Chapter 168 Cannot be disclosed
"Something that can cover up the stench of corpses and has no smell." Jiang Yunxi thought about it and did not hide it. More than a dozen corpses were found in the house of the former Prince Yu Nan.
With Yu Qingwan's body, this matter will definitely spread in the capital immediately. There is no need for her to hide it, as Liu Qingbai will definitely know it soon.
"What are you looking for this for?" Liu Qingbai asked curiously.
"If you are free, wait for me downstairs and I will tell you later." Jiang Yunxi smiled faintly. She was going to talk to the old lady now.
Liu Qingbai smiled warmly: "I'll wait for you downstairs."
Jiang Yunxi nodded, then gestured to the old woman to lead the way.
The three of them went to the last room in the corridor.
"Please sit down. My name is Meng Po, and I'm the manager here." Meng Po took the lead in sitting down at the round table and gestured for them to sit down as well.
Jiang Shixue: "..."
Hu Xinghua: “…”
How could someone have such a strange name? But since this shop is called Huangquan, it’s normal for the manager to be called Mengpo.
"Meng Po is a good name, and it fits the style of this store." Jiang Yunxi smiled faintly. She knew Meng Po.
Every time before reincarnation, she would go to chat with Meng Po.
When Meng Po saw her, she wanted to leave.
Because she drank Mengpo soup before each reincarnation, she still had memories of her previous life. This made Mengpo doubt her life and worried that there was something wrong with the Mengpo soup.
But other souls who drank Mengpo soup and were reincarnated had no memory of their previous life.
She is the only one who has the memory.
Later, Meng Po became annoyed and didn't want to pay any attention to her.
"Thank you for the compliment, young lady. What you mentioned is now available in Huangquan Shop." Grandma Meng said with a smile on her face.
"Can I have a look at it?" Jiang Yunxi's eyes lit up.
Granny Meng glanced at her and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get it. While you're at it, think carefully about what you can offer to Huang Quan in exchange."
After saying this, she left with her crutches.
After seeing the door close, Jiang Shixue whispered, "I feel like there's something weird going on here."
"I feel the same way. It's so scary, even scarier than the black market in Jiangzhou." Hu Xinghua stuck out her tongue. There is also a black market in Jiangzhou.
She was sold on the black market by her family.
"Don't be afraid, it's just the decoration that's scary." Jiang Yunxi said lightly. She is a member of the Xuanmen sect, so she wouldn't be afraid even if this place was decorated as a haunted house.
But for outsiders, coming here for the first time will definitely make them feel nervous, tense and oppressed.
I have to say that the boss behind Huang Quan is very good at playing psychological tactics.
However, she guessed that the boss must have a background, otherwise why would the royal family allow such a store to exist, even though it was on the black market.
Jiang Yunxi looked around. The room was quite clean and elegant. There were some exotic ornaments and a painting hanging on the wall.
Suddenly, she stood up and walked towards the wall, looking at the painting.
She didn't understand painting, but she could tell that the painting was very well done and must have been created by a famous artist.
Immediately following.
She looked at other things and toured the entire house. When she returned to her seat and sat down, there was a knock on the door.
A woman in exotic clothes walked in with tea in her hand. Her face was heavily made up and her real appearance could not be seen at all.
"Miss, this is the famous tea in our store. Please enjoy it slowly. Meng Po will be here soon." The woman's voice was gentle and sweet.
She poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yunxi and the other two before leaving.
The door of the room is closed.
Jiang Yunxi picked up a cup and smelled it. It was refreshing. She didn't know what kind of tea it was, after all, she didn't drink it very often.
"Is it poisonous?" Jiang Shixue asked cautiously.
"That won't happen." Jiang Yunxi said and drank it directly. It tasted sweet. She didn't know what kind of tea it was, but the water used was definitely not ordinary water.
It should be tea made from the morning dew.
Jiang Shixue also took a sip and motioned Hu Xinghua to try it as well.
A moment.
There was a knock on the door, and then it was pushed open.
Meng Po walked in with a young woman who was holding a small rectangular box inlaid with gems, which looked very delicate.
The woman walked to the table, put the box down and left, not forgetting to close the door when she went out.
"Girl, this is what you want." Meng Po said as she opened the box, took out an exquisite small porcelain bottle from it and pushed it in front of Jiang Yunxi.
Jiang Yunxi picked it up and opened it. It was colorless and odorless, like an ointment that could be applied to the body. "Can this thing really cover up the stench of a corpse?"
"Of course." Meng Po said very confidently.
"You have to try it, otherwise I won't believe it." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
Pah pah pah——
Meng Po clapped her hands three times.
The door of the room opened, and the woman from before came over with a porcelain plate and placed it on the table.
When Jiang Shixue and Hu Xinghua saw the dead mouse, their faces turned pale with fear and they covered their mouths and noses at the same time because it smelled so bad.
"Try it on them." Meng Po looked at the woman and ordered.
"Yes." The woman picked up the porcelain bottle in front of Jiang Yunxi, opened it, dipped some with her fingers, and smeared it on the dead mouse.
After she had applied it all, the stench in the air slowly disappeared.
After the woman finished applying the makeup, she went out.
Meng Po looked at the dead mouse and asked with a smile, "Do you still smell the stench now?"
Jiang Yunxi smelled it carefully and indeed could not smell any strange smell, as if there was no dead mouse in the house at all. He didn't expect that there really was such a magical thing.
It seems that the murderer who killed Yu Qingwan and others came to Huangquan to buy this ointment.
"What is this made of?" she asked.
"I can't tell you this, otherwise it would be sold everywhere." Meng Po said with a smile.
Jiang Yunxi reached out, picked up some and put it to her nose to smell it. Even though she was well versed in pharmacology, she couldn't smell what was in it at this moment.
Maybe a special ingredient was added to cover up all the flavors, and that ingredient is the most important thing about the paste.
But the other party would definitely not tell her.
"I'm not here to buy this today, but I want to find out if anyone in Beijing has bought this. I guess not many people buy it?" Jiang Yunxi stated his purpose directly.
"I can't reveal the customer's information to you. This is the rule of Huangquan." Meng Po's face darkened, and she was obviously unhappy.
She treated her well, but she didn't come to buy anything.
"What if I can give you what you need?" Jiang Yunxi said calmly. Huang Quan is a businessman, and she doesn't believe that they won't reveal it.
"What can you come up with?" Meng Po raised her eyebrows.
"It depends on what you need." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile, she knew that the other party was moved.
Meng Po nodded and said, "Let me think about it. You guys come over tomorrow."
Jiang Yunxi said: "But I need to confirm one thing first."
"What's up?"
"Is this kind of thing only available in Huangquan? Those who have it outside, they all bought it from Huangquan?"
"I can guarantee this. There is nothing in the underworld, and definitely nothing outside." Meng Po said firmly.
