Lin Mengya didn't believe him, but Qinghu had personally taught the Jackdaw Guards how to extort confessions. Even after the two men had fainted, they still didn't change their words.
It was obvious that it was true.
However, it was a simple trap. What could she do even if she had fallen into it?
What was their purpose?
But it was obvious that they wouldn't let it go so easily.
Who knew, they might come up with some new tricks.
Lin Mengya made a prompt decision to bring her men to check out the villages downstream.
The night was cold, and they galloped down the road on horses.
This was not far from the first village where the poison had taken effect. She brought her men to the village when it was the darkest.
However, she was the first to stop.
"Don't go into the village."
She nimbly dismounted from the horse and stared straight ahead.
The night breeze blew, but there was no light in the village.
There was a faint burnt smell in the air, but it was also mixed with the smell of rouge.
She took a sniff and immediately ordered the Jackdaw Guards behind her in a low voice, "Put on the gas masks, quick!"
She had prepared the masks in advance, and everyone carried them with them. They were very familiar with how to put them on.
After everyone had put on the masks, she walked toward the village with a solemn expression.
The village was a little run-down, and the burnt smell of rouge was getting stronger.
In the end, she almost lost her sense of taste.
But the village was quiet, and no one seemed to have noticed it.
"Master, it seems to be at the back of the mountain."
The voice through the mask was muffled. Lin Mengya nodded and looked around.
There was no sign of living people here.
They went around the village and quietly came to the back of the mountain.
At this time, the light of the fire had already reached the sky, and the sparsely scattered dozens of villagers were surrounding a raging bonfire.
They stood there, motionless, like puppets.
Then, Lin Mengya and her men saw a strange scene.
Several people began to throw the corpses one after another into the fire.
The corpses became the best fuel.
The fire engulfed the corpses, but the people around them didn't even try to hide.
They continued to stare at the bonfire. Not long after, these people began to crazily twist their bodies as if they were drunk.
In the blood-red firelight, the movements of those people had a strange sense of distortion.
They seemed to be in extreme pain, but also seemed to be enjoying extreme pleasure.
Everyone's face was filled with an inescapable obsession. In the end, after exhausting all the strength in their bodies, they slumped to the ground without a care.
None of the Jackdaw Guards dared to move. All of this was too strange.
Only Lin Mengya's expression became more and more solemn as she watched.
Other than the corpses, there was also a poisonous substance burning in the bonfire.
This poison was even more potent than the opium poppy.
She was probably the only one who knew what it was.
"The Flower of Bliss is also known as the Flower of Freedom and Drunken Rouge."
In the system, Xiao Yao had already retrieved the relevant information from the decrypted music score for the green stringed instrument.
It was an extremely addictive poison, and when the plant was burned, it could stimulate the greatest medicinal power.
Excessive amounts could cause death, but it would keep the body from rotting.
However, to her surprise, the villagers didn't die.
They only prostrated on the ground for a while before getting up.
This time, however, they looked like normal people.
At that moment, three men in black slowly walked over from the other side of the bonfire.
"Elder!"
The villagers greeted them with reverence and sincerity.
The three men ignored them. They walked to the bonfire and asked, "Have the divine objects been destroyed?"
A man who looked like the village chief stepped forward and said humbly, "We did as you said and burned all the divine objects in the back mountain. Elder, what are we going to do in the future?"
It's that person!
Lin Mengya was both shocked and angry.
She would never forget that the person who tried to evolve her that night might have been Huang Xuerou's murderer!
They had escaped to this place, and the divine objects they were talking about were obviously the Flower of Bliss.
What were they trying to do?
"You're all the most loyal believers of the divine objects. From now on, there's only one thing you need to do."
The elder looked around, and his words carried a hint of provocation.
"You need to tell the world who destroyed your home and took the lives of your companions.
”
"It's the Poison Doctors!"
The village chief gritted his teeth as if there was an irreconcilable grudge between them.
"They betrayed us, they destroyed the divine objects!"
"Yes! They are the Poison Doctors! "
In the face of these people's indignation, Lin Mengya felt that this matter was simply too unbelievable.
The one who spoke was the elder of the Hall of Healing. Why were the villagers scolding the Poison Doctors?
For a moment, countless thoughts rushed into her mind.
She even suspected that this was a conspiracy between the Poison Sect and the Hall of Healing.
But soon, she sorted out her thoughts.
