I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Cui Tao saw that Han Qi's face was getting more and more gloomy, and finally realized that Han Qi didn't want to be a mother even more than he didn't want to be a father.

Cui Tao faintly had a bad premonition, and sure enough, this premonition soon became a reality.

"Call once in the future and save a meal." Han Qi said coldly.

Cui Tao: "..."

She knew: dogs are the nature of this man.

Then Han Qi said another sentence, which made Cui Tao completely understand: this man is not the most 'dog', only more 'dog'.

"The murderer can't be found within three days, and then I can only eat the officials' meals every day."

What was clearly said before was that Kaifeng Mansion found the murderer based on the clues she provided, so they gave her three meals a day as rewards.Not to mention the harsher conditions now, she was actually restricted to only eat the meals given by the officials, and she couldn't even eat the meals given by Li Yuan.

Cui Tao looked at Han Qi very surprised, she couldn't believe it was possible?Sure enough, this man 'doesn't have the most dog, only more dog', the dog is out of the sky!

Okay, then she has to show her hands to everyone.

Cui Tao immediately put forward a condition to Han Qi that her actions during the three days of arresting the murderer could not be restricted, and she demanded that the people in the mansion must fully cooperate and let her order.

Han Qi agreed.

Cui Tao: "And you can't be hungry for this investigation. I want to eat chicken, broiled chicken, stewed chicken, steamed chicken, cold chicken..." And you, a caring iron rooster!

Han Qi glanced at Cui Tao sharply, but finally raised his hand to signal Zhang Chang to prepare.

After a while, a whole chicken feast was prepared for Cui Tao in the wing room of Kaifeng Mansion.

The meal delivery man from the Eight Immortals Tower, after serving Cui Tao wholeheartedly, poured tea for her, cut a plate of fruit, and then asked Cui Tao with a poignant smile if she needed anything else.

Cui Tao tore off a piece of roasted chicken leg and put it in his mouth, then shook his head to say no.But this person still refused to leave, still looking at Cui Tao with a smile.

Only then did Cui Tao realize that this was waiting for a reward.In the restaurants of the Song Dynasty, there were often some idle men called "sibo" who came to serve the guests, and were responsible for running errands, pouring tea, and peeling fruits, in order to seek some rewards from the guests.Now this servant came to deliver food to her, plus some cloth dishes. The service was very thoughtful, so it should be rewarded.

But Cui Tao had no money, and it was not kind to ask Li Yuan for help. Li Yuan's family conditions were not good, and he was always short of money.It is even more impossible to call Zhang Chang, he would have given it if he wanted to.It would be even more ridiculous to pass on this matter to Han Qi.

Cui Tao asked the servant's name, He An, and smiled at him, "Would you like to gamble with me?"

"What's the bet?" He An asked puzzled.

"Remember what I said in a while, go back and tell half of the tea, meal and wine doctor in the Eight Immortals Building, and when he asks you for the other half, ask him for two pennies. If you get the money, it's yours; If you can't get it, come find me again." Cui Tao said.

"Two pennies? So much?" He An's eyes widened when he heard that, and he had a chance to get so much money with a gamble, of course he had to gamble.

Although he didn't know what this little lady was doing, but she was able to afford such a big table full of chicken dinner, she was considered a character.What's more, she is in Kaifeng Mansion, and she is from the mansion office. Are you afraid that she will escape?

Seeing that He An agreed, Cui Tao said to him while eating the broiled chicken: "The skin of this broiled chicken is brownish red, the aroma is compelling, the meat is tender and juicy, very good. The fruit is even more perfect, the meat has a fruity taste, the fragrance relieves greasy, the fruit has a meaty aroma, and the taste is different."

Then, Cui Tao took another sip of the stewed chicken soup with bamboo shoots, "The soup is not tasty enough, and the bamboo shoots are not tasty enough either. If you tear the boiled bamboo shoots by hand, it will be easier to soak in the umami flavor of the chicken soup. Don't use rapeseed." Oil, you have to use chicken oil to fry, this chicken soup will be mellow and fragrant."

