Chapter 447: The Powder Was Stolen
The next morning, a young man's panicked voice came into the Third Elder's courtyard: "Great Elder, it's bad, something big has happened!"
The first and third elders who were drinking tea stopped holding their tea bowls. At the gate of the courtyard, the lion tribe leader, sweating profusely, rushed in hurriedly.
After the routine ten-day meeting yesterday, the Great Elder requested all clan leaders to go back and personally check the registration books for all the people and objects within their jurisdiction, especially the treasures such as herbs and pills.
When he said this, his gaze deliberately lingered for a few moments on the four new chiefs of the Lion, Leopard, Fox and Rat tribes, and the meaning of the flash in his eyes was self-evident.
The tribes have gone through hundreds of years, and each tribe has its own long history. There must be quite a few treasures passed down by their ancestors.
In the long-prepared war that broke out with the Haoyue Dynasty last year, in addition to the four tribes of lion, leopard, fox and rat that were directly involved, it was inevitable that there were people from other tribes who took advantage of the situation and made secret moves.
If those things accidentally leak out and are taken away by someone with ulterior motives, it will be an unimaginable disaster.
At this moment, looking at the Lion Clan Chief who came hurriedly, the hearts of the First Elder and the Third Elder seemed to be grabbed by a big hand, and a wave of panic suddenly surged up.
Could something really have happened?
He took a deep breath, suppressed the sudden panic in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened? Tell me slowly."
The Lion Clan leader no longer cared about any family scandal at this point. If this matter was not handled properly, their entire tribe might be expelled and removed from the tribe.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel my scalp tingling. Although I had cursed my father and brother thousands of times in my heart, at this moment, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and clean up their mess.
"After returning to the tribe after the meeting yesterday, I took the old housekeeper and the nanny in charge of the storehouse, and checked the books, starting with the storehouse, one by one."
"As a result, when I was counting the herbs this morning, I found..."
At this point, the lion leader's eyes went dark. He was extremely nervous and hadn't slept all night. His body, which had reached its limit, began to shake.
The nanny standing next to the third elder saw that something was wrong, and hurried forward to help him sit on a chair and poured him a bowl of tea.
After half a cup of tea, the lion tribe leader finally came to his senses. He nodded to thank the nanny before continuing.
"When counting the herbs, I found that a bottle of powdered medicine was missing."
The first and third elders were already worried, and their faces turned pale as they looked at each other. The third elder asked anxiously, "What is the function of this bottle of powder? Explain clearly."
Please don't use lethal powder, please don't...
Apparently, God did not hear their prayers, as the next words of the Lion Chief shattered their hopes.
"The effects recorded in the account book are: hallucination, loss of mind, and..."
After gritting his teeth, he finally said the second half of the sentence: "It's contagious."
Hearing this, the Third Elder, who was well-versed in herbs, opened his eyes wide in horror, his upper and lower teeth couldn't help but tremble, and a series of crunching sounds came from his mouth.
"Third Elder!" the nanny exclaimed and quickly stretched out her right hand. She pinched her cheeks with her thumb and other four fingers, forcing her to open her mouth.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and took action in time, otherwise the Third Elder’s tongue might have been in danger.
"Third sister, third sister, come on, come on, breathe in slowly, yes, breathe out."
"Again, breathe in, breathe out."
......
After several cycles, the pale-faced Third Elder finally let out a long sigh of relief with the help of the First Elder and the Nanny, and recovered.
The Third Elder slowly opened his eyes and shook his head gently at the worried Madam. He then glanced at the uneasy Lion Clan Chief and asked, "Are you sure the powder is really lost?"
Although I hate to admit it, but...
"I checked with the old housekeeper and the nanny in charge of guarding for the whole night."
"Do you know who took it? Where is it now?"
The chief of the lion tribe shook his head with despair. During that time, he and his father were drugged and were bedridden and unconscious.
Everyone in the entire Yin Kingdom Palace was in danger, and for a while there was really no way to investigate. This was the most fatal thing.
The Third Elder finally turned his head to the First Elder who looked ashen, "Brother, you must find out the whereabouts of that bottle of medicine powder, at any cost."
The Shenxingsi is particularly lively today, which has never happened before in history.
Shenxingsi, as the name suggests, is the place where the tribesmen who have made mistakes pay for their past mistakes and atone for their sins. It is also a place isolated from the world and there is no way back.
As long as you approach the Shenxingsi, it means that the rest of your life will be spent in this place guarded by soldiers and surrounded by high walls.
Even if it dies, it will only be fertilizer under a tree or in a field.
But today, a precedent has been set here.
It was still dark, and the sun was obscured by the surging black clouds. Only a chaotic dark halo shone from behind the thick clouds. The wind was shaking the tall treetops, making a huge and slow rustling sound, like a desert-like sea of trees moving overhead.
A group of people walked along a winding path and arrived at the gate of Shenxingsi.
Like the rising sun that was about to break through the thick clouds, it broke the dead silence of Shenxingsi and illuminated the numb faces of the people here.
The three elders of the tribe were in front, followed closely by the patriarchs of each tribe.
The managers of the Shenxing Division, who had received the news, had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Seeing this scene with my own eyes, I couldn't help but be shocked. I didn't know which god had alarmed the Shenxing Division, which had always been ignored, and had caused the big figures in the tribe to show up frequently recently.
First, last year, three elders came in person with gifts from the Holy Maiden and took away a female relative who had made a mistake, breaking the tradition of only having people coming in but not leaving since the establishment of the Shenxing Division.
Next came the tiger tribe leader and the bear tribe chief, who humbled themselves and moved in.
Before they could come to their senses, all the powerful people in the tribe came together, which made the managers break out in cold sweats.
Seeing the elders leading the way down the carriage, the chief steward of the Prudent Acts wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly ran over to greet them: "I am Li Si, the steward of the Prudent Acts. I am honored to meet the three elders and leaders."
The Great Elder's gaze passed over the faces of Li Si and several managers standing behind him, and looked at the faces of the prisoners who were standing neatly in the yard.
The former eldest prince of the Yin Kingdom and the three chiefs of the leopard, fox and mouse tribes stood at the front of the team.
The faces of several people have long lost their former vigor and vitality. Due to long-term hard work and malnutrition, their bodies have become thin and their faces are weathered.
A hint of excitement flashed in Chaos' eyes the moment he saw the three elders.
Here, they truly experienced what equality meant. Everyone worked equally, ate the same food, and received the same whippings.
Even with the instructions of certain people, they would occasionally be given some special "care".
The children standing behind them did not have as good self-control as the adults. They did not understand what they had done wrong to be locked up here.
When he saw his long-lost relatives from the tribe, he started shouting.
"Grandpa Elder, Grandpa Elder."
"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, are you here to save me?"
"Uncle, uncle, save me, save me, wuwuwu..."
......
A child cried out, and everyone started crying.
There were children, women, old people, men, and even the eldest prince, the three chiefs of the leopard, fox, and mouse tribes, all had tears in their eyes.
The sound of a whip hitting the ground was followed by the loud rebuke from the manager of the Prudence Department: "Why are you making so much noise? You are disturbing the masters. Watch out for your lives!"
"Woooooooo..."
"Cry, cry, cry. Who dares to cry?"
As the whip hit the little boy closest to the manager, the children opened their eyes wide in fear and covered their mouths tightly, not daring to cry out anymore.
This situation is like hell on earth!
Seeing this, the elders and clan leaders could only sigh helplessly in their hearts. Then they thought about the purpose of their trip, and wondered how many people could seize this opportunity to change their fate.
