Chapter 16 Robbery
readx;? Ruan Zhong stepped forward: "In broad daylight, you people actually robbed, you people don't want to live." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After that, we are going to start fighting.
Yitong was silent, and the rabble also began to be afraid, and the leader had to declare again: "We don't want to hurt people, we just want you to leave money, you can give as much as you want." ”
Yitong listened to it this time, but he was a little sad, where is this robbery, it is clearly a hard begging!
He immediately said to the chief, "What trouble have you encountered? ”
Hearing Yitong say this, the leader almost burst into tears, and immediately said from the bottom of his heart: "This girl is right! We are villagers in this neighborhood, and the city has always been prosperous in commerce, so we also do some small business here to support our families." Who would have thought that 2 months ago, the son who came and thought he was dressed in brocade clothes said that he wanted to expropriate our land. Let's help grow herbs, give us rent and commissions. We thought it was a godsend, and we agreed. But after I was hit, I realized that it was poison at all. Many of the people in our village were sick, and the boy came once and took all the poison away and left us some money. But it never happened again. We can't live anymore!"
Hearing them say this, Ruan Zhong also frowned.
"If that's the case, you can go and report to the official?" Yitong also felt compassion.
"We're all coarse people, illiterate, and no one writes on paper!. Besides, even if it is reported to the official, people may not necessarily believe it. "The leader seemed to be in a quandary.
"You take me to see it, if that's the case, I'll do my best to help you!" Yitong said, taking Zixuan's hand and wanting to move forward.
"Really?!" the leader looked at her with delight, "Great! Thank you!"
As he spoke, he knelt down, and the villagers behind him also knelt down one after another.
"Sister..."Zixuan was a little scared, after all, this is a suburb, who knows whether these villagers are good or bad, true or false?
Yitong patted her hand and comforted: "We were robbed by them here, but it is better to help them find out the truth." Besides, with Ruan Zhong here, we don't have to be afraid. ”
After speaking, he winked at Zixuan, Ruan Zhong listened to her words on the side, and he didn't think so, he really used me as a bodyguard!
But the prince only confessed that he wanted to follow Yitong well, Ruan Zhong thought about it carefully, that is, the meaning of the bodyguard, and followed honestly.
After walking for a while, I came to the village, which was originally a small village, there was a ruined temple at the head of the village, and as far as the eye could see, the fields were full of ruined scenes.
Approximately the planted herbs have been harvested, and all kinds of stumps have fallen and become entangled in the ground.
"What are the symptoms of illness in your village?" Yitong turned around and asked Lin Yuhui, who was the leader.
The latter looked horrified and said, "It's terrible!" each of them seemed happy, but soon began to have a headache and dizziness, and liked to talk nonsense, and then vomited again. In the end, he slowly died. ”
As he spoke, he had palpitations.
Yitong was also frightened, this is clearly a symptom of poppy poisoning!
"Fearing the spread of this plague, we burned the corpses. Lin Yuhui's face was extremely sad, in his opinion, the body was burned, which means that it can no longer rest in peace.
Yitong turned around solemnly: "Take me to your field and have a look." ”
Lin Yuhui hurriedly cleaned up the color of the pain and took them to the field, Yitong squatted down, and looked intently at the leaves and rhizomes of the plant, sure enough, it was a poppy.
She couldn't have imagined that the poppies had spread here, and it was estimated that the son who asked them to help them plant them was not a good person, and this kind of thing, once it spread, would be unimaginable.
Ruan Zhong naturally didn't know this herb, but when he saw Yitong's solemn expression, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Miss Hitomi, what is this?"
Hitomi glanced at him and signaled that he would talk later.
He turned to Lin Yuhui and said, "Do you need a petition to file a complaint? I wrote this for you." ”
When everyone heard this, they cheered in unison and knelt down one after another, and Yitong had to help them up one by one: "Folks, please go home, but remember that everyone must hand over this herb in their private collection, and you must not taste it yourself." and this field shall be burned again. ”
Lin Yuhui hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, girl, we will definitely do the same." ”
Yitong asked the villagers for pen and ink, and wrote down the paper with a swagger, Ruan Zhong stood aside, I really didn't expect that Scholar Chu was the most learned person in the world, but the word Miss was really 。。。。。 It's miserable to write.
Yitong didn't know what Ruan Zhong thought, so he carefully sealed the paper and handed it to Lin Yuhui.
Yitong took Zixuan back, leaned on the carriage, and pondered.
Zixuan cautiously asked, "Sister, is there something wrong with the herbs?"
Yitong looked at Zixuan and nodded with a solemn expression: "Actually, that plant can be said to be a herb, or it can be said to be highly poisonous." ”
"Poisonous?" Zixuan was frightened, and even Ruan Zhong, who was driving, was stunned.
"Yes. A small amount of opium poppy can be used to treat dysentery, and it also has an anesthetic effect. But with long-term use, it will become addictive, so that they will become addicted to it and cannot get rid of it. And if you use too much at one time, you will die. The symptoms are what Village Chief Lin said. Hitomi explained word by word.
"That... Those villagers were not infected with the plague at all, but poisoned?" Zixuan had followed Yitong for so long, and now her reaction was very fast.
"Yes. The villagers didn't know it, thinking that they were infected with the plague because they were alive. I guess the dead villagers just hid some poppies and tried to eat some of them themselves. Looking at Yitong's serious and serious appearance, Zixuan felt for the first time that she was really an omniscient person, and a sense of admiration arose.
Zixuan also wanted to make some words of worship, but the carriage stopped, and Ruan Zhong said outside, "It's here." ”
Zixuan lifted the curtain, jumped down first, and helped Yitong get out of the car.
When he entered the door, he saw a man sitting in the hall, and a richly dressed man stood beside him.
Seeing the three of them, the man turned around, his eyebrows were clear, but his eyes were sharp, and he looked at Yitong presumptuously.
