My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 30 Behind the Scenes (compensation plus update 14)

"You want to kill those Aragami cultists, and my father will support you. But you are not allowed to go in person, and it is best not to show up. Now that we have finished talking about the small things, it's time to talk to you about serious matters. You just stay at home these days. , my father has already arranged a marriage for you."

Su Chen, who was looking for food, stopped and asked with confusion on his face: "Huh?"

"She's the granddaughter of Fang Xueshi. You've seen her before." Su Congfang straightened her expression, "You two fell in love in the backyard that day, and both my father and Fang Xueshi saw it. Besides, you two have been engaged since childhood."

"what?!"

Su Chen opened his mouth wide, and the chopsticks fell from his hands and fell to the ground with a clang.The image of the woman with a knife on her back and a knife on her waist, a bright smile on her face, and striding towards him suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly shuddered.

This is different from the lady I imagined.

"Dad, that Fang Xuejun..."

"What's up with her?"

"A bit tiger."

"What kind of tiger is it? Can it still eat people?" Su Congfang slapped the table twice: "The marriage is settled like this. If you can't even subdue a tigress, what else can you do?!"

"Master Marquis, Madam asked you to come over." Chunmei Shiran came from the back hall and said softly.

"Well, I'll be there in a moment."

Su Congfang nodded, stood up slowly, and pointed at herself, "Look at Dad, how high is his status in front of your mother? You should learn from this." After taking two steps, he suddenly quickened his pace and turned to the back hall.

Su Chen and Su Yong looked at each other, then laughed twice. After breakfast, the brothers walked out of the hall together.

"Actually, it's not you and I who can decide whether to get married to the Fang family. You see, Su Huan and I can live a respectful life as guests after we get married." Su Yong was afraid that his third brother might have emotions in his heart, so he said some comforting words as he walked: "The Fang family is here Yunqi County is very prestigious, and it is a scholarly family. Whether it is in the court or in several states of Yan, there are disciples and former officials. They are good to the Su family after all, and they will not disgrace your status as the son of the Su family. From now on..."

When he reached the door of the mansion, Su Yong stopped and punched Su Chen lightly on the chest. "If you are not happy with the eldest brother, don't show it. I will look for a few more beautiful concubines for you in the future."

"This is what you said. Don't go back on your word when the time comes. I have a high standard." Su Chen also joked and watched his eldest brother get on the carriage and watched a group of soldiers escort him away.

The smile on his face faded, and he whistled, and Thirteen and Zhu Gongdao fell to the left and right.

"Let's go to Gang Leader Chen."

The eastern part of the city is located in the south. The streets are remote and dilapidated, and the houses on both sides are covered with dust. Most of them are half-doored buildings of private prostitutes, with lanterns hung on the half-open lintels. There are groups of greenwoods walking around. The three people who came over retreated one after another holding their weapons. Those who knew their identities quickly stepped forward to greet Su Chen.

At the end of the street, there was a large house. The gate was mottled and scratched, and a pair of swords hung on the door beam. One of the gatekeepers hurried in, and the other one, with a smile on his face, greeted Su Chen and the others as they walked in. .

Chen Luoping, who came after hearing the news, quickly put on his robe, wiped the lip marks on his face and came out quickly. As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he met Su Chen, "Third Young Master, come here, why didn't you send someone to inform me first? Come on, Third Young Master, please sit inside. "

"No need, tell me where the people I brought back yesterday are being held, and you can continue with your business."

"Yes, come quickly. Third Young Master, go to the side compartment!"

Chen Luoping knew the temper of the third young master, and he would be beaten if he didn't let him follow him or get close to him.The minions he recruited were also smart and sensible. He sent away all the idle people along the way. When they arrived at the side compartment where they were being held, he opened the copper lock on the door and retreated out of the Crescent Moon Gate in a wise manner.

Thirteen stood under the eaves holding a sword. Zhu Gongdao opened the door first and went in. The light in the room was dim, and a human figure without limbs could be vaguely seen abandoned in the corner.

The oil lamp flickered and lit up, and the smell of urine made Su Chen slap his nose. Looking at the man covered in blood and with a dead look on his face, he walked straight to the other party.

“Where has yesterday’s majesty gone?”

Zhu Gongdao moved a chair, Su Chen shook his robe and sat down, stretched out his steps, stepped on the assassin's broken knee wound with his toes, frowned and shut up when he saw the assassin, increased the strength of his toes, and pressed hard on the assassin's wound. Twist it a few times.

The assassin took a deep breath and stared at Su Chen with wide eyes.

"My father is a good father. He doesn't want me to know too much. I am a filial son and there is no way I can force my father. Are you right?"

Su Chen leaned back in his chair, "Then... I'll just let you say it."

