Jin Wuhuan accidentally saw Xiao Zhao. He was a master who had been in the God Refining Realm for four years. He happened to meet Xiao Zhao who was still wandering in the advanced Qi Refining Realm. How could he not hold back and take action? It was only after he committed the murder that he discovered that he seemed to have stabbed a big basket, which triggered a fierce backlash from the fishermen and even led to a city-wide manhunt, trapping his family in the city.
But even if he could get out of the city, Jin Wuhuan had no intention of leaving just like that. Xiao Zhao was dead and there was still a fisherman here, so of course he couldn't give up. While Wu Sheng was busy in the past two days, he was also looking for opportunities. Relying on his advanced cultivation, he went out every night to visit places and finally met up with Wu Sheng.
The position of Zuolang was nothing in Ying, but in Yangzhou it was a high-ranking official. The city of Yangzhou immediately set off a storm. The city was closed for three days, and the assassins were searched from house to house.
Even Cui Ming's house was investigated three times in a row, and one of them even investigated the side courtyard. The temple officials asked Cui Ming to open the rusty iron lock and poke his head in to take a look.
Fortunately, Cui Ming was a popular disciple of Zuo Tu, and he was generous with his actions. The temple officials just followed the story and left in a hurry.
From then on, it was completely peaceful and undisturbed.
Of course Cui Ming wanted to send Wu Sheng and others away as soon as possible, but although the city gate was open, the ban was still strict. It was too risky to go out like this, so he could only continue to hibernate.
On this day, Cui Ming came back from outside and told Wu Sheng the news he had learned: "The Shen Yueniang mentioned by the alchemist has been found and has been detained in the Ting Temple for nearly a month."
Wu Sheng asked hurriedly: "Why were you detained?"
Cui Mingdao: "She bought turmeric and Ganoderma lucidum in Xiaodongshan outside the city. This is a prohibited item. She reported it and was arrested on the spot."
Turmeric Ganoderma and Evergreen Green Feather are both the main ingredients for refining longevity pills. They have been listed as prohibited items by Jixia Academy and are not allowed to be bought or sold privately. Anyone found must be turned over to Jixia Academy for approval by the Academy. Pay the money.
She didn't expect that Shen Yueniang would travel thousands of miles to Yangzhou in order to buy turmeric and Ganoderma lucidum. What she didn't expect was that she would be caught red-handed. Who should she explain to her?
Wu Sheng asked: "Who is the seller?"
Cui Mingdao: "I ran away on the spot and only got this Yueniang."
Wu Sheng said: "This is a fishing trick. My friend has been framed."
Cui Ming smiled bitterly: "Of course I know, but if you are caught on the spot, what can you do?"
Wu Sheng asked: "Is there any way to clear the way? This is just to get money, we will pay heavy bribes!"
Cui Mingdao: "This time I am not asking for money. I heard that I am planning to hand him over to the academy in Yangzhou."
Wu Sheng was a little nervous: "Didn't I hear that Jixia Academy has not been stationed in Yangzhou for many years?"
Cui Mingdao: "You don't know this. There are permanent walking people in Yangzhou. How could there not be such a big Yangzhou? There were always walking people in Yangzhou in the previous term. I heard that my surname was Shi, but they rarely lived in Yangzhou. They were usually down there. Visit and investigate. I returned to Linzi for retreat two years ago, and news came back last month that the retreat failed and that I had passed away. The new Xinglai had just arrived and left Yangzhou last month to inspect various places in Yangzhou. When the new official took office, Yan He blamed Tingsi and said that Tingsi was too lazy. The temple captain was frightened and prepared to hand over some people to him to avoid being blamed."
Wu Sheng sighed: "We have to find a way, we can't let my friend die unjustly."
Cui Mingdao: "As far as I know, buying turmeric and Ganoderma lucidum is a crime, but it will not lead to death. You will be detained for a few years and suffer a little, and then you will be released."
Wu Sheng said: "She is a young lady who is not yet married. She is in prison at such a young age. How can she get better? Even if she is released, her reputation will be ruined. Has she suffered this month? She has been tortured. What?"
