Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Man-Made Plague

Yang Zongheng returned to Leizhou and went straight to the Leizhou Law Museum.

At this time, the Leizhou Law Museum has been renovated, and there are all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, and I don't know where Su Jiaoren got so much money.

Yang Zongheng originally wanted to raise a sum of money to help, but he was entangled in various things, and he didn't help, and he got into a lot of trouble.

But now is not the time to sigh, he needs to find Su Jiaoren to understand the situation in Leizhou.

was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a person behind him shouting: "Yang Zongheng?"

Yang Zongheng looked back and saw that it was Su Jiaoren.

This man really can't help but chatter.

Su Jiaoren stepped forward and gave Yang Zongheng a punch and said with a smile: "That kid said that you will come back in two days, and that's right." ”

"Who's that kid?" Yang Zongheng wondered.

As he was talking, he heard a familiar hungry voice say, "That kid is me." ”

Chu Yunlou walked out from a corner and said, Yang Zongheng looked at Chu Yunlou with wide eyes. Chu Yunlou said: "Don't be so surprised, it's not that I guessed that you were going back to Leizhou, it's someone else." ”

Yang Zongheng's brows furrowed even tighter: "There are still people?"

Chu Yunlou said: "That person said that when you come back, you will definitely ask what the situation in Leizhou is now, so I get up early every day and go to investigate, this is the third day." ”

"Who the hell is it?"

Chu Yunlou glanced at Yang Zongheng with disgust and said, "I don't know if you don't understand the amorous style or say that you are stupid, who else will put you at ease except Miss Liu?"

"She?" Yang Zongheng was a little surprised, and then said a little worriedly, "Why don't you go with her?"

Chu Yunlou said unhappily: "It's already interesting for me to accompany her to Leizhou, okay, besides, someone is protecting the eldest lady, don't worry." ”

"Anyone else?"

The two of them, one black and one white, said that Miss Liu was their sect master's wife, and Miss Liu did not deny it, and let them follow her. ”

Hearing this, Yang Zongheng understood, those two people must be Wutou Cliff and Bai Ri Xun, how could these two goods come to Leizhou.

There are these two people in Yang Zongheng is even more worried, now all families have sent mages to Leizhou, these two people have a common enmity with the eight major families and the sea clan, and it is easy to make trouble.

So Yang Zongheng immediately boarded the magic wheel and flew towards Leizhou City, Chu Yunlou didn't want to go, but he was eating and drinking in the Leizhou Law Museum to think of himself as Yang Zongheng's close friend, Yang Zongheng went, he didn't go a little unreasonable, so he reluctantly jumped on Yang Zongheng's magic wheel.

The two of them searched for Liu Xiaoxiao and others in the sky above Leizhou, and finally saw the three of them arguing with several mages in white robes at the gate of the official office.

Sure enough, he was afraid of something, and seeing that he was about to make a move when he saw the Aconitum Cliff and Bai Rixun, Yang Zongheng hurriedly stopped it.

Liu Xiaoxiao saw that Yang Zongheng's face was first happy, and then immediately returned to a cold expression.

Aconitum Cliff and Bai Rixun ran to Yang Zongheng in a hurry, and Bai Rixun smiled and said: "Sect Master, you are finally here, but it doesn't matter if you don't come, I will solve these stinky fish and rotten shrimp at once, and I won't hurt the sect master's wife." ”

Yang Zongheng looked at the mages opposite, and the mages whispered a few words, and reluctantly hugged his fist at Yang Zongheng and turned his head and walked into the yamen.

It seems that Old Man Qin's letter still works.

Several people returned to the Leizhou Law Museum, and Su Jiaoren asked people to arrange a room for several people to rest, and then a group of people gathered together to study what was going on in Leizhou.

Liu Xiaoxiao recounted the investigation in the past few days.

Liu Xiaoxiao has studied pharmacology since she was a child, so as soon as she came to Leizhou, she immediately went to check on the patients.

It was found that although the patients only showed some symptoms of typhoid fever, they quickly developed shortness of breath and suffocated to death within a few days.

And those doctors came and went, but they couldn't find the crux of the problem, and those mages who were proficient in medicine stones only said that they had no choice, so they nested in the yamen all day long.

This made Liu Xiaoxiao very suspicious, those mages have always been very high-spirited, let them say in front of those ordinary doctors that they had no choice, it was better to kill him, and now they even said that their medical skills were not good, and they were still blushing and heartbeating.

So Liu Xiaoxiao thought that there must be something inside.

But she didn't want to wronged the good people, so she went to the yamen to see if the mages were really studying the disease.

As a result, in the yamen, she saw that those mages were surrounded by warblers and swallows, and in front of them were fine wine and delicacies, all with oily mouths and lewd eyes.

At this time, Liu Xiaoxiao was discovered by them, and there was a scene of confrontation with those mages in the yamen.

In the end, Liu Xiaoxiao came to the conclusion that this plague had nothing to do with those mages.

As to why they did it, it is unknown.

But the reason is not the main problem at this time, and saving people is now a top priority.

It was getting late, and everyone went back to rest.

Yang Zongheng looked at the south and looked a little worried, Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at Yang Zongheng and looked out the window and said: "Uncle and aunt are fine, the entire Wandering Island has not been affected by this epidemic, you can rest assured." ”

Yang Zongheng was a little surprised and a little grateful, surprised that Liu Xiaoxiao could see that he was worried about his parents, and was grateful that she had done what she should have done before herself.

For a while, Yang Zongheng wanted to say something of thanks, but he didn't know how to speak.

After a long time, Yang Zongheng spoke: "How did you come to Leizhou." ”

"Just go around. ”

Yang Zongheng had already learned from Chu Yunlou that Liu Xiaoxiao was here specifically for him, and when he saw Liu Xiaoxiao say this, he could only pretend to be stupid.

"What about Aconitum Cliff and White Sun Smoke, how did you encounter it?"

Liu Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud. Seeing Yang Zongheng looking at him in surprise, Liu Xiaoxiao's face turned red, and then she said: "A few days ago, we passed through Lindu and were eating, and suddenly heard a panic outside, Chu Yunlou likes to watch the excitement, and I am afraid that he will make some trouble, and the security will go out, only to see two people in tattered clothes, being chased by a team of officers and soldiers, at first I didn't recognize these two people, but when they saw me, they hurriedly shouted, 'Mrs. Sect Master, save us'." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but glance at Yang Zongheng, her face flushed slightly, and then said: "I took a closer look, it turned out to be Wutou Cliff and Bai Rixun, at this time, the officers and soldiers had already pushed them to the ground, and I rushed to the street to rob people, so I went to find Lord Zhang, and later Lord Zhang came forward and released these two people." ”

Yang Zongheng frowned and said, "These two people are both Heavenly Mages, how could they be caught by a few small soldiers?"

Liu Xiaoxiao thought about it and replied: "I also asked them, and they just said that they wanted to use a spell to escape, but those soldiers suddenly threw a bag of powder on them, and they felt uncomfortable, and they couldn't cast the spell, so they had to run away." ”

This reminded Yang Zongheng of the scene when he met King Liang on the outskirts of Lindu City, and King Liang and Zhang Ben must have been studying something that could restrain spells.

Moreover, this matter has to be carried out in secret, and they can't let the Legalists know, so they naturally can't use the Legalists' mages to do experiments, so they can only make a fuss about those wild mages.

A wild mage is a mage who does not have any background and practices alone.

Although Wutou Cliff and Bai Rixun are the mages of the first-line sect, but now that the first-line sect has declined, they are almost the same as the wild law, so King Liang and Zhang Ben will use that kind of medicine on them.

Yang Zongheng thought about it and immediately came out to Bai Rifu's room.

Bai Rixun was forced to get up from the bed, and when he opened the door, he saw Yang Zongheng and said reluctantly: "What's the matter, Sect Master." ”

Yang Zongheng said: "When Zhang Ben let you go, did he want you to keep any secrets?"

When Bai Rixun heard this, his hand rubbing his eyes immediately stopped, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "Secret? What is the secret? He let me go for the sake of Miss Liu, and of course, the sect master, your face." ”

Seeing Yang Zongheng's suspicious face, Bai Rixun avoided Yang Zongheng's eyes, walked to the table and poured water, and said: "I didn't know that Sect Master, you were so popular, and even the imperial court had good friends, it seems that the revitalization of our first-line sect is hopeful." ”

Bai Rixun wanted to tear the topic away, but Yang Zongheng still stared at him without saying a word, and Bai Rixun couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.

In the end, I couldn't help it, and I didn't drink the water that was poured out, and said helplessly: "Bang bang, who made you the sect master, Lord Zhang did let me keep the secret of our arrest, and he didn't say anything specifically, just said that if someone asked why we were arrested, just say that they were caught by the mage master of the Huang family in Shendu, and don't say anything else." ”

Yang Zongheng frowned and said, "That's it?"

"Of course, what else could there be? In fact, they don't tell us, and we don't say, it's not an honorable thing to be caught. ”

"Then tell me why you suddenly don't use spells. ”

Bai Rixun recalled: "Originally, we took a bag of jewels and were about to leave, and suddenly a few soldiers broke in, then we didn't have time to cast a spell, those soldiers threw a few packets of powder at us, originally I thought it was lime or something, and I didn't feel anything at first, but as soon as I cast the spell, I felt that my whole body was churning, and it seemed to break the body, so we were so scared that we didn't dare to use the spell again, so we had to run out with our extraordinary intelligence and superb martial arts." ”

When Yang Zongheng heard this, he thought about it and asked, "Did Zhang Ben explain what that powder is?"

Bai Ri said: "He just said that the powder was originally used to expel poisonous insects, and he didn't explain much, but those powders did have a sulfur smell." ”

Yang Zongheng muttered to himself: "Zhang Ben is really smart, and he can hide the true medicinal properties. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, so he said to Liu Xiaoxiao: "You said before that those patients were just ordinary typhoid fever?"

Liu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Could it be that someone would hide some kind of poison under this disease, deliberately to make people think it was just a plague?"

Liu Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "I have also considered this possibility, but the only one who can do it so secretly is the Southern Xinjiang Witch Family, and I can't find a reason for them to do so." ”

Yang Zongheng glanced at Liu Xiaoxiao and said, "Then we can only ask the parties." ”
