The bigger inside story in Chapter 166
Dongfang Ying knocked the opium cream from Mingchuan Rongmei's hand into the box and said:
"Since it is a harmful drug, then Just don't touch it! Wait until I take it out and set it on fire."
Mingchuan Rongmei frowned and said:
"No, even though this thing is. Drugs can also be used as medicines. As long as the dosage is reasonable and the usage is correct, it can achieve the effects of analgesia, cough relieving, dysentery, and diarrhea. ”
“It is better to store it as it is and don’t let it go. Just meet people casually, maybe it can cure diseases and save people, and benefit the sick and injured."
Zhan Ruilong didn't believe it:
"No, who doesn't want this opium ointment? You know it's a thing that harms the country and the people, but it can also cure diseases and save people? Mingchuan girl, are you trying to trick us again?"
Mingchuan Rong gave him a white look:
"Bai Chang. I'm a big guy and I don't know anything!"
"Ying'er, just listen to me, keep this box of things first, and then seal this room. No unauthorized entry is allowed."
Dongfang Ying naturally believed in her. She nodded immediately, closed the lid of the box with her feet, and said to Zhan Ruilong and Shi Dajiang:
" Just do what Rong'er wants. Brother Zhan, you and Dajiang go find some iron nails, nail the box and the window, and lock the door."
"When we come back. No one was allowed to enter this room before."
Zhan Ruilong and Shi Dajiang had no choice but to agree and go out to look for nails, hammers and other items.
This house was really dirty. Dongfang Ying and Mingchuan Rongmei didn’t want to stay any longer. They quickly walked out of the room with Kuang Zhiyuan. Dongfang Ying took a breath and suddenly remembered someone and asked:
"By the way, when you entered the temple, did you see the fat cook Xu Rengui? I don't know whether he is dead or alive."
Mingchuan Rongmei shook her head and said:
"I didn't see it. As soon as I came in, I looked around for you and found that the front hall was empty, and there was no one in the middle. There were only a dozen women locked up in the back."
"I thought they all ran away from the back door, so I chased them out the small door on the right first and knocked down two guards. I still didn't see you and the bandit leader, so I shouted your name loudly."
Kuang Zhiyuan also said:
"We searched the temple and found no other bandits. We saw the group of imprisoned women in the back hall, so we released them first and inquired about the temple. The situation of the bandits. "
"According to them, most of the bandits live in the front hall, in the middle are the two bandit leaders and their apprentices, and in the back are they, as well as the kitchen and latrines. Behind..."
When Dongfang Ying heard this, she thought of XuRengui is a cook, will he hide in the kitchen? He immediately said:
"If you want to see someone alive, you will see a corpse if you die. Let's go to the kitchen to see if that guy is hiding in there."
The three of them returned to the back. In the main hall, the girls were sitting in the main hall, chatting happily with the three sisters Lu Qiuying.
Dongfang Ying walked to the wing on the right side of the hall and saw ham, duck and slices of raw meat hanging on the beams. Various green vegetables were placed on the floor. There were two large tables in the middle, built against the outer wall on the right. Two large stoves indicate that this is a kitchen.
However, she and Mingchuan Rongmei glanced at each other and found no sign or scent of anyone in the kitchen.
The two girls were wondering, where did that damn fat man go? Even if Lai Yongshun found out and killed him, the body wouldn't disappear, right?
Immediately, she heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from outside the side door, and Dongfang Ying heard that there were about three people tiptoeing towards the kitchen.
At that moment, she looked at Mingchuan Rongmei and asked her and Kuang Zhiyuan to stay inside, while she dodged and jumped out of the window.
Dongfang Ying rolled on the ground and stood up, just in time to see three people sneakily touching the side door and peeking inside.
And one of the men, with a fat head, big ears and a slim waist, wasn’t the Xu Rengui she was looking for?
He couldn't help but chuckle and shouted:
"Fat Xu, you don't want to live anymore, do you?"
Xu Rengui was startled and turned around immediately Looking at Dongfang Ying, she immediately put on a smile and said:
"Xia Xiangu, don't scare me, I am timid and can't stand the torment..."
"You guys have Didn't you kill Lai Yongshun? Don't let him escape!"
At this time, Mingchuan Rongmei and Kuang Zhiyuan also came out and blocked the three people. Dongfang Ying saw the other two people. They were all strong men in their thirties, with oily faces, and they were obviously cooks, so they said:
"You three are the only bandits on the mountain now. What are you sneaking up on? Do you want to send you to follow us to Yongshun?"
Xu Rengui and the two cooks waved their hands after hearing this. Xu Rengui smiled and said: "No, no, we don't want to do it either. Bandits, the three of us have decided to abandon the dark side and join the light, and serve the female heroes and fairies from now on..."
