Chapter 22: The Great Gift
"He grew up under the watchful eye of his eldest brother since he was a child, and he never even stepped on an ant since he was a child, how could he do something poisonous? Or poisoned his most respected uncle. Qin Xiang, the mother of Wang Zhen, couldn't hold back anymore and stood up to speak for her child.
Presumably, it is the instinct of every mother to protect her children.
"How do you know that he hasn't even stepped on an ant to death, how many insects and ants are in southern Xinjiang, and who knows how many can be trampled to death with one foot?" The head of the Wang family sneered.
Again, he said as if he was extremely tired: "Brother and sister, you are right, after all, Wang Zhen was raised by me since I was a child." I also have a share of responsibility for what he is wrong. ”
The head of the Wang family retreated and said: "If I am just his uncle, I can not pursue it." ”
Qin Xiang was overjoyed, but before the smile could disperse, it froze on his face.
"But I am still the head of the Wang family, if I don't pursue it, if there is another thing to poison the head of the family in the future, will it be investigated or not?"
"So you can't set a precedent."
A struggling expression appeared on the face of the head of the Wang family, as if he was trying to endure all his unbearability, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "Come on, put the king in the firewood room, and wait for the delivery!" ”
The matter of the Wang hostage was originally their fault, and without any evidence, they could not question the decision of the Wang family master this time.
Otherwise, a hat that has been plotting to kill the head of the family for a long time will be buttoned up, and Wang Zhen will really be hopeless.
"Father save me! Mother save me! Wang Zhen struggled.
They watched Wang Zhen being dragged down by the guards, and Qin Xiang couldn't help but tears in his eyes, and his heart ached.
Wang Zhen was locked up in the firewood room, not running out of water, and in the middle of the night, he was already hungry.
Avoiding guards is the best thing, Jing Mu is the best, Jing Mu is dressed in a wide black robe, which is already integrated with the night, plus he already knows the way of the Wang family to change guards in advance. Therefore, it was effortless to come to the firewood room where the king's hostages were held.
Jing Mu skillfully picked the lock, and looked at Wang Qian, who had become very depressed after not seeing him for a few days, and couldn't help but sigh a little.
Jing Mu handed him a bag of steamed buns, squatted down and said, "Is the son okay?" ”
Wang Zhen recognized Jing Mu as the person who was going to give him a big gift in Huamanlou that day: "Didn't you say that you were going to give me a big gift?" What about the big gifts? ”
"Didn't I already send it?" Jing Mu said lightly.
Wang Zhen looked at the few dry steamed buns in his hand, was very shocked, and said unacceptably: "This is what you call a big gift?" Are you kidding me? ”
"Isn't Childe hungry?" Jing Mu was not angry, but asked lightly.
"What is more important at the moment than filling Childe's belly?" Jing Mu Road.
"Then why don't you buy something delicious, how do you eat this dry thing?" Wang Zhen said with great disgust.
Wang Zhen has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and now being locked up in the firewood room is already the biggest hardship he has suffered in the Wang family over the years.
So he deserves to be disgusted.
"No money." It's already good to be able to buy him a few dried steamed buns, but also delicious? Jing Mu replied crisply.
Although his face was very disgusted, Xu was hungry, and Wang Zhen also ate the dry steamed buns that he disliked very much.
After eating, I realized that not many people should know that he was locked up in the firewood room.
He knew his uncle, who was a man of great face. Regard the family's reputation above all else, and it is impossible to make a big publicity.
"How did you know I was locked up in the firewood room?" The king questioned the doubts in his heart.
"It's spread all over the outside, and the prince of the Wang family, Wang Qian, attempted to poison the head of the family." After squatting for a long time, his legs were a little numb, Jing Mu stood up and walked back and forth.
"How is that possible?" Wang Zhen asked in surprise.
The nephew poisoned the elders, which is a scandal anyway, not to mention that this incident is not real.
Doesn't his uncle want to be famous?
"How could it be?" Jing Mu asked lightly.
"My uncle attaches great importance to the reputation of the family, and it is impossible not to control the spread of this kind of thing." Although Wang Zhen only asked about family affairs, he was familiar with it after all.
No matter how straw you are, no matter how much you don't learn and don't know anything, you still know a lot of things that you should know.
"What if he can't control the gossip?"
"How is that possible?"
"Is the Wang family very powerful? But it's just a small family? How can you expect it to cover the sky with one hand in this southern city? Jing Mu smiled lowly.
With the firewood room where only the cold moonlight shines in, the king is terrified to hear.
"Since Childe doesn't look down on the Wang family, why did he say he wanted to help me before?" Wang asked sharply, very scared.
"Because Childe has enough straw bales." Jing Mu ignored Wang Qian's anger: "You have enough straw bales to show my talent." ”
"If not, what shall I do?" Jing Mu smiled lowly.
"I want to be famous in the southern Xinjiang city."
"You're using me as a springboard?"
