Lang riding a war horse

"go in."

Gu Zhen was pushed from behind, took two steps forward before standing still, and looked around in amazement.

To be honest, this is Gu Zhen's second entry into the palace, but this is too far from the original prison.

In this place, it is said that the pig's nest has wronged the pig.

What blocks this corner of the world is a wrist-thick wooden fence. The ground is covered with dry grass that has been rubbed to black, and food residues of unknown material are scattered. Woke up slowly, hid in the darkness where the light of the fire could not reach, carefully observed secretly.

Gu Zhen was a little terrified by these ghostly eyes, he turned his head to the officer and said, "Why are we locked up here? What crime have we committed?"

The officer and soldier said impatiently: "Do you think that everyone like you is doing some sneaky things at night? Mr. Fu Yin is resting, and the trial will start tomorrow morning."

Gu Zhen said again: "Then it will be good to detain us tomorrow morning. If you are not at ease, you can send troops to guard the inn."

The man yawned, and shouted impatiently: "What nonsense, who has time to watch over you all night, just stay with me." After speaking, he shoved Gu Zhen's shoulder, He slammed the wooden fence door hard, locked it and walked away.

Gu Zhen had no choice but to glance at He Xuliang beside him, but the other party was very calm, took off his robe, and tore it in half, one piece was spread on a piece of black hay, and the other half was casually Putting it on Gu Zhen's body, she said, "Sleep first."

Gu Zhen felt angina when he looked at the fragrant robe in his hand, this prodigal player had just been ruined by dog ​​blood, and now he tore another one.

In the future, you will basically say goodbye to new clothes, and I will tell you.

But Gu Zhen has no other choice. It's just the beginning of spring, and it's the coldest time in the morning. The place in the dungeon is already extremely humid. Gu Zhen, who is afraid of the cold, naturally feels uncomfortable, so he is not humble enough to take it obediently. That half piece of clothes sat down next to He Xuliang.

He Xuliang's body temperature was very high, it wasn't very cold when Gu Zhen leaned against him, but he still couldn't sleep, there was a disgusting smell in the air all the time, the two of them didn't go too far inside, they leaned directly against the fence at the door He sat down, but there were some people shrunk in the darkness beside the wall where the fire couldn't shine. Although he couldn't see them clearly, he could feel their real eyes, which made Gu Zhen feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

At this time, a child's half-dream and half-awake voice came from the darkness, calling out, "Mom... want to pee..."

Then a woman's voice said, "Piss."

Gu Zhen wondered if this high-end dungeon was equipped with a toilet, then he heard a rustling sound followed by a rushing water flow, and the smell of urine was added to the rancid air.

Gu Zhen frowned uncomfortably and flapped his nose twice, trying to blow away the pungent smell. Who knows if the child is on fire, the smell of urine is so strong that it burns his eyes, Gu Zhen feels very suffocated , In this dungeon of feelings, not only men, women and children gather together, but also eat, drink and scatter together.

Gu Zhen suddenly felt uncomfortable not only physically, but also in his heart.

He Xuliang looked at him, stretched out his hand to touch some acupuncture point on his body, and soon Gu Zhen's nose failed, and he couldn't smell anything. He looked at He Xuliang in surprise and whispered: "You are quite convenient."

He Xuliang didn't answer, but just tightened the clothes on Gu Zhen's body.

At this time, a gray-haired old man not far from the two of them stared at them for a long time, and asked, "The two young masters look decent, what crime did they commit?"

Gu Zhen followed the voice and saw that it was an old man in ragged clothes. Not only was his clothes ragged, but his wrinkled face was also dirty like mud, his nails were long and yellow, and there were black spots between his nails. Dirty things, this image is not much better than the beggars outside.

However, Gu Zhen didn't dislike it, and asked with a smile: "The yamen suspects that we are related to the matter of Huang Yuanwai's dog farm, please cooperate with the investigation."

Just as Gu Zhen finished speaking, the rustling sound in the entire dungeon suddenly stopped. I don't know if it was an illusion, but everyone's eyes seemed to become more enthusiastic, and they were firmly stuck to Gu Zhen's body, making him shiver involuntarily. .

Even the face of the old man who spoke to him changed. The peeing child stuck his head out from the darkness and asked, "Are you going to steal a dog?"

After finishing speaking, he was dragged back into the darkness by a woman who seemed to be his mother, and reprimanded him in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense."

Gu Zhen still smiled and replied: "No, the dog in Huang Yuanwai's kennel died suddenly, and it is suspected that it has something to do with us."

After saying this, the air became quiet for another second. Gu Zhen was a little puzzled but even more curious. What's so strange about these dogs raised by Huang Yuanwai?

A man's voice sounded in the darkness, asking, "Dead? How many died?"

Gu Zhen thought for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth, saying: "It seems that they are all dead."

This time the woman came out of the darkness with the child in her arms, and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, those dogs are monsters that eat people, why are they all dead, even if everyone in Taifeng County is killed by them?" It’s impossible for them to die!”

Gu Zhen looked up at her, still with a warm smile, and said: "I don't know the specific situation, we are foreigners who just arrived in Taifeng County today, and we just caught up with this incident."

