Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 77
Xie Jinhua wanted to take away the child's body and a few people who were closer to the child just now, all the people present were not good-looking.

The dozen or so guards around her all drew their long knives around their waists. At the beginning, no one dared to act rashly. After all, Xie Jin painted a line that was either rich or expensive, and not easy to provoke.

But at the next moment, a voice appeared from the crowd: "This woman must have colluded with Huichuntang, everyone, don't be caught and taken away by these people, they will definitely deal with us!"

"Yes, she may be the backer of Huichuntang. This quack doctor who harms people can't be dismissed like this."

"The people in the yamen will also cover up the Huichuntang. Isn't the life of our common people our life? We must give us an explanation, we will not leave!"

"Everyone leave this woman behind!"

"We have a lot of people, and we are all innocent people. They dare not kill people!"

"Everyone, come on!"

Voices came from different directions of the crowd, and in an instant, those people who were stunned by the guards around Xie Jinhua became excited again.

"Yes, she must be from Huichuntang, sending us to the yamen? I think it's a collusion between government and businessmen, so that the child's death will be for nothing!"

Some people continued to echo those provocative words, and then the common people began to look at Xie Jinhua with bad eyesight. Some people took a step forward, and some picked up the tables, chairs and benches around them.

Xie Jinhua narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly scanned the places where he made a provocative voice just now, and recorded the faces of those who shouted the loudest.

"Miss Xie, something is not right, you go first."

The guard commander frowned and protected Xie Jinhua behind his back
"Take that child's body away first."

Xie Jinhua left this sentence, and the next moment, there were vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, stones and other things coming towards Xie Jinhua, but among them, there was also the sound of sharp weapons piercing through the air.

The sharp weapon came towards Xie Jin's screen door like lightning. At first, the guards thought it was just the rotten eggs of the common people. , the accompanying maids were shocked by the accident and screamed, running around, making the place even more chaotic.

Xie Jinhua felt something was wrong at first, she noticed the attack of the flying knife at the first time, she dodged to avoid it, but suddenly she was bumped by a person dressed as a court lady, and she was looking at Xie Jinhua About to be hurt by the knife.

With a ding, an arrow pierced from the end of the street, and nailed the flying knife to the ground.

Xie Jinhua raised his eyes, and saw a somewhat familiar young man coming on horseback.

It's him?

"I suspect that there are alien spies here. Everyone present is not allowed to leave. Check one by one!"

The young man led a hundred soldiers in armor behind him, and all of them answered yes when he gave an order, and then drew their long knives out of their sheaths, surrounding the street in front and back.

Just such a siege completely calmed down those people who had gone crazy just now.

"My lord, my lord, the little one is wronged."

"The small ones just want to reason."

"The villain is not some alien spy."

"Your Excellency is aware."

Although Xie Jinhua and his party look rich, they are women and guards, but these people afterward are soldiers with knives, and the common people are subconsciously more afraid of the latter.

Many people threw away the things in their hands, their faces were full of fear and panic, and some even knelt on the ground and cried out for grievances.

Bailifeng's face was frozen, and he turned a deaf ear to the cries of injustice, but searched the crowd with his eyes.

Some people in the crowd felt cold and lowered their heads unconsciously.

Half of Bailifeng's men surrounded the two ends of the long street, and half of them searched one by one among the crowd.

A thin black figure suddenly jumped out from the crowd. With a small knife in her hand, she fiercely wiped the neck of a soldier closest to her.

The soldier was guarding one end of the long street. He didn't expect a woman to attack suddenly, and he couldn't dodge it in time, and blood was about to splatter on the spot.

A long arrow whizzed towards, the woman's back was smudged red, and the arrow feathers trembled slightly, the woman let out a muffled snort, and before she was grabbed by the returning soldier in front of her, the knife in her hand suddenly wiped her skin neck, but committed suicide on the spot.

Seeing blood, there was a lot of screams at the scene, and it seemed that there would be another chaos.

"Whoever acts recklessly will be arrested together as a spy of a foreign race, regardless of life or death!"

Bailifeng snorted coldly, and no one dared to move any more.

The man got off his horse, walked to the side of the fallen woman, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to check her breath, she was dead.

Bailifeng's complexion is not very good-looking.

Xie Jinhua saw the woman's face, it was the woman who claimed to be the child's mother just now.

"I just remembered that there are differences between a few people. You can take those people away for interrogation."

Xie Jinhua walked in front of Bailifeng and said in a low voice.

Bailifeng turned to look at her in surprise.

Xie Jinhua pointed out one by one the few people he had just remembered who were loudly provoking unrest in the crowd.

Those few people hid themselves in the crowd, originally thought that if the woman attracted attention, there would be nothing wrong with them, but how could they have thought that it was just to make things bigger, and Xie Jinhua would be provoked by each person's words Remember all their faces.

They didn't know why they were taken out until they were all taken away.

Some people wanted to resist, some people wanted to commit suicide, but they were stopped by soldiers who had been prepared for a long time.

"Thank you for your help this time. Miss Xie is really amazing. At least her memory is as good as it gets."

The stern look on Bailifeng's face disappeared, and he looked at Xie Jinhua's expression with a smile: "If I find any useful news, I will definitely invite Miss Xie to Chunmanlou for a good meal later. Thank you Miss must be rewarded."

Xie Jinhua is so calm in the face of danger, and can remember to catch any strangeness after the danger, Bailifeng's eyes don't hide his appreciation.

"I've helped you, and it's enough that Major General Baili will help me once, and that meal will be skipped."

The corners of Xie Jinhua's lips curled up slightly, and he took a step closer to Bailifeng: "The child brought by the woman just now, I suspect that he is infected with the plague, since Major General Baili happens to be here to arrest alien spies, then Let’s take all these people away and investigate carefully, maybe there are alien spies that haven’t been caught yet?”

