Chapter 211 King Gouyi is despicable and shameless!
"Your Highness, you are welcome. Your Majesty and I are worried about what happened to you. We hope you can get better soon."
"Lord Song, please tell His Majesty that these are just minor injuries, so don't worry too much."
While the two were talking, Shangguan Qi's follower came into the room holding a box.
After Jiang Rumin finished bandaging, Shangguan Qi said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Jiang. This gold is for your consultation fee and thank you gift. Please be sure to accept it."
As soon as he finished speaking, his attendant opened the box. Jiang Rumin looked at the golden piece and quickly declined, "Your Highness Prince Qi is too polite. You saved me once in the alley before. This time I saved you, which is considered as repaying the favor. There is no need to give such a generous thank you gift."
"Saving me is fair, but you can't not pay for the medicine, right? It took time and effort for Miss Jiang to treat me."
Jiang Rumin thought for a moment, then took out an ingot from the pile of gold and looked at Shangguan Qi, "This is enough for the medicine. You can take the rest back."
Shangguan Qijiang Rumin was unwilling to accept more, but he did not force it. He turned to his followers and said, "The guards of the hospital who saved me yesterday are all outside, right? Take this gold and divide it among them."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Rumin didn't say much. She told him to have a good rest and turned around to boil the medicine.
If it weren't for the thugs in the General's Mansion, the assassins would not have been scared away, and it would be reasonable for them to receive the reward from King Qi.
"We can't use so much gold! Lord Song already gave us a reward yesterday."
Although the thugs had expected King Qi to give them rewards, they were still somewhat flattered when they saw the rows of gold in front of them.
"The silver that Prime Minister Song gave is a reward from Tianqi Nation to its meritorious citizens, and these golds are our Beichen Nation's thanks to you. Just accept them."
Prince Qi's followers did not give the thugs a chance to refuse, they put down the gold and left.
"His Royal Highness Prince Qi is really generous."
"We have to thank the young lady. The sky said that the young lady was a lucky star and could bring blessings to those around her. We have only been following her for a few days and we have made a fortune. His Royal Highness Prince Qi must also be a blessed person, otherwise why would he escape to the vicinity of Ruihe Hall?"
"You're right. Wherever the young lady is, the feng shui is good."
Song Yunchu was just coming out from the backyard. Listening to their words, he couldn't help but chuckle.
The theory of astronomy fabricated by Mr. Kongxu, the Dog Emperor, has a very big influence.
The more people believed in Jingxing, the more praise she, the Wenquxing who was tied to him, could get. She couldn't expect everyone who hated Song Xiang to correct their thoughts, but at least she could make those who followed suit and cursed restrained.
…
As the morning sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone into the imperial city, more and more people appeared on the long street, and people in the streets and alleys talked about the strange things that happened in the middle of the night.
"Did you hear any noise across the street last night? It was from the Yunlai Inn. Two flower-stealing thieves showed up."
"I heard it too. They said several female guests were frightened by the flower thief. A few knights helped to catch the flower thief, but they failed to catch him. The roof was almost broken by them."
"This flower thief didn't just appear last night. I heard he was out hunting for beauties a few nights ago. It wasn't until last night that he made such a big noise. Now the government office is in trouble."
But within just one morning, the incident of the flower thief became a hot topic in several nearby streets.
In the courtyard of the Xiangfu, Song Yunchu gently stroked the cat on his knees and said to Bai Zhu beside him: "Let's continue the commotion somewhere else tonight. There will be a good show to watch."
"yes."
In a blink of an eye, it was night.
At the end of Yongxi Street, the door of a spacious mansion was closed. The lights in the courtyard to the south were flickering, and laughter echoed.
Four men were sitting in the courtyard, being served by four young women. One of them was drunk and had a flushed face. He spoke ambiguously to the women next to him, causing the women to laugh like silver bells.
"Master Sun, the girl I found for you today is pretty good, isn't she? Look, my nephew's job..."
Hearing the man's whispered question, Sun Xueshi smiled and patted his shoulder, "No problem!"
"Then I'll toast you another glass!"
Everyone was drinking happily when a servant came running over in a panic, "Sir, this is bad! General Zhao brought a group of imperial guards and surrounded our mansion. He said he saw a flower thief coming in and insisted on searching!"
"What?" Sun Xueshi's face suddenly changed, and his drunkenness immediately dissipated a lot. "There is no flower thief in our mansion!"
"General Zhao said they caught the flower thief on the street and chased him all the way here. They saw him jumping onto our wall. Sir, let's get everyone out of hiding!"
Hearing the servant's words, everyone around became extremely nervous.
