Chapter 274 The Stable Boy Transforms into a General
The nanny brought porridge to the four people in the kitchen.
The four men were still grumbling and cursing when they saw the bland porridge.
They felt this was a show of force from the new manager.
What was originally yours has been taken away by someone else.
I'm just not happy no matter how I think about it.
Seeing this bowl of porridge only fueled my anger.
The old woman comforted him gently, saying that since he was injured, porridge would be easier to digest.
This porridge was specially prepared by the kitchen; it was simmered for several hours and smelled wonderful.
Everyone is looking forward to their return.
The new manager has a terrible temper and is always finding fault. Everyone is hoping they can recover quickly so that the new manager can back them up.
The old woman wasn't talking nonsense.
The new person in charge was all about making a splash in his new role.
When the nanny went to the kitchen, the person in charge was finding fault with the person washing the vegetables.
What vegetables aren't washed properly, resulting in excessive waste?
The four of them felt much better after hearing what the old woman said.
I found the old woman's words agreeable.
They've been in the kitchen for so many years.
This kitchen is their territory.
The new manager started interfering in their territory as soon as he arrived.
If they weren't currently recovering from their injuries, who would have the right to point fingers and tell them what to do?
All four of them wanted to recover from their injuries as soon as possible and return to the kitchen.
Let's see who's really putting pressure on them.
All four of them drank the porridge that the nanny brought them.
The old woman watched them drink the porridge and then took the bowls back, leaving no evidence whatsoever.
I feel unwell and don't want to get up.
The nanny even brought it to his bedside and fed it to him.
The old woman took the bowl and returned to Xiao Ma's side.
"Granny, have they all finished their porridge?"
Little Ma looked at the old woman expectantly.
The old woman nodded.
“He drank it all, and I even fed him the ones who didn’t want to drink.”
The bowl was brought back as well.
Besides, I've checked, and there's no one around.
Nobody saw me go there.
They probably don't know it was you who drugged them.
The old woman held Xiao Ma's hand and reassured him.
"Granny, thank you, thank you. Seeing them suffer has eased the knot in my heart."
"Granny, it's a pity you'll have to go to the estate."
Little Horse was very excited.
Just thinking about how the medication is already taking effect on them.
Xiao Ma was extremely agitated because he was suffering from severe abdominal pain and had to go to the toilet frequently.
"Xiao Ma, I know you're worried that they'll find me later and harm me."
So they want me to go to the estate to hide away.
"I'm not upset, it's just that I won't be able to take care of you anymore."
They got diarrhea after drinking the porridge she brought them.
If it were just one person, it would be easy to explain. But if all four of them are like this, it's obvious that she tampered with the porridge.
We'll find out then that she's with Xiao Ma.
I'm afraid they'll come to torment Little Horse again.
Xiao Ma said he had already made arrangements to get her a job at the estate.
fair enough.
Later, when they couldn't find her, they couldn't pin the matter on Xiao Ma.
For the past two years, she has taken care of Xiao Ma's daily life and diet.
I go to the kitchen every day.
But she always went very early.
We arrived early, and although there weren't many dishes, there weren't many people either.
The servants haven't gone to the kitchen to eat yet.
The four people hadn't gone over yet either.
Each of them held a certain position in the kitchen.
They would always go to the kitchen a little later, just to make a show of it and get through the housekeeper's inspection.
After learning that Xiao Ma had a grudge against them, the nanny became even more careful to avoid them.
To prevent them from finding out that the food she took was for the pony and then hatching some bad ideas.
Therefore, they do not know the old woman at the moment.
Unless she reappears later, they have no way to identify her.
That way, it won't involve Xiao Ma.
And today she deliberately mentioned the new person in charge.
They also wanted to shift the blame onto the new person in charge.
This made them suspect that the new manager wanted to target them.
Whether or not there is evidence is not important for some things.
Once suspicion begins, there is evidence to support it.
"It's alright, Granny, I can take care of myself, don't worry."
If it's really inconvenient for me, I'll ask someone to help me.
As you know, I'm quite popular with people now.
Granny, please pack your things, you'll be leaving soon.
Old Zhang from the estate will be here soon; you can go to the estate with him.
Xiao Ma has more plans for the future.
So they wanted to get rid of the nanny as soon as possible.
Little Horse didn't want Granny to know about the plans that followed.
If the old woman knew, his final plan was to kill them.
That might stop him.
After all, the old woman was a kind person.
