Chapter 150 It’s over, they are really finished
He glanced at Duan Yu, who was distributing the herbs, and asked a soldier beside him with a gloomy expression, "Is that the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley you mentioned?"
The officer followed the magistrate's gaze and saw Duan Yu. He immediately nodded and said, "Your Excellency, it is him!"
The county magistrate narrowed his eyes when he heard the soldiers' answer.
He looked at Duan Yu, who looked gentle and refined, and he didn't think he could take away all the medicinal materials and jewelry from his county government office without anyone noticing.
Besides, since he is the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley, he should not do such a stealing thing!
Thinking of what my master said, this young master came with the exiles from the capital, if it wasn't him, then it must be that group of exiles, otherwise they are all in the same group!
First, the exiles stole the gold, silver, jewelry, rare antiques and medicinal herbs from his mansion, and then the young master of the so-called Divine Doctor Valley came forward to distribute the medicinal herbs to the people, thereby winning over the people's hearts, in order to make plans for their future rebellion or return to Beijing!
The more the county magistrate thought about it, the more convinced he was. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you find evidence proving these herbs are the ones stolen from my mansion, I'll skin and rip those exiled criminals apart!"
At this time, the lawyer and his men had already entered the dilapidated temple with a few of their men to check whether the medicinal herb called Mawei was the same as what the county magistrate said.
The medicinal herbs they saw were indeed slightly red in color, and they were immediately panicked.
"Master...Master, what...what should I do?"
These people were all subordinates who were close to the master. When they saw the medicinal herb called Mawei piled up in the dilapidated temple, they found that it was really red in color, just as the county magistrate said. They couldn't help but get nervous and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
If these medicinal herbs were really stolen from the county magistrate's mansion, and they were all distributed to the people, then if the county magistrate blames them, wouldn't they be in big trouble?
"It's over, it's over, we are really finished this time!"
The officers and soldiers couldn't help but panic and walked around.
"Master, the county magistrate wouldn't be angry with us for this, would he? We didn't know these herbs were the ones stolen from his house. Even if we knew earlier, we wouldn't have known it earlier. Who would have thought these herbs were the ones stolen from his house!"
The lawyer looked at his men in panic and said soothingly, "Alright, stop scaring yourselves. Instead of worrying about whether the county magistrate will vent his anger on us, why not quickly hide all these undistributed hemp tails before the county magistrate and his men come in? Move quickly and don't let him find out!"
When the subordinates heard this, they all thought that the method suggested by the master was feasible.
They quickly picked out all the hemp tails and hid them in a remote corner of the dilapidated temple.
After doing all this, everyone was sweating. Of course, there were cold sweats from fear, and also sweats from anxiety!
Fortunately, there were five or six of them and they acted quickly. It took them less than a quarter of an hour to transfer all the red medicinal herbs.
They looked at each other, took a breath at the same time, calmed down their emotions, and walked out of the ruined temple together.
From the moment the master and his companions entered the dilapidated temple, Xia Xing'er's spiritual consciousness has been following them.
Just now he watched them discussing how to deal with the hemp tails, and he also saw that they hid all the hemp tails in the corner of the dilapidated temple.
She was very satisfied with their attitude, but they seemed to have forgotten one thing: their county magistrate was a shrewd man.
As long as he entered the dilapidated temple and saw that the most important herb, hemp tail, was missing from the herbs for treating the plague, he would definitely be suspicious. He would also definitely think that the master had turned away from him and that was why he hid these herbs.
Xia Xing'er covered the entire ruined temple with her consciousness, and soon saw the red hemp tail hidden in the ruined temple, and quickly put it into the space.
When Xia Xing'er had just finished doing all this, the master and several officers and soldiers had already arrived at the gate of the dilapidated temple.
The legal advisor walked in front, followed by the officers and soldiers. He bowed and smiled as he said to the county magistrate, "Sir, several of us have just checked. There is no red hemp tail you mentioned."
The officers and soldiers also echoed: "Sir, it is just as Master said just now. We have searched all the medicinal herbs and have not seen any red hemp tail at all, not even hemp tail!"
The county magistrate heard their answers and frowned unhappily, saying, "How could there be none?"
He glanced sharply at his advisor and the officers and soldiers, then said slowly, "Since none of you have noticed, I will go and take a look myself!"
When the legal advisor and several officers and soldiers heard that the county magistrate wanted to check it out themselves, they shuddered with fear.
But none of them dared to step forward to stop them. They could only watch as the county magistrate, with his trusted followers, strode towards the place where the medicinal herbs were stored in the dilapidated temple.
The master and his men followed closely behind, feeling extremely panicked.
When the county magistrate arrived at the dilapidated temple, he saw a lot of medicinal herbs in it, some of which had already been taken away and boiled into medicine.
He strode forward and quickly searched among the herbs for his hemp tail.
But after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the hemp tail he was looking for.
He turned around and saw his legal advisor and the officers and soldiers. They all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him, with a guilty look on their faces. Although they tried hard to cover up, it could not escape the eyes of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate soon realized that these people might have become alienated from him.
So they wanted to help those who stole his medicinal herbs to distribute them to the people of Qu County, and they didn't dare let him find out.
They were just a few loyal dogs he kept, but they dared to betray him. They were so bold.
They'd better hide their fox tails and not let him catch them, otherwise he will definitely let these people know the consequences of betraying him.
The county magistrate didn't care how many people there were and began to search everywhere in the ruined temple.
He just didn't believe that there was no hemp tail among these medicinal herbs.
Hemp tail is the most important medicinal ingredient among these herbs. Without it, the effect of treating and preventing plague will be greatly reduced!
So he was sure that there must be hemp tail here, but it was hidden by these traitors.
He had been waiting at the entrance of the ruined temple just now, and he didn't see them taking the herbs out. He was sure that these herbs must still be in the ruined temple, but they were hidden away.
He immediately called his trusted men to join him in the search.
