Rebirth of the prosperous male concubine

When I came to Zhengjia Village deep in the forest, I saw that the village was surrounded by layers of wooden fences, and the gate of the village was blocked by a wall built of stones. It was impossible for the people inside to break through the door.

At this time, the village was in darkness, not to mention candles and oil lamps, and there was no one to light a fire.

The woman led them to the small hole she had made, first let the child crawl in, then climbed in herself, and the other side was waiting for them.

Feng Qin frowned, how could he climb this hole?And what is the government doing?Not reporting the epidemic to the imperial court, using this method to make the people wait to die, just for their own merits, it is really light to kill a hundred times.

Back at the Shimen, Feng Qin gathered his internal energy and smashed the Shimen into pieces.

Such a big movement also attracted the attention of the villagers, who came out to check the situation one after another, all of them were sallow and emaciated, and they didn't know how long they hadn't had a full meal.

Feng Qin led the people in, and the woman and the child also ran over staggeringly.

"Who are you?" An elderly man came out and asked while leaning on a cane.

The woman hurriedly introduced to them: "This is Lizheng of our village. Lizheng, this is the chivalrous man I met in the forest."

Li Zheng frowned, "Why did you run into the woods?"

The woman cried again, "Daniu wanted to go outside to have a look, I... I got him out..."

Lizheng's brows were unfurled, "Where's Daniel?"

The woman cried harder.

Li Zheng also understood at this time, and sighed, "Don't cry, you still have a calf to take care of."

The woman wiped away her tears, "Li Zheng, these heroes said they might be able to help us."

Li Zheng looked at a few people and said: "Everyone, don't make enemies of the government for us. Besides, our illness is unknown, if we pass it to a few people, it will be a crime."

Feng Ye frowned, "Are you waiting here to die?"

Anyway, I should try to save myself, right?

Li Zheng nodded helplessly, "We don't want to harm others, let alone where can we go if we go out?"

"You can go to the neighboring city to sue." Feng Ye said.

There are laws in Dasheng. If an official of one party fails to act, he can go to the yamen of the neighboring city to seek justice.Officials in neighboring cities must immediately report to the imperial court for disposal.

"You guys don't know, now that corrupt officials are in power, the prefects of the two neighboring cities here and there have been bribed by the prefect of Yabian. Before that, a girl in Sunjia Village over there was robbed by the son of the prefect's brother-in-law. That family is also stubborn. The local could not sue and went to another place. The prefect of the neighboring city not only ignored it, but also sent people to arrest the parents and younger brothers of the family and take them back to Yabian City. The prefect of Yabian locked them in prison for half a year. At that time, the father of the family was already insane... It's also pitiful."

"It's unreasonable!" Feng Qin was furious. He never advertised himself as righteous, but how could Dasheng Jiangshan allow such a moth to be an official? !

Feng Ye was calmer than Feng Qin, and asked again: "Does the old man know what kind of backing the prefect has? Otherwise, the prefect of the neighboring city shouldn't be so easy to buy, right?"

"I also heard that the prefect and the second prince seem to have some relationship." Lizheng hesitated, but he may have considered that his life was not long, so he continued: "The prefect's brother-in-law's family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I heard that my brother-in-law said when he was drunk that the prefect has a very good fellow student, and now he is a counselor in the second prince's residence, and he is highly valued, so the prefect has nothing to fear."

"So that's it." Feng Ye nodded, and then Song Qi said: "You should see the villagers first, see if it can be cured, and I will arrange the rest."

"Okay." Song Qi had complete trust in Feng Ye, so he asked if anyone in the village still had a fever.

The woman hurriedly said a few things and took the initiative to lead the way.

Jiang Yi also went with Song Qi. Although he may not be able to help, it's good to go and fight.

Feng Qin handed the token to Youxing, and asked him to bring some more people, and then asked Jiang Du to bring someone with his token to arrest the magistrate.

Youxing took the order, followed by two guards, and ran back to work.

After Song Qi's inspection, he asked the surrounding villagers, "Is this disease spreading one after another, or did the patient die for a while or had no contact with the patient at all, and then suddenly fell ill?"

The villagers said: "Some of them were sick one after another. For a while, no one in the village suddenly became sick. Li Zheng originally wanted to report to the government, saying that our village was fine, but he didn't want someone to start getting sick again in a few days."

Song Qi thought for a while, and said: "Generally, the spread of epidemic diseases is relatively fast, and seeing that the families in your village are very close to each other, and it has been so long, and so many people are still safe, it should not be an epidemic. Think about it, before the first person got sick, what happened in the village? Or who came?"

For a moment, the villagers were lost in thought.

At this time, an older woman said "ah" and said, "I remembered!"

Everyone looked at her.

The woman stood up and said: "My husband was the first one to get sick in the village. Three days before he got sick, he picked up an injured man in the back mountain. My husband saw that he was well-dressed and he didn't look like a bad person. He brought him back home, and found a doctor to see him. The doctor said it was a traumatic injury, and he will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine after wrapping up the wound."

