Chapter 015 Someone Ran Away
Feng Aoqing rubbed his eyes and saw the escorts who were gathered together to rest were rolling on the ground in pain.
The same is true for the night watchmen.
Their screams woke up everyone in the camp, but none of the prisoners dared to step forward.
Feng Aoqing jumped up and went to check the situation, and An Jinge followed using light skills.
When the two men ran closer, they saw that the four escorts were foaming at the mouth and had severe abdominal pain.
"Poisoned!" Feng Aoqing and An Jinge shouted at the same time.
"Bring those four people here! They can still be saved!" Feng Aoqing said to An Jingge anxiously.
An Jinge ran through the camp and saw that none of the prisoners had fallen down, but everyone still didn't dare to move.
She then called out to everyone, "Hurry up and help! If someone dies, none of us can escape! Carry the officials to the carriage!"
Several strong men began to help carry the person.
Feng Aoqing saved Jiang Yi first because Jiang Yi knew that she was a doctor.
She poured the spiritual spring water from the water bag into his mouth, and his abdominal pain was relieved a lot.
At this time, An Jinge had already carried the four people over, and Feng Aoqing fed them spiritual spring water one by one.
"This is the water soaked with the herbs I picked yesterday. It has the effect of detoxification. But I need to know what you have eaten so that I can get rid of the remaining poison." Feng Aoqing said after seeing that everyone was feeling better.
"It's you...the porridge you made!" Jiang Yi shouted.
"Bah! I even ate a bowl! How come you don't see that I'm okay?" Feng Aoqing cursed.
Mo Mingyuan had come to help, but when he heard that someone here was poisoned, he used Qinggong to take a few steps to get in front of his eldest brother, looked around, and asked, "Brother, how are you?!"
Mo Beiyuan was confused.
"Don't you also drink the porridge that helps with the problem?"
"I'm fine! Close your ears from now on! If you eavesdrop on my wife and I again, I'll punish you! Give me a hand!"
"Oh, okay, I was close! It wasn't intentional."
"Water..." Wei Ze said weakly.
Feng Aoqing thought he still wanted to drink water, so she put the water bag close to his mouth again.
Wei Ze shook his head and said, "Our...water bag!"
Feng Aoqing understood and went to check immediately. When she smelled it, there was no smell.
She tilted her head back and prepared to drink.
"Ao Qing!" Mo Beiyuan roared, "Don't want to die!"
"Oh, it's okay! Get out of the way!" Feng Aoqing just wet her lips with the water and licked it into her mouth with the tip of her tongue.
"There's something wrong with the water. Do you have any medicinal herbs with you? Do you have any mung beans?" Feng Aoqing walked back to the fallen escort and asked.
Jiang Yi nodded and pointed to one of the two carriages and said, "There's a black wooden box with some herbs in it. See if you can use it."
Mo Beiyuan was worried and followed him.
The black box was at the bottom, and Mo Mingyuan and An Jingge were ready to move the boxes on top of it down.
At this moment, a hand grabbed An Jinge.
"This kind of rough work needs to be done by men! You are a girl, so stay away." Mo Nanzhou rolled up his sleeves.
Mo Nanzhou shouted "Hey", Mo Mingyuan had already stood up, but he didn't react at all.
"Hey!"
An Jinge patted his shoulder and waved.
An Jinge lifted the box with one hand. Mo Mingyuan held back his laughter and lifted the other end.
"I, maybe, maybe I'm tired..." Mo Nanzhou stepped back tactfully.
"Can you even cure poison?" Mo Beiyuan asked while waiting for the box.
"I know so many things, but you just think I'm useless." Feng Aoqing rolled her eyes at Mo Beiyuan.
"My maternal grandfather was the most famous doctor in Lianzhou. My mother grew up in a pharmacy. Whenever I went back to my maternal grandfather's house with my mother, I was forced to memorize all kinds of prescriptions. I knew that marrying into a wealthy family would be like entering a deep sea, and I was afraid of being harmed."
Mo Beiyuan was speechless after being confronted by her and could only stare at her silently.
Feng Aoqing took out the black box and found some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines in it to boil some water to drink.
These medicines could not cure their poison at all, they were just an excuse. The real antidote was the antidote she made using the poison technique taught by her grandmother.
Fortunately, as long as she entered the space, the world here would stop and her condition would not worsen.
After struggling for an hour or so, they finally recovered.
"Are they okay?" Jiang Yi asked the person standing in front of him. If too many people in this team died, he would also be responsible.
His gaze fell on Mo Beiyuan, who gave him a complicated look in return.
"This poison is a compound poison, not natural." Feng Aoqing's words made him more certain of his thoughts.
At this time, Mo Mingyuan came back and reported: "Five people are missing."
Just now, Mo Beiyuan had already noticed something unusual, so he asked Mo Mingyuan to count the heads.
Anyone who was still at home didn't dare to run away.
Jiang Yi knew who these five people were without asking. He had a rough idea of them.
They were wanted criminals, and no one knew why they came to the capital so blatantly. As a result, they were recognized by the bailiffs, apprehended in the capital, and sentenced to exile.
When traveling, Jiang Yi focused on these people, but they had been very quiet for the past two days, and unexpectedly they ran away before entering Yanzhou.
Mo Beiyuan said, "Yanzhou is densely populated, and wherever there is a city, there are constables, so the chances of escape are much smaller. If we follow them out of Yanzhou and run again, we will have to endure many more days of hardship. This place is indeed the most suitable."
Feng Aoqing gently bumped his hand.
He cursed with his eyes: Who doesn't know? You want me to tell you! Are the escort officials shameless?
Eye contact reply: I was almost poisoned to death, how can I still have the face to do that?
He looked at me with a scolding look: "You are so capable? Why didn't you remind me earlier?"
Eye contact: It’s none of my business.
Even though he was still looking at her with a scolding look, Mo Beiyuan waved his hand and let the others leave.
"Tomorrow, when you enter Yanjing, go to the government office and report this matter. Then go find the bounty collector Si Chen. He should still be in Yanjing. Tell him my name and he will help you catch him."
Jiang Yi sighed and nodded.
Everyone then went back to rest.
Feng Aoqing couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it the same as those two? Just say he's dead, right?"
Mo Beiyuan patiently explained, "Serious criminals can't be removed, like them, like you and me. If they die on the road, their bodies need to be taken to the nearest city and handed over to the government for identification before they can be removed from the list."
"Then why did you arrange for someone to catch him?"
"These people are extremely vicious. If they escape, they will only bring disaster to the people." Mo Beiyuan said with a serious expression at this time.
"You are quite righteous. Do you have money to pay the bounty hunter?"
"He doesn't have to pay."
Mo Beiyuan didn't hear a response. He turned his head and saw Feng Aoqing leaning against the tree next to him, snoring softly.
This continued throughout the day, and Mo Beiyuan inexplicably felt sorry for her.
Feng Aoqing's hair was disheveled, but it still couldn't hide her stunning beauty. Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, moonlight fell on her pointed nose, and her lips were as red as hibiscus petals. There was really nothing imperfect about her.
Now she tilted her head, revealing her snow-white neck, and a purple mark could be vaguely seen under her collar.
