Shen Ninghua personally saw some seriously ill victims, prescribed medicine and watched them drink it, and only breathed a sigh of relief after checking the pulse, although the symptoms were slightly serious, fortunately, because of late autumn, the weather was not too hot, and if you were careful, you could completely control it, and after surviving this while, it would be much easier.

After a busy day, Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi returned to their residence to rest, the two children seemed to know the hard work of their parents, so they only played quietly beside the two for a while, and then obediently were hugged down to rest.

Hongling sorted out the news reported by the people below and sent it to Shen Ninghua:

"Miss, the slave maid has sent someone to inquire, some time ago, many victims were forced to leave from here and ask for help from the surrounding places, but because the surrounding towns are relatively far away, they are all very poor, and there are not many people who have really been rescued."

"We're too late," Shen Ninghua sighed slightly and looked at Baili Junyi, "Junyi, have you investigated something about the Zhou family?"

"In Zhoucheng, almost everyone is silent about the affairs of the Zhou family, however, some problems can also be seen from their attitude, the Zhou family has the absolute right to speak in Zhoucheng, Ninghua, you must not be alone these days, you must not go in and out with Qingque or Hongling."

"Well, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

The two were tired all day, and they fell asleep in each other's arms not long after washing.

In the middle of the night, there was a sharp knock on the door.

Baili Junyi opened his eyes, there was not the slightest hint of worry in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice with a frown: "Who, what's the matter?" ”

Qingque's words were hurried: "Lord Wang, slave Qingque, something happened to the victims of Zhoucheng, and the people wanted to drive the victims away, but now the trouble has started, many people have been injured, and even the city gate has been opened from the inside, and many people have been driven out." ”

Baili Junyi got up neatly, put on his clothes and was about to walk out. Shen Ninghua also came to her senses and hurriedly got up and dressed.

Baili Junyi took the sword and commanded in a cold voice: "Qingque comes in, you follow the princess, be sure to protect her safety." ”

"Yes."

Shen Ninghua pondered for a moment, opened the jewelry box, carefully took out two hostas and brought them, and asked Qingque to bring the medicine box over, and the two of them quickly walked towards the city gate.

The city gate was lit up by torches, the porridge shacks on both sides of the street had been torn down, the pots and bowls were messily shattered, and many seriously injured victims were lying on both sides of the street, and blood stains could still be seen on the ground.

As soon as Baili Junyi arrived, Zhou Da, who had blood on his head, broke out of the crowd: "Lord of the county? You must be careful, some Diao people are taking the opportunity to make trouble, you must not come forward and get too close, the lower officials have already asked the officers and soldiers to maintain order. ”

Baili Junyi's face was ugly, and the people in the middle of the street were constantly pushing and shoving, driving the victims in the direction of the city gate, and they kept shouting: "Get out, get out of Zhoucheng." ”

"What's going on?"

Zhou Da's eyes were full of anxiety, and after hearing his words, he raised his sleeve and wiped the blood on his head: "Xiaguan also suddenly received the news in the middle of the night, I only heard that there were people making trouble, and I haven't asked what is going on, and when I came over, the people of Zhoucheng had already fought with the victims." ”

Baili Jun's eyebrows tightened, and he turned around and commanded the guards behind him in a cold voice: "Separate all the people here, what is it like to make a fuss?" ”

With the addition of these well-trained guards, the scene was quickly brought under control, and the people of Zhoucheng and the victims of the disaster stood on both sides of the street, their faces full of anger and unwillingness.

Baili Junyi's body was imposing, and no one dared to speak out again for a while. He swept around the people on both sides with a cold eye, and asked aloud, "Who will tell this king what the hell is going on?" ”

And the people, look at me, and I look at you, and they will not open their mouths.

Shen Ninghua stood beside Baili Junyi, looked at the people of Zhoucheng next to him, and said in a light tone: "I heard that the people of Zhoucheng have always been the most enthusiastic and kind, how could there be a conflict with the victims today, could it be that the previous rumors were all false?" ”

When the people heard this, they immediately spoke: "What the princess said is not right, no matter how kind we are, we can't ignore our own lives." ”

"Yes, my children have had an accident, and I don't know who else will have an accident, do you have to sacrifice your life to save people?"

"It's all those disaster victims, it's all they who brought the disaster to Zhoucheng."

"Kick them out, drive them all out, so we can be saved!"

"Yes, drive them away, we will live!"

Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Baili Junyi, and nodded at him.

Baili Junyi turned his head with a cold face, flashed into the people, and arrested a few people who had just taken the lead in shouting.

