Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2044 Falling off the bed

Seeing the smoke, Wan Shufang frowned, and quickly gave the pill to Chen Changli, and then took the pill herself.

Then, Chen Changli lay on the bed and she hid behind the door. Not long after, she saw a stealthy fat figure sneaking in.

Niu Jinzhi climbed onto the bed and tried to sit on Chen Changli.

"Niu Jinzhi, what are you doing?"

The cold female voice did not contain a trace of warmth in the dark night. At this moment, Niu Jinzhi had not even climbed one foot onto the bed, but she was frightened and rolled down with a grunt.

Chen Changli also sat up instantly, and the fire in the room lit up again. Seeing that Niu Jinzhi wanted to escape, Wan Shufang directly sealed the acupuncture points with silver needles.

"Niu Jinzhi, tell me what you want to do, or what you have done before. If you don't tell me, I will kill you for the sake of the people."

As she spoke, she turned a silver needle and pierced it into the painful point. Niu Jinzhi wanted to scream instantly, but the mute point was also blocked. She screamed but could not make any sound. She could only sweat coldly from the pain.

"Don't worry, if I want you to die, your father won't hear your screams all night."

Hearing this, Niu Jinzhi was completely frightened. She nodded with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of sincerity. Knowing that she had given in, Wan Shufang took out the silver needle from the mute point.

"Tell me, why do you take yang to replenish yin?"

The four words "taking yang to replenish yin" completely crushed Niu Jinzhi's desire to lie. She looked at Wan Shufang in shock, not expecting that the other party even knew this.

“I…I…” Niu Jinzhi stammered. Under the gaze of the two, her psychological defenses finally collapsed and she burst into tears in an instant: “I didn’t want this to happen, but my father forced me to take yang to replenish yin, and I couldn’t resist.”

After hearing this, Wan Shufang was immediately surprised. She grabbed Niu Jinzhi's hand and felt her pulse, only to see a scar on her hand from cutting her wrist.

She frowned, and after a moment she let go of her hand and turned to look at Chen Changli: "There is indeed something wrong with her body, that's why she is like this."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Your obesity is caused by poisoning. There is residual poison in your body. Taking yang to replenish yin will produce a strong poison, so those men were killed by you." Wan Shufang said lightly, and saw Niu Jinzhi with a dejected face, slumped on the ground.

He kept muttering "impossible" to himself.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were also very confused. What was the county magistrate's purpose in hooking up with his own daughter?

But they didn't know all this now. Seeing Niu Jinzhi's absent-minded look, Wan Shufang took out a pill and forced it into her mouth.

"This is poison. If you try to tell anyone about what happened today, you will die from the poison. So, keep your mouth shut. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Niu Jinzhi covered her throat, thought about what she had just swallowed, and nodded tremblingly.

She fled from the room as if escaping, and the night fell into silence again.

Noon the next day.

When the county magistrate sent someone to the courtyard to invite them to have a meal, a plan came to Chen Changli and Wan Shufang's mind, and they both decided to test the county magistrate.

At the dinner table, Wan Shufang pretended to be careless and said as she picked up some food for Chen Changli: "Mr. County Magistrate, I was walking around the street a few days ago and heard people talking about the Black Water Gang. What kind of gang is this?"

As soon as the word "Black Water Gang" came out, the county magistrate's face suddenly changed. He was so scared that his chopsticks fell to the ground with a clang. Receiving the two people's puzzled eyes, the county magistrate pretended to be calm and pulled his lips: "I don't know about this either."

"It could be some unknown sect, a self-proclaimed bandit sect, and the people are just joking."

"I see. I thought it was some powerful gang. I want to go check it out."

As she spoke, Wan Shufang looked at him deeply. Ignoring the county magistrate's nervousness, she continued to eat quietly. During the meal, everyone at the table had different thoughts and none of them enjoyed the food to their heart's content.

That night, after everyone in the county magistrate's mansion had gone to bed, Wan Shufang sneaked into the study in the front yard. This was the county magistrate's study, and it was a little different from Niu Jinzhi's place.

She searched around and suddenly found a secret compartment, which she pushed open carefully.

"found it!"

When Wan Shufang saw the account book inside, her eyes lit up and she reached out to take it out. But as soon as she opened it, her face became solemn.

The account book was filled with the young man's birth date and eight characters, with the number of harvested or not marked at the back. In the secret compartment, there was also a bowl of blood-colored pills.

Wan Shufang smelled the pill, and a blood-red color rushed to her nose. She suddenly realized something and frowned, "So that's how it is. We really underestimated this county magistrate."

Combining the birth date account book with the blood-colored elixir, and adding what Niu Jinzhi said, Wan Shufang was able to guess most of the facts about the matter.

The county magistrate was using his daughter Niu Jinzhi's physique to absorb the essence of men and refine some kind of evil elixir. Those dead members of the Black Water Gang were most likely killed by Niu Jinzhi.

"Could this medicine be some kind of elixir of immortality?" Wan Shufang curled the corners of her mouth, hesitating whether to take a few pills away for research.

But she was worried about alerting the enemy, so she finally put the things back, closed the secret compartment again, and restored everything to its original state before she returned to her yard.

As soon as she returned to the room, she was hugged by Chen Changli. He put his chin on her shoulder and said in a muffled voice: "Shufang, where have you been?"

"Go to the county magistrate's study and see if you can find anything."

Hearing this, Chen Changli became anxious for a moment, holding her face and said seriously: "How can you go alone? If you encounter danger, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Wan Shufang covered his mouth with her hand. She pulled him to sit down and said, "Changli, I'm fine. Besides, I still have space. I know how to hide when something goes wrong. Listen to me first. I found something big."

"There is an account book in the county magistrate's study..." Wan Shufang spoke slowly and told Chen Changli everything she saw in the study and her own guesses.

"He is simply taking human life lightly. He will do anything to get those evil pills."

Wan Shufang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, her little face slightly red, and she picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Chen Changli was not much better, his face became serious: "Since he dared to do this, he must have a way out. Before we find out the truth, we can't do anything to him."

"That's why I'm angry." Wan Shufang sighed, her eyes full of indignation, but was suddenly hugged by Chen Changli. Even though he was angry, he did not forget to comfort Wan Shufang.

His big hand gently stroked her back, and his tone was gentle: "Rest first, we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

The night is getting darker.

As day and night alternated, the sky began to turn pale, and the county magistrate entered his study early in the morning to check his hard work.

This is his daily habit.

But this time, he found that the things had been tampered with, and his expression suddenly became angry.

"Somebody come!"

"Sir." The servant ran in quickly and saluted respectfully, but the county magistrate said nothing and slapped him hard in the face.

"Who came into my study and messed with my things?"
