Chapter 391 Discovery
Looking at the two neatly folded medicine packets in Li Sanniang's palm, Wang, the registrar, had a different opinion of Li Sanniang, the female doctor, for the first time.
Regardless of his own thoughts, Wang Zhubu immediately went to Di Renjie's side and whispered in Di Renjie's ear about the medicine packet that Li Sanniang had mentioned.
After that, Li San Niang had nothing more to do.
Fifteen minutes is not a long time; hesitation will only lead to more trouble.
Those present who could decide what to do were not the kind of people who were indecisive and hesitant.
After listening to Li Sanniang quickly explain the usage and effects of the medicine packet, Di Renjie immediately discussed it with the captain of the Jinwu Guard and decided on the method.
Li San Niang poured out two antidote pills from the small porcelain bottle, gave them to herself and Qiu Xiang, and then handed the bottle over.
This was to confirm that the antidote was not poisonous. The soldier watched as Li San Niang ate it directly before leaving with the small porcelain bottle.
Next, Li Sanniang stood obediently by the roadside and watched the Jinwu Guard soldiers do their thing.
The soldiers were truly obedient. When the squad leader told them to take the pills, they took them without asking any questions.
"...You two go up to the roof and sprinkle some powder in each room;
You two stand at the front door, and you two stand at the back door. Light this medicine packet and throw it in through the window crack.
"Watch my hand gestures. When the time comes, launch a direct, all-out attack. Don't linger; focus on finding your target."
A quarter of an hour later, the people in Qingyuan Spring Village saw the soldiers who had not retreated from the shadows. Little Rabbit said to a woman next to her, "Grab one at random, kill him by the window, and throw the body down."
Let's see if they dare to come in again!
The noble ladies, their hands bound, all sat trembling on the floor; some of the more timid ones were already crying uncontrollably.
Wang Shibalang, however, stared intently at the little rabbit holding the dagger in her hand, looking for an opportunity to fight back.
When the window on the third floor of Qingyuan Spring was opened again, there was no more trembling, crying voice from the little girl. Instead, after the words "Ah, help..." there was a loud "bang," the sound of the little girl being pushed off the third-floor window.
This commotion ignited the fuse for the soldiers' battle against the Temple Gate.
At the captain's signal, soldiers stormed into Qingyuanchun through the roof, back door, and front door, following the pre-arranged plan.
Those who had originally intended to stay and watch the excitement, now seeing that it was a real fight, began to scream and flee.
However, some bolder individuals, like Li San Niang, stood opposite Qing Yuan Chun, watching from a considerable distance.
"They actually managed to break in! I wonder if the person who fell from the building is still alive?"
"That's the third floor, how could anyone still be alive there?"
"Yeah, that's the third floor. They'd probably break their necks if they fell."
"Hey, I've been looking at this for a while now, but I still don't understand what these golden-armored soldiers are doing with their swords and knives?"
Today is the Lantern Festival, there's no curfew, I was finally able to have some fun, what happened?
The murmurs and whispers among the crowd could not possibly affect the life-or-death struggle taking place inside the Qingyuan Spring Pavilion.
Little Rabbit really didn't expect that the people downstairs wouldn't be afraid to offend those officials, since their children were among them!
Holding a short knife, Little Rabbit, who wanted to grab a hostage, suddenly stood up, but her legs were weak. She stumbled and barely managed to lean on the short knife to keep from falling to the ground.
Li San Niang's medicine powder has finally taken effect!
When Wang Shibalang found an opening and saw the man lying on the ground, she scrambled to her feet and tried to get out of the house.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang followed Wang Zhubu into Qingyuan Chun, which was already lit up.
Standing at the back, looking at the dozens of people lying on the ground in front of her, their hands and feet bound, some even with their jaws dislocated, Li Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it's good that the bad guys have been caught."
Hurry up and pack your things, close the case and go home.
Li San Niang's unspoken words went unanswered, because a servant from Prince Xiang's side came running down from the third floor in a panic, saying to everyone, "Your Highness, the princess is not here!"
"What!
How is that possible?
"Keep searching! Tear this building down! How could it not be there?"
It was Di Renjie who was still sharp. He learned from the soldiers that the powder was blown down from the roof on the third floor, which is why the people from the Temple Gate were the first to be affected, while the noble ladies huddled on the floor in the corner were unharmed.
"However, right now all they can do is cry and whine, and they can't explain themselves clearly when asked."
Di Renjie could also imagine that a dozen or so young girls, only thirteen or fourteen years old and inexperienced, would be so frightened by such a kidnapping and abduction, and the fact that someone had been killed, that they would be nothing more than crying and sobbing.
If time is not urgent, one can still go along with these noble ladies, offer them some kind words of comfort, and send a female official forward to ask them questions in a gentle tone. Perhaps one can even obtain some useful clues.
However, the key issue is that time waits for no one!
Di Renjie frowned, his lips pressed tightly together, and he was also a little anxious. In Qingyuanchun, he only found a dozen or so young girls besides Princess Taiping in a room on the third floor.
The entire building was searched at least three times, but not only was Princess Taiping not found, but the dozen or so young men who had disappeared together were also not there.
"I just hope that the people who went to the West Market and those who stayed in Yonglefang will gain something."
"Put it on, and subject them to severe torture!"
Just as the group was looking worried, a soldier followed by Wang Shibalang, who still had a neck injury.
With tear stains on her face, her hair disheveled, and dried blood from a knife wound on her neck, Wang Shibalang appeared before everyone in such an unseemly manner.
"...It's this person. She's their leader. I saw that she was the one giving orders. Zhang Wuniang was also led to the window by her."
Wang Shibalang pointed to the little rabbit placed in the hall, which had been hit by the muscle-softening powder and was now unable to move.
"Where is Taiping? Where did Taiping go? Why isn't she with you?"
The Prince's angry roar interrupted Wang Shibalang from continuing her story.
However, Wang Shibalang was not frightened. She understood that even if she was rescued, she would not survive if she could not find Princess Taiping!
"At that time, this person hit Princess Taiping on the neck, and the princess fainted. Then, people outside the door carried the princess out and took her away."
Then I felt a sharp pain in my neck and passed out. When I woke up, I was already in that room upstairs.
Based on Wang Shibalang's words, Di Renjie suspected that the people from the Temple Gate had not moved Princess Taiping away at all, and that Princess Taiping might be in Yonglefang right now!
Taking advantage of a lull in their conversation, Li Sanniang walked up to the group of about twenty villains who were lined up in two rows by soldiers.
Li San Niang believed that anything done would leave a trace, so she activated her cheat code and scanned each person one by one, starting from the first one above her head.
Sure enough, using X-ray vision, they discovered something under the tongue of this creature called Little Rabbit.
The problem is, how do we communicate this discovery?