Seeing that the people on his side were thrown to the ground, someone shouted again: "If the prince and the princess want to save people, do they have to sacrifice the people of our Zhou City?" ”

"Yes, even if you want to be kind, you have to see how it is really kind, is it that in order to save hundreds of victims, you have to sacrifice the people of the entire Zhou City, there are tens of thousands of people here!"

"Give us an explanation, we want an explanation, if we can't get any explanation today, we will desperately drive out the source of these disasters."

Shen Ninghua stepped forward and walked up to a person: "You shouted the most vigorously just now, and I think you should be the most seriously implicated, so let me ask you, what disasters did those victims bring to you?" ”

The people on the ground were a little dumbfounded, and they didn't expect that they would be taken out so quickly: "Those victims brought the plague, and many people in Zhoucheng were infected, especially the people living around here, some of the children were already hot all over their bodies and were almost dying. ”

Shen Ninghua's face was cold: "Where is the child who wants to die?" You keep saying that these victims are the source of the plague, then you are really bold, you don't want to get away from it quickly, and you are desperately moving forward. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people who were still angry suddenly calmed down and retreated in unison, for fear that they would be infected with the plague.

The man on the ground spoke again: "Even if we are infected, we must drive these people away, and we must not let them harm more people." ”

When the people heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, anyway, we are all here, and it is inevitable to be infected, so simply drive them away and prevent them from continuing to harm others." ”

Shen Ninghua raised his eyes to look at them, and his tone was unconcealably mocking: "Isn't the most important thing now to treat the people infected with the plague first?" "I really didn't expect that someone would seize the moment when the victims entered the city to make trouble, but I don't know if these things have anything to do with the Zhou family.

The people who were caught alone and took the lead in shouting did not stop: "If we don't drive these people away, we will never be good!" ”

This time, however, there were far fewer people who echoed him, for a woman rushed out with her unconscious child in her arms: "Princess! I beg the princess to save my child. ”

The woman's hair was disheveled, her face was covered with tears, and she was holding a red-faced child of about three or four years old in her hands, and her eyes were full of pleading.

Shen Ninghua stepped forward to check, her eyebrows were furrowed very tightly, the child's face was red, and he was still twitching from time to time, looking very worried: "When did this child start to have this symptom?" ”

"It's this evening, I didn't let him run around, but he didn't listen, he just wanted to go to the street, I just carried him to the street to see, I didn't want to be infected with the plague, princess, the woman heard that your medical skills are the best, you will definitely be able to save my child, right?"

Shen Ninghua turned his head to look aside: "But there are other children infected?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

A few more people came out with their children in their arms, with a sad and desperate look around them, their children's life and death are uncertain, if they really can't be saved, even if they fight for their lives, they will drive those victims out and beat them to death! Let them pay for their lives!

Shen Ninghua looked at it side by side, and the look in his eyes was very cold, these children were not infected with the plague at all, but poisoned!

Baili Junyi stepped forward: "Ninghua, how is it?" ”

"Let them go and check where these families live, and get some water from the well and their leftovers." There is a lot of drought in Zhoucheng, and every house has a well dug by the people, which is very likely to be a problem with the well water.

Zhou Da on the side shook his fingers and lowered his eyes quietly.

Baili Junyi immediately ordered someone to go forward: "Ninghua, but someone is secretly making trouble and poisoning the well water?" He didn't keep his voice down, so the people around him heard it clearly, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Impossible, who would poison for no reason?"

"yes, and if there is a problem with well water or something, it won't be just the child, right?"

“……”

Shen Ninghua ignored the surrounding voices, there were eight hundred guards present, and no one dared to move indiscriminately, so let them talk about it first.

Soon, the people who had gone to fetch water rushed back.

Shen Ninghua checked a few wells one by one, and finally affirmed: "Jun Yi, someone poisoned the well water, the toxicity is not strong, and because of the dilution of the well water, the onset of adults is not obvious, but children are different, their bodies are much weaker, so they are sick." ”

"How is this possible?"

"Yes, is it wrong, how can someone poison the well water, what if it kills someone?"

"The princess is wrong......"

Hearing the doubts around him, Shen Ninghua turned his head and glanced at them coldly: "If you don't believe it, you can come over and drink more water, maybe you can experience the effect of poison." ”

The people who had just emerged suddenly silenced, and they were not stupid, how could they personally step forward as test subjects?

When this conclusion came out, the victims next to them became emotional: "It's clearly not our problem, but you want to drive us out, and you have injured a lot of people, shouldn't you apologize?" ”

"Why do you have to apologize? Who knows if you ordered the poison? ”

"How could it be us, if you don't apologize today, we will definitely not give up!"

"If you don't give up, don't give up, see who can beat whom!"
