Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 140 Set fire to the village, Wei Zhong was captured (1)
I saw a group of people dressed in black all over the dust flying towards Tianshui Village. The leader had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fierce look. After he entered the village, he blocked the road at the entrance of the village and went straight to Tian Liusu home.

When he arrived at her house, he waved his hand and the group of men in black surrounded the villagers from all directions. The villagers didn't know why, and they had never seen such a big scene.

Among the crowd, Tian Liusu looked deeply at the leading general, and said a word softly.

"Who are you?" Tian Liusu saw that the villagers had been frightened by the roaring men in black, and no one dared to speak, so he took a step forward and asked the leader.

"The magistrate of the county ordered that a plague broke out in Yangguan Village. The epidemic has spread, the village has been closed, and everyone in the village has been quarantined. However, Gu Shaolin, a scholar in the village, escaped alone. I learned that this person is now in the In your Tianshui Village, the county magistrate is afraid of the spread of the epidemic, so he ordered Tianshui Village to be temporarily closed and the villagers to be isolated, and it will be executed immediately."

After the man finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the group of people immediately dispersed and surrounded the villagers. Now that they were getting closer, and each of them was holding a torch, the villagers saw clearly that those people were actually The man's face was covered with a black cloth, only revealing a pair of dark and lifeless eyes.

Tian Liusu became even more worried. In her previous life, she was engaged in theft and wandered in the dark all the year round. She was very sensitive to people's breath. These people are definitely not from the regular army. The people in the regular army should be full of iron and blood. , Bright air, and these people are cold and gloomy, like killers who specialize in shady things, she faintly feels that the nobleman is not far away from her.

Qin Baozhu was also in the crowd at this time. Seeing that these people came in a bad manner, he thought about the countermeasures in his heart, and at the same time stepped forward to ask that person: "Where are you from the yamen? Do you have a warrant from the magistrate?"

The man looked at Qin Baozhu in silence for a while, waved his hand back, and a person behind came out of the queue, shook his hand, and a document with the seal of the county magistrate of Longquan County was displayed in front of everyone.

"Look clearly, this is the village closure document signed by the magistrate of Longquan County. Now, you all go back to your homes, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the village." The man in black who was holding the document retreated back after the man waved his hand.

The villagers suddenly became agitated, and everyone was frightened. They didn't know what to do with them after the village was sealed off. This kind of incident on New Year's Eve was something that Tianshui had never experienced in hundreds of years. It was still lively just now. Watching the fireworks in a row, he became a prisoner in an instant, and was slaughtered like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Wait, I'm the owner of the Qin Family Manor." At this moment, Qin Baozhu raised his leg and stood up to explain his identity.

The man frowned slightly, but still smiled sinisterly: "What's wrong with the owner of the Qin Family Manor? He still has to be quarantined if he is infected with the plague."

"Who said we were infected with the plague? The villagers of Tianshui Village are all fine, why do you surround this place for no reason?" Qin Baozhu argued hard.

"Is Gu Shaolin, the scholar who escaped from Yangguan Village, in your village?"

"It's on my Zhuangzi, but the scholar's disease has been cured, and we are not infected."

"The doctor in Yangguan Village has confirmed that the people in the village have an epidemic infectious disease. At this time, more than a dozen people in the village have been infected and died. How can you be credible based on your one-sided words?"

"If you don't believe me, I can send someone to Qin's Village to find that scholar. He has been cured by Lao Liangtou of our village. You can send someone to treat him. The prescription for the epidemic disease, and I plan to go to Yangguan Village and use that prescription to heal the people in the village tomorrow after the new year."

Seeing that these people came fiercely, Qin Baozhu tried to negotiate with them in a relatively peaceful manner, hoping to resolve the matter.

"Cure? It's ridiculous. It's a joke in the world. When in the history of the apocalypse has anyone cured the plague? From ancient times to the present, has there ever been a plague that was either treated or burned?" The leading man in black Gradually becoming impatient, Qin Baozhu stopped talking with a wave of his hand.

"How can it not be cured? The scholar is a living example. Besides, the imperial court has clear regulations that outsiders are not allowed to enter Qinjiazhuang at will. This place has always been independent of the Tianqi Dynasty. If any official wants to enter, You must ask His Majesty for an imperial decree, and you probably don’t have the right to seal up Tianshui Village just based on the letter of the county magistrate of Longquan County.”

"Of course I know the imperial court's regulations, but now is an extraordinary period. Tianshui Village is infected with the plague, not other things. Even if the emperor knows it, he will definitely make the same decision. If any of you escape Going out and spreading the disease to other places will cause a catastrophe?" The man seemed to know that Qin Baozhu would say this, so he had planned his speech early in the morning.

After the man finished speaking, he didn't allow them to distinguish any more, and ordered those men in black to completely seal off the surrounding area of ​​the village and stop talking to everyone.

The villagers gathered together and looked at each other. At this moment, everyone lost their backbone, so they looked at Qin Baozhu and Tian Liusu expectantly.

Qin Baozhu and Tian Liusu analyzed for a long time, thinking that these people must not dare to mess around, so they let them go home first, and after dawn, he went out of the village to Longquan County to find the county magistrate to rescue him and asked him what was going on.

Tian Liusu shook her head. She didn't think so. First of all, these people were not from the regular army. Secondly, they came here a little strangely. If Tianshui Village was really infected with such a serious disease, Qin Baozhu should come forward and report it to Longquan County. The county magistrate, and then the county magistrate will report to the emperor level by level and then the emperor will make a decision before the government can send officers and soldiers to seal the village or take other measures. However, these people are dressed in black and cover their faces, as if deliberately concealing their identities So she suspected that someone just found out that Gu Shaolin was in Qinjiazhuang, and used this incident to blame Tianshui Village for the plague.

Thinking of this, she analyzed it from various aspects again, and felt that the possibility was very high, but she did not explain to the villagers that if she said something, it was impossible for the villagers to show their mouths out of impatience or have a relationship with these black people. If there is a conflict between the people in the clothes, it will inevitably be a life-and-death situation.

She told Qin Baozhu her thoughts, Qin Baozhu pondered for a long time and felt that what she said made sense, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

"Susu, if you say so, what should we do now? Let them go back first, beware of this tonight, and make a conclusion tomorrow morning?"

"No, they surrounded the village so suddenly, if there is any conspiracy, they will definitely not wait until tomorrow, so we have to start making some arrangements now."

Tian Liusu remembered what the village chief said before. If she still stayed in Tianshui Village, then the nobles in the capital would definitely not let all the villagers in Tianshui Village go. He didn't agree with Qin Baozhu's proposal. Maybe the day lily would be cold until tomorrow.
