Chapter 501 Waiting for Death
When we returned to the city, Daxiangguo Temple had just struck the fourth watch bell.

In just one night, the palace was turned upside down. Tian Jiguang dispersed the hired desperadoes and transported Zhang Xutang and his nephew back to the Song family.

Li Jun has been waiting at home. After hearing the knock on the door, he immediately opened the door and welcomed them in.

"I'm back." He glanced at Zhang Xutang expressionlessly, "Put it in the west wing room, Yin Xiao and I will live together."

Song Huiyue felt drowsy in the cool wind, walked to the water tank, scooped up a ladle of cold water, and rubbed her face vigorously: "Okay, where is Yin Xiao?"

Li Jun opened the door of the wing room and asked Tian Jiguang to throw Zhang Xutang in, then looked at the little Zhang Zihou, and simply pushed him to Tian Jiguang: "Such a big thing happened in the palace, Xiao will not be able to return in a while Come."

He kicked Zhang Xutang a little into the room, he already knew that Zhang Xutang was very weak, but he didn't expect to be so thin that he could roll several times with one kick.

Li Jun hesitated for a moment, and finally tied Zhang Xutang twice.

All the servants at home let him go out to rest, Song Huiyue's hungry stomach was growling, Tian Jiguang immediately went out to buy breakfast.

He bought big meat buns with fried ghosts, and four bowls of hot mutton noodle soup, and asked the waiter to bring them over.

In addition to Zhang Zihou, the four of them sat around a table. Zhang Zihou was sleepy and hungry, and he was not afraid. He didn't miss his second uncle who was tied up in the house. The head is sweaty.

After eating half a bowl, he quietly raised his head and looked at the other three people on the table.

Li Jun took a mouthful of a big meat bun, chewed and swallowed it a few times, took another mouthful of mutton soup, reached out and picked up another fried ghost for Song Huiyue, then pinched one with his own hand, opened his bloody mouth, and took a mouthful. Bite off most of it.

This way of eating is too heroic, Zhang Zihou has never seen it before, and he was fascinated by it. After Li Jun finished eating fried ghosts, he looked away and looked at Tian Jiguang.

Tian Jiguang was originally reincarnated from a starving ghost, but with Li Jun on the side, he looked more refined. He ate half a bowl of noodles in two bites, and he drank half a bowl of soup in a hurry. He also turned his head to look at Zhang Zihou—this small It seemed strange to him that the devil should eat at the same table as him.

Song Huiyue ate noodles slowly, soaked fried ghosts in noodle soup, after eating, yawned, put down her chopsticks and went to sleep.

Amidst the hot aroma of the food, Zhang Zihou continued to bury his head in eating the noodles, until his stomach swelled up before stopping his chopsticks.

Facing the enemy, he felt very relaxed, the food and the people around him were steaming hot, and his appetite and vitality were all very strong.

It's not like being with the second uncle - Zhang Xutang is cold and always has a calm face. When he eats, he seems to be taking poison, and even the food becomes difficult to swallow.

He was by Zhang Xutang's side, shrouded in shadow all the time, but as soon as he left Zhang Xutang, he seemed to be nourished by the sun, and he timidly burst into life.

After eating and drinking, he also yawned, but he didn't dare to speak or move. He glanced at Li Jun cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Second Uncle hasn't eaten yet."

Li Jun touched his head, poured the leftovers on the table together, and asked Tian Jiguang to take Zhang Zihou to deliver.

When Yin Xiao came back, an hour had passed, Song Huiyue took a short nap and was sitting at the table drinking tea.

After changing his clothes, he walked to Song Huiyue and sat down. Seeing that Li Jun and Tian Jiguang were not there, he buried his head on the table and looked sideways at Song Huiyue.

Song Huiyue put down the hot tea in her hand, picked up a candied plum and stuffed it into his mouth: "Have you eaten yet?"

Yin Xiao nodded, and at the same time moved her body silently, bringing her head close to Song Huiyue. With a light sniff, she could smell the smell of paper incense.

Song Huiyue didn't care about his approach, and asked in a low voice: "How is the situation in the palace?"

Yin Xiao raised his head and replied: "King Jin has stabilized the situation. The two county kings have been following King Jin and can testify for King Jin. The murder of King Yan's father is irrefutable. When I left the palace, they To call."

He died suddenly today, and he did not leave a will during his lifetime. Therefore, the governor led the Imperial Academy to draft the legacy to stabilize the court as soon as possible. The throne of the emperor allows the continuation of the imperial power.

Now the ministers are already crying and mourning at the court, and they only wait for the legacy to be issued and announced to the world, then they will move to meet the new emperor before the funeral.

After hearing this, Song Huiyue knew that King Jin's great cause had been accomplished, and the event was finalized. She couldn't help being happy for him, and raised her hand to touch Yin Xiao's head: "Go and see our captives."

Zhang Xutang didn't suffer in the west wing room, and Tian Jiguang took care of all his eating, drinking and drinking. However, after seeing Song Huiyue, he was still trembling: "What on earth do you want to do?"

Song Huiyue didn't speak, walked to Zhang Xutang's side, swung her palm, and slapped her round the face.

With a crisp sound, Zhang Xutang was slapped so hard that he lost his head, but Song Huiyue moved his foot, and immediately kicked him against the wall.

Zhang Xutang let out a scream, and Song Huiyue frowned immediately: "Don't make a sound, if you make a sound, you will be punished."

She pulled out the bamboo grate and hit Zhang Xutang on the head and face.

Beating someone with a bamboo grate was not fatal, but it was very painful. Zhang Xutang had thin skin and tender flesh, and was rolled all over the ground. curled up.

The clothes on his body were turned into rags, and there were red marks all over his body, which soon swelled up very high, making him covered in patterns like a cauliflower snake.

After the beating, Song Huiyue threw away the bamboo grate, got up and walked out without another word.

For three days like this, Zhang Xutang was beaten.

He was beaten so badly that he couldn't sit or lie down, even standing up, the pain didn't spare him for a moment, he barely lay down on the ground, suspecting that Song Huiyue wanted to beat himself to death.

At the same time, he heard Zhang Zihou's laughter.

The sky was dark, there was a heavy rain, and there was water in the yard. Tian Jiguang took Zhang Zihou to tread water in the yard.

Zhang Zihou laughed and yelled happily, the air was filled with moist moisture, mixed with the aroma of dinner - the rich smell of smoked pig's head meat.

The door of the west wing seems to be a door separating hell from the world.

Song Huiyue's gentle and firm voice came from outside the door—even if she just casually said that pork head meat is delicious, it could make the house more vivid.

She holds everything together and everyone is brought together because of her.

Hearing Zhang Zihou's laughter, Zhang Xutang suddenly stretched out his hands to cover his eyes, but tears still flowed from his fingers.

He fought loyally for the Zhang family, but the Zhang family had never given him such tenderness.

But he doesn't regret it - he was born so smart, he just wants to stir up wind and rain in this world, he is a dragon, destined to roll in the vast ocean, only the Zhang family can let him do whatever he wants.

It's just a matter of winning and losing.

With Zhang Zihou around, his Zhang family is still alive, even if he turns into dry bones, Zhang Zihou is still a member of the Zhang family.
