Chapter 151 The plan was disrupted
"All of you, come with me and search together. We must find the main herb for treating the plague, Mawei!"
The master saw that more and more people were coming to search, and he was getting as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. This dilapidated temple was so small, and at this rate of search, it would surely be searched thoroughly soon!
No matter how anxious he was, he had to maintain a calm and composed appearance. No one could tell that he was suffering like a frying pan at the moment.
The master's close confidants did not have his composure, and they were so scared that beads of sweat dripped down their foreheads.
Several people couldn't help but lament for themselves in their hearts: It's over, it's over, they are really going to be finished this time!
With so many people, the red hemp tails they hid will soon be found out, and then the county magistrate will definitely know that they were the ones who hid them!
Then you can imagine what will happen to them...
Several people began to tremble all over just thinking about it, and were almost unable to stand!
"Sir, I found it, it's here!"
Just as a few people were thinking about what kind of miserable situation would happen to them, they heard the county magistrate's confidants suddenly shouting.
With just a few simple words, several of the master's men finally couldn't hold on any longer and were frightened to death by their own imagination.
When the county magistrate saw the looks of these people, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It seemed that his idea was right. These people had already become disloyal to him.
Now that his true identity has been exposed, he is so frightened that he collapses to the ground.
It's too late to be scared now, but he will find evidence of their betrayal and throw it in their faces. That will be the death of these people!
If you dare to betray him, you will have to bear his wrath!
Following the officer's voice, the county magistrate quickly ran over and said, "Quick, get out of the way. Let me see where it is."
Then I saw the soldier who made the sound lift up the straw in the corner of the dilapidated temple, and saw that there was indeed the medicinal herb hemp tail underneath.
When the county magistrate saw the hemp tails piled there, he turned around without saying a word and slapped the legal advisor hard without saying a word.
"You treacherous bastard, how can you be worthy of my trust in you? Because I trust you, I gave you, a mere advisor, the opportunity to act on my behalf to manage the plague in Qu County. I gave you such great power, making you second only to the emperor in Qu County, but how did you do it? Are you worthy of me by doing this? You dare to betray me? I think you are really tired of living!"
The lawyer knelt on the ground in fear: "Sir, please spare our lives! We..."
Before the master could finish his words, the officers and soldiers who had found the hemp tail herbs suddenly spoke up: "Sir, these herbs seem to be different from what you described. They are not red, but the white color we often see!"
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Hearing this, the county magistrate was very surprised and walked away quickly, muttering: "How can it be white!"
He squatted down in disbelief and picked up the hemp tails one by one to look at them carefully, trying to find the familiar red color on them.
He kept picking them up and putting them down, he couldn't believe it. This couldn't be true: "Why aren't there any red ones? Why are they all white? These must be the herbs I lost. Why aren't there any red ones?"
Not finding the red color he wanted, he stood up angrily, threw the white hemp tail in his hand to the ground, and turned to look at the master and the officers and soldiers kneeling on the ground.
"Who among you can tell me why there are so many hemp tails here? Why are they hidden here? You'd better tell me the truth. What are you hiding from me?"
When the master saw this change, he was shocked, but also glad. His mind was working rapidly, thinking about how to save his life.
They came up with a plan in no time and kowtowed to the county magistrate: "Please spare our lives, sir. We did not hide this from you on purpose. We did this out of fear that you would blame us.
To be honest, we collected these hemp tails from a nearby herbalist without your knowledge, so we hid them in here for fear that you would find them."
Although the county magistrate felt that what the lawyer said made sense, it was not the answer he wanted.
If he said that, wouldn't it prove that these herbs have nothing to do with the herbs stolen from his house? This is not acceptable!
The county magistrate squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then immediately came up with an idea: "How about this, I'm kind enough to give you a chance to redeem yourself. It depends on whether you can catch him."
Master: "Please tell me, sir, as long as we can prove our loyalty to you, we will definitely die for you!"
The county magistrate was very pleased with his tact: "When you go out later, tell them that these herbs are indeed the ones lost in our mansion..."
Before the county magistrate finished speaking, a group of people came in and each of them took a hemp tail!
The county magistrate was furious when he saw them like this: "What are you doing? Who allowed you to come in? Who told you to take the herbs without permission?"
Duan Yu and Xia Xing'er walked in. Duan Yu felt a little panicked. He was not sure whether these hemp tails were really the ones that the county magistrate had stolen.
But when he saw Xia Xing'er's calmness, he instantly felt confident and looked at the county magistrate indifferently.
At this moment, he seemed to remember his identity. He was the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley, and he was still afraid of a small county magistrate.
"It was this young master who let them in. I think the county magistrate should have seen that these hemp tails are not the new red ones stolen from your mansion, but the white ones that the master and his men had prepared long ago. The other herbs have already been distributed, and now only this hemp tail is missing. Is there anything wrong with this young master doing this?"
The county magistrate was immediately furious. How could the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley be so annoying as to interrupt his plan so abruptly?
Originally, he didn't want to let the people see the quality of the hemp tail, so he asked his confidants to go to the city's Chinese medicine clinic to find some red hemp tails. He took them out to show the people, and then he could move all the medicinal materials back to his mansion.
As for the medicinal herbs used by the people, they can be considered as given by me to the people, and the credit will belong to me.
But now these people have seen that these medicinal herbs are not the ones stolen from his mansion, so how can he take the credit!
How could he not be angry when his plans were disrupted by this person?
Duan Yu looked at the county magistrate staring at him as if he wanted to eat him, but who was he?
He is the only young master of the Divine Doctor Valley. How could he be afraid of him? He simply ignored him and let the people continue to queue up in an orderly manner for the medicinal materials!
Xia Xing'er felt particularly refreshed when she saw the county magistrate's furious look!
