And just after that, Qian Ruoyu followed the golden lotus all the way forward, crossed the front yard and came to the courtyard.

I saw two people standing and chatting in the atrium.

There happened to be a scimitar on their waists, but Qian Ruoyu could clearly see that the beards of these two men were different from those of normal people.

There are many people with beards in the capital, and the most important thing is that their beards are almost all straight.

But the beards of these two men were curly, looking like wool curls, completely unlike those of the people in the Central Plains.

Could it be from the Western Regions?

Qian Ruoyu was shocked.

What exactly do they want to do?

But Jin Lianhua took Qian Ruoyu directly and walked in through the alley next to the wing.

This quadrangle courtyard was originally the yard of a wealthy family. It was a large villa with five entrances and nine depths. Therefore, even the courtyard was still extremely large in area. As long as they passed by from the side, the two people would not be able to spot them at all.

The two people were still chatting, and especially when Qian Ruoyu approached them, she heard that what they were saying was not the Central Plains dialect, which made Qian Ruoyu even more surprised.

It turns out that people from the Western Regions have already entered this capital city?

These people sneaked in, didn't anyone notice?

And the most important thing is that the capital city is almost calm, as if nothing has happened.

This situation made Qian Ruoyu's scalp tingle even more, and he always felt that something big was about to happen.

After crossing the small alley in the courtyard, the two finally arrived at the large courtyard in the middle, where various large vats were placed.

Qian Ruoyu was only in the corner, but he had already seen that the yard was filled with eighteen large vats. Even these eighteen large vats were emitting steam, and they looked steaming, obviously being heated and boiling.

In this courtyard, half of the people are from the Central Plains, and half are from the Western Regions.

What they have in common is that they all have a scimitar on their waist.

At this time, Qian Ruoyu also saw the middle-aged man who went to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

He was seen opening the sacks in his hands together with two other people from the Western Regions, and throwing the trichosanthes powder in the sacks onto a pile of firewood.

Almost a hundred kilograms of trichosanthes were piled on the firewood pile.

Then the middle-aged man picked up the torch and threw it on the pile of firewood.

With a whoosh sound, a huge fire instantly ignited on the pile of firewood, and instantly engulfed the hundreds of kilograms of trichosanthes.

Destroying the smallpox and hiding it in this secret base, all these actions made Qian Ruoyu realize that it seemed that something big was about to happen.

Moreover, this matter involves not only one place, but the entire capital city. By then, it will not just be one place that will suffer.

Especially what happened outside the capital can further verify this point. It seems that people from the Western Regions already know everything about the capital.

Just as Qian Ruoyu was about to go out, she heard the middle-aged man start talking.

"Hahaha, most of the Trichosanthes in this city have been collected by us. I will make one last trip tomorrow to collect the remaining ten kilograms of Trichosanthes. By then, there will be no more Trichosanthes in this city!"

"Our plan is about to succeed!"

Just as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, a man from the Western Regions dressed in black walked out of the main house.

"Boss Fang, you've done a great job. It seems that we have not trained you in vain. We have also allowed you to do such a great business in Beijing. All our efforts are very worthwhile."

"After you complete this mission, all the properties in the capital will belong to you! I hope you will be satisfied with our reward."

Hearing what the man in black said, the middle-aged man called Boss Fang also laughed.

"Please rest assured. We have been working together for more than ten years. How could I possibly help you? But you have to give me the special medicine first, otherwise my family and my property will be affected. What should I do then?"

After hearing what he said, the man in black threw out a few bottles from his sleeves. He put the bottles into the hands of one of his men, who then handed them to Boss Fang.

"These are the antidotes. Once something happens, you and your family will take the antidotes immediately. Take one pill a day, and you will be safe within three days."

After hearing what the man in black said, Boss Fang immediately opened the bottle, only to find that there were only about twenty pills in the bottle, and there were sixty or seventy pills in the three bottles.

He said immediately.

"This...what's going on? There are only a few dozen antidotes in here!"

"There are more than a dozen members of my family, and some of my important associates also need to take the antidote. If this is the case, it can only protect us for six days at most..."

The man in black raised his hand and said.

"What do you know? Boss Fang, we don't have enough medicine right now. We are very generous to you for giving us these antidotes!"

"Even some of my men don't have the antidote yet, but don't worry, we are refining more antidotes. When the antidote is ready, I will have someone send it to your house, so don't worry!"

After listening to the words of the man in black, Boss Fang nodded slightly.

"But it's true. You actually asked me to buy Trichosanthes powder for you. I'm so famous in the capital. What if someone recognizes me?"

The man in black just laughed.

He looked indifferent and spoke in an extremely stiff Central Plains dialect.

"Boss Fang, Boss Fang!"

"Are you going to let my men do these things? You brought these Central Plains people with you. They are too stupid and foolish. Asking them to complete this mission is simply ruining our plan."

"My subordinates are all from the Western Regions. If we let them buy Trichosanthes powder, this matter will most likely be exposed. Therefore, the most important thing is to hand this matter over to a smart person, and that is you, Boss Fang."

After hearing this, Boss Fang chuckled.

Then he said indifferently.

"Never mind, they are all my buddies."

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

He had just finished speaking when the man in black took out a few silver bills from his sleeve.

"Boss Fang, this is the reward you deserve."

"Don't let my words hurt the harmony between us. This factor is to temporarily make up for you. Let your people live in the countryside for a while. I'm afraid the capital is not suitable for living during this period."

Boss Fang didn't pay much attention to what he said, but took the banknote directly from him.

When Boss Fang saw that these were two silver notes worth one thousand taels, a smile immediately broke out on his face.
