Chapter 57: Punishment
Not only is the color no longer visible, but as soon as he picks it up, it drips blood, and it also emits a strange smell of blood mixed with earth, just taking a breath, Lin Zhong is going to doubt life.
But the princess had already ordered the recycling, and Lin Zhong couldn't help but do it, so a group of guards, holding a rag very neatly, stretched out their arms, turned their faces to hold their breath, and moved to the place designated by Lin Zhong with difficulty step by step, quickly threw down the rag and turned around and ran, as if they were afraid of contracting some plague.
Lin Zhong had calmed down after the eighth person passed, and he didn't forget to remind everyone in a friendly way while covering his nose with one hand.
"Come and come and line up, don't fight, don't grab, it's hard to clean up, if anyone accidentally dirties the freshly cleaned ground, I'll punish him for licking it clean!"
As soon as these words came out, the guards who were still holding the rag shook their brushes together, and the movements of their hands became lighter, holding a rag as if they were holding the jade seal of the country.
Zhao Dakuan, who had just been escorted to the new courtyard: "......" What are they doing, why is there such a heavy smell of blood?
The escort guard obviously noticed the problem as well, and covered his nose with his sleeve, grabbed a person and asked.
"Hey, what's going on?"
The person who was asked sighed, "Alas, don't mention it, it's not the princess yet, the prince has already said that he will be in charge, and the princess has to solve it herself, isn't this going to be like this?" ”
Settle? Zhao Dakuan's eyes widened, such a big smell of blood, how many people have been solved, and how did it be solved?
"And what are you doing here?"
The escort guard pointed to a group of strange-looking people over there.
"It's still the princess, I don't know what to think, to collect these bloody things, you say the princess won't have any quirks, right?"
Mannerism! Zhao Dakuan's body trembled, and he suddenly felt that the wound hurt.
"I think so, otherwise how could it be ......"
The two of them made a move, glanced at Zhao Dakuan, who was still thinking nonsense, and showed sympathetic eyes very tacitly.
Zhao Dakuan swallowed his saliva, stretched out a hand with some trembling, and pointed to a bunch of people over there, "Two, will I be ~~" It will also end up like that?
"The princess is back!" I don't know who said a word, interrupting Zhao Dakuan's questioning, a group of guards just finished putting out the rags, and they all turned their heads to look over, only to see Ding Weilan walk in from the door with a calm face, looked at the people who were gathering together, and then waved at them.
Until everyone gathered in front of Ding Weilan, Ding Weilan's calm and somewhat indifferent expression suddenly changed, and his face was replaced with a happy face.
"Brothers, send money!"
As she spoke, Ding Weilan took out a thick stack of paper from her arms and waved it twice in front of everyone.
Yes? What money? Everyone couldn't react for a while, but Ding Weilan had already divided the stack of papers in his hand into several parts and distributed them to everyone's hands.
"Princess, what is this?"
Lin Zhong looked at the things in his hand and was taken aback.
Silver Ticket! The large amount of silver tickets, the kind of one hundred and two, he had several in his hand, and the princess didn't seem to see it, and sent it out as if distributing straw paper, so Lin Zhong hurriedly asked, and suddenly a pie fell from the sky, he was very frightened!
"Labor fees." Ding Weilan's face was reasonable, "You have done so much work, you should pay some labor fees." ”
Lin Zhong turned his head to look at the rags piled up in a hill behind him, and suddenly a strange feeling appeared in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhao Dakuan, who was not far away, was about to suffocate, this woman actually extorted so much money and gave it back to her people equally, how many people did she extort? Wait, that's not the point, the point is, why are there so many blood stains when you have already got the money? Sure enough, even if she received the money, she still didn't show mercy to her subordinates, so this courtyard~~ Is this the place where she transferred to detain the blackmailed people?
No wonder there is such a big smell of blood, maybe how many people have already died here? Then he~~
"Princess, this silver ticket can't be asked for by subordinates, as a subordinate of the princess, doing these things, it is a blessing for the princess to reward her subordinates, but this silver ticket~~ is too big, please take it back."
"Please take it back!" As soon as Lin Zhong's words came out, the rest of the people knelt on the ground in a blink of an eye as if they had turned on some switch.
"Oh, don't be so rigid." In fact, Ding Weilan is not completely selfless in doing this, in the past, Mo Lingfeng asked Lin Zhong and them to come over because he fooled Mo Lingfeng, and she was far away from the emperor in the side courtyard, now that she has moved under Mo Lingfeng's nose, Lin Zhong and they don't seem to need to be by her side anymore, but she wants to continue to live in the palace, and it is really not good to have no one without combat effectiveness around her, so Ding Weilan doesn't feel that she is giving any reward at all, and it is almost the same as a bribe.
Just as he was about to enlighten Lin Zhong, there was a sudden strange scream over there, and when Ding Weilan heard the reputation, he saw Zhao Dakuan take two steps back in horror, holding his head with both hands, as if he had been greatly stimulated, and took several steps back.
"Hey, it's ~~"
There was a loud "bang", and the person had fainted to the ground.
"~~ A tree."
Ding Weilan faintly floated out the remaining words, looking at someone who was already unconscious, but still with a frightened face, he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Who brought him here just now?" ”
"Princess, it's a subordinate." One of the guards raised his hand.
"He's alright?"
