The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2380: Found Them (6)

Xiaobai meticulously examined the doorway and the couplets, swiftly identifying six individuals who had made contact with them between the hours of 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM.

"We merely paid a visit, and now we are considered suspects?" Chen Yingzi immediately lodged a protest. "What is truly happening here? I am returning home and will not be back."

"Why the haste to depart, Auntie?" Yang Ruxin inquired with a smile. "Could it be that you are feeling a sense of guilt?"

"What reason do I have to feel guilty?" Chen Yingzi shot Yang Ruxin a glare.

"If guilt is not a concern, then remain seated," the third great uncle interjected. "You are the one expressing the most dissatisfaction."

Chen Yingzi promptly fell silent, though her eyes darted about restlessly.

Yang Ruxin surveyed the assembled individuals: "Everyone is aware that my teacher is a renowned Divine Doctor, correct? Therefore, there is no ailment he cannot concoct medicine for." She then produced a delicate porcelain bottle.

"Allow me," Sanni eagerly stepped forward to accept the bottle. "Big sister, what is it you wish for me to do?"

"This medicinal pill was formulated by my teacher, specifically designed to apprehend prisoners within the Heavenly Prison," Yang Ruxin explained with a smile. "As you all likely know, many criminals deny their wrongdoing. Without a confession, it proves difficult to pass judgment, so we utilize this to elicit the truth."

A ripple of exchanged glances went through the crowd.

"Is it truly that remarkable?" someone voiced a question.

"Why not put it to the test?" Guan Qingshu unexpectedly emerged into the gathering. "The Magistrate utilized this very method to execute a notorious brigand. The man resisted all forms of interrogation and remained entirely silent, yet after a single pill, he confessed to every murder he committed and divulged the locations where he had hidden his ill-gotten gains..."

Though the populace did not actively seek favor with the Guan Family, and indeed preferred associating with Xinxin to avoid the Guan family members acting high and mighty, Guan Qingshu's status as a Jieyuan commanded a certain respect. His words served to reinforce Yang Ruxin's assertion.

Yang Ruxin offered a smile, a touch of surprise at his unexpected aid, but she remained silent on the matter, instead addressing the group with a cheerful demeanor: "Therefore, since we are all being forthright, let us partake. There is no need to fear the truth, is there? These pills are rather costly, and it is a waste to employ them for such minor matters."

Sanni proceeded to distribute the pills, offering one to each person individually.

This included Yang Guofu and Yang Huangshi, who accepted a pill without hesitation, placing it into their mouths. The others followed suit, consuming their respective pills.

Upon reaching Chen Yingzi, she paused, the pill held in her hand. Ultimately, she placed it into her palm, covered her mouth with her hand, and mimicked the action of swallowing.

"Zhenshan, I trust you won't be hiding any secret stashes later, will you?" someone in the crowd jested with Yang Zhenshan, the village head's eldest son.

"It's quite alright; if he dares to possess a secret stash, I shall deny him access to our bed tonight," Zhenshan's wife, Geng Jinhua, declared loudly.

A wave of laughter swept through the assembly.

"Very well, we have identified the individual responsible for tearing the couplets," Yang Ruxin announced the outcome shortly thereafter.

"Identified? Who was it?" someone inquired with surprise. "You haven't even interrogated us yet."

"The pills I dispensed are not truth serums; they are for expelling gas. After consumption, within approximately fifteen minutes, you will begin to experience flatulence and belching – all related to the release of internal gases. However, for those who have not ingested them..." Yang Ruxin's gaze settled pointedly on Chen Yingzi.
