"Please save my wife and children!" The old man cried a handful of snot and tears, and kept kowtowing to Xia Bingzhuo.

Xia Bingzhuo was dressed in a gorgeous suit, the boots under his feet were inlaid with gold silk dragon patterns, he had a bulging beer belly, one hand behind his back, and the other hand pretended to stroke his mustache, he looked like a clean official, and said vigorously, "You make things clear from the beginning, so that this official can administer justice for you, I don't know what happened to your wife and children?" ”

As soon as the old man heard that Xia Bingzhuo wanted to administer justice for him, he kowtowed to Xia Bingzhuo excitedly two or three times before he spoke, "My lord, Xiaomin's wife and children are infected with the plague, and their lives are on the verge of dying, please save them, Xiaomin begs Master Qingtian!" ”

"Plague......... Pestilence?! Xia Bingzhuo looked frightened, hurriedly retreated a long way, pulled out the handkerchief in his sleeve, covered his mouth and nose tightly, and stared at the pathogen crawling on the ground with fearful eyes.

Not only Xia Bingzhuo had such a reaction, but everyone around him was like this, and the surrounding spectators retreated in panic, only a snow-white figure hidden in the crowd stood in place without moving, slender legs, straight waist, finely carved perfect side face, a dark mask that was as weird and mysterious as the eyes of hell, slender eyelashes, a pair of deep eyes, and the whole body exuded a royal nobility that was difficult to hide, even if such a person threw him in the sea of people, It can also attract people's attention at a glance.

On the side, although Liang Quan was also surprised, he still reacted immediately, and hurriedly pointed at the people on the ground angrily and scolded, "Bold, how can there be any plague, don't talk nonsense in front of adults." ”

The old man raised his head angrily, a pair of cloudy eyes hated Liang Quan, and scolded, "You dog official, you are afraid that the plague will reach the ears of the emperor, you lost your black gauze hat, even concealed the plague, and did not allow us to go to the hospital for treatment, as a parent official, you bend the law for personal gain, and ignore the life and death of the Li people, you are simply a shameless dog official!" ”

"Bold!!" Liang Quan was so angry that his two bulging eyes seemed to be popping out of his sockets, and his whole body trembled into a sieve, pointing at the old man, "Someone... Why don't you drag this untouchable who is ashamed of his words and insults his official to me, and he will be executed immediately! Execute!!! ”

"Yes!" Saying that, the guards on the side stepped forward and set up the old man in two or three clicks, although the old man fought to the death, but the disparity in strength was too great, so he had to turn to Xia Bingzhuo, who had not spoken for a long time, and said loudly, "Big lord, there is really a plague in Longcheng, if the big lord is a good official, please save the people of Longcheng, otherwise I won't be blind to the grass people!" ”

Xia Bingzhuo's eyes turned slightly, looking around, there was already a small discussion in the crowd, he was most concerned about his official voice, if he didn't care about this matter now, he was afraid that it would have an immeasurable impact on his people's voice, he didn't want to take care of this matter, His Majesty handed over this matter to him, just didn't want the news of the plague to spread from Beiyuan, and was afraid that the enemy country would take advantage of this to make a fuss and take the opportunity to attack Beiyuan, but now, he had to take care of it.

"Wait." Xia Bingzhuo weighed it for a long time before he spoke, and for a while, everyone's eyes looked at this "good official".

"What's the matter, sir?" Liang Quan was licking Xia Bingzhuo like a pug at the moment, which was completely opposite to the attitude towards the old man just now.

Xia Bingzhuo didn't pay attention to Liang Quan, but looked at him with a cold look, Liang Quan saw Xia Bingzhuo's eyes flying towards him like a blade, and hurriedly lowered his head, he knew in his heart that that look was clearly a dissatisfaction and warning to him.

Xia Bingzhuo stepped forward a few points, but he was still a distance away from the old man, and when the guards saw Xia Bingzhuo speak, they let go of the old man.

Covering his mouth and nose, Xia Bingzhuo slowly spoke, "This official came to Longcheng to investigate the plague on the order of His Majesty, so naturally he must fulfill his duties and live up to His Majesty's trust in this official, you said that your wife and children have all contracted the plague, what is going on?" Faster than the official said. ”

"Yes."

"My lord, Xiaomin is from Tengjia Village, the village has always been quiet and peaceful, but one day, there was a person in the village working in the field, and suddenly fainted, we only thought that he had a heat stroke, and we didn't care too much, but in the next few days, several villagers fainted for no reason, and then abdominal pain, headache, fainting, purple lips, foaming at the mouth, including my wife and children, some old people in the village noticed that this symptom was very similar to the symptoms of the plague, and we felt that this matter was not trivial, He went to the government office to tell the dog official, but he not only did not act, but also said that our evil words confuse the public, alarmist, beat us out, blockaded the village, and did not let the doctor come to treat us, and later we learned that not only our village came out of the plague, it turned out that several villages in Longcheng had plague.

"My lord, while the plague is only coming out around Longcheng now, we must stop it quickly, once the plague breaks out, the entire Longcheng will be shrouded in the plague, and how many innocent people will die of the plague, but at this time, this dog official is still worried that his official position is not guaranteed, not only does not come up with a good plan to curb the prevalence of the plague, but also deliberately conceals it.

"My lord, I have a cheap life, and it is not a pity to die, if the adult is really a good official who asks for the life of the people, I just ask the adult to take measures to curb the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible! Otherwise, I am afraid that the adults will also lose their official positions and be criticized by the world! ”

Xia Bingzhuo's face was a little pale, he said so much earlier, Xia Bingzhuo didn't know how much he listened, but the last sentence really spoke to his heart.

The crowd began to talk again, it seems that the old man's words are the will of the people, if he does not investigate strictly, I am afraid that he will really be criticized by the world, it is really an arrow on the string, and he has to send it.

Pursing his lips, Xia Bingzhuo said with a righteous face, "Don't worry, this official has come to Longcheng, and he is bound to investigate this matter clearly, and I don't think everyone will be threatened by the virus." ”

"Lord Liang?" Xia Bingzhuo tilted his head slightly, Liang Quan heard Xia Bingzhuo call him, and hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile, "What do you command?" ”

"You also heard what I just said, this matter will be handed over to you, be sure to check the matter for me, if there is any concealment, I will not be spared."

"Yes, yes, the villain will do it." Liang Quan was terrified.

When the old man heard that Xia Bingzhuo would investigate the matter clearly, he danced excitedly, "Thank you, Lord Qingtian!" Thank you, Lord Qingtian! ”

Xia Bingzhuo turned his head to look at Liang Quan, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he walked to the position where he rubbed shoulders with the man, he warned Liang Quan in a volume that could only be heard by the two of them, "It's all a good thing you do, no matter whether the plague is true or not, the emperor doesn't want the plague to reach his ears." ”

Listening to Xia Bingzhuo's words, Liang Quan showed a very frightened expression, Xia Bingzhuo looked at him coldly, ignored it, and turned to leave.
