Chapter 26: Outwitting the Enemy

"I got up early in the morning to pick up manure. When I came back, I didn't see my woman."

On a sunny morning, Han Feng was cultivating the medicinal field with a hoe. The little fox was sitting on the eaves, watching Han Feng work.

"Your singing is so awful, could you please stop singing?"

The little fox spoke.

"Then can you sing a nice song for me?"

Han Feng said with a smile.

The little fox was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he said,

"No, there is malicious intent!"

Han Feng's heart sank when he heard this. He came to assassinate last night and now he comes again this morning?

Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

"Is Junior Brother Han here?"

"Who is it?"

"I'm the new errand boy, and I'm in charge of your area now. Today is April 15th, and it's time to hand in the herbs. I'm here to collect them."

"knew."

Han Feng put down the hoe, walked over and opened the door.

Although he knew that the other party came with bad intentions, Han Feng had no choice but to open the door. After all, they were doing their business, so he could only be more cautious.

When he opened the door, he saw a young disciple outside, wearing chores clothes and smiling.

"Brother, I have never seen you before."

Han Feng frowned.

"Oh, I'm the clerk of Danxia Peak. The clerk named Ma disappeared, so the elders transferred me here to be the clerk.

We will be colleagues from now on, so please take care of me, Junior Brother Han."

Looking at the other party's polite expression, Han Feng almost thought that the other party was a good person.

"Okay, what's your name, Senior Brother?"

"My name is Zhang Xiang."

"Okay, please come in, Senior Brother Zhang."

The two entered the yard. Zhang Xiang looked at the herbs in Han Feng's yard and smiled.

"Junior Brother Han, these herbs are growing very well. They are all vigorous and not withered at all. It seems that Junior Brother Han takes good care of them on a daily basis."

"Brother Zhang, thank you for your compliment, but these herbs are not yet mature. I'm afraid you will have to wait another month before you can come and get them."

Han Feng was unwilling to let the other party take the herbs, as who knew what tricks the other party would play.

As for next month, he is already an outer disciple, so why is he still worried about this?

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if the medicine is not old enough. Just take some so that I can report back.

After all, it’s my first day at work, and if I come back empty-handed, the elders will scold me.”

As Zhang Xiang spoke, he walked towards the medicine field.

Han Feng stopped him immediately upon seeing this and said,

"Let me do it."

As he spoke, Han Feng took out the ice dagger, cut off a few four-leaf orchids, and handed them to Zhang Xiang.

A few days ago, the white silk flower that had absorbed energy and blood for more than 30 years had been cut and put away by him. That thing must not be seen by others.

Zhang Xiang took the four-leaf orchids, took out a notebook, and started recording.

"On April 15th, I will take away five four-leaf orchids that Han Feng planted. Junior Brother Han, do you think what I wrote is correct? If it is correct, please sign your name."

It is a rule that you have to sign when receiving medicine and assign responsibilities to individuals, and Han Feng knows it.

There is no problem with the other party's procedures.

However, Han Feng smiled and said,

"Brother, you have just arrived at our Luoxia Peak and may not be familiar with the rules here, so I will dare to tell you.

Those of us who collect herbs must personally check the efficacy of the herbs, and only after confirming that they are correct and signing their name can they take them away."

"Ah? Is that so troublesome?"

Zhang Xiang asked in confusion.

"Yes, after all, everyone is responsible for this procedure, it's all for the safety of our disciples.

I give you this herb, you must check it yourself, and return the unqualified ones to me and replace them with qualified ones."

"I see. I understand. We don't have this rule in Danxia Peak. Haha."

Zhang Xiang smiled, checked the five four-leaf orchids, and wrote on the paper,

“On April 15, I collected five plants of the medicinal herb Four-Leaf Orchid planted by Han Feng to confirm its efficacy.

Zhang Xiang.

He tore off the paper and handed it to Han Feng.

"Is this all right?"

"I haven't put my fingerprints on it yet."

"How do I press my fingerprints?"

Zhang Xiang asked in confusion.

"Just bite your finger and press it."

"Is it so brutal?"

"Who told you not to bring ink? I don't have anything like it."

Han Feng said with a smile.

Zhang Xiang smiled and said nothing. He bit his finger, pressed the fingerprint on his name, and handed it to Han Feng.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. There are other people who have confiscated it."

"Brother, take care. Remember to bring ink pad next time."

Han Feng waved goodbye enthusiastically.

After the man left, Han Feng sat on the stool, looked at the paper in his hand, and said to the little fox,

"Now I can be sure that the man came just for me and didn't go to other people's homes to collect herbs."

"How do you know that?"

"Because we don't have the rule of writing a receipt and pressing fingerprints when collecting herbs here. If he has been to other families, he should have asked why other families don't have to press fingerprints."

Hearing this, the little fox was shocked and said,

"In that case, then this person must be fake. He is here to cheat you out of the herbs. Humph, these five herbs can be sold for several spirit stones. What a pity! How can you be so stupid?"

Han Feng looked at the little fox as if he were a fool and said,

"First of all, the ID card hanging around his waist is not fake, he is indeed the errand boy.

Secondly, if I really could steal a few herbs and sell them for money, then I wouldn’t have to worry too much.

I’m afraid this person might use my herbs to cause trouble.”

"What can you do?"

“For example, they took my herbs, made them into pills, and then said that my herbs were of poor quality or were poisonous, causing serious consequences, in order to frame me.

I have not offended anyone except the Ye family, and the only one who can deal with me is the Ye family.

That's why I asked him to write a document to confirm the efficacy of the medicine.

If Zhang Xiang is not the new errand boy, then he has no right to confiscate my herbs. The document I signed is invalid and I can say that the herbs are not mine.

If he is really the new manager appointed by the Ye family, then I can use the written evidence to say that he switched my herbs. After all, he personally confirmed that my herbs are effective. "

Hearing this, the little fox's eyes lit up and he said,

"Wow, you're pretty good. I didn't expect that a dog like you could be so smart."

"I'm not a dog licker."

Speaking of licking dogs, Han Feng suddenly had an idea and said,

“But just having a written document is not enough. After all, I don’t know how to make alchemy. I need someone who knows how to make alchemy to prove it for me.

So, if someone wants to take me away, you go find Jiang Surou and tell her that I have been framed and the Ye family wants to deal with me. I hope she can help prove my innocence.

do you understand?"

"Little fox got it!"

The little fox immediately said solemnly.
