A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

459 Drugged

Ning Yue’s words woke him up. Indeed, he could not rule out this possibility. But the problem arose again. No matter how he investigated, he did not find any suspicious people. The explanation of drugging them did not seem to work.

“I didn’t find any suspicious people in this village. None,” Jiang Ying said.

It was impossible for one person to drug the entire village. At least a few people had to do it together.

Ning Yue smiled and replied, “There’s a way. There’s no need for so many people to do it. After all, there’s something we have to use every day.”

Jiang Ying frowned deeply when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he understood. “You’re talking about water!”

Why hadn’t he thought of that? He had wasted a day.

“Yes, as long as they drug the water, they can cause these accidents,” Ning Yue said.

When Jiang Ying heard this, he hurriedly sent someone to investigate the water source in the western suburbs. As expected, when one of the guards tried to drink the water, he hallucinated.

His eyes glazed over. He took the flint he was carrying and walked to the corner. He picked up a pile of firewood and began to light it.

After the firewood was burned, the guard placed the burning firewood in various corners.

After doing this, the guard suddenly walked not far away and lay on the ground with his eyes closed. He looked like he was asleep.

Jiang Ying gestured, and the other guards immediately extinguished the lit firewood.

Ning Yue took out a silver needle and poked the sleeping guard awake.

Ning Yue asked him, “What did you just do?”

The guard looked at Ning Yue in confusion and replied honestly, “I drank water.”

“You drank water over there. How did you walk over? Don’t you remember?” Ning Yue didn’t mention his arson and pointed in the direction of the water source.

The guard was even more confused. Yes, he had just been drinking water over there. Why was he here?
