The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C277 The price of murder be high
Very quickly, someone outside had prepared fifty taels of gold to be delivered to them.
The golden item was placed in front of Jiang Ting.
Jiang Ting looked at the pile of things in a daze.
Suddenly, he remembered that Mian Niang could not even earn a single gold coin from selling tofu for a year.
However, this sort of thing happened quite often in this world. It wasn’t worth worrying about.
The words that the Prince Rong said were always something that could not be refused.
Jiang Ting had already rejected him more than once, the Prince Rong stared fixedly at Jiang Ting’s face, wanting to see how he would reject his again.
If he was not even willing to accept the reward, Jiang Ting could not be kept, even if he was completely loyal to his son, the Prince Rong’s Mansion would not let him live.
Jiang Ting did not reject the fifty taels of gold.
He did not even hesitate to accept the reward.
Prince Rong’s gaze slightly contracted, but its depth could not be seen.
“Speaking of which, This King is rather curious. As an assassin, why are you suddenly unwilling to kill people?”
Jiang Ting said coldly, “This subordinate has paid a very high price to kill someone.”
Jiang Ting also didn’t think that he would have to return to the Tongzhou so soon.
Coming out from Prince Rong’s study, Jiang Ting was holding the fifty gold.
He looked at the gold in his hand and felt mixed emotions.
At that time, in order to escape, now I feel that this thing is hot potato, I don’t know how to deal with it.
Walking out of Prince Rong’s courtyard, he saw Xiao Zongxian standing in the garden and teasing the servant.
Hearing the voice turn around, a sinister and ostentatious gaze landed on his hand, his smile gradually losing its warmth.
“My royal father’s handiwork is mediocre. How can he only reward so little?” He seemed to already know what was inside the bag.
Jiang Ting walked over and opened up the package in front of him. The gold inside was revealed, and his numb face finally had a look of helplessness: “Your highness, it’s because this subordinate is loyal and devoted to you.”
Xiao Zongxian’s expression froze, and after a long while, he shook his sleeves and said: “My people need him to act.”
He was truly angry, and even threw away his previous address. He flung his sleeves and left. The servant girl beside him still wanted to continue tangling with him, but she was kicked away by him.
Jiang Ting looked at the gold in his hand, his face had already recovered back to normal.
Xiao Zongxian turned around to take a look. Jiang Ting hurriedly followed him, following him all the way back to his courtyard. After entering the study room, he asked what he was going to do with the gold.
Xiao Zongxian had already gradually calmed down, but he still found the gold dazzling.
“What did you say in the study?”
It was not easy for his eyes and ears to be planted in his father’s yard. As for what was discussed in the study, he had no way of finding out.
Jiang Ting did not hide anything, and told his everything about the conversation he had with King Rong in the study room.
Xiao Zongxian did not say a word, and was even considering whether what Jiang Ting said was true or false.
In fact, he was even more unsure if Jiang Ting was as loyal to his son as he said, and actually did not care about King Rong at all.
It was because Jiang Ting seemed to be too hard to grasp, and even when he had that expression, no one could understand what he was thinking.
However, he would want those things of his to be done by him.
The truth was that Jiang Ting’s martial arts was powerful and he spoke very little, he was not close to anyone in the Prince Rong’s Mansion, he interacted even more with people outside. Looking at the people under his command, they all felt that there was not a single one more reliable than him.
This person was highly efficient, never made any mistakes, and never leaked secrets.
Xiao Zongxian thought about the opportunity Jiang Ting had when he entered the Prince Rong’s Mansion, and felt that this person was indeed someone who kept his promises. Whether he was loyal or not, let’s not talk about it first.
But in the end, he was not truly loyal, and once the agreed date came, Jiang Ting would naturally leave.
Her father’s repeated attempts to recruit her had not succeeded, it could be seen that even in her father’s eyes, Jiang Ting was still a talented person.
Even if Jiang Ting was lacking a bit, he didn’t want to give this old man any advantage.
Xiao Zongxian frowned and thought deeply about what he should do to recruit this person into his team, and how he should be willing to serve him.
Actually, buying people’s hearts was just a matter of “wealth, sex, power, and name”, but, as an assassin and assassin, would he really care about fame?
This person had a pure heart and few desires, and didn’t approach a woman. It was unknown if he was truly cold-hearted or if he hadn’t met someone he liked.
For a moment, Xiao Zongxian couldn’t think of a better way.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, “Father is generous, natural son cannot be stingy. Someone come! ”
Very quickly, Chang Xuan, who was standing outside the door, came in. Xiao Zongxian said: “Go and fetch 100 taels of gold over, and give it to Mr. Jiang for him to prepare for future emergencies.”
