The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 49 The murderer behind this plague is targeting him

who am I?
Hearing Jia Ye's words, Xu Qingluo wiped his lips and smiled faintly.

Looking up at him, his eyes got rid of the disgust caused by the memory of the previous life, and some of them were only sharp in terms of facts.

"What you need to know now is not who I am, but who you are and what you should do. Rather than asking me about the time wasted by a little girl, shouldn't Vice-General Kasyapa go to deal with the urgent military situation now?"

The word "military sentiment" Xu Qingluo said heavily: "Soldiers take military law as the most important thing, ignore the orders of the generals, and those who make trouble and refuse to follow should be dealt with by military law! Even me, an unrelated little girl, knows it, and I don't know Kasyapa. Lieutenant General, you have even forgotten this most basic one, then what you do as Lieutenant General is really useless!"

Xu Qingluo's words were harsh, but they were also in line with the laws and regulations that should exist in the army. Just now, Lang Sheng and the soldiers behind him were panicked by Kasyapa's performance, and followed Kassapa's thoughts. But now that Xu Qingluo pointed it out so clearly, she instantly woke up.

That's right, Kasyapa is a second-rank lieutenant general, and when soldiers make trouble, especially a few recruits, he can handle it by himself. Why waste time to come here and invite the general to go here for a while, it is indeed a bit incompetent .

For a while, several soldiers looked at Kasyapa with strange eyes.

When Lang Sheng heard these words, he also had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Jiaye's heart trembled with resentment, why didn't he think that a girl with such a sharp edge would not dare to argue with Xu Qingluo, but turned to Langcheng: "General, it's not that the subordinates are incompetent, but the fact is that the soldiers who made troubles were only doing it for the sake of their families. The relatives are safe, it is justifiable, if those soldiers are disposed of in such a disregard of the morale of the army, it will be difficult for the situation."

Kasyapa's face was full of compassion.

It was as if those people who were about to die because of the disease were his flesh and blood relatives.

His acting skills are good, but he is a person who uses martial arts, how can he outsmart Xu Qingluo, a person who has lived two lives and has a delicate mind.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Lang Sheng's face darkened a bit.

It was obvious that even he could hear the inappropriateness in these words.

It's just that he didn't say it, just to save Kaya a little face in front of these soldiers.

And she, Xu Qingluo, was not familiar with Jia Ye, and there were some things that Lang Cheng couldn't say, but it didn't mean she couldn't say them.

"Compassion does not lead the army. The general told me two days ago that the deputy general Kasyapa has the qualifications to be a general. Now it seems that you don't even have the qualifications to be a deputy general. It is hard to be at ease with love. Could it be tolerated by the law? !"

Xu Qingluo approached Kasyapa step by step, she was obviously a petite girl, her stature was much shorter than Kassapa's, and she could only look up at the tall and tall opponent, but the girl's aura was stronger than Kassapa's It is a kind of fearlessness, a kind of toughness: "Since Deputy General Kassapa said that the recruits who caused troubles for their relatives were justifiable and could not bear to do so, then I would like to ask, if one day the enemy attacked the city and tied up the relatives of the soldiers under the city, Is it justifiable for those soldiers to surrender to the enemy because they cared about their relatives, and it is difficult to deal with them!"

To put it mildly, it is indeed too much to deal with those soldiers, but to put it in a big way, it is related to the loyalty of the soldiers. Such issues are naturally worthy of attention.

Hearing Xu Qingluo's example, Lang Sheng's eyes lit up with a little fire.

He didn't think of this at the beginning, but Jia Ye, as a lieutenant general, why didn't he think of it?

Kasyapa's various thoughts were pressing on Xu Qingluo's step by step, and he couldn't utter all of them under the sound of shouting. He didn't dare to answer this sentence at all. If he dared to refute Xu Qingluo's analogy, it would be possible for him to surrender to the enemy. It turned out that what was waiting for him was the severance of Qingyun Road, and it was more likely to bring him a fatal disaster.

If he agrees, his face will be swollen immediately.

He stared at her, speechless, his expression stiffened inch by inch.

He was thinking, who exactly is this Xu Qingluo, and why a woman can have such a view.

And more importantly, how did such a woman end up by Lang Sheng's side.

"Jiaye, you should go back to the gate of the city immediately to deal with this matter. You must not allow the situation to expand again. Everything is to control the spread of the plague. There must be no mistakes! Langwei, you go to assist Jiaye. , everything comes according to military law."

Lang Cheng looked at Jiaye frowning, with unpredictable emotions in his eyes, he suddenly gave orders to the other party and Lang Wei, but he directly gave the order to die.

"Subordinates obey!"

Langwei accepted the order happily. Even though he had always admired and liked Kasyapa, after Xu Qingluo's experience, he still felt that the other party's handling of things was not right. Able to trouble the elder brother.

