Chapter Ninety-Nine: Assassination

Early the next morning, everyone sent the swallow out to find out the news. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info first, she is dressed as a local, which is not easy to be noticed, and second, she is a little girl, which sounds more convenient to play. Who would have thought that a weak little girl would have something to do with stopping the plague?

"Those officers and soldiers actually began to arrest innocent civilians, but anyone who was sick and coughed, regardless of whether they were suffering from the plague or not, would be arrested and sent to the incineration site." The news brought back by Yanzi made everyone angry, "He Laoqi's fourth brother was also arrested, I heard that he coughed twice last night, and was heard by the neighbors, and when the officers and soldiers arrested people, someone told the secret." ”

"Someone snitching? Aren't you particularly disgusted with officers and soldiers, how can anyone still tell you? Wang Yizhu asked.

"It's not like you're looking at the money. Last night, the government posted a notice to offer a reward, but anyone who finds an abnormality can get ten taels of silver as long as they report it. Now there are notices posted everywhere in the city, and it's hard to know it. The swallow also quietly pulled a notice back. The notice is indeed the Yunnan Prefecture Government.

"Is there any Heavenly Principle King Law left? I'm in a hurry, I'm going to kill that bullshit general, and that Zhu Youcai, a raccoon dog, it's not a good thing. He Xiaotian scolded bitterly.

There are fewer and fewer plague patients in the city, and the general and Zhu Youcai are also becoming more and more anxious. As soon as they were in a hurry, the common people suffered.

The situation is getting worse and worse.

In the past few days, those officers and men have not only arrested those who are sick, but also ordinary people who are in good health. For that meager reward, the ugly faces such as framing, chasing after the wind, and making small reports were fully displayed. What is appalling is that in order to offer a reward, a son falsely accused his father of suffering from the plague, causing his father to be captured by officers and soldiers.

The ruffians are also not allowed to live in peace, and they go door-to-door to collect "protection money" with great fanfare, and if anyone does not pay, they will appear in the list of whistleblowers the next day and be arrested by the government. Those impoverished ordinary people who could not afford to pay the "protection money" were either arrested or hanged themselves at home.

Due to the decrease in the number of plague patients, the interval between incineration has been extended, and the burning used to be once every three days, and now it is burned once every six days. Every time it is burned, the great general wearing a bronze mask will appear.

The general sat in the high stands, not looking at the common people who were howling and struggling in the flames, but looking around, as if waiting for someone. On the day of the incineration, the number of troops in the incineration site will also increase dramatically, without exception.

He Xiaotian proposed several times to assassinate the vicious general, but Bai Lufeng stopped him, "The government has strengthened its vigilance and began to search all the controlled houses in the city door to door. They must have found some clue that they did something. At this juncture, we should not act rashly. Only then did He Xiaotian control the urge to kill.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial court made such a big move, could it be that the Wu clan really let it go? This is not like the usual way of the Wicans. Could it be that something happened to the Wu Clan? Every time he thought of this, Wang Yizhu was worried.

Worry is worry, the Wu clan has not appeared, so they have to continue to wait.

In the next few days, during the day, Wang Yizhu and Yanzi were busy preparing antidotes. At night, Bai Lufeng and He Xiaotian still went door-to-door to put it out.

In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly three months since the plague began.

On this day, Zhang Xiao slept uncharacteristically. At noon, there was still no "listening to the wind pavilion". After a few days of getting along, Zhang Xiao has a bold personality and superb medical skills, and will go to the east courtyard every day to help dispense medicine. On several occasions, he even offered to go to the night to deliver the antidote.

If it had been a change of the past, Zhang Xiao would have been busy in the courtyard at this time, but it is difficult to find it today.

I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

Suddenly, a drop of blood entered Wang Yizhu's field of vision. The blood had dried up and was on the edge of the door. Could it be that Zhang Xiao had an accident?

Pushing the door in, the blood stained more and more, extending all the way to the side of the bed. Walking forward quickly, I found that Zhang Xiao was wearing a night suit, her face was pale, and there were three wounds on her arms, two shallow and one deep. It was this deepest wound that caused him to lose too much blood and faint. Blood stains can be seen everywhere on the bedding and pillows. The wound was haphazardly covered with fresh herbs, which he should have applied himself while he was conscious.

"Why is Brother Zhang injured!" In the end, it was a little girl who had never been in the world, and Yanzi was frightened by this scene, and the medicinal herbs that she had originally held in her hand fell straight to the ground.

"Hurry up and help, take care of the wounds." Wang Yizhu called Shangyanzi to treat Zhang Xiao's wounds.

This is the first time that Yanzi has helped treat a patient under the guidance of Wang Yizhu. After treating the wound, he prescribed another prescription and asked the swallow to grab the medicine and boil the medicine. An hour later, the medicine was boiled, and Zhang Xiao took it. Zhang Xiao is still unconscious, but her pulse is gradually stabilizing and she is no longer in serious trouble.

"I have carefully examined Brother Zhang's wounds, sword wounds. More than one person wounded him was due to the siege. Brother Zhang is a doctor, he stayed in this Fang family's house during the day, and never left half a step, how could he come to the enemy's house? He was dressed in a night out, he should have gone out at night, what did he do when he went out? Who did you meet? Although Brother Zhang is dressed as a scholar, his martial arts are not low, who can hurt him so badly? Wang Yizhu returned to the room and told Bai Lufeng and He Xiaotian about Zhang Xiao's injury and the doubts in his heart.

"Zhang Xiao's medical skills are superb, but he may not be a doctor. If nothing else, the person who fought him last night was the general sent by the imperial court. Bai Lufeng spoke, "In the middle of the night last night, Xiao Tian and I went out to distribute medicine and found a man in black heading in the direction of the state capital. The man in black stretched out his hand quickly, and came out from the south of the city, and his figure was extremely similar to Zhang Xiao. Xiao Tian and I were about to follow up to see what was going on, when the poisoned men in black suddenly appeared, disrupting our plans. Fearlessly, we went into hiding. ”

Although the general did all the bad things in Yunnan and was outraged, he acted quite blatantly, and was supported by the governor Yin Zhu Youcai, which shows that he was indeed appointed by the imperial court. He has 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, Zhang Xiao dared to fight against the general, and his courage was not small, which made people admire. No matter what his origins are, it is a good thing for the people. "White Land Wind Road.

"The general is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and those who can mobilize him must be the powerful of the dynasty." Wang Yizhu added.

"Madame is very right. In today's imperial court, there are very few people who can mobilize the generals, I am afraid that only the emperor, Hu Guifei, and the prince of Qi. It is not known whose idea it was this time. Bai Lufeng analyzed, "But one thing is certain, their purpose is definitely unseemly, otherwise, how can they hide from the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces?" ”
