Chapter 24: The Snake Guard

Lu Manman already knew the names of these scholars before putting away the "deed of sale", but he didn't expect that people were a little stupid and a little pedantic, and the names looked particularly clever one by one, the most stupid one was eighteen-year-old Song Yanzhi, the most stable one was called Yufeng Ying, who was twenty-four years old, and the other two were called Ji Menghai, twenty-three years old, one was Shen Qianshan, twenty years old, and Xiuyuan was the youngest of them, seventeen years old.

Lu Manman is now asking about the situation of these people little by little, there is no need to ask, after all, Pingshui has just met, and now he must know who owes him money, who is the name and where.

Each of them is a famous young man in his hometown, if he can drill a little camp, these people must be more beautiful than that Baoju people, after all, the character is very good, and the people are real, but unfortunately they are also suffering from the real character, one by one stupid, they actually refused very harshly to send money to their people, and they wanted to be clean officials, completely ignoring how hard the family behind them was to support them, and the family members were not allowed to take money.

Fortunately, these people are not diligent and industrious, although others are not allowed to send money, but they still know how to be self-reliant, and make a living by copying books to reduce the burden on the family, so they are obviously all famous young people, but they are not treated well, they are not social at all, and no one takes the initiative to marry their daughters, and I don't know how these people got together.

Lu Manman muttered in his heart: Others being officials are harming the people, the rich are on the one side, you are being an official and harming your own family, and idiots are willing to marry you and invest in you.

Lu Manman suddenly felt a little sorry for her gold, according to the stubbornness of these people who do not take a penny of ill-gotten gains, these five people combined, I am afraid that they will not be able to recover the 10,000 gold on the day they die, do they really want to leave this money to future generations? Thinking that his gold is going to be left to his unscrupulous descendants who don't even have a shadow now, the road is long, and the whole person is not good.

In order to recover this money as soon as possible, Lu Manman decided to reform the minds of these nerds, so that they could take the money they should take, so that they could get together and repay their own money as soon as possible.

A few people didn't know that Lu Manman had already made up for the fact that they couldn't afford to pay back and planned to cut off their hands, and sure enough, when they met a scholar, they really wanted to make a fortune.

---- Yunyang Mansion -----

Liu Xin'er rushed over directly in a wedding dress, and Governor Chen said directly: "Where did you get this news, is it reliable?" ”

"Reliable, it's from Miss Lu."

The master arrived earlier than Liu Xin'er, and when he knew about this matter, he was still fantasizing that it was misinformation, but when he heard Liu Xin'er say that it was the news that Lu Manlong had come back, he didn't even have the last trace of luck in his heart.

No one asked why Liu Xin'er got the message from Lu Manman, and they all tacitly avoided the topic of Lu Manman.

"The outbreak of the epidemic is not a trivial matter, now immediately send people to close the city, can enter or not exit, everyone must mobilize, door-to-door investigation, everything is isolated, there can be no negligence, otherwise Yunyang will become a dead city, we are waiting for death and it is difficult to atone, immediately fly the pigeon legend to the nearest few towns, the people who have left in the past few days will not go too far, let the nearest towns all be alert, master, immediately send a letter to the family, let the people of the family send people to send medicine and wine, Yunyang is the only way to go to the capital, It's too important, and you can't lose anything in the hands of your own officials, otherwise it will be difficult for your family to get out of it. ”

"Guard Lin, you take someone to find out which village is spreading the epidemic, and if all the people in that village are gone, burn the village immediately."

"Yes, my lord, I'll do it right away."

After Governor Chen's order, he felt as if he was about to collapse, if something really happened to Yunyang, his career would come to an end, fortunately, Lu Long gave them a message before the epidemic broke out, so that he had enough time to arrange, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

In order to thank Liu Xin'er for the news, Governor Chen bought the grain and wine in the name of the Liu family in full at a price higher than the market price.

Escort Lin led the guards brought out of his home by Governor Chen's mansion and scattered to find the village where the epidemic was plagued, each wearing a mask and flare, and notifying others if they found it.

Soon one of the guards found that the village he was investigating was quiet, not only did there not have a trace of light, not even a sound, the guard hurriedly took out the warm wine he brought with him and poured it on himself, before entering the village, only to find that there was a stench in the air, the guard was so frightened that he quickly withdrew from the village chief, and hurriedly ran for a long distance before he reacted and fired a signal flare.

It didn't take long for Guard Lin to come with people, each holding a torch in his hand, lighting up the originally dark entrance of the village, seeing the guard who had a signal flare, a little frightened, Guard Lin also chuckled in his heart: I'm afraid it's really the worst outcome.

