"Master, but what's the problem with this pill?"

Mo Jinyi's initial anger subsided and he spoke in a calm tone.

"Let's wait for Doctor Qiao to come. When you got this pill, didn't you ask someone you trust to check the ingredients?"

Shopkeeper Liu shook his head, his face solemn.

"I have never touched this pill. It has always been in this packaging. And ever since Lord Meng gave it to me, many people in Jinzhou City have coveted it and asked for it. If it weren't for the power behind Yuelai Inn, I'm afraid I would have died countless times."

Mo Jinyi walked to the window holding Mo Sheng. He gently opened the window and suddenly his eyes became sharp, noticing that people from the neighboring buildings were looking at him with more or less scrutiny.

He turned to Shopkeeper Liu and opened his lips slightly in a flirtatious tone.

"Manager Liu, you are really the target of public criticism right now. It seems that some people have been very successful in promoting the value of this elixir."

When Manager Liu heard this, his expression became serious and he suddenly realized what had happened.

"Master, do you mean that these people had planned this?"

Mo Jinyi tapped the window lightly with his fingers. He looked at the half-open windows around him and the defense lines arranged around them.

Courage is really admirable.

"It's just a gift to those of you who have some influence in the underworld, so that they can use you to spread the news and achieve their desired goals."

Mo Sheng was held in Mo Jinyi's arms and happened to see those obvious hidden sentries.

The surrounding area of ​​a room was filled with specially raised crickets, although Mo Sheng didn't know why there were crickets in the March weather.

There are two more conspicuous places. A red line is pulled directly on the roof with a bell tied to it. When someone gets close to it, it will jingle, thus alerting the people in the room.

Mo Sheng really couldn't help but complain.

[Are these professional secret sentries? They are gathering intelligence with their heart intact. We are not blind. They are so obvious. Are they afraid that we don’t know what they are doing?]

[What? Do you want me to pretend I can’t see you and let you guys jump around like crazy in front of me?]

[I don't know who taught this kind of fool. Will he really vomit blood every day?]

Mo Jinyi found Mo Sheng's complaints very funny, and he turned around and motioned for Shopkeeper Liu to come forward.

"Look, your inn is very lively around here, and everyone seems to be paying close attention to it."

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the gazes from all around him and had already gotten used to it.

"My Lord, these are things that my subordinates knew about and deliberately let go. Now they are in the dark and we are in the light. It is always easier to control them by letting some stupid ones in than by letting some smart ones in."

Seeing that Manager Liu had already made his own arrangements, Mo Jinyi nodded and followed him.

"Don't let the boat capsize in the ditch."

Shopkeeper Liu closed the window and bowed to indicate that he would pay attention.

Just as he was about to say something else, Li Desheng happened to walk in with Doctor Qiao, and he swallowed the unfinished words.

"Master, the person has been brought here."

"See Master."

Doctor Qiao was hurriedly pulled here by Li Desheng. Poor Doctor Qiao's old body, he almost vomited on the road due to exhaustion.

He thought that the little princess was sick again or that His Majesty had been assassinated again, but now he saw that both of them were alive and well and nothing happened to them.

I don't know why they called him over in such a hurry.

Mo Jinyi turned around and motioned for Doctor Qiao to look at the scarlet pill on the table.

"Doctor Qiao, come and see what's so special about this pill."

Doctor Qiao walked to the table and took out his homemade sheep intestine gloves from his tool box and put them on.

He picked up the pill with strange color and began to study it.

After a while, he turned around and looked hesitantly at Mo Jinyi who was waiting for his result.

"Master, I wonder who this pill belongs to? Can I cut it open and take a look?"

Mo Jinyi's gaze drifted gently towards Shopkeeper Liu, who hurriedly spoke to Doctor Qiao.

"Sir, this pill was kept by me for your inspection. Please use it as you wish."

Doctor Qiao nodded, took out the tools he needed from the toolbox, and gently cut the pill open.

Revealing the material wrapped in cinnabar, Doctor Qiao picked up half of the pill and smelled it carefully with a serious face.

When Mo Sheng saw this scene, he showed an expression of watching a good show.

[I hope Doctor Qiao can hold on and not leak anything]

Doctor Qiao then put down the pill in his hand, took out a silver needle and stabbed it into the pill. The moment he pulled out the needle, his face changed drastically.

He quickly turned around to look at Mo Jinyi and Manager Liu, holding up the blackened silver needle and showing it to them.

"Master, have you taken this medicine?"

When Mo Jinyi saw that Doctor Qiao had such a serious expression on his face, he knew that he had a legitimate excuse, and he raised his eyebrows.

Said shaking his head.

"Without your permission, Doctor Qiao, I dare not take medicine carelessly. Why is there something wrong with this pill?"

Shopkeeper Liu also quickly waved his hand, indicating that he had not eaten either.

Doctor Qiao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the two men were relatively obedient. He put down the silver needle in his hand, took off his gloves, and washed his hands.

After making sure that there was no problem and that it would not affect the safety of everyone in the room, he bowed to Mo Jinyi and explained.

"Master, I need to go back and carefully check the information to know the ingredients of this medicine.

But just now I smelled a faint smell of blood and some pungent odors."

Doctor Qiao paused and decided to speak directly.

“And judging from the reaction of the silver needle just now, this medicine is somewhat toxic.

Whoever takes this pill will be in trouble. Even if nothing happens in the short term, over time toxins will accumulate in the body and even a great god will be helpless. "

Shopkeeper Liu was shocked. Fortunately, his master and others had not touched him, otherwise he would be to blame. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Master, please forgive me. I deserve death."

Mo Jinyi signaled Li Desheng to help the man up, and he chuckled and spoke.

"Ignorance is innocent. Who would have thought that this elixir, which is so popular, would be poisonous? Get up."

Mo Sheng felt a little sleepy after being shaken by her father and yawned repeatedly.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something interesting.

[Xiao Ba, speaking of this, do you think that the Jinzhou governor and others have consumed so many medicinal pills, will the heavy metals accumulated in their bodies turn their ashes into colorful colors after they die?]

System: [Young Master, what you said is possible, but there is no way to verify it. In ancient times, only those who committed heinous crimes would not be cremated.]

Mo Sheng sighed in disappointment.

[Okay, then it seems there is no way to verify it. It’s a bit unethical.]

Mo Sheng stared at Shopkeeper Liu again, and suddenly spoke to Xiao Ba with interest.

[Xiao Ba, can you see if this Shopkeeper Liu has any gossip to share? I’m really a bit bored.]

Xiao Ba looked at Mo Sheng, who was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.

He sighed helplessly.

System: [My little master, if you are really sleepy, just go to sleep. I don’t know what you are enduring with your eyes open.]

Mo Sheng had a blank expression on his face, and just kept replying randomly after reading the message.

[What are you cooking? Cooking an eagle]