The man had disheveled hair and a sneer on his lips.

Su Chen also smiled, took out a small paper bag from his belt, and handed it to Zhu Gongdao: "Give this righteous man some 'soothing and bone-relieving' powder."

Zhu Gongdao opened the paper bag, and a pungent smell rushed out. The powder was gray and white, with many particles. It slipped to the ground and fell on the thatch, instantly dyeing it black.

"Either grit your teeth and endure until the end, or say it before you try it. Otherwise, wait until you have finished enjoying it. Wouldn't it be a waste of stimulation?" Su Chen looked at him with a smile, crossed his fingers, and wished Gongdao expressionless. He walked to the assassin and squatted down.When the latter heard Su Chen's words, he gritted his teeth and spoke hoarsely.

"You and your family will die badly."

"It sounds like if I let you go, our Su family will be much better off." Su Chen looked coldly and shook his finger at him: "You are just a dog being led by someone else. Who would think that you are dead anyway?" It’s a pity, have you ever seen a dog cry?”

"you……"

Su Chen exerted force on his feet again. The assassin clenched his teeth in pain and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"A master like you actually needs to save face, right? You said that if I put you in a tank and hang you on a tower to show people going in and out of Ding'an City, and your enemies and companions saw you, would you feel worse? die?"

These assassins are not Jianghu people, but they are highly skilled in martial arts, and they have to show some respect, otherwise they would not wear black scarves to cover the dense pimples on their faces.

Before he could speak, Zhu Gongdao poured some of the powder on his broken arm. The moment the powder touched the wound, pungent white smoke rose up, and the assassin suddenly screamed "Ah-", like a flesh maggot. Writhing on the ground.

Su Chen raised one leg and raised his hand again, indicating with his fingertips that Zhu Gongdao should continue.

"One wound hurts like this. How much pain do you think it would have if there were three other wounds?"

"It hurts...ahhh...it hurts..." The assassin twisted back and forth, rubbing the broken wounds on the ground. The scaled areas were re-abraded, dripping with blood, and stained the ground red.

Su Chen smiled and stretched out a finger and said word by word: "You have one more chance. I told you to leave as soon as possible. And after you die, no one will pay homage to you. They still enjoy the food and drink spicy food." I might even take over what belongs to you, so why not drag some people down to accompany you."

A person whose limbs have been cut off in this way is worse than death. Telling him to let go of his life is simply to talk to death. It is better to twist his heart and tell some secrets to make him feel that it will be better to drag a few people into the water before he dies. Pleasure.

The assassin's face was covered with painful white sweat. He stared at the smiling Su Chen, as if looking at an evil ghost.

a long time.

He squirmed, and a low voice rang out: "The person behind this is the prince!"

Su Chen guessed that it would be a prince or the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, but when he heard the word "prince", the expression on his face gradually changed from a smile to a gloomy one.

"Why do you want to kill my Su family?"

"I don't know... The leader just said that we should get the "General's Night Banquet" and kill Su Congfang." When the assassin saw Su Chen's gloomy expression, he grinned, as if taking revenge, and felt very happy.

"Do you feel powerless? The Crown Prince of Yan has a lot of troops. He wants to kill your Su family. You don't even have the ability to retaliate... Third Young Master Su... your father is right... Don't bring it to light. It’s not easy for the prince to take action, but once the words are revealed, Ding’an City will be faced with the prince and soldiers from several states.”

The word "Prince" was indeed like a heavy punch to Su Chen's heart, but he didn't dwell too much on it. As the assassin said, as long as he didn't expose this matter, how long could he survive? Year, when the drought has passed and Ding'an City has regained its strength, and I have soldiers and horses, and a fierce general to lead the army, I will be able to stand firmer by then.

He stared at the other person.

"How is the martial arts of the altar master in Ding'an City's sub-altar? How many more of you are there?"

"How do you know about the divisions?" The assassin was obviously startled by these words. Then he saw Su Chen take out a piece of paper from his arms and bring the map drawn on it to him.

"The official you killed told me that he expected that he might die, so he drew the location of the Aragami Sect's altar in advance and gave it to the family opposite."

The assassin was silent for a while and whispered: "There are still 200 people over there, and the altar master's martial arts are about the same as mine."

"Thank you."

Now that he knew everything, Su Chen put away the note, ignored the assassin with a shocked expression, stood up and walked outside, "Thirteen, go in and give him a good time."

Thirteen turned around and went in without saying a word, closing the door behind him. Immediately there was the sound of a long sword being unsheathed, and the sound of flesh and blood being split apart.

Su Chen walked out of the side compartment and walked straight past several waiting minions, speaking without pause.

"Go get rid of the body."

"Yes!"

Several minions raised their hands and clasped their fists, and responded loudly.
