Chapter 94 Xie Lingjiang: Think about what senior brother would do
In the box.
After Liu Ziwen finished his instructions in an understatement, the atmosphere fell silent for an instant.
The faces of the people at the table varied, but no one spoke.
So in this silent environment, Yingniang's reaction suddenly seemed particularly loud, attracting everyone's attention.
"Old... Master, please let this slave go. I will listen to you in everything and work for you as a cow and a horse..."
Ying Niang rushed over and hugged Liu Ziwen's legs and trousers, bursting into tears and crying bitterly.
Liu Ziwen stared at the wine glass, his brows slightly raised. When the crippled boy servant standing quietly at the side saw it, he immediately took a step forward and took out a dagger.
He drew out his sword. The blade was two feet long, thin and cold.
A soft "bang" sound.
He was thrown casually onto the Persian carpet next to Yingniang.
The lame servant whispered to her:
"Let go and toast to the distinguished guests."
Hu Ji almost collapsed. She stood up tremblingly, swallowed a few times, wiped her face randomly with the silk sleeves used by her masters to decorate her, held the white porcelain slim cup in both hands, and walked away tremblingly. Go forward.
This Western Orchid is very smart.
There were two distinguished guests in front of her. She glanced timidly at the handsome young man with a calm expression, quietly walked around and walked towards the girl with downcast eyes who pursed her lips tightly.
Ouyang Rong's motionless aura seemed to frighten Yingniang, so she wisely avoided it and chose Xie Lingjiang, who had been eager to save her.
Because this girl is a good person.
"Thank you sister, please... buy you a drink."
Ying Niang lowered her eyes towards Xie Ling Jiang Ruoru who seemed to be avoiding looking at her.
Xie Lingjiang remained motionless.
Ouyang Rong glanced under the table, and the two fists on her knees trembled silently.
Yingniang made a "pop" sound and knelt down in front of Xie Lingjiang. Her face was sad, she was holding a cup in both hands, her eyes red from crying were turned up and she tried to look into the eyes of the girl with lowered eyes.
Hu Ji begged bitterly:
"Thank you, sister. Master Liu really bought me back this time. If I can't toast him, he will really kill me. Please, please, please. Thank you, sister. Please have a drink and save my life." "
Not far away, Liu Ziwen observed Xie Lingjiang's expression with great interest.
He once heard a saying: People who have helped you once are more likely to help you again than those who you have helped.
On the other side, Ouyang Rong was also paying attention to the movements of his junior sister.
At a certain moment, he saw the trembling fists on his junior sister's knees. The clenched backs of her hands were pale and bloodless.
Although the junior sister had always asked him to discipline her before, a person's personality and behavior could not be changed so easily, let alone in such a short period of time.
After hesitating for a moment, under the table, Ouyang Rong's right hand silently stretched out, as if he couldn't bear to give her some support.
The slender right hand reached halfway and then paused in the air.
He withdrew his hand.
Although he is a senior brother, this is not in the previous life; the defense between men and women is better than Fangchuan.
But Ouyang Rong didn't expect that a plain hand suddenly stretched out from under the table and grabbed his right hand that he wanted to take back.
Xie Lingjiang grasped Ouyang Rong's right forearm tightly through the fabric of Ouyang Rong's sleeves.
The latter was speechless, feeling the trembling and struggling in his junior sister's hand, and did not withdraw his hand, silently letting her grasp it.
At this moment, Xie Lingjiang did not look at the wine glass offered by the pitiful and hateful Hu Ji in front of her. She turned her head and glanced at Ouyang Rong's profile.
Think about what you would do if you were a senior brother.
Xie Lingjiang whispered silently in his heart.
So she looked back and suddenly uttered one word:
"roll."
The whole place fell silent.
Not to mention Liu Ziwen and others who looked surprised.
Even Yingniang, who was on her knees begging, choked on her sobs and looked stunned.
When she came to her senses, she screamed and grabbed the corners of Xie Lingjiang's shirt, her face full of tears, and she humbly begged:
"Sister Xie, I was wrong. I was too afraid of death. At that time, I just wanted to live. To do such a thing, I feel sorry for you and kowtow to you...Sister Xie, please, just take a sip."
, just one bite..."
Hu Ji kowtows crazily, hoping that the kind-hearted woman in front of her will relent and drink.
Xie Ling Jiang remained silent.
She grabbed her senior brother's hand tightly and kicked Hu Ji away at a certain moment.
Ying Niang, who fell to the ground, looked at Xie Lingjiang, who was crying, with a dull look on her face.
She looked back at Liu Ziwen, who was squinting slightly. The lame servant was bending over to pick up the blade and walking towards her.
The Orchid from the Western Regions howled and retreated, seemingly about to collapse as it approached step by step.
"Wait a minute, isn't there another person?"
At this moment, Ouyang Rong, who had been silent throughout the whole process, suddenly asked.
Xie Lingjiang and Liu Ziwen both turned their heads in surprise, and the lame servant stopped.