"Back to the princess, the doctor has just checked it, and the external injuries are somewhat infected, but there is no major problem, but I was hungry for three days and suddenly ate too much, and I was hungry and full, and my stomach was a little unbearable."
"It's not~~ I'm talking about brains."
“……”
In the end, Ding Weilan didn't ask why, but when the person was hungry for too long and hallucinated, he just asked someone to lock him up, and happily went to divide the money.
What could be happier than silver?
Lin Zhong and the others resolutely refused at first, and resolutely said that as subordinates, they could not accept such a large amount of reward, so Ding Weilan brainwashed Lin Zhong and others, and the effect was quite good, Lin Zhong, who refused at first, later directly pulled out his sword and put it on his neck.
"Princess, if your subordinates say that you can't accept it, you will definitely not do it, if you must accept it, it will put your subordinates in an unkind and unjust situation, and your subordinates can only die to make their will."
...... "Well, you win."
In the end, Ding Weilan could only take a compromise method, saying that because Qingying was about to come back, she wanted to be more or less interesting as a young lady, since everyone had to make a little effort, of course, how to decide for herself.
Lin Zhong said that he understood, and then put the sword back.
Ding Weilan breathed a sigh of relief, in order to prevent any more conversations about human life, he casually explained a few sentences and let everyone disband, until the surroundings were quiet, Ding Weilan realized a problem.
What about Zhuo?
I didn't see him when I just split the money.
This Ah Zhuo went to find Mo Lingfeng on his own initiative, and he would not see anyone again, which was really disobedient.
Ding Weilan frowned, she didn't want to pay attention to him, it was not early, it was time to go back to sleep.
Thinking of sleeping, Ding Weilan was a little irritable, it had been used for a long time to clean the yard, and now there was only a bare bed board in the room, and there was nothing else, how could people sleep?
Ding Weilan sighed resignedly, what else can I do when I come, I can only clean up by myself.
But when Ding Weilan really came to the room, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
She didn't know when her things had been moved into the house, and even the position was the same as when she was in the side courtyard, if it wasn't for the fact that she had just come in from the courtyard and knew that this was Tingyuxuan, she would have wondered if the move was a dream.
Not only that, but the room that has been empty for a long time should not be the slightest bit popular, which will actually reveal obvious warmth, and a few candles are lit inside, which illuminates the room very brightly, and there is a faint fragrance.
Ding Weilan, who was ready to not sleep for half the night, was suddenly stunned.
"Is there anyone in the room?"
Ding Weilan shouted, but no one responded, just the candlelight flickered, reflecting her shadow.
"Strange." Ding Weilan scratched her head, if Lin Zhong did it, this thought is too delicate, right?
Ah Zhuo was glad that he had been assigned a room very close to the princess, and the angle was not bad, looking through the window, if the princess was in any trouble, he would be the first to rush over.
But now~~ Ah Zhuo moved his body with difficulty, he couldn't protect the princess, he could only do what he could, such as ~~ tidy up the room or something.
Seeing that the lights were turned off in the princess's room, Ah Zhuo closed her eyes with satisfaction, the princess will definitely be able to sleep well today.
In Ah Zhuo's thoughts, Ding Weilan lost sleep all night, and she didn't figure out which kind person arranged her so carefully, could it be that Qingying came back?
Without waiting for Ding Weilan to think about it, Mo Lingfeng had already caught the real murderer who had done bad in the courtyard in front of her.
The person who came was a thin little guy, not ugly, but there was always a sense of impatience in his eyes, and when he saw Ding Weilan, he spat directly on the ground.
"Phew, bad luck! Enchantress! ”
Ding Weilan's face turned cold, "Who are you talking about?" ”
"Who else could it be if it wasn't you? It's you who made the chickens and dogs in the palace restless, and you yourself are clean when you die, why do you want to move over to add bad luck to us? ”
"So, you spilled the dog blood in the yard?"
Black dog blood can ward off evil spirits, Ding Weilan has also heard of this statement, but she didn't expect someone to use it on her.
"So what?" The little guy stared at the two eyes, not feeling that he had done anything wrong at all.
"That's your fault." Ding Weilan was completely unaffected by his bad attitude, and gave Lin Zhong a look.
Lin Zhong understood and transported a pile of dirty rags collected yesterday, and suddenly a foul smell began to spread, and even the little guy couldn't help but cover his nose.
"You have to be punished for making mistakes, especially if you are stubborn and unrepentant, it took me and my people a long time yesterday to clean up your mess, and you can't do nothing. Wash these rags, even if I have punished them, I hope you can reflect on yourself in the process of labor. ”
As soon as the words fell, he heard a retching sound next to him, Lin Zhong covered his mouth, his face was a little pale, and some of his bearing capacity was almost holding on to the wall and began to vomit.
The little guy who was named also twitched the corners of his mouth, obviously he didn't expect Ding Weilan to punish him in such a way, he was ready to be beaten and locked up or even sold.
"Let's start now, Azhuo go find him a basin, and remember not to make my yard dirty." Ding Weilan reminded, her smile was a little cold, "I will be angry if I ruin the fruits of my labor." ”
The little guy shook his body for some reason, and felt a little cold inexplicably, and then calmed down, looking at Ah Zhuo, who had already begun to walk back, his eyes widened suddenly, and he scolded hatefully, "Ah Zhuo, you kid actually gave his life to this unlucky woman!" ”
