Chapter 70: begging

    Wen Chi's retching caught everyone's attention.

    Liu De and Liu Shan, who were about to go inside, stopped at the same time. When the brothers turned to look at Wen Chi, they no longer had the familiarity they had before, but were a little more complicated. Emotions.

    Their eyes stayed on Wen Chi's eyebrows for a moment, and then Liu De said, "If Young Master Wen feels unwell, you should wait outside."

    Shi Ye glanced at Wen Chi, whose face was not very good-looking, and instructed: "Zuo Zhi, you also stay."

    "Yes."

    So Wenchi and Zuozhi stood outside the door together.

    Zuo Zhi is not a talkative person, if Wen Chi does not speak, she will be silent.

    Wen Chi watched the birds flying in the open space in front of him.

    Wen Chi felt a little familiar to them, as if they had seen them somewhere…

    Zuo Zhi noticed Wen Chi's gaze, followed his gaze, and said, "That's a starling."

    "Pink starling?" Wen Chi remembered, he had seen information about this bird on the Internet, this bird often gathers in large groups, preys on insects, and also eats Grains and small fruits, and the locusts that are now flooding Jinju are also one of the prey objects of starlings.

    Since there are starlings in Jinju, why is there a locust plague?

    "Pink starlings?" Zuo Zhi smiled lightly, "Yes, they are indeed pink."

    Wen Chi asked, "Are there many starlings in Jinju?"

    Zuo Zhi said: "There used to be a lot, but now it is estimated that there are fewer and fewer."

    Wen Chi was surprised: "Why?"

    Zuo Zhi shook his head gently: "Jinzhou is located in a remote location, as the saying goes, the emperor is far away, and the court's hand is difficult to reach here, so the jurisdiction of Jinzhou is naturally not as strong as that of the capital and the In the surrounding areas of Beijing and other places, the government did not do anything, which led to the people's hardship, and it was difficult to solve the problem of heat preservation. They had to hunt to satisfy their hunger, and hares and birds were the easiest to hunt."

     Hearing this, Wen Chi couldn't help falling into contemplation.

    The locust plague alone is enough to cause a headache. However, Jinzhou has so many messy problems. To solve the locust plague, we must first solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

    To put it bluntly, the money is not in place…

    Zuo Zhi saw that Wen Chi had been silent for a long time, and added with a smile: "These are all what the servants heard from Mr. Storyteller, and I don't know if they are true or not. Wen Gongzi just listens to it, don't worry about it. superior."

    The two chatted for a few more words before falling silent.

    Wen Chi turned to look at the closed door, and suddenly became curious: "What are they doing inside? Is Zhang Heng injured?" Not badly injured.

    Zuo Zhi's expression was slightly complicated: "It is indeed injured."

    "Seriously?"

    The limbs are all broken, the internal organs are almost broken, and only one breath is left, can it be serious?

    Zuo Zhi thought so, but still shook her head: "It's not serious."

    As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a creaking sound behind him.

      Wrapped in rich blood.

    Liu De and Liu Shan followed behind, looking horrified, so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

    Shi Ye walked slowly to Wen Chi.

    Wen Chi was irritated by the **** smell on Shi Ye's body, he quickly stepped back, and at the same time covered his mouth and retched.

    Seeing this, Shi Ye stopped immediately.

    He stared at Wen Chi coldly, and after a while, turned his head towards Liu De: "The rest of the hostages, kill them all."

    "Yes." After Liu De answered, he remembered something, and was stunned before saying, "His Royal Highness, and Zhou Fang's wives and concubines..."

    Shi Ye's voice was so calm that there was no ups and downs: "Kill them all together."

    "Yes."

    Originally, Wen Chi thought that Zhang Heng was injured by those kidnappers, but after listening to the conversation between Shi Ye and Liu De, he suddenly tasted it.

    No wonder there is such a strong smell of blood in the room, no wonder Shi Ye is also contaminated with such a strong smell of blood after coming out...

    So Shi Ye not only killed Zhang Heng, but also planned to kill the hostages here, including the five women who rode a carriage with them that day.

    According to Liu De's words, those five women should be the wives and concubines of Zhou Zhifu.

    Wen Chi didn't like Zhang Heng, especially after Zhang Heng cut his neck with a dagger, it was impossible for him to have any sympathy for Zhang Heng, so whether Zhang Heng was injured or died, he had no heart No volatility.

    But those hostages are quite innocent...

    He remembered that the five women were shaking with fear when they were in the carriage, like penguins huddled together to keep warm, they looked very pitiful, and they didn't do anything bad thing.

    But Wen Chi thought about it, but didn't say anything, he silently turned his head to one side.

    Liu De and Liu Shan were about to leave when Shi Ye stopped them again.

    The brothers didn't know why, but they didn't dare to ask more, they stood there with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, waiting for Shi Ye's orders.

    Although Shi Ye didn't move, his eyes fell on Wen Chi: "Do you have any objections?"

    Wen Chi was stunned for a moment, before realizing that Shi Ye was talking to him, and quickly said, "I don't dare."

    "What else do you dare not?" Shi Ye sneered, his voice was low, even with such a light laugh, it was very pleasant, like a scumbag popular in the 21st century , "Tell me, tell me what you think, maybe this palace can think about it."

    Wen Chi struggled for a long time, he thought that he should get used to the survival rules of this era, after all, he has been wandering around the gate of hell, and he may enter at any time, but the days when he came to this era Soon, still can not quickly integrate into it.

    After thinking about it, he still said cautiously: "I just think that those hostages are innocent people, and there is not necessarily a dead end."

    "Where is Zhang Huan?" Shi Ye suddenly said, "Is Zhang Huan also innocent?"

