Shang Shixu nodded reluctantly.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Du Zongzheng. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I will keep my word."

The smile on Du Zesheng's face grew wider, and he returned to his usual silly self.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I know that you are the best person to me besides His Highness."

Shang Shixu waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it.

Du Zongzhengcheng still has the best relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, hahahahaha."

Du Zesheng's eyes sparkled, and he suddenly held Shang Shixu's hands.

"My Lord Prime Minister, I really want to be your friend.

Don't address me by my title anymore, just call me by my name."

Shang Shixu pulled her hand out forcefully and took a few steps back. She really couldn't stand Du Zesheng's enthusiasm.

When Du Zesheng saw Shang Shixu pull his hand back, his smile immediately disappeared.

With tears in his eyes, he looked at Shang Shixu sadly.

"Mr. Prime Minister, don't you want to be friends with me? You are so kind to me.

Are they all fake? Woohoo, I am being too sentimental. Please don’t mind it, Prime Minister.”

Shang Shixu had seen too many unreasonable people like this, but this man was the eldest prince's man.

Although Du Zesheng is a bit stupid, his martial arts skills are still pretty good.

He is also good at leading troops and being a civil official.

Hiss, from this point of view, Du Zesheng can't speak,

He is pretty good in other aspects. He is an all-rounder. No wonder the eldest prince wants to use him in Lingnan.

"Zesheng, I was just joking with you. Of course we are best friends."

Du Zesheng immediately wiped away his non-existent tears and looked at Shang Shixu with a smile.

"Great, Prime Minister, no, I should call you Shixu.

Apart from the eldest prince, you and I have the best relationship. "

Shang Shixu's mouth twitched slightly. Du Zesheng really was thinking about the eldest prince all the time.

"Okay, Du Zongzheng, um, no, Zesheng, we should hide now."

The two men entered the house and hid on the beams.

It was late at night, and the surroundings were very quiet, with the occasional meow of a cat.

Shang Shixu and Du Zesheng supervised each other and absolutely could not fall asleep.

Just when the two were about to give up, there was a sound at the door.

"Squeak."

The door was pushed open a little, and the moonlight shone into the room through the gap.

Shang Shixu and Du Zesheng quickly locked onto the moonlight.

"Squeak, squeak."

The door was pushed open and the person who came in was a small and thin man.

He was dressed in black and was thin, hiding in the darkness, so it was really hard to find him for a while.

The man walked towards the big cabinet in the corner, lit the tinderbox,

The fire starter was facing the keyhole, and Shang Shixu understood that he was going to open the lock.

Shang Shixu and Du Zesheng looked at each other and nodded.

Shang Shixu stared at the thief below and suddenly thought of Du Zesheng, who couldn't understand the expressions.

Do you understand what she means?

Shang Shixu looked back at Du Zesheng worriedly, only to see that he had already rushed downstairs to find the thief.

Shang Shixu secretly thought it was not good, she was used to acting with Wushe,

There was a sudden change of personnel and she did not check for a moment and still maintained her previous habits.

Unfortunately, Du Zesheng was not a fool, and he could not understand Shang Shixu's expression.

Shang Shixu took a deep breath. She clearly meant for Du Zesheng to wait a little longer.

See if he has any accomplices to help him.

He dived down without even looking back at her.

Forget it, now that things have come to this, the Shang Dynasty can only continue.

The thief heard the noise on the beam and looked up to see Shang Shixu and Du Zesheng jumping down one after another.

They immediately drew their swords and fought desperately, and the fight between the two sides was about to break out.

Shang Shixu subconsciously wanted to wink at Du Zesheng again.

After realizing that the person in front of him was not Wushe, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Zesheng, you go and guard the box, I'll deal with him here."

Du Zesheng deflected the thief's attacking knife with a sword, nodded to Shang Shixu, and stepped back to guard the big box.

"Okay, be careful with the timing."

Shang Shixu began to take it seriously. This thief's martial arts skills were not high, so he must have an accomplice.

I can only pray that he is not some powerful and ruthless character.

Shang Shixu knocked the thief's sword away and kicked him to the ground.

With his foot on his chest, Shang Shixu bent down and removed the thief's mask.

"It's really you."

Shang Shixu raised his eyebrows. This little thief was indeed the Zhao Liu who was in the plague station that day.

Zhao Liu glared at Shang Shixu viciously: "Hahahahaha, Prime Minister,

You really guessed it was me, but so what, you are doomed to fail.

Only our Lord is the only one who can save Lingnan, all your medical skills are useless!"

Shang Shixu frowned. What did he mean by that? What did he mean by saying that only they, the adults, were the only saviors of Lingnan?

This doesn't seem to involve the crazy bandit from that day.

"Tell me, your lordship's method of saving Lingnan is to burn the sick to death?"

Zhao Liu stopped his crazy laughter and observed the business sequence with wide eyes.

"Sir, how did you know that? This is how our lord saved Lingnan.

Since adults know this method, it means that you have participated in it.

Hahahahahahaha, sir, you also think this method is good, right?

As long as those who are sick die, no one else will die.

How great is that, please join us, Prime Minister. Our Prime Minister is very optimistic about you, hahahahahaha."

Shang Shixu kicked him hard and glared at him with disgust.

"You have no evidence to back up your words. Please do not slander me. I have always been upright.

It is impossible to participate in your so-called activities.

Burning people alive is a crime.

Tell me, who is this so-called master of yours?"

Zhao Liu laughed so hard that his face was distorted.

"My Lord Prime Minister, I swear to be loyal to you until death. You can't possibly get any information about you out of me. Hahahahahahahaha."

Shang Shixu took out the red porcelain bottle that Bai Wangshu gave her. The things inside were enough to make Zhao Liu tell the truth.

"Okay, okay, what a loyal dog.

Then I will see whether you are just being stubborn or my medicine is more effective."

"Du Zesheng, bring the noodles."

Before Shang Shixu poisoned Du Zesheng, he did not forget to instruct him.

What a hassle, she was already beginning to miss Wu Cum.

Shang Shixu also wrapped himself in a mask, opened the red porcelain bottle, and placed it under Zhao Liu's nose.

"How about it, Zhao Liu? Do you like this taste? Before long, you will feel an itch all over your body.

Even if you scratch your skin, there is no way to stop the itching. This is only the effect of the medicine on the first day.

Do you want to know about the second and third days? Forget it, you should just get through the first day first.

As long as you tell me who is behind this, I will give you the antidote. How about it? Think about it carefully.

But you better hurry up, I don't have much patience."
