Chapter Seventy-Five: Confession



Zhao Bing had no choice but to speak!

He then told everyone he knew.

It turns out that Hao Lizheng's possession of this poison was facilitated by Zhao Bing.

Zhao Bing was able to obtain the poison from the man in black in the back mountain. As for the identity of that man in black...

Zhao Bing only knew that he was from the capital city.

He didn't know anything else.

These words seemed to have no effect on the villagers!

The crisis in the village has not yet been resolved.

General Cui then asked, "Is he in Anping Village or nearby today?"

Zhao Bing shook his head.

That day, the man in black gave him new poison and asked him to find a way to put it in the Xie family's well. After that, he left!

General Cui frowned slightly.

Then she asked, "When will he come to see you again?"

Zhao Bing: "I don't know!"

The men in black would come to see him at irregular intervals, and he didn't know when they would come again.

General Cui, "So how does he look for you each time he comes?"

Zhao Bing called out the cuckoo's call three times.

General Cui understood. He asked Zhao Bing whether he wanted his whole family to die together, or just himself.

Zhao Bing shuddered upon hearing this.

He didn't want to die! But now that his secret had been exposed, he had no way out.

He choked up and exhaled a heavy breath.

He said he wanted to save his family's lives!

General Cui agreed, "Alright, then you must listen to me!"

Zhao Bing knelt down to thank General Cui.

As for what General Cui said to Zhao Bing, the villagers of Anping Village did not know, because he had his personal guards take Zhao Bing to the backyard.

After General Cui finished explaining things to Zhao Bing.

Tian Guoguo also cured the Xie brothers of their poison!

General Cui told them what was going on, and then took Zhao Bing's two sons back to the capital. This was to keep Zhao Bing in check!

Old Lady Tian originally wanted General Cui to stay for one night.

After all, it was already quite late at night.

General Cui said he had important matters to attend to, declined Old Lady Tian's offer, and instructed Yang Qiuci to speak.

"We've increased patrols in the village these past few days!"

Yang Qiuci understood his meaning and immediately nodded in agreement.

He then turned to the villagers and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. The traitor has been found. If we listen to the general, we'll be fine!"

How could the villagers not be afraid?

But since Yang Qiuci has already said that, what else can they do?

Fortunately, General Cui left behind most of his personal guards.

With highly skilled guards protecting them, although everyone was afraid, they weren't that scared anymore!

We can't continue drinking tonight.

Everyone said their goodbyes and went home!

Grandma Tian understood everyone's feelings and didn't try to stop them, politely seeing them off.

Afterwards, have your family clean the kitchen and then bring the remaining food and drinks back to the kitchen.

It was already midnight when the family finished their work.

Apart from the youngest, Tian Guoguo, the injured Wen Shi, and the unwell Old Man Tian, ​​everyone else was exhausted and had backaches.

The Tian family boys were also exhausted.

They had planned to give the gift to their younger sister after they finished their work, but by the time they were done, their sister was already asleep!

They could only place the gift next to their sister's pillow.

When Tian Guoguo woke up the next day, she found five paper packages next to her pillow.

Open them one by one and take a look.

A pair of silver bracelets, a bag of candied fruit, a bag of roasted chestnuts, a bag of red bean cakes, and a bag of dragon beard candy!

The silver bracelet was a gift from Qian Bao.

The rest were gifts from my older brothers.

Don't underestimate these pastries just because they're not worth much; the kids borrowed them from Qian Bao!

They promised to give Qian Bao seven days of work!

This was also after Tian Guoguo learned from her grandmother that the gift was from her brothers, and she originally wanted to thank them...

As it turned out, none of my brothers were home!

Don't ask them where they went.

They're all working for Qian Bao!

Tian Guoguo wanted to go and take a look, but then she overheard her grandmother telling her second uncle to take the half pig that was left over from yesterday to the city to sell.

She immediately stopped in her tracks.

She also wanted to go to the city.

But she wasn't going there for fun; her grandfather needed more herbs to slowly recuperate in order to fully recover.

She had some precious medicinal herbs in her space, but none that her grandfather could use.

So, I have to go buy it!

Besides that, she also had another matter to attend to.

Before selling a pig, you have to clean out its internal organs.

People in this era don't eat pig offal, not because of any taboos, but simply because they find it unpalatable!

Of course, the main problem is that there are too few seasonings.

Even the most skilled chef cannot create delicious dishes without ingredients that can remove fishy smells and enhance flavor.

Old Mrs. Tian and Mrs. He cleaned up the internal organs.

After the two finished tidying up, Tian Guoguo finally came over with her short legs.

Tian Guoguo wanted to discuss moving to the city with her grandmother.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard Grandma instructing my second aunt, "It's getting hot soon, we need to dig a deeper hole to bury him!"

He agreed and was about to leave with the internal organs in his arms.

Tian Guoguo immediately understood that her second aunt was going to throw away the internal organs.

These are all delicious foods!

She hurriedly called out to her second aunt, and at the same time took out a bag of ingredients for braised offal from her cloth bag and stuffed it into her grandmother's hand, saying.

"Milk, let's boil it and eat it!"

Fearing that his grandmother wouldn't understand what he meant, he pointed to the internal organs in his second aunt's arms after he finished speaking.

The old lady understood what her granddaughter meant.

But when she looked at the brightly colored packaging bag in front of her, she couldn't help but frown.

She's lived to this age and has never seen such a packaging bag before. Where did her granddaughter get it?

Tian Guoguo was so flustered that she forgot to open the packaging bag!

Fortunately, there are no outsiders here.

She quickly took the braising sauce from her grandmother, unpacked the outer bag, stuffed it into her cloth bag, and then winked at her grandmother.

This is their own unique method of suggestion.

It means: It was given by the gods!

The old lady thought about how the gods gave her granddaughter food and taught her how to cure illnesses, so it was normal for the gods to give her this now.

She winked at her granddaughter and took the braising spice packet back.

Tian Guoguo suddenly forgot what she wanted to order when she thought of the delicious braised pork, and even started telling her grandmother how to use it.

The old lady also remembered that her granddaughter had added something to the wolf meat hot pot last time, making the otherwise unpalatable wolf meat exceptionally delicious.

She then called on Ms. He to quickly help her clean the pig's internal organs.

Following Guoguo's instructions, they started cooking.

He swallowed hard as he listened, then rolled up his sleeves and got to work!

By the time Tian Lao Er and Tian Lao San returned from the city after selling pork, their pork was almost cooked.

Tian Lao Er excitedly stuffed a bag of silver coins into his mother's hand.

"Mother, this is the money my third brother and I made from selling the pigs. It totals 1 tael with 367 coins left over. Please count it."

Tian Guoguo was standing on a small stool next to the stove, giving instructions to her grandmother. When she heard her second uncle's words, she was subconsciously stunned.

Ah, she's so engrossed in eating that she's forgotten her business!

Her little brows furrowed, and suddenly the pork offal in the pot didn't taste so good anymore!

Old Mrs. Tian packed up the purse her son had given her, scolding him irritably, "What are you counting? Don't I trust my own son?"

Then, open the pot lid…

The enticing aroma of meat instantly filled the air, and everyone present couldn't help but sniff. It smelled so good!

The fragrance wafts for miles.

The Qian family next door also quickly smelled the odor, and the four brothers who were working in the middle of the day had no motivation to continue working.

They quickly dropped their brooms and ran back!

Qian Bao and his brothers were also drawn over by the fragrance.

Needless to say, everyone ate until their bellies were round at lunchtime.
