The more you wear your sister

I lay on Chu Feng's shoulders and watched him deal with everything on the scene vigorously, mobilizing those people who panicked at once, and quickly and efficiently carry out the aftermath work.

He is indeed a natural general, and he usually lives a peaceful life in the mansion. He has no chance to show his sharp side, or he deliberately restrained his sharpness, not wanting to attract the attention of the "big shots" in the capital. But when the critical moment comes, it will be immediately obvious whether you can hold the place.

The house with a completely wooden structure burned quickly, and it was completely burned before dawn. People extinguished the embers and searched again desperately, but of course they failed to find my body.

After a while, Zhang Guan came back to report: "General Qi, my subordinates have counted 62 guards and 22 servants, and no one is missing. Except for the burns of the four guards fighting the fire, there are no other casualties."

Chu Feng nodded to show that he understood, and Jiao Dian also came after a while: "General, someone found unusual footprints nearby and went far away. Eunuch Laifu has already brought people to investigate. In addition, the fire When it happened, three people couldn't wake up, and the only thing they and Master Xianshi had eaten was a can of yam porridge, that is to say, someone should have put Mongolian sweat medicine in that can of yam porridge."

In this era of material scarcity and general poverty, it is rare to waste food. Every time the kitchen makes an oversized meal, the servants will share the food if I don’t eat it or if I can’t finish it. So Only now can we use this method to quickly troubleshoot what is wrong with the food.

"What else?" Chu Feng looked at him.

"And..." Jiao Dian paused before saying, "The can of porridge was made by Chef Chu Nan."

Chu Feng glanced at Chu Nan with sharp eyes, and Chu Nan knelt down in fright: "Brother, it's really not the medicine I prescribed, how could I want to harm you?"

"Call me General." Chu Feng's voice sounded very calm, "I know it's not you, but I have repeatedly told you that the safety of the kitchen is the most important thing. In terms of cooking skills, you are just a Average level, why did I let you be the chef, do you remember?"

"Brother... the general wants to... let the little one check every ingredient, and test the poison after every dish is cooked..." Chu Nan said in a teary voice, "I have tested the poison, and every dish is poisonous. Feed the chicken first and then deliver it to the table in person, Master Immortal Master was waiting for the meal yesterday, I... I finished feeding the chicken for a while, and saw that the chicken was fine, so I sent it over."

"So, if the poison in Master Immortal Master is not an immediate onset, then there is no responsibility for you?"

"I... I won't dare next time." Chu Nan lowered his head, not daring to talk back.

Chu Feng said in a cold but merciless tone: "For dereliction of duty, twenty sticks."

"Brother..." Chu Nan called out pitifully.

"Thirty!" Chu Feng said.

Chu Nan didn't dare to say anything now.

Jiao Dian found a small inn nearby and asked Chu Feng to have a place to rest temporarily. Not long after, Hong Lian personally made some porridge and side dishes, and gave them to Chu Feng who hadn't eaten for a long time to relieve his hunger.

Chu Feng was dissatisfied and said: "Why are they all clear soup with little water? Go cook a bowl of noodles and put more meat."

Honglian gave him a surprised look, and went to cook the noodles as promised.

Chu Feng started to eat the porridge on the table, he still seemed to have no appetite, he was basically forcing himself to eat.When the big bowl of noodles with meat, oil and fried eggs was served, Chu Feng got up and bolted the door behind him.

Of course I understood what he meant, and I couldn’t wait to show up and pounce on the noodles on the table. Chu Feng put his cloak on me and said to me: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

I sucked on the noodles and asked, "How about it, do you have any ideas now?"

"First of all, it is certain that this was a premeditated and deliberate murder. The fire came so strangely that someone should have used spirits or lamp oil to fuel the fire, so that when the guards outside the courtyard discovered the fire, they were already powerless to put it out. This is not a one-time incident. Two people can do it, and the person who set the fire must not only have a certain amount of manpower, but also have internal support." Chu Feng swallowed a spoonful of porridge slowly, frowned and said, "From the moment we drugged us, the other party The target is on you and me. The person who poisoned you first has to know that you like yam porridge. Every time you have yam porridge, you will eat a bowl. In addition, you know that I am seasick and can only eat some light food. Eat porridge. If I didn't eat anything last night, I'm afraid that both of us would be buried in the sea of ​​fire in our sleep."

"Yeah, again..." I said with lingering fear.

Chu Feng stirred the porridge in the bowl, and said: "This inner response... should have been hidden in our house all the time, so that he knows your eating habits so well, and this time he also followed the boat, otherwise he wouldn't stop the boat temporarily at you You only decided to stop the boat yesterday afternoon and spend the night in Dongfeng, and they will be able to prepare such a set by night, so their ability to act is quite strong."

I put a piece of meat in his bowl: "Could it be done by the princelings?"

