Liu Shengsheng's mouth curved, "It's very simple. Just go out and tell everyone that the gods gave you the antidote last night, which saved the lives of the entire clan. At the same time, they also entrusted you with a dream to starve your entire clan for a day. Only in this way can you No illness or disaster."
The corners of Xiao Jiang's lips twitched next to her. The empress was still as good at deceiving people as ever...
Yizhou, with a look of habit, stayed quietly with Nan Muze.
But Patriarch Lin nodded heavily, "This method is feasible, but what happens next?"
"After that, you have to lead the whole clan and ask everyone to drain the well water in each courtyard. This means that this means a new beginning, and everyone needs to wash away the dirt. Not only must they wash their bodies, but they must also clean the corners of the house. Every corner is scrubbed, so that everyone can use up the water in the well as much as possible."
Patriarch Lin was in trouble.
Lai Yi also said seriously: "Girl, the water from the well can never be drained..."
Liu Shengsheng said: "I know the principle of the well. When I say draining it, I don't mean to ask everyone to really drain the well, but to ask everyone to use a large amount of water. When the well water is temporarily used to the bottom, the water will come out again later. Wouldn't it be poisonous? If the whole clan takes action together, the person who poisoned it must also know that the well water is no longer poisonous, so he will definitely poison it again. Only in this way can he be caught out."
Chief Lin had a sad look on his face, "This method sounds simple, but the water in the well comes from the ground, and it is inexhaustible at least now. No matter how fast it is, there will be residual water in the well, and the water that comes out again will always be there. It’s still a little bit poisonous…”
"I know, but with too much water, the poison will be diluted. The person who poisoned it must know this truth, so it is certain to re-poison. After all, the diluted poison cannot kill people. As for the remaining poison, Don't worry, I will put the antidote into the well, so that the water in the well will not affect people."
Patriarch Lin added: "Girl, you have the antidote, why don't you just throw the antidote into the well? Why bother to do this..."
"Isn't it just to lure out the poisoner? Even I understand. As a clan leader, why are you so empty-headed?" Yizhou couldn't help complaining.
Patriarch Lin felt embarrassed and did not say anything.
Liu Shengsheng stood up slowly, "If the clan leader thinks it's feasible, we can take action now while it's still early."
Patriarch Lin nodded heavily, "Okay, then do as the girl said."
As he spoke, he looked at Lai Yi.
"Did you hear what the girl just said? Go down and tell the clansmen now, just say it was my arrangement."
"good!"
As Lai Yi retreated, Liu Shengsheng and others politely said goodbye and walked out one after another.
As soon as he went out, Nan Muze said: "There are other people in the hall."
Hearing this, others were startled.
Liu Shengsheng said: "How do you know?".
Xiao Jiang said, "My hearing is very sensitive, so I must have heard something."
After a pause, he added, "I will keep an eye on the clan leader. If there is anything unusual, I will come back and report it immediately."
Seeing Nan Muze nod, Xiaojiang looked around, and quietly retreated to the corner when no one was paying attention...
Yizhou yawned, "The clan leader looked weird. I even doubted whether he was the one who administered the poison."
Liu Shengsheng was silent, "How could he poison himself as well? It shouldn't be possible."
Nan Muze gently held her hand and said, "Go and rest first. You didn't sleep much yesterday."
Liu Shengsheng was stunned for a moment, "I think I slept well..."
"you have not."
Liu Shengsheng: "..."
Is there something wrong with her memory?
She clearly remembered that she slept the longest...
In the hall.
As soon as Liu Shengsheng and others went out, an old man walked out of the corner.
"There are some troublesome people here."
Patriarch Lin sat on the main seat, "Elder Hua, what do you think?"
That elder Hua has gray hair
Cang, with a tired look on his face, walked step by step to sit on a chair nearby, panting and saying, "The person who poisoned us must be found. What does the clan leader think?"
Patriarch Lin nodded, "Then do as they say. No matter what, it will be a good thing for us to find the person who poisoned us."
"Those young people don't look like they're here for business."
Elder Hua suddenly said something.
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. It makes people scared to see them."
Elder Hua was silent for a long time before saying, "We cannot afford to offend these people. Let them leave once we find out the source of the poison."
A trace of evil flashed in Patriarch Lin's eyes, "Of course I don't want to provoke such people, but no matter how powerful they are, they are only those few people. This is our territory. If we really want to bully the few, there is nothing they can do." , after all, no matter how powerful a person is, he will be outnumbered."
Elder Hua looked at him, "They are not ours to provoke."
"I know that as long as they don't find out our secrets, I won't provoke them unless absolutely necessary."
"..."
Xiao Jiang listened for a while on the roof. When he saw that there was no movement below, he quietly returned to the backyard.
Liu Shengsheng hadn't rested yet, and was sitting at the stone table in the backyard with Nan Muze, chatting about something.
Xiao Jiang walked quickly to them and said, "They didn't inject the poison."
Liu Shengsheng picked up the teapot on the table and made herself a cup of tea, "Then who was hiding just now?"
"The clan leader calls him Elder Hua. They do have a secret and they do want to find out who poisoned him."
Hearing this, Nan Muze only said: "Their secrets have nothing to do with us, as long as they also want to find out the person who poisoned them."
With that said, he took Liu Shengsheng's hand and said, "Go and rest, and leave the rest to them."
"kindness."
Perhaps she was indeed a little tired, so Liu Shengsheng went back to the house and took a nap.
When I woke up again, it was completely dark.
After sleeping for too long, she just felt soft. Just when she was about to go out to wash up, she saw Bai Quan with a resentful face as soon as she opened the door.
Baiquan said with a strange tone: "I woke up and saw no one. I thought you had left me and ran away, but it turned out that you went to sleep again."
Liu Shengsheng stretched and ignored him. Instead, she turned around and knocked on the door next door.
The door opened. Nan Muze and Xiao Jiang were both in the room. Yizhou also walked out quickly, "Girl, you can move now."
"What action? What are you doing behind my back?"
Bai Quan forced his way into the room.
Several people ignored him.
Liu Shengsheng said: "So fast?"
Xiaojiang nodded, "The people here are very superstitious. As soon as I heard that the patriarch dreamed of gods, they went home and drained the well water without saying a word. It was already dark now, and I didn't know who poisoned him. Will you take action tonight?"
"One more thing, the Lin clan has too many wells. Everyone in the clan has returned to their respective residences tonight, and every well will be used by someone. This also means that every well needs to be guarded. There is obviously not enough manpower. Although that The clan leader has sent many close men, but there are still several wells that no one is guarding."
After listening to Xiao Jiang's words, Liu Shengsheng had doubts in her heart, "Did the patriarch tell his cronies about the poisonous well water?"
Xiao Jiang shook his head, "No, after all, we warned him, but he only let people guard him quietly without explaining the reason."
"Then let's split up and squat one night first. If we can't find anyone, we can continue tomorrow night."
"..."
Listening to the conversation between several people, Bai Quan was confused, "What on earth are you talking about?"
Then I heard Yizhou say: "Girl, can I come with you?"
Nan Muze directly took Liu Shengsheng's hand, "She belongs to me."
Bai Quan listened with great dismay, obviously not understanding what they were talking about.
Yes, but I also know that they are now starting to form groups.
So he quickly said: "Then I also want to go with her..."
"roll!"
"Go away!"
Nan Muze and Yi Zhou said in unison, mixed with Liu Shengsheng's "no".
The three of them looked at each other and closed their mouths in perfect agreement.
