Chapter 438 The Truth Revealed

"I know what you villagers are wondering about. Let me tell you in detail. I told you to be careful with the dosage when using this medicine. In order to prevent the poison from being spread in other invisible places, I developed this powder. As long as the poison is in the place where the powder touches, it will emit a faint glow. Since someone has sprinkled all the medicine on the ground, there must be marks on their hands. Let's give it a try. Besides Village Chief Wang and Wu Zhuang, whose hands will emit bursts of light? Do you dare?"

"That's just nonsense." Liu Quezi, who was standing by, heard this and refuted it, saying, "Why do you say it can emit light? I said it can't. Anyway, this medicine was invented by you, so you have ten thousand excuses. I think you are obviously holding a grudge against us for driving you out of Wangjia Village, so you deliberately did this to retaliate against us."

"Revenge you? What's so good about you that's worthy of my revenge?"

Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and looked at the people in front of her: "Even though my family was demoted, my husband is still an official in Bai County. Officials are more important than the people. You must have heard about this, right? The department store is indeed not as good as before, but how can I, Xu Miaomiao, not be short of money? You drove us out, and I didn't lie. I immediately moved to Bai County to live. If I really wanted to take revenge, you would naturally have ten thousand ways to do it. Why do you have to do this?"

"I want to make those two pieces of land wither easily without leaving any traces. Do you think I have no way to do it? After all, I was the one who discovered that those two pieces of land could be used for planting."

Xu Miaomiao spoke immediately, and everyone nodded in unison when they heard this. They pulled the people around them and began to whisper, because every word Xu Miaomiao said made sense. If she wanted to harm them, she could use many ways that they would not be able to detect. Why would she do such an obvious thing? This kind of thing was not like Xu Miaomiao's character.

When Wu Zhuang saw him say this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, let's test it. I don't believe that such a person could appear in our Wangjia Village."

As soon as Wu Zhuang finished speaking, a long line formed behind him. Xu Miaomiao sprinkled the powder on everyone's hands. After everyone had finished sprinkling the powder, there was no faint glow on their hands.

No one said anything, and they all looked at Xu Miaomiao with some sarcasm in their eyes, but Xu Miaomiao didn't care and said, "Mr. Liu, why don't you test it?"

Liu Quezi was suddenly called. His eyes flickered. He looked up at Xu Miaomiao, frowned, and immediately said, "What can I measure? I lost a leg. Besides, the medicine bottle has always been with Village Chief Wang. How can I get close to it? And when the land was damaged, I was the first to find you. My family is in such a difficult situation. We all depend on those two pieces of land to survive. How could I do such a thing? I really don't need to do it."

Liu Quezi spoke up, but the more he said this, the more Xu Miaomiao felt that there was something wrong with him. She shook her head. Who in the village would be suspicious? They owned their own land, so why did they have to harm their own land? But everyone was still wrong: "Now you are the only one who is not wrong. Why are you so special? Could it be that you, Mr. Liu, are guilty?"

"Why should I feel guilty?" Upon hearing this, Liu Guizi took a step forward in dissatisfaction and stared at Xu Miaomiao with some anger, but the more rude he looked, the more suspicious he aroused.

Wu Zhuang immediately took the porcelain bottle from Xu Miaomiao's hand and poured it into Liu Quezi's hand.

"What are you doing!"

Liu Quezi was suddenly touched by Wu Zhuang, and immediately panicked. He clapped his hands, trying to get rid of all the powder on his hands, but the more he did so, the faster the powder spread. His originally clean palms actually glowed faintly. Everyone was a little surprised when they saw this scene, but Xu Miaomiao laughed sarcastically as if she had expected it all, and said, "Mr. Liu, it turned out to be you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do it. I just saw that the porcelain bottle looked pretty, so I picked it up and played with it for a while. Who knew that I would get stained with this kind of stuff?"

Liu Quezi immediately started to explain, but now the facts were in front of them. No matter how he explained, no one was willing to believe him. They looked at him with contempt and perfunctory eyes. Among them, Wu Zhuang stepped forward angrily and punched Liu Quezi in the face.

Liu Guizi was cleaning the floor. His face was covered with bruises and there was blood at the corners of his mouth. He looked extremely miserable.

Wu Zhuang glared at him in dissatisfaction and said, "I knew you were resentful that Madam Xu couldn't go, but you actually came up with such a despicable trick. Those lands are ours. If you do this, how are we, a family, going to live? Have you ever thought about the people of Wangjia Village?"

Liu Quezi seemed to be crazy at this moment. He immediately roared at the people in front of him and said, "Isn't it for the people of Wangjia Village?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, looking at Liu Quezi with even more contempt, as if he was telling a huge joke, but Liu Quezi didn't take it seriously. He turned to look at everyone and said, "You want to treat those lands, but it's so difficult to treat the land. If we follow the method Xu Miaomiao said, what if something goes wrong? Then we'll be in vain. Besides, now that all the lands have been taken over by Wang Buren, the share we get is far less than before. How can such a small amount of money be enough to cover the winter expenses? It's better to just rely on Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao is so rich, can't we get through this year without any problems?"

As soon as Liu Quezi finished speaking, everyone fell silent, because what Liu Quezi said was indeed correct. Compared with treating the land by oneself, Xu Miaomiao's method was indeed a good one. Unfortunately, Village Chief Wang disagreed. Hearing this, he pointed at Liu Quezi angrily and almost couldn't stand. He said, "I thought you were just selfish and greedy, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious and come up with such a poisoning method. The meaning of life is to earn money through one's own labor, but how could you do this? You are harming the entire village. How are we going to survive this winter!"
