Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Chapter 80
Xie Lin watched Sang Cheng's actions, his face suddenly turning pale. He suddenly knelt on the ground and stammered to explain, "Fifteenth Prince, this servant absolutely did not mean that. This wild vegetable is not very edible. It only has a certain amount to achieve the hallucinogenic effect. You can't eat that much."
At this point, he pointed at Sang Cheng, his eyes bloodshot as he said, "There's absolutely no one who eats as much as Sang Cheng. If you don't believe me, ask the people here; they've basically all eaten it."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at the people around him.
Those who were looked at by him lowered their heads silently and looked at the ground. They didn't want to look at him at all, nor did they intend to speak for him.
Upon hearing this, Little Orange suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yinyu, saying, "This is all my fault. I should have personally watched over this. Master, please punish me!"
Yinyu's gaze fell on Xie Lin and Xiao Chengzi. He closed his eyes slightly and said to the others, "Sun Qi, give Xiao Chengzi ten lashes. Put Xie Lin in jail first. Once we have thoroughly investigated and confirmed the hallucinogenic effects of this wild vegetable, we can make a decision."
He looked down at Xie Lin and said in a cold voice, "If it's really as you said, that wild vegetables are delicious but you can't eat too much, then you were wrong not to warn me before. I'll give you ten lashes like Xiao Chengzi later. Do you have any objections?"
Xie Lin listened to Yinwei's words and knew that he did not believe him, so he could only go to the cell and wait for the result. The people in the cell were all his people, so nothing would really go wrong.
He has a lot of spies outside, so he won't miss any news.
It won't affect the overall situation, and it can still stabilize the Fifteenth Prince.
His mind raced, and he quickly made a decision. He kowtowed slightly to Yinyu and said, "Yes, I will obey the Fifteenth Prince in everything."
Yin Yu waved his hand and said to the people beside him, "Go get a doctor to see Sang Cheng and the others. Let them wake up as soon as possible."
The people in line quickly ran outside. After a while, an elderly man was dragged over. After seeing the expressions of Sang Cheng and the others, he immediately said angrily, "I told you not to eat this, but you insisted on eating it. This stuff can cause hallucinations and is addictive. How can you just eat it?!"
The old doctor stroked his beard angrily, but he took out a piece of incense and placed it on the tip of Sang Cheng's nose. The pungent smell was inhaled through his nasal cavity, and soon he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment Sang Cheng saw the old doctor, he smiled foolishly at him: "Old man Wang, why do I see you?"
The old doctor raised his hand and hit him on the head, saying somewhat angrily, "Why did you see me? Every time I see you, it's not good. Remember to pay me back, ten taels of silver."
Sang Cheng felt pain and covered his head with his hands, but he looked at Yin Yu who was standing beside him and said to him, "Young Master has seen it too. This wild vegetable really can't be eaten. Eating too much will cause hallucinations. If you eat it a few times, you might even become addicted."
"Young Master is a rare talent. If he becomes addicted to this, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
When Sang Cheng saw the young master coming here to donate alms and saw what he donated, he knew that this young master was the kind of person who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
But just because of this, their lives improved a lot in an instant.
In return, when he learned that Xie Lin had brought back these wild vegetables, he immediately discussed with his brothers what to do. Having been in the city for so many years, he understood best that if he wanted people to believe that there was something wrong with the wild vegetables, he had to make them see the harm of these things on the surface.
Only then did he eat the buns in front of everyone, and he ate quite a lot, which caused him to hallucinate.
Yin Yu listened to his words and chuckled, "Thank you very much. I have already had Xie Lin imprisoned. If there is really something wrong with the wild vegetables, I will definitely not let him go. Of course, if there is nothing wrong, I will not punish him either."
"I believe what you just showed me."
These words were clearly told to Sang Cheng, telling him not to worry, and that he would definitely punish Xie Lin.
Sang Cheng listened to his words, and a smile appeared on his pale face. He looked at the few people who got up from the ground and said to him, "Then we should go back first. We need to have a good rest today."
When Yinyu heard this, he raised his hand and took out a silver note from his pocket, put it in Sang Cheng's hand, and said to him with a smile: "Take this, buy some food to nourish your body, as a token of my gratitude to you."
Then he turned to look at Doctor Wang beside him and chuckled, "I'm especially grateful to Doctor Wang today. If you hadn't come in time, I'm afraid there would be a big problem."
After hearing this, Doctor Wang stroked his beard and said to him, "Young Master, you've only just arrived here and don't know much about the locals. Although this wild vegetable is delicious, you absolutely cannot eat it. Every year, many cases of hallucinations occur due to overeating this wild vegetable. It's just because it tastes delicious, but it still persists despite repeated bans."
