Chapter 148 Nong Baicao

Although the four gates in the east, west, north and south of Tai'an City have been closed, they are mainly for entering the city.

When Su Yu and the other three showed their identities and needed to go out to perform tasks, the city gate was easily opened and the three of them were allowed to leave.

After leaving Tai'an City, the three of them got on their horses and headed towards Long'an Town.

Long'an Town is a small town under the jurisdiction of Linyuan County, only a hundred miles away from Tai'an City.

The night attack hindered the speed of the horses. After almost four hours, the three of them finally saw the outline of Long'an Town.

Unlike the bustling city of Tai'an, Long'an Town had already fallen into silence in the early morning.

The three of them rode horses and walked on the streets that ran through Long'an Town. The horseshoes stepped on the bluestone paved road, making a "kick-kick-kick" sound.

Arriving at a tavern in the town that was about to close, Su Yu and the others tied their horses aside and walked into the tavern.

"Masters, what do you need?"

Seeing Su Yu and the others coming in, the waiter hurriedly came over to greet them.

When he saw clearly the Feiyu suits worn by the three of them, the waiter's face became more respectful.

It was rare for him to meet such a person in a small town.

Lu Ze casually threw out a piece of broken silver weighing one tael, and then said: "Xiao Er, is this Long'an Town?"

The broken silver he threw out was caught by the waiter in the shop.

Weighing this heavy piece of broken silver, the waiter's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This piece of silver is already worth half a year of working here.

Unexpectedly, these three people were so wealthy. The waiter's face became more and more flattering, and he smiled and said: "Yes, this is Long'an Town!"

"Xiao Er, I want to ask you about someone."

Lu Ze smiled and said: "We are here to find a miracle doctor named Nong Baicao. It is said that he lives in Long'an Town. Do you know where his family lives in Long'an Town?"

Although Long'an Town is only a small town, it has a permanent population of more than tens of thousands, and there are many villages located around the town.

If they had to look for it on their own, it would be really difficult to find Nong Baicao's residence.

Asking the people here is the fastest way.

"Farmer?"

The waiter in the shop was startled and couldn't help but ask: "Three officials, are you here to see the farmer doctor for anything?"

Since the three of them were from the Zhenwu Division, he would naturally be worried that Su Yu and the others were here to apprehend the criminal and would pass by here to take a rest.

But now they are asking about the farmer's address. Could it be that they are here to arrest the farmer?

In recent years, if the people in the town have any physical problems, they can be cured by the farmer doctors.

Before knowing the real purpose of their coming here, the waiter was undoubtedly a little reluctant to inform the three of Nong Baicao's address.

Once the three of them take Nong Baicao away, he, the person who revealed Nong Baicao's residence, will definitely be stabbed in the back by the people in the town.

If this was the case, he would rather return this piece of silver, which weighed one tael, to them than do anything that would harm the interests of everyone in the town.

The farmer treats the people in the town well, but if he repays kindness with hatred, that would be a shame.

Seeing the sudden wariness on the waiter's face, Su Yu smiled and said: "Second servant, don't worry, we are not here to arrest the farmer doctor, but we need him to help the court do something."

"Do you want to do something?" The waiter couldn't help but be startled.

"good."

Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "I guess the waiter also knows about the outbreak of a large-scale plague in Tiankui City, right?"

The waiter nodded and said, "I have indeed heard about it, but what does this have to do with the farmer? Could it be that."

The waiter couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

He suddenly guessed the purpose of the three people coming here.

Did the three of them come to see the farmer doctor to save the people of Tiankui City?

Thinking of this, the waiter's expression couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly handed over the broken silver in his hand.

The waiter shook his head and said in a confused tone: "Three officials, I'm sorry, but the younger one doesn't know where this farmer doctor lives, nor does he know that there is such a person in the town."

"I'll give you this small amount of money. It's already late at night and our tavern is about to close. Why don't you three officials see if there are any others open?"

Seeing the waiter's suddenly repulsive expression, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other.

This grain of silver is enough for him to work for several months, right?

How could he give up this temptation and take care of this farmer?

