Chapter 19 is about poisoning. "I've been poisoned." The paper was lightly touched by the fingers...
"I've been infected." The words on the paper that were lightly touched by his fingers were read out by Lu Zhifeng.
As the voice fell, Song Heng and Lu Zhifeng's eyes gradually turned colder and chilly.
Everyone knew it, and they all assumed the worst.
"How's the progress with General He?"
Song Heng spoke again, and the solemn atmosphere was finally broken and gradually warmed up.
"General He briefly raided the corrupt officials' homes, then launched a comprehensive sweep." Lu Zhifeng paused and pulled out a letter from his sleeve. "I was so busy with the poisoning yesterday that I almost forgot about the letter General He sent."
Feeling that there might be news in the letter, Song Heng reached out to take the letter and opened it.
[Sir Song, be careful.] The first sentence on the unfolded letter was a reminder for Song Heng to be careful.
Of course, this is the only sentence in the whole article.
On the surface.
"Your Majesty, give it to me first." Lu Zhifeng took the lit tinder, placed the unfolded letter high on the tip of the flame, and turned it clockwise.
Make sure it is heated evenly.
As the temperature increased, the unrestrained and freehand seal script appeared one after another, filling up an entire page.
I can read ten lines at a glance and finish it in an instant.
After reading it, Song Heng realized that the entire article was about one thing, which led to two points. One was that after the second house raid, someone was suspected of absconding. The other was that the absconding person seemed to have leaked information about Song Heng.
"You brought back a portrait?" Lu Zhifeng was more concerned about the portrait, especially who it was about.
Song Heng quietly extended his index finger and pointed at himself. This is what paranoia is like. When there is danger or something, the first person he thinks of is himself.
Of course, Song Heng did this little trick secretly and was not discovered by Lu Zhifen.
Someone was deep in thought, frowning and shaking his head. If he weren't a gentleman, he would have looked like an old man.
moan and groan.
Maybe all the clues point to only one person.
"The plague has almost stabilized, and Zhou Zhou's foundation has been laid. Things here can almost come to an end." Lu Zhifeng stopped thinking and changed the subject.
"It's been long enough since I came out." Song Heng sighed.
"It's time to go back."

I thought I could solve the mess here in two or three days.
Because of an assassination, it was delayed for more than ten days.
I didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was determined to make the target person disappear here.
The weather in the town had been sunny for a while, but yesterday it suddenly started to rain heavily. It only stopped at night. The night after the rain was pitch black and windy, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The brave ones had to carry a lantern when going out, and the timid ones stayed indoors.
As they were about to return, some people in the palace went to pack supplies for the return trip, while the rest were busy with the aftermath.
An accident happened. A group of men in black took advantage of the dark night and strong wind to sneak into the mansion quietly and head straight for Song Heng's room.
Wherever he passed, all living people were knocked unconscious.
Thick smoke seeped through the windows and filled the house.
When the man in black broke open the door and tried to assassinate the person, he found that no one in the house showed any signs of unconsciousness.
Obviously he was found out.
The men in black don’t have many people, not to mention that they have the halo of the protagonists like the male and female protagonists.
The matter was resolved without any danger.
The situation is already settled, and there is no doubt that the Man in Black this time is also Deadpool.
"They're all dead." Su Keke went to the body of the man in black lying on the ground and checked one by one.
"Master Song and Master Lu, are you aware that there will be a break-in today?" Su Ke could see traces of drugs left by the window, and after confirming that they were drugs, he asked the question.
"Why do you say that?" Upon hearing this, Song Heng, who knew everything, asked.
"Master Song, look here. This is the remnant of the drug left by the man in black. And you two masters were not knocked unconscious. I thought you knew."
"Why are Miss Su and Master Chen also safe?" Lu Zhifeng vaguely knew why he was safe, but he couldn't put it into words. He then asked the other two protagonists.
"Ahem." Chen Yeran, who had been acting protectively, coughed lightly. He glanced at Su Keke, whose cheeks were gradually reddening, and began to explain, "Keke comes from a family of medicine. She has been interested in this field since she was a child. Perhaps she has tried too many things, so she is immune to all poisons."
Hearing this, Song Heng understood and glanced at Chen Yeran.
