Chapter 149 Misfortunes never come singly
Under the influence of drugs and sedatives, the village chief, guided by Jiang Qingyue, finally confessed.
When can I pick it up after I'm done?
Since Jiang Qingyue already knew that Qin Jinghao was responsible, there was no need to ask these irrelevant questions. So, she went straight to the point.
What she wanted was to catch the perpetrator red-handed and have irrefutable evidence!
"Someone will come to collect it on the fifteenth of every month," the village chief mechanically stated.
The 15th of every month? Today is the 10th, and there are only five days left until the shipment. In other words, we must catch them red-handed this time, otherwise we will have to wait until next month, and who knows what might happen then.
Moreover, Jiang Qingyue felt that since they dared to do this, they must be very suspicious. Although she had come twice without any flaws, the cautious Jiang Qingyue might change her plans or even bring them forward. However, what she wanted was for them to do it ahead of schedule.
The more caught off guard they are, the easier it is for them to reveal their weaknesses.
Having thought of this, Jiang Qingyue already understood.
"Time and place."
The village chief answered Jiang Qingyue's questions one by one.
Of course, there were some issues that the village chief was unaware of, and Jiang Qingyue didn't delve into them; this information was enough.
She told the village chief to go back to bed and rest, and then she slowly left.
After a while, when the fragrance dissipated, the village chief was startled and stared blankly at the ceiling.
What just happened to him? Why does he have no memory of it? How did he end up lying here? He thinks he saw a glowing person?
Ridiculous! Looks like he really did drink too much!
The village chief patted his head and stopped thinking about it.
The next morning, Jiang Qingyue said goodbye and left, meeting up with Qin Xuanyu in the suburbs.
"How is it?" Qin Xuanyu's lightness skill was even more undetectable, allowing him to probe deeper than Wuming. At the same time, after exchanging information, the two discovered that the secret passage Qin Xuanyu had found might be the passage they used for transporting goods.
"I'll go back and make arrangements right away."
However, catching Qin Jinghao in the act is useless; he will definitely have reasons to argue, and he won't be able to convince the emperor either. In the end, it will only cause him more trouble.
Therefore, he needs to find several witnesses to testify.
Time flies, and soon it was the evening of the fourteenth.
Wuming had been secretly watching the situation at Chilinpo, confirming that they hadn't started moving the goods yet. It seemed that the time was indeed the fifteenth.
With only one hour left until the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), Wuming dared not relax for a moment.
Time passed second by second, and finally, Wuming saw a group of furtive people dressed in black, hidden in the darkness, slowly approaching their destination.
On the other side, Qin Xuanyu was also leading a group of men, secretly lying in ambush at their exit, waiting to catch them red-handed.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Jinghao finally received the message delivered by the eunuch.
He looked at the letter in his hand, his face growing increasingly grim.
Seeing Qin Jinghao's appearance, the strategist stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"
Qin Jinghao handed the letter to his strategist.
After reading it, the strategist's expression became much more serious.
"The Medical Sect? But didn't the Medical Sect disappear without a trace many years ago? Where did it come from?"
Both of them realized that it was this so-called medical master who suddenly appeared who ruined their plans; otherwise, Jiang Qingyue would have fallen into their trap long ago.
"I want to know too. Have someone contact the Poison Sect immediately and ask what's going on." Qin Jinghao felt a vague unease, the exact reason for which he didn't know, but each time his unease was very accurate.
"Okay, I'll have someone contact them right away."
“Now that Jiang Qingyue hasn’t fallen for the trap, we don’t know what’s going on with Gu Linsen. It seems that Jiang Qingyue was already on guard.” Since the last time, Qin Jinghao has not dared to underestimate Jiang Qingyue, but even so, he still feels that he has underestimated her.
The two waited, and a quarter of an hour later, the second elder of the Poison Sect arrived.
The strategist informed the Second Elder about the Medical Sect. The Second Elder was taken aback, then sneered, "The Medical Sect? Someone still dares to show up? They really have no fear of death!"
The Second Elder seemed unconcerned. "Your Highness, don't worry. Even if the Medical Sect goes, they won't be able to save Gu Linsen. That poison is something we've just developed; the Medical Sect has never encountered it before. Only the Three-Colored Moon Essence can cure it."
The only three-colored moonflower is in the Poison Sect's secret chamber; they absolutely cannot obtain it.
The Second Elder made a solemn promise with an arrogant demeanor, showing that he didn't take the Medical Sect seriously at all.
"But I heard that there is another Three-Colored Moonflower with the Mute Girl." Qin Jinghao was worried that Jiang Qingyue and the others would find out.
"Don't worry, no one can easily get into that place. Our Poison Sect has sent out so many experts, but they all died in that swamp. No one came out alive. Jiang Qingyue and the others can forget about it."
Hearing the Second Elder's words, Qin Jinghao felt much more at ease, but the feeling of unease still lingered.
Whether they were deliberately waiting to slap the Second Elder in the face after his promise was made, the experts from the Poison Sect soon came over and whispered a few words in the Second Elder's ear. The Second Elder's face instantly turned ugly. "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely true!"
"Damn it!" The Second Elder dismissed his subordinates and, with a grim face, informed Qin Jinghao, "Your Highness, something has happened at the Soul-Severing Swamp."
It turns out that the Poison Sect members couldn't get in, but they had been keeping an eye on the situation in the Soul-Severing Swamp. After all, their goal was the Three-Colored Moon Essence, and they couldn't let anyone else have it if they couldn't get it themselves.
However, some time ago, the people stationed in the village reported that someone was inquiring about the Soul-Severing Swamp. Not long after, they discovered strange movements coming from the Soul-Severing Swamp. They thought it was just some fearless person again and didn't pay much attention to it.
However, they dared not go in easily, and could only keep an eye on the situation in the swamp and immediately send someone to report.
Later, the Poison Sect sent a group of assassins in to investigate, only to find that they came out unharmed. It turned out that the formation had been broken long ago.
They immediately went inside to check and found the mute girl's tombstone. They searched high and low but couldn't find the Three-Colored Moon Essence. Only then did they realize that someone had actually gone in and taken the Three-Colored Moon Essence.
But who they were was unknown. They only heard that the people who were asking the questions were a man and a woman, and they described their appearance.
After hearing this vague description, for some reason, Qin Jinghao felt that the two people were Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue.
If that's really the case, then I will no longer be able to threaten her.
The strategist also considered this, saying, "It seems we have miscalculated this time. Well, if necessary, we will have to resort to extraordinary measures."
At this point, Qin Jinghao looked at the strategist and nodded slightly.
But today, they perfectly illustrated what it means for misfortunes to come in pairs. Another report came, and Qin Jinghao's heart skipped a beat. He didn't want to hear any more news...
