Acai's Sky

Chapter 430: If you can purify the 5-stone powder, you can also purify alcohol...

Caishikou of the Yu Dynasty

That place that makes people shudder reached its hottest and most dazzling moment at one past three in the afternoon. The sun hung high in the sky like a fireball, burning the earth mercilessly.

On the execution ground, an almost suffocating atmosphere of tension filled the air like thick fog, as if even time had frozen and stagnated in this oppressive atmosphere.

Those involved in the fake 70,000 yuan case that shocked the government and the public were like lambs to be slaughtered. They were roughly escorted by fully armed soldiers, step by step towards the execution ground that symbolized death and despair.

Their faces were as pale as those of the dead, and their eyes revealed endless despair and fear, as if the end of the world was about to befall them.

In the center of the crowd, the once invincible fake Seventh King was now like a stray dog, tied to a specially made, eerie and terrifying torture cart.

His body was tightly bound by thick ropes, unable to move at all. He could only watch his doomsday approach step by step.

His eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets, releasing endless resentment and anger, as if he wanted to break free from this ruthless bondage and fight against this cruel fate to the end.

However, no matter how he struggled, he could not change the impending tragic fate.

With a cold and ruthless order, the execution cart began to move slowly forward, like the god of death wandering in the world.

The body of the fake Seventh King was stretched to the extreme by the pull of the rope. He let out painful and shrill howls, which sounded like the weeping of ghosts, echoing throughout the entire execution ground and making people terrified.

Then, an even bloodier scene unfolded. The fake Seventh King's limbs were torn apart by the torture cart, and blood splattered everywhere like a fountain, forming a shocking blood mist that dyed everything around it a glaring red.

This extremely cruel scene moved everyone present. They covered their eyes and dared not look directly at this horrific scene.

At the same time, people related to the false seven kings were beheaded one after another like lambs to be slaughtered.

Their heads rolled to the ground like rolling watermelons, and the blood dyed the entire ground red. The bloody smell was so strong that it made people feel nauseous.

In the private room of the teahouse opposite, Ah Cai was held tightly in Rong Mama's arms, as if only in this way could she find a sense of security in this bloody scene.

Aunt Rong gently comforted Ah Cai: "Don't be afraid, Master. We are safe here."

Ah Cai relaxed and stood by the window, holding a monocular and curiously observing everything on the execution ground.

She was surprised to find out, "Why are there so many children in there? Are they all the children of the fake Seventh King?"

Aunt Rong nodded helplessly, "That's right, the Yun family's twins were among them. The Yun family didn't acknowledge them. Look, even Liu was executed."

Ah Cai looked at the chaotic crowd on the execution ground and muttered to herself, "Even if it was a white lotus, it would have become a withered black-hearted lotus by now."

The monocular in her hand kept moving, and suddenly, she shouted in surprise, "Hey, my last father and uncle are here too!"

"Let Madam Fan and the others prepare, and then put sacks on them to loosen up their muscles..." Ah Cai said while rubbing his chin with a sly smile on his face.

Rong Mama came back not long after she left.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Ah Cai sitting there, so she walked over and reminded him, "Master, next time you put the two masters of the Yun family on the sack, you have to consider postponing the time!"

Hearing this, Ah Cai was startled and quickly turned around, asking in confusion: "Huh? What are you talking about? What happened to them?"

Madam Rong lowered her voice, carefully covering her face as she spoke, "Your uncle is now so thin that only skin and bones are left. He looks like a consumptive."

Then, she hurriedly added, "And your scumbag father also looks sickly, with a sallow complexion, as if he has had a serious illness..."

After hearing this, Acai frowned and felt something was wrong.

She frowned and said to herself, "This isn't right. The pills I gave them should only cause mental torture and not affect their physical condition."

Thinking of this, she immediately ordered Rong Mama: "There must be a problem, go and help me investigate!"

Aunt Rong nodded repeatedly in agreement, then turned around and went out to investigate the situation.

Ah Cai took out a pill she had made before from the ring space, observed and identified it carefully, and found that it had not deteriorated or had any other abnormalities, and the medicinal effect was still very good.

I picked up the monocular telescope and looked carefully at my uncle and my scumbag father, and saw that their faces were a strange black and yellow color.

"It's only been a few months, and he hasn't gone out, how come he's become so dark and yellow? He looks so ugly! He's just like he's taken drugs..." Ah Cai frowned and muttered in a low voice.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: "Hmm? Drugs? It's not impossible. If they couldn't bear the pain and turned to drugs, it's not impossible!"

Ah Cai muttered to herself, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this guess might be true.

After all, it's common for people who can't handle the pain to seek out alternatives to relieve it.

Drugs, as a strong anesthetic, can temporarily make people forget their pain, but they also bring serious side effects and health problems.

She decided to wait for Aunt Rong to come back and ask her to check whether someone had provided them with drugs. If that was the case, she would have to deal with the matter properly.

After waiting for a long time, Rong Mama walked into the room with a serious face.

She spoke only after seeing Ah Cai, "The two masters of the Yun Mansion are indeed taking medications like painkillers, but because the effects are not good, they frequently change doctors."

"The medicine prescribed by the recently replaced doctor is, in my opinion, just a painkiller mixed with a large amount of purified Five Stones Powder..."

She glanced at Ah Cai and continued, "And the amount of this Five Stone Powder used is constantly increasing, from five times the purified substance at the beginning, to ten times the purified substance!"

When Acai heard this, her mouth opened wide, forming a standard "O" shape.

She asked in surprise, "This is so unexpected! How could this doctor be so reckless? Doesn't he know that this will cause a big mess?"

Aunt Rong scoffed and explained, "Many nobles have taken Wushisan before, but they used smaller doses and it wasn't purified."

Ah Cai's eyes rolled around, and suddenly an idea struck her. She said, "Why don't we bring this doctor back to the mansion and have him teach the winemaking masters the purification techniques, and then have them try making alcohol?"

Rong Mama immediately understood Ah Cai's intention and agreed, "Yes, if we had alcohol, we could use it to disinfect wounds on the battlefield in the future..."

Ah Cai clapped her hands excitedly and said happily, "That's right, it's decided. Let Guard Cai handle this matter immediately! We must find a way to develop alcohol!"

Aunt Rong quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Highness! I'll arrange this right away!"
