Chapter 355 How did he die?
Hearing this, Song Zhubo looked very secretive and started chewing a chicken leg. "There are some things we shouldn't know, so it's better for us not to know them."

Xie Li quickly responded with a serious expression, took the wine pot and poured wine for Song Zhubu, "Song Zhubu, come, drink!"

"Drink, drink, drink!"

Xie Li, who was drunk and was helped into the carriage by a servant, was still looking for Song Zhubu, "Song Zhubu, let's continue drinking!"

Song Zhubu, who also had a red face but was not drunk, was also amused by what he saw and told the servant, "Take your master back quickly, give him some sobering tea and have a good sleep."

This clerk Xie always gets drunk every time he drinks. He obviously can't drink, but they still insist on making him drink until he is drunk.

That's true, but he just drank to his heart's content today.

The carriage slowly drove away. Inside the carriage, the man who was so drunk just now that he was disoriented now had clear eyes. How could he look drunk at all?
"Go to Jisheng Pharmacy."

The servant answered, and the carriage turned a corner.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the back alley of Jisheng Pharmacy. Xie Li got off the carriage, walked to the back door of Jisheng Pharmacy, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened from the inside and Xie Li immediately went in.

Zhu Dan stuck his head out and looked around before closing the door.

Dark room.

"Why are you here? What happened?"

"I saw Deng Fei."

Zhu Dan's face changed. "Where are they? I received a letter from him before, saying that he had captured two people and was preparing to send them back, but he lost contact later. I don't know what happened to him."

"Just before leaving the government office, he and his men were taken to the government office."

Zhu Dan's face changed drastically. "How could it be? There are so many of them, how could they not even catch a few people, but were caught by others? Have you figured out why they were caught?"

Xie Li sighed slightly, "I heard that they are suspected to be the remnants of the previous dynasty."

Zhu Dan could no longer sit still, so he stood up and paced back and forth. "Deng Fei can survive the interrogation, but others may not. If they really confess something, that would be bad!"

"What happened to them? How did they get caught?"

Zhu Dan paced back and forth, and finally leaned on the table, looking at Xie Li steadily, "You have to figure this out, and you must not let them say anything they shouldn't say!"

Xie Li nodded, "I understand."

After that, he paused again, "It is almost certain that the Fifth Prince has come to Daming Mansion."

Hearing this, Zhu Dan was delighted. "We have already found the whereabouts of the Second and Fourth Princes, and we now know the whereabouts of the Fifth Prince. As long as these three princes are killed, the Jin court will surely be in turmoil! I will report this matter immediately and arrange for personnel. Don't worry about anything else, just keep a close eye on Deng Fei."

----

"Have you confessed?" asked Prefect Cheng.
He Tuiguan shook his head. "No matter how we torture them, they insist that they are from the underworld and not remnants of the previous dynasty. However, I think a few of them are about to give up. We should be able to pry their mouths open by tomorrow at the latest."

"This matter is of great importance. You must keep an eye on it personally and never be careless."

"Don't worry, sir." Tuiguan He personally escorted Prefect Cheng out.

In the dark and damp cell, it was freezing cold in this late spring day.

When it was time for the only meal of the day, the jailer carrying the bucket had just walked into the long corridor, and the prisoners in the cells on both sides quickly gathered at the cell door, waiting for the meal. The jailer rudely put the bowl on the ground, took a big spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup or porridge into the bowl, and then went to the next cell, cursing.

In the small room outside, the jailers, who were freezing cold, were huddled together, roasting a pot of charcoal fire, eating hot meals, and talking and laughing.

When the jailer who served the meal finished serving the food, collected the bowls and left, they just took a look and then looked away. It was like this day after day, and there was nothing to see.

After dinner, no one wanted to leave the warm brazier. We looked at each other and finally played rock-paper-scissors.

The losing jailer reluctantly stood up, picked up his stick and went to patrol the cells.

After a quick tour, he hurried back to warm himself by the fire.

It’s really cold today.

The sun was shining brightly during the day, but when it got dark, a cold wind blew mixed with rain, making it bone-chilling.

Shi Liu, who had not expected the weather to change tonight, had come here specifically to try a new dish she had heard about at Yipin Ju.

After dinner, when they left the restaurant, it began to rain hard, making her shiver with cold. Fu Dong protected her and waited for Hu Zhen to drive the carriage over.

Just as Shi Liu was about to get on the carriage, he caught a glimpse of a little beggar huddled in the corner of the wall across the street, looking at him eagerly.

"Wait, Zuo Cheng, go and bring that little beggar over here."

Zuo Cheng responded and soon brought the trembling little beggar back.

Shi Liu looked at him closely and realized that she had not mistaken him. This little beggar was one of the ones she met the last time she came to the city.

"Why are you here alone? Where are Goudan and the others?"

Seeing that this child looked even worse than the last time, his little face was frozen and festering, his body was covered in bruises, and he was as thin as a skeleton. He looked as if he could be twisted with just one finger. Shi Liu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

The little beggar seemed to recognize Shi Liu, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said with trembling lips: "Brother Goudan is... at the Yuxiang Restaurant."

Shi Liu listened and let Hu Zhen carry him into the carriage, not even minding the smell on him.

He, on the other hand, shrank to the corner of the car, trying to curl himself up into a ball and not stand still.

There was hot water in the carriage, and Shi Liu asked Fu Dong to pour him a cup.

The carriage moved slowly, and soon it arrived at the Yuxiang Restaurant.

Hu Zhen looked around and didn't see anyone, so Zuo Cheng simply got off the carriage and looked around. Finally, in the back alley of Yuxiang Restaurant, he found Goudan rummaging through the slop bucket that had just been dumped in after the table was cleared.

Shi Liu looked at Goudan who came in timidly, and the leftovers in his hand wrapped in a leaf. The chicken skeleton with little meat left on it was particularly eye-catching.

"Sit down first. Where do you usually live? Where are the others? Take me to find them." Pomegranate said softly.

Goudan heard Shiliu's gentle voice and took the hot water handed over by Fudong. His shoulders slumped down immediately, as if he was relieved. He sat down obediently with his companions, but his face showed that he was trying hard to hold back tears. "They are all dead. Only the kitten and I are left."

"What? How did he die?" Shi Liu was shocked. The last time he saw them was just a month ago.

Goudan said: "Xiaoxi was so hungry that he stole some steamed buns from the bun stall. The stall owner beat him up and he died at night.

It was so cold that night that Douzi fell asleep and never woke up again.

The kettle fell ill, but had no money to see a doctor, and died of pain within two days.

There was also Ah Dou, whose begging spot was taken by a new beggar. He tried to fight for it, but the new beggar pushed him and he hit his head against a rock and died.
