The big hand reached in through the open collar, and as soon as the slightly cool fingertips touched the girl's warm and smooth skin, both of them trembled immediately...
"Master! Guard Kong is here to see you!" Suddenly, Pang Yi's voice came from outside.
"Get out!" Zhong Mingwei shouted angrily outside. When he turned around, Mei Ya had already crawled into the quilt. He was busy trying to lift the quilt and get in, but was kicked out by Mei Ya. Zhong Mingwei wanted to get in again. Pang Yi started yelling outside again. Zhong Mingwei was so angry that he almost exploded. He lay on the kang with his arms and legs spread out. He said angrily, "Move! Move! Move tomorrow!"
…
Why did Kong Wenmin come to visit suddenly? Because he received a secret letter from the capital this morning, and after discussing it with Fang Zuotang, it was a matter of great importance. So in the evening, Kong Wenmin went up the mountain in person.
Zhong Mingwei tidied up the bedroom, and when he came out, Kong Wenmin had been waiting in the yard for a while. Mei Ya was in the bedroom. Zhong Mingwei naturally didn't want Kong Wenmin to enter the room. He left the room immediately. Fortunately, the tables and chairs in the yard had not been tidied up yet. It was just right to entertain guests in the yard.
Kong Wenmin watched Zhong Mingwei limp out of the house. This was the first time Kong Wenmin had seen Zhong Mingwei since he came to Ningguta. He only knew that Zhong Mingwei was severely disabled, but he never thought that Zhong Mingwei would have such a hard time walking. He couldn't help but wonder, didn't they say that a famous doctor was invited from Yanshe? How come he had to hold on to the wall to walk after being treated for half a year? Kong Wenmin recalled the elegance of Zhong Mingwei when he was in the capital, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this time. The deposed prince really suffered a lot in Ningguta.
"Sir, I am Kong Wenmin, the subordinate of Commander Ma, and I am here to greet you." When Zhong Mingwei approached, Kong Wenmin hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Get up," Zhong Mingwei nodded, and while being helped by Pang Yi to sit down, he looked at Kong Wenmin, "You sit down too."
"Yes." Kong Wenmin also sat on the simple bench. He looked at Pang Yi holding two large porcelain bowls of jasmine tea and placing them in front of him and Zhong Mingwei respectively. He sighed in his heart again. The deposed prince's life was too miserable. He had to use such a rough tea bowl and drink such inferior tea.
As if he had seen through Kong Wenmin's thoughts, Pang Yi also sat down and said with a smile, "We are about to move, so we haven't bought new tea sets for the time being. Guard Kong, please don't be disgusted."
"Brother Pang, what are you talking about?" Kong Wenmin said hurriedly, turning to look at Zhong Mingwei, "Sir, I came here today to discuss something important with you in person."
Zhong Mingwei knew that Kong Wenmin would not come up the mountain if it was not an important matter, but seeing Kong Wenmin's serious face, his heart still skipped a beat. He put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked slowly, "Did something big happen in the capital?"
Ever since the incident with the Eight Tigers of the Jiang Family, the Imperial Guards and Zhong Mingwei have reached a tacit understanding. Now the Imperial Guards will inform Zhong Mingwei of many things, and the lord has also ordered the Imperial Guards to protect Zhong Mingwei to the death, so Kong Wenmin and Kong Wenjie's attitude towards Zhong Mingwei is naturally completely different from before.
"Everything is calm in the capital, but I'm afraid something big is going to happen in Ningguta," said Kong Wenmin.
Zhong Mingwei gently stroked the tea bowl with his fingertips, and asked slowly after a while: "Is it related to the major case of 20 years ago?"
"Yes, Master, you really get it right away," Kong Wenmin said hurriedly, pausing for a moment before adding seriously, "Since Master arrived in Ningguta last year, we have tried our best to ensure that the news does not leak out. But Master, you also know that how many people who were exiled from the capital to Ningguta are ordinary people? So the fact that Master went to Ningguta cannot be kept secret forever. There are many exiled criminals living in the northwest forest farm of Ningguta. According to convention, the Imperial Guards will conduct a survey of the forest farm every month. There has been no trouble for many years, but this month more than ten steel knives were found in the forest farm. Lord Fang and I took it very seriously. After severely torturing him, we learned that it was an official involved in a major case in the past 20 years. He wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate Master. Fortunately, he was discovered by the Imperial Guards in advance, but now I think about it, I am still scared."
