"What's wrong with young master? His face is so scary."

When Xia Feng walked out of the hall, servants from the courtyard surrounded him.

Xia Feng was the most capable servant beside Ling Zhang, he was also the one with the greatest authority in the courtyard. The butler would specially come over to tell him everything that had happened outside, and naturally he knew more than these people.

"Go and call Dong Shan and Dong Song over. Shut your mouth and ask nothing." Xia Feng said in a serious tone.

Hearing Xia Feng's tone, the two servants felt that something was amiss, they shrunk their necks, and without daring to ask anymore, turned around and went to get the intended.

After the two of them left, Xia Feng's face darkened. Today, because he was busy with something else in the courtyard, he did not follow Young Master to the Jia family for the banquet, but who would have thought that such a serious matter would happen? Young master would suffer a lot if he didn’t deal with that incident calmly.

Since Dong Shan and Dong Song followed their Young Master to the Jia family, logically speaking, with them by their side, Jia Yuanling should not find a chance to hurt Young Master.

Regardless of whether or not they missed their duties or other reasons, they would not be spared today.

After a while, two servants dressed in gray clothes were brought in front of Xia Feng. Before Xia Feng could say anything, the two servants knelt down in front of Xia Feng and begged: "Big Brother Xia Feng, is Young Master going to punish us? We were not purposely not following him. It was Jia Yuanling's servants who did not allow us to enter the courtyard. "

Xia Feng's face was stern, he looked at them coldly: "If there's anything you want to say, go inside the room and report it to the Young Master."

Ling Zhang could vaguely hear what was happening outside and remained unmoved by the two servants' reasoning. When he entered Jia Yuanling's courtyard, the two servants were still by his side, but they had disappeared in the end. He did not believe that there was anything fishy going on.

In his previous life, because the situation was too chaotic, he did not have time to deal with them. It was because of the incident at Ling Family that the two of them suddenly ran off without a trace, causing him to realize that something was amiss with the two of them.

"Bring them in." Ling Zhang shouted coldly.

Xia Feng waved his hand, and called for the servants to escort Dong Shan and Dong Song into the hall.

When Dong Shan and Dong Song got on their knees, they started to wail and beg for forgiveness.

"Young master, please spare us, it's not that we don't want to follow by your side, it's just that the Jia family's servants stopped us and chased us out of the courtyard."

Yes, Young Master. We had always wanted to return to your side to protect you, but the servants of Jia family were too despicable. They found helper to impede us.

"When did they chase you out of the courtyard? Who stopped you? How many helpers did they call, and where did they block you off to?" Ling Zhang asked slowly.

"It's, it's that Jia Er beside Jia Yuanling, he was the one who stopped us."

"Right, right."

"When Young Master was drinking, we wanted to advise you not to drink so much, so he chased us out."

"Right, right."

"He, he stopped us in the garden behind that corner gate."

"Right, right."

"There are five or six of those helpers, and they are all servants of the Jia family. We don't really know them."

Just as the other one was about to nod his head in agreement, Ling Zhang's face suddenly darkened, and threw the teacup in his hand onto the ground!

The garden behind the corner door? He had been in the pavilion in the garden. Not only did he not hear anything, he did not even see a shadow.

"Xia Feng, bring someone to the rooms of these two people and search. Bring anything that is suspicious here." Ling Zhang shouted in anger.

Dong Shan and Dong Song's faces both paled as they crawled on the ground, "Young Master, we really didn't do it on purpose. Please believe in us."

Although Xia Feng did not understand the loopholes in their words, since Ling Zhang had spoken, he did not hesitate to bring his men to search Dong Shan and Dong Song's room.

Kicking the door open, Xia Feng said loudly: "Search carefully, do not let go any corner no matter how small it is. If there is anything that you are missing, you shall be liable to this!"

The servants who searched the room heard and did not dare to be careless. They turned and Dong Song's room upside down, searching every nook and cranny of the room, and finally came out with a lot of things.

Xia Feng flipped through these things one by one, his expression turned increasingly dark. In the end, he coldly and angrily said, "Bring all of these things to the hall!"

These items were quickly piled in front of Ling Zhang. Xia Feng walked forward and said: "Master, I found many suspicious things in Dong Shan and Dong Song's room, among them there is something that both of them have, a large pouch with one hundred ounces of silver. That pouch's embroidery looks exactly the same as the foot of the formation, and it came from the same person. And they are hidden in corner that is difficult to notice.

When Xia Feng said this, both Dong Shan and Dong Song's faces became paler and paler. Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, they did not dare to raise their heads to look at Ling Zhang.

"Young master, the embroidered method of these pouches looks very much like the clothes worn on Jia Yuanling's body and the embroidered method of these pouches was done by the embroidery lady, Wang Sanniang, who was by Jia Yuanling's side. She once sent you an embroidered handkerchief, do you remember?” Xia Feng continued.

How could he not remember? Ling Zhang looked at Dong Shan and Dong Song as if they were two inanimate objects, a bloodthirsty killing intent flashed past his eyes.

"Please spare me, please spare me! We do not dare to do so again, young master, please spare us! " Dong Song was the first to cry and beg for mercy.

