Chapter 767: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 767: Delivering to Qi Chan
After Meng Yunzheng finished speaking, he forcibly stuffed the poison into Cheng Dong's mouth.
Cheng Dong instinctively tried to spit it out, but Meng Yunzheng covered his mouth with the handkerchief.
With a cold gaze, Meng Yunzheng asked word by word, "What's wrong? Reluctant to die? Then why don't you tell us the contents of that letter?"
Before Cheng Dong could respond, he swallowed the poison.
Zhao Xi sighed, "So, do you want him dead or not?"
Meng Yunzheng withdrew his hand. Obviously, the poison was a lethal one. Shortly after Cheng Dong swallowed it, his body convulsed fiercely, his eyes widened, and he breathed his last breath.
Meng Yunzheng wiped his hands with the handkerchief, feeling even better.
Blocking Gong Qiu's path was a great achievement for him. He felt that tonight was worth celebrating. He planned to go to the best restaurant in the county and order a feast to take to the Lu family.
With Cheng Dong dead, Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi placed his body back into the cart.
They arranged the seating and wiped away any traces.
"At this hour, Master Qi must have returned. You should deliver him to him. Do you know what to say?" Meng Yunzheng asked.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "You have to trust my eloquence."
"Alright." Meng Yunzheng chuckled and ruffled her hair. "I'll go to the restaurant and make the reservation. You come back early."
Shu Yu nodded, and together with the cart, she left the house and headed towards the entrance of the alley.
As she passed by the entrance to the Lu family's house, she could still hear the lively sounds coming from inside.
This made her even more eager, so she accelerated and headed straight for the entrance of the county yamen.
The guards at the county yamen saw her and immediately approached. "Miss Lu has arrived? Master Qi has already returned. He knows that you came to see him this morning and specially instructed that if you came again, you should be allowed in directly."
Shu Yu nodded. "Thank you."
She got off the cart, and the guard was about to lead the cart aside and tie it up.
But just as he was about to touch the reins, Shu Yu recoiled. She forced a smile and said, "Um, I want to bring the cart in with me."
"Ah?" The guard was suddenly in a dilemma.
Shu Yu whispered, "There's something very important inside the cart that I need to give to Master Qi. He can only see it privately. I know it's against the rules to bring the cart in, so how about this? You go inside and tell Master Qi. If he agrees, I'll come in."
"Alright, wait here."
The guard entered the yamen and soon came running out, smiling at Shu Yu. "Master Qi has agreed. Miss Lu, please come with me."
It wasn't easy to enter the yamen from the front, so the guard led her through a side entrance.
As soon as Shu Yu entered the courtyard, she saw Qi Chan standing not far away, smiling at her.
"Miss Lu." He took a few steps forward, looking very pleased.
The last time she saw him was half a month ago. Qi Chan seemed even happier than last time. It seemed that he was content here.
"I heard that Miss Lu was looking for me urgently. Is there something important?" he asked, stopping himself from saying more. He thought that Shu Yu came to ask him for favors again.
As a result, he owed her more and more favors.
Qi Chan wasn't sure this time whether Shu Yu had encountered any difficulties or not.
Just as he was thinking that, he saw Shu Yu's troubled expression and heard her whisper, "Master Qi, there's something... I don't know if I did the right thing, or if I caused trouble."