"Please also ask the female heroes to be merciful and give us this opportunity..."
Then The two cooks also said:
"Yes, we don't want to follow the two bandit leaders Lai Yongshun and Ye Chengfeng to do evil. We are willing to join the heroes and start a new life..."
< p> Dongfang Ying did not expect that these three guys knew each other quite well. From now on, when everyone lives in the mountains, they will inevitably need someone to cook. However, eating and drinking is a big deal, and it is really uneasy to leave it to outsiders.Just thisWhat should we do with these three people? It would definitely not work to let them go, and it would be unbearable to kill them.
She thought about it and had an idea, so she smiled and said:
"Okay, God has good virtues, and I am also a magnanimous heroine. Now that you have If you are determined to abandon the dark side and turn to the light, then I will forget about it and leave you behind. You will continue to work hard in the kitchen from now on. I will not treat you badly."
The three of Xu Rengui were overjoyed and bowed quickly, thanked you again and again, and vowed. From now on, I will definitely go through fire and water for the heroines and cook every meal for the girls and heroes.
Dongfang Ying smiled faintly, changed the subject and said:
"But cooking and eating is a hard job after all, and I really feel sorry for always troublesome you three."
p>
"Let's do this. I'll let the three girls follow you and learn how to cook. When they master the cooking skills, they can take turns or replace you."
"You shouldn't be too stingy and refuse to teach them cooking skills, right?"
Xu Rengui is naturally a sensible person. He knows that Dongfang Ying doesn't trust them after all, so he uses the excuse to let the three girls help them learn cooking. The craftsmanship is actually to monitor them and prevent them from tampering with the food.
At the moment, they expressed their gratitude to the heroine for being considerate and sharing the work with them. Naturally, they would not hide their secrets and would definitely teach the girls how to cook well.
Dongfang Ying nodded, and asked the names of the other two cooks, one named Zhou Hong and the other Li Qing, and then asked:
"Master Xu, what did you do before? How did you win Yongshun's trust? Why did you hide here again?"
Xu Rengui sighed and said:
"To be honest with the heroine, I was strong at the time. I had the guts to trick Lai Yongshun and report to him as the heroine taught me, and even pretended to cry."
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Although the guy who came to Yongshun did not immediately suspect me, he was unwilling to let me go. He asked me to accompany him in the Tianwang Palace and asked me about other things."
< p> "As soon as I saw that something was not going well, I would inevitably get into trouble if I continued to ask questions. Moreover, once you start fighting outside, it would also arouse the suspicion of that old fox Yongshun.""So I came up with a quick idea and said: I haven’t eaten until this morning, and I’m really hungry. Can you give me a bowl of rice first, and then reply?”
“When you come to Yongshun, let me go to the kitchen to prepare food. I’ll run away quickly.” He went to the back kitchen and told the two old brothers that something bad was going on, then took them to hide in the hut and told them about the current situation on the mountain."
"The two old brothers were actually forced. For those in this industry, now that the bandits have reached the end of their rope, why should we follow them to death? We might as well surrender to the heroes and find a new way out."
Dongfang Ying smiled.Said:
"You have made wise choices. What good will come of following the bandits?"
"Master Xu, you have performed well this time and have contributed a lot. It's a reward for you. If you do things sincerely, there will be greater benefits in the future."
He took out a gold bar from the bag on his shoulder and threw it to Xu Rengui.
Xu Rengui hurriedly reached out to catch it, smiling happily, thanking the heroine repeatedly for her kindness, and then asked cautiously:
"By the way, heroine, you said that after everything is done, ..."
After seeing his expression, Dongfang Ying understood what he was going to say, and said to Mingchuan Rongmei:
"Rong'er, give Master Xu a cure. "
Mingchuan Rongmei nodded, took out a small cloth bag from her arms, opened it and pinched a silver needle like ox hair, and said coldly to Xu Rengui:
"Take it. "Stretch out your left hand."
Xu Rengui hurriedly stretched out his left hand. Mingchuan Rongmei pricked his elbow with a silver needle and gently twisted it. Xu Rengui felt a numbness from his arm to his chest and abdomen. I couldn't help but scream "ouch".
Mingchuan Rongmei held his wrist with her other hand to prevent him from struggling. The silver needle stirred for a while, and then he pulled it out suddenly. Xu Rengui's numbness and itching subsided, but he found that the needle hole on his elbow kept popping up. Black-yellow liquid.
Xu Rengui was stunned with fright. Mingchuan Rongmei said calmly:
"Okay, your poison has been cured and you will not have another attack in the future."
Xu Rengui Hearing what she said, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them repeatedly. Zhou Hong and Li Qing were confused, but they didn't know that Dongfang Ying had used "poison" to scare Xu Rengui.
