"It's inside, Lord of the County, please." Qin Chengcheng personally held the torch and welcomed Xu Qingyan inside.

In the side rooms on both sides of the main hall, several figures were reflected, and judging from the silhouettes outside the window, these people had become ill and were walking around the room like headless window flies.

Some even tried to open the door, but they couldn't do anything because they were locked from the outside.

"Open the door." Xu Qingyan stood in front of the side room on the left and said.

A messenger obeyed the order and took the key from his waist.

Qin County Ling stepped forward and explained, "For the sake of the county lord's safety, before coming here, this official has asked them to pour a large amount of sleeping medicine, although these people have abnormal physique, they can still walk as usual after pouring medicine, but the attack power has been weakened a lot, in order to ensure the safety of the county lord, I will let two people go in with you later." “

"Guo Zhengchu, Yao Guanghua, when you two go in with the county lord, you must protect the safety of the county lord."

"Yes." The two of them surrendered.

As soon as the door lock was opened, the people inside wanted to rush out, but Xu Qingyan, who was standing by the door, held it down, and then pushed it back.

Qin Zhengcheng looked at this scene with a smile, and realized that he seemed to be thinking too much, this Le'an County Lord was not as weak as he thought, at least there was no problem with self-preservation.

When Xu Qingyan heard the news, she looked slightly stunned.

She also wanted to test it again at night, so as to determine the way to crack it, who knew that this Qin County order hurriedly issued such an order, and it was really a vigorous and resolute character

But he can't be blamed, after all, it's been a year since this kind of strange thing happened in this county, and if it were a ruthless county order, I'm afraid they would have all been executed a long time ago.

After thinking about it, she had no choice but to ask Lingxian to take her worship sticker to the county office, "You tell Lord Qin that the county lord has discovered this, let him arrest people in a smaller way, catch the city first, and let the outside of the city go first, and then discuss it after tonight." ”

"Yes." The fairy took the post and went.

Xu Qingyan turned around and went back to the room, thinking about what to do next

A prefecture-level county has a population of tens of thousands, and half of it is five or six thousand. So many people need healing, even if her merit and gratitude are really effective, she can't bear to make such a thing.

And she doesn't necessarily have so much merit yet, which is really a sad thing.

After half a pillar of incense, Xu Qingyan was studying the formation diagram left by her master, and she heard the spirit fairy report outside, "Miss, the county commander asks to see you." ”

"Wait a minute" put away the formation diagram, Xu Qingyan straightened her clothes, and then opened the door and said, "Let's go." “

In the lobby downstairs, Qin County Ling stood with his hands in his hands, and behind him stood two yacha who had come in the morning, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly turned around and bowed, "Lou Huai County Ling Qin Cheng has seen the county lord of Le'an." “

"Lord Qin, please take a seat, and the spirit fairy will serve tea."

"I heard the fairy girl say that the county lord has discovered the strange things in this county, I don't know what I found, can I say that I will listen to the lower officials" As soon as Qin Chengcheng sat down, he got straight to the point.

Xu Qingyan looked around, maybe Qin Chengcheng also knew the confidentiality of this matter, so he cleared the scene in advance, and at this time, there were no other idle people in the lobby except for them.

"It's been a year since the strange thing happened in your county, have you ever wondered why the sick man only had a seizure at night, but during the day he recovered as before, and he didn't remember what happened at night?"

"I thought about it, but in the end I couldn't come up with a result, the official also invited a famous doctor, but they were helpless, seeing that after the infected person had a seizure, the impact became worse and worse, the official was both sad and helpless, so he could only choose to strengthen the soil and break his wrist to save the remaining people."

"Don't be in a hurry to be pessimistic, after last night's observation, the lord of this county has discovered the mystery of their recovery during the day, and has thought of a way to crack it, but it has not been tested, and it cannot be confirmed."

"Then I don't know when the county lord will be able to experiment," Qin Chengcheng asked with a slight hesitation.

"After nightfall, when they get sick again, it's the best time."

"Ah" Qin Zhengcheng didn't expect Xu Qingyan to be so fast, and thought that she would delay for a few days. came back to his senses, and said busily, "Then I don't know what the officials can do, and what needs to be cooperated, but the county lord said that it doesn't matter." “

"It's nothing, just the adults will transfer ten infected people individually, men, women, and children of all ages, between nightfall, and go to a place where no one is disturbed, preferably a clean place like a separate courtyard."

"That's fine." Qin Chengcheng nodded, "I don't know if the county lord wants anything else, such as medicinal herbs and the like"

"No, this disease is not an ordinary disease, and ordinary medicinal materials are of little use to it, I will prepare what I need, as long as Lord Qin is responsible for what I just said."

"No problem, don't worry, county lord."

"That's okay, by the way, I forgot to ask the adults, I don't know when these people got sick"

"This official doesn't know specifically, but he only knows that when he discovered this problem, the flood in this county had just receded for three days."

"Do you think this has something to do with the flood?"

"Floods don't, it's not contagious at all, it's not a pandemic."

"I didn't say he was a plague." Xu Qingyan smiled, "It's just that so many people suffer from an incontagious disease at the same time, which makes people even more scared." “

Most of these things have a commonality, and if you can find this commonality, you can find the source of their illness.

Only when the source is eliminated can the disease be truly cured.

"What does the lord mean?"

Seeing Qin Chengcheng's dazed look, Xu Qingyan sighed, "Forget it, it's really a little difficult to ask Lord Qin about finding the source, it's still night, I'll ask the patient myself." ”

"The source, the county lord is looking for the source of the disease"

"Well, what, Lord Qin knows"

Qin Chengcheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "When this incident first happened, the official sent someone to verify it, and later said that when the flood occurred, they seemed to have been washed into an unknown valley outside the city at the same time. “

"Valley" Xu Qingyan sat up straight in an instant.

"Well, they also said that there is a stone road leading to the Li River in the mountain valley, and when they were rushed in, they tightly grasped the stones protruding from the stone wall, and only then did they escape, and some people who did not catch them were directly washed into the Li River, and there were no bones."

"Where is that valley, and the lord wants to see it."

"Twenty miles to the right of the east city gate, near the Li River, there is a mountain, just to the west of that mountain. The official also took someone to see it, but found nothing. ”

Next, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Qin County Ling took his leave.

Xu Qingyan returned to the room and continued to take out the previous formation map, which was left to her by her master Dugu Bancheng. The Cultivation Realm Instrument Array is not separated, and Dugu Bancheng is the sect master of the Instrument Sect, so the formation path is naturally not weak in this aspect.

This array diagram is brief, from the lowest first-grade spirit gathering array to the super-grade time formation, there is everything. And Xu Qingyan stared at the low-grade spirit gathering array or thoughtfully.

In the outside world, the arrest order issued by the Qin County Order caused an uproar in the city, and many family members of the patients expressed strong protests against this, and various means of evading pursuit brought tremendous resistance to the arrest of officers and soldiers.
