Chapter 110: The Truth
Hearing this, the Imperial Forest Army thought carefully again. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "County Lord, before I was sick, my subordinates drank the water from the well outside the city, because they were in a hurry, so only one of my subordinates drank it, and the others didn't have time to drink it......"
Hearing the words of the Royal Forest Army, Chu Xiaoxiao's expression was sharp, and then he instantly turned his head and said to Wei Rin: "Go check it immediately!"
At noon the next day, Wei Rin came back after running around for almost a night, and after seeing Chu Xiaoxiao, he hurriedly said: "County Lord, the matter has been clarified, the plague in Yongzhou City is indeed a problem. ”
Because of the previous assassin's dereliction of duty, Wei Rin worked extra hard when investigating this matter, and in less than a little time, he almost walked through Yongzhou City.
"Oh?" Chu Xiaoxiao raised her head to look at him, and then said, "What's the matter?"
Wei Rin said with a straight face: "Yongzhou City is short of water in ordinary years, so there are not many wells outside the city, and ordinary people use the shared wells in the township for water, while most of the rich and noble families have their own wells. ”
After speaking, Wei Rin took out a white porcelain vial from his arms, handed it to Chu Xiaoxiao, and then said, "This is the well water that his subordinates brought back from outside the city. ”
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes slightly, opened the porcelain bottle and took a look inside, although the water was not very clear, but there was nothing unusual.
But she also knew that, according to Wei Rin, if there was really something wrong with this plague, it must be in the water source.
The wells used by ordinary people are public, while the wells of the rich and noble are in their own homes, which can explain why the plague is infected with ordinary poor people, while those with a little money are fine.
"Take people and keep an eye on these wells, and if you find someone with bad intentions, don't be alarmed first, and follow them to see whose people it is. Chu Xiaoxiao put the porcelain bottle on the lid and said immediately.
Wei Rin's expression was shocked, and he also knew that this matter must be extraordinary, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, my subordinates obey the order." ”
After Wei Rin received the order and left, Chu Xiaoxiao went to find Chu Ci with the well water that Wei Rin brought back from outside the city.
Since crossing over, although Chu Xiaoxiao has also seriously studied Chu Ci's medical books, medical skills are not something that can be learned in a day.
For Chu Xiaoxiao, medical skills and martial arts are not the same, after all, she was a killer in her previous life, but medical skills are something she has never dabbled in before. 、
Therefore, Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't see the problem in the water for a while.
A moment later, Chu Xiaoxiao arrived at Chu Ci's courtyard, and then handed Chu Ci the water that Wei Rin had brought back from outside the city.
"Dad, is there a problem with this water?" Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Ci, suddenly spoke, and asked seriously.
Chu Ci carefully sniffed the liquid in the porcelain bottle, and only after a while did he speak: "There is indeed something in this water, but what is it, I have to study it again." ”
"Good. Chu Xiaoxiao nodded, and then sat down a little tired.
I have to say that Chu Xiaoxiao is really tired now, even more tired than when she was alone in the enemy camp in her previous life.
If she was in charge of this matter for Chu Ci at the beginning, she really wants to save these people now.
Even if these ordinary people may soon forget when she did it, and hear the slightest rumor and become popular, in the end, in this world, it is these ordinary people who are the most innocent.
The lives of the thousands of people in Yongzhou City may be just a discardable chess piece in the eyes of the superiors.
"Is Xiaoxiao tired? If you're tired, go and take a rest. Chu Ci said with some guilt.
Although he is not familiar with popular affairs, he is not a stupid person in the end, and he can naturally see that the reason why Chu Xiaoxiao interferes in these things is entirely because he can't handle the affairs of Yongzhou City well.
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, and then said to Chu Ci: "It's okay, Dad, you don't have to worry." ”
"You still have wounds......
Seeing that Chu Ci was about to talk at length again, Chu Xiaoxiao hurriedly got up, and then said to Chu Ci with a helpless smile: "Dad, I'll go to rest, I'm going to rest." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Chu Ci to speak again, Chu Xiaoxiao left as if she had fled.
After this day, Chu Ci personally went to investigate outside the city, and sure enough, he found a problem in the well.
This so-called plague is not an epidemic at all, but someone deliberately poisoned it, and this epidemic is not contagious, but it is poisoned too widely and there are too many people who have been poisoned, which will give people the illusion that it is a plague.
On this day, Chu Xiaoxiao sat in Chu Ci's courtyard, looking at the small porcelain bottle of water that Chu Ci brought back again, and her expression was very unkind.
She was right, she came to Yongzhou from the beginning, and after knowing the situation in Yongzhou, Chu Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong.
This year, the northern generation of Izumo Province can be described as a good weather, and this year is also a rare good year, how can there be a plague for no reason?
And in the past few days, whenever the epidemic outside the city has improved, it will immediately worsen, and it has almost fallen into a kind of dead circle. Now that I know that someone is making a ghost, Chu Xiaoxiao has a murderous heart.
After a while, Wei Rin, who was standing on the side, spoke: "Lord Chu, the county lord, the person who poisoned the well outside the city was discovered by us, and after following up, we saw that the person had been in and out of the city several times, and that medicine hall was Zhang Million's property. ”
As soon as the words fell, the porcelain bottle held by Chu Xiaoxiao in her hand was crushed with a "pop", and the broken porcelain pieces flowed to the ground along Chu Xiaoxiao's hand mixed with the water inside.
Seeing this, Chu Ci was taken aback, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no wound on Chu Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Zhang Million!" Chu Xiaoxiao sneered and said, "Okay...... Okay very!"
Chu Ci asked tentatively, "Is it Zhang Million?"
Chu Ci naturally knew about the banquet held by Chu Xiaoxiao before, although he was a little worried that Chu Xiaoxiao would offend all the rich merchants in Yongzhou City by taking such a risk, but what Chu Xiaoxiao did was also for the people, so he didn't say anything.
At this time, when Zhang Million was mentioned, Chu Ci was also somewhat impressed.
"No, if it was just Zhang Wanwan, he would definitely not have such courage. Chu Xiaoxiao said with a frown.
In this way, the people in the city are infected with diseases for personal gain, and it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Million's hands to be alone
Pen. After all, such a thing is tantamount to playing with fire**, and even they themselves have to get into it if they are not careful.
