Chapter 210: Fire
In the grove, there were the sounds of fists and feet, screams and ...... Angry rooster crows.
Fortunately, Fuxing stuffed the man's own broken shoes in his mouth, and howled, and his voice was not particularly penetrating.
At this time, no one passed by the roadside.
About half a pillar of incense, Fuxing came back with duck duck and high morale.
"Master, it's too vicious, the Duke of Zhenguo actually sent them to Sanhe Town to spread the plague." As he spoke, Fu Xing handed a medicine bottle the size of his thumb to Su Qing.
"That's it, it is said that as long as it is sprinkled into the water, the people of Sanhe Town will suffer from an incurable disease, and it is extremely contagious."
Fuxing's small face is angry.
"It's not a thing."
Su Qing took the small medicine bottle, but in his mind, he remembered the words of Changqing and Rong Heng who were in the camp tent.
Changqing is full of righteous indignation, it should be this matter.
Zhen Guogong wants to kill Rong Heng with the plague, and Rong Heng already knows it.
Then he just urged himself to leave......
His heart warmed, and Su Qing's hand holding the medicine bottle tightened, "Uncle, Lao Tzu's people dare to move, go, go back to Beijing and beat him!" ”
"What about him?" Fuxing pointed to the people in the grove.
"The bundle is strong, throw it away." After the words fell, Su Qing paused, "You go back to Sanhe Town to buy a sack and bring it back to Beijing." ”
Hearing this, Fuxing reached out and touched it under the saddle, and in an instant, he pulled out a sack and said with a smile: "Master, you don't have to buy it." ”
After saying that, he happily returned to the grove with the sack.
Su Qing......
Turned back to Kyoto, tidied up a little, changed his clothes, rummaged through the cabinets and found a small medicine bottle, and threw it to Fuxing, "You take this to the Zhenguo Mansion and sprinkle it in their water, so that no one will find out." ”
Fuxing's eyes immediately lit up, "Master, arsenic?" ”
Su Qing......
Although she really wanted to be straightforward, simple and rude to poison the princess of Zhenguo.
But......
Her father said that if you want to kill a person, you must take it step by step, and you can't do it yourself, that is, to reach the kind of state where the person is dead and she is still very innocent.
In a nutshell: kill the other person, but don't hurt yourself.
Su Qing felt that her father was right, although her father had not reached this level for sixteen years.
She took the baton.
"It's not arsenic, it's just a powder that makes people have a rash and itch." Su Qing explained.
Fuxing looked puzzled, "Master, Zhenguo Gong is so not a thing, even if you are kind-hearted and don't use arsenic, you have to return a tooth for a tooth, use the bottle of Zhenguo Gong." ”
"After using it, what if the people from the Zhenguo Mansion come into contact with outsiders? Do you want the whole of Kyoto to be buried together? ”
As a soldier, she hates this kind of thing that harms the people for her own selfishness, and she will not dye her own hands.
The people are there to be protected.
Fuxing blinked, the master was right.
Then he was puzzled, "Then why didn't the master expose him to His Majesty?" ”
Su Qing sighed, "That person is just a dead soldier of Zhenguo Gong, and there is no mark on his body to prove that he is indeed the person of Zhenguo Gong, and when the time comes, Zhenguo Gong will deny it, and the emperor can't do anything with him." ”
Rather than the emperor not being able to do anything to him, it is better for her to take the first step.
Fuxing nodded, everything was figured out, "Okay~"
Cheerfully answered, turned his head and went out.
Su Qing added behind her back, "Throw that person to the Zhenguo Mansion as well, and before throwing it, pour him some medicine and tell him that it is the one that Zhenguo Gong gave him." ”
"Understood!"
"When you're done, meet at the palace gate."
"Yes."
Fuxing took the order and left, Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, raised his feet and went straight to the palace.
According to the arrangement of Zhen Guogong, since he sent someone to Sanhe Town, presumably he should enter the palace soon.
After all, once the epidemic really spreads, he can't afford this sin.
He just wanted Rong Heng to die.
Taking the entire Sanhe Town, he is already mad, and he can't take the surrounding areas of Sanhe Town.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Su Qing waited for half a pillar of incense, and Fuxing came.
With an excited face, he suppressed his voice and said to Su Qing: "Master, Zhenguo Mansion, it's blown up." ”
Su Qing......
If he didn't know the specific arrangement, Su Qingzhen felt that Fuxing was like this, carrying a sack of explosives to the Zhenguo Mansion.
"Is there martial law in Fuchu?"
Fuxing nodded, "When the henchmen of Zhenguo saw the dead man, they immediately returned to the Duchess of Zhenguo and ordered martial law in the whole house. ”
As they spoke, the master and servant entered the palace.
When Su Qing arrived in the imperial study, Zhenguo was just in it to report the matter.
The waiter at the gate of the Su Qing Dynasty said politely: "I am tired of my father-in-law, my business is a little urgent, and I can't delay." ”
The little father-in-law answered, turned his head and went in, but after a while, he opened the door and invited Su Qing, "Princess, Your Majesty will let you in." ”
In the imperial study, the emperor had a solemn countenance.
Zhen Guogong glanced at Su Qing with a look of pity and sorrow, and saluted Su Qing, "Princess's Day mourning." ”
Su Qing......
He glanced at Zhen Guogong in surprise, and turned to look at the emperor, "Father, what's wrong?" ”
The emperor clenched his fists and said nothing, looking very sad.
Zhenguo looked at the emperor's expression and sighed deeply, "Just now, news came from Sanhe Town, a fierce plague was found in Sanhe Town, and His Royal Highness ...... Him."
The corners of Su Qing's eyes twitched, "Fierce plague? You mean, His Highness Nine is infected with the plague? ”
Zhen Guogong was heartbroken, "The princess mourns, this kind of thing happens, the minister is also very sad, but this plague is extremely contagious, for now, there is no effective drug treatment, if you don't stop the spread of the plague immediately, Sanhe Town is so close to Kyoto, I'm afraid it will be ......"
Su Qing looked at Zhen Guogong with a shocked expression, "Do you mean to kill all the people of Sanhe Town?" ”
Zhenguo Gong sighed heavily, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Historically, there has been no shortage of such examples.
In order to curb the spread of the plague and reduce the losses, the sick people were kept together and burned.
Biting his lip and his face gloomy, Su Qing looked at Zhen Guogong, "What are you going to do?" ”
Zhenguo said: "Plague is a disease, if it is not for fire, I am afraid it cannot be completely controlled." ”
"Even His Highness Nine burned it together?" Su Qing roared in a low voice, questioning loudly.
Zhenguo Gong wiped away his tears, "His Royal Highness the Ninth was raised by the ministers, and the ministers didn't want to, but the people of the world ......"
That kind of heart-wrenching blood is really incisive.
Su Qing turned his head to look at the emperor, "Father, the son thinks that it can't be burned." ”
"Is there a better way for the princess than to burn it? The minister knows that the princess cares about His Royal Highness the Nine, but he still hopes that the princess will focus on the overall situation! Zhen Guogong's voice is old and powerful.
"It's just that I focus on the overall situation, so I feel that Sanhe Town can't be burned!" Su Qing said very sincerely and seriously.
"Why?" Zhen Guogong asked.
