At this time, the uncle continued to tell that the political envoy of Shaanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty participated in politics right: Lu Lanchao, I don't know where to find a miracle doctor to rejuvenate, and miraculously saved the soldiers and civilians in Tongguanwei, but the commander of Mingtong Guanwei made a family unfortunately die of illness! It is said that he contracted dysentery and then contracted the plague and died?

After listening to the uncle's narration, Ma Wei felt that something was wrong? asked, "Then dare to ask uncle, do you know why the former Tongguanwei commander's family suddenly died of the epidemic?" I saw the middle-aged man shaking his head and saying that he didn't know about it! This made Ma Wei a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, it was also normal for the uncle to be an ordinary person after all, and he didn't know about the affairs of the officer's family.

He summarized it according to the information he had gotten so far, and analyzed his thoughts with Wu Junzhen, and the two agreed that they had to investigate from the commander of the Mingtong Guanwei, but they couldn't ask blatantly!

Suddenly, Wu Junzhen also thought of a plan? He went to the street wine shop to buy a jar of wine, and took Ma Wei to the city gate to find Mingtong Guanwei Zhenfu to ask about the situation, after all, it is more true to spit out the truth after drinking, Ma Wei also supported the two of them and went to the city gate together to the city tower, and saw Mingtong Guanwei Zhenfu who was checking the fire gun in the castle.

At this moment, Wu Junzhen walked over with a jar of wine, patted Mingtong Guan Wei Zhenfu's shoulder, and said, "Lord Zhenfu, you have worked hard!" Come to the small one, buy a jar of good wine, and pay tribute to you. Seeing the wine in Wu Junzhen's hand, Mingtong Guan Wei couldn't stand it, but he thought that something was wrong, and he had nothing to do, and he was either a traitor or a thief? He asked, "What do you say?" Seeing this, Wu Junzhen pretended to be very well-behaved and said, "It's okay, how can there be anything?" We just want to curry favor with you, and we can mix better in this Tongguan Acropolis in the future! ”

He had long wanted to drink in his heart, so he deliberately pretended to be high and said, "Okay! For the sake of your two good intentions, then I will reluctantly accept it. Mingtong Guan Wei Zhenfu quickly grabbed the wine jar, walked to the table next to the city tower with Wu Junzhen and sat down, while Ma Wei followed behind and waited for the two to sit down.

Ma Wei poured the wine for the two of them, and Wu Junzhen picked up the wine bowl and toasted him and said, "It's really happy, hehe, come and drink!" Mingtong Guanwei Zhen on the opposite side hadn't drunk for a long time, and when he touched the wine, he couldn't stop drinking bowl after bowl, and before he knew it, he was so drunk that he blushed and lay on the table.

also choked Wu Junzhen enough, he lowered his head and spit under the table, only then raised his head and said in a thrilling manner, "This Wang Zhenfu can't imagine that the amount of alcohol is so good, I almost can't drink him!" Ma Wei hurriedly poured the tea on the table to sober him up, and then pushed the drunk Mingtong Guan Wei Zhenfu and shouted, "Lord Zhenfu, Lord Zhenfu?" I shouted twice and saw that he did not respond.

He gave him a cup of tea to dilute the smell of wine, and after drinking tea, Mingtong Guan Weizhen stroked his mouth and muttered, "Come, and then drink it to Ben Jiang and pour it full of wine." And Ma Wei continued to ask, "Lord Zhenfu, do you know how the commander of the Tongguan guard became the commander of the guard back then?" ”

Half-drunk and half-awake, he replied, "Tongguan Commander made him rely on, rely on those guys to climb up to the position of Commander of the Guard, if there is no help from them?" I'm afraid he won't want to inherit the official position for the rest of his life! Mavi found a clue and asked, "By those guys?" Say it? I saw Mingtong Guan Wei Zhen lying on the table and replied, "They all rely on the rich merchants in the north of the city: Gu Qingyuan, with the help of the squires led by him, climbed to the official position of Wei Commander and Envoy...?" Before I finished speaking, I fell asleep and couldn't wake up again! Ma Wei, who got the news, was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Because the sound was relatively loud, it alarmed the soldiers patrolling next to them, and it happened that three of the soldiers were the henchmen of the commander of the Mingtong Guanwei, and they heard someone laughing next to the shelf of the city tower and quietly walked up the steps to get closer to the past.

At this time, it happened to be the time for the changing of the guard, so the number of people on the city tower was relatively small, and no one noticed Wu Junzhen and them, but he had a sensitive ear, and he had already heard the sound of someone drawing a knife, so he motioned to Ma Wei with his eyes to help him leave the table and hide by the city wall, and saw three soldiers with steady footsteps walking up, and they saw Mingtong Guan Wei Zhen lying on the table caressing the wine jar on the table, so they guessed that someone must have done it on purpose? After all, the Inspector had already ordered that no officer should drink alcohol at will when performing his post, and the soldier who walked in front whispered to the two soldiers behind, "Disperse and find!" ”

