For several days after that, Zhao Chen fell into a state of idleness.

Jin Abacus never came back, and Meng Yong couldn't see anyone when he went out early and returned late all day-

Just as she was slumped in bed bored, wondering where to find some fun, an uninvited guest came to the door, and brought a tall wooden box.

The stench made Zhao Chen frown: "What is this for?" ”

Xie Yizhang covered his nose and hid aside, motioned to the servant to open the box, and said with disgust: "The person you want was already like this when you found it." ”

There was a man huddled in the wooden box, ragged and unkempt, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all sewn together with needles and threads, and only bare bone stubble was left at his ten fingers, which looked extremely miserable and terrible.

Zhao Chen first tried the other party's neck vein, and when he saw that the person was still alive, he took out the dagger, slowly cut the line on his mouth, and pried open his chin to poke the dagger in.

The place touched was empty.

After cutting the rest of the place one by one, she withdrew her hand and took a closer look.

Xie Yizhang, who witnessed all this, held on to the dead tree in the courtyard and couldn't stand up, and only scolded in a low voice for a long time: "Do you dare to be more disgusting?" Look at him like that, he also knows that he has long been wasted, and he still takes it apart to see what! ”

Zhao Chen ignored him, and secretly admired while wiping the dagger, the method of the person who started it was definitely sophisticated and neat.

"He's the leader of those killers?" Zhao Chen asked without raising his head.

The so-called leader is the role of introducing jobs to those who are dying, and collecting profits from them.

Because the lead has the information of both parties, there are also extremely strict rules in this industry, so that both the killer and the employer can act with peace of mind.

Once you break the rules, you will end up like the man in the box.

Gouging out the eyes and pulling out the tongue, filling the ears and nose, cutting off the fingers and feet...

"Yes, my fifth uncle took a lot of effort to find him, and he was just about to collect the money and loosen his mouth-" Xie Yizhang vomited for a while, "You also saw it, I don't know how to leak the news, and now it's like this." ”

Zhao Chen pouted: "Could it be that you want to send this king like this?" ”

"Don't worry, although the fifth uncle didn't ask who the employer behind it was, he also found out, and they didn't come to kill you at all!" As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, and his face became more and more difficult to look at.

When he returned home that day, he told his elders what had happened.

After that, Xie Wu confirmed after a little investigation that there was really a killer who broke through the Wuwang Mansion that night.

Although it is certain that this matter was not done by herself, as Zhao Chen said, only the Xie family has been in conflict with her recently.

If she is relied on by this scourge, it will definitely be unreasonable to stir up three points, and it will be reasonable to make trouble to the heavens, in case it arouses His Majesty's suspicion and those ghost thoughts in the court, but the gains outweigh the losses.

In the end, the more savvy people think, the more complicated they think.

The Xie family held a clan meeting that night, and after a night of deliberation, Xie Wu was sent to track down and take the lead, and the entire Xie family began to clean inside and out just in case, trying to make people unable to find out the handle.

And the first one to be warned by the clan was Xie Yizhang, the eldest grandson.

He trembled angrily, pointed at Zhao Chen and asked, "You knew that the killer wasn't coming at you, did you?!" ”

Looking at his angry appearance, Zhao Chen somewhat guessed the scene of the Xie family, and couldn't help laughing, his eyebrows and eyes were full of cunning, and he looked extremely begging.

Xie Yizhang's eyes turned red when he saw this: "You bastard!" Do you know that my family has been lost—"

Suddenly, a smooth hand pressed on his shoulder, and at the same time, the owner of the hand said softly: "Remember this lesson, from today onwards, learn to control anger, use your brain more and move less anger." ”

Seeing that no one was next to the other party and began to teach the child, Zhao Chen was not annoyed but smiled even more.

As soon as these people entered the hospital, the man in coarse linen clothes was particularly conspicuous.

The posture and posture of the eyes, the light and the pace of the eyes, all show that this person's external kung fu has reached the upper level.

The Xie family has admired literature for generations, and has always regarded martial artists as reckless men, but Xie Duan gave birth to an outlier-

She smiled and asked, "The fourth child of the Xie family?" ”

Xie Si looked at Zhao Chen with his eyes.

He has been away from home since he was a child, and he is not like the people in Beijing, and he has any prejudice against Zhao Chen.

Whether it was the other party's tossing of chickens and dogs in the clan with just a few words, or Fang Cai's unchanging inspection and leadership, it was enough to make him a little wary.

He arched his hand and said: "I have seen Prince Wu, and I am here to ask for an explanation among the generations." ”

"Fourth uncle! You guys, you already knew? Xie Yizhang asked hurriedly.

Xie Si ignored him, just looked at Zhao Chen fixedly.

Zhao Chen dusted off his body casually, limped to the side and sat down, and then asked with a smile: "What do you want?" This king has helped you to prepare for this rainy day, shouldn't you thank this king? ”

Xie Si's eyes were strange, and he said: "Although the words are reasonable, this statement still needs to be discussed." ”

"Lao Xie is looking for this king all day long." She pointed at Xie Yizhang, "This muddy thing is always uninterestingly bumped into the hands of this king, and if you really want to break it, who will find who will say the law." ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "Go back and tell Lao Xie that this king is generous and doesn't care about old grudges with him, as long as he digs out his employer, this king will definitely forget about the assassination of your hired murderer." ”

Rao is Xie Si is calm mentality, and he can't help but be angered by the other party's shamelessness.

Is it so easy to find someone who is so ruthless? Not to mention the manpower and material resources to be consumed, the risk alone is something that Xie is unwilling to bear.

And this is one of the reasons why Zhao Chen had to let the Xie family investigate.

After a while, he said coldly: "Although the clan is unwilling to entangle with you, it doesn't mean that you can be bullied-"

"Okay, I know that your family is amazing, unlike this king, there is no father's pain and no mother's love, not to mention, and now even the one acre and three points of land where you live, anyone can come to hang out." Zhao Chen shook his head and sighed lightly: "It seems that I am afraid that I can't live here, so this king has to ask for orders to move to the palace to serve the ancestors." ”

"Do you really think you can rely on us? If there is no evidence, what if you sue the Queen Mother! ”

"You are wrong, this king wins because he is powerless, although no one in the court likes this king, but no one is afraid of this king, they all wish that this king would be against the Xie family."

Zhao Chen's eyes narrowed into a thin line with a smile: "If you want to say that this good tiger is afraid, it can't stand a group of wolves." ”

Xie Si frowned, and said unrelentingly: "But it's not you who the other party wants to kill, but Meng Yong, who sings opera, why do you want to do such a thing that doesn't outweigh the losses for a play." ”

"He's good-looking—" Zhao Chen shook his head and sighed: "Where is this king willing to let him be remembered by others?" ”

Xie Si almost didn't hold back, and it took a while before he forcibly said, "I will bring the words back to the clan in the next meeting, and say goodbye!" ”

"Take this box with you." Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Also, let your old Xie make less trouble with this king in the future, this king will not hold grudges this time, next time... But I can't say for sure. ”

Xie Si's body stiffened, and he didn't look back and ordered someone to carry the box, and he dragged Xie Yizhang away, and if he stayed any longer, he was really afraid that he couldn't help but slap this scoundrel to death.

It wasn't until the other party was completely away that Zhao Chen slowly put away his smile and thought about it silently.

But before she could think about it, a second guest arrived.

And brought news about the case.
