Government office.
In the heavily guarded closed room, there were dozens of beds, and on each bed lay a person. The ages of those people were between fifteen and twenty-five years old, all teenagers and young adults, very young.
Their eyes were tightly closed and their faces were pale. If one did not check their breathing, one would even think they were dead.
Tang Li bent down and looked at one of the young men. He opened his eyes and saw that they were all white. He checked his breathing and found that it was very weak. Their vitality was fading away bit by bit.
Tang Li frowned. Although her demonic power had recovered a lot, she was still helpless in the face of this situation.
Tangli's demonic powers have strengthened her physique, allowing her to defeat three of those secret guards alone. She has also regained two magical skills: one for sleight of hand, the other for bewitching people into revealing their truest thoughts. Furthermore, she has an additional skill that can help dispel negative emotions. The greatest benefit of these skills is Tangli's ability to protect herself.
Her magical powers could not bring back the dead, nor could they restore sanity to those who had lost their minds.
It seems that the laws of nature will not allow any living being to possess abilities that are too powerful, otherwise the world will be thrown out of balance. She can regain her demonic power and protect herself, so she should be grateful to the laws of nature.
Tangli sighed. She was really powerless to do anything about this matter. She could only rely on...
Tang Li raised his head and looked at another figure in the room, it was Doctor Su.
In the past two days, she had seen her husband several times, and he was always gloomy, because Mr. Fang refused to hand over the antidote no matter what. Her husband used threats and bribes, and was about to torture him, but Mr. Fang asked: "I handed over the antidote after being tortured, but it was not willingly. Do you dare to use it?"
If Mr. Fang tampered with the antidote, the so-called antidote could turn out to be a deadly drug. Wei Qing was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but the county magistrate stopped him. If he really killed him, then these 35 innocent lives would have to be buried with the poison doctor.
So, the situation remained deadlocked.
Tang Li knew that Mr. Fang would cause trouble, so he did not sit idle. He asked for permission from the prefect Wen and brought Doctor Su in to take a look.
Doctor Su is a miracle doctor, maybe he has a solution.
The day before yesterday, she brought Doctor Su here. Doctor Su carefully observed the symptoms of each person and then went back to read medical books.
After reading medical books for two days, he seemed to have gained something, so he dragged Tangli here early in the morning.
Doctor Su examined each person again, this time observing them more carefully, for two hours.
Only after he had examined the last person did Doctor Su stand up straight with a pensive expression.
"Doctor Su, how is it?" Tang Li asked.
"These past few days, I found a recipe in a book on poisons. After taking the medicine made with this recipe, 'the person will lose the whites of their eyes, their face will turn blue, and they will look like a walking corpse,' which is the same symptoms as these people." Doctor Su said.
Once you have the formula for the poison, it will be much easier to prepare the antidote!
Tangli was immediately delighted: "Great!"
"Don't be too happy too soon," Doctor Su said, "Besides this poison, there are many other drugs in their bodies. The drugs complement and counteract each other, so there can't be the slightest mistake, otherwise..."
Tangli immediately understood what he meant.
I don’t know how much medicine these people have been fed and how much suffering they have endured!
This poisonous doctor deserves to be torn into pieces!
"I want to take some of their blood back for research," said Doctor Su.
"I'll help you."
Tang Li, a modern-day resident, was familiar with modern medicine. He had discussed some of this with Dr. Su over the years. Dr. Su was a man of profound knowledge, always taking note of anything he heard that was good. He strongly believed that blood tests could reveal many human problems, so he had been researching this area for several years and had made some progress.
Doctor Su found someone to make a container to store blood and also made a thin silver needle to draw blood.
The two of them got busy.
After taking the blood, the two left the room.
When the two men walked into the yard, they met the worried-looking Wen Junshou.
The two men saluted County Magistrate Wen.
"Doctor Su, please go back and do your work first. I'll talk to County Magistrate Wen." Tang Li said.
Doctor Su nodded and turned away.
Tang Li looked at County Magistrate Wen and asked, "County Magistrate Wen, are you worried about Mr. Fang's matter?"
Wen Jun Shou nodded. "He said that without his antidote, these children would only live for fifteen days. He also asked Liu Lan to serve him. It was obvious that he wanted to take revenge on Liu Lan. If he was not satisfied, he would definitely not hand over the antidote..."
"Then Lord Wen wants to hand Liu Lan over to him?" Tang Li asked.
Magistrate Wen shook his head: "No. If I give it to him, he will only become more demanding."
Tang Li's expression eased a little. Fortunately, Lord Wen was not confused at all and saw it very clearly.
Wen Jun was actually very annoyed. Seeing Mr. Fang showing off his power, he wanted to kill this beast, but he knew how to control his emotions and remained gentle on the surface.
"Lord Wen, I want to meet Mr. Fang." Tang Li said.
County Magistrate Wen looked at Tang Li. The girl was very young, but very intelligent. She was a remarkable woman. He had long been impressed by her.
"Okay, follow me, girl."
Tang Li followed County Magistrate Wen to the outside of a room.
Tangli was about to push the door open.
County Magistrate Wen showed concern: "Miss, shall I have two guards accompany you in?"
Tangli shook his head: "No need."
"Miss Tang, be careful. Don't get too close to him. If you feel any danger, shout. I'll be waiting outside."
Tangli nodded and pushed the door open to go in.
Inside the door, Mr. Fang was lying on the couch, leisurely eating grapes, looking very comfortable. When he heard the door open, he turned around and saw Tang Li, revealing a sinister and playful smile.
"Oh, I ask you to serve me? You are indeed better looking than Liu Lan, and I think your hands are more dexterous than Liu Lan's. Come, massage my legs." Mr. Fang said lazily.
Tang Li stood still and asked directly, "What do you want in exchange for handing over the antidote?"
"How can I hand over the antidote? If you serve me well and I'm happy, I'll hand it over naturally."
"You've hurt so many people, don't you feel any guilt at all?"
"Guilt? Why should I feel guilty? They are just a bunch of ants! Using their lives to exchange for my ability to change the world, doesn't this make their lives more meaningful? Hahaha!" Mr. Fang laughed.
This kind of person has no empathy. In his eyes, other people's lives are not lives at all.
"You've killed so many people and deserve the death penalty. Shouldn't you hand over the antidote and ask for a lighter sentence?"
"A light sentence? Hahaha! The lives of those thirty-five people are in my hands. I am the only one who has the antidote. Who dares to try me?!" Mr. Fang said arrogantly.
During these fifteen days, no one dared to do anything to him! Fifteen days is enough, someone will rescue him!
He liked to see these people wanting to tear him into pieces, yet being helpless!
The more Mr. Fang thought about it, the happier he became, and his laughter became even more wild.
Tang Li stared at Mr. Fang with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Those innocent lives you've killed, the children who have been suffering every moment while being fed medicine, and the poor parents who have lost their children, their suffering will not be in vain!"
"Good deeds will be rewarded in the end. You have committed many evil deeds, and I will make sure you are cut into pieces!"
"If I want you to die, you won't be able to live!"
