After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

"Of course there are." Xiao Ran poured out the thickly wrapped medicinal herbs from the side.

Uncut he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) was dumped on the stall, looking like a little person, with some fresh soil on it.

But what caught the woman's attention even more was another medicinal herb.

"Do you sell these too?" the woman asked, pointing to the indigo flowers.

Indigo flowers, commonly known as blue ochre.

Xiao Ran pretended not to understand and scratched his head. "Sell it? We don't really know much about this stuff. We just saw a lot of it growing on the mountain and picked some. We don't know how much it's worth."

The woman squinted as she looked at the people sitting on the ground.

The woman speaking wore a tattered long dress, the hem worn and frayed, as if gnawed by rats. Her hair was loosely tied with a straw rope, a few strands falling down, but they couldn't hide her smiling face.

There were two other people beside her, both dressed as beggars like her.

The woman felt a little relieved.

"My lady, do you want more?" Xiao Ran asked timidly.

Hearing this title, the woman was quite pleased, and then took out some copper coins from her clothes and threw them on the stall.

"Wrap these two up."

However, Xiao Ran did not pick up the copper coins, but instead wrapped them up with the medicinal herbs.

The woman looked puzzled, and Xiao Ran chuckled awkwardly, saying, "We're just uneducated bumpkins, how could we tell which are medicinal herbs and which are weeds? Since you want it, madam, we'll do you a favor... But, madam, could you tell us what the medicine is for?"

Seeing the woman hesitate, Xiao Ran handed her the cloth bag and added, "Knowing the effects of the medicine will make it easier for us to sell some in the future... Please, madam, tell us about it."

The woman took the cloth bag and said, "It's just some heat-clearing herbs, nothing special."

"Is this He Shou Wu also one?"

The woman looked up and saw Xiao Ran with a simple and honest smile on his face.

She tugged at the black cloth covering her face and said in a deep voice, "It's used to treat malaria."

After saying that, he ignored Xiao Ran and turned to leave the stall.

"Is she the prisoner?" Pei Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at the woman's back.

"It's pretty much a done deal," Xiao Ran said, then called out to the alley behind her, "Duan Li, follow her."

Duan Li leaped off the roof, responded, and flew away.

"Now all we need to do is wait patiently."

……

night.

Xiao Ran, Duan Li, Chen Zijin, Pei Yun, and Jiang Shaorong arrived at the abandoned house on the east side.

"Why is he here? What does our investigation have to do with him?" Xiao Ran stared at Jiang Shaorong with disdain, her tone full of contempt.

Pei Yun looked somewhat embarrassed: "...Jiang the Registrar said he is from the Dali Temple and also wants to find the criminal as soon as possible."

"And then you agreed?" Xiao Ran raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of accusation. "You're really useless."

Chen Zijing was taken aback; it seemed that Miss Xiao had said something similar to her before…

Pei Yun could only force a smile and agree, but inwardly he felt utterly helpless.

I had no choice but to change the subject, "I wonder what Officer Duan has found out?"

Duanli's gaze slowly shifted from Jiang Shaorong, pointing to the ancient well, "She's there."

"A well?" Pei Yun stepped forward to check, but there was only murky well water inside, nothing strange about it.

He looked at Duan Li with a puzzled expression, but Chen Zijing, standing beside him, timidly said:

"There seems to be someone inside..."

"How do you know?" Pei Yun asked.

Chen Zijin stepped forward and pressed her ear against the well wall.

"I can hear you..."
