Chapter 34 Playing the long game to catch the big fish

The special envoy placed the box containing a pile of banknotes on the desk in the study room and quietly exited.

He waited anxiously and uneasily for two-quarters of an hour. When he came to the door of the study again, he opened the door with uneasiness.

When he saw the three boxes he was thinking about, he immediately rushed towards them. Check them one by one. Fortunately it's the original version. The little marks he made are still there. The secret of the ledger is also there.

A hanging heart finally fell to the ground. His head was temporarily saved, and so was his official position. As long as he didn't say that these things had been stolen from him, he would be safe.

He decided to send the banknotes and account books to the capital immediately. Not a moment longer. If you need a seal at all times, carry it with you.

That expert really came and went without a trace. He arranged four guards with very high martial arts skills in the corner of the study, ready to get the things and catch the thief together.

However, from beginning to end, they found no trace of anyone. In the blink of an eye, one box turned into three. The banknotes were collected, and the account books, seals and letters were quietly placed on the table.

Such a thing happened under the noses of four people. No one would believe it, but the special envoy did.

He arranged for four people to send away the account books and banknotes overnight, and then placed 200 guards around the granary. Although they are still afraid that the food will disappear out of thin air, there is nothing they can do!

Fortunately, the expert did not steal the account books and letters, nor did he touch the food.

After Xiao Yunyan took the banknote, she took a look at the special envoy's arrangements and knew what to expect. She ran quickly to the woods. He rode back to the county.

Her secret guard was ordered by her not to follow her, to sleep obediently, but not to take off her clothes, and to be ready to perform tasks at any time.

Now, she ran to where the secret guard lived. Two secret guards with yellow characters on night duty appeared in front of her. They knelt on one knee and asked their master for orders.

Xiao Yunyan asked the two of them to call two more masters of the earth character group to bring poison and antidote. Those who follow the special envoy to deliver the message to the capital must follow them and find out who these four people are connecting with? Find out who is behind the scenes?

Xiao Yunyan taught them how to wrap horses' hooves. This can shorten the tracking distance, avoid being discovered, and avoid losing the target.

Xiao Yunyan prepared enough pieces of thick linen cloth for them. There are also three bottles of spiritual spring water per person.

Instruct them that in addition to drinking water, whenever people and horses feel tired, they should take a small sip.

From the space, I spent 200 points to buy 20 large packs of compressed biscuits, each pack containing ten small pieces. Ask them to eat a small piece in small bites if they don't have time to eat while tracking, which is enough for half a day.

There are also five pills for each person to stop bleeding and promote muscle growth, and five pills for treating bruises.

These things were divided into four parts and put together into a leather chest bag redeemed with points.

The four secret guards received Xiao Yunyan's orders and the things prepared for them, and confidently promised that they would complete the mission. Then, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

With the princess's complete preparation, this errand was much easier than before.

Four secret guards were sent away. Xiao Yunyan also equipped other guards with a cowhide chest bag for each person. The content is also the same.

Xiao Yunyan sent them to follow the special envoy, Manager Li, and the four people who harmed Shan Liang.

Order them to protect their lives. It would be best to track their movements and find out all the important members of the organization who were secretly exchanging food, and then report them to her. Finally, catch them all.

Not a single secret guard was left around her, and the secret guards were worried about her safety.

Xiao Yunyan shook her hand, and a landscape stone in the garden suddenly shattered and turned into slag.

The secret guards rubbed their noses, this force value was not lower than them.

What they didn't know was that it was not internal power, but a thunder talisman that Xiao Yunyan took the time to draw in space. This is one of the skills she learned from her Taoist nun master in her previous life - drawing talismans.

The thunder talisman is the lowest level talisman. It can explode a large rock weighing three hundred kilograms. Wood, animals, etc. can be blown into powder.

However, she cannot use it casually on people, and she will not kill animals lightly. When necessary, she often uses drugs.

After arranging the secret guard matter, she was about to run out of pills again. There is no more poison powder. I have to make another batch of these right away.

Xiao Yunyan happened to have time to look for medicinal materials in the space. Everything else is enough, except for the venom of vipers, the venom of wasps, and the venom of toads.

These things are too expensive in the space mall. Comparable to the sky-high price. Her few points were simply not enough. This stumped her.

At this time, the voice of the Space Elf Calabash Baby sounded: "Master, Master, you can catch the venomous snake yourself and get the venom. Catch the wasp and get the stinger. Then catch a few toads and squeeze out the toad pods. Not only do you not need points, but you will also get points as a gift. , and there may be special rewards given. Master, come on!"

