Wei Jing's brows were tightly furrowed, and his dark eyes were unfathomable.

He helped Hua Cui up from the ground and asked hurriedly, "What do you mean? Does sister-in-law also think there is something wrong with them?"

Hua Cui nodded and told Wei Jing everything that happened after she went to get the spices yesterday.

"After learning that it was the shopkeeper who wouldn't let me leave, the young lady was furious and said she would never go to that spice shop again, thinking that he must have some ulterior motive."

"I had already decided not to go, so the lady didn't pursue it too much, but I never thought that today... he would disappear!"

After Hua Cui finished speaking, she covered her face and cried again.

Wei Jing had a gloomy look on his face, with a bone-chilling chill.

Yesterday he just followed a few people and didn't know what they talked about.

Now hearing Hua Cui say this, the spice shop was indeed a major suspect, but he had clearly investigated it before and did not find anything wrong.

Where does the problem come from?

"Let's go to the spice shop first and ask where this tulsi incense comes from!"

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, the warm jade felt warm to the touch, but the smell on it was really terrifying. If Wei Jing guessed correctly, the strongest smell on Jiang Mingwei's body was emitted by this jade pendant!

Wei Jing felt particularly regretful at this moment.

Why didn’t you stop Jiang Mingwei and ask her about the matter?

Perhaps something as difficult as today wouldn't have happened...

The group rushed to the spice shop.

Seeing Hua Cui, the spice merchant immediately put on a smile.

"It's you again, young lady. What new spices does your lady want? It just so happens that we restocked them all yesterday, so we have whatever you want today!"

He smiled flatteringly and quickly introduced it to Hua Cui, "Look, this is the best orchid fragrance, this is..."

Before he could finish his words, a cold voice came from the door.

"Why don't you explain to me why you have the Tuo Luo incense from the Northern Sai?"

The spice merchant was stunned, a look of fear on his face.

Turning to look at the door, I saw a tall figure with a gloomy face and a cold light.

The black robe made him look tall and straight, with a fierce aura and a majestic look without even being angry.

The strong pressure even made him unable to breathe!

In his hand, he happened to be holding the jade pendant that Jiang Mingwei had previously held!

Looking at the man who came with ill intentions, and then looking at Hua Cui who also had a cold face, the spice merchant suddenly felt that something was wrong and smiled even more flatteringly.

"What is this young master talking about? Tuo Luo incense? I have never heard of it, so how can I know what it is? I'm afraid you have misunderstood something!"

"We have all kinds of incense in our store, but I have never heard of this Tuo Luo incense before. How can I buy it?"

"I've never heard of this. Do you really think everyone is a fool? Don't you know the smell of this?"

Wei Jing was furious and grabbed the jade pendant in his hand. Qingfeng rushed out from behind him, grabbed the shopkeeper's throat without saying a word, pushed him against the counter, and looked at him fiercely.

Now that the truth has been made clear, but he's still playing tricks and still refuses to tell the truth, then don't blame them for being ruthless!

With a loud bang, the porcelain bottles on the counter fell to the ground.

The scent of perfumed powder filled everyone's nose, so sweet that it made people feel sick.

"Wait, wait a minute, ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing? This is a small business, a legitimate business, why are you doing this to me? I haven't done anything!"

"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. I have come to your place in disguise before, but I never smelled the incense. However, the owner of this jade pendant gets stained with it every time he comes to your place. Is this a coincidence... or is it a way for you to mark your candidates?"

Wei Jing's eyes were deep and dark, and he spoke coldly.

Hua Cui was even more furious, she clenched her fists and glared at her with red eyes.

"You bad guy! How can there be someone as vicious as you? My young lady is taking care of your business, and you dare to kidnap her and not return her. Do you know who she is? Do you want to die?"

Seeing that this group of people had ill intentions, the spice merchant also looked fierce and stopped begging for mercy.

"No matter how wrongly you two are accused, it's nothing. Your ladyship is missing, what does that have to do with our little shop? If you have any doubts, go ahead and search!"

"You can search the front and back yards thoroughly. If you can find her, I will go with you to the government office today. But if you can't find her, don't blame me for accusing you of false accusation!"

Wei Jing narrowed his eyes dangerously and winked at Qingfeng.

He nodded, immediately slipped into the backyard and began looking for Jiang Mingwei's whereabouts.

Wei Jing paced back and forth in the spice shop with a cold look on his face.

Wherever I go, I stop to look and carefully identify the smells around me.

But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't smell the incense.

Looking at the spice merchant not far away, he was pulling at his collar uncomfortably and glaring at them with resentment, as if blaming them for damaging his business.

Since the commotion here, several customers who wanted to enter his store immediately turned around and left.

But right now, nothing is more important than finding Jiang Mingwei.

Even if we kill a thousand people by mistake, we must not let even one go!

Besides, this spice shop is indeed highly suspicious...

After searching the first floor, Wei Jing took the shopkeeper upstairs to continue searching.

After searching in vain, he went downstairs again.

However, just as he went downstairs, a familiar fragrance wafted past his nose. He immediately stopped and turned to look at the spice seller beside him.

He obviously smelled it too!

There was panic in his expression, as if he had been caught and was terrified.

Even though he tried his best to stay calm, the person he was facing was a general, someone who had fought bloody battles on the battlefield. How could he not see through such a despicable tactic?

Wei Jing's expression suddenly turned cold, he grabbed her and lifted her up high!

"How long are you going to keep this secret? Hand over Tuoluoxiang right away! Is she missing and has anything to do with you? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"

The inner strength in his hands gathered, with an intimidating aura, and the spice dealer was completely panicked.

There was fear in his eyes and he nodded repeatedly!

"Speak! I'll speak! Isn't it enough for me to speak? Don't kill me, please don't kill me!"

He held his head in horror, his face full of fear.

Hua Cui's eyes suddenly turned red with anger, and she pointed at him and started cursing.

"You damn black-hearted businessman, where did you take my lady? Why did you treat her like this? Let her go!"

"Please spare me, please spare me. I really don't know where your lady has gone! I have tulsi incense in my spice shop, but I only supply it because someone wants it!"

"Besides the incense of the dharani, I really have nothing to tell you."

"This store is so small, and your people have gone to investigate. If they can find your lady, how can they not find her? Her disappearance has nothing to do with me!"

The spice merchant looked embarrassed, then he walked tremblingly to the stairs, fumbled hard and broke it open, and a small bag of tulsi came out.

The originally faint fragrance suddenly became clearly audible.

Wei Jing covered his mouth and nose in disgust, his expression gloomy.

That's right!
