Chapter 16: The Killer
In the plague incident in Huaxiu Town, Doctor Du finally waited for the assistance of the Yongshang Chamber of Commerce.
The manpower input of several hundred people suddenly made the situation clearer.
The fire that rose was still burning, and the corpses in Huaxiu Town were gradually decreasing.
And the Yongshang Chamber of Commerce also brought away disinfectant water and cleaning tools.
This better blocks the possibility of the plague spreading wildly.
Doctor Du can also breathe a sigh of relief.
On the third day, the fire was finally extinguished.
And the little girl's condition has also improved, and four other patients finally survived, but if they want to be cured, they have to wait until Mucheng receives better treatment.
After the Huaxiu Town incident came to an end, dozens of people from the Yongshang Chamber of Commerce were left behind to deal with the aftermath, and the others went home.
When the Du Yi team arrived in Mucheng, they saw a straggler team gathered in the streets of Mucheng ready to go.
There are only about forty of them, and they are still wondering why Doctor Du came back?
This made Doctor Du, who was relieved, angry and angry.
asked Zhou Hu to catch the two leaders, and immediately beat him half to death, only seeing the breath out, but not the intake.
The group of stragglers trembled as they knelt down.
Doctor Du turned over and dismounted, stood in front of a group of people, and said angrily.
"If you take the money from the government, you have to contribute to the government! If you only take the money and don't make any effort, what is the government doing with your group of rice buckets?"
"I, Doctor Du, the city lord of Mucheng has given you a chance, if you don't want to do it now, let me go, but if you want to continue to take the money, you will listen to my orders in the future." ”
As soon as the words fell, there were four or five bold people inside, who took off their official uniforms and threw them on the ground.
Doctor Du knew the origin of those people.
In addition to the Yong Chamber of Commerce in Mucheng, there are two major families, the Wang family and the Hai family.
Although the financial resources of these two are not as good as those of the Yong Chamber of Commerce, they should not be underestimated.
Give some money, and it's not a problem to mix up an official and a half-job.
Those people are the people of the Wang family and the Hai family, relying on the wealth and power of the family, they are very jumping in the team.
Of course, there are more jumpers, and there are more than a dozen people who have not yet come to the team.
"Is there anyone else?" said Du softly.
About four or five seconds later, a few more people stood up, counting them as Wang Jiahai's group.
There were fifteen of them, and those who didn't look back turned around and left.
Some people snorted coldly and stepped on the official uniforms on the ground a few times.
When the fat golden man on Doctor Du's side saw it, his eyelids jumped.
This is too daring, he himself has to shoot Du Yi's horses, and these few are arrogant and lawless.
Doctor Du said lightly: "Zhou Hu." ”
"Yes. Zhou Hu raised his head slightly, and fifteen soldiers rushed around, one of them grabbed one, and disappeared into the alley with the fifteen guys.
"Hey, what are you going to do, I'm the fourth son of the Hai family, you dare to touch me?"
The soldier's fist greeted the shouter in the face, and he was stunned, and his face was like a flower.
"Crooked, let me go. ”
After three or five clicks, the people who were about to leave disappeared, and the rest of them became even more frightened.
Doctor Du didn't want to say more, since these people still wanted to stay, this state was naturally not good.
Then he threw all these people to Zhou Hu.
Zhou Hu sent five of his own soldiers to serve as instructors to train them.
After all, Zhou Hu is too big to play.
Since then, the slogan of one, two, one has sounded in the city lord's mansion, and it is very loud from morning to night.
And in the past few days, Dr. Du has been taking care of the patients in Huaxiu Town.
Their condition improved, but they were all unconscious, and Dr. Du pondered that it would be three or four days before they woke up.
At that time, the matter of Huaxiu Town will come to light.
And the plague in Huaxiu Town also spread throughout Mucheng, as well as the surrounding towns, all the way to the palace.
After all, it was 800 dead and wounded, and it is appalling now.
At the court meeting, Emperor Qin deliberately named Du Yi, saying that he made good decisions on the plague incident, which made many officials envious.
These Du doctors didn't know it.
The mayors of the remaining two towns in Mucheng and the village chiefs of the larger villages panicked.
The so-called reactive power is excessive, not to mention that they don't even have basic condolences.
The reason is that there are too many people who have died in Huaxiu Town, and the remaining few people are in the City Lord's Mansion, and they can be said to have no place to help, and there is no place for them to help if they want to help afterwards.
So they came to Mucheng together to ask for guilt, and the new official took office three times, they didn't want to touch Doctor Du's moldy head.
Gifts are given, and good things are said.
It is impossible for Doctor Du to punish them severely, beat them with a small stick and then give them a piece of candy to eat.
This matter is over.
This morning, Dr. Du had just come out of the patient's room and happened to meet Zhou Hu.
"Zhou Hu, there has been no movement in the City Lord's Mansion in the past two days?"
No, it is estimated that our defense is too strict, and the people in the shadows have no chance to attack. ”
In this courtyard, it seems that there are only two people, Zhou Hu and Du Yi, but in fact, in each room, there are five soldiers lurking.
