After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

"What kindhearted person?"

After hearing what the woman said, Cheng Jin not only felt pitiful, but also felt that the things involved were suspicious.

The woman seemed to realize that she had made a mistake and immediately covered her mouth. She was a little at a loss. She quickly shook her head and denied, "There are no well-intentioned people, it's just what I said casually."

Saying that, the woman stood up with Xiaomi in her arms.

"Excuse me, sir, for listening to my complaints here. The court has been very kind to us. Not only did they give us a place to live, but they also gave us medicine. We are very grateful. We can't trouble you anymore."

The more he said these words, the more he felt that he was saying these words to make amends. Cheng Jin immediately realized that something was wrong, but this woman was really vigilant.

Cheng Jin glanced at Chu Chengye. Chu Chengye immediately stood up and took Wei An to look for himself: "It's been a long time since I've been out. I'll go back first."

Cheng Jin nodded pretentiously at Chu Chengye. After Chu Chengye left, Cheng Jin followed the woman wherever she went.

The woman couldn't stand it anymore, so she said, "Sir, why have you been following me? If you have anything to do, just do it."

Cheng Jin did not rush to ask. Instead, he gently stroked Xiaomi's forehead in the woman's arms, "I'm just here to check on the situation. There's nothing important."

"Now that you've seen it, you should go back."

Cheng Jin shook his head and said, "I think Xiaomi likes her very much. Why don't you just let me take her away."

Cheng Jin's sudden words made the woman immediately angry and wary. She glared at Cheng Jin: "What are you going to do? Xiaomi is still just a child."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Yes, what can I do with a child?"

"But I see that you don't care about Xiaomi's life. Why don't you just give Xiaomi to me? Maybe if I take her to see a doctor, she can recover faster."

"how is this possible?"

The woman didn't believe it at all. The medicine they took was from the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital. It was prescribed by the person with the highest medical skills in the entire Southern Qi Dynasty. It didn't show any results. How could it be possible that Cheng Jin took it out to see the doctor and it worked.

The woman said: "Xiaomi and I depend on each other, her life is my life, how could I not care about her."

Cheng Jin said: "Since you take it to heart and know that I will help you, then why are you hesitant to deal with some things? Maybe this is the key to cure the disease."

The woman thought Cheng Jin was talking nonsense, so she explained: "He is just a kind person who helps us. How could he be related to the prescription for treating diseases?"

"Besides, I have promised others not to tell anyone else."

Cheng Jin said in a deep voice: "How long have you been talking about this again?"

"It has been many years since there has been such a serious plague in Southern Qi. There are so many deaths, but there is no solution at all. There is no way to know the cause. In a short time, almost all the people in Qingzhou City have been infected with the disease. Don't you think it's suspicious?"

Cheng Jin saw the documents handed over by the Qingzhou magistrate, some of which were true and some false. Cheng Jin guessed that the plague that night was real.

Just as Cheng Jin thought, after hearing Cheng Jin's words, the woman hesitated a little, "It's just a coincidence. It also shows that this epidemic is serious."

"Is it really just a coincidence?" Cheng Jin asked.

The woman couldn't utter any words of denial, and her voice became much lower, "I don't know anything else, but he told us to go to Beijing, where our lives can be saved."

Seeing that the woman was willing to let go, Cheng Jin asked: "He? Who is it?"

The woman thought for a while and said: "An old man with a white beard looked very kind. He told us that if we couldn't stay in Qingzhou anymore, we could go to the capital. At that time, Qingzhou City was peaceful, and we all thought it was the old man. We were so nervous that we didn’t pay attention. It was only when the epidemic came that we remembered what the old man said.”

Old man?

Cheng Jin carefully searched for anyone who might be related in his mind.

"No, it's two people."

Before Cheng Jin could think of it, he heard the woman change her words: "It's two people, and one is a young man. He seems to be pretty good-looking."

The woman spoke categorically, "I saw the old man and the young man drinking tea together in a teahouse. The two seemed to be discussing something, which seemed to be related to some epidemic. I didn't pay attention to what they said at the time. I know they talked about it for a long, long time.”

"Is it possible that this is what you're talking about?"

Cheng Jin suddenly felt as if everything was clear to him.

Yes, there are too many.

If it was just an old man, she might not have a clue, and a young and handsome man might not have much of an impression on her. But if two people appeared together, Cheng Jin could immediately think of who it was.

Chu Huaian and Yan Zheng.

Yan Zheng is not an ordinary person in the book. He changed his name and acted as Chu Huai'an's counselor, and accomplished many things for Chu Huai'an.

I forgot about them.

Only now did Cheng Jin discover that those who came to the capital without illness from Qingzhou City were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, while those who died in Qingzhou City were mostly young and strong generals.

Qingzhou City is already on the border. If the defense force of Qingzhou City is weak, someone will take the opportunity to attack. And in this epidemic, only young and middle-aged people died.

If you look at it this way, then this epidemic really looks like a premeditation.

The soldiers in Qingzhou City died of illness, and most of the people left behind were old people, women, and children. Letting them come to the capital would cause panic in the capital due to the epidemic, and make the court only care about the capital in front of them, and not see that it was only a short distance away from the destruction of the city. Qingzhou is one step away.

The plague cannot be predicted in advance. If it can be known in advance, then it is not a disease, but a conspiracy.

Cheng Jin suddenly had an idea. She looked at the woman in surprise and asked, "Have you taken today's medicine?"

The woman shook her head in confusion, "I was distributing today's medicine just now, but I saw that the millet was coming to you, so I thought I would collect it later, and I haven't eaten it yet."

Cheng Jin immediately said: "Don't take today's medicine yet."

"Why?" the woman asked.

Cheng Jin said: "Isn't it useless to take it for several days? Don't take it today until I go back to get some other medicine."

Although the woman didn't understand, she still nodded, "But the millet is still burning."

Cheng Jin suddenly raised his hand and touched Xiaomi's forehead. It was exactly what she thought, "Xiaomi has no fever now."

The woman also followed Cheng Jin's hand and touched Xiaomi's forehead. It was exactly what Cheng Jin said. She was a little surprised and said: "Really."

Xiaomi, who was already sleeping soundly, showed no signs of fever except for some sweating on his forehead. What was even more strange was that even the red rash that had seemed particularly serious before had disappeared now, and he did not look sick.

The woman raised her head to see what Cheng Jin wanted to say. Cheng Jin asked, "What kind of medicine do you take when you come to the capital?"
