"A few bad masters are good, the village chief of Xiaowangzhuang is below, I don't know which poor master gives a shout, the villain wants to see the old man......" At the gate of the Tongzhi Ya in Tanggu, in a white ice and snow, the village chief who suffered was accompanying him carefully, and looked at the poor man in the gatehouse flatteringly.

The official standing at the gate didn't even raise his eyelids, and he didn't have time to pay attention to this bad old man with a snowflake head, the two looked at the swan feather snow, rubbed their hands and stomped their feet and chatted.

"At noon today, we have to get together, the seafood hot pot in the coastal building is a must, four or five of us can get together an eagle ocean, you can come to him a pot, half a catty of pot wine to eat, that's called beauty......"

"Oh, the bonus in this foreign bank has just arrived, and the gluttonous worms in your kid's stomach are making a fuss? You dare to spend an ocean on a meal, and your daughter-in-law will have to make you kneel on the washboard ......"

"Phew, she dares! Money is a man's guts, since my income has doubled, my daughter-in-law is called gentle, and she no longer dares to stare at me. Grandma's, save money for another two years, and I will also marry a concubine and taste the taste of being a master......"

When the two officials said this, they laughed at each other, and the laughter was a taste that only men understood. In fact, it is no wonder that these officials are smiling happily, since Lotte moved to Tanggu, these officials can be regarded as living a good life.

Mr. Xiao is worthy of riding the God of Wealth on the Black Tiger, all the people who eat Yamen rice in Tanggu City, one is counted as one, and Lotte Foreign Bank will give a heart, how much money the public opens, and the foreign bank still opens a share. And when it's cold, you will be rewarded with firewood and charcoal, and you will also share wine and meat during the holidays.

No one in the world will not get along with money, and it is precisely because of these additional incomes that the unhappiness of Lotte Foreign Bank's strong entry into Tanggu has long been forgotten in the back of his head, and now the Tanggu business district and these officials are extremely supportive of Xiao Letian.

And these well-informed servants also found a bizarre legend, it is said that now Zhou Mingkui and Zhou Tongzhi have fallen down within the door wall of Xiao Letian, in the realm of Tanggu, Xiao Letian is already a well-deserved emperor.

Of course, rumors are rumors, and no one dares to check whether they are right or wrong, let alone who will go against money? Last month, the head of the rotten gambling ghost cell was not just shouting at the wine table that Xiao Lotian bought officials with a lot of money, what kind of big sin and so on. As a result, he drowned in the gutter that night.

Since then, no one has gone without opening their eyes to provoke Lotte Foreign Travel, and these officials don't dare to straighten their waists when they pass by.

The village chief of Xiaowangzhuang was about to freeze at this time, and when he saw that the nostrils of the two officials were facing the sky, he knew that it was not possible to open the road without money, so he quickly took out a string of copper coins with body temperature from his arms, and handed it over respectfully.

"The two masters buy some wine and drink, it is not a respect, it is not a respect...... "Since you see the money, it will be boring to take it again, and the official who knelt on the washboard took the copper coin and flipped it over, and he already knew how much it was, and he felt that the number was okay, and his face brought out a smile.

"Well, I know your village, Xiaowangzhuang, right, tell me why you have to come under the heavy snow?"

"Two uncles, our village is in trouble...... the village chief wiped his tears and repeated what happened from the night before yesterday to today, and the two officials were a little distressed when they heard it.

"Hey, this calamity is still in ......a string? But let me tell you, old man, that the adults went to the beach today to watch the snow scene and chant poetry, but they don't have time to worry about some trivial things. In this way, I'll let you meet the master, prepare the case first, and then report to the master later, you don't see if it's ......."

"Okay, okay, all listen to you!" The old man didn't dare to have half an opinion, so he waited in the gatehouse, and it took a long time for a Shaoxing master to come out. Another bribe was handed over, which master agreed to help him report, and tossed for a long time until the village chief walked out of the Tongzhi Yamen, it was almost noon.

Master Shaoxing watched the village chief walk away, shook the silver in his hand, crooked his mouth, and sneered: "Sue the complaint? Hehe, now the adults are patting Xiao Letian's ass, who dares to take your case......? Poor people!"

The village chief didn't eat in the city, but just rushed to the village with cold noodles in the north wind, and now the whole village is waiting for his news, he doesn't dare to delay for half a minute.

But when he returned to the village, the old man who was frightened at the time almost sat on the snow, and it turned out that after a morning's work, there were already twenty children in the village who were bedridden with a high fever.

"How did this happen? How did this happen? God is going to kill us...... Don't spread the plague, but don't spread the plague...... Woo woo!" the old village chief cried urgently.

How can you not be in a hurry, in ancient society, plague was a terrifying event that could be named as good as wars, earthquakes, floods and other disasters. The control of plague in all dynasties was very strict, and there were twenty people in a village with a fever, which was enough to isolate the standard.

At that time, there was no state financial subsidy, so if the people of this village were isolated, they would have to fend for themselves.

In fact, everyone also knows in their hearts that since the firewood and straw stack fire the night before, the people in the village have been frightened, and the heat wave of the fire has smoked, coupled with the cold northwest blowing, and many elderly people have already felt uncomfortable.

