Chapter Seventy-Five: Finding the Truth
I was going to report this to you, but you have been working very hard these days, and I don't know what it is, so I don't have to make a big fuss, but veterinarians are scarce, and I have invited more famous veterinarians from several nearby cities last night, and I am still waiting for you to dispatch them!"
"Well, it's a good job, I didn't expect it to be a big deal as soon as I came, but after listening to the words of the summer withered grass just now, it was not in vain that I searched for it, since some people think it's a trivial matter, then I can only do it for the heavens, and be the master!
Oh, and also, find a way to send some supplies to Prunella, remember, she doesn't leave a trace, she's easy to refuse other people's kindness, you know. ”
The guard nodded immediately and turned to go.
Ji Zigong hooked his finger at the air again, and whispered: "You go and help me find out what happened to Prunella recently, it's so embarrassing, I look a little distressed!"
The dark guard glanced at him, didn't say a word, snorted coldly, and left.
The door was pushed open, the fist was drawn, the drinking was drinking, the gambling was gambling, and a good yamen turned out to be a kennel, not a shape!
Ji Zigong slammed the scabbard on the door with a heavy bang.
Everyone's eyes looked at the door, and there were many people with red faces, and they could hardly see the appearance of the person at the door, only one of them staggered to his feet and scolded:
"Bold, who dares to break into the yamen, if there is something to redress grievances and beat the drum, why do you dare to hit the door with a sword, are you provoking us, don't you want to live?"
Ji Zigong's eyes gathered thousands of anger, and his palms were almost pinched by himself, and he said in a deep voice: "The drums of the yamen are used to remind the government to solve problems for the people fairly and openly, but I think your drums here are like an ornament, knocked to play!"
The other person drank almost unable to distinguish the direction, blushed and slapped his neck on the table, took out the scabbard next to him and shouted angrily: "Bold fanatics, dare to play with the government, come here, take them down for me." ”
Several soldiers in armor came out of the side, holding long swords in their hands, and replied: "Yes", and ran over to surround Ji Zigong!
The guard drew his sword and shouted: "Bold, dare to speak wildly in the palace, you know the county, don't you come out quickly!"
When the drunken man heard this, he laughed wildly and said: "To deal with you, we people are enough, if you want to see our magistrate, I'm afraid I'm going to go to the Yin Dynasty Difu to see you, take it for me!"
After speaking, those who surrounded Ji Zigong with long swords slashed at Ji Zigong head-on, and Ji Zigong's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at them motionless like a cheetah.
The guards beside him had already flown to block the long sword, and the scabbard in his hand hit the man's chest, and the man was shattered and flew out three meters away, and fell heavily to the ground, knocking down the two people behind him, and the three fell together.
The remaining few people immediately took a step back and looked at each other, this is the master of the meeting, how can they fight with the catch of a few of them who take care of the house?
Ji Zigong's fan stabbed, unfolded in the wind, graceful, and said in a very good mood: "I'm not here to make trouble, I just want to see your magistrate, I never thought that after making trouble for so long and making such a big noise, I haven't seen him yet, isn't his heart too big?"
When everyone saw this, they all began to be silent, and even the drunken and troublesome man did not answer.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and Ji Zigong's eyes flickered: "Okay, that's the case, we won't waste time, let's go!"
The guard put away his sword and left behind the dashing Ji Zigong who was holding a fan in his hand.
As soon as the door closed, the drunk man hurriedly gathered everyone to wipe his sweat and said: "This person is not good at first glance, and he can't hide his wealth and wealth, what do you say he is looking for the county, we are afraid that it will be exposed!"
"Will you worry too much, there are a lot of people who come to make trouble like this, our attitude must be resolute, although they are practicing the family, but we are many people, and we are the important place of the yamen, unless you don't want to die!"
"Yes, you see, it's not over if we send it away, it's not that we don't report about the county, it's just that we report it later, the emperor is far away, who will care about coming here!"
"Okay, don't worry about it, come, you won the last one, don't want to run, we're still waiting to win it back!"
"That's it, you like to do this kind of thing!"
After a pull, the courtyard returned to normal, and the same as just now, the fist stroke, the drinking, the gambling, the gambling, it was not lively.
Ji Zigong turned around the corner of the street and hooked his finger, a guard hurriedly stepped forward, and Ji Zigong whispered: "Go and check the cat in this!"
The guards flew up, climbed to the roof, and headed straight for the backyard.
Ji Zigong shook his fan and walked towards the inn, all the way the vendors shouted and the shops were lined up, the things were complete, countless, I didn't expect that this place seemed to be in a remote location, but the materials were diverse, prosperous and rich, Ji Zigong looked at this situation and smiled sincerely.
