Chapter Seventy-Six: The Hardcore General

There are not many people in the kitchen of the General's Mansion, only ten people. The cooks came from Shengjing Yuan's house, and there were northwest cooks transferred from the ganghead camp, and the soldiers who fought were all soldiers in the ganghead camp.

Today, outside the kitchen, the knife is cold and cold, and people are like sifting chaff. Ten people had knives on the left and right sides of their necks, and the slightest movement would cause their heads to be cut off.

Twilight was the first to enter the stove, the aroma of mutton soup rushing to her face, and the soup in the pot was still boiling on a low fire, gurgling and bubbling milky white. There were two raw lamb chops on the cutting board, and Twilight brought them up and said, "This is the lamb chops." ”

As soon as she beckoned, a personal soldier came over, carrying a cloth bag containing human ribs taken from the side hall. Taking out the scalpel, Du Qing cleanly cut a raw lamb chop, took a human rib, and said to Yuan Xiu and the generals in the courtyard: "Human ribs, arc bend, rib angle is small." Sheep ribs, straight, with large costal angles. ”

At noon, when the scorching sun was on the head, the two ribs were held in the hands of the young man, and the difference was immediately apparent, which made people's eyes hurt and stomachs hurt.

In fact, she didn't compare it, and everyone knew that it was lamb chops that came out of the stove. The lamb chops were raw, unpickled or cooked, and the smell was so strong that people with a bad nose couldn't smell that they were lamb chops.

There are ten people in the side hall at noon, it is enough to kill a sheep, a sheep only has two ribs, it is impossible to bend on one side and flat! The difference was so great that it was clear that the two ribs that the boy was holding in his hand were from different things.

The roast lamb chop they ate was really fucking human ribs?

Smelling the smell of mutton soup wafting out of the stove, the generals only felt a surge in their stomachs, and they couldn't wait to vomit all the mutton they had eaten in their lives.

Lu scolded and kicked the northwest cook, "Damn! Dare to give human flesh to Lao Tzu to eat, Lao Tzu will chop you up first! ”

He once crushed horse bandits to death with one kick, and those horse bandits had practiced martial arts, but they couldn't bear it, let alone the cook? Lu Da didn't kick this foot in the chest, but only kicked it in the shoulder, and the cook fell on his back, his arm weirdly crooked back, and his face turned pale.

"What, what human flesh? Lu Lu, General Lu ...... "The cook's body was like sifting chaff, his expression was frightened and confused, he looked at Lu Da, and then went to see Yuan Xiu, "Big, General......"

"Fuck! Do you dare to admit it? Those two raw lamb chops are sitting on your cutting board and not moving, so what are you roasting for Lao Tzu? Lu Da was angry, and he raised his foot and kicked people again.

Twilight pulled him and said, "He's not lying, he doesn't know it's human flesh." ”

Lu Da was stunned for a moment, retracted his feet, and frowned at Twilight.

A famous general behind him asked, "How do you know that he is not lying?" ”

Twilight didn't answer, just by looking at the cook's face, but she wasn't going to reveal it yet. She only crouched down, stared at the cook, and asked, "Tell me, why is there fresh lamb chops and something else roasted?" You know it's not lamb chops. ”

Later, Lu Da said to the general: "What she says is what it is, Lao Hai, you believe it." You haven't seen this kid's ability, Lao Tzu has seen it with her own eyes in the mountains of Qingzhou, she only saw the corpses of the three recruits and speculated on the temperament of Huyan cub at all! You can even see what happened when the cub was wearing open crotch pants! Lao Tzu led people to round up and catch up with the cub, and when he saw that it was really Hu Yanhao, Lao Tzu was convinced! ”

The general was surprised, this matter was spread all over the army, but it still sounded quite amazing, and I always felt that it was an exaggeration of rumors if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. But Lu Danai is a person with a true temperament, straightforward and frank, disdainful of belittling people, and disdainful of nonsense, what he says has always been credible. The people in the army who can convince him, except for the general, have never heard of anyone else before! Today I persuaded a newcomer who had joined the army for two months and had just been crowned a general?

The expressions of the generals suddenly fell, looking at the back of the young man, seeing her squatting on the ground, her back was still straight, and the yellow wind in the courtyard was long.

