Chapter 147: Stubbornness

"To tell you the truth, Poor Dao is reluctant to contact you, too stubborn and not afraid of life and death. ”

—————

Chi Zheng took off the face towel that served as a mask, revealing a face that surprised Liao Tingyu, "But Lord Liao, the purpose of the poor road is the same as yours, they both want to save the people of Li from fire and water, you also know that the plague has spread among the displaced people, and if you don't think about it as soon as possible, once it spreads, I don't know how many people will die." ”

Liao Tingyu remained silent: "The official has verified that the fan is really him, not a pretend, this is strange, when Song Yu came, the official also understood that there was not enough success and more than failure, how could he catch the fan ear." So under the interrogation, it became clear that it was you, the Taoist priest, who did it. ”

"It is indeed this person who was taken by the poor road. ”

Chi Zheng admitted frankly.

"This official doesn't want to ask you about your purpose," Liao Tingyu said indifferently, "Since you can avoid anyone coming here, you also have the ability, say, what do you want to do?"

"Lord Liao, you don't have to doubt that Poor Dao has no intention of harming you, but he can't bear the people to suffer this calamity so he deliberately took action. ”

Chi Zheng took out the rune paper of the resurrection spell from his arms, and the golden mangs born of the flames kept circulating on the rune paper, and at a glance, he knew that it was not a mortal thing.

That Liao Tingyu was also shocked by the rune paper, stared at it, and listened to Chi Zheng's explanation on the side.

"So, Taoist priest, do you want to make it convenient for you to let the people drink your talisman water?"

Liao Tingyu asked rhetorically.

"It is not the convenience of walking the poor road, but the convenience of you, Lord Liao, as long as Lord Liao gives permission, the people can be saved. ”

"Haha, ridiculous. ”

Liao Tingyu suddenly smiled, and then lowered his face: "Let's not talk about whether your rune water is really effective, even if it is wonderful, this official will not believe it...... Most of you monks are abducted and deceived, defrauding people of money, and do not produce, which harms the country but does not benefit anything. Let you, a Taoist priest of unknown origin, make trouble here, and make thousands of people drink your talisman water, do you think this official will believe it?"

Chi Zheng felt that it was tricky, this Liao Tingyu was very stubborn, and he was extremely hateful to the monks, even if Chi Zheng showed his spell in front of Liao Tingyu, I am afraid that it would not attract him to bow down, but would suspect that he had another purpose.

"In that case, why did Lord Liao arrest Lin Yizheng and the others?"

"Huh?"

Liao Tingyu listened to Chi Zheng's story and frowned: "This official has never ordered the arrest of the doctor and the medicine director of Huimin Pharmacy, just take you alone." ”

Chi Zheng nodded, although this old man Liao is stubborn, he is not a corrupt bureaucrat, of course, he is not a good official in the ordinary sense, this can be seen from his practice of killing one person and saving ten people, as long as the goal can be achieved, some people will not be soft-hearted.

With this sentence, Lin Yizheng and the others will be fine, but ......

Lin Yizheng's rune water is obviously not usable, this Liao Tingyu is here, it is impossible to promote rune water to homeless patients on a large scale in a short period of time, but it is forced to do it, which will cause trouble for Lin Yizheng and others.

"Then Lord Liao, do you still want to win the poor road now?"

Chi Zheng took a step forward and looked directly at Liao Tingyu.

Liao Tingyu didn't have anything to say this time, he remained silent.

Chi Zheng took a few steps back and retied the black scarf, "Poor Dao has no intention of being an enemy of Lord Liao. ”

Liao Tingyu snorted.

He is not a hard-mouthed person, everyone else has sneaked into the study, and if he still says that he will take down others, he is a fool.

"Unfortunately, it backfired. ”

Chi Zheng sighed softly, and there seemed to be echoes in the study, but there was no one.

Liao Tingyu was silent for a while before shouting, "Someone." ”

......

Chi Zheng returned to Huimin Pharmacy as quickly as possible, and the officers and soldiers lying on the ground in the courtyard made Lin Yizheng very sad, and when he saw Chi Zheng come back, he immediately stepped forward.

"Lin Yizheng, Poor Dao has already told Du Yushi, he won't embarrass you," Chi Zheng paused, "It's just those runic water ......"

"Yes, is there any problem?"

Doctor Lin's heart tightened.

"I'm afraid it can't be used like before. ”

Chi Zheng said: "Lin Yizheng, those talismans will stay with you, but don't use them publicly, after that, the imperial history of the capital is estimated to send someone to inspect it, you also answer carefully, don't leave the truth." ”

"Dao Chief, you ......"

"Poor Dao can't stay here anymore. ”

Chi Zheng glanced back, "Otherwise, you will be implicated." ”

Doctor Lin was sighing, and he knew that the matter had come to this point.

Chi Zheng packed up his things, took the "grapes" out, waved goodbye to Lin Yizheng, and asked the tail to wake up those officers and soldiers in a quarter of an hour.

But he didn't leave the city just yet, but went around and returned to a courtyard, which was the residence where Fan Feng'er and Yuan Xiaozi were arrested.

This place is very secluded, and no one comes to disturb him, he stays here, if Liao Tingyu regrets it, he will not be able to find him for a while.

In the next few days, Chi Zheng would go out to take a look from time to time.

Looking at this, I can't help but sigh, they are also officials, and the difference between this person and people is too great.

Compared with the efficiency of the Song prefect's office, Liao Tingyu's work efficiency has increased more than a hundred times, and he quickly cut through the chaos, first in just two days, he not only rebuilt a new camp, but also separated 780,000 displaced people, and sent all the sick to the new camp for demarcation and isolation.

Then the food brought with them was distributed for disaster relief to reassure the hearts of the displaced people.

Finally, the local gentry were convened to negotiate, not only Chi Zheng's previous arrangement, but also Liao Tingyu's prestige, in just half a day, he gathered 100,000 stone of grain, after all, the land here is rich, not as short of water as the north and natural disasters are continuous, and gathering 100,000 stone of grain is not enough for these gentry and Haoqiang.

With so much food, the hearts of the army and the people can be used, and Liao Tingyu's orders are all unimpeded, and there are no disobedient people.

This is the good side, and the bad side is that, as Chi Zheng knew before, Liao Tingyu isolated the patients separately, and in order to prevent the patients from rushing to the camp, he set up ditches to prevent horses and guards with the army, and treated them as if they were enemies. Moreover, Liao Tingyu believes that the sick person is suffering from the plague, and there is basically no cure, so there is no need to waste food, and the food should be used by the healthy living, so as to let the old, weak, sick and disabled be isolated and wait for death, and not even give a drop of soup.

......

Day 4.

Liao Tingyu walked slowly into the camp surrounded by officials and generals around him, and with his order, the living conditions in the camp improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he no longer sat on the ground as before, at least there was a shed to shelter from the cold wind.

He also hanged more than 40 people, and their heads were hung next to the camp to deter the officials who stretched out their hands to take bribes, and those who dared to mix mud in the porridge disappeared for a while.

In the distance, more than a dozen large cauldrons sit on the stove, and the pots are steaming under the cold of winter.

In front of each pot, two officers and soldiers laboriously held wooden sticks and kept stirring the porridge and water in the pot.

In the past, it didn't have to be so laborious, it was all some clear soup with little water, what to stir?

Now it's different.