Lin Huwei sent a person back to inform the Chen Governor's Mansion and asked the Chen Governor's Mansion to find the nearest garrison, the outbreak of the epidemic is not enough to rely on them, and the burning of the village must also notify the nearby commander in charge of the soldiers and horses, otherwise he will be punished for treason.

Guard Lin opened his mouth and said to the people behind him: "You go into the village with me to see if there is any living mouth." After saying that, he poured all the warm wine on his head, and wrapped his exposed hands tightly with a cloth, and the group went in with torches to check.

The first people in the village to die have already stinked, and they have been dead for at least two days, and many of the rest are probably also dying one after another in the past two days, and none of the dozen or so families that Lin Guard checked are alive.

Suddenly, from the deepest part of the village came the shouts of a guard: "Chief, there is still one person alive here." ”

The rest of the people checked and there was no living mouth, so they were surprised to hear that there was still a living mouth, and hurriedly ran over to check.

The torches lit up the whole room, and if it weren't for the person in front of him still blinking, I believe no one would think that this person was still alive, but this person didn't seem to live long, and he looked like he was going to die at any time.

The guards carried the man out of the house, only to find that the man's leg had already been broken, the wound had pus, and his lips were chapped, lying alone in the cramped wood room.

The man looked at Guard Lin with a pleading face, and made a faint voice in his mouth, but unfortunately the voice was too small to hear what the man said, but Guard Lin still spoke: "I am the prefect's guard, and I was ordered to check the situation in this village, and now you are the only one living in the whole village, but you can rest assured, the adults will definitely send a doctor to treat you, and you have to hold on." ”

When he heard that the entire village was dead, the man's eyes suddenly turned gray, and his face was obviously full of life, the man shook his head, used all his strength, raised his finger and pointed to his shoulder, and looked at Lin Huwei with a longing expression.

Guard Lin hurriedly checked the position pointed by the man, tore off his clothes, and saw a tattoo of a snake's head on the man's shoulder, Guard Lin gasped: "Teng Snake Guard!" ”

Teng Snake Guard is a secret agency in charge of intelligence in Haoyue Country, and the people in it are all experienced in a hundred battles, as long as Teng Snake Wei wants to investigate, there is nothing that cannot be found, but of course Teng Snake Guard is not used to investigate those gossip, what needs Teng Snake Wei to investigate are some shocking cases.

Now they are in a village that has been destroyed by the epidemic, and they have found Teng Snake Guard, Lin Guard feels that the sky is about to fall, and a terrible case is probably about to surface, fortunately, it will not die in the realm of their Yunyang, if this Teng Snake Guard dies here, I am afraid that even Governor Chen will have to lose his skin.

Guard Lin didn't have time to think about anything else, so he let the man in front of him leave, but the man still shook his head and glanced at the firewood room, Guard Lin hurriedly entered the firewood room to check, but he didn't see anything, only a bloody cloth that had turned black and smelly, and when Guard Lin came out, the man had already fainted.

After arranging a few people to guard the entrance of this village, Guard Lin personally led people to take the seriously injured and unconscious man to the sentry post not far from the city gate, and did not bring the man in, and soon Governor Chen appeared at the sentry post with people.

Whether it was Governor Chen or Master, they all felt that the head on their necks was about to be saved.

The best doctor in Yunyang City was dragged over by Governor Chen's mansion overnight, and the old doctor was at least sixty years old, so he was not so afraid in the face of an outbreak of the epidemic, it was better for him to go out than to let his children and grandchildren go out, even if he was really unfortunate enough to be infected, it was better than a young man to be infected.

The old doctor's surname is Liu, and he is the shopkeeper of Xinglintang, and his medical skills and ethics are very good.

Seeing the Teng Snake Guard man, who was almost no different from the dead, his heart fell down, and after Dr. Liu checked the man's pulse, he shook his head and said in embarrassment: "This strong man has a very serious injury, and he has been poisoned, and he has not eaten for several days, and he is dying, if it weren't for his own good health, I'm afraid he would have been unable to bear it a long time ago." ”

Governor Chen was already prepared, so he was not disappointed, but he still said to Doctor Liu: "I don't know if I can make this strong man wake up, this official has something to ask." ”

"Yes, wait for the old man to give him a few stitches, but once the needles are removed, this strong man will die immediately, can you think about it?"

Governor Chen took a deep breath, if he agreed to prick the needle, then even if he killed this Teng Snake Guard, he could let it go, although he was seriously injured and died, but he didn't know anything, he was too passive, in case there was really some earth-shattering case involving Yunyang, he was still in a catastrophe, so he could only gamble and strive to be guilty of meritorious service.
