Song Lingjun was silent for a moment, then he sat up straight, cupped his hands towards Lin Xi and said, "Miss Lin wants to know, so of course Song will tell you everything. To be honest, Miss Lin can cure the plague and dares to come here. Song admires her very much. To be honest with Lin, I admire her very much."

Girl, all the people in Pei County who are suffering from the plague are here, please give Miss Lin a helping hand!"

Lin Xi said: "Is this the only place?"

Song Lingjun immediately said: "Miss Lin is worried about the people who are infected with the plague in Jinling. It is true that she is righteous. Don't worry, Miss Lin, I know how to enter Jinling. Miss Lin can cure the plague. The officials in Jinling have no reason to refuse Miss Lin's arrival."

After finishing speaking, Song Lingjun looked at Lin Xi and spoke respectfully.

"If Miss Lin can cure the disease and relieve the plague, your reputation will be passed down from generation to generation, and the people will be grateful to you."

Lin Xi laughed when she heard these words, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"Song County Lieutenant, I thought that you and I had known each other since we were in Ruyang Ping County, and you had helped my family's Dabao enroll in school. Our friendship is somewhat different from ordinary people. But I didn't expect that you would also use your words to offend others.

"

Song Lingjun said calmly: "I don't understand what Miss Lin means."

"I can cure the plague. But I have to say it clearly."

Lin Xi frowned and said: "I don't know if you don't want to tell me because you think I, a prostitute, should not be involved in this, or because my husband-in-law has warned you before. But what I want to say is that I am not stupid, and it's not that I can't guess.

.”

She looked at the contents on the document, took out a clean piece of paper, took a brush and dipped it in ink, and drew while talking.

"If this is the area we are in, then use this to represent Jinling, Pei County to the west, and the mountains to the northwest. To sort out the ins and outs of the matter, it is that a commoner from Pei County disappeared in the mountains to the northwest.

He brought the plague with him when he came back. Not long after, the plague broke out, and people from Jinling City came quickly, and then the plague also broke out in Jinling."

Lin Xi pointed at the mountains to the northwest.

"In fact, I already knew not long ago that there were traces of the military marching here."

Song Lingjun suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi's voice was clear and calm, "The plague broke out very suddenly without any warning, which shows that the plague should not have appeared in Peixian County and Jinling. So combined with all the previous things, the common people we originally recovered from Peixian County

Start on top.”

"What if he saw something he shouldn't have seen when he disappeared in the mountains, such as the military forces in the mountains?"

Song Lingjun tightened his hands under the case.

"I heard Master Chen and Master Li say that within a radius of hundreds or thousands of miles of Jinling, only the Jiangyou area has troops allowed to be stationed by the imperial court. So these things that appear in the northwest mountains are illegal. Once discovered, they are guilty of the same crime.

The army is plotting rebellion. So these people will not let go of the people who discover them."

"Killing someone for nothing is easier for others to discover, so they thought of a way to let this person die naturally, and the method they used should be the plague. The people who disappeared in Pei County all died because of this, right? But,

What those people in the mountains did not expect was that someone would return to Pei County after being infected with the plague for several days and still survive. But even if he came back, this person would become seriously ill and die soon, but the plague would spread."

Lin Xi looked solemn, "The plague is extremely contagious. Once it breaks out in a large area, it is impossible for no one to notice it. So not long after it broke out, people from Jinling came. But they found that you were in office not long ago and your foundation is still shallow.

There is nothing to be afraid of. They just want the people of Pei County to fend for themselves and block you from contacting people outside."

Song Lingjun looked at Lin Xi with a strange look, "Why did the officials of Jinling City do this?"

"Because of the remnants of the old Chu." Lin Xi said.

Song Lingjun's eyes changed.

Lin Xi said: "There are quite a few remnants of the old Chu in Jinling. They have been operating for several years. They have attracted different people and have all kinds of things. It is not surprising. Furthermore, there is a plague for no reason. If the imperial court knows about it, their black gauze hats will not be protected."

Already."

"If my guess is correct, the traces of the march that appeared in the mountains are also those of the surviving people of the old Chu. Even though they decided to start an uprising, they probably didn't think of taking action so quickly. It was because the Peixian plague appeared too suddenly,

It caught them off guard. So they had to speed up."

"At the same time, they did not have enough manpower, so they came to Pei County and directly captured many young and strong men for use. This would also speed up the demise of Pei County. But what they never expected was that the people they took away were already infected.

Those who were infected with the plague brought the plague into Jinling City."

This is the most reasonable explanation that Lin Xi can deduce based on the information he has received so far.

Lin Xi asked: "Song County Lieutenant, is my guess correct?"

Song Lingjun looked directly at Lin Xi, his eyes changing several times.

Lin Xi couldn't tell what Song Lingjun meant when he looked at her, but she was sure of one thing, she guessed it right.

Sure enough, Song Lingjun nodded and said: "Yes. Miss Lin guessed it herself, not me who told you. In this case, Brother Shen can't blame me."

It’s really Shen Chen.

Lin Xi was really angry and distressed for a moment.

Shen Chen was angry that he wanted to hide it from her, but felt sad that Shen Chen had to bear so much when she didn't know.

When it came to Shen Chen, Lin Xi couldn't help it. She asked, "What happened to Song County Lieutenant and my husband? When did you get in touch? Why did Shen Chen send a message to Du Buyou, Wang Shou and the others so long ago?

Arrange for them to come to Pei County to meet you?"

Song Lingjun said this happily: "After I passed the scientific examination, I worked as a sinecure in Beijing for a period of time, and then I was assigned to serve as the county captain of Peixian County. Not long after I took office, I exchanged letters with Brother Shen. I always knew that Brother Shen was helping me.

I found someone to solve the bookstore issue, and I also know that Brother Shen also asked someone to take care of my family members."

Lin Xi thought about it for a moment.

Good guy, wasn't Shen Chen busy with her about opening a shop at that time?

At that time, Shen Chen was busy from morning to night just like her, and she had no time to pay attention to anything else. But Shen Chen could still take care of so many things??

After a similarly busy night, she was so tired that she fell asleep, but Shen Chen still had the energy to leave to see Wang Shou.

Is this really something a normal person can do?!!

"As for the matter of Brother Shen arranging Brother Du and others to live with me this time..." Song Lingjun flipped through the official documents on the ground, finally found an old one, and handed it to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi took it and opened it, and found that it was an official document reporting to Mingpei County about the disappearance of many people in the past.

She was confused: "Show me this..."

Song Lingjun explained seriously: "This is my first time as an official. I don't know how to deal with many official matters, and I am unable to handle them. I am afraid that I will not be able to provide justice to the people, so I often wrote to Brother Chen in Hai County for advice. Later, Brother Chen received the order.
