Chapter 165: Stealing a Chicken but Losing the Rice

Shi Lin was naturally very grateful.

"Xiao Zhang, this is really too much trouble for you."

"No trouble, not at all. Brother, you hurry up and eat. I'll go to the house to watch." The boy called Xiao Zhang said with a smile, and then walked into the house.

Shi Lin subconsciously looked into the house, with a little trepidation in his heart.

After all, the place where Lu Dingtai boiled medicine was clearly stipulated, and no strangers were allowed to enter.

Now that Xiao Zhang walked in, it was actually a violation of the regulations, and Shi Lin was naturally a little nervous.

But when he saw that Xiao Zhang walked in without any extra movements, sat on the stool in a proper manner, and carefully observed the fire, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Shi Lin secretly laughed at his nerves for being too nervous. Although Xiao Zhang had not been in the martial arts school for a long time, his background had been carefully investigated, and he could only be admitted after confirming that there was no problem. How could such a person be a bad person?

So Shi Lin squatted on the ground and ate his meal with peace of mind.

The two of them, one in the house and one outside, were chatting while eating.

"Brother, when do you think the master will wake up?"

"Who knows, but the master is a scholar with profound skills, so he will definitely be fine."

"That's true." Xiao Zhang said with a smile, but his attention was always on Shi Lin outside the house.

When he lowered his head to eat, Xiao Zhang lowered his hand calmly, and a small medicine bag slipped down his sleeve into his hand.

Then he stood up, as if to observe whether the medicine in the jar was boiled, and then he bent down and blocked the outside view with his body.

Taking this opportunity, he quickly opened the lid of the jar and was about to throw the small medicine bag in his hand.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind him.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Zhang was frightened and shuddered, but his reaction was not slow, and he immediately planned to hide the small medicine bag in his hand.

But he reacted quickly, and Zhao Ya reacted even faster. He grabbed his wrist in a split second. With a little force, Xiao Zhang cried out in pain.

Zhao Ya took the small medicine bag from him with a cold face, and looked back at Shi Lin who was shaking.

"Go and call Senior Brother Shen and the others."

"Yes... yes!"

Shi Lin was completely panicked.

He was eating just now, and Zhao Ya suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost, and then rushed into the room before he could react, grabbed Xiao Zhang, and searched a small medicine bag from him.

Needless to say, this Xiao Zhang was obviously problematic.

And he became an accomplice.

Thinking of this, Shi Lin wanted to slap himself a few times.

But it was too late to regret now, he could only run forward and inform Shen Dao and the others.

Zhao Ya here neatly removed Xiao Zhang's joints, even his jaw, to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide again.

Shen Dao and his men came very quickly. They rushed into the house almost as soon as they finished dealing with Xiao Zhang.

"What's going on?" Shen Dao asked first.

Zhao Ya raised the small medicine bag in his hand and pointed at Xiao Zhang on the ground.

"He was going to poison Master's medicine, but I caught him."

Shen Dao, Miao Shaocheng, and Xu De's faces changed instantly.

Fortunately, Zhao Ya found out. If this guy had succeeded, Master would have been poisoned to death without knowing it.

Miao Shaocheng was furious. He rushed forward and picked up Xiao Zhang on the ground.

"Tell me, who ordered you to come?"

Xiao Zhang was speechless, of course, because his chin had been removed by Zhao Ya.

At this time, Zhao Ya came forward, patted the excited Miao Shaocheng gently, asked him to make way, and then squatted down and gently pushed his chin.

With a click, Xiao Zhang's chin was pushed back again.

Then Zhao Ya asked, "Speak up. If you don't want to suffer, then tell me everything you know."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang was silent.

Shi Lin, who had been uneasy, became anxious when he saw him like this. He knew that he was responsible for the consequences. If he couldn't explain it clearly, he would be doomed.

So he shouted, "Zhang Jia, at this time, are you still going to resist? Speak quickly."

But Xiao Zhang sneered when he heard it, glanced at Shi Lin and said, "Speak, what? Didn't you instruct me?"

Shi Lin's face turned pale, and he shouted anxiously and stammered.

"You...you can't slander me!"

"Brother, you should admit it at this time." Xiao Zhang put on a reckless expression and started to bite randomly.

