Chapter 352: Who is a fool
The long needle in He Mulan's hand did not dare to relax at all, and his eyes kept paying attention to the two brothers of the Yuan family back and forth, this situation was already better than she expected in her heart, and it was almost like God taking care of her.
But Yuan Hua's broken body, as well as Yuan Fang's stubborn temperament, made He Mulan both worried and anxious, at this time she didn't care how Yuan Fang in her hand would hate her, and opened her mouth to urge Yuan Hua.
"Young Master Yuan, I can't hide it, several patients with the same symptoms as you have been found in the north of Chen County, and several towns and townships have been locked down because of this incident, and everyone is afraid. The plague is not a matter of one country or one family, and if it were not for the purpose of finding out the origin of the plague, we would not have come here......"
She pointed at Kou Yizhi: "He is indeed a Taoist priest of the Kou family, and Kou Tianshi is his grandfather. Although I am not good at curing diseases, I happen to know some knowledge of your plague and can help him. If your two brothers are still in good conscience, Kou Yi and I will do our best to heal you, and we will never break our promise."
Yuan Fang's eyes widened when he heard He Mulan's words, like a drowning man suddenly being thrown a plank, and he couldn't seem to believe his ears.
"I don't count on a cure anymore."
A wry smile squeezed out of Yuan Hua's bruising face, "This thing, huh, this thing...... It's a long story, I really don't have much strength. Ah Fang, come on. I'm afraid you know more than I do?"
When he said this, Yuan Hua's face was full of sadness, obviously the other party would know more than him, and it was a very sad thing for him.
When Yuan Fang heard Yuan Hua's request, he didn't rush to do it, but instead asked He Mulan and Kou Yizhi: "You said that you came to investigate the plague, and that is the official from the government?" Yes, the Heavenly Master Dao is now serving the Great Wei as the right one, then you are the officials of the Wei State......"
Yuan Fang's face showed a look of trying to think, "Didn't you happen to find out that my brother was sick, I'm afraid you have already noticed the Yuan family. No, it should be said that you were suspicious of the Yuan family from the beginning, so you came directly to Xiangcheng. My brother has been sick for only three or four days, and I haven't been seeking medical treatment for two days. You guys...... You originally came here to deal with the Yuan family......"
His face fell into anxiety.
"You're a liar, aren't you? You have been eyeing the Yuan family, whether there is or not my brother's illness, I am afraid that you will not spare us. If this is the case, it doesn't ...... to kill or chop."
"Ah Fang, Ah Fang!" Yuan Hua coughed and called his brother twice. Can we really resist the calculations of the two countries with the strength of one fortress? If you can't resist, what's the difference between deceiving you and not deceiving you? Don't be afraid, don't panic, Brother is here! Calm down! "
After Yuan Hua finished a long series of sentences, he could hardly get up in one breath, and he was so soft that he was directly on the bed, making a disgusting vomiting sound.
He Mullan didn't say much, just put away the long needle in his hand and inserted it back into his hair.
"You...... You don't ......."
Yuan Fang looked up at this vicious Taoist priest.
"If I do kill you, you won't live more than a blink of an eye." He Mullan grabbed a small table and pinched a few legs into powder with his hands.
"Say, as your brother said, you don't have much room now. If the main messenger is not you, maybe there is still a glimmer of life."
Yuan Fang sat on the ground, looked up at the tall and thin man standing in front of him, and only felt that he casually pinched the wooden legs into powder like a god, for a while, Yuan Fang was dyed by this solemn atmosphere, and couldn't help but speak:
"Since a year ago, the sect master of our Yuan family, that is, our father, has begun to secretly carry out a major ......."
He swallowed, and the voice was so loud that He Mullan could hear him as he stood a few steps away.
"My family Chen Jun Yuan family from the Han Dynasty is a big family, after the Song Dynasty, my father understood the importance of changing the court, so he tried his best to make good friends with the Song State's ministers and clans, and finally spent a huge amount of money eight years ago, in the hands of Liu Yifu, who was still the emperor at the time, bought a throne and real vacancy, from then on the children of the family can be shaded, but also to give our brothers a future. Unexpectedly, the Hou was not yet seated, Liu Yifu was killed, and then the imperial court was in turmoil, the Wei State went south, and the three states were seized, and my Yuan family was caught between the two countries......
"At this time, the new emperor of the Song Kingdom ascended the throne, and my father tried to contact the power of the new emperor. It's a pity that the strength of my Yuan family has been greatly reduced, and the side of their victory has long been cheapened in my Yuan family, and now when the heroes are sealed, there is naturally no place for our Yuan family, just like an abandoned son, my father stopped this idea, and only tried his best to manage Wu Bi, wanting to restore his previous strength."
Yuan Fang said with a smile: "The Yuan family can last for hundreds of years, how can a family like the Liu family that recklessly rise up and win the world understand. However, after a few years of hard work, the Yuan family has returned to most of the previous situation. At this time, the Song State thought of us again, first tempted each other with the title and fame, and then took out the letter from the father to contact the Song State Quanchen, and changed it into evidence of foreign communication, while beating and luring, the Yuan family has just gained a firm foothold, and the young emperor of Wei is extremely fierce, where does my father dare to take such a risk, he can only try to maneuver around in order to protect himself."
