The grass in the factory should be plucked

Xu Dangtou and several factory guards were interrogating two eunuchs and tracking down Madam Gong's spies in the palace.

A eunuch was being tortured with a branding iron. The red-hot iron was pressed against his chest, and his flesh was instantly burnt, making a sizzling sound.

Another one was stripped of his clothes, his hands and feet were locked on a torture bench, his back facing up, and a factory guard was brushing the skin on his back with an iron brush. Every time he brushed, a large piece of flesh was scraped off!

At this time, the eunuch's back was covered in blood and flesh, and the white bones were vaguely visible.

Jiang Li had never seen such a tragic scene before. His face turned pale and his hands and feet trembled slightly.

"Boss, why are you here?"

Xu Dangtou quickly moved a chair and asked Xie Changan to sit down.

He looked at Jiang Li worriedly. She was bringing a new girl with her. Wouldn't this girl faint from fright on the spot?

Xie Changan lifted his shirt and sat down, Jiang Li stood behind him with his hands behind his back.

She took a deep breath and used her spiritual sense to temporarily close her eyes, ears, and nose, so that she could not see, hear, or smell anything.

In the eyes of others, she just stood there with a stern face, expressionless and extremely calm.

Xu Dangtou couldn't help but praise: "The little girl is quite courageous, not bad!"

An unknown amount of time had passed before Jiang Li felt Xie Changan poking her with his finger. She quickly withdrew her spiritual consciousness and recovered her five senses.

At this time, the two eunuchs had fainted, and the factory guards took a bucket of cold water and poured it on them.

"Are you scared silly?" Xie Changan looked at her with a smile.

"How could that be possible?" Jiang Li said with a wry smile, "I saw that they were about to die, so I silently recited a scripture for them to be liberated."

Xu Dangtou and the others were speechless. Who can be more cruel than you? The man isn't dead yet, and they're already reciting scriptures for his salvation.

Xie Changan didn't know what she was up to, probably some weird tricks again, so he didn't expose her, stood up and said calmly, "Let's go."

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. Does this mean he’s passed the test?

When I came out of the basement, the moon was already high in the sky.

In the yard, the few white flowers exude a unique fragrance and seem to be about to bloom.

Jiang Li suddenly remembered something and his face changed drastically: "Burn these flowers quickly!"

Xie Changan narrowed his eyes coldly: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Li remembered that the little white cat once mentioned that there was a strange flower in the imperial concubine's palace with an extremely large bud. Every day, the palace nanny would water it with soup made from Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.

"There is also a flower like this in the Imperial Concubine's Palace!"

Xie Changan frowned and said, "We didn't find it when we searched Yuhua Palace that day."

Jiang Li asked: "Did you find a large amount of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in the Imperial Concubine's Palace?"

"This one is in Madam Gong's room. Isn't it used for health care?"

Xie Changan asked in surprise, what is the connection between Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng and that strange flower?

"Those Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng are used to feed this flower!"

"No wonder Cuixiang Pavilion also discovered a large number of medicinal materials, including quite a few Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng."

Xie Changan was even more puzzled, "What kind of flower is this? It's so delicate that it needs to be nurtured with precious medicinal herbs."

"I suspect," Jiang Li said word by word, "the poisonous insect is hiding in this flower bud!"

"When the flowers bloom, that will be the day when the Gu worm matures!"

Xie Changan was startled, his expression solemn: "How should we deal with this flower? Can we take the poisonous insect out?"

Jiang Li shook her head and said, "The Miaojiang Gu technique is extremely strange. It's best not to come into contact with the Gu insect. Burn this flower together before it comes out!"

She was afraid that Xie Changan would not believe her, so she said, "We can try cutting a flower bud first. Do you have gold-thread gloves?"

Xie Changan was speechless. Gold-thread gloves?

"Do you think the East Factory can have such luxury?"

He stopped a factory guard and asked him to get a pair of scissors and a pair of gloves.

