Chapter 9
After returning to his small courtyard in Siya, closing the courtyard door, and stepping into the secret room, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
He dared not tell anyone, because there was no evidence, and no one would believe him. On the contrary, he might startle the snake and cause endless troubles.Moreover, he didn't want to reveal it. If he could figure out a way to deal with that evil cultivator himself, whether it was in exchange for merit or time and space power, it would be able to solve his urgent needs.
At least, Lu Ming's trip was rewarding. He confirmed that Sun Ze was the culprit who assassinated him last time, and that he also colluded with Xie Xiu.
It seems that Sun Ze should not be sure that he has been suspected.In this way, when the light and dark were switched, Lu Ming became the party in the dark, holding a little bit of the initiative.As long as you seize the opportunity and proceed carefully, there is a lot to be done in this matter.
In the secret room, Lu Ming pondered over and over again, and finally sorted out his thoughts roughly.
The last time I saw Sun Ze accepting bribes was by no means simple. The Qinglian Gang of Qinglan City was not a pure medicine gang, but a stronghold of evil cultivators in the city.
Thinking about the black ant monster controlled by Xiexiu, it becomes even clearer. The Qinglian gang is helping Xiexiu secretly provide medicinal materials and information to help him raise monsters.And Sun Ze, the potential stock of the Demon Suppressing Division, is probably the bond and internal support of Xie Xiu and the Qinglian Gang.
Lu Ming bumped into that scene by accident, and Sun Ze was afraid of being exposed, so he wanted to use the hands of evil cultivators to kill people and silence them.
"By the way, ransacking the traditional Chinese medicine store in the city?" Lu Ming broke into a cold sweat when he thought of this.
Could it be that the root cause of the looting of the pharmacy in the city is actually here?Or, is he the one that the other party solves by the way?
No matter which one it is, Lu Ming felt terrified after thinking about it, and he might not be able to get away with it.
Fortunately, he was cautious and didn't get careless when he was lurking in the Changfeng Pharmacy. Otherwise, the black ant might not have pretended to surprise Sun Ze, but directly killed Lu Ming.
"If that's the case, the enmity between me and that evil cultivator will be great." Lu Ming thought of the six ant demons that were beheaded by Lao Hei outside the medicine hall, and suddenly became more depressed.
I'm afraid he has to take the blame for Old Hei.The key is that such a huge contribution cannot be counted on his head.
"Old Hei, this is what you owe me... Well, I have to use your color to repay...Give it to Miss Tie." Lu Ming quickly pulled himself together, thinking about those useless things.
"The ant monster hidden in Sun Ze's house is probably a late-ninth-rank monster. An evil cultivator who can control such a monster can't be bad, at least it must be a late-ninth-rank supernatural power." Lu Ming forgot Forget it, the biggest threat now is not Sun Ze, but that evil cultivator who doesn't know how deep he is.
The methods of the supernatural beings are mysterious and unpredictable, and the key point is that Lu Ming has never had direct contact with them, so he is even more afraid.
"It seems that if I want to protect myself, I have to have the strength of the late ninth rank, and I can't be noticed by outsiders." Lu Ming quickly made up his mind and had a new plan.
"Cultivation step by step is essential, but time is short, so I must make full use of my advantages." Lu Ming thought of the time and space in his body, and only relying on it can shorten this time.
For the time being, the living monsters are out of reach, and Lu Ming doesn't want to take the initiative to seek death, so he can only find another way out.
"Precious medicine, and it has to be a living precious medicine." Lu Ming once had a "hunger feeling" in the warehouse of Changfeng Pharmacy, and it was when the few potted plants of imported precious medicine were brought in.
That feeling was very familiar, just like when he had just killed the black ant demon.Therefore, Lu Ming confirmed that the time and space in the body is not indifferent to medicinal materials, but just not interested in ordinary things.
"It must be a living precious medicine." Lu Ming confirmed again.
