Bai Ze was investigating the source of the plague, and this time he sent back the news, thinking that there was already a clue.

"What does the message say?"

Jun Nanli asked coldly.

"According to Dr. Bai Baize, the patients infected with the plague were infected by drinking the water from the wells over there, and the others did not happen to drink the well water without any problems, so Dr. Bai Ze suspected that there was something wrong with several wells in the civilian area. ”

Hearing the news, Jun Nanli frowned suddenly, what he was most worried about and most afraid of still happened, this plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, someone deliberately poisoned it, just to frame the blame.

"Prepare the carriage and horses, and I will rush to the civilian area immediately. ”

Just after thinking about it for a while, Jun Nan Li decided to continue to return to his post, now the matter is a bit big, he can't tell the truth about his corpse, since they did something poisonous, it is not impossible to continue to participate in his own books.

After listening to this, Yubai didn't ask anything else, he just went down to prepare, he thought that he would talk less and do more, because he knew that he was far inferior to his master in terms of wisdom, and he just needed to do what his master ordered.

"Xiaohua, we are going to the place where the plague is most severe, are you afraid?"

After Yubai went out, Jun Nan Quercus regained his gentleness, turned his head and asked Xiaohua with a smile.

"I'm not afraid, I'm a fox fairy, how can my body be as delicate as you humans. ”

Hua Rui said arrogantly, and her little head was also raised high, as if to say that I am different from you humans.

It's just that the stamen in her heart is beating a small drum, whether she can resist the plague, in fact, the stamen herself has no score, if she is in good condition, it is needless to say, but now this vitality is badly injured, basically not much different from ordinary people.

However, Jun Nan Oak couldn't read Hua Rui's thoughts at this time, after all, he didn't have the ability to see through people's hearts, and he guessed that Hua Rui's idea was only implemented according to the plan, so he thought that what Hua Rui said was true.

The carriage was soon ready, at the main gate of the National Teacher's Mansion, at this time, after the riot of the crowd in the morning, the main gate had not been repaired, so it looked a little tattered, but it was guarded by no idlers who could enter.

After getting into the carriage, the carriage entered the main road and soon headed for the downtown area on the edge of Kyoto, where Shirasawa was located and where the water source of the neighborhood was.

After leaving the avenue and entering the alley, the noise of the street soon changed its appearance, and the wailing outside the carriage was incessant, some of them were hoarse and could only continue to squeak like rags, and some of them had just been infected with the plague, so the wailing resounded through the streets.

And it was at this time that Hua Rui felt the real existence of the plague, and it was no longer a matter of looking around when passing by the avenue.

Through the car window, I saw people lying on the ground outside, all with painful expressions, some of them were still scratching their bodies and even scratching blood, while others were almost silent, lying stiffly on the side, still bumped by others and did not react.

"The plague is terrible!"

After looking at it for a while, Hua Rui couldn't stand it, and it was the first time she had seen such a tragic scene.

In the past, when I was cultivating on the mountain, I occasionally went down the mountain to the bustling town at the foot of Huashan Mountain, because of the protection of the beautiful master, so the town under the mountain has always lived quietly and peacefully, and there are no major disasters, let alone any plague.

"The plague is indeed terrible, the real plague infected people can be cured and survived, and the current plague is not a real plague, so the severity is far inferior, but it is already so terrifying. ”

Jun Nan Oak saw Xiaohua's expression, and also sighed.

As a national teacher, it is not uncommon for him to encounter plagues from the national conditions reported by various places, so he knows the mechanism of the plague and the principle of its spread, and at the same time, he also understands the true power of the plague, and the horror of not a single household in ten miles after it spreads.

"It's just that compared with the plague, what is more terrible is the human heart, just for their own selfishness, they don't care about the lives of the people. ”

Jun Nan Li couldn't help but say again, this time it is obviously a sign of man-made, just for the sake of revenge, it is to use the people as tools, regardless of the lives of others, this kind of poisonous scorpion heart, it is really much more terrible than the plague.

Hua Rui listened to Jun Nanqi's words, but she didn't particularly understand, because the life she experienced was too short after all, so she didn't know the power of people's hearts.

At the same time, because I didn't investigate the plague with Junnanqi before, I didn't know that this time the plague was actually very likely to be caused, so I was ignorant of Junnanque's words.

However, Jun Nan Oak didn't fully understand Hua Rui, he just couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as for Hua Rui, it was better to maintain her innocence and innocence, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see the lively little fox in the future.

Thinking of this, Jun Nan Oak put his hand on the head of the stamen, touched the head of the stamen, smiled softly, and did not continue to speak.

Soon the carriage reached Bai Ze's location.

When I got out of the carriage, I saw a huge well, which was enclosed with stone bricks and became an octagonal edge to prevent people from accidentally falling down when drawing water, and on the edge of the well were wooden barrels, all wound with ropes, and on them were already green moss, which looked like they had been used for years.

And Bai Ze was on the edge of the wellhead at this time, holding a wooden scoop in one hand, which was filled with half a scoop of water, and Bai Ze was shaking the melon scoop with his hand to watch the changes in the water inside.

Next to Bai Ze were several officials holding pen and ink, staring at Bai Ze's movements, while recording Bai Ze's words, these are important research materials, which will still be used later.

Outside, there were more than a dozen civilians, who generally seemed to be still in good health, and generally showed signs of infection, but the symptoms were relatively mild, and they were obviously people who had just drunk the well water.

Jun Nan Oak and Hua Rui just got off the carriage, and they were stared at by everyone, after all, there was no one else who would come here at this point in time except for the person in charge of the investigation, you must know that the plague mortality rate is so high, the world can't hide when they hear it, how can they drill into it.

Jun Nanli didn't care about other eyes, but asked directly.

"Bai Ze, is this where the plague spread?"
