Chapter 1005: The Scourge of Greed
Because Dong Lansheng is still sitting in the epidemic area, Shi Niang can only consult Sima Zhong and other folk doctors, after all, everyone does not seem to have read more systematic medical books and writings like medical officials, not to mention those historical books that record the use of spreading plague in the war to achieve victory, different opinions, each has its own opinion, and after dialectic, Sima Zhong believes that polluting water sources with carrion is theoretically valid, but Ruan Ling's wife Li Shuchi secretly asked the neighbors and relatives of the first victims of the epidemic early in the morning, and very much agreed with the statement that it was caused by man-made disasters.
"The two villages of Wuli and Bali outside the city were the first to break out of the epidemic, and almost all of the families who were the first to be infected did not dig well water for the sake of saving effort. As for the city, the first people who were infected also had this bad habit; A soldier who was well ill and transferred out of the epidemic area to recuperate claimed that there was a Xuanjian Pond in front of the Zhenwu Pavilion of the military camp in Guannei, which originated from the water of the Peach River, because the pool water was clear and sweet, and the soldiers often went to drink, and he was one of them. The official admitted that for convenience, he directly took the water from the canal and stream, but it was not boiled at all, and was directly sent to the people who gathered to make trouble, and the more than 20 people who were convicted of the epidemic were infected one after another. ”
After listening to Li's words, Shi Niang knew more in her heart, and sent people to inspect the upstream of various water sources, and found that there was immersion in the carrion in the water, all of which had been smoked.
Guangyang has both soldiers and people, of course, there are few large and small merchants, since the Turkic five departments showed wolf ambitions, for the merchants, Eleven Niang has already ordered strict supervision, but if the tenants are from Dongying, then there is no obvious difference in appearance, they have obtained their own nationality certificates, and it is difficult to screen the shops in the city in the name of hired workers, and the smoked and cured poultry meat that died of plague will not attract attention to the city, the quantity is not large, not enough to levy the ratio of taxes, and the city defense will not record at all, let alone think of these common "meat" It turned out to be the culprit who caused the plague!
It has become extremely clear that the Guangyang plague is indeed due to man-made disasters.
However, there are a lot of employees in the city, and the tenants are hidden among hundreds of people, and it is an exaggeration to say that they are looking for a needle in a haystack, but there is no clue at all, and it is indeed not easy to find out the tenants accurately, and Yang Huaixi's method is to lure the snake out of the hole.
Eleven Niang quickly made a decision and made a vigorous deployment.
So on this day, the city posted a notice, many of the people were illiterate, although there were many onlookers, but they did not know the content of the notice, but at this time the epidemic was not completely subsided, so the government's action inevitably caused panic, and there was the bold one who stepped forward to ask the sergeant on the side: "What is written on this notice?" I can't read, and although I have eyes, I can't read. ”
The sergeant didn't put on a show, and patiently explained: "It was the princess who ordered that from today onwards, martial law will begin in the city, and no matter whether they are local people in Guangyang or not, they are not allowed to leave the city again." ”
As a result, it has sparked a lot of discussion.
Some people wondered: "Due to the outbreak of the epidemic, the government has already stopped opening its offices, to prevent exile and spread the epidemic, but the villages and towns outside the city are not all epidemic areas, and the households outside the city enter the city to buy rice and medicine. ”
The sergeant explained: "The princess has made arrangements, if there is a daily need for food and clothing in each village, it will be reported to Lizheng, and Lizheng will report to the official office, and the sergeant needs to be procured according to the report and sent out of the city." ”
"Why is it so precautionary, is it because the epidemic is spreading again?" Someone exclaimed.
"Everyone can rest assured that the epidemic has not spread." The sergeant didn't explain any more.
And after these days of getting along, many people have become familiar with Binu, Alu, etc., and they have to ask them, but the second maid is not cautious: "It's not something that can't be said, you can rest assured, the epidemic has been controlled, and even the princess has found out the reason for the outbreak of the epidemic, not because of the dislocation of yin and yang, the wrong time of cold and summer, but because the city is mixed with the enemy, these people who are not good to die actually polluted the water source with the carrion of beasts and birds that died of plague, which caused the outbreak of the plague, and the princess ordered the city gate to be sealed, precisely to prevent these tenants from escaping." ”
So it caused a lot of discussion, the people were angry, all of them were cursing the enemy who killed a thousand knives, and the next day, I heard that the princess of Jin brought a tenant from Jinyang City, it is very likely that he was the leader of the "poisoning" enemy, the reason why Guangyang was mentioned at this time, is to let the leader refer to the party, hundreds of people spontaneously flocked to the city gate, "visiting" the enemy, the sound of cursing was naturally endless, rotten shoes and chicken eggs flew together, I believe that if the people did not know that the enemy still has a role, with stones can also stone people to death.
