Chapter Seventy-Eight: Murderous Heart
"Which of you is going to do it?"
Zhao Surui sat tall and immediately looked around.
Just now, he was scolding Shao Zhiqing's group in a resentful tone, as if someone had pounced on him, and no one could speak.
Shao Zhiqing, who was kneeling on the ground, smiled miserably: "Since I hurt Miss Tu Nan last time and almost ruined Shen Niangzi, I am the one who deserves to die, it is Shen Niangzi's kindness that spared my life and rewarded me with a bowl of rice to eat, but I don't know what to do, I have betrayed the trust between Shen Niangzi and everyone, which really makes me ashamed and regretful." These days I am very proud to be in the same pot and stove with you, and when we meet again in the next life, we will eat in the same pot again!"
In private, there is still no voice.
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 insistence on practice, was just about to lift it up with a bowl of meat in his hand, but was pushed back by his brother Tong Wu Lao Mao like a cub.
Zhao Surui looked at Pei Feng, but saw a young girl dressed as a man kneeling on the ground with a spear.
He raised his brow and was about to have a seizure, when he heard someone say, "Girl, let me come."
Putting the wooden spoon that divided the meat on the edge of the cauldron, wiping his hands with a rag in his hand, Tu Nan, who was wearing a short jacket, took off his apron and walked through the crowd to Shao Zhiqing's side.
Looking at Tu Nan, the anger in Zhao Surui's heart decreased slightly: "Tu Nan, you have always been the smartest among several maids."
The mediocre-looking maid lowered her eyebrows, bowed down and said, "Don't worry, girl."
Shen Yan had long been stupefied by the seizure of "Big Sister" and the word "death" just now, and said at a loss, "Big Sister, you, you don't really want to kill, do you?"
Zhao Surui didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and went back to Zhuangzi.
As long as there are people who act like Shao Zhiqing, even if there is no such thing as Shen Yan, there will be Zhang Yan and Zhao Yan and the like, and it is not fearful to be able to be raised as a target waste, and these "people" who want to shake his foundation at every turn will never be kept.
Seeing that someone had brought a stool to put Shao Zhiqing on the shelf, Tong Jiu asked his brother in a low voice:
"Big brother, didn't you say before that I should show my face so that Mrs. Shen can use me?"
Tong Wu looked at his younger brother who was bubbling with stupidity on his head, and took out the golden wrench he had just gotten and compared:
"Eating meat can change our lives, and the future of our children can buy our loyalty, righteousness and conscience, which is another price. You understand?"
Tong Jiu didn't seem to understand, and he was slapped on the head by his brother.
"Master Shao taught us skills on weekdays, and he also protected Zhuangzi with us, you went up and beat us, what are you? Don't you see that even Miss Peifeng doesn't want to do it, what are you going to do?"
The two brothers carried a bowl full of meat in their hands, and as they spoke, they went home.
In the house of the main courtyard of Zhuangzi, Zhao Surui slammed the silver rat that had been taken off to the ground.
"Rubbish! Rubbish! Rubbish!"
Shen Sanru is a waste, Shen Sanwaste's cousin is a waste, and Shen Sanwaste's maid is also a waste! It's all rubbish!
Outside the door, Ah Chi knelt with his head down, not daring to say anything.
Zhao Surui glanced through the window, didn't let her get up, picked up the teapot on the table, but there was no water in it, and he raised his hand to smash the pot on the ground. ….
"Young lady, if you smash the kettle, you won't be able to drink water."
Liu Tianxing stood at the door with a copper kettle and poked her head out, with a smile on her face.
Zhao Surui put the kettle back on the table with a "bang", and glared at the little girl in the aqua red jacket:
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to serve the young lady, hehehe, don't be angry, young lady...... I'm too angry, and I don't have an appetite for food."
Zhao Surui didn't change his clothes, he sat on the chair and watched Liu Tianxing pour water into her kettle, this little girl is also a servant in the end, although she has a stupid brain, the work of serving tea and pouring water is also neat.
