Duck blood vermicelli soup is a magical snack. It can be eaten as a meal or a dish. You can eat a bowl when you are hungry, or two mouthfuls when you are full. During this period, the main dish of Yishantang is duck blood vermicelli soup. Du Heng cooks two large pots of fragrant duck soup every morning. To be honest, if everyone doesn't feel sick of it, Du Heng can cook vermicelli soup for a while.
Green coriander floats in the golden duck soup, and next to the coriander are neatly placed the chopped duck intestines, duck livers, and duck gizzards. Pick up a piece at random and taste it. The duck intestines are crispy and tender, the duck livers are dry and fragrant, and the duck gizzards are chewy. They do not have the fishy smell of internal organs, but only retain the original taste and texture.
Duck intestines and duck liver are just embellishments, and there is also a large amount of duck blood and oil bean bubbles floating in the soup. The duck blood has changed from dark red to brown. When you eat it, you just suck it into your mouth. It is tender and smooth, and the holes inside are full of soup. Just take a sip and the duck blood will melt in your mouth.
The oil bean puffs are also excellent. The inside of the oil bean puffs, which have been stewed in duck soup, has been soaked in the soup. The outer layer has become chewy, and the inside is a bag of soup. Pick one up and put it in your mouth. Before you chew it, the soup flows out.
If duck blood and fried bean curd are the epitome of the delicacy, there is another delicacy in the bowl that is also worth savoring, and that is the crystal vermicelli!
Du Heng blanchs two taels of vermicelli in each bowl of duck soup. The color of the sweet potato vermicelli is a bit dark before cooking, but after soaking and stewing, it turns into a transparent gray. Pick up a chopstick and you will see the vermicelli hanging on the tip of the chopstick in long and short pieces. It is stained with the fragrance of the duck soup and retains its original flavor. It tastes smooth and chewy, unlike ordinary vermicelli that will fall apart at the touch.
A big bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup with soup and water, add one or two drops of chili oil when eating, it is fresh, delicious, fragrant and spicy! Wen Qiong can finish half a bowl in one breath!
Du Heng sat in front of Wen Qiong and watched his master eating duck blood vermicelli soup. He said with concern: "Master, eat slowly. I will cook more for you after you finish eating." Wen Qiong nodded: "Yeah!"
Du Heng added: "By the way, Master, did you eat the duck heart? I put duck heart in your bowl." There were relatively few duck hearts in the duck offal packed from Yunyanlou, and Du Heng was partial and only added duck heart to the bowls of people he was familiar with.
Wen Qiong nodded: "Yeah, I ate it!"
Jing Nan smiled and dripped a few drops of vinegar into his bowl. He said, "Xiao Qiong is only thinking about the duck blood vermicelli soup now. She probably didn't hear what you said." Wen Qiong raised her head from the bowl: "I'm listening."
Du Heng propped up his chin and said, "Let the brothers and sisters have a taste later."
Wen Qiong waved her hand: "No need to wait for them, Yu Shu and the others left yesterday." Du Heng was puzzled: "Huh? Why didn't my senior brother and the others tell me when they left?"
Wen Qiong said, "They don't know either. Ye Wenqiu just told me that there seems to be a ruin in the forest just south of Shenxu Palace, and several major sects have sent people out to investigate. The leader is Ji Qingyan's eldest disciple, and Yu Shu and the others followed. If the situation is true, maybe we can go to the ruins to look for some treasures before the Ten Thousand Sects Conference."
Du Heng scratched his cheek: "Oh..."
Wen Qiong bared her teeth at Du Heng, her snow-white teeth still stained with coriander leaves: "Don't wander around, hurry up and practice your swordsmanship. Ye Wenqiu just told me that if the ruins are open, the sect leader can bring their disciples in first, and you have a chance too!"
Du Heng's eyes lit up: "Huh? Really?" He had never been to the ruins!
Wen Qiong said: "Why would I lie to you? But with your current level of cultivation, you can't even fly the sword easily. I'm afraid you won't have the strength to protect yourself in the ruins. You'd better practice quickly."
Du Heng was greatly encouraged: "Okay, Master, I will start practicing right away!"
