Gu Yue slept very uneasily that night.

The pain at the site of his broken leg was constant, and it was sore and swollen, leaving him in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. After waking up, the symptoms were even worse.

Everyone here must have had this experience. On the first day of military training, or the first drill after a long vacation, the next day you will definitely feel sore all over, as if you were beaten up. Gu Yue is feeling this way right now.

Well, I had just run a life-threatening marathon the night before, climbed over walls, did parkour, and sniffed a lot of cigarettes. The fact that I was able to get up today was thanks to Gu Dashi's health.

In his old body, he couldn't even run last night.

The sky brightened and Gu Yue sat up with difficulty.

He looked out the window and realized why his legs hurt so much last night.

It was raining heavily outside, and the entire courtyard of the wing was soaked by rain, emitting a special fragrance of soil in the rain.

Weather forecast legs ah this is.

Shi San leaned against the door frame, looking at the rain curtain motionlessly. Wu Feng and Wu Yun were talking on the rain porch in the yard, and Gu Xu was sitting on the side.

Gu Yue was puzzled. Where did they get those clothes? Where were the nightgowns?

His hand touched something in a pile. Gu Yue looked down and saw a set of ordinary coarse cloth clothes on the bedside. A note fell on the ground, which read: "Given by the Taoist priest, go down the mountain after the rain stops."

What a thoughtful thought!

They were riding down the mountain in night clothes in broad daylight. Even a fool could tell that they had done something bad the night before.

Gu Yue endured the pain all over his body and changed his clothes. The nightgown was stuffed into the bag that Wu Yun had packed on the small couch. Gu Yue stretched his body and his bones were creaking.

It’s so uncomfortable. I must practice martial arts well when I go back!

Gu Dashi's body has this foundation. He has been a local gangster for many years, and he is very strong and has good physical strength. He is definitely better than Gu Yue's original fragile body. If he can practice with Wu Feng and others for a few years, he can also experience the feeling of flying over eaves and walls.

Gu Yue was excited for two seconds, then suddenly became depressed.

He had forgotten about the broken leg again.

When you have money, find a good doctor to see him. Forget about curing him completely. Even modern medicine cannot make such a broken leg without any sequelae, let alone ancient medicine. At least let him have a normal body shape, so that he won't be in so much pain after a short period of high-intensity exercise.

Gu Yue gestured and found that his leg seemed a little swollen.

Adrenaline was so strong! He had been so excited last night that he didn't feel any pain at all.

This sentence seems a bit ambiguous...Gu Yue's face turned yellow for a second.

Shi San saw that he woke up and looked into the room.

Gu Yue asked: "How long will this rain last?"

It was just a greeting, he didn't expect Shi San to give a definite answer, Shi San was not a weather forecaster.

But Shi San raised his head, stared at the gray sky for a while, and said, "Half an hour."

Gu Yue also readily accepted it. Every era has its own way of judging the weather.

Gu Yue wanted to go out and take a look, but when he approached the door, he was forced back by the cold air of the rain. The pain in his legs became more severe, Gu Yue sighed, and sat back on the bed to have a good rest.

After instructing Shi San to guard the doors and windows and not let anyone peek, Gu Yue took out the account book he had stolen last night and opened it to have a look.

I didn't see much from a quick glance last night, but now after a careful examination, I realized how much profit Lord Han has made from Jiaoyuan in recent years.

Boss Sun's guess was still conservative. Not only did he not pay the tax according to the local crops, but it was probably the case that the output of the entire pepper garden was not taxed.

Not to mention those banned poisons.

Gu Yue had learned a little about accounting at Hongcheng Restaurant, so it was not difficult for him to summarize it now. From the account book, it can be seen that these poisons were mainly sent to a place called Baoshun Pharmacy, the specific address of which is unknown. The remaining small part was transported to the southeast city, and the recipient was a person. Gu Yue did not have paper at hand, so he temporarily memorized it in his mind.

I just wonder if the guards of Jiaoyuan were alerted last night and whether they would notice that the account books were stolen?

Will you take this opportunity to pull out the crops in the pepper garden?

If we move too slowly, I'm afraid that by the time the time comes, the building will be empty and we will get nothing.

Baoshun Pharmacy...

Gu Yue had never heard of this name. It might be a hidden force that was not mentioned in the original text.

Could this be the property of King Yin?

After all, in the original text, King Yin was the mastermind behind the incident of the Black Gold Paste, and this Baoshun Pharmacy was most likely a place where these poisons were made into Black Gold Paste.

But it’s not right.

Since Lord Han had already started growing poisonous substances and it was easy to make a profit from it, why did the Black Gold Paste not become widely circulated until several years later?

Was the black gold paste just a tool for the struggle for power? Or was it the human nature of the Yin king, who finally abandoned it when he was about to fail?

It is still unclear whether Lord Han is King Yin's man, and Baoshun Pharmacy is not necessarily King Yin's property.

The result is still back to the starting point!

"What did you see?" someone suddenly asked.

Gu Yue looked up and saw that Gu Xu had come in. He stopped Gu Yue from speaking.

"Let's go first. The rain has stopped and we need to get down the mountain as soon as possible." Gu Xu said.

The rain had indeed stopped. Shi San's forecast was quite accurate, and he was only right for about an hour.

The group packed up their luggage, said goodbye to the Taoist priest, then rode their horses back to Yuning Prefecture along the driveway of Taiqing Temple.

The Taoist priest stood at the door for a long time without moving.

A Taoist priest came back carrying firewood and was surprised to see the Taoist priest standing at the door. "Master! When did you come out of retreat? Has the nobleman arrived?"

"...I always have a bad feeling." The Taoist frowned and kept staring in the direction they left.

The sky was gloomy, dark clouds gathered, thunder rumbled, and it was about to rain again.

……

Lord Han's hands were shaking and he dropped the teacup in his hand.

"You, what did you say, someone broke into the Pepper Garden?!" He grabbed the servant's shoulders and roared with a distorted face.

"Yes, yes...the pigeon sent back by the steward cannot be wrong..." the servant said tremblingly, sweating all over.

"Those...those...is there anything missing? What else did the steward say?" Lord Han's voice trembled.

"The manager said nothing was lost...there were only signs of someone rummaging through the warehouse." The servant took out a note and handed it to Lord Han.

Lord Han unfolded it and looked at it. It took him a long time to calm his breathing, and he staggered back a step.

"Okay, okay, fortunately, they didn't find anything..."

Lord Han turned around and said respectfully to the man in front of him who was wrapped in a blue-gray robe: "Sir. It's okay. Those people didn't find anything! That's great..."

"Really? That's great." The man in green robe said, "Such an important place was easily invaded. And those people didn't find anything?"

"Yes, no, I didn't find it..." Lord Han took a step back.

The cloak on the green-robed man moved slightly.

"Lord Han. I always have a bad feeling." he said.

"Sir, it's okay. I'm the most reliable steward. If he said he didn't find anything, then it must be..."

Lord Han's words came to an abrupt end.

The man in green robe slowly withdrew his hand, and the short knife with a trace of blood disappeared back under his robe.

Lord Han opened his eyes wide, and the blood line on his throat became clearer and clearer.

The man in green robe took a step back to avoid the spurting blood.
