Chapter 78 Governor Lin leaves
"We found this in the basement of Bingmasi, where Gu Feng developed the poison."
Qiao Qiqi glanced at Pei Shaoling and explained to Governor Lin, "When we went there, only Yao Lao, who was being used for experiments, was left. While he was conscious, he wrote down this poison prescription."
"oh oh."
Governor Lin nodded in sudden realization, "Then why didn't Yao Lao develop it himself?"
"The old medicine man has been tortured by the poison and has almost died, so he asked us to give this prescription to Mr. Ruan to develop it."
Qiao Qiqi explained softly, "We met Mr. Ruan before in Taiping Town. He is now in the capital."
"Okay, in that case. I will definitely bring this prescription."
Governor Lin carefully folded the prescription and placed it on his chest. "This matter concerns the life and death of the people of Dayong. I have no choice but to take this responsibility."
"Well, then I'll leave it to Governor Lin."
Pei Shaoling spoke weakly to Governor Lin.
Qiao Qiqi stood up and said, "If Governor Lin wants to leave, please wait a moment. I will go and make some food and rations for you to take with you on the road."
Hearing about food, Governor Lin swallowed unconsciously.
For the past six months, he had been living one meal a day and going hungry the next in that dark room. He had indeed not had a normal meal for a long time.
As for the vegetable porridge last night, it was also very hard to eat.
"Okay, that's troublesome!"
Governor Lin no longer refused.
At this time, the official Qin Laoer came up and talked to him about the customs clearance documents.
Qiao Qiqi took a look and went to the backyard of the dilapidated temple with the pots and pans.
Two large pots were set up at the same time, and she picked up the firewood left by the beggars and lit them.
One big pot is for steaming rice, and the other is for stewing soup.
The stew was made with fresh beef from her supermarket.
Soon, the rice and a big pot of beef soup were ready.
After Qiao Qiqi steamed the rice, she made two large baskets of beef buns and white flour steamed buns.
An Lei smelled the fragrance and hurried over to help wash the dishes, then serve the rice and soup.
The second and third branches of the Pei family and the Zhao family smelled the rich beef soup and looked expectant.
However, to their disappointment, Qiao Qiqi did not prepare their portion.
Except for the unconscious Pei Shaoan, all the people from the Pei family's main branch gathered together.
There were also the officials Qin Lao Er and Lin Shishi, each holding a bowl of fragrant white rice in his hands.
The Zhao family members standing by could only close their eyes helplessly as they smelled the aroma of rice and meat.
Aunt Pei's third eyeballs were rolling around, as if she was thinking of some bad idea.
Suddenly, she saw Pei Shaoan wearing official uniform.
She seemed to have caught something and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Sister-in-law, why is your Shaoan wearing the uniform of an official? Tell me, was the previous official killed by you? And where did Pei Shaoming go?"
Only then did Qiao Qiqi notice that the human skin mask on Pei Shaoan's face had fallen off at some point.
At that time in Youzhou City, she was only concerned about helping him get the antidote and didn't care about these details.
The sharp voice of Aunt Pei made everyone present frown.
Qin Lao Er glanced at Governor Lin, frowned, and scolded Aunt Pei, "What are you babbling about? I lent him the clothes he's wearing. What's wrong? Do you have any objections?"
"What about Pei Shaoming? Why is Pei Shaoming gone?"
Aunt Pei asked in a hoarse voice.
"What does it have to do with you? Huh?"
Qin Lao Er glanced at Lin the governor again and was about to scold the talkative woman again.
"Second Qin, where is Boss Yu, the man who escorted the prisoner with you earlier?"
This time, Governor Lin discovered that there were only a few escorting officials left.
If what the lady just said is correct, one of the officers is played by the eldest wife of the Pei family.
He glanced at the expressionless An Twenty-Four and Pei Shaoming.
"Sir, we encountered two giant pythons before, so..."
Qin Lao Er looked embarrassed and spoke vaguely.
Before, Boss Yu and his men died of poisoning, leaving only him. He couldn't say this out loud.
If you say it out loud, there will be trouble.
Governor Lin nodded thoughtfully, "I won't interfere with your escort. You can handle it as you wish."
Governor Lin glanced at Aunt Pei and pointed at Qin Lao Er, "Some people who talk too much will only cause trouble if they stay alive."
"Yes, sir, I understand."
Qin Lao Er nodded and glared at Aunt Pei fiercely.
Aunt Pei was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth and dared not say anything.
Qiao Qiqi, who was standing by, watched their conversation without saying anything.
She didn't want to get involved in these things.
However, what if the second and third branches of the Pei family really caused them trouble.
I will never be soft-hearted!
After giving some instructions to Qin Lao Er, Governor Lin continued to eat the rice in his bowl.
After finishing the meal, Governor Lin said goodbye to everyone, "Thank you all for your hospitality. I will be leaving now."
Pei Shaoling gave An Lei a look.
An Lei said quickly, "Master Lin, we have three horses here. You can take one with you. This way, we can reach the capital sooner."
As he spoke, he walked towards the backyard where the horse was tied.
Governor Lin really lacked a means of transportation at the moment, so he didn't refuse. "Thank you very much."
Soon, An Lei led the horse around to the entrance of the ruined temple.
Qiao Qiqi also packed some of the steamed buns and steamed buns she had just made and handed them to him.
Governor Lin took the dry food and reins, shook his fist at everyone, and then led the horse away.
Only then did Qiao Qiqi return to the dilapidated temple and start cleaning up the dishes.
Seeing Qiao Qiqi starting to clear the dishes, Pei's second uncle called out, "Niece-in-law, where's our meal?"
Qiao Qiqi glanced at him indifferently, then walked towards the backyard with her bowl and chopsticks.
Qin Lao Er, the official standing by, scolded, "Why are you shouting? Your meal will be prepared later when we set off. You won't starve to death if you skip a meal."
Since leaving the Devil Canyon, Qiao Qiqi no longer cooks for the second and third branches of the Pei family and the Zhao family.
Therefore, all their meals were prepared by Qin Laoer himself.
A lot of wild vegetables were put into the very thin porridge.
It was in stark contrast to the meal prepared by Qiao Qiqi and the others.
So, when the official Qin Lao Er distributed the wild vegetable porridge to them in the afternoon, Pei's second uncle got angry.
"I don't accept it. Why can the eldest family eat rice and meat with big mouthfuls, but we can only eat wild vegetable porridge without even salt?"
As he said this, he pretended to throw the bowl in his hand to the ground.
Qin Lao Er looked at him with disdain. "Go ahead and throw it! Who do you think you are? People get their food by themselves. What about you? If you throw your bowl, you won't have to eat for the next few days!"
"You think my cooking isn't tasty? Then you don't have to eat it!"
After saying that, Qin Lao Er didn't even look at him and started distributing wild vegetable porridge to others.