As expected, he also blushed. Feeling the gaze, he coughed again and said, "I'm also one of the people who tested the medicine."
"Something happened when I was a child." Song Heng and Lu Zhifeng spoke at the same time.
"That's it..." Okay, we're on the same page again.
Su Keke heard that there was something else going on and stopped worrying. "Master Song, do you want to continue the inspection?"
"Go on." Lu Zhifeng responded immediately, and pushed Song Heng onto the bed and made him lie down.
He was the only one who could tell that His Majesty had other symptoms besides the disease. How could he just do nothing and let him go?
"I take his pulse every day, and the pulse condition these days is very strange." Su Keke came to this conclusion.
Time passed as Su Keke took the pulse. "I haven't diagnosed anything yet. I may need some more time to check."
Lu Zhifeng: "That's fine. We can stay a few more days to investigate today's assassination. Miss Su, please pay more attention to Mr. Song's illness."
Su Keke suddenly thought, "Master Song, do you feel a tightness in your chest and difficulty breathing today, or have you felt this way in recent days?"
I used to think it was a system problem, but now that I feel much more uncomfortable, Song Heng also knows that it is a problem with his body.
But they couldn't find anything. Because the original owner was afraid of doctors, he always felt that there was something fishy, so Song Heng didn't say much to the doctors.
Su Keke was the first person to ask directly about her exact illness.
"Yes." The palpitations he'd felt when he first came here had been getting worse over the past few days. Song Heng felt the need for a thorough investigation was necessary.
"The feeling has been getting deeper in recent days?" Su Ke tentatively guessed based on the changes in his pulse over the past few days.
Song Heng didn't expect it to be so accurate, and nodded slowly.
"Preliminary inference is that it's not a disease, it's a poison."
"Is there an antidote?" Lu Zhifeng was so lost in thought that he didn't notice the emperor's physical discomfort. Suddenly, he was awakened by another piece of news.
"What kind of poison it is, we don't know yet. As for the antidote, it's hard to say."
It was a bolt from the blue, and Lu Zhifeng was struck by lightning.
"I'm fine at the moment, I just can't breathe. Don't worry." Song Heng hurriedly comforted him. Of course, he was not in a hurry now.
That medicine won't kill me so quickly, right?
should.

The assassination case has come to an end.
Looking at this thriving town, it might be nice to be an ordinary person and live here.
Even very good.
If it weren't for the messy soup and medicine he had to take one bowl a day, Song Heng would really think that his life was very good now.
Of course this is impossible.
After all, ever since Lu Zhifeng heard it, he has been feeling uncomfortable.
Lu Zhifeng did not rely on others for the work that needed to be investigated, searched, and summarized, but took it all on himself.
No worrying news could reach Song Heng.
The trip was postponed for a few days after a letter arrived.
Bring it up.
It was the usual morning, after drinking the bitter medicine. Lu Zhifeng frowned slightly, and after a series of daily routines from Song Heng, his expression did not decrease at all.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time for us to set off back." After a few more days of observation, they found that Song Heng was not as they saw that afternoon. In addition, it seemed that something happened in the capital, and Lu Zhifeng could not hide it. This was not good for both of them.
Important matters should be decided by Your Majesty yourself.
"Did something happen?" Song Heng sensed something was wrong.
"Something happened in the capital, and the cabinet has recovered some of its strength, and has been very active recently."
"A big impact?"
"General He has already sent someone to handle it."
Although he didn't say it to his face, it alarmed He Yuanming.
"I have nothing to do, but state affairs are more important. How are things in Jiangnan being handled?"
"It's been handled. The man in black is also related to the cabinet."
"Then it seems that I have to go back and take a look."
The news that Lord Song and Lord Lu would be leaving tomorrow spread like wildfire.
The carriages entered and left the city, and all they saw was a scene of decay and desolation. When they left, the people, with their families and faces beaming with joy, lined the streets to see them off.
Facing praises and flowers along the way, the carriages slowly disappeared into this town that was reborn from decay.
Everything returns to calm, the hustle and bustle on the surface has subsided, and the roots have taken deep root, waiting for the vitality to come again in the coming year.
Recreate its former prosperity.
