Chapter 549: Boring Fun

Those who were too inexperienced did not notice the barely perceptible smile that appeared on the corner of the Ninth Prince's mouth as he lowered his head.

When he looked up, the Ninth Prince had already put on a look of shock, and seemed to be hesitant to speak to the yamen runner.

"Ninth Prince, I..." The bailiff touched his head uncomfortably. He felt a little uneasy. He just thought that if he got the money of a dying man for no reason, would he be punished in the future?

So, the yamen runner offered to do something for the Ninth Prince in return.

But the yamen runner was also cautious and told the Ninth Prince, "I can only do my best to help you, but whether I succeed or not... I hope you can forgive me."

The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "I understand. I am already satisfied that you can make this trip for me."

The bailiff felt a little relieved, and then went out to look for someone as the Ninth Prince had said.

After the people left, the Ninth Prince laughed sarcastically. This was for everyone. Did they naively think that they could kill him like this? Impossible.

The bailiff's boasts in front of the Ninth Prince almost disappeared when he left the cell.

Fortunately, the Ninth Prince did not really want him to find the emperor. In comparison, finding Fan Zhengde was much easier.

"Eunuch Fan!" The bailiff arrived at the place mentioned by the ninth prince, and soon saw a man coming. He did not recognize the man, but the joy he saw made him exclaim in surprise.

"Keep your voice down!" Fan Zhengde shouted immediately after hearing the sound.

The yamen runner immediately covered his mouth. He had never done such sneaky things before and didn't know how to behave. At this moment, he completely listened to Fan Zhengde's words and did whatever the other party told him to do.

"for you!"

Before the yamen runner could tell the Ninth Prince's request, Fan Zhengde directly handed him something.

The bailiff took it with suspicion and asked what it was.

"Just give this to the Ninth Prince." Fan Zhengde said and was about to leave.

After a moment of silence, the bailiff immediately grabbed Fan Zhengde's clothes.

"Let go!" At that moment, Fan Zhengde felt a chill all over his body, causing the yamen runner to let go unconsciously.

"Go back and tell the Ninth Prince that everything has been done. Now it's up to him." Fan Zhengde said with a bad look on his face.

Fan Zhengde was disgusted with the fact that the Ninth Prince had found such an unruly person.

"Eunuch Fan, what are you talking about?" The yamen runner was genuinely confused, not knowing what was happening. He still remembered the Ninth Prince's words, "The Ninth Prince simply wanted to see the Emperor one last time."

After hearing this, Fan Zhengde paused for a rare moment, then sneered.

Fan Zhengde had no intention of kindly giving an explanation to the yamen runner who had been deceived by the nonsense.

"Ninth Prince, you still want to put on a show of loving father and filial son?" Fan Zhengde's sarcasm was not concealed. "Your work is done. Let's go."

After saying this, Fan Zhengde left without mercy.

Leaving the bewildered yamen runner standing there.

At this moment, he also understood that there was some conspiracy between the Ninth Prince and Fan Zhengde. In short, the Ninth Prince's claim of wanting to see the Emperor must be false.

It was not a pleasant feeling to be fooled. The yamen runner even thought that since the Ninth Prince had deceived him, he did not need to work for him anymore. His execution in the afternoon had nothing to do with him.

The Ninth Prince, who was in prison and estimated that the time was almost up, did not wait for the arrival of the bailiff.

But the Ninth Prince still looked unhurried. The food in front of him was not delicious at all. The Ninth Prince just stuffed a few pieces into his mouth and stirred it quite boredly.

It seemed that the Ninth Prince was extremely happy after seeing the food, which originally had recognizable shapes, turned into a pool of unrecognizable stuff.

If Anliu saw this scene, he would definitely praise the Ninth Prince without hesitation, "You are indeed a pervert. Your hobbies are always so unique."

However, the Ninth Prince had no clear understanding of this.

After everything was stirred to the point of being irreconcilable, the Ninth Prince threw away his chopsticks and lay flat on the ground without hesitation.

At this time, someone finally arrived late.

"Ninth Prince, why did you lie to me?"

The man who came was the yamen runner who did not want to help the Ninth Prince. However, after he came back, he kept wondering why and wanted to know what the Ninth Prince was up to.

Thinking that the Ninth Prince was about to be beheaded, why not show off his power in front of him? Maybe the Ninth Prince would even beg him humbly?

There are not many such good opportunities, so the yamen runner appeared here again.

The Ninth Prince did not stand up after hearing the sound, but instead lay on his side, still with a deceptive smile on his face. "How can you say that? When did I ever lie to you?"

The Ninth Prince refused to admit what he had said. The yamen runner was angry and told the Ninth Prince everything that happened after he met Fan Zhengde.

"Then why can't he be lying to you?" the Ninth Prince asked slowly.

“…” The bailiff hesitated for a moment, but soon he determined that the person who deceived him was the Ninth Prince.

Because the Ninth Prince's attitude was too relaxed, to a level that no ordinary person could be in, the yamen runners were more willing to believe Fan Zhengde's words than Fan Zhengde.

"It seems that you have also made your choice." While he was silent, the Ninth Prince had arrived in front of the yamen runner without him knowing when.

Without saying anything else, the Ninth Prince extended his hand to the yamen runner and asked, "Can you give me the things?"

At that moment, the yamen runner took a defensive posture and moved away from the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince's eyes moved, and then he stared at the bailiff without blinking.

"I... I didn't take it..." The bailiff turned his eyes away and didn't look at the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince laughed again at this time, attracting the attention of the yamen runners.

"Have you found the money?" the Ninth Prince suddenly said, "You didn't lose anything on this trip. You took my money and made the journey for me. It's only right that you did. If you didn't give it to me, I might become a ghost after I die."

These words were exactly the same as what the yamen runner had thought before, so after hearing what the Ninth Prince said, he immediately handed over the things that Fan Zhengde had given him.

Even the yamen runner was a little anxious and hurried, saying quickly to the Ninth Prince, "Ninth Prince, now that we have settled the deal, please don't... don't retaliate against me."

The Ninth Prince took the item and nodded casually, "Of course. Don't worry, even if I become a ghost, I won't look for you."

A grown man was afraid of ghosts and gods. Although the Ninth Prince sneered at his childishness, he also enjoyed it.

As the time of beheading drew nearer, the Ninth Prince lost interest in teasing people and sent them away without any emotion.

The yamen runners were eager to get away from this man who looked a little crazy, and left the place without mercy.

Not long after this person left, the Ninth Prince, who had just been entertaining others, died instantly.
