Chapter 51: Discovery
Tian Yingzhou looked at the master and bowed his head and said, "The little one has seen King Jin and Master Shan Mingsi. ”
"What about you?" King Jin looked at him and asked.
The master replied unhurriedly: "Back to King Jin, my lord, he happened to have something to do, please forgive me." ”
"Outing? There is chaos in this county, the plague is so severe, where did he go? "King Jin is not easy to fool.
Tian Yingzhou didn't make a sound, got up and opened the window, looking at the tumbling street outside and frowning slightly.
The master behind him said: "This little one didn't ask, he only said that he wanted to ask the monk to find a prescription for the plague." ”
Ask what you can ask, and at a glance, you will know that this master is an old fox, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Tian Yingzhou muttered secretly.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he fixed his eyes on a weak old woman on the street.
"In that case, then let's not bother and take our leave." With that, she pulled Youfu and hurried downstairs.
Seeing that the master was stunned for a while, he was puzzled and grabbed King Jin to get up, and then he got up to give it away.
King Jin was full of doubts, and couldn't understand what she was doing? Seeing her walking towards the old woman, he hurried over.
The master's eyes darkened, and he lost the gentleness he had just now.
A catcher next to him quickly recognized the old woman and said, "Isn't that from Yasuda Villa?" They shouldn't have come to check the rice grain, right? ”
"They check on them, let's not care, we don't fall into the handle, let them do whatever they like." The master said.
"But the plague has not been reported to the court, what if the matter is found out?" Catch Kuai said in a low voice: "Master, do you want me to send someone to solve it directly?" ”
The master glared at him coldly, "Solution? Do you know who he is? I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat even his guards. ”
The catcher was said to be extremely unhappy, but he could only hang his head and stop speaking.
"Send someone to keep an eye on them, I have to tell the adults about this matter, and if you want to solve it, you have to use your brains, otherwise you won't be able to help him if you have ten." The master looked at him and sighed before leaving.
The catcher touched his nose and glanced at King Jin and Tian Yingzhou, and then followed stupidly.
At this moment, Tian Yingzhou didn't have time to pay attention to them, and when she caught up with the old woman, Youfu's heart was already beating wildly.
Youfu walked behind her and couldn't help but choke up and shouted, "Mother......"
Aunt Cheng suddenly paused and turned around slowly, the vicissitudes of life on her face made the tears of the young fu fall slowly.
Tian Yingzhou was also shocked, although Aunt Cheng in her mind was not delicate from a big family, she was also gentle.
"Aunt Cheng......" she couldn't help but whisper.
When Youfu was about to step forward to hug her, Aunt Cheng hurriedly stepped back and said in a panic: "Second Miss, Youfu, why are you here?" ”
"Mother's ......" Youfu didn't expect her mother to avoid it, and she was full of loss.
Tian Yingzhou was also a little puzzled, but she understood when she saw the rash on her hand.
"Aunt Cheng, are you sick too?"
Youfu was shocked when she heard this, and she also saw it, and said in a panic: "Mother, how do you feel?" Why...... Why ......"
"Youfu, don't panic, how can you serve the second lady carefully like this." Aunt Cheng shook her head and sighed.
"Understandable, but the plague will be resolved soon." For some reason, Tian Yingzhou has 100% confidence in Jiang Chengyou.
However, her words made King Jin's brows furrow slightly.
She has a good relationship with Jiang Chengyou, and she has so confidence in him.
Youfu also choked up and nodded: "Yes mother, Dr. Jiang will definitely find a prescription, you will definitely get better, you must." ”
Aunt Cheng's nose was sour, and tears filled her eyes, in the end, she was a daughter she hadn't seen for a long time, how could she not be worried in her heart, and how could she not be excited when she saw it now.
Tian Yingzhou looked at them for a while before saying, "Aunt Cheng is going back to Antian Villa?" ”
"I have been driven out, and everyone who is sick has been driven out." In order not to infect others, the villa gave them a few taels of silver and drove them away.
She was sick and couldn't go to the capital to find her, so she could only sit and wait for death every day, waiting for death to come.
Youfu wanted to cry again, but she endured it.
Tian Yingzhou nodded, she also understood how the villa handled it, but after staying at her residence, her brows were furrowed.
"Didn't the villa give you any money?" A few people crowded into a small room, and it was still broken and leaky, of course, they didn't go in, just watched at the door for a while.