At this time, I heard the cook say, "I, I...... I don't know that, that's not lamb chops. ”

"I don't know." Twilight nodded, her eyes receding, "Good, it seems that you think I have problems with my sense of smell and hearing." ”

She picked up the lamb chop she had just cut from the ground and threw it to the cook's nose, "What does it taste like?" ”

The cook was stunned, but Twilight didn't wait for him to answer, so she threw the lamb chop behind her!

There was a sound of retreat behind him!

Twilight didn't reply, and no matter who it was thrown on, she just asked, "Tired, smell it, tell him what it tastes like." ”

Suddenly there was a sound of gasping from behind, the faces of all the generals turned green, and countless enemies were killed on the battlefield, and they had never felt that raw meat was so disgusting, who would smell it!

"Smelly." But someone spoke.

Yuan Xiu.

"Hmm." Twilight didn't look back, just looked at the cook, "It seems that my sense of smell is fine, but you have a problem with your sense of smell." I can't even smell the smell, how did you become a cook, and you entered the General's Mansion to be a cook? ”

The cook's face turned pale, and when he heard this, his face became even pale.

"Of course, you can say that you have a cold, a stuffy nose, and you can't smell it. That is, you think I have a problem with my hearing, and I can't even hear whether you speak nasally or not. "Twilight said.

The cook couldn't say a word.

"Doctor Qi is here, do you need him to help you check your pulse and see if you are infected with the wind and cold?"

"You are not the only cook in the Northwest, do you need to find one to ask if you want to cook the lamb chops before roasting them?"

Twilight watched the cook's psychological defenses being broken step by step, got up and said, "That rib doesn't smell, you know it's not lamb chops, but we ate it when we ate it, which means you cooked it in mutton soup before roasting." You are afraid that there is no smell, and everyone will feel that the taste is wrong when they eat it, so they put it in the mutton soup and cook it. You refuse to tell the truth, I tell you the truth, you are serving the table today with human ribs, otherwise why do you think the knife would be on your neck? But if you don't cooperate, it looks like I can't help you. ”

The cook was stunned for a moment, everyone and everyone?

"So, isn't that pork chops?" The cook asked, his eyes frightened and dazed.

He always thought that the general had tasted the taste of the grilled pork chops and blamed him for his deception before he sent his own soldiers to tie him up, so he never dared to admit it. But, but...... Why、Why is it a human rib? That's pork ribs!

Pork ribs?

The generals looked at each other, yes, it's not lamb chops, it's not necessarily human ribs, it may also be pork ribs!

"No way." "I don't believe you can kill a pig, I'll show you the spot." ”

After that, she ignored the general's questions and asked the cook, "Tell me, why do you think it's pork chops?" ”

The cook looked frightened and dazed, he didn't know how the general could see that it was human ribs, but if he really roasted human flesh for the general and the generals to eat today, it would be a capital crime! It's much heavier than his sin of substituting pork ribs for lamb chops.

His life is at stake, and it would be a fool to hide it from him, "because, because what I asked for the day before yesterday was pork, and I sent it yesterday, and we, we thought it was pork......"

The General's Mansion was built in the northwest for many years, and the five cities in the Guannai were all barracks of the Northwest Army, and there were people in the towns behind. Those people are people who have been using it for a long time, and they have never gone wrong, who can think about anything else? No one will ever see meat and wonder if it's human flesh.

Twilight looked at him faintly for a moment and said, "Okay, back to the question just now, why do you use pork chops as lamb chops?" ”

"Because, because ...... There was too much pork delivered yesterday, and if you don't eat it, it will be ruined...... This, this lamb chop is fresh, and it is nothing to leave it for a day. I'm thinking about doing it again in the evening......"

"The vegetables and meat in the house are not customized?"

"Yes, there are ......"

"Then why did you send too much yesterday?"

"This ......" The cook had a knife around his neck, and he didn't dare to turn his head, but glanced at the side with the rest of his eyes.

The man kneeling next to him suddenly felt the blade of the knife next to his neck press, and the cold entered the flesh, and with a stroke, his life was gone. He hurriedly said to Yuan Xiu: "Great, general, I am in charge of the purchase in the house, but the day before yesterday, I only needed a bag of pork belly, a bag of lean meat, and a pair of elbows, and it was Xiao Zheng who sent the meat to send too much!" ”

"Why did he send too much?" Twilight asked.

