worthless [rebirth]

Wang Anzhi coughed twice, and suddenly his whole body started to convulse, foaming at the mouth, he seemed to be having difficulty breathing, his face was red, his neck was so thick that he was tearing and he was panting heavily.

"Medicine...give me the antidote..." he said with difficulty.

Jiang Chi no longer mentioned asking him for the antidote, and slowly tapped the edge of the wooden box with his fingertips, and said with a sneer, "Which one do you want this time?"

"The square box..." Wang Anzhi said with difficulty.

"Go." Jiang Chi winked at the officer on the side.

Jiang Chao watched, and belatedly understood Jiang Chi's intentions, and couldn't help scolding his brother for being too perverted in his heart.If he kept tossing, even if Wang Anzhi wasn't poisoned to death, he would collapse because he couldn't stand the torture a few times.

After Wang Anzhi detoxified, Jiang Chi picked up a medicine bottle again and poured the liquid into Wang Anzhi's mouth.

"Please...kill me..." Wang Anzhi pleaded, finally unable to bear the loss of life again and again.

Jiang Chi put the medicine bottle back, patted Wang Anzhi's face, smiled evilly, and said, "It's hard to want to die, but as long as you hand over the antidote, I can consider letting you live comfortably."

Wang Anzhi has been tossed half to death, and he doesn't have much energy left.He lowered his head, barely opened his eyes, and said, "Okay... Let me say... that, the red medicine bottle..."

"Bring it here." Jiang Chi ordered.

Luo Feng took out a small red medicine bottle and handed it to Jiang Chi.

After shaking the medicine bottle a few times, Jiang Chi felt that there should be half a bottle of viscous liquid in it. He brought the medicine bottle to Wang Anzhi's eyes, and Jiang Chi confirmed, "It's this one?"

"Exactly...exactly." Wang Anzhi said weakly.

Jiang Chi uncorked the bottle and said, "How to use it? Hundreds of people here have been poisoned, how can one bottle of medicine be enough?"

"Brother Huang, he never said anything before, but what he says now may not be credible." Jiang Chao reminded, "Be careful not to be deceived by this old fox."

Jiang Chi nodded to him, indicating that he knew what he knew.

"Oh... King Jin, don't be so careful. I'm already like this. I will die sooner or later. I won't be able to lie to you again." Wang Anzhi said: "This medicine is dissolved in clear water and taken. The emperor only needs to use a bucket of water for the antidote." Just flush it out and let the poisoned person take a sip."

"Come here, bring a bucket of water." Jiang Chi said.

After fetching clear water, Jiang Chi poured the whole bottle of potion into it, stirred it with a ladle, then poured some into Wang Anzhi's mouth, and said, "Take a sip first, to prove that this is the antidote."

"Worried about cheating... oh oh..." Wang Anzhi just wanted to sneer, but Jiang Chi forced the potion down. "Cough cough! Uh cough cough!" He was choked and coughed several times before he calmed down.

Everyone was waiting to verify whether it was the antidote. After about a stick of incense, Wang Anzhi was still as usual, which meant that at least it was not poison. At this time, Jiang Chi ordered people to carry the antidote to the cells and feed it to those prisoners. The poisoned prisoner took a bowl of water himself.

The soldier who went to deliver the antidote came back not long after, and told Jiang Chi that the symptoms of the others had eased after taking the antidote, and that it was definitely the antidote.

Jiang Chi nodded, picked up the bowl and drank the antidote, feeling much better immediately.

"How is it?" Jiang Chao asked with concern.

"It's true." Jiang Chi said, reassuring Jiang Chao, "You are not joking, it is for your sake of handing over the antidote, come and untie him." Jiang Chi ordered Wang Anzhi to be released from the rack. He untied him, and asked someone to find him a stool to sit on.

"Now, let's start the trial." Jiang Chi said, sitting on a chair with a Persian plush upholstery. You have the guts to let you poison me?"

"Your Majesty, please read this." Luo Feng stepped forward and handed a letter to Jiang Chi.

Wang Anzhi said: "No one instigates me. I was greedy for profit for a while. I was worried that the emperor would know about the heavy taxation in Chaozhou, so I became murderous for a while."

He spoke clearly and clearly, if he hadn't heard it in Xiao's ancestral hall that day, knowing that Wang Anzhi and Xiao Yu were working for others, Jiang Chi might really believe what Wang Anzhi said today.

