章 244: Fall

Zhai Heng's questions stumped the servants who were responsible for bringing the water into the courtyard, it was not that they were willing to come into this courtyard either the reason they came dragging this cart here was because they were ordered to do so, if not then who would be willing to come to this courtyard where someone died? 

" We did not know anything," the eunuch who was the one leading the others said agitatedly as he wrung his hands and his shrill voice continued to grow more and more shrill as he looked at the ground under his lowered head. " We were simply doing what we were asked to do and nothing more." 

"That's right," the other eunuchs who were worried that they will be dragged into trouble also spoke up one after another. " We only did what the leader of the kitchen ordered us and nothing more, if we knew that this place was barred from entering we wouldn't have done so!"
