Chapter 272 Don't be too upright. Don't stay here for too long.
Nine races?
Zhu Xiaobiao scratched the dimple on his cheek and said, "No, as for fiddling with flowers and plants, most women in the family would fiddle with some flowers and plants when they have nothing to do."
He looked at Xie Chengze, "Your Highness, what exactly happened to you? Why don't you tell me in detail? Maybe I can remember more."
Xie Chengze sighed and had to tell him about the incense burning incident.
"It's really like this!" Zhu Xiaobiao was shocked and very angry. As a victim of drug addiction, he knew very well how painful it was. Especially when he heard Xie Chengze say that this drug could even destroy the entire dynasty, he was so angry that he trembled all over. "How could they do this! Don't they have any humanity?"
"So Your Highness now wants to get rid of the person who made the incense?" He already understood in his mind.
For such a lucrative item, the other party will definitely keep the secret recipe to themselves. In this way, as long as that person is killed, the source of poisoning the dynasty can be cut off.
"Your Highness, let me go back to the county government office!"
Zhu Xiaobiao immediately said, "Let me check who made the incense!"
Xie Chengze shook his head, "It's too dangerous. What's more... Sheng Shihuai knows that you are mine. If he finds you, he may use you to threaten me."
"Isn't he dead?" Zhu Xiaobiao said in shock.
Xie Chengze sighed, "I didn't expect that either."
Zhu Xiaobiao's expression finally became serious. He walked around the room for a long time and said, "It's impossible for Mr. Sheng to live in the county government office every day. I can go back secretly."
When he came back, he made a point of inquiring about it. He found out that his stepmother, who said she was pregnant, was not pregnant at all, and his father was still alone in his old age.
As long as he went back secretly and asked his father to keep it a secret, his father would definitely not tell his stepmother.
This way he could secretly investigate the matter of incense.
Xie Chengze shook his head. "Your father must know about this. You can't go back and take risks."
As long as we know who the person who made the incense might be, we can ask Wuhen or Wuzhi to investigate when Sheng Shihuai is not around.
Xie Chengze was struggling over whether he should write a letter to Shen Yuan to discuss the matter together, or act decisively and find a solution on his own?
The latter is obviously too dangerous, but if the former is chosen, Xie Chengze can hardly guarantee that by the time Shen Yuan receives the letter and thinks of a way to rush over, Sheng Shihuai will still be in Jizhou.
There was no surveillance and positioning in ancient times. If Sheng Shihuai escaped, finding him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
What if I find a way to hold him back...
Can he hold on?
If I kill the substitute he had worked so hard to train, I'm afraid he will be strangled to death by Sheng Shihuai as soon as he shows up.
If Wuhen or Wuzhi secretly followed Sheng Shihuai, once they were discovered by the other party, Wuhen or Wuzhi would be in danger of their lives.
Xie Chengze scratched his hair again, and his freshly washed hair quickly became frizzy.
"Hu Lai——" He growled again, "What should I do?"
Hu Lai, who is quietly reducing his presence: …
Hu Lai said aggrievedly, "At the beginning, I asked you to give him the martial arts secret book that said if you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first, but you didn't listen."
Now the situation is serious. The other party is very skilled in martial arts, and they are two weaklings. Oh, now there is also the weakling Zhu Xiaobiao. How can they fight against him?
Xie Chengze also felt a little regretful.
As expected, one cannot be too upright.
"Is it too late to throw it away now?" Xie Chengze asked expectantly.
Hu Lai gave him a helpless look that said "what do you think?"
Xie Chengze instantly deflated like a deflated balloon.
Then it quickly jumped up like a puffer fish in danger.
"If we put a knockout drug in the wine, would Sheng Shihuai be able to taste it?" Xie Chengze asked humbly.
"If you put a little less, it won't be noticeable, but I'm not sure whether someone like Sheng Shihuai will carry the antidote with him." Hu Lai said very seriously.
Xie Chengze deflated again.
After taking two sips of tea and thinking for a while, he felt that he was fine again, "What are the chances of flicking the poison pill down his throat?"
Hu Lai looked at him suspiciously, "How big is the poison pill?"
Xie Chengze gestured, and Hu Lai suddenly felt helpless, "There's no need to wait for him to force the poison out of his body. Just coughing can get the poison pill out of his throat."
"Then what do you say we should do?" After being rejected three times in a row, Xie Chengze felt like he had given up and his face was filled with worry.
Hu Lai really wanted to find a way to trick Sheng Shihuai to Pingcheng and kill him with a big earthquake.
But he knew it was nonsense. The kind-hearted Second Prince would not just let the people live and die, so he could only give a serious suggestion: "Release the tiger back to the mountain, and we will discuss it later. It is so difficult to kill a substitute, let alone the real one. My suggestion is to leave it alone and let the Crown Prince and Lord Shen have a headache."
Xie Chengze remained silent, obviously worried about the consequences of letting the tiger go back to the mountains.
"Then we have no choice but to sacrifice Master Xiao Zhu." Hu Lai spread his hands, "Let him take the risk and poison."
Zhu Xiaobiao couldn't help but glare at him, "Why not you? You're much smarter than me."
Hu Lai said seriously: "Because there are thousands of good people, but I am the only one as vicious as me."
Zhu Xiaobiao: “…”
"Whatever." Xie Chengze waved his hand, "Hu Lai, write a letter to Shen Yuan."
Right now, letting the tiger return to the mountains is the best option, but the drug den in Zhuolu County cannot be eradicated for the time being.
If you keep it, maybe you can find clues to Sheng Shi Huai's whereabouts.
"Xiao Biao, you must immediately arrange for the escort team to take those concubines away from Zhuolu County in batches."
He said with a cold expression, "It is not advisable to stay here for long."
……
……
……
I stayed here for a long time.
Waking up from his coma, Xie Chengze found himself tied to the bed with a long thick rope. Hu Lai was not around, and had disappeared without a trace.
He, where is this?
He vaguely remembered that he and Hu Lai were leaving when the city was closed. Halfway through the journey, there was a sudden commotion outside the carriage. The lid of the carriage was opened, and someone fell from the sky and hit him on the back of the neck.
The back of his neck still ached slightly, it must have turned red. Xie Chengze quickly looked around and felt that it looked familiar.
so familiar...
Wait? Isn't this the room he temporarily lived in when he was making money in the Zhuolu County government office?
Kou Kou!
Could it be that he was captured by Sheng Shihuai?
Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the door. Xie Chengze was so scared that he quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
The wooden door was opened, and a pair of purple boots stepped in first.
The footsteps were extremely steady. When they reached the bed, Xie Chengze could only hear the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other. The other party seemed to be bending down to observe him, so close that he could hear the other party's breathing.
What is he doing?
Look at him? Or think about what kind of cruel and ugly death to give him?
Xie Chengze couldn't control his fear. Just when the other party was about to say "stop pretending to faint", Xie Chengze suddenly opened his eyes, and crawled like a beautiful caterpillar. He threw his little head into his arms and burst into tears.
"Boss! Please don't kill me! I'll do anything you ask me to do--wooooooo!"
Sheng Shihuai: ...
Sheng Shihuai raised his hand and twisted his nose, then grabbed his collar and threw him into the bed like a weak chicken.
Then he said in a sarcastic tone, "I didn't expect that the resourceful Regent Prince would be so flexible."
