"My lord, this is found from today's corpse. If it was just one person who found it, several of them had these pieces of cloth on them, and the subordinates thought it was a little strange, so they brought it over and asked the adults to take a look. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Gongjin walked to the table and saw several pieces of cloth of the same style spread out on the table, made of linen, with neat incisions, obviously cut with a knife. The whole piece of cloth is only half the size of a palm, and there are no words on it, so if you don't pay attention, you will think that this is just some leftover scraps used by some tailors.

Just a tailor's scrap...... How could it be in the quarantine area of the plague? Coincidentally, every corpse of the victim died?

The linen cloth was rough to the touch, and the threads were not as tight as cotton or silk, but he felt that the matter was as if it were an impregnable wall, and it was difficult to penetrate.

"It's like ...... The straps on the arms of the victims?" Zhou Gongjin looked at Conley and asked.

Conley also pinched a piece, frowned and thought about it, and nodded his hand: "My lord, that's right, this piece of cloth was indeed cut from the strap." ”

Zhou Gongjin nodded, when Qiao Feifan diagnosed and treated the plague disease, he would divide the patients into various batches, and the suspected patients would tie a white cloth belt on their arms, and those who were diagnosed with the epidemic but not serious would use a gray cloth belt, and those who were obviously in a critical condition and whose symptoms had already occurred on the surface of the body would be tied with a black cloth belt.

Over time, there was a saying in the camp that if a person changed from gray cloth to black, it was basically branded as "death".

This argument is not unfounded.

After all, in the days when the supply of koi flowers has been cut off, the condition of many patients with mild symptoms has not been treated and controlled, let alone those with serious illnesses.

Zhou Gongjin thought for a moment, seemed to think of something, and his voice was a little cold: "Conley, assign a few trustworthy brothers and let them secretly check those seriously ill patients to see if they can find a piece of black cloth." ”

"Yes. Conley arched his hand and said suspiciously, "My lord, do you see something?"

Zhou Gongjin said with a solemn face: "I hope I guessed wrong, but if I didn't guess wrong......

He shook his head, thinking that he should not be too sure about this matter for now, so he did not continue, but just waved his hand and let the old general leave first.

Then he sat down in a chair, closed his eyes, and slowly pinched the bridge of his nose, hoping to relieve his tired eyes these days, Abu lifted the tent cloth and walked in, and asked with concern: "My lord, I just saw General Kang in a hurry, is something wrong?"

Zhou Gongjin raised his head, smiled and changed the topic: "Oh, it's Abu, outside...... How's it going?"

Abu was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows were still a little tired, but his eyes were still bright and scorching: "The merchants in the city who took advantage of the chaos to hoard koi flowers have been arrested, and according to the arrangement of the adults, we have 'invited' them to the inn, and now they are probably all losing their temper." ”

"Let them send it. Zhou Gongjin laughed and said: "Anyway, when the fire is over, you still have to spit out those things in the end." Now disaster relief is the top priority, even if they are backed by wealthy families, this time they will definitely not stand up for them, although Ah Ke has gone into the mountains to find snake gall, but I will never put my eggs in only one basket, I have to get it back, right?"

Abu nodded and said, "That's right, and my husband often says that." ”

"That's ...... After all, I was also a disciple of my husband, but he never admitted it. Saying that, Zhou Gongjin seemed a little embarrassed, coughed, stood up and patted Abu's sturdy shoulder, "It's really hard for you." ”

Abu hurriedly shook his head: "Adults are hard, what do I do...... It's not hard. ”

"That's right......" Zhou Gongjin sighed and muttered to himself: "I'm an adult, you're a child, if you don't do more as an adult, then what is an adult......

After pondering for a while, and finding that Abu was blinking at him, Zhou Gongjin waved his hand and said, "Go, go and rest for a while." Although covering one's mouth and nose can stop the plague, it is not a foolproof solution, and it still depends on one's own health. Don't exhaust yourself, if something happens to you, your tall general and Mr. Zhuge may work together to eat me......"

Abu smiled a little shamefully, and with one hand he had already lifted the curtain of the tent.

Who knows, he just opened the corner of the door curtain, and a hurried figure rushed towards him, and crashed into his arms at once!

