Chapter 303 Luo Da's Misdeeds, He Reaps the Reward
"Miss, can you guess what precious medicinal herbs or rare flowers were used in this ointment?"
Wenwen's loud voice carried through the door into the yard, directly into the ears of the Luo sisters.
Ren Randan pondered, "Hmm, an indescribable fragrance. Let me think... it smells familiar, but where have I smelled it before? I can't quite remember..."
The two sisters' conversation only ended when they heard the door next door close.
Madam Ren's eyes gleamed, and she asked quietly, "What? Is there something wrong with this ointment?"
Wenwen scooped out a dollop of ointment and applied it directly to her arm. "No problem, it uses quite a few expensive medicinal herbs, it's really effective for scars, but..."
"but what?"
Everyone listened intently, watching with bated breath.
Wenwen took the plate of pastries, but before she could speak, Ren Ranman blurted out, "Is there something wrong with the pastries?"
Wenwen shook her head, "No problem."
"What's wrong with that? They only sent these two things."
Wenwen removed the snacks, turned the plate over and over, looked at it from left to right, up to down, and even brought her nose close to smell it carefully. Finally, she discovered the trick in the middle of the plate.
"Yingxin, bring over that basin of water you have with you."
Wenwen placed the plate into the basin of water. After a moment, some peach-colored powder seeped out from the center of the flower carved in the middle of the plate. The powder quickly turned the entire basin of water red, and the color was quite beautiful, just like the red of peach blossoms.
Everyone was shocked. "Is that even possible? The bottom of this plate is hollow?"
"It's not hollow, it's just that there's a tiny hole in the center of the flower, big enough to hold a fingernail's worth of powder."
Madam Ren was still puzzled, "What kind of medicine is this?"
Seeing the horrified expressions on everyone's faces, Wenwen stopped being mysterious and quietly explained, "This is a drug that drives people crazy. Taking too much will cause you to have a fever all over your body. Well, the antidote is hard to find... In short, you can't cure yourself."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Madam Ren, who immediately understood.
Apart from the old woman, the rest of the people in the room were innocent children who knew nothing about these filthy medicines. The old lady ordered, "Yingxin, throw this filthy stuff away."
Then, in order not to leave a bad impression on everyone, Madam Ren changed the subject, "Did you see any beautiful scenery in the peach grove today? Tell your grandmother about it."
Children will be children; the topic changed, and they completely forgot about the unpleasantness just now.
Xiao Jinning: "Grandma, we climbed to the top of the mountain today. From the top, we can see the city..."
Ren Ranman: "Grandmother, many pavilions have been newly built in the peach grove."
Ren Randan: "Grandmother, there are more people in the peach grove this year than in previous years, but they left after they finished looking at the peach blossoms."
Yingxin: "Madam, I noticed today that more than half of the people in this courtyard are gone."
"..."
It was late at night, and the snoring from the next room sounded very noisy to Wenwen.
Here at the temple, the rooms specifically for female worshippers are all the same layout. There are two rooms inside, one for the elders and the other for the younger generation.
The outer room was mainly for the maids.
Looking out the window, Madam Ren saw that the courtyard was pitch black and the moonlight was dim, making it impossible to see anything. "Get ready and go to sleep."
Before going to sleep, Madam Ren glanced at Wenwen subtly, and Wenwen returned her a reassuring look. The family then went to sleep peacefully.
While others could sleep, Wenwen couldn't. Her divine sense had been focused on the movements in the next room for a long time. Not only her, but Wen Chengjian and the others were also paying attention to the movements in the courtyard.
After midnight, there were some slight noises from next door.
A moment later, two figures emerged from the next room, their guilty consciences perfectly portrayed.
The two crouched low, tiptoed, and approached the back door step by step. After opening the back door, they walked more than ten feet away, squatted down by the wall, and released a signal flare. Just as the signal flare exploded in the air, the two were about to get up.
Unexpectedly, the back of his neck was suddenly attacked.
The two of them went limp and collapsed against the wall.
Needless to say, this was definitely done by Wen Chengjian and his group.
Not long after, two dark figures appeared on the back of the mountain.
As a dark figure walked towards the back door, he pulled a stick of incense from his pocket. "Hey, Ma Zi, put this incense in the room later. I'll... hehe, and then I'll bring it back to them after I'm done."
Another shadowy figure nodded. "Okay, I'll do as you say, boss."
However, before the two could even get close to the back door, the same thing happened to them; they were knocked unconscious by being slashed on the back of the neck.
In the darkness, Wen Chengbin removed the masks from the two men. "What kind of ugly people did Luo Da find? It's really a waste of my handsome face to disguise myself like them."
Wen Chengjian agreed, "It is indeed quite ugly. Second brother, enough with the nonsense, let's get started."
It turned out that Luo Da had found two notorious wanted criminals in the martial arts world, showed them portraits of the Ren Randan sisters, and told them to kidnap the sisters that night and take them to a room in a side hall in the front courtyard of the temple. After the job was done, he promised to give them a sum of money and also to send them out of the capital.
Luo Da thought everything was going smoothly and was currently waiting in a side hall with a group of young masters.
To his surprise, Wen Chengjian and his two companions had investigated everything thoroughly.
So, in the darkness, the Wen brothers cast a spell to disguise themselves as the two wanted criminals, and at the same time, they cast a spell on the Luo sisters to make them look like the Ren sisters.
At the same time, Ye Jingchuan dragged the two unconscious wanted criminals to a secluded spot, closed the back door, and transmitted his voice to Wenwen, "Wen'er, it's all taken care of. Go to sleep now. Hey, you two carry them on your backs and let's go!"
The second half of the sentence was clearly addressed to the brothers Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin.
In the darkness, the two brothers showed no mercy whatsoever. They acted roughly, shoving the person onto their shoulders and mimicking the shadowy figure as they dodged and weaved their way to the side hall.
After three long and two short knocks, the door opened from the inside. The two men took a bundle from the bundle, put the person down, and immediately turned and left.
While they were dragging the person into the house, Ye Jingchuan, who was hiding outside the door, secretly flicked a pill through the crack in the door.
Crunch!
The door to the room was closed.
Ye Jingchuan, who was hiding in the shadows, said, "You two go to the back mountain and throw those two wanted criminals at the city gate. I'll guard this place. Go."
Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin exchanged a glance. Actually, they didn't really want to eavesdrop; it wouldn't be good to offend their ears.
Ye Jingchuan watched the two brothers' figures disappear into the darkness, then looked towards the side hall.
Let all these sins be returned to the Luo sisters, the eldest Luo brother, and the matriarch of the Luo family!
Let them wallow in sin!
Some hatreds are not left unpunished, but rather the time has not yet come.
......
The next day, as dawn broke, the number of people at the temple gradually increased.
The time for the Zen lecture had not yet arrived, and some people who came to burn incense and worship Buddha were very devout. They went to each side hall to worship. Just as a group of worshippers passed by the backyard of the side hall, some scattered sobbing and panting sounds came from outside the door.
"Ugh, um, ahh—ah—"
