Wang He thought for a moment and shook his head. "The highest-ranking official is called Yue Gong. He's very skilled in martial arts, and his father was a close confidant of the previous Duke of Lu. I've met him, but they live and eat in the mountains, so I can't drug them."
Not to mention that there is no way to drug him, even if there is a way, it cannot be used. If Yue Gong is poisoned to death, wouldn’t it be equivalent to telling Duke Lu that there is a spy?
"I didn't give him poison. It's an addictive drug. After taking it for half a month, he had to take it every few days. Once he stopped taking it, he would have an unbearable itching all over his body, which was very painful."
"Miss, you want to control him? Yue Gong is really good at martial arts, and because of his martial arts, he is very proud. Drugging him is a good idea. And because of his father, Duke Lu trusts him very much."
Kang Yueran asked hurriedly, "What's his favorite food? Does he like wine?"
"Drinking is not allowed in the mountains! As for his preferences... he loves Miss Fei'er from Cui Xi Lou the most. He will definitely go to Cui Xi Lou every few days. Don't blame me, young lady!"
"This is serious business. You're right to speak out. Keep talking and don't leave it behind."
"Well... I heard that Yue Gong is not very good." Wang He felt embarrassed after he said this.
Kang Yueran smiled. "That's not going to work, okay? I can sell him medicine. When will he come to Yuezhou City next time? Who can I find to sell medicine to him without him getting suspicious?"
"That's easy. Yue Gong asked Zhu Ying, the owner of the rice shop, to help him find medicine. Zhu Ying wanted to curry favor with Yue Gong and was very dedicated. It's not too difficult for you to deliver the medicine, but since you've already been to the rice shop, it would be best if someone else could deliver the medicine to Zhu Ying."
She just needs to change her clothes, "I know, I'll do it tomorrow."
Wang He told Kang Yueran about Zhu Ying, saying that Zhu Ying was not a good person because he bullied men and women. The reason why he was so flattering to Yue Gong was, firstly, to take the opportunity to improve his relationship with Duke Lu, and secondly, to use Yue Gong to help him kill people and rob.
Snap...
The driver, Ma Da, cracked his whip and cursed, "Where did you come from, you stinky boy? Get out of here! You dare to ram into the carriage without even checking whose it is? Get the hell away!"
Kang Yueran, with his messy hair, dodged the whip and pointed at the driver, cursing, "Who do you think you are? A rickety driver dares to be so arrogant. I think you are the one seeking death."
With Zhu Ying, the evil master, as an example, it was common for Ma Da to bully ordinary people. He swung the whip in his hand at Kang Yueran, "I think you are looking for death!"
Kang Yueran managed to dodge again, but the wooden box she was holding fell to the ground. She tried to pick it up, but was forced back by Ma Da's whip. "That's my box, give it back to me!"
Martha picked up the box and said, "You say it's yours, so it's yours? I still say it's mine."
Kang Yueran jumped up and down and yelled, "Give me back the box! It belonged to my master. He said the pills inside are worth three thousand taels of silver. If you break it, you won't be able to pay for it!"
Zhu Ying, who was in the carriage, was about to urge Ma Da to leave when she heard it was worth three thousand taels and immediately became interested. "Ma Da, give it to me and let me see it."
Ma Da handed the box to Zhu Ying in the trunk. Zhu Ying opened the box and found sixty black pills neatly arranged inside. "What medicine is this?"
Kang Yueran softened his tone and said, "Master, please return the box to me. If I lose it, my master will beat me to death."
"Tell me first, what kind of medicine is this!" If it can be worth three thousand taels, it must be a good medicine.
"My master spent many years developing this medicine. He said that any man who took it would be guaranteed to have a son. My master had 37 sons from one wife and nine concubines, and even three when he was 60."
So powerful? "How old is your master this year?"
"I'm sixty-seven this year, Master. Please return the box to me. My master has taken a fancy to a prostitute, and she's pregnant. He wants to redeem her, and he's waiting for me to sell the medicine and bring him the money."
Nearing his seventies, he was still so impressive. Zhu Ying stared at the black pills, his eyes gleaming. With a snap, he closed the box. "Martha, go home!"
Ma Da jumped onto the carriage, cracked the whip and drove away.
Kang Yueran was stunned, "Hey? Hey? Why did you leave? Where's my box?" and was about to go forward to chase them.
A passerby grabbed her and said, "Don't chase me! You can't get it back. If you chase me, not only will you not get the box back, you will also lose your life. Go home and find your master."
"Uncle, my box..."
"That's Master Zhu. He's not someone you can easily mess with. You're also a fool. Who told you to praise the pills so highly in front of him? How could he let go of such a good thing?"
Kang Yueran wiped away her tears and said, "I don't know. My master and I have only been in Yuezhou for a short time."
The passerby sighed and shook his head, "You definitely won't get the box back, so hurry home!"
Kang Yueran thanked him and walked away dejectedly.
Zhu Ying returned home, sat in the pavilion and opened the box. He picked up a piece and smelled it first. It had a faint fragrance.
Just as he was about to put the pill in his mouth, he stopped and looked at the black pill. If he ate it, he was afraid it might be poisonous, but if he didn't, he didn't know what the effect would be.
He called a servant over and handed him the pill, "Take it!"
The servant was terrified and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, "Master, please spare my life, Master, please spare my life!"
"Stop the bullshit, it's good stuff! Eat it quickly!"
If he didn't eat it, he would definitely be beaten to death; if he took it, he might not die. The servant took the pill, closed his eyes, and swallowed it whole.
Zhu Ying kept staring at the servant. After a quarter of an hour, he asked, "What do you feel?"
The servant kept holding back, "Master, Master, I..."
"to be honest!"
The servant knelt on the ground and tugged at his collar, revealing his red neck. "Master, I'm so hot!"
The housekeeper laughed and said, "This kid is still a boy."
He pulled the servant's trousers, and the servant's face immediately turned red, and he covered his hands to prevent others from seeing it.
Zhu Ying was overjoyed and laughed out loud, pointing at the housekeeper and saying, "Find him a maid."
The butler slapped the servant on the head and said, "You are in luck, come with me!"
An hour later, the housekeeper came to report that the servant had not finished yet.
Zhu Ying followed the housekeeper to the back room where the servants lived. Standing outside the door, she could clearly hear what was happening inside.
The housekeeper opened the door a crack, and Zhu Ying looked into the room. After confirming, he returned to his own yard.
Another hour later, the servant came to Zhu Ying's yard.
Zhu Ying asked anxiously, "What do you think?"
"I, I feel very happy, very happy..."
"What now?"
The servant's face flushed with embarrassment. "I'm a little tired, but nothing else."
It's been so long, you must be tired! Zhu Ying was overjoyed and laughed wildly, slapping his thigh.
At night, Zhu Ying went to the room of his most beloved concubine and conducted an experiment himself.
Kang Yueran on the roof listened for a while, but left when he couldn't stand it anymore.
On the third day, Kang Yueran followed Zhu Ying and watched Zhu Ying give the medicine to Yue Gong before leaving Yuezhou with peace of mind.