Jiang Li said: "I need another can of kerosene!"

When Yin Jiu and others heard that Jiang Li was going to take action on those magnolia plants, they all ran over to watch the fun.

Jiang Li put on gloves and used his spiritual sense to put a "protective shield" over his entire body. He said to everyone, "Move away. Don't get too close."

Xie Changan and others followed instructions and walked about ten feet away.

Jiang Li carefully cut off a flower bud, placed it on the ground, poured kerosene on it, and lit it with a fire starter.

The flower bud instantly started burning, and the sound of insects buzzing could be heard from inside!

Everyone was shocked and took a big step back.

Xie Changan was worried that Jiang Li might get hurt, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled her behind him.

Jiang Li was touched, raised his head and smiled, "I'm fine. Sir, look, the bug should be dead."

The flower bud was burned to ashes, and there was a pool of black blood on the ground!

"There really is a living creature inside!" everyone was shocked.

"Burn all these flowers!" Xie Changan ordered.

A raging fire was burning in the yard, and from time to time there could be heard the hissing sounds of dying insects. There were even fat white insects trying hard to get out of the flower buds, which immediately turned into black blood when they encountered the fire, and a foul odor filled the air.

Jiang Li quickly asked everyone to wear face masks, not knowing whether the smell was poisonous or not.

During this time, the Military Affairs Department and the Embroidered Uniform Guard came several times, thinking that there was a fire in the East Factory.

Xie Changan was also a little scared, fortunately Jiang Li discovered it in advance. If he waited until the flowers bloomed and the poisonous insect came out on its own, who knows what kind of disaster would happen?

If things go wrong, the entire East Factory might be wiped out.

This would explain why "Madame Gong" would frequently go to Cuixiang Pavilion. It turned out that she wanted to cultivate poisonous insects!

Under severe torture, the Yang family did not utter a single word. It is conceivable that "Madame Gong" must have planted some kind of "mother-child poison" in them.

"You will be credited for this." Xie Changan said with a smile.

It was the first time that Jiang Li received a good look from him, and she couldn't help but feel very happy.

Yin Yi also patted Jiang Li on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Our little Sixteen is really good! He saw the problem at the first sight."

Yinjiu made a bitter face and said, "Brother, do you know who this person you are taking a picture of is?"

As one of only two people who knew the inside story, Yinjiu felt that his life was really difficult!

At the same time, in a palace in Miaojiang, a woman in black spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

"Holy Envoy! What's wrong with you?" The servant beside him was suddenly panicked.

The woman in black was about thirty years old, with a teardrop mole under her left eye, and her pale face looked even paler at this moment.

She gritted her teeth and said, "My poisonous insects are all destroyed!"

The next day, a woman in white walked gracefully into the backyard of the East Factory. She was extremely beautiful, with a cold expression and fluttering white clothes, making her look like a fairy who was not of this world.

Suddenly, the woman in white was stunned. The white flowers in the yard had turned into ashes!

She was so angry that her pretty face turned pale. Her cold expression suddenly broke through and she screamed, "Where's Qionghua? Who told you to burn it?"

At this time, Xie Changan was in the hall, talking about Qionghua with a scholar in blue.

The young man was in his early twenties, with a handsome appearance and a distinguished temperament. His every move exuded a carefree and calm demeanor.

"Is there really a poisonous insect in there?"

The young man was filled with regret, "I wish I had been there last night. I've heard that Miaojiang's Gu technique is unrivaled in the world, and they actually use Qionghua to cultivate Gu worms! Brother Xie, why didn't you leave me a sample?"

Xie Changan glanced at him and said, "The insect melted into a pool of black blood when it came into contact with fire. How can I keep it for you? The ashes are still there in the backyard. Do you want them?"

"Alright, I'll go see if it can be of any use."

Although he felt it was a pity to burn it, he also knew that Xie Changan could not take the risk. If the poisonous insect wiped out the Eastern Depot, it would be a serious sin.
