Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 147
Chapter 147 Things Are Getting Worse
Thinking of the seriousness of the situation, Su Wanwan immediately ran out and walked towards the nearest house. When she saw a woman, she asked, “Aunt, did your family buy spirit powder? That thing is poisonous! It can’t be used! The chili pepper in my courtyard was filled with that powder. It’s dead!”
The woman was stunned and her face turned pale with fear. “I bought it yesterday and poured it on the chili ground with my man. This … what should I do?”
“Oh! Su Wanwan, what are you panicking about! You actually said that I’m wrong! I’m selling conscience stuff in Shi Gang. It’s definitely useful!”
This shrill voice was very familiar. Su Wan turned her head and saw Wang Xianshu’s face. A trace of disgust couldn’t help but arise in her heart. “Wang Xianshu, your family doesn’t grow chili peppers. You don’t know the importance of this matter. Don’t stand here and talk without hurting your back!”
“You!” Wang Xianshu was so angry that she pointed her finger at Su Wanwan, “Everyone in Shi Gang knows about his character! Your chili sprouts definitely didn’t die from his spiritual powder!”
“Miss Su, don’t panic. Shi Gang Yan Village has been peddling for several years. We’ve all seen it, and there’s no way it’s fake.” The woman seemed to feel that it made sense and comforted Su Wanwan, “Miss Su, don’t panic.” “Shi Gang Yan Village has been peddling for a few years.”
Even so, Su Wanwan could not think of any other reason for the chili sprouts to die overnight. She wanted to go to another house to ask about the situation, but was stopped by Wang Xianshu. “You just yelled at me. I’m an elder! Apologize to me!”
However, just as he finished speaking, Li Shitou ran over from afar and was out of breath. “Little girl Su! This is bad! Our chili pepper has just been poured with spirit powder, and is about to die!”
“What?” Su Wanwan was stunned. She had guessed correctly, but she could not be happy.
Wang Xianshu put down her hand embarrassedly. Her face turned red and she immediately sneaked into her home.
Su Wanwan and Li Shitou went to the field to take a look. She was stunned. The chili leaves had already turned yellow. She squatted down to look at the chili stalk and found that there were traces of withered yellow.
Judging from the medicinal properties of the poison, the chili pepper would completely die within two hours!
Just who was this evil-minded!
Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and said, “Uncle Shitou! Let’s go back to the village and join forces with the others to capture this spirit powder seller!”
As soon as the two of them returned to the village, the other villagers were also anxious to find Su Wanwan. They were also talking about the bad pepper ground. Su Wanwan comforted the villagers, and the villagers also realized that it was all their fault for using spirit powder. A group of people went to Yang Liu Village to look for the stone hill that sold spirit powder.
When they arrived at Yang Liu Village, they saw a stone hill carrying barrels of spirit powder!
A short-tempered man in the village rushed forward and snatched the powder off his shoulder, kicking him to the ground.
Shi Gang was stunned. Looking at Su Wanwan and the others, he straightened his back and said, “What are you guys doing? Forget it! Why did you knock over my things? Everyone in the village is embarrassed to see each other in the future!”
“We won’t feel embarrassed. The one who feels embarrassed should be you.” Su Wanwan sneered and pointed at the wooden bucket that was lying on the ground. “Tell me the truth today, what exactly did you mix in and sell it for! All the chili sprouts in our village that were watered with spirit powder are dead!”
“This … shouldn’t be!” Shi Gang widened his eyes, then shook his head and said, “Definitely not going to die! I only added a little … grass ash … right! It’s grass ash!”
Looking at his trembling voice, Su Wanwan immediately concluded that there was something fishy about it. It was definitely not as simple as grass ash. She immediately said, “Everyone, stop writing ink with him. Let’s go to his house and search!”
Shi Gang panicked. He crawled and ran to block his own door. “You can’t go in! I’m going to sue you for trespassing!”
“Now I have given you a chance to settle things privately. If you still want to report to the official, then report to the official. We are not afraid of you!” Su Wanwan said.
“That’s right! Do you know how frightening your Spiritual Powder is? I just poured it yesterday, and the chili sprouts in the field today are all dead!”
“…”
Hearing that the situation was so serious, Shi Gang panicked. His legs went limp and he fell down. He trembled and said, “You … are you telling the truth?”
“Of course it’s true! This is related to the life food of everyone in our village, how dare you fake it!” Su Wanwan pursed her lips, frowned, and stepped into the door. Suddenly, she smelled a pungent smell. She followed the smell and saw a can of white powder. Looking carefully, she found that it was something he had mixed with vegetable ashes to sell to the villagers!
“Speak! What exactly is this!” Su Wanwan looked down at Shi Gang. A trace of hostility suddenly flashed through her clear eyes, causing Shi Gang to become paralyzed. She immediately told the truth.
It turned out that someone had come to find him a few days ago and asked him to mix the powder with vegetable ashes and sell it to the villagers. He had agreed to give him one tael of silver just to raise money to treat his mother’s illness.
Thinking of the loss to the villagers, Shi Gang slapped himself in the face and said, “I was wrong! I’m sorry!”
The villagers didn’t buy it. The chili peppers in their homes had gone bad, and they were even more frightening than the losses caused by a year of drought. Su Wanwan could not ask who was behind the scenes, nor was she at ease. She and a few villagers sent Shi Gang to the town shangguan.
Su Wanwan thought for a while and felt that the person who was most likely to cause trouble was the people from the Chamber of Commerce. However, because there was no evidence, it would be futile for her to return home. She might even be bitten back!
A sense of powerlessness surged into her heart. Su Wanwan’s chest was filled with anger. She could only go back with the villagers first. She instructed them to pull out the chili pepper and loosen the soil. She then went out overnight to study the medicine to remove the soil toxicity and poured it on the villagers. She promised the villagers that she would give them new chili seedlings for free. The villagers moved very quickly.
Su Wanwan calculated the number of chili seedlings lost by the villagers. She replanted the chili seedlings in the space. A few days later, when the villagers were ready, the chili seedlings in the space also grew. Su Wanwan was about to redistribute the chili sprouts, but the villagers didn’t seem to be interested in her chili sprouts at all!
“Su Wanwan! Stop peddling that stupid chili sprout of yours! Who dares to plant chili now! Now all the chili peppers are poisonous!” A villager said.
“I’ve studied it. That poison will only wither the plants and vegetation to death. Those that have not been watered can’t be contaminated!” Su Wanwan was certain.
The villager looked at Su Wanwan with a look of disdain. “If you don’t believe me, go to Aunt Wang’s house. She didn’t buy spirit powder to fertilize, but she was also contaminated. Their son picked a few chilies yesterday to cook, and today, her son has a lot of lumps on his back!” The doctor said that it was a fatal illness! Right now, everyone is discussing how to destroy the remaining chilies at the entrance of the village!
The remaining peppers would continue to grow, and they could pick peppers that weighed no more than 1,000 jin! How could it be destroyed!
Su Wanwan ran over in panic.