Xiao Yunyan really lost her temper. She said: "Thank you. I'm not afraid of catching venomous snakes. But catching wasps, pulling out stingers, catching toads, squeezing toads, such horrible things, I, a little girl, have to do it myself." Really? This space is really a trap!"

Calabash Baby felt a chill, what? The owner still calls himself a poor little girl? The master’s understanding of the word ‘poor’ is very biased. The owner has a problem with the age definition of the 'little girl'. Is it unclear about her married status? Could it be that I have been away from the male master for too long and have forgotten it?

Xiao Yunyan didn't know that Calabash Baby had been silent and was secretly complaining about her.

Xiao Yunyan wanted to go to the drug store to search, and she might be able to find these hard-to-gather medicinal materials.

She went directly to the major drug stores in the county. But there is no snake venom, no wasp venom, and even less toad venom. The clerk at the drug store said: "Sir, the items you want are all poisons that are readily available for use. They cannot be preserved.

If you want snake venom, you can go to the market to see if there are any venomous snakes for sale, and you can get the venom on the spot.

Toads and wasps are really not for sale. Either you catch them yourself or find someone to catch them and you buy them. "

Xiao Yunyan thanked the young man for his enthusiasm. He was rewarded with a piece of broken silver weighing five cents. Amid the boy's endless thanks, we went to the vegetable market first.

There really are live venomous snakes. Moreover, there are more than a dozen large king cobras. This venomous snake has so much venom that you can take one hundred milliliters at a time. One gram of dried snake venom only requires the venom of ten snakes.

She asked the snake seller if she could just take the venom and not the snake? Give him the money at the original price.

The snake seller readily agreed and even offered to help her get the venom.

Xiao Yunyan took out a glass bottle with a lid. Hand it to the snake seller. The snake seller held the exquisite bottle, thinking it was a glass bottle, and couldn't help but admire it.

This snake seller is very fast. Hold the snake's seven inches, pinch hard with your index finger and thumb, and the mouth of the bottle is exactly facing the snake's mouth. The snake is in pain and opens its mouth to attack with venom. As a result, every drop of the venom was poured into the glass bottle.

One snake shoots all its venom, and then another snake comes. That bottle, which can hold 500 milliliters, contains the venom of four snakes and needs to be replaced.

Xiao Yunyan pretended to take out three more bottles from her leather satchel. In fact, they are all purchased from the space mall.

It took the snake seller about two quarters of an hour to complete the task of getting the poison.

Xiao Yunyan was very grateful to this person. This life was very dangerous. Others stayed away from him for fear of being sprayed by the King Cobra's venom.

The snake seller is very honest and honest. Taking the ten taels of silver given by Xiao Yunyan, she was at a loss. He said: "There are too many. You don't want the snakes, just the venom. Even if all these snakes are sold, it only costs five taels of silver. I can't charge you so much money."

Xiao Yunyan said with a smile: "You deserve it, take it. Taking the venom is a life-threatening and dangerous job, so this money can be considered as a thank you for helping me."

The snake seller was still embarrassed to accept it. Xiao Yunyan asked casually: "Brother, can you catch toads and wasps?"

The snake seller scratched his head and replied honestly: "Young man, no one buys toads. They are everywhere in the fields and in the grass on the riverbank. They are so good to catch. Some people want wasps, and they use them to catch bee pupae and make wine. . But it’s not worth anything either. Do you want these things?”

Xiao Yunyan nodded and said: "Brother, if you can help me catch it, I will give you money. I want the venom from the toad, which is toad venom. I also want the poisonous needle from the wasp's tail."

I wonder if you could help me get these? "

The snake seller nodded and said, "These things are easier than catching venomous snakes."

Xiao Yunyan asked him how much money he wanted. The snake seller said: "You gave me so much silver, so I don't need to ask for any extra silver. I'll get it for you as much as you want."

Xiao Yunyan can't use people, promises, and things in vain, as much as they want. Give me another five taels as a deposit. Bring the things, and if there are a lot of them, give them money.

Xiao Yunyan and the snake seller agreed to meet here at early afternoon the day after tomorrow.

After solving the problem of poison raw materials, she had to find a way to help Shan Liang get out of trouble. He cannot be allowed to go to jail or even delay his future because there is no strong evidence and witnesses.

