"Rebirth: The Prosperous Male Concubine"

Chapter 25

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

At this time, the village was completely dark, not to mention candles and oil lamps, not even fires.

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

Feng Qin frowned, how could he climb this hole? And what is the government doing? If there is an epidemic, it is not reported to the court, and the people are made to wait for death in this way, just for their own merits, it is really light to kill a hundred times.

Back at Shimen, Feng Qin's inner strength gathered and smashed Shimen directly.

Such a big movement also attracted the attention of the villagers, who came out to see the situation, all of them were yellow-faced and thin, and they hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time.

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

"Who are you?" An elderly man walked out and asked with a cane.

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

Lizheng frowned, "Why did you run into the woods?" The

woman cried again He got up, "Da Niu wants to go outside and have a look, I...I got him out..."

Li Zheng didn't show his eyebrows, "Where's Daniel?" The

woman cried even more fiercely.

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

woman wiped 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 be an enemy of the government because of us. And our illness is unknown. If we give it to a few people, it would be a sin."

Feng Ye frowned, "You are here. Waiting here to die?"

At least you should find a way to save yourself, right?

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

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

Dasheng has a law, if one of the officials does not act, they can go to the nearby city yamen to seek justice. Officials from neighboring cities must immediately report to the imperial court for disposal.

"What do you all know? Now that corrupt officials are in power, the prefects of the two neighboring cities have been bought by the prefects at the edge of the cliff. Before that, there was a girl in Sunjia Village over there who was robbed by the son of the prefect's brother-in-law, and the family was also stubborn. The local prefect went out of town, but the prefect in the neighboring city not only ignored it, but also sent someone to arrest the family, parents and younger brother and escorted them back to Yabian City. The prefect of Yabian kept them in jail for half a year. At that time, the father of the family was already insane...and pitiful."

"That's not right!" Feng Qin was angry, he never advertised himself as righteous, but how could Dasheng Jiangshan allow such a moth to be an official? !

Fengye was calmer than Feng Qin, and asked again: "Does the old man know what backing the prefect has? Otherwise, the prefect of the neighboring city shouldn't be bought so easily, right?"

"I also heard that the prefect has some relationship with the second prince. Li Zheng was hesitant in his words, but probably considering that he was dying soon, he continued: "The prefect's brother-in-law's family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I heard that the brother-in-law said when he was drunk that the prefect has a very good relationship. The same family, who is now a counselor in the Second Prince's Mansion, is highly valued, so the prefect has no fear."

"I see." Fengye nodded, and then Song Qi said: "You should first take a look at the disease in the village to see if it can be cured, and others. I will arrange it."

"Okay." Song Qi completely trusted Fengye, so he asked if there was any fever in the village.

The woman was busy talking about a few things and took the initiative to lead the way.

Jiang Yi also followed Song Qi. Although he might not be able to help, it would be a good idea to start a fight.

Feng Qin handed the token to Youxing, and asked him to bring some more people, and then let Jiang Du lead people to take his token to arrest the prefect.

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

After Song Qi finished the inspection, he asked the surrounding villagers, "Is this disease transmitted one after another, or did the patient suddenly become ill after he had passed away for a period of time or had no contact with the patient at all?" the

villagers asked. : "Some illnesses happened one after another. For a while, no one in the village suddenly became ill. Lizheng originally wanted to report to the government, saying that our village was all right, but I didn't want someone to get sick again a few days later."

Song Qi thought about it and said. : "Generally, the infection of epidemic diseases is relatively fast, and seeing that your village is very close to each other, it has been so long, and so many people are still safe, then it should not be some kind of epidemic disease. Think about it, in the first Before the person got sick, what happened in the village? Or who came?" For

a moment, the villagers were all lost in thought.

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

Everyone looked at her.

The woman stood up and said, "My husband was the first person to get sick in the village. Three days before he got sick, he picked up an injured person in the back mountain. My husband saw that he was well dressed and didn't look like a bad person, so he just I brought it home, and I also found a Lang Zhong to see him. Lang Zhong said it was a trauma, so he would be fine after wrapping the wound and taking a few medicines."

"After that person took the medicine, he woke up that night and thanked our husband and wife, which made us quite embarrassed. He was raised in my house for another day, and he seemed to be fine, so he left a certain amount of money. He left. The day after he left, my husband fell ill, and I still used the money he left to hire a good doctor, but he still couldn't be saved." The woman said, her eyes red.

