Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 754 - 385 Rat Poison Incident_1

Seeing Yan Fei in a daze, the older woman was afraid he would not sell, so she urged him, "It’s still early, you should sell to me before anything happens. If you don’t, people will come to collect management fees. By that time, the amount they take could equate to several catties of vegetables you could have sold."

Yan Fei took the opportunity to ask, "Didn’t I hear that those people were arrested yesterday?"

The old woman glanced warily around before whispering, "My good man, you mustn’t speak carelessly. It wouldn’t be good if someone overheard. Are you selling the vegetables or not? I didn’t even haggle the price you set, it would be really unreasonable for you not to sell."

Yan Fei could not help but stand up and say, "I’ll sell!"

After entering this woman’s stall with his shoulder pole, he noticed her extract the vegetables from the basket while nervously saying, "Don’t talk recklessly about what you said earlier when you leave. You’ve just arrived and aren’t familiar with the people here. Speaking carelessly could bring trouble."

Yan Fei asked humbly, "Who shouldn’t hear it?"

The woman, while in her own stall, lost the caution she had before, "People from the butcher’s shop at the entrance. The owner is a relative of Old Gui from the Public Security Bureau. Yesterday they colluded and extorted several hundred catties of beef from someone. It was only after they pushed that person too far that they got those people from the Public Security Bureau to leave, even Old Gui was taken. It’s rather strange, so many people were taken in broad daylight, yet no news has come out..."

This old woman clearly couldn’t keep her mouth shut. At first, she was cautious outside, but seeing Yan Fei’s young age and noticing that he is not a regular visitor, she found herself talking non-stop.

By the time she finished calculating the account, Yan Fei almost didn’t want to collect the money for the vegetables from her.

Now, not only did Yan Fei get a near full understanding of the situation at the wet market, but he also got a clear picture of the ancestry of the head of public security from this old woman. She spoke of the man’s family’s disgraceful acts during a famine, his father’s act of rebellion against the authorities, his familial betrayal against a relative who was a teacher, and many other actions he committed, all leading up to his brother’s cunning method of acquiring a position at the Industry and Commerce Bureau and his own tyrannical behavior.

As Yan Fei was leaving, the old woman mysteriously warned, "Listen to me! That old tortoise built a half floor on top of his two-story house in the village, making his house taller than everyone else’s. Nobody dares to build any higher than him. Those people are so domineering. Be careful not to speak carelessly when you’re out, or you may not be able to escape if someone hears you!"

’Old tortoise’ is the respectful name this old woman used for the chief of public security. His name includes the character Gui, so everyone usually openly calls him Old Gui. However, she felt she had developed a good rapport with Yan Fei, so she directly used the same nickname they use for him when they talk privately.

In reality, Yan Fei barely said a word. Apart from simply agreeing and instigating with a few angry comments, the rest was all this old woman’s words.

Before Yan Fei left, he remembered something else and asked the old woman, "We have a mouse problem in our field. Do you know where I can buy wholesale rat poison at a cheaper price? The shop below is selling it too expensive, five dimes a piece. I use a lot, so I want to buy more..."

The woman was still vigilant, "Young man, that stuff can’t be used carelessly. Where exactly are you using it? No creature will survive if they eat it. Why do you need so much?"

Yan Fei assured her, "Don’t worry! I’m not using it carelessly. I use it in our vegetable greenhouse. Otherwise, the mice not only ruin the crops, but they will gnaw the whole greenhouse too!"

The old lady seemed relieved, and directed him, "Others wouldn’t know if you asked, only I do. Go along the national highway until you pass the West Suburb Hill, then head north, there’s a pesticide factory there. It’s easy to find, it’s the only factory in that desolate area, its stench can be smelled from afar. The rat poison used here comes from there. They sell it in big bottles, the ones sold in the market are repackaged into small bottles. Be sure to say that an acquaintance recommended you and butter them up. Otherwise, they might not sell to you as you’re a stranger..."

Yan Fei thanked the old woman and continued around the market, he really did hear a lot about this ’old tortoise’ and his various ’scandals’. As it was inevitable, by observing his domineering behavior, it was clear he must have offended many people in the past. Now that they’ve been arrested, several people were making vivid remarks, claiming they must have offended someone powerful since no news has emerged...

In fact, some people knew the car from yesterday’s brawl had come from a nearby county. However, everyone speculated that since Old Gui had not yet returned, it was clear that the other party also had power locally. They are holding onto the detained individuals and are preparing for a fight.

Yan Fei didn’t take the rumors seriously, he was mainly trying to understand Old Gui’s background to avoid any unexpected retaliation. As for the butcher shop owner, Yan Fei walked around for a while but did not see the shop open, he assumed that after yesterday’s incident they might not open today. This matter is not urgent, as long as the man is still there, he can’t run away.

After gathering all the information, Yan Fei directly found a place to take his stuff to the Dinosaur World, and when he came out, he transformed into the inaudible Xiaohei bird and flew into the sky.
