The owner can be his wife

When Concubine Hui arrived, what she saw was the scene of the three of them smiling at the same time, but when they saw her, not only Chen Jian, but Gu Yunxi and Chen Xuan also lost their smiles.

"Mufei is here, please sit down." Chen Ji's gestures were polite, and this sentence could be used on anyone by replacing the word "Mufei".Concubine Hui tightened her fingers, nodded and sat on the left side.Looking at the main hall where the doors and windows were closed and even the oil lamp was not lit, Concubine Hui felt depressed. "Why don't you light the lamp?"

Chen Jian pursed her lips, "If you hold the lamp, visitors will find the main hall directly. But I have someone prepare a pot, and when the guests are gone, let's eat something to keep warm."

"Guest." Concubine Hui repeated. She has been in the palace for a long time, and she has never encountered any assassination or assassination. On the one hand, Aunt Ma is helping in the dark. Not really a threat.

There was the sound of a watchdog outside the house. This was the first message of the New Year, and it was midnight.Chen Yan smiled slightly, "New Year, the year of Kui Chou." Chen Xuan got up, "Father, the king congratulates the new year~" Gu Yuntai smiled, and took out a gold leaf, "You are good at trickery, single-handedly challenge when you are not prepared For this joy."

Chen Yan touched his cuffs, "In that case, you should be half an hour late for tomorrow's practice." Chen Xuan's face drooped slightly, and his shoulders also dropped.Turning around, "Grandmother, congratulations on the new year." Although the attitude is also respectful, it is not as joyful as it was when facing Chen Yan and Gu Yunxi just now.Concubine Hui looked cold, hummed, and stopped talking.

Although he already knew that his grandmother didn't like him, he didn't expect that he would be too lazy to get along with him even for this kind of thing. Chen Xuan smiled lightly, just like Chen Jian when he was a child.

Two minutes later, there was the sound of swords and swords in the backyard, and Zheng Bo slowly came out from behind the shadow wall, "My lord, I caught it." Chen Jian sneered, "Do they really think that there is no one in my Prince Yan's mansion? Do you think I, General Chen Jian, came here with lip service?" So impatient, it must be the prince's hands and feet.

"Those people blew the incense into the prince's bedroom, and the two hidden guards acting as substitutes were all charmed." Zheng Bo said, taking out a piece of incense that had not been used up from his sleeve.Gu Yuntai took it over and looked at it carefully, it seemed that he couldn't tell the difference for a while, and was about to sniff it with the tip of his nose, but found that there was an extra hand on his wrist.

"This thing is very effective, try it after luck." Chen Yan frowned slightly. He had no intention of stopping it, but unexpectedly his hand reacted faster.Gu Yunyu secretly wondered, anyway, he is also a man of the world, how could he not even do any protection before identifying it? It seems that this King Yan really has no experience in the world. "nature."

The incense had just been extinguished, and one end was still burnt, and the aroma had not completely subsided. "It's not only herbs, but also the venom of the viper, which is covered with spices, but after burning, it will disperse a little." Just smelling this, Gu Yunxi was already a little drowsy, the viper Snakes first use venom to paralyze their prey and then swallow them whole, so the venom has no harmful effect, but it will make people stunned and unable to move.

Holding his breath, Gu Yuntai's breath gradually calmed down. "Sure enough." Chen Yan didn't know whether he was talking about Mixiang or Gu Yuntai.

"My lord, should you bring those people here?" Uncle Zheng put away the mist incense, he might be able to use it on his own side at any time, something that can be put down by the hidden guards of the palace, he just smelled it without looking at the owner of the villa. Do you have any reaction?

"Bring it up." Chen Jian said loudly, "Apply the lights! Pass the meal."

The maids came in one after another with oil lamps and candles, and the cook behind them came up with two large pots. The strong smell of soup instantly filled the hall. Chen Xuan sniffled, "It smells so good."

"Xiao Shizi, this has been stewed for several hours, of course it is delicious." Uncle Zheng arranged bowls and chopsticks, dipping sauces, vegetables and tofu and other vegetarian food for the people on the table. There were only four people on the table including Chen Xuan, but There are two full pots and enough shabu-shabu.Even if Gu Yuntai was stupid, he could tell that Chen Jian's pot was definitely not for people to eat.

Seeing that the father and uncle didn't move their chopsticks, Chen Xuan also faintly felt it.Chen Jian looked at Concubine Hui who hadn't reacted to the assassination, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

A few people tied up with hemp rope were brought up, and Chen Yan tsk-tsk, "It's big, everyone who comes here is a guest, what are you doing tied up, untie it." Already picked, even if you untie them, you can't do anything.But this unraveling was not what they thought.

Zheng Bo brought a few people up with the eight crosses used by the Ministry of Punishment, and after binding the six of them one by one, there were two remaining by his side, who didn't know what to do.

