The group of people from Yunhe Village became somewhat nervous upon seeing the silver needles.

Everyone watches a lot of TV dramas.

Generally speaking, silver needles will turn black when they come into contact with poison.

The people who came to help were on tenterhooks.

They didn't bring any crossbows with them when they came.

Although the improved crossbow bolts can be folded into the sleeve and are generally not visible.

But to prevent them from searching them, none of these people brought any.

Lin Shucheng was also unsure; he hadn't expected them to be so cautious.

The original thought was that if even General Gu could be poisoned, these officials probably weren't very vigilant about taking precautions.

However, Lin Shucheng thought that he probably wouldn't be that unlucky.

After all, silver needles can only detect poisons like arsenic.

Lin Shucheng remained calm and even introduced the food to everyone: "This is a specialty of our Shawan County, barbecue. If we hadn't been traveling far away and hadn't been prepared, we would have treated everyone to hot pot. Enjoying the sea breeze and spicy food is simply amazing."

As he spoke, he kept glancing at the official holding the silver needle.

They took a closer look before smiling and saying to Lin Shucheng, "Don't blame us for being cautious; it's only because General Gu was poisoned that we're being so careful."

Lin Shucheng said cheerfully, "We have to be careful with anything that goes into our mouths. Our products are all made in-house, so there's definitely no problem. We're not afraid of testing!"

Lin Shucheng also brought them some fruit wine.

It tastes good, but the aftertaste makes you feel a little dizzy.

This makes it difficult to distinguish between being drunk and being poisoned by liniment.

Lin Shucheng breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that all of the hundred or so people had finished eating.

He smiled and said to the leading officer, "Sir, I'm going to check on General Gu's situation. After you've eaten your fill, could we give these people some food too?"

As he spoke, Lin Shucheng began to wipe away his tears. "I really can't bear it. About a hundred members of the Gu family were exiled, mostly the elderly, women and children. I imagine the men of the Gu family all died defending their country on the battlefield. I really can't bear it."

The lead officer, slightly tipsy, was suddenly roused by Lin Shucheng's words and said, "Good, treat them well, but once we get to the location, you can't cause any more trouble."

The officials were just trying to be helpful by reminding Lin Shucheng's family, worried that they might be implicated.

Lin Shucheng quickly agreed and went into the cabin to check on the old general.

The boat rocked slightly, and Lin Qiaohua felt a little uncomfortable.

Despite the difficulty, he still managed to take General Gu's pulse and prescribe medicine.

Lin Qiaohua's expression was not very good, but she smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, the old general's condition has been brought under control. If you want to cure the poison completely, you still need to find Master. I'm using the common antidote that Master gave me, which can only stabilize him for the time being."

Lin Shucheng: "Our return trip will take at least three days."

Lin Qiaohua nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, we can stabilize the situation in three days."

The white-haired woman beside General Gu, along with several young wives, all knelt down before them.

Lin Shucheng quickly helped them up.

As a result, after helping one person up, the other knelt down again.

Lin Shucheng simply knelt down as well, "You don't need to do this..."

As he spoke, he looked back outside. Everyone was enjoying their meal, and no one was paying attention to them.

Lin Shucheng then said, "Our village came here as refugees from famine, and we have received a lot of care from General Gu. That's why the people of our village have come here today to repay the General's kindness."

Seeing that the others had stopped crying and their faces were full of astonishment.

Lin Shucheng quickly asked, "Is the entire Gu family here? And the Tan family too...?"

Madam Gu hurriedly said, "The Tan family has also been exiled to Lingnan, but they... they had a dispute with the officials earlier, and now they are tied up and thrown into the warehouse."

The old lady wiped away her tears, looked at the young man in front of her, and said, "You mustn't take any risks."

Lin Shucheng quickly said, "Hey, don't worry, we won't take any risks. We just want to help as much as we can."

The Tan family was also there this time, which saved us a lot of trouble.

When Lin Shucheng went outside to take a look, good heavens, all of them were lying flat on their backs.

Lin Shucheng was worried about being ambushed, so he asked Lin Xueqing to test the waters.

Lin Xueqing is skilled in martial arts and has a quick reaction time.

These people are really unguarded.

Lin Shucheng shouted into the megaphone toward the boat, "Come here quickly, bring all the ropes, we want the boat and the people!"

Those bewildered officials: ? ? ?

They struggled to get up and come over to teach Lin Shucheng a lesson.

But one by one, after being poisoned by the cartilage-inducing powder, they couldn't stand up.

Lin Shucheng said with a smile, "Stop struggling. Blame it on the fact that you followed the wrong person."

This statement sounds just like something a villain would say.

The people of Yunhe Village tied these people up one by one and carried them onto their boat.

As for the Tan and Gu families, let's take them to Yunhe Village first. I reckon no other place would dare to take them in.

They spared no one, not even the officials or the boatmen.

The Gu family members even felt as if they had been transported to another world, but Lin Shucheng did not speak to them.

He was afraid that these old-fashioned stubborn people would suddenly say, "We cannot disobey military orders," after he had gone to great lengths.

Lin Shucheng was exhausted and sleepy. After sending a long message to his daughter, he casually found someone to take the boat back.

As for how to deal with these people, I still need to discuss it carefully with my daughter.

After Lin Shucheng finished dealing with these people, it was already four in the morning.

He had arranged to meet Lin Jinyue at the farm at eight o'clock. At seven-thirty, he struggled to get up and enter the farm.

He quickly gave Lin Xueqing a push: "Go quickly and tell them to stop the boat."

To prevent him from leaving the farm and going straight into the sea.

When Lin Jinyue entered the farm in the morning, she saw her father lying on the sofa, fast asleep.

Lin Jinyue nudged him: "Father, how is it?"

Lin Shucheng stood up and said, "Hey daughter, you don't know, your dad wiped them all out yesterday without shedding a drop of blood. It didn't take much effort at all..."

Lin Shucheng raved about himself for a while, recounted what happened yesterday, and then looked at his daughter.

Lin Jinyue knew that her father was waiting for her to praise him.

Lin Jinyue said politely, "It has to be my father. If it were someone else, a fight might break out, and the hostages might even get hurt."

Lin Shucheng was very pleased.

Lin Jinyue quickly asked, "Were they all rescued? What about the Tan family?"

Lin Shucheng slapped his forehead: "Oh, I forgot, I heard they were tied up and thrown into the warehouse downstairs. We should untie them first."

Lin Shucheng is now hesitant to make decisions on many things and has to consult his daughter on everything.

He also asked, "Daughter, I didn't talk to the Tan and Gu families in detail yesterday. What if they insist on being exiled?"

Lin Jinyue laughed: "That's easy, Dad, just do this..."
