Chapter 98 Hand over the antidote
After saying this, without looking at the expressions of the crowd, she took out a detoxification pill and handed it to Zhang San, asking him to dissolve it directly in water and let the officials drink it first.
Zhang San finally let go of the worry in his heart at this time. After thanking him, he turned around and did as he was told.
Seeing this, Second Master Xia rubbed his hands and said timidly, "Well... well, Xing'er, you have the antidote. Can you give us all the antidote first, and then track down the poisoner?"
He didn't dare to speak loudly to Xia Xing'er. He was filled with fear when facing her. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, Xia Xing'er would smash his head.
At this time, the other people in the team also reacted and looked for someone in the team who had medical skills.
After searching for a long time, his eyes all turned to Xia Xing'er, and his originally excited mood suddenly cooled down.
When they thought of what they had done before, their faces suddenly turned pale.
Hearing what Master Xia said, Xia Xing'er asked him in a good-tempered manner: "Why should I help you detoxify?"
She was a little suspicious whether she had been too easy to talk to recently.
Everyone looked at her as if she was not involved and became panicked.
Some people couldn't stand it anymore and knelt down in front of her, crying and saying, "Please, save us, we have never done anything to hurt you or your family!"
They just kept their distance and watched the fun from the sidelines.
"Xing'er girl, your family's problems are my fault. We already know we were wrong. Please save us because we are from the same clan."
"Yes, that's right. We really know we're wrong. You can't deny us. We have the same ancestors!"
"Chengsheng, please be kind and ask Xing to save us!"
All the members of the Xia clan knelt down, and some even kowtowed to Xia Chengsheng and the others.
None of this aroused Xia Chengsheng's sympathy. "Xing'er, you don't have to care about my thoughts. Do whatever you want. Dad supports you."
Even if you care about my thoughts, my thoughts are the same as yours, so I don’t care whether they live or die.
But he was still afraid that Xing'er would be soft-hearted towards these people for his sake. After all, he did care about these people in the past.
His daughter finally had a new life, and he just hoped she could be herself.
Xia Chengsheng's attitude is the attitude of everyone in the Xia family.
Gong Jue couldn't care less about his mission at this moment. He just wanted to survive. He led his clansmen to kneel before Xia Xing'er and said, "Miss Xia, as long as you save me and my clansmen today, we, the entire Gong clan, will obey your orders from now on."
Xia Xing'er looked at the people kneeling on the ground without a trace of mercy. She said coldly, "Instead of wasting time begging me, you might as well find the person who poisoned you as soon as possible. Then everything will be solved."
"You don't have much time left. You only have a quarter of an hour. If you can't find the person who poisoned you, you will die from the poison."
Xia Xing'er wasn't worried at all, but Gong Jue was. He ran up to Helian Zhi, grabbed him by the collar, and asked in a harsh tone, "Tell me, were you the ones who poisoned me? I saw you fetch water from the well. If you don't tell me, I'll definitely use your family as a scapegoat before the poison takes effect."
Helian Zhi, a military general, struggled to get out of Gong Jue's hand, but it was useless.
No one expected that he was actually a martial artist. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Master Xia also stood up tremblingly and looked for people who had been to the well one after another. It was not because he was diligent, but because he was afraid of death. He really didn't want to die yet.
Soon, everyone who had drawn water from the well or had come to the well were dragged out, more than 30 people in total.
They didn't know how much time they had left, and cold sweat streamed down their foreheads.
"Tell me the truth, who poisoned me?"
"It's Lin Wanqing, Lin Yuanfeng's daughter. She always looks down on everyone. That night, I saw her go to the grove, followed by several officials. She came back a long time later, disheveled. She's been acting strangely ever since, staring at everyone in the team with creepy eyes. She must have been abused by the officials, and her heart is twisted. She doesn't like everyone, so she poisoned the well water. She wants to poison all of us!"
Lin Yuanfeng's face darkened instantly. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could our Wanqing do such a thing? She's an innocent girl, and you ruined her with just one touch of your upper lip. Not only that, but you also falsely accused her of poisoning her. She's with me, her father, every day. Where would she get poison?"
He saw Lin Wanqing in the water-drawing group, her mouth blistering with anxiety. Seeing everyone's obvious disbelief, he said anxiously, "Believe it or not, it definitely wasn't my Wanqing who poisoned the well. She was just a playful child who threw a branch or a stone in there."
Lin Wanqing thought resentfully that Xia Xing'er was really a nuisance. Why did she tell everyone that the water was poisonous?
Why weren't they poisoned to death? We alerted the enemy today, and it will be very difficult to poison them again in the future.
She huddled behind the crowd, watching her father being besieged for her, without a trace of gratitude on her face.
Lin Yuanfeng looked at his daughter's timid and cowardly appearance, and thought that she must have been frightened by this group of people. He hated the people who framed her even more.
"Lin Yuanfeng, you are no longer the Prime Minister, and you can no longer protect your vicious daughter. Hand her over immediately if you know what's best for you."
"I don't believe she threw sticks and stones into the well."
"Mr. Lin, we haven't offended you and your daughter, have we? We have no grudges in the past or in the present, so you can't harm us like this. Hurry and have your daughter hand over the antidote."
"Hurry up and get your daughter to hand over the antidote, otherwise don't blame us for fighting you to the death."
Everyone looked as if they wanted to eat the father and daughter, and they were certain that they were the ones who poisoned them.
Lin Yuanfeng was so angry that he had forgotten that he was poisoned. He roared, "If we were the ones who poisoned the well, wouldn't we be stupid to drink the water from the well ourselves? The Helian family has a grudge against the Xia family, so maybe they were the ones who poisoned the well!"
Then he pointed at Second Master Xia and said, "This Xia also has a grudge against the Xia family and was whipped by the officials. He must also hold a grudge against them. Why didn't they poison him?"
He then pointed out several people one after another, all of whom had disputes with the Xia family, had been beaten by officials, and had conflicts with other families in the team.
When everyone heard this, they felt that what he said made sense, and turned their attention to the Helian family. Second Master Xia...
