"What's wrong, young master? Your face is so scary."
When Xia Feng walked out of the hall, a servant from the courtyard surrounded him.
Hearing Xia Feng's tone, the two servants felt that something was amiss, they shrunk their necks, and without daring to ask anymore, turned around and went to get someone.
After the two of them left, Xia Feng's face darkened. Today, because of something else happening in the courtyard, he did not follow Young Master to the Jia family for the banquet, but who would have thought that such a serious matter would happen?
Since Dong Shan and Dong Song followed their Young Master to the Jia family, logically speaking, with them by their side, they shouldn't have been taken advantage of by Jia Yuanling.
Regardless of whether or not they had done their part or had some internal affairs, they would not be spared today.
After a while, two servants dressed in gray clothes were brought in front of Xia Feng. Before Xia Feng could say anything, the two servants knelt down in front of Xia Feng and begged: "Big Brother Xia Feng, is Young Noble going to punish us? We were not purposely not following you. It was Jia Yuanling's servants who did not allow us to enter the courtyard. "
Xia Feng's face was stern, he looked at them coldly: "If there's anything you want to say, go inside the room and report it to the Young Noble."
Ling Zhang could vaguely hear what was happening outside and remained unmoved by the two servants' reasoning. When he entered Jia Yuanling's courtyard, the two servants were still by his side, but they had disappeared in the end. He did not believe that there was anything fishy going on.
In his previous life, because the situation was too chaotic, he did not have time to deal with the two of them. It was because of the incident at Ling Family that the two of them suddenly ran off without a trace, causing him to realize that something was amiss with the two of them.
"Bring him in." Ling Zhang shouted coldly.
Xia Feng waved his hand, and called for the servants to escort Dong Shan and Dong Song into the hall.
When Dong Shan and Dong Song got on their knees, they started to wail and beg for forgiveness.
"Young master, please spare us, it's not that we don't want to follow by your side, it's just that the Jia family's servants stopped us and chased us out of the courtyard."
Yes, Young Noble. We had always wanted to return to your side to protect you, but the servants of Jia family were too despicable.
"When did they chase you out of the courtyard? Who were the ones who stopped you? How many helpers did they call, and where did they block you off to?" Ling Zhang asked slowly.
"It's, it's that Jia Er beside Jia Yuanling, he was the one who stopped them."
"Right, right."
"When Young Master was drinking, we wanted to advise him not to drink so much, so he chased us out."
"Right, right."
"He, he stopped us in the garden behind that horned gate."
"Right, right."
"There are five or six of those helpers, and they are all servants of the Jia family. We don't really know them."
Just as the other one was about to nod his head in agreement, Ling Zhang's face suddenly darkened, and threw the teacup in his hand onto the ground!
The garden behind the corner door? He had been in the pavilion in the garden. Not only did he not hear anything, he did not even see a shadow.
"Xia Feng, bring someone to the rooms of these two people and search. Bring anything that is suspicious here." Ling Zhang shouted in anger.
Dong Shan and Dong Song's faces both paled as they crawled on the ground, "Gongzi, gongzi, we really didn't do it on purpose. Please believe in us."
Although Xia Feng did not understand the loopholes in their words, since Ling Zhang had spoken, he did not hesitate to bring his men to search Dong Shan and Dong Song's room.
Kicking the door open, Xia Feng said loudly: "Search carefully, no matter how small the corner, do not let go. If there is anything that you are missing, I will make a request of you all!"
The servants who searched the room heard and did not dare to be careless. They turned's and Dong Song's room upside down, searching every nook and cranny of the room, and finally came out with a lot of things.
Xia Feng flipped through these things one by one, his expression turning increasingly dark. In the end, he coldly and angrily said, "Bring all of these things back!"
These items were quickly piled in front of Ling Zhang. Xia Feng walked forward and said: "Sir, I found many suspicious looking things in Dong Shan and Dong Song's room, among them is one of them something that both of them have, and the other one is a large pouch with one hundred silver coins. That pouch's embroidery looks exactly the same as the foot of the formation, and it came from the same person.
When Xia Feng said this, both Dong Shan and Dong Song's faces became paler and paler. Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, as they did not dare to raise their heads to look at Ling Zhang.
"Young master, the embroidered method of these pouches looks very much like the clothes worn on Jia Yuanling's body and the embroidered method of these pouches. It was done by the embroidery lady, Wang Sanniang, who was by Jia Yuanling's side. Xia Feng continued.
How could he not remember? Ling Zhang looked at Dong Shan and Dong Song as if they were two inanimate objects, a bloodthirsty killing intent flashed past his eyes.
"Please spare me, please spare me!" We do not dare to do so again, young master, please spare us! " Dong Song was the first to cry and beg for mercy.
