Chapter 162: Frightened Villagers

When they arrived in town, they found that things were far more serious than they had imagined.

The people of this town are almost dying, only some old and weak women and children who have not gone out much are still there, and at this moment there are about a hundred or so people, who are hiding in the woods outside the town, looking at this side with fearful eyes.

Seeing these people, no matter who they were, the softness in my heart was hit hard.

"That Yangshui County Order! When I get him back, I'm sure he's going to look good! Lord Song was furious.

Jiang Xi glanced over there, and when he withdrew his eyes, he saw that the corners of Song San's mouth were also slightly pursed, obviously he was also angry.

Lord Song dismounted and led the two people slowly towards the frightened old and weak women and children.

"Hello everyone, you don't have to worry, I am an inspector from the provincial capital, surnamed Song. I came here to deal with the plague that broke out here. Everyone must believe in me and the imperial court, and we will definitely solve the problem as soon as possible. At the same time, we have also prepared a special place for you to rest, don't be afraid, just follow us. ”

His gentle tone, coupled with the majesty of being an official for a long time, many people believed his words, but they were still a little hesitant in their hearts and did not dare to take a step.

At this moment, a small old man in the crowd jumped out.

"Don't believe them, these officials are all embarrassed, officials protect each other, he will definitely let us die, don't believe his nonsense!"

The crowd, which was already a little loose, suddenly changed their faces when they heard this, and they took two steps back, their faces collapsed tightly, and their eyes changed to a vigilant look.

Seeing this, several of Lord Song's subordinates were furious.

"Where did you come from to dare to slander our family!" They impulsively stepped forward to tie up the troublesome little old man.

The little old man was startled, and hurriedly ducked behind, the vigilance and vigilance on his face even stronger.

"You fish and meat townsfolk officials, we won't believe it! It's a big deal to let this plague spread, even if we die, we will bring you to the funeral! ”

"Yes, I'll bring you to the funeral!"

In the crowd, I don't know if they were angered by his words, or if the actions of Lord Song's subordinates just now made them afraid, and they all shouted at the moment, wanting to let Lord Song and Jiang Xi and their group be buried together.

"You people!" Lord Song's subordinates were even more angry, and their steps quickened, and they were about to make a move on that person.

"Wait!" Lord Song immediately scolded, "You all retreat!" ”

It can be seen that these villagers are all frightened here, and it is very likely that it was caused by the previous county order, if they are not appeased now, and there is really a disturbance here, they will not be able to control it.

Now that the plague is so bad, it doesn't matter if something happens to a few of them here, the key point is that no one will take over here.

Once the plague continues to spread, even the people here and the next few counties will be infected, which will simply shake the national capital of the entire Daliang.

You must know that their province is a large grain producer, and the beams transported out of the provincial capital every year account for one-fifth of the annual grain of the entire Liang. If something happens here, it will be difficult for the entire girder to operate.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, don't be impatient. We are here this time to solve the problem, not to cause trouble to everyone, and please believe in me and the imperial court. ”

"Big guy, don't be deceived by him, how our family died, it's all because of these officials, we must not listen to them, even if we die, we have to pull them up!"

The little old man continued to coax in the crowd, and everyone's faces became even more grim, obviously no longer having the slightest trust in Lord Song's side.

Even Lord Song couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, who was that little old man, could it be that he was still a meticulous work sent by other countries, in order to shake the national foundation of their beams?

Immediately, Lord Song quickly shook off this thought. There is a country where Xizuo would go to a poor country to hide his identity to carry out such a big thing, and besides, he only heard about the outbreak of the plague here this morning, and the imperial court should not know this news now, how could Xizuo inquire about it.

Jiang Xi stood beside her, her eyesight had always been very good, and when she saw the two lines of tears in the corners of the little old man's eyes, she knew why the old man said these words after a little thought.

"Everyone! This is really Lord Song from the provincial capital, he is different from the original county order here, and everyone should know about the county seat where the flood occurred before. Lord Song has already managed the flood, and at the same time, he has also controlled the plague in the county. We came here this time to get rid of the plague here, and the medicinal materials are ready, so please don't resist too much.

Not only that, as soon as the county magistrate of Yangshui County heard that our Lord Song was coming, he was so frightened that he ran away, and now he is already on the run. Our Lord Song has always been a good official who asks for the people's life, and now in addition to controlling the plague, he also plans to collect evidence of the corrupt official, if you have any knowledge, please report it one by one, so that the hateful corrupt official will be punished! ”

Jiang Xi's words continued, and the crowd became turbulent, and they all chattered, and the crowd seemed to be divided into two parts.