He said that when the people who had brought meat heard that the general had led his army to quell the troubles, their hearts rejoiced, and they sent more. This kind of thing often happens on weekdays, and the general said that if the people send more than they send, there is no shortage of other people's money. So Xiao Zheng sent more meat, and I didn't think much about it. ”

"Exactly!" The cook said, "There is too much meat, I didn't finish it yesterday, so I made a few jars of cured meat with the leftovers, and there are some bones and meat left. ”

The general is not particular about eating, he originally thought that the generals were all rough people, and they couldn't eat lamb chops and pork chops, even if they ate it, it was nothing, but it was food, and it was not poisoned and nothing was wrong, and he didn't have any bad intentions, the general has always been kind to people, and he won't blame him. Unexpectedly, before the sheep soup was served, the soldiers came murderously, so frightened that he thought to himself, if he could survive this time, he would no longer dare to guess the general's intentions at will. But even if he gave him a hundred heads, he didn't expect that the pork chop served on the table would become a human chop!

"Then Xiao Zheng is specially going to the house to deliver ingredients?" Twilight asked.

"Uh, yes! We have been sending the sixth battalion of the gang in the city for two or three years. The cook replied.

Just when the cook answered, Yuan Xiu had already given an order to his own soldiers, "Find it!" ”

A group of soldiers was ordered to leave, and Twilight asked, "Is the elbow you sent yesterday still there?" ”

The cook was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned white.

"Done, eaten?"

"There is still one ...... left" The cook didn't dare to look at Yuan Xiu's face.

The generals hissed and inhaled, their faces were ugly, and there was one left, which means that they ate one?

General Gu's face was so green that it was almost oily, and he said angrily: "This matter must be investigated by the old man!" ”

"Great!" Only Twilight dared to say this, and she turned and walked to the kitchen, "Where?" ”

The cook was held to his neck by the knife of his own soldiers, where did he dare to move? Yuan Xiu gave the pro-soldiers a look, and those pro-soldiers brushed their swords. The cook didn't feel relieved at all, but felt a cold sweat on his back, shivered a few times and didn't get up, got up and stumbled into the kitchen, and pointed out the braised elbow in the vegetable basin next to a pot in the corner.

The elbow was bright and red, and the color was quite attractive, so Twilight picked it up and looked at it, and asked, "What about the jars of cured meat?" ”

The cook didn't dare to speak, but shivered and pointed to the three large jars in the corner behind him. Twilight walked over and opened it, and a fragrant smell of sauce came, and she fished it out and looked at it, it was all large pieces of meat, no bones.

"Human flesh?" Yuan Xiu's voice suddenly came from behind him, a little less hearty and friendly, and a little more low.

"I can't see it." Twilight said matter-of-factly, "There are no bones, and human flesh and pork look similar, but that elbow is undoubtedly a corpse piece." ”

The atmosphere inside and outside the courtyard suddenly became even more silent, and only the whistle of the yellow wind sweeping across the courtyard wall was heard.

Twilight got up, ignored the three jars that were useless to the case, flipped her palm, took the scalpel, neatly removed the meat from the braised elbows in the basin, walked to the pot of mutton soup with some human bones still attached to them, and threw the bones into it with her hand raised.

Boom!

"Why is that?" Yuan Xiu came from behind, his voice still sounding so low, as if what had happened to him had no effect on him.

"Cook the bones, the muscles are soft and rotten before they can be cleaned." Twilight stares into the pot and sees a sheep's head lying in the pot, surrounded by haggis and meat bones.

Clean? What's the use?

Yuan Xiu looked at Du Qing, the young man turned his back to him, looked into the pot, and picked up a big spoon to scoop up the pieces of meat and bones in the pot to look. Since the incident in the hall, she seems to have changed as a person, he thought that she had a cold and detached temperament, and only today did he find her sharp concentration, and it seemed that no one could take her eyes off this matter. Since she came to the kitchen, she only looked at the people who were related to the matter, and she didn't even give a look at the people who had nothing to do with it.

By this time, Twilight had already fished out several pieces of flesh and bones, and her fingertips broke the already soft flesh on her head.

The young man's fingers were as slender and white as jade, not like the thick hands of a man in the army, and the meat in the big spoon was steaming, smoking her hands a little hazy, and the fingertips were burned a little red, but she still looked at them intently.