It is also full of traps, crossbow arrows, traps, and so on.
It can be said that no one can sneak in silently.
"It seems that they are not in a hurry, let the bait out. ”
"Is it necessary, sir?"
"Late is changing, it's time to make them anxious, they will make mistakes in a hurry, and if they make mistakes, we will have a chance. ”
"Understood. ”
It didn't take long for the city lord's mansion to spread the news of the little girl in Huaxiu Town waking up, and there was also an inside story about the outbreak of the plague.
As for what the inside story is, it is unknown.
The awakening of the little girl is undoubtedly a great joy for the people of Mucheng.
The people of Mucheng, who have been persecuted by the plague all year round, are full of compassion and love for patients like the little girl.
The news that the little girl was safe spread quickly in Mucheng, and almost everyone knew about it.
Some people went to the city lord's mansion to petition and want to meet the little girl and celebrate her.
Ordinary people took the initiative to take to the streets, holding some gifts in their hands, and gathered at the city lord's mansion.
Doctor Du naturally received the news and came to the gate.
"My lord, what do you think?" Zhou Hu also came to the door and pointed to the people outside the door.
"The people who first came were undoubtedly well-intentioned, but there was no shortage of people who were mixed in. ”
Doctor Du didn't care, and continued, "The next thing is to calm the people's emotions and not let the people in the shadows take the opportunity to coax." ”
"Steward Zhu. Doctor Du shouted towards the mansion.
"Here, my lord, what's the matter?" Steward Zhu walked from the front hall.
"When I went outside, I said that the little girl still needed to recuperate, and let the people leave on their own. ”
"Okay. Steward Zhu just took a step, and then came back and said again.
"My lord, if someone outside asks about any shady things, what should I say?"
Doctor Du frowned and said, "Where did you hear that?"
"It's not.... It's all talking about it out there. Steward Zhu pointed out embarrassedly.
"Let's just say it's a rumor. ”
"Oh. ”
"Alright, there you go. ”
Doctor Du looked at Steward Zhu's back, a little distracted.
Zhou Hu stepped forward and asked.
"What's wrong?"
"It's a little weird, I can't tell. Doctor Du shook his head.
"You don't suspect this Steward Zhu, do you? ha. Zhou Hu laughed.
"Timid, cowardly, incompetent, do you think so too?"
Zhou Hu nodded and said, "Otherwise, I have probed his meridians, and his body is empty, and he can't be more ordinary." ”
"If the old city lord hadn't died, I wouldn't have suspected him if I killed him. ”
"What does this have to do with the old city lord? Lord Du, I really don't understand. “
Zhou Hu sighed, for him, what can be solved with his fists is a simple thing.
Even if he knew that there was a group of people secretly who wanted to deal with Du Yi, he was not nervous at all.
Because he knew that in the entire Mu City, no one could beat him.
It is more than enough to protect the safety of Du Yi.
Doctor Du sighed secretly and said.
"Hey, I don't understand, wait until the evening, and see if the rabbit will come and hit the tree." ”
The sun slowly sets in the west, and the moon gradually rises.
Tonight is exceptionally quiet, the moonlight is scattered in the city lord's mansion, very beautiful and thick.
But the two heads poking out of the roof became blemishes.
The two whispered to each other
"You said that our brothers have been guarding this place for most of the night, will anyone come?"
"Shhhh ”
"Big brother, it's past three o'clock. I see, we'll go back to sleep when it's dawn. ”
"It's okay for you to complain to me, if the leader hears it, you don't lose a layer of skin, I have your surname!"
"Okay, I'll concentrate, I can concentrate. ”
While the two soldiers were chatting, a vague shadow crawled out of the foot of the wall and sneaked into the doorway.
Follow the shadows of the house and sneak into the patient's room step by step.
None of the soldiers spotted him.
He went outside the room, leaned against the wall, and moved to the window.
Turn over the beam and enter the room.
There was a person lying on the bed in the room, and the size was that of a child.
He drew his black dagger, and instead of rushing forward to kill with one blow, he slowly and cautiously crawled to the head of the bed.
The dagger was pointed at the skull, ready to strike.
But his heart trembled suddenly, and he actually saw the person he was about to attack staring at him with wide eyes.
How... How could it be!!, he was startled.
Assassination failed.
These four words flashed through his heart.
Without hesitation, he put away his dagger and turned to flee to the window.
With a bang, the window closed automatically.
He slammed directly into the window, his flesh grunting.
Is it iron?!
He was good at assassination, and he immediately recognized it.
So he immediately raised his head and rushed to the roof.
But he had just jumped up, and he was greeted by a big-footed girl.
Kicked him back to the ground, with shoe prints on his face.
"I've been a tree here all night, just for you rabbit, and you think I'm going to let you escape so easily?"
Zhou Hu appeared in the room, and then there was a sound of footsteps outside.
It was clear that the soldiers had surrounded the entire room.
The killer didn't speak, only took out the dagger and stared at Zhou Hu without looking away.
"Yo, a first-level eye, dare to provoke me?"
Zhou Hu looked at the killer playfully.
