Chapter 273 Black Stone Village (Part 2)
After having a full meal, Jiang Zhiluo started to get busy in the afternoon.
She had to quickly prepare all the herbs into medicine.
Cui Qingci seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, sister-in-law, do you want to continue soaking the mung beans we soaked last night?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiluo remembered that she was still soaking mung beans.
"It's already soaked. Wash the mung beans, grind them with a stone mill... and then filter them..."
"After filtering it with gauze, let it sit and you can make mung bean powder tomorrow."
I was planning to make mung bean jelly tonight, but it looks like it’s a little too late.
For more than a month, Cui Qingci has been learning how to cook from Jiang Zhiluo. Whenever Jiang Zhiluo tells her how to do it, she understands it immediately.
She knows everything, including how to filter.
"Sister-in-law, I get it. It's just like making kudzu root powder."
"But this one uses a millstone!"
Cui Qingci had used a stone mill before, so she naturally knew how to grind things.
Besides, with Old Madam Cui helping her, Jiang Zhiluo doesn't have to worry about these things.
She went to an empty guest room and fiddled with her herbs.
She also has a complete set of tools, including special tools for pounding and grinding medicine.
Jiang Zhiluo was busy until the evening and didn't even have time to eat. She prepared packets of medicine.
She plans to do something in the evening.
So I ate dinner, washed up and went to bed at night.
After Jiang Zhiluo lay down, she actually didn't feel sleepy.
But she didn't want to make Cui Hejin worry, so she just lay there quietly, waiting for Cui Hejin to fall asleep.
After a long time, Jiang Zhiluo felt that Cui Hejin should be asleep, so she quietly got up.
Jiang Zhiluo watched Cui Hejin fall asleep, then slowly got up.
Go down quietly.
Then he quietly walked out of the room.
She went to the guest room next door, got fully armed, and then set off.
However, Jiang Zhiluo did not notice that there was a figure standing on the roof of the house at this time, standing against the wind like the autumn sky.
Cui Hejin hadn't slept at all.
He still knew very well whether his wife was asleep or not.
Every time he heard her shallow breathing, he knew she was asleep, and he could fall asleep peacefully.
But that didn't happen tonight.
Cui Hejin was thinking about what happened in the morning and couldn't sleep.
So when she got up in the middle of the night, Cui Hejin naturally knew.
But he didn't want to disturb her.
He supported what she wanted to do, and pretended not to know when she didn't want others to know.
Cui Hejin hid his own aura, so Jiang Zhiluo didn't notice anything.
Jiang Zhiluo walked quickly in the dark, heading towards the direction of the former Black Stone Village.
She also knew the direction of Black Stone Village.
In the early morning, Jiang Zhiluo arrived at Heishi Village.
This is a steep and dangerous mountain range at the westernmost part of the town.
If Jiang Zhiluo didn't have the wood-related ability, it would take some effort to get here.
At this time, everyone in Heishi Village was asleep except for the person who was on guard.
A few people who were taking a break found a place to sit and yawned repeatedly.
"As for me, this place is remote and steep. Most people don't come here, so there's no need for patrols."
"We'll patrol if our superiors tell us to."
"Now, let's talk about the big boss. Don't let anyone doubt it."
"No one can come to this place, don't worry!"
"Really? It's so hot, and we wanted to sleep inside, but we have to come out and feed the mosquitoes."
"Just be patient. After those untouchables have collected the food, we will have completed our mission by stealing it. We will be rewarded when we return. Besides, our mission is not dangerous. Those untouchables are too weak to fight us."
"Haha, the higher-ups still have a solution. The untouchables are most afraid of bandits. We can pretend to be bandits. When their food is stolen, they dare not resist. Then we can kill them all if we don't like them."
"Yes, and we can also put the blame on Prince Duan's people."
"The Jian family has offended someone and is now under control. In the entire county, no one can stop us from doing anything..."
"The food we recovered this time is enough for us to eat for the next few days, so there's no need to worry."
"Besides, Xigu Village is well hidden. Even after the fire, no one knew what happened in their village."
These people are very dissatisfied with being patrolled outside and feeding mosquitoes, so they say these words, and their words and actions show that they do not take human lives seriously.
They were eager to seize the food and planned to transport it by water.
Not only did they intend to rob food, they also wanted to kill people and frame Prince Duan.
It really is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
Unfortunately, Jiang Zhiluo will not let such people live.
Jiang Zhiluo sprinkled some medicine, and they breathed it in with the wind.
“Knock, knock…”
After these people fell down, Jiang Zhiluo went up and tied them up, then gave one of them the antidote, asked them questions about the Black Stone Village, and after learning some information, she stabbed them all a few more times to make sure they were all dead before entering the village.
This was originally an abandoned village and no one had come here for a long time.
I didn't expect that the eldest prince's men would use it as a stronghold and hide more than a hundred people.
Jiang Zhiluo used the wood-related ability to hide her own breath and entered quietly.
She had seen the skills of the four assassins and naturally understood that the people sent by the eldest prince were no ordinary people.
Maybe there are some experts in the village.
So she kept hiding.
The terrain of the mountain stronghold is difficult to explore and is very complicated.
Jiang Zhiluo quietly investigated the situation.
I saw some food piled up in some places. The sacks were different and some of them had blood stains on them.
It can be seen that these people robbed the food.
It is not known how many people were injured.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the sacks and knew that they were the sacks that farmers used to use to store grain.
Most of them are woven with hemp rope, and some are woven rather roughly.
When Jiang Zhiluo thought about the hard-working farmers being killed by these people, she
Most people were asleep.
And even though it is summer, there is still wind in the middle of the night.
Especially in places like the mountains, there is a lot of wind.
Jiang Zhiluo concentrated her expression, quietly found the residence of the so-called boss, and released the prepared poison.
She had also prepared some drugs to induce aphrodisiac.
She thought that if these people's crimes were not punishable by death, she would at most use drugs.
Who would have thought these people were so cruel and ruthless.
If these people are not dealt with, who knows how many innocent people will be killed.
Murderous intent welled up in Jiang Zhiluo's eyes.
No wonder when I arrived, there was no one in the village with more than ten households at the foot of the mountain. The village seemed to have been burned down by a fire.
It turned out that these people were the ones who did it.
Jiang Zhiluo released the poison silently.
In the silent night, these cruel people died quietly in their sleep, and no one knew about it.
But there are also people who are alert.
“There’s poison!”
"Everyone, get up! Get up!"
Someone in Heishi Village started beating drums and gongs.
But only a dozen or so people ran out of the house.
"Who dares to poison me?"
"Here, it's here!"
The boss ran out wearing armor.
He held a huge scimitar in his hand and slashed towards Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo could even feel the powerful internal energy emanating from this man.
It looks like he is a master!
There was also a gloomy woman next to her, hiding in the darkness, holding a long whip in her hand.