Yuan Xiu's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, the doubts in his eyes were snatched away by the red fingertips, his voice sank a little, and he asked, "Why do you want to clean it?" ”

"Fight the bones." "To investigate this case, we need to know who the deceased is. Only by knowing who the deceased is, can we deduce who the murderer is and what his purpose is. This is not an ordinary case of murder and dismemberment, if it is just because of the contradictions between officers and men in the army, killing people by mistake or deliberately murdering people, the body should be buried and hidden after the killing, this is the normal psychology. Of course, there are also people who are afraid that the buried body will be discovered, so they think of cooking the corpse. But our murderer was so bold that he dared to send meat to the General's Palace. This is not a normal criminal mind, and I need to look at the bones of the deceased to make further inferences. ”

At this point, Yuan Xiu also understood that the murderer was coming at him, otherwise it would be good to bury him after the killing, even if the body parts were sent to the gang leader's camp, they should not be sent to him.

Ordinary people would never dare to do this!

"These are human bones?" Yuan Xiu looked at the pot and asked.

"Apparently not." Twilight looked up at the cook.

The cook grunted and swallowed, "Yes, there are lamb bones, haggis, and, yesterday's ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Twilight had a look on her face.

Yuan Xiu's brows furrowed, "So, how to fight?" ”

These bones have been cut into pieces, if this pot is all human bones, she said that she wants to fight bones, he already feels unbelievable, not to mention that there are sheep bones?

"It's fine, it's just to make the puzzle a little harder." Twilight said as she put down the spoon in her hand, "Some of the smaller pieces are almost stewed and ready to be fished out." Tired, bring a basin. ”

When the cook heard this, he trembled behind him, and a hand was stretched out next to Twilight, and the man's hand bones were distinct, and he could see the calluses that had been practicing martial arts for many years, but he unexpectedly did not feel too rough, but felt firm and powerful.

Twilight Qing took the basin in Yuan Xiu's hand and fished out the smaller pieces of meat and bones in the pot, "Cold water to cool down." ”

She took it for granted, Yuan Xiu took the basin to scoop the water, a group of generals in the courtyard looked straight at it, the general galloped on the battlefield, heroic and extraordinary, the hand who opened the bow of the god arm and wielded the fiery tassel spear actually brought the basin!

The generals' eyes were straight, Yuan Xiu had scooped up the water and brought the basin back, only to see the man dressed in jet-black riding clothes, his body was strong and slender, the scorching sun outside the courtyard was blazing, but the man's eyebrows were like a galaxy sparse, heroic and deep, but he was holding a vegetable basin in his hand, standing next to a young general, like a personal soldier.

Twilight didn't look at the man or the pot, but looked up at the courtyard and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Lu Da looked at the sky, "It's noon, and the sun is shining on the top of my head." What for? ”

"I'm hungry." Twilight Qingdao, she has always eaten regularly, the habit she developed in her previous life, but now that she is in the army, she trains hard, and she is getting hungry more and more, she never works hungry, this is a habit.

Lu Da thought she had something to ask for, but when he heard this, his face suddenly turned a little green.

Twilight turned around, picked up the lamb chops on the cutting board, and handed it to the cook, "Roasted, thank you." ”

The cook subconsciously took it, but he didn't catch it steadily, and with a click, the lamb chops fell to the ground.

Twilight frowned, "Those who don't know are not guilty, although you are guilty of deception, but the crime is not death, I don't think the general will kill you." So, can you return your strength and sanity to your body? ”

The cook was silent, and Twilight handed him the remaining lamb chops on the cutting board, "Hold on, don't drop it again." ”

The cook was holding the lamb chops, but he didn't dare to drop them this time, but just stared at Twilight with straight eyes, "General, general, you...... Do you really want to eat it? ”

He has never seen the appearance of this general, I heard that today's luncheon, the general is set up for the celebration of the newly appointed military commander General Zhou, this little general should be the legendary Ying Rui General, right?

Looking at his age, what's ...... Such a heavy taste!

"Ahem!" Suddenly Yuan Xiu coughed in the kitchen, the man lowered his head, the corners of his mouth were a little smiling, and when he raised his eyes, his eyebrows seemed to be a little bright, and the haze dissipated a little, and he said to the cook, "Bake her!" ”

The cook got Yuan Xiu's order, didn't dare to delay any longer, and stumbled away with the lamb chop.

Twilight took the basin and sat down on the threshold of the kitchen, took the scalpel and began to cut the meat-

Off topic -

I have a great goal, I hope that when the work is over, all the cute girls will watch the drama again, and they can watch and eat it without pressure.
