Chapter 764: Cheng Dong Awakens
Shu Yu felt a bit regretful and handed the letter to the curious Zhao Xi.
Unfortunately, after all three of them read it, none of them could understand its contents. Shu Yu couldn't help but ask Meng Yunzheng, "What should we do with this letter? Should we hand it over to Master Qi or keep it ourselves?"
Meng Yunzheng told Zhao Xi, "Go and copy every word on the letter, make sure the positions are identical."
The letter was still intended to be given to Mr. Qi, but as for the situation with the Hetai Mansion, Meng Yunzheng planned to go there personally.
Clearly, they had people from the Gong Qiu faction there.
Meng Yunzheng was quite interested in dealing with Gong Qiu.
Zhao Xi went to copy the letter, and after he finished, Cheng Dong still hadn't awakened.
Zhao Xi checked Cheng Dong's pulse and then looked up to ask Shu Yu, "How much sleeping draught did you give him?"
"Half a packet of the sleeping draught you gave me." She had kept the other half as a precaution. She was afraid that Cheng Dong wouldn't eat the bowl of noodles, so she waited for a second opportunity to administer it.
Zhao Xi was speechless for a while. The sleeping draught he gave her was extremely potent, enough to make someone unconscious with just a small dose.
Well, she had actually used half a packet.
No wonder he had been dragged all the way from the post station to the county and still hadn't woken up.
It wasn't a big deal for him to stay unconscious, but Meng Yunzheng told Zhao Xi to wake him up.
Zhao Xi took a needle and pricked him a few times.
Cheng Dong felt a dull pain in his drowsy state and tried to touch it, but he realized that he couldn't move his body at all.
He suddenly became alert and tensed up completely.
Then he lifted his head, squinted at Shu Yu in front of him, and gritted his teeth, "Miss Lu, what is the meaning of this? I am an associate of prefect magistrate Cheng. Are you planning to keep me in Zhengdao Village forever?"
Shu Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. He was still being stubborn even now.
Shu Yu smiled, her eyes narrowed. "If I let you go, then it would be me who would have to stay in Zhengdao Village forever. No, if I let you go, I might not even be able to keep my life."
"Miss Lu, what are you saying?"
"Don't be nervous. I brought you back so you can meet someone. I think you should recognize him."
Cheng Dong furrowed his brow. He watched as Shu Yu took a small step to the side, and then he realized that there was someone behind her.
Someone... a young and handsome man.
Cheng Dong observed the person in front of him, and in the next moment, he suddenly remembered. "Young Master, you're the Young Master?"
At first, he hadn't recognized him, after all, it had been many years. If it weren't for Meng Yunzheng's striking appearance that left a deep impression, he would have forgotten that he was Gong Qiu's son.
A rare expression of joy crossed his face. After all, in his heart, Meng Yunzheng was Gong Qiu's, strictly speaking, his half-master, and they belonged to the same faction.
For a brief moment, Cheng Dong felt much more at ease.
But in the next moment, he suddenly realized something was amiss and raised his head. "Wait a minute, Young Master, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in the capital? How did you end up here, thousands of miles away from the capital?"
Having lurked by prefect Cheng's side for four or five years, Cheng Dong was not very up-to-date with the situation in the capital.
He had no idea that Meng Yunzheng had pretended to be mute and that Zhao Xi had pretended to be a fool.
But he knew that Meng Yunzheng should not be appearing in Linzhang Prefecture, thousands of miles away from the capital.
Cheng Dong's guards was raised even higher than before as he scrutinized Meng Yunzheng. "Young Master, what is the meaning of this? Why am I tied up by you?"
Meng Yunzheng stared at him coldly for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. "What do you think?"
