Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 94 Full of doubts
It was said that Earl Ying lay in the rocking chair until evening. When he woke up, he felt tired and exhausted.

He stood up, stretched, and stared at the ceiling.

Looking from outside the door, I saw the moonlight already appearing in the sky.

He sighed softly and jumped out of the rocking chair.

Walking to the desk, looking at the mess on the ground, my heart was in disarray.

Even if he wanted to start revising the novel manuscript of "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sword", it was simply impossible.

Pick up the pen, put it down again, and repeat several times.

After trying several times, I couldn't decide whether to live or die. I had no choice but to give up in the end.

He tapped his knuckles lightly on the manuscript paper a few times, and finally walked away.

He walked out of the study, lowered his head all the way, expressionless, and went straight to the dining room.

It was time for dinner at home, and Pang Chunmei and Zhao Xiangzhu were sitting at the tea table eating snacks.

When Pang Chunmei saw Count Ying coming, she immediately stood up to greet him.

"How are you feeling? Are you okay?" The woman asked softly while gently pulling Earl Ying.

"It's not bad. I just took a nap and feel a little better." Earl Ying sat at the tea table with an expressionless face.

Zhao Xiangzhu casually put a handful of melon seeds in Pang Chunmei's hand, looked at Earl Ying and said seriously: "Everyone has his own destiny, and this is beyond the control of others."

"The little girl named Huan'er died miserably, but what can be done? As the saying goes, people cannot be resurrected after death."

Zhao Xiangzhu's words were meant to make Earl Ying think about it, but for Earl Ying, these words went in one ear and out the other, but they could not be heard in the heart at all.

Not long after, Pan Jinlian's voice was heard from outside the hall: "What time is it, why is it so late for dinner at home today?"

When Earl Ying heard Pan Jinlian speak so carelessly, he immediately slapped his palm on the table, snorted coldly, and turned around.

Seeing this, Pang Chunmei walked quickly to Pan Jinlian.

She shook her head at Pan Jinlian and said, "Sister, please don't say that. My husband is troubled now, so please don't talk too much."

Pan Jinlian saw Earl Ying sitting there without saying a word.

Suddenly he frowned and said softly: "Huh, he is just a maid. Look at him like this, he really has no future!"

Although Pang Chunmei was also a maid, she also felt the same for Huan'er.

But after all, she was different now, so she didn't say anything more about Huan'er.

When the meal started, Pang Chunmei, Pan Jinlian and Ying'er sat around Earl Ying.

Chunmei and Ying'er both wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

How could Earl Ying have any appetite?
He slammed his chopsticks on the table and said urgently to Pan's mother: "Let Pan Yangzhi and Pan Yangming come in quickly!"

Pan's mother was stunned, and then realized that Huan'er's death was all caused by Pan Yangzhi and Pan Yangming.

Speaking of which, everyone is related to each other, and Pan's mother really doesn't want to call Pan Yangzhi and Pan Yangming over.

But how could she dare not obey the earl's order?
So, the old woman dragged a handful of old bones and staggered out of the dining room.

At this time, Pan Yangzhi and Pan Yangming were discussing something secretly in a room on the east side.

Pan Yangzhi frowned, looked at Pan Yangming and said, "Actually, I was thinking last night that the two of us attacked Huan'er with as much force as we could." "But it wouldn't be enough to kill Huan'er." This maid was beaten to death, you see, even though we both came from peasant backgrounds."

"But after all, I don't have any boxing skills. If I hit the maid with punches and kicks, could I really let the maid die miserably on the spot?"

What Pan Yangzhi said was actually what Pan Yangming was thinking.

Like Pan Yangzhi, he was lying in bed tossing and turning last night, unable to sleep, because all the things that were running through his mind were this matter.

I can't figure it out whether I'm dead or alive, and I always feel that Huan'er's matter is full of strangeness.

Huan'er was just a weak woman. If she didn't have any diseases on her body, she wouldn't be beaten to death by the two of them.

Neither of them thought about it. How Huan'er died was not important at all. What was important was that Huan'er was indeed dead.

How could Earl Ying let the two of them go?
The two of them were worried and suspicious all day long, constantly recalling how they punched and kicked Huan'er at that time.

But even if he didn't expect that a disaster was approaching, he didn't think about it quickly and left here as soon as possible.

At this moment, Pan Yangzhi was about to speak when he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the door.

Then, the door opened.

Pan's mother was seen standing at the door, panting, and said to the two of them: "Hurry to the dining room, the master is calling you!"

Pan Yangzhi and Pan Yangming looked at each other, and their hearts tightened: Ah!Something bad happened!

When the two of them came to the dining room, Earl Ying looked at them gritting their teeth.

He said sternly: "You two, please kneel down and tell me how I should deal with Huan'er!"

It was only at this moment that Pan Yangzhi and Pan Yangming suddenly realized that it seemed that Count Ying would definitely not let them go.

The two of them hesitated for a while, unable to explain why.

Earl Ying stood up quickly, picked up an iron rod placed in the corner, and walked towards the two of them.

Earl Ying gritted his teeth and thought to himself: I have to skin you two alive in front of these people today!
But for some reason, there was a sudden shouting outside the dining room.

There seemed to be so much urgency that those who shouted could not seem to delay even a moment.

Earl Ying frowned, followed the sound, and looked outside.

The person who came was actually Xie Xida!

Xie Xi saw Count Ying from a distance, and immediately waved his hands and said, "Brother Ying! Something bad has happened, Zixu is dead!"

Earl Ying was shocked, threw away the iron rod in his hand, and ran out quickly.

"What did you say? Zixu died? When did it happen?"

Earl Ying opened his eyes wide and looked at Xie Xida who was panting.

Xie Xi Dalian didn't even bother to drink. He swallowed his saliva repeatedly and said, "Just a few hours ago, now all the brothers are in Hua Mansion. Second brother Ying should come with me as soon as possible!"

Xie Xida was extremely anxious, but Earl Ying was a little hesitant.

The relationship between him and Li Ping'er was secretive. Now that Hua Zixu was dead, it would be really unjustifiable if he was not present.

After thinking again and again, he looked at Xie Xi and patted his thigh and said, "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"