This accidentally captured enemy sat in the prisoner car, listened to the curse in his ears, and said a regret in his heart, but even if he wanted to bite his tongue at this time, it was too late, because he had already drunk crisp bone powder, as the name suggests, this is a poison that makes people unable to use force, the enemy can only sit firmly at the moment, slowly walk a hundred steps away, although he can still bite his tongue, let alone bite it, even the bite is not enough.
Therefore, there is no need to tie him up at this time, the guards of the Jin Palace's palace even changed him into clean clothes in advance, washed his face and combed his hair, although there are still wounds on his face, it looks like he can't stand the torture and has surrendered, so he has won some kind treatment.
The enemy was miserable, and couldn't help but scan the crowd nervously, desperately wanting to find a familiar face and seize the opportunity to justify, but not only did he fail to do so, but even such a look fell on the eyes of Princess Jin who was traveling in disguise and peeping on a small building on the street.
Very good, although this person was arrested in Jinyang City, it seems that he really has a relationship with the enemy in Guangyang.
Of course, Eleven Niang didn't know at this time, the enemy's real name was Jibei Malu, and his family was also a Dongying nobleman, so he was elected as one of the leaders of Zhineng Ben, but he was just an adopted son of the Jibei family, to put it more clearly, Jibi Malu's parents were actually slaves, his mother was forced to rape by Jibi Jialangjun, after giving birth to him, his parents were killed, he "recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors" as an adopted son, of course the head of the family would not attach much importance to him, and the housewife was even more cruel and contemptuous of him, the Dongying monarch recruited Zhi Nengbian to the nobles, and the housewife of the Jibei clan did not want to let her own son take risks, recommended the "adopted son" to be trained, and Ji Bei Maro was actually a little reluctant to be sent to Zhou, and he didn't have much ambition to dedicate himself to the monarchy.
But of course, he can't show it, because although his parents are dead, he has married and had children, and for the sake of his wife and children, although he has no choice, he must still complete his mission.
The number of Zhineng sent by Dongying was not too many, and the detachment of Jibei Malu was used by the Turks, and they planned to take advantage of the opportunity to cause the loss of Weize Pass, which led to the deterioration of the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In this way, of course, Ji Bei Malu will pay special attention to the movements of Guangyang and Yunzhou, when he heard that Yunzhou Xu will cooperate with the Guangyang army to attack Juyong Pass, he wants to investigate the implementation of the quick report Turkic, but in addition to him, all the manpower has been placed in Guangyang, can not be transferred at will, only he is relatively free, so he will personally go out.
Although Ji Bei Malu said that he had undergone strict training in Dongying, he did not expect that the ordinary people in Jinyang City would have such a high vigilance, and blamed him for his bad luck, he happened to be bumped into by Zhang San and Li Si, two little ladies, and immediately reported to Ai Lu, although Ai Lu traveled in men's clothes that day, he looked like a handsome young man, even Qu Fenger was also in civilian clothes, and did not wear leather armor, Ji Bei Malu inevitably underestimated the enemy, but he did not expect Ai Lu to be a senior disciple personally instructed by the King of Jin, and he shot ruthlessly and steadily, and Ji Bei Malu was caught off guard. was knocked unconscious by Ai Lu's fist, and even took away his tooth hidden poison sac, so that he couldn't easily seek death in the first place-
After all, it takes more courage to bite off the tongue than to bite the poison sac, and Jibi Malu was forced into Zhou, in fact, he did not have the ambition to sacrifice his life for the monarchy, thinking that he had made arrangements before he was arrested, as long as the plague broke out in Guangyang, Wei Zeguan was very likely to be lost, so as long as he bit the bite and survived the torture, there was still a glimmer of life.
He didn't expect that Princess Jin would be able to quell the epidemic, stick to the Reed Ze Pass, and even find out the truth about the outbreak of the epidemic, spread the rumor that he had succumbed, and promised to agree with the party!
Of course, he knew that one of the laws of Zhino was to commit suicide immediately after being arrested, and that Kibi Maro was still alive and well, and even if he refused to be identified, he had already committed a capital crime, and if the news came back to Toei, his wife and children would be tortured to death.
What to do? What to do?!
Ji Bi Malu was at a loss at this time, his only hope could only be that his comrades did not come to the city gate to watch today for the sake of prudence, and the princess of Jin did not know that he was Dongying Zhi Neng, only in this way, although it was difficult for him to escape, at least he would not implicate his wife and children.