    Wen Chi looked at Shi Ye, and couldn't hide his shock for a while. He didn't expect that Shi Ye knew about Zhang Huan. It seemed that he knew all about the conflict between him and Zhang Huan. Chu.

    "The innocent people I'm talking about are the wives and concubines of Zhou Zhifu." Wen Chi whispered, "Not including Zhang Huan."

    Although in an objective sense, Zhang Huan was indeed an innocent person who was implicated, he did not dare and did not want to intercede for Zhang Huan in this situation.

    Shi Ye smiled: "Young Master Wen is really kind, and anyone is willing to lend a helping hand."

    Wen Chi: “…”

    He could hear what Shi Ye said, but he couldn't understand what Shi Ye meant.

    "That's all." Shi Ye turned around and instructed Liu De and Liu Shan, "Lock them here first, and let them go after Shi Jin rescues the others."

    Liu De said, "What about Zhang Huan?"

    Shi Ye glanced at Liu De with an unpredictable expression: "It's up to you."

    Liu De and Liu Shan understood at the same time and answered yes together.

    On the way back, Wen Chi felt uncomfortable, so he leaned against the window and fell asleep.

    However, the roads in Jinzhou are mostly gravel, and the carriage is very bumpy when driving. Wen Chi's head slammed back and forth in front of the window. Although it didn't hurt, it made him more and more uncomfortable. Disgust after wave of nausea swelled up.

    Shi Ye sat opposite Wen Chi and beckoned to him, "Come here."

    Wen Chi wanted Shi Ye to give up this gesture of calling for a puppy.

    As soon as he approached, Shi Ye suddenly reached out and tapped on his chest a few times.

    Shi Ye took Wen Chi's softened body and held Wen Chi in his arms very naturally.

    Seeing this, Zuo Zhi, next to him, quickly brought a thin blanket and gently covered Wen Chi with the thin blanket.

    After Zuo Zhi sat back, he looked at Wen Chi, who had fallen asleep, and Shi Ye, who was staring at Wen Chi. The strange feeling that lingered in his heart never dissipated.

    Until Shi Ye's voice sounded: "If you have something to say, say it."

    Only then did Zuo Zhi realize that she had not been able to hide her thoughts in front of Shi Ye, and immediately lowered her head in shame, and soon she raised her head again, and asked after deliberation, "This servant does not understand. , why does His Royal Highness keep those alive?"

    This is nothing like His Royal Highness.

    Zuo Zhi admits that she still understands His Royal Highness. As a knife in his hand, she has taken countless lives for His Royal Highness. She knows that His Royal Highness is an extremely annoying trouble A person who would rather be charged with indiscriminately killing innocents than leave a living hole to block themselves.

    As far as the situation is concerned, killing all the hostages is the fastest and best solution.

    His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not want to let the Fourth Prince and others know of his arrival, let alone meddle in the Fourth Prince's affairs, then as long as the remaining hostages are killed, no one will pass on the news... so As a result, this will become easier.

    The most important thing is - this is what His Royal Highness will do.

    Faced with Zuo Zhi's doubts and incomprehensions, Shi Ye's answer was also very simple: "This palace leaves only innocent people."

    The left branch choked obviously.

    How could the former Crown Prince consider whether the other party is innocent? He just finds it annoying.

    Wen Chi woke up and found that he had returned to the attic, and someone took off his robe and socks for him, and carried him to the bed.

    However, apart from Shi Ye, there are only Zuo Zhi and a few maids left here. The people who can help him do these things... It seems that only Shi Ye is alone.

    Wen Chi sat beside the bed in a daze, looking down at his bare feet, suddenly feeling extremely awkward.

    Shi Ye took off his shoes and socks for him…

    It was unimaginable.

    Wen Chi didn't dare to let himself think about those anymore, the more he thought about it, the colder his neck became.

    He subconsciously touched his neck but found nothing. The wound Zhang Heng made on his neck disappeared at some point.

    Wen Chi suspected that Shi Ye had fed him blood the night he was unconscious, but he had no evidence and dared not ask Shi Ye.

    Have a day off in the attic.

    Next day.

    After Wen Chi finished his breakfast, Shi Ye came.

    Shi Ye changed into a blue robe, his long hair was **** at will, revealing a graceful face outline, half of his face covered with burn marks was covered by a mask, at first glance a few more A mysterious beauty.

    Wen Chi sat on the chair, looked at Shi Ye approaching, couldn't help sighing in her heart—

    This beauty…

    Awesome!

    The beauty of the fairy, this is the real beautiful man who came out of the comics.

    The beautiful man walked to Wenchi and glanced at the breakfast that Wenchi had eaten cleanly: "Have you finished eating?"

    Wen Chi nodded: "It's over."

    The handsome man said: "Go."

    "Okay." After Wen Chi nodded, he suddenly woke up from his masculinity, and quickly added, "His Royal Highness, where are we going?"

    Shi Ye's eyes were cold for a moment: "Take back what you sent out."

    Wen Chi was confused: "What?"

    "Think carefully about what you sent out?" Shi Ye not only looked cold, but sneered at Wen Chi, "Zhang Heng told Ben Gong before he died that he had accidentally Seeing Hanako Zang fondly holding the wooden box only available in the East Palace, isn't that something you gave away?"

    “…” Wen Chi almost forgot about this.

    He felt guilty all of a sudden, his eyes moved from side to side, but he didn't dare to look directly into Shi Ye's eyes, and even his voice became quieter, "I, I sent a wooden box to the flowers. Young Master, I thought there were desserts made by Ruofang, if I knew that it was given to me by His Royal Highness, I would take good care of the wooden box and would never give it away."