Just when Du Heng was getting excited, a familiar voice came from outside the dining hall: "Is Du Heng here?"
Du Heng turned around and saw Xiao Cai, the servant of the Second Dining Hall of Shenxiu Peak. How did Xiao Cai get here? Since he became a mission disciple, Xiao Cai and Chef Zhu only came to chat with him for a few words at the first time, and then they didn't see each other again.
Xiao Cai said with a smile: "Chef Zhu asked me to come to your place to pack duck blood vermicelli soup!" Xiao Cai was holding a food box in his hand. He said with a smile: "The chef who went to the general dining hall to eat said that you have delicious vermicelli soup here. The chef said he wanted to taste your cooking skills, so he sent me to go there."
Du Heng smiled and said, "It may not work to pack it in this lunch box. Vermicelli will become mushy if it is soaked in soup for too long. You can use our lunch box from the dining hall. Just remember to send it over later."
The food boxes sent out by the dining hall all have arrays made by Xiaoyu in them. The food looks the same when it is thrown in, and looks the same when it is taken out. However, the array on the food box is far less amazing than the array in their refrigerator. The food in the food box can only last for two or three hours. After that time, the food will still be cold.
Xiao Cai happily followed Du Heng to the kitchen. When he saw the old duck soup in the big pot, he took a sip intoxicatedly: "Ah, it smells so good!"
Du Heng grabbed a handful of vermicelli from the basket and said with a smile: "How about a bowl? It tastes good when it's fresh out of the pot." Xiao Cai wanted to refuse, but looking at the duck soup in the pot, he couldn't bear to refuse. He smiled flatteringly: "Then have a bowl!"
Xiao Cai soon couldn't stop drinking from the big bowl in the dining hall, and even sweat beads oozed from the tip of his nose. He drank the soup and exclaimed: "No wonder they say your food is delicious, it's really fresh! Chef Chang's food is not as delicious as yours."
Du Heng was busy stuffing vermicelli soup into his food box. He said casually, "Don't say that. Chef Chang's cooking skills are also very good!"
After Xiao Cai finished eating, Du Heng handed him the lunch box: "There are two servings of soup in it, so don't worry about spilling it. Remember to return the lunch box to me after you finish eating, don't forget."
Xiao Cai was burping with a smile on his face. He waved at Du Heng and said, "I know! Thank you for treating me to the duck blood vermicelli soup. I have never eaten anything so delicious. Can you teach me how to make it when you have time?" Du Heng smiled and nodded, "Sure."
After Xiao Cai took the food box away, Du Heng began to practice. When noon was approaching, he was ready to serve the guests. But just as he put down his sword, two sword lights flew from the southeast, and two monks in black robes stood on the sword lights.
Seeing the two monks, Du Heng was puzzled: "Hey? Are they from Shenxu Palace? Why are they wearing clothes of this color?"
Jing Nan and Wen Qiong looked at each other, and Jing Nan sneered: "It's coming." Du Heng was puzzled: "What's coming?"
Jing Nan looked at the two monks with a half-smile: "These two are the heads of the Shenxu Palace Punishment Hall. They will not be dispatched unless necessary. Look at this sword light coming towards the dining hall."
The two cultivators landed in front of Du Heng. Du Heng bowed with a smile and said, "Do you want to eat?" The two sword cultivators looked at each other, and the cultivator on the left said, "Are you Du Heng from Dingkun Sect? Someone reported that you poisoned the food and killed the chef and the servants in the second dining hall of Yuanshen Xiufeng."
Du Heng didn't react immediately. He thought to himself, "What?" Who died? The chef and servant of the second dining hall of Xiufeng in Genshin Impact? Aren't they... Xiao Cai and Chef Zhu? !
Du Heng, who had recovered, lost all color. He felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and then his limbs became cold: "Xiao Cai and the others... died?" How could it be? Xiao Cai came to pack the vermicelli soup an hour ago, and he also asked about the recipe of duck blood vermicelli soup.
They died? Why?
