Li Xiaoran looked around the house as he muttered,

“Are you sure these people never came out after they entered the house?”

Zi Cheng nodded as he said with certainty, “This house is small, so there are only a few places to enter from. Our people have been guarding here the entire time. There’s no mistaking it!”

“No, there’s no one inside. Not to mention humans, there aren’t even small animals!” Li Xiaoran said firmly.

When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately came to the courtyard wall of the house and jumped up.

Luo Cheng wandered around the house, but there was really no one around.

Therefore, Luo Cheng blew the whistle and quickly summoned his men.

“Go ask our buddies to search carefully. I suspect that there’s a secret pa.s.sage under this house! Those herbs must have been transported away!”

When Zi Cheng heard this, he immediately realized his mistake and quickly called his buddies to look around.

Perhaps this home’s secret pa.s.sage was too hidden or something.

The group searched for a long time but couldn’t find it.

At this moment, Luo Cheng suddenly realized that a group of rats was gathering in a corner.

Even when they heard someone’s footsteps, the rats refused to leave.

Luo Cheng came to the corner and looked at them carefully. In the end, he thought of something and reached out to press the wall.

Sure enough, when he pressed on a brick, the brick on the wall suddenly turned. Soon, a carriage pa.s.sage appeared.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng immediately understood something.

“Zi Cheng, did you see the carriage coming out of this alley today?” Zi Cheng was stunned for a moment before he thought of something.

“Yes. One of the families said they were moving. They packed a lot of luggage and left in several carriages this afternoon!”

Luo Cheng immediately understood something.

It seemed that the other party had already used those carriages to transport the herbs away!

However, Luo Cheng had a backup plan. At this moment, he took out another whistle and blew it.

Soon, a small bird flew down and landed on Luo Cheng’s shoulder.

Luo Cheng took out some powder and placed it in front of the little bird to smell.

Soon, the little bird spread its wings and flew at a low alt.i.tude, as if it wanted to bring Luo Cheng and the others to find herbs.

Luo Cheng told everyone to quickly get into the carriage and followed the little bird out.

They didn’t walk far before the bird stopped at the side door of a house.

From this, it could be seen that Luo Cheng’s herbs were probably in this family’s house.

“There are clearly people guarding this house, and not to mention the number of people. We can’t force our way in!” Li Xiaoran sensed that there were many emotions inside, so she said.

When Luo Cheng heard this, he asked Zi Zheng to arrange for someone to keep an eye on this place.

“I think the herbs these people bought recently definitely won’t be placed in this place. Let’s keep an eye on them first. When the time comes, we’ll take them all out!”

Li Xiaoran also felt that this method was feasible, so the two of them left for the time being.

Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan were still waiting for the two of them to bring back the news.

Seeing that the two of them looked very calm, Meng Yan knew that the matter had not been settled.

“Could the herbs have been transported away?” Meng Yan guessed.

Li Xiaoran nodded and said, “That’s right! We were almost deceived by those people! After the other party entered a house, they transported the herbs from other houses through a door in the courtyard wall! Fortunately, we still found where those herbs were stored!”

“Have you brought back all the herbs?” Meng Yan asked again.

“No, we plan to leave the herbs here and see where the other party will transport them!” Luo Cheng explained, “I suspect that they must have other places to store herbs! Since we’ve already cast the net, we might as well be more patient and catch the big fis.h.!.+”

When Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan heard this, they also felt that this was a good idea.

“If we can really catch the big fish, it’s indeed worth us waiting patiently!” Ma Chongshan said.

With the matter settled, Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan were temporarily separated from Li Xiaoran and the others.

After Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan returned, they traveled around the capital to see if there were any abnormalities.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran rented a house near the house where the herbs were stored and secretly observed the situation in that house every day.

In the next few days, carriages arrived one after another and goods were sent to the house.

After dropping off the goods, the carriages left again.

Luo Cheng determined that the carriages that came out didn’t carry anything according to the depth of the wheel marks left on the ground.

In that case, those herbs should still be in the house.

The little bird would also fly to the house every day and comb its feathers in a leisurely manner.

As long as the little bird was still in the house, Luo Cheng could confirm that his batch of herbs was still stored in the house.

Time pa.s.sed day by day. In the blink of an eye, many herbs had been transported into the house.

Finally, on a moonless night, the people in the house began to move.

Packages of things were loaded onto the carriage, and groups of guards appeared

Luo Cheng sent someone to keep an eye on them but didn’t follow them.

Not long after, the second batch of carriages arrived.

This time, Luo Cheng’s herbs were packed and the little bird flew up quietly.

Seeing this scene, Luo Cheng knew what to do.

After arranging for some more people to follow them, Luo Cheng stayed outside the house.

Just like that, the night pa.s.sed. Luo Cheng watched as the other party moved the goods out a total of six times.

However, these six groups of people were walking in different directions.

Helpless, Luo Cheng could only return to the house they had rented and wait for the others to send the news back.

As it turned out, Luo Cheng made the right decision.

These six groups of people went around in circles before finally heading in the same direction.

This place was called Flowing Water Valley.

Li Xiaoran took out the map of the capital and looked at the location of Flowing Water Valley.

“Husband, why is this place called Flowing Water Valley?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.

“Because this valley originally didn’t exist. Ten years ago, a huge flood suddenly erupted and it rained for a month. A river was washed out of a small mountain outside the capital, and that’s how the Flowing Water Valley got its name. After the flood, only a trickle of water was left in the Flowing Water Valley. However, generations of people pa.s.sed down the story about the origins of the Flowing Water Valley, so no one has been willing to live near the Flowing Water Valley even until now!” Luo Cheng told her what he knew..
