Chapter 1003 is quite amazing
The inn was crowded with people, even if there was a big thing in the capital, but the people seemed to have nothing to do with themselves, and they didn't care much, and even became more and more lively.
Perhaps because of the 100-day festival that will be held in the future, many people are shopping for supplies.
The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic when he saw Bai Yulan coming, and quickly put aside the customers who were asking him, and stepped forward in three or two steps: "Why did the white girl come suddenly?" ”
Because outside, the name of this white boss is still a little famous in the final analysis, so Bai Yulan instructed all major shops to call themselves Bai Girl.
"Have you figured out the source of a spice and cloth that you deposited here last time? I'm here to get the ingredients. ”
That day, Qingling handed over the antidote to her, she thought about it, or the powder that fell on the man in white, as well as the medicine that Qingling gave her, all of them were integrated together, and by the way, she handed them over to the shopkeeper of her largest store, and found all the raw materials.
"Of course, of course." The shopkeeper said again and again: "Since the white girl has been instructed, I have ordered someone to hurry up and find all the raw materials at the appointed time, and now they are all in the girl's room." ”
"Okay."
"It's just ......" The shopkeeper's roots were behind her, and she wanted to speak a little.
Bai Yulan glanced at the people around her, waved her hand, and said, "You guys go down first." ”
"Yes."
As soon as those people left, the shopkeeper hesitated and whispered in her ear: "Girl, there is a blind here, I'm afraid the girl didn't write it in the recipe, but I thought there was a medicinal material from the Western Regions in it, and there were very few people using this medicinal material, and it also seemed very weak in it, if you don't smell it carefully, I'm afraid even the famous doctor won't know it." ”
"And how do you know?"
"This is also a subordinate carelessly, put things on a windowsill at random, originally just to sift down, bask in the sun, but attracted a small insect, this insect will not appear next to the resident's room on weekdays, unless it is because of a spice."
The shopkeeper took Bai Yulan to a place in the corner of the backyard, pointed to the corner of the wall, and said, "Girl, you see, there are a lot of insects here, all of them are gathered together, and I put a piece of Baiwei here, so they are all attracted, and it is also the result of my confirmation in the past few days." ”
Bai Yulan rubbed her eyebrows and said, "It seems that this person who dispensed medicine at the beginning is very unusual, how did this spice from the Western Regions come from?" It's not easy, right? ”
"Because it attracts insects, many people don't like to use this spice, and only some people like to use this item when they like to cultivate evil ways and study crooked ways."
The shopkeeper's words did make Bai Yulan have a little bit of enlightenment, not to mention anything else, what kind of crooked and evil ways, just this one took up a lot of weight in Bai Yulan's heart, and this sentence also means that this person who studied drugs is also a person who has studied Gu art like Qing Ling.
Not only that, but he is also a native of the Western Regions, otherwise, he would not have known about the wood used for spices hidden in the deep mountains and old forests so long ago.
"I know, you go down, put this thing in the bag first, maybe in the box, don't let these insects gather, clean up here early, don't let anyone find out."
"Yes."
When Bai Yulan went back to the room, she was still a little absent-minded, and the shopkeeper seemed to find that this was too coincidental, although she didn't have to doubt the old man who had been with her for many years, but there was always a trace of doubt in her heart, and there was no way to eliminate it.
"It seems that Niangniang just heard the shopkeeper say something terrible." Green whispered to the side.
Bai Yulan rubbed the corners of her forehead and sighed: "It's a little annoying, the owner of this spice is really difficult to find, not only that, but the shopkeeper is also ......."
She mentioned all the things she had just done with Lu Yi, who was also worried, but compared to Bai Yulan, she seemed much calmer.
"If my guess is correct, maybe Niangniang is a little too worried, this is just a very ordinary thing, the shopkeeper was originally to investigate the details, Niangniang is now attacked too many times, so there are a few grass and trees, which is reasonable."
"If that's the case, that's for the best."
Bai Yulan sighed, after all, she didn't want someone she had trusted for a long time to betray her one day.
