Volume 1 There Are Dragons and Sparrows in Lin'an Chapter 29 Bloody Hands
"I don't dare?" Chen Baoen was suddenly a little stunned.
"What if Zhang Guodu dies? My Zhang family's foundation is still there, you don't know how big the power behind us is, aren't you afraid of taking a trigger and moving your whole body and causing some trouble to your family?" he laughed wantonly.
Chen Baoen gave him a slap hard, this slap reddened the corners of his eyes, and he spat out two broken teeth: "Fuck you." β
"My mother is dead!I don't mind letting you accompany her!" Chen Baoen roared, and the guards behind him stepped forward to grab Chen Baoen in anger, but he just waved his hand coldly: "I know what I'm doing, bring those boxes!"
The subordinate hesitated for a moment: "Your Excellency...... Do you really want to?"
"Hmm...... I want him to know what I don't dare to do. β
Zhang Gongzi felt a huge fear from his words: "What did you do......"
"Just one look, one look is enough. β
"What?" Zhang Gongzi struggled to open his eyes, and in a scarlet vision, he watched as the veiled guard held several boxes in front of him, and at the same time lifted the wooden lid on them.
If given a choice, he would rather die than see everything inside.
Five wooden boxes, five bloody heads, their eyes widened, as if they didn't dare to imagine it all when they died.
Zhang Gongzi's face was like ashes, his lips were buzzing violently, fear, anger, and sorrow flashed from his eyes, leaving nothing, taking nothing away, and after a long time, a terrible scream seemed to penetrate the roof.
"Mother, uncle, second uncle, second sister-in-law......"
The heads in the box are almost all the magnates in Lin'an City, people who have drunk tea and wine in the palace, but at this time their faces are no different from those ordinary people, they have lost their gorgeous makeup and powder, and their faces are covered with a thin layer of lime, which is really ironic.
"Do you really think that no one in your Zhang family dares to touch you in Lin'an City? What bullshit power, do you really think that you can sit in a canoe steadily? Let me tell you, what you have said now Apocalypse Blood Tyrant Chen Hongwei also told my father, but my father executed all sixty-one members of his family without blinking an eye, all in front of him, and he was the last person to be executed, what my father dared to do, why didn't I Chen Baoen dare!" He stood up, and the hilt of the knife at his waist glowed with a burst of golden light.
Zhang Gongzi looked at him with empty eyes, and suddenly fainted, Chen Baoen snorted coldly and ordered: "Take him back to the yamen and detain him, and I will continue to interrogate him when he wakes up." β
He walked out of the stuffy study, and a cool autumn breeze blew on his face, with a faint smell of blood.
There are several headless corpses in the courtyard, still wearing brocade clothes, the slaves of the Zhang family knelt down in front of those corpses, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, there were several women in brocade clothes standing in the courtyard, the age seemed to be twenty-eight, the face was good, if it was not for the dagger dripping with blood in the hand, how to look like the ladies in the house, two of them were still sprinkled with lime on the corpses, and from time to time the lime was smeared on each other's hands and frolicking, and the laughter of the girl's silver bell echoed in the courtyard, which looked very weird.
Chen Baoen has served as Chu Xun's guard since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he left the palace to serve as a magistrate in Lin'an City, the Rose Division was originally subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor, and was managed by Chen Baoen on weekdays, which can be regarded as an official and two positions, all of the divisions are young girls, from assassination to serving them, they are proficient in everything, and at the same time the information on the intelligence dynamics in the city is conclusive for Chu Xun, in a sense, the Rose Division is the place where His Majesty the Emperor specially cultivates dead soldiers for Chu Xun, and she stepped forward when she was in need, and after Chu Xun took over, she was stunned to become an intelligence agency for herγ
The moment one of the girls saw Chen Baoen, she put away her dagger and walked up to him gracefully: "My lord, the case has been tried? You made us wait for a long time." β
"Well, the other party basically admitted that he was a spy of Hou Chu, and we still have some evidence to collect, Lily, transport these corpses back to the yamen, cremate them with Lord Zhang's, Peony, move the silver out of the Zhang family's treasury for me, and the files, and most importantly, the files...... Why are you still stunned? Go ahead!"
"I miss an adult!" the other man turned around with his hands behind his back, looking at him with burning eyes.