"After the man drank the medicine, he woke up that night and thanked our husband and wife, which made us quite embarrassed. He stayed at my house for another day, and he seemed to be fine, so he left a certain amount of money. Gone. The day after he left, my husband fell ill, and I hired a good doctor with the money he left behind, but he still couldn't be saved." The woman said, her eyes also turned red.

Song Qi pondered for a while, found a dagger, cut open the patient's finger and let out a few drops of blood, then took out a bottle the size of a thumb from his pocket, poured out a very small pill and threw it into the blood. After a while, the blood turned into a strange dark green.

"What does this mean?" Jiang Yi pointed to the blood in the cup and asked.

"Turning dark green means it's poisonous," Song Qi said.

"Poisonous?" The villagers were shocked.

"The source of the poison needs to be investigated, and it's not clear what kind of poison it is." Song Qi asked: "Have you invited all the doctors in the city? What kind of doctor did the government invite?"

The woman replied: "The government brought two or three doctors who have contacts with the government. The doctors we hired were not very powerful. After all, the powerful ones are expensive. The only ones we can afford are those who treat us. "

Song Qi nodded, telling them to stay calm, and then dragged Jiang Yi out together.

Song Qi told Feng Qin and Feng Ye about the situation, and asked them to send someone to find the best doctor in the city, and analyze with him what kind of poison it is, so that he can have a corresponding solution. seen.Then they arranged for people to check around the village and test the poison with medicine.

All the families in the village also lit candle oil lamps, and their expressions relaxed a lot, as if they had seen the hope of life.

The magistrate was tied up and taken to the village.

People in the village came to see it.

When the magistrate saw Feng Ye and Feng Qin, he shook them into the sieve and fell to his knees.

The villagers were also shocked. Unexpectedly, it was King Xiang and King Lu who arrived, and they all knelt down and bowed down.

Feng Qin was too lazy to speak officialdom with the magistrate, so he got angry when he saw it, so he took Jiang Yi to the back of the village to check the situation of drug inspection, and left the front to Feng Ye.

Walking to a place where no one was around, Feng Qin said with some emotion: "I know that my father has done nothing in the military campaign, but the officials who seem to be appointed are still reasonable. I didn't expect to catch such a one. It can be seen that this is not the only case." Well, the neighboring city is not much better. When my brother ascends the throne, he will deal with the same kind of mess, which is really troublesome."

Jiang Yi smiled, "There are black sheep like this in every dynasty. If you meet them, it's a merit to save the people from the fire and water, but what's more important is to take precautions. You are not allowed to argue with King Xiang at present. Wait until the day is over. , carry out the New Deal and benefit the common people.”

"That's the only way to go now." Feng Qin felt particularly unhappy, "How do you think I killed the magistrate without anyone noticing?"

Jiang Yi said: "No, haven't you heard that he might belong to the second prince's faction?"

Feng Qin slapped his head, "If you don't tell me, I really forgot, it seems that I can take this opportunity to clear up the people around the second prince."

Jiang Yi said: "If the other party is just a counselor, just drive him away. The second prince will only think about it for a few days at most, it's fine."

Feng Qin smiled, "Understood, I will let someone check."

"Ah."

The best doctor in Yabian City was quickly invited, and after the examination, it was confirmed that he was poisoned, but he had never seen this kind of toxicity, so he could only be sure that it was a heat poisoning disease.

This diagnosis seems useless, but it is enough for Song Qi.He went back to the barracks, brought some medicines, and began to try them one by one.

And for these villagers, they are also willing to test the medicine.There may be something in these medicines that can keep them alive, so naturally they have to try.

After Feng Ye finished his questioning, he ordered the magistrate to be guarded in the barracks, preparing to send a copy of the book to Beijing at a later date.

The soldiers who investigated the source of the poison also had results, and the poison was deposited in the storage tank in the storage.Zhengjia Village is located in the north, and there is relatively little rain. Generally, such villages will dig several water storage ponds. The villagers usually use water here, regardless of drought or flood.

After Song Qi checked the water himself, he picked two villagers at random and still took blood to test for poison.Sure enough, as he expected, the blood of these people also turned dark green.

Feng Ye asked puzzledly: "What's going on?"

Song Qi replied: "The whole village has been poisoned, but the time of onset of the poison may vary from person to person, so it looks like an epidemic. It is better to exterminate a village in this way than to let them all die overnight, at least not Careful investigation will not reveal that someone deliberately murdered."

Feng Qin frowned, "If there are no other worries in the village, then the most suspicious person is the injured person who stayed overnight."

Feng Ye nodded: "That's right, but why did that person do that?"

Jiang Yi said: "Perhaps it's because of his special status. I don't want people to know his whereabouts, including his staying in Zhengjia Village."

"It makes sense." Song Qi agreed with Jiang Yi's words, "This person is not simple. Most people who want to poison a village usually use a common poison like arsenic. But now the poison that people in the village suffer from is very special. Those who study deeply cannot figure it out.”

At this time, a waiter hurried over, "King Xiang, King Lu, your subordinates found this in the woodshed."

What Feng Qin took over was a piece of clothing embroidered with the logo of the Huo Cult.
