Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: Beginning to Complain

You should know that after the poison was spread by the ox, it was capable of killing not just the people of an entire county; if truly exploited, the whole Liang Kingdom could potentially fall victim to this poison!

She was concocting a cure all by herself, and even with the greatest of skills, she couldn’t match the speed at which the poison was spreading.

"It was the villagers of that old farmer’s village who, hearing that the disease in Wan wasn’t an epidemic, banded together with several other households to secretly dig up the ox and cooked its meat to eat,"

the Eldest Prince swallowed hard and said.

Lin Caisang: "!!!"

Even if it wasn’t an epidemic, it was still poison!

For the sake of satisfying their appetites, were those people willing to give up their lives?

"That ox had been buried for several days already, and they dug it up to eat?" she gasped in shock.

It should have gone rancid by now, that they could still dig it up to eat; those villagers were really frugal, weren’t they? Couldn’t they just spend a little money to buy some meat instead?

On this point, the Eldest Prince was also at a loss and looked helplessly at the prefect.

"Miss Lin, the weather has been cold, you see, and after being buried for a few days, the ox didn’t really change much, so... Miss Lin, can we not talk about this and go see the situation in that village first?"

The prefect promptly came over and explained.

Faced with such a frustrating situation, he actually wanted to curse as well.

But whom could he curse? Weren’t those who had eaten the meat already fallen and unable to get up? Though they weren’t as severely affected as if they had been directly poisoned, they had indeed been poisoned!

"All right."

Lin Caisang took a deep breath and nodded.

However, before heading to that village, she still took out a large number of porcelain bottles from the carriage and handed them over to the prefect.

"Please trouble the prefect to distribute these medicines. After taking the antidote, those in Wan County who are poisoned should all be cured. As for the people in that village, I still need to go and see for myself."

"Thank you, thank you, Miss Lin, you are truly a living Bodhisattva, rescuing those in misery and distress!" The prefect hurriedly thanked her.

...

Inside Apricot Blossom Village.

Most of the villagers had been poisoned by the dead ox.

And those women and children who hadn’t eaten the beef were surrounding the old farmer’s home, each carrying tools, demanding he compensate for their family members.

The old farmer’s family was holed up inside their home, not daring to go anywhere.

When Lin Caisang arrived with the Eldest Prince and the prefect, she witnessed such a scene.

"Eldest Prince..."

Lin Caisang frowned tightly and glanced at the Eldest Prince.

The Eldest Prince was also shocked and immediately ordered his people to disperse the fellow villagers.

But the villagers weren’t having it. They were clamoring for the old farmer’s family to pay with their lives and even started a ruckus with the guards who tried to stop them; they were so fearless in the face of death.

"Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, please calm down, I have invited Miss Lin here, and she will detoxify the poisoned villagers!"

The prefect stood out and shouted at them.

"Prefect, it’s all because of Old Wang, that old bastard; otherwise, how could so many people in our village be poisoned?"

"Yes, prefect, you must stand up for us. You can’t let off Old Wang, that old bastard, lightly!" The villagers, seeing him, did not quiet down but instead started making their accusations.

Prefect: "..."

Whom could he possibly go easy on in this situation?

In this affair, who was the most innocent if not Old Wang’s family inside this house?
