Chapter 36: Heart-to-Heart
In Minghua Garden, the screams were endless.
The servants and slaves in the garden, both men and women, were punished with sixty rods, and the Hou and his men were to be punished.
Zheng Jing sat on the chair under the corridor, with a cold face, under the lamplight, his face looked a little pale, Wen Weng noticed that Zheng Jing's expression was a little strange since Zheng Jing entered the garden, but at this moment, standing next to him, he didn't dare to step forward to persuade half a sentence.
The sound of canes and sticks came and went, and the screams echoed over the courtyard.
On weekdays, Zheng Jing dislikes to hear such a terrible scream, and when he is flogged, either he is not there, and if he is present, he must gag the mouth of the tortured, but today, when Zheng Jing ordered the execution, he not only came to the scene in person, but also specially ordered that no gag should be given.
I don't know how long it was, but a quarter of an hour or half an hour, about half of the servants in the garden had been executed, and half of them were waiting, kneeling on the ground, and trembling.
The smell of blood lingered around him, and it was very strong.
Wen Weng hesitated for a long time, and said slowly: "Da Lang, here will be handed over to Hou Yi to deal with, right now, the most important thing is to discuss, how to find Wulang tomorrow morning, I heard that before going out, Wulang went to Beitangkou, it is better to go to Beitangkou......"
Zheng Jing raised his hand and interrupted Wen Weng's words, "Don't worry, I know where Anu went." ’”
Wen Weng was stunned when he heard this, but since this was the case, why was Zheng Jing's face so bad, he was angry, and when he first entered the garden to order the execution, it was as if he had finally found a gap to vent, but seeing Zheng Jing's impatience, he did not speak again.
The stars have disappeared at some point;
The lights illuminate the courtyard as if it were daytime.
In the midst of a terrible sound, suddenly a servant woman walked in quickly from outside, speaking in a loud voice, but it was still highlighted at once, and it was extremely clear, "Da Lang, ten ladies come here." ”
"What?" Zheng Jing swept his eyes sharply to the servant woman who came in to pay tribute, and saw clearly that it was Hua Yu who was following Zheng Sui's side, so he believed it and got up busily, "When has this been, why did you bring her here?"
Looking at Zheng Jing's hurried back, Wen Weng reached out and stroked his forehead, and couldn't help but rejoice for the servants who were still waiting to be tortured.
As soon as Zheng Jing came out of the gate of the garden, he saw Zheng Sui coming along the bluestone road, followed only by the maid Caifu and the servant Zhang Yu, and frowned, and walked over, "Why did you come here at this time?"
Zheng Sui was almost startled, paused, looked up at the eldest brother standing in front of him, obviously stunned, and Zheng Jing's gaze turned to Cai Fu behind Zheng Sui.
The night breeze is cool, but the picker feels cold and swishing.
It was probably the first time to see Zheng Jing's stern expression, so she couldn't bear it and had to lower her head hurriedly, "The little lady had a nightmare at night, and she couldn't sleep, so she had to come to see Xiaolang to feel at ease, and the maidservant and Concubine Zhang accompanied the little lady to come over." ”
Zheng Sui came back to his senses, and also noticed that the eldest brother's face was very bad, with a gloomy color, which was very similar to the appearance when he was about to beat the fifth brother that time, and he was afraid that he would punish Cai Fu, so he hurriedly said: "I want to come to see my brother." His head was obviously sideways, and he looked behind Zheng Jing, but unfortunately he didn't see the figure of the fifth brother.
There was a lot of anticipation in my eyes.
Zheng Jing shook his head lightly, thinking that the smell of blood in the courtyard was really strong, at this moment, it was not suitable for her to go over, not to mention, the wild slave was not in it now, and the expression on his face was deliberately eased a lot, before he squatted down and held Zheng Sui's arm, "Xixi, it's too late, Brother will send you back to Ning Yuan." ”
I really can't understand it, it's so late, how could Aunt Zu let Zheng Sui out of Guining Courtyard.
"Big brother, I'll go back when I see the fifth brother, okay?" The eyes were like obsidian, black and bright, but at this moment, they were overflowing with pleading, and their delicate faces were floating with a touch of uneasiness.
Zheng Jing stared at Zheng Sui's face, only to feel that the memory buried in the deepest part of his heart was hooked, and his face seemed to coincide, and his mind couldn't help but be in a trance......
And Zheng Sui couldn't wait for the eldest brother to agree, and looked at the eldest brother's somewhat sluggish expression, although his eyes were staring at him, he was a little confused, so he moved his hand and called the eldest brother.
"Xixi, Brother will send you back to Ningyuan. Zheng Jing retracted his distant thoughts, stretched out his hand and picked up Zheng Sui.
