The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 612 Am I Poisoned?

In this short period of time, Xinguo has expanded too fast. Guangling County in the north is already very broad. Now, with the plain part of Hejian County in the west and Shuibo County in the south, the entire Minxin Lake is basically in place. within the control of the new country.

This kind of expansion is like a sudden explosive expansion. For Xinguo, although civil servants have been sent, the popularity of the people is too low. Governance will be a big problem in the short term. If the people's hearts are not improved, what kind of local murders , Chicken crowing dog stealing, will not be cut off at all.

The prerequisite for prosperity is stability, and amnesty is necessary.

The other one happened to be the marriage contract between Guan Yu and the righteous concubine, this was the first time Ren Tian was a matchmaker.

After the imperial decree, the action is very fast. Feng Changlai, who is in charge of etiquette, is in charge, and Taile Han'e, who is under his jurisdiction, also needs to come forward to play.

All in all, this wedding was still very grand, and many common people also witnessed this scene.

Guan Yu put on the big red robe, and the righteous concubine also changed into a bride's attire. In the house of Guan's mansion, all the lights and festoons were decorated, making it look extremely festive.

Finally, according to the procedure in ancient times, everything was over, and Guan Yu successfully welcomed the righteous concubine to the Guan mansion.

As for making troubles in the bridal chamber, this is not the case. First, because the rest of the generals are still fighting outside, no one can make troubles. The second is, who dares to make troubles in Guan Yu's bridal chamber?

After one night passed, the righteous concubine officially became Mrs. Guan.

……

The new country's foreign conquests are still going on.

Guangling County.

In the farmland near the newly occupied city, you can also see many doctors organizing local people to cook medicine. There is a big pot in the middle of the village, which is so steaming that even the autumn wind can't blow away the smell of medicine.

There are also some special protection soldiers beside the doctor. In this village, almost all the local villagers are concentrated here, with sick faces, but looking at these Xinguo doctors and soldiers, their eyes are full of indifference.

The doctor was still boiling the antidote. Finally, looking at the antidote in the cauldron, it was almost finished. He looked up at the villagers and said loudly: "Okay, everyone starts to line up, bring bowls, drink Give these antidote, and your plague will be healed."

There are officers and soldiers of the Xin Kingdom all around, and there is a notice at the head of the village not far away, and you can also see the government documents of the nearby county towns posted, which are exactly the contents of promoting the antidote.

"Everyone come here."

Those villagers procrastinated and refused to go. Under the scolding of some officers and soldiers, finally a few sick and messy villagers were forced to go.

"Okay, drink the antidote and the plague will be cured."

The official picked up the spoon and prepared to scoop some potion.

But at this moment, a child said loudly: "Don't drink, don't drink, those are poisons, they want to poison us to death!"

The middle-aged woman next to her was terrified when she heard that, she directly covered her child's mouth, and looked at the officers and soldiers of the Xin Kingdom in horror.

The villagers at the front also let go of the bowls as if they were electrocuted, backed away in horror, and looked at the Xinguo doctor's eyes as if they were looking at ghosts and gods.

There were already a few Xin Guo soldiers who were walking towards the child, and the surrounding villagers were all terrified.

The mother didn't care about anything else, she just knelt down and cried bitterly: "Please, don't kill my child, my child didn't do it on purpose, he was talking nonsense, nonsense, please!"

A small official of the Xin Kingdom who was present walked over, told the soldiers of the Xin Kingdom to back away, and stood in front of the woman.

"You get up first."

"No, no, my son didn't do it on purpose, not on purpose."

The woman was also trembling, prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise her head at all.

"look at me."

The woman raised her head tremblingly, and the surrounding villagers also watched this scene in silence, with numbness and emptiness in their eyes.

This petty official from Xinguo was very young, probably only in his twenties, but he was obviously wearing an official uniform, and he was considered a scholar.

The little official looked at the villagers around him, and then at the woman: "Don't worry, I didn't say I'm going to kill someone, but I have to explain this matter clearly to you."

"Before I came, did you have a plague here, and many people died in your village?"

The woman nodded in trepidation.

"Very well, if I want to kill the people in your village, why should I bring people here? You must know that there is a plague in your village, what if we are infected with the plague? Why can't I wait for you to die directly ?”

With such a simple question, the surrounding villagers, including this woman, were a little stunned, as if they hadn't thought about it.

The little official smiled, squatted down, and looked at the child: "Son, who told you these words?"

The child was also a little scared, and took a step back: "Yes, Uncle Wang from the village told me."

"Oh, is that Uncle Wang still there?"

"No, he died. Uncle Wang and his family's dog both got this disease, and they were buried in a centralized place before."

The clerk nodded: "Then why do you think that is poison?"

The child said: "Because you destroyed our country, our country is gone, you attacked us just for our land, and you will definitely kill us. These are what Uncle Wang said."

The little official smiled: "My child, I was wrong. We attacked your country, but we don't want your land. Have you seen the rice outside the village?"

The surrounding villagers looked to the side, and saw that the golden ears of wheat were densely packed in the field, and the autumn wind blew by like wind blowing wheat waves.

"We haven't harvested those rice yet. We are waiting for you to harvest it yourself. After all, winter is coming soon. How can we survive without food?"

The little official stood up: "It's understandable for you not to believe us, so let me demonstrate it myself."

All the villagers looked at him and walked to the side of the big vat. The doctor gave him a bowl of antidote, and he held the bowl of antidote and looked at the villagers.

"Okay."

As he said that, the little official drank the bowl of traditional Chinese medicine slowly. After drinking it, he frowned. The medicine was really, really bitter.

"Okay, I'm done drinking."

The little official put down the bowl: "You can take a look at me, whether I have been poisoned or not."

After waiting for several minutes, the little official was still standing there intact, and the surrounding villagers began to whisper.

"Everyone, although I am a native of Xinguo, and Xinguo has taken down your country, Xinguo treats its people regardless of the country. This time, it is an order from His Majesty Xinguo to do our best to save you. From now on, you will be Xinguo. People from the country. The antidote is here, and I will not force you, I can only say that if you drink the antidote, you will be able to survive, but if you do not drink the antidote, you will most likely not be able to survive.”

After a while, the villager next to him walked over cautiously: "I, I want the antidote."

The clerk smiled and stepped aside, and the doctor scooped a bowl of antidote for him.
