Chapter 314: Divine Medicine
She was also fed up with Wu Yinfeng’s strong words about forcing Qiao Xiaobao into the scene.
No matter how unbearable and domineering Qiao Xiaobao usually is, it’s too much to involve a child’s life with such venomous language at such a time.
The real issue is confronting Qiao Chang’an, the main culprit!
“What’s the fuss? Sit down and talk nicely.” She spoke as she pulled her small face.
“Is this something that can be discussed calmly? Xiaomai, Qiao Chang’an is responsible for your father’s fractured leg, and he won’t admit it!” Qiao Changkang spoke loudly.
The fight between him and Qiao Chang’an was still ongoing.
Qiao Xiaomai looked over, her brows furrowed tightly, “You two should also stop fighting, can fights solve the problem?”
Both of them were bruised and bloody, she had had enough of their zealous but unattractive performance.
Just as her words settled, someone immediately followed up with a high and husky voice, “Yes, fights will not solve the problem! I, an elderly man, should handle this!”
His strong presence instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Qiao Xiaomai also looked over, her brows furrowing tighter, it was Ma Dongshu.
Instead of scurrying around in the deep mountains, what is he doing at her doorstep?
Laughing cheerfully while stroking his beard, Ma Dongshu walked over saying, “Brother Qiao, I ran into Dami earlier, and he said there was a big commotion at your door, so I invited myself over.”
Qiao Changshun hurriedly welcomed him, “Brother Ma, come sit, come sit. Xiaomai, quickly bring a chair.”
“Oh, no need, no need.” Ma Dongshu dismissed him, pointing at the bloodied Qiao Chang’an and Qiao Changkang in the middle of the brawl, “I’m here to resolve the matter.”
“I wonder what method you may have, Elder Ma?” Qiao Xiaomai asked respectfully.
She called off the fight, but she had no good solutions in mind.
The incident occurred too long ago, there’s no physical evidence, just Qiao Changkang’s sole testimony. If Qiao Chang’an insists on denying it, she would indeed have no other methods.
She originally thought that with the prospect of six hundred taels of silver, Qiao Changkang would come up with a safe method.
Little did she know that his only method was getting him drunk, coaxing.
Ugh, she overestimated the intelligence of the Qiange couple.
Now Ma Dongshu took the initiative to step up, she looked forward to it.
By now, Ma Dongshu had come close. He laughed heartily, drew a white porcelain small bottle from his arms, held it high and asked everyone present, “Do you know what this is?”
Naturally, none of those present knew and they all shook their heads.
He jingled the small bottle in his hand, the smile on his face turned into a solemn look, “This is the legendary Truth Elixir.”
When he mentioned the Truth Elixir, his solemn expression turned mysterious, and his voice became elusive, “Once you eat a pill, your mind will be disoriented, and you will answer whatever is asked, therefore it is called the Truth Elixir.”
“All the gangs in the rivers and lakes are fighting for this divine drug. As long as they have this drug, there will be no mouth that cannot be pried open, no secret that cannot be asked.”
“This drug costs a hundred taels of silver for just one pill!”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
Upon hearing this, she couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.
Is he asking her for silver?
Moreover, this drug, just like the rumors that were spread in later generations, all you need is to be sprayed with it once, and you will obediently hand over your bank card and mobile phone and so on.
Is Ma Dongshu really a charlatan?