"In your current situation, you can't kneel. If you can't kneel, you have to lie down. Let you sit. I'm really sorry for the master behind you who wants you to die." Chen Jian pretended The embarrassment made the corners of Gu Yunxi's mouth rise. He had never seen Yan Wang's scoundrel before. This made him a little caught off guard, while Chen Xuan on the other side was already stunned.

The two cauldrons were bubbling with steam, the doors and windows of the house were wide open, and the cold wind came in, turning the heat on the cauldron into white smoke, and Chen Jian was standing behind the smoke, his image somewhat blurred.

"As an assassin, you should know what you will be asked after being caught?" Chen Jian sat down suddenly, picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and boiled it in the pot for two times. The tofu was cut very thin and cooked instantly. "Did you say it yourself? Or did I ask it out?"

The six people looked at Chen Jian as if they were looking at a monster. They never thought that King Yan was such a character.But the six knew that their master was a person who followed the rules.

"My lord forgot, the chins of these people have been removed. Even if you want to say it, you can't say no." Gu Yuntai tapped his palm on the table, and his figure instantly moved in front of the six people. He closed his jaw and returned to his seat. Even the smoke on the pot drifted away after he sat still.

"Now we can talk." Gu Yuntai smiled lightly, as if they were already ready to talk.Uncle Zheng was amazed at Master Gu's skill, and quickly prepared a pen and paper.The six people glanced at each other, Qiqi was about to bite the nipple hidden in his back teeth, but found that the teeth in his mouth had disappeared at some point.Gu Yuntai nodded at the table, motioning for several people to look at the ground.Not far from them, the tooth with the medicine bag was already lying there quietly.One in front of each person, a total of six, not one more.

"Before I became the son of the prince, I was a genius doctor. This little tooth extraction doesn't hurt, right?" As if a switch had been turned on, as soon as Gu Yunyi finished speaking, several people felt the pain in his mouth.Chen Jian smiled at the side, there are a few genius doctors who can cure him, and the magic poison is almost the same.

"Now, can we talk about it?" Chen Jian walked closer, and the six of them remained silent, as if they were carrying on to the end. "It seems that you really came out of a well-behaved family. Do you have to ask me one by one?"

"Let me ask, but there is a price." Chen Jian smiled, very warmly. "Why did you come to my mansion?" A question that they knew the answer to, none of the six people saw that Chen Jian had buckled a dagger the size of a palm and a half.The voice fell, and with a wave of his arm, the person who was questioned by him just felt a pain in his shoulder, and then his entire left arm fell off.

He obviously didn't have a chance to speak, but he still executed the punishment.The man with the broken arm clenched his teeth and did not speak.Chen Jian nodded, and Steward Zheng on one side lowered his head to pick up his arm on the ground, and tied it to the left arm on the vacant cross wooden frame on the other side.

Everyone in the hall knew what the two vacant torture instruments were for, and the six people who had been tied up began to sweat. "Let me ask again, why did you come to my mansion?" Chen Yan still asked the person just now, "Of course I want to kill you!" A person next to him replied, Chen Jian turned his head, his gaze was like a knife, "Talk!" Butler Zheng tied it to the stake.Chen Jian returned to No.1 position, "Why did you come to my residence?"

"Kill you, and King Yan." The man was stared at by Chen Yan, the corners of his mouth trembling uncontrollably.Satisfied, Chen Jian nodded, "That's right." With another movement of his arm, the man's right arm was also chopped off. "Come here so late, and there is no New Year's Eve dinner, what a pity. The pot in my mansion is good, try it later." Both arms were chopped off, and Steward Zheng wrapped a rope around No.1's neck at the right time, Lest he fall down, the prince doesn't like blood on the ground.The attendant on one side picked up his arm on the ground, holding a sharp bone-eviscerating knife in his hand, walked to the pot, and sliced ​​the meat piece by piece.The meat slices fell into the soup pot, splashing a little bit of white soup base. Judging from the color, it was indeed broth.

Chen Jian looked at the second one with a stiff expression, and smiled, "You only have one arm, so I don't need your arm. I will only ask once, why kill me?" The second person's eyes widened. Significant, but compared with the main topic, it is really not worth mentioning. "I saw that you were rushing to answer just now. It seems that you can talk. In this way, I will give you more time. Take your time. I said, just ask once." After speaking, one thigh fell to the ground.Chen Jian looked up, "But I didn't say I wouldn't be punished."

This time there is no need for Steward Zheng, so someone will naturally tie that leg to the torture rack.A broken leg hurts a hundred times more than a broken arm, and the second person broke out in a cold sweat, soaking his clothes. "Because someone doesn't like you. I want to get rid of you and make it quick." This answer obviously didn't satisfy Chen Jian.Because soon, the second leg has fallen.

