“What did you find?” Qian Jiyun asked him.
Yan Nuo reported, “General, we can confirm that the riverbank was blown up. Coincidentally, so villagers had previously conversed with the people. Their accents sounded like they’re not from the border.”
“They’re not from the border?”
Qian Jiyun’s thin lips curled up slightly. Was Prince Lei Ting colluding with people outside Daqing Kingdom?
How dare he! Who gave him the guts to do such a thing?
“Yes, they’re not from the border. Also, we found—”
“General, we tracked down the people who created the poison ntioned by Miss Jiuyue.” Deputy General Sun suddenly rushed in and interrupted Yan Nuo.
Even the calm Qian Jiyun stood up from his chair.
“Where?”
“They’re very cunning. They’re located in more than one place,” Deputy General Sun said.
If they had not reacted in ti, they would have been fooled. They had only tracked down one place initially—it was Pharmacist Yin’s residence.
Only after soone left the residence to send word did they follow them to another place.
It was a coincidence. They could tail them to another location because those people were too stupid.
“Did you take them down?” Qian Jiyun asked.
“Well…” Deputy General Sun hesitated for a mont before continuing.
“We’re the only ones who followed them from one side and captured all of them. We’re also in the process of transporting the poison back. But we’re not the only ones spying from the other side, so we did not attack imdiately.”
Qian Jiyun closed his eyes.
“These are my orders; send word imdiately. Kill the pharmacist who developed the poison on the spot and burn all the poison. There’s no need to transport them back.”
Why did they bring the poison back? Were they waiting to be intercepted on the way?
He thought the other group spying on the other side should belong to An Jiuyue. He had to give his wife so face.
“Did you find out who he is?”
“Yes. He’s from Li Kingdom. I haven’t found out who he is yet,” Deputy General Sun said.
“Li Kingdom.” Yan Nuo was stunned.
Li Kingdom was located to the north of Daqing Kingdom. Why did they co to the southern border to cause trouble?
“Unfortunately, our n were careless and allowed him to escape,” Deputy General Sun added angrily.
They had wanted to dig up more information, but that person was so vigilant and ran away as soon as he realized he was being watched.
He was like a slithery fish. Catching him was not easy!
“He ran away real quickly,” Yan Nuo remarked hatefully.
“Old Sun, did you find anything else?”
“I don’t know the details, but there should be solid evidence that the people of Li Kingdom colluded with Prince Lei Ting.”
As Deputy General Sun spoke, he wondered what kind of retribution Prince Lei Ting would receive. They knew Prince Lei Ting had significantly benefited from this epidemic.
How could soone who accepted money earned from the dead with a clear conscience not suffer retribution?
…
Young Master Tan was still in the courtyard of Pharmacist Yin’s residence, waiting for a response.
He knew very well that sothing was wrong. Sothing must have happened over there. He could not sit here and wait to die.
There seed to be more and more people outside. He could barely protect himself. He did not want to care about the others, but he was still hesitating about whether he should take Pharmacist Yin away.