Dong Shan's face was as white as a ghost's, he raised his head and met Ling Zhang's gaze, his entire body shivered when he met that cold gaze, and could no longer hold on, "Young Master, Young Master, spare me!"

Spare their lives? If he spared them, who would spare the lives of dozens of Ling Family's people in his previous life?

"Shut their mouths." Ling Zhang said calmly.

But the calmer his tone was, the more terrified everyone in the room was. Even Xia Feng did not dare to speak, and brought a few servants with him to gag Dong Shan and Dong Song.

There was an oppressive force in the hall that pressed down on their hearts. No one dared to even breathe.

"A bowl of poison for each person, send them to death." Ling Zhang said.

Dong! Dong Song weakly collapsed onto the ground, his head hitting the ground, producing a sound, his eyes turning white.

"Young master …" Xia Feng wanted to say something, but when he met with Ling Zhang's gaze, his heart trembled, and he did not dare to say the remaining words out.

"Shall I beg you for this?" Ling Zhang said coldly.

Xia Feng lowered his head: "I don't dare, I'll go get the medicine now."

"Mm, don't startle my grandpa. If someone accidentally sees you, tell them the medicine is for curing diseases." Ling Zhang said.

"Yes, I know what to do now." Xia Feng lowered his head and retreated.

The remaining four servants all lowered their heads, holding onto Dong Shan and Dong Song with all their might, not daring to raise their heads for even a moment.

Xia Feng did things very quickly, soon he finished preparing the medicine and carried it over.

As he was holding the medicine, Xia Feng had already regained his composure, "Young master, the medicine is ready."

Seeing that he had recovered his composure so quickly, Ling Zhang felt a bit unexpected. Xia Feng had been by his side for so many years, perhaps he was his servant, his personality is similar with him in the past, kind and weak. He thought that Xia Feng would complain to the antechamber because he couldn't take it anymore. But he didn’t and prepared the medicine.

It looks like he had not dug up the other side of Xia Feng in the past.

In this world, there really was no one who was truly weak. This was also good. The road he was going to walk was a bloody path, and the people beside him also be brave.

"Let them drink, not a single drop is allowed to leak out." Ling Zhang said indifferently.

Dong Song had already fainted and showed no reaction. Dong Shan struggled with all his might, and looked at Ling Zhang as if he was looking at a terrifying ghost.

Once the cloth was taken away, Dong Shan shouted loudly, "Don't, Young Master, spare me, spare me …"

Before he could even finish speaking, Xia Feng had already pinched both of his cheeks and poured a bowl of medicine into his mouth!

Dong Shan continuously struggled, but to no avail, the pill could not be spat out after being swallowed.

After a long while, Dong Shan started to react. Not only was white foam at the mouth, his entire body was trembling uncontrollably. After the duration of drinking a cup of tea, he died.

Dong Song also quickly followed in Dong Shan's footsteps.

Ling Zhang sat on the upper seat and watched quietly, as if he was not seeing the two lives die, but rather the most ordinary and indifferent performance.

With his calmness, the other people couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Wrap them up and send them to the unmarked cemetery."

Xia Feng's body trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and answered calmly, "Yes."

"Take them away."

Xia Feng and his four servants quickly carried away the two corpses.

The moment they walked out of the hall, a light breeze blew past them. The five of them, including Xia Feng, shuddered at the same time.

Xia Feng lifted his hand to take a look, and started to tremble.

Every master would prepare that kind of medicine in his home, it is a secret known to all. The only difference was that some families were cruel, and several people would die in a year. But people in Ling Family had never seen such a thing as today, so instead, the medicine was only given to people as a symbol to intimidate them. Today was the first time Xia Feng knew what kind of effect the medicine had after being consumed.

The young master was different. Since he followed the young master for so many years, he could fell that difference more than anyone else. This was also the reason why he hesitated for so long in the small kitchen. While In the end, he chose to listen to his young master's instructions and brought the medicine over.

With that thought, Xia Feng's face sunk. Clenching his fists, he placed his trembling hands behind him and said to the other four: "You all have seen what happened today, I think you all should know what kind of things you can say and what not. You all have sold yourselves to the Ling Family, and the indenture contract is in your hands. If you want to survive, then shut your mouth.

The four of them trembled, and looked at each other, gritting their teeth and nodding: "Brother Xia Feng, don't worry, we all know that we won't say anything. Since they betrayed young master, causing him to be placed in such a dangerous situation, this will be their retribution. "

"That’s good. You guys know what kind of person Young Master is, you know very well that he has never been harsh on any of you, this time the reason why Young Master is so angry is because these two people did unforgivable things. As long as you guys stay honest and loyal, then Young Master will naturally not do anything to you." Xia Feng said.

"Brother Xia Feng, we understand." The four secretly let out a sigh of relief and said.

"Go, do as the Young Master said, wrap them up in a white cloth and throw them at the unmarked cemetery. Remember, if you are discovered, just say that they died from an emergency. " Xia Feng warned.

"Yes sir!"

After Ling Zhang finished listening to this conversation in the distance, he slowly turned around and left.
