Chapter 1869 Being attacked by someone
He did not come forward to save the mayor when he was beaten at the beginning because the mayor deserved to be beaten, and he saved the mayor's life now because he was still useful and could not die.
After hearing Chen Changli's words, the restless people calmed down and stopped beating. This time Chen Changli and Wan Shufang helped Kali Town. Everyone was very grateful and thanked them one after another.
"Thank you all for your kindness, otherwise we would have been kept in the dark by this villain and would have been working like slaves for him our whole lives."
"I'm going to be poisoned again!"
"Thank you very much, benefactors."
Looking at the people bowing to express their gratitude, Harijula felt a little proud. She could protect her people very well. Wan Shufang did not miss this little expression.
After thinking for a while, she pulled Hariju out and said loudly: "Everyone, it is all thanks to your king that we were able to find out the truth and catch the culprit this time."
"She is the king of this place and can protect everyone. The king will suppress the poison of opium for you."
"Thank you, King. May your Majesty be blessed with good fortune and peace!"
After these words, Wan Shufang gave all the credit to Harijula. The people surrendered one after another, knelt down and kowtowed. Looking at Harijula's wide-open eyes, Wan Shufang nodded slightly.
Yanran understood and secretly gave the prescription she had developed to Harjula. The toxicity of opium was difficult to cure, so they could only reduce its effects and allow the person to recover slowly. This was the latest prescription they had developed.
"Thank you."
Harijula thanked her quietly. She understood that Wan Shufang's action was to help her establish prestige in front of the people. As the queen of this grassland, she really needed it. She was extremely grateful to Wan Shufang in her heart.
After arranging people to boil medicine and take care of the people, Harijula came to Wan Shufang specifically to express his gratitude.
"Wan Shufang, this is my most precious piece of jade. I give it to you. Thank you for helping me establish my prestige among the people today."
"I just don't want to get a king without dignity next time." Wan Shufang smiled. Although she said this, she still took the jade pendant, which was regarded as accepting Harijula's thanks.
The two walked to the living room one after the other. Chen Changli was already waiting there. When he saw the two of them, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why are there only two of you? Where is Yanran?"
"I do not know…"
Harijula was a quick-talker. Just as he finished speaking, a figure rushed in from outside the door. The next second, Yanran was standing in front of him. Harijula was so scared that he patted his chest.
"You scared me."
Without caring about comforting Harijula, Yanran looked anxious: "Oh no, Hualien is missing!"
"I've been in contact with Hualien before. She knows about the treasure and seems to be coming for it. There must be something fishy about her disappearance now."
Yanran looked anxious, she had come here just to find out about the treasure. She was already halfway there, and she couldn't let anything unexpected happen, leaving her with nothing.
Seeing Yanran's worry, Wan Shufang walked up to her and said, "It's okay. As long as the person is still in Kali Town, we will definitely find him. Now that Harijula has the support of the people, it will be easier to find him."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Harijula took a deep breath and agreed. Without even having time to eat, he arranged for someone to look for Hualian, and Yanran also went with them to make it easier to identify her.
After staying in Cali Town for a few days, they had not found Hualien yet, but Chen Ping and his two companions arrived first.
Seeing Chen Ping and his group, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were a little surprised. After finally calming down, they asked, "Why did you get here so quickly?"
"Dad, Mom, there is something strange about Yunfang's death!" Chen Hai answered first, seeming to be very thirsty. After he finished speaking, he ran to pour some water and gulped down several gulps.
He had hardly drunk any water on the way here.
Seeing Chen Hai like this, Wan Shufang's eyes flashed with helplessness, and she still cast her gaze towards Chen Ping: "A Ping, what does Ah Hai mean by that?"
"Mom, this is what happened. When the three of us were cleaning up the mess in Fulu Town, we accidentally discovered that Yunfang's death was suspicious. Moreover, before she died, Yunfang admitted that the rumor about the elixir of immortality was spread by her and it did not really exist."
Chen Ping told Wan Shufang what happened later in Fulu Town. The more he spoke, the more serious the expression on Wan Shufang's face became. But as Chen Ping continued his story, she slowly relaxed when she learned that the matter had been resolved.
"The people of Fulu Town have learned the truth, and the matter over there has been basically dealt with. My son has left someone to watch over it, so nothing will happen. That's why I came to Kali Town to look for my parents."
"Dad, Mom, what do you think about the elixir of immortality? Is it true or false?" Chen Tao's eyes were filled with confusion, and he obviously didn't know whether he should believe what Yun Fang said before she died.
Wan Shufang looked at her three sons, put her hands on her forehead, and fell into deep thought. What happened in Fulu Town and Kali Town was all pushed by someone behind the scenes.
As long as the person behind the scenes is not caught, there will be thousands of Fulu Town and Kali Town appearing. With her thoughts swirling, Wan Shufang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whether the elixir of life is real or not, this is all a conspiracy, and we must quickly catch the person behind it."
"Yes, don't worry, Dad and Mom, we are here to help you."
"Okay." Wan Shufang nodded and took Chen Ping and the other two to find Harijula. With more manpower and combined with the information they got from the mayor and Grandma Zhang, they already had some clues.
Harijula sent troops, led by Chen Changli, to investigate the person behind the scenes.
Wan Shufang stayed in the town and worked with Harijula to research an antidote for the people. Three days passed in a flash as they were busy.
Chen Changli led his men to a temple on the mountain north of the town. He walked around the temple and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Although there was no one in the temple, judging from the traces, someone had lived there before, and... had just left not long ago.
"Come here, search the entire temple carefully, don't miss any corner."
"Yes!"
The subordinates took orders and began to search the temple seriously and carefully, not even leaving out a haystack. However, after searching for a long time, they did not find anything. After making sure that nothing was missed, Chen Changli took another look at the temple and finally prepared to leave.
"Maybe that person has already dealt with it in advance..." He thought silently in his heart, and said softly with thin lips: "Let's retreat first and search the surrounding area."
"Yes."
On a dark and windy night, Chen Changli led his men to evacuate, but before they had taken a few steps, a needle shining with silver light broke through the air and shot straight towards Chen Changli's face.
Chen Changli's eyes narrowed, he dodged sideways and stepped on a pile of fallen leaves.
"Chase!"
The subordinates followed the direction of the silver needle, but Chen Changli did not rush to catch the murderer. Instead, he looked strange. He raised his feet, squatted down, and used his hands to push away the fallen leaves.
A jade pendant came into view. Chen Changli picked it up and carefully observed the patterns on it.
