Manager Wu agreed. “Okay!”
“When necessary…” Second Master Hu made a throat-slitting gesture.
Actually, he could have dealt with Du Juan last night.
However, they were not sure if their plan would succeed this time. What if the Empress Dowager did not take the medicine or Du Juan did not put it in?
If they kept the cuckoo, they could commit the poisoning a second time.
Manager Wu immediately contacted Du Juan and asked around, only to be told that the medical assistant from the Number One Hall did not go to the medical center today.
Oh no, that girl had run away!
Manager Wu gritted his teeth and hurriedly went to deal with the physical evidence.
However, how should he deal with it? Burn it?
There would be an odor and residue.
If he were to pour it away… where would he do it?
He had heard of a case where someone poured the herbs into the latrine pit. In the end, the constables found out.
Putting it into other medicine? No, it was still possible to be discovered..
Upstairs, Second Master Hu pushed open the window and urged the courtyard, “The Third Prince is here! Hurry up!”
“Hurry… hurry…”
Manager Wu made up his mind and pocketed a few bags of medicine before leaving Benevolence Hall from the back door.
He threw the medicine further away. This should be foolproof!
He mustered his strength and walked three streets in one go before finally arriving at a deserted orchard.
He sneakily threw the medicine bag over the wall and turned to leave!
However, just as he moved, the medicine bag was thrown over again.
He subconsciously looked up and saw three cute little heads on the wall.
Manager Wu’s body trembled!
Why was it them?
Xiaohu said, “Your things fell into Master’s orchard!” Erhu shook his head and sighed. “Why were you so careless?”
Dahu criticized, “I’ll return it to you. Be careful next time! ”
What was there to pay attention to?
He was here to throw it away!
There was an 80% chance that he could not throw it away here. Shopkeeper Wu picked up the medicine bag on the ground and left!
The officials of the Dali Temple had already begun to arrest him. It was unknown if they were arresting Du Juan or him. Once a person felt guilty, it was easy to panic.
“Forget it, I shall hide first!”
He hid under a broken cart covered in rags with the medicine bag.
“The rest of you, follow me!”
The officials split up and did not come over.
Manager Wu heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, one, two, and three round heads stuck in.
“What are you doing?” Xiaohu asked. Erhu and Dahu blinked at him.
Manager Wu wanted to die.
“Go! Hurry up and leave!” He waved his hand and chased them away softly.
The three of them did not leave.
“Why are you hiding here?” Erhu asked.
The three little ones only knew Shopkeeper Wu. Last time, there was a conflict with the little fatty. Shopkeeper Wu rushed out to protect his master, but he was beaten up by Madam Yang with a shoulder pole.
The three little ones labeled Shopkeeper Wu as an adult who did not pose a threat.
Shopkeeper Wu racked his brains to send the three plagues away.
“Shall we play a game?
He said with a smile, “Walk over there and face the wall. You’re not allowed to peek. Count to ten. You have to count loudly. Come and find me after you’re done!”
Xiaohu waved his hand and said, “Xiaohu doesn’t know how to count to ten. Xiaohu only knows how to count to a hundred!”
“Dahu knows,” Erhu said.
Dahu nodded.
The corners of Manager Wurs mouth twitched. “All… all right!”
The three of them obediently came to the wall and covered their eyes with their small hands.
Dahu began to count seriously. “One, two, three, four…”
Shopkeeper Wu carefully climbed out and tiptoed a few steps before disappearing!
He turned into a small alley and confirmed that the three of them were not chasing him. He patted his chest and heaved a long sigh of relief.
“I was scared to death… I was scared to death!”
“Found you!”
A demonic voice suddenly appeared behind him. Shopkeeper Wu turned around and looked at the cute three little ones. He was about to collapse!
“Look over there too!”
It was an official!
Manager Wu was scared out of his wits.
In his panic, he looked at the three children in front of him and suddenly had an idea.
“You sent yourself to me. Don’t blame me.”
He took out the medicine packets. There were exactly three packets, one stuffed into each person’s hand.
Manager Wu smiled and said, “You’ve found me. This is your reward. It’s my turn to look for you next! I’ll close my eyes and count to ten. Go back and find a place to hide!”
The three of them thought about it and felt that it was feasible.
This person was quite loyal. After playing with them for so long, he would not argue with them about the little fatty. Dahu said, “Then close your eyes first.”
“Okay, I’ll close it, I’ll close it!”
Shopkeeper Wu closed his eyes weakly, leaving a slit. “You have to close them all! No peeking!” Erhu said.
“Yeah!” Xiao Hu said.
Manager Wu gave a fake smile and closed his eyes tightly.
He was delighted to hear the footsteps gradually fading away.
When he opened his eyes, the three little ones had already run away.
“Great, just wait for the officials to find the medicinal powder on you! Even if you say that I gave it to you, I’m not afraid!”
“Who would believe the words of a few brats? Who didn’t know that there was a grudge between the two families? Perhaps it was instigated by your adults!”
As this thought flashed through his mind, Shopkeeper Wu revealed a smug smile.
However, as the saying went, extreme joy easily turned into sorrow.
In his carelessness, he did not notice the steps ahead. He missed a step and rolled down. “Uh-ah—”
Crack!
His leg was broken…
In the next second, three round heads blocked his vision.
Xiaohu tilted his head. “You’ve found us!” Manager Wu was about to cry!
“I don’t want to find you…”
Manager Wu’s head tilted and he fainted..
