Chapter Sixty-Nine: Moistening the Spring
He was half helpless, half overwhelmed.
"Oh, he's asked several questions in a row, it sounds like a prisoner, I really don't know where to start with you."
Gu Chao hurriedly took it out, his signature smile.
"Uncle, don't mind, my friend, he is like this on weekdays, don't take it to heart, I know you are still sick, maybe you say a lot of words, a little difficult, we are not in a hurry today, how much do you want to say, just say it slowly."
The uncle coughed lightly a few times, and carefully recalled his whereabouts before he got sick.
"Except for a few partners I have with in business, I haven't seen anyone alone, my wife lives in a simple house, and the children are young, so it can't be that they passed it on to everyone, I really can't remember."
Chang Yue asked a question he had always had.
"If the original one was passed on to only one person, and that one person was transmitted to many people?"
Uncle shook his head.
"No, Qingcheng County is so big, but the group of people who got sick at the beginning, some are in the countryside, some are in the south of the city, and some are in the north of the city, and they will never be infected by one person."
Gu Chao retreated to the next best.
"Then let's not talk about others, just talk about you, uncle, have you ever been to a place with a lot of people?"
The uncle was still thinking hard there, but a man about his age next to him was talking.
"Alas, although I don't know, why are you asking this, I only vaguely remember that a few days before the onset of the disease, I went to a hot spring soup restaurant in the countryside, and I seem to have seen this benevolent brother."
The man said and pointed to the uncle.
Uncle suddenly realized.
"Yes! I met there that day, the merchant of Cisse, with whom I had a business dealing, but I was not impressed because he was there, and I stayed for a while, and then left. ”
The man next to him interjected again.
"Yes, the hot spring soup house is a person who looks like Cisse, and I often go to the hot springs there, so I won't be mistaken."
Cisse Merchant! When they finally talked about this, Wei Lingmiao had an incomplete thought in his heart.
Could it be that these merchants of the Western Cypriots brought the diseases of the foreign land to the Central Plains, and the Western Sai tribes, although they surrendered to the Central Plains on the surface, naturally had their own thoughts and ambitions behind the scenes.
If they interact with the merchants of our dynasty and bring their illness into the Central Plains, and see that the people of our dynasty are infected with diseases and violent diseases, they will definitely be very happy in their eyes.
If the disease worsens, they can still take the opportunity to attack, and if the disease spreads and takes the opportunity to wreak havoc, it is really terrible.
Originally, there were no available generals at the border gates, and the imperial court was even more worried, if it really started a war, how long could the honest and responsible General Wu Yanglu resist?
General Gu Zhaochong has been gone for so many years, and their whole family has been wiped out, these things cannot be concealed, maybe those tribes just have no conclusive evidence, and their power is meager, so they dare not act rashly.
If there is a big problem in the Central Plains itself, and their large and small tribes are united, where will they conjure up Gu Zhaochong's son Gu Qiang?
At that time, did he rely on Concubine Rong's seductive tricks to defend against the enemy, or did he rely on Xie Wencheng to paralyze the enemy with his mouth?
"Where is that Cisse merchant at the moment?"
Wei Linghao's inner army was overwhelming, and he didn't care about his tone and expression at all, and the uncle was taken aback again before he said in a slur manner.
"It's been a month or two, I don't know where he went, but if he really infected us, they must have a cure for this disease, if you want to find him, you must ask for a life-saving prescription!"
Everyone on the side listened to the words of the life-saving prescription and echoed one after another.
The voices were weak and meant, women and men.
This time the epidemic, although the number of infected people is not very large, but there are also a large number of people, and it has affected all kinds of people.
Now two big burdens are on the body and have to do it. The first is to prevent the people of Rongqu from taking the salt village, and the second is to visit the source of the epidemic clearly.
Both ends are heavy, and it is a question of who to focus on.
Gu Chao saw that the others also said a few words, so he asked.
"Did any of you go to the hot springs?"
Some of those people said they had been there, and some said they hadn't, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they had all met Cisse.
Gu Chao and Chang Yu have been instilled by Cen Chan with the idea of patriotism and love for their family since they were children, and they know that the border is not very peaceful now, and the two of them also thought about it at this time.
If this is a conspiracy of the Cypriot tribe, they deliberately want to spread this fierce disease to the Central Plains, and then take the opportunity to meet the soldiers of the Central Plains.
Even if they can't compete with the big powers, it is enough to displace the people at the border and make the Central Plains unstable.
Gu Chao looked around and asked everyone.
"Where is that hot spring bath? What do I need to do to meet the Cisse merchant? ”
Chang Yue pulled Gu Chao over hard.
"Are you really going to follow their path straight through? They all said that they had met the merchant or bathed in the hot springs that they had come to this disaster. ”
Gu Chao looked at Chang Heal, and his confidence was a little lacking.
"I don't know if it's going to work, but you can't just leave it alone, right? Didn't you say today, old man, that he had already made progress in curing this disease? It's really not good, I really have this disease, so I went to beg Song Jinyao and begged him to give me a cure for this disease. ”
The people around heard the name Song Jinyao and heard that she had a prescription for curing the disease, and several people who were a little less sick shouted one after another.
"I knew that the girl had a cure, but she didn't say it, she was a little prostitute."
Gu Chao listened and frowned deeply, she suddenly thought of a point, Song Zhicheng was because the people of Qingcheng County said that it was Song Jinyao who spread the epidemic, and in order to save her reputation, they invited them to come down the mountain to investigate the case.
But they just said in unison that it was because of the hot springs and the construction of the Cisse merchants that they got sick, so what did they think?
Chang Yu saw Gu Chao fall into deep thought, and also thought of this, so he spoke up for Gu Chao and asked the patient who was lying around.
Wei Linghao knew very little about the situation in the Song Mansion, and he had never spoken to Song Jinyao, so now he could only follow Gu Chao's train of thought for the time being.
Chang Yu asked, and the people around him were silent all of a sudden, and they stopped talking.
No matter how Gu Chao asked, they all pretended to be asleep and didn't speak, seeing that the answer was right in front of them, but they were stuck in the bottleneck, Gu Chao was really anxious now.
At this time, Wei Linghao's resolute and resolute means came out. He turned to the uncle who sold tea.
"We asked these questions to help you heal your illness, and the girl just now said that she wanted to help you sell the tea, if you don't cooperate, why should we bother with these idle things? Your tea, naturally, who loves to buy it, who will buy it. ”
The uncle glanced at Gu Hao guiltily, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said embarrassedly.
"Actually, in fact, that's what we said was good and spread it out to lie to everyone."
"What? Why are you doing this? ”
Gu Chao was anxious, this is a girl's reputation!
Song Jinyao was so troubled in the past few days because of this incident, and she was scratched for this matter.
Now they actually say that they are lying to everyone?
