Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: How Did You Know?

"All used up?"

Hearing his words, Lin Caisang paused mid-step, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at the Eldest Prince.

To be on the safe side, she had left more medicine than necessary, which by her estimation should last at least five days. Could it be that so many people had been brought into the county government?

"Yes, Miss Lin, all the medicine you left has been used up, not a single pill remains. There are still a few people who haven’t taken it, but they are still breathing," the county governor said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang immediately took out another bottle of medicine and handed it to the county governor.

"County governor, please go save the people first."

"Alright, alright,"

The county governor quickly agreed, took the medicine, and after paying respects to the Eldest Prince, he left.

"Eldest Prince, tell me what the situation is now."

After the county governor had left, Lin Caisang turned to the Eldest Prince to ask him.

"Now, following the method you proposed before, we have identified over a dozen targets within Wan County, but because we dare not startle the snake by hitting the grass, we can only hold back and have ordered the soldiers to keep an eye on them at all times,"

the Eldest Prince said.

"Eldest Prince, that’s not what I’m asking. I want to know what the situation is inside the county government, how come the medicine I left behind wasn’t enough?" Lin Caisang raised her hand to stop his words and asked.

Could the amount of medicine she left really not be sufficient?

Unless more people have been poisoned and brought into the county government in the past three days than before, how could it possibly not be enough?

"You’re asking about that."

Mentioning this, the Eldest Prince also furrowed his brow.

"I have no idea what’s happening, but since you left, the number of poisoned people in Wan County has been increasing. Every day, there are ten or even dozens of bodies brought in, some already without a breath.

But most of them are still breathing and could be saved, which is why there’s been more and more need for the medicine. Miss Lin, the ’Fearless’ you gave me before, I’ve also used it all up,"

he said somewhat sheepishly as he scratched his head.

After all, the ’Fearless’ was the life-saving remedy Lin Caisang left for him, and if it was all used up, he would not be able to save himself if anything happened.

However, faced with so many who needed saving and could not be saved, how could he selfishly keep the medicine for himself? Naturally, he saved whoever he could.

"More than any other day before?" Lin Caisang asked.

"What?"

The Eldest Prince did not immediately understand her words and was momentarily stunned.

But quickly, he grasped the meaning behind Lin Caisang’s words: she was asking about the ’bodies’ that had recently been brought into the county government. He promptly nodded his head.

"Yes, more than on any previous day. There had never been so many poisoned before, and it’s very strange. Previously, no poisoned animals were found, but in these three days, even the animals in the city have been poisoned,"

he said.

Because animals are not as important as human lives, people didn’t pay much attention.

But this phenomenon was very strange, as if the poisoner already knew that they had discovered the people were poisoned, not stricken with some epidemic.

However, the information Lin Caisang brought wasn’t blocked, and she had left soon after staying briefly at the county government.

Apart from the people in the county government and the imperial physicians brought by him, no one knew that they had found the bodies still alive, and the people they had revived had been kept within the county government without leaving.

How could the poisoner know?
