Chapter 316: Arson
Di Ying: "......"
He glanced at Li Zhen deeply and retreated silently.
Returning to the official room of the Assassin's Mansion, Di Ying looked out the window and did not return to his senses for a long time.
Peng Liang made tea back and forth a few times, and when he saw that the adults didn't move, he couldn't help it, so he asked out loud: "Since he is bent on death, why do you risk saving him?" β
Di Ying was pulled back to her senses by this sentence.
But the gaze still hasn't been retracted.
He pointed to the dead leaves outside the window that were blown by the cold wind, and replied, "It is not a pity that a tree with insects has fallen. What I regret is ...... The branches and leaves of the tree will suffer from the fish in the pond. β
Di Ying really didn't understand, why did Li Zhen, who knew that her every move was being monitored, dare to rebel?
The matter is not confidential and has been leaked. Flatterers, all of whom are rootless, will sell them at any time. Li Zhen is really a civil and military all-rounder, why is her eyes blind? Is the mind blind too?
Li Zhen himself is dead, and it is enough to be beheaded all over the house, but because of this, how many people will go in, Di Ying doesn't even dare to think about it.
And His Majesty didn't send him Di Ying to stop him, but let him follow the bad luck together.
Because of the previous affairs on the rivers and lakes, he Di Ying did not handle it according to His Majesty's wishes.
Although he killed Wu Congshen, he escorted those Jianghu people back to the capital, and completely transferred the hot potato to Wu Qiansi.
forced His Majesty to transfer Wu Qiansi.
His Majesty was annoyed, and he didn't want to keep him anymore Di Ying continued to jump.
If Li Zhen rebelled, Di Ying was accused of failing to persuade and stop in time;
If Li Zhen doesn't rebel, Di Ying will have a glimmer of life.
But Li Zhen has already put on a posture that is bound to be reversed, what can he do about it?
It's hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words, and now Di Ying can only think of a way to see how to implicate some people less.
This vortex is really big and deep.
Di Ying actually really wanted to save Li Zhen. ruled out whether he would be implicated, Di Ying didn't think about letting Li Zhen die.
For every one less person in the descendants of Li Tang, the power of the martial arts family will increase by one point.
As for the mentality of Chong Di Ying's annoying Wu family, he didn't want Li Tang's descendants to be killed.
But some things happened next that made Di Ying change her mind.
"Let's go for a walk in the streets."
Di Ying felt that staying in the mansion was really boring, so she wanted to go outside for a walk.
It was the end of October, and the dry cold wind was blowing the leaves everywhere.
From the warm Jiangnan, stepping on this Henan Road, it's really ......
The cold wind is biting, and the heart is cold.
The pedestrians on the street were also shivering from the cold.
There was an old man, with a burden, huddled by the wall, and his cloudy eyes looked blankly at the pedestrians who came and went in a hurry, and arranged the frozen pimples in the two flat baskets one by one.
Not to mention, in this early winter, in the yellowish season everywhere, you can see those orange-red, neatly placed frozen pestles, which is really eye-catching.
Di Ying, who was on fire, wanted to go over and buy two to taste.
As a result, before he got closer, he saw two men like servants, who walked up to the old man, and one of them picked up a frozen pestle and gnawed it.
After taking two bites, he nodded and said, "Well, yes, let's take them all back." β
When the other man heard this, he lifted up the hem of his short brown garment, took up the basket, and poured the puffer onto the hem of his garment.
It doesn't matter if it falls to the ground.
The strange thing is that when the old man saw this, instead of stopping him, his whole body was still shrinking back. In the folds of his face, sorrow was written in every stripe, but there was no anger.
Di Ying frowned.
This doesn't make sense.
If the two would give money, the old man should greet him;
If you don't give it, the old man should also beg for it;
What......
Di Ying's feetγSlowly walk thereγ He wanted to see what the two minions would do next.
There was no accident, and after the two of them loaded the old man's frozen pestle, they walked away.
Seeing that they were gone, and after they had gone away, the old man knelt on the ground trembling slightly, moved forward, and picked up the frozen pestle that had fallen to the ground and was lucky not to be carried away.
Then I gently wiped and wiped it with the tattered sleeves.
The old man's eyes were dry, but they were red, but no tears fell out.
Seeing Di Ying's brows furrowed even deeper.
He didn't pay attention to the old man, but continued to follow the two servants.
Seeing that they hadn't gone far, they might have found it troublesome to carry frozen persimmons like this, so they picked up another street vendor's basket full of beans.
Tip the beans over, then use the basket to fill the pestle and go.
The aunt who sold beans, like the old man, didn't say a word or shed a single tear, only bit her lower lip, sat on the ground, spread out her skirt, and picked up beans.
Some of the pedestrians on the street went to help, while others avoided it. Others, ignoring the beans that had fallen to the ground, stepped on them.
The only thing that is the same: they are all silent.
Di Ying also walked around in silence and continued to follow the two servants.
When Peng Liang passed by those beans, the internal force in his palm was revealed, and the beans rolled together.
Then, before the aunt and others looked at him, he followed the adults closely. There was no looking back.
After hearing someone couldn't help but let out a soft "huh", he comforted the aunt: "Auntie, don't be sad. Look, the wind is helping you today. β
And some people, the wind, can't help.
A lady's eggs and baskets were taken away by the two servants;
A shoe seller, several pairs of cloth shoes were taken away, and the shoe stall was lifted;
A passer-by, carrying a string of fish in his hand, tried to rush home, but the fish in his hand was snatched away.
ββ¦β¦β
But no one dared to question a single word.
Soon, the two servants went back with their shoulders and arms, and their waists, and full of all kinds of things......
Yue Wangfu!
Di Ying stood in the shadow of the street corner and turned her back.
I also heard the guards of the Yue Palace, talking and laughing with the two servants.
"You said you could just get some fresh food, why did you get all your clothes and shoes? No, it's still a joke, we can't afford to wear it in the palace. β
"Hey, isn't it getting colder? This is full of Yuzhou City, what is not our Yuewangfu? Let's take some of them, so that the sisters in the house don't have to do their hard work. β
"That's right, take it all over the street, why do you have to make it hard for others? Look, the workmanship is not bad, and it can be worn for a few days. β
"Tsk, you two are still thoughtful. This time the effort of washing clothes is saved. When we get off duty, we'll go and get a few pieces. The family still needs food and clothing. β
"Hey, I said? Steward Wang got a daughter-in-law for his son yesterday, but can it be? β
