In the kitchen of Li Mansion,
It was already afternoon time, and the servants were outside the kitchen, preparing for the preliminary work of cooking.
This time Li Huaiyun prepared more than ten dishes, and because it was a birthday celebration, the entire family would sit down together.
Therefore, the quantity is larger and preparations need to be made in advance.
In the kitchen, everyone except Li Huaiyun was preparing outside.
Li Huaiyun stood in front of the stove, glanced at the prepared items, and when he saw that nothing was missing, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start making cream.
Uncle Fu stood aside and looked at Li Huaiyun curiously. He felt that this posture and preparation were not cooking at all, especially eggs and milk! It's confusing,
After the young master came out of prison, his personality and behavior have always been strange, not like before at all.
He asked, "Master, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Shh! Uncle Fu, just watch with peace of mind and don't ask any questions yet."
"Um!"
Li Huaiyun cracked more than ten eggs into a bowl, separated the egg whites inside, picked up the chopsticks, and started stirring quickly.
With his hand speed and strength, the egg liquid was quickly broken up, and a large layer of bubbles emerged. He then sprinkled in the sugar and salt, and started stirring again until everything inside was completely dispersed.
Uncle Fu looked on blankly, wondering what Li Huaiyun was going to do? He wanted to ask several times, but he never saw the other party free.
"Make a fire!" Li Huaiyun shouted.
Uncle Fu simply washed it, then put the pot on the stove, and then started to burn firewood.
After the pot was slightly heated, Li Huaiyun poured the beaten egg liquid into the pot, and then used slender chopsticks to start stirring again.
"This fire is so big!"
"Okay, Master!"
After stirring for a while, he poured the milk that Fu Bo had worked so hard to get into the pot, stirring while pouring it. After waiting for a while, he picked up the chopsticks again and started to stir in the pot again. Keep stirring until it starts to foam.
"The heat is well controlled!" Li Huaiyun praised, scooping up the freshly made butter from the pot and placing it on a large bowl.
Then he added egg yolks to the flour, kneaded it, fermented it, put it into a square container, and baked it.
Due to the firewood, it was a little difficult to control the heat. After trying many times, I finally managed to do it.
Uncle Fu looked at the sticky white stuff and cake and asked curiously, "Master, what are you making?"
"Cream and cake!"
"What are these two things for?"
Li Huaiyun gave Uncle Fu a spoonful, "Try this cream first!"
Uncle Fu looked at the contents in the spoon and was a little resistant at first. This cooking method was very unpalatable. However, Li Huaiyun asked him to try it and he couldn't refuse, so he took the spoon, put it in his mouth, and gently Take a lick.
Just a slight lick made him feel the sweetness reverberating in his mouth, and then he put the spoon into his mouth. Unexpectedly, the thing called cream melted in his mouth, and the taste was quite good.
Uncle Fu was quite surprised by this and asked, "Sir, where did you learn this? This stuff tastes very good!"
"It's not just delicious!" Li Huaiyun looked proud and got some cake for Uncle Fu.
This soft cake also surprised Fu Bo, "Where did the young master learn how to make it?"
"I can't say that!" Li Huaiyun asked Uncle Fu to find two pieces of white paper.
He took the white paper and rolled it into the shape of a funnel, put the cream inside, and then began to slowly squeeze the cream onto the cake, and then used a knife to rest on it.
"Uncle Fu, prepare candles for me to use during dinner in the evening."
"Okay!" Fubo responded.
"After you find someone, tell the others and gather in the yard. I have to arrange some other things."
"Okay! Master, I'm looking forward to your birthday celebration."
Li Huaiyun loaded the cake into a large bowl and covered it with another bowl to ensure that nothing would fall into it.
Naturally, this gift was placed in my aunt's room. It would not be appropriate to hand it over directly to my aunt outside.
Li Huaiyun spent some time preparing other things, and it was almost time for the sun to set.
Uncle Fu has also prepared the nutritious soup for Hongyun. Li Huaiyun heard that a lot of nutrients were added, such as ginseng and velvet antlers.
Now everything is ready, Li Huaiyun has also arranged the servants, and is waiting for his aunt to come back in the evening.
Li Huaiyun asked Uncle Fu to keep an eye on Hongyun and notify him immediately as soon as Hongyun came back. Now he wanted to go back to his room and was going to let Narcissus massage his shoulders to relieve the soreness after the busy work.
Just when he was about to leave the yard, he heard a servant running towards him, saying that there was a police officer outside the door and wanted to see him.
Li Huaiyun pinched his chin, arrest? Could it be Capt. Liu? oh! Maybe they have found the murderer! For this reason, he immediately became energetic and strode towards the gate of the mansion.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Capt. Liu and three other captors standing aside. The expression on Capt. Liu's face was quite solemn. His sword was standing on the ground and he was pressing the handle with both hands.