The world of the Ji family, if it has been developing towards this, it should be a grand plan for the world.
Xia Kucao looked at the sky helplessly, and the black clouds were in the same mood as her now.
However, if the yamen does not come forward, then who should show compassion for the people in the disaster, and who will stretch out the rescue hands?
No, the top priority now should be to try to find out the cause of the plague, so that we can prescribe the right medicine and curb the spread of the disease, instead of feeling sorry for ourselves here and thinking nonsense.
Once Xia Kucao figured it out, she hurriedly went to the place where she had just come, she asked someone, that place should be Wu Hongyan Yes, some of the local people have realized the coming of this disaster, and Wu Hongyan is currently the center of the death storm.
Prunella made a very important decision after finding four or five pig carcasses discarded in the grass in a row.
She found a nearby village, which was so dead that many of them were closed, and only a few would occasionally go out and burn paper money for blessings.
Xia Kucao patted an old woman on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma, I want to ask you something." ”
The old woman frowned at first, and only returned when she had seen the prunella clearly: "What do you want to ask?"
Xia Kucao smiled and said, "I want to ask Grandma, have a lot of pigs died in our village recently?"
Grandma immediately became nervous, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I can't raise pigs as an old woman, and I don't care about other people's pigs!"
Seeing that she refused to answer, Xia Kucao did not want to ask, but glanced at the pigsty next to the house, which was empty, but the new green grass in the pen could not deceive people, which showed that they had fed the pigs not long ago, but now they denied it.
Xia Kucao looked at the pigsty next to these houses in confusion and didn't see a single pig, but the strange thing is that these pigsty have traces of recent pigs.
What was the reason for the old woman's refusal to answer her question?
Xia Kucao decided to squat, she hid behind the eaves and watched the movements of the people nearby, the plague is a small thing, it spreads very fast, if it is really the whole village is infected by the plague, then it will be troublesome.
Prunella was a little apprehensive, and when she was anxious, she heard a noise nearby, and the sound was a little desolate, it was the sound of a pig.
Xia Kucao hurried over, lying behind the bamboo and secretly watching, it was two strong men carrying a pig of about 100 catties, passing by here, the pig on the board closed its eyes, still humming, as if crying, but there was no resistance, no trace of struggle.
Prunella frowned, sure enough, here, another pig is sick, where are they going to send it or are they going to throw it away?
Xia Kucao quietly followed behind the two people, and suddenly the top of her head touched the clothes drying on the bamboo pole, Xia Kucao raised her head and looked, feeling a little guilty in her heart, she is now unclothed, should she "borrow" a dress from the old woman to wear?
Prunella searched for the old woman, but there was no sign of her, and her hand slowly reached for the coat, and closed her eyes and tore it off, which was a black calf-length coat.
Xia Kucao wore it and bowed three times towards the old woman's house, and said to herself: "I'm really sorry, maybe you don't have any extra clothes, I'm not stealing, although I don't have any silver for you now, but when I earn the silver, I will definitely come to pay you back, I'll wear the clothes first, goodbye!"
With a guilty thorn, Xia Withthered grass put on her clothes and followed closely behind the two men.
The coat worn on the body is particularly conspicuous in a piece of emerald green, this is the first time that Prunella grass wears black, in the Wu clan, you can only wear black when you participate in funerals, but this is obviously not the case, and you can occasionally see many people wearing this kind of black on the street, so let's follow the customs!
Xia Kucao followed behind him for a long time, and finally saw the two people stop, sweating profusely and putting the board on the ground, one of them said: "It's a pity, big brother, the pigs we have raised for more than half a year are gone, it's really unlucky!"
"Who said it wasn't, the old mother was not in good health, and she suffered a lot in order to raise this pig, just to have meat to eat during the New Year, now it's good, I'm afraid it's not good this year!"
"I don't know why, how did this kind of unfortunate thing happen to our village, the pigs in the whole village died, killed, there are not a few left, the remaining few heads, and people are worried, for fear that one day they will no longer eat, if they can leave a few heads, slaughtered for the New Year, it is good to buy some meat!"
"Originally, there was hope for our pigs, you see, the pig of Lao Zhang and Lao Wang next door was lost overnight, and we lived for two more days.
I thought I had escaped, but I didn't expect it to come a little later, I knew I would have slaughtered it the next day, maybe I hadn't contracted this disease yet!"
"It's strange that it's been two days, this time I heard that there are not only livestock deaths, but also a lot of people, just next door Fenshui Village a girl 18 years old, yesterday inexplicably died in the pigsty, and the pig lay together, I don't know if it was infected and died, which made people panic, the door did not go out of the second door, such a large-scale livestock death, the government no one came to ask. ”