Aunt Cheng smiled bitterly: "Give it, just a few taels of silver, now the price of rice has risen sharply, and it is difficult for us to have food and clothing for three meals." ”
"It's disgusting." Youfu clenched her hands into fists, scolded in a low voice, and looked at the young lady in embarrassment.
Anyway, she is also the lady of this villa.
Tian Yingzhou didn't mind, but agreed: "It's very hateful." ”
"By the way, Aunt Cheng, I want to ask you something." She asked suddenly.
Aunt Cheng was afraid of infecting them, so she stood far away from them, "You say, the old slave will do my best to tell them." ”
"What is the situation in Nan'an County now? The county government, the plague, and the rice grain are all there. "Listening to the master say that it is a waste of time, it is better to listen to someone who can be trusted, Tian Sakura asked.
After a few seconds of silence, Mrs. Cheng said: "As far as I know, at first, it was due to the food shortage in Fu'an County next door, and they all came here to buy rice. But once again, the county adults petitioned the villa, and there were some millet merchants, and they decided to raise the price of rice after discussion, and after a long time, the price of rice became higher and higher, which made the people complain. ”
"But for some reason, the county government suddenly closed its door, and the villagers couldn't see the county adults if they wanted to complain. Aunt Cheng elaborated.
Tian Yingzhou and King Jin glanced at each other, and King Jin then asked, "Is the plague infected when Fu'an County came to buy rice?" ”
"This is actually not, when they came to buy rice, they did not hear that there was this plague in Fu'an County. However, there are a few people in our county who have developed this condition first. ”
Aunt Cheng's words made Tian Yingzhou's eyes light up, and she analyzed in a low voice: "That means that the source of the plague is Nan'an County, but why did the county adults choose to close the county?" ”
King Jin took over and said, "Auntie, do you know who was infected at first? ”
"One is the county government's Yahuan, the other is the shopkeeper of Huang Ji Rice Shop, and the other is a fast catcher...... The rest is not clear. Aunt Cheng shook her head unexpectedly.
When Tian Yingzhou heard this, he immediately heard one of the important pieces of information.
She looked at King Jin and said, "County government! If you guess correctly, the source of this plague is the county lord of Nan'an County, otherwise he would not have chosen to close the county, and he also concealed the plague and did not report it to the court, I am afraid that he was afraid of losing his official position. ”
King Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and at this time he was still in the mood to joke: "I didn't expect that you are not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine and cooking, but also solve cases." ”
"It's a little smarter than everyone else." Tian Yingzhou replied modestly at all.
Youfu's nerves, which were originally tense, couldn't help but smile when she saw Miss say this.
Tian Yingzhou returned to the topic and said: "What should I do next?" ”
"Since it's a secret matter, they will take action when they are in a hurry for a long time, and of course they must strike first at this moment." After King Jin smiled evilly, he looked at the little calf and ordered, "Go to the county government!" ”
Tian Yingzhou's face was crimson, and she followed shyly, seeing that Youfu was a little stunned.
It was rare to see the young lady have this side, and she saluted her mother before following behind.
The catcher who followed them saw them rushing towards the county government, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly went back to report.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he was discovered by the little calf, who jumped up to them and leveled them with one kick.
They fell to the ground, clutching their chests and screaming.
Two guards hurriedly put a sword against their necks and held them in place.
When the guard at the door saw this, his face turned white with fright, and when he was about to turn around and go in to report, one of the guards grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
The guard was already lying down, screaming in pain.
King Jin glanced at the little calf, and the little calf understood, walked to the gate, and kicked the door open with his foot luck.
Tian Yingzhou was stunned, it was the first time she had seen someone open the door so rudely.
The door was kicked open with a thud and staggered.
The guards hurriedly poured in, holding their swords and quickly controlling the soldiers, who were so frightened by the sudden intrusion that they hurriedly dropped their weapons and did not dare to resist.
Except for a few rebellions that don't know whether to live or die.
"Please save us, save us ......"
Tian Yingzhou was stunned for a few seconds, and then was full of anger.
I saw a large wooden cage in front of the courtyard, surrounded by wood, and a catcher was holding ecstasy incense and diesel in his hand, and he knew what he was going to do next.
Inside the cage were as old as women and children, about a dozen or so, all of them were pale, rashed, and scratching in pain.
"Brute!" Tian Yingzhou had a cold face and scolded angrily.
