168 Identification of the source
The evening sun shines warmly on the ground, a burst of birdsong passes, the river ripples, and you can see the end at a glance, but no fish is willing to show its shadow, and it looks a little colder than before.
"There is no problem with the farmland."
"It's me who thinks too much."
Fang Xing got off his horse and walked on the edge of the river, thinking about whether it was her problem, she always likes to treat people with evil, so she thinks that this epidemic is also deliberately caused by someone, maybe because of the disaster, it is the bad luck of Nanjun that has these two disasters?
"Don't be discouraged, keep looking."
"Hmm."
Fang Xing and Yan Yun got on the horse and walked forward, several guards followed behind, it stands to reason that it is better to leave Yan Yun there to take care of the patients, but with the lesson of the last time, Fang Xing has to keep an eye on it, for her, Yan Yun's safety is indeed much more important than those ordinary officers and soldiers.
"Yuwang Palace.."
“...”
Fang Xing and the others happened to whizz past not far from Bai Yuqi and Nanjun Taishou, Nanjun Taishou embarrassedly put down his right hand to say hello, I was sure that Fang Xing must have known that they were there from afar, but he deliberately passed by without looking.
"This King Yu is really unsightly."
"Don't worry about her, remember the words of this king, don't go against her in the future, and tell the people below to do their best to get through the difficulties in Nanjun this time."
Nanjun Taishou nodded obediently, but he couldn't wait to jump up and point at Fang Xing's nose and curse, but when he thought of Bai Yuqi's warning words, he would still remember them and implement them honestly.
"Hey, the king of Japan will also go back these two days, you remember that when the epidemic is over, you must enter Beijing to admit your mistake before Fang wakes up, otherwise let her sue her father first, and this king will not be able to protect you."
"Understand, His Royal Highness Lao has bothered, and the lower officials will not make mistakes again."
Nanjun Taishou's flattering face is not annoying, Bai Yuqi feels a little disgusted in his heart, but he still has a loving look on his face, this Nanjun Taishou is a little embarrassed, he is older Bai Yuqi doesn't know how many rounds, no way, here has always been the size of the person according to the size of the position.
"His Royal Highness King Qi! Oh no! ”
"What's wrong?"
Bai Yuqi's secret guard galloped over, took a breath and whispered something in Bai Yuqi's ear, Nanjun Taishou still had a smile on his face, but looking at Bai Yuqi's obedient and tense look, he couldn't laugh anymore..
"His Royal Highness King Qi?"
"This king has something important to do and will return to Beijing now, you remember this king's words!"
To the surprise of Nanjun Taishou, but in the blink of an eye, Bai Yuqi rode his horse and left the place, looking at the direction, it seemed that he was going to return to Yan'an City directly, and there was no time for Fang Xing and the others to say goodbye, it seemed that something important had happened.
Nanjun Taishou exhaled, as soon as Bai Yuqi's secret guard left, he immediately whistled leisurely, he didn't worry about anything, Bai Yuqi would keep him whatever he said, after all, he had done too much for Concubine Ning.
"Phew!"
"What's wrong?"
Fang Xing passed by a low slope and felt bad in his heart, grabbed the reins and stopped the horses, maybe Yan Yun didn't notice it, but the few guards behind felt it, and even the horses under him were overwhelmed by the smell of blood and neighed in a low voice.
"Your Highness?"
"Open it and take a look."
Several people finally locked the straw that was spread out vertically on the edge of the low slope, and a guard got Fang Xing's permission, and waved away the straw with the handle of the knife without the slightest fear. It's just that the scene inside frightened several guards hurriedly covered their mouths and protected Fang Xing to retreat.
The panicked eyeballs kept spinning back and forth, it turned out that the low slope had been dug a hole and covered it with straw, and there were not only hungry patients with dull eyes, but also a few corpses that seemed to have been dead for a day or two...
"You guys.."
"We're not sick, don't kill us! Don't kill us .."
Fang Xing just took a step forward, these guards were not in a hurry, but the people in the cave were frightened, and they squeezed back one by one, but the hole was only a little bigger, and it seemed that they were all frightened.
"You go back and find someone to pull the cart and send the living to be healed, and the dead ask for their names, record them, and burn them.."
"Your Highness?"
"Each of you finds a booklet and charcoal, and walks around separately to see if there are any such people."
"Yes."
Fang Xing's voice trembled slightly, and people like her couldn't bear to see it, although these guards were a little worried about being infected, but they were more sad and regretful, this disaster passed, and I don't know how many families will be separated.
Fang Xing and Yan Yun kept checking until night, in order to prevent any omissions, they went back to those infected counties to investigate one by one, but they still had no clue, and finally there was really no way to go back to the place where the patients gathered first, and if they went on like this, I really don't know how long they would have to be busy here.
"His Royal Highness King Yu has returned, I don't know if I can find it.."
"It's all recorded?"
