Chapter 572: Punishment
"Dr. Chen, what's so hard to say? Why do you want to stop talking? ”
"Back to Master Hou, I'm just wondering, this black ant never appears in winter, and there is a hibiscus planted in the yard, and the black ant hates the hibiscus the most, it stands to reason that there should be no black ants!"
Dr. Chen said very incomprehensibly, Cai Cong smiled and asked Dr. Chen to go down to receive the reward. After Dr. Chen went down, Cai Cong's face immediately changed, and he ordered someone to recruit Xiao Liuzi.
After a while, Xiao Liuzi walked in with a gloomy face, and when he saw that Cai Cong was still serving here, he waved them all down.
"What did you find?"
"The black ant crawled out of the charcoal stove shelf, and there was a hole in the wooden shelf at the very edge of the stove, even when the stove was the hottest, the temperature of the hole was not too high, just enough for the eggs to hatch, and the hole was specially chiseled out by someone.
It's no coincidence that I've looked it up, it's murder. Adults and even teenagers can't die after being bitten by black ants, but babies are bitten to death, and Chang'an has happened several times over the years. ”
When Xiao Liuzi just walked all the way, he looked like a bad person, and the servant was scared, and the anger in his heart was even more difficult to suppress at this time.
"Hehe......"
Cai Cong had a cold light in his eyes, and a sneer came out of his mouth, he was assassinated a few years ago and couldn't solve it in the end, so he thought he was a soft egg? Now even his infant children dare to move?
"In my opinion, all the people in your yard should be replaced, and all the people who have come into contact with this charcoal stove, including the workshop that produces it, should be tortured, and this matter can be handed over to Long Chen, I haven't seen anyone who can confess under his torture."
Xiao Liuzi has a murderous aura in every word, where are the people in the yard changed? Naturally, it was in the hands of Long Chen, and the person who could survive in the hands of Long Chen was also a cripple.
"Don't startle the snake in this matter, all the forces in the capital are mobilized, check it for me secretly, you must find out who did it, Lao Tzu will cut him with a thousand knives."
Cai Cong said coldly, both of his eyes were blood-red, and a violent aura permeated from him. Xiao Liuzi looked at him in surprise, Kyori's power was fully activated, and he believed that even if the murderer dug a hole and hid underground, he could dig people out.
Xiao Liuzi didn't dare to say anything and bowed slightly and retreated, he naturally knew that this was a manifestation of Cai Cong's anger, once the murderer was found, it would be bloody.
Cai Cong drank cup after cup of tea alone inside, the terrifying violent aura on his body gradually calmed down, and when he opened the door and walked out, he was already the elegant marquis, with a faint worry in his eyes to see his two treasures.
In the next time, he didn't come out of the house, Li Chengqian and they wanted to give Li Yuan filial piety for three months and did not come to Cai Cong, and the Hou Mansion was calm.
But secretly, the water was turbulent, and the people who were sent out to do business in the Hou Mansion had not been seen back since that day. There are people in various places in Chang'an who are listening to people with their ears pricked up, they have hawkers, coolies, small two in restaurants, turtles in brothels, and countless victories in all walks of life.
"Who was that man you went to see yesterday afternoon? You sent the charcoal stove in the Hou Mansion, what did you do? ”
In a gloomy dungeon, Long Chen looked intently with this theory in his hand, and interrogated casually in his mouth, in front of him, a middle-aged man was tied to a wooden shelf, his face was pale and looked at Long Chen with a horrified face, his skin was cut from his chest, all the way to his navel, the skin was torn and hung on both sides, the tender red flesh was exposed to the air, and the slightest wind blew and shivered in pain.
"Uncle, what I saw was my cousin, I really didn't do anything about the charcoal stove!"
The middle-aged man wailed, and Long Chen's face did not fluctuate at all, and said lightly: "Since you don't say it, let's eat more meat!" ”
As soon as his words fell, someone took a brush and brushed honey on the middle-aged man's chest and belly, and the middle-aged man who hurt died and came back to life. And that's not all, as soon as the honey is brushed, someone starts roasting it with a torch, and after a while, the smell of meat wafts through the narrow space.
"Now it's just a little meat on the surface, give you another chance, if you don't get the truth, cut off the meat and stuff it into your mouth, and in the end you will not be scalded to death, nor will you be cut to death, but eat too much meat and your stomach will burst, and you will die alive. The official is very kind and tired of eating barbecue, how about some boiled meat slices? ”
Long Chen Feng said lightly, the middle-aged man's eyes were full of panic, this person in front of him is not a person, he is even more ferocious and cold-blooded than a monster!
"I said, I said, spare me! That person is the eldest grandson's family, he asked me to copy the secret method of 100 steel refining from my uncle's house, I copied a little bit each time and sold it to him, and now I have exchanged a total of 5,000 taels, I don't want to eat my own meat, spare me! ”
"I said what I want to know is what you did in the charcoal stove you sent to the Hou Mansion, and I didn't let you say this. Invite him to eat boiled pork slices! ”
Long Chen said without raising his head, casually turned the page of the Analects and continued to read, deaf to the outrageous screams in his ears, he really only read the books of sages.
It was much later that he threw down the Analects and hung up the names of the middle-aged men in the booklet with a vermilion pen.
"It's not that, but it's a bonus. Tell the sixth master about the cousin of the eldest grandson's family stealing the secret method of 100 steel refining, and bring the next one in. ”
Long Chen said and beckoned to the little guy and asked him to massage himself, don't look at him all the time he has been studying, but his mental head is all over this man's body, and after repeated analysis, he is sure that this man is not lying, this spirit consumption is not small, and fatigue is normal.
The bloody torture seemed to have nothing to do with Cai Cong, he had already received the holy decree to enter the Ministry of Industry as a waiter, and on the first day he took office, he invited all his colleagues to Taibai Lou for a vegetarian banquet.
While they were singing and laughing, there was a very terrible cry on the street, and colleagues looked curiously on the street, only to see a man being chased and cut all the way by more than a dozen men with knives.
Yan Liben was just frowning at first, how dare the Son of Heaven be so rampant at his feet? But when he saw the face of the man who was cut down, he shouted in surprise: "Hurry up and go down to save people, that is the cousin of the eldest grandson, the old man has seen him several times." ”
"Yan Shangshu, the lower officials heard that they are not in their positions and do not seek their own politics, our Ministry of Industry should concentrate on civil bridges, and this kind of street fighting should be handled by Wuhou or Chang'an Ling, don't you say?"
Cai Cong suddenly said lightly, the officials who were about to go downstairs also stopped their tracks, although Yan Liben of the Ministry of Industry was the largest, but they didn't dare not consider Hou Ye's words, you must know that Hou Ye would kill people, Yan Liben was great and dismissed them.
