Chapter 1985 - 159: I Want Your Lives
The cook surnamed Huang beside her also cooperated by agreeing, "It was her! She gave us the stuff! Even if something really went wrong, it has nothing to do with us!"
The cook surnamed Huang pointed at the earlier old cook, biting like a mad dog.
The old cook’s face turned extremely ugly. Not because of the testimony of Lin Huang. But because even she herself thought that it was her own concoctions of these seasonings that had gone wrong.
But Dong Huiying didn’t think so.
She had an extraordinary sense of smell. Just a sniff and she could recognize it.
The old cook also carried this kind of seasoning. However, the component flavors of the seasoning were slightly different from those found on Lin Huang.
"Ma’am, could you please take out your seasoning and let me have a look."
Then, she turned back to look at Lin Huang’s duo.
"Even today, I am being benevolent, so I’ll let you die knowing why!"
After the old cook took out her seasoning, Dong Huiying conducted another experiment, "The components are different, Ma’am’s seasoning contains No-Flower Grass, but they used Unknown Grass instead, though they look similar, they are different."
"Unknown Grass?"
The old cook was stunned, because as the old lady had been taking medicinal meals for a long time, the cooks knew a bit about it. It’s a beneficial herb for calming the nerves.
"Unknown Grass is a fine thing, one plant sells for a hundred taels of silver, yet if consumed alone it’s harmless, but if combined with Qionghua Leaf, it would be like that field frog."
"The field frog is petite, I gave it so much at once, it became poisoned rapidly, but for humans, due to their metabolic rate, the poisoning would occur slowly."
Dong Huiying looked coldly at Lin Huang’s duo, "What else do you two have to say?"
"Just now when I was cooking, Lin, you handed me a bottle of seasoning which I used and added to the dish without noticing anything wrong. Until you, Huang, sneaked up to my cooked dish wanting to add something else, it was then I realized!"
"There must be someone directing you from behind, not to mention this Unknown Grass, a hundred taels of silver per plant is certainly not something you two could afford, not to mention this involves medical and toxicological knowledge."
She picked up a boning knife, smiling as she walked toward the duo.
Yet that indifferent gaze only made people more terrified.
"I have always been kind-hearted, but I also have limits. You two aided the wicked, colluded with the tiger, so you can’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"Young lady!"
Someone exclaimed.
Lin Huang’s duo was also startled, injured, but continued to crawl out. "What are you going to do?"
A savage, cruel smile spread across her lips.
"What am I going to do!"
Her eyes were filled with an ominous gleam.
"I want your lives!"
"To fulfill my promise earlier, to skin you alive, to strip your bones!"
The boning knife was extremely sharp, as thin as a cicada’s wing, and as the knife rose and fell, splashes of blood exploded, the scene instantly turned incomparably gruesome!
After a while.
...
Dong Huiying, covered in a stench, wiped the blood off her face, looking cold.
Everyone behind her was pale, trembling in fright, some even unable to stand.
She turned back to look behind her.
"Today, kill one as a warning to others!"
With a clang, she threw the boning knife onto the ground: "Get someone to tie them up and hang them at the city gate!"
