Everyone knows that if there was no Su Xuanmin, Jingnan would have been attacked by the Southern Wei Dynasty.

And he finally forced Xie Yuan to kill him, in order not to fall into the hands of Southern Wei as a hostage.

Xiao Mian had heard about this before, but he didn't know anything else.

He only thought that these people in front of him had been protected by Su Xuanmin, and had received the kindness of Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan, but he blamed Su Xuanmin for a few nonsense words from others, so he didn't pretend to be to them, and reprimanded them coldly:

"Su Xuanmin took his own life to keep Jingnan, but you almost killed his daughter because of a few gossips."

"If he knew that he had saved you white-eyed wolves, he would be able to come back to life even if he died."

"And you!"

He pointed to the person who spoke just now, and said coldly, "I want to cover up your stupid and poisonous, selfish and ignorant with a word of unintentionality, if Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan really died because they saved you, can you feel at ease?" ”

Xiao Mian said unceremoniously, and almost pointed at their noses and scolded them for being white-eyed wolves.

Sister-in-law Xue and the others were all scolded and hung their heads, not daring to refute for half a sentence, and even more their faces were red as if they were about to drip blood, full of shame.

Su Ruan couldn't help but say, "Brother Xiao......"

As soon as she wanted to say something, she was shaken by Qi Wenfu's hand, and Qi Wenfu said before she could speak, "Chen Han is dead." ”

Sister-in-law Xue and the others were all wide-eyed.

Qi Wenfu said: "After you disappeared, there were constant rumors in the city, wanting to take advantage of the conflict between you and the government to make a bigger matter, and after Su Ruan and I were brought here by He Fangniang and them, we encountered a siege by the dead. ”

"If we hadn't been careful and prepared, I'm afraid we would have died at the hands of those people."

Qi Wenfu pointed to the people who were gagged and tied aside and said, "From their mouths, we know that Chen Han was killed by them not long after you disappeared. ”

When a group of people heard that Chen Han was dead, their faces were a little pale.

They already suspected that what Chen Han said was false, and now that Chen Han was killed, if Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan were deceived by He Fangniang and them into the fishing village, and they also died there without defense, then would it be them next?

Sister-in-law Xue's teeth chattered, "Qi ...... Lord Qi...... You're going to save us......"

Others spoke up.

"Miss Su, we were wrong, we shouldn't misunderstand Master Su, and we shouldn't believe their words."

"Lord Qi, we don't dare anymore, you must save us."

Qi Wenfu looked at the group of people with frightened faces, and only spoke after a while: "Don't worry, since I brought you back, I will naturally try my best to protect you, but don't say anything about what I said just now." ”

"Jing Nan's case has finally been overturned, if these words come out at this time, even if it is not true, I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble, and if you are used as a raft at that time, no one will be able to help you."

A group of people nodded hurriedly when they heard this.

"We know!"

"We won't say it, Chen Han deliberately lied to us, we won't be fooled again!!"

After Qi Wenfu asked a few more words, these people knew everything and said everything, and after he figured out everything he wanted to know, he comforted them a few words, and asked them to rest for a while, and then come to pick them up after the boat docked.

Qi Wenfu pulled Su Ruan out of the cabin, and Xiao Mian followed.

"These people are really stupid, they fooled them with a few words, and almost even you were trapped." Xiao Mian complained to the two of them and said, "But the person who did this is really vicious." ”

"Lord Su's reputation has finally been cleared and revealed, if these words are spread, even if they are not true, I am afraid that they will cause gossip, so that Lord Su's reputation will be damaged and humiliated."

Su Ruan was silent when he heard this.

Qi Wenfu felt a wet piece in her palm.

Xiao Mian talked for a long time, and when he saw that the two of them were silent, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you?" ”

He saw that Su Ruan's face was a little wrong, and Qi Wenfu's eyes were slightly downcast, the look on Xiao Mian's face slowly converged, and gradually showed a little consternation, and he lost his voice: "No......"

Xiao Mian just wanted to blurt out, but he thought that there were other people on this boat, he quickly glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one on their side, and the nearest was some distance, so he lowered his voice and said,

"Could it be that what Chen Han said is true, Master Su, he really ......?"

He couldn't say it, could it be that Su Xuanmin really killed those soldiers who defended the city with him?

Can......

But how is this possible?!

Su Ruan pursed her lips tightly, and only after a while did she whisper, "They are infected with the plague. ”

Xiao Mian and Qi Wenfu's faces changed slightly.

"Xie Yuan told me."

Su Ruan's eyes were heavy, and he took a deep breath and said, "At that time, it was wartime, after Xie Yuan led his troops to take over Jingnan, there were continuous disasters inside, and there was a siege by Southern Wei outside, and the troops led by Xie Yuan were already stretched. ”

"Later, my father brought back food and bought Xie Yuan seven days, and Xie Yuan led the troops to fight with the Southern Wei Dynasty, and gradually gained the upper hand, seeing that the Southern Wei Dynasty showed signs of defeat, but who knew that at this time, there was a sudden epidemic in Jingzhou City, and my father and the soldiers who defended the city were not spared."

"Xie Yuan hurriedly isolated the people and sent someone to send the letter back to Beijing quickly, but it was credible that it was in Beijing but it was lost in the sea, and there was no news for a long time."

Su Ruan still remembered that Xie Qingheng knew the truth from Xie Yuan and told him the truth little by little, and she whispered what she had heard to Qi Wenfu and Xiao Mian.

From the discovery of the plague to the beginning of the deaths, it was only a few days.

Jingzhong did not respond for a long time, but Jingnan began to have people dying continuously, and the epidemic did not stop at all, even after those soldiers were isolated, the plague still spread outward at an unpredictable speed.

One to ten, ten to hundred.

At that time, if you don't want to stop it, I'm afraid that the whole of Jingzhou will become a dead city.

Su Ruan said slowly, "At that time, the Southern Wei Dynasty had not retreated, but there was an epidemic in the city, and some people took the opportunity to cause trouble, and even Xie Yuan's heavy troops in his hands could not suppress the chaos in the hearts of the people. ”

"Even if Jingzhong sent the imperial doctor south, it would not be able to catch up with the rapid spread of the epidemic, and the Southern Wei army was approaching the city, and Jingzhou was in danger, so my father personally killed the people who were almost dying of the plague with him, and then secretly went out of the city himself."

"After that, you all know."

Su Xuanmin knew that he would die, and he did not want to infect Jingzhou with his own body, so he used himself as bait to lure the Southern Wei generals out of the camp, and let Xie Yuan kill him and the Southern Wei generals in front of the battle to repel the Southern Wei army.

Qi Wenfu stood there quietly, speechless for a while.

Xiao Mian's face was full of shock.
