"Who!" The servant who was patrolling outside the yard heard the noise and ran over, but couldn't get in for a while.
Ah Man, who was sleeping in the side room, woke up in shock and ran out. She saw a black shadow passing by. She didn't know how to do martial arts, so she threw her shoes out in a hurry, hitting Wei Laogou in the back.
Although Wei Laogou managed to expel the poison, there was still some residual poison in his body, which seriously damaged his vitality. His lightness skills were not very stable to begin with, and he was hit this time and fell directly from mid-air and rolled to the ground.
He wanted to run again, but Ah Man caught up with him and stepped on him, "I told you to run!"
Ah Man's kick caused Wei Lao Gou to spit out blood again and faint.
The patrolling servant rushed over and asked, "Miss Ah Man, are you okay?"
Ah Man raised his head and said, "What could happen to me? How did you patrol? You actually let the thieves sneak into the girl's yard. If anything happens to the girl——"
The patrolmen lowered their heads in shame.
"Alright, tie him up and keep him safe. We'll make a decision tomorrow when the girl wakes up."
The patrolling servant immediately did as she said.
Ah Man yawned, found the shoes that had hit someone, put them on, and went back to sleep.
As for why he didn't care about Xue Huan who was sleeping in the main house?
Because Xue Huan had already warned her not to enter her room without permission no matter what happened at night.
Cai Fu, who was waiting outside, didn't see Wei Laogou come out for a long time, and thought to himself, could it be that he was discovered?
However, when he thought of his superb martial arts skills, he felt that it was unlikely. Suddenly, he suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be that Old Dog Wei took the opportunity to run away?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case!
Previously, Wei Laogou vowed to help him find the source of the chili peppers in Zhao Xiaoxian's hands, but tonight he pretended to do so but did not get any results for a long time.
Maybe this old dog Wei has no idea what to do and is deliberately deceiving him!
The more Cai Fu thought about it, the angrier he became. He had paid Wei Laogou a deposit of one thousand taels in advance to ask him to do something for him! He would pay the other half after the job was done.
Now not only has the task not been accomplished, but also a loss of one thousand taels of silver has been made in vain!
This old dog Wei is such a dog!
Fuck you!
When Xue Huan came out of the house in the morning, she heard Ah Man talk about what happened last night.
After breakfast, she asked Ah Man to bring over the thief from last night.
Yesterday, Old Dog Wei was hit by Ah Man and was out of breath. The remaining poison that was not completely eliminated took the opportunity to spread in his body and was about to spread to his heart and lungs while he was unconscious.
After waking up, he found that he was about to be poisoned. He did not care about his current situation and immediately used his internal energy to resist the snake venom.
Fortunately, the remaining poison was forced back, and then Ah Man arrived.
Ah Man picked him up and walked away. A big man weighing 180 pounds was like a toy in her hands. Ah Man carried him all the way to the living room and threw him on the ground, "Girl, this guy was the one who sneaked in last night."
Xue Huan took a look and saw that the man's face was pale and his lips were blue. He looked like he had been poisoned and was about to die.
Looking at his hand, she saw two small holes at the base of his thumb, which seemed to have been bitten by the black snake she had left outside.
But then again, the black snake's venom is not ordinary. Last time in the cell, it poisoned the flower thief to death in an instant. Why didn't it poison this guy to death this time?
Xue Huan released the black snake and coiled it around her wrist to play with it.
Although she was quite afraid of the snake at first, the black snake's scales, which were originally somewhat mottled, have now become as dark as jade after being fed by the spiritual spring, with a faint jade-like glow, and its appearance has risen by more than one level.
Moreover, it has become much more intelligent and obedient, and can understand what she means very well, so now she can play with it very easily.
She slowly tore open a chicken leg and fed the meat to the snake. Although the black snake felt a little disgusted with the chicken leg because it did not contain spiritual energy, it still opened its mouth and ate it.
After playing with the black snake for a while, she said to Wei Laogou, "Do you want to confess yourself? Or do you want me to let it bite you and then you confess?"
Old Dog Wei recognized the black snake as soon as he saw it. This was the one that suddenly jumped out and bit him last night!
