Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: Feeling Bright Inside

"But... But Old Wang didn’t say dead cattle couldn’t be eaten," someone mumbled softly.

"If the dead cow was edible, do you think I’d let you lot have it at a discount? Wouldn’t I have just butchered the meat to sell?" Old Wang pointed at those people, his question loaded with indignant anger.

His family merely grew vegetables to sell. How much silver could that bring in? If a perfectly healthy cow had died, would he have buried it just like that? Did they think his silver was blown in by the wind?

"You commit your own misdeeds and still want to shift the blame onto my family? Not on my watch! I’m telling you, if you dare to come to my door causing trouble again, I... I..."

"Just come to the county yamen to file a complaint, I will make sure justice is served for you!" The county official finally spoke up for Old Wang.

Speaking of Old Wang, who had supplied vegetables to Wan County for so many days and taken life risks, he had indeed made contributions to Wan County, and it was right to protect him.

"Thank you, Your Honor."

Old Wang looked at Lin Caisang with a face full of gratitude and thanked the county official.

Had it not been for Lin Caisang speaking up for him, he would have felt unable to stay in Apricot Flower Village anymore. Offending so many people all at once, how was he supposed to live his days in the future?

The crucial point was, offending these people wasn’t his intention; they were the architects of their own doom. What could he do about it?

"None of you are permitted to make any more fuss. If you dare to cause any further trouble, I will have you all arrested and sentenced to hard labor!" The county official stood with her eyebrows knitted, looking at those women.

"Miss Lin, about the antidote..."

He turned his head, his gaze shifting to Lin Caisang; the matter of the antidote relied on her, after all.

"Let me take a look at those people first,"

Lin Caisang thought for a moment, and then spoke to him.

Without seeing the poisoned individuals, she naturally couldn’t confirm whether the poison they had was the same as what Forensic Doctor Zeng had dealt with in Wan County before. Therefore, she had to see them first before making any conclusions.

"Then I will immediately have someone carry a few people over for you to examine," the county official said at once.

The next moment, he ordered the constables to carry the afflicted.

Seeing this, the women scrambled to have their own family members taken first, soon causing a ruckus among themselves, uncaring of how others saw or thought of them.

"Huff!"

Lin Caisang let out a deep sigh.

"Don’t mind them, Miss, they’re just some country village women, they don’t understand anything," the county official hastily explained upon hearing her sigh.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang’s lips curved into a faint smile.

It wasn’t that those women understood nothing; their minds were quite clear.

Otherwise, would they have neglected the sick members of their families to make a scene at Uncle Old Wang’s house? They were clearly hoping to gain some advantages here.

For such a small profit, to disregard even the sick of their own family, Lin Caisang had now seen it all!

...

Not long after, a few men were carried over, some deeply unconscious, their faces as black as if smeared with ink.

Lin Caisang took out her dagger and made a cut on the arm of one man.

"What are you doing to my head of household?"

A woman screamed, then tried to advance to stop what was happening.

Lin Caisang glared sharply at her, causing the woman to tremble with fright and involuntarily take a step back.

"Eldest Prince, please give me the bowl,"

She spoke to the Eldest Prince; as she hadn’t brought Sui Ziyou with her this time, she naturally needed someone else to assist, and among these people, she only knew the Eldest Prince well.
