"However, this dragon bone grass can only be used in small amounts. If it is used too much, it will become addictive. Not only will it not cure epilepsy, it will become more and more serious. So it is both a medicine and a poison..." the old man continued.
Lou Shuitian twisted his fingertips, and the withered yellow plant shattered at his fingertips. She understood something in her heart.
The color was the same as those of wheat bran, grains, etc., so she didn't notice it.
Now that this clue is coming to her door, she would be stupid if she still doesn't understand it.
Delivered to your door......
Thinking of this, Lou Shuitian raised his head again and asked, "What do you mean by bringing people back from the sea?"
"Today, a traveling merchant came here. He looked unfamiliar, but I have never seen it before. He said that he had just returned from overseas and brought some medicinal materials from overseas. I recognized it at a glance and asked him to sell it to me. Yes. This is an exotic treasure. Not many people in the Central Plains understand this good thing... You kid, you don't walk well, it would be a pity if you step on it..."
When the old gentleman said this, he started talking about his reckless grandson again. When he finished cleaning up and looked at Lou Shuitian, he saw her lowering her eyebrows and looking thoughtful.
At night, a cold moon hung in the sky. The third watch has passed, there is no one around at this time, and there is a rustling wind deep in the streets and alleys.
Shopkeeper Wang of Dongying Inn closed the door and walked out of the house. He rolled up his sleeves and hurriedly walked across the yard to the stable.
These tribute horses looked a little restless, swaying their tails, clasping their front hooves from time to time, and making low grunts. When they see someone coming, their uneasiness becomes even more obvious, and they even want to break free.
Shopkeeper Wang stood there and observed for a while.
He remembered feeding him at Mao time.
Could it be that the dose is too low?
He turned back into the house and soon returned to the stable with a small sack on his shoulder. He couldn't use the strength on his feet, so he raised the sack with the help of wooden stakes nearby, poured the powder in the sack into the manger, added some beans, wheat bran, etc., stirred it a few times, and mixed it. As one body.
The tribute horses immediately lowered their heads to eat. From eating eagerly, they finally lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and fell asleep docilely.
Shopkeeper Wang felt relieved when he saw this. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to rest, a stone hit his feet.
He was startled and looked up again.
Lou Shuitian was standing on the rooftop opposite, throwing stones in his hand. Against the moonlight, his expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling in the dark night.
"Shopkeeper Wang is so thoughtful, he comes to feed the horses so late."
Shopkeeper Wang frowned.
He was completely unaware of when this person was there. Panic flashed across his face, but he immediately regained his composure.
"What are you doing there? Do you want to kill Gongma again?!"
Lou Shuitian chuckled. She fell lightly from the roof, the breeze picked up the corners of her clothes, and there was no sound when she landed.
If you don't have more than ten years of skill in treading on the snow without leaving a trace, you probably won't be able to do it. Shopkeeper Wang recalled her magical power of killing horses that day.
Lou Shuitian didn't know what he was thinking at this time and said: "You really know how to catch a thief."
"Are you wondering just now, why are they getting dry again after feeding them in the evening?"
Shopkeeper Wang stared at her warily without saying a word.
"Because I changed the feed in the evening and replaced it with ordinary feed without keel grass." Lou Shuitian said.
After she learned about the role of dragon bone grass at the medical clinic, she arranged for someone to go to the stables and remove the horse feeder so that she could change the feed. Since then, she has been squatting around the inn.
She was not 100% sure that the problem was with the feed at first, until Shopkeeper Wang showed up.
"What nonsense are you talking about, dragon bone grass, I don't understand." Shopkeeper Wang said.
"Oh? Isn't this a plant unique to your Nanzhao country? A small amount can be used as medicine, but a large amount can cause madness. You know the wonderful effects of this thing, so you feed it to the horses, hoping to make these horses suffer from madness."
Shopkeeper Wang's palms began to sweat. He clenched his palms and pondered his next move.
"I guess the horse that ran into the market that day was due to your negligence and almost ruined your Nanzhao plan. And you were punished for it."
As she spoke, she looked at Shopkeeper Wang's left leg, which could no longer hold up.
Lou Shuitian remembered clearly that day when she carried Jiang Yusheng into Dongying Inn. Although she only had a glimpse of him, shopkeeper Wang had both feet at that time and could walk quickly.
And at this time...
"You're already bleeding. If you don't remove the leg binding, I'm afraid you'll have to spend the rest of your days in a wheelchair." Lou Shuitian said.
Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Wang immediately nervously opened his trouser legs to take a look.
When he lifted his trouser leg, the prosthetic leg on his left leg was exposed. He was wrapped very well and there was no bleeding.
Only then did Shopkeeper Wang realize that he had been fooled.
At this point, the evidence was conclusive, and it was useless for him to quibble.
He laughed, "When did you find out?"
As Lou Shuitian said, because he failed to take good care of the tribute horse, it accidentally ran into the market and caused trouble. It caused such a big fuss and had one of his legs broken by someone above him.
"When you showed up at the county government office," Lou Shuitian replied, "you took advantage of your plan and put the blame on the person who killed the horse to complete your plan. But just a few crazy horses were sent to the capital. , what role can it play, do you still hope to level the entire imperial city?"
Shopkeeper Wang gave her a cold look and said grimly: "You can clearly stay in prison, but you want to come out and meddle in your own business and seek death!"
Lou Shuitian's eyes were sharp, "Originally, this had nothing to do with me, but you shouldn't blame me."
Shopkeeper Wang took a breath, and suddenly shot at Lou Shui Tianfang. Lou Shui Tianfang easily dodged it. In the next moment, the cold light was like snow, and a small delicate feather arrow shot out from Shopkeeper Wang's sleeve, heading towards Lou Shui Tian's heart. ——
Lou Shuitian turned back and touched the flying arrow with her fingers. The arrow paused and almost stopped at her fingertips. The feathers were sharp. Lou Shuitian looked up and saw a small cut on his knuckles, with round blood beads forming.
"Injured." Lou Shuitian muttered.
"you......!"
Shopkeeper Wang was furious at this obvious provocation. He was a little impatient and raised his hand to attack.
"My lords, are you still going to watch the show there?" Lou Shuitian dodged a few blows and glanced helplessly into the darkness.
As soon as he finished speaking, a row of government soldiers rushed out of the darkness.
They were uniformly dressed in armor and surrounded Shopkeeper Wang, and the leader was Ying Shuichang of the Annan Protectorate, Jiang Qintian's personal guard.
They had already received news from Lou Shuitian and had been lurking around.
Shopkeeper Wang secretly thought something was wrong, and his thoughts were changing. As soon as he raised his hand, Lou Shuitian, who was behind the soldiers, immediately flicked a stone over and knocked off the feather arrow that he had already held in his palm and was about to commit suicide.
Ying Shuichang was secretly surprised by the speed and accuracy of his reaction.
He waved his hand and said, "Take it away!"
The soldiers detained the shopkeeper Wang and walked out.
When passing Lou Shuitian, Ying Shuichang glanced at her.
Her appearance is cold and outstanding, and her strength is so profound. How come I have never heard of such a person.
Yunxian Mountain is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
"Sir." Lou Shuitian smiled lightly at him, his meaning obvious.
The latter's expression remained unchanged and he said coldly: "I will report tonight's matter together with the Protector."
"If you'd like, you can send my elders back." Lou Shuitian said.
