Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2349 Bring a Message 11.0

Shen Cha put the empty medicine bowl back on the table, picked up the white water that Merlin had prepared beside him and rinsed his mouth. He was finally able to take a breath. Then he took a candied fruit from the plate on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. It took a long time for him to barely relieve the bitterness in his mouth.

While chewing the candied fruit, she looked at Jin Miaomiao and was about to complain that her medicine was becoming more and more unpalatable, but she was interrupted before she could open her mouth.

"Don't say anything. I know what you want to say."

"You know?" Shen Cha stuffed another candied fruit into his mouth. "I haven't even said it yet, and you know what I'm going to say?"

"Who told me that I know you so well?" Jin Miaomiao shook her head proudly, "Don't always complain that the medicine tastes bad. You know very well that this year is critical and no matter how bitter the medicine is, you have to endure it. Do you understand? I won't say that good medicine tastes bitter. You understand the truth, so there is no need for me to say more, right?"

"I get it. It's just a small complaint, and you keep nagging me."

"I didn't mean to nag you, you came to me and nag me, you can't blame me. And..." Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows at her, "The medicine this time is not my prescription, but my uncle's. He made a slight adjustment to your original prescription. If you have any questions, tell my uncle and see how he will deal with you!"

"Oh!" Shen Cha snorted twice after hearing what Jin Miaomiao said. "Uncle is even more ruthless than you. As expected, we are from the same family. Also, he is too supportive of you!"

"Where did you get that?" Jin Miaomiao was puzzled. "How can you be on my side?"

"I just complained to him that your medicine is too hard to drink and swallow. It's like torture to drink it every day. He just smiled and said nothing. I thought he agreed with me, but I never thought that he wanted me to see what is more difficult to drink and swallow." Shen Cha pouted in disdain. "Uncle, you are so protective of your shortcomings. You really don't hide it at all. I haven't said anything bad about you yet, but you are already standing up for you."

"Really?" Jin Miaomiao touched her nose and smiled embarrassedly, "But protecting one's shortcomings is the tradition of my sect, and my uncle is just following the sect's rules." Seeing Shen Cha frowning, she waved her hand and said, "Not really. My uncle checked your pulse and felt that some of the medicines were not suitable, so he asked me to change the prescription. If you continue to use the previous one, it won't have the original effect."

"I see. I can barely accept this reason."

"Reluctantly? You have to accept it even if you don't have to." Jin Miaomiao thought for a moment, took out a bag of pine nut candy from her bosom, and handed it to Shen Cha. "Okay, this medicine shouldn't last long, at most half a month. After all, if you drink such a bitter medicine, it will hurt your spleen and stomach, which will not be worth the loss. When I change the prescription, I will talk to my uncle and try to make it taste better. How do you do?"

"Really? Isn't it said that good medicine tastes bitter?"

"Didn't I tell you? This is just a trick to trick children."

"Then it's settled. You can't regret it when the time comes."

"Okay." Jin Miaomiao took a candy, "Ah, open your mouth and eat one."

Shen Cha was fed a candy and received a very satisfactory promise. Her mood improved a lot. She didn't even care about the news that all the killers in the dungeon had died.

"By the way, Xiaowu, have you reported the assassins' suicide by taking poison to the Duke and the Marquis?" "Yes, the Duke and the Marquis said that everything will be decided by the boss."

"There is nothing to decide. Since they are already dead, let's bury them properly." Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Shen Cha spread his hands and said, "These people had a lot of skills when they were alive, but not only did they fail to serve the wise leader, but they also helped the evil. They must have a place to rest after death. Who knows, they may have better luck in the next life."

"The boss is kind and doesn't care that they have plotted against us before."

"So what if we care about it? Can we still whip the corpse? Even if we are Liao people or Jin people, we can't do such a vicious thing."

"The dead are the greatest, so we should respect them!" Seeing Yingwu's expression, he seemed to disagree. Jin Miaomiao sighed and advised, "Although we are defending our country, our hands are still stained with blood, and we have lost some merit after all. So, as long as it is something that can accumulate merit for ourselves, we should do it when we encounter it. This is not for others, but for ourselves."

“That’s what Sister Miaomiao said.

"Ying Wu was persuaded by Jin Miaomiao and was ready to leave the hall to do as Shen Cha had ordered, but he turned back before he could take a step forward.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Boss, I have an idea. Those bosses who were arrested should be engaged in this business. When we searched their houses, we did find quite a few coffins. We can make full use of them."

"Correct!" Shen Cha nodded and chuckled, "This can be considered another successful collaboration for them."

Ying Wu clasped his fists towards Shen Cha, nodded to the others, and left the hall to arrange the funeral of these killers.

"If their clothes are poisonous, we will be in trouble, right?" Hongye looked at Shen Cha, "If that's the case, it will be inconvenient for us to go and watch the fun. It will really hurt our eyes."

"At most there are some spots on their outer robes, but they won't be stripped off completely. Besides, we've already captured so many of them. We already know everything we need to know. There's nothing else we can do with them except occupying space." Shen Cha sneered, "If they don't want to live anymore, we can't stop them, right?"

"That's true." Hongye sighed, poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip, "I hope they will take some action today, so that we don't have to worry about it any longer."

"Nothing unexpected will happen." Jin Miaomiao yawned, "It's still a while before dark, why don't we take a nap to avoid being listless and missing out on the excitement, what do you think?"

"Okay, I agree!" Merlin took several thick blankets and covered Shen Cha, Jin Miaomiao and Hong Ye respectively. "Our boss didn't sleep well last night. He went to see His Highness off in the morning, and then he was busy in the old house. He finally had time to rest now." She closed the door of the flower hall. "I hope no one will come to disturb us again."

Shen Cha smiled and reached out to pull the blanket to his chin. He didn't know if it was the effect of the medicine he had just taken or if he was really tired after being outside all day, but he felt his eyelids getting heavy, and before he could say anything, he fell into a deep sleep.
