Chapter 54: Maniyin
Such a large-scale poisoning made the people in Jiangyin City almost think that it was a plague, at this time, although Shen Huan did not know what method the poisoner used to poison so many people at the same time, but the identity of the poisoner had a unique candidate in his heart! That's Manichaeism!
Xing Zhutou, who had been busy all day, dragged his tired body to Shen Huan's side and asked him what to do next, but since the mind of spreading the poison had not yet been clarified, Shen Huan could only take the next step...... They could only ask Xing Zhutou to put up notices in advance, telling the residents of the city to stop eating food at home, and let the rice shops in the city open their granaries, which would be distributed to households by the government. In addition, their drinking water could no longer be extracted from the well, but had to be taken from the river outside the city to prevent further poisonings.
Shen Huan's instructions were very safe, but the implementation made it difficult for Xing Zhutou, "Mr. Shen, I understand what you said, but we have a large population in the city, and there is not a small amount of food consumed every day!" If rice merchants are forced to open their granaries, they will inevitably be opposed! And there are a lot of medicinal materials consumed just now, if these are all bought by the government, we don't have so much silver......"
As soon as Xing Zhutou's words fell, a person's voice rang in their ears, and when they turned their heads, they saw that it was Chen Shijie, who had slept all the way from noon to now!
"Huh! Spending money is my favorite! Leave this matter to me! Isn't it just some money! What a big deal! ”
After Chen Shijie finished speaking, he shook the folding fan and walked away nonchalantly, looking at his back, Shen Huan and Xing Zhutou looked at each other, in their minds, the only thought now was, "It's good to be rich......
Due to Chen Shijie's joining, Shen Huan's instructions were implemented very smoothly, although some unscrupulous businessmen once wanted to sit on the ground and raise the selling price of their grain, but whenever they encountered such a thing, Xing Zhutou would take his brothers to come forward to greet him, and finally forced the rice merchants in the city to sell their grain to the government at eighty percent of the market price! This not only helped Chen Shijie save a lot of expenses, but also made him understand that sometimes things are often different from the actual situation......
This matter soon spread throughout the city, and after Li Cheng got the news for the first time, he immediately opened several of his granaries free of charge, and set up a grain point in the south of the city, forming a north-south echo with Chen Shijie, making it convenient for the people to take rice.
Soon after, several nearby villages also got the news, and under the organization of local elders, they spontaneously came to support with their own food! With such full cooperation, the living problems of the residents in the city are basically guaranteed!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Huan felt very comforted and worried at the same time! He knew it was just a stopgap measure, and it wouldn't last a few days! If you can't quickly find out the source of the poison and crack the Manichaean conspiracy as soon as possible, then a riot is about to ensue!
Thinking of Manichaeism, Shen Huan hated it but also felt a little strange, since this poisoning incident, some people who originally set up stalls here also took the initiative to join the volunteer team, but only Manichaean people! I couldn't see their juggling show on the street anymore, it was as if they had completely evaporated!
This point made Shen Huan very puzzled, if this matter was concocted by them, then according to the behavior of the cult, they should take this opportunity to detoxify the people in the city! They single-handedly create the poison that can be used, so they must know how to solve it! As long as the crisis of the people is solved, are you afraid that no one will believe in them? However, this great opportunity to develop believers, they actually gave up! It's just too weird......
Due to the timely and accurate response, there were no new poisoners until dawn, and after staying up all night, the most serious patient in Qian Yi's hands finally showed the characteristics that Shen Huan said. Seeing that the patient was finally temporarily out of the crisis, Qian Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he was old, and he was tired enough to stay up all night, and after returning to the bedroom, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep......
It was about two hours before dawn, and in the night, in an abandoned house, a little light was jumping, and the Buddha was sitting there quietly waiting......
Seeing several black-clothed people appear in front of him from the darkness, the Buddha opened his eyes and asked, "Have all our people been arranged?"