And yesterday during the whole day, it was a foreigner who bought land, and it was Huang Xiucai who threatened, plus the two devils personally came to send firewood and grass to the good people, they were surprised, happy and afraid, and people's hearts were violently stimulated, and it was easier for evil qi to enter the body.

Until last night's killing of livestock, the weak villagers finally couldn't support it, and there was a rush in their hearts.

In fact, there are two main types of plagues in ancient times, one is the plague caused by bacteria in the hot temperature in summer, and the other is the common cold in the cold winter.

At that time, Fleming, who discovered penicillin, had not yet been born, and in the era when there were no antibiotics, a small cold could kill people, and the ancients were not afraid when they heard the word typhoid fever.

This time, the village chief can't listen to Huang Xiucai's nonsense anymore, and the firewood and grass left by Xiao Letian for everyone is a lifesaver. "Move, hurry up and move firewood and grass, each family will move the amount for three days first, whoever has a sick number will move more, first heat the house, and then give the sick number hot water to drink......"

Under the command of the village chief, the whole village moved, adults and children began to carry firewood and grass to their homes under the wind and snow, and a few people ran to Tanggu City to ask for a doctor.

Xiaowangzhuang's experience is not isolated, there are large-scale typhoid epidemics in the three unlucky villages, and people can't care about anything in the face of life and death, and Huang Xiucai's ban is completely forgotten.

Huang Liu got the news after lunch, and he was so angry that he ran over with his housekeeper and his subordinates and scolded: "You unfaithful pariahs, how can you use the small favors of the enemy......?

"Huang Xiucai, you also open your eyes and see, there are so many patients in the village now, what do you let us do? You have to let us live, you say something nice, why don't you bring us your firewood and grass?"

Huang Xiucai's face couldn't hold back at that time, he had never been blinded by mud feet since he was a child, and he never thought that the stinky farmer would dare to rob him.

"What are you talking about? you tell me again......" Huang Liu, who was angry, scolded, "Okay, good, you have the ability, you are powerful, there is a kind of begging me next year, there is a kind of ...... your children going to school."

"Stinky mud foot pole, you dare to be rude to me, rude to me is rude to the saint, you wait for ......" Huang Liu scolded and left the village, on the one hand, he was angry and on the other hand, he was afraid of infecting the epidemic in the village.

"Butler, you sent someone to burn all the firewood and grass at night, it was given by Xiao Letian, that's not a good thing......" The housekeeper suffered when he heard this, "Young master, this, this, this, isn't this good......?

"Shut up! Don't you even dare to disobey me? Are you going to rebel too...... You go, you will personally take someone there tonight, don't go back to this house if you can't do it......" The housekeeper didn't dare to say a word when he was scolded by Huang Liu.

The plague spread so fast, in the afternoon half a day's work, the number of people with fever has exceeded thirty-five, so strict zhòng epidemic so that the doctors in Tanggu City were also caught off guard, and the frightened doctors opened a bunch of herbs and turned around and ran, for fear that they would be infected if they ran late.

The illness became more and more severe, and by the time the lights were held at night, a hundred people in the three villages had developed symptoms of fever, and fear enveloped all the surrounding villages.

Huang Liu's housekeeper sneaked into Xiaowangzhuang at midnight, and the unlucky housekeeper took the family around to the edge of the firewood pile outside the village under the heavy snow, shook his head and sighed, "Don't blame me, I am also forced to do it, I really don't let good people live these days!" After speaking, he waved his hand and let the family members start to do it.

The fire was polished, the dried corn leaves were kindled, and then they were soon gathered into several small fires, and the remaining pyres were finally lit by the wind.

But just as the butler was about to escape, a dozen white monsters suddenly flew out of the snowdrifts behind them, and a tiger pounced and knocked them all down in the snow.

"The arsonist has been caught, the thief who set the fire has been caught...... Someone is coming to the village!" The mournful shout alarmed the whole village, and when the people saw the frightened and trembling housekeeper, the people of Xiaowangzhuang were completely furious.

"Kill him, kill this brute, it turned out that you did it, and we are still treating you as a good person...... Kill him!" the crowd rushed up and tried to do it, but the dozen or so white monsters were gone.

"Fellow countrymen, we are the guards of Lotte and the Lord Xiao Letian sent us to protect you...... These bastards can't cheapen them, let's report to the officials and let the government come forward to deal with them......"

The white monster shadow is a foreign escort wearing a white snow camouflage suit. With the support of Wang Huaiyuan's intelligence, they easily spied on Huang Liu's every move, and it was easy to catch a few arsonists.

Taking advantage of the night, the arsonist was escorted by the villagers and guards to the Tongzhi Yamen, and Zhou Mingkui began the interrogation with unprecedented efficiency, and the confession was obtained that night.

"Mr. Xiao, it's recruited, those people have all confessed, Huang Liu is the source of this rumor, ninety percent of the rumors in our special industrial zone are made up by that kid. Zhou Mingkui took the confession and sent it to Xiao Letian's house overnight like offering treasures, and at this time Xiao Letian didn't sleep at all, he had been holding a secret meeting in the study.

"Okay, with a confession, we can make an example, let's let the people of Tanggu take a good look at what kind of face these scholars are, and what we look like......!
