The bamboo tube was getting hotter and hotter, and the mouse inside was like an ant on a hot pot.
Soon, the mouse also felt that the mouth of the tube was relatively cold, but Cai Shisan's body blocked the mouth of the tube.
Out of the instinct of survival, the mouse He bit Cai Shisan's body hard, At first, Cai Shisan could bear it, but gradually, he couldn't hold it anymore and let out a heart-rending howl.
After a while, several big men opened the bamboo tube and looked at Cai Shisan's Five rats are shockingly embedded on his body.
These five rats had bitten his flesh, and the rats' heads were completely submerged into his body, leaving only the body and long tail exposed outside his body.
They were twisting and struggling.
Many big men present did not dare to Look again, Yan Hui stood up, walked up to Cai Shisan, gently poked his drooping head with his fingers, and said, "We in Zhen County have a famous dish called Sanzhi.
I wonder if you have heard of it."
Cai Shisan slowly raised his head and looked at Yan Hui, who was close at hand.
He said feebly: "Never heard of it." agt Yan Hui clicked his tongue, nodded at Cai Shisan, and said with a smile: "This is because your knowledge is shallow."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to the side and said: "Chopsticks."
A big man stepped forward quickly and respectfully handed over a pair of chopsticks.
Yan Hui picked it up, used the chopsticks to clamp a mouse embedded in Cai Shisan's body, and then pulled it out with force.
The mouse squeaked strangely, and he explained : "Pinch it with chopsticks, this is the first squeak," He turned around and walked back to the table, and dipped the caught mouse into the wine.
The mouse squeaked again, and he said with a smile: "Dip it in the wine, and it will squeak again."
After waiting for a while, he lifted the mouse out of the wine jar and said, "Put it in your mouth and it will be the third squeak.
Therefore, this dish is called the third squeak."
As he spoke, he raised his head and opened his mouth.
The rat head rushed down and slowly put it into his mouth.
Then, he closed his mouth and bit hard.
There was a crisp cracking sound of bones cracking in his mouth, and the rat let out a scream, and then, there was no more There's movement, He chewed heavily, and bright red blood dripped down the corners of his mouth.
He couldn't tell whether it was the blood of a mouse or the blood of Cai Shisan.
When he asked someone to push the cart, the reason why everyone present It makes you feel sick.
This is the reason.
Not long after, a mouse was chewed up and swallowed by him.
He looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's so happy."
He took out his handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes fell back on Cai Shisan and he said with a smile: "As the saying goes, when you are in the country, do as the Romans do.
Now that you are in Zhenjun, how can you not try Zhenjun's famous dishes?"
The people in the counties of Feng Kingdom did not have a good impression of Zhenjun.
They said that the people of Zhenjun were uncivilized barbarians who drank blood from their hair.
It was not without reason.
This was vividly demonstrated in Yan Hui.
Cai Shisan was not a good man to begin with.
He had been raised as a cold-blooded machine without emotion and killing people since he was a child.
However, when he saw Yan Hui, he felt that he was a small person.
Yan Hui gave him the feeling that he was not at all.
He is a person, but a monster, a beast.
He has no bottom line and can do anything.
Yan Huixiao looked at Cai Shisan, looking at him back and forth with malicious and eerie eyes.
He turned behind Cai Shisan, scratched his butt gently with his nails, and said: "There is also a famous dish in Zhen County called live donkey."
As he spoke, he wiped away the sweat stains on Cai Shisan's buttocks with a handkerchief, and continued: "On a living person, pour boiling hot water over it over and over again, first scald the meat, and then Slice it off piece by piece and eat it with sauce.
You have to know that the flesh of a living person is different from that of a dead person.
It tastes better and more delicious.
However, when boiling water is poured on it, people will always scream, so , this dish is named after a donkey."

Hearing his words, all the big men around him felt nauseated.
Don't think that Yan Hui was just trying to scare Cai Shisan.
He had really done this before.
He turned to look at the big men next to him and asked puzzledly: "What are you waiting for?
Go get the sauce."
"Yes, Brother Yan," the famous man agreed and ran out like the wind.
He was worried that if he stayed for a little longer, he would have to vomit in front of Yan Hui.
If you want to defeat a person, you must first defeat his psychological defense.
Now, Cai Shisan's psychological defense has collapsed.
He doesn't know how many methods Yan Hui still has, but he clearly knows that this person's methods are absolutely unparalleled.
It's not something I can bear.
He swallowed and said weakly: "My name is Thirteen," "Thirteen, this is really a weird name."
Hearing Cai Shisan speak, Yan Hui's face did not look happy and excited, but rather a little disappointed.
"Cai Shisan," "Haha, the secret guards of the Cai family."
Yan Hui has naturally heard of the name of the secret guards of the Cai family.
There are only ten secret guards in the Cai family who are named after numbers.
Their code names may be one or It is one hundred, but the total number of people is ten, The secret guards who can be named after numbers are definitely the ten most elite among the many secret guards of the Cai family.
Cai Shisan is one of them.
Yan Hui shrugged and said lightly: "Go on," "I sneaked into the Gu Mansion on the orders of the Second Young Master to take Gu Qingling's head."
"Wait, wait," Yan Hui stopped him and said, "On the order of the Second Young Master, Thirteen, you remember it wrong," Cai Shisan shook his head and said, "I didn't remember it wrong, and I won't remember it wrong."
"You must have remembered it wrong," Yan Huan returned to Cai Shisan, stood still, and said in a firm tone, "The only person who can order you is the head of the Cai family."
