Chapter 27 Honey Trap 5 "Go sleep inside."
Yi Kangning was tied to a rack, his head hanging limply. Though his body was bare of blood, he was trembling with pain. The yamen runner carrying out the execution saw Zhu Song enter and respectfully called out, "Master Zhu."
Yi Kangning heard the voice and looked up to see Zhu Song. His dry lips were as white as a bloodless white. Zhu Song raised his hand and the yamen runners retreated to the side.
Zhu Song walked three steps in front of Yi Kangning and stood still. "Give me the antidote, and this matter will be over."
Yi Kangning sighed deeply, but the same words still came out of his mouth. "Even if you ask me a hundred times, I'll give the same answer. I didn't poison you."
Zhu Song's face darkened instantly. "You're tougher than I thought. Since you won't cry until you see the coffin, then I can't help Master Yi."
Zhu Song turned around and was about to leave. After taking two steps, Yi Kangning didn't respond. Zhu Song turned back angrily, glared at him, and said coldly, "Continue the execution until he speaks."
As Zhu Song left the prison, he heard a guard shouting in the distance, "There's a fire."
Zhu Song frowned and ran over quickly. The fire broke out in the woodshed. The fire had been extinguished, but the smoke was still thick. Song Shunran was standing in front of the door with a grim expression on his face.
Zhu Song came over and called out, "Master Song, are you feeling better?"
Song Shunran replied, "Almost."
"How could there be a fire in broad daylight?" Zhu Song said as he was about to go inside, but was stopped by Song Shunran. "Master Zhu, this room is full of my personal belongings."
Zhu Song found it amusing. "Lord Song came to provide disaster relief, but he brought so many personal belongings with him that he actually needed an extra room to store them?"
Song Shunran replied frankly: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Master Zhu."
Zhu Song looked at Song Shunran's clenched fist, not much calmer, and said with a smirk, "Such an important item, Lord Song, please take good care of it."
"nature."
Nothing more happened, so Zhu Song returned to the hall to look at the account books. A moment later, Duan Zhenghong arrived. "Master Zhu, I have thoroughly investigated the account book matter and discovered that the prefect was behind the chaos. He is outside the door now. Master Zhu, you can interrogate him personally."
Zhu Song pursed his lips slightly, his expression gentle and happy. "There's no need for interrogation. Where's the disaster relief money?"
Duan Zhenghong was relieved to see his reaction. It seemed Zhu Song really just wanted to return to Beijing quickly to report, and had no intention of conducting a thorough investigation. So he replied, "The 150,000 yuan disaster relief fund, no more, no less, is in the courtyard."
Zhu Song nodded, stood up and walked outside. At the door stood an old man with a white beard, hunched over. Zhu Song smiled and patted his shoulder, then walked straight to the box parked in the yard without saying a word.
The prefect looked at Duan Zhenghong, who nodded. Then the two of them walked to Zhu Song, one in front and one behind. The prefect said, "The 150,000 silver coins are all here. Please check them, Your Excellency."
Zhu Song withdrew his gaze and looked at Duan Zhenghong, smiling warmly, "No need, I trust Master Duan."
Duan Zhenghong also smiled with him, "I won't let Master Zhu down."
Zhu Song said, "Now that the money is in place, hurry up and distribute it. I'm done."
Duan Zhenghong couldn't help but smile when he heard his words, "We will definitely cooperate with Master Zhu with all our strength."
“Count the number of disaster victims”
Duan Zhenghong replied, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Zhu Song said: "Everyone should stay awake for the next few days. Wait until the disaster victims return home and then have a good rest."
Duan Zhenghong was eager for Zhu Song to leave as soon as possible. Not only did he agree quickly, he also worked very hard. Under his leadership, all the officials in Jizhou were also very active.
In less than two hours, the number of victims was counted and reported to Zhu Song, a total of 12,550 people. Each person was given ten taels of silver, and the rest was used to pay off the outstanding rice, utensils and medicinal materials on credit.
It was already dark at this time, and the victims would not be able to leave even if they were given money. So Zhu Song sent someone to notify the victims first that relief money would be distributed at the city gate tomorrow morning, and the victims would receive it in batches and prepare to return home.
Before going to bed, Zhu Song knocked on his door. Su Li opened the door a moment later and asked, "What's going on?"
His tone wasn't exactly pleasant, but for Wen Fengxuan's sake, Zhu Song endured it. However, there was something that was bothering him, so he asked, "Did you win the dragon bone?"
Su Li agreed calmly, "Yes."
This made sense now, but Zhu Song was even more confused. "Why?"
Su Li calmly asked back, "I wonder what Master Zhu is asking?"
Zhu Song asked, "Since the dragon bone was in your hands at the time, why did you still let me go to Qingzhou?"
Su Li retorted, "Master Zhu, you are wrong. I never asked you to go to Qingzhou."
Zhu Song admitted that he was right, but under the circumstances at that time, unless Su Li took the initiative to say that the dragon bone was in his hands, he would definitely go to Qingzhou. "Why didn't you say it?"
Su Li sneered, "Master Zhu, don't you think this question is too much? Master Zhu and I are strangers, why would you ask?"
Zhu Song narrowed his eyes and smiled, "But not long after I left, didn't you also use the dragon bone to save His Highness?"