The other catchers were whispering, but he was the only one with half-closed eyes, seemingly thinking about something.
Li Huaiyun walked up, and when he got closer, he discovered that Capt. Liu's clothes were somewhat torn, and his face had some minor scars. It was obvious that he had been in a fight. He looked at Capt. Liu up and down, "What's wrong?" !Why is Brother Liu like this?"
When Capt. Liu saw Li Huaiyun, the original gloom on his face dissipated a lot, and he hurriedly put away the knife, "Brother! I really need your help this time!"
"what's the situation."
"Didn't we find two corpses outside the city gate before?"
"Yes! After our meticulous search, we finally identified the suspect!"
"Are you King Lin's guard?"
Liu Captou looked around, and then nodded vigorously, "Brother, it is indeed true, but something even more incredible happened after that."
"What?"
"Those two corpses actually ran away in the middle of the night! It was during my vigil at that time, and they were discovered by me. But unexpectedly, I couldn't beat the two corpses, and I was accidentally injured."
When Li Huaiyun heard this, he was immediately confused, "What, the body actually ran away and injured you, Brother Liu?"
"This is really unheard of! So did you find the escaped body?"
Capt. Liu shook his head helplessly, "No, now we also want to know the news about how those two corpses escaped!"
ah! Li Huaiyun pinched his forehead, thinking that this matter would be a big deal! “Have you notified the county magistrate?”
Capt. Liu shook his head again, "No! However, the county magistrate should know. We just want to recover those two bodies as soon as possible."
He said with sincerity, "So, I came here as soon as possible. I just hope that you, brother, can help us recover the body!"
"This is troublesome," Li Huaiyun fell into deep thought. He had never encountered this before. How could there be a dead person running away directly from the morgue? This is so puzzling.
"Is it okay tomorrow?" he asked. After all, he had to celebrate his aunt's birthday tonight. If he went there now, he didn't know when he would be back.
Liu Captou looked panicked. Logically speaking, there was no problem, but he didn't want to delay. Finding the two corpses as soon as possible and figuring out what was going on was the best way.
And he doesn't have to face having his salary deducted, "Brother! The situation is urgent. I hope you can help as soon as possible. After all, for the stability of Kyoto, finding the two corpses in time is the most important thing."
Li Huaiyun lowered his head and pondered, a little hesitant, but at the last moment, he decided to go to the Yamen with Liu Captou. If there was really a monster causing trouble, surrender as soon as possible to avoid more people being harmed.
"Captain Liu will stay here for a while. I'll go in and give you some instructions before heading to the Yamen!"
"Okay! Thank you for your help, brother!" Liu Captou immediately cupped his fists and saluted, and he felt that the pressure in his heart suddenly eased a lot.
Li Huaiyun returned to the lobby, then explained some things to Uncle Fu, and prepared to go to the Yamen.
"Master!" Uncle Fu called him, "Can you come back on time this time?"
"I can guarantee that I will come back safely, but I don't know if it will be on time! If everything goes well, I should be able to come back early."
After hearing this, Uncle Fu nodded slightly, "Master, you must come back as soon as possible. We have no experience in handling this thing of yours! We don't know what to do!"
"Yes, I will!"
Li Huaiyun walked out of the gate and followed Liu Captou to the Yamen.
"Brother Liu! What exactly did you find out about this case?"
Liu Captou, who was standing beside him, pursed his lips and took a deep breath, "We asked the guards who left the city and the people who were nearby at that time. They all said they saw a group of people outside the city gate. Stopped the father and daughter."
"Follow-up, they didn't see anything, and we searched the scene for a long time, and finally found some evidence,"
"What evidence?"
"There was a rope near where the father and daughter were hanging. It can be seen from the material and quality of the rope that it is top quality!"
Li Huaiyun frowned, "Are you saying that the origin of this rope is unusual? It is most likely that it came from Prince Lin's palace?"
"According to our investigation, what happened is indeed the case. King Lin has a group of troops in his hands, and the token is tied with this rope."
"My guess was correct, it was indeed the original group!" Li Huaiyun looked angry. The stall owner was right. He left a little late.
"The guards of King Lin are so bold and dare to kill people at the feet of the emperor. Do they think no one dares to arrest them?"
"Most likely yes!"
"This case is considered ordinary. How could someone suddenly attack this father and daughter? This is a bit too strange. In addition, the two corpses left directly, which makes people feel even more incredible!"
Li Huaiyun shook his head. These things were so weird that people couldn't help but feel chills running down their backs.
He followed Liu Captou into the Yamen, and met the county magistrate in the corridor.
Unexpectedly, the county magistrate subconsciously took a step back when he saw Li Huaiyun, and then covered his face with his hands. Seeing that face reminded him of the painful experience of being slapped in the face.
"Captain Liu! Why did you bring this man here? You forgot who this guy is!"
"I know it very well!" he said loudly.