Lu Ze frowned slightly and did not accept the broken silver handed over by the waiter. Instead, he said calmly: "According to the laws of the Zhenwu Division, it is necessary for the people to assist the Zhenwu Division in handling cases!"

"Now the three of us are asking you for information, but you refuse to provide it. I can take you to a martial prison to await your punishment!"

"Or, you want to follow me to the martial arts prison."

Sure enough, facing Lu Ze's unfriendly face, the waiter's aura couldn't help but weaken.

"You three officials, I really don't know who the farmer doctor you are talking about is."

The waiter looked aggrieved: "Why don't you go and inquire about it from other people, so you don't have to embarrass the villain."

If the farmer doctor’s address was informed by him.

So once the farmer doctor is taken away by three people, and something unexpected happens, the responsibility will definitely be on him.

By then, throughout Long'an Town, his reputation as a money-loving man will be firmly established, and it will be difficult for him to continue to hang out in Long'an Town in the future.

He didn't want to end up leaving his hometown because of this piece of silver.

The farmer doctor went to Tiankui City. If he accidentally got infected, he would end up dead. How could he repay kindness with hatred?

Lu Ze's face turned cold, and he pressed his right hand on the sword at his waist, and said coldly: "Since you don't drink wine as a fine, fine, I will take you to the martial arts center for disturbing my handling of the case."

I'll wait for you to go to jail!"

The waiter's face turned pale, and he said tremblingly: "I didn't make any mistakes, you can't arrest me."

At this moment, the owner of the tavern also came over.

"Three officials, the waiter is not sensible. If you have any questions, just tell me. I am the shopkeeper here and have been running a shop here for more than 30 years. As long as I know, I can tell you."

The shopkeeper said with an apologetic smile.

Lu Ze's face softened a lot, and then he said calmly: "Shopkeeper, I want to ask you, is this Nong Baicao Farmer in Long'an Town?"

"this"

The shopkeeper's tone couldn't help but hesitated, and then asked: "You three officials, may I ask what happened to you when you came to see the farmer doctor?"

"Now that a plague has broken out in Daokui City, a miracle doctor is urgently needed to control it."

Lu Ze said lightly: "We have heard for a long time that there is a miracle doctor named Nong Baicao in Long'an Town, and we came here to visit us. We hope that he can go to Tai'an City to see if we can find something from him that can control Tiankui City.

The problem of plague.”

Hearing Lu Ze's words, the shopkeeper's brows couldn't help but jump.

If this farmer doctor went to Tiankui City and was infected, would he still be able to come back alive?

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but show a troubled expression on his face.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come here.

"You three officials, how can there be any miracle doctor in Long'an Town? Farm doctors can only cure headaches, fevers and other illnesses. I'm afraid the farm doctors are also helpless to deal with the plague in Kuicheng today."

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Lu Ze's face turned cold. He was still thinking about rushing back to Tai'an City early tomorrow morning.

If you stay outside for a moment longer, your life will be in danger.

He has no intention of fighting with two little people here.

"Qiang!"

The Zhenwu knife came out of the body and made a clear crisp sound.

The expressions on the waiter's and the shopkeeper's faces changed dramatically, and they suddenly felt the temperature around them getting colder, and the hairs on their backs stood up.

"You should answer whatever I ask you."

Lu Ze said calmly: "Today, the situation in Kuei City is in crisis, and a large number of Jianghu warriors have even fled the city. If we can't find a cure, your Long'an town will become a barren land in less than half a month!"

"Have the martial arts warriors in Tiankui City escaped?"

When the shopkeeper and the waiter heard this, their expressions changed, and then they became uncertain.

If the Jianghu warriors in Tiankui City escape from the city, disaster will inevitably spread to other areas.

Long'an Town is only a few hundred miles away from Tiankui City. If martial artists from Tiankui City come to Long'an Town, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Now tell me where Dr. Nong Baicao Nong lives!"

Lu Ze said calmly: "I don't want to ask you a third time!"

The shopkeeper looked at the Zhenwu sword with a cold and cold light, and said tremblingly: "Sir, the farmer's house is at the end of the village in Long'an Town, and there is a lotus pond in front of the door."

"very good!"