Thinking of the fear he felt last night when the snake venom took over his body, he subconsciously shuddered. "I'll tell you! Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you everything I know!"
If this thing bites him again, he won't have a second detoxification pill to take!
Will you lose your life by then?
At that time, I couldn't explain it even if I wanted to.
Xue Huan said calmly, "Name, background, and what you're here for."
Old Dog Wei carefully glanced at the black snake wrapped around her wrist, but saw the black snake flicking its tongue at him. He was startled and spoke.
"The villain Wei Suo——"
Xue Huan was drinking water and nearly spit it out when she heard that. "What's your name? Wretched? Why did your father give you such a name?"
This is simply cheating on the son, although this son is indeed a cheat.
Wei Laogou said with an embarrassed look: "It's the suona. My father used to play the suona. When I was born——"
Xue Huan raised her hand to stop him, "Let's get to the point. I'm not interested in your past."
Wei Laogou lowered his head, looking a little aggrieved, but he still told her the story obediently: "I am employed by Shopkeeper Cai of the Imperial Kitchen. He wants to know where the chili peppers in your hand come from, and I happen to have a little skill in tracking them down."
Only then did Xue Huan realize that the Imperial Kitchen had not given up on the chili peppers in her hand.
"Oh? Tracking? Can you show me?" Xue Huan was very curious.
Old Dog Wei looked at the rope around him and smiled at her ingratiatingly.
Xue Huan signaled Ah Man to untie the rope for him.
With his hands freed, Wei Laogou took out a white jade honeycomb and a bone bell from his arms. He shook the bone bell gently twice, and a tiny bee flew out of the honeycomb.
He glanced at Xue Huan cautiously. "This is a scent-seeking bee I raise. It can find anything within a ten-mile radius that this bee has smelled. It's with this skill that I've earned a reputation in the martial arts world."
Looking at the bee, Xue Huan suddenly remembered that there was a bee like this on her shoulder when she entered the space that day!
Previously, she thought it was just an ordinary bee that she accidentally brought into the space, but she didn't expect that it was a scent-seeking bee that could track her breath!
Thinking of this, Xue Huan couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, it was just a bee. If it was something else, her secret would be exposed!
Seeing that Xue Huan didn't say anything for a long time, Wei Laogou became more and more uneasy.
It was nothing, this woman was much more cruel than he thought. She wanted to kill him without blinking an eye.
No wonder they were able to gain a firm foothold in Fengchi County in just a few months, no wonder they were able to establish a relationship with the imperial merchant Ye family and make their business flourish, and no wonder they still managed to keep the source of chili peppers a secret for several months...
This woman is definitely not an ordinary person!
It is even possible that there is a person or force behind her that is not to be provoked.
Wei Laogou couldn't help but regret that he hadn't properly investigated Zhao Xiaoxian before rashly taking the job.
He even blamed his employer, Cai Fu, for being too unreliable and not even checking the strength of his opponent before confronting him.
Now he is suffering.
Xue Huan came back to her senses and tapped her fingers on the table, "Hand it over."
Wei Laogou was stunned. "What is it?"
"Playing dumb with me? Forget it, just let this little snake bite you and I'll search for you myself."
"No, no, no! Auntie, I'll pay it, can't I pay it?"
Wei Laogou did not dare to delay and quickly took out all the "treasures" hidden in various places on his body.
In addition to the bone bell and white jade honeycomb that were just taken out, there were also various miscellaneous weapons such as daggers and sleeve arrows, small cloth bags filled with flints, fire starters and other miscellaneous items, and belts filled with gold and silver in the hidden layer... all kinds of things were piled up in a pile.
Xue Huan was shocked. She couldn't believe he was carrying so many things.
Wei Laogou was still rummaging around. He took off his boots and reached in to feel around.
Xue Huan and Ah Man both showed expressions of disgust.
However, at this moment, Wei Laogou suddenly raised his head, opened his mouth, and a silver needle shot out from his mouth!
The silver needle shot straight towards Xue Huan and instantly reached her forehead.
Ah Man exclaimed, "Girl!"
