102. It's over, it's over, this time they will definitely be over!
"Master, what should we do?"
Several subordinates who were close to the master saw that the medicinal materials called Mawei were all red in color as the magistrate said, and they couldn't help but become nervous, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
If these medicinal materials were really stolen here by thieves, and they distributed them to the people, and the county magistrate would blame them, wouldn't they be unable to eat them and carry them around?
"It's over, it's over. It seems we're really done!" Several officers and soldiers moved around in panic, "Isn't the county magistrate angry with us? How did we know that his house was stolen? If we knew, how could we not take this batch of medicinal materials?"
Are the medicinal materials lost in his treasury related to each other?"
Seeing that several of his close men were panicking, the master had no choice but to comfort him: "Okay, everyone, don't scare yourself first. Before the county magistrate came to check, the few of us will distribute these mawei that have not yet been boiled into soup."
All the medicinal materials are hidden, act quickly!"
Several men then quickly picked out all the medicinal materials called Mawei and hid them in a remote corner of the ruined temple.
After doing all this, everyone was covered in hot sweat, cold sweat from fear, and sweat from panic.
Fortunately, there were five or six of them who took out these medicinal materials very quickly. It took less than a cup of tea and almost all of them were hidden.
Then we took a breath together and walked out of the ruined temple together.
As soon as they stepped out with their front feet, Yingbao got in with her back feet.
Just now she saw the master and others discussing the idea in the space, and also saw that they temporarily hid the red hemp tail medicinal materials in the corner of the ruined temple.
However, according to the shrewdness of the county magistrate, when he saw that these medicinal materials did not include Mawei, who specializes in epidemic diseases, he would definitely have suspicions and guessed that the master had hid all these medicinal materials away from him.
Ying Bao immediately went to the corner of the ruined temple and put the red hemp tails hidden by the master and others into the space.
At this time, the master and several officers and soldiers also walked to the gate of the ruined temple.
The master walked at the front and said to the county magistrate with a smile on his face: "Sir, we just went over to check, and there is no red hemp tail as you mentioned."
Several other soldiers also echoed: "It's true that there is no such thing as Mawei. We haven't even seen the medicine."
After hearing the replies from these people, the county magistrate immediately frowned in doubt: "How could it be possible?"
He glared sharply, and the master and several close subordinates around him said coldly: "My lord, go and see for yourself!"
When they heard that the magistrate wanted to see it by himself, the master and several of his subordinates were excited.
But no one dared to stop it, and could only let the county magistrate go to the place where the medicinal materials were kept in the ruined temple.
The master and others hurriedly followed behind, feeling panicked.
When the county magistrate arrived at the ruined temple, he saw that there were many medicinal materials in the ruined temple, and some of them had been sent out and boiled into soup.
He immediately went to look for Mawei medicinal materials.
As a result, he searched for a long time and couldn't see it.
Looking back, I saw that the master and several of his subordinates all looked guilty. Although they tried their best to hide it, they still couldn't escape his eyes.
These people were probably alienated from him, so they helped the criminals who stole his treasury and distributed these medicinal materials to the people without letting him discover them.
This is simply unreasonable!
If he gets the handle, life for these people will be worse than death!
The county magistrate immediately started searching everywhere in the ruined temple.
He couldn't believe that there was no hemp tail in these medicinal materials!
This medicinal material is the main medicinal material that specializes in treating febrile diseases. Without it, the effect of preventing plague will be greatly reduced.
It’s impossible not to have it!
These people must be hiding.
He had been waiting at the entrance of the ruined temple just now, but did not wait for them to come out. He concluded that these medicinal materials must still be in the ruined temple and had been hidden by them.
He immediately called the people he brought with him into the ruined temple and asked them to search together.
"Search carefully for me and be sure to find the Mawei medicinal materials that specialize in febrile diseases!"
The master looked at the collection of more and more people. Such a small ruined temple would definitely be searched from top to bottom soon, and he couldn't help but feel anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Although he looked calm and confident on the outside, his heart already felt like he was being boiled in a frying pan.
Several of the men around him were even more frightened than him, and beads of sweat were dripping down.
Several people cried out sadly in their hearts: It's over, it's over, they will definitely be over this time!
With so many people, those red pony tails will be found soon, and what they are hiding will be discovered.
And their fate...
Several people didn't dare to think about it anymore, and their whole bodies were already shuddering.
"Found it!"
Just when several people were worried, they heard the officers and soldiers brought by the county magistrate suddenly shout.
Upon hearing these three words, several officers and soldiers around the master were so frightened that they fainted to the ground.
When the magistrate saw the reactions of these people, he secretly sneered in his heart. He knew that these people had different intentions.
Now that he saw the Dong Chuang incident, he was so scared that he fell to the ground. Unfortunately, it was already too late. If he had found conclusive evidence, these people would all die!
He immediately ran over following the officer's voice: "Where is it?"
I saw the officer and soldier opening a broken mat in the corner of the ruined temple, and there were indeed a lot of horsetail medicinal materials underneath.
Seeing the medicinal materials piled there, the magistrate turned around on the spot and gave the master a slap in the face.
"You're a rip-off bitch. Because I trust you, I let you control the plague on my behalf. I gave you such a great power and position, making you one person below Ancheng and above ten thousand people. Who would have thought that you would treat me like this?"
, I see you are really tired of living!"
The master immediately knelt on the ground in panic: "Sir, spare my life! We..."
Before he finished speaking, the officers and soldiers who had searched for the medicinal herbs suddenly spoke again, "Sir, these medicinal herbs are not red, but the common white color."
"What?"
Hearing this, the county magistrate was immediately surprised and walked over hastily.
"How can it be white!"
As he spoke, he knelt down and picked up the hemp tail medicinal materials and inspected them carefully.
Seeing that these medicinal materials were all white, he shook his head in disbelief and muttered to himself: "Impossible, this is completely impossible, how could it be white? The Mawei medicinal materials in my treasury are all red!"
As he spoke, he immediately threw the white horsetail medicine in his hand to the ground, turned around and looked at the master and several of his men who were kneeling on the ground: "What on earth is going on? Why is there a pile of horsetails hidden in the corner of this ruined temple?
, is it possible that you are hiding something from me?"
The master was shocked when he saw such a change, but his life was the most important thing at the moment. His mind was racing, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said to the magistrate:
"Sir, please forgive me. These hemp tail medicinal materials were collected privately by me and the few guards who stopped the medicine farmers. I was afraid that you would blame me, so I was afraid of being discovered by you..."
The master's explanations are reasonable, but they are not what the magistrate wants.
This means that these medicinal materials have nothing to do with the medicinal materials lost in his treasury!