Qiong Ming looked unimpressed, he was busy pouring tea for Bai Yulan on the side, and said with a smile: "Can you show me the spices that Sister used before?" ”
Bai Yulan hesitated again and again, and finally handed the spice to Qiong Ming, frowning and said, "I wanted you to come and see this strange spice before, but for many reasons, I finally gave up." ”
"I found a little bit of other clues today, this is just more and more confusing, if I don't take care of it, I think there will be more trouble in the Hundred Days Festival."
It's not that she thinks too much, but because the invisible man is really thinking about dealing with her, not just trying to kill her, or even planning to capture her alive, which has another use.
Although these waves of people seem to be a group, in fact, she feels that these people are divided into many parts from the inside, and the considerations of each piece seem to be different.
"Sister don't worry, if Sister has been troubled by this, even if I go back, I won't be at ease, so before I leave, I must help Sister solve this matter."
With that, Qiong Ming took the spices and sat on the other side, and Gu Zi went to study.
Seeing the interaction between these two people, Lu Yi was still a little touched in his heart, if Qiong Ming really always regarded the queen mother as a real sister, it would be good, but now this appearance makes the two of them not very comfortable.
Bai Yulan's heart didn't have so many twists and turns, and when she saw Qiong Ming studying by herself over there, she relaxed, and poured herself a few cups of tea, and after drinking it all, she still felt very anxious in her heart.
I don't know what's going on with this anxiety, but I've been with her since she came out of the palace.
"Ma'am." There was a knock at the door, very urgent, as if something big had happened.
"Ma'am, someone has come looking for you."
Bai Yulan raised her hand and motioned for Lu Yi to go see the little guy.
"What's wrong, so flustered, what's going on." Green frowned slightly.
This attitude of not being surprised is really not something that anyone can imitate.
"This man also brought a box to Madame."
Poor little guy, when I came in before, I felt that although the box looked exquisite, it had a rusty smell, so I was curious, so I opened the box and took a look.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, originally he was just a miscellaneous person in this small branch, and he hadn't seen any criminal cases, let alone Hemeimei, and he hadn't seen any corpses, let alone the things in the box.
The little guy kept shaking, and it seemed that he couldn't even hold the box steadily.
Only then did Luyi find a clue, most likely that there was something wrong with this box.
"If there is a problem, you can send it to Madame casually." Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, a little displeased, and said, "If something really happens to Madame, do you know, can you afford it?" ”
Facing her sudden raised voice, the little girl was frightened again, and hurriedly stammered: "No, no, the little one hasn't seen anything in it before, but it's just curiosity, so I saw it, but no matter what it is, Mrs. has ordered it before, and everything must be made after she sees it." ”
"What's in there?" Bai Yulan also heard the noise at the door, frowned slightly, turned around, and said, "What is it that is terrifying that makes you look so flustered, and even this box wants to be thrown out." ”
"Since you're so scared, put it on the ground, I won't blame you."
"Yes."
When the little guy heard this, he quickly put the box at the door, and stood quietly aside, even more afraid to look at the box.
Green was the first to inspect the box, and as soon as it was opened, there was a strange smell of rust and a very strange fragrance, which were mixed together, like a rotting rose.
"What the hell is this?"
Smelling such a strange smell, even Bai Yulan was a little surprised.
"Niangniang, wait, I don't know if this thing is harmful to people, so I don't dare to let Niangniang touch it at will." Lu Yi was very entangled and said, "Please allow the slave to inspect it again." ”
As she spoke, Lu Yi directly opened the thing, put on a pair of gloves for herself, and then began to check, she felt a pair of human arms inside, and it looked very rotten, but there were no maggots on it, which was very surprising.
And inside the box, there is indeed a bouquet of roses.
"What about the person who delivered the thing?" Greenwill asked.
Sending such a thing, presumably this person will not be a good person, and it is even possible that it has something to do with the few times that Mrs. was killed before.
"It's gone." The little guy muttered on the side: "Because after sending this thing, I thought about coming to Niangniang first, but I didn't expect it to be ......."
"It's fine." Bai Yulan rubbed her eyebrows and said, "It's not your fault. ”
"The hand that was sent, it seems, what does this person still want to convey to me through this thing, is it that he hopes that I won't interfere anymore?"
