Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 425: Choking

Tie Hongyan said: "I asked him, 'Is there something wrong with the medicine?', and then asked, 'If there is no problem, why are you in such a hurry to take the medicine away?', and he drank the medicine that he was going to give me."

Zuo Youqun was a little nervous and quickly explained, "Young Clan Leader, I told you before that I was in a hurry to take the medicine away because it would not be good for people if they drank it after a long time. I took it away because I was afraid that the Young Clan Leader would drink it after a long time."

Tie Hongyan looked at Zuo Youqun and said, "I've said it before. If I plan to drink it, I will ask another doctor to identify the medicine. I will only drink it if I'm sure there are no problems due to it being stored for a long time. If there are any problems, I won't drink it."

Tie Wandao certainly felt that Zuo Youqun's behavior was extremely suspicious, but he thought that many people in Tiecangting trusted Zuo Youqun, so he did not immediately show any suspicion. He deliberately said to Tie Hongyan: "Many people trust Doctor Zuo. You asking him this means you don't trust him enough, so he drank the medicine to prove it to you." After saying that, Tie Wandao deliberately looked at Zuo Youqun's reaction and found that after hearing what he said, Zuo Youqun seemed to be a little more relaxed than before.

Wu Xunsheng didn't know how suspicious Tie Wandao was of Zuo Youqun. After hearing what Tie Wandao said, he thought it was necessary to let him know that Zuo Youqun was extremely suspicious, so he said, "Chief, Doctor Zuo even wiped the medicine bowl with his sleeve!"

Tie Wandao asked: "Oh? Using your sleeve to wipe the medicine bowl?"

Zuo Youqun saw that the situation was really unfavorable to him, and hurriedly said, "Yes, clan leader, I was afraid that the remaining medicine would dry and solidify in the bowl, making the bowl difficult to clean, so I wiped the bowl."

Since many people in Tiecang Court trusted Zuo Youqun, Tie Wandao felt that it was incredible that those strange behaviors happened to him, but he did not think that a person who was usually trusted by many people was necessarily reliable. At this time, he no longer concealed his suspicion and asked, "Are you in such a hurry to wipe the bowl? Don't you want others to see the medicine in the bowl?"

"No! Chief, how could you doubt me? Everyone has trusted me over the years, you must understand that, right?" Zuo Youqun said.

"I understand. But others' trust in you doesn't mean you won't do unexpected things. Sometimes, the more someone is trusted by others, the more he dares to do things that others find hard to believe, because he knows that even if they suspect others, it is not easy to suspect him. Of course, I'm just saying this, not targeting you." Tie Wandao said.

Zuo Youqun panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly approached Tie Wandao, clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "I hope the clan leader will believe me! I have already drunk the medicine!"

This time when he saluted with his fists, Zuo Youqun was too close to Tie Wandao. His sleeve was close to Tie Wandao's nose. Tie Wandao smelled a pungent odor on his sleeve and sneezed twice in succession.

Tie Wandao said: "You sleeve..." Before he could finish his words, he sneezed again.

"What's on the sleeve..." At this point, Tie Wandao's words were interrupted by his own sneeze again.

"What's that smell?" At this point, Tie Wandao sneezed again.

Zuo Youqun moved his sleeve towards himself and sneezed. The sound of this sneeze was much louder than Tie Wandao's sneeze. Zuo Youqun actually sprayed saliva on Tie Wandao's face.
