Chapter 16 Robbery

Ruan Zhong stepped forward: "In broad daylight, he actually robbed. You people don't want to live anymore."

After that, we will start fighting.

Yi Tong didn't say anything, and the mob began to be scared. The leader had to bite the bullet and declare again: "We don't want to hurt people, we just want you to keep money and give it as much as you want."

Yi Tong felt a little sad when she listened this time. This is not a robbery, it is obviously a forced begging!

He immediately said to the leader: "What difficulties have you encountered? You are not a vicious person either."

After hearing what Yi Tong said, the leader almost burst into tears without being moved, and immediately said with all his heart: "This girl is right! We are villagers nearby, and the city has always been prosperous in commerce, so we just do some small business here to support our family. Who would have thought that two months ago, a young man in brocade clothes came and said he wanted to requisition our land. Let us help grow herbs and give us rent and commissions. We thought this was a good thing from heaven, so we agreed. But after we got beaten, we realized that it was poison. Many of the people in our village were sick. The young man came once and took all the poison and left us some money. But it never happened again. We really couldn't live anymore!"

After hearing what they said, Ruan Zhong frowned.

"If this is the case, you can go and report to the official?" Yitong also felt pity.

"We are all rough people, illiterate, and no one writes paper for us! Besides, even if we report to the officials, people may not believe it." The leader seemed very embarrassed.

"You take me to see it. If this is the case, I will do my best to help you!" Yi Tong said, then grabbed Zixuan's hand and wanted to move forward.

"Really?!" The leader looked at her happily: "That's great! Thank you, benefactor!"

As he said that, he knelt down, and the villagers behind him also knelt down one after another.

"Sister..." Zixuan was a little scared. After all, this place is in the suburbs. Who knows whether these villagers are good or bad, true or false?

Yi Tong patted her hand and comforted her: "We are robbed by them here, so it's better to help them find out the truth. Besides, with Ruan Zhong here, we don't have to be afraid."

After saying that, he blinked at Zixuan. Ruan Zhong listened to her words aside, disagreed and really treated me as a bodyguard!

But the prince only told him to follow Yi Tong. Ruan Zhong thought about it carefully, which was the meaning of the bodyguard, and then he followed honestly.

After a while, I came to the village. It was originally a small village with a dilapidated temple at the entrance of the village. Looking around, the fields were full of dilapidated scenes.

Probably the herbs grown have been harvested, and all kinds of broken branches and leaves are entangled in the ground.

"What are the symptoms of illness in your village?" Yi Tong turned around and asked Lin Yuhui, it was the leader.

The latter said in a panic: "It's very scary! Each of them seemed very happy, but soon they started to have headaches and dizziness, like to talk nonsense, and then vomit. Finally, they died slowly."

While talking, I was still scared.

Yi Tong was also scared. This was clearly a symptom of poppy poisoning!

"In order to worry about the spread of this plague, we burned the corpse." Lin Yuhui's face looked extremely sad. In his opinion, the corpse was burned, which means that he could no longer rest in peace.

Yitong turned around seriously: "Take me to your fields and take a look."

Lin Yuhui quickly cleaned up the pain and took them to the field. Yitong squatted down and looked at the leaves and rhizomes of the plants. It was indeed poppy.

She never thought that the poppy flowers had spread here, and the young master who asked them to help plant them was not a good person. Once this kind of thing was spread, it would be unimaginable.

Ruan Zhong naturally didn't know this herb, but seeing Yi Tong's expression was solemn, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Miss Tong, what is this?"

Yi Tong glanced at him and signaled to say later.

He turned around and said to Lin Yuhui: "Does the sue need to be filed? I'll write this for you."

When everyone heard this, they cheered in unison and knelt down one by one. Yitong had to help them up one by one: "Friends, please go home, but remember that you must hand over this herb that everyone has hidden in private and must not taste it yourself. Also, the field must be burned in a fire."

Lin Yuhui nodded quickly: "Don't worry, girl, we will definitely do it."

Only then did Yitong ask the villagers for pens and ink, and wrote down the paper. Ruan Zhong stood aside. He didn't expect that Grand Secretary Chu was the most knowledgeable person in the world, but the word "Miss" was really... written terrible.

Yi Tong didn't know what Ruan Zhong was thinking, so he carefully sealed the paper and handed it to Lin Yuhui.

Yitong took Zixuan back, leaned on the carriage, and thought deeply.

Zixuan asked carefully: "Sister, is there any problem with the herbs?"

Yi Tong looked at Zixuan and nodded with a serious expression: "Actually, that kind of plant can be said to be herbs or highly poisonous."

"Very poisonous?" Zixuan was frightened, and even Ruan Zhong, who was driving, was stunned.

"Yes. A small amount of poppy can be used to treat dysentery and also has anesthetic effects. However, long-term use will make people addicted, becoming addicted and unable to relieve it. And if the dosage is excessive at one time, it will die. The symptoms are what Village Chief Lin said." Yi Tong explained word by word.

"Then... those villagers were not infected with the plague, but were poisoned?" Zixuan followed Yi Tong for so long, and her reaction is very fast now.

"Yes. The villagers don't know, they thought they were infected with the plague when they were infected with the plague. I guess the dead villagers just hid some poppy and tried to eat some of them themselves." Looking at Yi Tong's serious and serious look, Zixuan felt that she was really an omniscient person for the first time, and a feeling of admiration arose.

Zixuan wanted to make some admiration remarks, but the carriage stopped and Ruan Zhong said outside: "It's here."

Zixuan lifted the curtain, jumped off herself first, and helped Yitong get out of the car.

When I entered the door, I saw Mu Youli sitting in the hall, with a luxuriously dressed man standing next to him.
