Chapter 390 Zhou Mingxuan Takes Action
After telling Liu Jingxue what happened, Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun did not leave. They stayed there and chatted about gossip with the aunts and sisters-in-law.
After hearing the aunties and aunties retelling what Liu Jingxue had just said, the two looked at each other and began to excuse Chen Jiaojiao.
They knew that when facing the villagers, they, the educated youth, were united.
If Chen Jiaojiao had a bad reputation, they would also be dragged down and their reputations would be damaged.
Of course, Liu Jingxue is an exception. First, she did not live in the educated youth site. Second, based on her actions after she came here, the villagers already regarded her as one of their own and not in the same group as the educated youth.
Now that Liu Jingxue can defend Chen Jiaojiao, it is natural for these vested interests to do their part.
After Liu Jingxue got off work around noon, she went into the space to continue practicing the spells she had learned last night.
After a night of studying in the time formation, she has learned this spell, but has not yet fully mastered it.
She estimated that Zhou Mingxuan would drug everyone at the educated youth center tonight, so she had to practice her magic quickly so that she could use it on Zheng Pengcheng in the evening.
At the educated youth center, after work in the morning, Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun gathered several female educated youth at the educated youth center in the room with the big bunk bed.
"Why did you two call us over? Everyone is in a hurry to cook and take a rest after dinner because we have to go to work in the afternoon." Liu Zhaodi said dissatisfiedly.
Zhang Yingchun said, "After we finish talking about this, there's no rush for you to cook. You won't starve to death if you eat later."
“You only have to cook for one or two people, so there’s no rush.
I have to cook for five people.”
"Don't interrupt. We've already finished talking about everything," Xia Lan said dissatisfiedly.
Zhang Yingchun talked a lot of nonsense, telling about how Liu Jingxue had excused Chen Jiaojiao in front of the villagers and pushed the whole thing onto Zheng Pengcheng.
"Xiaoxue, you all know the benefits of doing this without me telling you.
This is the best choice for you, Chen Jiaojiao, and for us female educated youth.
We have to speak with one voice here and stick to this statement externally.
Be careful not to make the mistake.”
"Especially you, Chen Jiaojiao, you must remember that this is your only chance to escape.
As for Zheng Pengcheng, he will definitely not marry you. Even if he is forced to marry you, you will probably end up like his cousin's sister-in-law as described by Zhao Zhiqing.
If you don't want to die, don't think about anything else and just say this to others.
Remember it?" Xia Lan said sternly.
Chen Jiaojiao is not a fool. She naturally knows what to do to benefit herself.
Last night and this morning were enough time for her to figure it out.
"Don't worry, I know what to do.
But if this happens, I'm afraid Zheng Zhiqing will have objections."
"You don't care if he has any opinion.
If you don't say this and let the villagers continue to pass it on, your life will be ruined.
Our reputation will also be affected by you."
"As for Zheng Zhiqing, you didn't lie. He was the one who dragged you to cover for him and got to know Xiaoxue.
Doesn't he allow people to tell the truth?
But it is true that you should stay away from her in the future."
"After my foot heals and I go back to work, I will go find the team leader and ask him to change my partner for me," Chen Jiaojiao promised.
In order to carry out his plan, Zhou Mingxuan worked hard in the morning and afternoon. He completed the task before everyone else at around four o'clock in the afternoon and left work early.
When I returned to the educated youth site, the gate was still locked.
Although Chen Jiaojiao was still at the educated youth center, considering that she had an injured foot and had difficulty moving, everyone still locked the gate when they went out.
Because he wanted to do something bad, Zhou Mingxuan did not unlock the door and enter, but climbed over the wall into the yard.
After climbing over the courtyard wall, Zhou Mingxuan first observed the situation inside the yard. Not seeing Chen Jiaojiao, he took the hoe from outside the yard and then jumped into the yard himself.
He walked quietly out of his house, put down the hoe, and tiptoed to the female educated youth's house to listen to the noise inside.
After hearing the noise coming from inside and confirming that Chen Jiaojiao was in the room, Zhou Mingxuan left quietly again.
Zhou Mingxuan went to the room of the male educated youth first.
For those of them who had been trained as soldiers since childhood, breaking into houses and picking locks was a very simple matter. Zhou Mingxuan easily unlocked the door and entered the room of the male educated youth. He put some sleeping pills in the enamel cups of several people.
