"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Mr. Yi felt that there was a certain hope for his future. She hurriedly nodded and bowed to him.

"It seems that there are quite a lot of adults here.”Ye Meng muttered softly. Who was that " boss "? Could it be that there was a big fish hiding behind this case?
"Since they dare to privately mint coins, I believe there must be a big fish supporting them. Otherwise, how much trouble can a few crayfish cause?”He Tang stood at the side and analyzed in a low voice.
"Looks like this time, I don't know how many well-dressed people have been implicated.”Ye Meng recalled that in her previous life, she had seen the news every time. It said that a certain chief and secretary had been imprisoned for corruption and bribery. Each of them looked haggard when they were captured, their hair was disheveled, and their clothes were dirty. She had no idea that a few days ago, he was still standing in front of the microphone in a formal suit, shouting about justice and honesty.
It seemed that the bad habits of officials had been like this since ancient times.
After the two of them walked further and further away, Ye Meng and the others stood up from behind the cauldron. However, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
" Do you think that adult just now was…" Ye Meng twirled her hair. He guessed.
"It's the imperial envoy." He Tang continued. In fact, he was the same as Ye Meng.
Because if that imperial envoy wasn't this Lord Huang, then where would the imperial envoy be? Besides, what other lord could there be in the vicinity besides the imperial envoy who had been "kidnapped"?
Moreover, they were doing a covert coin-making business. Logically speaking, they should be very cautious. The more low-key they were, the better. Therefore, how could they be so bold as to kidnap an imperial envoy and attract the attention of others?
If this made sense, then it meant that the imperial envoy's robbery, the haunted house, and a series of other things were just superficial. It was just a play that they had directed and acted out.
It was to divert other people's attention so that they could hide the fact that they were privately minting coins here. However, all of this was just a guess. They had no evidence yet. If they had escaped before the captured soldiers arrived, everything would have been turned into nothing.
"Then what should we do now?" He Tang suddenly asked.
"Find evidence." It seemed that Ye Meng and He Tang had the same thought again. The two of them looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.
"Then, where do you think we should start investigating, Miss Ye?”He Tang's blue eyes were filled with more anticipation and less melancholy.
"What do you think, Doctor He?" Ye Meng looked at He Tang and threw the question back to him.
"Constable Han." The two of them said in unison. As soon as they finished speaking, they could not help but laugh. It seemed that they were thinking the same thing.
Actually, the reason why he chose Constable Han was mainly because she had Constable Han's token. He could no longer escape. Moreover, from his conversation with the others just now, he could tell that Constable Han was definitely the kind of person who would drag someone down with him even if he died.
Especially when he said,"I hope the people above will remember me."”It also meant that he would not choose to take the blame alone. Once something happened, he would definitely not let others be alone.
This meant that he had the capital, which meant that he had absolute evidence.
It seemed that this Constable Han was also a cunning person.
"But now is not the time to find evidence.”Ye Meng suddenly said," I think we should think of a way to make sure that no one here can escape. Then we can slowly find evidence."”
"No way to escape?" He Tang was puzzled.
"Then I'll have to leave it to you." Ye Meng winked at him.
At this moment, He Tang's originally calm heart started to waver, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Ah, right." Ye Meng seemed to have thought of something." Doctor He, how's the effect of your medicine in water?"”
"In the water?" He Tang was puzzled. The next moment, he suddenly realized," Miss Ye, you're not thinking…" He Tang did not finish his sentence, but the meaning behind his words was very clear. He had mixed the high concentration of anesthetic powder in the water and then waited for these people to drink it so that they would not have to waste so much effort to deal with each one of them.
"Miss Ye, don't worry. There's no problem with my medicine.”He Tang nodded without hesitation.
As they spoke, the two of them left the underground palace and walked toward the kitchen. However, when he passed by the backyard, he saw a well. Ye Meng felt that the well water might be the one they used more often, so she threw a few bags into the well. Then, when the people in the kitchen were busy, she sprinkled a few packets of medicine into the dishes.
Because there were fewer people guarding the kitchen, everything went smoothly.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy to enter this place.”Ye Meng clapped her hands and sighed. However, they did not notice that someone was leaping towards them from behind.
" It's easy to come in, but going out…" A voice suddenly came out of nowhere. His tone was cold and filled with killing intent.
"This is bad." Ye Meng's heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling. This person looked like he knew martial arts, but it was a pity that she and He Tang could not beat him.
Just as she was thinking, a long sword was already placed on her neck. The blade of the sword in the middle of the night was emitting a cold light." Don't move!”
The man moved his sword closer to Ye Meng's neck, warning Ye Meng and He Tang who was trying to make a move.
"Hand over the antidote." That person's voice was rough and without a trace of emotion. His tone was full of toughness.