Granny was the kindest person Xiao Ma had ever met.
She really is like a mother to me.
Therefore, Xiao Ma didn't want Granny to get involved in what happened later.
He didn't want the nanny to know what he had done.
Xiao Ma didn't know if his plan would succeed.
If he fails, he will harm the old woman. Therefore, he must send the old woman to the estate.
Old Zhang from the village owed someone a favor, so he was willing to bring his nanny to the village.
And if asked further later, Old Zhang would say that the old woman went to the estate yesterday.
What happened today has absolutely nothing to do with the nanny.
The old woman nodded.
She was also afraid that staying here would cause trouble for Xiao Ma, so she packed her things and waited with Xiao Ma at the back door.
The nanny on duty today had a few drinks and is fast asleep.
Old Zhang came over and took the old woman to the estate.
Little Ma watched as the old woman left.
He was very grateful for the care his nanny had given him over the past two years.
If he has the opportunity later, he will take care of his nanny in her old age.
Xiao Ma took out the dagger from the room and carefully sharpened it.
Then I prepared a few more branches.
One end is sharpened to a point, making it easier to pierce the skin.
There are also stones that have been polished to a very sharp point.
The back gate was closed at night, and the nanny on duty never came.
She estimates she won't wake up until tomorrow.
Xiao Ma left, taking with him the tools he had prepared beforehand, and headed towards the outhouse near the four-person house.
Although the four people were injured, their injuries were not serious.
Getting out of bed is still possible.
So when the toilet in the room is full, they will run to the outhouse.
Xiao Ma believed the dosage of the drug he had given.
They would go to the latrine.
Just like him back then.
Little Horse went into the outhouse and waited inside.
I wonder who was the first person to come to the outhouse?
Little Horse kept its eyes open, adjusting to the darkness.
He is currently immobilized, so we must strike decisively in a moment.
Otherwise, they might be counter-attacked.
Xiao Ma wouldn't have chosen to do this if he hadn't known they would collapse from prolonged diarrhea.
This is the only method Xiao Ma can think of so far.
This was also his only chance to avenge himself.
Little Horse has been waiting for this day for a very, very long time.
There was a sound outside.
Someone ran towards the outhouse.
Little Horse heard that person's voice. It was him; he had arrived.
Xiao Ma gripped the dagger tightly, holding his breath as he waited for the person to enter.
Finally, the man rushed into the outhouse.
Xiao Ma clearly saw him squat down with his back to him.
Xiao Ma had been in the outhouse for a long time and had gotten used to the smell, but he still smelled a stench.
A series of "puff puff puff" sounds.
The person relaxed a little.
He was muttering curses under his breath.
Xiao Ma took out a dagger and held it out towards the person in front of him.
Then the dagger was inserted into his body.
The person was unaware of what had happened.
How did a knife suddenly stab into my back?
He tried to turn around to see what was behind him, but he fell down.
He knelt down on the ground.
Little Horse carefully moved over.
Pull that dagger out.
He took out the sharp branch and inserted it into the wound caused by the dagger.
Then they pushed the corpse into the latrine.
The pony remained hidden in the darkness.
Waiting for the next person.
The second person arrived.
The second person also rushed into the outhouse.
After I had completely relieved myself, I belatedly realized that there seemed to be a bloody smell in the latrine.
He quickly figured out what the smell of blood was.
He was passing blood.
Xiao Ma pushed the dagger further inside.
That person also collapsed.
Xiao Ma pulled out a dagger.
Insert the branch in the same way.
After taking down the two men, Xiao Ma felt his hands trembling.
The physical exertion was too great.
Little Horse leaned against the wall to rest and recover its strength.
After taking down two people in quick succession, Xiao Ma's heart pounded wildly, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Lights could be seen coming from outside.
The person outside is carrying a candle.
If he came in with a candle, he would be able to see the scene inside the latrine clearly.
Xiao Ma chose this moment to walk out of the latrine.
The person who came saw someone at the entrance of the outhouse and became anxious.
"Hey, wait a minute, let me go first, I can't hold it in anymore."
"I... I can't hold it in anymore either."
Little Horse refused and pretended to go into the toilet.
The man ran even faster.
As I ran closer, I realized it was a pony.
Therefore, it moves very slowly.
"Oh, it's Little Ma. Aren't you going to fall into the latrine like that? Do you need my help?"
"No need, I can manage on my own."