"Subordinate, obey!"

Jiaye lowered his head, and accepted the order honestly, but his eyes were full of anger and ferocity. It doesn't matter, there are many things that can be used for this matter. Even if he obeys the military law according to Lang Sheng's order, he still has a lot of opportunities to dig for the other party. pit.

It's just a fool with no roots and a humble background. He can always trample the opponent under his feet.

After receiving the order, he didn't have the chance to stay any longer, and left with Langwei directly.

And behind him, Xu Qingluo looked at the backs of the two of them, the palm of Langcheng's hand trembling faintly, not fear but anger, it turned out that from so early on, Kaye had been looking for every opportunity to trip this man child.

But the solid Lang Sheng never noticed it, and he was wholeheartedly trying to find a future for him.

How kind the man must be to do that.

Thinking of this, and thinking of the previous life, Xu Qingluo only felt a slight pain in his heart.

I feel sorry for him.

Lang Sheng didn't understand what was going on in Xu Qingluo's heart, thinking that Xu Qingluo was worried about the things at the gate of the city, so he squeezed the hands of some young girls with his big hands: "Everything is up to me."

I won't let anything happen to you.

As for Jia Ye, Lang Cheng suddenly felt that his previous thinking was too simple, but now it seems that many things really need to be discussed in the long run.

"Well, thanks to you."

Xu Qingluo raised her head and smiled, with a little bit of joy in her smile, fortunately there is still time for everything.

----

The office worker in the county government arrived just when Xu Qingluo and Kassapa were confronting each other, and while Xu Qingluo was talking to Lang Sheng, he had already come out of the back room.

Just because they have been talking to Jia Ye, he has been standing on the sidelines and never interrupted.

Xu Qingluo retracted his eyes tactfully, and saw Wu Zuo.

Naturally, Lang Sheng did too.

"how?"

He opened his mouth slightly and asked the trembling old man.

"General, here are the test results."

The old man in charge was followed by a young apprentice. He took the completed autopsy form from the other party, and handed it to Lang Sheng tremblingly: "According to the old man's investigation, all five members of the Wang family died of poisoning. After being poisoned, he was hanged and then thrown into the well, and the time of death is estimated to be six or seven hours from here."

Although the old man's movements were trembling, the method of autopsy was extremely powerful: "The old man guessed that they should all have been poisoned by arsenic. I don't know which pharmacy sold this arsenic. After all, it is a very common thing. , but it is not a small amount for a family of five to die.”

As the old clerk spoke, he began to condemn some pharmacies for their poor management.

Xu Qingluo's face was condensed, she looked at Lang Cheng who also had an ugly face, and sneered: "Six or seven hours ago, he died last night."

It seems that this matter has become complicated.

After she finished speaking, she went straight into the house. Lang Sheng saw Xu Qingluo leaving in a hurry, so he followed her in if he couldn't stop her.

The smell of blood inside was extremely strong. After all, most things like autopsies are somewhat bloody. Xu Qingluo didn't look at the other people. When he walked up to the body of the child named Erdan, the light in his eyes froze into frost little by little.

"Lu'er, what are you looking at?"

Standing beside Xu Qingluo, Lang Sheng looked at Er Dan's body, which had already been disembowelled by the foreman. He didn't know what else Xu Qingluo could see.

It's just that from the bottom of my heart, I don't really want Xu Qingluo to see too many bloody scenes like this.

After all, she is still a woman, and he should block all this for her in front of her.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty Lang Sheng felt.

Naturally, Xu Qingluo didn't know what Lang Sheng was thinking, but Lang Sheng also didn't know what she was thinking.

"Everything was premeditated. Although this child didn't really get the plague at first, he ate cinnabar by mistake. People like cinnabar will not have it. It is much rarer than arsenic. First, use this child to divert attention and attract everyone. In the end, once the plague breaks out, the Xu family is a ready-made scapegoat."

"Yes, the people behind the scenes must be calculating like this, because the common people don't know the child's condition, they just think that the Xu family failed to cure the child, causing the plague to spread, and then, the Xu family is the sinner of Huai County, When the time comes, the common people jointly demand to deal with the Xu family, if you, a general, protect the Xu family, you will be against the common people, and it will be a fatal taboo for you!"

"This person is really a good plan!"

Xu Qingluo was very calm, calmly analyzing everything from yesterday to today.

After talking a lot in a row, her eyes became more and more cold, and her eyes staring at Er Dan's corpse became more and more vicious.

Hearing the girl's clear words, Lang Sheng walked up to her and put his arms around her shoulders: "No matter who is behind it, I will not let anyone hurt you."

He also thought of what Xu Qingluo said.

The common people and the Xu family can tell from the insults of those people below the medicine building that they are very difficult to deal with. If the plague is not under control, the consequences will be more serious. In the end, it will be difficult to deal with it. It's him.