This kind of precious medicine is available in Zhenyaosi Medicine Hall, and there are quite a few of them. There are even better eighth-rank precious medicines.However, now that Lu Ming has neither achievements nor much gold and silver, it is impossible to rob Chuangong Hall.
"Fortunately, Sun Ze provided me with a good place. Qinglian's pharmacy is the largest pharmacy in the city outside of Zhenyaosi's medicine hall." Lu Ming thought to himself: "Since you are not benevolent, don't blame me in Tangtang Township. The demon envoy has eliminated harm for the people."
"It's just that we have to plan more carefully, and we can't make any mistakes."
In the Shenwu Dynasty, medicinal materials were indeed a semi-monopolized industry by the government, but a small half was still reserved for the folks.
The Qinglian Gang is not an evil force on the surface, but a drug merchant gang with the backing of the Qinglan County Government. It is a major taxpayer in Qinglan County, so it can operate for a long time.
It seems that this kind of folk medicine gang mainly organizes some herbal collectors or farmers to gather medicine in the wilderness outside the city, or grow medicinal materials for a living.
But the Qinglian Gang is still not simple. Its leader, Sun Qinglian, is a solid ninth-rank true martial artist, and there are even a group of powerful medicinal warriors under her command, who are responsible for escorting herb pickers and herbal farmers, and guarding herbal shops.
Without this family background and strength, I can't hold on to the business that is making money today.
For the others, the current Lu Ming can be tough, but Sun Qinglian is more difficult, and whether the elusive evil cultivator will guard the medicine shop are all problems Lu Ming has to face.
Lu Ming didn't dare to do anything if he couldn't make sure everything was safe.Once you fail, not only will you be ruined, but you may die without a place to bury yourself.
Squat!
Lu Ming chose to squat down continuously, guarding until the clouds opened to see the moonlight.
As long as you can bear your temper and find out Sun Qinglian's travel rules, you can find loopholes.As for that evil cultivator, Lu Ming has long remembered his aura, and once he appeared, he would be aware of it.
Moreover, Lu Ming felt that the evil cultivator would not have dared to appear near the pharmacy, otherwise he would not have let Sun Ze contact the Qinglian Gang on his behalf.
After making the plan, Lu Ming started to disguise himself from the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and observed around the Qinglian Pharmacy in the center of the city every day, recording all suspicious persons and potential risks.
For three days and three nights in a row, Lu Ming didn't relax for a moment. After working tirelessly, he finally had a [-]% certainty.
Now, he even has a clear idea of how many customers the Qinglian Gang has every day, whether there are any insects and ants passing by, and how many alleys there are around.
On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Ming returned to his small courtyard, slept soundly all day, and then swallowed Qi and blood pills to adjust his state to its peak.
It wasn't until the second watch of the night that Lu Ming quietly walked out of the demon town, put on night clothes in the dark, walked with his face masked, and went straight to the pharmacy of the Qinglian Gang.
Lu Ming had already figured out that Sun Qinglian would stay in the pharmacy almost every day, and even lived in the backyard.However, this person would go to the brothel in the north of the city to drink and have fun almost every day around three o'clock, and he would return at four o'clock.
What Lu Ming wants is this one hour, which is enough.
Crouching on the roof opposite Qinglian Pharmacy, Lu Ming waited for another hour or so before seeing Sun Qinglian board a luxurious carriage and head towards the north of the city.
"It's done!" Lu Ming was secretly happy, but he didn't rush down, but still waited at the same place for half an hour.
That's not all, after he left the place with a cat waist, he walked around the Qinglian medicine shop again, and after confirming that there was no danger of an ambush, he went around the backyard of the medicine shop and climbed over the wall without making a sound.
It has to be said that Lu Ming's recent practice of 'Smoke and Cloud Walk' has been considered a small success, overcoming walls and plundering ground without making a sound.
However, Lu Ming still encountered some accidents. He heard indecent voices from a woodshed in the backyard.
Lu Ming took a sneak peek, and muttered with a strange expression: "There are surprises everywhere in life, and this accountant is the real winner in life."
