Chapter 464
"Sir, make a decision quickly, it's about your future!" Leng Yingchun threatened.
"Yingchun is not an exaggeration. The fame you have worked hard to achieve is not easy to maintain, so don't ruin it in one move." Qin Xiaoxiao fanned the flames.
"Princess Mandao, can you ensure that the people's poisoning is caused by iron ore?" Lord Li had no idea.
"Yes, before there were not so many iron smelting shops, I had never heard of a large-scale poisoning incident in Sucheng." Leng Yingchun answered firmly.
"Iron ore is quite dangerous to be placed in Sucheng. If it is not removed, it will inevitably cause many ordinary people to be poisoned again. If there are too many toxins, it may be in danger of life and people are gone. This place will inevitably become a waste city. Do you think your official hat can still be worn?" Qin Xiaoxiao approached Lord Li and asked.
"But..." I wanted to hold on for a while, "Or, let's see in another year or two?"
"Don't hesitate anymore. The sooner this dangerous thing is removed, the better!" Leng Yingchun said anxiously, "If you don't believe me, you will definitely regret it afterwards."
"Then let's discuss it again. If there is a result, then feedback? Thank you for your hard work, Princess Mandao is here to take the clinic?"
Lord Li was in vain and didn't know if he wouldn't have that much money to hand over to the treasury after removing the iron smelting shops. If the bureaucrats in the capital would have an impact on his future.
"Sir, the people by the river are in a bad state. You are welcome to ask Princess Mandao to support me." A yamen operator ran in to interrupt Lord Li's contemplation.
"There are no more patients here. Princess Mandao, so I'll go and see how?" Lord Li stood up and begged.
"Let's go!" Leng Yingchun didn't delay for a moment, and walked out holding Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.
Lord Li ordered one or two officials to stay in the yamen to answer questions and do things for the people, and followed them happily.
When they arrived by the river, they saw a lot of white cloth covered on the ground, surrounded by many people who were crying and robbing the sky and trying to kill them. They probably knew that those people were not rescued.
Leng Yingchun saw Leng Yinghuan who was silent beside her, and hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Huan, what's going on?"
"When I came here, they were already lying on the ground. A few people could not be saved at all. The rest of them were basically heart-to-heart. I tried hard to save them, but I still couldn't save their lives."
Leng Yinghuan's eyes were filled with melancholy, and he doubted his medical skills for the first time.
"Wow, why are their faces all black and purple?" Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh when the wind blew a piece of white cloth, reflecting the appearance of a dead person.
"That must be a sign of poisoning!" Lord Li made a judgment and came over to ask respectfully, "Princess Mandao, can you tell us why people by the river are so poisoned?"
"Of course, the water source is polluted. They are the first to be affected and become the first victims." Leng Yingchun patted Lord Li on the shoulder. "If you don't listen to me and make a decision for this, more and more people will die. Now, the people are afraid of your official position and dare not fight against you. When the dead people accumulate a certain number, their families will arouse anger. Can you still stay calm and rest assured?"
Lord Li woke up in time, "Then follow the arrangements of Princess Mandao!"
Immediately, some yamen servants were called to let them walk around Sucheng and told everyone that for the safety of the people, the government would probably make a thorough rectification of the iron smelting shop and make them prepare for closing the shop.
In order to comfort Leng Yinghuan, Leng Yingchun took him to relax.
The information that the government wants to close iron smelting shops has confused the people. Some time ago, the government encouraged everyone to open more stores and strive to make more money. Why did it take the store to close in the blink of an eye?
They gathered together and whispered, guessing that this was probably the government beggar everyone, just to let everyone find them and hand over some of the money.
In order to find out the truth, they stopped their work and arrived at the yamen. When Lord Li came back, he was already sitting there waiting for their inquiries.
"Sir, why did we close the iron shop?
This is an industry that our Sucheng has finally developed!”
The iron smelting shop represents a tall and thin brother. His long-term iron smuggling makes him particularly dark.
"I know everyone wants to make a big profit while taking advantage of the momentum, but this strong wind has stimulated the toxins hidden in the people of Sucheng. If Princess Mandao and Master Yinghuan tried their best to detoxify everyone, there would probably be more people who died."
Lord Li sat upright, "Princess Mandao detected that the cause of poisoning is that the iron ore may have toxic gases or substances left. It fermented through the air and the iron smelting furnace and transported to the human body. If you continue to open a shop, you will inevitably transport more ores. The poison from the mountains will come out and kill more people."
"Sir, all this is the speculation of Princess Mandao. Now each of our family has a larger ironware order. If the store is closed, it may be a lot of money. You should let us complete it before talking about it." The tall and thin man said anxiously.
"I have learned that those orders have not been fully delivered. I may not buy them if I say nothing," Mr. Li was very calm.