Zheng Sui couldn't avoid it, turned his head and saw Minghua Garden in front of him, he couldn't help but be unwilling, and then remembered that dream, how could the eldest brother be in Minghua Garden at this time, and his heart was anxious, "Is Brother not in Minghua Garden, is there something wrong?"
When Zheng Jing heard this, he was shocked, and his voice was almost uncontrollable, "How do you know, who did you listen to?" After speaking, he looked down and saw Zheng Sui's instantly pale face, and immediately regretted it, and hurriedly said: "Anu didn't have an accident, but he left the house today, Xixi can rest assured, Brother Ming'er will get Anu back." The voice was much softer, with a bit of persuasion.
It's just that Zheng Sui's eyes are still involuntarily red, thinking of that nightmare, somehow the nurse and concubine in the dream finally became a brother, and the brother still smiled at her, just laughing and laughing, the blood in her chest flowed, she wanted to rush over, but she couldn't rush over, so she was so anxious that she suddenly woke up.
woke up, she just thought it was a dream, but she couldn't stop thinking and couldn't sleep, so she had to secretly take Cai Fu and Zhang Yu out of Guining Courtyard, and came to see Brother, maybe she could feel at ease when she saw Brother Stay in Minghua Garden safely and soundly, but she didn't expect that Brother was really not in the house.
If Zheng Jing was most afraid of anything in his life, it was probably Xixi's tears, he hadn't forgotten it, how powerful Xixi's crying skills were last time, he couldn't hold it back when he cried, Zheng Jing had to swear and say: "Xixi, the eldest brother assures you that Anu is really fine, he is just out of the mansion for the time being, not in the mansion." ”
"But I just dreamed that something happened to my brother. Zheng Sui's face was full of fear.
As soon as he heard this, Zheng Jing was secretly surprised in his heart, and he was a little worried, but he still had to continue to coax: "Dreams are all reversed, when Anu went out, he also brought ten strong martial arts knights, with them to protect Anu, Anu will definitely not have an accident, Brother Ming'er must find him back, let's go back first, sleep well, and when you wake up, Anu will come back soon." ”
can say such things, Zheng Jing is already patient.
Zheng Sui pursed his lips, crawled steadily in the arms of the eldest brother Zheng Jing, rested his head on the shoulders of the eldest brother Zheng Jing, looked at the back, the eldest brother Zheng Jing held him to leave, the row of walls in Minghua Garden, gradually moved away, and he was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, let me down, I will go by myself." ”
"Hee-hee. Zheng Jing lowered his head and called, looking at Zheng Sui in his arms, with persistence on his face, hesitated, but squatted down and put Zheng Sui on the ground.
However, as soon as he got rid of his hand, Zheng Sui shook off his hand like a wild horse that had escaped and rushed in the direction of Minghua Garden.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Jing hurriedly stretched out his hand, but he didn't catch it, turned his head to look at the direction where Zheng Sui ran, how could he not understand, thinking of the situation in Minghua Garden, how dare he let Zheng Sui in, quickly got up, chased after him, and when Zheng Sui stepped into the door of Minghua Garden with one foot, he reached out and hugged Zheng Sui, "Xixi, Anu is not here, go back with my brother." ”
"I don't believe it, let me in, Brother must be inside. Zheng Sui shook his head violently, staring at the Xiao wall that entered the door, struggling to get rid of Zheng Jing's clamps, and shouted: "Let go of me, let go of my ......" It's just that in the end, the person is small and weak, and he can't resist the strength of the eldest brother Zheng Jing's two hands.
The sudden pain in his wrist made Zheng Jing frown, and just wanted to shake it off, he looked down at Zheng Sui, but changed his mind in an instant, endured the pain and did not let go, but Zheng Sui not only did not let go, but even more deadly, so he had to hurriedly shout and scold: "Xixi, don't make trouble." ”
As soon as the words fell, he was probably frightened, Zheng Sui was relieved, and then he heard a wow, and the cry sounded instantly.
Zheng Jingdeng panicked, didn't care about the pain in his wrist, and held Zheng Sui in his arms, but no matter how he coaxed, Zheng Sui seemed to be unable to hear it at all, and the crying became louder and louder, and finally turned into a cry, tears and snot rubbed against his arms, and the blood that came out of the bite on his wrist was muddy together.
Zheng Jing was at a loss in the end.
Looking at Zheng Sui like this, Zheng Jing guessed that the Li family had not slept yet, so he did not send Zheng Sui back to Ning Garden, but returned to Shouqin Garden.
On the way back, Zheng Sui's crying never stopped, as if he was tireless, and Zheng Jing only felt a headache, secretly thinking, he had never been so wolf in his life.
At this moment, in the dead of night, this cry became louder and louder, and it spread far away, naturally alarming hundreds of people up and down the Zheng Mansion, so that until many years, the brothers and sisters in the family still made fun of Zheng Sui about it.
