Chapter 967 A Stranger Delivers Food
Zhang Jinyan's mind was a complete mess!
He himself was imprisoned in the imperial prison, his wife and daughters were imprisoned in the Shuntian Prefecture prison, the Vice Minister's residence was confiscated, and the concubines and illegitimate children in the residence...
Well, those concubines and illegitimate children... even if they don't die, they'll be exiled or sold by the government.
I can barely take care of myself right now, let alone them. Let them leave it to fate!
Not long ago, he was also secretly interrogated.
Now, it's clear that my whole family is doomed to die!
The root cause of all this lies with his own good son-in-law—Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi!
She devoted herself to him and even married her eldest daughter to him!
She was single-mindedly plotting for his throne, and it was for his sake that she offended the current emperor!
But what about him?
When he was imprisoned, Xiao Jingyi, as his son-in-law, not only did not save his father-in-law, but also divorced his daughter without hesitation and abandoned his family like trash!
OK!
Xiao Jingyi!
Xiao Jingyi!
Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
If I die, you won't live either!
If the fish die, the net will break too!
Do you still want me to protect you, Xiao Jingyi, to the very end?
Will I keep your mouth shut for you?
cant!
If I don't bite you to death, Xiao Jingyi, then I, Zhang Jinyan, will have wasted my breath!
In a secret interrogation, Zhang Jinyan spoke frankly and without reservation!
The moment he pressed his fingerprint, Zhang Jinyan felt as if all the bones in his body had been removed, all his energy and spirit drained away. He collapsed onto the weeds in the cell, staring blankly at the stain on the cell ceiling with empty, lifeless eyes...
Even now, Zhang Jinyan remains slumped in the same position, with the same empty gaze, and has not moved an inch.
Even the sound of the jailer leading his men approaching couldn't make Zhang Jinyan, lying on the tangled grass, even blink or twitch.
"Criminal Zhang Jinyan, someone has brought you food!"
Get up quickly!
The jailer stood outside the cell door and shouted something.
Zhang Jinyan didn't move or respond!
“Criminal Zhang Jinyan, didn’t you hear what I, the prison warden, said?”
Don't pretend you're deaf, and don't put on airs like a high-ranking official!
It's a blessing that someone brings you food; every meal you eat is one less you'll have, so stop pretending to be dead!
Get up, do you hear me?
As the jailer spoke, he lashed the cell door with his whip.
Zhang Jinyan still didn't make a move.
The jailer was getting angry and was about to step forward to beat and scold him when the Wang family member next to him quickly reached out to stop him and secretly slipped him a purse.
Sir, please don't be angry!
Please open the prison door so I can bring in food and wine for my husband and say a few words to him.
"I am deeply grateful for your kindness! I am deeply grateful for your kindness!"
The jailer turned and glanced at the Wang family member, then put his purse in his pocket, unlocked the door with his key, and said, "Hurry up, don't waste any time. I'll make things easy for you, so don't cause me any trouble!"
"Understood! Understood!"
The servant delivered the food, said a few words, and left!
The jailer nodded, crossed his arms, and leaned against the doorframe, watching.
The Wang family member thanked him again before carrying the food box into the cell and walking to Zhang Jinyan's side.
"Master, you've suffered so much!"
I am a servant of the Wang family, and I have been instructed by the old master and old lady to bring you wine and food, my lord.
Also, starting tomorrow, I will be the one to bring you food and drinks, son-in-law.
As he spoke, the man grabbed a handful of grass to use as a broom, cleared a small space around Zhang Jinyan, laid out the food from the food box, and poured himself a cup of wine.
"Master, please get up and have some!"
The younger one cannot stay long and must leave soon.
If I leave, there will be no one to serve you!
Uncle! Uncle!
Did you hear what the little one said?
"Young Master?"
The Wang family's commotion finally made Zhang Jinyan, who was lying flat on the ground, move.
The so-called "movement" was just moving the eyeballs and blinking the dry eyelids.
"Master-in-law!"
The man called out again.
Zhang Jinyan slowly turned his head to look at the person who addressed him as "Master-in-law"...
do not know.
Zhang Jinyan looked at the stranger and saw that the stranger was looking at him with great enthusiasm.
Suddenly, I smelled the aroma of food again...
Zhang Jinyan turned to look at the set of cups, plates, and bowls on the ground beside him. After a long while, a cold smile appeared on his expressionless face.
The first thought that popped into Zhang Jinyan's mind was:
This is the last meal before I'm executed!
To be honest, Zhang Jinyan really hit the nail on the head!
After eating several meals of stale soup and black bread, Zhang Jinyan suddenly felt that after eating this last meal, death... wasn't so terrible!
Zhang Jinyan slowly sat up, crossed his legs, and stared straight at the person opposite him.
"Who are you?
"Who sent you to deliver this last meal before your execution?"
Zhang Jinyan's question was asked without any emotional fluctuation.
“Master, I am a servant from your wife’s family. My name is Wang Gui.”
"A servant from my wife's family?"
"The Wang family?"
Zhang Jinyan narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Yep!"
The man nodded hurriedly.
A cold smile crept onto Zhang Jinyan's lips once again.
"You say you're from the Wang family, but I've never seen you before!"
