When the middle-aged Taoist priest heard this, his face froze, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I didn't bring it, because I was originally in a nearby Taoist temple, and I came to help the villagers treat their diseases, so I didn't think about it so much." ”

Xu Rong's face turned cold: "You haven't answered my question yet, which Taoist temple are you?" ”

At the same time, he turned his head and ordered: "Chen Xiaoer, go and ask the villagers, who invited these Taoist priests to come to see the doctor, ask them which Taoist temple they are, what is the background, if it is different from these Taoist priests, then ......"

Xu Rong's words were not finished yet, the corner of his eye kept staring at these Taoist priests, and then he saw them turn around and run, very fast, obviously all of them had martial arts.

It's just that compared to Xu Rong's speed, they are still far behind.

I saw Xu Rong's soles of his feet stepping heavily on the ground, and a depression appeared on the ground, and his whole person rushed out like a cannonball.

In the blink of an eye, he had already come behind several Taoist priests who had fled in a hurry, and grabbed the back of the necks of the two Taoist priests with both hands.

With a mention and a throw, the five Taoist priests suddenly fell into a rolling gourd.

Xu Rong walked to their side and looked at them condescendingly: "Say, what are your identities?" What is the matter with coming to this Niutou Village? ”

The catchers behind him also hurriedly rushed over, controlled the five Taoist priests, and then tied them up.

Chen Xiaoer also came over at this time and reported: "Head, these Taoist priests claim to be from the Yellow Turban Dao, and they are good at saving people with talismans, and they have treated several villagers in Niutou Village before. ”

"After the villagers got sick, someone went to invite them, and they didn't come until now."

Hearing these words, Xu Rong's face showed a look of thought.

"Are these people who are sick in the village now contracted this disease before these Taoist priests came, or did they get it after they came?"

"Head, do you suspect these people are doing it?"

Chen Xiaoer was very surprised, in his opinion, something like a plague should be a natural disaster, how did it become a man-made disaster now?

This is also the limitation of knowledge, ordinary people like Chen Xiaoer grew up, and they are relatively unfamiliar with many things.

He didn't know that the plague was not a natural disaster, but was caused by various man-made causes.

Plague also refers not to a disease, but to a general term for various malignant infectious diseases.

The more well-known plagues are smallpox, plague and the like.

The reason why many people think that the plague is a natural disaster is because the plague is often due to natural disasters such as drought or flood, because there are too many people who die, no one to dispose of the corpses, and various coincidental factors, brewing into some kind of malignant infectious disease.

Xu Rong didn't explain too much, just said: "The plague can be artificially created, these people are very suspicious, you just go and investigate." ”

Chen Xiaoer nodded knowingly and didn't ask again.

And here, Xu Rong also began to interrogate these five Taoist priests.

"What? Don't want to say it yet? Then you must have heard of the torture of the Yamen, right? There are no other torture instruments here, so I can only reluctantly give you a Ling Chi. ”

Xu Rong pulled out his Yanling knife and fiddled with it in front of their eyes.

Several slightly younger Taoist priests suddenly trembled, and their eyes looking at Xu Rong were full of fear.

The middle-aged Taoist priest immediately said, "My lord, we are disciples of the Yellow Turban Dao, not some evil people, those villagers can testify." ”

"Since you're not evil, why did you run away just now?"

Xu Rong really didn't remember that there was a Taoist temple called Yellow Turban Dao near here.

In his previous life, he had heard that an organization called Taiping Dao was called the Yellow Turban, but that was a matter of the previous life, and it definitely had nothing to do with it.

"This ......"

The middle-aged Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, then said, "We don't have a degree. ”

"Oh? No wonder you are fleeing. ”

Xu Rong's expression softened slightly.

The Great Yan Dynasty also had strict rules for monks.

After all, many of these monks are not productive, and even many temples and Taoist temples have many warrior monks and other characters, and these people naturally have to register to prevent these temples and Taoist temples from rebelling.

And this degree is the ID card of the monks, similar to the road guide issued by ordinary people when they go to other places.

If there is no degree, then it proves that these Taoist priests are all wild Taoist priests, and it is no wonder that they will want to escape.

"But even so, you don't have to react so violently, do you? Nowadays, there is no strict regulation of this across the country, and many people are turning a blind eye. ”

Hearing Xu Rong say this, the middle-aged Taoist priest was a little relieved: "We also have some understanding of the prestige of adults, so when we see that the adults are not good-looking, we are a little nervous, not because we intend to confront adults, please let us go, we are all good people." ”

At this time, Chen Xiaoer walked quickly, and then said: "Head, check it out, before these Taoist priests came to Niutou Village, no one got the plague. ”

Xu Rong, who had been observing a few people, saw that the middle-aged Taoist priest's face was quite calm, but the few young Taoist priests behind him were already as earthy as they were at this time.

In an instant, Xu Rong knew in his heart: "It seems that you made this plague." ”

"Your Excellency is wronged, it's just a coincidence, how can we, ordinary people, make a plague, this is the exclusive ability of Lord Plague God."

The middle-aged Taoist priest shouted loudly with a sad expression, if he was put in the eyes of uninformed people, I am afraid that he would really think that he was innocent.

"Hehe......"

In this regard, Xu Rong just said lightly, "Interrogate these Taoist priests separately, if any of the questions are not right, then I will ask him to taste the taste of Ling Chi, three thousand six hundred knives, not one more knife, not one less." ”

After that, Xu Rong's fierce gaze swept over several Taoist priests, and immediately made them fall into an ice cave.

The least daring ones are even already scared to pee.

With Xu Rong's use of momentum, combined with murderous aura, it is enough to make ordinary people frightened.

It is normal for this Taoist priest to behave like this.

Soon, without any means of extorting confessions through torture, several young Taoist priests told everything they knew as if pouring beans.

After listening to what these young Taoist priests said, Xu Rong's eyes looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest.

At this time, the middle-aged Taoist priest was already dead-faced, and he looked lifeless.

Xu Rong asked, "Do you have anything else to add?" ”

Judging from what those young Taoist priests said just now, it was enough for them to die without a place to bury.

Even if he said anything more, it would be useless, so the middle-aged Taoist priest could only remain silent.

Seeing that the middle-aged Taoist priest didn't speak, Xu Rong said coldly: "Think it's okay if you don't speak?" If you tell me the solution, I can still intercede for you, but if not, the punishment will be the same. ”