"Protector, everyone is already in place! Just wait for your orders! The man in black replied truthfully
"Hmmm! Very good! Well done! Go and tell the brothers outside that they will be on time in two days' time! ”
"Yes! Subordinates understand! The man in black nodded in agreement, but just as he was about to turn away, he stopped again, as if he wanted to say something to the Buddha of desire, but he didn't dare to say anything......
"Do you have something to ask me? Go ahead! What's up! The expression of the man in black was full of Buddha's eyes, and he spoke.
"Dharma Protector, your subordinates shouldn't have questioned you, but the situation at this time is completely different from what you said at the time, will there be any changes in your actions after two days?"
Listening to the words of his subordinates, Desire Buddha couldn't help but smile coldly, "You're right, this time I miscalculated, I didn't expect them to be so enduring!" I didn't expect this Shen Huan to be able to detoxify! But it doesn't matter, although it takes a few more days, the end result is still the same! You'll understand when the time comes! All right! Do you have any questions? ”
"No more! Subordinates retire! ”
Just when the man in black turned around and was about to leave, the Buddha who had been sitting on the chair suddenly moved! Before the man in black could react, he only felt a pain in his chest! A strange weapon has pierced him!
"Dharma protector, why are you ......" Looking at the sharp blade on his chest, the man in black was very shocked and puzzled! However, before he could finish speaking, he lost his breath......
Pulling out his weapon from the man in black, he looked at his corpse and said coldly to the rest: "Those who dare to question me have only one way to die!" Throw his body away! When he returns to the altar, send his wife and daughter to me!" I'll take good care of them for him! ”
Looking at the look on the face of the Buddha, everyone present couldn't help but shudder at his cruelty and tyranny...... They seemed to see that it was not a person standing in front of them at this moment! Rather, a demon......
Everyone left, and soon the Buddha disappeared into the darkness, but they didn't know that at this moment, on the top of a nearby tree, a man in a night robe had seen everything they had just done......
The next day, Song Shi woke up from his sleep, and as soon as he got up, he heard Song Shi's voice outside! When I opened the door, this guy was holding a roast chicken on the stone table outside!
After tidying up his clothes, Shen Huan asked Song Shi, "Why are you here?" Didn't you tell you to stay in the village? ”
"I haven't heard of an accident in the city! So I'm going to see you! Are you all alright? Oh yes! Our village has also sent some food, which has been handed over to Uncle Li, and the sixth brother is guarding there! ”
Song Shi had a chicken leg stuffed in his mouth, and his speech was very unclear, but Shen Huan finally understood, "It's okay!" But can I ask you to finish what you eat before you speak? You don't get tired of eating roast chicken early in the morning! ”
took out the chicken bones from his mouth and threw them to the ground, only to see Song Shi say with a mouthful of oil: "It's too early or late to eat meat?" Besides, it's going to be noon soon, so let's eat a little appetizer first! It's even more fragrant to eat later! ”
Song Shi's words made Shen Huan speechless, not so much that he came to see him, it was better to say that he was actually hungry to eat! Worrying about yourself and so on is nothing more than an excuse......
Looking at the sun in the sky, it was indeed almost noon as Song Shi said, he didn't expect that he had slept for so long this night, and he didn't know what the situation in the city was like at the moment......
Thinking of this, Shen Huan couldn't help but think of Manichaeism again, which gave him a headache...... He still had no idea what the Manichaean group was trying to do......
Looking at the tired look in Shen Huan's eyes, Song Shi proposed: "You look really tired like this, this is not good!" You can't stay at home! After eating, let's go hiking! It's also good for you to relax! ”
"Climbing a mountain? What mountain to climb? When is this all in, where am I still in the mood to climb the mountain? Shen Huan refused Song Shi's request, and now he just wanted to figure this matter out and get a good night's sleep.
However, the development of things was always completely different from what he thought, and with Song Shi's stubborn fight and Ye Feixue's support, Shen Huan finally followed them to climb the mountain...... Looking at the rugged and steep mountain road in front of him, Shen Huan felt that his brain was really burned out for a while, and he even ran here to find guilt for himself without doing anything......
