Chapter 196: Corpse Poison

Gu Ze and Xiao Jingning's marriage was arranged half a month later.

The palace people in the palace were all busy for their marriage.

On the other hand, the Regent's Mansion is as if nothing happened.

The people were no different from the usual, as if they were the ones who wanted to take wives, and not their princes.

Jinyun came out of the city.

I was still thinking about how to find someone who had the plague.

But as soon as she walked out of the city gate, she saw a large number of depressed people, who were stopped outside.

Jin Yun's gaze swept over everyone's bodies.

Finally, his eyes fell on a very weak old man.

"Uncle, you see that you are seriously ill, why didn't you go to the doctor?"

"Look, the doctor in the town can't see why he came, so he thought about coming to the capital for treatment."

The old man looked in the direction of the city gate and sighed softly.

"But the guards of the city said, 'We have a plague, and they will not let us go into the city.'"

I really didn't have the strength to go back, so I had to sit here and wait to die. ”

"I know some healing skills, can you show me?"

"You're a doctor?"

The old man's eyes lit up.

But after seeing Jinyun nodding, he shook his head again.

"Little girl, you are too young to be cured of this disease. I don't want to give you my illness, you go back soon. ”

"I'm not afraid, and I'm confident in healing!"

As he spoke, Jinyun squatted down in front of him and handed his hand in front of him.

The old man hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his hand.

Jinyun put his fingers on his pulse.

Spiritual power flowed down her fingertips and poured into the old man's body.

But in an instant, the old man felt that his body had regained some strength.

"Little girl, you ...... What did you do? Why does it only take a moment for me to feel more energetic? ”

"I didn't do anything, maybe you've been resting here for a long time, maybe you've eased up a little!"

Jinyun withdrew his hand.

"Uncle, I want to go to the place where you live, can you show me the way?"

"Yes, of course!"

The old man nodded and slowly got up from the ground.

Although the little girl in front of him didn't admit it, she helped him regain his strength.

But he knew in his heart that he could recover his strength, and it was definitely not something that had rested for a long time and eased up.

The little girl didn't admit it, there must be her reason, and he didn't ask much.

He raised his hand and pointed ahead.

"Girl, my house is not far ahead, I'll take you there."

The old man said that it was not far, but in fact he walked for nearly an hour.

Jinyun followed closely behind him, for fear that he would be physically exhausted.

Fortunately, the old man was unharmed all the way.

The place where the old man lives is not a village.

The farmhouses here are all built on both sides of the path, so you can see a family far away.

"Girl, this is my home."

Hearing this, Jinyun turned his head to look around.

The wind here is clear and cloudy, and there is no trace of black gas to be found, which is obviously not the work of plague ghosts.

"Uncle, are there still people around here who are sick with the epidemic?"

"Yes!" The old man nodded: "Almost all the people in our neighborhood have the epidemic. ”

As the old man spoke, Jinyun looked nearby.

Soon, she found a well a few feet away from her house.

She had just arrived at the well when a smell of corpses wafted out of it.

"Uncle, do you usually drink well water?"

"Yes, where we live, it is not convenient to get water. Almost every other distance, there is a well.

The people in our neighborhood usually drink water from this well. ”

"But all the sick people drink from this well?"

"Not exactly."

The old man shook his head.

"Our people are far away. At intervals, there is a well.

This well is also drunk by these nearby families. But it's not just our family that's sick. ”

Jinyun's eyes rolled, and he did not dispel his suspicions about the well.

Although not all of the people who got sick were people who drank the water from this well, the groundwater was open.

If there is a problem with the well water, the groundwater will be polluted.

At first, it was a few, and slowly extended to a dozen, dozens of them.

Even if the gates of the city were strictly guarded, and those infected with the epidemic would not be allowed to enter the city.

As long as the problem of well water is not solved, the capital will be lost sooner or later!

Use this trick to force the people to besiege the regent palace.

The people behind this are really ruthless!

"Uncle, do you know where this epidemic began?"

"I don't know the specifics, I just know that the disease started from the east."

As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and pointed to the east.

Jinyun glanced in the direction he was pointing, then retracted his gaze.

"I know, thank you, uncle!"

Jinyun turned around and wanted to leave.

I had just taken a few steps when I suddenly remembered something.

She paused, turned her head to look at the old man, and advised, "Uncle, you rest at home first."

If you are thirsty, don't drink the water from the well until I come back. ”

"Does the girl really have a way?"

The old man's eyes lit up, and the eyes that looked at Jinyun were overflowing with hope.

Jinyun bowed his head slightly and responded.

Although this matter is a bit troublesome, it is not impossible to solve.

It's just that she can't do it alone, she needs to go back and find a helper!

The words fell, and Jinyun disappeared in front of the old man.

The old man's eyes widened, and he slowly bent his knees and knelt down.

"It's a fairy, the fairy has descended to earth, we are saved!"

When Jinyun returned home, Zhao Yi and Zhao Qian were both there.

She hurried up to them and told them everything about the plague outside the city and her speculations.

When Zhao Qian heard this, his eyes widened.

"You mean, someone poisoned the well water?"

"It's not poisoning, it's corpse poison!" Jinyun corrected: "I was next to the well water and smelled a corpse smell.

I suspect that someone threw the corpse into the well water, producing a large amount of corpse poison. ”

"What do you need us to do?"

The person who spoke was Zhao Yi.

He has lived more than ten years longer than Zhao Gan, and his experience is richer than Zhao Gan.

Hearing Jinyun's words, he knew that this girl needed their help.

Jinyun's eyes bent, and he smiled: "I want to ask my father and eldest brother to do a small favor." ”

As soon as Jin Yun said his plan, Zhao Gan's face immediately changed.

He swallowed his saliva and looked at Jinyun helplessly.

"Little Liu, what misunderstanding do you have about Xiao Busy? Mobilizing the army without authorization is a crime full of beheadings! ”

"It's true that this is not a trivial matter, but it can't be left to the people." Zhao Yi stood up suddenly: "Zhao Qian listens to the order!" ”

Zhao Yi held the sword in his hand, and his expression was very serious.

Seeing that he was about to give a military order, Zhao Gan quickly stood up and clenched his fists at him.

"The last general!"

"This matter can't be delayed, you quickly take someone outside the city to investigate. The emperor was there, and General Ben personally went on a trip.

I believe that although the emperor is young, he will be a sensible king, and he will not disagree with our transfer of troops! ”
