Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 101 The Poor Cannon Fodder Who is a Master of Medicine and Poison 42

"Lord Li, you are too kind. This is my job. I believe that anyone with a sense of justice would do the same. So there is no need to ask for credit. As a person from the underworld, there is no need for me to get involved."

"Miss Gu, you know I didn't say that. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to get these evidences so easily. Even all those who knew about the existence of Tianxianzi, Zhihuan and Du Lao might have been silenced in the end."

"And now, these evidences are our way of survival. If I can survive and report these evidences, I will definitely not be able to conceal the contribution made by the young lady, otherwise it would be deceiving the emperor. So..."

"I'm sorry, I know the young lady doesn't like trouble, and doesn't want to be involved in court affairs. But now I still have to involve the young lady." After Li Jinyuan finished speaking, he bowed to Gu Qian again.

Gu Qian hurriedly helped Li Jinyuan up, "Master Li, you are too kind. I was entrusted by someone to investigate this matter. How can you say that I am implicated because of you?"

"Now that the truth of the matter has been almost uncovered, I have completed my mission. As for what happens next, if you can't avoid it, just accept it."

Li Jinyuan looked at Gu Qian, his heart filled with gratitude and admiration, "Thank you Miss Gu, you are so open-minded. I will never forget this kindness."

At this moment, a soldier came hurriedly, "Report to the lord, we found a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and precious medicinal materials in a secret room!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Jinyuan's eyes, and then he ordered: "Count carefully and record it in the book."

Li Jinyuan thought to himself: This must be the money that King Cheng gave to Du Lao to bribe local officials to make it easier for them to do things.

He ordered all of the poisonous man's men to be taken away and locked up in the government jail. Then, he ordered his subordinates to take a team of people to guard the place and ensure that everything was handled properly.

Then, Li Jinyuan sat there and fell into deep thought.

He had to bring the poisonous old lady back to the capital, but at the same time he was faced with a thorny problem: if he brought the poisonous old lady and a group of guards together, the target would be too obvious and would inevitably attract other people's attention.

If their whereabouts were discovered by King Cheng's men, not only would they be unable to protect the witness, Du Lao, but even the evidence they had worked so hard to obtain might be destroyed.

However, Li Jinyuan could not give up on the poisoner because he was the key witness to expose King Cheng's crimes.

How can we deliver the evidence to the capital and into the hands of the emperor quickly and inconspicuously?

At this moment, Li Jinyuan suddenly thought of King Xiaoyao.

He knew that Xiaoyao Palace had a close relationship with Gu Qian. Although Xiaoyao Wang was a king of a different surname, he was a staunch royalist.

King Xiaoyao had saved the late emperor on the battlefield many times, and when the current emperor was still the crown prince, he also saved his majesty from danger. The two of them call each other brothers.

If the matter could be reported through King Xiaoyao, then the evidence could be presented directly to the emperor. Why would he have to ask for instructions from each level one by one?

Li Jinyuan immediately said to Gu Qian: "Miss Gu, I have a favor to ask of you. Can you grant my request?"

"Sir Li, please speak." Gu Qian was a little confused. What else did she need her help with?

Li Jinyuan said sincerely, "That day in the restaurant, I saw that the owner of the Xiao's Restaurant was quite respectful to the young lady, so I guessed that the young lady might have some connection with Xiaoyao Palace."

"so?"

"I am not deliberately speculating about you, young lady. But the fastest and safest way I can think of to send the evidence to the capital is for you to hand it over to King Xiaoyao, and then have King Xiaoyao present it to His Majesty." Li Jinyuan continued to explain.

"Miss, you don't know that if I really return to the capital by chance, it won't be easy to meet His Majesty. But King Xiaoyao is different. He can enter and leave the palace directly."

"This..." Gu Qian was silent for a moment.

She didn't expect that Li Jinyuan could even see this, but it was understandable that the shopkeeper treated her like his boss, and it was impossible for the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple to not have this kind of observation ability.

Although she really didn't want to have anything to do with the court or the royal family, her Qinggong was indeed the fastest. Moreover, she was alone and had a very small target. King Cheng certainly didn't know her and couldn't chase her down.

It was equivalent to Li Jinyuan helping her block King Cheng's sight in the open and attracting all the firepower, while she only needed to deliver the evidence in the dark as quickly as she could.

If you think about it carefully, letting her go must be the best solution right now.

But it was really far. Although her Qinggong was fast, it also consumed her energy. When she arrived at Xiaoyao Palace, she would be exhausted!

Gu Qian made up her mind and said, "Lord Li is right. In such a critical situation, which concerns the country and the people, how dare Gu Qian refuse?"

Li Jinyuan felt relieved after hearing this. He bowed to Gu Qian with tears in his eyes and said, "Young lady, you are so understanding and righteous. Jinyuan has nothing to repay you for."

Then he said, "Miss Gu, when things here are roughly settled, I will lead a team of soldiers to escort Du Lao secretly back to the capital. When the time comes, please tell King Xiaoyao to send someone to pick us up."

"Don't worry, Lord Li. I will return to the capital as soon as possible and hand over the evidence to King Xiaoyao. Then I will report your predicament to King Xiaoyao and ask him to send someone to support you."

Gu Qian thought about it, pretended to reach into the cloth bag, and actually took out a few bottles of medicine from the space and handed them to Li Jinyuan.

"Master Li, there are some special muscle softening powder, sleeping pills, and some poison powders and poisons in here. If you are in danger, just pour them out. To prevent your own people from being poisoned, you can take the detoxification pills I made in advance."

As she spoke, she picked up one of the bottles and handed it to Li Jinyuan, "This bottle is the detoxification pill."

Then, she took out another bottle, her expression becoming particularly serious, "This contains life-saving pills made from various rare herbs. As long as the person is not dead, he can still hold on."

"But this medicine is extremely precious. There is only one pill left. I hope you will use it with caution."

Li Jinyuan took the medicine from Gu Qian, and a feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart. He said to Gu Qian solemnly, "Thank you!" His tone was full of gratitude, but also revealed a kind of determination.

Then, he sorted out the evidence in his hands, put it into a cloth bag and handed it to Gu Qian.

Gu Qian took the cloth bag containing the evidence, held it in his arms, and said, "There is no time to lose. I will be ready to leave immediately."

After saying that, Gu Qian turned his gaze to Luo Yunchen.

"Qianqian, I won't hold you back. You have to be careful on your own. I will go back to the capital with Lord Li and can still help. See you in our capital then."

When Luo Yunchen saw Gu Qian looking at him, he said jokingly.

"You should be careful and don't force yourself. If you need to use the things I gave you in an emergency, don't save them. Use them freely."
