After a pause, Li Canghai pointed to the ruins behind him and said, "The people imprisoned here have all been poisoned by a strange Gu poison. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis Gu poison is very contagious like a plague, and anyone who is bitten or scratched will be infected with this Gu poison, so that they will lose their minds and do crazy things. You fathers and elders should have heard about the Nancheng murder, and this official can tell you that the real cause of death in the murder case was that the head of his family, Bai Laohan, was poisoned by this kind of Gu poison and went crazy and bit the whole family to death. ”

When everyone heard this, they all gasped.

In the past two days, Chang'an City has been publicizing this matter everywhere, saying that Old Man Bai's family was cursed and died extremely miserable, but I didn't expect the truth to be like this.

Li Canghai saw that everyone's mood gradually stabilized, and then said: "Although this official has found out the truth, he is helpless against this kind of Gu poison. Fortunately, there were high-ranking people around the official to help, so after learning that there were people and animals hurting people in Anxingfang, in order to avoid more casualties, he ordered all the infected people to be detained and let people detoxify them for them. ”

Speaking of this, Li Canghai let out a long sigh and said, "I just didn't expect such a tragedy to happen." Speaking of which, it was also the official's lack of thought that led to their death. ”

After listening to Li Canghai, the scene suddenly fell into silence.

After all, Li Canghai is famous, and the people in Chang'an City, who mentions it, doesn't praise him?

Judging from what he said, Li Canghai was also thinking about their safety, and the occurrence of such a tragedy really had nothing to do with him.

Li Canghai, as the secretary of Dali Temple, can patiently explain to them, the common people, which is enough to make everyone believe what he said.

The man was stunned for a long time, and suddenly knelt down in front of Li Canghai and said, "It turns out that the truth is like this, it seems that the grass people have misunderstood the adult." I just offended the adult, and I hope the adult will condemn the crime! ”

Li Canghai helped him up and said solemnly: "This matter is at fault with the official, the official is afraid of causing panic, because he did not reveal the truth, and he was negligent in security measures, which is the fault of the official." However, I have a question for you, and I hope you can answer it truthfully. ”

"When adults ask, the grass people don't dare to lie." The man said.

Li Canghai nodded and said, "You said before that your brother was seriously ill?" Isn't he infected? ”

The man scratched his head and said a little dazedly: "Excuse me, my lord, the grass people don't quite understand what the adults mean by infection." ”

"In this way, the official asked a little more simply, has your brother been bitten or scratched by cats and dogs in the past two days?" Li Canghai asked.

The man shook his head and said, "There is no ......." My brother has been seriously ill recently and has been coughing up blood. But he wasn't bitten by a dog or cat, that's for sure. ”

Li Canghai frowned slightly, and was silent.

I heard the man continue: "My lord, we believe that you are for our good, but I can't figure it out, my brother is clearly not poisoned, and he has not done anything excessive, why should he be imprisoned?" ”

"It's the same with my husband, he just caught the cold and imprisoned him."

"Well, and my poor boy, who just went out to buy some herbs for the old man, but he was arrested like this, and now he is dying here in a daze."

As the man spoke, more and more people wept and wept.

"How so? Could it be that Han Qu caught the wrong person? Li Canghai frowned and said to himself.

At this moment, a discordant cold snort came from the crowd: "Lord Li's words have harmed the lives of our relatives for no reason!" This is clearly a deliberate attempt to shirk responsibility! ”

This time, Li Canghai keenly captured the man's voice, but it was a white-faced scholar.

"Since you are dissatisfied, you can raise it with this official in person, why do you need to cover it up like this?" Li Canghai stared at him and asked lightly.

The scholar was suddenly a little embarrassed and stood up hesitantly.

After gritting his teeth, the scholar said: "Since the adults said so, the grass people will also be blunt!" The adults said that they caught our relatives because they were highly poisoned, but as far as the grass people knew, they were not poisoned, but they died because of the wrong decisions of the adults. ”

Li Canghai was silent, he always felt guilty about this matter.

Dozens of lives died in the fire, and I didn't kill Beren, but the guilt of Beren's death because of me has always haunted my heart.

Li Canghai sighed, and in the face of the scholar's accusation, he was powerless to refute it.

"What? Are you running out of things to say? I once heard that the officers and soldiers of the frontier risked killing the heads of the people as a reward for their military exploits, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Beijing Division! If you hadn't seen this with your own eyes, who would have believed that the dignified Dali Siqing was such a ruthless person? Seeing that Li Canghai was silent, the scholar's tone gradually became heavier, and he asked loudly.

“……”

After being silent for a long time, Li Canghai bowed deeply to everyone and said, "Give this official a little time, and this official will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." ”

The scholar wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the man before: "My lord, you are a good official, we believe in you!" We just want one way to say it. ”

Li Canghai nodded solemnly, and then asked Lu Jitong to collect the information that everyone said, while he returned to the ruins.

In the ruins, a group of officials under the leadership of the servants were carefully carrying the corpses, and there were more than a dozen charred corpses in each of the houses that were burned to the ruins, which was really miserable.

Li Canghai looked at those corpses, and his heart was extremely heavy.

But then a doubt flashed through his mind.

This room is not a big space, and there are more than a dozen living people in it, why did no one escape when the fire started?

Even if those people were poisoned in their bodies and tied them up in order to heal them, at least there were still two people, Huiguang and Hongyan.

According to his understanding of the two of them, it is impossible to be so careless and make the house go to water, let alone after the fire, it is too late to save people.

Li Canghai believed in the martial arts of the two, and he never believed that the two would die in this fire.

If you want to know what happened, you can only find out if you find the two of you.

But if the two escaped, it would be impossible not to go to Li Canghai, and now the two of them have lost their traces inexplicably, and the only explanation is that the two of them have encountered some kind of trouble, which has limited their steps, so they have not come to look for him so far.

However, the two of them came here just to observe the epidemic and prepare an antidote, so what trouble could they have to restrain them? (To be continued.) )