When Du Heng was taken to the main dining hall by the two men, his face was full of shock. When he saw the bodies of Xiao Cai and Zhu Dalong, Du Heng's nose was sore. Xiao Cai, who was still alive and kicking an hour ago, fell to the ground, his face was black, and dark red blood oozed from his mouth and nose. Zhu Dalong lay on the table in the main dining hall without a breath. There were two empty bowls on the table in front of them, which were the white porcelain bowls from the first dining hall!
Du Heng wanted to go forward and touch Xiao Cai, but he didn't need to touch her. He knew that the two men were dead after just a glance of his spiritual energy and divine sense. Du Heng's tears still fell, and he choked up and said, "What happened? An hour ago, they were still fine..."
A living person is gone just like that? Du Heng pinched himself and it hurt. He was not dreaming. When he wanted to move forward, the monks from the Punishment Hall stopped him and said, "Please don't come near."
The dining hall had been cleared out by the monks from the Punishment Hall of Shenxu Palace. The elder of the Punishment Hall, Su Zhan, was there, and next to Su Zhan was the elder of the Medicine Hall, Wu Buping. When the two saw Wen Qiong who came with Du Heng, he stood up and saluted: "Master Wen."
Wen Qiong returned the greeting and said, "Two elders, I have heard about the matter. Wen Qiong guarantees with his own life that the cause of death of the two people in the main dining hall has nothing to do with Du Heng."
Wu Buping said sternly, "Master Wen, we all understand the truth, but these two people died suddenly after eating the food packed from the dining hall in front of everyone. We in Shenxu Palace will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Wen Qiong said calmly, "Du Heng is my last disciple. In terms of cultivation, he is at the early stage of the Golden Core, and he possesses the Illusionary Heavenly Pearl. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a genius. In terms of status, even if he does nothing now, the Dingkun Sect can still protect him from worries for the rest of his life. In terms of character, Du Heng's character is obvious to all, not only in my Dingkun Sect, but also in the Shenxu Palace. There is no need for him to kill two outer disciples."
Wen Qiong almost wrote on his forehead: Someone in your Shenxu Palace is jealous of Du Heng and wants to frame him. But tricks don't work, so he can only use this dirty method, which is really despicable.
Wu Buping's expression did not change. He spoke clearly and in a clear voice: "Master Wen, please be patient. The truth has not yet been revealed. We just asked Daoist Fellow Du Heng to assist in the investigation. It won't be too late to make a decision after the investigation is complete."
Xuan Yu and the others quickly arrived at the main dining hall. It was difficult for them to enter the main dining hall with their level. They were standing outside the door and looking at Du Heng. Seeing Du Heng crying, the three of them clenched their fists.
Since it was poisoning, it must involve time, place, motive and means. When Xiao Cai and his friends died, there were many servants and cooks walking around in the main dining hall. When the two men were carrying food boxes and eating delicious food, Chef Chang was still teasing them. As a result, Zhu Dalong and his friends had just finished drinking the duck blood soup when they fell down with a plop.
These two people were poisoned to death, and the poison used was called "When". This is a strong poison that kills instantly when it comes into contact with blood. Not to mention that Xiao Cai and Chef Zhu are ordinary people and only in the Qi Refining Stage, even a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage would lose a layer of skin if he was exposed to this poison.
The poison was put in the duck blood soup, and Wu Buping found the poison from the remaining soup in the two bowls.
This was the first time Du Heng heard the name of the poison. He wiped his tears and his eyes were red. "I didn't do this. The duck blood soup I cooked this morning is still in the kitchen. Xiao Cai also ate a portion of duck blood soup in the first dining hall. If I had poisoned him, he would have been poisoned before he even reached the main dining hall."
328
Du Heng said, "The food I made this morning is in the kitchen of the dining hall right now. You seniors can go check it out. I dare to swear an oath to prove my innocence."
Su Zhan said: "A cultivator has already gone to the dining hall to check. I believe there will be a result later."
Xuan Yu asked Jing Nan quietly: "Is the barrier in the kitchen intact?" Jing Nan said: "Don't worry, it's fine."
Soon, the monks from the dining hall came back and brought Du Heng's refrigerator. The two of them put the refrigerator aside and replied, "Reporting to the first and second elders, we found a suspicious magic weapon in the dining hall. However, we can't open the magic weapon, so we brought it here for the elders to take a look."
