Chapter 1182 The Chief Elder is such a good person!
Xiao Dan came to his senses and hurried forward.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, it's not like that, my dad isn't dead yet!"
With her around, Jiang Lianzhu doesn't have to say anything more.
Zhao Biaotou's last sentence resolved all the doubts, and there was no need to ask any more questions.
As for why no bandits came looking for him, well, that was probably because there were only two or three kittens left in this group of bandits, and they didn't dare to come at all. The most likely possibility was that they had already scattered.
The discussion among the crowd was already in full swing.
Everyone says that this guy surnamed Zhao is so cruel!
He actually sold out his colleagues to the horse thieves!
Zhao Biaotou was awakened by a beating from Luo Laozhang.
But he was confused and at a loss.
If we were to describe his psychology at that moment, it would definitely be the famous three philosophical questions.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?
Truth serum pills can cause a person to temporarily lose self-control, during which they will have no idea what is happening, but they can still remember what happened before, including the moment the pill enters their throat.
Looking at the angry and hateful expressions of the Luo family, as well as the contemptuous and disgusted expressions all around, Zhao Biaotou was so flustered that he couldn't express it in words. He shouted:
"What did you give me to eat? What did I say? Master Huang, I, I was just confused for a moment. I am willing to compensate you, Master Huang..."
This guy is quite cunning.
If Jiang Lianzhu hadn't insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter, I'm afraid everyone would have thought that that was how things were and nothing more.
And he has been trying to divert everyone's attention.
Jiang Lianzhu was too lazy to talk to him anymore and said to the county magistrate:
"Did you hear that? I'll leave these people in your hands now. I hope you can conduct a thorough investigation as quickly as possible."
County Magistrate Huang nodded repeatedly.
"I understand everything. Don't worry, Elder! I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
He immediately ordered all the officers to put shackles on Zhao Biaotou, Hu Laoban, and Wu Kuaitou, and take them back to the county government office.
He also ordered people to seal up their property and prepare for compensation.
He invited Jiang Lianzhu to dinner again, but was rejected by the latter.
County Magistrate Huang did not insist any further. The Elder of the Divine Medicine Sect was indeed very powerful, but he was also a little intimidating. If he revealed his secrets to him while interacting with him, it would be embarrassing.
The matter was settled and everyone dispersed.
But everyone understood one thing: the Zhenyuan Escort Agency now had a powerful backer, and no one in the entire county would dare to look down on them anymore.
Jiang Lianzhu was respectfully invited into the escort agency.
Since she was visiting relatives, she had to stay for one night before leaving, so Jiang Lianzhu was not in a hurry.
Mr. Luo arranged to receive the distinguished guest with the highest standard of treatment, so no need to mention it.
Xiao Dan still had something on her mind.
"Elder, you said before that my grandfather and Xiao Zhuo were seriously injured. Is that true or false?"
Jiang Lianzhu smiled.
"Of course it's fake. There's nothing wrong with your grandfather and Xiao Zhuo. I was just trying to scare that Zhao guy. Why did you take it seriously?"
Xiaodan:
"But, you are the elder. What if that Zhao really calls a doctor and sees through your story?"
Jiang Lianzhu:
"If he sees through me, I'll just say I was wrong. So what? Doesn't that mean he doesn't have to pay compensation?"
"But……"
Xiao Dan was dumbfounded. Wouldn't that be a huge loss of face? Is this okay?
This elder of her own family really surprised her.
Jiang Lianzhu patted her shoulder.
"Xiao Dan, remember, in this world, improving yourself is always the most important thing. As for other people's opinions, they really don't matter. Do you understand? Others value you not because you value face, but because you have strength. Therefore, we must not be burdened by our image!"
Xiao Dan nodded, not quite understanding.
That day, before nightfall, County Magistrate Huang personally brought in the compensation: a full eight thousand taels of silver! No discount at all.
Mr. Luo handled it personally and was a little trembling all over.
It would take them several years of hard work to earn so much money!
It really feels a bit hot!
He even wanted to step back a little to feel more at ease.
Instead, it was County Magistrate Huang who advised him,
"Master Luo, just accept it without worry. This is to compensate you for the medicine, and also for the assassination of your group by Captain Zhao. Didn't Xiao Dan mention that two people died and another was seriously injured? All this costs money, so take it!"
Even so, it wouldn't cost that much silver. However, after County Magistrate Huang said this, Mr. Luo felt much more at ease.
…
The next day, Jiang Lianzhu brought Xiaodan back to Qingyuan Mountain.
Go find Cassia seeds first.
You don't need to go to him for ordinary medicinal herbs, but the herbs for refining Dihu Dan are now the most valued in the sect, without a doubt, so its distribution is personally controlled by the chief elder Cassiae.
“Elder Cassiae, Elder Cassiae!”
Jiang Lianzhu ran in screaming.
"Hey, I'm an old man, but I'm still not deaf. You don't have to be so loud!"
Cassia seed said slowly,
"Why are you coming to me, an old man, instead of talking to people your own age? Do you have any questions?"
Jiang Lianzhu:
"I have no doubts at the moment. I'm here to request the medicinal ingredients for the Daigodan. How many do you have?"
Cassia looked at her,
"Why are you worrying about how many copies there are? Also, the Dihu Pill is short of Diyin Grass right now, so I can't give it to you. Didn't I tell you that?"
"I have the ground yin grass!"
Jiang Lianzhu raised her head proudly, "I want something else, I don't need the ground yin grass!"
"You have?"
Cassia was a little confused, "How did you get it? I hope you didn't make a mistake?"
Jiang Lianzhu flipped her hand and threw a handful of them onto the table.
"Who are you looking down on? Look, if this isn't ground yin grass, what is it?"
Cassiae took it and looked at it carefully, and could not help but let out a long "hiss".
"This is indeed Earth Yin Grass, and it's quite old. Where did you get it from? Oh, never mind, it's not important. With this Earth Yin Grass, you can continue to refine the Di Hu Pill. How many do you want? Well, if possible, you can sell a few of the Earth Yin Grass to the sect, and the sect will give you contribution points."
This bunch contains fifteen plants, which can be used to make fifteen portions of raw materials.
Jiang Lianzhu:
"We already have enough ingredients for the Dihu Pill that the sect needs, so why do we need the Diyin Grass?"
She also wants to practice more and strive to succeed as soon as possible.
Cassia seed:
"The ones we have left are for those who are about to break through in the near future. But there are also some people who are not far from breaking through. They also need it. Wouldn't it be better if we could prepare some in advance?"
The Chief Elder is such a good person!
Jiang Lianzhu thought about it,
"But if I succeed in refining it, I can also give the Dihu Pill to the sect. Wouldn't they have it then?"
"Ho ho!"
Cassiae chuckled twice, "Lianzhu, I know you want to refine the Dihu Pill as soon as possible, but I think it's better to prepare some first."
