Chapter 29 Fortune and Misfortune
When Song Zhe's sword struck Jiang Wan again, Jiang Wan interrupted Song Zhe again.
"Sir, after all, I am also a princess. I have been pampered and pampered since I was a child. How about we discuss it?"
Seeing this, Song Zhe had no choice but to stop the sword in his hand again. Looking at Jiang Wan's current state, he wanted to see what else the princess wanted to do.
"If you are begging for mercy, I advise the princess not to waste your efforts. I will not betray the king, and naturally I will never let the princess go."
After finishing speaking, Song Zhe raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Wan, wondering what else Jiang Wan would say.
Seeing Song Zhe stop what he was doing, Jiang Wan knew that he was waiting for what he was going to say next.
"How can you say that, sir? What do you think of me? After all, I am also a princess of a country. Why would I choose to beg for mercy?"
"Oh, it seems that the princess has quite a bit of backbone. However, if she is not begging for mercy, what does the princess want to say to me?"
After saying that, Song Zhe raised his eyebrows at Jiang Wan.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan had no choice but to slowly express his request.
"I think if you kill me with a sword, it will hurt a lot, right? Not only that, but it will also be an eyesore.
Seeing as I am the princess of Qi after all, why not give me a decent way to die?"
"A decent way to die? Could it be that the princess wants to commit suicide by taking poison?"
After hearing Song Zhe's words, Jiang Wan nodded hastily and expressed that she really wanted to die like this.
Seeing Jiang Wan like this, Song Zhe always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Suddenly, Song Zhe thought of the bodies of Leyun and others.
"Before I came here, I checked the bodies of Leyun and others. The injuries on their bodies were basically caused by each other. I wonder if the princess can clarify my doubts?"
When Jiang Wan heard Le Yun in front of her, she didn't understand who Song Zhe was talking about, but when she heard how several people died, she instantly understood who Song Zhe was talking about.
It turned out that the person who recognized her was named Le Yun, but the person in front of her suddenly asked what was going on?
"I just gave them some hallucinogenic drugs."
"Then it seems that the princess also knows a lot about using poison."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. In fact, I also bought this medicine at a high price."
It turns out that the princess can poison or the people around her can make poison? However, no one has come to save the princess for such a long time, so what the princess said must be true.
Seeing Song Zhe's thinking, Jiang Wan smiled and said:
"Are you worried that I'm going to cheat? But wasn't it unexpected that I was caught today? If I were to cheat, where would I have the time to prepare?"
Song Zhe thought about it carefully and realized that Jiang Wan really didn't have much time to prepare. Maybe he was overthinking it, or maybe the princess just wanted a comfortable death.
Anyway, he took out the poison himself, and there was no way he would let Jiang Wan live.
Thinking like this, Song Zhe agreed to Jiang Wan's request, and Jiang Wan did indeed take the poison himself as she said.
Soon, the effect of the medicine took effect.
Seeing Jiang Wan fall to the ground, Song Zhe stretched out his hand to feel Jiang Wan's breath.
Sure enough, Jiang Wan had no breath at this time.
Looking at the lifeless Jiang Wan, Song Zhe still remembered that Qi Sixian asked him to make arrangements for Jiang Wan's death, so he carried Jiang Wan on his back and walked to the nearest Yixian County.
…
On the second day, the sky was covered with clouds, and the air seemed to be filled with a sense of loneliness.
The streets of Yixian County were supposed to be full of people, but today they seemed a bit deserted.
Yesterday, a wealthy family from out of town came to the county. The young lady of this family passed away for unknown reasons. The family did not pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots, so they wanted to bury the young lady here.
The people in the county originally thought that the county magistrate would not agree to such an rude request. After all, they were not from the county.
But what shocked everyone was that the county magistrate actually agreed.
Although the county magistrate agreed for some reason, many local noble families did not agree.
Today, Aunt Wang came to the street to set up a stall as usual. She placed the stall in the usual place, but for some reason, there were very few customers today.
Just when Aunt Wang was puzzled, she saw a mighty funeral procession.
I saw that the procession had not ended when Aunt Wang saw it, and the coffin in the middle did not look extraordinary. Looking from a distance, it seemed that the coffin was inlaid with gold.
Aunt Wang was stunned by what she saw.
Oh my god, how much does this cost?
"Old Suntou, do you think whose funeral procession is that? I haven't heard of any family having a funeral recently."
When Old Man Sun, who was eating rice noodles at Aunt Wang's stall, heard Aunt Wang's words, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he didn't understand that there were still people who didn't know about this.
After taking a big bite of rice noodles, he looked at the confused Aunt Wang and said, "You really don't know?"
After hearing what Old Man Sun said, Aunt Wang felt that he was really baffled. Is there something I should know?
Thinking of this, Aunt Wang also asked: "Why, is there something I should know?"
When Old Man Sun saw that Aunt Wang's expression didn't look like she was being fake, he said, "You know what happened yesterday that a wealthy family from out of town wanted to bury his young lady here with us?
The team you just saw was run by someone else. Even though they are not locals, as long as they pay, there are a lot of people willing to go and make a spectacle for them."
After hearing this, Aunt Wang became even more confused.
"Didn't you say that all the great masters didn't agree? Why did the funeral ceremony start so early this morning?"
"Hey, who can't live with money? I heard that family stuffed a lot of money."
Aunt Wang thought to herself, maybe she is that rich.
"Hey, Old Suntou, how did you know this news?"
After hearing this, Old Man Sun could only smile and reply, in fact, when the family hired people to prepare for the funeral last night, he also went there, but they thought he was too old and dismissed him.
Soon, the team came to a mausoleum that had been built.
This mausoleum was originally built by a squire from Yixian County, but under the temptation of money, he still sold the cemetery, which had excellent feng shui.
And the person who bought this cemetery was surprisingly Song Zhe.
Song Zhe thought that since the king had told him to take good care of his master's funeral, he must not neglect it.
In fact, he originally wanted to take the princess's body back to Linyu and bury it, but the king was afraid that someone would find him when he returned to Linyu, so he asked him to bury the princess nearby in Yi County.
After some complicated etiquette, Song Zhe finally held the princess's funeral.
After watching the tomb being sealed with his own eyes, Song Zhe thought that the matter was finally done, and then he left Yixian.
One night seven days later.
