The concubine in the medicine pot is charming again, and the sick and tyrant obediently confesses 255 There Are Always Villains Who Think They Are Super Smart
255 There Are Always Villains Who Think They Are Super Smart
"Master Yu, how can this be a good thing? If someone else comes to control the plague, we can still give money and treasures to try to get rid of the official position and serve the people. But despite all our calculations, we didn't expect that the emperor sent this person.
O living Bodhisattva!"
"Isn't that just respecting the Bodhisattva? Not to mention being arrogant and favored, he is still untouchable. If we are not careful, let alone serving the people, I am afraid that all nine races will suffer..."
"Master Yu, you are confused! If you had discovered the plague earlier and dealt with it properly, how could we have ended up in this situation?"
…
In a teahouse at the junction of several counties, four county guards and four county governors were wearing black cloaks, meeting secretly under the guard of a group of officers and soldiers.
Just as Feng Wuyan sent people to investigate, the current plague is no longer a matter of Su County, but has spread with the wind to the neighboring Chu County, Wu County, Qin County...
As old neighbors of Su County, the officials of these three counties have long known about the plague. It’s not that they have never thought of reporting it. However, Su County is one of the four clans in the capital, and the power of the Wang family is deeply entangled...
Even if the Wang family has become a family slave with three surnames, and their power in the court is much less than before, it is not a matter of raising their hands to liquidate local county officials like them?
So they could only turn a blind eye and hope that Yu Gaoneng could take care of everything and not harm the three counties under their jurisdiction.
However, Yu Gao has been immersed in the officialdom for many years with his teacher Wang Zheng, and has long been a good dancer, and is very familiar with the art of trading power and money.
So he quickly prepared generous gifts for the officials of these three counties on the grounds that his inability to do things had made all his colleagues worried.
How generous is the gift?
They have probably been dominating the area for several years, trying hard to harvest the wealth and wealth of the people.
Yu Gao is a disciple of the Wang family, so when he raises his hand, there are piles of silver and pearls all over the ground, but what about local officials like them? Unless you are brave enough, you will never make enough in your lifetime.
So the moment they received this generous gift, the officials from the three counties all smiled and rolled their eyes.
Then I heard Yu Gao say that he had already ordered to seal off the villages and counties affected by the epidemic, and all the patients in the city were given medicine and buried, so there would be no other mistakes...
They believed it, accepted the gift, and kept silent...
Then the blockade failed.
First, many martial arts practitioners tried their best to leave the city, hoping to report the disaster in Su County to the court. Then, people from the three surrounding counties clearly did not go to Su County, but they still contracted the plague at home.
Within ten days, the plague spread from Su County to the three surrounding counties, and due to the movement of people in these three counties, it continued to spread to other counties in the river.
Such a terrifying momentum can no longer be suppressed by the officials from the four counties.
However, the house leaked and it rained all night long. Just when they were thinking hard about countermeasures and how to bribe their superiors to get out of the crime, not to save their official positions but only to save their lives, the news from the DPRK gave them a bolt from the blue.
Liang Shizi personally reported the news, and Xiao Guifei personally went to the river.
bribe?
Who to bribe?
Concubine Xiao?
Yes, the Xiao family used to be the poorest in Dayan, and they spent 365 days a year worrying about military expenses.
But since this noble concubine entered the capital, the Xiao family has been looking for money and food, not to mention all the court officials, and even the current emperor has been looking at her face.
It can be said that apart from the tyrant's personal visit, this arrival is definitely the worst outcome they can think of.
Once the imperial concubine arrives at the Four Counties, all their efforts to hide it will be in vain, and they will not only lose their own lives, but also the lives of everyone in the family.
So they can't be impatient, it's impossible not to be impatient...
Seeing that all his colleagues were anxious and wanted to eat him, Yu Gao, who was sitting in the first place, and Wu Yuan, the military commander of Su County beside him, looked calm.
It's not that they are confident, but they understand that they are at the end of their rope, and the only way to save themselves and the Wang family is to make a desperate move.
So Yu Gao stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back and said:
"You have a few words to explain today's situation. Would you like to hear it?"
After hearing this, all the officials immediately raised their heads, and their gray and gloomy expressions suddenly regained their vitality.
Then they heard Yu Gao say one word coldly:
"kill."
Mujun, Qinghe County.
"Mother, after passing this county, we will reach Qin County. After entering Qin, we can travel for at most two days before we reach Su County, where the plague is most serious."
On the carriage, Wen Susu, who was accustomed to traveling around, was looking at the map and chatting with Xiao Xiruo from time to time.
It had been five days since they set off from the capital. Not to mention the majestic royal motorcade, the accompanying group of imperial doctors and elites were already eye-catching enough.
Therefore, all their itineraries are under the eyes of others. Safety is safety, luxury is luxury. In Xiao Xiruo's words, "I am here, you come and deceive me" is written on their faces.
As we all know, there is a kind of project called face project, which is to calculate the right time for the leader to come and then give him a meal, so that everything he sees will be good.
This is true for inspections, and even more so for today’s plague.
So when Xiao Xiruo thought about the nature of the officials in this bloody article, and combined with the negative emotions he had received from officials in various counties in the past few days, he understood the thoughts of these people in minutes.
So on the night she left the capital, she left behind the large group escorted by Yiluan Guards and accelerated directly with Wen Susu and Chu Jiaojiao.
In order to prevent those so-called smart people from noticing in advance, she even left her Liuxue in the team, and only asked Wen Susu to mobilize a team of Hongchen secret guards, who traveled day and night.
For the sake of speed, she was driven by Wen Susu or Chu Jiaojiao in the first four days. However, she was a patient after all. Even if she exchanged negative emotions for internal body protection, she was still very tired.
Now that they were about to arrive in Qin County, they changed their carriages and horses, pretended to be merchants and moved to another place, and started to leisurely drive to their destination.
Firstly, it would allow Xiao Xiruo to regain his strength, and secondly, he would be able to observe the people along the way and inspect the group of local officials who were about to die.
There is no way, she, Xiao Xiruo, is a modern person after all, and she doesn't like to sit together directly.
After all, this plague has affected several counties, and there are as many officials involved as stars. Among so many people, there must be two innocent ones, right?
"Where is Su Jun? Is there anything wrong with the disciples of the Wang family?"
Leaning lazily on the soft couch, Xiao Xiruo suppressed the cough in her throat and looked at Wen Susu thoughtfully with her eyes.
Before she left, after delivering her property, her Ayan confessed something to her, which was the secret guard organization under his command, Hongchen, which was composed of the Owl tribe and the Dayan people.
People in the world of mortals are called guests of the world of mortals, and those who lead a group of guests of the world of mortals are called non-returners.
And the Poison Immortal Wen Susu beside her is one of the five non-returners under him.
Despite the fact that the Owl Clan usually remain anonymous, in fact, as early as the second day after they set out, the Red Dust Guests had quietly sneaked into Su County's city.
In other words, every move Yu Gao made in the past two days was actually under Xiao Xiruo's nose.