Naturally, all the people present knew that what he said was not true. If Shi Lin really wanted to harm Lu Dingtai, he could do it himself, so why would he go through so much trouble to go through him?

But the thief's bite was deep into the bone, and Xiao Zhang clearly didn't want to say it, and everyone was actually helpless for a while.

At this time, Zhao Ya suddenly said: "In fact, I can guess it even if you don't say it. The only one who can do such a thing as secretly poisoning and trying to kill my master should be Yuan Chenfeng, right?"

Zhang Jia sneered repeatedly, "You can say who it is, anyway, it was Shi Lin who ordered me."

Shi Lin was limp as mud, his eyes were full of despair, and he could no longer speak.

Zhao Ya glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Shi Lin, what is your relationship with Lao Liu? Why did you replace him after he had diarrhea?"

Shi Lin was shocked and said hurriedly, "Brother Liu and I are cousins ​​and we are both in the same martial arts hall, so we have the best relationship. This time he got into trouble, I volunteered to help him, who would have thought that this would happen."

After listening, Zhao Ya turned around and looked at Zhang Jia, "So you guessed this and gave Lao Liu the drug?"

This time Zhang Jia did not deny it, "Yes, so what?"

Then he grinned at Shi Lin, "Brother, just admit it. If you hadn't instructed me to give Lao Liu the drug, you wouldn't have been able to do this job of looking after the medicine."

"I... I'll kill you, you bastard who talks nonsense!" Shi Lin's eyes were red with anger, and he was about to rush up to hit Zhang Jia.

Miao Shaocheng kicked him to the ground and said with murderous intent: "Behave yourself, we'll settle your account later."

Shi Lin immediately became obedient and collapsed on the ground without moving.

At this time, Zhao Ya looked at Zhang Jia with a domineering face and couldn't help laughing, "How much money did Yuan Chenfeng give you? That you are so ready to die?"

"Humph!" Zhang Jia snorted coldly and didn't answer at all.

"Let me guess, with Yuan Chenfeng's hypocritical character, he would definitely not come forward in person for such a thing, but sent his men to contact you. His men must have promised you a generous reward, enough for your family to live out the rest of their lives, so you took the risk and would rather die than speak, right?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

The expression on Zhang Jia's face became a little unnatural.

Zhao Ya pretended not to know and continued, "But have you ever thought about it? Yuan Chenfeng can betray even his fellow martial artists, so why would he care about this agreement with you? Believe it or not, after you die, even your family will die with you, and no one will survive."

Zhang Jia's forehead was sweating, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Impossible, he promised me in person."

"Does a personal promise count? And once you die, who will know about the agreement between you?"

Zhang Jia finally collapsed, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, it was indeed Yuan Chenfeng who sent someone to contact me and promised me a very generous reward, so I did this."

After hearing his personal admission, there was a commotion in the room.

Even Shen Dao, who had a good temper, was completely angry at this time.

Miao Shaocheng cursed even more.

"Yuan Chenfeng, you are such a mean and despicable person, I fucked you."

At this time, Zhang Jia also changed his previous arrogance and said with a pleading face: "Little Master Uncle, I know that I have done something irreparable. I don't ask to live, but my family is innocent."

Before he finished speaking, Miao Shaocheng cursed angrily: "Fuck you, who is your little master uncle?"

He rushed forward and kicked Zhang Jia out with one kick.

Miao Shaocheng was so powerful, and this kick was kicked out with hatred, so after landing, Zhang Jia vomited blood repeatedly and was about to die.

Miao Shaocheng was still not satisfied.

"Now you know that you are a member of the martial arts hall. When you drugged my master before, why didn't you think that we were your uncles?"

Zhao Ya didn't stop him.

Because if this kind of person is not killed, there will be endless troubles.

He walked close to Zhang Jia and saw that his lips moved slightly, his face was full of pleading, and it seemed that he had something else to say.

Zhao Ya squatted down and said, "If you have anything else to say, just say it."

"I... I know I deserve to die... but my family is innocent... please... please..."

Before he finished the last word, Zhang Jia died.

Miao Shaocheng beside him also heard it and asked, "Xiao Ya, this guy's family..."

