Chapter 208: Don’t talk about Lord Song!
Jun Liluo was suddenly speechless.
When Yun Chu said this, it seemed as if he was restless.
After she sat down, she picked up the memorial paper with a focused look on her face. He didn't want to disturb her any more.
For the next half hour, the two of them stopped talking until Song Yunchu finished reading the last letter on his desk and then stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have completed my mission today. The pile on the right is all useless. You can check them later. The ones on the left are more important. By the way, Gong Mingyuan submitted a memorial, saying that Yuzhou's flood prevention and control is good. Mr. Ye's flood control strategy is really useful. He is a talent and deserves your attention."
As Song Yunchu spoke, he handed Gong Mingyuan's memorial to Jun Liluo.
Jun Li Luo took it and looked at it, a hint of joy appeared on his face, "Very good, let them come back in a few days, and let the local government handle the aftermath. Before, Gong Mingyuan always quarreled with others, and I wanted to punish him and fined him a year's salary. Now seeing that he is doing his job conscientiously and even caught a cold while working on the river, I should give him some comfort. When he comes back, I will definitely reward him."
Song Yunchu heard this and smiled, "It's getting late. If Your Majesty has nothing else important to do, I will go back to the palace."
"Don't rush to slip away."
Jun Liluo stood up and walked in front of her. "We are not busy now. Can we continue what we were doing before?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched Song Yunchu's face, "Yunchu, I..."
But before he could finish his words, hurried footsteps were heard outside the bedroom.
The next moment, the voice of Li Zongguan came in——
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. Prince Qi was assassinated on the street!"
His Majesty had ordered that no one was allowed to enter the palace without permission, so he could only shout at the top of his lungs outside.
As soon as he said this, Jun Liluo and Song Yunchu both changed their expressions.
Shangguan Qi is a prince sent by a neighboring country as an envoy. If he were assassinated in our dynasty, it would be detrimental to the alliance between the two countries.
Jun Liluo immediately said, "Come in and talk."
Steward Li quickly ran into the hall.
"Your Majesty, Prince Qi took the princess out for fun today. Unexpectedly, when they were passing through an alley, a group of assassins suddenly jumped out. There were about seven or eight of them. It was already dark, and the princess didn't know martial arts, so Prince Qi and his guards dragged the assassins away to help the princess escape. Who knew that the group of people were very skilled in martial arts, and Prince Qi was accidentally injured."
"Fortunately, Prince Qi fled all the way to a place with lights. They were near Ruihe Hall at the time. The guards of Ruihe Hall heard the noise and went to check. Since the assassins were few in number, they did not dare to fight with the guards. After that, Prince Qi was helped into the clinic by the guards. Miss Jiang treated his injuries. Fortunately, his life was not in danger, but he had several flesh wounds on his body. I'm afraid it will take some time for him to heal."
When Song Yunchu heard this, he thought to himself -
Shangguan Qi and Jiang Rumin have a very deep bond.
She originally thought that the two would have no chance to get to know each other again, because the princess's wedding date was coming soon and Prince Qi would leave in a few days. She didn't expect such a thing to happen a few days before the wedding. Prince Qi would definitely not leave Tianqi Kingdom for a while.
Although the current development is very different from the original work, the fate of some people is still unavoidable.
Shangguan Qi, the second male lead, will eventually appear in Jiang Rumin's life.
Jun Liluo said in a deep voice: "Do you know where those assassins came from?"
General Manager Li said: "Among the people that Prince Qi has dealt with, there is still one who can breathe. Miss Jiang has used drugs to keep him alive. The ones who ran away have not been caught. The person who came to report the news is General Zhao's subordinate. Fortunately, Ruihe Hall has added a few thugs from the General's Mansion. They are all very capable, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"As long as we can leave someone alive, it'll be fine." Song Yunchu turned to look at Jun Liluo, "Your Majesty, I'm about to leave the palace. I'll go to Ruihe Hall first to comfort Prince Qi."
Jun Liluo responded: "Okay."
When Song Yunchu arrived at Ruihe Hall, Jiang Rumin was decocting medicine.
"Miss Jiang, how is Prince Qi now?"
"He was lying in the house in the backyard with four knife wounds on his body. Fortunately, his bones were not injured and his blood loss was not serious. He will recover after resting for a while."
