Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 49 Investigating the illness and doing evil by Hu merchants, discussing the cognition of internal and external suppression

In fact, the ancients dealt with the plague much faster and faster than modern people.

The main reason is because the mobility of the population in ancient times was not very great.

When ordinary people go out, they need official guidance issued by the government, and they also need to carry their identity documents with them.

If you don't have these, you will not be able to enter the checkpoints, and if you encounter interrogation, you may be directly regarded as "vagrants" and thrown into prison.

Of course, except for one kind of people, that is Jiang Hu people.

Tell the "heroes" about these rules, then you "dog official" can be regarded as "knowing what is good or bad".

Therefore, although the means of communication are very backward in this era, there is basically no unreasonable population movement.

As long as Babaili received the order urgently, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court could quickly seal off the area where the plague was located, and then centralized management.

Everyone in Funing City is in danger now, except for those who go out to beg for rice, the rest are basically closed doors.Everyone is listless.

Fu Ying looked at the situation on the street, and she said: "It seems that we came in time, the plague here has not yet completely broken out."

Lin Pingzhi looked at the people on the street and nodded silently.

At this time, a team of officers and soldiers who were investigating the plague-infected people came out of a house, and the person they carried in their hands was a bit special.

This man is a barbarian with blond hair and blue eyes and a high nose bridge.

It is not surprising that Lin Pingzhi, a Hu man, appeared in Fujian.

Since the imperial government lifted the sea ban 20 years ago, a large number of foreign businessmen have come to this land to do business.With the increase of overseas trade, Japanese pirates are naturally more rampant.

And this barbarian kept shouting in broken Chinese: "You have no right to arrest me, I'm not from your country!"

Speaking of which, the barbarian bit the official servant, and after being bitten by him, the official servant slapped him on the face with a slap.

The official scolded: "No matter where you are, you bastard, on the ground of our Central Plains, you have to abide by the rules of our Central Plains. Everyone else has gone to the Yamen. Why are you so special? Hurry up and be quick, our adults can There is an order that anyone who does not cooperate with the government to control the plague will be killed on the spot!"

Speaking of which, the official sent out a gleaming Yanling Saber from his waist.

When these foreign barbarians saw that the Han officials who were usually submissive and made them guests of honor were really serious, they immediately softened.I dare not say another word.

At this moment, Fu Ying shouted: "Please wait a moment!"

Hearing this sound, all the officials looked at Fu Ying.

The leading official shouted at this moment: "Stop!"

Fu Ying was frightened by his words, Lin Pingzhi also clenched the sword in his hand at this moment.

The officer held up the shining Yanling saber, and when he saw the little girl who was frightened in front of him, he quickly put away the saber, and then said: "What's the matter, let's just leave it at that, I haven't seen a person who is infected with the plague here." Yes! Little girl is young, don't get you too."

Fu Ying said: "Brother Cha, can you let me see their symptoms? I am a doctor."

The officer looked up and down at the girl who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, and then said suspiciously: "Really?"

At this time, Fu Ying walked up to the officer's side, she took the officer's hand, then took out something from the small gourd behind her, and sprinkled it on the officer's hand.

Afterwards, she wrapped her hands for the official.She said to the officer: "Brother sent, after returning home, wipe the wine several times a day. It will be fine in a few days."

The pain was still burning just now, but after sprinkling those powders on it, the pain disappeared, and it was a little cool instead. The officer smiled and said, "Thank you, miss."

But Fu Ying didn't look at the official, instead she went to the Hu businessman.

She didn't care about her girl's identity at all, but directly lifted the sleeves of this Hu Shang, seeing the chickenpox on his arm and the rash on his face, she frowned unconsciously.

But looking at the girl's graceful figure and her rosy and pink skin, this Hu businessman felt a little unruly.

Fu Ying was checking his illness, but his other hand quietly reached under Fu Ying's skirt.

