cold three feet

The butcher's belt was not neatly dressed, so Qing Huan and Ting Lan caught him.

Seeing that there was still rouge and gouache left on his neck, he did not dare to raise his hands to straighten his appearance, his teeth chattered non-stop.As soon as the butcher came in, he looked at Zhou Ziyan and Su Han, and knew at a glance that the two were more difficult to provoke than the other, and he was already shivering and fell to the ground, begging for mercy before teaching Qing Huan to lift his foot and kick him to kneel down. : "You two uncles, the younger one is a butcher and seller of meat. He has always done his duty, and he loves to eat flowers and wine. He has never offended anyone. I wonder what the two masters are doing with the younger one?"

Su Han said with a threatening manner: "Then let me talk about your irresponsibility. With your income of killing pigs and selling meat, it is suspicious to come to Fengxuelou with such a high level of consumption." ;You originally clamored to ask Madam Wu to change girls for you, but after Miss Tinglan and Miss Qinghuan came over, you seemed to know what happened, and you turned around and said no, which is suspicious. two."

Although the butcher was trembling uncontrollably and frightened, his mind was very clear, and he opened his mouth and said, "So what, this is just your conjecture, and there is no conclusive evidence. You can't just convict the villain like this, right?"

Su Han is calm and stable in his actions and speech, not in a hurry or impatient, of course, except when dealing with a certain person, so he is very patient with this kind of villain who is good at sophistry.Zhou Ziyan is different. Back then, he was the leader of the hundred or so female assassins in Fengyuelou. Although after hiding for years, Qing Huan and Ting Lan let Qing Huan and Ting Lan dismiss the former female assassins. Cutting the tongues of the young apprentices of Qingnangtang, forcing them to become dumb and deny confession, such a vicious matter of extorting a confession.

Zhou Ziyan has never been a patient interrogator, and in a flash, he pinched the butcher's throat and asked in a low voice, "You'd better tell the truth, or I'll chop you up and feed you to the mice." .”

No matter what Su Han said, he was also General Xuantie, the head coach of Nanjiang, an official of the imperial court. Seeing that someone was tortured to extract a confession, instead of stopping him, he even wanted to let him do it.He stepped forward and said: "I don't mind spending time with you here, but the person next to me, maybe, with a single thought, your life will be..."

The butcher, who was pinched by Zhou Ziyan out of breath, looked like a broken jar, blushing anxiously and said: "I know you are General Xuantie of Southern Xinjiang. If you torture and extract confessions like this, you are not afraid of being sued to the emperor." ?”

Su Han raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, you still know my identity. But it's not my commander who is torturing you to extract a confession." Then, he pointed at Zhou Ziyan, and said to the butcher with a helpless expression: " I can't handle this guy."

In the end, the butcher couldn't bear the psychological pressure, so he had to admit: "General, it's true that a villain can't kill people. It's just that someone gave me a lot of money a few days ago, and asked me to come to the blizzard on the [-]th. Lou had a good night, after the hour, if you make troubles again, you can go to Mama Wu, the old bustard. But when I made trouble, it was not Mama Wu who came out, but these two girls. I guessed that Mama Wu was killed by that person. In fact, he wanted to frame me, so how smart I am, of course I wouldn't foolishly blame him, and pretend that I don't want to change girls, and go back to my room and continue to have fun."

This butcher is a strange thing. You say he has courage, but he can't stand the threats of other people's words.You say he is intelligent, but he ignores his existence.

Zhou Ziyan let go of his neck, flicked the rouge gouache stained from the butcher's neck, and snorted, "You really will give yourself a face."

Ting Lan on the side seemed to have just remembered something, and took out a dead seven-inch snake that she had just found from the butcher's room.

Zhou Ziyan and Su Han both looked like, "Why don't you show this evidence sooner and watch the two of us play monkeys here?" '

But Ting Lan and Qing Huan are innocent, "Who told you to sing together, it's so exciting, we accidentally forgot it." '

Now that the seven-inch snake has appeared, even if it is a dead snake, the butcher cannot resist the certain fact of killing.Unexpectedly, the butcher was surprised at first, then hurriedly shook his head and said, "General, this dead snake is definitely not a villain's. I'm a pig, and I don't kill snakes."

Zhou Ziyan stared coldly, and said in a low voice, "You'd better admit it honestly."

Su Han stepped forward and said: "Wait a minute, Ziyan, his expression just now is indeed the first time he has seen this seven-inch snake, it doesn't look like a lie." Then he asked the butcher: "Since you don't admit that this snake is yours, , then you should know who sent you to Fengxue Tower to make trouble, right?"

The butcher shook his head helplessly and said, "But...that man was wearing a black veil, and the villain didn't see his true face."

In the world, it is not difficult to command a person to do things. If you don't have money, you still have sex. If you have money or sex, you are willing to risk your life.But this butcher was not stupid, when he came to a critical moment, he knew that someone was going to frame him.

Su Han thought for a while and asked again: "Then do you remember what characteristics that person has?"

