C166 Pestilence

"Honorable officials, this one is Village Head of Little Wang Manor. May I know which of you has informed me that I would like to meet with the lord …" At the Tanggu's entrance, in the vast expanse of white snow, Village Head, who had met with calamity, accompanied his guard and looked at the doorman with a fawning expression.

yamen, who was standing at the entrance, didn't even raise his eyes. He didn't have the time to bother with this old man who had a head full of snow. The two of them looked at the heavy snow and rubbed their hands and stomped their feet as they chatted.

"We have to get together at noon today, the Coastal building's seafood hotpot is the best. Four or five of us can get together a hawk Yang and we'll be able to get it for ourselves. Only a pot with half a catty of wine will be considered beautiful …"

"Aiyo, the Oceanic's Blossom Red has just gotten its hands on you, and you, Kid, already have a grudge in your stomach? "If you dare to use a Ocean for a single meal, daughter-in-law'er will make you kneel on the floor …"

"Pfft, she dares!" Money is a man's guts. Ever since my income doubled, I, daughter-in-law, have become so gentle. I don't dare to stare at you anymore. "Damn it, I'll save another two years. I'll also marry a wife to concubinage and taste the taste of being an old master …"

When the two yamen said this, they looked at each other and laughed out loud. The laughter was filled with a taste that only men could understand. No wonder these yamen and the others were laughing so happily. Ever since the Rakuten moved to the Tanggu, these yamen and the others could finally live a good life.

Mr. Xiao was worthy of being known as the God of Fortune who rode the Black Tiger. All the people in Tanggu city that ate yamen's food, they would pay for it, but the Rakuten would always give them a favor. Furthermore, when the weather was cold, he would reward them with firewood, and when the holidays were over, he would divide the meat and drink.

No one in the world would go against money. It was precisely because of this extra income that the unhappiness of Rakuten entering Tanggu forcefully into the business circles and the officials were all on the back of their minds. Now, the business circles of Tanggu and the officials were all in favor of Xiao Letian.

Furthermore, these sensitive and discerning service also found out a strange legend. It was said that Zhou Mingkui and Zhou Tong knew that they had fallen in worship of Xiao Letian, and in Tanggu, Xiao Letian was the well-deserved Grandson Steel.

Of course, a rumor was just a rumor. No one dared to check whether they were right or wrong, not to mention who would go against money. Last month, Bastard, the jailer, just shouted at the wine table that Xiao Letian should pay a high price to bribe the officials. That night, he drowned in the sewer.

From then on, no one dared to provoke the Rakuten anymore, and these yamen who passed by the Oceanic did not even dare to straighten his back anymore.

Little Wang Manor's Village Head was almost frozen at this time. Seeing the two yamen ignore him with his nose to the sky, he knew that it was impossible to open a road without money, so he quickly fished out a set of copper coin s with a body temperature of over 500 words and respectfully passed them over.

"Two sirs, buy some wine to drink. This is disrespectful, disrespectful …" Since they saw the money, there was no point in holding back. yamen, who was kneeling on the floor, casually flipped through the book and already knew how much it was. He felt that the amount was enough to make a smile on his face.

"Un, I know your village, Little Wang Manor right? Tell me, what matter do you have that requires you to endure the heavy snow?"

"grandpa, my village has been troubled …" Wiping his tears, Village Head repeated what had happened the night before to today, which made the two Liu Steel's heart ache a little.

"Aiyo, so this Bane is linked into a string? How pitiful … However, let me be frank with you. adults went to the beach to watch the snow, so he didn't have time to care about small matters. "How about this, I'll let you meet with Grand Master to prepare a case. You can report it to Old Master later, do you think you can …"

"Fine, fine, fine. I'll listen to you!" The old man didn't dare to have any objections. He waited at the door for a long time before a Master Shaoxing came out. After a long while, Village Head finally walked out of yamen Tongzhi's side and it was almost lunch time.

Master Shaoxing looked at Village Head as he walked away. Then, he shook the silver in his hand and sneered, "Complaint? Hehe, right now adults is flattering Xiao Letian, who dares to accept your bill? A country bumpkin who doesn't know anything, what is Xiao Letian planning to do that you can't stop? In the glume, even a country of the Japan is not his opponent, and you still want to be like a mantis waiting to be a chariot? Sigh … A bunch of pitiful people! "

Village Head did not eat in the city. Instead, he took Bei Feng to eat some cold pasta cake and rushed to the village. The entire village was waiting for news of him, so he did not dare to delay at all.

However, when he returned to the village, an old man who was frightened by the news almost sat on the snowy ground. It turned out that in the whole morning, there were ten people in the village who were sick with a high fever.

"How?" What was going on? The heavens want us to die … Do not pass on the pestilence, please do not pass on the pestilence … "Wuu!" Old Village Head cried from anxiousness.

How could he not be anxious? In the ancient society, pestilence were similar to wars, earthquakes, floods, and other disasters in name only. All the generations of the had very strict control over the pestilence. A single Villages had twenty people with fever, which was already enough to form a isolation.

At that time, they did not have any financial aid from the Country, so if they were to isolate the villagers, they would have to fend for themselves.

In fact, everyone knew clearly in their hearts that when the fire broke out on the wood fodder Stack the previous night, the villagers had been frightened. When the heat wave from the fire and the cold Northwest blew on it, many of the older people already felt uncomfortable.

