The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 381 Where are the people?
Wu Laibao pointed at the low slope and said, "He's tied up at the back! He's not killed, auntie. We are good citizens. How dare we kill anyone? We were just joking with you. Just joking."

Liang Zheng took two people and immediately went to the low slope, and sure enough, they found two people with their hands tied and their mouths gagged from behind.

Both of them had bruises on their faces. After being rescued, they looked at Shi Liu with embarrassment, "Girl, these people overwhelmed us as soon as they arrived. They have more people, and we are really no match for them."

Shi Liu nodded slightly, feeling relieved to see that they were fine. Fortunately, they were just some scoundrels. If those scoundrels really dared to kill people, she would not let them go today.

Looking at these second-rate people begging for mercy, Shi Liu's face turned cold, "Get lost now."

As soon as Shi Liu said this, the group of people quickly got up and ran in one direction as if they had been pardoned, fearing that Shi Liu would change his mind if they were a step slower.

Exhaling a breath, Shi Liu looked at the sky and said, "Let's go back soon. It will be late and the city gates will be closed."

After the group got themselves organized, they quickly set off.

They hurried all the way without stopping, and finally managed to enter the city smoothly when the city gate was locked.

As the sky gradually darkened, the lanterns hanging on the shops on both sides lit up, emitting an orange light.

It was dinner time and the restaurants along the street were bustling with activity.

The group returned to the Jixiang Inn. Ma Chun got off his horse and asked his men to carry the two boxes down. He said in a flattering voice with a hint of fear, "Miss Li, should we carry these boxes upstairs for you?"

"Just leave it here. Thank you for your hard work today, Captain Ma and the others. This is the final payment. If Captain Ma accepts it, this escort trip will be considered completed." Shi Liu smiled and glanced at Zuo Cheng.

Zuo Cheng took out a silver note from his arms and handed it to Ma Chun.

Ma Chun glanced at Shi Liu and carefully took the banknote. "Miss Li is right. Let's get married."

"Goodbye." Pomegranate nodded.

"Goodbye." Ma Chun clasped his fists, turned around and left with his bodyguards. After turning the corner of the street, his steps became heavier, as if there was a dog chasing them from behind.

Shi Liu walked into the inn. The shopkeeper behind the counter greeted her with a smile, "Miss Li, you are back?"

"I'm back. Please, boss, prepare some hot meals and dishes for us." Shi Liu responded.

As I walked upstairs, I happened to meet Doctor Wang coming down the stairs.

"Doctor Wang, why are you still going out so late?"

When Doctor Wang saw them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes that was barely noticeable.

"I spent the whole afternoon reading medical books in my room, so I decided to go downstairs for dinner. I haven't seen Miss Li and you all day. Where did you go?"

"I went outside the city to look for medicinal herbs." Shi Liu said, "By the way, Doctor Wang is a doctor. Can you trouble Doctor Wang to help take a look? Are these all medicinal herbs?"

"Of course." Doctor Wang's eyes flickered.

Then everyone went upstairs to the room where Hu Zhen and his friends were staying.

The two boxes were opened, and Doctor Wang looked at the dried Prunella Vulgaris inside. A dark light flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he looked up at Shi Liu and smiled, "These are all Prunella Vulgaris, which have the effect of clearing away heat and dispersing nodules."

"That's good. Thank you for your help, Doctor Wang. We haven't had dinner yet. Why don't you eat with us?" Shi Liu showed a genuine smile.

Doctor Wang said, "I'm really sorry, I have an appointment with Doctor Sun for dinner tonight."

When Shi Liu heard this, she was happy for him and said, "Doctor Wang has made friends with Doctor Sun? That's great!"

Doctor Wang also smiled and said, "Then I'll go first."

"Go ahead, go ahead. See you later, Doctor Wang." Shi Liu waved her hand and escorted Doctor Wang out of the room. She then watched him go downstairs and leave the inn.

Pulling the corner of his mouth, Shi Liu turned around and told Zuo Chengdao: "Get ready, we will set off early tomorrow morning."

Doctor Wang walked out of the inn and walked slowly in one direction, with a trace of doubt on his face. It was just an ordinary herb, why was it worth all the trouble?

-

Having taken on a big business and made a lot of money, he should have celebrated with his escorts.

But Ma Chun didn't have such thoughts. He returned to the escort agency, carefully instructed his men on what to say and what not to say, paid them this month's wages, and then waved his hand, letting them all go home.

This not-so-big Weifeng Escort Agency was founded by Ma Chun's grandfather. Back then, it was a well-known escort agency in the whole Yunzhou.

Now.

Ma Chun smiled self-deprecatingly, took a pot of wine and sat in the yard to drink by himself.

One sip after another, soon the whole pot of wine was gone. Ma Chun, who had had enough of the wind, staggered into the house.

When crossing the threshold, his footing was unstable and he fell headfirst to the ground. Ma Chun felt dizzy and began to snore.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Ma Chun was woken up by the cold.

He got up, rubbed his head, and groped his way to the bed in the dark.

Just then, someone broke in.

Ma Chun was startled and grabbed the big knife under his pillow and slashed at the person who came.

But he was no match for the man, and he had been drinking, so he was not in good shape. After just a few moves, the man snatched his sword away from him.

"Be honest, just tell me what I ask you, understand?"

Feeling the coldness against his neck, Ma Chunjiu sobered up a lot and swallowed his saliva, "Understand, understand."

"Where did you go today after taking over the escort mission from Miss Li?"

When he heard the other party ask this, Ma Chun's pupils shrank in the dark, and he was obviously quite frightened.

"Yan, Yan Gu Mountain."

"What happened at Yan Gu Mountain?"

"Nothing happened? Miss Li took us into the valley, found the two boxes of medicinal herbs there, and then we came back."

The knife against his neck suddenly tightened and he felt a pain in his neck.

"You met a group of people. Where are they now?"

"Who? Are you talking about Wu Laibao and those scoundrels? We just gave them a lesson and let them go."

"Not them!"

The knife on his neck tightened again. Ma Chun felt that if he gave a wrong answer again, the other party would cut his neck without hesitation.

He didn't even have a chance, and the other party said coldly, "I think your other escorts also know the answer. I will just kill you and ask them."

Ma Chun felt cold all over. He knew those escorts and they would definitely tell.

Anyway, even if he doesn't say it, the other party will know it in the end.
Ma Chun gritted his teeth and decided that his own life was ultimately the most important.

"They are still in Yan Gu Mountain, trapped in a stone chamber by Miss Li."

In the darkness, the other party was silent for a moment, then said: "Don't play tricks, wait until tomorrow morning, you lead the way!"

Ma Chun breathed a sigh of relief when the threat on his neck left. He knew he was no match for the other party, so he didn't dare to be careless. He nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I'll take you to find them tomorrow morning."
