Chapter 867: First Priority

"Young master, I'll do the rest, I promise not to spill water on my body!" Mo Lun couldn't bear to let Li Zijun continue to serve as a 'coolie', he whispered in Li Zijun's ear.

"We're not sure exactly what's in the well water, but it's a certainty. With your skills, it will be very troublesome once you get into these things, and I advise you not to take risks!" Before Li Zijun could say anything, Karma on the side had already stood up and denied Mo Lun's proposal in disguise.

"Young master, why don't I wrap a piece of cloth on my hand?"

"I don't need it! I'm not a powerless little woman, a few buckets of water are nothing. Hurry up and lead your way!" Li Zijun smiled and gently nudged Mo Lun, and the four of them turned to the next well.

In this way, the four of them searched for one well after another outside the town, and tested one well after another. Although the feet of the four people were not slow, they still walked for nearly three hours after this lap.

"How is it, is the situation bad?" Seeing that Kama and Shamantha were both heavy-faced, Li Zijun's heart suddenly hung in the air.

"All the wells outside the city have been touched without exception, but the strange thing is that although there are things in these waters, these things are unlikely to become the source of disease! What is going on?" Shamantha shook her head and answered Li Zijun's question.

"Mixed poison!" Li Zijun and Kama pondered for a while, and then said these two words in unison.

"Mo Lun, this season, what is the favorite food of Pingyao people, or what is indispensable for sin?" With such a prediction, Li Zijun immediately turned his gaze to Mo Lun.

"A lot, but. By the way, endive! Pingyao people especially like to eat endive at this time! Could it be endive?" Mo Lun slapped his head. Turning to Kama and Shamantha, he asked.

"Quite possibly, but we'd better try some endive!" Shamantha and Kama quickly exchanged opinions. But they weren't quite sure about it, and in the end, they decided to try it first.

"I'll go look for it!" Without waiting for Li Zijun's command, Mo Lun nodded to the three of them and rushed out with an arrow step.

After a while, Mo Lun ran back with two baskets of endive:

"The locals said that the two kinds of endive were slightly different, but they were both varieties that the locals preferred, so I brought some of them. Let's see if that's enough. If it's not enough, I'll pick it up right away!"

"That's enough!" Karma smiled as she took the basket from Morun's hand and immediately began the experiment.

"Sure enough!" After putting the endive in the bucket for a while, Kama and Shamantha each tested the water in the bucket in their own way, and a smile finally appeared on their faces.

"How, can it be cured?"

"Judging from the current situation, it can be cured! It's just that we don't know what this water will react with, and we'd better stop drinking these 'problem water' for the time being!"

"Stop drinking, since the wells outside the town have been tampered with, the town must be no exception. There are almost 10,000 people in this town. Relying solely on transporting water from the outside to the inside, this is not a small difficulty!" After hearing Kama's suggestion, Li Zijun immediately began to think about how to actually operate it, but it was very fast. He frowned.

"It's not easy, but what if I only have three days?"

"Three days, does the head man mean that the well water around here will return to normal in three days?" At this time, a cold light suddenly flashed in Li Zijun's eyes. It's just that this change of his is extremely fast. Aside from Kama, neither Shamantha nor Moren noticed anything unusual in his eyes.

"That shouldn't be a problem! What do you say?"

"We should be able to overcome it in three days!" Mo Lun thought about it for a moment, and nodded affirmatively to Li Zijun and Kama.

"Very well! Now I have three things for you to do:"

"1. Arrange the water transfer, and the head will tell you how to distinguish the 'problem water' in a moment. When you go back, tell the officials in charge of water transfer, and make sure that they ensure the safety of the water transportation, and don't give those bastards with ulterior intentions a chance to poison again!

"Don't worry! I will guarantee that the 'water' delivered this time is absolutely safe!"

"Second, pass on my password, within this month, the surrounding counties are prohibited from buying, selling, and eating any food related to endive, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!"

"Understood!"

"3. Immediately send someone to take care of all nearby water sources, and it is absolutely forbidden for unrelated people to approach, and even if water is used, it can only be fetched by the caretaker. Those who dare to approach the water source for no reason will be killed!"

