It was a shame both pigs were dead. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go through this trouble.
After a lap around the market, Qin Fang finally found a suitable target...
A dog.
In this era, many families kept dogs to guard their homes, so there was no shortage of people selling puppies.
However, they were mostly puppies; no one was selling adult dogs.
Qin Fang hesitated, wanting to ask if any large dogs were for sale.
'Then again...' he thought.
He was using the dog to test for poison, so naturally, the weaker it was, the better.
The weaker it was, the faster the effects would show.
In the end, he settled on a puppy that looked just old enough to eat solid food. Qin Fang decided it would be the one to test the meat.
He asked for the price—just over a hundred copper coins. After paying, Qin Fang carried the puppy home by the scruff of its neck.
The puppy was very well-behaved during the process, with a docile temperament, and didn't struggle at all.
