Chapter 1876 Bones
"how so…"
Wan Shufang murmured, put the letter on the table, and then her eyes fell on the package.
The sight of the pile of white bones made people feel chilly. Fortunately, there were a few letters covering them, so the entire skeleton was not exposed.
It turned out to be just a few days ago.
Not long after Wan Shufang and Chen Changli left, Harijula and Chen Ping were cleaning up the mess in Kali Town. After a search, they discovered a secret room in the mayor's house.
Chen Ping and two other people entered the secret room together and found the skeletons and some letters in the secret room. After checking them out, he thought they were a good clue, so he sent someone to deliver them to Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
"Changli, do you think these skulls are related to sacrifice?"
"Looking at the size of these bones, they look like a woman..." Chen Changli whispered, and flipped through the letters again, "We still have to tell Amir about this. If she can see with her own eyes how cruel the late queen was, she might be more willing to help us."
Wan Shufang agreed with this. She nodded, put away the things on the table, and went out with Chen Changli to find Amir.
When they arrived at Amir's residence, Wan Shufang showed her the bones and the letter. The more Amir looked, the uglier his expression became.
"This is outrageous! How dare she kill innocent people like this!" Amir was so angry that she threw the letter to the ground. She raised her eyes and saw the eyes of Chen Changli and Wan Shufang on the ground, and made a firm promise.
"I misjudged her before. Don't worry, I will find her and will never let such a vicious person exist in the world and go unpunished."
Seeing her determined eyes, Wan Shufang and Chen Changli finally felt relieved. They thought that the trip was not in vain, at least they had won over Amir.
With Amir around, it would definitely be easier to find the late queen. After all, Amir had done business with her before and they could be considered partners.
Thinking of this, Wan Shufang reminded Amir of this.
"Okay, I'll try to get her out using the method I used before." Amir agreed immediately. After knowing the true identity of the late queen, she had no feelings for her at all and only wanted to help Chen Changli and Wan Shufang catch her.
Having made the decision, Amir immediately took action and made arrangements. He used the method he had used to contact the late queen, leaving clues in specific places and quietly waiting for the late queen to come.
Everything was going smoothly. After the appointment, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also led people to ambush nearby. Amir kept waiting, but no one came from day to evening.
Just when Amir was angry and felt that he was being fooled, a little beggar suddenly ran over and handed Amir a note.
"The Goddess of Immortality asked me to give it to you." The little beggar's voice was loud, and all his words were heard by Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. The two looked at each other and walked out from the darkness.
On the small note was a message written by the late queen.
"You idiots, you dare to fight me? It's like an egg hitting a stone. You don't know what you are talking about! Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, you were never my opponent before, and you won't be my opponent in the future."
The three of them had just finished reading with sullen faces when the little beggar over there burst into laughter and repeated the story vividly with a mocking smile and exaggerated expression, making it seem as if one was seeing the smug face of the late queen.
This extremely ironic statement made Amir so furious that he drew out the secret guard's sword and was about to kill the little beggar, but was stopped in time by Wan Shufang.
"Amir, he is also being used by others, don't kill him."
Wan Shufang had already seen the silver in the little beggar's arms. She took a deep breath and took the sword from Amir: "Our whereabouts have been exposed. The late queen already knows about our alliance. It will be difficult to trick her out in the future."
"Amir, maybe you should investigate the people around you. This time, it's obvious that the late queen received the news in advance and deliberately played a trick on us. Without someone to tip her off, she couldn't have done it."
Hearing this, Amir nodded. She also understood what Chen Changli meant, but she didn't know where to start for a moment and was in a dilemma.
The atmosphere was silent for a long time. Wan Shufang's eyes flashed and she finally came up with an idea.
"Amir, cooperate with me in a play, and I will help you catch the traitor." Wan Shufang waved at Amir, motioning her to come closer, and whispered a few words in Amir's ear.
Soon, Amir went out and gathered all her men. They lined up in the yard. Wan Shufang took out a bottle of medicine and asked everyone to take it one by one.
After a moment, everyone huddled on the ground, shaking in pain, with beads of cold sweat dripping from their foreheads. It was unbearable and screams were heard everywhere.
In just a short while, the yard was in chaos.
"Ah, it hurts, Master Amir, what did your subordinates do wrong..."
"Please forgive me, sir. I am willing to accept the punishment. Please forgive me, sir!"
A man knelt down and begged Amir. Wan Shufang saw that the time was almost right, so she took out another bottle of medicine and said calmly, "Everyone, you are suffering this disaster today because there is a traitor among you."
"What you just ate was poison, and what I have in my hand is the antidote. If anyone is really a traitor, you can get the antidote by providing clues."
As she spoke, Wan Shufang's face suddenly turned cold, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if piercing into people's hearts, making them feel painful, and her voice was extremely cold.
"Otherwise, you will bleed from all seven orifices and die in pain."
Wan Shufang raised the medicine bottle in her hand, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked down at everyone as if admiring them.
Amir was also secretly observing everyone's reactions. Some of them were afraid, some were in pain, but there was nothing else abnormal.
"Sir Amir, I am not a traitor. I really didn't know. Please, give me the antidote."
"Amir sir, spare me, Amir sir, spare me."
"Sir Amir, I know that Zhang went out sneakily two days ago. I don't know what he went there for. I just know this. Can you give me the antidote?"
A group of people kowtowed and begged for mercy, and even tried desperate means to identify the traitor at random. They didn't know where the traitor was, so they could only use this method, hoping to gain Amir's mercy and get the antidote.
Amidst the cries of begging for mercy, Amir noticed something unusual: the last person, although kowtowing and begging for mercy, did not say a word.
His expression was not as frightened and panicked as the others, but instead had a hint of ruthlessness, as if he didn't care and was willing to die.
Amir frowned and tugged at Wan Shufang's sleeve. Wan Shufang followed her gaze and looked at the man. In just a moment, the man noticed the gazes of Wan Shufang and Amir.
He quickly lowered his head, trying not to make eye contact with the two of them, and panic appeared on his face.
