Chapter One Hundred: The Cat Teases the Wasteful Ghost and Removes Its Clothes

  "Big boss, you...!" The little head's eyes flashed with resentment for a moment. "Clang" - the sound of the water bucket falling to the ground was heard, and he didn't care about Shi Jin anymore, directly stumbling and rushing out. Now this belly full of water was like a thousand pounds of force, pulling him down, making his steps unsteady.

  In the midst of the commotion, Shi Jin took advantage of the brief moment when the servant was frantically opening the door to whisper to one of the young men beside Li Bai Cao: "Brother, I need you to follow him. Be careful on the way, and if you see where he goes, don't rush in. Just come back and report to me."

  Shi Jin finished speaking, and the little head also opened the door in a flurry and rushed out in a hurry, his staggering gait was like that of a drunkard. Shi Jin looked at his stumbling steps, standing at the door, couldn't help but curl up his lips and smile.

  Li Baicao watched Shi Jin's actions, somewhat perplexed. Just now, when Shi Jin forced that little head to drink water, Li Baicao wanted to speak out and stop him. He really couldn't imagine what would happen if a person drank such a large bucket of water - wouldn't they be bloated beyond recognition? Not to mention whether the water was poisonous or not, even if it wasn't, drinking so much could still cause severe swelling all over the body. However, Li Baicao saw that Shi Jin's actions were becoming more and more extreme, but within this extremity, although there was coercion, Shi Jin's eyes shone with a calculating glint, clearly indicating that he had his own plans.

  Now that little head didn't say goodbye and ran straight out, Li Bai Cao also stood up and walked to Shi Jin's side and asked: "Master, what is this..."

  "He's gone to get the antidote, don't worry." Shi Jin said with full confidence, glancing at Li Baicao, then turned around to face the two thugs following Xiao Toutou.

  Those two rascals saw their leader being given a big bucket of poisonous water by Shi Jin, and his life was hanging in the balance. Now Shi Jin was facing them again, and it was certain that nothing good would come out of this.

  Shi Jin took a deep breath, as if he was worried about himself rather than the two rascals. Just when the two rascals were uneasy and their bodies began to tremble slightly, Shi Jin strolled around to their back, patted their shoulders and said: "More than 20 people, not a small number, you guys are quite capable."

  "Great master, you... what do you mean? I'm a bit dull... listen... don't quite understand..." The short and stout guard felt Shi Jin's powerful hand heavily patting his shoulder, with beads of sweat on his tense forehead.

  Shi Jin listened to him stuttering and trying to gloss over it, his heart full of ridicule. He let out a cold hum and said, "Don't understand? Want to pretend to be stupid?"

  "The great master's, I... we, really don't know." The short and stout little servant's forehead was covered in cold sweat that flowed down his cheeks with a slight tremble.

  "I don't know what? You should not know what I'm going to ask, right! The words haven't been finished yet, and you're in a hurry to say you don't know. Who are you telling this to? Who would believe it?" Shi Jin said as he tapped his index finger on the back of the two men's heads with a seemingly light touch, but the force behind it was something only those two little rascals knew.

  The dwarf knew that things had already been exposed, and Shi Jin's methods had been experienced by Huang Er Lang and Kong Ru, and these things were also spreading quickly in this besieged city. Naturally, some rumors had been heard, and with the addition of his own leader being forced to drink poisonous water after being tricked by Shi Jin's words, it was as if he had witnessed everything. At this moment, the two men who were anxious at heart knew that Shi Jin's mouth and fists were very powerful, but because Shi Jin's methods were too cunning, even if things were exposed, they still had to hold on stubbornly, and there might still be a glimmer of hope. But if their hearts were defeated by Shi Jin so quickly and they gave away everything, even if Shi Jin didn't kill them, their own backers would come to slaughter them in revenge, and at that time, their families would probably be the first to suffer. Moreover, from any angle, Shi Jin would not let them off.

  The two of them understood this point, and their hearts became as firm as a rock. The short fat man smiled slightly and said: "Master, you scared us just now. Think about it, people who have been frightened will naturally think more than usual, and their mouths will also be clumsier. I said I didn't know earlier because I guessed the question you were going to ask, Master, so I answered ahead of time."

  "Huh?" Shi Jin sneered, walking out from behind the two of them and standing face to face with them. He looked at them and continued, "Well, go ahead and try to say something. I want to ask you what you don't know."

  "The master of the house should ask who threw the poison into the well, but...the masters don't know, and we servants can't possibly know either. Isn't that right?"

  Shi Jin's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he listened, and he said coldly: "You didn't know about that matter, but now you should know. You're already on the verge of death, yet you still dare to be so glib - not good!"

  The short and stout man raised his head, looked at Shi Jing with a glance, and smiled: "Master said jokingly, how dare I talk nonsense in front of you? This is really from the heart!"

  "What a heartfelt words! Then tell me, what's going on? Is our Shouhua Mountain so poor that you can't even afford to wear clothes that fit?"

  Li Bai Cao had been watching them from the side, listening to their conversation, and seemed to have picked up on something. Through the tone of the two people, he also sensed some abnormalities. At this moment, hearing Shi Jin say that, he also took a step closer, looking in the direction Shi Jin was pointing. All he saw was that the hem of his clothes were almost dragging on the ground, and his round belly was pushing out a rather tight and mismatched bulge from the front of his shirt.

  Li Baicao hadn't noticed it before, but now that he's taking a closer look, there are indeed some things that don't seem quite right. And as for that other guy, his clothes don't even fit him properly. Li Baicao wouldn't dare make any judgments about other places, but on Mount Shao Hua, they issue two sets of clothing every year, and each time they have to ask someone to tailor the clothes to their bodies. People who travel around like this value being well-dressed, it's also more convenient for them when they're out and about.

  Just when everyone thought that the little clown would not be able to come up with an answer, he finally spoke up, saying slowly and calmly: "We were guarding the city and our clothes got damaged, so we borrowed from each other temporarily. It's nothing serious."

  Shi Jin listened and instead of getting angry, he burst out laughing, pointing at the short and stout man: "This Hua Yin county really is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, your brain works fast, but... never mind!"

  That little rascal heard this and was overjoyed, but just as they thought Shi Jing had let them off the hook, he added in a gloomy tone: "But borrowed things must be returned, not to mention that grievances have a beginning and debts have an owner. Look..." Shi Jing said, pointing towards the door: "Look who's come to ask you for your clothes..."
