First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 360 Food and Drinks

Zhang Peng's eyes became more fierce and perverse.

"Since you don't take my kind words seriously, then you can die here!" Zhang Peng said hatefully. He gave the guard a look and said, "Go ahead!"

The guard hesitated, "Zhang Dianshi, this might not be a good idea!" Beating someone is one thing, but killing someone is another!

"Mr. Zhou has already said that I will be solely responsible for this matter! Just do whatever I tell you to do!" Zhang Peng shouted. "I will bear all the responsibility!"

Madam Qu couldn't help laughing when she heard it, "My lord, I'm afraid it wasn't Lord Zhou's intention to kill me!" She was a very smart woman. As soon as she heard it, she knew that it was this so-called Zhang Dianshi who acted on his own. She looked at the guard who was carrying out the execution, "My lord, I'm just an ordinary woman. It's not a pity to die, but this Lord Zhang wants to frame Lord Xie. If I die, he won't be able to frame me, and you can't escape the blame when Lord Xie investigates in the future! If he wants to kill me, he can do it himself. There's no need for you to get involved in such a dirty thing! Besides, he said he would be responsible, but he didn't even touch a hair on my body. In the future, he will push it all onto you. Do you think you are wronged? You just work for the government office, but you don't deserve to be charged with murder!"

The guard was shaken. He looked at Madam Qu and then at Zhang Peng. "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid this matter needs to be reported to Lord Zhou! I cannot make decisions on my own!" After weighing the pros and cons, the guard said.

Madam Qu was right. He was Lord Zhou's bodyguard. Although Lord Zhou had told him to follow behind Dianshi Zhang and do his work today, it was just doing the work and there was no need to kill anyone. Besides, if he really did it, Dianshi Zhang would push all the responsibility onto him in the future. Where would he go to seek justice?

After figuring it out, he took several steps back and simply threw away the whip in his hand.

"Good-for-nothing!" Zhang Peng cursed, "Get lost!"

"Yes!" The guard wished this was the case. He clasped his fist and walked out quickly.

He had just reached the end of the corridor when he felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if a drop of water had dripped into his collar.

Then his body went limp and he collapsed in the prison corridor.

Just when he was about to fall to the ground, a black figure quickly approached, reached out to catch his body, and then pulled him to the dark side.

Not long after, Wei Dong changed into the clothes of a guard and walked out from the darkness. He first quickly went to the gate of the prison, opened the door from the inside, let two maids in, and then strode into the interrogation room with the two maids.

Zhang Peng was approaching Madam Qu with a knife in his hand. When he heard footsteps, he turned around.

Wei Dong stood at the door of the interrogation room, his face hidden in the shadows in front of the door.

"Why are you back again?" Zhang Peng was slightly startled when he saw the guard.

"Lord Zhou, please give us some wine and food." Wei Dong deliberately lowered his voice, trying to make his voice sound like that of the guard just now.

Zhang Peng was confused and didn't listen carefully to see if there was any difference in the guard's voice from before.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Peng frowned. Why would he give such a nice feast?

Wei Dong turned his body to the side, and two women dressed as maids followed him, holding a tray in their hands.

"I shouldn't speculate on what Lord Zhou meant," Wei Dong said.

Su Jixiang lowered his head, holding a tray, and walked into the interrogation room with Qu Wanning, one in front and one behind.

"Your Excellency, Lord Zhou just came back from drinking and brought some wine and food for you to taste. He ordered the servants to deliver them to Lord Zhang." Su Jixiang said.

Zhang Peng turned and stared at Su Jixiang.

Xie Yingfeng was trapped in the government office, and most of the maids and servants in the office were also imprisoned.

What Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning were wearing were not the clothes of the maids in the government office, because he was the one who personally led those maids there when they were imprisoned.

Zhang Peng walked over and asked suspiciously, "Where are you from?"

"My lord, I am from Lord Cui's house. Lord Zhou happened to be having dinner at my house just now. He thought the wine and food were good, so he ordered a little more and asked the servants to bring it over." Su Jixiang said.

Zhang Peng thought about it and realized that Lord Zhou was indeed invited by Lord Cui Yushan to have a drink today, so he nodded.

"Put it down!" He pointed to the table over there.

Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning put down the food and wine, then lowered their heads and walked out.

Su Jixiang glanced at Madam Qu.

Although Madam Qu was in so much pain that she had no strength or energy left, she still recognized Su Jixiang's voice the moment Su Jixiang opened his mouth.

Her eyes lit up.

The moment Su Jixiang looked at her, she returned a look to Su Jixiang!

Su Jixiang didn't say anything else, he just lowered his head and left.

When Madam Qu saw Su Jixiang coming in person, she knew that nothing would happen to her tonight!

She immediately felt more at ease.

Wei Dong also followed Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning and pretended to retreat to the cell door. Then he flashed and quietly returned to the outside of the interrogation room.

He held a hidden weapon in his hand, and if Zhang Peng dared to do anything that would harm Madam Qu, he would take action immediately!

Of course, this is only a measure that will be used when there is no other choice.

Zhang Peng looked at the food and wine on the table, then looked at Madam Qu, and couldn't help but sneer, "You won't survive this night anyway. Why don't you wait until I finish my meal before sending you on your way!"

The food and wine on the table smelled so good and were piping hot, as if they had just come out of the pot.

The fragrant aroma of the food penetrated into his nostrils, making the appetite in his stomach churn.

It was now late at night, and several hours had passed since dinner. Zhang Peng's stomach was indeed rumbling.

Seeing that there was no one around, he simply sat down and took out the food and wine from the tray and food box.

A portion of deep-fried tea tree duck, a portion of braised pork and eggs, a portion of braised carp, a portion of mixed stir-fry, plus a pot of good rice wine!

The duck was fried crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fragrance of tea diluted the greasiness and brought out the tenderness of the duck meat. Zhang Peng couldn't stop after just one bite!

This dish is so delicious too!

As he had things to do, he didn't dare drink, but he ate all the dishes to his heart's content.

When he was only halfway through his meal, he began to feel a little dizzy. As soon as he said "Oh no", he fell straight down beside the table!