"I'm afraid it's for the sake of profit and fame." He Mulan snorted coldly, "If you really want the court to denounce it, it doesn't have to be the Yuan family's bad luck."
"There are thousands of households in the Yuan family, and they have to be cautious. Even if it's for money, it's nothing." Yuan Fang pursed his lips disapplausively: "The Wei State has not given us any benefits, and we don't need to be loyal. If it weren't for our Yuan family to be the first to return to obedience, Chen Jun wouldn't know how long it would have been chaotic.". [,! ]
He Mulan ignored him, and Yuan Fang didn't bother himself, and continued: "My father was coerced and lured by that side, and his temperament gradually became weird, and he only put Yuan Jiawubi in his heart, and outsiders were very wary. Later, there was a time, about a year ago, there seemed to be someone on the Song side who was caught by the Wei people, and the Song side panicked and warned my father to get ready, if that important person went to the family of the foreign enemy, I am afraid that there would be a large army going south immediately, and it was impossible to say that all the Wu Forts in the south would suffer, and the Yuan family would be the first family to be razed......"
"No matter how strong my Yuan family is, it can't be compared with the strength of the whole country, especially the two largest countries in the world."
Yuan Fang raised his eyes and looked at He Mulan, and found that she had no expression, and continued:
"About a year ago, my father accidentally discovered that there was an epidemic in a certain place, and the Han people did not die of many diseases, but the local Hu people almost died, and the living people fled to other places in panic......"
"Ah, you mean the pox in Liulin!"
Kou Yizhi probably knew about this, and immediately exclaimed.
He Mulan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, almost untenable.
"My father thinks that this must not be a coincidence, there must be some sick people who are easy to resist, but Hu people will die of illness. As everyone knows, most of the Wei ** people are Xianbei people, at most there are some miscellaneous people, but there are very few Han people, so as soon as my father found out about this situation, he immediately remembered an idea......"
Kou Yizhi's eyes widened inexplicably in horror.
"This ...... This ......"
"You guessed that, didn't you?" Yuan Fang smiled bitterly: "If there is a disease, the Han people don't have much to do, but the Hu people will all die, then no Xianbei people dare to go south. Moreover, those Han people who had pox never got pox again, doesn't this mean that this disease is a weapon given by God to the Han people? That's what my father thought, and he wanted to try a few more of these diseases, and find the one that had the most severe attacks and the fastest killing speed......"
"With the current world, it is very easy to catch a few idlers, not to mention that not long ago, the Xia Kingdom was just warned, and there were homeless people everywhere. My Yuan family's caravan walks around and comes back with floc, and no one will find out."
Yuan Fang was in charge of the caravan, so before Yuan Hua noticed what his father was doing, Yuan Fang had already keenly noticed his father's actions.
"My father is trying this kind of terrible thing, and the strength of the Yuan family alone naturally can't do it. In fact, my father's speculation will intensify, and it is also related to the persecution of the other party. When my father noticed the disease, he immediately thought that it could be used to defend against the army that was going south, because no army dared to march in a plague-ridden land. It's a pity that the people who have been born with the pox disease will not regenerate, and my father has no choice but to try other diseases, preparing to cause chaos at a critical time to protect himself."
Yuan Fang wiped his face.
"At the beginning, my father was afraid that he only had the heart of self-preservation, and as for why he couldn't control it later, it was all because the Yuan family was mixed with Song's fine work. My father began to rob the homeless people for medical examination, and Liu Song also learned of his actions, and after knowing what my father was doing, the king of Pengcheng of the Song Kingdom began to help my father and sent many famous doctors from the Song land."
"At first, it was in Chen County, and then there were more people missing in Chen County, and my father was worried that he would be discovered, so he looked for people who were farther away, mostly looking for people who were lonely and wandering outside, and some of them were single and robbed. My father has some tricks in various places, and later, there is no need for the Yuan family to arrest them, and someone has sent these people to the door for money."
He Mulan forced himself to suppress the urge to kill, gritted his teeth and continued listening.
Now she is listening to the ugliest and most shameless crime in the world, almost no less than the terrible wars of the future.
The most terrifying thing is that the head of the Yuan family pinned his hope of "returning to the Central Plains" on this unreliable speculation just for a guess.
This is not only a madman, but a fool!
Yuan Fang smiled bitterly: "I know that you must have scolded our ancestors for eighteen generations in your hearts. When I found out about this, I was no less shocked than you."
"You don't know the situation of the Yuan family, in the sect, the suzerain is a qiē, the father has been the head of the family for decades, after several changes in the Song State and the Wei State, how many family valves have fallen clean, but the father can make the Yuan family stand tall, and its prestige and means have reached the point where no one can match. Even if my brother and I did something wrong, it was common for me to whip dozens of lashes in front of everyone. Not to mention that we didn't know at first, even if we did, we wouldn't dare to meddle in my father's affairs......"
