Chapter 35 Tattoo and Branding

The man in Tsing Yi narrowed his eyes tightly, and once again looked at Ning Wanzhu standing in front of him neither humble nor overbearing.The little girl in front of her is just an immature girl. Although she can see a beauty embryo between her eyebrows and eyes, she hasn't grown up yet.It's just that this girl's eyes are extremely beautiful, black and white are distinct, as clear as autumn water, but in those clear eyes, there is a sense of freedom and magnanimity.

The man in Tsing Yi suddenly felt that he couldn't underestimate the little girl in front of him. The "son of an important official in Beijing" she mentioned just now was like a bait thrown at him. He clearly felt that this little girl might not know what was going on inside , but at this moment, he suddenly felt a little hard to refuse.

Thinking of this, the man in Tsing Yi walked straight in front of Ning Wanzhu, lowered his head and looked down at Ning Wanzhu's face, and said, "Little girl, what qualifications or abilities do you think you have to negotiate terms with me?"

Ning Wanzhu had already prepared the manuscript, and was waiting for the person in Tsing Yi to ask this question.

"Your Excellency is most worried about three things right now. And these three things, I, Ning Family Zhuangzi, may be able to solve one or two for you." Ning Wanzhu looked at the man in Tsing Yi with bright eyes, and threw out another A bait.

"Oh?" The other party's reaction was very vague, he didn't know if he was hooked or not.

"The first one, there is a very important person around you who has suffered a serious trauma and needs medical treatment. My Ning family has already given up the front yard for this, and all the things you need, as long as I have them in my house, they will be satisfied." Give everything to help Your Excellency save people." Ning Wanzhu said the first thing.The guards behind the man in Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and looked at each other with expressions of relief.Seeing this, Ning Wanzhu was secretly delighted, knowing that this first step was the right one.

"The second thing is someone who knows how to paint that your Excellency needs." Ning Wanzhu paused and said: "The grandfather Du and I who just went out are the masters of Nanyang pyrography who are famous all over the world." The only inheritor of the skill." She said this with an exaggerated meaning in it, who knows how many people in Nanyang City still know how to do pyrography.Her own skills are not even proficient, and she said it just to bluff people at the moment.

Unexpectedly, the man in Tsing Yi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "You actually know how to do pyrography?"

Ning Wanzhu sighed in her heart that she was lucky, and the other party didn't say anything to torture her about the authenticity of what she said, but showed a very interested look.

"Then tell me, what's the third one?" The man in Tsing Yi's eyes were blazing, and he seemed to be becoming more and more interested in the bait he threw.In the so-called negotiation, you must always show your own strength and will, and you must have something that the other party likes.

Ning Wanzhu raised her head slightly, pointed at the blue cloth handkerchief on the face of the man in Tsing Yi, and said, "The third thing is that you don't want people to know that everything that happened in this village, it's best for others to know." I never knew that Your Excellency had been here before Zhuangzishang."

The man in Tsing Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile, "What are you going to do with the third one?"

Ning Wanzhu thought for a while and said: "I am the head of the Ning family village, so I naturally have a way to restrain the whole village and keep my mouth shut. As for the villagers in the Du family village, they are all simple people, you don't have to I am worried. I, Ningjiazhuang, have agreed to all the above three things, and I hope that you will restrain your subordinates and work with us to ensure the safety of everyone in the village." Ning Wanzhu also included her request Speak up.What she and everyone in Zhuangzi wanted was nothing more than the word "peace".

Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi let out a snort, laughed, and said, "Little girl, you were just identified just now." He looked up as if he wanted to find the person who had just identified Ning Wanzhu's understanding of painting in the crowd, "You You are still talking to me here, telling me that you can restrain everyone in the Ning Family Village."

Ning Wanzhu suddenly became dumb, she forgot about her arch-enemy Aunt Shao, Aunt Shao's voice just now was really a bad thing!

Unexpectedly, all the female relatives of Ningjiazhuang behind were suddenly led by Ye Momo, and they all knelt down in the direction of Ning Wanzhu and the man in Tsing Yi. Don't get me wrong, I'm waiting for Zhuangzi's family members, but Miss Ning's order is my only obedience."

Ning Wanzhu looked back and saw that Aunt Shao was covering her mouth with Mo Mei, and several servants next to her knelt down while pressing her down.Everyone in the Ning family's Zhuangzi knew that only Ning Wanzhu could protect the people in the Zhuangzi at the moment, so naturally what Ning Wanzhu said would be what he said.Anything against Ning Wanzhu, quickly shut her up.

Just as he was talking, the male servants in the outer courtyard, led by Ning Yongqiang, also leaned down and said similar things.

"Okay!" The man in Tsing Yi looked at Ning Wanzhu with some playful eyes. "Miss Ning just promised three things, would you give me a high-five as an oath?"

Ning Wanzhu smiled and said: "Your Excellency has the upper hand right now, and I am only doing my best for Your Excellency. If you are willing to believe, then you will believe it. What's the use of high-fiving your oath?"

The smile in the eyes of the man in Tsing Yi became stronger, and he said: "It's hard to raise a woman and a villain! Miss Ning has both, I have to be careful."

