Still left Second Mrs. Fang and Fang Xiuting behind, Qiao Ran lay on the bed, not much sleep.

These two are admittedly not good people, but after Old Madam Fang personally pointed out that the death of the original owner had nothing to do with Second Madam Fang, there was no need to deliberately harshly criticize these two people.

Besides, she also knows the idea of these two people, and in the final analysis, it is still for money. Money is a very vulgar thing, but many times it is indispensable. Moreover, she is not an aunt, and she is not qualified to make a decision on whether to help her aunt or not.

Among the three brothers of the Fang family, the eldest master of the Fang family is an outlier, compared to people like the second and third masters, the eldest master can be said to be a gentleman. It's just that sometimes, things can't be seen as simple as that.

The old lady and the old lady of the Fang family were convicted, although it was the trouble caused by the ancestors of the Fang family themselves that led these two people to be convicted, but if she hadn't found the bones that were buried back then, the old lady Fang would not have been found out like this.

She can guarantee that her aunt will not blame herself for this, but what about the most filial master?

It's hard to say!

There are good and bad gentlemen, when she is a weak orphan girl, the eldest master will take her in, but what if not?

Pei Qingqing, who was beside her, turned over, muttered "delicious", and fell asleep again.

The surroundings are very quiet, I don't know if it is the relationship between Chang'an and the people, since coming to Chang'an, whether it is Pei Qingqing or Hongdou, and even the two men Tang Zhongyuan and Qiao Shu, they have become lazy and began to lie in bed, but Qiao Ran, who is the latest in Jinling, has become the most diligent one in the family, and he got up early.

She turned over, and the three faint knocking sounds of "dong dong dong" suddenly came into her ears, as if the sound of someone knocking on the door outside made Qiao Ran instinctively startled, and the whole person became nervous.

It's so late, who's knocking on the door?

She listened intently.

But this night, after waiting for a long time, she didn't wait for the second knock on the door, so that Qiao Ran wondered if it was her own delusion.

Sleepiness gradually welled up in her heart, and Qiao Ran yawned and closed her eyes.

……

At this time, most of Chang'an City in the middle of the night had fallen into silence, but not everywhere was like this.

In a house on the outskirts of Chang'an City not far from Chang'an City, the lights were bright, and more than a dozen officials held torches and looked at the house with solemn expressions.

There were several wooden barrels around them, and the smell of fire oil was very choking in the air.

From time to time, there were a few suppressed "zhiwu" sounds in the house, and when I heard it, I was tied up and gagged and couldn't make any sound.

"Everyone's together." A man wrapped in a white cloth with only two eyes exposed walked out of the house, and the official who was waiting outside couldn't help but take a few steps back when he saw him coming, deliberately keeping some distance from him.

Seeing this, the man sighed helplessly: "What do you want to avoid me?" Am I not a plague god? ”

"You've been in." The leader of the official mission who led the team was covered with a white cloth and glanced at him with disgust, "You can go away and talk to me again!" ”

The man stomped his feet angrily, snorted hatefully, but he had no choice but to walk farther, and then tore off the white cloth and said, "The dead and the sick have been arrested, I have checked it, and nothing has been missed." ”

"It's good if nothing is missing." The leader of the official mission said, raising his hand, "Let's do it!" ”

Vasks of fire oil were poured on it, and the choking smell seemed to attract more suppressed "zhiwu" sounds in the house.

What does the moment the oil is poured on it, as long as you are not stupid, you can understand.

They didn't want to die, and their suppressed moans seemed particularly poignant in the night.

The leader of the official mission turned his head, and he didn't dare to look at the next scene, he closed his eyes and slowly raised his hand: "Let ...... go"

"Put your head on it!" A carriage came galloping, and someone sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain and interrupted his order with a roar.

The person who came apparently rushed over after receiving the news, and wore only a robe over his body.

The carriage came to the crowd, and the man jumped out of the carriage, his hair was scattered, and his feet were long and short and black boots were worn, and he looked extremely funny.

But no one laughed at him.

The official looked at the man who hurriedly walked to him, sighed helplessly, bowed his head and saluted: "I've seen Lord He." ”

Chang'an Mansion Yin He Taiping.

Parents of the capital.

"What are you doing here?" He Taiping stretched out his hand and pointed to the courtyard road, and kicked over the empty wooden barrels under the feet of those officials, and scattered fire oil splashed out of the barrels.

He squatted down and touched a handful of oil on the ground, and put his hand in front of the official leader: "I ask you what is this?" ”

The leader of the official mission lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, but he still replied: "Fire oil." ”

"And what is this?" He Taiping pointed to the torches in the hands of the officials.

The voice of the leader of the official mission was calm: "Torches." ”

"What are you going to do in the middle of the night?" He Taiping asked him angrily.

"Set fire." The leader of the official mission replied with an unchanged face.

"Can't you hear that?" He Taiping stretched out his hand and pointed to the house, "People, they are all people, you want to set fire, how is this different from killing people?" ”

He Taiping trembled with anger: "Didn't you gather all those pigs that might be infected and burn them?" What are you doing now? It's not a pig, it's a human! ”

"I'm going to ask your superiors, what are you doing here? Doesn't it say that all the sick should be gathered together and healed? What do you want to innocently mutilate the people of my Chang'an? ”

was scolded by pointing at his head and covering his face, and the leader of the official mission sighed helplessly: "Lord He! ”

"Don't call me." He Taiping was furious, "I will hand the fold into the palace early tomorrow morning to meet Your Majesty, but I want to ask the foot of the Son of Heaven, but the official innocently killed my people in Chang'an, what is the intention?" ”

"We are also on orders." The official messenger slowly spoke, "Lord He, do you think that we are given dozens of dares, and we dare to make such a decision without authorization?" ”

"On whose orders?" He Taiping said angrily, "I'm going to ask what this is for?" It's not an epidemic......"

"It's smallpox." The official said slowly, "Don't let me say it." ”

He Taiping's angry voice suddenly pinched, and after a while, he exclaimed: "Didn't you say swine fever?" ”

"The first to be infected were a few butchers, the symptoms are not obvious, and the adults also know how many people there are in the third street and nine lanes, and how many people can be contacted by the pork sellers in the morning market in a day, as soon as the news comes out, I am afraid that the whole Chang'an will be chaotic." The official said, "So the soldiers and horses of the five cities used the name of swine fever to sprinkle white ash all over the city, in fact, to prevent smallpox." ”

"This ......" He Taiping was startled, and fell silent after a while, "This...... But it's not that it can't be cured, although there are few who are cured, and there are always those who can survive, and you are going to burn everyone with a fire! ”

"Someone sneaked in here a few days ago, and we didn't catch this person." The official said, "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if this person says it, the people who exist in this house will confirm this matter, and the upper authorities say that this matter must be hidden." The symptoms of smallpox can be known to ordinary people at a glance, and they will not be able to hide it when the time comes. ”

"To hide from you, I will burn everyone here, whether they live or die?" He Taiping gasped, shook his head and said, "No, never!" ”

"But......" The official wanted to say something, but He Taiping quickly interrupted him.

"Have you forgotten?" He Taiping said, "Sun Gong is gone, but the divine doctor of the original family is still there." ”

This is God bless Dachu!
