Chapter 552 Is There Another Hidden Story?

When Du Fei heard this, he thought Aunt Zheng had some exclusive gossip.

I was immediately interested and asked "Why isn't it simple?"

Aunt Zheng lowered her voice instinctively, "How did that person die? It is said that he was an innocent soul who ran into Zhihua Temple."

Du Fei was suddenly startled. He didn't expect that what Aunt Zheng said was unusual, that it was about strange powers and chaos.

He couldn't help but be very disappointed, but then he thought of Zhihua Temple.

Why did Qiao Dali get involved with Zhihua Temple again?

In order to find the treasure left by Nohara Hiroshi, Du Fei noticed Zhihua Temple in Lumicang Hutong.

Later, he discovered that Chu Chunhua was related to Monk Jin Shun of Zhihua Temple, which made him pay more attention to Zhihua Temple.

But Xiao Hei had been watching there for a while and never found out that Monk Jin Shun had any contact with anyone other than Chu Chunhua.

Originally, the matter between Qiao Dali and Qian Sanye had nothing to do with Chu Chunhua, but now it has an intersection with Zhihua Temple. Is it just a coincidence?

In Du Fei's mind, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

On the surface, he remained calm, just like in the gossip, and asked curiously, "Aunt Zheng, why are you bringing up an innocent soul?"

Aunt Zheng said matter-of-factly, "You don't know, this person who died in Nancheng this time is not a kind person. What do you say? Kicking the widow's door, digging up the family graves, beating the blind, and scolding the mute are all evil and reckless." Smoked."

Du Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although Qiao Dali was not a good person, he was not as evil as Aunt Zheng described him.

But it wasn't Du Fei who was scolding him, so he didn't bother to elaborate and just listened.

Xiao Wang, who was on the side, also came over at this time and interjected, "I heard that Zhihua Temple seems to be someone's family temple~ How can there be any innocent souls?"

Aunt Zheng curled her lips and said, "You kid, what do you know~"

Xiao Wang chuckled.

Aunt Zheng continued, "What you said is true, but you only know one thing but not the other. Let me tell you, this Zhihua Temple has an incredible background. There was a great eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, who seemed to be called... Wang Zhen or Liu Zhenlai?"

The information in this era is still very limited, and the amount of knowledge of ordinary people is very limited.

Xiao Wang is considered to have a wide range of knowledge, and he was a little unsure and said, "It should be Wang Zhen. I really want to hear about it. Is it Brother Du?" He said and looked at Du Fei.

Of course Du Fei knew, and replied with a smile, "Zhihua Temple was indeed Wang Zhen's family temple at the beginning. Wang Zhen was the eunuch in charge of the ceremony of Zhu Qi Town, Ming Yingzong. Later, the Ming Yingzong was captured during the conquest, and the Ming Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline. The Tumu Fort incident had a lot to do with him.”

Aunt Zheng slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, yes, that's Wang Zhen! I'm old and my memory is not good." Then she gave Du Fei a thumbs up, "Otherwise, I still have to study!"

But before he could finish his words, he saw Sun Lan coming in from outside and said, "Sister Zheng, why are you studying? What good things are you talking about?"

Then he saw Du Fei again and said with a smile, "Hey? Xiao Du, you're here so early too!"

Du Fei called "Aunt Sun" and said that Aunt Zheng was talking about the Nancheng case.

Sun Lan was also an inquisitive person. When he heard this, he immediately became confused. He put the cloth bag in his hand on the desk and said mysteriously, "It's really weird to say that the person who died was wronged." It’s a terrible death to take your life.”

Aunt Zheng continued, "Little grandson, you've heard about it too! Tsk, tsk, tsk~ It's so scary!"

"No way~" Sun Land said, "I heard Xiao Gu from the Health Bureau say that that man's intestines were hung on the beams, and he hung himself!"

Du Fei was listening on the side and wondered where Sun Lan heard it. It was completely unreliable.

But this is normal. If these old ladies gossiping about each other is reliable, then it is really unreliable.

In comparison, Du Fei was more interested in the Zhihua Temple mentioned by Aunt Zheng.

After Sun Lan finished speaking, she interrupted and said, "Aunt Zheng, didn't you finish what you just said? What happened to Zhihua Temple?"

Aunt Zheng, because she listened to Sun Lan's alarmist talk, naturally refused to lag behind, and immediately said, "Damn it, that guy named Qiao said he was going to Zhihua Temple and wanted to buy something from the monk in the temple. The monk refused to buy it, and he was too big There was a big fuss, saying that a monk was beaten, and then the innocent soul in the temple was attacked..."

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice even more, "It is said that he is possessed by him, and when the seven days are up, he will take his soul and take his life!"

"Ah~" Sun Lan was startled.

Although I now pay attention to materialism and do not believe in strange powers and gods.

But Aunt Zheng and Sun Lan both came from the old society. They said they didn't believe it, but they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.