Another monk was holding a food box in his hand. He said in a loud voice: "It has been found that the duck soup in the dining hall is highly poisonous. We brought some duck soup back. Please take a look, elder."
A surge of anger suddenly rose from Du Heng's heart. The huge humiliation and anger swallowed up his reason. He shouted: "You are talking nonsense! There is no way that what I made is poisonous!" Du Heng stared at the two monks angrily: "You are slandering me!"
Su Zhan raised his hand to signal Du Heng to calm down. He said slowly, "Daoyou Du, things are still unclear, please be patient. If possible, can you open your magic weapon and let us check it?"
Du Heng stepped forward and opened the refrigerator door: "Please go ahead." The monks' spiritual senses swept into the refrigerator, and they were amazed by the large amount of food in the refrigerator. Su Zhan and Wu Buping looked at each other, and they said to Wen Qiong: "Master Wen, please go in with us to check."
Wen Qiong nodded: "Okay."
After that, the three of them walked into the refrigerator. What greeted them were neatly arranged dishes and various ingredients in large and small storage bags. Seeing this scene, Wu Buping was shocked: "What a powerful formation."
Being able to put so many ingredients in the same place, some of them still look freshly cooked. Not only does it not change the taste, but it also keeps it fresh. This formation has exceeded Wu Buping's cognition. He said admiringly: "This is the most powerful magic weapon I have ever seen in my life."
Even if it was just a refrigerator for storing things, the formation on it had already crushed most of the refined things he had seen.
Du Heng didn't want to pay attention to what the three were doing in the refrigerator. He knew his refrigerator well, and it was clean and there would be no messy things in it. He lowered his head and looked at Xiao Cai and Lao Zhu who were lying on the ground.
Du Heng begged the two monks standing beside him: "Please, can you let me cover them with a piece of cloth?" Don't let the two people who died tragically be exposed in front of everyone like this. They did nothing wrong and should not be looked at with fear.
Du Heng's eyes were too sad. The two monks thought for a moment and said, "We just need to cover it up. Don't get close."
It's no wonder that the brothers in the Criminal Hall were cautious. Du Heng was now a suspect, and they were afraid that he would destroy the evidence. After all, there were so many methods in the world of cultivation, and they always had to take precautions.
After a while, Xiao Cai and Lao Zhu lay on the ground, covered with a layer of white cloth. Seeing the two bodies, one big and one small, Du Heng felt even more uncomfortable.
At this time, Wen Qiong and the others came out of the refrigerator. Wen Qiong looked at Du Heng solemnly. Du Heng saw a bad message in that look. Sure enough, when Su Zhan came out, he had an extra jade box in his hand.
Su Zhan sighed heavily and said four words: "When?" Du Heng's heart sank. He looked at Wen Qiong for help, and Wen Qiong nodded at Du Heng.
Du Heng opened the refrigerator himself. No one should have opened it on the way from the first canteen to the main canteen. Now that Su Zhan found it, it can only prove that it had been in his refrigerator before.
But Du Heng knew nothing about this and was dumbfounded.
Wu Buping asked majestically: "Fellow Daoist Du, may I ask what the white and red meat cut into large pieces in the storage bag are?" Wu Buping's focus was indeed peculiar. When everyone's eyes were on the place, he actually had time to pay attention to his ingredients.
Du Heng said weakly: "Snake meat!"
Su Zhan frowned slightly: "Then, Fellow Daoist Du, do you know what kind of snake meat this is?" Now it was Du Heng's turn to be stumped. Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu for help: "This is the snake my family caught."
Hearing this, Xuan Yu and the others stepped forward and said, "Yes, we caught them. During this period, Du Heng also used these two snakes to cook a lot of dishes for the monks of Shenxu Palace. The Xingtang can go and verify it."
Su Zhan didn't want to waste time discussing the topic of snake meat with Du Heng, so he asked the two monks, "Are you sure the duck soup in the dining hall is poisonous?" The two monks bowed solemnly, "Yes, this is the duck soup we brought back."
