Duan Tieniu was born as a general, but he was a has-been. His family fell into decline, and he couldn't even keep his title in the end. But since he was a former general, he still had something to offer.
For example, the martial arts skills passed down from the family.
This gives him a much higher starting point than children from ordinary families. He has a good foundation, but his family has limited resources and cannot give him much help.
So he was admitted to Zhenwu Academy.
He graduated successfully and stayed as a teacher. However, because of his bad temper and upright temper, he always got into fights with others, and was then pushed out to the dormitory.
The job at Zhenwu Restaurant is based on ability, and the food is delicious, so it is naturally popular. Duan Tieniu stands out because of his "Mangshan" strength and his unique role in forging and processing the meat of ferocious beasts. His "ferocious" food
The beef feast has also become one of the special dishes of Zhenwu Restaurant.
So he became the head chef of Zhenwushiliao.
Luo Xing found that Zhenwu Restaurant was throwing away some unprocessed beef offal, and felt it was a pity, so he secretly passed on some, but was caught by Duan Tieniu.
So the two never knew each other.
Luo Xing taught the other party how to prepare and eat beef offal. After the other party ate it, he was so shocked that he naturally gave Luo Xing the privilege of working as a back cook in Zhenwu Restaurant.
Duan Tieniu came over with a large pot in one hand. The soup in the pot was still boiling, obviously it had just boiled. The other hand was holding a shelf, and the shelves were all filled with fresh ingredients.
When he saw Luo Xing actually erecting the barbecue stall, he immediately beamed.
"Qilang, according to what you said, I prepared the hot pot for you. Let's try it first?" Duan Tieniu said loudly, step by step.
As soon as Luo Xing saw it, he knew what Duan Tieniu was carrying. Unexpectedly, he just mentioned it casually, and this guy actually got it out.
Eating hot pot in winter is definitely a great enjoyment.
Luo Xing could not think of any reason to refuse.
…
Tonggu Lane·Luo Family Courtyard.
In the small study room.
Ye Liuli, who had just finished taking a shower and was only wearing a gauze dress, was sitting under the lamp, casually looking through some news. These were reported every day by the Nanya Jing Ansi Luojing Group. After screening, the last valuable ones were
Only part of it will be sent to her desk.
This small armchair is very comfortable to sit on and fits the waistline perfectly. Ye Liuli has never seen such a refined chair on the market.
Obviously, brother "Little Douzi" did it himself.
Everything here seems to have been made by the original owner himself. Although the material used is not precious wood, and even the treatment is rough, after the owner's use and polishing, each piece is considered unique.
artwork.
A breeze.
Qingyi appeared at the door with tea.
"Drinking?" Ye Liuli's long, pale legs crossed slightly, she leaned back comfortably on the chair, and glanced at him with a smile on her lips.
Qingyi lowered her head slightly with a guilty conscience: "Drink a little."
"Could you have stolen the bar buried underground in his study?" Ye Liuli asked with a slight frown.
"No, I wanted to try some of his wine, but unfortunately, it was soaked with tiger bones and that stuff. I didn't dare to drink it, for fear that I wouldn't be able to stand it." Qingyi was greedy for Luo Xingmi.
There was wine in a secret room on the ground floor of the study, but after she saw what was soaked in the wine, she didn't dare to try it.
"I asked you to find people in Luojing who besides Zhenwuyuan can also use Jingtai Palm and Ripple Jin. Have you found any results?"
"Your Highness, it seems that there are problems with this case now. From the time someone bought hidden flowers in the ghost market Qixing Pavilion to assassinate Shen Zhiyuan, to the Shengji leather goods shop being wiped out, there is obviously a force that provokes the conflict between Xirong and Dazhou , and I think this may be aimed at you."
"You mean, this matter may eventually be traced to me?" Although Ye Liuli has no experience in court struggles, she is very smart.
When anything happens, in addition to studying its background, the most important thing is to see who will benefit in the end.
This beneficiary is likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes.
The feud between Xirong and Zhou Dynasty benefited many people. Princess Ye Liuli no longer had to marry Xirong. Nanchu and Xirong could contain part of Zhou Dynasty's military power, making it unable to spare more power to reinforce the southeastern battlefield. As for other indirect gains, Benefits are possible.
The most direct beneficiary is Princess Ye Liuli. If she was the mastermind behind this, it would lead to war between Xirong and Zhou Dynasty.
Then the marriage and marriage will be canceled directly.
But now this case has been handed over to Ye Liuli, the possible "behind the scenes" mastermind, for investigation, which in itself is a little unusual.