Then the three of them quickly searched the neighborhood, and Ma Wei, who was hiding in the corner, felt that there was something wrong with these three people? Isn't it just a one-time drink? As for being so rigorous? Wu Junzhen was afraid that the soldiers would find out, so he stretched out his hand and punched out with the strength of wine, hitting the nose of the soldiers walking towards them, so painful that the Ming soldiers hurriedly covered their noses and squatted down, and the other two soldiers waved their knives at Wu Junzhen and asked, "What are you doing here?" Why do you want to get drunk and calm the adults, what are your intentions? ”

Ma Wei next to him replied, "Didn't you just drink a little wine?" As for this? The soldier on the other side said accidentally, "It's nothing just to drink!" But what if you give the commander of Tongguan Guard the affairs of the adult~? Before he finished speaking, the soldier immediately stopped and covered his mouth, realizing that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, and Wu Junzhen guessed that these three people must be patrol soldiers under the command of the Mingtong Guanwei, and they must not be let go, otherwise it will affect the investigation plan and knock them out.

And tied them up in a dilapidated house, Ma Wei planned to make the matter public, but Wu Junzhen thought that it was not time to make it public, because they still hadn't figured out the whole thing!

At the same time, large-scale plague outbreaks were also found in Hanzhong Mansion, Gongchang Mansion, Minzhou Wei, Taozhou Wei, and other places! It also affected the Nanyang Mansion and Ruzhou areas of Henan Chengxuan's Political Division, which caused a large-scale Shun army to be infected with the epidemic in the military camp of the new Shun King, and the soldiers standing guard in the Shun army camp fell one after another.

The generals of the Shun army in each battalion were panicked, and the new Shun king, who was sitting in the military tent in the middle army, was also very frightened, and he hurriedly summoned the Shun army Zuo Fu to the barracks and asked, "How much have the soldiers in the camp lost today?" When Zuo Fu of Shunjun heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and replied, "King Qiqi, hundreds of brothers in the army have died of illness today!" The doctors in the army are helpless! I implore the king to quickly send a list of articles to recruit doctors to treat him, although we are anti-thieves in the imperial court, but once the epidemic spreads, not only our army will suffer, but even the soldiers and civilians of the nearby state and county guards will also be implicated, I think the doctors should not see death without help? ”

King Xinshun felt that this was reasonable, so he asked people to go out and post a list to ask for a famous doctor to treat, and also offered a reward of 100 taels as long as they could treat the epidemic.

And the new king Shun, who was eager to calm down the epidemic, did not refuse so many visitors, and gave them all food and shelter, and provided them with medicinal materials and daily consultation money (about 50 copper plates), and after treatment, the epidemic in the military camp did not decrease but increased? Slowly, King Xinshun began to despair of these quacks, and in anger, he ordered to check all the military doctors in the barracks, and if he found that the number of patients in that camp was increasing, he directly let the treating military doctors accompany the funeral, and deduct the day's medical fees, which scared many people away.

And Wu Junzhen's side has people dying of illness every day, so the Ming Army Department Shangshu is very headache! He decided to take the measures of burning the patients who could not be treated well on the spot, and the military doctors who treated the plague were also isolated and lived separately from the soldiers. It scared his generals very much.

On this day, after Wu Junzhen got up and washed, he was still walking in the barracks as usual, intending to collect the situation, and by chance he saw a soldier outside the camp tent of the commander of the Mingtong Guanwei mysteriously entered the tent? Wu Junzhen was worried that it was the assassin, so he followed and prepared to capture this person, but when he came to the camp, he heard someone talking in the tent?

He felt bored, so he leaned up to the side of the tent and listened quietly, only to hear one of the people in the tent say, "How did Mr. Gu let you do?" The other person replied, "I am dealing with this matter, please tell Mr. Gu, don't worry!" I will definitely be able to give Mr. Gu a satisfactory answer within three days. ”

Then, the soldiers in the account asked a little arrogantly: "Could it be that this Tongguan Wei plague matter was caused by the Wei Commander Envoy?" As soon as these words came out, the commander of the Mingtong Guan Guard hurriedly got up, made a (shhh How could I bring the epidemic into the city! ”

But the soldier laughed three times and sat down and said, "A few years ago, you even dared to do something to murder your own father, what else did you dare not do?" At this moment, when Wu Junzhen, who was outside the account, heard the word murder (father), he immediately thought of the place that had been altered when he checked the account books in the experience department, and thought; Could it be that he was afraid that someone would know that he had done something bad, so he deliberately changed the upper left corner? So the Lord who recorded this must have also been plotted by him?

But when you think about it, you don't think it's right? If the officials knew about it, there was no reason not to announce it? And it is bound to be more precautionary, why is it so easy to be killed? Is there a secret in it?

So Wu Junzhen continued to listen, and the commander of the Mingtong Guan Guard in the account hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the soldiers to drink, and said, "Please go back and say a few more kind words to Mr. Gu, when the wind passes, I will reward you heavily!" The soldier saluted after drinking tea, and Wu Junzhen quickly ducked aside to avoid being discovered.

At this time, after Wu Junzhen watched the soldier come out, he felt very strange, as if he hadn't seen him in the Tongguan Wei barracks? After analyzing their conversation, they thought that this person was not the Ming army, and he should be a spy sent by the merchants?
