Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

He thought to himself:

"Humph, it seems that this so-called prince is nothing more than a brat, letting down his guard so easily.

In that case, don't blame him for being cruel and ruthless!

The 'Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Pills' I had prepared are gone, but it doesn't matter. I can use the most common Broken Heart Powder instead, and I can still kill this brat!"

Yun Yi, who noticed something was going on, became nervous and quickly whispered to Xiao Heng:

"Master, didn't you see that County Magistrate Zhang looked strange?

How could you drink the tea like that? Aren't you afraid they might poison it?"

"It's okay, the tea doesn't smell poisonous. I guess they just want to test it out to see if I'm alert.

Besides, I drank the blood ganoderma water given by Miss Shen this morning, so ordinary poisons are of no use to me!"

Xiao Heng spoke slowly with a calm expression, as if he already knew all of this.

However, he was actually becoming more and more confused about where the endless supply of precious medicinal herbs from Shen Qingge came from, and whether it was related to the magical "absorption technique".

However, these questions can only be explored in the future. The most important thing at the moment is to deal with this "Hongmen Banquet" which seems calm but actually contains hidden mysteries.

After tasting the tea, delicious dishes with fragrant aroma were presented on the table one by one.

Pork tenderloin, lotus bird's nest, golden crispy canary, Ruyi roll, anchovy shark's fin, red plum pearl fragrance, flower mushroom duck feet, colorful beef tenderloin...

There are many dishes, and all of them are delicious in color, fragrance and taste, making people drool just by looking at them.

Since everyone present was eating in separate meals, the same dishes were served in exquisite bowls and plates and placed neatly and orderly in front of the dignitaries, waiting for everyone to taste them.

The dishes served in front of the fifth prince Xiao Heng were particularly special.

In addition to the same dishes as everyone else, his table was also filled with premium delicacies such as steamed deer tail, stir-fried phoenix tongue, cherry meat, and "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".

At this time, County Magistrate Zhang spoke up: "Then, please let the Fifth Prince taste this first bite, and then we can begin the feast!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng did not refuse. He once again signaled to Yun Yi that everything was fine. He also secretly gestured to the secret guards such as Cang Yu who were not far away to stay calm and not to act rashly.

He picked up the small dish of cherry flesh, sniffed it carefully, then picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then praised:

"This meat is bright in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh, fragrant, sour and sweet, it is truly top quality!

My Lords, please don't wait any longer. Let's start the meal and don't miss out on this delicious dish."

In fact, Xiao Heng only needed to sniff it before he could immediately detect the smell of the Heartbreak Powder in the dish.

And he knew that the Heartbreak Powder was not sprinkled on his own dish, but on the dishes shared by everyone.

Obviously, this group of people's planning is flawless and meticulous.

However, in order to dispel the vigilance of Zhang Junshou and others, he had to continue to taste several other dishes.

Then, he circulated the true energy throughout his body to quickly expel the toxins in the food from his body to ensure his safety.

Zhang Junshou and Zhao Bao, who were sitting on the south side of Xiao Heng, couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw him eating the food bite by bite. They both picked up the chopsticks at hand and started to eat with relish.

Little did they know that not far away, there was a pair of deep eyes, watching everything that happened here intently.

This person was none other than Shen Qingge. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

She was full of confidence, having given Xiao Heng so much spiritual spring water in recent days.

Poison of this level is like scratching an itch for Xiao Heng and cannot cause any substantial harm to him.

Moreover, she was very pleased to see that Xiao Heng handled it with ease.

As for the performance of the other people present, Shen Qingge was even more satisfied.

Just now, before anyone noticed, she had already gently waved her hand and silently sprinkled the powder of the "Seven Herbs and Seven Flowers Pill" into the dishes in front of the officials.

Not only that, Shen Qingge also specially added some other ingredients for them, such as manic powder and truth powder...

Everyone was eating so happily that they had no idea that a storm was about to come.

Not long after, County Magistrate Zhang, who was not very satisfied with the meal, asked the restaurant owner Zhao to bring some good wine.

At this moment, he felt a sense of pleasure that his revenge was about to be achieved, and he would not feel happy unless he drank.

Soon, the table full of delicacies and fine wines was almost finished. County Magistrate Zhang glanced at Xiao Heng more frequently, secretly estimating:

"This poison is about to take effect!"

But what surprised him was that Xiao Heng's expression was still normal, without any signs of poisoning.

County Magistrate Zhang couldn't help but murmur in his heart, frowned slightly, and turned his gaze to Zhao Bao beside him.

Zhao Bao also looked confused and shrugged, indicating that he had no idea about it.

Why is this happening? Is there something wrong with the medicine, or has the Fifth Prince been prepared?

While he was thinking about it, a loud noise suddenly came from the Moon Watching Tower, interrupting County Magistrate Zhang's thoughts.

A moment later, the guards came hurriedly to report that a large group of people had broken through the martial law for some unknown reason and had gathered outside the Moon Watching Tower.

They were crowded together, talking a lot.

Among this group of common people, there was a group of emotionally excited and indignant scholars who were struggling to squeeze forward, trying to break through the guards' blockade and break into the Moon Watching Tower, claiming that they wanted to confront County Magistrate Zhang face to face and demand an explanation.

Zhang Jun's face immediately turned pale, he slammed the table and stood up, saying sternly:

"You want an explanation? What explanation do you want? I think these people are tired of living!

Captain Wu, what are your men doing? They can't even take care of a few troublemakers, yet they come here and spoil the Fifth Prince's fun?

After saying this, County Magistrate Zhang pretended to bow and salute Xiao Heng with an apologetic look on his face.

Captain Wu, who was sitting at the table, did not dare to be negligent after hearing his rebuke. He quickly stood up, knelt on one knee, and said:

"Please calm down, my lord. And please don't take offense, Fifth Prince. I will go and handle this matter and will be back soon!"

After saying this, Captain Wu rushed out of his seat, his feet moving like the wind, and headed straight for the door with big strides.

When he arrived at the gate of Wangyue Tower, he immediately ordered his soldiers to capture the scholars who were causing the most trouble and bring them to him.

Soon, several scholars were brought before Captain Wu with their hands tied behind their backs, and each of them was holding a thick stack of papers tightly in their hands.
