Chapter 274: All are old friends

"Yang Yaren!"

Chen Yan smiled indifferently, met his eyes, and slowly spat out three words.

But these three words made the originally satisfied black-clothed leader's face change suddenly, full of astonishment, and he asked in surprise: "You... how do you know?!"

Such a reaction almost confirmed his identity in disguise.

"This Superintendent not only knows it is you, but also knows that Dugu Zhang, Zhao Qingshi, Zhao Tisou, and Gao Jiong are all involved..."

Chen Yan smiled meaningfully, and a series of names were reported.

Having said that, his gaze swept over the few black-clothed men beside Yang Yaren who hadn't spoken yet, and continued: "Several, everyone is an old friend, don't hide your head and show your tail, show yourself and see!"

"Chen Yan, ah Chen Yan, you are really as amazing as ever!"

Dugu Zhang, who was named, tore off the black cloth covering his face and couldn't help but sigh: "Actually able to judge so accurately..."

Even though the two families were dead enemies whose contradictions could not be reconciled.

But sometimes, Dugu Zhang really admired Chen Yan!

Among those names, not one was reported more, and not one was reported less...

"So amazing, so what?"

Chen Yan wanted to shrug his shoulders, but was tied up by the rope and couldn't move, and said gloomily: "Aren't I still a prisoner of you all?"

Between the lines, there was quite a bit of helplessness of giving up resistance.

"Hahahaha!"

Gao Jiong, who had accumulated deep grievances, laughed extremely wantonly and mocked: "As expected of Superintendent Chen, the Grand Chancellor's number one favorite minister, indeed has self-knowledge!"

Qin Prefecture rebellion, Jing Prefecture bandit suppression, he was a god of war, but so what if he was amazing and glorious?

Wasn't he still honestly tied here, becoming a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?

They could handle him however they wanted!

"Chen Yan, I really want to know, how did you guess Yaren's identity, and how did you guess us so accurately?" Dugu Zhang's face didn't show the slightest pride, pushed Zhao Qingshi away, stared straight at Chen Yan, and asked in a deep voice.

He was truly extremely curious.

Clearly nothing was exposed, and he had always been wrapped in black cloth, where did he get so much information to infer?

"Actually, it's not difficult."

Chen Yan heard this, blinked, pointed at Yang Yaren, and laughed: "Hansi girl called him Young Master Yang, and Yang is not a big surname in Chang'an..."

"Coincidentally, I immediately associated it with the old subordinates of the old Pillar State Dugu. There is only one who has this surname, such a young voice, and can act as a contact for the male and female duo, the identity is self-evident!"

This surname, this age, plus what he did, could it be a concubine's son?

Then it would only be a direct son!

And among those old subordinates surnamed Yang, there was only one who met the conditions...

(Yang Tongxiang)

"Superintendent Chen is truly well-deserved!"

Yang Yaren listened and sighed in admiration, raised his hand and clapped lightly, sighing.

But he laughed more and more proudly.

So what if he was amazing?

Wasn't he still his defeated general?

The stronger Chen Yan's ability was shown, didn't it set off that he was even stronger?

"Amazing!"

Dugu Zhang nodded, sorted out this reasoning logic, and continued to ask: "How did you connect it to us?"

Actually, what Dugu Zhang couldn't understand most was the series of names Chen Yan reported after recognizing Yang Yaren...

Too precise!

Not a bit off.

As if he had opened a heavenly eye...

But if he really had, how could he have fallen to this point?

"Brother Dugu, look at the silver notes in Hansi girl's hand!" Chen Yan smiled lightly, pointed at Yu Hansi, who was holding a thick stack, and said.

"What's wrong with the silver notes?"

Dugu Zhang was puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Is there any problem?"

No matter how he racked his brains, he didn't understand what this meant...

They were all issued by the money shop, and had no relationship with their identities at all!

"The silver notes are not a problem..."

Chen Yan didn't sell the pass, smiled playfully, and said: "But relying on Yang Yaren alone, he couldn't take out such a quantity of silver notes!"