Du Heng's eyes were red. "I didn't! I never put anything other than food in the refrigerator! They are slandering me! They said the duck soup was poisonous, but my family and Master drank vermicelli soup this morning! They can testify!"
Su Zhan said, "Fellow Daoist Du, Sect Master Wen is your master. As for your family members, their testimony is not acceptable. Why don't you first explain how the poison appeared in your magic weapon? Don't worry, there is still time. Let's take our time."
It was noon, and it was time for the main dining hall to serve meals. A murder had occurred in the main dining hall, and more and more people were watching. The monks crowded at the door and whispered, and someone told the cause and effect of the incident to the people who came later. There were waves of fearful voices from the crowd: "How terrible! If we go to the dining hall without knowing the situation, won't we all be poisoned to death?" "What a cruel heart."
"What on earth is the Dingkun Sect thinking? They actually want to use this method to kill our fellow disciples on our Shenxu Palace's territory." "Yes! Get out of here, Dingkun Sect!"
Wen Qiong frowned slightly. She didn't expect the situation to develop into a confrontation between the two sects. But it was no wonder that the cultivators of Shenxu Palace were so excited. First, Wen Qiong disguised herself as a man and made a scene at Shenzao Peak to capture Yan Buhui, and then her disciples put him in the old duck soup. This was to poison two outer sect servants. If no one found out in the middle, when the cultivators went to the dining hall to eat at noon, wouldn't the entire Shenxu Palace be poisoned?
Besides, Du Heng had a good reputation before, and many of the people who ate in his dining hall were Yuanying cultivators from the sect. If the Yuanying cultivators were poisoned, wouldn't the powerful fighting power of Shenxu Palace be destroyed?
Du Heng's face turned red and white, and he had no words to say. He could only look helplessly at Su Zhan and the others who could make the decision, and a feeling of powerlessness lingered in Du Heng's heart.
Looking at the stiff bodies of Xiao Cai and Chef Zhu, and listening to the discussions of the monks of Shenxu Palace behind him, Du Heng wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into. He shook his head and said, "I don't know why the things are in the refrigerator."
There are not many monks who can open a refrigerator. Besides, apart from Du Heng and the others, who would open the refrigerator for no reason?
Wen Qiong was silent at this time, she looked at the body on the ground in silence. She knew that Du Heng was wronged, but she had no way to defend her. The leader of Dingkun Sect had not felt so aggrieved for many years.
Su Zhan chuckled and said, "At this point, it's hard for Fellow Daoist Du to say he didn't know...right? Then can I assume that you deliberately poisoned the dining hall to poison the monks of Shenxu Palace?"
Du Heng shook his head: "I didn't, I really didn't." Du Heng was so anxious that he almost cried. The monks' whispers were like knives stabbing his back. He couldn't even raise his head. Even if he told everyone to believe him now, but facing the inexplicable poison, what qualifications did he have to argue for himself?
At this time, a chuckle was heard from the crowd: "Is this the investigation method of the Shenxu Palace Criminal Court? I am dying of laughter. If someone didn't know, they would think you were a group of children playing house."
It was Jing Nan's voice! Du Heng turned his head suddenly and saw Jing Nan standing at the gate with a smile. Seeing the monks of Shenxu Palace staring at him with angry eyes, Jing Nan was not afraid at all: "Hey, why are you looking at me like that? These days, telling the truth makes people hate you."
Su Zhan looked at Jing Nan calmly: "Who is this fellow Taoist?" Jing Nan perfunctorily bowed: "Well, I'm Nan Jing, a disciple on a mission at Shenxu Palace. Speaking of which, I'm also a medical practitioner who has a basic understanding of pharmacology. I just saw the confrontation between the two elders, which really opened my eyes and amazed me. I've never seen anyone solve a case so muddled. If I were you, I would have resigned and returned home to retire. What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Du Heng was originally feeling very aggrieved, but after hearing Nan Nan's words, most of the aggrieved feeling in his heart disappeared.
Jing Nan scolded the two elders of Shenxu Palace in a few words. He ignored the swordsmen behind him who were surging with sword intent. He walked to the center of the field and gave Du Heng a soothing look. Then Jing Nan took out a fan from somewhere.
