Chapter 317: Who is the mastermind behind it all?
Lin Rusi looked in the direction she pointed and sure enough, she saw two large packages there.
Who is Ye Ruoruo?
Before Lin Rusi arrived, Tian Lingzi was the only disciple of Tian Lingzi. Knowing these medicinal herbs would be a piece of cake for her.
In addition, she had been racking her brains over this prescription these past two days, and as soon as she opened the bundle, she almost immediately knew what these things were for.
It's true what they say, "You can search high and low without finding it, but then it comes to you effortlessly."
"This is an unexpected bonus. Let's hurry and carry them back to the inn while there aren't many patients around."
As Ye Ruoruo spoke, she casually grabbed someone and prepared to carry them out.
"Wait a minute."
Hearing this, Lin Rusi quickly stopped her: "You know what the inn's gate looks like at night. How are we going to get in carrying someone?"
"If we bang on the door hard, the patients will probably be attracted before the shopkeeper wakes up."
As she spoke, Lin Rusi couldn't help but rub her forehead.
"How about we go through the window?"
Ye Ruoruo blinked and made a cautious suggestion.
These past two days, she's been going in and out at night with Li Jingyang and the others, always using the windows.
"I can get through the window, but I can't carry someone up to the second floor."
Lin Rusi snorted and spoke the absolute truth.
Ye Ruoruo paused for a moment, then decisively let go, throwing the person she had picked up back onto the ground: "I can't do it either."
The guy who was pretending to be dead on the ground was groaning in pain as he was hit hard, sweat beading on his forehead.
"We can't just leave them behind; we'll have to use torture to extract a confession."
But Ye Ruoruo was unwilling to let them leave just like that, and a cold glint flashed across her face.
Lin Rusi glanced at the man in black who was still sweating on the ground and wanted to say, "Grandma, you've already subjected him to severe torture."
She cleared her throat: "It's the same here."
"But... how do we conduct interrogations here?" Ye Ruoruo looked around, somewhat dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Lin Rusi whispered a reminder: "The medicine you used last time that makes people tell the truth needs to be planted. Get some more of it."
Last time they caught a spy from another country in Suzhou, it was after Ye Ruoruo came and fed him the drug.
The results were excellent, and they answered all my questions without reservation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoruo was immediately stunned. Only after being reminded did she remember that there was such a thing.
So she hurriedly reached into her bag, but only halfway through the action did she realize that she had gone out to see a patient and never expected to run into these people. She hadn't brought any interrogation medication with her.
Now she was in a bit of a predicament: "Oh no, it's not here either. I'll have to go back to the inn."
"Are you stupid?"
Lin Rusi patted her shoulder helplessly: "If there's no medicine, why not just make some fresh?"
"what?"
Ye Ruoruo looked at her blankly, somewhat unable to react: "Prepare medicine? How can I prepare it now? I didn't bring any herbs with me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruosi was instantly amused by Ye Ruoruo's innocent question.
She took a deep breath, pulled the bewildered little girl to the center, and pointed with her finger around the girl four times: "I said, do you want to see where you are right now?"
They now own the biggest pharmacy in the city.
Where else can you find a more complete selection of medicines than here?
Ye Ruoruo's face flushed instantly: "I...I'll be right back."
After saying that, she fled to get the medicine on the spot.
The pill had a peculiar effect, but the medicinal materials it required were not particularly rare.
Ye Ruoruo had already gathered all the necessary medicinal herbs after just a couple of quick walks around the pharmacy.
She finished preparing the medicine in no time.
"Come on, eat it while it's hot."
Ye Ruoruo couldn't wait to give each of the people on the ground a mouthful of the newly made pills she had just concocted.
Those on the ground knew this was no good and tried to struggle, but the effects of the drug hadn't worn off yet, so how could they possibly break free?
After a short while, the person on the ground looked dazed.
"Whose people are you?"
Lin Rusi didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"The... assassins of the foreign king."
One of them answered blankly, his voice still a little stuttering as the drug's effects began to kick in.
"Were the Gu worms infecting these people also instigated by him?"
"Yes." The struggle in the man's eyes faded.
Hearing this, Lin Rusi became even angrier: "Why did you do this?"
Ye Ruoruo gritted her teeth as well: "What is the purpose?"
These people are absolutely despicable!
"Stir up trouble in Danzhou, consolidate power, and bring a new emperor to this land."
As the man spoke, he suddenly became somewhat excited, as if he was looking forward to the scene he was describing.
"They...they're actually planning a rebellion?"
At that moment, Lin Rusi gasped in shock.
She subconsciously turned to look at the other two, and saw that they were also nodding in unison.
"Is this really true? You've really got some nerve."
Lin Rusi laughed angrily: "What's your next plan?"
"Ten days later, send a large force into Danzhou." The man's expression was completely numb.
Ye Ruoruo blurted out, "Why ten days later?"
Since they have been planning this for so long, and it's something like a rebellion, how dare they drag it out for another ten days?
Why ten days later?
Lin Rusi stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Isn't it better to do this sooner rather than later?"
"The people of this city won't get the antidote. Five days from now, they'll become completely obedient walking corpses." The truth revealed by the man, controlled by the pills, was chilling.
Fortunately, they found these people in advance and learned the truth beforehand.
If they hadn't received this crucial news, and had lingered here for another five days, facing a city full of zombies, they would likely have faced certain death.
Five days.
There are only five days left.
Lin Rusi instantly felt the urgency of time.
These people were also sent as assassins; they wouldn't know much about the truly important clues.
After asking everyone you could, these people became completely useless.
Lin Rusi glanced at them, feeling a little resentful about her two days of stakeout.
"By the way, why do you always choose to come at night?"
"Could it be that you have some special method to prevent those patients from attacking you?"
This puzzled Lin Rusi greatly. If it weren't for Ye Ruoruo, she would have wasted several days of her efforts.
"That's not the case."
The person who spoke probably knew subconsciously what his fate would be. He wanted to shut up, but he couldn't control himself: "Our people wanted to buy the medicinal herbs during the day, but they found someone lying in wait at the entrance of the pharmacy. Wei Mian alerted them, and after observing all night, they found that the person lying in wait at night was not there. So they waited until night and took the risk to make their move."
The man's words immediately made Lin Rusi feel a surge of resentment.
No wonder they waited and waited but no one came; they had already been spotted.
"It seems that the so-called foreign king has arranged quite a few subordinates in this Danzhou city."
Where are all the medicinal herbs you collected stored?
She suddenly realized that if they could directly obtain the medicinal herbs that these people had bought, wouldn't all the problems here be solved?
Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
"I don't know."
Unfortunately, their responses were a cold shower for her.
According to the group, they simply handed over the collected medicinal herbs, but they didn't even know who they gave them to.
