Chapter 477: Is Life Important?
Xiao Yan's distinct fingertips tapped on the desk, and his voice was low and endlessly cold, "Niangniang said that Lord Wei intends to be greedy for the official food of the imperial court. ”
Wei Zhongming's knees weakened and knelt down, "The lower official should be damned, the lower official is a ghost who has lost his mind, my lord, I beg your lord to say a few kind words in front of the mother, leaving the official a dog's life, even if it is for the adult to be a cow and a horse, the lower official will also make it." ”
Xiao Shen exhaled lightly, there was a trace of entanglement between his eyebrows, Wei Zhongming saw that there might be a drama, so he asked to work harder, "My lord, the lower official in that cave has never touched a single grain, and the lower official will take the adult to move the grain out." ”
Xiao Yan's black eyes raised, "Official grain, wasn't it burned?" If you want to make up for your mistakes, you have to at least make up for the official food that was burned, right? Otherwise, it would be difficult for the official to come to the mother to plead. ”
"Lord Wei said, yes or no?"
Wei Zhongming opened his eyes in shock, thinking that he had misheard.
He tentatively spoke, "My lord, those official rations...... Isn't it too much, I'm afraid that Xia Guan won't be able to raise so much food in such a short time. ”
Xiao Shen picked up the teacup on the table and pecked lightly, "When the official came, he heard a lot of rumors along the road that were unfavorable to Lord Wei, saying that there had been a drought in this Los Angeles City for a long time, but the imperial court had not received any news, how should Lord Wei explain this matter to the emperor at that time?" ”
Wei Zhongming's face turned pale, and he couldn't speak.
One side is silver, the other side is life, which is more important, Wei Zhongming can weigh it!
Wei Zhongming grabbed the ground with his head with a bitter face, "Don't worry, my lord, even if I don't eat or drink, I will do everything I can to pull it out, and I ask my lord to give him a little time." ”
"Three days, three days later, the official will see Lord Wei's repentance in the reserve granary."
"Three-Day ......"
Xiao Yan's eyelids lifted, "It's long?" ”
Wei Zhongming shook his head busily, "No, no, it's just three days, it's three days!" ”
"Go ahead."
"Yes, it's the resignation of the lower officials, and the retirement of the lower officials."
When Xiao Shen returned to the guest house, Su Ying had already left the city, and she still wanted to go outside the city to check if there were any patients who had not been cured.
It's just that the result surprised her, all the patients' symptoms disappeared, everyone returned to normal, and there were no new patients inside and outside the city, and the virus seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air.
From a medical point of view, it is basically impossible to happen in such a medical environment, unless the route of transmission of the disease is self-blocking.
"Niangniang, the first group of people you want to check are all dead."
"All dead?"
"Yes, basically none of these patients survived before being treated by Miss Zhou, and as long as they showed symptoms, they would basically die within three to five days."
The fatality rate of this disease is frighteningly high, "What about corpses? What about the bodies of the sick and dead? ”
"It was burned and then landfilled."
"Where is it buried?"
Zhou Qing went to an official messenger to inquire, and an hour later, the official messenger took Su Ying to a barren mountain, and a large area of renovated soil was faintly visible on the hillside in front of him.
Su Ying motioned for the official to come over with a shovel, and then asked everyone to retreat to a farther place behind, and then put on a gas mask to dig.
One, two, three charred corpses were exhumed.
These corpses should have passed repeated burning, and the corpses were already charred and black, Su Ying put on gloves and pulled them, and found that the organs of the corpses were burned.
The corpse has been burned like this, and it is already difficult to find anything useful from it, and many substances have undergone qualitative changes in the process of being burned repeatedly.
Su Ying dug up a few more corpses and came out, the situation was worse than the previous one, it was simply impossible to see, the bones were so carbonized that the shovel shattered at the touch of a shovel.
She was still not convinced, and kept digging, and finally dug a different one for her.
Judging by the size that remains, this is supposed to be the corpse of a woman, no, it is a pregnant woman to be exact.
Su Ying twisted her eyebrows, and the corpse was burned beyond recognition, but her abdominal cavity didn't know if it was because of the fetus, and the organs were still left, she took out a big bag and put the corpse in, and then put the corpse into the space while no one was paying attention.
Zhou Qing stood behind the forest and stretched her neck to look, if it weren't for Su Ying's death order, no one could get close to her, and she would have wanted to go over to help.
The officials stood on the sidelines, their faces were not very good, and they all covered their mouths and noses tightly with cloth towels, and even then they could still smell the stench that rushed to the sky.
Su Ying dug for two hours, seeing that the sun was about to set, she stopped, buried the dug up body again, and then sprayed her whole body with disinfectant before walking to Zhou Qing and them.
"Let's go, get back to the city before it gets dark."
"Yes."
After Su Ying returned to the official mansion, Xiao Shen was already waiting for her in the guest house.
"Where's the mother?"
Su Ying said: "I went to dig up the corpse outside the city, and I still want to see what kind of disease this is so strange." ”
Xiao Yan frowned when he heard this, "It's too dangerous." "They still haven't figured out how the disease is transmitted, and the corpses are poisonous, so what if they do?
Su Ying didn't argue and just said, "I'll pay attention next time." ”
Xiao Shen wanted to step forward, but he mistakenly saw Zhou Qing standing motionless in the room, "You go out first." ”
Zhou Qing looked at Su Ying and didn't move, she always felt that this adult's attitude towards Niangniang was not right, and there was no courtier's respect for the queen at all!
Su Ying thought that Xiao Yan had something to say to herself, so she asked Zhou Qing to bring the dinner.
Before leaving, Zhou glanced at Xiao Yan vigilantly before turning to leave.
Xiao Shen went to Su Ying and sat down, even if he was wearing a mask on his face, Su Ying could see a grievance between his eyebrows, "After the people from the Ministry of Industry come over, we will go back to Beijing." ”
Su Ying didn't have time to mention this to him yesterday, he is now the king of a country, can he be away from Beijing for so long?
"Tell me first, how did you leave Beijing?"
Xiao Yan grabbed her hand and put it to his lips, wanting to kiss it, but he smelled a faint rancid stench, his expression was slightly stunned, she went to dig up the corpse in the afternoon......
Xiao Shen silently turned the hand that was on his lips to his heart, "Pretend to be sick." ”
"Are you so sure that the person in L.A. is me, not a trap set by someone else?"
Xiao Yan's dark pupils reflected her cold appearance, "Wei Zhongming has a detailed description of you in his message to the capital, and he is very angry with you, every detail of his description is too similar to you, at that moment I think it's you, lingering, I know it's you back." ”
