Chapter 50: Swine Fever

He said angrily: "Dare to come and steal my livestock, are you guilty?"

Before Song Ci could speak, Wen Cheng said angrily: "You are bold, this is the master of our criminal department, you dare to say that it is a thief, can you be guilty?"

He was a little panicked, but he couldn't figure it out, and said angrily: "The lord of the criminal department? How do I trust you? Presumptuous, I obviously want to apologize to my domestic animal, but I say that I am an adult, and you know what crime you have committed?"

Song Ci said: "Boss, Song is just standing outside the gate, why do you want to say that Song is a thief?" Yamen] You have to take one person to arrest people, Song has nothing in his hand, what did he steal from you?"

He said angrily: "If you had stolen goods in your hands, you would have absconded a long time ago, do you think you are still here at this moment?" I guess I have already escaped!"

Wenwu said: "Joke, there is no human and material evidence, why do you say that we are stealing?" Tell you, this is our lord of the Criminal Department, you wronged him for stealing, do you know that I can arrest you right now?"

He could hear the voice, the words were round, the sentences were powerful, and now he finally believed it.

"Since it's a sentence, I don't know what to do in the chicken farm? I'm just a breeding farm, so the sentencing lord shouldn't think I'm breaking the law!"

Song Ci said: "The boss is serious, Song is just here because of the problem of swine fever, there are some things I want to ask the boss, I don't know if it is convenient at this moment?"

"Swine fever?"

"Yes, Song heard that this swine fever was reported by you, could it be that you once knew a little about pigs?"

The boss was silent for a while, and then said: "I'm just a chicken farmer, my lord, I don't know about this matter, anyway, I only know that the pig in Zhu County is sick."

"And how do you know that these pigs are sick? Could it be that you can tell by yourself?" This.. My lord, the death of these pigs is a big piece of death, everyone will know that there is a disease, if you want to say that this is an ordinary disease, but what is it if the death in pieces is not swine fever?"

Song Ci nodded and looked in all directions.

"Since the spread of swine fever, it is estimated that your chicken farm business is good, how much income can you earn a day?"

"This... It was only a few dozen taels of silver a month, and it couldn't be sold before, but now the supply is not demanded, so it can be said that the business is indeed better. ”

Wenwu said: "Then I don't know when swine fever started?" Also this month?" He thought for a while, "At the beginning of the month, hundreds of these pigs suddenly died overnight, it's a pity, they are all about to be released from the cage, who don't you say is distressed when they die like this?"

Month? The chickens also started to be sold around the beginning of the month, does this matter have anything to do with him? A chicken, can he still poison pigs?

"Adult, the small ones only know so much, and I don't understand any more, it is said that these swine fever are from other places, and I don't know other places, but this bamboo county is over, these pigs may not be able to live, and it is a matter of time before they die."

Song Ci was silent, if this swine fever was deliberately brought in, then he was also illegal, and as a criminal officer, he couldn't let them go.

After watching it for a while, everyone left, walking on the road, Wen Cheng said: "My lord, is this incident the work of this chicken farm owner?" As soon as the pig dies, the price of his livestock will rise, and no one will dare to eat pork anymore. ”

Song Ci said: "I'm not sure about this question for the time being, but this person is absolutely suspicious, and the departure of the county magistrate is probably because of swine fever, he is afraid of eating meat or getting sick, so he left."

A dignified county has fled, how can the people live? What is this system?

"Let's go, I'll go find a veterinarian to see, this case, there must be an ins and outs, right?"

After looking on the street for a long time, through inquiry, several people finally came to the door of a veterinary shop, which was originally prosperous business, but it was empty at the moment, which was a little strange.

There was an old man in the room who was napping, squinting his eyes, and his spirit was not bad, and Song Ci was awakened as soon as he entered.

"Let's go, about this swine fever, I don't look good at the old man.... I've never encountered this kind of disease in so many years, it's really weird!"

Song Ci said: "The shopkeeper misunderstood, I didn't come here to buy medicine, but I had a few questions to ask."

The shopkeeper said, "Got a problem? In that case, then you can say it, as long as the old man knows, he will definitely know everything, and he will tell you in detail. ”

Song Ci was silent for a while, "Shopkeeper, it is said that you know when this swine fever spread?" What measures has the local magistrate done?"

"This..., it seems to be a month, it's strange to say, these pigs died hundreds overnight, I don't know if it's people dyed pigs or pigs dyed pigs, less than a month has passed, the big pig farmers in the county, they have suffered heavy losses, and now they have to work in vain for many years."

"Overnight? In this way, this incident did not happen by accident, someone must have deliberately brought the swine fever?"

"This....", the shopkeeper couldn't tell me about it.

"Guest officer, old man, I'm just a veterinarian, although I say that I treat livestock, but I really can't help with this matter, many live pigs, many of them are about to be released from the cage, and they die like this, who is not a pity?"

Song Ci nodded, a pig can be sold for one or two silver, it is indeed a pity, it is a personal distress.

"The shopkeeper can guess, is this incident man-made, or is it an accident?"

According to the old man's guess, the accident is unlikely, it is very likely to be man-made, just ask, how can so many pigs die overnight? This is almost impossible.

Everyone was silent, and Wen Wu said: "Shopkeeper, do you know who people are suspicious recently?" Or, do you know who it is?"

The shopkeeper said angrily: "Who else? Who else but they raise chickens, ducks or other domestic animals? It was because the pork was easy to sell that they became jealous, and so..."

"So they brought this swine fever back and deliberately infected the pigs?

The shopkeeper replaced him with silence, he knew it for a long time, but there was no evidence. Song Ci remembered that although the hotel shopkeeper said that the swine fever was rumored by the owner of the chicken farm, he was absolutely suspicious.

Leaving from the veterinarian's shop, everyone walked on the road, "Wencheng Wenwu, you immediately rush to all the vegetable markets in the county, or private vendors, and tell them that they can't sell pork from tomorrow, otherwise they will be fined fifty taels of silver." ”

"Okay sir, let's do it now."

Song Ci returned to the Yamen, and Qin Xiaoyue and Lu Sheng were there.

"My lord, where did Wencheng Wenwu go? Why didn't I come back with you?" Song Ci said: "Song asked them to go to the market to talk, and they will not be allowed to sell the plague pork from tomorrow, otherwise they will be fined fifty silver."

"This trick is really good, as long as the source is cut off, the swine fever will be controlled, and it may not be better.

Inside the house, Qin Xiaoyue had already prepared the food, and just as Wen Cheng Wenwu had also returned, he was informed of what had happened just now.

"My lord, we have brought the word that the gang has promised not to sell pork after tomorrow, and they have promised to kill all the live pigs, and then come to collect the money.

Song Ci said: "Since this is the case, let's sit down and eat, after working for most of the day, it's time to eat at this moment."

Qin Xiaoyue said: "My lord, I just don't know what to do with these dead pigs?" Have you been keeping it in the homes of these farmers?"