When Jiang Ting walked out of Xiao Zongxian’s room, the gold on his body made him feel sarcastic.
He returned the gold back to his room, changed his set, and headed out of the manor.
The sky was already dark. Jiang Ting made sure that no one was following him before he ran towards the Taifu Residence.
was already unaware of how long it was going to be, at the start, he could still remember someone sending him food a few times. He calculated the days by relying on this, but slowly, the feeling of counting the days slowly faded, as time went by without hope, and every day, he would only think about how long he would be able to live for.
If he had known earlier, he would have taken control of the two taels of flesh beneath his crotch no matter what; he could not be mixed together with Mayer’s disease Wu Niang no matter what.
For the sake of a moment of happiness, his so-called wealth and fortune had been sacrificed. As a result, the entire family had become old and young. It was truly not worth it.
He thought that he could be Lu Buwei, but in the end, he never thought that he could even be compared to Lao Ai.
Back then, she should not have listened to Wu Niang in confusion, what she wanted to do was her own business, if not, how could she hide the truth between herself and her, and let the Prince Rong’s Mansion know that she was going to enter the Prince Rong’s Mansion to enjoy wealth?
These past few days, Zheng Tong had carefully searched through half of his life, and now, his entire body was immersed in regret.
He hated Wu Niang for her malice, and he hated himself for her stupidity.
Even though he was covered with a blanket, he was still very cold. When he first came in, he had typhoid fever, and at one point, he even thought that he was going to die. However, he did not expect that after the person who brought him food gave him two pills, he managed to survive.
However, there was nothing good about surviving this ordeal. It was just a matter of continuing to suffer.
The door to the secret chamber opened and a figure walked in.
He slowly raised his head. His messy hair and unshaven beard made him look like a wild man.
He raised his head and saw that the person who entered was not the person who usually wore a mask on his face, but was Jiang Ting.
He quickly asked, “What are you doing here? “You are here to kill me.”
Other than fear and apprehension, there was also a trace of hope in Zheng Tong’s voice. It was only now did he understand that he wasn’t as reckless as he had imagined.
Even though ants were greedy for life, he still wanted to live. Even though he was like a dog, he still wanted to be able to breathe.
It was not that he was willing to die just because he had lived enough.
However, he could not help but think about this. Ever since Jiang Ting threw him in, he had never come here again.
Jiang Ting had not appeared for a long time, and now that he had suddenly appeared, he couldn’t help but suspect whether he had come to understand his own life.
However, he still wished that he could live. He no longer wished to be rich, only to be able to leave safely.
The smell in the secret room was not good. He had finished all his food and drinks here, and the secret room was not ventilated, so the smell naturally would not be good.
When Jiang Ting suddenly came in, even he couldn’t help but frown.
He looked coldly at Zheng Tong, and for the first time, he suspected in his heart that he shouldn’t have hidden others here, and tainted all of the thoughts his parents had left him.
However, after thinking about it, other than leaving him here, there was really no other place that was more suitable to imprison him.
Only here would it be a secret that others would not easily discover.
“You want to die?”
The cold tone was similar to that of the stone walls around them. It was icy cold, without the slightest bit of warmth.
Zheng Tong shook his head in fear, “No … Don’t want to die… I want to live… Master… Ancestor grandpa … It was all Wu Niang, all those unruly hooves, she wanted you to die, I was forced to do it, I couldn’t help it, I begged you, I’m begging you, I will kowtow, apologize to you, I beg you, please don’t remember this lowly person, can you spare my life? ”
The blanket fell off his body. The clothes inside were stained with stains, but one could still see the original pattern of wealth and splendor. It was a pity that he was locked up here, waiting to be slaughtered.
One after another, his head hit the ground. He really wanted to live. He wanted to walk out of here alive.
“I give you my family property and all my property. Can you just let me go? “I’m begging you, uncle …”
Trembling, shivering, stuttering and talking until his bones gave way, he was no longer the rich and powerful Zheng Dahu of Tongzhou.
“You didn’t have the slightest shyness when you hired the murderer.”
Jiang Ting thought back to when Mian Niang was ambushed. If she had arrived a little later, she was afraid that Mian Niang and her mother and little brother’s lives would have just disappeared without a trace.
Zheng Tong did not dare raise his head, and continued to knock his head against the ground one after another.
“Master, Lord Jiang, please spare my life, it was not a small idea to buy the killer’s life back then. This was entirely the idea of Mei Family Wu Niang, it was all instigated by that woman, I made a mistake, please spare my life!”
