Chapter 163: The Corpse Pit
That said, but Jiangxi knew that it was impossible to change the village back to its original state, and the dead would never come back.
"Sister-in-law, do you know how the plague broke out here? I remember that when we were in the upper county town, we wrote a letter to the county magistrate here, asking them to put up a notice telling everyone not to eat the fish and shrimp in this river, and it is best not to use the water in this river, so as to avoid the occurrence of plague. ”
The plague definitely didn't break out for no reason, there must be an introduction. As long as she did the things she said above, it stands to reason that there would be no outbreak of the plague.
"What notice? We don't know, huh? The young daughter-in-law looked dazed, and then she ran to the village and asked around, her expression even more puzzled.
When Jiang Xi saw this, he immediately understood that the county order of this county was really too bastard, and he didn't even tell everyone such important news.
"This big brother," she called out to one of Lord Song's men, "can you do me a favor." ”
"Miss Jiang, please speak." Lord Song's subordinates had just witnessed Jiang Xi's ability, plus Jiang Xi could cure the plague and had such a good relationship with his third son, they didn't dare to offend easily.
"That's right, see if you can help me invite one or two of the officials who work in Yangshui County to come over, I have something I want to ask them. It's important, and the sooner the better. ”
"Okay, Miss Jiang wait, I'll go and call someone for you."
Because they were all under the hands of Lord Song, and the county order of Yangshui County had gone too far before, the officers in the county government were all arranged to do rough work.
Jiang Xi waited for less than a quarter of an hour before he saw the guard coming over with two servants.
"Miss Jiang, just ask, I'll take them away when it's over."
Jiang Xi nodded and smiled slightly, "It's hard work." ”
The two yacha who were brought over looked at each other, and they were a little nervous, not knowing what this little girl was going to ask them. The people around Lord Song made them timid.
"Don't be nervous, sit down." There was a layer of grass here, and Jiangxi sat on the ground, and when she saw that she was a little girl, she didn't dislike it, and the two yacha didn't refuse well, so they sat down next to her.
At this moment, the young daughter-in-law just burned her fire, and did not dare to say a word, but pricked up her ears and listened. At the same time, she was a little curious about Jiangxi's identity, and wondered what kind of background people would make those invincible yacha so respectful to her.
"I called you here to ask you a question. The county magistrate of the upper county seat before once wrote a letter to your county magistrate, and he can also order someone to hand it over to your county magistrate. The letter specifically stated the precautions against the plague, and I asked the villagers here again, did you not post the notice as the letter said? ”
The faces of the two yacha changed, and the county magistrate would be in a hurry to flee in the morning, just for this matter.
Seeing that their expressions were different, Jiang Xi became more and more sure of the guess in his heart.
"Just tell the truth, Lord Song won't blame you."
The officials glanced at each other, the county magistrates had all run away, and it was useless for them to hide it for him, and maybe they would be condemned for it, so it was better to just say it.
Nodding to each other, one of the yacha said to Jiang Xi: "Miss Jiang, the letter was indeed received by our county order, but he never opened it, or this morning, the plague broke out out of control, and our county order lord saw this letter, and it was too late to post the notice." ”
Sure enough, Jiang Xi's eyes flashed, this matter must be told to Lord Song later, and by the way, let him issue another order, so that the county towns along the river can pay attention to it, and there can be no more plague land in this area.
After a while, Lord Song and Song San came back. The faces of the two were tense and ugly, and the scene in the big pit just now really shocked them.
In that huge pit, there were about three or four hundred people buried, all of them were corpses, and some of them were sick because of their serious condition, and thick water flowed from the corpses, which made people disgusting and disgusting.
Fortunately, both of them are people who have experienced things and are quite calm.
As soon as they returned, Jiang Xi came near and told them what he had just heard. After listening to Jiang Xi's words, Lord Song immediately ordered someone to issue an order and send it to all counties, and such a thing really couldn't happen again.
Immediately afterwards, Lord Song ordered someone to light a fire with wormwood and burn the corpses in those pits to avoid any further accidents.
At the same time, Lord Song asked people to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, ready to report the matter to the imperial court, waiting for the disposal from above.
"Also, what happened to the bounty order issued in the morning!" Lord Song shouted at his subordinates and asked, the county order has only escaped from the door for a short time, and it should not be able to run far, if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to find.
