Chapter 72
When she was stuffed into the car with her head covered, Mei Xue struggled a few times and then stopped moving.

Closing her eyes and feeling the direction of the carriage, after a while, Mei Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

It is the way to Qiu Mansion, which is very good.

Someone was binding Mei Xue's hands and feet, and another voice whispered:
"Be careful, don't break this kid's skin, or the master won't spare us."

"Is that what you need to say?"

Mei Xue curled up the corners of her mouth, and silently closed her eyes to rest her mind.

Even being placed on the ground is an extremely gentle movement.The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, the door should have been closed, and the light in front of him became even dimmer.

Suddenly there was a chill, which made people feel like falling into an ice cellar. Mei Xue shivered and shrank into a ball.

A low laugh sounded like a ghost.

Mei Xue began to struggle, her mouth was gagged, and she could only whimper.

This expression of fear obviously satisfied the man, and Mei Xue could feel him approaching step by step, with a stench of corruption.

Being picked up again, the light and shadow outside the bag changed, and Mei Xue silently memorized the direction and number of corners in her heart.

The bag on her head was ripped off, and Mei Xue finally saw the person in front of her clearly.

It was a pitch-black mass, with only one pair of eyes exposed, dim light flickering, and rotten air drifting away.

Mei Xue looked at him tearfully, shaking her head and struggling.

Qiu Daoren ignored Mei Xue, stretched out a hand to pinch Mei Xue's chin and said:

"I have made many leather masks, but I have never been satisfied. Fortunately, I finally got you."

Mei Xue burst into tears, she struggled to speak, but Qiu Daoren grabbed her neck with one hand, and held a pill in the other and said:

"If you want to die happily, just eat obediently and sleep, and nothing will happen."

While talking, Qiu Daoren tore off the cloth towel from Mei Xue's mouth, and directly stuffed the pill into her mouth.

Qiu Daoren exerted force on his hand, and Mei Xue swallowed the pill involuntarily.

She tried her best to dodge back, tears all over her face in fright.

Qiu Daoren was very satisfied, he looked at Mei Xue and smiled strangely, then got up and closed the door and left.

Mei Xue's face returned to calm in an instant. Her hands and feet were tied, so she could only move back and sit in the corner.

The room was brightly lit, and the floor and walls were covered in dry black red.

The strong smell of blood did not make Mei Xue feel sick. Looking at the dozen or so lifelike figurines, sadness surged out of her heart.

According to Song Zhijie's investigation, one of the victims was the only child in the family and was raised by his widowed mother and grandmother.

Less than a year after he disappeared, the two old men passed away one after another.

Qiu Daoren is unfortunate, as soon as he arrived in this world, he ushered in the most tragic beginning, but he has no right to deprive others of their lives because of this, and in such a cruel way.

After about an hour, the moment the door was opened again, Mei Xue closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Qiu Daoren untied the rope from Mei Xue's body, and stretched her hands and feet to lay them flat.

Looking at Mei Xue's height, Qiu Daoren gave a strange smile in satisfaction.

He has been hunched since the burn, and Mei Xue's height is almost the same as him now.

However, when Qiu Daoren possessed himself to take off Mei Xue's clothes, he suddenly shook, and then fell to the ground uncontrollably and twitched continuously.

Mei Xue stood up slowly, holding a sharp silver needle in her right hand.

Qiu Daoren gave up after struggling a few times, he looked at Mei Xue like a ghost.

Mei Xue looked around those figurines again, then looked at Qiu Daoren coldly and said:
"You were engaged in surgery in your previous life, right? You are not familiar with pharmacy, so you have been struggling for two years without success?"

Qiu Daoren's eyes widened in an instant, he stared at Mei Xue, struggling desperately to speak, but he could only utter the word "Mei" with difficulty.

Mei Xue looked at him and said lightly:

"You guessed right, I am Mei Xue, you may have heard of me a long time ago, and you have also guessed my true identity.

But from the moment I knew you, I only wanted your life. "

As she spoke, Mei Xue leaned over and pulled a bunch of keys from Qiu Daoren's waist, and before leaving, she glanced at him again and said:

"If you can go back, stop being a doctor, you don't deserve it."

Through secret doors and narrow stairs, Mei Xue finally reached Qiu Daoren's bedroom and propped up the window.

Not long after, Mei Gang appeared in the bedroom with a medicine box and said to Mei Xue:

"Girl, those servants have all fallen asleep, Qin Li and the others are guarding."