"Childe still likes my gift to Childe?" Jing Mu did not answer Wang Qian's words, but asked the topic again again.
Wang Zhen looked at the oil paper that was still beside him, and suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart.
He looked up at Jing Mu in disbelief: "Uncle's poison was caused by you?" ”
Gift?
Only then did Wang Zhen react that the big gift that Jing Mu said in his mouth may not be the big gift he understood.
Or maybe the gift he said wasn't necessarily good.
And in recent days, there is only one major event that can be called a change for him.
"It's not too stupid to be hopeless."
This is an admission in disguise.
"How can you do that? Frame me! Wang Zhen stood up violently, holding Jing Mu's collar and shouted.
Jing Mu still had that calm voice: "Only by knocking Gongzi to hell, and then I will lift Gongzi to the commanding heights, can I best show my ability." ”
"I'm not a saint, there's no reason for you to take all the benefits, but I haven't got anything."
"Why are you so vicious?" Wang Zhen trembled all over, and his teeth trembled.
Jing Mu broke Wang Qian's hand holding his collar little by little, and said lightly: "I want to kill someone, but Gongzi is powerless to resist." ”
"I've worked hard to get a good identity for myself, and I have to spare my life, right?" Jing Mu's words were very gentle, as if he was coaxing a child.
Jing Mu looked at Wang Qian, who was slacking off a little, and was very satisfied.
Where in this world are there people who don't put themselves first?
"Will you still help me?" Wang Zhen suddenly understood that this person who terrified him and grabbed his handle was probably his only lifeline.
"Naturally, it will help." Jing Mu looked at himself and said lightly.
"How did you poison Uncle?" Wang Zhen held his head, puzzled.
The Wang family is a family, although it is not big, but the head of the family has suffered many dangers.
On weekdays, there will be special people to check for meals, and everyone says that he gave the poison.
Indeed, the bowl of poisonous soup was touched by no one but him.
So, how did he poison him unconsciously?
It was also logically pushed on him.
Let him be indefensible.
"Naturally, you poisoned it." Jing Mu said lightly.
"Impossible!" Wang Zhen is categorical.
"Do you remember the incense I used to dye in the private room the day I saw you?" Having said all that, Jing Mu didn't mind solving his doubts again.
"Poison in the incense?" Wang Zhen's face turned pale.
"The incense is naturally non-toxic, but it adds some ingredients that happen to match the soup you serve." Jing Mu paused: "That incense has been transformed by me, and it is extremely dependent. ”
"The soup is infused with this fragrance, which is non-toxic and poisonous, and it will not be detected until two hours later, and there are symptoms of poisoning." Jing Mu explained.
"What if I don't have soup that day? Or is the soup served not matching the fragrance? Wang Zhen only felt that his body was cold, and he was cold.
"Then there is another way." Jing Mu said indifferently.
In terms of poisoning, who can compare to the Yu family?
Over the years, Jing Mu has also learned.
"All in all, my poisoning of the head of the family will definitely happen, right?"
"And it will spread throughout the southern Xinjiang city." Jing Mu added.
Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.
Because it will be afraid.
Wang Zhen felt that his scalp was numb at a glance when he looked at Jing Mu, such a vicious person, why hadn't he heard of it before.
Shouldn't he have a name?
"Don't be afraid, I'm still very gentle with my own people." Probably realizing that he might have scared people, Jing Mu lowered his voice and reassured.
The method of beating a stick to give a sweet date, Jing Mu is handy.
No guilt.
"Can I refuse to cooperate with you?" It's horrible! Wang Zhen's heart was a little broken.
"Then tomorrow's after-dinner conversation among the people in Nanjiang City is probably that the king of the Wang family committed suicide in fear of crime."
"After all, a dead man's mouth is the most reliable, isn't it?" Jing Mu asked lightly, no joy or sorrow.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Just don't do it." Jing Mu's eyes were cold: "Kill him!" ”
Who is he?
Wang Zhen rarely understood Jing Mu's words when no one gave him a clear explanation.
"He's my uncle!"
"Do you really think of him as an uncle?" Jing Mu sneered: "If you really regard him as an uncle, you shouldn't have been bouncing around outside when his only son was just mourning, and now there is another poisoning incident, and he is afraid that he hates you now." ”
"My cousin is dead, and the position of the heir of the head of the family is vacant, shouldn't I rob it?"
What does it mean to be brainless?
It's brainless.
Jing Mu didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and said directly: "He dies or you die, choose one." ”
Wang Zhen was silent for a while and said, "What should I do?" ”
People are sometimes so lowly that they can do anything in order to survive.
"I'll talk about it when you're out." I haven't gone out yet, and I'm still going to talk about it later.
"Will you save me?"
"No, it won't." Jing Mu said lightly: "Although you are not important, I always have to look at your qualifications, if it is a dou who can't be supported, it will hurt me, and I will naturally change people." ”
"After all, I'm not just a childe."
"And Childe only has me a choice!"
