Chapter 559: Blackheart Pills
What's the situation? An Xiabai looked at the black-clothed man on the ground who had already choked his breath and was frightened, if it weren't for Nan Hui here, I'm afraid something would definitely happen to her tonight!
An Xiabai immediately squatted down and pulled the veil of the man in black, and the two people behind him also shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know each other. An Xiabai began to search his body, but found a jade pendant on this person's waist.
"Why is this jade pendant so familiar?" An Xiabai muttered quietly, looking at this jade pendant carefully, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere.
"What's wrong with the queen?" Qi Changjun saw An Xiabai staring at Yu Pei in a daze, so he asked.
"Do you know this jade pendant?" Minami Hinoki also asked.
An Xiabai stood up with the jade pendant tightly in his hand, a knot in the middle of his eyebrows, and he was still seriously thinking about the owner of this jade pendant.
"Tang Hongqing!" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in An Xiabai's head, and she finally remembered where she had seen this jade pendant. Although An Xiabai and Tang Hongqing have met only a handful, she remembers this jade pendant very well, because she thought the jade pendant was very good at that time, and specially asked Tang Hongqing to take it off for herself!
On the other hand, although he has been busy treating the plague patients, he has not been idle. Lu Li found that there were a lot of herbs circulating recently, not to mention the price, and there was no curative effect, so he specially dressed up and prepared to conduct a secret investigation.
"Your Majesty, it's very dangerous for you to go out like this!" Lu Li's personal guards were worried about Lu Li's safety, it would have been dangerous for people with diseases to go out on this street, but now he even went out to investigate the medicinal herb factory single-handedly, isn't it obvious that they are worried?
"Don't worry, my disguise skills are quite passable. Besides, no one here knows that I am the emperor, I am incognito, how can I be in danger? Lu Li smiled, in fact, he had thought about these problems that the guards had said, but later they were all vetoed by himself.
If you want to keep yourself safe, you must first prevent yourself from becoming the target of public criticism. So how can you not become the target of public criticism? That is, of course, not to draw attention to others. Lu Li thought, if he went out and brought a large group of people and horses, then others would definitely doubt his identity, wouldn't it be self-defeating at that time?
"But......" The guard looked anxious, he knew that he couldn't control the emperor's thoughts, but he was still anxious for him.
"Don't worry, Jiren has his own nature, I am the son of heaven, and I won't have an accident easily." Lu Li patted him on the shoulder, and went out with a light backpack on his back.
He specially glued himself a beard. In this way, you will look more old-fashioned and more serious, and it will be easier for others to believe in you.
But as soon as Lu Li went out, he bumped into Su Elegy, who happened to come to find him.
"Why are you here?" Lu Li asked, wondering if Su Wangge knew about his actions. But then I thought, how did she know? So I can't help but start to doubt her.
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter has something important to report, so we can't talk about it here!" Su Wangge looked very nervous, and looked left and right, as if she was really afraid that others would know about what she was about to say.
"Okay, then you come with me!" Lu Li took Su Elegy to his room, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and prepared to listen to Su Elegy.
"Your Majesty, Minnu recently has a black-hearted pharmaceutical factory that is producing some fake medicines, these medicinal materials are not only expensive, but also have no curative effect, so Minnu went out to investigate." Su Wangge reported truthfully, but it aroused Lu Li's serious curiosity.
Lu Li thought, why did Su Wangge already go out to investigate this matter just when he was about to investigate this matter, this matter is a bit too coincidental, right?
"And then?" With a slight smile in his eyes, Lu Li took a sip of tea and asked.
"The folk girls have discovered their industrial chain, in fact, they send the medicinal materials they produce to several pharmacies, and then sell the medicinal materials through these pharmacies, and finally they will share it." Su Wangge looked conclusive when he spoke, and the firmness in his eyes was unquestionable.
"Then do you know which pharmacies they are?" Lu Li continued to ask, thinking that if what Su Elegy said was true, wouldn't he have done himself a great favor?
"The folk girl doesn't know much, there are probably three pharmacies, and I can't be sure if they have other medicine outlets, so ......" Su Wangge said here and suddenly stopped, Lu Li asked her what was wrong, and continued.
"So the people think that the people girl may not be able to solve this matter with the strength of the people alone, so the people girl specially came to the emperor to tell the emperor, hoping that the emperor can solve this problem with lipstick." Su Elegy bent over, arched his hands, and his attitude was very sincere.
"Su Elegy, you are a very smart person, and you have done a very good job in this matter, I happened to be going to investigate this matter, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me, it's really enough." Lu Li praised Su Elegy, and then stood up.
