Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

the next morning.

As soon as Chen Yang got up, someone came to pass on the message, saying that Xia Houmao wanted to see him.

"He came too fast!"

Chen Yang muttered in his heart for a while, and then asked someone to take Xia Houmao to the reception hall, and he would go there later.

Chen Yang deliberately asked Xia Houmao to wait, and deliberately delayed for a long time before he appeared in the hall.

The moment Xia Houmao saw Chen Yang appearing, he knelt down and said respectfully, "Xiahoumao, come to make amends!"

Chen Yang said calmly: "Get up first!"

"Yes!"

After Xia Houmao stood up, he didn't dare to look at Chen Yang, and lowered his head quietly.

"You said you came to make amends?"

"That's right!"

"Then do you know what crime you are guilty of?"

"I'm extremely stupid. I was used by Sima Yi without realizing it. I almost killed the general!" Xia Houmao said loudly.

His voice was very sincere. If Chen Yang hadn't known something in advance, he might have believed his words.

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "In my opinion, you still can't figure out where you are wrong."

Xia Houmao asked puzzledly: "Please tell me, general, where did I go wrong?"

"I can't point out your fault. After all, it's your problem. How can I point it out?" Chen Yang said.

Xia Houmao didn't understand the deep meaning of these words, his attitude was more respectful, and he continued: "I really don't know."

Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Since you don't know and want to admit your mistake, go back and think it through before you come back. Besides... I can forgive your apology today!"

Xia Houmao was stunned for a while, since he explained that he was still at fault, why did he forgive him?

"Okay, you go back first, and remember to be smart when you do things in the future!"

Seeing his bewildered expression, Chen Yang didn't want to talk too much nonsense with him, so he waved him away.

"Thank you, General, for your forgiveness!"

Xia Houmao bowed, then turned and left, because he didn't want to stay in Chen Yang's place for too long.

However, the moment he turned around, his sincere expression became extremely cold.

Outside Chen Yang's mansion, there was already a Xiahou family's carriage parked.

After Xia Houmao sat in the car, he saw that Xiahou Dun was already waiting for him in the car, and the latter asked, "What's the matter?"

"Father, he has forgiven me!" Xia Houmao didn't tell the whole process.

Xiahoudun breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could forgive, but he asked again: "That's it?"

"He only said forgiveness and nothing else." Xia Houmao continued to hide.

"Let's go back!"

Xiahou Dun always felt that it was not that simple.

The carriage set off and headed back in the direction of Xiahou Mansion.

Inside the Chen Mansion.

"Husband, did Xia Houmao come just now?" Cao Ning came out of the room and asked anxiously.

Chen Yang nodded.

Cao Ning said again: "It's all Ning'er's fault, which caused trouble for my husband."

Chen Yang took her jade hand and said with a smile: "Xia Houmao is not troublesome, I have already controlled everything, no matter how much he tosses, I can't make waves. I was thinking, if I kill him, will he It will destroy the relationship between Lao Cao and Xiahou Dun."

"If you can't kill him, my husband should try not to kill me!"

Although Cao Ning is a woman, she also understands various complicated relationships in the family.

"it is good!"

Chen Yang nodded.

In the afternoon of this day, Chen Yang went to the factory.

"General!"

Mizhen was recording the latest accounts, when she saw Chen Yang coming, she quickly got up and gave a little bow.

Sure enough, she is a lady of everyone, and Mizhen's words and deeds reveal a sense of elegance everywhere.

She still didn't wear much today, as if she was not afraid of the cold, she only had a white leather jacket on her body, showing her Yujie's figure.

Chen Yang took a closer look, and found that her figure seemed to be better than Diao Chan's, and her exquisite lines were beautiful and moving.

When she saw Chen Yang coming, Mizhen's cheeks flushed slightly again, her elder sister Yu couldn't keep her coldness in front of him.

Chen Yang looked away with difficulty, and said, "Miss Mi, you're welcome, are you still used to being here recently?"

Mi Zhen said softly: "Thank you General for your concern, Zhen'er is used to these matters."

Her voice is also pleasing to the ear.

Just as Chen Yang was about to say something, Ye Shun suddenly came over.

"Lord!"

Ye Shun whispered something in Chen Yang's ear.

After he finished speaking, Chen Yang's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Take me to have a look."

Not far from the factory, dozens of soldiers escorted three ordinary-clothed people kneeling on the snow.

"Ye Shun, are you talking about them?" Chen Yang said.

"Yes, they are suspicious people that Shadow found near our factory, and they have been wandering here for several days."

Ye Shun said in a deep voice: "According to Shadow's investigation, these three people are not villagers from nearby villages. Judging from their physique, they are not what villagers can have. They are more like well-trained spies."

Chen Yang stepped forward, and the three people immediately lowered their heads, remained silent, their eyes were loose, as if they had lost the will to survive, and were waiting for death to come at any time.

"My lord, you can see that they have many scars on their bodies, and their bodies don't look like villagers who have been farming for a long time."

As Ye Shun said, he stepped forward, drew his knife and swiped across their clothes.

The thick clothes were scattered all over the ground, revealing various wounds on their bodies, as well as a body of strong muscles, which cannot be exercised by farmers.

The cold wind just passed by, and the three of them were shivering from the cold, but none of them had the intention to speak, and their mouths were very strict.

Ye Shun also grabbed a man's hand and forcibly lifted it up, and continued: "Look, my lord, there is a layer of calluses on their hands, which is caused by holding a knife for a long time, which is also different from that of farmers holding hoes when farming. .”

Chen Yang glanced at the palm of the man, and found that the calluses were obvious, not much different from the ones left by him after practicing sword for a long time.

"I will give you a chance now, tell me where you came from, you can live!"

Thinking of this, Chen Yang's eyes turned cold, and he said sharply, "Otherwise, die!"

The three knelt and shivered in the cold wind, without saying a word.

"Get me some ice water!"

Chen Yang pointed to one of them, and continued: "Also, tie his hands and feet."

The soldiers heard this, and immediately went to prepare for Chen Yang. The one who was selected was first bound and thrown to the ground.

The other two were very puzzled about what Chen Yang wanted to do, and looked over blankly.

After a while, two buckets of ice water were brought over.

Chen Yang picked up their clothes, covered the face of the man whose hands and feet were bound, and waved: "Pour the ice water on his face, but pour it slowly, don't pour it all at once."

The interrogation method he used was a well-known punishment—waterboarding!

The face was covered with a towel, and water was continuously poured on the clothes.

With the influx of water, the wet clothes can not only block the mouth and nose, but also prevent the prisoner from spitting out the water. Even if he holds his breath, he still clearly feels that the air around him is being sucked away, which can make the prisoner feel sick. Feeling of suffocation and drowning.
