Chapter 422: Mystic Spices
Zhao Yunling's brows furrowed slightly, listening to Rong Yan's description just now, this trafficker must have deliberately concealed the most important part, and he couldn't even ask about torture, it must be a shocking secret.
I want to ask but can't ask...... Zhao Yunling fell into deep thought, she lowered her head and thought for a while, and suddenly realized that she had received a special spice from her family's spice shop two days ago, which could make people confide in the truth.
Zhao Yunling's eyes lit up, just in time to give this trafficker a try.
Rong Yan noticed her expression and asked her suspiciously, "Yun Ling, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhao Yunling waved his hand and said with some excitement, "Rong Yan, I have thought of a way to make the traffickers tell all the secrets hidden in their hearts." ”
Rong Yan looked at her with a mysterious expression, and continued to ask with some curiosity, "Oh! What is it that makes it so magical? ”
Zhao Yunling didn't continue to sell Guanzi, so he opened his mouth to explain to him, "I also remembered it just now, when I was sorting out the new products in the spice shop before, Wang Erquan mentioned to me that a newly discovered novel spice has a hypnotic effect, and he will answer whatever you ask him to say, I also thought that the new product has been remembered, and now it has a big effect." ”
Rong Yan also raised his eyebrows a little unexpectedly, he didn't expect that there was such a thing in the world, but it just happened to be able to help them, and I don't know if it was useful.
"Have you ever used it?" Rong Yan raised his own questions in time.
Zhao Yunling shook his head, "I've been busy with Rong Rong in the palace for the past few days, and I haven't had a chance to contact the new spices in the store, so let's try it first, and become a live horse doctor." ”
Rong Yan felt that what she said was very reasonable, and there was no other better way at the moment, so he agreed, and the next day, Zhao Yunling personally went to the spice shop to retrieve the mysterious spices and use them on the traffickers.
Zhao Yunling took Cuizhu to the spice shop together, and happened to meet Wang Erquan, who was sorting out the account books.
Wang Erquan was also surprised when he saw Zhao Yunling, and then led the two into the inner room with a smile on his face to talk.
"Miss, why did you come to the store today?" Wang Erquan asked with a humble smile.
Zhao Yunling said lightly, "Didn't you bring me a mysterious spice before?" Do you still have it in the store? ”
Wang Erquan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and hesitated for a few seconds before he knew what kind of spice Zhao Yunling was talking about, "Miss, what you want to say is a hypnotic Xuanxuan spice, right?" ”
Zhao Yunling nodded and stretched out his hand for him to take it out.
Wang Erquan even understood what she meant, and muttered as he went to take it, "Miss, you don't know how mysterious this thing is, at that time, a customer thought that the novelty bought some, but after two days, he made trouble at the door of the store, saying that the hypnotic effect was too good, causing the family to be disharmonious, and he was clamoring to report to the official, how dare I let him go to the yamen, and immediately lost some money, and also sealed this mysterious spice again." ”
After that, Wang Erquan handed over a small box of the remaining Xuanxu spices to Zhao Yunling, and pouted, "Miss, you better take away all this harmful thing, I'm afraid the store will be smashed if you sell it again." Wang Erquan is not unreasonable, after all, this special spice still cannot be circulated in the market, which can easily lead to chaos in society.
Zhao Yunling nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Wang Erquan with a serious face, "If you want to buy some new varieties of spices in the future, you must inform me in advance before putting them on the shelves." ”
Wang Erquan pursed his lips and nodded, he had no right to interfere with what Zhao Yunling did with this spice, just remember what Zhao Yunling said, and do his job well.
Zhao Yunling and Cuizhu took the carriage directly to Dali Temple, and Rong Yan was already waiting there.
......
At the same time, on the other side of the city, the people deployed by Yue Qing were already eyebrow-raising by the dawn of the day.
"Lord Qiyue, three of the accomplices have been caught." A guard came to pay a respect, and Yueqing held on to the hilt of her sword and nodded slightly, with no smile on her face.
"Let's take a look." Yueqing said indifferently, and after wiping the saber on her body, she followed the young general to the scene of the arrest.
"You're an accomplice to the trafficker?" Yueqing spoke slowly, her voice low but with a deterrent effect, which made people shudder.
The arrested traffickers disguised themselves as traders and kept hiding in the dark, but they still couldn't escape the layers of search and arrest by the secret guards, and they were caught before dawn.
"You have arrested the wrong person, I am a flat-headed common man, you abuse your power so much to arrest people, aren't you afraid that I will tell the current emperor?" The vendor was still unusually hard-mouthed, and he had been saying that he didn't know any traffickers before Yueqing came, and even if Yueqing arrived at the scene, he still didn't change his morality.
Yueqing suddenly laughed in a low voice, although the vendor was weak-hearted, but when he saw him suddenly laughing, he thought that Yueqing was afraid, and continued to intimidate him, "Now you know that you are afraid?" I am the emperor's personal guard before, if you people don't let me go, I will go to the saint to denounce your crimes! ”
After speaking, he raised his chin triumphantly, with an arrogant face, but he didn't know that the real personal guard was standing in front of him, and the soldiers guarding him couldn't help but look at him with pity on their faces when they heard the words.
