Wei Xi looked at the two herbs in Lian Gounao's hand, "Did you get them from Mr. Li?"
Lian Gouluo spread the two herbs in his palm, "I said they jumped onto my hand with their long legs, do you believe it? Of course I came from that old man, let's call him that, I got it from him."
Lian Gouluo stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Li's lying skills are not as good as Wei Xi's. I guess Wei Xi also noticed it and asked who was causing trouble."
"Anyway, since Wei Xi has to deal with him, I'll just get up and take a look." Lian Gounao raised an eyebrow at Wei Xi, "The one who can make trouble must not be a small family."
"I secretly exchanged medicinal materials and someone came to my door. What's more, this matter has something to do with Cheng Xiancheng. He said he didn't remember? This old man must be lying."
"As soon as I turned around, I noticed that Mr. Li kept some medicinal herbs in his room."
"He is a doctor," Qin Feng asked doubtfully, "Is it strange that he keeps herbs in his house?"
Lian Goupu looked at Wei Xi with an expression that seemed to say: It's really hard for you not to let Qin Feng be deceived!
"Qin Feng," Wei Xi began to explain, "Lian Gou means that he no longer has a medical clinic. What is he doing with the medicine, and he only has the two types he has on hand."
"Have you noticed?" Lian Gouyi looked at Wei Xi, thinking that he was the only one who noticed it.
Wei Xi shrugged, "When I went in, I only saw the medicine basket, but you only brought back two kinds."
Lian Gouyi smiled proudly, "I will also contribute this time. When I was working part-time at Senior Sister Xie's place, I mainly helped Senior Sister Xie draw pictures, and she was sorting out the notes left in Bailu Pavilion."
"We were just lucky. The book that Senior Sister Xie gave me to draw illustrations before we left was about herbal medicine. You two, there are two kinds of herbal medicine collected in Mr. Li's house, one is called Duozu and the other is Ring the bell.”
"You are indeed lucky," Qin Feng said, "Given that you two basically don't study much."
Wei Xi frowned, "Lian Gouyi and I don't study unless we need to use it."
"Wei Xi is right again," Lian Gouyi admitted without hesitation, "Let's talk about these two herbs. Duozu and Mingzhong are both metallic elixirs, and Duozu is a rootless elixir that grows on water. Medicine. According to what I remember, Duozu gradually began to metalize from the stamens after it bloomed on the water."
"But this kind of flower can only be picked at night. Last night, Wei Xi saw that Huanhe River only produces gold nuggets at night, so I guess Mr. Li knows what gold is all about."
Qin Feng took out the ringing bell in Lian Gouluo's hand, "Then what is the use of this medicine?"
Lian GouYi was speechless for a moment. Qin Feng and Wei Xi looked at him with smiles, "I don't have much interest in knowledge."
"I knew it, you didn't." Qin Feng threw the bell back.
Wei Xi took Duozui in his hand and looked at the herb, "Lian Gou, this herb is not metal."
Lian Gouyi thought for a while, "The notes I compiled for Senior Sister Xie said that we should take a boat to the river to pick this medicine on a foggy night before it blooms. That's all I remember. The night before I drew the picture, Qin Feng went to paint."
"According to what Lian Gou said," Wei Xi said in an ethereal tone, "Mr. Li, he is now on the same side as Cheng County Cheng, but it is true that he is dissatisfied with Cheng County Cheng."
"The two boxes of medicinal herbs I saw last night were the sacrifices prepared by Mr. Li. They were elixirs and spiritual stones. What on earth was he doing?" Wei Xi asked doubtfully.
"Unless that river is a monk, what use are the elixirs and spiritual stones?" Thinking of Cheng County Cheng's appearance, Qin Feng shuddered, "Cheng County Cheng doesn't look like a monk."
"Are there any monks who kill people casually?" Wei Xi asked.
"If Cheng County Cheng was a monk, he would have been chopped into black coals long ago." Lian Gouyi finished the theoretical course on Qi refining in Wen Dao Hall. He didn't know whether a monk like himself without a Qi palace would be beaten. Heaven suppresses it, but he is afraid of fire and would rather believe it.
"Since he is not a monk, how could the beggar's... turn into gold?" Qin Feng was very confused, "Did Mr. Li lie to us?"
"Qin Feng, do you remember yesterday that you said those two people told you to move the corpses?" Wei Xi felt that he had touched a little bit. "They told you whose corpses they were moving? And where did they move the corpses?" Already?"
Qin Feng looked at Lian Gouluo, who raised his hand, "Auntie, you clamored for a drink yesterday, so I went to bring you some drinks."
Qin Feng's head began to hurt again as Wei Xi and Lian Goulu looked at him, "I will never drink again. Let me think about it... If it doesn't work, let's put those two people outside Drag it in and try it again?”
"The corpses...the corpses...they take the corpses to the Huanhe River. Every year after the rainy season, they move them to the Huanhe River and throw them down at night."
"As for whose body it is," Qin Feng patted his head, "They don't know, the bodies are all in sacks."
Wei Xichong winked at Gouzao and stood up. He opened the door and invited the two soldiers who were staring at each other into the room.
"You said yesterday that you were only carrying the corpses of Cheng County Cheng," Wei Xi asked with a cold face, "We know that Huanhe will protect the people of Tangkou Town from getting sick. So, you are carrying those who have died. Corpse?"
The two people had completely pointed the finger at each other, scrambling to answer Wei Xi's question, "Master Immortal, although the body is in a sack, you can tell by weighing it that it is definitely a person of about twenty years old, and you can feel the weight. !”
"It seems that you have a lot to prepare for the government office." Wei Xi saw with satisfaction that the two soldiers were even more frightened. "There is one more thing. The corpses you send to Huanhe River after the rainy season every year are probably How many? The government office needs a specific number, and our division also needs to hand in a mission statement."
The person who failed to answer the question just now was lucky and immediately replied, "Master Immortal! The number is different every year. I have been working for six years, can there be twenty in total?"
Lian Gouai glanced at Wei Xi and then at Qin Feng, whose teeth were about to be broken.
Wei Xi, who was satisfied with collecting valid information, asked a few irrelevant questions and promised them to perform well and maybe get good results.
After sending the people away, Wei Xi confirmed that the voiceless notes were in effect, and said to Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi, "I know what those people who prepared the sacrifices did."
"They are the sacrifices!" The speaker was bold and the listeners were surprised. Wei Xi continued, "The number of corpses varies every year. Not everyone can prepare the sacrifices. Those who prepared the sacrifices last night were all ten At about seven or eight years old, it would take six people so long to prepare those sacrifices!"
Thinking of the things in that room, Wei Xi suddenly realized, "...No wonder, no wonder there are futons in it. They have been preparing them for several nights...They are not preparing sacrifices, they are selected." Sacrifice!”
