Wei and Jin cooks

There was water beside the well, including clean water and overflowing dirty water from washing dishes. Zheng Mingzhu made a loud noise when she fell. Everyone looked over and saw her lying on the ground with a face as golden as paper. like a statue.

The maid who bumped into her was startled. When she saw everyone looking at her, she immediately defended herself: "I didn't bump into her. She fell because she couldn't stand firmly."

But no one believed her out loud, and no one blamed her. Everyone looked indifferently, and then lowered their heads when they heard the steward's footsteps and continued their work, not taking the matter to heart.

People died in the General's Mansion from time to time. When many people died, everyone got used to it.

It was just a fall, what's the fuss?

The purchasing manager stepped forward on the water, stretched out his hand to touch the tip of her nose, frowned slightly, and said to the manager who hurried over: "When a person dies, he must be exhausted."

When the manager heard this, he became anxious and said, "We all come and go to work on time, how can we be exhausted?"

The purchasing manager said: "Then report him to death. I'll carry the people out tonight. I'll see if I can buy a few to fill the vacancies tomorrow. There are a lot of guests in the past two days. You should be careful. If the general knows what's going on in the house, It’s exhausting, and it’s not easy for any of us.”

A chill ran down the steward's spine and he nodded repeatedly, "I'll have her thrown out right now."

The purchasing manager said "Hmm", and while waiting for him to call someone to collect the body, he asked: "Is the order ready?"

"Okay, okay," the steward took out a list and gave it to the purchasing steward, "Here are the dishes that have been accidentally damaged in the past few days."

The purchasing manager just glanced at it and stuffed it into his sleeve, "I'll see if I can make up for it when I go shopping tomorrow."

Just as the corpse collection team arrived, the purchasing manager lowered his head and glanced at Zheng Mingzhu lying on the wet ground. He sighed and said, "After all, I have served the general. Roll up her mat. At least she has a place to stay."

As soon as the steward accepted his love, he was naturally willing to give him a good deal and immediately asked someone to drag out a shabby mat.

Zheng Mingzhu's mat was okay, so she would naturally leave it to the next dishwasher, but she could give her a tattered mat.

The corpse collection team rolled the body onto a mat and carried the mat directly out.

Because the contact with the body was not long, they did not find that the person was still alive. Zheng Mingzhu was lying in the water, her hands and feet were cold, and she felt like a dead person.

The purchasing manager also walked out. The front yard manager and the servant guards all lived very close to the corner gate, so they were traveling together.

Approaching the corner gate, the corpse collection team wanted to dump the person in a corner and wait until daybreak before sending them out.

When the purchasing manager saw him, he asked, "Is there someone dead up front?"

The corpse collection team replied: "There were two dancing girls at the banquet just now who were disobedient. They were just brought here, but their deaths were not pretty."

The purchasing manager frowned and said, "Let's take them to the mass grave together now. The smell of corpses and blood is not good."

The body collection team was reluctant.

The purchasing manager took out a bunch of copper coins and threw them at them and said: "Hurry up, since the Yuzhou man came to our door yesterday, the tempers of the general and the junior general have not been very good, especially the junior general. The whole house is looking for bad luck. If Knowing that you didn't dispose of the dead bodies in time, trouble will occur and we will all have a hard time."

When the corpse collection team heard this, they immediately took the copper coins and said with a flattering smile: "Don't worry, manager, I'll take care of it soon."

They thought that the purchase of the steward was for the steward of the Huanxiyuan. After all, someone died in his courtyard. Even if the general did not ask questions, he would still be punished according to the rules.

The corpse collection team also collected the other two corpses. In fact, they threw the corpses on the cart, covered them with thatch and transported them out.

There is a place for dumping corpses in the city. It used to be a place where corpses were burned. There is a huge pit. Since the emperor moved the capital to Yuncheng, the generals have very strict rules. People die from time to time. In addition, there are many powerful and aristocratic families coming into Yuncheng. People died everywhere from time to time, and some unclaimed and buried corpses were dumped there. They couldn't even be burned. In the end, they simply stopped burning and just threw them there.

Therefore, the cremation pit became a mass grave. In the past two years, many dense weeds and trees have grown there, which looks very nutritious.

The corpse collection team was very familiar with this road. They pushed the cart all the way to the mass grave and dumped the three corpses on the cart.

Zheng Mingzhu was lying on the broken mat and heard people pushing the cart farther and farther away. She slowly started to move until there was no sound nearby.

She rolled twice on the spot, rolled out of the broken mat, and then sat up tremblingly with her arms supported. One hand was a stinging stone, and the other was something cold and wet.

She turned her head and looked, and under the moonlight, a half-naked corpse came into view.

Zheng Mingzhu was startled, held up her arms and took two steps back.

She trembled her lips as she looked at the two corpses stacked together, and moved the mat with trembling hands.

She covered them with a mat, and then she stood up and looked around. Among the wild grass and wilderness, there were strange calls of birds and the sound of flapping wings. Under the moonlight, there were shadows, and there seemed to be shadows in the darkness. A monster is watching her.

Zheng Mingzhu looked around and was a little scared, but when she lowered her head and saw the two corpses at her feet, her fear dissipated.

Is there any place more terrifying than the human world?

Isn't this what hell is all about?

Zheng Mingzhu dragged her tired legs and walked out. She had to leave. Although she didn't know who saved her and why, she didn't want to be a chess piece anymore. She wanted to go home, back to Gaowan.

Zheng Mingzhu had little information. She didn't know that her parents had moved to Yuncheng, or even that Qingzhou was split, so Gou Chun came back from Qingzhou.

She had only taken a dozen steps when two people emerged from the weeds and stopped in front of her, "Miss Zheng? Is this Gaowan's Miss Zheng?"

Zheng Mingzhu pursed her lips and replied: "Yes, I am."

"What's your small print? When is your birthday?"

Zheng Mingzhu saw the knives in their hands and knew that if she answered incorrectly, she would probably die on the spot, so she could only answer honestly.

Right.

The two men immediately put away their knives and stepped forward and said, "Miss Zheng, we were sent by your father to rescue you. Please come with us. We will send you out of the city early tomorrow morning to chase your father."

Zheng Mingzhu's eyes suddenly widened, "Did my father hire you?"

One of them chuckled and said, "Your father can't afford to hire us. We are the Zhao family army, and your father is now our governor's domestic slave."

Zheng Mingzhu trembled her lips and looked particularly ugly. Her father actually became a slave, so wouldn't the Zheng family...

In the General's Mansion half a city away from here, Wang Dun's face was also extremely ugly.

He came out of the banquet and took a breather in the yard. Thinking of the extravagance and absurdity at the banquet, he was still unhappy.

When he was in Qingzhou, he heard that the general had become ridiculous, but he didn't know that he could become so ridiculous.