Yueqing is notoriously ruthless, coupled with his clever martial arts, he is still a celebrity around the current emperor, no matter where he is, he is above ten thousand people under one person, no one dares to provoke him, and only the trafficker in front of him has no eyes.
Yueqing held the sword in both hands, with a look of contempt, looked down at the vendor and said, "You do have the ability to come here with this mouth, but in front of me, you had better honestly explain everything about you as an accomplice of human traffickers, otherwise I will let you know what life is better than death!" ”
After Yueqing finished saying this very calmly, she turned around and motioned to the guards beside her to take the vendor into the prison.
The other two were then imprisoned in the dungeon and tortured until they had to say what they had to say.
Yueqing's side was going well, and Zhao Yunling had also arrived at the marble, Cuizhu carefully helped Zhao Yunling get out of the carriage, and she walked into the mansion with the box of spices in her hand.
Dali Siqing didn't know that the queen mother would also be there, and there was an emperor sitting next to him, and he was already sweating profusely at this time, for fear that one would accidentally offend the two masters.
Rong Yan had been waiting on the main seat for a long time, and when he saw Zhao Yunling coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Yunling, have you got the thing?" ”
Zhao Yunling nodded at him, and then handed a delicate small box into Rong Yan's hand.
Dali Siqing didn't know what the two were talking about, but he still came out and asked, "Your Majesty, the queen, I don't know what happened to me today?" ”
Rong Yan waved his hand and said quietly, "Aiqing, you don't have to follow, just find someone to lead the way, just me and the queen will go together." ”
Dali Siqing was slightly stunned, and glanced at Zhao Yunling, who was delicate and frail, with some embarrassment, "The queen's status is noble, and besides, this prison is not a place where women can go, I'm afraid it will stain the eyes of the mother......"
Zhao Yunling couldn't help sneering twice, when the old lady beat the man, she didn't know where this Dali Siqing was, "It's okay, let's go." ”
She didn't want to explain too much, ignoring the strange eyes of others, she followed Rong Yan to the dungeon, and saw the trafficker who was covered in scars and hung in the air.
There were other prisoners in the prison, and when they saw the two people in dragon robes, they consciously closed their mouths, for fear of offending the two of them, and their heads fell to the ground immediately.
Before leaving, Dali Siqing left two clean chairs for Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling, and then waited obediently at the door according to Rong Yan's instructions.
Rong Yan walked leisurely in front of the trafficker, and when he saw that he was groggy and unconscious, he poured a ladle of water on the trafficker's head, and he woke up immediately.
Seeing Rong Yan again, the trafficker's eyes widened in fright, and at the same time, he also saw Zhao Yunling, who he had never seen before, but these are no longer important, he is just an ant now, he may die at any time, it doesn't matter who is who.
"Why are you here again?" Maybe she looked down on life and death or reached a desperate situation, and she didn't beg for mercy in front of Rong Yan, and she didn't even call her honorific title.
Rong Yan sneered and asked out loud, "It's time to think about it all night, let me ask you again, where did you come from?" ”
The trafficker's eyes were obviously evasive, and he avoided Rong Yan's questioning eyes very strangely, and said with a little weakness, "I've told you a few times, I don't know anything about the Seven Star Grass!" ”
Zhao Yunling, who was watching him, took his reaction into his eyes, and the result was already obvious, this trafficker must have something to hide, Rong Yan glanced back at Zhao Yunling, who was sitting in the chair, and the two exchanged glances.
Immediately, Rong Yan took out the box of spices from his cuffs, and Zhao Yunling stepped forward to cooperate with him for hypnosis.
The traffickers also saw that something was wrong, and shook their heads in some panic and resisted, "What are you going to do here?" ”
Seeing the two of them gradually approaching him, an ominous premonition came to his heart, but what could he do, even if he resisted, he couldn't avoid it.
Rong Yan handed the box of spices to Zhao Yunling, and he came to the trafficker and straightened his head so that Zhao Yunling could operate better.
Zhao Yunling took a little bit of water and mixed the spices together, in order to avoid being inhaled by Rong Yan, she took out a handkerchief from her arms to cover Rong Yan's mouth and nose, and then put the mixed Xuanxuan spices on the nose of the trafficker, the trafficker had nowhere to hide, and successfully inhaled a large amount of spices.
Seeing that he was unresponsive, his eyes were closed, obviously unconscious, Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan looked at each other, the two of them hadn't really tried, I didn't know if it had any effect, and the two of them were more or less apprehensive in their hearts.
"Yun Ling, what should I do next?" Rong Yan turned his head to look at Zhao Yunling with some concern.
Zhao Yunling's brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't panic at all, she believed that Wang Erquan's words would definitely have an effect.
