Chapter 208 Prime Minister's Storehouse

The two came to the warehouse, Xu Lian found the key and opened the door, and as soon as they entered, they saw all kinds of jewels.

Song Wanning touched here and looked there, with a smile on her face, and she simply couldn't let go of the treasures in the warehouse.

It has to be said that the prime minister, as the head of all officials, is very powerful. The treasures in this warehouse are either collected by him over the years or donated by some officials and businessmen who offered to serve him.

Song Wanning picked up an inkstone, rubbed it with her fingers, and remained silent.

Xu Lian showed a deep disdain and contempt on his face: "This is the inkstone that Master Zhang, a great man from Jiangnan, loved the most during his lifetime. Now it has been sold for thousands of taels of gold on the black market. It's normal for a small person like you to have never seen it."

As she spoke, she walked to the other side and said, "The things there are my father's favorites. You have no talent, so it's useless to take them. It's better to take some gold and silver to exchange for food and drink."

Xu Lian opened a big box filled with gold bars.

Song Wanning put down the inkstone in her hand. Seeing so much gold, although she was tempted, she remained unmoved.

"Do you think that the two of us can carry this huge box of gold?"

Xu Lian's eyes widened instantly, and she was speechless to Song Wanning: "How can I give you a whole box of gold? Are you crazy? Taking two is enough. Two is my expenses for two months, enough for ordinary people like you to have food and clothing for a lifetime."

Song Wanning was amused in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Ms. Xu, you understand the current situation. You have nowhere to go and you can't stay at home. You can only come with me."

As she said this, she did smile: "It can be said that Miss Xu's life needs me to protect it. Do you think your life is only worth two gold bars?"

Xu Lian frowned: "Then how much do you want?"

"This, this, and that, I want to take them all away." Song Wanning pointed at the three antique toys and asked for a huge amount of money.

Xu Lian was so angry that she stuttered: "How is it possible!? Do you know how much these things are worth!?"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Song Wanning again: “Miss Xu, do you think your life is not worth so much?”

"I mean you're going too far! Do you really think I'm a fool? I will never give you so much. You're dreaming!"

"Okay." Song Wanning nodded, turned around and wanted to leave.

Xu Lian was still angry and ignored it. However, the next second, something outside was hit with a loud bang, which scared Xu Lian.

"Wait! Wait a minute!" Xu Lian ran behind Song Wanning in fear and grabbed the corner of her clothes. "I, I promise you, as long as you take me away, I don't want to stay here."

Even the prime minister in the palace was controlled, not to mention the servants.

If she stayed in the mansion, her life would be in danger, and she didn't want to die.

Song Wanning smiled, picked up her things, and took Xu Lian back to the house.

After returning, Song Wanning asked Song Jiang to arrange a yard in the corner for Xu Lian.

Xu Lian was still holding the clothes and jewelry she had brought from home, and she looked out of place standing in this remote courtyard.

"What kind of place did you bring me to? Do you know how much money I paid her to let me live in such a crappy place!?"

She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, looking extremely disgusted.

Song Jiang didn't have that much patience. There were so many patients in the front yard, and he had to go over to help: "Miss Xu, if you don't want to stay, you can leave now. No one is forcing you."

Xu Lian stopped talking. After what happened at home, she would never go back until her father recovered. It was not safe outside either. In comparison, Song Wanning's place was the safest place.

After Song Wanning came back, she went to sit in the study for a while. She looked through the description of Song Jiang's condition that he had written over the past few days, trying to find a cure from a pathological perspective.

After staying in the study for a whole night, Song Wanning was awakened by someone knocking on the door the next day.

Song Jiang outside the door was very anxious: "Sister, are you awake? There are more patients outside, we can't handle it!"

Song Wanning quickly changed into men's clothes and went out. As she walked to the front yard, she asked Song Jiang, "What's going on? What's the illness?"

"Same as yesterday, mostly scratches and bites, but there are a lot more people than yesterday."

Song Wanning frowned slightly, and thought for a while. It seemed to be related to the poisonous insects. Maybe they were cultivated differently.

Those people went crazy because they took an aphrodisiac. Only men who have needs in that aspect of life will take this drug, and the number of people who do so is small, so there were not many patients who were scratched and bitten in the past few days.

Some mad people have been caught by officials, and there are still patrols on the streets. Logically, there shouldn't be so many people being scratched and bitten.

With such doubts, Song Wanning did not forget to ask the reason while bandaging the patient.

"I was scratched by our master. He was fine last night, but for some reason today, he suddenly became crazy early in the morning, scratching and biting everyone he saw."

After listening to the little girl's words, Song Wanning fell into deep thought.

Judging from the clothes the little girl was wearing, she should be a maid in a merchant's family. Looking around, she saw two or three other people wearing the same style as her.

Thinking that the businessman had taken an aphrodisiac, Song Wanning then asked, "Where's your wife? Wasn't she bitten?"

"What do you mean the master and the mistress are fine? It's our young master who suddenly went crazy. How can an eight-year-old child be so strong?"

Another guy answered at this time.

Song Wanning sensed something was wrong. How could an eight-year-old child take that kind of medicine?

"What did your young master eat yesterday? Tell me everything!" Song Wanning asked in a cold voice.

The maid mentioned a lot of food, and finally, Song Wanning decided to suspect the new braised meat shop on East Street.

She is now thinking about investigating the truth, but she really can't leave. Looking around, not only Song Jiang and Hu Zi are helping, Qu Zhi is also helping with bandaging, even Liu Qian is packing medicine.

Song Wanning called An Chu and An Ju: "Go to the braised meat shop on East Street and buy a pound of meat. By the way, tell the shop owner that you want two spoons of braised soup."

An Chu and An Ju took the money and prepared to go out. Song Wanning was worried and stopped them again: "Remember, no matter how delicious the meat and soup are, don't eat them."

She looked serious. An Chu and An Ju nodded and went out.

On the other side, after Xu Lian woke up, he found that there was no one in the entire backyard, not even a servant to serve.

She got up late, her stomach was rumbling, and she was very hungry.

After washing up, she went to the kitchen again and found that there was nothing there, which made Xu Lian very angry.

She rushed to the front yard and accurately found Song Wanning among the crowd.