When Ning Wanzhu heard this, she looked around her. She was a ten-year-old girl, and she was indeed a "woman and a villain". When she heard this, she almost burst out laughing, feeling nervous and frightened. , suddenly faded a bit.She smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack" three palms, Ning Wanzhu's is nearly two heads shorter than the man in Tsing Yi, and he stretched his arms as far as he could to reach the young man.Although Ning Wanzhu couldn't see the face of the man in Tsing Yi at this time, she felt for no reason that under the blue cloth handkerchief, the corner of the man's mouth was smiling, which seemed to be slightly less hostile.

Ning Wanzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since the covenant is here, can Miss Ning come with me now?" The man in Tsing Yi invited again.

Ning Wanzhu nodded and took a step forward. Mother Ye got up at this moment and followed behind her, looking like protecting the chicks, but was stopped by the man in Tsing Yi. "Miss Ning, this is for your consideration. The fewer people in the past, the better. If you need anything, we will send a message for someone. I think the Ning family here will listen to your orders."

Ning Wanzhu knew that what this person said was true, so she nodded her head when she saw that he was speaking carefully, and said to Nanny Ye, "You stay here and take charge of the affairs of Zhuangzi, don't worry about me."

When Aunt Shao heard Ning Wanzhu say this in front of everyone, her face turned purple again, but she was held down by several servants for a while, no matter how purple she turned, no one else could see her.

Ning Wanzhu followed the man in green to the outer courtyard. Just as they turned around and walked out of the gate of the inner courtyard, the guards behind them immediately turned around and surrounded Ning Wanzhu, protecting her into the outer hall.The outer hall was brightly lit, and was divided into small rooms by curtains.The man in Tsing Yi brought Ning Wanzhu to a tent, turned around and stopped suddenly, met Ning Wanzhu's eyes, and said in his mouth, "You...are you afraid of blood?"

Ning Wanzhu nodded, but said firmly, "I'm prepared!"

The man in Tsing Yi was a little surprised when he heard the words, took a deep look at her, and then said: "After you enter the door, pay attention to the tattoo marks on the faces and the patterns on the body of the people inside." Wan Zhu went in.

A middle-aged man in prison clothes was lying on a soft couch in the tent.This person is over forty years old, with a short beard, his eyes are closed, his face is like gold paper, he seems to be deeply asleep.And the prison uniform on his chest was opened, revealing a bowl-sized wound on his right chest, which seemed to have stopped the bleeding, and the blood condensed on the wound was dark brown.

When Ning Wanzhu saw this person, she was taken aback and stopped suddenly.

She actually knew this person!
To be more precise, she had met this person in her previous life.

The person on the couch in front of him was named Xia Weizhe, who was once one of the three orphans, the official to the second rank, and also the most loyal minister to Prince Renxi.Before Ning Wanzhu got married, he had met this man at a family banquet in the Ning Mansion. His father, Ning Yu, highly respected this gentleman, thinking that he was a "Wei Zongchen" and a leader of scholars.

However, not long after Ning Wanzhu was locked into the family temple by Chang Shining, she once heard that the emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince and establish the king of Han, but Xia Weizhe tried hard to persuade her but failed, and finally crashed to death under the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.The emperor hesitated because of the objections of the ministers, but in the end he never issued an edict to abolish the prince. In the end, the king of Han proclaimed himself emperor, and he also usurped the throne after the death of the emperor.

Looking at the "Famous Minister of Taiping" on the couch in front of him, Ning Wanzhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart - so young!Xia Weizhe is so young at this time!

Xia Weizhe, whom she had met before, probably worked hard to teach the prince, and before he turned fifty, his beard and hair were all gray.And the Xia Weizhe in front of him has exactly the same appearance as in his impression, but he looks more than ten years younger, and his face is much softer, unlike the one that Ning Wanzhu saw in his previous life, with iron bones and extremely rigid.

Seeing Ning Wanzhu carefully sizing up the person on the couch, the man in Tsing Yi showed a slight surprise on his face, but he didn't say a word, and quietly observed Ning Wanzhu from the side.

I saw Ning Wanzhu slowly coming to Xia Weizhe, and began to look at the marks on his face and body.On Xia Weizhe's face, there were two rows of cyan characters tattooed impressively, one side was "thorn match" and the other side was "Liuzhou".Ning Wanzhu was even more frightened while watching. In the previous life, Xia Weizhe may have experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be "assassinated" in Liuzhou.

Then look at Xia Weizhe's open chest, on the uninjured right chest, there was a mark branded with something like a branding iron.Ning Wanzhu couldn't tell what kind of pattern this is, it looks like flowers but not flowers, like trees but not trees, with vines and vines, like coral branches, but the patterns are very complicated.It seems that Xia Weizhe also has such a mark on his left chest, which is symmetrical on both sides, but the left mark is mostly covered by the bowl-sized wound, leaving only some peripheral patterns.

Such a mark on Xia Weizhe's body must have been caused by great pain.I saw the brand marks on his body, which were received about ten days ago, and the scabs had already formed, and some of the scabs fell off, revealing new pink flesh. Under the light of an oil lamp, it looked particularly terrifying.

Ning Wanzhu couldn't help gasping, and thought: This is not to let her brand the exact same pattern on others, right?