Cui Tao went to eat steamed chicken again, put down her chopsticks after only one mouthful, and frowned, "Xiao, this must be the worst dish in the Eight Immortals Building. Soak it in water for an hour and then marinate it. The pot is used for steaming, but the heat is not good, one side is tender, the other side is old, it is time to repair the stove."

The last is the cold chicken. This cold chicken is also served cold after the chicken is steamed. Naturally, it has the same problem as the steamed chicken, but it is covered by the seasoning, so the fishy smell can be reduced.Cui Tao only picks one problem with the seasoning, which is also a very soulful thing-sugar.

"Just a little sugar?" He An asked in surprise.

"Don't underestimate this bit of sugar. Adding it will improve the taste a lot. It will not only enhance the salty taste, but also improve the umami taste. If you don't understand, just taste it and you will know. Just write it down and tell the tea and rice to measure the wine. The Doctor is, if he's a serious cook, he'll understand."

After Cui Tao finished speaking, she waved her hand and sent He An to leave quickly.She has limited time, so talking too much will delay eating.

After a stick of incense, Cui Tao burped happily, then put down her chopsticks, walked out of the room slowly, and stretched.Looking at the half-worn clothes on her body, she was a little dissatisfied.The clothes she was wearing were not prison uniforms. When Han Qi called her to Dongdajie for an autopsy that day, Wang Zhao and the others were afraid that Cui Tao's prison clothes would be eye-catching, so they randomly found an ordinary dress for her to wear.

Although the clothes are old and not very good-looking, they are better than prison uniforms after all, and I don't want to wear prison uniforms after wearing them.

Before eating, Cui Tao asked Wang Zhao to help find out where there are copper mines in the boundaries of Tokyo.

At this moment, Wang Zhao just came back from the investigation, and Cui Tao immediately asked Han Qi to find the scene of the crime, but she had to change into clean and normal clothes before going out.

When Han Qi looked over, Cui Tao quickly pulled up the front of her clothes to show him the 'oil stains' on her clothes.In fact, it's not oil, it's the water she wiped it on. In order to cheat an extra set of clothes, she has used her brains a lot.

Han Qi raised his eyes and stared at Cui Tao.

Cui Tao blinked, and asked Han Qi innocently, "Can I change it?"

Zhang Chang made another trip to the tailor shop to buy a ready-made dress for Cui Tao.

The light blue narrow-sleeved shirt is a common color in the market. This is just the clothes worn by ordinary women when they are working, and it is richer and more gorgeous than the big-sleeved shirt.But such an inconspicuous ordinary new dress, worn on Cui Tao's body, has a kind of beauty of fresh green and peach blossoms after the rain, which makes Cui Tao's beautiful face look even more provocative.

As soon as Cui Tao changed her clothes and came out, Wang Zhao, Li Yuan and others didn't feel their eyes brightened.Even Zhang Chang, who had a slight problem with Cui Tao, couldn't help but secretly glanced at her more.

"Looks good, thank you so much—" Seeing Han Qi's eyes sweeping away, Cui Tao stopped the loss in time, and immediately changed his words, "Han Tuiguan!"

Korean push official!

Wang Zhao and the others couldn't help pursing their lips and holding back their laughter. Come on, Han Tuiguan has another title.

After the group rode out of Bianjing, Li Yuan moved to Wang Zhao's side and motioned him to look at Cui Tao who was riding ahead.

"Look at her riding skills, you may not be able to catch up with her."

"Your Excellency can do it." Wang Zhao only mouthed and said nothing, and then pointedly looked at Han Qi who was riding forward with Cui Tao.

Li Yuan couldn't help laughing again, sighing that he was too bold.If Han Tuiguan found out that he was joking about "adult" as a rhetoric, he would definitely deal with him.

Two hours later, everyone arrived at the copper mine investigated by Wang Zhao.This place is far away from the official road, surrounded by barren hills, and there are no fields around it, so it can be described as 'inaccessible'.

"There is not much ore here, and it was mined two years ago." Wang Zhao said.

