The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 124 Rumors
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, Chen Lei's arm survived, and the news spread like wildfire. The nobles and wealthy families who originally wanted to go to the craftsman's department fell silent, collectively forgetting the money owed to them by the craftsman's department.

In the torture room of the imperial guards of the imperial city, the wailing of human beings could be heard continuously, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt limbs.

Chu Qianhan walked in the dark passage, and asked Jiang Sixue, the guard following behind him, "Have you found Zhou Ruoyun yet? How many days has it been?"

Jiang Sixue, who was following behind him, sank, and the colleagues who followed him even lowered their heads and dared not speak.

A few days ago, Mo Ye was besieged and killed more than [-] people.Even if they were specially trained slayers, it would inevitably make people feel sad. So when searching for Zhou Ruoyun's whereabouts, they didn't pay as much attention as before, and only caught some small characters on the periphery of the magic machine platform.

Chu Qianhan walked through a corner, and vaguely heard the painful groans of the prisoners, talking to someone.

"Have you heard? The severed hand of the master craftsman of the Chen family has been taken back. As long as he is in cultivation for half a year, he will be like a good person. I don't think these people will die for the time being and they have to take good care of them."

"Why?" Someone asked curiously.

"You have to ask, there are so many disabled nobles, nobles, princes, generals, and generals in the Ministry of War. Many of them need to have their hands and feet transplanted, and ordinary people's hands and feet recover slowly. They need to go through years of training like this, full of blood, my old hook It’s time to change the hooks, I haven’t touched a woman’s buttocks for more than ten years, show me, which one of them has better hands, and leave it to Grandpa.”

"Boss, I think this pretty boy is pretty good, with thin skin and tender flesh, and it's almost the same as when you were young. He's a standard handsome man."

"Okay, it's him, just shut up, and don't let him recruit."

"That's right, it's best not to recruit them. My uncle's broken leg should be replaced. We need to find a suitable one. Let me see, that one is about the same size as my uncle."

The two played together and sang together.

Chu Qianhan frowned, the rumors were a bit distorted, Shangguan Qing explained the principle of replantation of severed limbs with the theory of vitality, stating that different people's hands and feet cannot breathe and transplant.But the recovery of Chen Lei's broken arm was too shocking. Many people thought that Shangguan Qing said it was impossible because he was afraid of hurting Tianhe, not that he couldn't do it.Many people are thinking about selling their hands and feet to wealthy families so that they can earn enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Shangguan Qing still misunderstood the people of this era. Many people are afraid of poverty and hunger. Instead of losing their hands and feet in the war, or being frozen in the severe cold, they would rather exchange their hands and feet for a few years of food.

At this time, someone cried bitterly: "I'll recruit, I'll tell you everything, I know who offered the reward to Miss Shangguan, and I have met Miss Shangguan, if you don't believe me, you can ask."

Chu Qianhan quickened his pace and walked into the torture room filled with a strange smell. Old Hook, the owner of the torture room, hurried over and knelt down to salute.

Old Hook is almost seventy years old. He broke a hand when he was young to protect a nobleman. Since then, he has served in the Imperial City Department for 40 years.

Chu Qianhan waved him to get up, looked at the prisoner who was shouting for a confession, and looked carefully, he was indeed an acquaintance, it was Ku He, the Shenjitai assassin who was arrested for assassinating Shangguan Qing and then let go.

Chu Qianhan almost forgot about a little assassin who was below the fourth rank.

"Bring him out."

"promise."

Ku He breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to cut off his limbs and watch them grow on other people.He wants to choose his own way of death, not at the mercy of others.

Ku He was taken to the public hall on the ground floor of the prison, where he was guarded by four guards. The shackles on his body weighed sixty kilograms, and it was difficult to move them.

Seeing Chu Qianhan sitting high above, Ku He said loudly: "I know who offered a reward to the Shangguan for promotion, and I am willing to tell all of them. I just ask His Highness to give you a good time, and don't break my limbs."

Chu Qianhan waved his hand and asked the guards to leave, and when only he and Ku He were left in the room, he asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Princess Anyuan." Ku He lowered her voice, but it was enough for Chu Qianhan to hear.

"Oh." Chu Qianhan was not surprised, or had expected it.

"In the beginning, it was indeed Princess Anyuan who wanted to kill Miss Shangguan, because she had a grudge against her for ruining her family's business, but after investigation, it was found that the girl was the orphan of the second miss. Taiwan, you have seen what happened later, the lord was very angry when he found out, and asked us to take both the young lady and the eldest lady back, but the eldest lady disappeared, and we couldn't find the eldest lady."

The bitter lotus bamboo tube poured beans, and told some secrets that Chu Qianhan didn't know.

"Is Zhou Cang out of customs?"

"Yes, the lord left the customs not long ago. He wanted to see the young lady very much, so we dare not carry out the assassination mission left by the young lady."

"Zhou Cang has left the customs." Chu Qianhan's focus was drawn to him.

Zhou Cang, the master of God Machine, is the strongest assassin in the Fire Continent. Twenty years ago, Zhou Cang went deep into the enemy's camp and assassinated an enemy commander among the 20 troops.Ten years ago, Zhou Cang sneaked into the northern emperor's tent and cut off the northern emperor's head in the tent.Seven years ago, Zhou Cang went to Beijing to assassinate the emperor's uncle Chu Jixu, which shocked the Chu government and the public.Six years ago, Zhou Cang sneaked into the capital to assassinate the crown prince Chu Qianyu, and was discovered by the guards of the crown prince. He killed one man and one sword from among the three thousand tigers. The world confirmed that Zhou Cang already had the power of a super master, and the reputation of Shenjitai was shocking. Big Chu.

"Six years ago." Chu Qianhan always felt that something was wrong.

Ku He looked at Chu Qianhan in bewilderment, his brains turned sharply, trying to make up more information.Zhou Cang still doesn't know the identity of Shangguan Qing, and the killers brought by Zhou Ruoyun are all her confidantes, and they are connected with Zhou Ruoyun's interests, so they don't want to see outsiders become the future masters of Shenjitai.

Ku He didn't know that the lie he made up opened up another key point in Chu Qianhan's heart.

"What evidence do you have to prove that An Yuan wanted to kill Shangguan Qing?"

"We don't keep a contract."

Ku He thought hard, hoping to find one or two pieces of evidence, but Chu Qianhan shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's useless to identify her, come and tell me what kind of person Zhou Ruoyun is? What's there?" Such habits, how do you usually manage you killers."

"I'll say it, I'll say it all." Ku He nodded repeatedly and said some mixed truths and falsehoods.

Chu Qianhan ordered someone to write down Ku He's words, put them into a book, and after repeated confirmation, copied two copies, one for filing, one for the emperor, and one for him to carry with him.

When leaving the public hall, Chu Qianhan ordered Ku He to be imprisoned, saying that he would not continue to work hard and make a decision after he checked Ku He's confession. If Ku He's confession was false, then what awaited him would be even more serious. Cruel punishment.

"Shangguan will give lectures to the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau in a few days, and there is a shortage of death row prisoners for autopsy. You'd better guarantee that everything you said is true."

Chu Qianhan's words before leaving not only frightened Ku He, but even the guards in the prison were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