Some of them believed in Jiangxi's dialect, and the other was led by the little old man, who was still skeptical.

"This little girl, are you telling the truth?" The little old man seemed to be under pressure from everyone, and spoke at her with a suppressed voice.

Seeing this, even Lord Song became excited, and the old man's mouth was loosening, at least it was a hope. He looked at Jiang Xi encouragingly and told her to continue.

Jiang Xi did not pretentiously shirk, controlling the plague is equivalent to fighting for the old man's life, time is too important.

"It's true, if you don't believe me, I can swear to God. If there is a mistake in what I Jiangxi said, let me die in this Yangshui County, and I will never be able to go out again, and I will be buried with those who have died! ”

"Jiangxi, you!" Song San looked at her in shock, originally this matter had nothing to do with her, he not only swept her in, but also made her swear such a heavy poisonous oath.

Jiang Xi turned around and smiled at Song San: "What I said is true anyway, God can't punish me." ”

What Jiang Xi didn't know was that her retrospective gaze this time completely left an imprint in Song San's heart, a brand that could never be erased. Even when he gets old in the future, he always thinks of her bright appearance at the moment.

Maybe the villagers didn't want to wait with suspicion anymore, or maybe they believed Jiang Xi's words, anyway, after she swore a poisonous oath, the big guys all took off that thick layer of defense, and under the leadership of the little old man, they walked slowly towards this side.

"Girl, we believe what you say. If it's really fake, then we'll admit it. ”

The people agreed, and things were done. In order to control the plague here, the survivors must first be evacuated. Just now, another part of Lord Song's subordinates had already ordered someone to set up a wooden shed not far away.

"Everyone come with me, don't mess around, then set up a wooden shed, you can go and rest first." At noon, we will provide food and medicine to everyone. ”

Under the leadership of Lord Song, the villagers went to the wooden shed one by one to rest, and they were temporarily stable.

Lord Song wiped the thin sweat from his forehead and glanced at Jiang Xi gratefully.

"It's really thanks to you today, I have to ask you for the medicine later, Yi'er and I have to go and see those who died in person."

Jiang Xi nodded, knowing that Lord Song was also thinking about her, afraid that she would go to see the mountain of corpses.

After the villagers told them, they found the big pit in the village, where it is said that people who had contracted the plague were buried.

Jiangxi didn't see the big pit, and at the moment she was boiling soup medicine outside the wooden shed. The medicinal materials were all arranged by her according to the proportion, because these were in close contact with patients with the plague, so Jiangxi's medicine was also aggravated.

"Girl, I'll come and help you." A young daughter-in-law, who was about 20 years old, came over and helped Jiang Xi burn firewood into the stove, and Jiang Xi only used to stir the decoction, which was a lot easier all of a sudden.

"Thank you, sisters-in-law." Jiang Xi smiled at the young daughter-in-law.

"Thank you, we should thank you. Just now, we misunderstood you, and we thought that you were just like the corrupt official who killed us, so I'm really embarrassed. The young daughter-in-law looked apologetic.

"Just now, don't take what my father-in-law said, don't take it to heart, his old man is also too anxious, worried that we will be pushed into that big pit by that black-hearted county order again."

Jiang Xi frowned slightly, this person was actually the daughter-in-law of the little old man, and the matter of pushing into the big pit that she mentioned in her mouth seemed to be a bit serious.

"Sister-in-law, can you tell me what is going on with the one who pushed into the big pit?"

When the young daughter-in-law heard this, tears fell from her eyes, and she tried her best to control it, and sighed slightly before saying: "There was an outbreak of plague on our side before, and the mayor of the town went to report to the county order overnight, begging him to send someone to come to the rescue, but we waited all night without waiting for anyone to come.

The next morning, when someone finally came, the officials said that they had been ordered by the county order to bury all the people in our village in a big pit, and even our mother-in-law, who was not sick, and my two-year-old child, were taken away and suffocated there.

Fortunately, I was mowing grass at the foot of the mountain, and my father-in-law went to the mountains and said that he would dig some herbs and come back to see if he could cure the disease, so they did not bury him in the big pit.

When we came back, we saw that many of the people in the village were gone, and finally we all drove them away, and after only half a day, you came again.

The big guy is really scared, I don't know that you are good people, so I will offend you, you must not be angry with us! The young daughter-in-law suddenly bowed heavily towards the river.

"Sister-in-law, don't do this." Jiang Xi helped her up, "That county order should indeed be killed, but there are good and bad officials in this world, we will definitely control the epidemic and let the village return to its original appearance." ”