Chu Feng frowned and reluctantly ate the meat: "It is possible that the princelings hated you and seized the opportunity to attack, but they should have seen your unusualness, so why are they so blatantly drugging you? I think there is something wrong with you." Maybe someone didn't want us to reach our destination, so they wanted to intercept us on the way."

"Destination...you mean Jiangnan?" Our first destination is the picturesque Jiangnan water town. Could this incident have anything to do with Jiangnan?This is too complicated, I scratched my head, and said helplessly: "I have been in the house all the time, and this time there are at least 70 to [-] people who followed me out. Who would the spies be?"

"I'm afraid it's still hard to find at the moment." Chu Feng sighed, "Well, don't show up for now, stay hidden and play by ear."

"Okay, listen to you." I had only eaten half of the noodles when I heard someone knock on the door, and Jiao Dian's voice sounded: "General Chu, Eunuch Lai Fu is back."

I immediately disappeared, Chu Feng took the noodle bowl to his place, picked up the cloak and opened the door.

Jiao Dian and Lai Fu came in, Chu Feng invited them to sit down, and continued to eat noodles on his own.

Chu Feng told me that although Laifu is only the leader of a guard of honor in name, he is actually someone sent by the emperor to guide and monitor us, and he is also one of the top spies under the super spy chief Babao, equivalent to Dong The third, fourth, and fifth leaders of the factory must not be underestimated.

The relationship between Jiao Dian and us can be compiled into a tongue twister like this: He knows that he is King Ning's staff, and we also know that he is King Ning's staff, but he doesn't know that we know that he is King Ning's staff, and we also know that he is King Ning's staff. Pretending not to know that he is King Ning's staff, maybe he actually knows that we know that he is King Ning's staff, but he pretends not to know that we know that he is King Ning's staff.

In short, although he is in the position of housekeeper and listens to our orders, in fact he secretly controls all the affairs of our whole house. At present, Yang Jue will not do anything to kill us by breaking his own arm, so Jiao Dian basically It can still be regarded as "one's own person".

Lai Fu said worriedly in a high-pitched voice: "General Chu, neither of us are outsiders, can the general explain to us, where is this Master Immortal?"

"He really went back to heaven, don't worry, just like when he was poisoned by the traitor last time, he will come back when he should come back." Chu Feng said calmly, "Compared with this, we should investigate first. The murderer is important. Did Mr. Laifu find any clues?"

Lai Fu sighed: "The miscellaneous family followed the trail and found four footprints in total. One of them had a little bit of kerosene on his feet, so he should be the one who started the fire. But the clues were broken when they traced to the river. The person who came here should have taken advantage of the chaos and left in a small boat."

Chu Feng said lightly: "Although the murderer who set the fire has escaped, the insider of the subpoena is still lying in ambush among us."

Jiao Dian nodded in agreement: "I've always felt that there must be some unclean people in our house. I couldn't dig it out last time. This time, I must not let him get away with it."

"Butler Jiao is the most knowledgeable of his servants, so I leave it up to you to find the inner ghost."

Jiao Dian nodded in agreement, and Chu Feng said to Lai Fu again: "Elder-in-law, since Master Xianshi hasn't come back yet, we will stay in Changshui County for a few more days to track down the whereabouts of the murderer. Otherwise, I am afraid that similar assassinations will intensify and never end."

Laifu could only nod in agreement.

At this time, the guards outside reported that the magistrate of Changshui County had arrived.

"It's just in time, let him in." Chu Feng said.

So a chubby county magistrate wearing a black gauze hat came in roundly, and before he arrived, the voice came first: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... I heard that there was a fire at the inn last night. Master Master, I am extremely terrified. Seeing that several adults are safe and sound, I am very relieved, uh... May I ask who is Lord Immortal Master?"

"Slave who doesn't have eyes, which one of us can have half the spirit of an immortal master?" Laifu scolded with a sharp voice.

The county magistrate patted himself on the mouth without sincerity: "Look at my stupid mouth, is the Master Immortal still okay? Please allow the next official to personally confess to the Master Immortal."

Chu Feng snorted coldly: "Master Immortal, you can see him whenever you want? Just tell us if you have anything to say."

"This..." The magistrate's small eyes rolled, and he said with a smile on his face: "Oh, look at this... It is a big event for you to come to Changshui County to settle down, which is enough to make the small county flourish. , I didn't know that I would hear from the county, but I was wronged and settled in that small inn..."

He started to talk nonsense, basically saying that although we had an accident within his jurisdiction, because we didn’t notify him before we went ashore, he didn’t know about our arrival. This “accident” is regrettable, But he is innocent and can't be blamed for lying on the gun. He will strengthen fire safety education in the future.

Chu Feng and the three of them couldn't stand listening anymore, and decisively told him to leave.

After the county magistrate rolled away, Chu Feng got up and went to the latrine, and when he got to a deserted place, he called me softly: "Little tiger?"

I touched him in reply.

"There is something wrong with the county magistrate of Changshui, you go and follow him to see if there are any clues."
