From the sword of the third master

Chapter 78

Aries sneaked into the Duan family's mansion and did not choose to attack anyone, but poisoned all the innocent gamecocks to death. This was clearly an act of deterrence, and of course it was also a form of revenge.

Chen Sheng couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

——Under his professional guidance, Duan Yunong and others have already handled the scalper's body, and it has been handled quite cleanly. I believe it is absolutely impossible to leak the news.

So the question is, how does Aries know?
There is only one possibility, that is, the scalper may have told Aries about the plan before he acted, which caused Aries to find Duan's family after his brother "disappeared".

In the original book, the two of them share similar tastes, and they are a pair of good partners. Aries' revenge behavior is "reasonable and reasonable".

Chen Sheng finally figured out his joints, and turned to look at the frightened Duan Hefei.

The big boss had a sad face and was very sad.

Duan Hefei may not be so courageous, but the one who was poisoned to death was his beloved after all, if he came suddenly, the sense of fear would be doubled.

"Twelve zodiac signs, the zombies of Aries are scattered?"

Chen Sheng nodded: "Yes. A moment ago, the chickens were crowing very powerfully, but in a blink of an eye, they were all frozen. The poisonous fruit of the white sheep is really overbearing."

"White sheep are formidable, but this is my territory after all, and the Duan family will never let anyone slaughter it!" Duan Hefei said to Chen Sheng angrily, "Sir, you have been exhausted all the way, so I will send you to the guest room to rest first." , I will not accompany you."

"Boss Duan, please go ahead." Chen Sheng knew that he still had to arrange a strategy to defend against the enemy, so he didn't talk nonsense.

Duan Hefei clasped his fists to bid farewell, and was just about to leave when a servant ran into the backyard in a panic, shouting as he ran.

"The master is not good, the master is not good..."

"Damn it, what's wrong with the master? Talk slowly if you have something to say!"

"Yes, yes." The boy stammered, as if he was quite frightened: "Master, all the dozen or so small dogs in our family were poisoned to death, and they were even hung on trees."

"what?"

Duan Hefei jumped up: "Where is my 'white cotton'?"

The boy said, "Master's favorite white cotton is gone."

"Twelve zodiac signs of God, I will be your ancestor!"

Duan Hefei was heartbroken, his face became more and more ugly, suddenly he staggered, and then fell down.

"Oh, master, you..."

The little servant was at a loss, jumping up and down like a monkey in a panic, but he didn't know what to do.

It seems that this kid may have sneaked into the Duan family through nepotism, and he has nothing but a bright voice.

"Shut up!" Chen Sheng scolded from the side: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and invite the doctor, and notify your young boss by the way!"

"Oh, yes."

……

Duan Yunong has the style of a general, knowing that there may be foreign enemies invading, and his father fell ill again, he still kept calm.

She quickly arranged for her father, and then decisively summoned her subordinates to discuss matters.

As a guest of the Duan Mansion, Chen Sheng was very honored and was also invited.

Since returning home at noon, Duan Yunong has changed into new clothes, but for some reason, she is still dressed in men's clothes, which makes Chen Sheng feel very strange.

Changing clothes outside may be for convenience, why don't you change them when you go home?

Did she really think of herself as a man? !

Chen Sheng: "..."

Duan Yunong looked around and asked, "Is there any loss at home?"

"Reporting to the Young Master's family, apart from the poisoned chickens and dogs, there are currently no casualties." A nurse replied.

"First the chicken, then the dog." Duan Yunong snorted coldly: "Aries has a record of exterminating his family many years ago. This is his usual method. The purpose is to intimidate us, so that we can't eat well and sleep well. Then start slowly..."

Chen Sheng thought it made sense.

Aries could have caused more damage, but he just "casually" killed a little livestock, clearly to create panic and torture everyone mentally.

Twelve signs, these people are abnormal.

Duan Yunong was quick thinking, and quickly sent out instructions one after another.

The first point: send people to guard all the water sources in the house to prevent poisoning;

The second point: from now on, all the things that enter the mouth must be pricked with silver needles, and they must not be eaten indiscriminately;
The third point: increase the intensity of patrolling. Everyone who participates in the escort must be equipped with hidden weapons and whistles as standard. If there is any trouble, use the whistle to warn immediately, and besiege the Aries at the first time;
The fourth point: people who go out are not allowed to place orders. If there is a need to go out, there must be more than three people to go together;
The fifth point: spread hero posts widely, calling on fellow martial artists to come to help...