Pulling out half of the letter, Jiang Chi just took a look at it and was so angry that he slammed the letter and the envelope on Wang Anzhi's face.The blue veins on the forehead were jumping "chug", Jiang Chi said sharply: "Bastard! I should have guessed it was him a long time ago! It's so good!"

"The king of Huainan is quite ambitious." Jiang Chao had already read the letter before Jiang Chi arrived, and knew that all of this was planned by Huainan King Jiang Sheng, so he said he wanted to surprise Jiang Chi.Looking at it now, the surprise is not necessarily, but the shock is indeed not small.

"Is this the surprise you were talking about?" Jiang Chi glanced back at Jiang Chao, who was behind his eyes, and said, "Have you sent someone to search the place mentioned in the letter?"

"Don't worry." Jiang Chao fiddled with his cuffs angrily, and said with a light smile, "Take the looted mountain and people's fat and people's anoint to build a base for making weapons in private, King Huainan's mind is now Sima Zhao's. "

"Have you handed over the tax money to King Huainan?" Jiang Chi said coldly.

Wang Anzhiyou didn't admit it, and said: "The humble ministers are all used to eat and drink, and buy household belongings. The emperor has a look at these antique calligraphy and paintings, which of them don't you want money to buy?"

"You are still stubborn." Jiang Chi sneered: "The reason why I want to interrogate you is just for a confession. Do you really think that if you don't say anything, I will have nothing to do with Jiang Sheng?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to deal with a lowly minister, just do it, but don't slander an old minister who is loyal to the court and you for no reason!" Wang Anzhi said.

Jiang Chi laughed back in anger, and said coldly: "I see that you will stop crying when you see the coffin. Do you know what is written in the letter?"

"..." Wang Anzhi remained silent.

Jiang Chi said: "Do you still remember that ten nights ago when I went to the Xiao family ancestral hall, Xiao Yu once said that there was a third person in the ancestral hall. Unfortunately, I was that third person."

"Tsk, I didn't expect that you would do such sneaky things as the emperor. I really underestimated you." Wang Anzhi said.

Jiang Chi sneered, and said, "Whatever you want. That day I heard that you mentioned that there was an important thing in the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall, so I went to the second floor to take a look. I thought you had already taken it away, So I didn't look for it that night. But after analysis, I felt that the thing might still be there, so I ordered someone to search the ancestral hall again. Things that can be hidden in a book without being discovered are not only books themselves, but also There are only some papers that can be clipped into the book and kept. This Jiang Sheng's secret order asking you to allocate most of the tax money to build an arsenal underground in Yaojiazhuang is the important thing you talked to Xiao Yu that night, right?"

"..." Wang Anzhi did not continue to refute this time, and said: "Since the emperor has already guessed everything, why do you still ask me?"

Jiang Chi shook his head and said: "A guess is a guess after all. I still hope to get your confession. And I still don't know one thing. As an imperial order official, it is understandable that you have something to do with Jiang Sheng, but Xiao Yu is just a businessman." , why did you catch up with Jiang Sheng?"

"When a person is poor, what he wants is money. When he is rich, what he wants is power. What's more, the Xiao family's family business was secretly supported by the King of Huainan." Wang Anzhi said, "So much tax money, income, There must be a legitimate reason for paying the bills. Xiao Wang's existence is just to make the money appear justified."

It turned out that it was only at this moment that Jiang Chi realized that the existence of the Xiao family was like a bank for money laundering for Jiang Sheng. class thing.

"Very good." Jiang Chi sighed. In terms of calculations, Jiang Sheng would not be much worse than him.But there was still one point that he didn't understand, so he said, "Then what about Cao Xun? Is he with you, or is he just a simple victim?"

"Haha!" Wang Anzhi laughed.

Jiang Chi frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing that you are conceited and smart, but you were deceived by Cao Xun." Wang Anzhi said: "He is naturally one of us, and he went to the imperial capital to sue the imperial court because you will leave the palace on the day he got the news. He deliberately chose the day before the Dragon Boat Festival. It's just to let you have an impression in your heart in advance, so that you won't doubt him when you go to Kaifeng Mansion. Sure enough, you believed him and came to Chaozhou in microservices. It's a pity that there was an excellent opportunity to kill you, and you lost. The reason for my defeat is that I insisted on using the name of the plague.”

"Even so, I still sincerely sigh that your game of chess is really wonderful."

***

Chen Ling fell asleep for almost three hours. When he woke up, it was already evening. When he opened his eyes and found that Jiang Chi was not by his side, he panicked, thinking that the other party had been buried alive.But soon he remembered that Jiang Chi had come back alive, and the two had poured out their hearts to each other, and experienced a lot of tenderness, so he couldn't help being amused by his nervousness.