Next came Xia Lan, Zhang Yingchun, and Zhou Mingxuan who also picked the lock and entered.
After observing for several days, Zhou Mingxuan discovered that perhaps in order to save firewood or simply to be lazy, the female educated youth who cooked together would cook a little more at noon every day and only heat it up when they came back in the evening.
This provided convenience for Zhou Mingxuan, who put drugs in their evening meals.
It's Chen Jiaojiao and Liu Zhaodi who are a bit difficult to deal with.
Chen Jiaojiao was in the room, and Zhou Mingxuan couldn't sneak in and put drugs in their water cups, so he had to think of other ways.
Seeing the kitchen facing the courtyard gate, Zhou Mingxuan quietly slipped over.
After prying open the lock, Zhou Mingxuan was delighted when he saw a large bowl of rice porridge in the cupboard. It seemed that Liu Zhaodi was lazy and brought out the evening portion at noon.
Zhou Mingxuan hurriedly put some sleeping pills in it.
But in this case, the three male educated youth might have been injected with a larger dose of the drug.
Zhou Mingxuan was thinking whether he should change the water in their cups.
"Forget it, let's not collapse it, just use it as a double insurance."
Now only Zhao Junhao and Zheng Pengcheng are left.
Don't worry about Zhao Junhao, we'll take action later when we eat.
The trouble comes from Zheng Pengcheng's side.
Zhou Mingxuan didn't dare to break into the house and put the drugs in.
These people have been specially trained in breaking into houses and picking locks, so they will naturally be on guard against this.
Everyone will use some tricks after locking the door, and as long as someone has touched the lock or opened the door, they will be discovered.
Therefore, Zhou Mingxuan did not dare to pick the lock to put the drugs in.
But if we don’t pick the lock, where can we put the drugs?
Zhou Mingxuan thought about it and sprinkled some sleeping pills on the door lock of Zheng Pengcheng's room.
Soon after the drug was sprinkled on, it disappeared.
“This is still a little unsafe.
When he gets home from work, I'll sprinkle some drugs on myself and run in front of him a few more times."
After finishing the work, Zhou Mingxuan unlocked the door, put down the hoe and picked up the axe.
It’s better for me not to stay at home, in case Zheng comes back and sees me and becomes suspicious. I’d better go to the mountain to chop wood.
At the end of the afternoon working hours, the educated youths returned to the site one after another.
After the others came back, they opened the door directly. However, Zheng Pengcheng and Zhao Junhao stayed at the door for a while while unlocking the door. It was unclear whether they were looking for keys or checking something.
Not finding anything unusual, they both unlocked the door and entered.
After a while, Zhou Mingxuan came back carrying firewood.
"Zhou Zhiqing, you came back quite early today and even picked up two bundles of firewood."
"There is not much firewood at home, so I rushed to get off work early to collect firewood." Zhou Mingxuan replied.
Seeing Zhao Junhao standing at the door, Zhou Mingxuan said, "Haozi, you should work faster in the future and get off work earlier to collect firewood."
"OK, no problem."
After putting the firewood in the woodshed at the back, Zhou Mingxuan fetched water to wash his hands and face, took the antidote, sprinkled some sleeping pills on himself, and went to cook.
While cooking, he would occasionally quarrel with Zheng Pengcheng and run up to him and hang around.
Everyone, including Zheng Pengcheng himself, was used to his behavior. After all, they had always gotten along like this.
Before eight o'clock in the evening, the educated youth site fell into silence. Zhou Mingxuan deliberately made a loud noise, but no one responded.
He ran to Zheng Pengcheng's room and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
After returning to the house, Zhou Mingxuan waited for about half an hour before quietly opening the back door of the house, walking out of the Forbidden City, climbing over the wall and leaving the educated youth center.
Knowing that Zhou Mingxuan would take action tonight, Liu Jingxue left the space at around seven o'clock in the evening and used her spiritual sense to observe the movements here.
Seeing Zhou Mingxuan preparing to come over, in order to ensure safety, she used her spiritual sense to check on everyone at the educated youth point and confirmed that they had all been drugged and had fallen into a coma.
Liu Jingxue was still very confident about her medicine and knew that he would not wake up until the next morning.