"What about the assassin?"
"The assassin is lying in the room next to the back door. He was stabbed twice by Prince Qi and is seriously injured. Even if I use medicine to keep him alive, he probably won't last two days. If you want to interrogate him, you have to do it as soon as possible."
"Okay, just make sure he doesn't die, and leave the rest to me."
Song Yunchu took Bai Zhu and went to the assassin's house.
Looking at the dying assassin, Song Yunchu thought that common tortures must not be used, for he was afraid that the assassin would not be able to bear it and die prematurely.
"Bai Zhu, go call Si Niang over and let her try."
Bai Zhu turned and left, and came back with Hu Si Niang a quarter of an hour later.
Hu Siniang had already heard him explain the whole story on the way. Now she looked at the half-dead assassin, smiled contemptuously, and then took out a bottle from her sleeve pocket.
"Sir, this is Soul-Transforming Powder. Dissolve it in water and soak the silver needle in it. It will be poisonous in less than half an hour. I will inject the poison into him later. Once the poison seeps into the bones and blood, it will make the body itchy and painful, worse than death. But he can't find the pain point, so I don't believe he can bear it."
"It sounds reliable. It depends on your performance."
"Leave it to me."
Hu Siniang had been idle in the Song Mansion for so many days and had been looking forward to doing something. Now that she had taken on the job of interrogating the assassin, she was naturally very enthusiastic.
Half an hour later, Jiang Rumin and others in the clinic lobby heard faint screams of pain coming from the backyard.
"The assassin had almost no strength left, but he was still able to scream loud enough for people to hear. This shows how cruel Lord Song's interrogation methods are."
"That's right, Lord Song is famous for his cruelty."
Listening to the conversation between the thugs behind him, Jiang Rumin's face darkened, and he turned around and warned, "Don't talk about Lord Song. This assassin has committed a heinous crime by harming Prince Qi. Lord Song is interrogating him as an official duty, and any means are acceptable."
Jiang Rumin has always been easy-going. When they saw her suddenly become serious, they were a little surprised and quickly admitted their mistakes.
"Miss is right. We won't dare to do that again."
After a while, Song Yunchu came out from the backyard.
Jiang Rumin asked her, "How is it, Lord Song, have you found out the truth?"
"I found out that it was the Rong people." Song Yunchu said coldly, "They failed to assassinate me during the Flower God Festival before, and now they dare to take it out on the envoys of the neighboring country. They must think that killing King Qi can destroy the alliance between the two countries. Fortunately, the incident happened near you and prevented them from succeeding. Who are the people who saved King Qi?"
Jiang Rumin glanced at the four people beside him and said, "These people were assigned to me by my adoptive father. They are very skilled."
"There must be no mistakes in the alliance. You guys have done a great job. Each of you will be rewarded 100 taels of silver. Tomorrow, the Prime Minister will have someone send the silver here. His Royal Highness Prince Qi will also give you a reward."
Everyone was surprised for a moment because they did not expect Song Yunchu to be so generous.
After coming to their senses, they hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Song, for your generous reward!"
They suddenly regretted what they had just said about Prime Minister Song.
Just as the young lady said, Prime Minister Song performed his duties conscientiously. They should not say that he was cruel. Instead, they should say that he was ruthless and decisive!
…
"Clang"
There was a sound of cups and plates breaking inside Prince Yi's mansion.
"What a bunch of people who are always causing trouble but not being able to do anything good!"
Jun Tianyi stood beside the table, his face gloomy, "You can even do something as stupid as assassinating Prince Qi! You didn't even discuss it with me in advance. You can't do anything useful, and you'll only cause trouble!"
Fortunately, there are several secret rooms in his mansion that lead to the outside world, so he is not afraid of General Zhao searching.
"My Lord, with all due respect, you shouldn't have been mixed up with them."
Poison Lady at the side said, "They are the remnants of the Rong Kingdom, and everyone wants to kill them. Have you ever thought about what will happen to you if your collusion with the enemy is discovered?"
"You said that I collaborated with the enemy?" Jun Tianyi frowned. "I just wanted to use them to get rid of Song the dog thief. I didn't really want to make friends with them. I never thought of betraying the court! I didn't know about their assassination of Prince Qi."