Another person came over and looked at the two of them, and said: "It seems that they are born on two faces, so handsome, there is no possibility of forgetting."

Another person asked, "Is what you said true? Those dogs outside Huang Yuan are all dead?"

Gu Zhen said: "What reason do I have to tell lies?"

Hearing that more and more people were approaching in the darkness, they seemed to regard Gu Zhen and He Xuliang as the source of fire and light, and sat around them in a circle. With the help of the unreal fire light, Gu Zhen could see clearly, this In a small cell less than ten square meters, there were twelve prisoners, old and weak, women and children, everything.

Gu Zhen asked, "Would you guys like to tell me what happened to Huang Yuanwai and this dog?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, after a while, the old man opened his mouth and said, "There's nothing we can't say, it's something everyone knows anyway."

It turned out that Huang Yuanwai was not a businessman or an official, but a doctor or a veterinarian.

Huang Yuanwai was originally just a doctor who opened a small medical clinic. Two years ago, a plague broke out in Taifeng County. Among the plagues, doctors are naturally the most dangerous and the most profitable.However, the plague is so fierce that general medicines are useless at all. The doctors in Taifeng County are afraid that they will also contract the fatal disease when they see that they cannot be cured. In purgatory, there are corpses and burning everywhere, and mourning is everywhere.

Many people died, and it was too late to bury them. Many corpses were exposed on the streets, and many of them were eaten by wild dogs and cats. However, even if people died in this plague, they would not be safe. It would also die of illness, but Huang Yuanwai's dog did not. Although it also ate the corpses on the street, it was not infected. It's useless, damn it or die.

A few days later, Huang Yuanwai had not had time to pack up his clothes and run away, but he was also infected with the disease. He had no relatives and no reason, so he drank the dog's blood in despair. Miraculously, he survived and cured the plague!

The news spread like wildfire. A little-known veterinarian turned into a miracle doctor who can help the world. Although the dog blood is not 100% effective, it still gives people hope.Huang Yuanwai made a fortune by relying on that magical dog. He ate enough steamed buns made of human blood. He made a fortune in this disaster, bought a big house, married Meijiao Niang, and became the richest man in Taifeng County. .

As time went by, the people who suffered from the plague were dragged to the outskirts of the deserted villages by Gu Zhen sent people to burn them. After a while, more and more people cured the plague with high blood. The disaster gradually passed, and Taifeng County regained a little vitality with difficulty.

From then on, Huang Yuanwai regarded dogs as gods, and kept more and more dogs. He even built a dog farm in the suburbs. This dog meat and dog blood can cure all diseases, more and more people come here here, Huang Yuanwai is getting richer and richer, and those dogs are getting more and more vicious. Everyone thought that no matter how big they are, they are dogs and relatives Yes, but these dogs bite and eat people and destroy everything. They are completely another species. Taifeng County finally got rid of the plague and ushered in the dog disaster again. It is miserable.

The woman holding the child wiped away her tears and said, "At first, my husband and son and I were happily living together as a family of three, but because my husband was drunk one night, he was bitten off by those dogs while walking on the street and ate him alive." , I went to report to the official, but Lord Fu Yin said that I was talking nonsense, and locked me in without saying a word, pity my baby, I am still a child..."

After the woman finished speaking, the others sighed and wiped away their tears. Without exception, these twelve people were more or less related to those dogs, and their charges were unfounded, and even these people were victims at all.

Gu Zhen was angry and furious in his heart, he let out a mouthful of turbid air and said in He Xuliang's ear: "You are really doing justice for the heavens."

He Xuliang was thoughtful, and suddenly asked: "How many people know the shopkeeper Tong of Tongfu Inn?"

A group of people look at me, I look at you, a thin man said: "I know, that is a widow from other places, with her son, but two months ago, his son seemed to have a sudden illness, I don't know Dead or alive now."

After this person finished speaking, the other person said: "Isn't he dead? Before I came in, I saw this kid squatting in the garbage dump to eat at night."

"You still dare to go out at night, not afraid of being bitten to death by those dogs?"

The man rubbed his forehead and said, "Didn't I have something to do that night? My son ran out at night. I tried to find it but couldn't find it, but he was there the next day... Sigh..." As he spoke, the man slapped him. Thighs, with a look of grief.

Gu Zhen felt uncomfortable, but He Xuliang didn't know why he refused to let go, and asked: "How?"

Gu Zhen poked him and said, "What are you doing, don't you see that he is sad?"

The man wiped his face again, and said: "It's okay, it's over, my son must have been eaten by those wild dogs, I found his head in the garbage dump the next day..."

Gu Zhen sighed again, wondering what kind of monsters these dogs are.

He Xuliang asked again: "Are you all like this? Relatives were eaten by dogs on the spot?"

Everyone talked about it, and found that some were eaten, and some were missing, but everyone thought it was the dogs in Huang Yuanwai's dog farm.

Gu Zhen just wanted to ask He Xuliang what this meant, but He Xuliang suddenly stood up and pushed with his palm, the wooden fence was broken into fine slag like paper, the loud noise and the rising smoke choked Gu Zhen for a while. Coughing, surprised: "What are you doing, you?"

He Xuliang directly grabbed his waist, kicked away several jailers rushing over and said: "Xuan'er is in danger."