Jiang Chi was right when he said at a party before, "Caring for chaos", he must be doing this because he cared too much about Jiang Chi's safety.

As soon as he woke up feeling refreshed, Chen Ling knew that Jiang Chi must have washed his body.Just to see that it's getting late, where will Jiang Chi go now that he's not in the room?

Not seeing Jiang Chi, Chen Ling felt somewhat uneasy, so he put on his clothes and went downstairs to see if the man was downstairs.

Jiang Chao brought a lot of officers and soldiers, although they were sent out for some office errands, a few of them still stayed in the inn.This was what Jiang Chi meant, to leave a few people behind to protect Chen Ling, just in case.

After asking those people, Chen Ling found out that Jiang Chi had gone to the prison to interrogate Wang Anzhi.Since there was business to deal with, Chen Ling couldn't get involved, so he had to wait at the inn.Sensing that it was almost time for dinner, Chen Ling wanted to order a few dishes for the back kitchen to cook, so that Jiang Chi could have dinner when he came back.

"Xiao Er!" Chen Ling called Xiao Er over, and said, "Go and prepare our dinner."

"Come on, my lord." Xiao Er agreed, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what dishes you want to order, my lord?"

Chen Ling was stunned, and was at a loss for words for a while.Living with Jiang Chi for so long, he never seemed to care about what the other party likes to eat, whether the taste is light or heavy.On the contrary, Jiang Chi has been accommodating him, preparing every meal according to his taste.

His face darkened, and Chen Ling suddenly felt a little depressed, even guilty.It wasn't until now that he realized that he had missed too much of Jiang Chi's unique tenderness because of the hatred in his previous life, and because of this, he almost missed each other.

"Young master, what do you want to order?" Seeing that Chen Ling was distracted, Xiaoer asked.

Just when Chen Ling was in trouble because he didn't know how to answer, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Chi had contracted almost all the sweet corn he made at Zhang San's last time, so he speculated that maybe the other party liked sweets.After thinking about it, Chen Ling said, "I want a plate of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, a plate of flavored eggplant, a steamed mandarin fish, and a bowl of seafood tofu soup."

There are salty and sweet, meat and vegetable, Chen Ling is very satisfied with his combination.

"Okay!" Xiao Er responded, and ran to the back kitchen to explain.

Chen Ling found a table to sit at random, and glanced around boredly. At this moment, a large number of officers and soldiers entered the door. Chen Ling looked up and saw that it was Jiang Chi who had returned.

"Ah Chi, you're back!" Chen Ling stood up and was about to greet her, but stopped.

Because Jiang Chi came in at the same time as a man covered in welts, with disheveled hair and blood all over his body.

Wang Anzhi's appearance is undoubtedly the appearance after being tortured.Once upon a time, he was hanged up and beaten by Jiang Chi, and Xiaotao was beaten to death by Jiang Chi.Thinking of this, Chen Ling couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.Standing by the table and staring at Jiang Chi, he suddenly didn't have the courage to go to that person's side.

Seeing that Chen Ling was about to go up to him but stopped in the end, Jiang Chi was a little puzzled.Following Chen Ling's line of sight, he found that the other party was staring at Wang Anzhi who had just been whipped. Jiang Chi thought that Chen Ling was frightened by Wang Anzhi's blood, so he raised his hand to take Wang Anzhi to Luo Feng first. An Zhi took him down to find a room and locked him up.Walking to Chen Ling with a smile, Jiang Chi intended to hold his hand.

"..." As soon as their fingertips touched each other, Chen Ling's hand trembled violently, and he subconsciously pulled it back.He took a step back involuntarily, and his calf hit the stool hard, knocking it over.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Chi frowned, and held Chen Ling's hand in his palm with some force.He signaled his followers to lift up the stool.

"No...it's nothing." Chen Ling stammered, avoiding Jiang Chi's gaze.He was a little angry with himself, obviously decided to throw everything away to love Jiang Chi, but after seeing Wang Anzhi's scars, he still thought of himself and Xiaotao, and even... he would feel that Jiang Chi's methods were too bloody and cruel.

"It's fine." Jiang Chi breathed a sigh of relief, and pressed Chen Ling, who was distracted, on the stool. He sighed softly, and said, "I don't know what you've been thinking about in your head all day. I've been distracted for a few days, it hurts just now." With a bit of distress in his tone, he squatted down, and put his warm big hand on Chen Ling's calf, rubbing it lightly.

