Chapter 122 Pressing Questions

When the middle-aged Taoist priest heard this, his face stagnated and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, I didn't bring anyone, because he was from a nearby Taoist temple and came to help the villagers treat their illnesses, so he didn't think so much."

Xu Rong's face turned cold: "You haven't answered my question yet. Which Taoist priest are you from?"

At the same time, he turned his head and ordered: "Chen Xiaoer, go and ask the villagers who invited these Taoist priests to see a doctor, ask which Taoist temple they are from and what background they are. If the answers are different from these Taoist priests, then..."

Before Xu Rong could finish his words, he kept staring at these Taoists from the corner of his eyes, and then he saw them turn around and run away, at a very fast speed, obviously all with martial arts.

However, compared with Xu Rong, they are still far behind.

Xu Rong stepped heavily on the ground, and a depression appeared on the ground. He rushed out like a shell.

In just a blink of an eye, he had already arrived behind several Taoist priests who had fled in panic and pinched the back of the two Taoist priests with both hands.

As soon as he mentioned and threw it, five Taoist priests suddenly fell into rolling gourds.

Xu Rong walked to them and looked at them condescendingly: "Tell me, what are your identities? What's the matter when you come to Niutou Village?"

The constables behind him also rushed over, controlled the five Taoist priests, and tied them up in large numbers.

Chen Xiaoer also came over at this time and reported: "Tao, these Taoists claim to be from the Yellow Turban Taoist and are good at saving people with talismans. They have previously treated several villagers in Niutou Village."

"After the villagers in the village got sick, someone went to invite them until they came here just now."

Hearing these words, Xu Rong looked thoughtful.

"Did these people who are sick in the village get this disease before these Taoist priests come, or do they get it after they come?"

"Boss, do you suspect that these people are doing it?"

Chen Xiaoer was very surprised. In his opinion, something like a plague should be a natural disaster, but how did it become a man-made disaster now?

This is also limited by knowledge. For ordinary people like Chen Xiaoer, they are relatively unfamiliar with many things.

He didn't know that this plague was not a natural disaster, but was caused by various human reasons.

Plague also refers not to a disease, but to a general term for various malignant infectious diseases.

The more well-known plagues include smallpox, plague and so on.

The reason why many people think that plague is a natural disaster is because plague is often caused by natural disasters such as drought or floods. Because there are too many people who die and no one to deal with the corpse, and various coincidence factors have made some kind of malignant infectious disease.

Xu Rong didn't explain much, but said, "Plague can be created by man. These people are very suspicious. Just go and check it out."

Chen Xiaoer nodded tactfully and did not ask again.

And here Xu Rong also began to interrogate these five Taoist priests.

"What? Don't you want to say it yet? Then you must have heard of torture in the yamen, right? There are no other torture instruments here, so I can only give you a chance to Lingchi."

Xu Rong pulled out his goose feather knife and fiddled with it in front of them.

Several slightly younger Taoist priests trembled all over and their eyes looked at Xu Rong with fear.

The middle-aged Taoist priest immediately said, "Sir, we are disciples of the Yellow Turban Taoist Tao, not some evil people. Those villagers can testify."

"Since you are not evil people, why did you run away just now?"

Xu Rong really doesn't remember a Taoist temple called the Yellow Turban Taoist nearby.

In his previous life, he had heard of an organization called Taipingdao that was called the Yellow Turban, but that was a matter in his previous life and it must have nothing to do with this.

"this……"

The middle-aged Taoist priest hesitated and said, "We have no certificate of vassal."

"Oh? No wonder you're going to run away."

Xu Rong's expression calmed down a little.

The Great Yan Dynasty also had strict regulations on monks.

After all, many of these monks are not in production, and even many temples and Taoist temples have many roles like monks. These people naturally have to register and book them to prevent these temples and Taoist temples from rebelling.

This certificate of tribute is the ID card of a monk, similar to the route issued by ordinary people in other places.

If there is no certificate of vassal, it proves that these Taoist priests are all wild Taoist priests, and it is no wonder they want to escape.

"But even so, you don't have to react so fiercely, right? Nowadays, the management of this is not strict in the country, and many people turn a blind eye."

Hearing Xu Rong say this, the middle-aged Taoist priest felt a little relieved: "We also know some of the reputation of the adults, so when we see that the adults are not good-looking, we are a little nervous. It is not because we intend to fight with the adults. Please let us go, we are all kind people."

At this moment, Chen Xiaoer walked over quickly and said, "Head, check it out. No one had the plague before these Taoists came to Niutou Village."

Xu Rong, who had been observing several people, was calm when he saw the middle-aged Taoist priest, but the young Taoist priests behind him were already looking like earth.

In an instant, Xu Rong knew it: "It seems that you caused this plague."

"My lord is wronged. This is just a coincidence. How could we ordinary people cause plague? This is the exclusive ability of Lord Plague God."

The middle-aged Taoist priest shouted for justice with a sad expression. If he were in the eyes of an uninformed person, he might really think he was innocent.

"hehe……"

In response to this, Xu Rong just said lightly, "Please interrogate these Taoists separately. If there is any problem that doesn't match, then I want him to taste the taste of Lingchi. Three thousand and six hundred swords will not be one more sword, nor one less sword."

After saying that, Xu Rong's sharp eyes swept across the Taoist priests, which made them fall into an ice cave.

The timid one was even scared to pee.

Xu Rong's use of momentum and murderous aura are enough to scare ordinary people.

It is normal for this Taoist priest to behave like this.

Soon, there was no means of torture and confession. Several young Taoist priests told everything they knew, like pouring beans.

After listening to the stories of these young Taoist priests, Xu Rong looked at the middle-aged Taoist priests.

At this time, the middle-aged Taoist priest was already ashamed and looked like he was bored.

Xu Rong asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Judging from what the young Taoist priests said just now, it is enough to make them die without a place to bury them.

Even if he said anything, it would be useless, so the middle-aged Taoist priest could only maintain a silent attitude.
