Chapter 351: Plague Rumors
As for the snow disaster in Lotus Village, Zhao Yujin has already reported it to the imperial court, Liang Luzhu can't help much, and when Zhao Yujin is giving porridge, she can always help every once in a while.
But the calm days didn't last long.
When he got up early that day, Liang Luzhu opened his shop and was about to go out to buy fat sausages, when he heard a burst of whispers from the street: The people of Lotus Village who fled were infected with the plague, and many people in the town made trouble in the yamen and asked Zhao Yujin to give justice.
After the great plague there will be a pestilence. A thought flashed in Liang Luzhu's heart, put down the basket, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the yamen.
When I arrived at the back door of the county office, I saw the leader standing at the bottom of the steps, shouting to the people at the bottom of the steps: "Today, we must force Lord Zhao to drive those refugees out, there is no good thing in this Lotus Village, it must be the bad luck they brought." As soon as they came, the old man of the Wu family got into trouble, you know, the old man Wu is a good man in our county, even for the sake of the old man, we have to drive out those refugees from Lotus Village. ”
As soon as he said this, the people below immediately responded: "But isn't it, Master Wu has done a lot of good things in the past, even if we offend Lord Zhao today, we have to ask Lord Zhao to drive those refugees out." ”
'Squeak', Zhao Yujin finally let the door open, and as soon as he stood up, a guy who claimed to be Wu's pharmacy took the lead in opening his mouth: "Lord Zhao, you have to give us an explanation today, those people must be burned to death, I have been in the pharmacy for so many years, and I have never known that the plague cannot be saved." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone sighed again.
The people in the crowd were all in awe of the Wu family pharmacy, and when they heard his words, they all talked about it, and people were panicked for a while.
Liang Luzhu's eyes darkened, listening to these people one by one, the Wu family, this was clearly trying to push the Wu family to the unrighteous land.
Whether this is man-made or coincidental is thought-provoking.
Seeing that it was about to make a fuss again, Wang Da hurriedly said under Zhao Yujin's instructions: "Everyone, listen, this plague is not a serious disease, Lord Zhao has already let people take strict care of it, and will definitely not let this plague spread, give Lord Zhao a little time, Lord Zhao will definitely be able to give everyone a satisfactory answer." ”
There was a sneering voice in his ears, and the person who claimed to be a guy from Wu's pharmacy spoke again: "That's a good word, when the time comes, we will all be infected with the plague, who will we settle accounts with, in the final analysis, Lord Zhao just wants to earn a performance for the court and joke with our lives." ”
As soon as the man spoke, the atmosphere that had just eased up immediately deteriorated, and in an instant, I saw a crowd of people, all running in the direction of Zhao Yujin.
Wang Da looked at the menacing crowd, a trace of solemnity flashed on his face, and he hurriedly pushed Zhao Yujin into the county yamen, just afraid that if he took another step at night, these people would hurt him.
But Zhao Yujin said that he didn't enter the yamen at all, although he was afraid in his heart, he also stood there steadily, motionless.
Liang Luzhu gasped, and only said that Zhao Yujin, a nerd, wants to play with his life, you know, these people really rushed up, and it is possible to step on him to death!
Biting his lip, Liang Luzhu's mind spun quickly, thinking that he could think slowly of letting Zhao Yujin avoid and avoid first, but he didn't expect that at this time, a mocking and cold voice came: "When did our Wu family have such a guy, I don't even know." ”
Everyone looked behind them at the same time, only to see a handsome man in a jujube red robe turn over and dismount, without a trace of hesitation, and walk straight in the direction of the county yamen.
Those with sharp eyes naturally recognized that the man was Wu Qi, the young proprietor of the Wu family, so the discussion was even louder than before.
Could it be that the Wu family also heard about the plague, and this is to trouble Zhao Yujin? If that's the case, then it's for the best.
They are just ordinary people, and they can't talk as well as the local squires.
So, everyone gave way and looked at Wu Qi eagerly.
"Young Master Wu, these refugees from Lotus Village have brought so much bad luck to your Wu family, you can't tolerate them." In the crowd, someone was the first to speak.
Wu Qi had already walked in front of Zhao Yujin at this time, and his evil gaze looked around the crowd below, and finally stopped on the body of the person who spoke.
