you going?"
"When you go to the Lu Mansion, you should always say hello and ask about the case." Huang Feng suddenly asked, "By the way, do you have any books recording various evil spirits? I want to take a look."
Li Motang thought for a while: "There should be one in the Demon Collection Department. Let me ask for you."
"Okay." Huang Feng nodded.
The evil spirits encountered during this trip to Quliang were very special and very difficult to deal with. Although the result was a near miss, there is no guarantee of the next time. It never hurts to have more knowledge and be prepared.
Going all the way to Lu Mansion, he happened to pass by Manxiang Tower. To his surprise, the entire Manxiang Tower was sealed.
Many people from the Punishment Department came in and out, and they were still driving away the people who were watching: "Look at what you want to see, there is nothing interesting to see, they are all gone."
He remembered that when he and Li Motang left Zhaoyang, Manxiang Tower was still open and was not affected by the murder at that time.
Now that he was suddenly blocked, either something happened again or it was related to the case, which made him quite curious.
Lu Kun happened to be at home. When he heard that he was back, he hurried to greet him. Without him asking, he said excitedly: "Brother Huang, you have done a great job!"
"Huh?" Huang Feng was puzzled, but soon realized that he was probably talking about a case, "What did the trial reveal?"
Lu Kun looked around and dragged Huang Feng into the room: "His Majesty authorized the use of special means in this case. However, it was only at the first trial that it was discovered that there was a problem not only with the waiter, but also with the entire Manxiang Building."
"What's wrong with Manxiang Tower?"
"There is an espionage and assassination organization involved behind the scenes. Manxianglou is a stronghold of this organization in Zhaoyang." Lu Kun was quite excited when talking about this. "Did you know that on the day His Majesty approved the use of special interrogation methods, Manxianglou The shopkeeper packed up his belongings and ran away.
Think about it, His Majesty approved the memorial from the Ministry of Punishment during the morning court. Just after the court, the shopkeeper of Manxiang Tower received the news. Doesn’t it mean that someone among the ministers in the morning court has a problem?
Fortunately, my father was more careful and had people keep an eye on the shopkeeper. Then he was stopped before he left the city. When he searched his house, he dug out many millet seeds from the ground. "
Huang Feng was surprised and amused: "Dig it out, but he didn't destroy it?"
Lu Kun said with a smile: "I can't bear to part with it. There is a large sum of money buried in the ground. Maybe I want to wait for the limelight to pass and let someone help him steal it out. But this time the people from the Criminal Department really dig deep."
Huang Feng nodded, this explanation made sense.
When Lu Kun said this, he felt lingering fear: "Not only the shopkeeper, but also many spies among the piano players and dancers. I recalled it carefully in the past two days, for fear that I might have told some secrets while eating at Manxianglou."
"Then what?" Huang Feng asked with a smile.
Lu Kun patted his chest: "I'm glad. Although I'm not strict with my words, I never like to talk about the court. All I talk about is romance."
"You're lucky, there should be a lot of people worried."
Lu Kun said with emotion: "Isn't it? I heard from my father that everyone in the court is in danger now. When His Majesty learned that there was a problem in the court, Long Yan was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to investigate the case strictly, and even gave him a The right to act expediently.
Also, now the young masters and ladies in each house will bring one or two monks with them even if they don't leave the city.
If Brother Huang hadn't seen through the cause of Feng Ye's death at a glance, he wouldn't have been able to uncover this poisonous snake hiding in the capital. Everyone would be in the dark and might be killed one day.
So, Brother Huang, you have made a great contribution! "
Not only was Huang Feng not excited, he was also a little depressed: "Didn't I say that all the credit goes to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple? It has nothing to do with me."
Lu Kun smiled and said: "Don't worry, you were not mentioned in the memorials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple took the credit, but my father and Mr. Pan both remembered this favor.
If Brother Huang encounters any difficulties in the future, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are willing to return this favor.
However, there are still Imperial City Secretaries inside and outside the capital who are keeping an eye on you. Brother Huang, you and His Highness Chang Ning are so close again. His Majesty may not know it. "
Huang Feng smiled and didn't take it seriously: "I'm just afraid that you will focus on my intelligence and ask me for help whenever you encounter a difficult case in the future. As for favors, I probably won't be able to use them."
Lu Kun didn't know how to answer the call.
After talking about the case, Huang Feng finally explained his purpose of coming: "By the way, I've been bothering you for so long. It's not appropriate to stay here any longer."
Lu Kun was surprised: "Brother Huang is leaving?"
Huang Feng explained: "I don't plan to leave Beijing yet, but I will be in seclusion for a few days. I plan to move to the southwest of the inner city, where Li Motang has a house."
Hearing that he was going to retreat, Lu Kun knew that it would be difficult to keep him, so he nodded: "As long as he doesn't leave the capital, I promised to take Brother Huang to visit the capital, and I don't want to break my promise."
After chatting with Lu Kun and saying goodbye to Lu Shouyan in person, Huang Feng left Lu Mansion.
But when leaving, Huang Feng always felt that Lu Qiuyan looked at him strangely, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
He thought about Lu Qiuyan's three sons and no daughter. There was no reason.
He said goodbye to the Lu family and returned to the mansion, saying he was in retreat. However, the first thing he did was not to study the exercises, but to go straight into the kitchen.
The servants in the mansion had been ordered to take good care of the two young masters. Seeing Huang Feng entering the kitchen, thinking that he wanted to eat, he quickly asked: "Sir, what do you want to eat? You can just tell me what you want. You don't need to do it yourself."
"Just in time, go prepare these ingredients for me." Huang Feng took out the note he had written and handed it to the servant.
The servant took the note and looked at it. It was full of ingredients, such as potatoes, cucumbers, lean meat, etc.
Could it be that the young master in front of me is a cook?
He remembered that Mr. Nie said that this man was an immortal.
Not daring to ask any more questions, the servant hurriedly went to do it.
Taking advantage of this moment, Huang Feng took out the wasabi found in the secret realm and started tossing with it.
He heard from Lu Kun that in the cooking competition that will be held in a while, in addition to the judges, the chefs can also taste each other. In order to taste all these delicacies, the best way is to get involved.
The servants quickly prepared the ingredients and were then driven out of the kitchen.
As soon as the door was closed and his sleeves rolled up, Huang Feng began to prepare his first dish.
Before I knew it, it was getting late.
In the yard next to him, an old man was sitting in the yard playing with the birds. Suddenly he smelled a scent, which seemed to be coming from the kitchen next door.
Ordinary people can't smell anything special in this fragrance, but he is different. He can easily distinguish the unusual smell from this fragrance.
It’s ingredients or condiments he’s never seen before!
Curious in his heart, the old man stood up and sat down again with the birdcage in hand. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind to visit next door.
By this time, Huang Feng had already finished his first dish, stir-fried pork with mustard skin.
After doing it, he took aim at the most suitable guinea pig in the house, Nie Wenxuan.