The butcher thought for a while, his small eyes lit up, and he hurriedly claimed the credit and said: "The villain remembered, that man has a strong smell of medicine, although the villain can't describe the smell of medicine, but when my wife is sick, I will go It smelled exactly the same when Qingnangtang was grabbing the medicine."

Su Han's hand hidden in his sleeve trembled suddenly.Then he regained his composure, and said: "Qing Nang Tang is a place to buy medicine, so of course there will be a smell of medicine. This person may also be a person who came to Qing Nang Tang to get medicine like you. Most patients are soaked in medicine, so they are naturally indispensable. The pungent smell of medicine."

The butcher was a little surprised. He remembered that the smell of medicine emitted by the man at that time was not as pungent as that of the patient, but there was a faint fragrance in it.But the general had already spoken, and he didn't think about it any more. As long as he found out that he didn't kill him, he would be fine.

The man was not killed by a butcher, not even an accomplice, so Zhou Ziyan asked Tsinghua and Ting Lan to release him.

After the butcher left, Zhou Ziyan asked first: "Xiaohan, didn't you say that the seven-inch snake would return to the person who made the gu? If the pig butcher just now was not the person who made the vomit, how did the snake get to him?" room?"

Qing Huan on the side asked in confusion: "Yes, Second Young Master, shouldn't the snake sneak back to its owner? But sister Ting Lan and I found the snake from the butcher's bag."

Su Han nodded and said: "It is true that the seven-inch snake will return to the gu person, but this also shows a problem, that person should have quietly put a dead seven-inch snake in the butcher's bag in advance. , and the one that really bewitched Wu Xue to death may have already unknowingly returned to your master when you checked the Fengxue Building. This trick is really good!"

Ting Lan is a person who directly cuts into what should be done next, and she only heard her ask: "Second Young Master, next, should we go to the Qingnang Hall to find the real Gu-bearer?"

Su Han nodded and said: "It's really good, I should go to the Qingnangtang. That's it, I will take a small team there tomorrow. After all, it is a soldier's inspection. I think they will be more cooperative and save your time. .”

Zhou Ziyan was puzzled and said, "I have plenty of time, why can't I go? I'm also curious who you say is targeting me?"

Su Han's left hand shook again, before he opened his mouth and replied, "Ziyan, stop making trouble. You can pack your luggage in Fengxue Tower tomorrow, and I will come to pick you up early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Although Zhou Ziyan sometimes acted in a hurry, he was not stupid. Su Han's expression was wrong from just now, and his words seemed to be to hide something, and the purpose was clear, that is, he didn't want to let himself go to Qingnang Hall.

But Zhou Ziyan exposed him, and said angrily: "Didn't you promise me to go home after I deal with the matter of Fengxue Tower? Why don't you keep your promise now? General Xuantie, a dignified leader, how can you say nothing? talk?"

Qing Huan and Ting Lan faintly felt that there was something wrong with the two of them, and this coaxing tone seemed to be... well, Ting Lan and Qing Huan didn't dare to say that kind of relationship.

Su Han seems to be very patient now, just listen to him continue: "But now that Wu Xue is dead, you really plan to rely on Fengxuelou for food? Can I afford you? You listen to me and clean up tomorrow. Maybe I'll be able to pick you up in the afternoon after I've dealt with the Qingnang Hall in the morning. And it's not just you, you also have Master Wu Yao, Xiao An, Qing Huan, and Ting Lan all following you, right?"

Su Han's meaning is very clear: I'll go to Qingnangtang, but you can't go there tomorrow, so I will stay in Fengxue Tower to pack.

But Zhou Ziyan didn't think so, the more you refused to let me go, I had to go.If you can’t go there clearly, then I will go there secretly.Unexpectedly, Su Han's next sentence directly choked Zhou Ziyan's thoughts of going secretly, Su Han said lightly: "I will send Shen Qingwai over tomorrow morning, so that I can bring you back to the mansion quickly. .” The meaning is clear: I sent this person to watch over you.

The death of Mama Wu's poisoning took place from early in the morning to late in the afternoon.

After dinner, Su Han didn't stay any longer, and went straight to the barracks.He only explained that Shen Qinghou would go to Fengxue Tower to pick up people early tomorrow morning, but the small group of soldiers didn't want any of them.

Before leaving, Shen Qinghou looked serious, cupped his hands and said: "General, I will finally live up to your entrustment and bring my wife back unscathed!" With a heavy heart and a light heart, he just rode the horse and went back to the house again.

After Haishi, in the small stone house, the butcher was about to close the door and go to sleep.Suddenly, a gust of wind with the smell of medicine rushed to his nose, his brows tightened, his palms trembled, and as expected, the person wearing the black veil reappeared.

The wife sleeping inside asked, "Old Zhu, what's going on?"

The butcher shouted: "Sleep on your sleep, there is a stray cat, I chased it away."

Then the butcher closed the door gently, knelt down and kowtowed in a low voice, "Spare me, man, spare my life, I have followed your orders. It's not that I want to confess you, it's just that General Zhou didn't let the villain go, so I had no choice but to ..."

Before he finished speaking, the butcher had already taught the man to slit his throat with a knife, and he fell down.He only heard the man say: "Zhu Si, don't blame me, I can only silence you to be at ease."