"You're going to let me drink plain water?"
"Then, I'll add it to you
Tea." As she spoke, Liu Tianxing began to study the bottles and cans on the shelf.
"This is an orchid...... Young lady, do you drink orchid tea?"
Zhao Surui rolled his eyes: "That's flower dew, not drinking."
"Oh." Liu Tianxing stood on tiptoe and put the bottle back, "Then this jasmine ......"
Holding his hand on his cheek, he could see Ah Chi kneeling outside the window in a blink of an eye, Zhao Surui directly raised his hand and slapped off the fork rod supporting the window.
The window fell, and the room suddenly darkened, and he turned his face to look at Liu Tianxing, who was still stealing oil from the rat:
"Don't pretend in front of me, you're pretending to be a cat and a dog here just to say something for Ah Chi."
Liu Tianxing shrank her two little hands and turned back from the shelf, and said with a forced smile on her face, "Young lady, she didn't do anything wrong with the things you handed over to Miss Ah Chi before, but this time she really doesn't understand."
"Don't understand? For the slave and the maid to keep the right for the master, do you have to rely on the master to teach? I've just been away for two days, and I'll be able to let others call for wind and rain on my territory, and if I had been out for a few more days, this village would have changed masters inside and out! If I had been at Xie's house in the past, and I hadn't been in the courtyard to give orders, she Ah Chi would have listened to everything?"
Zhao Surui sneered: "Ah Chi would never be so stupid at that time, right?"
Liu Tianxing pulled off the horse-faced skirt on her body and lowered her head.
Zhao Surui said to himself, "Of course not! Because Ah Chi will not treat the people of the Xie family as the master, she knows that those people are calculating what they want, and she has to guard it for her girl! When she came to this Zhuangzi, she saw a man surnamed Shen and didn't understand anything. Do you think I made a mistake in punishing her?"
"In the past, when she was in the Xie family, she felt that her eyes were full of enemies, but now she is not in the Xie family after all, she feels that it doesn't matter if she asks Shen Xiaogongzi to say a few words, because Shen Xiaogongzi can say it, and you can too. Zhuangzi knows inside and outside that the person who really counts is the mighty and domineering Shen Niangzi, and the reason why Shao Zhiqing and those people are willing to coax Shen Xiaogongzi is because he is your cousin. It's like in the past, we were competing for favor in the Xie family, whether a dish was hot or cold, whether a snack was filled with chestnuts or jujube paste, Xia He could fight with Cui Jinniang and them, I was scared by them, young lady, you told me that they were just a plate of dim sum for the Xie family, and fighting over them was just to make others eat more deliciously. In fact, Shen Xiaogongzi is the same, others please him, but they just want to please you, in the final analysis, you are the master, and others are all different fillings." ….
The little girl seemed to be a little hungry as she spoke, and her eyes drifted to the snack plate on the table.
Zhao Surui raised his eyes to look at her, and saw her floating eyes.
"If you want to eat the dim sum, take it and eat it."
The wise and martial Emperor Zhaode was coaxed by this stupid girl for so long, and his heart was more comfortable.
Pinching two pieces of dim sum, Liu Tianxing said with a smile: "It's enough for me to eat two pieces of dim sum, young lady, you have rewarded us with so much meat, Sister An and Xia He have decided to cook a few pastries and eat meat in the evening, and I will save some stomach to eat together."
As soon as she said what to eat, Zhao Surui was also hungry and instructed her: "You go and tell Tu Nan, quickly dispose of the people, I will eat the roast duck I brought back at night, and the duck rack will make soup alone."
The roast duck Zhao Dedike bought in Dexing Building is not so easy to forget.
"Roast duck?"
Liu Tianxing's eyes widened, and she stuffed the snack into her mouth and ran out.
Zhao Surui sat on the chair with his head up, sat quietly for a moment, and then got up from the chair and opened the door and walked out.