"Tell my brothers how hard they have worked during this time, and I will definitely not treat them badly. ”

"Yes!" Although Mo Lun nodded yes, he did not leave immediately, and there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Any questions?"

"Nothing else, but to take care of the water source, we have to block the road and take care of the water source, so that Mo Lun didn't continue, but Li Zijun already fully understood what he meant.

"It's because I'm not thinking it through! In this way, you do as much as you can, mainly our own drinking water, and we must take care of it. As for the rest, you'll have to put it aside for now!"

"That's no problem, shouldn't we go back too?" Mo Lun saw that Li Zijun didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and he couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

"Who said we were going back, you go back first, we have to go into the town to have a look. ”

"Young master, haven't you already seen everything around here, the situation in the town is worse than this, there is nothing to see!" Hearing that Li Zijun was going to enter the town, Mo Lun couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Mo Lun!" Li Zijun shouted loudly with a sinking face.

"Yes!" Moren instinctively straightened his back.

"Execute the order! Get out of here for Young Master Ben!"

"Yes!" Moren did not hesitate any longer, and turned and ran, like a rabbit startled by the sound of a gunshot.

"I didn't expect you to have a little prestige in front of your subordinates!" Karma teased, looking at Molun's back.

"Why, chief, do you think they're going to do it today?"

"Lady Shamantha and I both felt that today was the last day that the water medicine would work, and if they didn't do it, their previous efforts would be in vain. So, my wife and I are sure that they will definitely come back tonight!" Kama looked into Li Zijun's eyes and said very surely.

"Won't they choose anywhere else?"

"It's a bit complicated, so it's up to Madame to explain it to you!" Kama smiled and raised her hand to Shamantha.

"If you want to have problems with so many wells at the same time, and it is a continuous attack, it is impossible to rely on medicine alone!"

"What do you mean?" Li Zijun said as he looked at Kama and Shamantha with puzzled faces.

"As far as I and the head man judged, the poisoner had put some kind of material into the well earlier that could react with endive. Usually, this reaction is not too large and generally not easy to attract attention. ”

"Catalysts? Are you trying to tell me that the main reason why the epidemic is concentrated is that someone concentrated catalysts into the water during that time period?"

"Catalyst? Don't say, that's an accurate name. That's right, it's a catalytic substance that can speed up and amplify the reaction. It doesn't take too much, but a little bit can make a big difference! Moreover, because the amount used is usually very small, it is also very convenient to put in. ”

"It's just that this 'catalyst' has a flaw, and its efficacy will gradually diminish over time until it disappears completely!"

"So, someone needs to keep putting 'catalysts' into the water! Are you going to let me have a 'Touch the Vine'?" Li Zijun asked as he looked at the two of them.

"The leader and I both think that tonight is an opportunity, as long as we succeed in catching the poisoner, the rest will be easy!"

"But if that's the case, I shouldn't have announced those orders to Morun, in case we were to squander this rare opportunity tonight!"

"'Disaster relief' is our first priority at present, and as for whether or not we can successfully find out who is behind the scenes, that is still second! Therefore, those orders must be announced immediately!"

"As for what you said about 'striking the grass and startling the snake', in fact, from the moment we appeared here, we had already beaten the grass and frightened the snake. Based on this, I will think that your few orders can stabilize the other party!"

"You're saying that when they learn that we can't monitor all the wells around us, they naively think this is an opportunity?"

"Isn't it?!You know, tonight is the last chance for both of us! If they don't come tonight, they'll never be here again! We'll have a hard time finding them again! In that case, I'm more inclined to believe that they'll come!"

"Is it worth it just to embarrass me?"

"The opportunity to embarrass the 'Dongyu Military God' is not always available!I don't know about the others, but if it were me, I would definitely be willing to give everything I could to make this last bet!"

"Why don't I make a bet with the prince?"

"Count me in!" Shamantha stepped in.

"Hearing you say that, I also think they should be coming! It's just that you say, will they choose to do it inside the town or outside the town?" Li Zijun knew very well that he would win or lose a bet with these two women, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Cunning!" Karma couldn't say anything about Li Zijun, but Shamantha didn't have so many scruples, and she ruthlessly exposed Li Zijun's 'tricks'! )