The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are clear. In a very short period of time, Duan Yunong was able to think of so many effective methods. His brain is really not simple. Even Chen Sheng was deeply impressed.

And when she gave the order, the little ones obeyed resolutely, without hesitation at all, which showed that her prestige in the family had reached its peak.

"Mr. Xuanyuan."

"Ok?"

Duan Yunong cast his gaze over and looked into Chen Sheng's eyes: "Sir, you have been walking around the rivers and lakes for a long time, and you have a wealth of experience and experience. Do you have anything to add about the methods I mentioned just now?"

Chen Sheng shook his head: "The Young Master's family is simply smarter than Zhuge Liang, I have nothing to add, it's amazing."

Duan Yunong smiled slightly.

"Sir, it's absurd. Since that's the case, let's start to act..."

The entire Duan Mansion is already on standby, and the next one is waiting for Aries to make a move.

The next day, people were in a state of turmoil. They were tense from the early morning until the middle of the night, but nothing happened, and the target didn't show up at all.

At dusk on the third day, in the extremely oppressive atmosphere, a fire suddenly broke out in the house.

A small fire burned a painting in Boss Duan's study: Song Huizong's "Picture of Song and Crane".

After hearing the news, Chen Sheng was a little puzzled.

What is the way of Aries?
At the beginning, the cockfighting and hunting dogs were poisoned to death. According to the logic, the following process should be murder. Why are you burning other people's paintings?
But Duan Yunong was full of worry, as if something terrible had happened.

"My father has always had a wide range of hobbies. Apart from raising live animals, he is also very fond of antique collections."

Chen Sheng said: "And then?"

Duan Yunong said: "This "Picture of Song and Crane" is my father's treasure. I don't allow it to be touched. I wish I could hold it when I sleep. I suddenly suspect that Aries' revenge plan may be... Destroy my father's beloved thing, and force him to death first."

She paused, and then said: "Chickens, dogs, and paintings are all my father's favorite, and they are extremely targeted, so don't let me be careless."

Come to think of it, it's really possible!
The chickens and dogs were so distressed that they vomited blood without the old Duan, and they are still recuperating until now. Wouldn't it be more lethal to burn Song Huizong's paintings?
After talking about his guess, Duan Yunong's eyes darkened.

"And my father's body... In fact, he is already terminally ill, and he can no longer stand the emotional ups and downs."

Chen Sheng was surprised and said, "How could it be? I see that Duan Caishen has a ruddy complexion and a good appetite. How come he is terminally ill?"

Duan Yunong lowered his head: "My father suffers from severe liver disease. He looks tough on the outside, but in fact he is just an empty shell. The doctor said long ago that his lifespan may come to an end at any time. If he is too emotional Excited, or even killed on the spot."

"..."

Chen Sheng was silent for a moment, then said: "Aries will know about your father's condition?"

Duan Yunong said: "My father has been seeking medical advice for many years. His illness is no secret in southern Anhui. If Aries wants to take revenge, he will definitely do a detailed study on our Duan family. Knowing the condition is not surprising."

"The painting was burned..."

"Father lived in a side room for the past two days, and slept in a drowsy state. I didn't dare to tell him."

Chen Sheng wanted Duan Hefei, so he couldn't stand by and watch.

"It can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden forever. If it is what you guessed, we have to guess Aries' next move as soon as possible, and eliminate hidden dangers in advance."

Duan Yunong smiled bitterly: "Aries is in the dark, and his actions are elusive, how can we guess?"

Chen Sheng patted her on the shoulder and encouraged: "My dear brother, think about it carefully, and you must think of something that your father likes, values, and cannot do without. Aries will definitely focus on this thing." Started."

Duan Yunong paced back and forth, thinking hard, walking over and over again.

She stopped suddenly and exclaimed: "Oh no, Lao Wang is in danger!"

Chen Sheng quickly asked, "Who is Old Wang?"

"The chef who makes braised pork!"