"Bad luck, you see it, touch it? Something happened to our Wu family, it was mismanagement, what does it have to do with the lives of people in Lotus Village? If the Wu family really gave you such kindness, why would you fan the flames here and put the Wu family in an unrighteous place? Wu Qi opened his mouth coolly, and then swept his gaze to Zhao Yujin beside him, and said puzzledly: "Lord Zhao, but find out who is spreading the rumors of the plague outside, the prison of the county yamen is so empty, you don't know how to use it?" ”
Zhao Yujin was stunned, originally thought that Wu Qi was here to make trouble, but listening to the meaning of these words, he was not here to make trouble.
didn't have time to guess what Wu Qi's idea was, Zhao Yujin had already cooperated: "Wang Da, let people go down to investigate, and we must find out who is spreading rumors outside." ”
As soon as the person who claimed to be Wu Guy's plan heard this, his eyes quickly swept into the crowd, seeing that the anger that had just been aroused by him was about to subside soon, and hurriedly said: "Lord Zhao went to invite the doctor of Wu's pharmacy to see the disease, and the doctor came back and obviously said that it was a plague, Lord Zhao, Young Master Wu, don't joke with the lives of our people." ”
A sneer slipped through Wu Qi's mouth, looking at the extremely eyed face on the ground, and said faintly: "Lord Zhao, what are you still doing in a daze, the doctor of our Wu Pharmacy obviously diagnosed a wind cold, but this person said that it was a plague, and he pretended to be the Wu family's knowledge." ”
"Someone, arrest him and put him in prison and torture him severely." Zhao Yujin no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered, so the originally noisy crowd finally returned to calm, and the crowd dispersed for the most part.
The people who made a lot of noise before were only regretful in their hearts, and they only blamed them for listening to the words of those with ulterior motives, and almost offended both the Wu family and Lord Zhao.
"Master, please come over." Wu Eighteen's voice sounded in his ears at the right time, Liang Luzhu was excited, just now he saw Wu Qi and Zhao Yujin enter the county yamen, but he didn't see when Wu Eighteen flashed to him.
In this way, Wu Qi saw her.
"Young lady?" Wu Shibai saw that Liang Luzhu was stunned and didn't understand, so he couldn't help but remind. The voice wasn't very respectful, but it wasn't as detached as it used to be.
Liang Luzhu glanced at Wu Shibai strangely, and strode towards the yamen.
It just so happened that she wanted to see what was going on. Wu Shibai followed behind her, and as soon as she entered the house, she heard Wu Qi's yin and yang strange voice coming: "I've watched the excitement for so long, but I never thought of saying a word for my husband's family?" ”
Liang Luzhu turned around and glared at him, only to feel that this person was stunned, he had been acting for a few days, and he was still serious?
What she didn't know was that Wu Qigang was nervous when he saw her in the crowd.
"Seven leaves and one flower, as long as you find seven leaves and one flower, I think this disease will be cured." Liang Luzhu originally wanted to squeeze Wu Qi, but he didn't expect that Wu Qi suddenly opened his mouth to Zhao Yujin.
"Okay, let's find it together." Zhao Yujin did not hesitate, although he had 10,000 reasons not to trust Wu Qi, but at the moment, he could only believe him once.
Before Liang Luzhu could figure out what was going on, she saw a woman with a white cloth covering her mouth and nose coming over with a six or seven-year-old child covering her mouth and nose in her arms.
It was indescribably weird.
As soon as she approached, the woman knelt on the ground with a bang: "Lord Zhao, thank you." Young Master Wu, thank you. ”
She stood in the house and heard everything, after her child was sick, everyone stayed away from her, only Lord Zhao and the eldest young master of the Wu family were willing to help her.
Between kneeling and worshipping, the child's clothes hidden in the bun fell to the ground, the bun has been put for some time, the bun skin looks very dry, as if it has been stored for several days, the loss of the sun is not big, so it has not rotted.
When the woman saw this, she couldn't help but cry again: "This is his favorite food, and he can't eat it anymore." ”
Zhao Yujin frowned, seeing this scene, she couldn't say a word, but Wu Qi asked her to take the woman back to rest.
The woman didn't stop, turned around and followed the person, Liang Luzhu saw this scene, and was puzzled, and was about to speak, but Wu Qi dragged her out.
Liang Luzhu felt that Wu Qi's guy was simply getting thicker, and now that he made such a move, his face was not red or panting, as if he had long forgotten that they were not the right existence.
"You let me go." raised his leg and was about to kick Wu Qi's body, but he didn't expect Wu Qi's calloused hands to stretch out coldly, and grabbed her ankles straight to the brim, and for a while, the two looked at each other.
Liang Luzhu's face was suddenly irritable and angry, and Zhao Yujin's dry cough came from behind him, and then, Wu Qi let go of his ankle and opened his mouth in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I saved your life in the snow pit last time, and that's how you repaid the favor." ”
Liang Luzhu snorted angrily and funny, looking at his handsome and unparalleled cheeks, for no reason, and there was a hatred in his heart.
"You don't remember what I helped you!"
Wu Qizai thought about it carefully and sneered: "Is there one? If there is, it is also helping Wu Xiuyuan. But the last time you came to my house indiscriminately and scolded me, it was really chilling. ”
It was better for him not to mention it, but when he mentioned it, Liang Luzhu's whole face turned green by three points.