He unfolded the fan with a swish, and saw four large golden characters written on it: I am the most beautiful.
When everyone saw the four words on the fan, their expressions were like a dyeing factory, and Du Heng couldn't help laughing. As soon as they saw those words, they knew it was Xixi's handwriting. No one else could write such domineering words except Xixi.
Jing Nan closed his fan and pointed at Wu Buping unceremoniously: "Let me ask you, how long does it take from the time of entry to the time of onset?"
Wu Buping was actually stumped by Jing Nan's question. He hesitated and said, "Half a cup of tea is enough." Jing Nan chuckled, "Half a cup of tea? You overstated the time. In fact, for ordinary people, it only takes six seconds from the time they enter their mouth to the time when the effects occur."
Wu Buping was stunned: "Six Fingers?" Jing Nan took the jade box from Su Zhan's hand: "Here, borrow it for a while." Jing Nan's aura was so strong that when the jade box was taken away from Su Zhan's hand, he didn't even come back to his senses.
Jing Nan opened the jade box and took a look: "Wow, it's quite full." Only then did Du Heng see He Shi's true appearance. It was a white powder that looked like flour, but compared to flour, He Shi had a more crystal-like feeling.
Jing Nan closed the box and handed it to Wu Buping: "If you have any objections to the time I just said, you can find someone to try it. Of course, Elder Wu can also try it himself."
Su Zhan's face changed: "How dare you!" Jing Nan sneered: "You are allowed to accuse people of crimes without any evidence? Why can't I speak frankly and seek truth and be pragmatic?"
Jing Nan said to Wu Buping, "You can try it. If an ordinary person takes one percent of it, he will die in less than six seconds. A Jindan cultivator can last for a cup of tea, while a Yuanying cultivator can last longer. If he is lucky, he may survive. If I am wrong, I will show you when this box is finished."
Du Heng was anxious: "Nannan!"
Jing Nan still thought the matter was not serious enough. He fanned himself and looked at the group of people watching outside the door and bowed: "It is always inhumane to use humans for experiments. Can you trouble me to help catch a monkey in the mountains? Humans and monkeys are of the same origin. How long the drug's effect lasts can be known by trying it on a monkey."
329
The monkey was found soon. The monkey, which was almost as big as a human, was not afraid of people at all and bared its teeth at people.
Jing Nan fanned himself slowly and said to Wu Buping, "Elder Wu, Monkey has found it for you. Do you want to do the drug test or should I?"
Wu Buping said, "I'll do it." As he spoke, he took a red fruit from the medicine boy's hand. The fruit's skin was peeled off to reveal the moist flesh. Wu Buping used his spiritual energy to roll up a circle on the fruit.
When the traces of the liquid on the fruit could no longer be seen, Wu Buping threw the fruit to the monkey. The monkey caught the fruit, but did not put it in his mouth immediately. Instead, he held the fruit up and bared his teeth at Wu Buping.
Finally, the monkey put the fruit into his mouth and started to eat it. The monks' consciousness immediately focused on the monkey, and some monks started to count the time. The monkey didn't react at first and was eating happily, but when it reached the fifth finger snap, it screamed and fell to the ground and began to twitch. When it reached the sixth finger snap, the monkey died!
Wu Buping was a little embarrassed, and he said vaguely: "Fellow Daoist Nan Jing is familiar with the properties of this medicine." Jing Nan closed his fan and said with a smile: "Of course, as a medical practitioner, you must have some understanding of the properties of herbs, otherwise it would be bad to make a fool of yourself. Elder Wu, Elder Su, what do you think?"
Wu Buping and Su Zhan looked at each other thoughtfully, and Wen Qiong said with a smile: "If there was medicine in the vermicelli soup, it would have been poisoned from the first sip. Du Heng's duck blood vermicelli soup is very filling, even for me, I can't finish it in a cup of tea. There's not even any soup left in the bowls in front of these two people, isn't that wrong?"
Jing Nan chuckled, "Isn't it? If you ask me, it would be better to put the poison in when they are halfway through their meal rather than putting it in the dining hall."