Du Fei, on the other hand, was concerned that Qiao Dali went to Zhihua Temple to buy and sell by force.

It's probably similar to Qian Sanye's side.

After listening to Aunt Zheng's wishes, she was not only rejected, but also had a conflict, and ended up feeling disgraced.

Du Fei couldn't help but think of Monk Jinshun who had contact with Chu Chunhua. Could it be him who had a conflict with Qiao Dali?

Thinking of this, I asked casually.

It's a pity that Aunt Zheng also heard about it. She only knew that he was a monk from Zhihua Temple, but she really didn't know his specific name.

Du Fei had already expected this result.

To put it bluntly, Aunt Zheng heard these gossips from others, and she added more fuel and jealousy to attract people's attention.

She doesn't care about what exactly happened and whether it is consistent with the facts~

Du Fei knew that it would be useless to ask again, so he simply kept it in his mind and talked about it later when he had an opportunity.

Two days later, Sunday came again.

Last time I picked up Zhu Ting from get off work, I met Zhang Hongying and his wife, and we arranged to go to their house for a party today.

Du Fei got up early in the morning and rode his bicycle to pick up Zhu Ting.

After Zhang Hongying got married, Hu Lin's work unit allocated a house with one bedroom and one living room near Heping Gate.

But once they are transferred to the district this time, they should be able to move soon.

At that time, it will definitely not be a one-bedroom and one-living room, but will eventually start as a two-bedroom building.

As for Qiao Dali's case, there was still no progress after two days.

Wang Dacheng was having a headache when he took it in his hand. The other party was obviously a veteran and did not leave any clues.

In addition, Qiao Dali's own interpersonal relationships are complicated, and it is a mess to start with his motives.

Not to mention the entire capital, just in Nancheng alone, there are more than seven or eight people who want to kill Qiao Dali and dare to do it.

The other person was Gao Tiancheng, who was secretly glad.

Last time I learned from Du Fei that Qiao Dali's grandson used him as a cover to use the banner as a tiger skin.

Originally, I was trying to maintain my posture and planned to use some means to rectify it.

Unexpectedly, before he could take action, the man died mysteriously!

Fortunately, Gao Tiancheng hasn't taken action yet, otherwise he would have been involved.

On the other hand, Master Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Qiao Dali was dead, there was no more plague god, and his son was successfully released.

This made Mr. Qian very grateful to Du Fei.

Liang Weiguo got his wish and switched from a civilian policeman to a criminal policeman.

The one who captured Mr. Qian’s son

Zhang Wei became the unlucky guy.

He was sent to take over Liang Weiguo's original job.

Actually speaking, Zhang Wei was a little unjust. He was just out of favor and found his brother-in-law when he was fighting with Mr. Qian's son and handed him two cigarettes.

He didn't say anything at the time, just to let him out, he was detained for two more days. ??

Ordinarily this is nothing to worry about.

But Gao Tiancheng was holding his breath, but Qiao Dali died again, and the fire in his heart could not be released.

Then I'm sorry, who made you hit the muzzle?

It's past eleven o'clock in the morning.

Du Fei and Zhu Ting came to the dormitory building of Hepingmen.

This was not Zhu Ting's first time here. She was very familiar with the road. She parked her car in the carport and went directly to the third floor.

Knocking on the door, Zhang Hongying and Hu Lin were busy cooking in the kitchen.

Zhang Haiyang and Zhou Xiaobai had already arrived early.

The door to the room was not closed. As soon as Du Fei and Zhu Ting came up, they saw Zhang Haiyang and Zhou Xiaobai picking leeks by the coffee table behind the door curtain.

With a "crash" sound, the curtain of the door that 'Grass Pearl' passed through was lifted.

Zhang Haiyang raised his head and immediately called out, "Brother Du, Sister Ting, you are here~"

Zhou Xiaobai also put down the leek in his hand, said hello, glanced at Du Fei, and secretly pouted.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Hongying leaned out of the kitchen wearing an apron and shouted, "Xiao Ting, help pick the leeks quickly. Xiao Du, what are you going to do? Find a job by yourself! Otherwise, we won't be here until one o'clock." You may not be able to eat.”

Du Fei followed Zhu Ting and found that the floor of Zhang Hongying's house was painted with light blue paint.

He glanced at Zhang Haiyang and Zhou Xiaobai again, and they walked in without changing their shoes.

Zhu Ting sneered and said, "Humph~ He said he was inviting us to dinner, but in the end we have to take action."

Zhang Hongying didn't feel that she was wrong at all, and said, "I don't know what it means to have enough food and clothing by yourself?"

Du Fei walked over and took a look at the kitchen.

Although it has one bedroom and one living room, the area of ​​the house is not small, about forty square meters.

The kitchen is not spacious, but it is not cramped for two people.

Living conditions were tight at this time, and there wasn’t much to pay attention to.