"My master has already assigned me to the Second Young Master to obey his orders."
"So, Cai Xiao is the mastermind," "No, I don't know about this," Yan Hui sighed with helplessness on his face and said, "You're still not smart enough."
How could Cai Shisan not understand what he meant?
Yan Hui was obviously pointing the finger at Cai Xiao.
Obviously, Cai Huang was just a small fish to him, and Cai Xiao was the real big fish.
But the actual situation was the same as what he said.
Cai Xiao did not know about his assassination of Gu Qingling.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I must have disappointed you."
"Indeed, it is very disappointing.
What I said must be true.
If I say I can save you, I will definitely be able to save you.
Unfortunately, you don't seem to want to let me save you."
What he meant was that as long as Cai Shisan was willing to testify against Cai Xiao, he would be able to save his life.
If he only testified against Cai Huang, he would not be able to save him.
Cai Shisan lowered his head, looked at the four mice still hanging on his body, and asked, "Can you help me take these things off?"
Yan Hui shook his head to the left and right, then turned around and walked out, saying without looking back: "Give him medicine and sign the confession."
When he reached the door of the room, he suddenly stopped again, looked back at Cai Shisan, and asked seriously: "Really, I won't change my mind again," Cai Shisan nodded to him and said, "Thank you."
Not to mention that Cai Xiao really didn't know about the assassination of Gu Qingling.
Even if he knew, he couldn't confess him.
If he could confess Cai Huang, it was already his.
It was his psychological limit, but there was no way he would betray Cai Xiao.
Yan Hui's deep gaze fell on his face, and he said, "What a pity."
After saying that, he didn't stop and walked out quickly.
Half an hour later, Cai Shisan's signed and signed confession was handed over to Yan Hui.

In the confession, Cai Shisan confessed that he sneaked into the Gu Mansion for the first time on Cai Huang's order and stole Gu Qingling's design.
The drawing was the military uniform used by Cai Huang during the selection.
After he was defeated, Cai Huang believed that he had been plotted by Gu Qingling, and sent himself to sneak into the Gu Mansion for the second time, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate.
After reading the confession, Yan Hui had the urge to go to the dungeon again and forced Cai Shisan to change Cai Huang's name on the confession to Cai Xiao.
But when he thought of the deathly determination in Cai Shisan's eyes, he again I think it's impossible to do it.
He called one of his subordinates over and asked, "Is Brother Xiu still in the Gu Mansion now?"
"Brother Yan, His Highness has returned to the palace," "Well," Yan Hui folded the confession, put it in his arms, stood up and said, "Let's go to the palace."
Shangguanxiu had been missing for half a month.
He had informed Tang Ling in advance that he was going to Shangjing to investigate.
In fact, Shangguanxiu knew the situation in Shangjing very well.
After all, Shangjing was full of Shura Hall spies. royal garden,
Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling walked side by side.
Tang Ling said, "I heard that the rebel army has now expanded to 600,000 troops, known as a million-strong army, and the national war is not very optimistic."
"The 600,000 rebels are just a mob and are nothing to worry about," Shangguan Xiu said disapprovingly.
Although Tang Yu's court occupied Shangjing, in the final analysis, its foundation was still too weak.
It did not have a large amount of money in its hands to recruit soldiers and horses.
But if there were no soldiers and horses, it would be equivalent to waiting for destruction.
But money will not be born for no reason, and no one will I will not get any military pay, but will risk my life to help you fight for no reason.
If you don’t have money, you have to get it.
Where does the money come from?
It’s through squeezing and plundering among the people.
Both the Tang Ling and Tang Yu courts chose the New Deal and abolished the privilege system of the nobility.
However, the biggest difference between the two courts in treating the nobility was that although the former abolished the privileges of the nobility, it did not touch the existing nobility.
You The property is still yours, and the personal belongings that belong to you will not be confiscated by the court.
This is not the case with the Tang Yu court.
The nobility has been abolished, so the property of the nobility should also belong to the state and all be collected into the national treasury.
Relatively speaking, Tang Ling's court's approach was undoubtedly more humane and more reasonable, while Tang Yu's court seemed barbaric, overbearing, and unreasonable.
Of course there is a reason for this.
The Tang Ling court had a strong foundation.
Just relying on donations from the government and the public, the treasury suddenly had more than hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
However, the Tang Yu court did not have such a foundation.
For its own To survive, in order to protect itself, it can only use coercive means to collect money.
This is also a no-brainer.
Again, policies are set by the court, but those who implement them are the people at the bottom.
The low-level officials in Tang Yu's court are all desperadoes with rebel origins.
When they collect money, they don't care whether you are He is not a nobleman, but he sees that his family has abundant wealth.
The big households were robbed.
If there was resistance, they would either confiscate their homes or kill them all.
During this period, Tang Yu also carried out strict investigations and uncovered several typical examples.
They killed chickens to scare monkeys and shocked tigers, but the effect was very little.
Under the rule of Tang Yu's court, the four eastern counties were in turmoil.
Uneasy, the people are in dire straits, In this situation, many people have no choice but to join the army.
People do not sincerely agree with your ideas and help you fight the war, but they have to join the army to help you fight in order to survive and not be persecuted.
The difference between the two is self-evident, so Shangguan Xiu said that the rebels were a mob, not to comfort Tang Ling, nor was it pointless.
In his heart, he really didn't take the 600,000 rebels seriously. ,:
