The day passed quickly, and some exhausted Bu Tong guarded the big iron pot and stirred the medicinal herbs for a while, and the other two pots were all boiling mung bean soup, and the heat gathered around, surrounding Bu Tong's small figure in it, looming.

Tang Xuanlin's fever has subsided a little, and he has already begun to arrange disaster relief matters, Bu Tong looked at the people coming in and out of his tent and couldn't help but sigh, "There is an endless stream, and it is really not idle for a moment." ”

The left bank roasted sweet potatoes on the side with a little charcoal, yawning leisurely, "Ah Tong, I asked people to set up a tent for you, you go and rest, the medical officer didn't go back and forth, the fever of those patients has stabilized a lot, just have me, you don't need to accompany you here." ”

Bu Tong smiled at him, "I'm here just like you, try my best to do what I can, I'm not tired, I can help more people, and protect all the people in Kyoto City who are terrified." ”

The left bank looked at Bu Tong's eyes from a smile to a serious look with a little emotion, "Yi Yang's sister, really an unusual woman, so generous, quite a bit arrogant." ”

Before Bu Tong could speak, those medical officers gathered one after another, looking very polite, "Mr. Bu, are you going to use the medicine for the night?" ”

Bu Tong looked back, only himself and the left bank were guarding the three cauldrons here, and this "sir" was called, about, himself?

Consciousness suddenly a little trance, the previous life of his own knowledge, almost the entire Kyoto City, the followers and the people who were false and wronged all respectfully shouted "Mr. Big", and now a heartfelt "Sir", Bu Tong suddenly shuddered, and laughed,

"Lord Medic, Bu Tong doesn't dare to be."

Most of the medical officers are people who are not confused, but they have great respect for Bu Tong, "Mr. is humble, the pox epidemic is already dangerous, you are from a famous family, but you have ventured here to relieve the victims, this remedy is very effective, the fever has dropped a lot, most of the blisters have begun to scab, and with this mask, no more people have been infected." ”

"Yes, yes," everyone agreed, "In previous years, the pox epidemic was full of casualties, but this year, everyone saw hope, Mr. Bu's clever prescription, I will definitely tell Your Majesty when I go back." ”

But this Pudilan elixir was not really learned by himself, Bu Tong felt that his current path was actually a bit of a deception and stealing his name, so he had to refuse again and again, and as a result, these people only felt that they were humble......

It's fair to say that the medical officers finally took the medicine pot to deliver the medicine, but they were still praising Bu Tong in their mouths, Bu Tong was weak-hearted, and quickly looked away, but Tang Xuanlin, who happened to be standing at the door of the camp, bumped into his eyes.

Bu Tong smiled and picked up the small medicine pot and ran over,

"Xuanlin, are you done? It's time to take your medicine. ”

Tang Xuanlin's gaze fell into the distance, and the corners of his mouth relaxed into a gentle arc,

"Okay, the medical officers seem to have relaxed a lot, it seems that Tong'er's medicine is very effective."

Bu Tong nodded proudly,

"That is, I still have this pharmacological basis."

Thinking that what he had planned before had to be carried out as soon as possible, Bu Tong stepped forward and lowered his voice,

"Xuanlin, send a reliable person to deliver a message to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Dongyi City, don't delay."

Tang Xuanlin understood Bu Tong's plan, nodded, and before he could speak, Bu Tong raised his head first, "Suzaku." ”

Suzaku appeared with a black face, "Miss Bu." ”

……

The night is shrouded little by little, the camp lights a bonfire to illuminate every place, the brocade guards are in full swing patrolling, Bu Tong is still guarding the cauldron with the left bank, but unlike the tension in the day, the sweet roasted sweet potatoes have been eaten several rounds, Bu Tong burps and pats his belly,

"It's good to eat, I'm afraid I'm going to burst my belly today."

Tang Xuanlin handed over a water bag from the side, "Greedy again?" ”

Bu Tong was already accustomed to his sudden appearance, "Brother Zuo'an's craftsmanship is so good, I can't help but eat two more pieces." ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure with a hood covering his face suddenly appeared on the outside of Butong, startling Butong who was holding a water bag.

"Oh my God, Suzaku, what are you doing?"

Looking at everyone's unhappy looks, he slowly tilted his head to look, crossed Suzaku's body, and saw that the person who was completely blocked by him was the man who was making trouble during the day.

The man stood there stiffly, raised his eyes and looked at Bu Tong's surprised eyes, and then lowered it again, without the exhaustion of his earlier exhaustion, he was so stubborn and stubborn and stood there with his head stubborn without saying a word, Bu Tong burped, and touched his nose knowing that he had nothing to say.

"What's the matter with you? But what's uncomfortable? ”

Tang Xuanlin's gaze fell on the two brocade guards who were more than ten steps behind him, and his voice was cold without a trace of warmth.

"Pox patients are not allowed to go out of the camp, how can you do it!"

The two brocade guards hurriedly stepped forward tremblingly, "Overseer, this man said, he said that there is an important situation to report. ”

Tang Xuanlin's compelling eyes fell on the faces of the people in front of him, "What's the matter?" ”

The man was frightened back half a step, Bu Tong blinked and looked at him, and suddenly had some anticipation in his heart, as if there was something important to be revealed, "What's the matter?" ”

The man in front of him suddenly knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed a little choked, "Sir, the grace of saving lives, the villains have nothing to repay, there is something I want to report to Mr., this pox epidemic in Dongyi City was deliberately done by someone, and after a few of us found out, they imprisoned our whole family, infected with the pox epidemic, and threatened us to spread the pox marks into Kyoto City in order to save our family's lives." ”

Everyone was shocked, and the left bank didn't care about wiping the black ash off his forehead, and his eyes were about to pop out when he strode forward, "What did you say?" Is pox spread by humans? Which Wang Badan is it?! Doing such an inhumane thing, doesn't he know that ordinary people will die from this disease? Once it is introduced to Kyoto, then Kyoto Castle is finished! ”

The man bowed his head, like a sad stone tablet, "We know, but if we don't listen to that man's arrangement, we will die, and if we obey his instructions, our family can still survive, we can only ......"

"You are confused," Bu Tong shook his head repeatedly, "to do such a thing." Do you think those people will end up alive and cause trouble for themselves? They will only cut the grass and eradicate the roots, will your mouth be safer than the dead? ”

The man kowtowed a few times, almost bleeding, "We are willing to tell Mr. Bu everything, and ask Mr. for mercy to save our family, the villains will be a cow and a horse for Mr. for the rest of their lives, and block knives and arrows for Mr." ”

Bu Tong heard a burst of hair on his body, "Okay, okay, the environment around me is not so difficult......

Saying as if he was about to be assassinated at any time, Bu Tong looked back at Tang Xuanlin, Tang Xuanlin nodded and asked,

"It depends on what you say, whether it will help us to investigate this case."

The man hurriedly raised his head, "If you go back to your lordship, the person who kidnapped us and spread the pox plague in Dongyi City is, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the wife and brother of Lord Guo, Wu Thirteen." ”

Bu Tong squinted slightly and was a little suspicious, this is too detailed, right? Joining a first name with a last name? A flat-headed commoner?

"Ministry of Rites, I don't even know it, you know so well which one is his brother-in-law?"

The kneeling man on the ground firmly insisted, "Wu 13 is a gangster in Xiyi City next door, since his sister married the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, he is even more reckless and unreckless, and he eats and takes poop everywhere, until one day, I and a few coolie brothers went out of the town to pick up work, and accidentally saw Wu 13, forcing a person, a person with a face full of acne into Dongyi Town, and asked them to stay in several crowded places in the city, we wanted to escape but were discovered, and Wu 13 arrested us. ”

Bu Tong found out earlier that the symptoms of these people who led the troubles were more serious, and the onset was longer than most people, if it was said that they were infected with chickenpox at the beginning, it also made sense, and suddenly found a strange place, and couldn't help but ask,

"Why did you specifically tell us about the relationship between Wu 13 and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites? But what else is the clue? ”

The man nodded, "What the gentleman thinks is that we have been imprisoned by Wu 13 for a few days, and he has drunk too much with his subordinates outside and bragged, saying that he is doing things for his brother-in-law, saying that his brother-in-law is planning a big event, mainly to create the appearance of a disaster from heaven, and he can get an official position." ”

Bu Tong was surprised,

"Make it look like a disaster from heaven?"

I suddenly figured out one thing, I didn't understand why the pox epidemic broke out, and wondered if it was man-made, but now it seems that everything is true.

Now His Majesty believes in the divination of the stars, if the Ministry of Rites turns this man-made disaster into a natural disaster, then His Majesty will definitely ask the Ministry of Rites to investigate the cause of the wrath of the heavens, and it will be logical that the Ministry of Rites wants to take the opportunity to eradicate someone.

Bu Tong turned back to look at Tang Xuanlin in surprise, and Tang Xuanlin, whose face was solemn, was also expressing the importance of this matter.

"What kind of accident is this?" Left Bank was confused, "Won't it be for my general again?" ”

Butong smacked his lips,

"I guess most of it has something to do with General Lie."

After all, in the last life, after the bloodbath of the Xia Yuan Festival, Liezhan Tiger died, and then there was no outbreak of pox epidemic, and now the bloodbath has not happened, Liezhan Hu is still valued by His Majesty, and the pox epidemic broke out suddenly.

The left bank retreated to the side to think about life, Tang Xuanlin stepped forward,

"Tong'er, Suzaku has already sent a message to His Royal Highness during the day, and I have to go back in person for the current situation, but this is ......"

Butong waved his hand and whispered,

"It's okay, you can go, here are me and General Xiaozuo, January is also guarding nearby, everyone's condition has also recovered, it will be fine, we can, you can rest assured."

Tang Xuanlin nodded,

"Okay, I'll go back to Beijing overnight, and I'll be back tomorrow morning."