Often the living room and the bedroom are not separated. When you enter the room, you will find the bed, and slippers will be placed on the kang.

The same goes for Zhang Hongying's family. The living room is not large and can still hold a coffee table. In the bedroom, there is a folding round table with several cold dishes and two bottles of Fenjiu.

Under the table, there is a large aluminum basin filled with cold water, containing soda and a large watermelon.

In the kitchen, Hu Lin was chopping meat with a kitchen knife. Judging from his technique, he must be that of their chef.

However, Zhang Hongying is not a decoration. She is kneading dough on the panel, and she is quite energetic.

Du Fei smiled and said, "Brother Hu, your knife skills are pretty good!"

Hu Lin turned around and said, "Brother Du is here~"

Du Fei said, "Sister Hongying just said that I should find a job by myself."

Hu Lin said cheerfully, "Don't listen to her. You sit with Zhu Ting for a while. You haven't prepared anything. Just make some dumplings to save trouble~"

Zhang Hongying, however, was not polite and quickly interrupted, "By the way, there are peanuts and edamame in that pot. Can you take a look?"

The stove is a gas tank, just at the door of the kitchen, with a large aluminum pot sitting on it.

It looked like it was old at first glance, so it definitely wasn't bought after they got married. The lid of the pot was deformed.

Du Fei reached out and opened it, and suddenly

A burst of heat came out.

The skinned peanuts and edamame were mixed together in the pot.

It should be the peanuts first and the edamame when they are almost ready, otherwise the edamame will be overcooked and the peanuts will not be cooked yet~

Sure enough, Zhang Hongying said, "The peanuts must be ripe. The main thing is to look at the edamame."

Du Fei was not polite, reached out and picked up the colander from the side, fished out a few green edamame beans, picked them up, put his mouth down, and sucked out three beans.

It should have been soaked in salt water beforehand, it is full of flavor.

Du Fei chewed it for a few times and swallowed it, then reached out and turned off the heat, "It's done, then increase the heat."

As he spoke, he saw an empty enamel basin with a peony flower pattern placed beside the pot, and asked, "Can the flowers and feathers be put here?"

Zhang Hongying was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was talking about peanuts and edamame. "Yes, put them all in and bring them to the table. I'll give them to you guys to eat with wine later."

Du Fei responded and started to scoop them into the basin with a colander.

But after a few strokes, there was a "clatter" and a metal collision sound.

Du Fei said "Huh", and took the colander to stir it again, and actually fished out a brass lock from it.

I couldn't help but wonder, "Sister Hongying, how come there is a lock?"

Without waiting for Zhang Hongying to respond, Hu Lin said, "I heard from the chef in the cafeteria that when you cook edamame, put a piece of copper in the pot, and the color will be bright when it is cooked."

This was the first time Du Fei heard of it.

But the effect seems to be quite good, at least the edamame fished out of the pot is indeed quite green.

It can be regarded as a life trick. I thought to try it when I go back to see if it works.

At this time, Chu Cheng and Zhou Xiaoli also came.

It should be their first time here. They came in to say hello and took a tour.

Then Zhou Xiaoli also joined the group picking chives.

After Hu Lin finished chopping the meat, he became a hands-off shopkeeper, took off his apron, and said with a smile, "Let's go out and smoke one?"

Du Fei and Chu Cheng agreed happily. Zhang Haiyang saw it and wanted to smoke, so he hurriedly shouted, "Brother-in-law, wait a minute, I'll go too~"

But before he finished speaking, he was strongly suppressed by Zhang Hongying, who glared at him and said, "Why are you going? You're so young and you want to learn to smoke! Are you looking for a cigarette?"

Zhang Haiyang shrank his neck and immediately became shriveled.

Zhou Xiaobai next to him gloated and laughed.

At this time, Du Fei and the other two had already arrived downstairs.

Hu Lin took out a box of Peony cigarettes from his pocket and gave Du Fei and Chu Cheng one each. The three of them lit up on their own.

Hu Lin laughed and said self-deprecatingly, "It's just that the place is too small. When there are too many people, I can't turn around."

Du Fei said, "You should be content. Living in a big building, there is collective heating in winter, right?"

Hu Lin nodded, "That's true. It's really more convenient in winter without burning the stove."

Chu Cheng continued, "Brother Hu, you are transferred to Dongcheng this time. You shouldn't live here for long, right?"

Hu Lin responded, but he was not very excited when he mentioned moving and job transfer.

Du Fei could see that it was not that he was cunning, but that he was really worried.

It is said that being a secretary to the top leader of the district is a good thing, but is it really like this?

Is there another secret that outsiders don't know.

However, this kind of thing belongs to other people's privacy. Du Fei and Hu Lin have only met for the second time, and they are not close enough, so it's not good to ask too much.

Soon, Hu Lin also realized that his mood was not right, and he immediately cheered up and laughed, "By the way, brother Du, you and Zhu Ting are about to get married, right?"
