Chapter 300: New and old revenges
Ji Mo and Li Yaoguang were silent together. They looked at Zhou Gaishi who the two eunuchs were pointing at. They saw that Zhou Gaishi was very complacent and the whip in his hand was still waving.

He whipped her and shouted.

"You bastards, aren't you very arrogant? Don't you take advantage of your high position as the relatives of His Majesty? Isn't your Lu family great? Don't you look down on our Zhou family? Ha! I've said before, don't give me a chance, otherwise, my Zhou family will make your Lu family pay! It's a pity that you, Lord Cheng'en, died too early, and this young master didn't have the chance to teach your son in person..."

I can't reach my hands into the prison, so I can't do anything to Lu Er for the time being. I'm sorry.

"I can only ask you, Lord Cheng'en, for some interest first. You can't blame me, right? It is said that it is the fault of the father if the son is not well educated. It is your fault that you failed to discipline your son and let that guy provoke me."

clap clap clap...

The two eunuchs were horrified by what they saw, but they were still very cooperative, nodding and bowing and complimenting him.

"Yes, yes, young master is right. Young master is wise and brave. Young master, are you tired? If you are tired, you can take a rest. It is getting late. His Majesty will leave the court soon, and the palace ladies should get up. It would be bad if they saw this filth. What do you think?"

Zhou Gai Shi was really tired of beating people, and after being flattered like that, he rode his donkey down the hill and whipped the two eunuchs with the whip, scaring them so much that they didn't know whether to take it or not.

After all, the whip is stained with filth, and the corpse is rotten. How can there not be corpse fluid and rotten flesh on it? It is also filthy! Don't let them get any unclean disease. People like them can't afford to get sick even if they have money in their hands. The imperial physician will not treat the eunuchs to save their lives.

Afraid that this mad dog Zhou Gai Shi would be angry and come back to vent his anger on them, the two eunuchs hurriedly pulled off their clothes to wrap their hands, and then they took the stinky whip. They were angry in their hearts, but they had to smile on their faces.

"Haha, young master, you have great skills! Young master, please take a rest. We will take you to wash up right away."

"Ok!"

Zhou Gaishi nodded graciously, put his hands behind his back and was about to leave.

Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo did not dare to delay any longer. After all, they had already delayed for quite some time. The time agreed upon with the eunuch who brought them here was approaching. In order to avoid missing the time to leave the palace and encountering an accident, the two of them hurried into action.

Just when they were about to pass by Zhou Gai Shi, the man suddenly stopped, turned around and looked back at them.

"Wait, who are you?"

Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo paused. Just when Ji Mo was thinking about what to say in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and get rid of this guy as soon as possible, the two eunuchs who just wanted to get rid of the plague god quickly came forward and replied respectfully.

"Young Master, these are the two new eunuchs from the clean room, who are responsible for handling the dirty things. They are ignorant and neglected you. Please do not hold grudges against them. It is getting late. Please come this way, this way."

Zhou Gai Shi felt great after beating someone today. He vented all the anger he had suppressed in the past. Now he was being complimented and was in a very good mood. Naturally, he didn't care too much. However, when he glanced at Ji Mo and Li Yaoguang, his eyes fixed on Li Yaoguang's face. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed. He couldn't help but look at her a few more times. The more he looked, the more familiar she seemed to him. But for a moment, he couldn't remember what was so familiar about her.

He stroked his chin and pondered for a long while. Just when the two eunuchs beside him were getting anxious and Ji Mo couldn't help but want to take action, this man clicked his tongue, waved his hand, and said to the two eunuchs: "Forget it, let's go." Then he raised his foot and prepared to leave.

Ji Mo looked at him coldly, sneered in his heart, and quickly touched his sleeves, took out the poison he carried with him for self-defense, added various poisons such as Jiang Fei and Jianxie Fenghou, and mixed it himself to delay the onset of the poison. No one except him could solve it, and it was a fatal poison. It was just a paper bag the size of a fingernail, and he silently opened the paper bag. When Zhou Gai Shi raised his foot to leave, Ji Mo stumbled under his dress and fell towards Zhou Gai Shi. At the same time, he made a fake move with the powder in his hand towards Zhou Gai Shi's mouth and face, and silently and quickly sprinkled it out.

At the moment of falling, he calmly put away the paper bag while dodging his body, as if he didn't want to anger the nobleman, and avoided Zhou Gai Shi in time and fell heavily to the ground.

Zhou Gai Shi was stunned at first, but when he saw the person lying at his feet, looking trembling and cowering, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, where did you get this fool? You are probably showing off on purpose just to get a reward from me, the young master. Hahaha, nevermind. Since you are trying so hard to make me happy, here, this is a reward for you."

Zhou Gai Shi, feeling pleased, spoke exaggeratedly, pulled off the purse filled with loose change from his waist and threw it at Ji Mo on the ground. Then, he walked away with his head held high and his hands behind his back, led by two eunuchs with jealousy in their eyes.

After everyone left, Li Yaoguang quickly reached out to help them.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Following the force pulled by Li Yaoguang, Ji Mo shook his head, looked in the direction where Zhou Gaishi was walking away, weighing the purse in his hand. Was there still a trace of cowardice on his face?

Ji Mo silently raised the corners of his lips, clicked his tongue, and smiled.

"Consider this money to buy medicine for you." I hope that when the poison takes effect one day in the future, this guy will still be able to laugh.

Li Yaoguang looked at his father and brother's smiles. For some reason, he felt a little cold and subconsciously called out, "Brother, are you okay?"

Ji Mo turned around, put away his bad expression and said seriously: "It's okay, it's getting late, let's hurry up."

Li Yaoguang agreed quickly without further ado. Together with Ji Mo, they carefully collected the already broken body of Duke Cheng'en and lifted it onto the cart. Taking advantage of the rising sun and following the golden light from the sky, they quickly left the dark palace.

After the two came out, they met the eunuch who had been waiting for them for a long time and was anxiously leading the way. Listening to the other party's muttering, Ji Mo decisively gave him silver money as a reward. The man's face changed instantly and his attitude became much better.

They were escorted safely out of the palace and then parted ways. Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo pushed the covered cart through the sparsely populated morning streets and successfully returned to Jishidiang, where the coffins, utensils, incense, candles, and paper money that had been prepared long ago were stored.

When it was time to collect the remains, Ji Mo sent Li Yaoguang away because he didn't want her to do the collection. Ji Mo collected the remains himself and did it with his senior brother Doctor Wu.

They worked together to repair the body, dressed it in new shrouds and prepared the burial box. Then they took Li Yaoguang and their trusted men in the hall. They did not dare to choose a date and time, nor did they dare to make it public. The next morning, they took advantage of the time of funeral they had heard about in other families and took advantage of the favorable conditions to transport Cheng En's coffin out of the city. They chose a blessed place in the mountains behind Lingyin Temple on the shores of West Lake to bury him.

To be on the safe side, they didn't even dare to erect a tombstone. While Li Yaoguang was busy burning paper ingots, Ji Mo found three large stones, marked them, calculated their positions, and buried them next to the grave mound as a mark.

If the Lu family escapes danger in the future, they can rely on these three stones and will not lose sight of their relatives.
