After inspecting Wan Song's house, everyone retreated.
They did not rummage through the boxes so that Wan Song would not be suspicious if he returned home.
The next location is Wan Song's warehouse.
The magistrate of Baishi County also sent two official envoys, asking them to obey the special envoy's orders throughout the process. These two people have been running local errands for almost twenty years. They can recognize the faces of horses and bulls from all over the country and have seen strange things. They are pure local snakes.
.
This shows the degree of cooperation of the Shiraishi County Magistrate.
He Lingchuan asked the two officials directly: "Do you recognize Wan Song?"
"So recognisable." One of the officials was named Xu Dayou, "When he was elected to the Baiqi Sect, Wan Xianneng gave this nephew a banquet to celebrate, and I even went to have a drink. It's a pity that he didn't make any progress in the end and was killed by someone else.
Drive him out. If I had known that this brat was killing demons secretly, I would have chopped him with one knife!"
"You can't beat him." Wu Huang, another officer, said bluntly, "He is just a piece of meat. We should have noticed something was wrong with this kid. He has not followed the local rules since he was a child, and he has become a desperado when he grows up."
Youtian Town is not big, and it takes less than two quarters of an hour to run from east to west.
Wansong's warehouse is right next to the medicine field and next to the path, making transportation very convenient.
Wansong's medicinal field grows many economic medicinal herbs, such as Garcinia garcinia, eldergrass, etc., and even hires a nest of weasels with small, round eyes to serve as caretakers.
But there was no Prunella vulgaris in his field. General Ling grinned at He Lingchuan: "He doesn't even plant it himself. Have you ever made a mistake?"
"Really?" He Lingchuan said nonchalantly, "We'll see."
The two officers stood forward and said a few words, and the weasels no longer dared to stop everyone from opening a position.
It is better to be in charge than to be an official now.
Half of the space in the warehouse has been occupied, and there are bags of herbal medicines piled up in various categories.
I don’t know how many warehouses like this there are in Shibata Township.
He Lingchuan drew his knife and randomly selected the opening of the medicine bag.
Polygonum multiflorum.
Prunella vulgaris.
Tian Qi.
Prunella vulgaris.
Prunella vulgaris.
He picked out more than a dozen bags, only two of which were of other herbs, and the rest were all of Prunella vulgaris!
Jiao Yu looked at General Ling and said, "What do you think?"
General Ling simply stretched out his mouth and took a few to satisfy his craving. While chewing, he said: "It tastes good and quite fresh. Well, what does this guy want with Prunella vulgaris?"
He Lingchuan had already figured out his previous confusion on the way here, so he grabbed a handful of prunella vulgaris and said:
"This is fodder for that monster. I'm afraid it's also the reason why Wan Song is stationed in Zhitian Township."
Everyone was surprised: "Isn't that monster feeding on demons?"
"I'm afraid its recipe is not unique." He Lingchuan stared at the grass blades in his hands, "This product is not ordinary. I may have seen its maker."
Yes, he remembered.
The last person who mentioned Prunella vulgaris to him was Dong Rui.
When this man was developing medicine for Zhu Erniang in the Demon Nest Swamp, he casually mentioned that he had made a demon puppet for people in Bejia Kingdom, numbered thirty-one.
Because it was made too hastily, this demon has flaws and must eat prunella vulgaris regularly.
"Otherwise, we won't be able to maintain it," these were Dong Rui's original words.
"who is it?"
"Have you ever heard of the name Dong Rui?"
General Ling shook his head, while Jiao Yu said: "It is said that he is a notorious puppet master who is wanted by our entire Bejia Kingdom."
It was a little surprised: "What does it have to do with this guy? Oh, you mean, this monster is the puppet he created?"
"Probably."
Dong Rui's works are strange and weird, but they all have one characteristic:
practical.
As long as it is used properly, it is very powerful.
"A mere demon puppet master can make demon puppets that can swallow more than a hundred pig demons in one go?" General Ling didn't believe it, "If he had such ability, would he still need to run around in embarrassment like a bereaved dog?"
"You're right." He Lingchuan was not in a hurry to refute him, "Dong Rui's demon puppet is not so outrageous."
He had fought against Dong Rui's ghost apes, strange birds and werewolves, and his combat power was pretty good, but when it came to killing more than a hundred monsters silently, he was still far from it.
What's more, Dong Rui said frankly that No. 31 was made in a hurry, and its level of sophistication is definitely not as good as the ghost apes and werewolves that he carries around with him.
So what went wrong?
Jiao Yu sniffed around on the warehouse floor: "There is the smell of monsters everywhere."
He Lingchuan touched the wall of the warehouse: "There are also traces of dried mucus."
He walked out and called the weasel to ask: "How often does the owner of this warehouse come here?"
The weasel looked at everyone with his small black eyes and chirped: "We can't remember."
Jiao Yu said coldly: "The Crown Prince's special envoy is handling a murder case. If you dare to omit or conceal the report, you are an accomplice!"
Under his eager gaze, the weasel shortened its body and tried to burrow into the soil.
He Lingchuan said in time: "The owner of this warehouse specializes in hunting down mountain monsters, skinning and refining their bones. He is committing a heinous crime. If you have any clues, you must help us bring him to justice!"
Bega Country is a country of demons. If anyone dares to hunt demons for a living here, it will indeed be a heinous crime.
The weasels looked at each other for a few times and were all shaken. Although they were not "mountain monsters", they were still weak, and they were inevitably frightened.
The most important thing is that He Lingchuan took out a pack of dried meat and handed it over: "Take it to grind your teeth?"
The weasel immediately stretched out his paws to take it, weighed it and said, "He sometimes comes every seven or eight days, sometimes half a month."
"When was the last time?"
"Six days ago."
"No, five days ago!" the other weasel retorted, "the moon was full that night."
General Ling couldn't help but said: "Then the next time will be soon."
He Lingchuan saw that the warehouse was half full of prunella vulgaris, which matched the time mentioned by the weasel.
"Who will deliver herbs to this warehouse?"
"There are a few drug farmers nearby," said the weasel, "They live within a radius of ten miles." Then he reported a few names.
The official Xu Dayou immediately said: "I know where those people live."
He Lingchuan nodded to him, and then asked Weasel: "You are guarding the fields here, do you feel anything wrong in the warehouse?"
"Yes." The other weasel replied, "Every time Wan Song comes over, we always feel that the warehouse is cold and cold, as if something strange and scary has appeared, and no one wants to get close."

He Lingchuan got the information he wanted, thanked them and stood up.
Back in the warehouse, Jiao Yu asked in a low voice: "What does that mean? Wan Song can release this monster with him?"
"It should be." He Lingchuan said, "I have seen Dong Rui's several demon puppets. They can change their size and even have their own spiritual consciousness."
"If it has its own spiritual consciousness, is it still a puppet?" Isn't it called a "puppet" because it can only move at the command of others, just like a marionette.
General Ling looked at the prunella vulgaris that took up most of the space in the warehouse: "As long as we don't scare the snakes, Wan Song will probably come back with the demon puppets to eat grass."
"No." He Lingchuan shook his head, "Wan Dahu doesn't know how Wan Song and the demon puppet operate, so they are obviously directly controlled by Mr. Mai. Mr. Mai's early escape means that he knows that Wan Dahu has been arrested, and Wan Song probably knows it too.
"
"Wan Dahu was arrested, and Wan Song's property entrusted to him was no longer safe, including this warehouse. If he was a smart man, he shouldn't have taken the risk to get the prunella vulgaris." He Lingchuan continued, "But we still
To be continued...