Su Li admitted it readily, "Yes."
Zhu Song didn't understand, "Who's coming to find you?"
Xu Songlan said that he was attacked by a man in black on the street, and the man in black took Wen Fengxuan away. Now it seems that the man in black should be the one that Donggong wants to fight with, but the question is why Su Li was unwilling to save Wen Fengxuan when he went, but was willing to rescue him when the man in black went?
Su Li replied: "What's his name? Xie Ningyuan, but that's not important. What's important is that he looks the way I like him."
Zhu Song frowned. After all this time, he was not as good-looking as others? But, "How could he be more handsome than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Su Li raised his eyelids, looking as if he wanted to roll his eyes but held back. He reiterated, "It just suits my taste. Master Zhu, please don't force it."
"Just kidding." Zhu Song simply wanted to know if there was anyone more handsome than Wen Fengxuan. "Are you here because of Xie Ningyuan?"
Su Li didn't say it directly, but hummed, "Hmm."
Zhu Song asked again, "Where are the others?"
Su Li replied: "At Tianyue Inn."
"When something happens to the prince, he's not worried?"
Su Li looked at Zhu Song and asked, "Didn't Lord Zhu say that the victims were not allowed to cause trouble, or they would be expelled from the city?"
Zhu Song frowned, "But he is the prince's attendant."
Su Li asked curiously, "Can he cause trouble?"
"Can this be the same thing?"
Su Li was amused by him and smiled with her eyes lowered. "To be honest, I don't know why Lord Zhu asked these questions. I just know that Xie Ningyuan didn't tell me that the person in the room was the prince."
Zhu Song remembered what Wen Fengxuan said, that he didn’t want to reveal his identity.
Damn, his brain is really useless.
Seeing that Zhu Song was silent, Su Li asked again: "Master Zhu, is there anything else?"
Zhu Song then spoke about the purpose of his visit, "How is His Highness now?"
Su Li said, "It's okay. The fever has subsided. He will probably wake up tomorrow morning. Prepare some soft and light meals tomorrow morning."
Zhu Song nodded. Su Li stared at him and asked worriedly, "Do you know why?"
Seeing the doubt on Zhu Song's face, Su Li frowned and took a step closer, lowering her voice, "After sex, it is advisable to eat light food."
Although everyone knew this, Zhu Song couldn't help but blush when it was brought up so openly. He coughed lightly to cover it up, "Hmm."
After saying that, Su Li ordered the guest to leave. "If there is nothing else, Master Zhu, please go back. The patient needs a quiet rest."
"Okay, tell me if anything happens." Zhu Song glanced inside the room when he said this, but unfortunately the screen blocked his view and he couldn't see the people inside.
After he finished speaking, Su Li closed the door without hesitation, frowning slightly at the figure outside. Is it too much for His Highness to do this? Forget it, it's done, and there's no point in regretting it.
Zhu Song stood at the door for a while and then turned around to look for Zhu Lingwang. When he reached the door, he heard snoring. It sounded like he was sleeping soundly. He must have worked hard these days. Zhu Song didn't knock on the door and jumped in through the window.
Wen Fengxuan used his room, so he had to squeeze in with Zhu Lingye tonight.
The moonlight was so bright that one could see the moon without lighting a lamp. Zhu Song walked straight to the bed and said to Zhu Lingye, "Go inside and sleep a little."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Lingye turned over, leaving a vacant space for one person, so Zhu Song lay down. However, just as he closed his eyes, he was suddenly pushed and flew out, landing heavily on the ground with a bang.
At the same time, Zhu Lingye's furious voice rang out, "Who sent you here? I won't fall for it."
Zhu Song was in so much pain that he couldn't even get up, so he just lay there, waiting for Zhu Lingye to come and help him. However, Zhu Lingye jumped out of the window without saying a word.
Zhu Song rolled his eyes to the sky. His back and buttocks were aching like crazy. He lay on the ground for a while to relieve the pain before slowly standing up with the help of a stool. As he stood up, he heard the door open and Zhu Lingye's angry voice rang out, "That's her. She's trying to use a honey trap to get me into trouble."
When Zhu Song turned around and saw the person standing at the door, he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Zhu Lingye also saw Zhu Song's face clearly at this time, and became even angrier. "You even disguised yourself as my brother? Too..."
Before he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He quickly ran to Zhu Song and grabbed his arm tightly. "Brother, seriously, brother, oh my god, why are you climbing into my bed in the middle of the night?"
Zhu Songli didn't want to pay any attention to him, "Your Highness, I'm making a fool of myself."
Wen Fengxuan's tone was very gentle, and there was still some weakness from having just recovered from a serious illness, "If I hadn't occupied your room, you wouldn't have had this experience. But where are you hurt?"
Zhu Lingye also understood everything at this point. He wanted to slap himself twice and asked hurriedly, "Brother, where are you hurt?"
Zhu Song forced himself to suppress the strange feeling in his throat, stared at Wen Fengxuan and replied, "It's okay."
"Brother, you vomited blood."
Hearing Zhu Lingye's startled voice, Zhu Song just wanted to slap him away.
Wen Fengxuan remained calm and said, "Go and ask Su Li to come over."
Zhu Lingye spoke quickly in a hurry, "Then please help keep an eye on my brother, Your Highness."
"nature."