Xie Jinhua looked at Bailifeng, meaning something.

Those people who came into contact with children, women, and spies of foreign races may also be infected with the plague. These people cannot just let them go away, and arresting spies of foreign races is a good excuse not to cause doubts and turmoil.

The smile on Bailifeng's face disappeared, because he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Originally, I thought that some aliens appeared in the capital to deal with the Baili family, but now the other party brought a plague-stricken corpse into the capital, and deliberately made things worse. Inside, the intention was hateful.

If something really happened in the capital, it would be a big trouble.

He took a deep breath: "Miss Xie, just leave it to me. You have nothing to do with this matter, so go away first."

Bailifeng has a good impression of Xie Jinhua, and naturally he doesn't want Xie Jinhua to get involved in more troubles.

Xie Jin hooked his lips, and did not reject Bailifeng's proposal: "Major General Baili, please pay attention to the movement of the city gate recently, as well as the new arrivals in the capital. That child may not be just one."

After speaking, he took the people away.

As for the child's body, it was also left to Bailifeng's people. Bailifeng came back to report on his duties as the commander of the infantry in the capital. It was more convenient for him to handle these matters than Xie Jinhua.

It's just that Xie Jinhua didn't go to the Shangshu Mansion, but went back to the palace directly.

Even if a foreign race wants to use the plague to make trouble, they will not bring a plague-infected corpse from their own country.

The child infected with the plague will only be from Daqing, and he was found not too far from the capital.

Xie Jinhua counted the days, counting from the day when the rainstorm fell, it is now No. 14. The rainstorm has passed, but the problems that will appear after the rainstorm are even more terrifying.

She thought that this time the response was timely, and there would be no such severe plague in her previous life, but she did not expect that this time, the plague directly entered the capital.

One hair will affect the whole body, all the changes, the final result may not all be good.

Xie Jinhua sat in the carriage, closed his eyes, and stroked the sandalwood incense string on his wrist, hoping that nothing would go wrong with Qin Zheng.

-

The emperor's complexion was not good, and he was holding a memorial in his hand, a memorial that a plague occurred in the south of the Yangtze River, and the plague was spreading to the north.

The local top official survived the flood by luck, but not the plague, and died of the plague.

The succeeding officials sent people to imprison all the people in the villages and towns infected with the plague, and they were killed by the rioters.

When he received the news a few days ago, he directly sent a few imperial doctors with good skills in the Imperial Hospital, officials and many escorting soldiers. The emperor thought that the officials there were incompetent, which caused the accident.

But the imperial doctors and officials who were personally selected were killed by the rioters again.

A large number of medicinal materials were also looted.

The emperor was furious, but at this time, the news of Suzakuwei was also cut off, and he knew nothing about the situation in the south.

The emperor wanted to send capable officials there again, but as long as the people in the court were well-informed, they would already know the letter. The emperor just mentioned which one in the early court, so it would be convenient for those who asked for sick leave.

For various reasons, in short, no official is willing to go to the south at this moment.

No one wants to lose their lives, even if they refuse to pick up the emperor like this, the emperor will temporarily hold grudges or something, isn't there another rejection together?
The law does not blame the public, and the emperor will be left in the cold for a period of time at most, and he will never lose most of the people in the court.

The emperor saw the thoughts of those officials at a glance, and felt extremely disappointed, but he couldn't force anyone to go there.

Things in the south are too big, if they are forced to go there, if they don't manage it carefully, the situation in the south will not only not get better, but may even worsen.

"Miss Xie, are you sure that child died of the plague?"

The emperor's voice was hoarse.

The matter is more serious than he imagined, if Xie Jinhua's guess is true.

Xie Jinhua leaned over: "Little girl, I hope it's not, it's just that we should take precautions before they happen."

She told the emperor about her discovery. As for whether her guess is true, it only depends on the results of the child's body examination.

The emperor looked at the memorial in his hand again, and his eyes became astringent. He pinched the top of the bridge of his nose with his fingers, kneaded it a few times, and opened his eyes. The ink-colored words were distorted in his eyes.

The emperor swayed and supported his head with one hand.

Xie Jinhua lowered his head and did not notice anything unusual about the emperor.

"Miss Xie, it's good that you are careful and take precautions against things."

The emperor praised Xie Jin and said, "Look at this memorial."

Xie Jinhua was not surprised when he saw what was reported in the memorial.

Plague patients appeared in the capital, and to be honest, she was prepared for the worst.

After Xie Jin finished reading the painting, he carefully placed the memorial in front of the emperor.

The emperor didn't look at the memorial again: "Miss Xie, the situation in the south is not good now, and Zhuquewei has no contact. Most officials in the court and China are unwilling to go to the south. Do you have a suitable candidate to relieve my worries?"

Xie Jinhua's knowledge, carefulness and courage were recognized by the emperor.

So at this moment, the emperor really wanted to know whether Xie Jinhua had a suitable candidate to send to the south to solve the problem.

If the disaster in the south is solved, the north will not be in chaos, and the capital will not be in chaos.

Xie Jinhua shook his fingers, did Suzaku Wei lose contact?
It was because of her participation that changed Qin Zheng's life course and made Qin Zheng go to the south at such a time.

Qin Zheng had no news.

At that moment, Xie Jinhua had the answer in his heart.

"I would like to report to Your Majesty, my daughter is not talented, and she is also appointed by His Majesty as a third-rank imperial court lady. My daughter has received His Majesty's grace, and I always think of serving Your Majesty's court. Please grant an imperial decree, and my daughter is willing to take people to the south!"

Xie Jinhua straightened her waist, clasped her hands and clasped her fists, her voice clanging.

Ah Zheng, you must be safe and sound, and wait for me.
