Chapter 49 Fight

After Chang Lin made up an excuse to send Xu Qing away, he walked towards the old man's room angrily.

He kicked the door open suddenly, which scared the old man. His heart trembled violently and felt a pang of pain.

The elderly are old, but they can't stand being frightened.

Chang Lin asked bluntly, "What's going on? You were given hallucinogenic drugs. What did you feed the horses? All the horses are exhausted. How can you use this?"

The old man was surprised. "That's impossible. The herbs I choose have never been wrong. No matter whether it is taken by humans or animals, no one has ever had diarrhea."

Chen Hu and the other two, who had already known the news, also came outside the door. When they heard the old man's explanation, Fang Lei and Huang Dacheng were both startled and looked at Chen Hu hurriedly, asking him with their eyes what to do.

Chen Hu was the one responsible for drugging the horses. Fang Lei told him that the old man had fed the horses something. Although Chen Hu didn't know what they were planning, he guessed it was definitely not a good thing, so he just grabbed a handful of croton seeds and put them into the trough. No matter what the horse ate, it would be able to defecate cleanly.

Chen Hu showed no sign of panic. He said with a worried expression, "Sir Chang, the horses in the Governor's Mansion are fed with fine feed and are very delicate. Although they look fat and strong, they are still too fragile compared to wild animals. If you rashly feed them unclean food, their bodies will definitely not be able to withstand it."

When Chang Lin heard this, he found it indeed made sense.

Can the horses raised in the Governor's Mansion compare with the wild beasts outside?

Of course not.

It is normal for horses to have difficulty adapting to wild vegetables and weeds as they are delicate bodies.

Not to mention horses, it’s the same with humans.

Rich people who eat fine food every day will also get diarrhea if they occasionally eat wild vegetables and wheat bran that poor people commonly eat.

Even non-toxic wild vegetables and wheat bran can cause such a strong reaction in people who are not used to them, let alone toxic herbs?
The old man finally reacted at this time and sighed heavily in regret.

Why didn't he consider this?
If he had known this, he would have ground the herbs into powder and added it to the feed. The horses would have eaten the familiar feed, and their stomachs would not have had such a big reaction.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret now.

Chang Lin also sighed and said, "Forget it. That kid was lucky this time. Old man Hong, I won't punish you this time. You should think of another way quickly. If you make a mistake again next time, you know the consequences."

The old man shuddered all over, his face turned pale, and he said in fear: "Sir, I will never fail again."

Chang Lin snorted coldly and was too lazy to say more to him.

Chen Hu and the other two looked at each other, all of them with excitement in their eyes.

The three of them quietly left and came to a secluded place, only then did they dare to laugh out loud.

"Chen Hu, did you see Chang Lin's face? His face was as black as Bao Gong's. And that old man, his face was so pale with fear, like a ghost. It really made me laugh to death."

"I didn't expect the effect to be so good! Yesterday Chang Lin was still calling him old gentleman in a friendly manner, but today he called him old man Hong. If he makes the mistake again, I don't know what to call him."

"Chen Hu, what are we going to do next?"

Chen Hu nodded heavily: "Do it, we must continue to do it. Until Chang Lin completely loses confidence in him."

"it is good!"

After the three of them finished their discussion, they continued to follow.

……

After nightfall, the old man secretly knocked on Chang Lin's door.

Chang Lin opened the door and saw that it was him, so he let him in.

Chang Lin drank his tea slowly and asked, "Why, have you come up with an idea?"

The old man smiled proudly and said, "Sir, this time it will be absolutely safe." "Oh? Tell me about it."

Hearing the old man's confident words, Chang Lin immediately became interested.

The old man said, "You can invite him to the city to enjoy the lotus in a few days. When the time comes, push him into the water, and then I will dive in and drown him. Then others will just think that he accidentally fell into the water and drowned. If I do it myself, it will be foolproof."

"you?"

Chang Lin looked at his hunched body and sparse teeth. It would not be surprising if he fell to the ground and never got up again because of his dying body.

"Can it be done?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Your Excellency may not know that I was born in the outlaws' family. I have done so many robberies and plunders that I cannot count them on one hand. I am also very good at swimming. But it was only after I got older and entered the dark cooking world that I have lived a peaceful life for a few years."

Chang Lin knew that the dark culinary world was full of hidden talents, not just chefs, but people from all walks of life, including quite a few robbers.

These people usually roam around and have no fixed place to stay, so the dark culinary world gathers them together and uses them for their own purposes.

Moreover, many people in the dark cuisine world are originally from Liangshanpo, and consider themselves Liangshan heroes, so they naturally have close contacts with this kind of outlaws.

Chang Lin nodded and said, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't let me down again."

"I understand, old man."

……

The trio met again to exchange information with each other.

Fang Lei said, "The kid surnamed Xu hasn't been active lately. Apart from cooking, he rarely goes out on weekdays. And I always feel like he seems to have noticed me."

Huang Dacheng asked, "Were you seen by him?"

"He probably can't see me. I always stay far away. To me, he is just a shadow. So he should be the same to me."

Fang Lei said that he also deliberately hid in a corner where the boy couldn't see him, so normally it would be impossible to find him.

Only occasionally, occasionally he would find that the young man surnamed Xu would turn his head to look towards him, and exactly in the corner where he was hiding.

Fang Lei already felt a little guilty, and now he felt something was wrong.

Huang Dacheng heard what he said and comforted him: "Don't think too much, it's probably just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, it's just a coincidence."

"That's right." Fang Lei had no choice but to say this, comforting himself in his heart.

"How's the old man doing?" Chen Hu asked.

Huang Dacheng said seriously, "It's a bit strange. The old man's recent actions are not right."

The two of them became nervous when they heard this and asked, "What's going on?"

"He always runs outside the Governor's Mansion, and he is always wet when he comes back. It hasn't rained outside these days, so where did the water come from?"

Fang Lei asked: "He went swimming in the river?"

Huang Dacheng nodded and said, "That's possible, but shouldn't he be trying to kill the kid named Xu? How could he have the leisure time to go swimming?"

When Chen Hu and Fang Lei heard this, they also felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't grasp the key point and couldn't help scratching their heads.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a clear voice coming from the side.

"Who wants to kill me?"