Xiao Yunyan changed her outfit. Even the makeup on her face has changed drastically. I can't see any similarities with the young man from last time.

Xiao Yunyan was in front of the county government office and asked the sentry guard to deliver a message, saying that there was new progress in Shan Liang's case. People who know the clues are waiting at the gate of the government office.

The sentry hurriedly delivered the message. After a short time, the sentry came back, followed by the county government master. When he saw Xiao Yunyan, who was disguised as a man with an unfamiliar face, he didn't dare to look down on her and immediately walked out of the government office at a faster pace.

The master first bowed his hands and asked politely: "Excuse me, this young master, what is your surname? Do you have any new clues about Shan Liang's case?"

Xiao Yunyan also returned the gift and replied in a modified voice: "Sir, my surname is Xiao. It is indeed a coincidence that I learned some new clues about Shan Xiucai's case. I want to meet the county magistrate."

The master immediately introduced himself: "Mr. Xiao, I am the master of the county government. My surname is Qiao. The county magistrate has ordered me to invite you to the back hall of the government office to have a talk."

Xiao Yunyan was introduced to Houya by Master Qiao. Magistrate Jia is busy writing a memorial. Seeing the master inviting a young man in silver brocade clothes to come in, he immediately invited Xiao Yunyan to sit down. I ordered the boy waiting at the side to serve tea quickly.

After some introductions, we immediately got to the point.

Magistrate Jia asked Xiao Yunyan to describe the new clues in detail. Xiao Yunyan said seriously: "Lord County Magistrate, Xiao has confirmed that those four people are the ones who harmed Shan Xiucai.

Moreover, Xiao’s friends have already gone after those people. The case they were involved in was much bigger than the murder case of Shan Xiucai.

For a while, those people are still useful and cannot be arrested and brought to justice immediately. "

The county magistrate heard that Mr. Xiao was not an ordinary person. He is most likely an imperial envoy sent by the emperor to investigate the case. However, since they didn't identify themselves, he didn't dare to identify them casually.

Magistrate Jia's attitude towards Xiao Yunyan suddenly became respectful and cautious. He asked Xiao Yunyan: "Mr. Xiao, the clues you provided are very important. Shan Xiucai was indeed framed.

However, if those four people are not caught, there will be no witnesses. If Shan Xiucai cannot be found not guilty, it will affect his scientific examination. "

Xiao Yunyan said calmly: "Master Jia, there is another most important witness. As long as she says that Shan Xiucai is innocent, Shan Xiucai will be proven innocent."

Mr. Jia was stunned, and after a moment, he asked Xiao Yunyan: "Mr. Xiao, you are talking about Rich Man Shan's new wife, Mrs. Shan? But she still hasn't woken up yet.

The wealthy man recruited famous doctors to treat his new wife. However, I have used acupuncture and given good medicinal herbs, but there is no effect. But it made Shan's family very worried.

Mrs. Shan's natal brother, who was said to have just recovered, heard that her sister had fainted and was still unconscious, so she begged someone to bring a message and come to visit her.

Rich man Shan was kind-hearted and took his mother-in-law and brother-in-law over and put the three of them in a courtyard with servants to take care of them.

Mrs. Shan’s mother was crying all day long. She also had eye problems and could not see clearly.

Alas... This family has been going through ups and downs since the death of the old scholar. How pitiful!

The rumors outside are getting worse, saying that the wife and children of the old scholar are really a family star.

Fortunately, the Shan family was kind-hearted and asked the servants to keep their mouths shut and not gossip in front of the uncle and the in-laws. Just try your best to take good care of the three of them. "

Xiao Yunyan kept nodding her head while listening. The virtues of this Shan family are really profound. Therefore, even if you encounter difficulties, you will still meet noble people.

She, Xiao Yunyan, was the noble person who helped Shan's family survive the disaster.

Xiao Yunyan said: "If Mr. Jia has a little leisure today, why not go to Shan's house with Xiao to see Mrs. Shan's mother, younger brother, and herself. Xiao knows a little bit about medical skills, so he might as well give it a try .”

Magistrate Jia suddenly became energetic. He recognized that Mr. Xiao was the young man who provided information about Zhuangzi in the suburbs. This person is absolutely extraordinary. He said he knew a little bit about medical skills and might be a hidden expert.

Magistrate Jia immediately invited Xiao Yunyan to go to Shan Caizhu's house with him. Because the county government office was only one street away from Shan's house, the two walked towards Shan's house.