If the county order really can't be found, even if the Song family completes this matter, and then reports the matter of the horseshoe, at most it will only be a general atonement, and if the county order is not found, their Song family will not be at peace for a day.
Several subordinates looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Back to the adult, the subordinates have already sent out the sea fishing documents, but now it has only been half a day, and it is really not easy to find someone."
"That's it, let's take care of this side first." The plague is the focus now.
……
"Master, I think we'll change carriages here, this county is also some distance away from us, we have been in a hurry for almost a day, and we can't stand it."
At this time, at the gate of the county where Master Li was located, Jiang Chengze was sitting in a simple carriage, taking his wife Hong and his concubine Hua Rui to look at the city gate.
"Don't worry, be careful."
He has been an official for almost two years, and he is used to being cautious, worried that now Lord Song has ordered someone to arrest him.
"Be careful, if we go any further, our lives will be lost."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the gate of the city, as if there was no notice posted yet, and no one was searching the city, so it should be that the news over there had not yet arrived.
As soon as he was ruthless, he let the carriage in.
On the side of the city gate, there was no obstruction, and they were allowed to run in smoothly.
As soon as their carriage entered the city, and before they had yet to turn the corner, they heard the sound of galloping horses behind them.
"Spread the order of Lord Song, the whole city will arrest the criminals, close the city gate for me, and no one can wait for them to enter and exit again!"
"Quick, hurry up and drive!" Jiang Cheng scolded the groom who was driving in front of him, and the horse's speed suddenly accelerated.
The herald's eyes froze at a glance.
"Stop that carriage!"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was frightened and threw a silver ingot to the coachman.
"Get the carriage down the alley!"
Because it was on the street, the horses under Lord Song didn't dare to ride too fast, for fear of disturbing people.
And here, Jiang Cheng didn't care about this, and swaggered into it, but the crowd automatically opened the way for him, and thus blocked the horses behind.
"Get out of the way!" Sitting on a tall horse, Lord Song's subordinates scolded.
Some got out of the way, but others stuck in the middle of the road. They had seen these two people before, they knew that they were the people under Lord Song, and they also knew that Lord Song valued the people, and he would definitely not let his subordinates trample on people at will, so they seemed to be fearless at this time.
"It's great to be an official, it's great to ride a horse, I just won't let you do anything. None of them take us ordinary people seriously. Oh, this is only for you horseback riders, we can't go yet. I don't believe it, I won't let you trample me here today. ”
"You Diaomin!" Raising the horsewhip in his hand, the man shrank in fright, seeing that he didn't dare to really fight, he continued to show a smug smile, showing off his might.
"Get out of the way!" Suddenly, a queue ran over behind him, it was the soldiers in the county office, "What's going on!" ”
To open his mouth is to scold, obviously to those who stand in his way.
He hugged his fist at Lord Song's hand and said: "Two adults, please rest assured, but anyone who hinders you from arresting wanted criminals will be regarded as accomplices, our yamen is still empty now, and the northern frontier is still barren, and it needs someone to fill in!" ”
"Well, today we remember." As soon as he raised his hand and whipped his horse, the horse suddenly flew fast, and those who stood in the way quickly dispersed, and they did not dare to get carried away again.
"Yo, Liu Er, I thought it was who dared to obstruct Lord Song in the provincial capital from handling the case, I think you have ten heads, and it's not enough to cut off. Come on, escort him back to me, I want to see who else dares to be lawless! ”
And he said this to all men.
No matter how hard Liu Lao Er struggled, he couldn't get rid of the fate of going to the county government to be beaten and eaten in prison for several days.
Besides, Jiang Cheng and their side, with the obstruction of Liu Lao Er and others, they got off the carriage at the entrance of an alley, and the three of them slipped away quickly, and when Lord Song's men arrived, they only saw an empty carriage and a coachman who didn't know anything about it.
finally got a clue, which made people run away again, and finally after checking several restaurants and inns, they had to stop and take the coachman to the county office.
"I ask you, who is the person sitting in the car!"
The coachman begged for mercy: "My lord, I really don't know anything?" I'm just a man who does things with other people's money, please, sir, let me go, I still have ...... at home."
"Shut up! Let me ask you, is he the one who sat in the car just now? "I took a portrait and asked the painters in the city to draw it, and if it weren't for that, they wouldn't have wasted time, and they had only now sent out the sea fishing papers.
When the coachman saw it, he immediately said, "Yes, yes, it's him, and he also brought two women, and the three of them together." ”
