"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier!" Caiyi was angry, and pricked more than a dozen stitches in a row, which reminded Xiao Ran of Mama Rong, as long as Caiyi was twenty years old, it was estimated that it would not be far from Mama Rong.

In the end, the butcher confessed, he felt that he was crazy enough to eat human flesh, but he still couldn't compare to this woman.

It turned out that the butcher's name was Zhang San, and he was really a Confucian disciple when he was young, but he didn't enter the Tianwen Academy, and he practiced in a small academy before.

But when Zhang San was young, his family was poor, and he often couldn't eat enough, let alone meat.

At that time, Zhang San's most enviable profession was actually the butcher in the town, because the butcher could eat meat from time to time, and Zhang San's ideal thing at that time was to have meat to eat every day.

One year of drought, the crops in the field were not harvested, and a large area of the small city where he was located starved to death, Zhang San also ate his own parents when his hungry eyes were dizzy.

Zhang San, who had never eaten meat since he was a child, suddenly opened a new door, and after entering, he kept eating human flesh, and the dead hooligans let him survive that time.

Just eat like this until the autumn harvest of the next year, even the landlord is thin into a bamboo pole, and he is a Zhang San who eats with oily faces.

After surviving the bad years, people's lives returned to normal, and Zhang San also read a lot of books in those days because he was well fed.

After all, the Xiucai recognized by the imperial court did not have to pay taxes, and there was a salary, Zhang San followed a Confucian disciple in the lower three realms to practice, the master entered a small academy to work, and Zhang San also entered the academy.

Although Zhang San's living conditions improved later, the taste of human flesh could not be dissipated in his mind, even if he ate beef, pork and mutton, he could not taste the original taste.

But Zhang San is already a scholar, he cherishes his feathers very much, and Yu Danizji's stealing of human flesh was discovered, and it is estimated that this life will be over.

However, his physical desires were greater than his reason, and he still ate human flesh, but he ate those dead people, and he did not kill anyone.

Zhang San eats human flesh once, maybe no one finds out, but there are many times, and the first person to find out must be the people around him, and finally his master found out that he eats human flesh.

As a disciple of Confucianism, how could his master tolerate such a miserable and inhumane thing, and in the end he couldn't help but abolish Zhang San's cultivation, and wanted to throw him into the yamen.

Zhang San didn't want to lose his freedom, so he took advantage of his master's unpreparedness to kill people and eat meat.

The master died, and he was afraid that he would be involved, so he came to ask Tiancheng, after all, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the eyes of the school palace are underground, but it is difficult to be discovered.

Zhang San took root in Wentiancheng, and since the Confucian disciples couldn't do it, he started the profession he dreamed of doing, that is, a butcher.

At the beginning, he was still selling pork seriously, but after a long time, he still wanted to eat human flesh, and asked Tiancheng to have a large population, so it was naturally a natural granary.

After all, there are too many people who die every day in Tiancheng, and there are also many beggars who die on the road.

After all, there is no difference between the meat of beggars and the meat of princes and nobles, and the biggest difference is only fat and thin, Zhang San himself still prefers to eat thin.

Zhang San himself still has cultivation, and it is difficult to find out how many so-called untouchables who live in the lower echelons of society and no one pays attention to them, so he has lived peacefully until now.

"How did you and the Eight Sages King meet?" Xiao Ran was curious about this.

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, the corners of Zhang San's mouth, who fell into memory, flashed a trace of mockery: "One day he was eating in the restaurant opposite, and he thought that the braised pork that day was good, but the method of making braised pork in each house was actually similar, and the pork was also chopped in a teacup. Finally, I met the Eight Sages!"

"In the end, he found out that you ate human flesh, and finally he liked it too?" Xiao Ran asked, wondering if he had eaten human flesh last time.

"Yes, but I don't think he's one of my kindred, he eats human flesh just to be a real man, because he's heard that eating human flesh makes him mighty and strong. Is this a fool?" the butcher scoffed.

"But despite this, it's not a reason for you to kill him?" Xiao Ran said slowly.

"That's true, I finally met a dinner friend, even if the purpose is different, but I'm still quite happy! At least someone and I can have a few drinks, not to mention that this person is the dignified Eight Sage King! It's just that I don't want to sneak around and eat human flesh anymore, and at the same time, the Eight Sage King doesn't want others to know that he eats human flesh! So I killed him!"

The butcher continued. It seems that he took the initiative to kill the Eight Sages King, because this is also a valid reason.

"You have a problem with logic, if you kill the Eight Sage Kings, you will kill them, why cut off the head and let Liu Laosi send it to Qingsi Building, and spend so much effort to find him a lower body? That disguised Eight Sage King is obviously not what you found" Xiao Ran directly pointed out the key point.

"It's just fun!" said the butcher perfunctorily.

"Caiyi, I think you can get a few more injections!" Xiao Ran turned his head and said, and then Caiyi began to inject needles, and the butcher did scream in pain, but he just didn't say anything to the opposing party.

Soon the butcher was unconscious, but now that there is still an hour of dawn, and if they can't force a confession, they will really startle the snake!

Xiao Ran is also a little anxious, he hates the feeling of doing half of this kind of thing and then not doing it, just like when you have a second to reach your peak, the world of things is cut off, and that feeling is very unpleasant.

He Xiao Ran must solve the case!

Xiao Ran knew that the butcher would definitely not survive, but if he didn't tell the people behind the scenes, he must have a handle in the other party's hands, and this handle must be something that the butcher has to protect even if he dies.

"Caiyi, have you collected the butcher's information?" Xiao Ran asked.

"It's all here!" Caiyi pointed to the thick pile of materials on the table, which made his scalp tingle, but he still had to read it.

Xiao Ran opened it and took a look, and found that all the materials bought here were some materials produced after Zhang San came to Wentian City, mainly some relevant records of the neighbors and the government.

As for what Zhang San did before he came to Wentian City, there is no record, after all, Zhang San grew up in a small place in the Tianwen Dynasty, and Qingsi has not yet reached that level, and he found the information before Zhang San.

Half an hour passed, Xiao Ran closed all the materials, as a Confucian cultivator in the realm of life, reading is actually not time-consuming, but Xiao Ran doesn't like to read.

"Did you find anything?"

"Wake him up!" Xiao Ran said lightly, his eyes flashing with a gleam.

At this time, Caiyi also knew that Xiao Ran had made a discovery, and the pair of materials had just been collected at night, and he didn't have time to read it, but obviously Xiao Ran had made a discovery, and he also admired Xiao Ran's alertness in his heart, because these things were arranged by Xiao Ran.

"Liu Laosi's adopted daughter was blinded by you!"

The butcher had just woken up, and he was still a little confused, but Xiao Ran's words revealed a trace of shock and guilt in his eyes.
