Beijing.

The backyard of Zhongyonghou Mansion.

It's freezing cold and the wind is howling.

However, Rigorous's face was covered with sweat. He quickly stretched out his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his face.

If you don't wipe it dry, it may freeze if you stop for a while.

"Brother, I'm so tired, can you take a rest?"

Yan Song collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.

It's really impossible to do this job.

Not only was he tired, but he also smelled terrible. He felt like his whole body was filled with stench and he felt disgusted with himself.

Yan Qing held the two front handles of the cart with both hands.

On top of this cart were neatly placed ten night incense barrels. The two of them were responsible for all the night incense barrels of the new dark guards in the backyard.

"Why rest? We haven't reached the end of the field for a while. If you are punished, don't blame me for being unloyal." Yan Jing glared at him.

"I really can't walk..."

Although Yan Song sighed, he finally stood up.

He couldn't bear the punishment from Yan Qian's mouth.

Yesterday, he was just lazy for a short while and was punished by lifting hundreds of kilograms of stone chains a hundred times. He didn't even finish the punishment and fainted from exhaustion halfway through.

The remaining times of this punishment were still recorded, and he would not dare to do it a second time.

"Stop talking nonsense, come here and push it together. These boys are really good at peeing. They are so heavy." Yan Yan glanced at the night incense bucket with disgust, and quickly looked away.

"Here we come... Hey, brother, isn't this humiliating us? Do you think we want this?"

Yan Song sighed, glanced left and right, then stretched out his palm and made a tiny wave-shaped gesture.

"Are you crazy? Don't even think about it. There are people monitoring this yard, so don't think about anything." Yan Jing lowered his voice quickly and glared at Yan Song.

"Hey, okay, when will it be the end?" Yan Song said.

"It's only been two days...you just screamed without thinking. We are lucky to be alive. What else do you want?"

"Think about it, if we all die here, who will feed our parents and little sister? And your children, who will feed them?" Yan Jin whispered.

"If it weren't for them? Would I be afraid of death?" Yan Yan added.

"But isn't my brother the most afraid of death? You always told me before that it's better to live than to die." Yan Song muttered.

"Of course you can't die if you can live. Don't talk so much and hurry up and push the cart." Yan Yan was a little annoyed.

Seeing that Yan Jin was really angry, Yan Song did not dare to say anything more, but pushed the car forward with more force.

As I walked along the road, I encountered people covering their noses.

At first, Yan Song was still a little reluctant to let go, but later on, he became completely numb and had no feeling. Even if his whole body was filled with stench, it didn't matter.

In his mind, he recalled the scene when Zi Yan broke into the door.

At that time, he thought he was dead, but then Zi Yan looked at them and said something.

"Do you want to die or live?"

Is it still necessary to choose this multiple-choice question?

As long as there is a chance, I will naturally want to live. Who would want to die?

Later, Zi Yan said, let them tell the cause and effect of this matter.

This is the proper meaning of the question. He talked about it with Yan Jing without any psychological pressure.

Because they were originally greedy for money and were hired by the Feng family.

They have no loyalty to the Feng family.

What's more, they haven't even received the reward yet.

The Feng family agreed to give the money after everything is done...

When he thought about it carefully later, didn't the Feng family just not want to take any risks?

Logically speaking, some deposit should have been given at that time.

They felt that the Feng family was a well-known family, and with their reputation, they would not do such a thing as defaulting on their debts, so they agreed to their request.

In fact, the Feng family is still very sophisticated.

After they failed, they wouldn't be able to get a penny, which meant that the Feng family didn't pay any price at all.

After hearing their complaints, Zi Yan was very dissatisfied.

This means that the information they gave was not of much value and was not enough to redeem their lives.

From this, they were given a choice, whether to hand over all their belongings or to be servants for a period of time.

Is this still a choice?

If you want to be a servant, just be a servant. As long as you have the choice, giving money is absolutely out of the question.

However, he did not expect that the first task as a servant would be to pour night fragrance!

The first time he poured it, he vomited...

Later, after a day passed, I got used to vomiting and vomiting. I no longer felt it and became numb.

Even later, he couldn't smell the stink anymore.

…

"Those two people are the two Jianghu people you captured?" Luo Xingchen, who was sitting on a chair in the study, glanced outside through the window, and then looked at Zi Yan with a helpless expression.

"Yes, it's these two Jianghu people." Zi Yan nodded.

"What's the purpose of letting them pour night fragrance?" Luo Xingchen stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed his forehead and the corners of his eyes. The past two days of frantically reading and reciting made him very tired. He felt like he hadn't slept well in a long time.

past illusion.

"Try your temper first, otherwise it won't work... I plan to wait for them to comply and contact the Jianghu Road in Jiangnan through them to prepare for going to Jiangnan." Zi Yan picked up the tea cup and blew it.

"You can arrange whatever you want, but it's best to let them go another way. This way, the smell is too bad." Luo Xingchen stretched out his hand in front of his nose and flapped it twice.

"Tell someone to tell me later." Zi Yan smiled. In fact, she was embarrassed to say that she also felt that the smell was unpleasant. She waited until Yan Song and Yan Jin left, and the unpleasant smell dissipated a lot.

"There will be a poetry meeting in a few days, how are you preparing?" Zi Yan asked, she was most concerned about this matter.

"I can't tell, I don't know what their level is." Luo Xingchen frowned.

"You also need to pay attention to rest. Don't overwork yourself. I'll ask the kitchen to make some more supplements for you tonight."

When it comes to supplements, Zi Yan is very proficient.

"Okay, you can go and work on Xiao Liuzi's matter with peace of mind. I think Xiao Liuzi may have very important evidence in his hands. If you can rescue him, try to rescue him." Luo Xingchen said.

"It's difficult. The biggest problem now is that we can't confirm the specific location of Xiao Liuzi. Feng Qingyan of the Feng family has a very strict seal, and our spies can't enter the Feng family." Zi Yan shook his head.

"Just do your best to obey fate," Luo Xingchen said.

"It's okay, I'll leave first."

"Where to go?"

"Go to see the emperor. You can show him some of the investigation results on this food distribution."

…

After Zi Yan left the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, she did not stop on the way, but went straight towards the palace.

Inside the palace, Qi Xingyun was having lunch when he got the news that Zi Yan asked for a meeting.
