Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 244: The Beans from the Bamboo Tube

"Oh, yes, let's let Lord Yan do the trial." Wizard Mingluo nodded repeatedly after hearing this. At least he still tried the case, but this guy didn't have any intention of trying the case at all.

"Interrogation? What is there to interrogate? The potion must have been provided by this guy. Is there any need for an interrogation?" Yu Sicong occasionally touched the body of the wizard Mingluo, as if he was looking for a place with more flesh.

After searching several places, he shook his head in disappointment and now he was eyeing his abdomen.

"Ah, sir, sir, please ask me first, what if it's not me, right, sir, don't, don't..."

As Wizard Mingluo was explaining himself, he saw Yu Sicong raising the dagger in his hand with great force, and it was about to pierce his abdomen. He was so frightened that he closed his eyes.

After a while, there was no pain, so he opened his eyes again and saw that Yu Sicong had been pulled by Sang Mo and sat on a chair beside him.

"Master Yu, please calm down. Let's wait until the trial is over. In case what the old man says is useful, we will have less trouble." Sang Mo comforted Yu Sicong.

He had no doubt that if he did not take action, Yu Sicong would really dare to stab the dagger into the belly of the wizard Mingluo.

Although Yu Sicong was being pulled by Sang Mo, he still looked at Wizard Mingluo with vicious eyes. He would never let go of anyone who could make such a poison.

The wizard Mingluo nodded in fear, "I will tell you everything I know. Please spare my life, sirs."

Yan Nangui saw that Yu Sicong had stabilized a little and Sang Mo was watching from the side, so he turned his attention to the wizard Mingluo.

"four years ago……"

"Ah, four years ago, someone did buy medicine from me, and after buying the medicine, he wanted to kill me to silence me. Yes, that person."

Wizard Mingluo rushed to answer before Yan Nangui finished asking.

"That person..."

"That person? He was a man, about the same height as me, slightly fat. He met me twice, once for an appointment and once to get medicine. But he wore a veil both times, so I didn't see what he looked like."

This time, Wizard Mingluo did not wait for Yan Nangui to finish his question and rushed to answer.

After answering, he saw Yu Sicong stood up from the chair again. He was so scared that he quickly shouted, "Ah, I remember now. He, he, he has a white scar on the back of his hand, about an inch long, on... on the back of his right hand."

"Any more?"

"And, and...there must be more," the look on Wizard Mingluo's face at this moment made it hard to associate him with the famous Wizard Mingluo in the martial arts world.

"What else? Tell me quickly." Yu Sicong yelled.

"Four years ago, when that person came to me, I asked for one thousand taels of silver, but he agreed without even bargaining. Including those people who came to assassinate me later, I think they are the secret guards you mentioned, so, so,"

"So, I guessed at the time that it must be someone from the royal family, or someone who has some connection with the royal family."

Wizard Mingluo then told him all the information and speculations he had about that person over the years.

"He is just stalling for time. All he said was equivalent to saying nothing. There are so many people here, and we can't go around looking at the scars on people's hands," Yu Sicong said angrily, pretending to stand up again.

Wizard Mingluo's heart was trembling. Seeing him like this, his voice trembled a few times, and he quickly said, "And, and..."

Sang Mo laughed in his heart when he saw this. He didn't expect that a person who studied poisons and killed countless people was such a afraid of death.

"What else? Tell me now."

"Yes, yes," Wizard Mingluo looked at the wound on his arm. Although it was not bandaged, it was not bleeding much. He was relieved and said,

"I poisoned two of the people who tried to assassinate me. I found two things on them. I put them in the box I had before."

Yan Nangui understood which box he was talking about, and immediately waved to Lieutenant General Niu to go to the warehouse to find the box and bring it over.

Deputy General Niu nodded, then turned and left.

Wizard Mingluo was still unsure, worried that Yu Sicong would have another attack, so he quickly raised his head and looked at Yan Nangui, then said,

"Master Yan, those two things will definitely be useful and can definitely help you find that person. You must believe me."

Yan Nangui was also a little surprised at this time. Yu Sicong's accidental operation really brought out the wizard Mingluo's fear of death.

After a while, Lieutenant General Niu brought the box over.

"In the second grid from the left in the second row below." Wizard Mingluo took a look at the box. The things inside were still the same as he had originally arranged them. Then he said to Deputy General Niu.

Lieutenant General Niu followed his instructions and took out two things from the small compartment.

One was a silver note worth one hundred taels, and the other was a piece of human skin, only the size of a palm.

Deputy General Niu showed both items to Yan Nangui.

Wizard Mingluo went on to explain, "The banknote was found on the person who tried to assassinate me. I thought that checking the banknote might also help us find the person behind it, so I kept it. Over the years, I never spent it no matter how hard life was."

He was also worried that if he used this silver note, the other party would be able to track his whereabouts.

"The other is a tattoo on one of them, uh, on the inside of his upper arm."

"This..." After hearing what Wizard Mingluo said, and seeing the tattoo, which was a snake totem, Deputy General Niu's expression suddenly changed as if he had thought of something.

Yan Nangui also noticed it. They had seen such tattoos during interrogations recently.

That was the day when the Dali Temple caught fire. Among the arsonists who were arrested, three had such patterns on the inside of their upper arms, which were exactly the same as this snake totem.

Sang Mo looked at the two of them and knew that they had probably guessed the man's identity, so he walked over to see what was painted on the human skin.

Just as he picked up the human skin and wanted to observe it carefully, he heard the wizard Mingluo behind him shouting again.

"Ah, help, help, I've said it all, I've said everything, ah, help, sir..."

Yu Sicong seemed to have lost his mind at this time. He was holding a dagger and kept slashing and stabbing the wizard Mingluo. Blood was all over his face and body, making him look very hideous.