Wu Buping pondered and stroked his white beard: "How are we going to explain the poison in the vermicelli soup and the poison in the magic weapon?"
Feng Gui's voice sounded: "I can explain what's going on in the refrigerator. The thieves have a trick called telekinesis, I'm sure everyone has heard of it."
Telekinesis may seem impossible, but it is not difficult to achieve in the world of cultivation. As long as he is fast enough and his spiritual energy is gentle enough to avoid being discovered, he can take the other person's things and run away. Of course, he can also put things in a place where others are not paying attention without the other person noticing.
Feng Gui said, "Du Heng opened the refrigerator just now, and the refrigerator is exposed to everyone's spiritual sense. As long as someone is quick enough, he can put things in. I think all the Yuanying cultivators present can do it. If you don't believe it, open the refrigerator again now. As long as someone is willing, there will be a lot more things in Du Heng's refrigerator."
The monks whispered to each other: "Yes, this method is indeed not uncommon."
Feng Gui looked at Su Zhan in the field with a half-smile: "Generally speaking, only you can find the things you put there. Just now, the two elders and Sect Master Wen went in. I wonder who found the jade box first?"
Su Zhan said slowly, "It's me. The jade box is on the shelf and you can see it at a glance."
Feng Gui laughed loudly: "If I were Du Heng, I would poison the food. After poisoning, I would quickly destroy the evidence and would never put it in my refrigerator. Also, if you want to poison the duck soup, the amount you need to put in is much larger than the amount used to poison the monkey. When will your hands be full? This is the second doubt."
At this time, Xuan Yu, who had been silent, spoke up. Xuan Yu said, "Is there a photo stone in the main dining hall? We can see what happened when Xiao Cai and the others were poisoned, and whether there were any suspicious people approaching."
Hearing Xuan Yu's words, Chang Le, the chef of the main dining hall, stood up and said, "There is no photo stone in the main dining hall. Nothing has happened in the main dining hall before, and it has always been safe."
Xuan Yu smiled at this time: "Unlike the peaceful main dining hall, the First Dining Hall has always been uneasy. In order to prevent the loss of evidence after something happens, the people in the First Dining Hall installed a large number of photo stones in the dining hall at their own expense."
Hearing this, one of the two monks who brought the refrigerator back changed his expression. Xuan Yu looked at Su Zhan as if he didn't see him. He said, "There is a photo stone in the dining hall. If it is really Du Heng who poisoned, we can find out by dropping the photo stone. Of course, if it is not him, we can also find out who the person with ulterior motives is."
Wu Buping's expression relaxed for a moment: "Oh? You have a photo stone? That's great. Go to the dining hall and get the photo stone."
Xuan Yu said: "I will go with you. I am the only one who can take down the photo stone I put there."
After Xuan Yu disappeared, Du Heng felt much more relaxed. Wen Qiong whispered to him, "Don't worry, I will definitely clear your name. When Lord Long gets the stone, if he sees the person who poisoned you, I will be the first one to kill him."
Du Heng looked at Wen Qiong gratefully: "Thank you, Master." Wen Qiong snorted: "These bastards really underestimate me, Wen Qiong. They actually have such despicable means to slander my disciples. How unreasonable."
Xuan Yu and his team were very fast, and soon everyone in the main dining hall saw what happened this morning. They saw the dead Xiao Cai happily carrying a lunch box to pack up the vermicelli soup, and Du Heng even scooped several pieces of duck breast meat into his bowl.
Until Xiao Cai left with the food box, the dining hall was clean and tidy, and Du Heng's actions were not unusual. After Xiao Cai left, Du Heng scooped a spoonful of old duck soup and rice to feed the small animals at home.
Then the monks from the Punishment Hall called Du Heng away, and the dining hall returned to peace. Only a few small animals in the kitchen were watching over the house, and the scene looked peaceful and tranquil.
Soon, the two monks from the Punishment Hall rushed into the dining hall again. Their actions were so rough that the wontons were frightened and hid everywhere. The next scene was very ironic. The two monks rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the kitchen, making the clean and tidy kitchen a mess. The monks present frowned. How could they go to look for things? They were clearly going to confiscate the house, right?