No, it couldn't be a conspiracy between the Poison Doctors and the Hall of Healing.
If they did so, it would be equivalent to the Hall of Healing unilaterally breaking the contract. If the news got out, the Poison Doctors who worked with them could use evidence to countercharge them.
So, it was a frame-up!
The Hall of Healing. Seeing how the village chief was fawning over the elder, it was obvious that the elder of the Hall of Healing had absolute authority here.
And now, they wanted to push the blame onto the Poison Doctors!
Now, she could not help but wonder how many of the Poison Sect's evil deeds in Country Wei had been framed in this manner.
Outside, the villagers had already been bewitched.
They were addicted to the Flower of Bliss, and their minds were under someone's control.
Lin Mengya didn't rush out rashly. She needed to understand the cause and effect of all this.
"Master, what should we do now?"
The Jackdaw Guards were on standby. Lin Mengya looked at them and whispered an order.
"Immediately bring our men here and secretly intercept the villagers here. Also, send someone back to report that a plague has broken out here and needs to be quarantined. No one is to come near without my permission. "
"Yes."
She looked at the three elders who were still bewitching the villagers, her eyes flashing with coldness.
"You guys secretly capture those three people. Remember, don't alert anyone."
Since they dared to plot against her in her territory, they had to be prepared to pay with their lives!
In the end, they chose to leave secretly.
Everything that had happened tonight left Lin Mengya's heart hanging in the air.
She couldn't imagine how many more such things were happening in the Gong family's fief.
The Hall of Physicians had worked hard for so many years, and indeed, they had the capital to overthrow a family.
Fortunately, she had arrived here a step earlier than him tonight.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
Unexpectedly, when they left the village, they saw a group of people standing at the spot where they had left their horses.
Lin Mengya raised an eyebrow. Her heart sank when she saw Wen Jing's gloomy face.
Why was he here?
"Why did you come alone?"
Wen Jing questioned angrily when he opened his mouth.
Lin Mengya was already a little angry, so she didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, she turned around and mounted the horse.
But Wen Jing was stubborn. He grabbed the reins of her horse and said word by word, "Didn't you hear what I said? Why did you come here? Are you trying to silence me? "
Lin Mengya was so angry that she kicked the man's hand away.
"I'm trying to silence you? Wen Jing, you're the last person who has the right to ask me this question! "
Both she and Yu had misjudged him.
They were all poisonous snakes in a swamp. How could they believe that he was untainted by the mud?
Look, there's clearly no evidence at all. Yet, he still pushed the blame onto Poison Sect.
"Tell me clearly! I don't care whose wife or disciple you are. If you dare to do evil here, I won't let you off! "
"Let me off?"
It was as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
She sat high up on the horse and looked down at Wen Jing. Her words were squeezed out from the gaps of her teeth.
"You're right. I shouldn't have let anyone from the Hall of Physicians off! Fine, don't you want to know why I came here tonight? Men, go and invite the three elders over. Let them have a good chat with Hall Master Wen. "
Lin Mengya was furious.
She didn't care if it was a conspiracy or not. As long as they dared to cause trouble, she would kill them.
Soon, the Jackdaw Guards captured the three elders alive.
"Kneel!"
The merciless Jackdaw Guards almost broke their legs with a kick.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am? "
"I don't need to know who you are. Moreover, you're going to kneel to your master."
Sitting on the horse, Lin Mengya said with a fake smile.
The leading elder finally saw the girl. Wasn't she the target of their purification?
He couldn't help but be shocked. How was she still alive?
Lin Mengya smirked. "I'm not dead, but I'm still holding a grudge against you. Are you disappointed?"
Just as the elder was about to say something, he heard an unfamiliar voice from the side.
"Which division are you from?"
The elder then saw a young man standing next to him.
The young man's face was ashen and his eyes were filled with confusion.
He didn't know the young man, but his pride made him puff out his chest and say bluntly, "You're smart. I'm the Vermilion Bird Division's purifier. But since you're with the scum of the Poison Sect, I'm afraid you're up to no good. Kid, I advise you not to help the wicked. Otherwise, the Hall of Physicians won't let you off! "
The coldness on Wen Jing's face seemed to have deepened.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel ironic.
Look, the feeling of being treated as an enemy by one's own people is probably not a pleasant thing to feel.
"Purifier? What's that? "
Wen Jing only felt that something that was so familiar to his bones had suddenly become very strange.
He couldn't help but look up at the girl on the horse.