Ah Chi still knelt in place, Zhao Surui just didn't think of her, tied the corners of his robe around his waist and began to move stones, one trip and another trip.
By the time he had finished moving the stones, it was already dark, and lights were lit everywhere.
Tu Nan entered the courtyard with a lantern in one hand and a food box in the other.
"Girl, dinner is ready."
"Hmm." Zhao Surui nodded, and let Tu Nan wipe his hands and face with hot water before sitting down and preparing to eat.
A roast duck is re-splashed with boiling oil, the skin is crispy and tender, a duck
The soup made with cabbage and tofu on the shelf smells of pepper as soon as it comes out, and there is a porridge made of mung beans and wheat grains and some baked dough cakes.
Zhao Surui looked at the porridge for a while, and suddenly smiled:
"Tu Nan, did you dispose of Shao Zhiqing?"
Tu Nan didn't say anything, put the dishes on the table, lid the food box, and then took two steps back and knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Girl, Shao Zhiqing's sin is not to death, one is also, the girl has taught the slave and maid not to be punished without teaching, and the other is also, therefore, the slave and maid can't do it."
"If you can't do it, you can resist my life?"
Tu Nan knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said, "The slave is willing to be punished by the girl."
Zhao Surui laughed angrily, and the anger that was easy to calm down ignited again:
"Willing to be punished? What kind of thing are you?!"
Swinging a full urn of mung bean porridge to the ground, Zhao Surui stood up and almost kicked Tu Nan with his foot, but his foot was raised and put down:
"Tunan! Ah Chi doesn't understand, don't you understand? If...... If your girl is not a woman! You give Shao Zhiqing 800 guts, he doesn't dare to listen to Shen Yan's little waste to give orders! But he did it! His heart should be punished!"
The hot porridge was steaming on the ground.
Tu Nan still kept her head down, her voice was steady, steaming in the mung bean and wheat fragrance with a heat that did not belong to winter:
"The slave maid knows that the slave maid girl is extremely intelligent, and there are countless ways to make Shao Zhiqing unable to have such thoughts...... But you've never done that, girl.
"Shao Zhiqing's mistake today is what you waited for. You waited for Shao Zhiqing's mistake before you had the opportunity to warn everyone with human blood, although you are a woman, you must not be taken lightly. ….
"In countless ways, you must use human life to make a game, because this is the way to be clean and neat, so that people can be feared, and the slaves and maids know it."
Zhao Surui slowly turned his head and looked at the maid lying on the ground.
She is really ordinary in life, not to mention compared with Ah Chi and Pei Feng, even compared with other little maids, she really can't see anything outstanding.
But at this moment, she made Zhao Surui, who had been the emperor for several years, suddenly have a strange feeling.
This feeling is familiar, because Zhao Surui has often had it in the past few years.
It's a ...... When Zhao Surui faced Li Congyuan, Chu Jiyuan, Shi Wence, and Chen Shouzhang...... Even when Shen Sanru is wasted, he will feel spontaneous.
The whole world is mine, why can you give birth to such bones, and rebel against me again and again in my world?
Obviously, my joy and anger can determine your life and death, so why do you have to do what you think?
"Tunan! You're just a maid! You think you've seen through me? Do you think that if you say these words, I will be able to spare you and spare Shao Zhiqing?"
Tu Nan didn't move: "Girl, the slave and maid just did what the slave and maid wanted to do, and said what the slave and maid wanted to say, as for the result, let the girl deal with it."
"Good! Good! You...... You...... Very good!"
Zhao Surui raised his hand and picked up a short knife hanging on the wall:
"Do you think I can't deal with Shao Zhiqing without you, a maid?"
Tu Nan still knelt on the ground and did not move, but he had faintly blocked Zhao Surui's way out.
Just when Zhao Surui was angry, a voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
"Your Majesty is ...... today The murderous intent is monstrous."
It's been three days since the last "heart-to-heart", and at this time, it's the second watch.
