…
At night.
While the lamps were being turned on at the inn, Zhongsun Mou was also writing furiously.
"Here comes someone."
The guards are coming.
"Take this letter to the capital of Chiyan and present it to the king."
The content of the letter is very simple, complaining that the special envoy sent by Prince Fu Shanyue of Chiyan was rude and unreasonable and obstructed the handling of the case.
He knew that the King of Chiyan had always disliked his eldest son, and if he received a complaint from the inspector of Lingxu City, he would probably take some action.
After the guards took the order and left, Zhongsun Mou began to enjoy his dinner.
He doesn't like hot food, so the chef who was with him tonight made him crystal clams, which are thinly sliced ​​sashimi and clam foot slices. Each slice must be so thin that it is transparent.
Shredded pepper and garlic slices, then dipped in some sauce and mustard, it is the taste that Zhongsun Mou is accustomed to.
The monsters in Lingxu City have lived with humans for hundreds of years, and they are very particular about food, housing, and transportation, but they are not like humans who like to eat all kinds of food. Zhongsun Mou is already very open-minded, and most sharks don't like human sauces.
.
While eating, he looked at the ivory ball in his hand.
Fushanyue's special envoy collected the ball first and was reluctant to hand it over. Is there something fishy about this thing?
He studied it for a long time and dropped some potion on it, but found nothing special.
He simply asked someone to cut it open.
It is solid and has no virtual machine inside.
The identification results showed that this was indeed ivory, and just ivory.
What a waste of his time.
After finishing the meal, he felt something in his heart and asked the old man who was the gatekeeper of Mr. Mai to come over and ask him carefully.
This time, he mainly asked Mr. Mai about his daily life and living habits, and also to see if the old man had lied. A question often appeared suddenly every once in a while, just when the old man was least vigilant. If his answers were inconsistent
, there will definitely be suffering.
If He Lingchuan was present, he would probably call him an expert. Whether it was Uncle Hao from Blackwater City or the Gale Army, they often interrogated prisoners like this.
But the old man never answered wrongly once.
Finally, Zhongsun Mou asked about Mr. Mai's diet.
The old man said that Mr. Mai likes noodles more than rice, and he also orders some soup and water when he wants a late-night snack. "Every time he comes to Shuanglu Town, he will bring a kind of very thin and white rice noodles and ask me to cook them."
He eats it. When Mr. Mai eats this powder, he puts it in boiling water and it becomes cooked."
"Extra thin and white? Where did it come from?"
"Then I don't know."
Zhongsun Mou then sent his guards to go to Mr. Mai's house again and bring back the fine powder.
The candle beside the table had just burned out.
When the guard was lighting a new candle, Zhongsun Mou caught a flash of green light in the corner of the old man's eyes.
"Huh?" He thought, "Do your eyes usually feel uncomfortable?"
The old man blinked frequently. He was not surprised before. After all, people have more problems as they get older.
But now, Zhongsun Mou put out the candle with one hand, and then asked the guards to light it again.
He is the master, he can do whatever he wants, and of course the guards have no objection.
When the candlelight came back on, Zhongsun Mou saw the green light flashing in the old man's eyes again!
It only lasted a moment, but it didn't escape his notice.
Zhongsun Mou sneered, suddenly grabbed the old man's neck, pulled him close, picked up the spoon from the plate with his other hand, and pressed and gouged out his eye sockets!
Chapter completed!
