Chapter 136

After breakfast, the quiet house welcomed the first guest: Cai Yiming.

"Something happened at Qingshui Village." Cai Yiming said seriously.

Qing Moyan was sitting with Ru Xiaonan on the corridor, watching her groom the stupid dog's fur, while one of his hands landed on her head, stroking it slowly.

A few days ago, Qing Moyan and Cai Yiming went to Qingshui Village. He went there to find news about the ghost grass.

"What happened?" Qing Moyan asked.

"The only herbal picker who knew about the ghost grass disappeared."

Qing Moyan frowned, the last time he followed Cai Yiming to Qingshui Village as a drug dealer, and said that he would buy ghost grass at a high price, or news about ghost grass.

Looking at the white silver in front of him, naturally no one can resist.

Qing Moyan soon got the news that the only herb picker in the village who knew about the ghost grass went to Luanshi Valley to the east of the forest a few days ago, so he had to go back to Shifang Town first.

Unexpectedly, such disappointing news finally came.

"I heard that the herb picker is a veteran. Among all the herb pickers who went to look for ghost grass back then, he was the only one who survived." Cai Yiming said regretfully, "This time he went to Rocky Valley to hunt poisonous scorpions. To acquire a large number of Scorpion Tails, I never expected such a thing to happen..."

Looking at Qing Moyan's silence, Cai Yiming tentatively said: "Qingshui Village wants to send another team to Luanshi Valley, and I want to follow. I don't know if Young Master Qing is interested."

Qing Moyan's eyes flickered, "You want to go too?"

"That's right, the price of the scorpion tail is too high. What my father meant was that he wanted to train some of his own herb pickers, so that he could save a lot of price difference."

Qing Moyan smiled faintly, "Aren't you afraid of being in danger?"

"Young Master Qing underestimates me too." Cai Yiming smiled, "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have guards around me. I don't let me do the picking when picking herbs, so it's not as dangerous as you think."

Qing Moyan smiled, "When are you planning to leave?"

"Tomorrow morning."

Qing Moyan nodded, "Understood." He neither directly agreed nor refused.

Cai Yiming couldn't help showing doubts on his face, he was hesitating whether he should ask clearly, when Xuanyu came in outside, holding a post in his hand: "My lord, Ci Medicine Hall sent a post, saying that they have an important medicinal material business idea Talk to the young master, please go to the Ci Yao Tang with the little madam."

Qing Moyan glanced at the post, then threw it on the table, "Send them a message, just say I'll be there later."

"Yes, that little madam..." Xuanyu glanced at Ru Xiaonan.

"She won't go." Qing Moyan refused without thinking.

Ru Xiaonan raised her head in surprise, her eyes were full of puzzlement, she hadn't said anything yet, and he just made the decision for her.

Qing Moyan pinched her nose, "I went to Ciyaotang to look at the herbs and not to have a banquet, so what are you going to do next?"

Ru Xiaonan thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense.

If someone invites a banquet, she can have a delicious meal with her when she goes, but she goes to the pharmacy to look at the medicinal materials, what's the point.

"Understood, I will wait for you at home." Seeing her nodding vigorously, Qing Moyan smiled.

Talked to Cai Yiming again, Cai Yiming got up to leave.

Seeing that Ru Xiaonan was not around at this time, Cai Yiming whispered: "Ciyaotang has been doing business in Shifang Town for many years. I know what they have, but I don't remember what they have... And as far as I know You know, their shopkeeper is very beautiful, Mr. Qing, please be careful." Said Cai Yiming turned his head to look at Ru Xiaonan in the distance.

Ru Xiaonan was playing a game of "throw away" with the stupid dog, one person and one dog had a great time, the yard was full of children's crisp laughter, even Cai Yiming felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.

Qing Moyan twitched the corners of her mouth, and just said: "Thank you for reminding me." Then someone sent the guests off.

An hour later, Qing Moyan took Xuanyu and five dead men dressed as servants to the Ci Medicine Hall.

Shopkeeper Xiong didn't show up, and the shop assistants were busy receiving Qing Moyan.

"Our shopkeeper happened to be in a hurry, so he will be here soon." The clerk explained while serving tea.

Qing Moyan was playing with the teacup in her hand, but she didn't drink it.

The clerk peeked at Qing Moyan and saw that he never drank tea, he seemed a little anxious, "Mr. Qing, if you are not used to this tea, I will change it for you..." He stepped forward and lifted the teapot.

"No need." As soon as Qing Moyan finished speaking, the waiter said "Oops", the teapot took off his hand, and the spilled tea drenched him all over.

Xuanyu and the others immediately held their sword hilts and glared at each other.

The clerk turned pale with fright, and repeatedly blamed: "Young Master Qing, I didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't catch it... How about... How about you go to the back and change your clothes first..."

With a blank expression on her face, Qing Mo lifted her wet skirt to stand up, and followed the waiter into the yard behind the pharmacy.

There are three main rooms in the backyard, and the man entered the middle one with Qing Moyan.

As soon as she entered the door, Qing Moyan smelled a faint aroma of rouge.

"The clothes are all new, you can wear them without worry." The clerk said a few words in a hurry before leaving.

Qing Moyan looked around the room first, and finally her eyes fell on the screen covered with new clothes.

The faint aroma of rouge comes from here.

Because he always stays with the little thing, and the little thing never wears rouge or anything like that, so he is particularly sensitive to this smell on the woman's body.

He lightly buckled the scabbard spring, listening to the sound of footsteps approaching outside the door.

"Ma'am, the master will be back soon, have you changed your clothes yet?" A maid pushed open the door.

At the same time, there was an exclamation from a man outside: "What! Madam is also changing clothes in this room?"

The moment the door was pushed open, the corners of Qing Moyan's mouth twitched slightly, and at the same time her wrist sank slightly, the cold long sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and stabbed straight at the opposite screen.

"Ah!" A woman's scream came from behind the screen.

The maid who opened the door and the guy following behind were all stunned on the spot.

A bloody flower bloomed on the screen.

Qing Moyan pulled the sword out of the screen without hesitation.

There was a "gudong" sound from behind the screen, as if something fell to the ground.

The blood on the sword's edge was still wet, and the smell of blood spread, coupled with the side face of Qing Mo's face as cold as frost, the servant girl was frightened, and the pestle shivered into a ball.

In the end, the guy was the first to react and shouted: "Ma'am!"

In an instant, a large group of maids and women ran out of the yard, and they all crowded into the room here.

"What's wrong ma'am?"

"Why is there a foreigner in this room!"

"Who are you, madam changing clothes here, who allowed you to come in!"

A large group of people were making noise, but they were all dumbfounded when they came in.

Behind the screen, a young and beautiful woman fell there, wearing only a thin tunic, she fell there on her back, got a sword in the chest, and died.
