Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

"thump!"

"thump!"

Before Cao Sheng could even speak, the people who had come with him in the courtyard collapsed to the ground one after another, as if all their strength had been drained away.

Dean Qiao was taken aback at first, then stared at the person on the ground with a suspicious look for a while before stammering, "You...you're not trying to stage an accident!"

Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming, who were standing to the side, exchanged a glance, both speechless.

Dean Qiao was still unaware of their reactions. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he even pointed at Cao Sheng on the ground.

He shouted, "Let me tell you, Cao Sheng! Although my son is your brother's superior, I know your brother has been coveting his position for a long time. Are you trying to frame me for poisoning you by suddenly collapsing to the ground like this, and then use this opportunity to bring my son down?"

Nan Hai strode over, examined the dozen or so people lying limply on the ground, and then frowned and said, "They don't seem to be faking it; they seem genuinely exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Dean Qiao immediately stopped jumping up and down, and walked over quickly with a look of astonishment to check on Cao Sheng's condition.

He first pulled hard on Cao Sheng's arm, then let go, and Cao Sheng's arm fell limply down as if it had no bones.

Dean Qiao asked with a puzzled look, "What exactly is going on here? We haven't done anything to you!"

Cao Sheng and the others were also puzzled and didn't know what was going on. They had just come over and said a few words, and before they could react, they suddenly collapsed.

Jiang Wenming walked slowly to Cao Sheng, gently placed his fingers on Cao Sheng's wrist, and pretended to take his pulse.

After a while, he suddenly frowned and said with feigned surprise, "Oh dear, you've been poisoned!"

Seeing this, Dean Qiao also rushed forward to take the pulses of the other patients.

However, after taking the pulse of several people, he still couldn't figure out what was wrong with them.

Dean Qiao's gaze involuntarily fell on Jiang Wenming, and his eyes became increasingly ardent.

He exclaimed in amazement, "Young man, you're amazing! You're so young, yet your medical skills are so remarkable. You truly deserve the title of a divine doctor!"

Upon hearing the word "poisoning," Cao Sheng, who was standing nearby, turned pale with fright and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He stammered, "Help...help me...detoxify, I'll pay any price."

Jiang Jiyun glanced indifferently at the person lying on the ground. Actually, Xiao Wei and Xiao Tian had returned earlier. When they saw Cao Sheng bring people over, they gave her a wink from behind and then quietly slipped away.

Jiang Jiyun took the opportunity to tease the woman. Not only that, she also secretly threw a packet of muscle relaxant powder onto the fire in front of her when no one was looking.

As for why Dean Qiao and the others were not poisoned, it was because they had all taken the antidote pills given to them by Jiang Wenming.

This detoxifying pill is effective in resisting the effects of many toxins in a short period of time, which is why they did not collapse from the medicine like others.

She had also added the antidote to the water that Nan Hai and Cui Fu drank beforehand, so even though the water was poisoned, the two of them were completely unaffected and had no problems at all.

Dean Qiao paced anxiously around those people, circling them again and again, his brow furrowed, racking his brains but finding no clue.

Finally, having exhausted all other options, he walked over to Jiang Wenming and asked with a troubled expression, "I really can't think of a solution, young man, could you help them detoxify?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenming frowned deeply.

He glanced at the people lying on the ground, pretending to observe their symptoms.

Then he shook his head at Dean Qiao and said, "I only know that they were poisoned, but I don't know what kind of poison it is."

Upon hearing this, Dean Qiao was stunned. He had still held onto a sliver of hope, but now he was disheartened.

Not only Dean Qiao, but even those lying on the ground looked at each other, their faces showing despair.

Without an antidote, are they destined to lie here forever?

Dean Qiao suddenly remembered the grayish-brown pill he had taken earlier, and a glimmer of hope welled up in his heart. He quickly asked, "Would that antidote pill work?"

Jiang Wenming nodded and answered affirmatively, "Yes."

Upon hearing that there was medicine, Cao Sheng, who was standing nearby, was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground. He said in a trembling voice, "Then...then..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Wenming pointed to the wooden tub and said helplessly, "The stock is all gone. We used it all up when we were detoxifying them. Now it's all in Young Master Yu and the others' bathtubs."

Dean Qiao stared at the wooden bucket in astonishment, while Yu Ziheng and Butler Song looked down at the water in the bucket at the same time. The water level was already up to their chests, and the water rippled with every movement they made.

Cui Fu suddenly cried out in alarm, "This...this can't be the way we drink the second young master's bathwater, can it?"

However, Cao Sheng's eyes widened, his face filled with murderous intent, and he roared through gritted teeth, "Drink!"

Although his voice was somewhat hoarse, it revealed a resolute and ruthless spirit.

Cao Sheng thought to himself, "It's just drinking a few sips of bathwater, isn't it?"

I've seen all sorts of storms and drunk human blood, why would I be afraid of this mere bathwater?

Just as everyone was talking, Jiang Jiyun's voice suddenly rang out.

She looked at the two people still standing there in the wooden tub, and urged them, "Cousin, the poison has been completely removed from you. Hurry up and come out!"

At this moment, Jiang Jiyuan followed closely behind Xiao Tian into the courtyard, carrying two paper bags in his hands.

His gaze swept over the people scattered on the ground, a hint of confusion on his face, and he asked, "What happened?"

The two had already taken the antidote before entering, so Cao Sheng and the others did not suspect that they had been poisoned in this courtyard.

Nan Hai came to their side and quietly told them what had happened. After speaking, he glanced at the gate and asked, "Where is the defending champion?"

Xiao Tian whispered to him, "Brother Wei has a mission and won't be back for the time being."

Nan Hai rolled his eyes and realized that they might have already gone to the back house to rescue the person, and Xiao Wei must have settled the girl named Yu Juan.

Dean Qiao picked up the gourd ladle next to him and said to Cao Sheng, "I'll try it with your men first. If it works, then I'll feed it to you."

Cao Sheng nodded in agreement, watching as Dean Qiao took a water ladle and went over to feed water to the people around him.

After enduring the nausea, the man drank it down and waited quite a while before he slowly regained the strength to sit up. However, his strength had not fully recovered, and he could only stand up with difficulty, walking with a slight stagger.
