Chapter 78 Killing Heart(1/2)
"Which one of you is going to take action?"
Zhao Surui sat high on his horse and looked around.
The group of people who had just scolded Shao Zhiqing with resentment seemed to have been punched in the face by Bing Lingzi, with blue faces and silent throats, but no one could say anything.
Shao Zhiqing, who was kneeling on the ground, smiled sadly: "Last time I hurt Miss Tunan and almost ruined Mrs. Shen's affairs, I am the one who deserves to die. It was Mrs. Shen who spared my life and rewarded me with a bowl of rice because of her kindness. , but I don’t know what to do, and I have betrayed the trust between Mrs. Shen and everyone, which really makes me feel ashamed and regretful. I am very proud to share the same pot with you these days. If we meet again in the next life, we will eat from the same pot again! "
There was still no voice in private.
Zhao Surui sneered: "What? You don't even have the heart to deal with him?"
Tong Jiu, who was in the limelight today because of his persistence in training, held a bowl of meat in his hand and was about to lift it up when his brother Tong Wulao pushed it back like a cat in its mouth.
Zhao Surui looked at Peifeng and saw a handsome young girl dressed as a man kneeling on the ground with a spear on the ground.
He raised his eyebrows and was about to have an attack when he heard someone say: "Girl, I'll do it."
Putting the wooden spoon for dividing meat on the edge of the big pot, holding a rag to wipe his hands, Tunan, who was wearing a short coat, took off his apron and walked through the crowd to Shao Zhiqing's side.
Looking at Tunan, the anger in Zhao Surui's heart subsided slightly: "Tunan, you are always the smartest among the maids."
The plain-looking maid lowered her eyebrows and bowed her body and said, "Don't worry, girl."
Shen Yan had long been frightened by "Big Sister"'s attack and the word "death", and said at a loss: "Big Sister, you, you don't really want to kill someone, do you?"
Zhao Surui was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned around and returned to the village.
As long as there are still people acting like Shao Zhiqing, even if there is no little loser like Shen Yan, there will still be Zhang Yan and Zhao Yan. There is nothing to be afraid of, a loser who can be used as a target. These "people" who want to shake his foundation at every turn are determined to Can't stay.
Seeing someone bringing a stool and putting Shao Zhiqing on it, Tong Jiu asked his brother in a low voice:
"Brother, didn't you say you wanted me to show my face properly so that Mrs. Shen can use me?"
Tong Wu looked at his younger brother who had a stupid look on his head, took out the golden ring he just got and made a gesture:
"Eating meat every meal can buy our lives, and the future of our children can buy our loyalty, benevolence, righteousness and conscience. That's a different price. Do you understand?"
Tong Jiu seemed to understand, but received a headbutt from his brother.
"Master Shao taught us our skills on weekdays, and even protected Zhuangzi with us. You went up and beat him up. What have you become? Don't you see that even Miss Peifeng is unwilling to take action? What are you trying to do?"
The two brothers held bowls full of meat in their hands and walked home in a hurry while talking.
In the room in the main courtyard of Zhuangzi, Zhao Surui slammed the silver rat cloak that he had taken off to the ground.
"Waste! Waste! Waste!"
Shen Sanwei is a waste. Shen Sanwei's cousin is a waste. Shen Sanwei's maid is also a waste! They are all waste!
Outside the door, Ah Chi was kneeling with his head lowered, not daring to say a word.
Zhao Surui glanced through the window and refused to let her get up. He picked up the teapot on the table and found there was no water in it. He raised his hand and was about to smash the teapot to the ground.
"Young lady, if you smash the kettle, you won't be able to drink water."
Liu Tianxing stood at the door holding a copper kettle and looking around, with a smile on her face.
Zhao Surui put the kettle back on the table with a bang and stared at the little girl wearing a water-red coat:
"What are you here for?"
"I'm here to take care of the young lady. Hehehe, young lady, please don't be angry... If you get too angry, you won't have the appetite to eat."
Zhao Surui didn't change his clothes, he just sat down on the desk chair and watched Liu Tianxing pouring water into his kettle. After all, this little girl also had a background of serving people. Although she was stupid, she was also neat at serving tea and pouring water.
.
"You just let me drink plain water?"
"Then, I'll bring you some tea." As she said this, Liu Tianxing began to study the bottles and cans on the shelf.
"This is an orchid... Young Madam, do you drink orchid tea?"
Zhao Surui rolled his eyes: "That's flower dew, not for drinking."
"Oh." Liu Tianxing stood on tiptoe and put the toilet bottle back, "Then this jasmine..."
Putting his hands on his cheeks, he could see Ah Chi kneeling outside the window in a blink of an eye. Zhao Surui raised his hand and knocked off the fork holding the window.
The window fell and the room suddenly became dark. He turned to look at Liu Tianxing, who was still stealing oil like a mouse:
"Stop pretending in front of me. You are pretending to be a cat here just because you want to speak for Achi."
Liu Tianxing shrunk her little hands and turned back from the shelf, with a forced smile on her face and said: "Young madam, she didn't fail to do the things you gave to Miss Achi before. She really can't do it this time.