"How far is it from Junyi?" Cui Tao asked Wang Zhao.

Because the No.3 victim disappeared in Junyi County.

Wang Zhao froze for a moment, scratched his head and thought about it.

"Less than ten miles." Han Qi said.

After Cui Tao jumped off the horse, she lowered her head and looked around in the wild grass by the side of the mountain.

Wang Zhao and others were wondering what Cui Tao was looking for, when they suddenly heard Cui Tao call out, everyone moved over.I saw three lumps of horse manure under a locust tree, two of which were stale, and had been there for some time.The remaining ones are newer, as if they were left in the past two or three days.The weeds near the horse manure also showed signs of being gnawed, indicating that horses once stayed here.

It was only then that everyone realized that Cui Tao had deduced that the murderer could ride a horse before looking for him.Think about it too, if this is the real crime scene, no matter whether it is a living person or a dead body, it is very heavy, and the murderer must use mules, horses and other livestock to transport it long distances.

"Is this blood?" Li Yuan pointed to the maroon stains on the nearby grass blades.

Cui Tao: "Very similar."

Cui Tao followed the bloodstain and walked up the mountain.Everyone followed behind, and Li Yuan and another yamen servant deliberately used knives to clear the way for Han Qi, so as to prevent Han Qi from being hurt by the messy branches in the mountains.

"Finding the crime scene is indeed very important, and many clues will emerge from it. But how can Mrs. Cui be sure that this will be the crime scene?" Wang Zhao couldn't help asking Cui Tao curiously.

"Because of this." Cui Tao handed the paper bag to Wang Zhao.

As soon as Wang Zhao opened it, Li Yuan and others also came over to take a look.Only Han Qi was not curious about it, and stood not far away, looking around.

"Isn't this the stone slag found on the victim's head?" Everyone asked.

"This stone is green in color and contains copper." Cui Tao said, "This is the only place in Tokyo that has ever had a copper mine. If there are no accidents—"

"Over there." Han Qi suddenly walked towards the north slope of the mountain.

Cui Tao looked over and found that there were yellow branches swaying in the distance to the north, which were forsythia flowers.Cui Tao quickly followed Han Qi.

Then everyone found a lot of blood stains near the mine, and one of the sharply raised stones was particularly bloody.

"This should be the No. 3 victim who accidentally hit a rock on the back of his head when he fell. It seems to be an accident. Before the murderer succeeded, the No. 3 victim had an accident and died first. The murderer was angry about this, and used Stabbed her to vent his anger. Later, he found that he could get an indescribable pleasure in this bloody situation of venting his anger. Therefore, in the next attack, when dealing with the fourth victim, he upgraded his tactics and became more serious. For ferocity and cruelty."

Wang Zhao and the others admired Cui Tao's analysis and felt that what she said made sense, but they didn't understand how she came up with this.

Wang Zhao then led people to continue the search, and found another thatched shed, in which they found a bloody dagger, a rope and a set of bloody clothes.

Cui Tao looked at the shape of the entire hut.The grass sheds in normal mountains are generally built in a triangular shape, as long as an appropriate amount of straw is laid on the roof of the shed.But this hut is not. There are a lot of straw piled up around and on the top, which looks more like a haystack.

Suddenly a mountain wind blew, and the branches swayed, making strange creaking noises.

Han Qi stared at the rear of the thatched shed, squinting slightly.

At this time, Cui Tao found three embroidered characters on the inside of the coarse blood-stained coat: Futianyuan.

Cui Tao hurriedly went to find Han Qi with the bloody clothes, and while showing Han Qi the embroidered characters, she smiled happily, as if the delicious food was right in front of her eyes.

"Look, the murderer has been found! I will trouble Han Tuiguan to spend money in the future!"

Five hundred coins a day is used to eat, and in terms of prices in the Song Dynasty, it will be quite good.

"Be careful."

Han Qi grabbed Cui Tao's arm and pulled Cui Tao to the ground.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Just where Cui Tao had just stood, three arrows flew across the sky.