Lin Pingzhi looked at his feet at this time, and there happened to be a stone under his feet.

He kicked it out, and the stone hit directly on the hand he was going to molested Fu Ying.

The Hu businessman screamed in pain in an instant.

Fu Ying also noticed his hand just now.She hurriedly stood up and looked at the Hu merchant angrily.

And the official who had just been bitten by him couldn't help laughing when he saw how his hand bones were broken.

Fu Ying gratefully looked at Lin Pingzhi not far away.

At this time, the official said with a smile: "Brothers! According to the law of our dynasty, how should we deal with insulting a good girl?"

An official next to him echoed the voice: "It will be dealt with in the third class, but those who break the law in public in front of the official should be punished by chopping their hands."

As he said that, the official took out his Yanling Saber again, flipped it on his wrist and said: "The evidence is convincing, the law will not show mercy!" He raised his hand and chopped off the Hu merchant's hand.

Hu Shang screamed in pain.After that, everyone laughed and dragged the Hu businessman to the isolated place.

Although this official post had the taste of "official avenging private revenge", Lin Pingzhi did not stop it.

Although he is chivalrous, he is not a person who does not discriminate between right and wrong. If this foreigner had no evil intentions, he would not have caused this disaster.

He would just laugh at this kind of evil intentions and bring disaster upon himself.

He just didn't expect these officials to be more ruthless than him.

At best, he broke his hand bones, making him a cripple for the rest of his life, but he was considered a complete person anyway.

Unexpectedly, they chopped off his hand directly.

Lin Pingzhi walked to Fu Ying's side at this time and said: "Not everyone is a good person, why don't they have any defenses at all. Especially these foreigners are beasts who are 'fearful of power but not virtuous'. My dear, there is only the sharp sword in your hand."

Fu Ying looked at Lin Pingzhi with wide eyes and said, "Mr. Lin seems to hate foreigners?"

Lin Pingzhi replied: "That's not true. I have always respected the saying 'When a friend comes, there is good wine, and when a wolf comes, there is a sword'. I treat foreigners who obey the etiquette of the Central Plains, guard each other with courtesy, keep themselves safe, and do business in a stable way." Not exclusive."

"On the contrary, I still respect them very much. They sold our products from the Central Plains overseas, brought foreign money to the people of the Central Plains, and enriched our people in the Central Plains. And they also brought a lot of rare materials from outside. Here we are."

"For example, the corn and sweet potatoes we often eat today were brought in by these foreigners from overseas. These foods are easy to grow and have a high survival rate. They have saved many hungry people during the famines in recent years. .”

"For this kind of overseas business travelers who do business honestly, we Huaxia can communicate with them and help each other. I welcome them very much."

"But! What I reject are those beasts who come to the Central Plains and only know how to 'speak sweet words', 'commit crimes' and 'take tricks'. In my eyes, there are only right and wrong. There is no distinction of identity."

"In a word, I will not directly 'overturn a boat with one shot' just because of a one-sided matter or the mistakes of some people in a group. Although I believe in eliminating evil and doing everything, it is by no means indiscriminate Killing innocent people indiscriminately is not much different from beasts."

"If that's the case, it's just using the high-sounding banner of 'justice' to indulge one's desire to kill. How is such a person different from a demon?"

"Whether a person's character is noble or not depends on what he has done, not his origin. Good deeds should be appreciated, and bad deeds must be punished."

"Come to the Central Plains, do business with us in peace, and be sincere friends, then I welcome it. But if you want to invade us and bully us for stealing, then you can only use the 'sword' in your hand to send them back to their hometown."

Lin Pingzhi led the horse and looked at Fu Ying, he said: "Although I promised to be your guard, you have to be more careful in everything, as the saying goes, 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall'. No matter how good it is Protection is not as strong as yourself."

Fu Ying looked at him with her apricot eyes and listened to his preaching. Although both of them covered their faces, Lin Pingzhi could tell that the girl beside her was laughing.