Ye Liuli was actually unwilling to take over the case. If "Luo Xiaoqi" hadn't been involved in the case, she would have wanted to know who was behind the scenes, so she took over the case.
She believes that the innocent will self-examine, and as long as the person behind the scenes is found, the suspicion on herself will naturally be cleared.
But now it seems that things are not as simple as she thought.
Over in the ghost market, it is impossible for Qixing Pavilion to betray the employer's information. Even if the Tianlan Sect's name is brought up to put pressure, Xue Sha Mi Tian will be pushed back.
Although Tianlan Sect is strong, it is absolutely impossible for Qixing Pavilion to destroy the rules it has established since its establishment. If Qixing Pavilion can betray its employer's information at will, it will lose the foundation of trust and its credibility will collapse in an instant. , how to survive?
It is basically impossible to investigate from Lord Qixing.
There has been little progress in searching for clues from the scene where Shen Zhiyuan was killed, as well as witnesses and physical evidence. The Inspection Department has been investigating for so many days, but there is still no key point.
"Your Highness, this Shen Zhiyuan is a playboy. His family is rich and he has all kinds of friends. On the night of the assassination, he went to Xinghua Garden. There was a servant girl in Xinghua Garden named Tang Shasha who was good at belly dancing. She danced gracefully and was both beautiful and beautiful. That night was the day when Tang Shasha had her hair done up. Prince Shen was Tang Shasha's nobleman. After Tang Shasha performed on stage as a court lady for the last time, she officially had her hair up. That night, Shen Shasha had her hair down. The Fourth Young Master took Tang Shasha's red pill and got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. Only then did Tang Shasha find that the Fourth Young Master Shen had died of anger. The scene was searched, but nothing was found."
"Where's Tang Shasha?"
"Wen Po has checked Tang Shasha and found that she had indeed lost her virginity for the first time that night, and she didn't know any martial arts, so she couldn't kill Shen Zhiyuan, who was already in the fourth level of perfection." Qingyi came over and said.
"There seems to be no objection to the fact that Shen Zhiyuan died in Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall's secret skill 'You Hong'." Ye Liuli asked.
"Shen Zhiyuan has a special status. The body was brought directly from Xinghua Garden to the Chengguo Palace. It is impossible for us to examine the body again, but both Cheng Guogong himself and the inspection work of the inspection department have confirmed that , it is indeed 'Youhong'."
"Any martial arts that hurts people, as long as it can leave traces, can be imitated, but the fake can be confused with the real one, and the test is the person's eyesight. As long as you know the characteristics of the wounds left by 'You Hong', you can forge a fake one that is fake but the real one. It's not difficult to get a wound," Ye Liuli said.
"Shen Zhiyuan once said that he had unwanted thoughts about His Highness when he was drunk." Qingyi said with a thump in her heart.
"Don't you think that I would kill someone for a few drunken nonsense and frame the blame on others?"
"In normal times, it shouldn't happen, but in this situation, if His Highness is willing to break the situation..." Qingyi's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.
"Of course, Qingyi knows that you will not do this, but there is no guarantee that others will not think so, especially Cheng Guogong himself. If he believes it, it will be troublesome."
"Although Duke Cheng Guo does not hold any official position in the imperial court, he is not the kind of person without wisdom. It is impossible for him to believe such words. Besides, you and I were not in Luojing that night. How could we sneak into Xinghua Garden to kill people?"
"Yes, we have witnesses." Qingyi nodded.
"What has he been doing in Zhenwuyuan these days?"
"He lives a very comfortable life. During the day, he hangs out with the cooks of the Zhenwu Restaurant and flirts with the little beauty named Hongying from the Puppet Hall. Even the students of the Zhenwu Academy don't like it very much, but he doesn't He had a direct conflict with those people, but His Highness the Fourth Prince had some contact with him before."
"They can't even reach it with eight poles, right?"
"The fourth prince made a bet, but he won thirty thousand taels of silver."
"This younger brother of mine is not a very economical person either. He is acting like this and no one cares about him?" Ye Liuli understood what was going on as soon as he heard this.
"The crown prince's position has not yet been determined. As long as the prince below does not go too far, His Majesty will turn a blind eye."
"To become a big deal, he is really ruthless. He is so cruel to his own son. No wonder my father couldn't fight him back then."
Qingyi didn't dare to pick up on Ye Liuli's words.
There must be an informant from the Tianlan Sect in the Zhenwu Academy, or someone has secret connections with the Tianlan Sect. Otherwise, how would one know about Luo Xing's situation in the inner courtyard of the Zhenwu Academy.
