"Really, really chop it?"
Xinggong Inner Garden, cat and dog room.
Several servants worked together to carry the dead body over. Zheng Qiao is violent, murders frequently, and the servants in the palace are replaced frequently. Several people are not very old, and they were born in poverty. They cut off their evil roots to serve others in order to have a bite of food.
They have also heard of Yan'an's reputation.
At first, he hated this son for helping the evildoers, but when he saw that there were only a few people in the whole court, only a few people sincerely worked for the common people, so they realized the misunderstanding. If Mr. Wuyan persisted, the snow disaster in the past two years alone would add tens of thousands of lonely souls to the world.
Some of them also indirectly received the favor of the banquet. It is really unbearable for them to raise their knives and cut up the benefactor's corpse to feed them to these wild little animals in the cat and dog room. But if they don't do this, if the tyrant finds out that they disobeyed the king's orders, their fate will be tens of thousands of times worse than Yan'an. For a moment, everyone hesitated and struggled, and no one dared to speak.
"Or—burn it?"
One person proposed abruptly.
"Burned?"
Everyone was intimidated by this suggestion.
This is frustrating!
The servant on duty in the cat and dog room said in a low voice: "Let's... Let's say that these little beasts are full, picky, and are not interested in human flesh for a while, I am afraid that the human flesh will rot and damage the stomachs of our little ancestors Just throwing these human flesh into the stove and burning it...burning it and turning it into ashes is better than entering the belly of those little beasts and entering the cycle of five grains, right?"
Everyone: "..."
This seems to make sense, and while both approaches are extreme, the lesser evil is the lesser of two evils.
If burned to ashes, animal bones can also be used to intercede.
If the tyrant thinks of wanting to spread the ashes of his brother for fun one day, they will be easy to deal with, the risk is less than disobedience, and they can soothe their conscience. After thinking for a moment, people agreed one after another. However, this matter should be done a little more secretly.
These servants are the most humble existence in the palace, no one cares about what they do, Zheng Qiao's assassination caused chaos in the palace all night, and they actually asked them to take advantage of the loophole to complete the matter. If it wasn't for worrying about getting angry, they would also like to set up a tablet of "the seat of the banquet". The sky was getting brighter, and the palace was not an iron bucket. The news quickly spread to every household.
Reactions from those who heard the news were mixed.
Some are indifferent, some are heartbroken, some are laughing, some are ridiculed, and some are sad when a rabbit dies and a fox is sad. Feeling the darkness of the world, they have the idea of hanging their seals and abandoning their officials to go back to the mountains and forests. No matter what state of mind they were in, their fear of Zheng Qiao was at its peak.
Ruthless!
Too ruthless!
Treating his senior brother so sincerely was also forced by his atrocities to assassinate him. Although Yan'an's betrayal was wrong, but it was the utmost kindness to Zheng Qiao. Even if he thought about the friendship between classmates in the past, he should leave a whole body for him. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly let him chop it up and feed it to the dog!
Such a tyrant, it is better to go back early.
It spread to the border of Qianzhou in just three or four days.
It is wrong to say that it is a boundary.
It will take more than half a day to really get out of Qianzhou.
A dirty family of three is sitting in a tea shop beside the official road to rest. The woman in the Jingchai sarong looks haggard and weak, with a sallow complexion, one can tell at a glance that she is just recovering from a serious illness or suffering from a serious illness. The boy on one side was also disheveled, with dozens of patches on his Gebu shirt, exuding an inexplicable stench all over his body. Among the three, only the girl was clean and decent.
"Aniang, eat something..."
The girl looked up at the woman.
Youth: "Aniang has no appetite now, you should eat more, don't yell that you are hungry again halfway, it is not easy to solve."
As he spoke, he tore open a small piece of pancake.
Break it apart and find that there is actually minced meat in the pancake.
The boy was taken aback.
Looking up at the shopkeeper of the tea shop, the latter smiled honestly, and the young man understood it instantly. Reluctantly, he took back the protruding broken cake, stuffed it into his mouth, got up and asked the shopkeeper for another one. Shopkeeper: "It's not for you."
She saw that the girl was cute, and saw the appearance of a woman and a young man, so she exchanged a pancake for a moment of pity.
The young man explained in a low voice: "I appreciate the kindness of the shopkeeper. It's just that the child lost his biological father a few days ago..."
The shopkeeper realized that he had done something bad with good intentions after hearing the words, and immediately sighed: "Oh, poor, you are still so young..."
In the current world, when a family loses an adult man, the already difficult life becomes even more difficult.
The shopkeeper hurriedly asked someone to exchange for two vegetarian cakes.
The boy hurriedly expressed his thanks.
At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the tea shop.
Two men dressed as guards came over.
The boy almost threw the pancake out when he saw it.
Hao Xuan held back, lowered his head, and avoided the two guards. He was originally born in the market, even if he lived a life of luxury for a year or two, but some habits that are deeply rooted in the bone marrow are difficult to correct. A Dousheng commoner who is afraid of the guards is played flawlessly, and his expression returns to his original position as usual. Break the vegetarian cake into small pieces, soak it soft and serve it to the girls.
Because the business of the tea shop was still good and the location was tight, the two servants were arranged to sit next to them, which made the boy's heart flutter. But soon, his attention was attracted by the conversation between the two, and they mentioned "Yan'an".
"The tyrant is getting more and more ruthless..." The tall guard drank a bowl of hot orange peel drink.
"...No, he is simply not a human being. He deserves to be betrayed... Is that what the word says? He deserves it!" The short guard responded, "...not even leaving a whole body. This is something a human can do I heard that the person surnamed Yan used to be a peerless scribe of Xin Guo, but now he is... tsk tsk tsk, it is really bad luck for eight lifetimes to have such a junior!"
"Oh, I heard that I should chop it up and feed it to the dog..."
"His wife and daughter seem to have escaped?"
"That's right. Sigh, it would be miserable if you get caught... According to that character, I don't know how to humiliate them."
The young man felt a chill all over his body.
It was not because of hearing the news of Yan An's death, but because he was worried that the two people around him would suddenly reveal their identities...
result-
The woman just served tea for a meal.
Just when I lowered my head close to the pottery bowl, there were tears falling silently in the bowl, and the taste of the mouth was extremely bitter.
The girl was ignorant and didn't understand what the next door said.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
The girl looked at him puzzled, waiting to be fed.
The young man came back to his senses and whispered, "It's nothing."
He fidgeted restlessly, and when the food was almost finished, the three of them got up and added some dry food to satisfy their hunger on the way. Under the instructions of the woman, he replaced the original carriage with the old farmer in the village for a dilapidated wooden donkey cart, and built an extremely simple shed to keep out the wind and rain. Despite the bumps, relying on these camouflages, he avoided many searches along the way.
It is still stable for the time being.
It was not until he was far away from the tea shop that the young man heard the woman's restrained weeping behind him, mourning like a lone goose bereaved of a lover. After a long time, the young man asked after his voice faded, "Ma'am, where are we going next? The news about Mr. Yan has spread here, and those who want to come after us are on their way. None of the three of us can beat us. If you catch them, you won't be able to keep a single one alive..."
As he spoke, he heard the terrible sound of hooves.
Can’t—
What did you say?
The boy's heart reached his throat.
