Zhang Xueying said with a smile: "May I ask you are the mayor of Wang Manchu Town? We are from the Jinzhou City Health Bureau, and we are here to ask you about the plague." ”

Unbeknownst to him, Wang Manchu immediately showed a look of disgust, and was about to close the door with his hand, "Let's go, let's go! Aren't all the people from the city in the town government?

Long Xiaojiu hurriedly reached the door and said, "Mayor Wang, you misunderstood, we were sent by Mayor Gao, and we are not with them!"

"Mayor Gao, is it Gao Linnan, the former county magistrate of Nanyang County?" Wang Manchu wondered.

Gao Linnan was a Qing official when he served in Nanyang, and the people had already spread in the southwest province, and Wang Manchu, who was the mayor of Pingnan Town, certainly couldn't have known about it.

Long Xiaojiu nodded, "Mayor Wang, Mayor Gao sent us to investigate privately because he was anxious about the plague here, don't worry, we are definitely not people from the expert team." ”

Wang Manchu nodded, looked out of the door, and then quickly pulled Long Xiaojiu and the others into the courtyard.

Although Wang Manchu is the head of a town, this family is not much better than ordinary people's homes, with two small courtyards, several blue brick houses, and the furniture is also antique.

And Wang Manchu is also like his ancient furniture, his face is carved with vicissitudes.

After entering the house, Wang Manchu quickly closed the door tightly, and looked at Long Xiaojiu and the others with an indifferent expression.

There was nothing to say for a while, but Long Xiaojiu opened his mouth to break the silence, "You are Mayor Wang?"

Wang Manchu showed a wry smile, "Hey, what's the mayor of the town." He raised his head again and looked at Long Xiaojiu and the others suspiciously, and said, "You said you were sent by Mayor Gao?"

Zhang Xueying spoke first, "Yes, we are from the Jinzhou Municipal Health Bureau, and it is because of the serious epidemic here that Mayor Gao quietly sent us." ”

Long Xiaojiu glanced at Zhang Xueying suspiciously.

Wang Manchu nodded and said: "Oh, Mayor Gao is a good person, I have heard of her several times when I go to the city for meetings, but this good person who breaks the world is always unpowered." ”

Looking at Wang Manchu's declining expression, Long Xiaojiu also knew in his heart that the so-called expert group here might really have done nothing.

"Mayor Wang, can you tell us what these expert groups are doing here?" asked Long Xiaojiu.

As soon as Wang Manchu heard the expert group, his eyes showed anger, and his emaciated face was a little angry, and then he told what had happened in Pingnan Town these days.

Since the plague began to spread here, the expert group came here, and after being stationed in the town government, they did not go out every day, and the townspeople were not allowed to go out, and they were not given medicine or food.

They are all people in the mountains, there is no grain at all, and after a long time, everyone runs to the town government to make trouble after eating the food, but this is okay, as soon as the experts make trouble, they arrest people, and they arrest a few leaders and lock them up and beat them and release them.

Even Wang Manchu himself was beaten half to death.

A black line appeared between Long Xiaojiu's eyebrows, and he held back his anger, "Mayor Wang, weren't they all police officers from the city bureau at the beginning?

Wang Manchu shook his head, "Those policemen are not bad, they helped us all ask the expert group for things a few times, although they were not much, but they were all given, and then somehow those policemen left, in exchange for a pair of soldiers, the soldiers were fierce, and it was like eating meat when they beat people, and many people in the town were injured." ”

"It's really unreasonable!" Long Xiaojiu took the case.

Zhang Xueying comforted: "Forget Xiao Jiu, let's learn about the plague first, and then settle accounts with them when those things are over!"

Long Xiaojiu nodded, so he asked about Wang Manchu's son Wang Ming.

When it comes to his son, Wang Manchu is full of tears, his son Wang Ming is a famous hunter in the town, and he heard that he can catch wild boars with his bare hands, which shows his strong physique.

But one day just three months ago, Wang Ming came back from hunting in Xiaogu Mountain, not only empty-handed, but also starless and silent, and came back from a deep sleep.

At night, Wang Manchu heard movement in his son's house, so he got up to take a look, and that scene scared Wang Manchu's soul away.

I saw my son Wang Ming's limbs stiff walking back and forth in the house, his body was stained with blood and a foul smell, so Wang Manchu went over and called Wang Ming.

But there was no response, and then Wang Ming kept walking back and forth, and did not stop until the next morning.

Pus and blood began to flow from his body, and the stench was incomparable, and Wang Ming remained like this for the next three days.

Wang Manchu was also invited by Langzhong, and the Taoist monk was also called, all of which were useless.

Three days later, Wang Ming died.

Wang Manchu covered his face and cried bitterly, "Poor my baby, only twenty-two years old, and my daughter-in-law hasn't married yet, you say it's ......"

Choked up with tears.

After a while, Long Xiaojiu continued to ask, "What about later?"

Later, the people in the town began to give birth to this strange disease one after another, and the results were the same as Wang Manchu.

Long Xiaojiu nodded, but there were many questions in his heart, why Wang Manchu, who was closest to Wang Ming, was fine, and why Wang Ming had this strange disease.

Wang Manchu continued: "At first, everyone thought it was a demon, so at night the family was closed, and the plague still happened, and in the end there was really no way, I reported the matter to my superiors, and the superiors promised to send people immediately, but, I never thought that people were sent, but you see what these people have done!"

Then, Long Xiaojiu carefully asked Wang Manchu about some information about Wang Ming.

Wang Manchu only said that Wang Ming went to the depths of Xiaogu Mountain, a valley to hunt, where there were many prey, and there were no jackals, tigers and leopards, and there were shelters from the wind and rain, and sometimes Wang Ming went for a few days.

But when asked about the specific location of the valley, Wang Manchu didn't know, after all, Orion has a fixed hunting spot, which is a job, and generally speaking, he will not mention it to anyone.

In this way, the pathogen of the plague seems to have some eyebrows, as long as Long Xiaojiu personally finds the valley and checks it, he can get some information.

"Mayor Wang, what will that valley look like?" asked the careful Zhang Xueying, the more she knew, the more handy she would be in action, and she had been instilling this kind of thinking in Long Xiaojiu.

Wang Manchu looked puzzled, and said intermittently: "I only heard that the valley is very beautiful, and there is a small river, which is very clear, and the entrance is full of shrubs, and you have to pass through a cave to reach the valley." That's all I know. ”

Zhang Xueying glanced at Wang Manchu gratefully, now the target is much easier to find.

"Long Xiaojiu, let's go and find that valley first, maybe we can find something!" Zhang Xueying looked at Long Xiaojiu who was thinking deeply.
