Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 523 - 461: Bamboozle

At this hour, I wonder if the bandits have had breakfast?

Do they not have two meals this early?

No more guessing, let’s go have a look.

"Dezi! Why are you sleeping so soundly? I’ve called you so many times, and you still don’t respond. Are you pretending?" Ma San angrily grabbed the young bandit’s collar.

Though the young bandit was forcibly awakened, he was still very sleepy, with his eyelids heavy and hard to open.

"Third Brother, I’m so sleepy. Let me sleep a little longer!" After saying this, the young bandit was about to fall back onto the sack and continue sleeping.

"Stop sleeping. Ever since I drank the porridge this morning, I’ve been running to the toilet non-stop. I’m going to the latrine. Stand watch for me!" Ma San said, clutching his stomach, and dashed off like a streak of wind.

The young bandit, overwhelmed by sleepiness, couldn’t care less about what Ma San said. He tilted his head and continued sleeping, soon snoring away.

"Oh dear, Mrs. Xiao Er, my stomach is hurting too. I’m going to the latrine first..." A woman’s voice gradually faded away.

"What’s up with everyone? Could there be something wrong with the porridge we had this morning?" The only woman left in the kitchen muttered suspiciously.

It can’t be. If there was something wrong with the porridge, she should have a stomach issue too. Why is she fine?

Could these few people have eaten something behind her back?

Thinking of this, Xiao Er’s wife concluded in her heart that after finishing work last night, Madam Wang, Madam Li, and Ma San must have sneakily had a secret meal together.

Otherwise, why would all of them have stomach issues? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Humph, sneaking around behind her man’s back and colluding with Ma San, how shameless.

"Oh... Why is my stomach hurting too?" Xiao Er’s wife thought of enduring it, but after all, during the day, the kitchen couldn’t be without people. But the stomach pain was intense, grumbling continuously.

Xiao Er’s wife felt that if she stalled a bit more, she’d end up messing her pants.

Nothing mattered anymore, she couldn’t care less, Xiao Er’s wife dashed out as fast as she could.

Yu Xiaolian tapped into her inner strength, listened to the surrounding sounds, and after confirming that only the young bandit’s snoring could be heard around, she emerged.

A mistake, such a mistake, why didn’t she mix the drug into the rice yesterday?

These people only drank plain porridge this morning, they didn’t make any dishes.

Yu Xiaolian quickly mixed some knockout drugs into the rice. The white knockout powder mixed with the rice looked like rice bran, with no oddity at all.

Voices and footsteps came to her ears, and Yu Xiaolian hid behind the rice bag again.

"Where is everyone? The Boss and the Second Boss fainted after breakfast. There’s something wrong with the food. Where are the cooks?" Someone stomped into the kitchen.

Apparently, the kitchen made more than just porridge in the morning. They only cooked plain porridge for these underlings, while separate dishes were made for the Boss and the Second Boss.

Alerting the enemy, Yu Xiaolian frowned.

However, since the Boss and the Second Boss were drugged, it proves that the knockout drug Zheng Yuanfeng gave her is indeed effective. As expected from the son of an Imperial Physician, the drug is remarkable.

Ma San’s voice rang out, "What, the Boss was attacked?"

"To hell with it being attacked, the Boss is just unconscious. Stop talking nonsense and stirring up panic!"

Ma San held his stomach, "As long as he wasn’t attacked. This stomach ache had me worried that there was poison in what I ate too. Scared me to death!"

"Where are the three who cooked?"

"Here, here. What do you need from us?" Madam Wang and Madam Li returned first.

"Was there anything unusual in the kitchen this morning? Did any strangers show up?"

Madam Wang and Madam Li held their stomachs, slightly bent over, they replied in unison, "No, just the three of us, no one else came!"

The person didn’t believe it, "Impossible, someone definitely infiltrated the hideout. The Boss and Second Boss and two mistresses are all unconscious, and it was after eating the food from the kitchen that they became like this.

Ouch... My stomach... I’ll be back after a trip to the latrine..." That person didn’t even pick up the knife, held their belly, and ran off like a gust of wind.

Madam Wang and Madam Li also realized something was wrong and hurriedly said to Ma San, "Ma San, could someone have drugged the water? Why has everyone in the hideout got upset stomachs?"

Ma San, with his legs weak from diarrhea, face pallid, replied, "Can’t be. We’ve been guarding it closely, not leaving for a moment. And there’s the night patrol too. Who could sneak in unnoticed and spike it?"

"Forget whether the water is poisoned or not. Best to drain this pool and replace it with fresh water!" Xiao Er’s wife returned, clutching her stomach.