"..." Chen Ling lowered his head, just in time to see half of Jiang Chi's profile.After being locked up in prison for several days without having time to take a good rest, he went to interrogate the prisoner for another day. Jiang Chi now had an unconcealable exhaustion on his face, but because he was afraid that he would hurt, the other party still gave him a serious massage.At that moment, Chen Ling's heart suddenly ached, with a sweet pain.

How about Jiang Chi being cruel to others?So what about how paranoid and crazy Jiang Chi was?What I love is the current Jiang Chi, the Jiang Chi who is holding him in the palm of my hand and hurts.

Chen Ling, who lived a new life, fell in love with Jiang Chi.

"Ah Chi, I don't feel any pain anymore." Chen Ling said, how could he bear to let Jiang Chi squat on the ground and rub his legs.

Jiang Chi raised his head, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and smiled softly: "Be more careful in the future."

"Yeah." Chen Ling smiled, raised his hand and wiped off Jiang Chi's sweat with his sleeve, and said, "I've asked Xiao Er to prepare dinner, let's eat."

Xiao Er served the food, just as Jiang Chi was about to take a seat, Jiang Chao rushed up and sat down in front of the sweet and sour pork tenderloin, jokingly said: "Here is a plate of pork tenderloin, brother Huang, your dish!" Shouting and picking up vegetables with chopsticks.

Jiang Chi quickly picked up the whole plate to protect it, as if planning to eat alone.Taking a sneak peek at Chen Ling, he lowered his head and put food into his mouth, his ears blushing with shame.

Knowing that Chen Ling was thin-skinned, Jiang Chi glared at Jiang Chao to tell him not to make fun of Chen Ling, so he put down the plate, took a piece of tenderloin and ate it, and brought it to Chen Ling's ear, and asked in a low voice, "How do you know?" I like to eat this... I don't remember telling you..."

"Well... I saw you like sweets at Zhang San's house before, so I thought that sweet and sour pork is more delicious among sweets..." Chen Ling hesitated and explained.

"Then you can cook it for me next time." Jiang Chi picked up a piece of fish for Chen Ling as if to please him, and said, "I do like sweeter ones, but I can't eat too much of the imperial meals in the palace. Three bites. If you make it for me in private, I can eat more..."

"Okay." Chen Ling nodded, Jiang Chi's hot breath turned Chen Ling's ears red.

"What kind of sweet and sour pork to eat? Brother Huang, you all know what you want to eat the most!" Jiang Chao said, making Chen Ling wish he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"Achi! Look at him!" Chen Ling blushed and glared at Jiang Chao indignantly.

Jiang Chi grabbed Chen Ling's waist with one hand, and pulled him into his arms. He glanced at Jiang Chao, lowered his head and kissed the corner of Chen Ling's mouth, and said with a smile, "What is he doing? He's right." , the one I want to eat the most... is Ziling."

"You, you..." Chen Ling's face was almost bleeding, he gritted his teeth, hating himself for falling in love with such a shameless person who dared to say anything in public.However, there was no ground for him to drill, so he had no choice but to keep shrinking into Jiang Chi's arms, and buried his whole face in Jiang Chi's arms.

"Haha! Hahaha!" He was so in harmony with Jiang Chi's intentions that he couldn't help laughing loudly.Patting Chen Ling's face, he smiled and said, "Are you full?"

"Full of gas!" Chen Ling said, lying on Jiang Chi's shoulder on purpose, biting his shoulder lightly through Xia Tian's thin shirt.Chen Ling was careful not to bite Jiang Chi, but he wouldn't make him feel better either.

"Si—" Jiang Chi took a deep breath in pain.

Jiang Chao watched the joke and held back his laughter.

Jiang Chi rolled his eyes at Jiang Chao, and directly carried Chen Ling on his shoulders, "slapped" his buttocks twice as if punishing, and said, "I'll make you sharp-tongued!" went upstairs.

"What are you doing, let me down quickly!" Chen Ling realized later that he had provoked Jiang Chi, and according to the other party's temper, tonight was bound to have a lot of trouble.As soon as I came during the day, Chu Ling didn't want to get up sore in the morning, so he struggled with his two legs, saying, "I was wrong, I knew wrong, ah ... you put me down."

"Don't let go." Jiang Chi said, speaking seriously in a joking tone: "I, Jiang Chi, will never let Chen Ling go, forever!"
