The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181: Government Official Poisoned (6)

Of course, what Yang Ruxin did not mention was that she visited Quanzhou mainly because it boasted the largest sea shipping port in the country. The Chu Family and the Luo Family were among the earliest maritime aristocratic families. To expand overseas trade, it was inevitable to have contact with these two families.

She certainly hadn’t forgotten that Yong Cang was supposed to cooperate with her. In matters concerning overseas business, she naturally wouldn’t rely solely on the other party’s fleet.

However, all these would have to be approached gradually, as it would probably take a few months before Yong Cang could return.

Originally, she had promised to go to the street tonight to enjoy the lantern festival, but before everyone had left the house, Fang Dehua sent Xie Zhanfei to fetch Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng, as there was something that required their assistance.

”Godmother Aunt Feng, maybe you shouldn’t go out tonight,” Yang Ruxin knew that something must have happened on the other side, or else Fang Dehua would not have urgently sent Arrest Officer Xie over. But if they didn’t go and let her mother and the others take a bunch of little tykes out, she couldn’t rest easy. Of course, Gu Qingheng was also concerned, and wouldn’t feel at ease even if there were people following them.

Luckily, everyone knew going out was dangerous. Dong Wenxiu, the Feng Family, and Yuan Mengzhu didn’t have much interest in the lantern festival. They only wanted to go out for the children’s sake. Now that Xinxin and the others were worried, they decided not to go either.

Nevertheless, Yang Ruxin still had people buy many lanterns to entertain everyone at home.

Xie Zhanfei took Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng back to the estate they had visited previously in the suburbs.

”Xinxin, Qingheng, you’ve finally arrived,” Fang Dehua had been extremely busy these past days, to the point his beard had grown out. Upon seeing Yang Ruxin and the others, he immediately showed a look of joy and pulled Yang Ruxin toward a room by the side, ”You have to see them first...”

Inside the room lay two government officials, their bodies turning purple, clearly suffering from deep poisoning. And next to them sat two others who also looked pale, though their poisoning seemed less severe.

Without a second thought, Yang Ruxin stuffed detoxification pills into the mouths of the two conscious government officials, then prepared to check on the two who were more seriously affected - since there was breathing motion in their chests, they were likely still alive.

Before she could act, however, Xiaolun darted forward and bit down on one of the government official’s thumbs. It was a real bite, blood gushed out immediately, all black and agonizing to watch.

Xiaoyin bit down on the thumb of the other official.

As the black blood continued to ooze out, everyone’s faces grew grim. But after about a quarter of an hour, the color of the black blood began to lighten. After a while longer, the blood color finally returned to normal, and the two men’s complexions began to recover considerably.

Only then did Xiaolun and Xiaoyin let go of their grip. Xiaolun was particularly excited; it had been a long time since she encountered such a potent poison.

Yang Ruxin took two more medicine pills and placed them into the mouths of the two government officials, finally breathing a sigh of relief. She looked at Fang Dehua, ”It’s alright now.”

”Thank goodness we have you,” Fang Dehua also breathed a sigh of relief. Those government officials had been following him for many years, and he truly did not wish for them to come to harm.

”Godfather, what exactly happened?” Gu Qingheng finally asked.

”Two hours ago, the inspectors here discovered an underground chamber...” Fang Dehua sighed, ”These two went down first, and all they managed to report back was ’poisonous’ before going silent. The other two went down covering their noses and mouths to drag them out...”
