Chapter 241: Interrogation Room (2)
Lin Yueqing looked at the person in front of him, his eyes were full of shock, and King Lin on the side was even more surprised.
Because the person in front of him is covered with a strange purple color, and his thin and sickly appearance is unforgettable at a glance.
"How's it going today, does the medicine work?"
Qi asked.
The man coughed violently a few times, and then opened his mouth like a gossamer.
"After drinking the medicine, I can finally fall asleep, thank you Lord Qi for saving your life!"
The man choked up and wept.
"Villain, villain hasn't slept much for months, unless it's exhaustion to the apex of fainting, it's almost difficult for us pharmaceutical people to sleep in the later stage!"
"Pharmacist?" Lin Yueqing couldn't help but ask in confusion.
The person covered in strange purple saw Lin Yueqing and then King Lin, and finally his eyes fell on Qi Ruyi.
Qi Ru saw his inquiring eyes, and immediately spoke.
"They're all trustworthy people, so to speak!"
The man covered in a strange purple color first choked up for a while when he heard the words, and then opened his mouth with a crying voice.
"I ...... I am a scholar in the alley of Linjun City North Street, five years ago I was going out of the city to catch the exam, it was raining that day, I was afraid of delaying the exam, so I went on the road earlier, who knew that just out of Linjun City, I was ready to Rao Xiaolu to take a boat, walking and walking was knocked unconscious, and then I woke up in a dungeon, there were many men and women in the dungeon, those people told us, said ...... Say we're the new pharmacists! ”
"When we heard that the pharmaceutical man didn't know what he meant, a group of people rebelled and wanted to go home, until they stabbed one of the loudest ones, and we ...... We won't dare to resist! ”
The man covered in a strange purple color sniffled and continued.
"We were locked up for a month, and everyone was so hungry that they didn't have much strength, and they took us out of the dungeon and into a very secluded courtyard, where dyed cloth was hung, and we were taken around in a winding way to an empty courtyard, and the courtyard...... The yard was piled with small purple fruits like hills. ”
Lin Yueqing and Jiang Ruoxie glanced at each other when they heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Isn't that little purple fruit fragrant, with a few red seeds in the jam inside!"
The purple-skinned man in the prison hurriedly replied.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's this kind of thing, it's because it smells very sweet, at the beginning, someone stole it, because it ate a lot, and it died in an hour, I was also hungry at that time and wanted to eat some, and when I saw that person died, everyone didn't dare to eat it, let alone touch it!"
"When those people saw that we did not dare to go near the little fruit, they threatened us, saying that whoever did not work would die, but we did not dare to resist, and they all approached the mountain of fruit!"
Lin Yueqing asked curiously when he heard this.
"What do they ask you to do with that fruit?"
The man looked at his already black fingers and said slowly.
"They told us to take out the little red seeds from the fruit, wash it and put it in a tray, although we knew that the fruit was poisonous, but we had no choice but to do what they said!"
It didn't take long, about three months, for some of us to start having auditory hallucinations, and after a few months, our eyes started to get a little bloodshot.
So they moved us to the dungeon down to rest, and then they brought the old group with us, and every few months, all we did was pick out the little red seeds, which were smaller than sesame seeds, and washed them, and never let us do anything else!
Speaking of this, the man suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said.
"Oh, by the way, they also have a group of people who specialize in dyeing the cloth with this leftover jam, and then wash the pulp, I once sneaked the cloth after the pulp washing, the cloth is very soft and soft, more supple than the best Yunjin, as for whether the cloth is poisonous or not, I don't know!"
When Lin Yueqing and Jiang Ruoxie heard this, they became even more curious about what they were doing with the red seeds of the Youguo.
There is also that kind of cloth, which should be sold, and another day I have to find out what kind of cloth houses are in those good cloth brocades, and maybe I can find any evidence.
The man was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something again, and hurriedly spoke again.
"By the way, once I was in a hurry to go to the hut, and our pharmacy's hut was full, so I had to go to their hut and heard a few strange words."
"What?" This would be Qi Ru asked, and the man hurriedly replied.
"They...... They said that the price of this longevity medicine is really high, but the effect is really good, otherwise he is almost one hundred and twenty years old, and he still looks so energetic and healthy! ”
Qi Ru, Lin Yueqing, and Jiang Ruoxie heard the sentence of one hundred and twenty years old, and they all instantly thought of the same person.
The three of them unconsciously glanced at each other, especially Lin Yueqing's eyes, which secretly concealed hatred and anger.
Planting Youguo on a large scale, hijacking ordinary people, and letting the people exchange their lives for longevity medicine, ginger floc, ginger floc, every time I hear people's praise, thinking of so many people I have killed, can you sleep at night?
Jiang Ruoxie's eyes were also gloomy, and Qi Ru clenched his still injured fists.
This outcome was expected, but it was also unexpected.
Everyone knows that the people who can grow so many dark fruits and can do these things can do it except for powerful and high-ranking people.
It's just that they didn't expect that it was Jiang Su who did this, after all, she was so loved by the people, how could she bear to do such a thing?
Lin Yueqing looked at the man and continued to ask.
"How did you escape?"
The man was stunned when he heard this, and then said.
"I don't know what happened for most of the first half a month, all the poisonous fruits are gone, they took us on a big boat, the boat seemed to have encountered some accident halfway, saying that there was a pharmaceutical man who couldn't stand the torture and jumped into the river, so the boat docked for a few days!"
As he spoke, the man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said nervously.
"That day, one of the guards went to drink flower wine, and I said I wanted to go to the toilet, and they let me out of the cage, because I am usually very honest and obedient, and they are not very wary of me, and my ancestors were fishermen, so I was extremely good at water, and I took the opportunity to sneak to the deck and jump into the river, and it was almost early in the morning to reach the southern city."
As he spoke, he looked at his strangely colored skin, and his face was a little complicated and disgusted.
"I know that my skin is too conspicuous, they will definitely track me down, I smeared and found the Zhizhou Mansion, so I can survive!"
Lin Yueqing thought carefully when he heard this, but Qi Ru on the side couldn't help it after listening to the words of the person just now.
