Chapter 55: Sleeping Potion
"Dad, besides the two of us, who else is in this room?" The hunter also looked around and said with a smile, "It must have been a rat."
The inn is shabby, so it's not surprising that there are a few rats.
But this rat is too arrogant, daring to parade through the streets in broad daylight.
After hearing this, the old housekeeper's alertness gradually disappeared: "It would be strange if the inn is this dirty and the business is good."
He cursed a few times and then left.
Shen Wan was cautious this time.
After the door was closed, she silently hooked her fingers, and the big paper bag in the cabinet was in her hand.
When I opened it, I found a bag full of knockout drugs!
She thought about it, poured out most of the medicine, and added some flour.
After finishing everything, he put the big paper bag back to its place.
When she returned to the hall, she saw Xie Mubai looking at her with a smile in his eyes: "The old lady said she wanted to write me an IOU, saying that all the wedding gifts received would belong to us. Do you think I should agree?"
Shen Wan smiled sweetly: "Of course I have to agree to this. It's better than not getting a penny at all."
"You thought the same as I did, so I accepted the IOU. We'll wait to have the wedding banquet together in the evening." Xie Mubai nodded.
Shen Wan winked at Hu Dahai and deliberately raised her voice: "Of course I have to drink a few more glasses. My sister-in-law's marriage is a big happy event."
"I think we shouldn't even eat. Let's save some space for a big meal tonight."
Seeing her wink, Hu Dahai didn't react much and continued to drink tea calmly.
Shen Wan smiled meaningfully, then pushed Xie Mubai back to the room.
As soon as she returned to the house, she looked around and said in a low voice, "They prepared a knockout drug and want to kill us all!"
"Such a despicable trick!" Xie Mubai couldn't help but look disdainful. "Don't worry, I've already asked Wang Qi to inform Hu Dahai."
Hu Dahai is not a person who likes to cause trouble, but now that the knife is at his neck, he has no choice but to resist.
After hearing this, Shen Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's one more thing. They said there was a map of the saltpeter mine among the things I got from Linjiazhuang." She frowned slightly. "I looked for it before, but didn't see any map."
When Xie Mubai heard the word "nitrate mine", his expression suddenly changed.
He didn't say anything, but silently took off the hairpin from his head.
Without the magnolia hairpin, it looks completely different from before.
He exerted a little force, and the small hairpin broke, revealing a piece of yellowed paper scroll inside.
When I opened it, it turned out to be a map.
It turned out that there was a huge saltpeter mine hidden in the mountains a few miles in front of the inn!
The third prince ordered people to mine there, process the explosives, and then have the innkeepers escort them to a cave on another mountain, where the housekeeper's son disguised himself as a hunter to guard it.
If Shen Wan hadn't accepted the money by mistake, no one would have known about it until now.
"How did you know it was hiding here?" Shen Wan was a little surprised.
Xie Mubai smiled coldly, with a cold glint in his eyes: "The Third Prince likes magnolia flowers the most."
"I'm afraid tonight's wedding banquet will be very lively."
The strong wind came without warning, dark clouds covered the sky, and the raindrops as big as beans twisted into hemp ropes as thick as fingers, whipping this dirty world viciously.
In the vast night rain, the small inn was decorated with lights and was extremely lively.
The convicts had not seen meat for a long time. Now that they had meat and wine, they ate so much that they even forgot their own names.
The hunter and Sun, wearing bright red wedding gowns, toasted everyone one by one and looked like a married couple.
Shen Wan had already replaced the wine in the glass with spiritual spring water, and she and Xie Mubai were drinking happily.
"Oh my God, why do I feel a little dizzy..." Xie Mubai held his forehead and suddenly fell on the table.
Just as Shen Wan was about to stand up, her body went limp and she fell to the ground.
Before Sun could react, all the prisoners fainted on the ground.
Although it is only a partial knockout drug, it is still possible to put a person into a light coma.
"This...what happened?" Sun looked at it and her face turned pale with fright.
The hunter didn't answer directly, but just asked with a sneer: "Are the meat buns delicious?"
Sun nodded bewilderedly.
Of course they are delicious, otherwise she wouldn’t eat three of them so early in the morning.
"That's it." The hunter glanced at the fugitives and grinned sinisterly. "This much meat will probably last us for several years."
Upon hearing this, Sun was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
Meat buns!
Oh my god, those buns are made of human flesh!
It turns out that this... this is actually a shady shop!
"Brother Gou, I beg you... please let me go..." Sun's face turned pale, and she looked at the hunter tremblingly, "I promise, I will forget everything that happened here, please don't kill me..."
"Let you go?" The hunter sneered, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes. "Do you think I'm stupid enough to hand the hilt to someone else?"
"Dad, you are right. This woman cannot stay!"
father?
Sun was shocked.
The old butler no longer concealed the truth and took off the human skin mask on his face.
When she saw it was him, Sun was terrified: "I won't leave. I will live here peacefully and give birth to many children for Brother Gou!"
"As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything you ask me to do!"
"I'm already Gou Ge's person. Maybe I'm already pregnant with his child..."
"Don't talk nonsense to me!" The old housekeeper looked at her coldly with a gloomy face: "I'll ask you one last time, where did Aunt Zhou put that property?"
Sun was already frightened and shook her head desperately.
How would she know?
If she knew, she would be the first to steal the money.
"Since you don't know, then do it!" The old butler laughed coldly, "After all, only the dead can keep secrets!"
He gave a wink, and the waiters serving beside him drew out their long swords in a flash.
Shen Wan clenched the silver needle in her hand and was about to attack when she saw Hu Dahai jump up.
He raised his sword and chopped off the hunter's head with one stroke.
The old butler was furious.
He waved his hand and shouted sternly: "Come on!"
Just as the waiters were about to take action, they saw flashes of silver light and fell to the ground one after another.
Shen Wan was slightly stunned.
She clearly only took out three silver needles, so how come seven or eight waiters fell to the ground at the same time?
When she looked up, she saw Xie Mubai looking at her with a smile: "My lady, you have great skills."
After hearing this, Shen Wan came back to her senses.
How could she forget that this villain is a master at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
The old butler's face changed.
He was about to escape when another officer put a knife to his throat.
One after another, people got up from the ground.
"You...you are all okay?" The old butler widened his eyes in shock.
Shen Wan patted the dust off her body and said with a smile: “If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not taking enough medicine!”
Are there not enough medicines?
That huge bag of medicine is more than enough to knock out more than a hundred people, not to mention a hundred elephants!
"You did this?" The old butler asked with bloodshot eyes.
Shen Wan did not deny it: “Yes, I replaced most of the medicine with flour.”
"Then why don't you change them all?" The old butler was a little puzzled.
Shen Wan smiled and said, “If everything is changed, how can everyone appreciate the good show you put on?”
The old housekeeper heard this and sneered, "I actually ignored you, a piece of trash!"
"But don't get complacent too soon, my master will never let you go!"
Suddenly, he bit his tongue hard, and a stream of blood slowly slid down the corner of his mouth.
The rain stopped and the sun came out.
After cleaning up the bodies, Hu Dahai decided to rest here and set off the next day.
Everyone was in a light coma at the time and could hear everything that was happening outside very clearly.
Shen Wan had made a great contribution. Not to mention Hu Dahai, even Scarface dragged his sickly body to kneel down to thank her.
If she hadn't changed the medicine, they would have turned into meat buns by now.
Shen Wan didn’t bother to pay attention to him and went straight back to the villain.
"Do you want to get rich?" Xie Mubai raised his eyes and looked at Shen Wan.
