Chapter 401:-for-tat
"Lord Liu, please continue." Xia Shaoyuan said lightly.
Liu Jingzhi was interrupted several times in a row, and he couldn't remember what he just said for a while, Xia Shaoyuan reminded lightly: "You just said that the people want to go back on the mountain, but for the sake of epidemic prevention, they are willing to cooperate." ”
"Yes, it is here that Xia Guan said, although the people are like arrows, but they are also willing to cooperate for the sake of the overall situation, but in the past few days, there have been rumors that monsters eat people, and the people will not stay in the mountains anymore, and they are shouting to go back to the city for refuge."
Liu Jingzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Shouyi when he said this: "I don't know my lord? ”
Zhang Shouyi frowned: "Naturally, I just sprinkled the medicinal powder, not to mention that these people come back to affect the efficacy of the medicine, and there may be a danger of accidental ingestion." ”
Wu Yi frowned on the side and said, "What kind of monster eats people?" Can anyone see it? I think there are some wild beasts that hurt people and are misrepresented by the people, right? ”
Liu Jingzhi wiped the sweat on his forehead again: "The lower official also thought so, but he led a few government soldiers to look around, and he didn't see any traces of the beast at all, and there was no blood.
Listening to the people who were sleeping in the open, in fact, the disappearance of this person has been happening since the beginning of the flood, but before everyone was panicked, and fewer people thought that they were swept away by the water, or eaten by wild beasts, and no one thought about it. Now that the order on the mountain has settled down, and there are still fewer people, the people are uneasy. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Xia Shaoyuan's expression also became grim: "Do you know how many people are missing?" ”
Liu Jingzhi said with some trepidation: "The exact number can't be counted by the lower officials for a while." Judging from what the officials have learned in the past few days, there are already hundreds of missing people. Even if it's a beast eating people, that's too much. ”
Fengying City is not large, and the population in it is only more than 30,000. Although Fengying City was severely affected, the county guard responded properly, and most of the more than 30,000 people settled down in the back mountain.
There are a few hundred fewer of these people, which would have been inconspicuous, mainly some missing people. There are also wives and children. This disappearance, the family members made a fuss, and everyone was shocked to realize that such a disappearance has been happening all the time. And it's been getting worse lately.
Xia Shaoyuan was silent. Wu Yi frowned and said, "What kind of beast monster does he care." With me Wu Yi here, even if it is a monster, I will also give it a prototype. ”
Xia Shaoyuan glanced at Wu Yi, and suddenly turned to Zhang Shouyi: "Lord Zhang." What do you think? ”
Zhang Shouyi was not interested in any monsters and beasts, so he just sat on the side and waited for the maid to serve tea, when he suddenly heard Xia Shaoyuan ask him, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled again: "Lord Xia, you are now presiding over this Fengying City, is this a monster or a beast, is it not your word?" ”
Xia Shaoyuan looked at Zhang Shouyi coldly, Zhang Shouyi picked the corners of his mouth, and looked back lightly, seeing that the situation was a little-for-tat.
Wu Yi on the side frowned and said: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, why are you talking like this, if you know something, you might as well say it, let's refer to it together, I believe that if the adult is here at this moment, Imperial Doctor Zhang is afraid that he will not reply to the adult like this, right?" ”
Zhang Shouyi glanced at Wu Yi, this Wu Yi doesn't know anything, what kind of mess!
If the woman was there, he wouldn't be like this, but isn't the woman there now? Moreover, such a good opportunity to step on this world's number one talent, how could he let it go?
Xia Shaoyuan sneered faintly and turned to Liu Jingzhi: "Lord Liu, you go down first, let us discuss this matter." ”
Liu Jingzhi agreed and retreated.
Zhang Shouyi straightened his sleeves: "Where is this person dead, where is my water?" I'm dying of thirst. So saying, he stood up and planned to go out.
"Zhang Shouyi!" Xia Shaoyuan's cold voice came.
Zhang Shouyi's figure froze, turned around, and said with a smile: "Lord Xia, I'm just an imperial doctor, I won't participate in your discussions about big things." ”
"If the little prince says this, he is not afraid of falling into the prestige of the Holy Land?" Xia Shaoyuan sneered.
Zhang Shouyi glanced at the courtyard outside, and saw that the maid had already come over with a tea tray, but he raised his hand to close the door of the hall.
The maid didn't know why, so she had to stay in the courtyard.
Zhang Shouyi turned around, put his hands on his sleeves, stared at Xia Shaoyuan, and smiled with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth: "What's the matter?" Even the Holy Domain knows, Xia Shaoyuan, you are really not simple! ”
Xia Shaoyuan still looked indifferent and elegant, sat on the chair, and said lightly: "The Holy Domain is just a trick made by the Southern Xinjiang royal family to rule the foolish people, and it's not a secret!" ”
But obviously Wu Yi on the side didn't know, and looked at Zhang Shouyi with some surprise: "What holy domain, why don't I know!" ”
Zhang Shouyi sneered: "Really? As soon as the words fell, the hall, which had been a little dark because the door was closed, suddenly darkened, as if some black mist had risen from the four corners of the room, and there seemed to be a terrible rustle around it, but when you listened carefully, it seemed that you did not hear anything.
Wu Yi's face changed: "Zhang Shouyi, what are you doing?" ”
Zhang Shouyi glanced at Wu Yi coldly: "Shut up, otherwise this young master will help you shut up!" ”
Wu Yi glared at Zhang Shouyi, his mouth opened, and he closed it depressedly. He didn't want to comprehend the Gu art in Southern Xinjiang, besides, he could also see that this Zhang Shouyi was just not dealing with Xia Shaoyuan, although he didn't know why, but if it was just a battle of will, he would just stand aside and watch.
Although what was happening in the house at the moment was extremely strange, Xia Shaoyuan still looked calm and light, and seemed to be unmoved by Zhang Shouyi's methods.
Zhang Shouyi secretly grinded his teeth, what he couldn't see the most was this pretending to be elegant and noble, but that stupid woman ate this.
"Say, Master Xia, how do you know these secrets?"
Xia Shaoyuan smiled faintly: "Naturally, someone told me." ”
"Who?" Zhang Shouyi's expression became a little solemn, these secrets that Xia Shaoyuan knew, except for the people in their holy domain, the people outside could count them with one hand, those people back then, they had already died, and the missing ones were missing, this Xia Shaoyuan now said that someone told him, could it be that there were still people alive in those people back then?
But if that person will tell Xia Shaoyuan this, right?
Zhang Shouyi's face suddenly became difficult to look at.
Xia Shaoyuan's handsome face suddenly appeared with a light smile, in this gloomy room, his light smile was like a lightning bolt that cut through the darkness.
Zhang Shouyi stared at Xia Shaoyuan's movements.
I saw that Xia Shaoyuan slowly rolled up his sleeves, and his wheat-colored, muscular arms were exposed inch by inch, and he didn't stop until he rolled up to his big arm.
Zhang Shouyi held his breath.
"Little prince, have you ever seen this thing?" Xia Shaoyuan said with a light smile, but in a flat tone, there was an indescribable mockery. (To be continued.) )