"That's right, but we have promised others to deliver the goods within the specified time. If we regret it, wouldn't they spread rumors everywhere that we are not trustworthy? Who will come to us to buy iron tools in the future?" The tall and thin man asked after everyone discussed it.
"This is not something you can do. I see that all of you have bad faces. I guess you have been poisoned. But your body is relatively strong and the toxins have not yet erupted. I am really afraid that if you continue, you have accumulated to a certain level, you have all fallen down. What's the point of earning more money?" Lord Li stood up and looked at them. "There were many of your relatives here to see the medical treatment last night? Do you feel good when you see them so uncomfortable?"
They were whispering again, always feeling that it would be a pity to give in to the money they had finally earned, but iron smelting will produce poisonous gas and threaten the health of their families, so they dare not take risks.
Just when they were in a dilemma, Leng Yingchun walked in with a man from the iron smelting shop.
"Princess Mandao, come and sit!" Lord Li walked steadily in front of Leng Yingchun with a stool. "The Xiaguan has mentioned the pros and cons to them. They are people who understand the truth and will definitely follow the princess's thoughts."
"Even if you don't listen, you have to obey. Liu San, tell them about your experience." Leng Yingchun sat down.
"Yes, everyone, in order to make more money, I quickly made a hundred big swords, and excitedly called the people who set up iron tools to inspect the acceptance. They thought they could make money, but they used a sharp sword to cut the big swords in half. Not only did they not pay, but they said that my quality was not good, which was equivalent to wasting their time and spending their money, and asking me to give them one thousand taels of silver as compensation."
Liu San beat his chest and stamped his feet. He was about to leave at that time and wanted to find the government to help recover the losses.
Who knew that the people from the White Tiger Kingdom tied him up and locked him up in a house outside the wild.
I was hungry for two days, as if I had passed a century, but I didn't give up shouting.
Just as the Marquis' secret guard and the people from Wanshi Pavilion were searching for the danger set up by the White Tiger Kingdom hidden in the mountains and forests, they heard his call for help and immediately rescued him. After some inquiries, they sent him to Leng Yingchun.
"What? How can the iron weapon you have worked hard to make them chopped off with a sword? They were locked up and had to pay a thousand taels of silver. Isn't this a robbery?" Lord Li hammered the pillar, "If I'm not wrong, their tricks to deal with you will be the same."
"Let us work and have to extort money. Who is this person? Is there any reason to be honest?" The tall and thin man became anxious. He wanted to make a big profit and get married.
"They are from the White Tiger Country, insidious and cunning, and have no integrity at all. Not long ago, we discovered their house in the mountains in Shiliu Village, where they raised many wolves and ice snakes, trying to control the Shiliu Village and headed towards the capital." Leng Yingchun revealed the conspiracy of the White Tiger people.
"If we hadn't known their thoughts in advance, Marquis and Yingchun wouldn't have sent anyone
Go searching the mountains."
Leng Yinghuan walked in. He had adjusted his mentality and understood that his medical skills were not omnipotent. Occasionally, some people failed to come back, which was normal.
"Through all signs of the White Tiger Kingdom, they want to dismantle us from within, so that our descendants will become their slaves and serve them for generations."
Leng Yingchun looked solemn, knowing how difficult it is to give up making a fortune if everyone gives up.
"We will never allow future generations to become slaves of the country." Lord Li raised his hand, "Friends, you can earn money again if you lose your money. If you lose your home country, you can't earn anything."
"Sir, we cannot let foreigners destroy our ore resources, and we cannot be caught in their conspiracy and tricks, and pay them home to take them to the army, which will in turn harm us." Liu Sanbang said.
After being rescued, he vowed to expose the disgusting behavior of the Baihu people and prepare everyone.
"Yes, we must have a sense of family and country, and we must not let foreigners act as a mighty man on our territory." The tall and thin person raised his hands, "Brothers, we can lose our iron shop and return to the garden and the countryside, or we can be poor, but we cannot be led by others."
The crowd suddenly became lively, and Lord Li looked at Leng Yingchun with a smile, "Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied!" Leng Yingchun nodded, "No further ado, let everyone stop smelting iron and transport the iron ore that has not yet been used to the mountains and forests."
"Okay!" Lord Li walked into the crowd again, "Friends, let's transport the iron ore that harms us back, let the forest purify their poisonous gas, and then pile up the stone dandruff to deal with it in a unified manner."
"Sir, even if the dandruff is cleared, it may not be appropriate. So many people living by the river have died, so how can we make the river better?" someone asked.
"Nature has the ability to heal itself. As long as you don't apply toxins to them, sprinkle them with sand and add our pills, it will slowly remove the toxins." Leng Yingchun gave everyone a reassurance.
"It's not too late, everyone will leave!" Lord Li ordered.