It seems that the person behind this scene wants to deal with not others, but him!

"This matter may be really strange."

A voice came from the door, it was Xu Liang.

He walked into the house with a solemn expression, and stopped in front of the five corpses placed side by side on the ground, with a sigh on his face. The Wang family and his Xu family have been neighbors for more than ten years. I asked for candy in my hand, but I didn't expect to be ruined in one day.

"Father, what happened three years ago, please tell us why you were able to know about the plague in the army."

Xu Qingluo walked up to Xu Liang, stared fixedly at him and said in a pleading tone, maybe this is the clue. For the present plan, it is not to find the person behind it, but to find out who broke out in Huai County first. The source of clues to the so-called plague, and even found a way to rescue it.

Lang Sheng also looked at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang sighed. Things have developed to the present stage, and some things can no longer be hidden: "Three years ago, there was a plague in the Rehe army. In order not to prevent many doctors from nearby, my senior brother was one of them. It's just that he Unlike others, he escaped from the fire that broke out three days later."

Xu Liang shook his head while talking, obviously, he felt very uncomfortable when he mentioned that matter.

Lang Cheng frowned: "I checked the corpses after the fire, and none of them were missing."

"It is not necessarily our own people who died in the fire."

Xu Qingluo's words made Lang Sheng's eyes darken.

A fire for no reason, not a conspiracy.

Since it's a conspiracy, it's man-made, it's not my own, it's someone else.

"What happened later? What happened to Shibo's senior brother?"

Lang Sheng's voice sank.

"Later? Then my senior brother died."

A sad look appeared on Xu Liang's face: "The fire burned all his flesh and blood. Although he managed to escape with one breath, he had to live for a few more days. He died of suffering. Before he died, my senior brother The word 'Yujia' was kept on his lips, and after so many years, I still don't know what he meant, whether it was the person who harmed him or someone else."

"Yuja, Yuja"

Lang Sheng read these two words thoughtfully.

Xu Qingluo hurriedly looked at him: "You know him?"

Lang Cheng frowned: "It's not the name."

He clenched his fists: "If my guess is correct, the word Youjia is not the dialect of the Central Plains, but the dialect of the Western Regions. It means red snake in the Western Regions. Red snakes are a very evil species in the Western Regions. It is said that Only those who practice witchcraft will use it."

"Could it be that the fire was related to the Western Regions?"

Xu Qingluo is very sensitive.

Lang Sheng nodded and then shook his head, he murmured softly: "It should be irrelevant."

"Why are you sure it has nothing to do with it? Since Uncle Shi was the only survivor of the fire three years ago, and when he died, he would read—"

"Laoer!"

Xu Liang interrupted Xu Qingluo's questioning: "Since the general said so, there must be reasons we don't know about. Don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked."

Xu Qingluo closed her mouth unwillingly, said oh, but secretly glanced at Langcheng, anyway, when Xu Liang was away, she had plenty of ways to get the answer from the man.

At this moment, one of Lang Cheng's personal soldiers came in, but a soldier came to report that the matter at the city gate had been settled, and Kasyapa invited Lang Cheng to go.

Xu Qingluo held Lang Sheng's hand, although she didn't say anything, she obviously wanted to go with him.

Xu Liang hadn't noticed it just now, but now he noticed it. He was a little surprised, and wanted to say something, and smiled embarrassedly at Xu Qingluo.

For a while, the mood of being a little depressed because of the memory was wiped away because of the sudden speculation in my heart.

Lang Sheng met Xu Liang's eyes, and subconsciously wanted to let go of the hand he held with Xu Qingluo, but was firmly held by the girl. He opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain: "."

"Let's go quickly."

Xu Qingluo took Langsheng's hand and walked out first. I believe her father is very satisfied with Langsheng as his future son-in-law. After all, Xu Liang introduced Langsheng's benefits to her in every possible way in his previous life.

Xu Liang looked at Lang Sheng who was led away by Xu Qingluo, dumbfounded, did something important happen without him knowing?
There was a dead silence beside the city gate. There were soldiers on one side and civilians on the other. There was a clear line between them. There were so many people, but no one dared to speak out. However, the soldiers and civilians looked at Langcheng with fear, disappointment and fear. A trace of hatred.

Xu Qingluo looked at the dozen or so decapitated corpses on the ground in soldiers' attire, and suddenly raised his head to look at Kassapa who was walking towards this side. According to the military law, all these people should not be decapitated.

"Report to the general, according to the general's order, the most culprits will be beheaded in accordance with the military law, and the other 23 people have all been arrested, please deal with the general!"

Just following the general's order, all the crimes were blamed on Lang Sheng.

"Big brother."

Lang Wei followed behind Kasyapa, his face was pale, and his eyes were a little frightened, obviously he couldn't handle the current situation at all.Along with them came more than [-] soldiers who were tied up in Wuhuada. Some of them were full of panic, some of them were full of resentment, but they couldn't speak because they were gagged by cloth scarves.

