Chapter 266 The Sinner’s Daughter 14
Haha, I must praise him. Zhang Zhong immediately clasped his fists and said with loyalty and impassionedness: "I am willing to work hard to serve you."
"Hmm~" Xu Mian made a long nasal sound: "We need to take better care of ourselves and find some way to get some meat and potatoes tomorrow."
Zhang Zhong......
...I'll kill the chickens in the yard tomorrow.
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Zhong quickly accepted the order with his fists clasped.
After eating, it was almost evening. Zhang Zhong brought some straw for the fire and spread it in the corner of the house, then put a sheet on it: "I'm sorry to ask Miss Gu to stay here tonight."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Xining saluted and thanked him.
"I'll be guarding the door. Call out if necessary." Zhang Zhong glanced at Xu Mian, and saw that it was Xu Mian who seemed tired and had drooped eyelids, but the corners of his mouth were turned down, and his face was elongated.
Now that men and women live in the same room, aren't you satisfied, Mr. Tongzhi? Is it possible that it needs to be put on the bed so that the two of them can sleep together?
If you really send her there, you might still be dissatisfied. The injuries on your body are so severe that you can't move at will. What do you want to do if you send a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as a flower?
Zhang Zhong felt that Mr. Zhitong was really difficult to serve. He turned over and over again in ecstasy, not knowing whether what he was doing was right or wrong. It would be better to interrogate the prisoner, scald him with red-hot iron pliers, shower him with cold water after he faints, and when he wakes up, he will basically be tortured. Simple, effective and less hassle!
Xining could only undress and lie down on the haystack nearby.
After a while, Xu Mian moved slightly, as if he was about to get up, but finally gave up and shouted: "Zhang Zhong!"
The door was opened immediately, and Zhang Zhong stood at the door with his head lowered and fists in his hands: "Sir!" as if he didn't dare to look up.
He didn't do anything, and there was nothing he could do with his current body. Xu Mian exhaled a depressed air from his nose and said leisurely: "Come in and help me go to the toilet."
Oh, go to the toilet! After Zhang Zhong came in, he couldn't help but glance at Miss Gu who was sleeping on the haystack nearby.
Is the hay pile farther away from the bed?
As soon as his eyes came back, he saw Xu Mian's gloomy face.
Xu Mian: What are you looking at?
After going outside to relieve himself, when he came back, he looked at Zhang Zhong who was supporting him and said something: "Zhang Zhong, remember you haven't gotten married yet, right?"
Zhang Zhong replied: "Yes, sir."
Xu Mian: "You should be twenty-one already."
Zhang Zhong: "Your Excellency, you remember correctly, I am 21 this year."
Zeng Chao, who got engaged and married at the age of fourteen or fifteen at the age of twenty-one, and married at a later age before becoming relatives at the age of eighteen or nineteen, is already a late marriage among the late marriages.
But whoever dares to marry Jin Yiwei and propose marriage will often get angry but dare not speak out. A few days later, the young lady who proposed the marriage either contracted an illness, or was unable to keep up the eight poles, but became the filial piety of "adopted mother and adopted father", and rejected the marriage for various reasons.
Unless you really fall in love with her, even if you are sick and keep your filial piety, as long as you don't die, you must marry her. Otherwise, no one wants to touch this piece of shit!
Of course, there are also officials who are in favor of the Jinyiwei. In order to avoid suspicion, they often think carefully before asking their superiors.
When Mr. Tongzhi mentioned this matter now, it would definitely not be because of his age and the fact that he was not yet married. It seems that I just watched something I shouldn’t have watched...
Xu Mian said with a bit of indifference, but not much gloominess: "When you go back, if there is anyone you like, tell me, I will make the decision for you. If not, I will point out one for you."
Sure enough, I looked at something I shouldn't have looked at, just for a glance, with no other intention, sir!
Zhang Zhong was about to cry but had no tears, so he tried his best to pretend to be respectful and joyful without being too revealing: "Thank you, sir!"
This time when he went back, he promised to take the initiative and stay in Beizhen Fusi to interrogate the prisoners and not go out.
After returning, he helped Xu Mian lie down, covered him with a quilt, and Zhang Zhong withdrew.
Xining was disturbed by this and woke up in a daze. The room was quiet, and Xu Mian could be heard breathing heavily and unevenly, so he got up, went to light the candle on the table, and then walked to the square stool next to the bed and sat down. He reached out and touched Xu Mian's forehead. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever. Commander Zhitong, who was finally rescued, is very valuable. He must not die!
Xu Mian slowly opened his eyes, and his sinister gaze like an eagle or wolf seemed to soften a lot under the candlelight.
"My lord, are you awake?" Xining asked, "Does the wound hurt?"
Xu Mian looked at her and said seriously: "It hurts!"
Unexpectedly, this was the answer she got. Xining was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he murmured, not knowing what he was saying: "Of course it hurts for such a long and deep wound. Once it becomes numb, it won't hurt anymore."
"Yeah~" Xu Mian responded.
Why does it feel a little weird? At this moment, I felt that I was not facing the Jin Yiwei who made everyone, even the officials in the court, tremble with fear and panic all day long.
Maybe he lost a lot of blood after being injured, so he was a little weak.
Xining said softly: "My lord, it's better to go to bed early. It won't hurt when you fall asleep."
"Yeah~" Xu Mian responded again, and actually closed his eyes and really fell asleep.
The corners of Xining's mouth twitched slightly. He stood up to blow out the candles, returned to his haystack, covered himself with a quilt and continued to sleep. I was so tired that I fell asleep quickly.
"Creak~" The wooden door was pushed open, and there was a low groan. Xining woke up with a start and saw Zhang Zhong pushing open the door and walking in, holding a large pottery basin in both hands.
The light from outside shone into the house. It was a sunny day today, and it was already three o'clock in the morning when I slept.
Xu Mian leaned against it, with some thick clothing cushioned behind him to support his body. As if with ridicule: "Miss Gu is indeed sleeping very deeply."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Xining accepted. If she didn't sleep deeply, how could Old Mrs. Gu entrust her with a dream?
Her nose twitched and she smelled a scent: "What does it smell like?"
Zhang Zhong put the pottery basin on the table: "Chicken soup."
Xining stood up and walked to the table, wow, what an original native hen. You can see the yellow oil floating on it, and the fragrance keeps getting into your nose.
Zhang Zhong asked: "Can Master Tongzhi use chicken?"
The farmer who was tied up next to the firewood pile almost cried because the chicken was almost ready to lay eggs and ended up boiling. What official family? Robbers, bandits!
Xi Ning replied: "Chicken is fat, preferably pork, but in this place, it would be nice to have meat. Adults have lost a lot of blood. Eat a little to replenish your strength first, and then recuperate after you return."
Zhang Zhong thought for a while: "Is human flesh a hair thing?"
Xining...
After regaining consciousness, he quickly said: "I don't know about this, but for the sake of adults' appetite, let it go."
For those of you who don't like it, every torture instrument in the prison was soaked in human blood. There were blood stains everywhere on the floor and walls. Sometimes the interrogation lasted for several days and nights, including eating, drinking, and sleeping. Next to him was a prisoner who was covered in blood and without even a piece of skin, screaming in agony. He hurriedly grabbed a few bites of food. Miss Gu really doesn’t understand Jin Yiwei!
Zhang Zhong opened his mouth and smiled, showing his white teeth: "It's an advantage for him."
Seeing this made Xi Ning tremble!
"A sneeze~" The farmer sneezed, but he didn't know that he had just escaped death.