Furthermore, the entire day yesterday, he bought land from a foreigner, was threatened by Scholar Huang, coupled with two evil spirits personally coming over to send off the wood fodder for a good person, he was surprised, happy and afraid.

It wasn't until the incident with the livestock last night that the weak Villagers finally could not hold on anymore. He was furious and the weather was cold outside. From the moment the internal and external troubles were brought out, he naturally fell ill.

There were two types of pestilence mentioned in the ancient times. One was the pestilence that was hot in the summer because of the bacteria, and the other was the common cold during the cold winter.

Fleming, who had discovered penicillin at that time, was not yet born, and in the absence of antibiotics a small cold could kill, and the ancients feared nothing when they heard the word typhoid.

This time, Village Head could no longer listen to Scholar Huang's nonsense. The wood fodder Xiao Letian left for everyone was a lifesaver. Move, hurry up and move the wood fodder, the amount of wood fodder s have to be moved for three days in each house, whoever has a disease can move more, first heating up the house, then giving the patient hot water to drink … "

Under Village Head's lead, the entire village's Liu Tie started to move. adults's children carried the wood fodder home through the snow and wind, and a few people with quick legs ran to Tanggu to get a doctor.

The Little Wang Manor's situation was not isolated. Three unlucky Villages s had a typhoid epidemic, people could not care about life and death anymore, and Scholar Huang's ban was completely thrown to the back of their minds.

Huang Liu received the news after lunch. He was so angry that he brought Housekeeper and his servants to come over and curse loudly, "You untrustworthy lowly commoners, how can you use the small kindness of your enemies? Did Sage ignore thousands of years of education? "All of you, throw away your firewood …"

"Scholar Huang, open your eyes and take a look. There are so many patients in the village, what do you want us to do?" You have to let us live, right? You make it sound good, why didn't you bring your family's wood fodder over to us? "

Scholar Huang was embarrassed. Ever since he was young, he had never received pedunculus's supercilious looks. He never thought that a smelly farm would actually dare to rob him.

"What did you say?" Say that again … " Huang Liu, who was flustered, cursed loudly, "Good, good, good, good. You guys are so good. If you have the guts, don't beg me for next year. If you have the guts, don't bother attending school …"

"Stupid pedunculus, you guys actually dare to be rude to me. To be rude to me is to be rude to Sage. Just you wait …" Huang Liu left the village cursing. On one hand, he was angry, but on the other hand, he was afraid of catching the disease in the village.

"Housekeeper, send someone to burn those wood fodder s tonight. They were given to you by Xiao Letian, they are not good stuff …" Housekeeper's face turned bitter when he heard this. "Young Master, this, this, this isn't good, right? "Since our village is in an epidemic, we should give them some hot water to drink …"

"Shut up! You even dare to disobey me? Are you going to rebel too... "You go, tonight you will personally take someone with you. If you can't handle it, then don't go back to this house …" Housekeeper was scolded by Huang Liu, so he didn't dare to make a sound.

In just half a day of the afternoon, there were already more than thirty-five people with fever. With such a severe epidemic situation, even the doctors in Tanggu were caught unprepared.

The illness was getting worse and worse. At night, when the lanterns were being lit in the three villages, there were already one hundred people with symptoms of fever, and fear had enveloped all the surrounding Villages.

Housekeeper of Huang Liu sneaked into the Little Wang Manor at midnight. The unlucky Housekeeper brought domestic servant to the edge of the pile of firewood outside the village under the cover of the snow. He shook his head and sighed, "Don't blame me, I was also forced to do it. With that, he waved his hand and told domestic servant and the others to make their move.

The ocean fire was lit up, the dried leaves of the corn were set on fire, and quickly gathered into a few small fires. Using the wind as support, the remaining firewood was finally ignited.

However, just when Housekeeper wanted to escape, a dozen odd white shadows suddenly flew out from the pile of snow behind them. A tiger pounce pushed them all into the snow.

"We caught arsonist, we caught the thief who set the fire …" Quickly, people come from the village! " The mournful shouts startled the entire Villages. When they saw the terrified Housekeeper, who was trembling from head to toe, the people of Little Wang Manor became completely furious.

"Beat him to death, beat this animal to death. So it turned out to be your doing. It was all in vain that we thought you were a good person …" Kill him! " crowd wanted to rush up and attack, but the dozen odd white shadows stopped him.

"My fellow villagers, we are the guards of the Rakuten. It was Xiao Letian and adults who sent us to protect you … These Bastard can't be taken advantage of, we have to report them to the officials, let the government do it for them … "

The white shadow was the Oceanic guard dressed in the white snow camouflage clothes. With the support of Wang Huaiyuan's intelligence, they were able to easily spy on Huang Liu's every move. Capturing a few arsonist was not a problem at all.

Taking advantage of the night, arsonist was escorted by Villagers and guards to The yamen of the same knowledge. Zhou Mingkui started his interrogation with unprecedented efficiency and got the confession letter that night.

"Mr. Xiao, admit it, those people have all confessed. Huang Liu is the source of this rumor, 90% of the rumors in our Industrial Zones were made up by that Kid." Zhou Mingkui brought the confession letter to Xiao Letian's house overnight as if he was offering a treasure. At this time, Xiao Letian did not sleep at all, he had been holding secret meetings in study.

"Good job, with the confession, we can make an example of them. Let's let Tanggu's people have a good look at this group of book reader's face, what do we look like now!" "It's done, it's done …"