"Don't worry about it. If I'm not mistaken, when he took action tonight, Yuan Chenfeng had already sent people to kill his family." Zhao Ya stood up and said.

Everyone was shocked when they heard it, but they felt that Yuan Chenfeng could really do such a thing.

It's all because Zhang Jia believed Yuan Chenfeng's words and ended up like this.

Although Shi Lin's suspicion was cleared, it was obviously not suitable for him to stay in the pharmacy.

Someone took him away.

After that, Zhao Ya decided that the matter of boiling medicine for the master would be done by his brothers and sisters in turn, and no longer by others.

At the same time, this storm should be suppressed and the scope of influence should not be expanded as much as possible.

After all, now is a sensitive period. If people are panicked because of this matter, it will be very detrimental to the stability of the martial arts school.

This storm passed just like that.

Although the drug should not have been successfully administered, for safety reasons, this jar of medicine cannot be used.

Zhao Ya and the other four took the herbs and boiled another jar.

This time, the four did not leave, but watched from the side.

Taking this opportunity, Xu De asked, "Xiao Ya, how did you find this Zhang Jia?"

"Yes, how did you know that he was going to drug the master?" Miao Shaocheng also asked.

Zhao Ya smiled, "In fact, I was not sure at the beginning that someone was going to do it. When I came to the pharmacy, I found that someone had changed. The previous Lao Liu was replaced by Shi Lin. According to Shi Lin, Lao Liu had diarrhea suddenly and couldn't even get out of bed, so he came to take over."

"I had doubts at the time. After all, Lao Liu is an old man in the martial arts school. Although his strength is not high, he is also a second-level martial artist. How could he suddenly have diarrhea?"

"But I didn't find anything unusual about Shi Lin at that time, so I left first, but I always felt something was wrong, so I went to Lao Liu's place, and I found out that the reason he had diarrhea was because someone had given him medicine, which was very clear now."

"There must be someone who secretly planned all this, and this person should have a good relationship with Shi Lin, so he found a way to push him to this position."

"Then I sneaked back to the pharmacy and hid in the dark to observe, and I really found that Zhang Jia was plotting something bad, and you all know what happened next."

After listening to Zhao Ya's explanation, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

It was also thanks to Zhao Ya's carefulness, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"Damn, I thought that although Yuan Chenfeng was a bit bad, he was at least a master who was as famous as the master, and he should have some vision. I didn't expect him to be so despicable." Shen Dao rarely used a dirty word.

"Bah, what qualifications does he have to be as famous as our master? He is just a scumbag." Miao Shaocheng cursed.

Everyone also knew Miao Shaocheng's temper, so they all smiled.

The four brothers waited until the medicine was ready and brought it into the ward before they dispersed.

After Zhao Ya returned to the room, he put the small medicine bag on the table and studied it carefully.

"Ghost snake grass, black willow buds and mercury saltpeter..."

With his understanding of poisons, Zhao Ya distinguished the composition and deduced its efficacy in this way.

After a long time, Zhao Ya raised his head with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Interesting, these herbs are not too rare, but when combined together, they can actually have an effect on a half-step fifth realm warrior."

The reason for this is that Zhao Ya just took a risk and dipped a little medicine powder in his mouth.

Then Zhao Ya felt that the blood and qi in his body became disordered. Although this feeling quickly disappeared under the blessing of the powerful liver talent.

But Zhao Ya still noticed the extraordinary nature of this poison.

You know, since unlocking the kidney, his realm has been slowly improving.

Now the blood exchange is about to succeed, and then it will cross the peak of the fourth realm and reach the half-step fifth realm.

In this case, there is a feeling of being poisoned, so you can imagine how powerful this poison is.

But this is exactly what Zhao Ya is in urgent need of now.

After all, with the poisons Zhao Ya has now, most of them are drugs that can cause intoxication, and they are basically only useful for warriors below the fourth realm. It is difficult to play a role above the fourth realm.

It can be said that Yuan Chenfeng has lost more than he gained this time, but instead gave Zhao Ya a big gift.

Just as Zhao Ya was concentrating on studying the poison he had obtained, Yuan Chenfeng sat in the middle of the Chenfeng Martial Arts Hall and said in a deep voice: "Is everything done?"

"To the master, it's all done."
