Chapter 173: Confidentiality
"Uncle Yan, please help me keep this secret." Pei Yian's tone was filled with pleading.
Old Man Yan sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I will."
The wound was not serious, and the bleeding was stopped in time last night. Old Man Yan applied medicine powder on the wound and treated it.
During this process, Pei Yian's expression did not change at all, as if he didn't care about the pain at all.
Old Man Yan couldn't help but look at the man with respect, and then thought that the effects of the previous herbs might be even stronger. This man was really patient.
After the wound was healed, Pei Yian handed the things he had collected to Old Man Yan.
After seeing it, Old Man Yan studied it carefully and his expression became more solemn. The result that he didn't want to see finally happened.
Some people are using the flower gentleman to research addictive substances. Once this thing is successful and put into use, the consequences are unimaginable.
Old Man Yan told Pei Yian about his discovery. Pei Yian was smart and had a guess of his own, so he accepted it well.
But after he told Zhou Yayi and others the news, everyone couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Zhou Yayi had heard that long-term use of Flower Gentleman could easily lead to addiction. If these things were put into use, then...
This matter was of great importance, so he did not dare to delay and hurriedly informed the county magistrate, while also mentioning Pei Yian's name in front of others.
The county magistrate, who had originally had doubts about the case, did not expect things to develop in this direction. He was shocked and hurriedly asked Pei Yian to meet with him.
Pei Yian bowed respectfully, and there was no fault to be found.
The county magistrate also began to look at the man in front of him. There was nothing special about his clothes, but his aura was very strong. At the first sight of this man, one could probably guess that his identity was not simple.
This was indeed the case. The county magistrate looked through the household registration and information and found out that this person was actually exiled from the capital.
Those who could be exiled were almost all high-ranking officials. At least their status was much higher than that of himself, the county magistrate of Qizhou County.
The county magistrate restrained his gaze and asked, "I heard that Master Pei was harmed? Is he okay now?"
Pei Yian: "It's nothing serious now. Thank you for your concern."
"Since you were injured because of the government case, I feel bad for you. You must accept these tonic herbs. As for the rest, we will definitely not lose out."
This Mr. Pei was exiled from the capital. He must have been trained like a member of a large family. Their vision and thinking are not bad. If he can become his staff, then it should be...
The county magistrate also intended to win him over. Even though Qizhou County was not big, as the head of a county, he managed the entire Xinzhou County. As an official appointed by the court and the parent of the people, he also had some ambitions to govern the county well.
"Thank you, Pei, I really don't need it."
Pei Yian's refusal did not work, and these tonic herbs were eventually given to Pei Yian.
After knowing the seriousness of the case, the county magistrate attached great importance to it. Zhou, the yamen runner, also told him that there might be a traitor in the yamen. He did not dare to let his guard down and could only act according to the previous method.
Zhou Yayi immediately sent people to check those courtyards. Only a few hours had passed, and it was impossible for those people to empty the entire house. In addition, due to the fire and the assassin, only part of the things were moved away.
A lot of traces were left behind for the government to investigate, and together with the information stored in Pei Yian's mind, he wrote it all down after he returned.
This time we really found a lot of useful clues. After a thorough investigation, we found that the people who were involved in these matters were all promoted and trained by Zhou Yayi.
He did not bring Huang Zhubo with him for this operation, so Huang Zhubo started to shout wildly and said he would help with the case no matter what.
Zhou Yayi looked at the person who had been making trouble, and a malicious smile appeared on his face. "Master, don't you know what's going on?"
"You...what do you mean?" Huang Zhubo felt that something was out of his control and was about to get out of control.
But no one paid any attention to his question. It can be said that everyone subconsciously ignored his problem and even his existence.
No matter how the other party shouts, it will be of no use.
Under the full responsibility of Zhou Yayi and the assistance of Pei Yian, they caught a few fish that had slipped through the net. The identities of these people were probably guards on duty.
Zhou Yayi took his men back for interrogation, but after being severely tortured, the other party showed no intention of revealing any information.
This made Zhou Yayi a little anxious, and he could only increase the force of his men. After all, it was not a pleasant feeling to have the news right in front of him but not be able to get it.
Because he didn't get any clues from these suspects, Zhou Yayi became very irritable and angry, and you could tell at a glance that he was in a bad mood.
Pei Yian learned about this from someone else and stepped forward. "Ye Yi Zhou, perhaps I can help you interrogate the prisoner."
Zhou Yayi was a little skeptical. He knew that Master Pei was good at solving cases, but could he really handle something like an interrogation?
But those people couldn't get any information out of their mouths, so they gave this opportunity to Pei Yian and asked him to give it a try. With such intentions, he brought his men to the prison.
Pei Yian looked at the few people who kept silent, and a faint smile appeared on his face. This smile seemed particularly creepy in this gloomy environment.
"Since you are unwilling to reveal any information, are you interested in this thing?" Pei Yian was holding a pill-sized object in his hand. When the suspects saw it, their pupils widened instantly.
"I don't know if you know this thing. It's the latest generation of Flower Gentleman Pills. It seems to make people addicted for a while, then they start to sink into pain and finally die suddenly." Pei Yian calmly talked about the harm of the thing in his hand. These were all what he saw in the secret room notebook.
He held the pill in his hand and walked towards those people step by step, just like a Shura in the dark night, carrying the terrifying aura of death.
One look at it and you'll be filled with fear and uneasiness.
Even the other yamen runners were a little frightened. What was wrong with this Mr. Pei? Why was he so scary?
After hearing what Pei Yian said, these people's expressions were somewhat moved. They knew best the harm of these flower gentleman pills. Once they were infected, they would suffer extremely painfully and die suddenly in the end. They had seen such scenes too many times.
They instinctively felt a little fear in their bones, especially when they saw the man who was like a Shura from hell, who stopped beside them, holding a few Flower Gentleman Pills in his hand as if feeding them.