Cui Mingdao: "The temple officials told me that now everyone is searching for Hu Fang Yue Sin. He hasn't had time to go through trial. He is just being detained, but he should suffer a lot."
Wu Sheng said: "Brother Cui, think of a way."
Cui Ming smiled bitterly: "Master Alchemy should know that I am just a corporal. When I go out to serve as an envoy, I seem to have endless glory. When I return to Yangzhou, I will disappear from everyone."
Wu Sheng said: "You are Zuo Tu's trusted disciple. The so-called popular fried chicken is nothing more than that. Think of a way, can the temple officials not give you face? Let's spend money!"
Cui Ming spread his hands: "No matter how trustworthy Zuo Tu is, I am still a corporal. Shen Zuo has hundreds of disciples to support, and I am just one of them. It is a lot of trouble to find out this information, let alone Shen." Zuo Tu is not in the city yet, Master Alchemy, don’t give me any trouble, this is a case that the Yangzhou Siwei personally caught! By the way... who is popular and what is he?"
Wu Sheng paced back and forth and asked, "Who can speak and Si Wei can listen?"
Cui Mingdao: "At least a doctor will come forward, maybe it's possible."
Wu Sheng asked: "Is there any way?"
Cui Ming shook his head: "When Zuo Tu was here, I could still ask for mercy from Zuo Tu. Now that I am Zuo Tu's disciple, how can I go to see other doctors?"
This is indeed the truth. Wu Sheng also had a headache and said: "Please ask Brother Cui to take more care and ask the temple officials to take care of Yueniang and not let her suffer."
He took two yi gold and gave it to Cui Ming, but Cui Ming refused: "I have a little bit of royalties here. I'll just go to the Ting Temple again."
After Cui Ming left, Jin Wuhuan accompanied Yueniang in. Yueniang cried and begged: "Please uncle, please save Yueniang."
Wu Sheng said hurriedly: "We are all one family, what do you mean by asking for things? Aren't I just thinking of a solution?"
Jin Wuhuan gritted his teeth: "If that doesn't work, let's rob the Ting Temple again!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen didn't dare to say anything more. She just pulled Jin Wuhuan, as if Jin Wuhuan would rush out and rob the prisoner as soon as she let go.
Wu Sheng was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, thinking hard. Yong Zhi and Lu Cheng were sitting under the dripping eaves of the wing. They each took out their long swords and wiped them. They kept wiping them until they made a squeaking sound.
Wu Sheng looked at their behavior and couldn't help but smile: "Why is that? Of course I know that now is not a good time to rob the prison. Okay, just do what you have to do."
The two men sheathed their swords, bowed and said, "Yes."
Wu Sheng turned back to the room and said to everyone: "Everyone, go out, I'm going to start the alchemy furnace!"
…
In the prison of Tingsi, Shen Yueniang huddled in the corner, warily watching several shrews across from her. These shrews were all female bandits from Linglong Village in the south of the city. A few days ago, they had been cleaning up one of the prisoners. The female prisoner was bullied vigorously. The female prisoner was taken away yesterday and was said to be sent to the Jiuzi Army. One can imagine how miserable her end would be.
After the female prisoner was taken away, the fierce women were extremely bored and seemed to have their eyes on her again. This made Shen Yueniang frightened and frightened, and she became quite haggard overnight.
The people locked up in this women's prison are all felons with some level of cultivation, especially a few tough women. Of course, if she were outside, Shen Yueniang would not be afraid of them, but at the moment, she is fully shackled, and they are all magic weapons that limit the true energy. The cell is small, and she will be swarmed by these fierce women. She will not be able to use any fists or kicks. When the time comes, she will be afraid. It's because I've been offended.
Shen Yueniang saw all the misfortunes that the female cultivator suffered before. All kinds of humiliation, torture, and despicable methods were simply inhuman treatment. For Shen Yueniang, who was still a virgin, it was unsightly. The temple officials outside the prison were all watching with gusto. If it happened to them, it would be better to die!
In the midst of panic, several shrews who were lying together and whispering stood up and walked over with evil smiles.
Shen Yueniang suddenly felt desperate.
