Kou Ji left the yard where the craftsmen were and returned to his own yard. He had just taken off his bearskin coat and was about to wash up when he saw Kou Zhong hurriedly enter the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he said urgently: "Young master, please go and have a look. The guy you locked up in the woodshed is going crazy."

"who?"

The hot sweat towel that Kou Jigang had just lifted fell into the water, and he asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Kou Zhong hurriedly said: "That's the one named Zhang Hua."

Kou Ji groaned and exclaimed: "I have been busy with government affairs these days, and I actually forgot about this guy."

"Take me to see it quickly!"

While talking, Kou Ji put on his bearskin coat and walked out.

Kou Zhong hurriedly followed behind.

As Kou Ji walked away, he asked, "Why is this guy crazy?"

Kou Zhong said uncertainly: "I'm probably bored in the woodshed."

Kou Ji wondered: "There are windows in the woodshed, there are guards outside the door, there are people talking to him, and there is light. How could he be bored?"

Kou Zhong explained: "On the second day after you interrogated that guy, he scolded you in the woodshed. The guard at the door couldn't listen anymore, so he nailed the upper door, sealed the door, and blocked the woodshed.

of death.

Except for the fact that they would open a corner of the window and throw it in for him every day when the food was delivered, the guards would not talk to him on weekdays."

Kou Ji took a breath of air and said in a deep voice: "This is more than ten days of confinement..."

"What confinement?"

Kou Zhong questions.

Kou Ji shook his head and whispered: "It's nothing..."

If ordinary people are confined for three to five days, they will be better behaved than dogs.

Those who are locked up for ten days and a half will either go crazy or commit suicide.

Kou Ji rushed to the yard where the woodshed was, and saw Zhang Hua sitting slumped in the yard with disheveled hair, staring blankly at the sky.

Beside him were three guards.

Kou Ji stepped forward, smelled the stench all over Zhang Hua, and took a few steps back.

"Zhang Hua?!"

Koji shouted.

Zhang Hua was indifferent.

Kou Ji wondered: "Really crazy?"

Kou Zhong and the three guards all nodded.

Kou Ji clicked his lips and whispered: "What a pity... give him a happy death and throw him into a mass grave outside the city."

The guard nodded and took out the scimitar from his waist.

A bit of sword light flashed into Zhang Hua's eyes under the scorching sun.

There was a little more sparkle in Zhang Hua's eyes.

He shouted, "I don't want to die...I can't die..."

The guard swung his sword to chop.

Zhang Hua rolled smoothly, rolled three times, and landed at Kou Ji's feet.

He suddenly hugged Koji's thigh and exclaimed: "Let me go, let me go, I can do whatever you want. I will be your cow or horse, I will be your slave..."

Seeing that Kou Ji was unmoved, Zhang Hua hurriedly said: "Just think of me as a dog, treat me as a dog... reward me with a bone when you are happy, and kick me to vent your anger when you are unhappy..."

While talking, Zhang Hua still hugged Kou Ji's leg, rubbed it twice and barked twice.

At this moment, Zhang Hua doesn't have any of the arrogance he had before.

At this moment, Zhang Hua was humbled to the core of his bones.

But he had to do it.

He wants to live.

All the unrealistic fantasies in his mind disappeared after more than ten days of confinement.

If his desire to live had not been strong enough, he might have committed suicide in the woodshed.

In the last few days of confinement.

The only thought in his mind was to see Kou Ji and beg for his life in front of Kou Ji.

As long as Koji can keep him alive, he can do anything.

When Zhang Hua imitated the dog's behavior, he lay on the ground with his feet in the air, and opened his clothes to reveal his belly.

Kou Zhong murmured: "How can people be so mean?"

Kou Ji looked at the festering scar on Zhang Hua's chest, frowned slightly, and said calmly: "You went in and were detained for ten and a half months, and it's the same when you come out."

If it had been the past, Kou Zhong would have retorted weakly to Kou Ji.

But after seeing Zhang Hua's appearance, he couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

Facts speak louder than words.

Kou Ji glanced at Kou Zhong and the three guards, and said coldly: "It is forbidden to spread this matter to outsiders, and you are not allowed to use this method to deal with people in the house.

Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind."

Kou Zhong, the three guards, their hearts trembled, and they all bowed and agreed: "Here..."

With Zhang Hua's living example in front of them, how could they dare to go against Kou Ji's wishes?

Kou Ji lowered his head and glanced at Zhang Hua, who was lying on his belly with his feet in the air. He frowned and said, "Take him down and see the doctor at home for a diagnosis and treatment. Then wash him up, change his clothes, and then send him to my yard."

.”

Kou Zhong agreed.

Kou Ji shook off his sleeves and left the yard.

Kou Zhong ordered three guards to pick up Zhang Hua and take him to the courtyard where the doctor was.

Kou Ji returned to his yard, threw down his bearskin coat, washed his face with cold water in the copper basin, held the sweat towel that was frozen into strips, and said with emotion: "It is impossible for a generation of traitors to become what they are now.

Know what is good and what is bad.”

As Kou Ji spoke, he held a sweat towel and wiped it on his face.

The sweat towel scratched his face so hard that he threw down the sweat towel and shouted toward the door, "Someone, please give me a basin of hot water."

The servant outside the yard heard Kou Ji's cry and hurried into the yard to help Kou Ji change a basin of hot water.

Kou Ji simply cleaned it and sat in the room in a daze.

After a long time.

Kou Zhong hurried into the yard and reported: "Young master, the doctor in the house said that the stab wound on Zhang Hua's chest has festered. He needs to scrape off the rotten flesh and reapply the medicine. He will not be able to recover until new flesh grows out."

As before.

The doctor left him in the hospital and said that he would be sent to you after diagnosis and treatment."

Kou Ji stared dimly behind Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong was stunned, turned around suddenly, and saw a pale-faced Zhang Hua standing behind him.

He trembled with fright.

But it was just a shiver, not too much of an extreme reaction.

Kou Zhong frowned and said, "Shouldn't you be staying in the hospital? What are you doing here?"

Kou Zhong felt a little unhappy, so he told Kou Ji that Zhang Hua was recuperating in the hospital, and Zhang Hua appeared in front of Kou Ji.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

Zhang Hua said slightly sluggishly: "It doesn't matter whether I'm injured, I'm in a hurry to come over and serve my master."

Kou Zhong frowned, and Kou Ji also frowned slightly.

Kou Ji ordered: "From today on, you will change your name to Zhang Yuan. You will first work as a handyman carrying swill in the house. I will call you when I need you in the future."

Zhang Hua politely bowed to Kou Ji and said blankly: "Thank you, Master, for the name."

"Go down."

Kou Ji waved his hand, and Zhang Hua exited Kou Ji's bedroom.

Kou Zhong asked Kou Ji hesitantly, "Young Master, is this man useless?"

Kou Ji thought about it: "That's not necessarily the case. This person is different from others and is very cunning. Send someone to keep an eye on him secretly. If he does anything strange, send someone to tell me."
