Chapter 309 Did you click your head wrongly?

"Are you sure it was Hou Jian who had his face disfigured?" Xiao Jiuyue stared at Jin Wu with burning eyes. If the situation did not allow it, Xiao Jiuyue would have wanted to go directly to Hou Jian. She wanted to ask him where the silver had gone!

"It should be possible." There was still a hint of uncertainty in Jin Wu's words. He said, "Miss, I asked those bandits. They are just some small fry. The Eighteen Villages correspond to eighteen mountaintops. They are just the outermost ones. They usually do some small jobs."

"Eighteen hilltops?" Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow and said, "So, these Eighteen Villages are actually composed of eighteen small villages?"

"Yes." Jin Wu nodded firmly and said, "I tortured Shan Ge, so what he said must be the truth. They are from the Yellow Mountain, the outermost one. There are three mountain tops in total, Tiandi Xuanhuang, and each mountain top corresponds to several mountain tops. All of them obey the leader of the Tian Mountain."

"Heaven and Earth, why don't they use the twelve Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches?" Xiao Jiuyue's mouth twitched. It was the first time she knew that Heaven and Earth could be used in this way. She asked, "How many mountains are there in each Heaven and Earth?"

"There's one Tian, ​​two Di, three Xuan, and the remaining twelve are all Huang-branded mountains," Jin Wu replied. "They don't know much, but Luo Sanniang is very famous. She's the eldest boss's sister."

"The boss's sister?" Xiao Jiuyue walked around the courtyard. In the silent night, the courtyard was particularly quiet. She asked, "Do you have a distribution map of these hills?"

"No." Jin Wu shook his head and drew on the ground with a branch. "What is certain is that the six mountains of Tiandixuan are tightly surrounded. It is difficult to pass through the mountains of Huangzi to reach Tianzi."

"Wait a little longer and see if Shang Yifan has found the person."

Xiao Jiuyue stared at what Jin Wu had drawn on the ground. She turned and looked in the direction of the Eighteen Villages. She saw the endless hilltops under the moonlight. Each hilltop was like a point, looking out for each other. No wonder, the troops sent to suppress the rebellion last year not only failed, but also resulted in a thousand casualties, while the enemy only lost a few hundred people.

"Miss, it's late." Lian Xin brought forward a cup of strong tea and asked, "There's some sweet potato porridge warming up in the kitchen. Would you like to try some?"

"No need, Lianxin, prepare paper and pen." Xiao Jiuyue walked quickly into the house and began to analyze the map bit by bit to see if there was any possible breakthrough point.

Time passed little by little, and Jin Wen came back. He said, "Miss, Luo Yuan went to the Wang, Li, Liu, and Zou families in the village..."

"It seems that he really wants to save his son." Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Let's go find out tomorrow and find out how his son got involved with the bandit family."

"Yes." Jin Wen responded and asked, "Miss, those bandits didn't go back today. If they don't go back tomorrow, I'm afraid they will be alerted."

Before Xiao Jiuyue could even begin to speak, Hua Qing came running over, eager to claim credit, saying, "Miss, I've made the medicine. It's called the Heart-Wrenching Pill. After taking it, you'll experience excruciating pain every midnight for seven days."

"That's right, Hua Qing, you must develop your medicine-making skills." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Hua Qing with admiration and said, "Jin Wen, give these medicines to them. Tonight, make sure they feel the heart-wrenching pain! Tell them that within seven days, if they don't get the antidote, they will die of heartburn!"

"Yes." Jin Wen looked at the medicine in Hua Qing's hand with great interest in his eyes. After leaving the room, Jin Wen asked excitedly: "Hua Qing, can your medicine really give them heart pain? Can it even kill people?"

"Of course, in addition to numerology, our Hua clan is also very good at making poisons." Hua Qing looked proud, her eyes rolling around, and asked, "How about you try it first?"

Jin Wen took a step back and shook his head expressionlessly, "No."

"What are you afraid of? I'll give you the antidote." Hua Qing raised the pill in her hand and handed it to him. Jin Wen ran away as fast as he could. Hua Qing looked at him and pursed her lips, saying, "You're too cowardly."

Hua Qing put the pills in her hand into the porcelain bottle and walked quickly towards the bandits. She was in high spirits: Little white mice, here I come!

She had to try it out to see how much pain these bandits could feel with this medicine.

In the room, Xiao Jiuyue picked up the pills left by Hua Qing, sniffed them, and found them extremely fishy. She quickly put them into a porcelain bottle and put a label on it. She pinched the bottle and put it into the treasure bag she had specially kept, thinking: Besides fortune-telling, the people of the Hua clan also make poisons and medicines?

"You guys slept soundly."

As soon as Hua Qing entered the house, she saw the bandits sleeping in a mess in the woodshed, and she took out her porcelain bottle and said, "Now, I want to bring you some delicious food."

When Shan Ge saw Hua Qing, he couldn't help but hide back. This woman is more cruel than a man. He shook his head. Before he could say anything, Hua Qing came towards him and said with a bright smile: "Did you nod your head wrongly? Come on, you're the first one."

"No, I don't want to eat." Shan Ge pursed his lips and backed away with all his strength, but he was leaning against the firewood behind him and couldn't move forward.

"No, you want to eat it." Hua Qing went straight to his hands, pinched his chin, stuffed the pill into his mouth before he screamed, and finally poured water directly into his mouth.

"Hmm." Shan Ge's pupils widened as big as copper bells. The moment he swallowed the medicine, he panicked visibly. He looked at Hua Qing and asked, "You, what did you give me to eat?"

"Of course it's good stuff!" Hua Qing looked at him with a smile. To prevent him from screaming out later, she stuffed a cloth into his mouth and poured it in one by one. When she got tired of pouring it in, Hua Qing looked back at Jin Wu and said, "Jin Wu, you take care of the rest."

"What kind of medicine is this? A heartbreaking pill? A life-threatening pill?" Jin Wu took the medicine and poured it directly into the bandit's mouth. He had inquired along the way and found out that all the bandits in the Eighteen Villages were not good people. Not only did they rob the rich, but once they were out of money, they would not even let go of the nearby villagers.

"After taking the Heart-Wrenching Pill, you will experience heart pain every night at midnight, which will make you feel worse than death. After seven days, if there is no antidote, you will die of pain!" Hua Qing's light words fell, and Shan Ge and others were so scared that their eyes almost fell out.

“Hmm.” “Hmm.”

Shan Ge and others looked at Hua Qing excitedly, as if wanting to verify whether her words were true or false.

"Good stuff, Miss Huaqing, can you prepare some for me too?" Jin Wu was quick and efficient. He pinched the bandit's chin, afraid that they would shout out, so he directly removed the jaw, fed them the medicine, put it back, and finally stuffed it with cloth, all in one go!

"Aren't you afraid?" Hua Qing looked at Jin Wu with interest. Compared with Jin Wen, Jin Wu was obviously much braver.
