Ye Sha stared silently at Jun Xie's back.
[Just how bad was the poison in the well? Look at how disappointed their Young Miss was, completely losing all her will to fight!]
Inside the Fortune Spring Hall, Luo Xi stood beside the candlelight, looking at his subordinate who had just returned, his face filled with glee.
"Everything is done?"
"Yes."
"Very good." Luo Xi nodded his head in satisfaction and turned to look at the flickering candlelight, his eyes filled with venomous venom. "I'm afraid that quite a number of lives will be lost in this city tomorrow. The price of these coffins will surely rise."
"The Young Master's schemes are unparalleled and the poison was concocted by the Young Master himself. The poison is potent and no one under the Heavens will be able to neutralize it. It will definitely succeed!"
Luo Xi smiled and waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, it's good enough that you know. Let's just wait and watch the show tomorrow. Oh right, prepare more straw mats. I will go collect the corpses of those 'pitiful' refugees tomorrow. Hahaha ….. "
Early the next morning, Luo Xi was filled with anticipation as he sat within his residence, waiting for the news of the large number of casualties in the city's north. But …..
Till noon, he still did not receive a single piece of news!
Feeling rather puzzled, Luo Xi immediately sent someone to the city's north to investigate. But when his subordinate came back, the news he brought with him stunned him.
"What did you say!!" Luo Xi's eyes widened as he stared at his subordinate kneeling before him.
The man said with a mournful face: "Your subordinate has stood guard in the city's north for four hours and did not see any refugees go fetch water. But ….. I did not see a single person show any signs of being poisoned."
The man was on the verge of tears. There was no need to even talk about poisoning people to death. Just looking at the refugees holding onto the water ladles and drinking freely, he had been completely dumbfounded. He had seen with his own eyes just how potent Luo Xi's poison was. One only needed to swallow it and in mere moments, it would be able to poison a strong and healthy man to death, what more those frail and weak refugees?
But such a strange thing had just happened!
"What is going on!? Are your eyes playing tricks on you!? " Luo Xi was unable to accept such a result. His poison had been tested every single time and it had never failed before.
The man shook his head. "I was afraid I was mistaken and specially went to several wells to check and found that every single one of them was in the same condition."
Luo Xi fell heavily back onto a chair, the expression on his face extremely ugly to behold.
"How could this be … How could this be … This is impossible! My poison … How could it have no effect … Go! Get me someone to test the medicine. I don't believe that there's a problem with my medicine! "
Very quickly, a thin and weak looking little youth was dragged into Luo Xi's room and forced poison down his throat. Not even two minutes later, the little youth fell to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices and dead.
Staring at the blood splattered all over the ground, the more Luo Xi thought about it, the more confused he became.
There was clearly nothing wrong with the poison, but why did none of the refugees in the north of the city die?
"You can go again tonight! Increase the amount of poison by three times! "Luo Xi said through gritted teeth.
"Yes!"
However …
In the middle of the night, after the group of black robed men sneakily left, Jun Wu Xie ran over to the well to check on the situation. This time, she could not even be bothered to say a word but just tossed two bottles of elixirs at Ye Sha in disappointment before she went back to sleep.
Ye Sha gripped the bottle in his hand, his face looking like he wanted to cry but no tears came out. He really wanted to run over to Luo Xi and ask him to come up with some high quality poison next time. Just look at the poison he had put in there, it was so bad that the Young Miss did not even have the slightest interest in it!