Boom!
Hermulan "powdered" a few legs again.
He glanced at Yuan Hua: "My brother is upright, and my father didn't want him to know about this matter from beginning to end, until he ...... later."
Yuan Hua closed his eyes in pain, as if he didn't want to listen.
"When you have enough people who are sick, you have to find out which disease is more likely to make people sick and die. When I tried this, the most people died......"
Yuan Fang didn't seem to be willing to mention this matter, and hurriedly brought it over after muttering a few times.
"The more people die, the more frequent the speed of VIPs, the government in Yuzhou seems to be aware of it, and they are starting to get more and more difficult to get hands on, especially in Qinzhou, where they almost can't catch the lone Hu people......"
"At that time, the Xia Kingdom had just been broken, and Rouran was also destroyed, and many women of Rouran and Xia Kingdom were reduced to female slaves, and the defeated soldiers and traffickers were bought and sold everywhere. The Hu people did not have a household registration, and the family members of the deceased did not come to visit their relatives, so the father of the family began to buy some Hu women as household tricks, and many of the guests who were nominally given to them as guests were actually secretly made 'patients'.".
[,! "If you want to buy a bearded girl to cover people's eyes and ears, naturally not all bearded girls will buy it. The tooth man will only choose the beautiful and strong bearded girl to us, and it is at this time that a beautiful bearded girl is sold in, because she is too beautiful, and my father is unwilling to buy it. But my brother didn't know how to be enchanted, but he secretly found those tooth people and bought the beautiful bearded girl in, because he was afraid that his father and sister-in-law would be angry, so he only put her on the side of the housekeeper."
"The situation over there is extremely terrifying, once you enter there, being 'sent out' is not far from death. My brother was nowhere to be found, and when I heard that she had been given away, I immediately went to my father to ask for it, hoping to get someone back, and this was the beginning of the conflict."
"At that time, I only knew that the caravan would bring some people back, but I didn't know what my father did, and later my father's several Tibetan places were almost found by the government, so I simply put the whole thing in the Yuan family's tunnel. My brother was crazy looking for someone, and I was worried that he would do something stupid, so I accompanied him to look for it, and finally found the authentic ......"
Yuan Fang's face began to turn bad, and it seemed that finding the authentic was the beginning of his nightmare.
"That Hu Nu didn't think of her as a 'medicine man', because she revealed her identity after witnessing what was going on in the tunnels - she was a county lord of Helian Xia, and when she fled south to Liu Song, she happened to be a thief, and finally she was plundered out, and sold to human teeth at a high price, and then sold to my brother at a higher price."
"Previously, she was worried that she would be able to live in strange goods, and buying and selling her as a princess would bring shame to the clan. Liu Song felt that her identity was available, so he asked his father not to touch her."
"But once you're in there, it's impossible to come out again. My brother couldn't get it a few times, and he saw those 'medicine people' in the tunnel, and after being tortured by this, his personality almost changed greatly, and he began to disobey his father repeatedly, almost to the point of 'rebellion', and naturally he was quickly rejected by his father; And I have always been thoughtful, but for some reason my father felt that it was of great use, and began to alienate my brother and promote me."
"Brother really likes that woman...... Yuan Fang sneered, "I don't know what is so good about the woman who claims to be the lord of Helian County, but let my brother compromise with his father and save her life."
"As there are fewer and fewer medicine people in the tunnel, forcing my father to continue trying, unless all the people in the Yuan family and Wubi are used to test the disease, no matter how many people there are, there will be no enough people. In the end, a kind of epidemic that died of pus from the whole body barely met my father's requirements, and after several attempts, even Liu Song's people were afraid and did not allow my father to release it in a crowded place, unless there was really a large army going south, otherwise I would rather the medicine people were dead and could not flow out."
"Then why is there a ...... now Yes! "
He Mulan suddenly realized, and almost gritted his teeth.
"Because there's a big army going south, isn't it? It's a brute, even more terrible than the Rouran people blocking the cavalry with living people! "
"It is precisely because there is a large army going south, coming straight towards the border of Song and Wei, that there is panic, and my father is also panicking." Yuan Fang's face was calm: "Stay in that tunnel day and night, even a good person will become a patient. The lord of Helian County somehow also contracted the epidemic, although the epidemic is not strict, but the appearance is completely ruined, the father in order to let the brother die, so let the brother go to see the sick Hun girl, but the brother not only did not die, but like crazy, wanted to save the Hu girl out, and then I found out, in the back of the ......"
He covered his face in pain.
"If I knew this was the case, why should I accompany him to find some orchid! Even if we don't know anything, it's better than it is now! "
Kou Yizhi and He Mulan were shocked by this fact and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and Yuan Fang screamed and cursed everyone in pain. He cursed his father, cursed the names of Liu Song and the emperors of Wei, cursed those who were sick in the first place, cursed God, and cursed himself.
His curse grew louder and louder, and Yuan Hua's expression became more and more sad because of it.
"Retribution!"
He wailed and exerted all his strength and cried out:
"Retribution!"