"Okay, okay!"
Ying Niang seemed to have grasped the last straw, holding the wine glass and crawling towards Ouyang Rong, crawled to his feet, knelt down to hold the glass, and looked up at him with a hopeful look:
"Sir, please... buy you a drink."
Ouyang Rong's eyes drooped, he stared at her for a while, then shook his head slightly: "I'm not the official."
He stretched out an index finger, pointed at Liu Ziwen opposite, and said warmly: "Bring the wine over and let him drink it. If he doesn't drink it, throw it in his face."
Liu Ziwen's face changed slightly.
Hu Ji was stunned for a moment and shook her head hurriedly: "How can this be done? Please drink it, please..."
Ouyang Rong reminded softly: "Go over and make a toast."
How could Hu Ji dare to touch Liu Ziwen's bad luck? She wanted to step forward and hug Ouyang Rong's thigh to plead. However, the next second, the whole audience burst into laughter:
"I asked you to come over and make a toast!"
The young county magistrate suddenly stood up.
A cold light flashed.
Xie Lingjiang's sword was drawn out from his waist.
The tip of the sword was facing down, and he held the hilt of the sword with both hands, slamming it down like a salute.
There was a "clang" sound.
A long sword was inserted straight and forcefully into the floor between the kneeling Hu Ji's legs.
At the same time, Sen Leng's sword was inserted into the cavity between her hands holding the cup and her chest. This scene made it look like Hu Ji was holding the sword in her arms.
There were a few strands of brown hair in the air, slowly falling to the ground.
"ah--!"
Looking at the sword edge only a centimeter away from the tip of her nose, Hu Ji collapsed and screamed.
Xie Lingjiang looked at the calm-faced young man next to him holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand. He slowly squatted down and brought his face close to the frightened Hu Ji. He seemed to look at it carefully, and he uttered words word by word:
"You think good people don't have swords? You're afraid of the short blade, but what about this long sword?
"I am a seventh-rank official and a Jinshi. Your Mr. Liu has to bend down and bow his head when he sees me. How dare you force me to drink?
"And my little junior sister."
Ouyang Rong pointed to Xie Lingjiang beside him:
"Her family is the ninth generation of a distinguished family. In the history books of previous dynasties, all those with the surname Xie are her relatives, and most of those with different surnames are also her relatives;
"Her father is a noble scholar from the Qing Dynasty who cannot be invited to the court today. He is also the direct daughter of the Jinling family of the Xie family in Chen County. He is a world-famous family who prohibits marriage. Even the son of the prime minister of the current court cannot reach her.
"What is the Liu family in Longcheng? All the games are leftover from her family's past games...you force her to drink?"
"The Liu family's swords are sharp, and the swords of my junior sister and I are not bad at all!"
The whole place was silent.
The young county magistrate, who was squatting with his sword in his hand, pointed at Hu Ji's chest again, nodded and said:
"I heard that from the middle of the ribs, just below the xiphoid process, you can stab into the heart effortlessly. Before tonight, I only listened to what others said. After tonight, I can tell others."
Hu Ji looked at Liu Ziwen in fear.
Ouyang Rong seemed to have expected it and said directly:
"Do you think that if I kill a private slave without permission, it will damage my reputation and the Liu family will get the handle, so I won't do it? Oh, then you have thought too well of your Mr. Liu, but you have also misjudged it.
The situation is different today.”
He turned his head and said to Liu Ziwen:
"If you dare to order a private slave to commit suicide in front of me today, you will definitely not be accused of forcing the slave to death. Some of the evidence of the slave's crime has been drawn up, right? After the death, it will be presented tomorrow morning.
Turn it over to the government to clear your name."
Ouyang Rong nodded and ordered in a calm tone:
"Okay, it's mine. Hand it over later and then talk to me."
Liu Ziwen couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
Don't dare to refuse.
Hu Ji was stunned.
Ouyang Rong pulled out his long sword and glanced at her.
Yingniang was completely desperate, turned around hurriedly, and crawled to Liu Ziwen.
Hu Ji lowered her head, but raised her hands high, handing over the "toast" that was only half full.
In the box, the situation changed again.
Ouyang Rong did not look at Liu Ziwen, who looked ugly. He turned back to Xie Lingjiang, lowered his head and put the sword back into the scabbard in her hand.
Xie Lingjiang raised his head and stared blankly at his senior brother's face as he focused on sheathing his sword.
It turns out that this is what the senior brother did.
Good people will not be bullied, only weak people will be bullied.
Why are ‘good guys’ held at gunpoint?
Because either you are empty-handed or you have a gun, who do you mean if you don’t point the bad guys?
the other side.
In front of the young county magistrate and the noble daughter of the Xie family.
Liu Ziwen was silent for a moment, but he took the white porcelain thin-legged cup presented by Hu Ji, raised his head and drank the "toast" he poured himself.
(There will be another chapter at 12 o'clock) Suddenly I realized that there are only twenty-eight days in this month. Holy shit...