Then, the most ironic scene appeared. While one of the monks was fiddling with the refrigerator, the other monk pulled out a jade box from his sleeve. He shook out the powder in the jade box and poured it into two pots of old duck soup and stirred it with a spoon. The white powder dissolved silently in the duck soup. The monk seemed to be relieved. He picked up a bowl next to him and pretended to make a bowl of soup, but he didn't know that his actions had been faithfully recorded by the photo stone.
The monks of the Punishment Hall searched Wang Qingzhou's sleeve and found the jade box that was mostly missing. As his fellow disciples, the disciples of the Punishment Hall were all dumbfounded. The whole audience was in an uproar. Su Zhan looked at the monk who had taken the drug in shock: "Wang Qingzhou, why did you do this?!"
So the monk who drugged him was called Wang Qingzhou? Du Heng thought for a long time but couldn't figure out where he had seen this person before, let alone offend him.
Wang Qingzhou couldn't say anything. He could only kneel on the ground with his head down and remain silent. Su Zhan was heartbroken: "You have no grudge against Du Heng, why did you frame him?"
Wen Qiong smiled and said, "It is said that the disciples of the Shenxu Palace Punishment Hall are the most loyal. Who knows, maybe they are being instructed by someone? Elder Su, what do you think?"
Su Zhan frowned, "Master Wen, what do you mean by that?" Wen Qiong laughed, "Nothing. Didn't the cultivators from your Shenxu Palace say that we, the Dingkun Sect, have evil intentions and want to stir up trouble in Shenxu Palace to cause a fight between the two sects. Now it seems that maybe someone really doesn't like the two sects and wants to stir up trouble."
Wu Buping quickly put out the fire: "Master Wen, please be patient and let us hear the explanation from the instigator."
Xuan Yu said: "I believe that the person who poisoned Xiao Cai and Chef Zhu was not this person, but someone else. Why not ask the people who were in the main dining hall when the incident happened, and wonder if anyone was near Xiao Cai and Chef Zhu when they were eating vermicelli soup."
After hearing Xuan Yu's words, a servant in the crowd said hesitantly, "It seems... Chef Chang approached. Seeing that Chef Zhu was enjoying his meal, Chef Chang came over to take a look and even said a few words to Chef Zhu and the others."
Su Zhan looked at Chang Le who was in the crowd with dignity. Chang Le's face had turned pale. Su Zhan asked coldly, "Chang Le, is this true?"
Chang Le knelt on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed several times to the people in the field. His voice was trembling and his face was painful: "I did it."
Du Heng couldn't accept it: "What hatred do you have with Zhu Dalong? Do you have to take his life?!"
Chang Le's face flushed, his eyes were full of bloodshot, as if someone was strangling him. He took a few deep breaths and said, "I just don't like him, there's no reason."
Jing Nan said slowly: "Chang Le, have you thought it through? If you tell the truth now, there is still a way out. If you insist on your own way, even gods can't save you." There was something else in Jing Nan's words, and he looked like he was hinting at something.
However, as soon as Jing Nan finished speaking, Chang Le clenched his hands and said loudly: "I killed him! I just didn't like Zhu Dalong and Du Heng, and I just wanted to get rid of Zhu Dalong and frame Du Heng!"
Du Heng was horrified: "Chef Chang, I think I have no grudge against you, how could you do this to me?"
Chang Le sneered, staring fiercely at the two corpses on the ground: "Zhu Dalong deserves to die. He is obviously my subordinate, but he always disobeys my supervision. After the incident at Shenxiu Peak, the cooks and servants of the Second Canteen were temporarily transferred to the Main Canteen. But he is so good, he leads his men to disobey my supervision every day."
Wu Buping suddenly raised his voice: "Can you kill people like this?!"
Chang Le lowered his head and muttered to himself: "I thought it would be perfect, but I didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly."
The author has something to say: Chang Le and Wang Qingzhou: I killed the man, believe me!
Wen Qiong: They remain loyal even when facing death. They are two good dogs.
Xuan Yu and the other two: You two are not qualified.
