() The common people began to believe in Gu Ziyuan's position, and everyone had a kind of empathy, they learned that the county orders were all infected, either they had a sense of happiness in their hearts, or they had more sympathy, but at the beginning, their disgust with Gu Ziyuan dissipated a lot, and in the end, Zhao said that he couldn't help everyone, and he also ran away in a huff.

Back at the county office, both of them looked solemn.

The herbs that had been so hard to find back were so poisonous that the attempt to relieve the disease was suddenly interrupted, and Fang Cai was disturbed by the three tyrants for a while, and he couldn't help but start to feel a little upset, but Gu Ziyuan quickly calmed down and took Bai Rong to the front hall to continue the discussion.

He looked at the remaining herbs, thinking that if he didn't try it again, there would still be no explanation from the common people, and the illness on their and Bai Rong's bodies would not be delayed, even for Bai Rong's sake, he would not hesitate to try the medicine.

Gu Ziyuan said to her, "Let's boil another bowl of medicinal juice." ”

"Where did we get the medicine?" Bai Rong was puzzled, and soon understood again, and looked at the "Red Kou" that he picked back, the bright red small flower was like a drop of cinnabar blood, so red that it seeped through.

Bai Rong was stunned, "You want to try this medicine?" ”

Gu Ziyuan nodded and said seriously: "Now we have no other way, it is better to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and fight poison with poison, if I am healthy, it means that it is feasible." ”

"No, we don't know how toxic this herb is, if you die because of this, then I, then I." Bai Rong bit the corner of his lip and threw himself into his arms and hugged him tightly, "Then what should I do?" You can't leave me behind. ”

The words she said later were coquettish, but the tone was not half light.

Bai Rong bit her lip hard, as if she was suppressing her emotions, and her thin lips were bitten so much that she was about to lose her blood, Gu Ziyuan felt distressed and gently comforted her back, "Okay, I won't try, don't bite." ”

After a while, Bai Rong separated from him again, went back to the house and got some props, "I'll go and look for the "Red Kou" again, maybe these just look alike, not real, you have a good rest, wait for me to come back." ”

Without waiting for Gu Ziyuan to respond, she hurriedly ran out.

After sitting quietly for a long time, Gu Ziyuan stood up and wanted to bring the remaining "red kou" to the stove room, but before he could go out, there was a figure standing outside the door, respectful.

It is the bookkeeper of the county office, named Wu Xun, who looks like an honest person, usually works silently, and there are not too many mistakes

, can be regarded as a conscientious family.

He bowed down and poked his head out of the door, "Master, little one, I have something I want to tell you." ”

"Come in." Gu Ziyuan agreed.

Wu Xun knelt down with a plop, kowtowed, and said: "Master, in fact, I have been hiding one thing from you, but I really don't want to go, I will say it, but sir, don't drive me out!" ”

When tears fell, Wu Xun brought Gu Ziyuan into his memories a few days ago.

That day, Wu Xun went to visit a friend's house by the river, the weather was hot, before leaving, he went to the river to wash his face, and was about to leave, but he heard the sound of several people discussing in the reeds.

So the ghost made a mistake, he couldn't help but lean over and eavesdrop, but the distance seemed to be a little far, and he couldn't hear anything this time, and he gently brushed aside the corner of the reeds and saw the three tyrants sneakily gathered together.

They carried a few dead fowls, and could see that the carcasses of the fowl were beginning to rot and blacken, and many flies were flying around, and the three tyrants threw the dead birds into the river.

Wu Xun was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't want to disturb them, but when he wanted to leave, he accidentally dismantled the dry firewood and alarmed Sanba, who soon found him, "Who is there!" ”

"Catch him, don't let him run!"

Wu Xun ran away, but he was still caught by them, and he hurriedly held his head, "Ah! Don't, don't hit me. You, what are you going to do here? ”

Jing Yu and Zhao stared at him, suppressing his hands left and right to prevent him from running, "Hmph, don't pretend to be stupid, did you see it all just now?" ”

Cold sweat had begun to break out on his face, but Wu Xun didn't dare to admit it, so he had to stubbornly fool around, "I didn't, I just came down to wash my face and passed by, I could, what could I see." ”

Cheng Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "You really didn't see what we did?" ”

Jing Yu snorted, grabbed Wu Xun's collar and stretched out his hand to beat someone, "Big brother, don't believe him, this person must be playing tricks and denying it, just now he was clearly discovered by us and wanted to escape." ”

Zhao also agreed: "That is, let him go and have endless troubles." ”

Wu Xun was so panicked that snot and tears were about to come out, and he hurriedly shouted and begged them for mercy: "I really didn't see anything, a few big brothers spare me!" ”

Although they didn't want to let him go easily, they thought that Wu Xun was a person from the county office, and if they did something to him, they might

exposed the actions of the three of them, so Cheng Yan threatened viciously: "If you dare to tell us about what we are here today, you see that Uncle Ben will not spare you." ”

"Yes, if we are exposed, don't blame us for being unkind, let's go to your house for a get-together." After Jing Yu finished speaking, he shook his bruised fist.

"Little don't dare, I haven't been here today, I haven't seen anything, I don't know anything." Wu Xun escaped death and didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Later, he returned to the county office in a daze, and it didn't take long for the news of the plague to spread, and indirectly the old man in the county town brought people to the door to make trouble and eradicate the evil spirits.

Wu Xun's conscience was whipped day by day, and finally he couldn't stand it, and felt that he had told everything, "They, although they let me go, they have been wandering outside my house when there is nothing to do, and they warn me every day that I am not allowed to tell the truth, but I really, really can't see it." ”

He still knelt, "My lord, please forgive me, I never wanted to hurt you, I really had to do it!" ”

Gu Ziyuan shook his head when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder, and helped him up, "It's not your fault, if I had come earlier, I wouldn't have let them run rampant and coerce you so rampantly." ”

The people here are used to being oppressed by the three tyrants, and it is naturally impossible to get rid of the shadows easily, Wu Xun can muster up the courage to say it regardless of the consequences, how can he not suffer and struggle in his heart.

And he is glad that someone is willing to stand up and tell him, which means that someone has begun to see his hard work and sincerity and start to trust him.

This may be the first, but soon there will be a second and a third, and then the whole county, and all the people will one day believe that he can bring peace and harmony to this land.

"Don't worry, since you told me about it, I won't put you in danger, you'd better not go out these days, wait for me to deal with this matter, with me, they won't dare to do anything to you." Gu Ziyuan said.

Wu Xun was grateful in his heart, but he regretted why he didn't recognize Gu Ziyuan's reliability and credibility earlier, and if he had said things earlier, he might not have caused such a disaster as he is now.

Wu Xun muttered to himself: "If I had told the adults earlier, this plague might not have appeared!" Here, here, too, my fault, I hurt everyone. ”