At this time, the sliced ​​meat cooked in that pot was already cooked, and the shaved skeleton had already been placed on another vacant torture rack.Gu Yuntai picked up the dipping material in front of him, "Don't take it like this, it's so tasteless." He poured the dipping material, added a little shallot, and served a spoonful of soup. "The strong man's arm is gone, you go and feed him." Pointing to the two maids on one side, these maids have not changed their faces since just now, so it can be seen that they are not very human.

Hearing the movement behind, Chen Yan turned her head and praised, "Wang Jun is still thoughtful." Gu Yuntai smiled lightly, "Natural." Different from the two words just now, this natural said very softly, but it made the bound people There was a shudder.Looking at the big bowl brought over, Chen Yan shook his head, "I planned to let you share the food. It seems that this is good for the appetite of a strong man, but it doesn't matter, we still have plenty of meat." Kicking the leg on the ground, "Take it to the back kitchen Treat it and bring it over again. Such a big piece, it’s so heart-wrenching to eat.”

The maids removed No.1's jaw, and fed the sliced ​​meat into his mouth with a spoon.Seeing the man's face full of pain, Chen Jian raised his eyes and asked the third person, "Do you think the meat is not fresh? Look at the pain on his face as he eats it. I don't know, but I think the cook in my house is not skilled. .”

"No, no, yes, yes, it's very fresh." Chen Yan sneered, "I heard that there is a live sheep soup, which is to break open the inner abdomen of the sheep, pour the broth from the mouth, and the internal organs are slowly scalded. Cooked, cut it into slices, and poured the soup just now, that taste." Suddenly there was a stench from under the third person, and he was so frightened that he lost control, with tears streaming down his face, he had already collapsed.

"Tsk tsk, it's really dirty." Chen Jian took two steps back in disgust, and waved his hand, "Take it down and wash it clean. By the way, make a new pot of soup." The third person shouted, "Prince Yan, please forgive me, I say! I say!"

"What are you talking about, I haven't asked you yet. Take it down." In a flash, half of the interrogation was over, but not a single useful question was asked.No matter how stupid the remaining three were, they knew that King Yan's focus was not on the interrogation.

Chen Jian looked at the fourth one, "Who sent you here?" The fourth one was stunned, and just thought the task could not be completed, when he encountered such a normal question from King Yan, "Yes, it's the second prince."

"Second Prince?" Chen Yan raised his eyebrows, "It's really him?" The man nodded sharply, but he couldn't prevent the dagger that was placed under his neck at some point, and blood gushed out. Chen Yan shook his head, "What do you mean?" , why are you in a hurry." After finishing speaking, he wiped his hands on the man, and took off his leg by the way, "Look, you don't have to die."

"You two are the only ones left. My torture rack still lacks a body and a head." Chen Jian pointed to the almost assembled rack, "You say, this body looks good even with the head attached. Or is it better to separate it from the head?"

Before the two could answer, Chen Jian shook his head, "You don't understand even if you ask me, so let's change the question."

"Did the prince ask you to come here? By the way, put the blame on the second child?" Chen Jian tapped his chin with a wiped dagger, "I can't touch the second prince now, so it doesn't matter if you fail. The second prince can't be touched, so the prince can not only get rid of me, but also catch a so-called second prince. Right?"

The two assassins had already collapsed at this time, but they guarded their teeth tightly so that they could not completely collapse, or they would be pulled down to make soup.Chen Jian tapped his head, "I didn't say this, it was you who said it, right?"

Gu Yuntai stepped forward and brought over the recorded statement, "Naturally." Seeing Gu Yuntai approaching, the two of them remembered what it was like when he said that natural statement just now, their thighs were trembling uncontrollably, and Chen Yan stared at him. In the past, the two simply chose to faint, at least they didn't feel anything when they died.

After imprinting the handprint on the fainted man, Chen Yan nodded, and told Steward Zheng, "Make the gift and send it to the Duke's mansion tomorrow night." People and stumps on the ground, and someone from behind came to clean the ground with buckets of hot water.

And the pot where the human flesh was boiled was naturally taken away.Putting on a new one, the strong fragrance gradually covered the bloody smell in the hall.The cold wind poured in, and the pot on the table was still steaming.

"Gu Zhuangzhu is very courageous." Standing in front of the window, Chen Yan breathed in the cold wind, which weakened the killing intent in his chest, and gradually dissipated the smell from his body.Gu Yuntai wiped his hands clean. Although he didn't do anything just now, he still felt that his hands were stained with blood. "My lord, let's rest earlier."

"Rest?" Chen Jian looked at the busy kitchen smoke, "Yun Chen, how about going out for a drink with me?"

"Okay." Gu Yuntai was stunned for a moment, this was the first time King Yan called him by his name in private.

In the hall, Chen Xuan looked at the fainted grandmother, and called two maids to help her down to rest, while he walked to the study. Tonight, it is impossible for him to fall asleep.
