Apprentice B, who sold fake medicine, was hiding in a small shabby house in the wilderness, counting money.

Apprentice A suddenly rushed in through the door, stammering, "Something happened... something happened... something happened..."

Apprentice B angrily scolded: "Can you please stop saying unlucky things all the time? What are you barking like a dog for?"

"Someone's dead!" Apprentice A, with a terrified look on his face, pressed Apprentice B's shoulders and shook him hard.

Apprentice B pushed him away and said, "People die, so they die. There are always deaths in this world! Who is dead?"

"The people who took our medicine died! Now the Thousand Rock Army is scattered throughout Liyue, threatening to capture the two of us within a day!"

Apprentice A's pupils trembled, and his voice trembled: "This is Liyue, a country that values ​​​​"contracts" the most. Not only did we commit fraud, but we also killed people. If we are caught, our lives will be in danger!"

At this point, Apprentice B finally understood what had happened. He hurriedly threw the money into the box and walked around in circles.

"Let's go! We have to leave quickly! As long as we leave Liyue, the Thousand Rocks Army will be unable to do anything to us."

Apprentice A reminded: "What should we do with the medicine? We can't run fast with all these medicines, but if we leave them behind, they will be a disaster sooner or later and may become evidence."

Apprentice B answered simply: "Then pour it all into the river and destroy all the evidence. Then they won't be able to find any of it!"

The two looked at each other and nodded, as if they both agreed with the idea, and then took action immediately. They wrapped Mora in cloth, pushed the cart containing the fake medicine, and ran all the way to the river.

He dumped the pills into the water without restraint and even burned the cart stained with drug powder cleanly before escaping towards Chenyu Valley with peace of mind.

After receiving the report from Ye Luo and his group, the Qianyan Army launched a carpet search across the entire Liyue. Every conceivable corner of the mountains and fields was filled with the Qianyan Army.

Ye Luo and others were also in the search team, but after searching for six hours, they could not find any trace.

It was not until the group arrived at the junction of "Minlin" and "Chenyu Valley·Nanling" in the northwest of Liyue, and the big river at the intersection of "Huaguanglin" and "Xuanlian Mountain" that they found a few clues.

These are the two apprentices who were selling fake medicines. They dumped the fake medicines into the river recklessly, and the burnt cart was also thrown beside the river.

Bai Zhu was the first to discover the problem, because the color of the river was clearly slightly different from before.

Seeing Bai Zhu squatting by the river for a long time, Ye Luo felt strange and asked, "Mr. Bai, you have been staring at this river for a long time. Is there any problem?"

Bai Zhu picked up a handful of wet soil from the river, put it next to his nose and sniffed it, then immediately frowned and looked solemn.

"Oh no! It's too late!" Bai Zhu stood up suddenly.

Ye Luo was shocked: "Too late? What do you mean too late?"

Bai Zhu explained: "Those two guys poured the fake medicine they made into the river, but the medicine they made was poisonous. So the people living near the river who depend on the water for their livelihood..."

Ye Luo's eyes widened immediately: "Will they be poisoned?"

Bai Zhu shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't studied the ingredients of their new medicine, nor do I know how much medicine to use. I only know that fake medicine dissolved in water will definitely have a significant impact on the people downstream."

Ye Luo was so angry that his teeth itched: "Damn it! Damn it!"

Bai Shu sighed, "I'm worried. I have to go to the downstream to take a look. If the people there are really poisoned, the sooner I get there, the more likely they will be saved."

Ye Luo made a prompt decision: "I support you, I will go with you."

Bai Zhu smiled, put his hand on his chest, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Ye Luo, thank you for your trust along the way..."

Ye Luo said respectfully: "Mr. Bai, you are too polite. I admire your kindness as a doctor. If I call you a hero, it is no less than that."

Walnut walked up to the two and interrupted them, saying, "You two, stop bragging to each other. Since we are going downstream, let's set off right away."

The three of them smiled at each other, left the main force of the Qianyan Army, and headed downstream along the river alone.

"Where is Mr. Zhongli?" Ye Luo asked.

"I asked him to go back to the Wangsheng Hall first. There are already enough people responsible for the investigation and the search. The Wangsheng Hall can't be closed forever."

"The Hall Master must have made a lot of money from this deal at Qingce Manor."

"I felt pity for the old man who died innocently, so I only charged a basic fee for the ceremony and waived most of the fees. I can't help it, because this hall master is so kind."

On the high slope, Zhongli stood proudly with his arms folded, looking down at the three people who were rushing downstream.

In a moment, Xiao appeared behind Zhongli.

"Emperor, I'm here."

"General Jinpeng, are you okay?"

Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Please rest assured, my karmic obstacles have been eliminated. I can control it..."

Zhongli turned around and looked at him: "Thank you for your hard work in recent days, but I still have something that I need your help with."

Xiao paused and said, "Just give your orders, my Lord. Why do you have to do this..."

Zhongli nodded: "Those two people are hiding deep in the mountains. The Thousand Rocks Army's movement will only make them hide deeper and more difficult to find."

"They must be hiding at the foot of Xuanlian Mountain. There is a village there, and that is where Hall Master Hu and his party are heading to."

Xiao immediately understood: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will secretly protect the safety of Master Hu and his group, and by the way, I will arrest those two criminals."

After saying this, Xiao disappeared again in an instant.

Zhongli looked down the mountain, took one last look at Ye Luo's back, and turned away...

Under the high slope...

Ye Luo sighed: "Sure enough, the further downstream we go, the weirder the color of the water becomes..."

Bai Zhu estimated: "Looking at the changes in the river water, the powder melted in the water and settled for several hours. They probably fled here in the middle of the night, burned the cart, and spilled all the medicine into the river in an attempt to destroy the evidence."

Ye Luo couldn't help but curse: "Vicious! Not only is he insidious and meticulous, but he also doesn't do his job properly!"

Bai Shu shook his head: "If they were really meticulous, they should have been more rigorous and not let us see the clues. In my opinion, they think they are desperate and panicked, so they took these actions."

"Let me ask you, a group of frightened criminals, do they still have the ability to resist?"

Ye Luo and Hu Tao both nodded: "Well said, that's right!"
