However, in two days, the city lord's mansion, which was shrouded in gloomy clouds and mist by the epidemic, was blown up by two news, causing an uproar.

Even the fact that more than half of the infected people are not enough to divert attention.

The first bad news is that a similar case has also been found outside the City Lord's Mansion. Although the patient did not develop erythema, his symptoms were the same as those of the patients in the province.

The second news is that the spread of the wind sickle this time was deliberately carried out by spies sent by the United States, intending to bring about the fall of the city lord's mansion and subvert Mu Ling's rule.

And the person who committed the most heinous crime and lurked beside the city lord with bad intentions was the excellent girl that the city lord bought back 3 months ago - An Ting!

There are a number of eyewitnesses who can testify to the fact that she sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night to poison her and was found out on the spot, so the incident immediately became ironclad evidence that seeing is believing.

The grudge with the partner country for more than half a century has been completely awakened.

Cruel betrayal, long-term contempt, repression in recent years, all kinds of old things, after this incident, were ignited in the hearts of those who knew in anger.

In addition, the rumors of the wind sickle caused anxiety and panic about the epidemic, and the despair and hatred of the infected.

It also allowed people who had been tortured and suppressed by the epidemic for a long time, but did not dare to question the gods they believed in, to find an outlet for catharsis.

When Ji Yuning found out that people began to flee in the mansion, and rumors spread outside the mansion about the poisoning of Younu, such a fire of hatred had already ignited.

In the afternoon, after discussing the countermeasures with Uncle Boxing, Uncle Boxing hesitated:

"Yuning, now some people in the mansion are questioning why An Ting has not been interrogated for a long time! I've heard rumors, and I'm afraid you'll be soft-hearted for a while......"

"I've already arranged this matter, and I'll see it soon." Ji Yuning frowned slightly.

"That's good, this is only in the house, if you wait for the epidemic to spread to Fuyao, or even ...... in the army" After speaking, Uncle Fist sighed,

"Now that martial law and curfew have begun to be implemented outside the house, from tomorrow, the West Market will also be closed, if you want to maintain law and order in the whole city and ensure that the people's lives are safe, you must rely on the army~"

When Ji Yuning heard this, he was silent for a moment: "Got it, Uncle Fist, inform the people over there to expand the procurement of isolation materials, and the existing protective materials will be transferred to the army first." ”

"Good!" Uncle Fist nodded and said no more.

Intellectually speaking, he did not think that the United States needed to resort to such poisoning, but if it was on the cusp, the slightest suspicion could be infinitely magnified.

Although the situation is still under control, these are just his personal inferences.

But if the epidemic gradually develops to the point where it is difficult to control, the people who do not know the truth, their families are ruined, and even the army will inevitably need an outlet to vent their anger.

Ji Yuning didn't understand the truth of this, there was no basic education in the boundless land, and since he was a child, he had followed the most knowledgeable bachelors here, and was familiar with the traditional classics that had survived in the dark era.

"Analects", "Warring States Policy", and "Historical Records" ...... that he has both theoretical knowledge and personal experience of the good and evil in human nature, as well as the turbulent situation of internal and external troubles.

There is the danger of the wind sickle in the past, and you don't even need to know the ability to know the subtleties, you only need to deduce it according to the normal state of history, and you can predict it-

An Ting is likely to become the target of public criticism under the ravages of this epidemic, even if she is innocent~

But is she really innocent? Even if it wasn't her, the time when Shangguan Haozhe appeared was too coincidental.

Besides, why did she put something unknown into the drinking tank in the middle of the night, and why didn't she want to explain why?

This series of unsolvable questions made him only hold back the urge to question her and curb his guesses and assumptions.

The next morning, Ji Yuning, who finally waited for the information, appeared outside the 'No. 1' dungeon in the mansion that was specially used to hold the descendants of the Ji family and political dignitaries.

Before he could reach the prison door, he heard a shouting from ahead.

“…… Haven't you betrayed the people of the country to eat sand in your meal? Hey, let me tell you, this sand can't eat people, unlike you, what kind of biochemical virus you do, just a little bit of a star, you will kill people in one city after another! ”

Seeing that there was no sound inside, the man laughed again: "Hmph! Don't think I'm afraid of you, I might be infected tomorrow, if you want me to say, it's a waste of food for you......"

"Bring it!" A low shout interrupted his rambling.

"City Lord? I ,......" Seeing Ji Yuning, the guard was instantly stunned, and he couldn't speak.

Ji Yuning swept over the tray he was carrying, and saw that there was only a bowl of broken rice on it, and there were many fine cyan stone slags mixed in the rice with the naked eye, which seemed to be broken bricks.

"Whose idea?"

Feeling the coercion in front of him, the guard shrank for a moment, not daring to squeak. It was up to the guards of their dungeon to discuss it and teach the damned woman a lesson.

"What, you want me to deliver food every day?"

"No, don't dare, city lord! I, I'm going to prepare a standard meal again. The guard's tongue finally came to light, and he wisely planned to anoint the soles of his feet.

"Give me the key!"

When she got the key and walked into the room, Su Xiaoting, who heard the voice, had already got up and stood in the center of the room.

Ji Yuning stared at her for a moment, not seeing remorse, fear, and uneasiness on her face, nor anger, humiliation, and dissatisfaction.

Only because of the clammy cold of the cell, the face appeared fairer.

"You're here!" The sound is still calm and soft, like a warm spring breeze.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Ji Yuning asked as calmly as possible.

"If you mean ...... that night," Su Xiaoting shook her head.

"But I want to say!" Ji Yuning's tone fluctuated, "There is no virus in the water, what do you want to do?" ”

“？” Su Xiaoting opened her mouth in surprise.

"I said that I would find out clearly, naturally I will not break my word, I have already found someone to test it, and the water will not make people sick!"

He asked his subordinates to find the death row inmates who were about to be executed in prison, whether they were willing to test the medicine, and if they were lucky, they could be exempted from the death penalty and sentenced to a long prison sentence.

As a result, the two death row inmates, after drinking a bowl of water from the tank every day, were in much better spirits after three days. Of course, the reporter felt that this was perfectly normal for someone who had escaped death.

should have been observed for a little longer, but the current situation is not optimistic, and from the bottom of his heart, Ji Yuning never believed that this epidemic was deliberately done by Su Xiaoting.

"Thank you!"

"So I really don't understand, why do you act like this, do you know...... Even so, this matter will be considered by those who have a heart to be just an attempted poisoning! ”

Ji Yuning took two steps forward, grabbed Su Xiaoting's hand and said, "Xiaoting!" If I believe what you say, won't you believe me, and I can protect you? ”

"Yuning! …… I know this is embarrassing you! But...... I have a reason why I can't believe it, and even if I say it, people won't believe it. ”

"I believe it! …… As long as you tell the truth, I will face it with you, and I will never let you suffer unjustly. Feeling the looseness in Su Xiaoting's words, Ji Yuning solemnly assured.

Su Xiaoting shook her head with a wry smile and withdrew her hand, "...... Maybe one day, I'll prove it to you, but not now. ”

In the past few days, she has thought about it repeatedly in her heart, since she can't announce it to the public, what's the use of saying it?
