Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 227: Unable to Produce Children

When Doctor Feng returned to the men's guesthouse to look for herbs, the fight there had already ended. Some of the killers were killed, some were captured. Even the innkeeper and the waiter were tied up. Feng Wuzui saw Yu Jingyan and walked up to him to check his pulse. He had also gone to Qiao Lili's place, so it was inevitable that he had inhaled some poison, but after a careful examination, he was found to be fine.

"I took the detoxification pill." Yu Jingyan quickly told Feng Wuzui, meaning that he had thought of it.

"Yeah, you're fine. It seems that this poison is specifically targeted at women." Feng Wuzui thought that he couldn't stay in that yard anymore, so he said to Yu Jingyan, "Let someone call the five of them over. I'll go make the antidote."

Feng Wuzui walked away and turned back to say, "Let them take a bath and change their clothes. Burn the clothes they are wearing." There will inevitably be residues on clothes and hair, so it is best to clean them carefully.

Yu Jingyan had the same idea. It would be safer if they were all together. He thought of what Feng Wuzui had said just now. It meant that the poison in their bodies had not been completely eliminated. Otherwise, why would they need to make an antidote? But he couldn't pull Feng Wuzui to ask at this moment. He was worried about Qiao Lili, so he went to the women's guest house to pick them up in person.

The five women came out after bathing, changing clothes and dressing up. Doctor Feng Shen's medicine was ready. This was the fastest way to take it. They could take it immediately without spending time and effort to make it into pills. He was too anxious just now and made a mistake. When all the herbs were ready, he suddenly remembered that he just needed to boil it and drink it.

At the same time, the results of the interrogation came out. This town, and even the inns in several nearby towns, received a mission seven days ago. Any group of more than ten people staying in the inn, whether male or female, must be killed. If they cannot be killed, they will be poisoned first. In short, no one can be spared. For every group of people killed, they will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins. If a group is spared, they will be compensated with their lives.

The killers who dealt with the male guests were hired by the shopkeeper, and the ones who dealt with the female guests were their own thugs. The medicine was delivered together with the mission.

After getting this information from the interrogators, they also went out to investigate. They found out that there were indeed several caravans with many people disappearing inexplicably recently. Moreover, a similar caravan was secretly destroyed last night, and all the people were thrown into a mass grave.

The five people took the medicine according to the dosage given by Feng Wuzui and waited for it to take effect. Only then did Feng Wuzui have time to talk to everyone about the poison they had been poisoned with.

"On the surface, this poison looks like a drug that can detoxify you. It will be fine if you take any kind of antidote pills. However, in fact, it leaves a subtle poison in the victim's body. If the poison cannot be detoxified within three days, the victim will be unable to have children for life."

"This poison is somewhat inexplicable." Xiao Wenchu ​​said.

"It's not inexplicable, it's targeted." Qiao Lili thought that this was deliberately targeting a woman, but she didn't know which woman it was, so she drugged all the women.

"Are they targeting you? They know you're the Crown Princess of Dayan, so they poison you like this, leaving our Dayan throne without a successor?" Yu Jingyan felt that the only person worth all the trouble was Qiao Lili's identity.

"No, if they knew she was the Crown Princess of Dayan, she would definitely be with the Crown Prince. If they knew the two of us had entered Western Turkestan, they would have surrounded us with a large army and would never let us leave Western Turkestan alive. Petty tactics like this are not enough." Qiao Lili frowned and analyzed, who exactly were they targeting?

"No matter who they are targeting, let's change our clothes and turn into men's clothes." Shang Zhen said. He previously felt that having women in the caravan would give people a sense of safety, trust and non-danger. So although Qiao Lili and the other four were all in disguise, they still dressed as women, but their looks were very ordinary. Since they were targeting a caravan with women, why not disguise themselves as men? It wouldn't be difficult.

Xiao Wenchu ​​and Huiming, who are in their teens, have probably spent more time dressing up as men than as women. Qiao Lili has also dressed up as a man many times. Caiqi and Caixing have been practicing martial arts since childhood and are naturally more heroic. Any of these people, if they dress up as a man, can look real.

Qiao Lili suddenly thought of a question: "Were all the bodies moved to the mass grave? Was it a random mass grave or a designated mass grave? Manager Shang, go and interrogate them again and ask them if they were told how to deal with the bodies."

Shang Zhen took the order and left.

"Brother Jing, let's divide the team into four small teams. This way, each team will have less than ten people and will not attract attention. In addition, we have to take over this inn temporarily, and we can't let the news that we killed someone leak out. Find a few people with similar body shapes in our team, disguise them as the shopkeeper and waiter, and continue the business."

"Okay, let's not leave yet. We need to find the mastermind behind this incident and get the latest information here. Maybe we can wait for the next person to come with the task." Yu Jingyan said.

At this time Shang Zhen came back, and the news he brought back was that all the bodies in the town were thrown into a mass grave in the woods west of the town.

Qiao Lili looked out the window. It was still dark. She said to Yu Jingyan, "Shall we go and take a look?" Let's see what kind of people were killed. Since they designated a place to put the bodies, the bodies must still be useful. Are they trying to confirm their identities?

"I'll go with you." Doctor Feng also wanted to see if the corpses were poisoned.

"Grandpa Feng, let's not go now. We might encounter enemies lurking in the dark. It will be very dangerous. I know you want to confirm whether those corpses are also poisoned. There is no rush. Wait until we have resolved all the dangers before you go." Feng Wuzui is an excellent doctor, but his martial arts skills are average. He is also old. It will be inconvenient to hide, escape, or fight if we take him with us. He is so old, and if he is not well protected and gets injured, it will be terrible.

Feng Wuzui listened to the advice, especially what Qiao Lili said. He was a rebellious miracle doctor in front of others, but in front of Qiao Lili, he was just an old man who listened to his granddaughter. His granddaughter was doing it for his own good and considering his future. Why wouldn't he listen? He was not rebellious, so why did he have to cause trouble for the child?

Shang Zhen wanted to go with the two of them, but Qiao Lili kept him back. There were many things waiting to be dealt with in the inn. When the sun rose, the inn would open, and the shopkeeper and the waiter would have to welcome guests. A series of things had to be done, and there had to be no one to take care of things. Shang Zhen was more meticulous.

Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan, along with Xiang Dazhuang and Tang Chengmin, a group of four, hid their tracks, left the inn, and headed straight for the mass grave in the woods west of the town.

When they arrived at the grove, they heard the light of torches flickering in the woods. The four of them exchanged glances, divided into two teams, and tiptoed towards the fire.

"Coming here to scalp people every day and walking in the dark to the mass graves in five towns is not a job for a human being. I might as well go kill people." I heard a cursing voice.

Another voice scolded him: "This is the last town. Go back and report after you finish harvesting. Watch your mouth and be careful." The two of them talked loudly, with no intention of being on guard against anyone.

"It's over, let's go." The torches went out, and the two of them used their Qinggong skills to leave. Yu Jingyan gave Xiang Dazhuang and Tang Chengmin a gesture, and the two of them followed quietly.

After the few people left, Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan appeared. They lit a fire and checked the bodies on the mass grave. Some of them had been dead for many days and the stench was unbearable. They covered their mouths and noses and walked towards the place where the two people had just talked.

There were more than thirty corpses lined up there, both men and women. Yu Jingyan brought the tinder closer to the corpses to examine them, and Qiao Lili also lowered her head to observe carefully.

Nothing was found on the man's body, so we looked at the women's bodies.

It didn't matter what she saw, Qiao Lili was horrified.