It was a sergeant in armor, and the standard of armor and weapons on his body could be seen that his status in the army was very low, and he should be just an ordinary soldier standing guard or patrolling, naturally, he could not have practiced like Abu, so when he hit Abu's chest, it was like hitting a stone wall, and he almost didn't faint.

Abu hurriedly grabbed his arm, looked down and saw the blood on the sergeant's face, startled, and asked urgently, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Gongjin walked over from the table and looked at the soldier with a look of astonishment.

The soldier lifted his crooked helmet, relieved himself slightly, his eyes turned red, and his voice trembled slightly: "My lord......! The patients in Beiying rebelled, more than 1,500 people...... The armory was seized by them, and Lord Kang ...... Master Kang just died at my feet...... The 500 brothers who had come to guard the northern camp heard that they were besieged in the innermost part, and now there were only more than 300 people left at the gate, and they were all ...... are desperately resisting, but ...... It shouldn't last long!"

Abu was shocked and grabbed him by the shoulders, and the soldier, whose legs were trembling from nervousness, almost fell to his knees, and he yelled and asked, "How can this be?"

And Zhou Gongjin just closed his eyes, and said in a calm and slightly tired voice: "It seems that things are still going in the worst direction......"

Those black cloths are indeed a kind of emblem of the union of those desperate patients, but I don't know who came up with such a way to organize the originally scattered victims in such a short period of time, and to act so quickly and decisively.

But that's not what should be considered now.

"Abu. ”

"I'm here. Abu immediately answered.

Zhou Gongjin took out something from his arms and threw it into his hand, "You lead my token, take three thousand armor soldiers to the northern camp, put down the riots, remember, don't let anyone escape from the camp, those who resist, there is no mercy." ”

Glancing at the blackened military proprietary token in his hand, Abu's face was stunned: "There is no forgiveness for killing? Then, those are ordinary people...... It's all patients......"

Zhou Gongjin shook his head and looked at him with heavy eyes: "Since they are determined to rebel, they are naturally no longer my people in Jingwu." ”

Abu also wanted to defend those people one more sentence: "But ......"

"There's nothing!" Zhou Gongjin shouted in a low voice: "Abu! Do what you want! If you don't want to obey orders, you can go back to Jianye now, go back to your Tai Academy, continue to read your sage books, and dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival!"

Abu nodded with some difficulty, his fingers clenched the token in his hand, and the expression on his face slowly turned from pain to solemnity, and every step he took felt extremely heavy.

By the time he arrived at the north camp with his sergeants, the camp was already full of shouts and killings, and he couldn't even believe that these plague patients could be brave enough to do so without seeing it with his own eyes.

They faced the swords and guns, wearing the robbed armor, roaring like wild beasts, at this time, they had put their own life and death on the line, and in the same way, they would not care about the lives of others, one by one, their eyes were red, they swung their knives neatly, and between the knives in their hands, the heads of soldiers constantly flew in front of them into the air.

Most of these resistance at the door are the local troops of Dahe County, although they have a complete set of equipment, but after all, they lack the training of real swords and guns, and more of them are simple farmers who will work hard in the fields during non-war time, and now they have to pick up spears and swords, but in the face of these fierce mobs like wild beasts and fierce ghosts, they are falling behind.

If it weren't for Jing Wu's strict military law, escaping from the battle would have affected the family, but I am afraid that this team of 300 people would have already collapsed and scattered.

"Why do you want to lock us up, if Lao Tzu can't live, you have to bury Lao Tzu!" Among the mob, there are strong people with green tendons bursting out on their foreheads, and the blade of the knife in his hand is steaming with hot blood, he laughed cruelly, shouting and shouting, "Folks! Kill one is enough, kill two to make money! Let these soldiers also see, we can't let people fool at will!"

The mob was furious at this moment, and naturally responded at the same time, they raised their weapons and roared together, like a tidal wave, and crashed head-on into the queue of three hundred sergeants, and in an instant blood splattered on all sides, soaring into the gloomy sky.

"Raise your bow!" Abu stood behind the queue, his voice a little hoarse.

And the three thousand armor soldiers standing here with him, although far inferior to Jing Wu's iron-blooded elite soldiers, are also the elite divisions in the local garrison, they are skillful in raising bows, and their movements are consistent and even have some neat beauty, all of them are silent, their eyes are firm, just waiting for Abu's next order.
