Chapter 969 The Arsenal and Prison are Filled with the Aroma of Wine and Meat
The Wang family member glanced at Zhang Jinyan, and seeing that Zhang Jinyan's expression hadn't changed at all after hearing half of his words, he had no choice but to continue, "Master, after I've tasted the dishes for you, please relax and enjoy your meal. Don't overthink it. I'll bring you the meal again tomorrow, and then you'll trust me!"
After saying that, the man picked up his chopsticks and took two bites of each dish from the plate.
Then she took out a clean handkerchief from her pocket, carefully wiped the chopsticks again and again, and then neatly placed them on the rim of the bowl before stepping back a little...
"Master, you should be relieved now, right?"
I really didn't lie!
Zhang Jinyan still didn't believe it.
However, Zhang Jinyan did not show it, but simply nodded slightly.
The man glanced at Zhang Jinyan, pointed to the food, and cautiously advised, "Young Master, you'd better hurry..."
"okay!"
Zhang Jinyan interrupted the man.
"Leave the food here for now. I... uh... I'll eat it later. You may leave!"
"Yes, sir!"
Then I'll take my leave!
The man said nothing more, stood up, bowed respectfully to Zhang Jinyan, took two steps back, and turned to leave.
Just then, Zhang Jinyan's still flat voice came from behind: "Please thank your true master for me!"
After saying that, Zhang Jinyan slumped back onto the weeds.
The member of the Wang family stiffened slightly, then stepped out of the cell.
The large padlock on the cell door slammed shut with a loud clang.
Hearing the sound of the lock clicking shut, Zhang Jinyan slowly closed his eyes, neither looking nor moving.
Before long, Zhang Jinyan heard laughter and shouts of drinking games coming from somewhere in the prison...
These sounds, though somewhat abrupt in the silent prison, did not surprise anyone.
After all, whenever a prisoner's family sends food to the prison, how could they not first offer tribute to the prison guards!
Those prison guards must be the ones who get the best treatment!
Zhang Jinyan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still appearing empty and dull.
After a while, Zhang Jinyan slowly sat up and looked down at the bowls and plates on the ground.
Whether these are ordinary meals or last meals, what difference does it make whether you eat them or not?
Since I'm going to die anyway, it's better to die well than to die starving!
Having enjoyed wealth and luxury for half my life, wouldn't it be too unfair to go to the underworld on an empty stomach?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jinyan reached out and grabbed the whole crispy chicken placed in the middle, opened his mouth, and took a big bite...
The crispy chicken has gone completely cold!
Having tasted many delicacies, Zhang Jinyan naturally knew that crispy chicken is most delicious when eaten hot!
But times have changed!
For Zhang Jinyan, who had already eaten spoiled soup and black bread, even cold crispy chicken was an absolute delicacy!
In the past, Zhang Jinyan, the second-ranking official, was picky about fine wines and delicacies. But now he sat cross-legged on the ground covered with messy grass, grabbing a whole chicken and taking big bites. He would occasionally pick up some fish from other dishes, take a sip of wine, and eat and drink without any regard for his image, but he also ate and drank with great enjoyment!
The meal was enough for four or five people to eat their fill, but Zhang Jinyan finished it all by himself!
After letting out a burp, with his belly bulging, Zhang Jinyan turned over and lay back down on the tangled grass, stretching out his limbs and closing his eyes again.
This time it's settled, Zhang Jinyan won't starve to death!
Don't even mention being a glutton who died from overeating, he was practically a glutton who died from overeating!
As time passed, Zhang Jinyan gradually felt panicked and afraid...
Zhang Jinyan began to wait...waiting for the arrival of the Black and White Impermanence...
When the prison was completely plunged into darkness, Zhang Jinyan actually... uh... fell asleep!
At the same time, the same top-class banquet also appeared in the Shuntian Prefecture prison.
As evening approached, the prison guards huddled together, idly muttering to themselves:
Why didn't any of the prisoners' family members bring them food or gifts today?
Just as I was thinking about it, my wish came true!
Their stomachs were rumbling and churning when the food delivery arrived, bringing a top-quality meal from Xiaofeng Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in Beijing!
Several prison guards stared wide-eyed at the large food boxes bearing the Xiaofeng Restaurant logo, practically shoving their eyeballs into the boxes to see what delicacies were inside!
Before you can taste the delicious food, it's a treat to feast your eyes on it first!
The aroma of chicken, duck, fish, and meat wafting through the air made the jailers' mouths twitch upwards and their mouths water uncontrollably!
There were six people who delivered the food, three of whom, judging from their clothes, were waiters from Xiaofeng Restaurant.
The person in charge was a middle-aged woman around fifty years old, followed by two young servants around seventeen or eighteen years old.
The waiter from Xiaofeng Restaurant followed them in, put down the food box he was carrying, and left.
The two servants put down the food box and stepped aside, standing respectfully with their hands at their sides.
Only the woman who led the group, a woman around fifty years old, stepped forward, curtsied to the jailer, and then spoke to him with a smile.
"Thank you all for your hard work!"
The old woman was the head maid of the former Grand Secretary's wife, Lady Wang's, family.
Hearing that my great-aunt and two cousins had suffered a misfortune and were now imprisoned, my grandfather and grandmother were extremely worried and heartbroken!
For the time being... I don't know what to do, so I can only send some food and bedding to let my great-aunt and the two young ladies know that my grandfather and grandmother are thinking of them!
The old woman, under orders from her master, shamelessly begged the gentlemen to do her a favor!
As the head maid spoke, she stepped forward, took out several bulging purses from her sleeve, and handed them to several jailers.