"Wake up, I'll call someone. You take us to the pharmacies you know. After speaking, Lu Li asked Su Wangge to wait for him in the courtyard, and then went to call someone.
"Your Majesty, the three pharmacies I found are all in the east of the city." They set up the carriage while Su Elegy reported.
"Good, you did a very good job this time." Lu Li praised Su Elegy in a particularly perfunctory manner, and then was speechless all the way.
According to Su Elegy's instructions, the guards brought by Lu Li arrested the owners of the three black-hearted pharmacies, and after bringing them back, they were severely tortured, and finally knew the location of the black-hearted pharmacies.
"Remember, we must catch the owner of this pharmaceutical factory for a while, and capture the thief and the king first, otherwise everything we have done will come to naught."
Outside the door of the pharmaceutical factory, Lu Li arranged the task and gave some pressure.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!"
Maybe the first few missions were done perfectly, but this time they also successfully completed the task. But instead of catching the boss, they caught an ordinary worker.
"Say, what's your name?" On the carriage, Lu Li's most trusted guard asked.
"My name is Li Ao, just an ordinary worker here, don't beat me." Saying that, the one who was caught covered his head with his hands, and he was particularly scared of cashing in.
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, we will never be rude." The guard asked him where his boss was, but he said he didn't know.
"Our boss's whereabouts are so mysterious that we don't see him at all. I'm just an ordinary worker, because my family is poor, and it was the boss who gave me the opportunity to come here to make money. But I really don't know what they did, so can you let me go? Li Ao's eyes blinked, and his face was full of fear.
Lu Li felt that this Li Ao was not lying, and he also felt that he was very honest, so he decided to lure him to tell him the information of the black-hearted pharmaceutical factory.
"It's getting late today, and you're still injured, I'll find a doctor to help you heal, have a good rest, and talk about it tomorrow." After Lu Li finished speaking, he asked Li Ao to be bandaged simply.
"Your Majesty, do you really believe what Li Ao said?" The guard asked, he didn't believe Li Ao very much.
"But now we don't have a better way, do we?" Lu Li's words hit the nail on the head, and the guards were speechless.
Early the next morning, Lu Li personally brought breakfast to Li Ao. Seeing Lu Li's sincere face, Li Ao cried a little sadly.
"What are you crying about?" Lu Li saw a big man suddenly crying in front of him, and he immediately felt a little panicked.
"Yesterday I thought you were going to kill me, but I didn't expect you to be so good to me, better than my boss was to me." I don't know if it's intentional or not, Li Ao mentioned his boss.
"As you said, you are just an ordinary worker, and you can't be embarrassed by me. Since you mentioned your boss and you said you haven't seen him much, do you know where he often goes? Lu Li took the opportunity to talk.
"My boss did say that he often went to the black forest twenty miles to the south to collect medicine, but I don't know when he went." Li Ao said casually, wiping his tears while eating the noodles sent by Lu Oak.
Lu Li smiled, and after coming out of Li Ao's room, he went to order his guards to set off for the black forest in the south in a quarter of an hour.
"Su Elegy, you have a lot of credit for this incident, you can go with us in a while." Lu Li specially called Su Elegy, because she was more familiar with this matter, and the other was that she was a doctor, and in case of any accidents, it would be more convenient for her to be next to her.
Su Elegy agreed, and then set off with them.
On the carriage, Li Ao said something about his boss intentionally or unintentionally, and according to Lu Li's investigation one by one, they finally set several arrest locations.
The group came to the black forest, but before they could go far, Li Ao was bitten by a poisonous snake. At that time, he was rolling on the ground in pain, his lips were purple, he was sweating profusely, and his pupils seemed to be dilating.
"Your Majesty, let me try." Just when Lu Li was at a loss, Su Elegy appeared. She helped Li Ao to sit under a tree and squeezed out the poisonous blood with her hands.
"How?" Lu Li came over to ask in person, thinking that if Li Ao died, the information behind him would be gone.
"Your Majesty, there's nothing big going on, I'll just bandage him." Su Elegy reported truthfully, and asked Lu Li to eat something, so as not to have no physical strength for a while.
After Lu Li walked away, there were only two people left, Su Wangge and Li Ao. Su Wangge smiled suddenly, Li Ao was stunned for a moment, and then asked why Dr. Su was laughing.
Su Wangge stopped the hand that was bandaging Li Ao, and stared at Li Ao with two eyes, and there was something else in his eyes.
"Why is Dr. Su looking at me like this? Is there something on my face? Li Ao raised his hand and wiped it on his face a few times, only to find that Su Wangge was still staring at him.
"Doctor Su, what are you ......" Li Ao was at a loss.