Song Qi pondered for a while, found a dagger, slashed the patient's fingers and put a few drops of blood, then took out a thumb-sized bottle from his purse, poured out a tiny pill and threw it into the blood. After a while, the blood turned a weird dark green.

"What does this mean?" Jiang Yi asked, pointing to the blood in the cup.

"It turns dark green to indicate poison," Song Qi said.

"Poisonous?" The villagers were shocked.

"The source of the poison still needs to be investigated, and it is still unclear what it is." Song Qi asked, "Have you all hired the doctors in the city? What kind of doctor did the government invite?" The

woman replied, "The government brought the same kind of doctor. There are two or three doctors we have contacted, and the doctors we hired are not very powerful. After all, the most powerful ones are expensive, and the ones we hired are the ones who usually see our patients."

Song Qi nodded and told them to be calm . , and then dragged Jiang Yi out together.

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

The houses in the village also lit candles and oil lamps, and their expressions became much more relaxed, as if they had seen hope for life.

The prefect was bound and pressed into the village.

People in the village came to see it.

Seeing Feng Ye and Feng Qin, the prefect shook into the chaff and knelt on the ground.

The villagers were also shocked, but they did not expect that King Xiang and King Lu would actually arrive, and they all knelt down and bowed.

Feng Qin was too lazy to talk to the prefect, so he got angry when he saw it, so he took Jiang Yi to the back of the village to check the drug situation, and left it to Fengye.

When he walked to a place where no one was there, Feng Qin said with some emotion: "I know that the royal father did nothing in the military campaign, but it seems that the official appointed is reasonable. I didn't expect to catch such a person. It can be seen that this is not the only case. , this neighboring city is not much better. When my brother ascends the throne, it is also such a mess to deal with, it is really laborious."

Jiang Yi smiled, "There are such black sheep in every dynasty and generation. It is also a virtue to relieve the people from water and fire, but the more important thing is to prevent them from happening in the future. Now the court will not allow you and King Xiang to talk about it, and wait for it to happen in the future, implement the new policy and benefit the people."

"It can only be like this now." Feng Qin felt unhappy in his heart, "How do you think I killed that prefect without knowing it?"

Jiang Yi said, "No, didn't you hear that he might be part of the Second Prince?"

Feng Qin patted his head. "I really forgot if you didn't say it. It seems that I can take the opportunity to clear the people around the second prince."

Jiang Yi said: "If the other party is just a strategist, just drive away. The second prince will think about it at most. In a few days, it will be fine."

Feng Qin smiled, "Understood, I will have someone check it."

"Yeah." The

best doctor in Yabian City was quickly invited. But he has never seen this kind of toxicology, so he can only confirm that it is a disease of heat poisoning.

This diagnosis may seem 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 medicines. There may be something in these medicines that can keep them alive, so it is natural to try.

After Feng Ye finished his question, he asked people to press the prefect to be guarded in the barracks, preparing to revise a book and send it to Beijing later.

The soldiers who checked the source of the poison also came to the conclusion that the poison was deposited in the storage tank in storage. Zhengjia Village is located in the north, and the rainwater is relatively low. Generally, such a village will dig several storage tanks. The villagers usually use water here, no matter whether it is drought or flood.

After Song Qi personally checked the water, he randomly selected two villagers and still took blood for drug testing. As he expected, the blood of these people also turned dark green.

Fengye asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

Song Qi replied: "Everyone in the village has been poisoned, but the time of the poisoning may vary from person to person, so it looks like an epidemic. The village is better than letting them all die overnight, at least if you don't investigate carefully, you won't think that someone deliberately murdered."

Feng Qin frowned, "If the village does not worry about others, then the most suspicious thing is the injured overnight stay. The person."

Feng Ye nodded: "Yes, but why did that person do this?"

Jiang Yi said: "Maybe he has a special identity and does not want people to know his whereabouts, including his stay in Zhengjia Village. "

It makes sense." Song Qi agreed with Jiang Yi's words, "This person is not simple. Most people want to poison a village, and most of them use a common poison such as arsenic. Now the poison in the village is very special, not right People who have studied the poison in-depth can't figure it out."

At this time, a waiter rushed over, "King Xiang, King Lu, the subordinates found this in the firewood room."

Feng Qin took it and saw that it was A piece of fabric embroidered with the fire cult logo.