"I just don't know how this thing came to be delivered to you, a person as precious as you."
He shook his head, picked up the medicine box on the ground, and walked outside.
The eyes of the people watching here brightened when they saw the silver notes in Yinwei's hand.
Sang Cheng looked at the banknote in front of him and hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it. After seeing the amount on it, his expression suddenly became a little disbelief. He quickly pushed the banknote forward and said to Yinyu, "Young Master, this amount is too large. We can't accept it. Just give us ten or twenty taels."
Someone nearby was curious and took a look at the banknote. His eyes widened in shock and he exclaimed, "One thousand taels!"
After hearing this, the people behind him all looked at Sang Cheng, but after seeing his determined gaze, they all remained silent.
Yinyu smiled and said, "What I give you is yours. If I didn't have any loose banknotes, I might give you a few more."
He paused briefly before continuing, "Don't worry about anyone trying to harm you. I gave you this banknote. If anyone dares to attack you, they should consider their own abilities."
“Of course, if someone like Sang Cheng treats me well, I won’t treat anyone unfairly.”
After he finished speaking, he smiled and asked those people to continue, and he turned and walked inside.
As soon as they walked into the yard, the chef suddenly knelt on the ground, and several people picking vegetables also knelt on the ground.
Yinyou just glanced at them a few times and walked into the house.
After everyone left, the chef and the people who picked vegetables got up from the ground.
The ten whips on Xiao Chengzi's body didn't seem serious, but they made him bloody. He lay on the bed, looking a little gloomy. The people around him didn't dare to touch him and could only watch from afar.
She would only come out to bring him water when he needed it.
That night, bursts of chirping sounds were heard in the solitude, and from time to time birds flew over the roof, making rustling sounds.
Little Orange had just turned over when he was awakened by the pain of the wounds on his body. He simply opened his eyes and saw a person sitting on the chair.
He was so frightened that he sat up from the bed and looked towards the figure. After a moment, he said to the person: "Lin Qi?!"
Lin Qi took off the scarf on his face and chuckled, "Little Orange, what are you doing? You just got beaten, you should rest well, how can you sit up?"
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said with a smile, "This is the best wound medicine we have here. Give it to Grandpa Xiaochengzi."
"Let Grandpa Xiaochengzi's health get better quickly."
Little Orange stared at Lin Qi in amazement, then reached out to take the golden medicine. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I've been with the Fifteenth Prince for more than ten years, and I never thought I'd be worse than an outsider!"
He couldn't help but sigh and said, "But the Fifteenth Prince is my master. I can't betray him."
"Even if you give me medicine for my wounds, I won't be grateful to you."
Lin Qi smiled and said, "Eunuch Xiaocheng, what are you talking about? I came to see Eunuch Xiaocheng today. First, I want to give you some medicine for your wounds, and second, I want to ask Eunuch Xiaocheng a question."
Little Orange looked at the golden medicine in his hand, his eyes flickering. His fingers unconsciously stroked the porcelain bottle and asked Lin Qi, "You say."
Lin Qi looked at Xiao Chengzi and smiled, "I want to know, since Xiao Chengzi's father-in-law knew that the wild vegetables were not edible, why didn't he tell the Fifteenth Prince?"
"Or does Eunuch Xiao Chengzi not intend to tell the Fifteenth Prince about this?"
When Little Orange heard Lin Qi's words, his face changed drastically. He widened his eyes and said in panic, "What nonsense are you talking about?! I just didn't have time to open my mouth before Sang Cheng took the initiative. How could I deliberately harm my master?!"
"Stop your slander!"
Lin Qi looked at Xiao Chengzi's actions and immediately understood what he meant. He chuckled and said, "Just make sure Eunuch Xiao Chengzi knows what it is. If Eunuch Xiao Chengzi cooperates with us, this matter will never have happened. If he doesn't cooperate, then he will just be our four enemies."
"I'll wait for Grandpa Xiaochengzi for three days. If you don't give me a reply within three days, don't blame me for exposing the matter."
After saying that, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness.
After everyone had completely disappeared, Yinyu came out from behind the curtain. He looked at Xiao Chengzi and said with a smile, "Xiao Chengzi, your acting skills are getting better and better. When we get back, I'll ask my father to reward you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengzi's eyes curved with a smile. He bowed to Yinyu and said, "Thank you, Master. I don't really need rewards. If you were willing to give me some gold, I would be happier than a reward."
Yin'e stood in front of Yinyou, listening to Xiaochengzi's words, and couldn't help laughing softly. What kind of master is, what kind of servant will be found!
