Chapter 408: The Effect of Thorn Grass
"Third brother, fourth brother, quickly search these people's bodies to see if they have any identification or dangerous items."
Upon hearing this, the eyelids of the five people who pretended to be unconscious could not help but twitch.
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai rolled up their sleeves and started working.
"Search this person first. Xiao Yeyang specially drew a portrait of him. Obviously, this person is the leader." Daohua pointed at Eunuch An and said.
Yan Wenkai nodded in agreement. "That's right. Look at this guy, fat and slick. He's obviously used to bullying others. The others are obviously his thugs and bodyguards."
As soon as these words came out, Eunuch An couldn't help but shiver.
The most powerful people in the world are his thugs and bodyguards?
Oh my God, please send some thunder to knock him out!
Then, Eunuch An felt a pair of hands groping his body.
At first, Eunuch An was very calm, but when he felt the hands gradually moving down from his chest, his heart began to lift.
Don't go down any more, don't go down any more
Fortunately, God heard his cry, Yan Wenkai withdrew in time and took out a brocade box from him.
"Big sister, look at what this is?"
Daohua took the brocade box, opened it and saw that it contained a somewhat wilted grass.
Yan Wenkai took a look and was immediately speechless: "These people are not crazy, are they? Putting a piece of broken grass in such a precious brocade box is simply a waste of natural resources."
Daohua rolled her eyes at her fourth brother and said, "Maybe it's some kind of precious medicinal herb."
Yan Wenkai: "How is that possible? I know a lot of medicinal herbs, but I have never seen this one." People who practice martial arts often suffer from injuries, so the academy also teaches martial arts students some knowledge about medicinal herbs.
Daohua took out the grass and looked at it carefully, then pondered: "Why does this grass look so familiar?"
When Wu Ye and his companions heard this, they couldn't help but move. They were about to continue listening, but they were interrupted by a careless voice.
"Oh my, all the grass in this world looks pretty much the same. Isn't it strange that it looks familiar?"
Daohua disagreed, "How are they the same? There's a huge difference."
Yan Wenkai shrugged and said, "I can't tell anyway." He ignored it and continued to search the bodies of other people.
Rice Flower looked at the grass in his hand, frowning and thinking hard. Suddenly, his eyes widened: "I know what kind of grass this is!"
The sound was a bit loud and scared Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai.
Yan Wenkai asked unhappily, "What kind of precious medicinal herbs are these?"
Rice Flower: "It's not a medicinal herb. No, it's a kind of medicinal herb, but it has a more important function than being a medicinal herb."
Yan Wenkai didn't care much: "What's the use?"
Rice Flower: "This grass is called thorn grass. Do you know where it grows?"
Yan Wenkai just looked at Daohua in a cheeky manner, without saying a word, as if he was watching her performance; Yan Wentao, on the other hand, just smiled at Daohua and didn't ask any questions.
Seeing this, Rice Flower was a little bored: "The thorn grass likes to grow on gold mines."
After these words were spoken, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai were stunned for a long time, and the eyes of the five people in the box also moved.
Yan Wentao reacted first: "Big sister, what do you mean?"
Daohua pointed at the five people in the box and said, "I finally understand why Xiao Yeyang wanted to arrest these people and why he didn't let anyone know. They are a group of gold thieves."
These words were so powerful that the five people in the box all twitched their lips.
"Wait, wait." Yan Wenkai reached out and interrupted the rice flowers. "Let me feel it. You said this grass grows where there are gold mines?"
Rice Flower nodded.
Yan Wenkai looked at the five people in the box and asked, "Are they actually looking for gold by holding this grass?"
Daohua nodded again.
Yan Wenkai was silent for a moment, then took the thorn grass from Daohua's hand and asked, "Big sister, are you sure there's a gold mine where this grass grows?"
Daohua was silent for a moment: "I've seen it in a storybook, and it seems to be true."
"Another storybook?!"
Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao were both speechless.
Daohua nodded affirmatively.
Yan Wenkai: "Big sister, don't throw away the books you've read in the future. Keep them for me. I want to read them too."
Yan Wentao: "And me."
Inside the box, Wu Ye and the others were speechless. Weren't they talking about thorn grass? Weren't they talking about gold mines? How did they suddenly get to the storybook?
After a moment, Yan Wentao said, "If these people really came for the gold mine, then this is a big deal."
Daohua nodded: "So, we have to quickly notify Xiao Yeyang to come and get them. These people even dare to attract the attention of the gold mine, what else are they afraid of doing?"
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao with dissatisfaction.
"Third brother, fourth brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if I hadn't arrived in time today, who knows what would have happened to you two. Can you be more calm in the future?"
"Last time, you suffered at the hands of these people. Why are you still so impulsive today? Fortunately, there are only a few of them. If there were more people, we would all be arrested."
Yan Wenkai scratched the back of his head. "Isn't this just because I'm angry? Do you know how despicable this guy is?" He pointed at Wei Qi. "This guy led us into the deep mountains and forests. If Qin Wu Ge hadn't come looking for us, my third brother and I would have died in there. He killed people without leaving any trace."
"Seeing him again, how could we not be jealous? Actually, we weren't impulsive. We just wanted to explore the situation. Who knew we'd be discovered by him just as we climbed up the wall?"
"Since these guys are gold thieves, my third brother and I might as well drag them out and beat them up."
Daohua: "No, you are not officials. Even if they are guilty, you cannot execute them privately."
Listening to the conversation between the three siblings, Wu Ye and the others were speechless again.
He is still a child after all, he just can't grasp the key points when speaking or doing things.
Can you tell me where the thorn grass grows?
Daohua stretched her neck and looked outside. "We'll soon reach Taohua Village. As soon as we get there, I'll send a pigeon message to Xiao Yeyang."
Yan Wenkai looked at Daohua: "Big sister, how come you can still send pigeons to communicate with the little prince?" None of them had such treatment.
Daohua said calmly, "That was left by Xiao Yeyang for my master and Granny Gu. I'll use it for now." She picked up the thorn grass again and said, "Third brother, fourth brother, these people came to Ningmen Mansion with the thorn grass. Do you think the gold mine they're looking for is in Ningmen Mansion?"
Yan Wenkai frowned and said with some disbelief, "If Ningmen Prefecture really had a gold mine, how could the people here be so poor?"
Daohua rolled her eyes at him. "The gold mine belongs to the imperial court, not the people." She paused, "But it doesn't look like there's a gold mine. If there really were one, Ningmen Prefecture wouldn't have such a low status among the fifteen prefectures in Zhongzhou Province, and our father wouldn't have become the prefect here. So..."
"If Ningmen Prefecture really has a gold mine, it should be an unknown gold mine, at least the imperial court doesn't know about it."
After hearing this, the five people who pretended to be unconscious couldn't help but say hello.
This girl from the Yan family is first-rate in her ability to discern the big picture from small details.
Yan Wenkai suddenly turned and fiercely kicked the box where Eunuch An and the other two were sitting. "These damned parasites! Wars are breaking out frequently on the northern border, and many soldiers don't even have weapons or warm clothes, yet they're trying to steal from the national treasury from the rear."