Xu Rengui hurriedly scooped up a ladle of water and washed away the dirt on his arms. He felt that his body felt much better than before, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy.
Dongfang Ying returned to the palace with a few people. Seeing that the girls were still chatting, she said to Wu Xiahe:
"Sister Wu, I'll lend you three people. , okay?"
Wu Xiahe stood up quickly and said:
"You're welcome, Sister Dongfang, you can choose any of the three sisters you want."
Dongfang Ying pointed at Liu Furong, then named two girls who looked smart, and said:
"Then it will be the three of them. Come with me, and I will tell you something. "
Liu Furong and the two girls left the futon and followed Dongfang Ying to the other side of the room, which was a warehouse where rice, flour, oil, salt and other supplies were piled.
Dongfang Ying asked the names of the other two women. They answered that one was Yang Mudan and the other was Ye Haitang. Dongfang Ying said to the three of them:
"Three sisters, I I will give you a task. From now on, the three of you will learn to cook in the kitchen. Of course, this is just a cover. Your main task is to keep an eye on the three chefs.Sister, don’t let them poison the food or anything like that, and make sure the sisters have a worry-free diet. "
"In addition to monitoring them at ordinary times, when each dish is made and served to everyone, you must taste it first to make sure it is safe before serving it to everyone. ”
“Do you understand this task? Can it be done? "
The three girls, Liu Furong and Yang Mudan, Ye Haitang, nodded seriously, saying that they understood and would do a good job.
Dongfang Ying patted their shoulders affectionately. , encouraging them and saying:
"You have done this well, and you don’t need to worry about anything else. Just say that I, Dongfang Ying, asked you to do it. "
"When I come back, I will teach you each a set of sword skills, okay? ”
Although the three girls have never seen Dongfang Ying’s martial arts with their own eyes, they just heard Wu Xiahe talk about many deeds of the white horse and the red scarf, including the fact that the bandits were wiped out this time by this female hero. His masterpiece is something he admires endlessly.
Now that he is being used by her, and he will be taught martial arts in person in the future, his heart is filled with joy and joy.
Dongfang Ying sees everything arranged. When everything was ready, they went with Mingchuan Rongmei and Kuang Zhiyuan to say hello to Zhan Ruilong and Shi Dajiang, asking them to stay on the mountain with peace of mind and help the other women guard the temple.
They were about to go down the mountain and follow them. After Lan Zhixin reunited, they headed towards Songxi County.
At this time, Zhou Hong, one of the three cooks, suddenly ran over and said to Dongfang Ying:
"Xia Xiangu, I am. There is an important situation that I want to report to you. "
Dongfang Ying was slightly startled, glanced at Mingchuan Rongmei and Kuang Zhiyuan, and said calmly:
"What's going on? Just say it, there are no outsiders here. "
Zhou Hong pondered for a moment and said seriously:
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. ”
“Does the heroine know that people like Lai Yongshun are planting poisonous poppies, refining opium cream, colluding with the government, and poisoning the people nearby?” "
Dongfang Ying was secretly surprised, why did poisonous flowers appear again? Is it on Zhanlu Mountain?
She glanced at Kuang Zhiyuan and thought of what he said before The words "not simple" suddenly aroused doubts in his heart, and he stared at Zhou Hong and said:
"You know the inside story of this matter, right? Tell us everything. If it is true, I will be rewarded. "
Zhou Hong came eagerly to flatter Dongfang Ying. He saw Xu Rengui was rewarded with a gold bar, and his eyes and heart beat so enthusiastically.
Hearing Dongfang Ying" There will be a reward." Dang said impromptuly:
"Thank you, heroine. To be honest, Lai Yongshun brought poppy seeds from other places and chose to plant 20 acres of poppy seedlings on the top of Jade Girl Peak in Zhanlu Mountain. ”
“ThisFor several years, thousands of kilograms of poppy fruits were harvested every year, and the opium paste was refined in the main hall. After the opium paste was refined, the second leader, Ye Chengfeng, contacted the opium shop opened by the government and sold it, making several profits every year. Thousand taels of silver. "
"It is really unreasonable. It has made so many people worse off than dead, with their families and families destroyed..."
Dongfang Ying and the other three were shocked and moved when they heard this, and Dongfang Ying was filled with indignation. He asked Zhou Hongdao fiercely:
"You said the bandits colluded with the government to sell opium? Do you know who is in the government? "
Zhou Hong couldn't help but feel a chill on his back when he saw her almond-shaped eyes and her gaze like daggers. However, he still said bravely:
"I heard that the big leader and the second leader mentioned However, among them were the county magistrate and the county magistrate, each of whom opened two or three opium dens. ”