The candlelight flickered here like the daylight, Fang Xing was inevitably a little upset, just as soon as the Manan County Taishou came over and seemed to care, even if the tone was very modest, he couldn't hide his coy attitude, didn't he just want to laugh at Fang Xing for nothing, but unfortunately Fang Xing ignored him at all, and walked straight to the guards on the side, a touch of anger appeared on the face of the Nanjun Taishou, and it immediately dissipated.
"Yes, my subordinates have checked, drawn the places where the patients were found, and marked these infected cities and counties, this is a summary, Your Highness, please take a look."
"Okay.."
Yan Yun had already gone over to check the patient's pulse, Fang Xing took the booklet and looked at everyone's faces, casually found a stool behind him and sat down to look at it carefully, looking at the black and white eyes showing a hint of surprise, and then stood up and walked over there.
"Chen Liang?"
"See Your Highness."
Fang Xing's eyes were scrutinized, and he saw such a character at random glance, originally after Chen Guogong's matter passed, Fang Xing had already forgotten about this person, not for anything else, he didn't want to deal with this family at all, but he didn't expect Chen Liang to be a non-stop, but this non-stop doesn't seem to be bad.
"What are you doing here?"
"It's the same as His Highness, but it's only a little bit of effort.."
Same as Fang Xing? Fang Xing collected the cold light in his eyes and smiled silently, he had the heart to come here to do something for the people, so he added it when the Hubu Shangshu recruited people, but Fang Xing came here but it was not entirely out of kindness, so it can't be counted as the same.
"Then you should be busy, and be careful yourself."
"Thank you, Your Highness, it's just that there is something unclear below, why should this medicine bowl be scalded with boiling water from a cauldron before being used?"
Why is it hot? Isn't that a fuss... Fang Xing was stunned for a moment and was about to answer, his tightly knit brows stretched out in an instant, his originally cold expression softened, the corners of his lips rose, he keenly smelled a clue, and hurriedly beckoned to call the guards on the side.
"That's the river drawn next to it, right?"
"Yes . . . That's right! ”
The guards who came over stared at the place where Fang Xing's hand was pointing, and he was suspicious in his heart and wanted to ask what he meant, and suddenly understood, if they hadn't drawn this picture, it was estimated that it would not be easy to find that all the infected counties were next to this river, and it would be too coincidental if it was a coincidence.
"This big brother, do you usually eat well water or?"
"Huh? This.. Nature is river water. ”
The man who was asked looked at Fang Xing a little nervously, Chen Liang was a little puzzled by what happened to Fang Xing suddenly. Didn't he just ask why he had to burn the dishes... Could it be that the cause of this epidemic is the river water, and it seems that Chen Liang has slowly reacted.
"Lord Ding, you take a few guards and keep looking upstream, maybe the problem is here."
"Yes, yes.."
Fang Xing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Chen Liang with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that his subordinates had pulled a cart with a wooden bucket full of well water on it, because Fang Xing had always felt that well water was the most pure natural water, whether there were those strange curative effects or not, it was better than river water, but he didn't think deeply about it.
"Because the utensils we usually use, even if they are brushed clean, there are still some dirty things that cannot be seen on them, and if they are scalded with boiling hot water for a period of time, the dirty things will be gone."
"I see.."
Chen Liang nodded suspiciously, feeling that what Fang Xing said was very suspenseful. There would be something dirty in such a clean little bowl, but for the sake of Fang Xing's always been so powerful, I will believe it for the time being.
"Relieved?"
"If you really find out, you will indeed be relieved."
Yan Yun came over with the medicinal herbs and asked gently, Fang Xing replied and showed him a mesmerizing smile, Chen Liang was a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly glanced at it and quickly lowered his head and poured the residue in the medicine jar.
"But do you think that Nanjun is really poor?"
"Really?"
Fang Xing asked softly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, Yan Yun glanced at her, and she didn't think deeply, not to mention Fang Xing, even Chen Liang felt it, Nanjun should be a rich land here, but the people they saw and heard were all about to go hungry, could it be that it was just a disaster?
"Your Highness, do you know what this famine is?"
"What do you mean?"
Fang Xing leaned against the pillar behind him and looked at Chen Liang seriously, a pair of clear eyes did not have any expression, but it made Chen Liang's heart tremble, he didn't have the slightest idea of Fang Xing, but every time he saw Fang Xing, he felt a sense of oppression, which was quite strange..
"Just like curing the disease and eradicating the roots, Lin Yucheng has been in famine for many years, if it is just a blind relief instead of solving it, it is useless in the next view."
"So you know why?"
Fang Xing also asked about the famine, but Rao is that she has lived for two lives, and she has no opinion on this aspect, so she can only stand by and watch, if anyone can solve the phenomenon of no harvest in many places in Nanjun at the moment, it can be said to be a great achievement.
Chen Liang stopped what he was doing, his eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth hooked a shallow arc, and Chong Fang Xing nodded firmly, he really knew why.