"I don't have the antidote." Ye Meng said softly, but her mind was busy thinking about how to get rid of this person as soon as possible. Otherwise, when more people came later, their plan would be completely ruined.
It would be great if Qi Lu was here. Ye Meng thought for a while and felt the cold sword on her neck. He Tang was also being watched closely. For a moment, neither of them could break the situation.
Just as Ye Meng was wondering when Qi Lu would arrive, a long sword pierced through the sky.
Feeling the murderous intent, the man pushed Ye Meng away and hit her with his internal energy. Then, he turned around and quickly parried Qi Lu's attack.
The two of them soon began to fight, but the sound became louder and louder.
"Qi Lu, don't fight for too long!" Ye Meng said softly. She was worried that if they made too much of a fuss, even if they got rid of the person in front of them, it would still be detrimental to them.
Hearing Ye Meng's voice, Qi Lu dodged the sword and stabbed two silver needles at the man's face.
"Hmph, small tricks." That person had a look of disdain on his face as he turned around and easily dodged the attack.
"Uncle, your eyes are not good, right?" Qi Lu had already landed steadily on the ground. He pointed at that person's leg and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
The man quickly looked down at his feet, but he didn't find anything. As soon as he looked up, a silver needle pierced his neck.
It turned out that Qi Lu had been lying to him just now to distract him before launching a sneak attack. The man glared at Qi Lu fiercely, then closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
"I told you, your eyesight isn't good." Qi Lu walked over and kicked his leg.
"Alright, young man. You know how to play tricks." Ye Meng nodded and praised. She finally felt that this child was worth teaching.
"What? I've always been smart.”Qi Lu raised his head and said smugly," It's just you guys. Why are you so slow?”Qi Lu crossed his arms in front of his chest and said unhappily. He had been chatting with those mysterious " white shadows " for a long time, and his mouth was almost dry. He was about to get some water when he saw Ye Meng being held by the neck with a long sword. He did not have time to react before he raised his sword and stabbed over.
"This time, you really came at the right time.”Ye Meng gave him a thumbs up. For the first time, she thought Qi Lu was a cute person.
"Haha, is that so? " Qi Lu touched the back of his head and suddenly remembered what he was here for. He quickly ran to the well and shouted as he ran,"I'm dying of thirst.“
" Hey-" He Tang stopped him." Brother Qi, you can't drink the water here."“
"Why? "Qi Lu is a little unhappy that the place he finally found to drink water was stopped by this pretty boy.
"We just sprinkled the powder inside.”He Tang said apologetically. He did not know that Qi Lu would suddenly want to drink water, so all the water in the house had been drugged.
"Ah?" Qi Lu wailed in despair.
"Alright, go back and drink later.”Ye Meng signaled for him to stop making a scene. She then pointed at the person on the ground and said," What should we do with this person now?”
"Tie him up and drag him to the woodshed over there.”He Tang pointed to a house next to him.
After settling these matters, the group left the residence. It was already late at night. The three of them walked on the road abruptly. In order to avoid being discovered, they pretended to be the coachman and the white shadow guarding behind them. The three of them ran out again under heavy guard.
"Where are we going next? "He Tang asked. It's impossible for the two of them to go back to the inn now. If they go back now, it will easily arouse the suspicion of the other people in the inn.
"How about this?" Ye Meng gestured for Qi Lu to come over and said,""Qi Lu, return to Ningzhou Prefecture as soon as possible and report the situation here. Then, apply for help and rush back as soon as possible.
"He Tang, you're in charge of going back and making a few more prescriptions. You might need them later.”Ye Meng said.
"What about you?" Qi Lu asked," Do you want to come with me?”
"No, I have more important things to do.”Ye Meng's eyes flashed as she said with a deeper meaning.
"Ye Meng is too dangerous." He Tang could guess what she was going to do from her eyes and quickly advised," Why don't I go?"”
"Where are you guys going?" Qi Lu, who had not participated in the discussion, was confused by what they were talking about.
"If you go, should I make the medicine?" Ye Meng asked back, which made He Tang not know how to respond." Alright, that's it. Qi Lu will go back to Ningzhou government office, He Tang will prepare the medicine, and I will go to Constable Han's house to find evidence."”
"You want to go to Constable Han's house?" Qi Lu asked curiously," Why did you go to his house to find evidence?”
"Brother Qi still doesn't know that the haunted house is a place for privately minting coins. Moreover, this matter is related to Constable Han, including the missing imperial envoy.”Seeing that he still had questions, He Tang explained kindly.
"Constable Han?" Qi Lu tried to recall. Even though he was not familiar with Ye Meng, he was still shocked when he heard the news. Then, he remembered that Constable Han was a martial artist. If he was discovered, wouldn't it be dangerous?