Got it."
"I don't understand? I have to rely on my master to teach me when I'm a slave. I've just been away for two days and I've been able to let others control my territory. If I'd been out for a few more days, the whole village would have been long gone.
The master has changed! If I were in Xie's house before, and I wasn't in the yard giving orders, would she, Ah Chi, have listened to everything?"
Zhao Surui sneered: "Ah Chi would never be so stupid at that time, right?"
Liu Tianxing grabbed her horse-faced skirt and lowered her head.
Zhao Surui said to himself: "Of course not at that time! Because Achi will not treat the Xie family as her master. She knows what those people are planning and want, and she has to guard her girl!
By chance, she saw a man named Shen in this village and didn't understand anything. Do you think I punished her wrongly?"
"In the past when she was at the Xie family, she felt that she was surrounded by enemies, but now she is not at the Xie family after all. She feels that it is not important to ask Young Master Shen to say a few words, because if Young Master Shen can say it, so can you.
. Everyone in Zhuangzi knows that the person who really has the final say is the mighty and domineering Mrs. Shen. The reason why Shao Zhiqing and others are willing to coax Young Master Shen is because he is your cousin. It’s like we were competing for favor in the Xie family in the past.
Whether the dish is hot or cold, whether a snack contains chestnuts or jujube puree, Xia He can get angry with Cui Jinniang and others. I am frightened by them. Young Madam, you tell me that they are just a plate of snacks to the Xie family.
, fighting over and over is just to make other people's food taste more delicious. In fact, the same goes for Mr. Shen. Others are just trying to please you. In the final analysis, you are the master, and everyone else is a snack with different fillings.
.”
The little girl seemed a little hungry as she spoke, and her eyes drifted towards the snack plates on the table.
Zhao Surui raised his eyes to look at her and saw her eyeballs floating out.
"If you want to eat snacks, just take them and eat them."
The wise and powerful Emperor Zhao De felt better after being coaxed by this silly girl for so long.
Holding two pieces of snacks, Liu Tianxing said with a smile: "It's enough for me to eat two pieces of snacks. Young Madam, you rewarded us with so much meat. Sister An and Xia He agreed to bake a few pancakes tonight."
To eat it with meat, I have to save some belly to eat it together."
As soon as she talked about food, Zhao Surui was also hungry and told her: "Go tell Tunan and deal with the person quickly. I want to eat the roast duck I brought back tonight. The duck rack made soup separately."
The roast duck Zhao De Di Ke bought at De Xing Lou is not so easy to forget.
"Roast Duck?"
Liu Tianxing's eyes widened, she stuffed the snacks into her mouth and ran out.
Zhao Surui sat on the chair with his head raised, sat quietly for a moment, then got up from the chair, opened the door and walked out.
Achi was still kneeling on the spot, Zhao Surui just pretended that she was not there, tied the corners of his robe around his waist, and started to move the rocks, again and again.
By the time he finished moving the stones, it was already dark and lights were on everywhere.
Tunan entered the yard holding a lantern in one hand and a food box in the other.
"Girl, dinner is ready."
"Yes." Zhao Surui nodded and let Tunan wipe his hands and face with hot water before sitting down and getting ready to eat.
A roast duck that has been re-splashed with boiling oil, the skin is crispy and tender, a duck rack with cabbage and tofu soup, you can smell a peppery smell when it comes out, and a porridge made of mung beans and wheat grains with some added
Baked bread.
Zhao Surui looked at the porridge for a long time and suddenly smiled:
"Tu Nan, have you dealt with Shao Zhiqing?"
Tunan didn't say a word, put the dishes on the table, closed the food box, took two steps back, and knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Girl, Shao Zhiqing's crime will not lead to death. One of the reasons is that the girl has taught the slaves that they must not be executed without teaching. The other two reasons are that the slaves cannot do it."
"You can resist my life even if you can't do it?"
Tunan knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said, "This slave is willing to be punished by the girl."
Zhao Surui was so angry that he laughed back, and the anger that had finally calmed down was ignited again:
"Are you willing to be punished? Who do you think you are?!"
Swinging a full jar of mung bean porridge to the ground, Zhao Surui stood up and almost kicked Tunan with his foot. He raised his foot and put it down again:
"Tu Nan! Don't you understand if Achi doesn't understand? If... if your girl is not a woman! Even if you give Shao Zhiqing 800 courages, he won't dare to listen to that little loser Shen Yan giving orders! But he did it by accident!
His heart should be punished!"
The hot porridge is steaming on the ground.
Tunan still lowered her head, her voice was steady, and in the fragrance of mung beans and wheat, there was a heat that was not part of winter:
"I know that this slave girl is extremely smart and intelligent, and there are countless ways to prevent Shao Zhiqing from having such thoughts... But you have never done this, miss.
"Shao Zhiqing's mistake today is because of you. You waited for Shao Zhiqing's mistake before you could have the opportunity to warn everyone with human blood. Even though you are a woman, you must not take it lightly.