"The skin is itchy again, isn't it?" Chen Baoen raised his hand to fight, and the other party was like a spring tide, leaning on his chest and saying, "Are you really willing to do it?"
"Don't be weird, if you let Her Royal Highness the princess know, how can you let me be an official?" Chen Baoen said helplessly.
"What do you know?" the girl in her arms blinked her eyes, and her expression seemed to tell him that if you don't make me happy, I won't leave.
"After this troublesome matter is settled, I invite you to go to the White Crane Tower to drink!" Chen Baoen pushed her away with a smile, but the other party glared, and said with a crimson face: "What adults say doesn't count, last time you said that you took us to Yuechao Lake, it didn't work out." β
"Yes, adults don't count!" several girls in the courtyard also coaxed.
"Alas, who knew that there were people drinking and fighting in the tavern that day, and then another person was killed, and I was forced to go. Didn't I take you to the Autumn Wind Forest later? β
They glared at him, silent.
"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and leave like a corpse, waiting to stink?" If Chu Xun knew what kind of expression Chen Baoen would have on his face when he asked them to move the corpse, but Chen Baoen never seemed to understand the affairs of men and women, and would always only perform the task indifferently, occasionally giving you a cold joke or two, and boasting of being funny.
"I can't move away, I can't do it!" A wheezing sound came from behind Chen Baoen, accompanied by the sound of wooden sticks hitting the ground, Chen Baoen turned around and saw that a short old woman walked up to him on crutches, and her face covered with deep lines reminded him of his wife.
"Can't move away, you, a butcher who killed a thousand knives, isn't it enough to kill dozens of people in my Zhang family? Now I won't even let go of their corpses!" She showed her teeth that were so yellow that she couldn't be in the yellow, and her eyes were full of sour tears in her mouth, and she looked at Chen Baoen with pain.
Chen Baoen looked at the old lady in front of him suspiciously, but the house slaves who were originally lying on the ground immediately stood up and surrounded the old woman: "Old lady, old lady, you can't come out." β
"My lord, I saw this old woman when I went to the back room with my sisters just now, but I thought that she should not live long, so I ......" She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Chen Baoen.
"Nothing...... I'll take care of it. Chen Baoen patted her on the shoulder and motioned for them to leave.
"Our Zhang family was an official in the three dynasties, and we were kind and charitable on weekdays, how could we meet a cold-blooded devil like you? She pushed the servants away, knelt down in front of the headless corpses, and wept in a low voice.
"Madam, your lord conspired with Hou Chu in private, committed the crime of treason, and he should be ...... according to my Da Yin law" Before she finished speaking, the old lady shouted angrily, "What kind of treason? My son has lived a bright and upright life, and he has never had the idea of hurting heaven and reason...... He has served the emperor of the three dynasties of the Yinguo Kingdom, and he has never had hope, I want to see the Emperor Yin! I want to see His Majesty the Emperor, and let him avenge my family!" the old woman cried.
"You scolded me for being cold-blooded and ruthless? What do you see your son has done?" Chen Baoen waved his hand, and the peony and pomegranate walked out of the back room carrying a heavy wooden box, they gently pushed, the silver in the wooden box was scattered all over the ground, and the eyes were full of white flowers, Chen Baoen picked up one of the silver yuan and showed it to the old woman: "Why does the silver in Lord Zhang's mansion have so many Hou Chu Xie Ding Seals, instead of my Da Yin's Flying Eagle Seal?"
The old woman looked at the silver on the ground in shock, suddenly raised her head and stared at Chen Baoen with resentful eyes, she couldn't say a word for a long time, her yellowed and dry nails sank deep into the silver yuan, she knelt down in front of the silver yuan tremblingly: "Son!
Chen Baoen turned to leave, and didn't look at her again, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and the black-armored soldier turned over and dismounted, and walked to the Zhang family's compound without hesitation: "Done?"
"Well, I've got to work all night tonight. β
You won't be busy all night, now this matter will be taken over by me, and the third prince of Chu will summon you. The black-armored soldier took out a codex from his bosom and handed it to him, Chen Baoen said without looking at it: "I know, go now." β
He mounted the black horse outside the door, looked at everything inside with empty eyes, and with a flick of his whip, the black horse neighed and disappeared at the end of the vast road.
