Chapter 1192 Screaming your lungs out won't save you!
Jiang Zhiming tried to grope Huai Shaoyong for a moment, but got nothing in return.
He even pried open Huai Shaoyong's mouth to look inside, almost getting bitten, and still found nothing.
“Lord Shen…” Jiang Zhiming wanted to lift Huai Shaoyong up and shake him a couple of times. “You saw it yourself, he doesn’t seem to be carrying that powder… You tell me, wasn’t he in such a hurry to cause trouble that he didn’t bring it with him when he left the academy?”
Shen Zheng was about to say "that's possible," but a picture suddenly flashed through her mind, "No, he can't live without that powder."
"Can't live without it?" Jiang Zhiming didn't quite understand the meaning of those three words. After thinking for a while, he asked uncertainly, "You mean... he's become addicted to drugs?"
Shen Zheng immediately nodded, "He's addicted; he'll definitely carry it with him at all times."
"Addicted...?" Jiang Zhiming looked at Huai Shaoyong's bloodshot eyes, puzzled.
How can a person become addicted to poison?
This is completely illogical and contrary to basic human decency.
too weird.
"Pry his mouth open, I'll check again." Jiang Zhiming was still in a daze when Shen Zheng had already ordered the guards to pry open Huai Shaoyong's mouth. "Be careful, don't let him bite you."
To avoid being bitten by Huai Shaoyong, the two soldiers used even more force, nearly dislocating Huai Shaoyong's jaw.
"Hah—!" Huai Shaoyong's head was pressed down, and he struggled violently with a mouthful of saliva in his mouth. "What are you doing! Let go of me!"
Ignoring Huai Shaoyong's malicious gaze, Shen Zheng knelt down in front of him.
“Look at his teeth.” Shen Zheng pinched Huai Shaoyong’s chin hard with her thumb and forefinger, and while observing him, she said to Jiang Zhiming, “His gums are red and swollen and protruding, with blood clots and exposed tooth roots, and black spots... This is a sign that toxins have entered his body.”
Huai Shaoyong's teeth are typical "poisonous teeth".
Jiang Zhiming's scalp tingled from looking at it.
Although my teeth aren't perfectly straight, they're clean and neat.
Huai Shaoyong's engorged gums were so congested that just looking at them made one want to vomit...
"Ugh—" Jiang Zhiming felt the back of his head start to hurt again. Unable to bear it any longer, he covered his mouth and nose and said to Shen Zheng, "Lord Shen, I'm useless. Please wait a moment... ugh—a little while..."
Shen Zheng carefully examined Huai Shaoyong's canine teeth, then waved her hand and said, "Rest well before you come back."
Jiang Zhiming covered his mouth and ran away. Almost instantly, everyone from Luming Academy surrounded him.
Looking at Huai Shaoyong's rotten teeth, the old man with the black beard felt his stomach churn. He gagged and said, "Ugh—I knew it... He doesn't usually smile, and even when he does, he doesn't show his teeth. So that's why..."
He couldn't even imagine how smelly those teeth must have been, with those blackened tooth roots!
And Lord Shen, squatting in front of Huai Shaoyong, was actually able to breathe towards Huai Shaoyong without changing his expression, and even...
"Lord Shen, what are you trying to do!"
Seeing Shen Zheng point her finger at Huai Shaoyong's teeth, the black-bearded old man couldn't help but shout.
Shen Zheng paused slightly, pondered for a moment, then took out a handkerchief from her bosom, wrapped it around her finger, and then, under the horrified gazes of everyone, used her handkerchief-wrapped finger to push against Huai Shaoyong's teeth.
"Ouch—" Huai Shaoyong screamed and began to struggle violently, trying to bite Shen Zheng's fingers.
"Lord Shen!" Everyone's pupils contracted sharply, and their hearts jumped into their throats.
With lightning speed, just as Huai Shaoyong was about to bite her and the soldier's fingers, Shen Zheng quickly pulled out her right finger while simultaneously clenching her left fist and delivering a powerful punch to Huai Shaoyong's abdomen.
"Ouch—" Huai Shaoyong opened his mouth again in pain.
Everyone was shocked.
What, what is this?
A government official beat up a student in public?
No, no, no, Lord Shen, this is called outsmarting them.
No, no, no, that's not right either.
They saw nothing!
Hearing the screams, Jiang Zhiming, forgetting about vomiting, pushed through the crowd again and ran in: "What happened?"
Everyone looked at the sky, the ground, and Huai Shaoyong, but no one said what had happened.
After confirming that Huai Shaoyong's teeth were indeed starting to loosen, Shen Zheng removed the handkerchief wrapped around his fingers and stood up.
"Who brought the tinderbox?" Shen Zheng asked.
"In my carriage..." Hou Yirui had just opened his mouth when Xin Ji handed him a tinderbox: "Here you go."
Shen Zheng took the tinderbox, took off her cap, blew on it, and burned the handkerchief on the spot.
It was just a small square handkerchief, which was burned to ashes in an instant. But Shen Zheng still felt it wasn't enough, so she ordered the soldiers to shovel a handful of soil to cover the ashes as well.
In reality, it was unlikely that Huai Shaoyong had any infectious diseases, but Shen Zheng deliberately wanted to create a stereotype among the people that "medicinal powder is dangerous and people who take it are not clean."
The students of Luming Academy were so frightened by Shen Zheng's actions that their faces turned pale.
The old man with the black beard didn't dare to challenge Shen Zheng at all at this moment. His face trembled as he asked Shen Zheng, "Lord Shen, how... how poisonous is this poison?"
Burning them to ashes wasn't enough; they also had to be buried with a handful of soil. This is outrageous!
So, will those who were drugged by Huai Shaoyong be able to live to see their birthdays next year?
Seeing the fear in the old man's eyes, Shen Zheng thought for a moment before speaking: "You must have only accidentally ingested some, which shouldn't be fatal, but... you must never touch it again, otherwise you'll end up like Huai Shaoyong, with the poison entering your body, causing your teeth to loosen, die, and eventually threaten your life."
After saying that, Shen Zheng carefully observed the expressions of everyone at Luming Academy—they all breathed a sigh of relief, and no one showed any strange expression.
It seems that... these teachers at Luming Academy have not yet been infected with "drug powder".
"Lord Shen, what should we do now?" Jiang Zhiming, already wary of Huai Shaoyong's words, tried to keep his distance and asked, "Should we send him to the hospital, or...?"
"Lord Jiang, please search Huai Shaoyong again." Shen Zheng looked at Huai Shaoyong and said, "He can't live without the medicine powder now, so he must be carrying it with him. Please search him carefully again."
Jiang Zhiming was only afraid for a moment before immediately replying, "Okay!"
Since the person who gave the order was Lord Shen, he would never disobey.
Let alone disobeying, Jiang Zhiming wouldn't even hesitate!
After secretly encouraging himself, Jiang Zhiming grabbed Huai Shaoyong's sleeves with a menacing air and interrogated him on the spot: "Tell me! Where did you hide the powder?"
Huai Shaoyong sneered and did not answer.
Jiang Zhiming exclaimed "Yo-ho!" and raised his hand, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, please step aside. I'm about to strip him naked!"
The women around them, afraid of offending their eyes, all turned away.
Just as Jiang Zhiming reached for Huai Shaoyong's belt, Huai Shaoyong struggled angrily: "How dare you! I didn't steal or rob, what right do you have to take off my clothes! This is an abuse of power, this is bullying the people with your official position!"
Jiang Zhiming grinned maliciously and grabbed Huai Shaoyong's belt: "Scream all you want, no one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out!"