It seems that the situation is really under control, but in this seemingly quiet place, the magma of unrest will erupt at any time. Maybe Lang Sheng doesn't know people, doesn't know how to plan, but he will lead the army!

The more chaotic the situation, the more it is necessary to use both kindness and force. The result of blindly suppressing is only a bigger rebound.

Lang Cheng looked at Kasyapa with cold eyes, and only saw him bowing his head respectfully.

"Now is the time to purge the military program."

Xu Qingluo held down Lang Sheng's hand, and there were faint veins popping out on the back of the other's hand.

Lang Sheng took a deep breath, took out his hand from under Xu Qingluo's palm, and took a step forward. His back was straight, but he just stood there with an unspeakable bearing: "I am Lang Sheng, I don't care about you." If you say that the superiors must order the subordinates must obey them, today I will only ask one question, why do you serve as soldiers!"

"General?"

Kasyapa wants to stop it.

"Langwei, get rid of what they say!"

Lang Sheng ordered, without even looking at Kasyapa, he was a little disappointed with what he did today.

Lang Wei quickly ran to the twenty or so soldiers and took the cloth from their mouths one by one.

"General, general, please spare me. I just made trouble when I was confused."

"General, we joined the army to defend our country, and now you want to take our family away and destroy it, how can we not resist!"

"General, if you want to kill our relatives, kill us first!"

"I came here just to make my family live a better life, but in the end I wanted to follow the army to harm my family. I quit!"

"General, I joined the army because I admired you. Now I regret it. You are not worthy to be a general. Those brothers are not wrong. You ordered someone to kill them, and you will be punished!"

Some people cursed, some begged for mercy, and even the suppressed people on both sides began to cry. From time to time, some people called out the name of each other to the soldiers who were tied up. They were obviously their relatives, and some people knelt down and begged Lang Sheng to release their relatives. One life.

Lang Cheng listened one by one, and when Kassapa was about to draw out the waist knife impatiently, he pressed his hand firmly, and the look in Lang Cheng's eyes made Kassapa dare not move for a while.

"I understand. Some of you serve as soldiers for your own ambitions, some for your family's better life, and some for serving the court. They all speak well and have ambitions."

Lang Cheng said calmly, standing in front of the city gate, he pulled out his sword fiercely, and slashed at the stone tablet next to the city gate.

"Then let me ask you, are you using the current method, rebelling, resisting orders, making trouble, and useless scolding to realize your wish to be a soldier?"

Lang Cheng sneered, his figure was already a bit taller than normal men, but at this moment he looked more and more indomitable: "The courage of a man is just to show off his abilities, and achieve nothing!"

"You can't even resist my sword edge, so you want to disobey the military order. How ridiculous, you can't save your relatives at all."

"Law and discipline are nothing more than human feelings. Even if it is ridiculous, those brothers who were killed are wronged! They are just for their families!"

A bound soldier shouted, and at the same time, there were several loud cries from the people.

Xu Qingluo saw that the veins in Lang Sheng's sword-holding hand became more and more tense, and she felt pain in her heart.

Lang Sheng didn't pay attention to Xu Qingluo's gaze, and his eyes fell on the dozen or so corpses on the ground: "Just for the family? I can say today that these people who were decapitated deserve to die, not because they violated military discipline, no Because they rebelled against my order, but because they did something wrong, the plague is such a big deal, if you don’t isolate the sick, what about the others? Could it be that just because they miss their loved ones, they let other people’s relatives die! "

"Whoever has no parents, wives and children, if they don't obey the military order, they will act recklessly and release their sick relatives. Let me ask you, who can take care of the people in the city, the order of the whole army!"

The person who was crying and cursing angrily just now stopped his voice unknowingly.

"You said, should the soldiers who disobeyed the military order, refused to isolate the sick, and almost buried everyone be killed!"

Lang Sheng's eyes were full of murderous intent, and no one said a word.

"Military orders are not the words of the family. They are not for me to kill people at will. I am the general and you are soldiers. What I shoulder is the lives of all the soldiers who obey my orders. Only when the military orders are unblocked can they be completed faster and better. What you want to do is to save the lives of the most people at the beginning of the plague, so that you will not die before you realize your wishes when you fight against alien races in the future!"

"From today, Huai County will be taken over by the army, and all matters will be decided by me, but anyone who violates the order will be killed!"

Xu Qingluo looked at the upright man almost fascinated.

"Where the plague has been, there is not one out of ten. Extinction of households has never been uncommon. I, Lang Cheng, will tell you today that if the plague is not eradicated, I will live and die with the people of this city every day!"

"Also, I will call all the doctors to try my best to treat those isolated people, but if there is one person who doesn't give up, I will never give up!"