If discovered by General Zhao, they would be charged with the crime of gathering for fornication.
"Don't panic, everyone. I, Sun, have already built a cellar to prevent any special situations."
Scholar Sun quickly calmed down and said to the servant, "Take everyone to hide in the cellar and don't make any noise."
After saying this, he ordered the maids to quickly clean up the other three tables, and then walked out of the courtyard to greet General Zhao.
General Zhao had already rushed in with his men. Seeing that Scholar Sun's face was red, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master Sun, have you been drinking?"
"I am just drinking by myself. I have just heard the servants explain the situation. If General Zhao wants to search the mansion, please do so."
Seeing that Mr. Sun had no guilty conscience, General Zhao's suspicion was dispelled a little, but he still did not intend to be polite to him and ordered everyone to start searching.
A moment later——
"General, we found a cellar in the south courtyard. There are three men and four women hiding inside. They all smell heavily of alcohol. Those women seem to be from prostitution."
Mr. Sun was so shocked that he froze in place.
How did they find the cellar in such a short time?
General Zhao was lured here by the flower thief, and the imperial guards were able to find the cellar quickly. He didn't believe that this was a coincidence... He was being plotted against!
"Mr. Sun, you are very kind. I saw you always speak righteously in the court, so I thought you were a serious person. But I didn't expect that you, a second-rank scholar, would do such a shameless and disrespectful thing!"
"A few days ago, you impeached Prime Minister Song for being arrogant, extravagant and licentious. These four words are just right for you. You are unworthy of being a civil servant! Come, arrest him."
General Zhao said coldly, "And the seven people in the courtyard, take them all away! Hand them over to the Dali Temple for trial. Maybe the flower thief is among them."
What no one knew was that Song Yunchu stuck his head out from behind the eaves in the distance and had a clear view of everything that was happening in the courtyard.
Haha, another one of King Gouyi’s followers has fallen.
When Si Niang surrendered, she provided two names, Mr. Sun and Mr. Lu.
She had placed spies in the houses of both men. Scholar Lu was relatively cautious and could not find any mistakes. However, Scholar Sun often had sex with many people in the middle of the night on his days off in the past six months. The scene was really unbearable to watch.
The spy said that he was not like this before, but this year he made friends with some dishonest merchants and was instigated by them to experience the pleasures of debauchery, and he has been unable to quit since then.
Some people just fall into depravity little by little.
Considering that Chu Yuni or Bai Zhu's speed would definitely not allow them to run away if they met General Zhao, only she could escape, so Bai Zhu and she played the role of the flower thief tonight. She and Bai Zhu played tricks on the imperial guards separately, and she deliberately made a noise near the general's mansion, with the purpose of luring General Zhao out to chase her.
When General Zhao broke into Mr. Sun's mansion to search, her spies deliberately exposed the location of the cellar, and the seven people inside naturally could no longer hide.
The second-rank civil officials were gathering together for fornication. She could vaguely guess that the dog emperor would get angry again during the morning court tomorrow.
After returning to the prime minister's residence, Song Yunchu ordered the chef to prepare barbecue and invited the Hu sisters to come and eat together.
"Your Majesty sent me a chef from the Northwest two days ago. The barbecue he made is delicious. You can try it."
The two sisters ate the barbecue and praised it highly.
Suddenly someone came to report——
"Sir, the flower thief showed up again tonight. General Zhao went to chase him. He saw the thief had entered the mansion of Sun Xueshi, so he led his men in to search. During the search, he discovered that Sun Xueshi had gathered a group of people for fornication, and there were many people hiding in the cellar. The flower thief might be among them."
"Mr. Sun?" Hu Si Niang was stunned. "Isn't that Prince Yi's man?"
"He's her man." Hu Sanniang took over the conversation. "I've been in contact with him for at least two years."
"This dog Prince Yi is so shameless!" Hu Si Niang slammed the table in anger, "Third sister, Scholar Sun and the flower thief are in cahoots. Guess why those two rapists targeted you? It must have been the dog Prince Yi's order! They told them to scare you so that you dare not live outside and go back to Prince Yi's mansion to continue to work for him like a slave."
"I just complained to him a few times, and he wanted to kill me. He wouldn't allow you to remain neutral even if you wanted to. He only wants absolute obedience. If you go back, he might be able to keep you. If you don't go back, he will abandon you like he abandoned me. He hopes that we will both die, so that no one can control the poison of the eldest and second sisters."
Hu Sanniang lowered her eyes and clenched her fists. "How could he be so unethical..."
Song Yunchu raised his wine glass silently, hiding the curve of his lips.
