Chapter 134 Participating in the Dali Temple Interrogation
Ye Chutang paraded through the city leading a lame deer, attracting countless people's attention.
Someone who knew her greeted her and asked, "Miss Ye, where did you get this deer?"
"I went hunting in Meishan today. I was lucky and hunted a deer."
She deliberately acted so high-profile to let everyone know that she was not in the capital today.
"I didn't expect Miss Ye to be not only good at writing, but also so good at riding and shooting."
"Miss Ye, where are you taking the deer?"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Prince Chen saved me on the day when Prince An's mansion was in trouble. This deer is a thank you gift."
Soon, the news that she gave a deer to Qi Yanzhou spread.
Qi Yanzhou was investigating the Yunyin Lake encirclement case at the Dali Temple. After hearing the news, he immediately returned home.
As soon as he returned to Prince Chen's Mansion, Ye Chutang came with the deer.
After the concierge invited Ye Chutang in, he said respectfully, "Miss Ye, you came at a great time. The prince just returned home. He knew Miss Ye was coming, so he asked you to go directly to the back garden to find him."
Ye Chutang responded and led the deer to the back garden.
Qi Yanzhou was sitting in the pavilion beside the lotus pond, making tea.
Seeing Ye Chutang coming over, he poured her a glass.
"The 'ghost thief' is very powerful. He made the emperor very angry today."
Ye Chutang tied the rope around the deer's neck to the porch pillar and sat down opposite Qi Yanzhou.
"I heard that the emperor wanted to humiliate himself, and no one could stop him."
After that, she asked, "The emperor didn't vent his anger on the prince, did he?"
"My trapping plan was successful. The failure to catch the 'ghost thief' has nothing to do with me. The emperor has no reason to be angry with me."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he asked curiously, "Why did Miss Ye suddenly go hunting in Meishan?"
"I met the Fifth Master Song last night. He and his friends said they were going to Meishan to hunt. I was very interested, so I went with them. We were lucky. This deer is for His Majesty."
"It seems that Miss Ye and Mr. Song get along very well. They can go out and play together just after they met."
Ye Chutang felt that these words were a bit off and a bit sour.
As soon as she thought of this, she denied her own thoughts.
Prince Chen likes the Miao witch doctor and it is impossible for him to have any feelings for her.
In all likelihood, it’s male chauvinism that’s at work!
After all, they had physical contact, and according to the ancient people's thinking, she was his woman.
"When you meet a good friend, a thousand cups are not enough; when you are not on speaking terms, a single word is too much; it is just fate."
Ye Chutang finished speaking and changed the subject.
"Your Majesty, I heard there's an epidemic in Jiangnan. Is it serious?"
Qi Yanzhou picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, extinguishing the irritability in his heart.
"Don't worry, Miss Ye. Caesar brought the prescription and herbs with him. The plague will not spread widely."
He did not explain the situation in Jiangnan clearly in the Golden Palace, in order to force the emperor to speed up disaster relief efforts.
Ye Chutang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that the plague can be controlled."
She stood up and said goodbye.
Qi Yanzhou hurriedly asked her to stay, "The venison I roasted is pretty good, Miss Ye, would you like to stay and have a taste?"
"No, I've already had lunch. Enjoy your meal, Your Highness."
When Ye Chutang left, he suddenly remembered something.
"Your Highness, I went to the Kong Mansion to eavesdrop last night. The siege of Yunyin Lake was done by the Kong family and An... Earl Yongning. They also mentioned an organization called 'Night Evil'. The Dali Temple can start from there."
Qi Yanzhou knew about "Night Fury".
"Night Fury" is an assassination organization that appears and disappears at will. The leader uses poison to control his subordinates and prevent them from betraying him.
They had an unattended shop in the black market, which was full of wooden signs.
If someone wants Night Fury to do something for them, they can leave the task and bounty amount on an empty wooden sign.
If the Night Fury is willing to take the call, he will flip the card and arrange a meeting.
After listening to Qi Yanzhou's introduction, Ye Chutang asked, "So, the Dali Temple and Jingzhao Prefecture didn't find out anything?"
"Don't worry, Miss Ye. I will find evidence and make Kong Qingyuan and Zhao Mingxu pay the price."
Zhao Mingxu was previously the Prince of An and now the Earl of Yongning.
Ye Chutang believed that Qi Yanzhou had this ability.
But she could also help him.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if I can participate in the interrogation at the Dali Temple?"
It is not difficult for her to pry open a person's mouth.
Qi Yanzhou did not agree immediately.
"The prison and methods of the Dali Temple are enough to give people nightmares at a glance. Do you still want to go, Miss Ye?"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "When the prince sees my interrogation methods, he will know that the torture in the Dali Temple is nothing."
After that, she asked, "It's okay if one or two people die, right?"
"It doesn't matter if they all die."
"With your words, I feel relieved. See you at the Dali Temple at midnight?"
Qi Yanzhou nodded, "See you at midnight."
After confirming the time, Ye Chutang returned to the Shangshu Mansion.
As soon as she entered the door, Butler Chen said, "Miss, the master asked you to go to his yard when you come back."
"Go tell him I'll go after dinner."
Butler Chen knew that Ye Chutang was a man of his word.
"Yes, Miss."
Ye Chutang returned to Ningchuyuan.
Jun'er immediately ran forward and asked curiously, "Eldest sister, is hunting fun?"
"It's fun. When your body recovers, I'll take you out to play."
"Thank you, elder sister."
Shan Er stepped forward and said, "My lady, the game that the servant brought earlier was placed here with ice cubes for fear that it might go bad. Do you need to dispose of it?"
Ye Chutang glanced at the game in the ice basin.
"Don't deal with the hare and pheasant. I'll give them away later."
In fact, giving it as a gift was just a cover, and she would put it into the space soon.
"Yes, Miss, what should we do with the meat? Should we freeze it in the ice cellar?"
"No, the sun is very strong recently, which is suitable for making jerky. You and Le'er cut the bear meat, venison and wild boar meat into strips, and I will marinate them."
If you want to eat fresh ones, you can go to Meishan to hunt a few later.
Shan Er agreed, "As you command, what would you like to eat tonight, young lady?"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Let's eat barbecue."
Before she returned to the city, she had planned to have a barbecue in the evening, so she asked everyone to wait for her to come back.
"Dan'er, go to the big kitchen and get the coal and barbecue utensils. I'll prepare the ingredients for the barbecue."
Jun'er quickly said, "Eldest sister, I want to help."
"Okay, Le'er, go get the food out of the kitchen and I'll see if there's anything I can use."
You can’t just eat meat when barbecue, otherwise it will be too greasy, you have to pair it with some vegetables.
Le'er quickly brought out the vegetables that she had gotten from the big kitchen in the morning.
Since there weren't many people in Ningchuyuan, the amount of food they took wasn't that much.
Ye Chutang took a look and said to Le'er, "Go to the big kitchen and see if there are any other vegetables or mushrooms."
"Yes, Miss."
Ye Chutang asked Jun'er and Jinzhi to pick vegetables, and she went into the kitchen with wild boar meat, bear meat and deer chops.
When Dan'er and Le'er came back with the barbecue utensils and vegetables, she had already marinated the meat with a special barbecue seasoning.
There are also several flavors of dipping sauce.
She knew that there were no iron sticks or grids in ancient times, so she took some out from the space.
Then teach a few people to skewer the washed vegetables and mushrooms, as well as the marinated diced meat.
Although everyone was puzzled by the mirror-smooth iron skewers and the grid pieces they had never seen before, no one asked more questions.
They did whatever Ye Chutang asked them to do and soon prepared all the ingredients.