Dong Shan's face was as white as a ghost's, he raised his head and met Ling Zhang's gaze, his entire body shivering when he met that cold gaze, and could no longer hold on, "Young Noble, Young Noble, spare me!"
Spare my life? He spared them, who would spare the lives of dozens of Ling Family's people in his previous life?
"Shut their mouths." Ling Zhang said calmly.
But the calmer his tone was, the more terrified everyone in the room was. Even Xia Feng did not dare to speak, and brought a few servants with him to gag Dong Shan and Dong Song.
There was an oppressive force in the hall that pressed down on their hearts. No one dared to even breathe.
"A bowl of medicine for each person, send them on their way." Ling Zhang said.
Dong! Dong Song weakly collapsed onto the ground, his head hitting the ground, producing a sound, his eyes turning white.
"Young master …" Xia Feng wanted to say something, but when he met with Ling Zhang's gaze, his heart trembled, and he did not dare to say the remaining words out loud.
"Do you want me to ask you to do it?" Ling Zhang said coldly.
Xia Feng lowered his head: "I don't dare, I'll go get the medicine now."
"Mm, don't startle the old man. If someone accidentally sees us, tell them they're in critical condition." Ling Zhang said.
"Yes, I know what to do now." Xia Feng lowered his head and retreated.
The remaining four servants all lowered their heads, holding onto Dong Shan and Dong Song with all their might, not daring to raise their heads for even a moment.
Xia Feng did things very quickly and very quickly, he finished preparing the medicine and carried it over.
As he was holding the medicine, Xia Feng had already regained his composure, "Young master, the medicine is ready."
Seeing that he had recovered his composure so quickly, Ling Zhang felt that it was a bit unexpected. Xia Feng had been by his side for so many years, perhaps he was his servant or master, which was kind of similar to his personality in the past. He thought that Xia Feng would complain to the antechamber because he couldn't take it anymore.
It looks like he had not dug up the other side of Xia Feng in the past.
In this world, there really was no one who was truly weak. This was also good. The road he was going to walk was a bloody path, and the people beside him also could not hold it back.
"Let them drink, not a single drop is allowed to leak out." Ling Zhang said indifferently.
Dong Song had already fainted but there was no reaction. Dong Shan struggled with all his might, and looked at Ling Zhang as if he was looking at a terrifying ghost, terrified.
Once the cloth was taken away, Dong Shan shouted loudly, "Don't, Young Noble, spare me, spare me …"
Before he could even finish speaking, Xia Feng had already pinched both of his cheeks and poured a bowl of medicine into his mouth!
Dong Shan continuously struggled, but to no avail, the pill could not be spat out after being swallowed.
After a long while, Dong Shan started to react. Not only was white foam at the mouth, his entire body was trembling uncontrollably.
Dong Song also quickly followed in Dong Shan's footsteps.
Ling Zhang sat on the upper seat and watched quietly, as if he was not seeing the two lives die, but rather the most ordinary and indifferent performance.
With his calmness, the other people couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Wrap them up and send them to the unmarked cemetery."
Xia Feng's body trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and answered calmly, "Yes."
"Take it away."
Xia Feng and his four servants quickly carried away the two corpses.
The moment they walked out of the hall, a light breeze blew past them. The five of them, including Xia Feng, shuddered at the same time.
Xia Feng lifted his hand to take a look, and started to tremble.
The only difference was that some families were cruel, and several people would die in a year. On the other hand, people like the Ling Family had never seen such a thing as today, so instead, the medicine was only given to people as a symbol to intimidate them. Today was the first time Xia Feng knew what kind of effect the medicine had after being consumed.
The young master was different. After following the young master for so many years, he felt the most obvious. This was also the reason why he hesitated for so long in the small kitchen. In the end, he chose to listen to his young master's instructions and brought the medicine over.
With that thought, Xia Feng's face sunk. Clenching his fists, he placed his trembling hands behind him and said to the other four: "You all have seen what happened today, I think you all should know what to say. You all have sold yourselves to the Ling Family, and the indenture contract is in your hands.
The four of them trembled, and looked at each other, gritting their teeth and nodding: "Brother Xia Feng, don't worry, we all know that we won't say anything. Since they betrayed their young master, causing him to be placed in such a dangerous situation, this will be their retribution. "
"It's good that you guys know what kind of person Young Master is, you know very well that he has never been harsh on any of you, this time the reason why Young Master is so angry is because these two people are at the bottom line. As long as you guys don't touch the bottom line, then Young Master will naturally not do anything to you." Xia Feng said.
"Brother Xia Feng, we understand." The four secretly let out a sigh of relief and said.
"Go, follow what the Young Master said, wrap them up in a white cloth and throw them at the unmarked cemetery. Remember, if you are discovered, just say that they died from an emergency. " Xia Feng warned.
"Yes sir!"
After the distant Ling Zhang finished listening to this conversation, he slowly turned around and left.
