Chapter 774 Den of Thieves
"Isn't it not added? Don't worry! Ecstasy is colorless and tasteless, and even silver needles can't detect it. I saw that they all ate it, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"I'm afraid it doesn't have that strong medicinal properties!"
"It's almost time, let's go!"
"Bring out the portrait, let's take another look at it!" Using the candlelight, the two of them engraved the young man in the painting in their minds.
"It can't be wrong, it's him!"
“But we didn’t see the face.”
"Looking at their temperaments, they look very similar. Such a romantic and suave young man is rare! Even if it's wrong, it's wrong! Anyway, it's better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go!"
The two men tiptoed up the stairs, stopped at one of the doors, and then poked a hole in the paper on the door.
The room was completely silent and I couldn't see clearly.
The two men gestured to each other, and one of them took out a bamboo pipe and blew it towards the house for a while.
After waiting for a while, the two men used a dagger to open the bolt and gently pushed the door open to enter.
However, before they could walk towards the bed, cold sword blades were pressed against their necks.
"Don't move, the sword has no eyes." A deep voice sounded in their ears. The two were startled and knew that the matter was exposed.
"Don't do it, man."
"Shut up!" After a shout, their hands were tied behind their backs.
"Throw it into the next room and we'll deal with it tomorrow." In the darkness, the young man's voice was like a whisper, which made the two of them shudder.
"Keep the door closed and see if we can catch more fish tonight." The young man laughed, and then there was no movement in the house.
Jiang Youzhen slept well all night. When she woke up, she found Li Dongsheng sitting at the table, looking at her thoughtfully.
"I didn't know that Prince Li had such a hobby?" Watching her sleep? He really has nothing to do.
"We were so busy last night, but you were so leisurely." Li Dongsheng put down the tea bowl in his hand. Is this guy so careless or does he have the confidence?
"They are just a few small fish and shrimps. There's nothing to be nervous about." Jiang Youzhen quickly put on his outer clothes and then simply washed up.
"Young Master, we arrested three groups of people last night, two of whom you would have never expected." Qing Lang stepped forward to bring water to Jiang Youzhen to wash his face.
"It's just the postmaster and the waiter."
"Young Master has guessed it?" Qing Lang was very surprised.
"The postmaster looks normal. How did you guess that something was wrong with him?" Li Dongsheng was very surprised.
"After we revealed our identities, the postmaster took the token from Mr. Qin and confirmed it. He looked at both sides of the token and it looked very unfamiliar.
If he is the postmaster, he has his own token, so how could he not know the front and back of the official token? This means he is not the postmaster himself."
Jiang Youzhen analyzed while washing up, "When he saw the token of Lord Qin, his expression was a little strange, and he thought he hid it well. In addition, officials who come and go do not need to pay for the night, but they have to pay for their own food.
After we had dinner last night, I asked Brother Fang, and he said that they didn’t ask them for money, which means they thought it was free as long as they were officials.”
"Where is the waiter?" Li Dongsheng didn't expect Jiang Youzhen to be so observant. No wonder he solved the case so quickly.
"Xiaoer's palms are covered with calluses. Isn't this the appearance and physical sign of a martial artist?"
Is it that simple? Li Dongsheng thought it was that simple, but he didn't even notice it. It was obvious that Jiang Youzhen was always so observant and it had become a habit.
"Oh? Then guess who else is there?" At this time, Qin Yandong also pushed the door open with a smile on his face.
"What about the two guards in the caravan? They looked shifty and their eyes were moving around. They didn't even look carefully during meals. I'm afraid they were looking for fat sheep."
Qin Yandong was shocked at this time, "You even guessed this?"
"Is it that hard to guess? Those two are obviously not the real guards of the caravan. I'm afraid they are a temporary team with that master?"
At this time, Qin Yandong and Li Dongsheng were both shocked and asked in unison: "Why do you even know this?"
Jiang Youzhen said helplessly, "I also know that you all ate drugged food last night, but Qinglang and the others found the antidote and fed it to you."
The two of them immediately felt embarrassed, they had indeed fallen into these people's trap.
After all, they often go out to do business, but they didn't expect that the drug and the silver needle could not be detected. The two of them didn't speak for a while. Before coming, they boasted that they would definitely keep Jiang Youzhen safe.
They didn't expect that it was Jiang Youzhen who saved their lives in the first plot, which made them lose face.
"Young Master! I found some rice in the kitchen. I made some mushroom and lean meat porridge. Please try it first!" Qingyan came in with a tray.
"There should be no problem with this ingredient, right?" Li Dongsheng was a little paranoid.
"The cook and the ingredients should be fine. They're going to eat it themselves, so just eat it!"
Jiang Youzhen brought the overheated porridge. Qinglang and Qingyan’s cooking skills were not very good, but they could still make simple porridge and meals.
After eating in the house, Jiang Youzhen and the others went to the next room.
When Fang Zhongyi saw several people coming, he took the big bun and lean meat porridge from Jiang Youzhen's hand and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Thank you for keeping watch, Brother Fang!" Jiang Youzhen said.
"Fortunately, we only ate lamb and braised pork ribs yesterday, otherwise we would have really been knocked out!" Fang Zhongyi laughed when he saw Li Dongsheng and others who seemed to be greatly shocked.
"You guys are fine after eating the lamb and the pork ribs in sauce, how do you know there's no drug in these two dishes?" Qin Yandong still wanted to ask, even if he didn't mind asking, he would definitely learn his lesson next time.
"The braised pork ribs only have bones and meat. If they were drugged, it would be easy to detect, right? Besides, the drug is absorbed by the soup. Would you drink the soup after eating the braised pork ribs? As for the lamb meat, that's easier to understand!"
Jiang Youzhen said as he looked at the five people tied to the ground and cast his gaze on the last one.
"The lamb meat was prepared in advance. It's a ready-made stew, so even if you put poison in it, it won't blend in! On the contrary, the rest are all hot dishes. To be on the safe side, they may have poisoned these three dishes.
Therefore, the two dishes we mentioned are still safe. The last staple food, steamed buns, are hard and feel like they have been left out for a few days and then heated up, which is even safer. "
Fang Zhongyi had been in the underworld for two years before, and although he didn't learn anything else, he did learn a lot of underworld knowledge.
The others finally understood, and their eyes were filled with admiration.
"Then why did you tell Qingyan and the others but not us? Otherwise we wouldn't have been tricked." Qin Yandong muttered.
"If you knew, wouldn't it be exposed? As for Qinglang and Qingyan, when we are away from home, they won't touch the food if I don't touch it."
Jiang Youzhen said as he walked towards another person, only to see that this person was wearing a black cloak that covered his body completely.
"Who is this? He looks unfamiliar."
"You don't know, this post station has become a den of thieves. This is the post station's groom." Fang Zhongyi sneered.
