Chapter 162 - 162 How Could He Say It Out Loud!
A relatively gentle approach? Instead of killing?!
Lu Ze was someone who had just brought people to drag the corpses of the enemy to lure the wolves into ambushing the enemy. Now, he was asking him to be gentle instead of killing people…
How could he be so hypocritical?!
!!
“Then according to you, what kind of gentle method should we use to deal with this matter?!” Pei Qian suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Lu Ze with a smile.
“There’s this.”
Lu Ze didn’t respond, but Lin Suisui had already taken out a small medicine bottle and handed it to Pei Qian. Meeting his scrutinizing gaze, she smiled guiltily. “Ahem, medicine that can make people sleep for a day or two.”
“Madam Liu, I remember that you’ve always said that you’re a doctor who saves the dying and helps the injured!”
Pei Qian looked at the palm-sized white porcelain bottle in front of him. When he looked up at Lin Suisui again, he was amused by her timid look as she quickly hid behind Lu Ze.
Would a person who saved the dead and helped the injured carry such a thing with her?!
“There’s a saying that doctors and poisons are inseparable! Besides, in order to save more lives, I naturally have to understand the composition of these poisons!”
Lin Suisui shrank behind Lu Ze and stuck her head out slightly. She met Pei Qian’s gaze as she replied confidently, “Besides, is this the time to be conflicted?!
“You should get busy first. If you delay any longer, we’ll miss dinner!”
It was best to do this sooner rather than later!
What if the northern barbarians attacked their refugee camp tonight?! Wouldn’t there be endless trouble if they left these soldiers alive?!
“Alright, let’s settle the matter at hand first. We’ll deal with them one by one!”
Pei Qian snorted and left with the bottle of medicine without looking back!
“Could he have guessed it?!” Seeing Pei Qian leave angrily, Lin Suisui carefully crawled out from behind Lu Ze. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and asked Lu Ze worriedly.
“He has no evidence.” Lu Ze raised his hand and rubbed the top of Lin Suisui’s head to reassure her. “So even if he guesses that you prepared this bottle of medicine for him long ago, he can’t do anything to you for the time being!”
“It’s not like I prepared it just for him. It’s just better to be prepared!” Lin Suisui chuckled and didn’t say anything else. Then, she pulled Lu Ze to help check if there was anything wrong with the herbs that had just been sent over.
She didn’t know if it was because the patrol camp wanted them to let down their guard, but these herbs and ointments were actually useful. There was nothing wrong with the herbs, and she had also carefully checked the ointment to treat their injuries.
However, that was indeed the case. These herbs would eventually be used on those injured people. If there was really a problem with the herbs, from a cold-blooded and heartless perspective, it would help Pei Qian ease the burden!
The other party definitely wouldn’t do such a thing!
Therefore, the most likely thing the other party would tamper with was rations!
Thinking of this, Lin Suisui stood up again and quickly walked to the tent where the rations were stored with Lu Ze. She checked the rice that had just been transported over and piled at the side.
With one look, she really discovered a problem.
Half of the rice here was actually inedible moldy rice!
Even the remaining edible food had traces of being soaked in water!
If this food was eventually distributed to the refugees in the refugee camp, the consequences would be…
“What a good plan!” Lin Suisui gritted her teeth. If there were someone else guarding the refugee camp this time, or if they hadn’t discovered so many flaws previously, then…
Then, the people who sent food in could mix this problematic food into the good food that the refugee camp already had! Then, even if something happened and Pei Qian wanted to pursue the matter…
These people would probably think of a way to eliminate the evidence and prevent future trouble!
“We have to get someone to inform Pei Qian.” Lin Suisui blinked and turned to walk out of the tent. She instructed the soldier guarding the door in a low voice, “Please go to the tent and ask Mr. Pei what to do with the rations sent by the patrol camp.”
Lin Suisui thought for a moment and stopped the soldier who was about to turn around and leave. She added with a smile, “Don’t forget to ask Mr. Pei for five taels of silver as a reward.”
Not long after the soldier left, they saw Qian He hurriedly bring people over.
Qian He didn’t let anyone else enter. Instead, he came in alone to see Lin Suisui and Lu Ze. Then, he checked the situation of the rations with them. After that, he couldn’t help but scold the enemy for being vicious.
However, now wasn’t the time to consider this. As Qian He instructed people to strengthen the defense of the ration tent, he turned around and went back to report to Pei Qian.
After they were done here, Lin Suisui and Lu Ze didn’t stay any longer and returned to their tent.
Recently, the refugee camp hadn’t been peaceful. Mrs. Luo and the others tried their best not to go out. It was also because of this that the people who stayed at home were always worried about the others who often had to go out to do things.
Seeing that Lin Suisui and the others had returned safely, Mrs. Luo finally smiled and quickly began to prepare dinner.
Lin Suisui went to visit Yuan Niang. In the past two days, because they had to go out, Little White could only stay in the carriage! However, Little White was no longer a child that could be locked in a carriage. Fortunately, it only came out for a walk and didn’t run out of the tent.
For some reason, it liked to crawl into Yuan Niang’s ox cart and play with her for the entire day.
Perhaps it was because it was rare to see a cub even weaker than it, but Little White was very patient with An’er.
At first, the women were a little worried, but after observing for a few days, they could basically leave the woman to Little White!
Lin Suisui was like a mother who had just returned from work. The first thing she did when she returned home was to go to the neighbor next door and bring back her cub who refused to come back!
“Madam Liu, if, I mean if, the situation is irreversible, can you take An’er with you?!” Although Yuan Niang had been recuperating in the ox cart and hadn’t left, she still knew a little about what was going on outside.
For example, the situation in the refugee camp was already dangerous and could collapse at any time.
