Allure Female Pharmacist: Qing Mo Yanluo

Chapter 18 The mysterious death of the villagers

Just when Li Jiu finished speaking, there was a sound of a carriage outside the door, and a stench came into the courtyard.Li Jiu was overjoyed and shouted: "Chen Ba, I have a solution. As long as we throw this corpse into the night incense barrel, and give some money to the person pouring the night incense to transport the body out and bury it. In this way, we Brothers don’t have to do the hard work of going out of the palace to bury the corpse.”

"Good idea. Then go out and stop that Yexiang car."

As he said that, he saw Li Jiu rushing out of the courtyard to chase the Yexiang car.

At the end of Yin time, at the gate of the palace, a carriage with Yexiang upside down slowly left the palace and gradually moved away from the palace.

……

Four days later, villagers outside the city appeared to die of illness one after another. In just ten days, a village with a thousand people turned into a deserted village.All the villagers in the village died strangely, and none of them survived.

Those villagers died horribly. Some parts of their bodies were swollen, and there were red spots. What's more, their mouths and noses were bleeding, and bloody phlegm covered the ground.Unspeakable horror, unspeakable bizarre.

On the day of the incident, the local government sent troops to take care of the funeral.

"General, the corpses of all the villagers have been gathered in the open space." After receiving the report from the soldiers, the deputy general stepped forward to report to the general.

"Well, what happened to the hole dug by someone before?" General Zeng Wanghai nodded, and then asked another lieutenant beside him.

"General Qi, the big pit has been prepared, enough to hold these thousand corpses."

"Okay, immediately send someone to throw the body into the pit to bury it, and then set fire to the village."

"As ordered!"

The deputy generals took the order, and then directed the soldiers to start burying the corpse.There were 230 people in a village, all of whom died.For such a major matter, it was necessary to report to the imperial court no matter what, not to mention that this place is only fifty miles away from the imperial city.

Zeng Wanghai suddenly felt uneasy, as if the death of the villagers this time was just the beginning of a disaster.Zeng Wanghai was distraught at this moment, standing in place and fidgeting.

"Adjutant, pass it on."

Following Zeng Wanghai's order, several assistants came to him not long after.

"Can you find out how those villagers died?" Zeng Wanghai looked at Wu Zuo who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice.

"General, I have checked the corpses of all the villagers and found that they showed signs of poisoning. They should have died of poisoning."

Zeng Wanghai frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Can you find out what poison they were poisoned by?"

"General Qi, the doctors who came with me couldn't find out what kind of poison those villagers were infected with. They only know that this kind of poison can make people die sooner in one day or slower in three days." Wu Zuo considered for a moment Finally, finally tell the truth.

"Well, step back." Zeng Wanghai waved his hand back and fell into deep thought.

This was just a village, and he was really puzzled that someone would poison the entire village.Just when he was puzzled, the lieutenant came to him in a hurry.

"General, something is wrong. A large number of dead people appeared in Yang Village three miles away from here, and their appearance after death is the same as that of the villagers here."

"What?" Zeng Wanghai was shocked, and he stood up from the chair, staring at the lieutenant general with wide eyes, "You said that this happened three miles away?"

"Yes."

After Zeng Wanghai heard the lieutenant's answer, he immediately felt the seriousness of the situation, and quickly explained: "I want to go to the palace immediately to face the saint, and you lieutenants will be fully responsible for the affairs here. The dead are buried, and the living are saved. Before it was too late, the villagers were transferred and the village was set on fire. Got it?"

"As ordered, General."

After Zeng Wanghai explained what he should explain, he rode his fast horse towards the imperial city.

Zeng Wanghai hurried to the imperial city and hurried towards the Yizheng Hall.As soon as he arrived outside the hall, he was immediately stopped.

"General Zeng, please stay. The emperor has just ordered that he will not receive ministers for the time being. General, please go back." The chief eunuch, Mr. Zhong, said openly.

Zeng Wanghai hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Eunuch Zhong, please let me know that Zeng Wanghai has something important to announce, and it is very urgent."

"General Zeng, aren't you in charge of all the soldiers and horses near the imperial city? You said there is an urgent matter. Could it be that the rebels can't make it to the gate of the imperial city?" Eunuch Zhong said slowly.

"Hey, this matter is a matter of life and death. If we don't report it to the saint again, I am afraid that the death and injury will be even more serious. At that time, the imperial city may be in danger." Zeng Wanghai was anxious for a moment, so he briefly explained the matter, and Eunuch Zhong stared at him. Big eyes.

"General Zeng, please wait for a moment, I will report to the emperor right away."

"My father-in-law."

Zeng Wanghai watched Eunuch Zhong enter the Palace of Political Affairs, and then waited anxiously outside.

"General Zeng, the emperor invites you." After Eunuch Zhong came out of the Palace of Political Affairs, he asked him to follow him in.

Bai Shuining was sitting in front of the desk in a royal robe, and when he saw Zeng Wanghai coming, he immediately stopped the pen in his hand, looked at him and asked, "Zeng Wanghai, you said that there is something urgent to report, and tell me why it is so urgent."

"My Majesty, I received a report from local officials today, saying that all the villagers in a village died within a few days, so I took thousands of officers and soldiers to the village where the accident happened. At that time, it was discovered that there were corpses everywhere, and it became a veritable deserted village. Therefore, the minister ordered people to dig a pit to bury the corpses, and sent his assistants and doctors to investigate the cause of death, only to find that all the villagers showed signs of poisoning."

"In this case, maybe this is just a heinous crime committed by a certain prisoner for revenge. You just need to send someone to investigate the murderer, so why is the imperial city in danger?" What Wang Hai said before made him fall to his knees in fright.