Little Horse continued to move slowly toward the outhouse.
"You don't even have a candle, it's pitch black, what if you fall in?"
"Come, come, take this candle."
The person shoved the candle into Xiao Ma's hand.
"Hold this carefully, it would be bad if it fell on the ground and caught fire."
Little Horse held the candle in both hands.
If you're holding something in your hand, you naturally can't move it.
The man squeezed directly into the latrine.
"I was here first, how did you get in?"
Little Horse moved the candle to the side to block out the light.
"What do you mean you got here first? I got here first. I'm inside, you just wait outside."
The man deliberately lingered, not getting up even after finishing, intentionally occupying the latrine and making Xiao Ma anxious outside.
Hearing Xiao Ma's anxious words, he even hummed a little tune in a good mood.
Xiao Ma couldn't hold back any longer and begged him in a low voice for a long time.
They finally took pity on him and let him have his way.
The man got up, but his legs went numb from squatting and he couldn't stand up.
My body tilted to the side, and my hand touched something sticky and gooey.
Who the hell took their shit outside?
"I can't stand up, please help me up."
The man called Xiao Ma in to help him.
The hand, which seemed to be covered in something, was held far away.
Little Horse carefully placed the candle on the ground.
They slowly moved towards the outhouse.
"Little Ma, hurry up, are you in yet?"
The person had their back to the door, and now they've fallen to the ground, lying there like a giant turtle.
"Coming, coming, just wait a little longer, I'll be there soon."
The little horse slowly moved behind the person.
He cut his neck with a dagger.
With an incredulous expression on his face, the man plunged headfirst into the latrine.
Little Horse took the candle and shone it inside.
There were many stains and bloodstains on the floor and walls of the latrine.
If anyone sees this, they'll know what happened here.
But now he has candles.
He could just burn this place down in the end.
All traces will be burned away.
Little Horse waited quietly for the last person.
The man arrived quickly, without keeping Xiao Ma waiting long.
The man was so focused on his stomachache that he didn't notice Xiao Ma at all.
It was dark in the outhouse, but the man didn't care and just squatted down to relieve himself.
Seeing Xiao Ma appear in front of him, he was still a little confused.
I don't understand why he's here.
Little Horse solved the problem for the last person.
He threw the dagger and other items he was carrying into the latrine.
They lit the thatch on the roof of the outhouse with candles.
Little Horse left the outhouse, with a raging fire behind him.
Suddenly, the latrine exploded.
A loud bang was heard.
The pony was also overturned by the explosion.
Little Ma was also knocked unconscious by the explosion.
When Little Horse wakes up.
Several people were gathered around the bed.
Ask Xiao Ma what happened when the latrine exploded.
After the explosion, they found four bodies there.
The bodies were torn to pieces by the explosion.
However, it was later discovered that the four people in the kitchen were missing, and these four corpses should be those four people.
Xiao Ma was the only person nearby at the scene.
Although the pony had a lot of dirt and blood on it.
However, the area around the scene was covered in blood and dirt.
These are just splattered debris from the explosion; they don't prove anything.
Moreover, Xiao Ma is a person with mobility issues. How could someone like that kill four people?
That's clearly impossible.
Xiao Ma described the scene at that time.
That evening, the four of them went to Xiao Ma's room and took him to the outhouse.
The four of them were in a bad mood because they had been punished, so they wanted to torment Xiao Ma.
Their way of tormenting the foal was to make it eat excrement.
The original intention was to bring Xiao Ma to the outhouse, but the outhouse was too small, and it would be too crowded for five people to squeeze in.
So we left the pony outside.
Anyway, since Xiao Ma has difficulty moving around, I'm not worried that he'll run away.
The four of them took candles and went into the latrine, intending to scoop out the excrement from the latrine.
But shortly after they went in, the latrine caught fire.
Then the explosion occurred.
Little Ma was also stunned by the explosion and knew nothing about what was happening.
Xiao Ma asked fearfully, "Butler, how could the latrine have exploded?"
If what Xiao Ma said is true, then it makes sense.
Given how those four people treated Xiao Ma before, it's understandable that they'd vent their anger on Xiao Ma now that they're being punished.
Although toilet explosions are rare, they do happen.
This usually happens in latrines that haven't been cleaned for a long time.
It seems that the time spent cleaning the outhouses should be shortened in the future to avoid such incidents from happening again.
What exactly happened back then, no one knows now.
That was the end of it.
