Chapter 406: What are you doing behind this king's back?
The corners of Liu Shengsheng's mouth swayed in a curved arc, "It's very simple, you go out and tell everyone that the gods gave you the antidote last night and saved the lives of the whole clan, and at the same time, I also entrusted you with a dream to let your whole clan starve for a day, so that there can be no disease and no disaster."
The corners of Xiao Jiang's lips twitched next to her, and Niangniang still fooled people as always......
Yizhou was accustomed to it, and stayed quietly with Nan Muze.
But it was Patriarch Lin who nodded heavily, "This method is feasible, but what about after that?"
"After that, you have to lead the whole clan to drain the well water in each courtyard, and say, this means that this is a new beginning, and everyone should wash the dust, not only to freshen up the whole body, but also to scrub the corners and corners of the house, anyway, let everyone use up the water in the well as much as possible."
Patriarch Lin made a difficulty.
Lai Yi also said solemnly, "Girl, the well water is inexhaustible......
Liu Shengsheng said: "I know the principle of the well, and when I say draining, I don't mean that everyone should really drain the well, but let everyone use a lot of water, and when the well water is temporarily used to the bottom, the water that comes out again will not be poisonous. If the whole clan were to do it together, the person who poisoned him would surely know that the water from the well was no longer poisonous, and then he would definitely poison it again, and only then could he be found out."
Patriarch Lin was full of sadness, "This method sounds simple, but the water from the well comes from the ground, at least for now, it is inexhaustible, no matter how fast it is, there will be residual water in the well, and the water that comes out again is always a little poisonous......
"I know, but there is too much water, and the poison is also diluted, and the person who poisoned it must know this truth, so it is certain to re-poison, after all, the poison that is faded will not kill people, as for the remaining poison, you can rest assured, I will put the antidote into the well, so that the water in the well will not affect people."
Patriarch Lin said, "The girl has an antidote, so why don't you just throw the antidote into the well? Why bother to do this......
"Isn't it to lure out the poisoners? Even I understand, as a patriarch, why do you have an empty head?" Yizhou couldn't help but complain.
Patriarch Lin was intuitively embarrassed and didn't make a sound.
Liu Shengsheng got up slowly, "If the patriarch thinks it's feasible, he can act at this moment while it's still early."
Patriarch Lin nodded heavily, "Okay, then do what the girl says."
As he spoke, he looked at Laiyi.
"Did you hear what the girl just said? Now go down and tell your people, and say that it is my arrangement."
"Good!"
As Laiyi retreated, Liu Shengsheng and the others politely said goodbye and walked out one after another.
As soon as he went out, Minami Mu Ze said, "There are other people in the hall."
Hearing this, the others were stunned.
Liu Shengsheng said, "How do you know?".
Xiao Jiang said, "Master's hearing is sensitive, I should have heard something."
After a pause, he said, "My subordinates will keep an eye on the patriarch, and if there is any change, they will come back immediately to report it."
Seeing Nan Muze nodding, Xiao Jiang looked left and right, and quietly retreated to the corner while no one was paying attention......
Yizhou yawned, "That patriarch looks weird, and I wonder if the poison is from him."
Liu Shengsheng was silent, "How could he poison himself with his poison? It should be unlikely."
Nan Mu Ze gently took her hand, "Let's go rest first, you didn't sleep much yesterday."
Liu Shengsheng was stunned, "I think I slept well......
"You don't."
Liu Shengsheng: "......"
Is there something wrong with her memory?
She remembered that she had slept the longest......
Inside the hall.
As soon as Liu Shengsheng and the others went out, an old man walked out of the corner.
"There are a few troublesome people."
Patriarch Lin sat on the main seat, "What is Elder Hua's opinion?"
That Elder Hua was gray-haired
Cang, looking tired, walked to the chair on the side step by step and sat down, panting and said, "The person who poisoned must be found, what does the patriarch think?"
Patriarch Lin nodded, "Then do as they say, no matter what, finding out the person who poisoned it is also a good thing for us."
"Those young people don't look like they're here to do business."
Elder Hua said suddenly.
Patriarch Lin took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I can see it."
As he spoke, he said earnestly, "But their skills are really good, and they make people tremble when they look at them."
Elder Hua was silent for a long time before he said, "We can't afford to provoke these people, so when we find out the source of the poison, let them leave."
Patriarch Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, "I naturally don't want to provoke such people, but no matter how powerful they are, in the end, there are only a few people, this is our territory, if we really want to bully more and less, they can't help it, after all, no matter how powerful people are, they will be outnumbered."
Elder Hua looked at him, "They're not something we can provoke."
"I know that as long as they don't find out our secrets, I won't provoke them unless I have to."
「……」
Xiao Jiangxiao on the roof listened for a while, and saw that there was no movement below, so he quietly returned to the backyard.
At this time, Liu Shengsheng had not rested, and was sitting at the stone table in the backyard with Nan Muze chatting about something.
Xiao Jiang walked quickly to their side, "They didn't give the poison."
Liu Shengsheng picked up the teapot on the table and made himself a cup of tea, "Who was hiding just now?"
"The patriarch called him Elder Hua, they do have secrets, and they really want to find out who poisoned them."
Hearing this, Nan Muze only said, "Their secret has nothing to do with us, as long as they also want to find out who poisoned them."
As he spoke, he took Liu Shengsheng's hand, "Go and rest, and leave the rest to them."
"Yes."
Maybe he was indeed a little tired, so Liu Shengsheng went back to the house and took a nap.
By the time I woke up again, it was completely dark.
After sleeping for too long, she only felt soft, and was just about to go out to wash, when she opened the door and saw a resentful white spring.
I saw Baiquan Yin Yang and said strangely: "This king woke up and couldn't see anyone, I thought you left this king and slipped away, but it turned out that you went to sleep again."
Liu Shengsheng stretched his waist and ignored him, but turned his head and knocked on the door next door.
The door opened, Nan Muze and Xiao Jiang were in the house, and Yizhou also walked out quickly, "Girl, you can act."
"What action? What are you doing behind your back?"
Bai Quan squeezed into the room.
Several people ignored him.
Liu Shengsheng said, "So fast?"
Xiao Jiang nodded, "The people here are very superstitious, as soon as they heard that the patriarch dreamed of the gods, they went home and drained the well water without saying a word, it will be already dark, and I don't know if the poisoned person will act tonight."
"Another point, there are too many wells in the Lin clan, and the people in the clan have returned to their respective residences tonight, and every well will be used, which also leads to the fact that every well needs to be guarded, and there is obviously not enough manpower, although the patriarch has sent a lot of cronies, but there are still several wells that no one is guarding at the moment."
After listening to Xiao Jiang's words, Liu Shengsheng had a doubt, "Did the patriarch tell his cronies about the poisoning of the well water?"
Xiao Jiang shook his head, "No, after all, we told him, but he only asked people to keep watch quietly, without explaining why."
"Then let's split up, squat for one night, and if we can't find anyone, we will continue tomorrow night."
「……」
Listening to the conversation of several people, Bai Quan was confused, "What are you talking about?"
Then I heard Yizhou say, "Girl, shall I come with you?"
Nan Mu Ze directly took Liu Shengsheng's hand, "She belongs to this king."
Bai Quan listened to the first two big, obviously not understanding what they were talking about
But I also know that they are all starting to group now.
So he hurriedly said, "Then the king will also be with her......
"Get out!"
"Get out of here!"
Nan Muze and Yizhou said in unison, mixed with Liu Shengsheng's "don't".
The three of them glanced at each other and closed their mouths very tacitly.