Mei Xue only nodded and did not speak, she was still concentrating on flipping through the documents in the box.

She couldn't wait to know how far Qiu Daoren had advanced the experiment.

Mei Gang stood silently beside Mei Xue and waited. He couldn't understand any of the words written on the paper, but he knew that these things were very important, and that it was for these things that Mei Xue was willing to take the risk.

It took a long time before Mei Xue let out a long sigh of relief. She had deliberately tested Qiu Daoren just now, and his reaction was consistent with the result she saw now.

He hasn't succeeded yet, although he is very close to the result.

Mei Xue stood up and whispered to Mei Gang:

"Uncle Mei, you took Qiu Daoren back and completely ruined his voice, but you can't let him die, he must die at the hands of King Lu.

In addition, you take this box back and keep it safe. I will take it back to the capital in the future. "

Mei Gang immediately responded, but still hesitated and said:
"Girl, I always feel uneasy if you stay alone."

Mei Xue shook her head, walked a few steps slowly in the room and said:
"I'll be fine, Uncle Mei, go and come back quickly, and just protect me in secret from now on.

In addition, you told Mr. Song that his plan can be implemented tomorrow, don't worry, and be safe. "

Mei Gang had no choice but to agree, and walked into the secret room in the direction of Mei Xue's finger.

Only two days later, King Lu received the news that he almost fainted: more than a dozen warehouses he hid in the mountains were robbed overnight, no one was injured, but the gold and silver treasures were taken away. There was nothing left, and as for weapons and food, most of them were destroyed.

King Lu was furious, and personally interrogated the soldiers stationed there. All of them had the same answer: they took the medicine sent by Qiu Daoren to the barracks according to the usual practice. Among them was a batch of herbal medicine. Qiu Daoren said it was prepared to prevent spring rubella, and no one doubted it. , and drank together after cooking.

When he woke up again, Qiu Daoren and others had disappeared without a trace together with the gold, silver and treasure.

"My lord, it is indeed Qiu Daoren, and even the people who follow him are the few in the past, and my subordinates will never admit it wrong."

All the warehouse guards said the same thing, and there was no doubt about it.

Years of painstaking efforts were ruined, and King Lu passed out on the spot. After waking up, he didn't care about rest, and personally led the soldiers to kill Qiufu.

But the Qiu mansion has already been emptied, and they rushed to the Zhuangzi in the outskirts, where it was already a piece of scorched earth, leaving only a pile of burnt and deformed copper and iron instruments.

King Lu was so angry that he fell off his horse on the spot.

Afterwards, the whole Qingzhou was in turmoil. The common people didn't know what happened, and they were too frightened by the soldiers searching everywhere on the street to dare to come out.

Qiu Daoren was captured half a month later. At that time, he was hiding in a forest. He was already dying of hunger, but he still had half a box of gold and silver with him.

The soldiers who found him pushed Qiu Daoren to the bottom of the cliff without saying a word in order to secretly divide up the half box of gold and silver.

Then they carried his body back together to return to work.

On the second floor of the commercial house, Mei Xue had already packed her luggage, and after hearing the news of Qiu Daoren's death, she said to Song Zhijie:

"Right now, Prince Lu's mansion is still investigating closely. Let Zongbing Yuan take good care of the property so that no accidents will happen. We just need to take the list back and hand it over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Song Zhijie nodded and said in a deep voice:
"According to the outside world, girl, you are going back to Qiantang to worship your ancestors, so we don't need to hurry, we can arrive in Beijing within half a month."

Mei Xue said "hmm", walked to the window and looked outside and asked:
"The families of the victims, have they all been settled?"

Song Zhijie's complexion also became heavy, and he thought for a while before saying:
"Except for the last two who were killed, the rest of the bones were piled together. It has been difficult to distinguish them for a long time, so each household had to divide some and take them back.

For those families that are in difficulty, I have arranged for Zhao Shuqin to help them tide over the difficulties secretly. "

Mei Xue looked up at the blue sky and said after a long time:

"I hope that our efforts can help Qingzhou avoid a war of swords and soldiers. The people here have been exploited by the King of Lu for many years, and it is already hard enough."

Except for the support from the Jiangnan Xie family, which of the mountains of gold and silver treasures is not the blood and sweat of the people of Qingzhou?
Song Zhijie also fell into silence. He looked at Mei Xue's back and remained silent for a long time.