"It must be pieced together by many people!"

"The scattered denominations are the evidence!"

When Yang Yaren took out the silver notes, Chen Yan observed very carefully...

There was no 10,000 tael one, the largest was 5,000 taels, and there were even 1,000 taels and 500 taels.

So it was a big stack, making Yu Hansi count for a long time.

It wasn't that Chen Yan was arrogant and looked down on Yang Yaren, but in the vast Chang'an, besides him, among the younger generation, how many could take out 50,000 taels without blinking?

Not to mention 50,000 taels, even 30,000 taels or 10,000 taels were difficult...

Dugu Zhang heard this, suddenly realized, and said: "And those who are on good terms with Yaren and can provide silver notes are just us few..."

"It can be basically determined here!"

Being on good terms was one aspect, they also had a common point...

Grievances with him!

The scope was suddenly locked!

"Exactly."

Chen Yan nodded, his gaze fell on one of the black-clothed men, and he said playfully: "Among these silver notes, Young Master Gao Jiong alone probably contributed quite a lot, right?"

Why could Chen Yan be so sure?

Because this one had a grudge against him that was not ordinary!

If he caught a chance to kill him, he would absolutely not let it go...

"Right!"

Gao Jiong's eyes were ruthless, and he gave a positive answer with a cold sneer: "Superintendent Chen, you are very right!"

He, Gao Jiong, not only emptied his private money but also borrowed quite a bit to make up 10,000 taels.

Zhao Tisou's mouth curled into a curve, looking at Chen Yan, who was talking and laughing and didn't look like a prisoner at all, and said sarcastically: "I have to say, Chen Yan, your attitude of not being chaotic in the face of danger is truly admirable..."

"It's come to this step, and you can still talk eloquently!"

Chen Yan raised his eyes, looked at these two familiar faces, and laughed: "Two Young Masters Zhao, it's been a long time!"

"Since the last parting, it's been several months, right?"

Thinking back to the last meeting, it had to be traced back to before the Jing Prefecture bandit suppression...

If it weren't for the assistance of these two hot-headed fools leading people to attack the Mingjing Si, it wouldn't have been so easy to take down the gambling industry in Chang'an!

"Chen Yan, you didn't expect that there would be a day when you fell into our hands, right?"

Zhao Qingshi gritted his teeth and shouted sternly: "Do you have any favorite way to die?"

Since the grandfather rescued them from the Mingjing Si, they had been under strict discipline, and even their freedom was restricted...

That breath had always been held in his heart.

Everything was brought by this bastard who was tied up in front of him!

"It seems that you have already prepared a way to die for this Superintendent?"

Chen Yan smiled indifferently, asked with great interest: "Might as well say it and listen!"

"Isn't your Mingjing Si famous for cruel punishments?"

The muscles on both sides of Zhao Qingshi's nose tightened suddenly, his jawline tightened into a cold, hard fold, but the corners of his mouth hooked a very faint curve, and that smile didn't have half a temperature.

Instead, it was like the accumulation of power before a poisonous

He paused, then continued: "I have specially invited a master skilled in slicing flesh for you, and I have also prepared ginseng soup for you. I will not let you die until you have been sliced ten thousand times!"

This was the method they had all discussed, unanimously agreed upon, and selected.

They had to make Chen Yan wish he were dead, to torture him severely...

Only then could they vent the hatred in their hearts!

"Such a wonderful way to die, why don't you all enjoy it together with Chief Chen?"

Just at this moment, a voice drifted out from the deep shadows of the ruined temple, sounding very eerie and mocking.

"What sound is that?!"

"Who is it!?"

Including Yu Hansi, the group of people surrounding Chen Yan all felt their scalps go numb and their hair stand on end, looking vigilantly toward the source of the voice.

They had not expected that there were actually other people here?

In the darkness of the ruined temple, that voice came again like a ghost, answering their question:

"The oriole that comes after the mantis catches the cicada!"
