Chapter 437 Fighting Poison with Poison
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly, squinted her eyes at the people in front of her, and said with disdain: "I also said that I gave you poison at the beginning, but now my body is fine. Do you know why?"
"Then why else could there be?"
Liu Quezi said dissatisfiedly, "It must be because you took the antidote in advance on purpose, so nothing happened offline. What? Do you think that drinking all the medicine in the porcelain bottle can cover up the fact that you harmed the land? I tell you, it's not that easy."
As Liu Guizi spoke, he waved the thing in his hand and looked at Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao didn't care and slowly smiled at him: "That's because this is not what I gave you in the first place, so the things in it are not poisonous."
When everyone heard Xu Miaomiao say this, some of them were slightly stunned. Liu Quezi's eyes turned again and again, and some did not dare to speak. Wu Zhuang on the side took the lead and pointed at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, what do you mean by saying this? After you gave this bottle to the village chief, the village chief has been keeping it carefully. No one has contacted it since then, except me. Every time I watched the village chief carefully sprinkle the potion on the fields, how come you say this now, doesn't it mean that the things inside were replaced by me and Village Chief Wang?"
Wu Zhuang looked at Xu Miaomiao with some dissatisfaction.
All the previous respect for Xu Miaomiao disappeared.
Xu Miaomiao did not have the time to argue with the person in front of her. Instead, she said, "There was indeed no problem with the medicine I gave you at the beginning. It's just that someone replaced the medicine later. That's your problem. This is just ordinary water, not the medicine I gave you at the beginning."
Xu Miaomiao spoke coldly.
The villagers around were all shocked when they heard this. They looked at Xu Miaomiao with scrutiny, as if they didn't believe what she said, but they were also whispering about whether what Xu Miaomiao said was true or not.
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly, threw the porcelain bottle on the ground, and said, "Since you don't know who the real murderer is, then I will defend him for you."
Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and stepped forward to stand next to Liu Quezi. Liu Quezi was visibly nervous and shook his head. He pointed at Xu Miaomiao and said, "How can an outsider like you interfere in our village's affairs? The porcelain bottle has been kept by the village chief and Wu Zhuang. How could anyone have the opportunity to do such a thing? I think you didn't cure the fields and you are deliberately using this as an excuse. We have seen many people like you. Get out of Wangjia Village right now."
Liu Quezi immediately spoke angrily, and this abnormal behavior of Liu Quezi made the village chief Wang next to him speechless. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Quezi and said, "Liu Quezi, after all, I am the village chief. Now I haven't said anything, but you have been inciting the villagers here. What do you mean? Do you dislike Xu Niangzi, or do you dislike me as the village chief?"
Village chief Wang waved the cane in his hand loudly and looked at the man in front of him with dissatisfaction. Although Liu Kuizi was arrogant and domineering, he was raised under Village chief Wang after all. Seeing that Village chief Wang suddenly got angry, he became cautious for a moment and did not dare to speak.
Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows upon seeing this, and ignored Liu Quezi. Instead, she continued to speak, "In fact, it is very easy to find the real murderer."
Everyone was still a little confused by Xu Miaomiao's words.
"Madam Xu, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand what you are saying?"
Wu Zhuang on the side spoke immediately.
"It's very simple." Xu Miaomiao said as she squatted down and picked up the rotten corn embryo. She waved it and looked at Wu Zhuang before saying, "Look at this corn embryo. It's already rotten like this. It's obvious that someone has poisoned it. The poison on it is the original substance in my porcelain bottle, so the porcelain bottle now only contains water."
"So what you mean is." Wu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, widened his eyes in horror, and remained silent.
"Yes, someone poured all the contents into the ground this time and filled it with water to cover it up."
When everyone heard what Xu Miaomiao said, they all started to whisper. Aunt Li on the side was the first to stand up in dissatisfaction. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Xu Miaomiao, what nonsense are you talking about? Everyone here lives on those two pieces of land. Who would waste that land and their own money?"
What Aunt Li said was indeed true. Xu Miaomiao came to help them manage the land for free. Now that there was a method, these people knew to provide it carefully and do as Xu Miaomiao said to treat their land. In this way, they would be able to harvest a large amount of silver next year. Naturally, no one in the village would do these despicable means to destroy their own land.
But Xu Miaomiao didn't take it seriously. Instead, she tilted her head and said, "We'll know if there are such people in your village once we check."
"How do you test it?"
Village chief Wang stepped forward and spoke.
When Liu Quezi heard this, he immediately panicked and raised his eyebrows and said, "It's obvious that she didn't cure the land properly, and now she wants to blame us. Let's drive her out quickly."
Liu Quezi's abnormal behavior naturally attracted everyone's attention. When he saw everyone starting to talk about him, Liu Quezi silently shut his mouth and dared not speak.
"Okay, then let's do as you say, Madam Xu." Wu Zhuang pretended to say, "But do you have any way to verify this matter?"
"It's very simple." Xu Miaomiao spoke and took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms. This poison and the porcelain bottle were made by him together. Ever since he went to Liang Country, he knew the method of fighting poison with poison. In many cases, fighting poison with poison can easily resolve those poisons that are difficult to resolve. However, the method of fighting poison with poison also has disadvantages. The amount used is very important, so he developed this fluorescent powder. As long as the powder reaches, the amount of poison used can be seen, emitting a faint yellow glow.
He had been keeping these things in a matching set in the space, and they were all covered with dust. He thought he would never need them in his life, but unexpectedly he would be able to use them today. Xu Miaomiao gave a bitter smile, and everyone stared at the porcelain bottle in his hand and looked at Xu Miaomiao with some disapproval. They really couldn't guess what Xu Miaomiao meant.
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Xu Miaomiao stepped forward and spoke.
