Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 132 You Can't Hold It

A group of people entered the yard, and before they reached the inner house, they heard some panic remarks from the servants.

Only then did Xu Da know that the second lady had locked up a group of slaves in the cellar of Wubao.

And now, she ordered that all these slaves be burned to death.

Some people saw those slaves with gray faces, blood all over their bodies, and spit out a big mouthful of black blood from time to time, as if they had some kind of strange disease.

The fluke mentality made people subconsciously dare not link these slaves with the Qingzhou epidemic, and now it is only a strange talk.

Gu Weihe's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot when he heard a few words.

The two stepped into the inner courtyard, and a group of women and servants surrounded them. There was no shelter and no sense of defense at all. Gu Weihe frowned frequently, and he was glad that he had received a full set of protection from the Xu family.

This is why they were not killed by these ignorant servants.

After finally entering the house, there was a strong smell of wormwood.

This made Gu Weihe nod secretly, and knowing that fuming moxa to detoxify, it seems that it should be the handiwork of the colleague who gave acupuncture to the young lady of the Xu family.

There is a large space in the house, with the hall in the middle, the master's couch on the left, and the desk on the right, which is the place where the master works.

At this time, the patient was staying in the left room, and the second wife was sitting in front of the desk on the right, with a screen in front of her, and the servants beside her were holding burning wormwood to smoke around her, and the whole room was smoky, even a little confusing.

The mother and son seem to be separated by the Chu River and the Han Dynasty.

The arrival of Dr. Gu made the second wife ecstatic, and hurriedly urged him to treat her son.

The old doctor came out with a miserable expression on his face. Not long ago, after learning about the hidden slaves from the second wife, he felt that his death was approaching.

Plague, what a terrible thing, it is still such a violent plague, no one can escape!
The old doctor had already given up resisting, so he didn't take any precautions, and he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately. He just heard Gu Weihe's name, saluted him respectfully, and led him in.

Xu Da followed behind, wanting to go in to see how the eldest son was doing, but the second lady was stopped by someone, not allowing him to approach.

Xu Da turned his head and glanced coldly at the old woman behind the screen. The woman seemed to be aware of his gaze and asked:
"Xu accountant, how is your young lady? Is it better?"

Xu Da didn't want to respond to this hypocritical concern, but he still endured it and replied:

"No, I don't know who brought that disease into Ubud and killed my daughter. If I find out, killing her a thousand times won't be enough to vent my hatred!"

The second lady behind the screen suddenly suffocated.

Gu Weihe came out after the diagnosis, his face was already ugly, but now he looked even more depressed.

As soon as he came up, he directly asked the second wife: "Where are those slaves, please allow me to go and have a look before I can draw a conclusion."

The second wife wanted to refute that there were no slaves, but Gongsun Yan, who had already received the news, suddenly appeared at the door of the room and stopped her.

"Gongsun Yan! Do you think you can grasp it?!"

A stern question made the second lady pause.

"Doctor Gu, please follow me." Gongsun Yan gave Xu Da a vague look, and then politely asked Gu Weihe.

It can be seen from the fine sweat on his face that he has realized what the situation is now.

Everyone immediately went to the open space in the backyard. In the open space, the subordinates had already set up the firewood pile high.

Next to the pyre are the slaves who are begging for more air but less air.

There were about fifty or sixty slaves, all of whom looked like they were infected with the plague. At first glance, the scene was horrifying.

The servants only dared to hold the long wooden sticks tied with the blades, and forced them to the woodpile, and did not dare to approach them at all.

When Xu Da and others arrived at the scene, several slaves vomited a mouthful of black blood on the spot and fell to the ground.

They were already skinny and skinny, and they were imprisoned in the cellar to fend for themselves. After struggling for two days, their faces were gray and blood was all over the floor. Nightmares.

Gongsun Yan turned his eyes away and backed out.

Gu Weihe risked his life and ran over to check the slave's death status, and when he came back, he scolded Gongsun Yan.

"Such a serious epidemic has broken out, but you don't report it. You are trying to kill the entire Ubud! Kill the entire Yuyang!"

Gongsun Yan was irrefutable, so he asked Gu Weihe to feel his pulse quickly to see if he was infected.

Gu Weihe was so angry that he flung his sleeves and went back to the county to report the situation so that Gongsun Yan could hire another Gao Ming.

Seeing this, Xu Da recalled Wang's explanation, and said to Gongsun Yan that burning people alive is too bad for morality, and he did something impulsive in the morning, willing to make up for his mistakes and help him deal with these slaves.

Thereby offsetting the crime of robbing the old doctor in the morning.

When Gongsun Yan heard this, he looked at Xu Da in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to be so loyal.

Xu Da just lowered his head, with a sincere look that I really want to make amends, waiting for his answer.

Gongsun Yan recalled the tragic situation of the slaves who died just now, and waved his hands hurriedly, signaling Xu Da to do it quickly.

Then, she raised her skirt and went after Gu Weihe.

All he wanted to know now was whether he had contracted the plague or not!

Seeing that Xu Da came in to take care of the mess, the servants in the open space didn't hesitate at all, and gave him the job directly.

Xu Da could not let them go, and threatened these people with the name of Gongsun Yan to help him get all the slaves into his donkey cart, and then let the servants leave.

As for those who were already dead, they were burned with a ready-made pyre.

Of the more than 30 people who were still alive, those who were too sick were put in the car, and those who could still walk followed suit.

Xu Da asked them to cover them with tarpaulins again, barely keeping them isolated.Immediately after, he slapped the donkey's buttocks, and asked the yellow donkey to lead these people to avoid the tenants and go home first.

He brought Gu Weihe here, and he had to bring him back, so he couldn't go home for the time being.

Although the slaves knew that they would die, they still chose to follow the yellow donkey back to Xu's house.

Just because Xu Da said: "You're going to die anyway, instead of being burned alive, it's better to go to my house. Even if you don't survive, I will bury you well."

With this little hope, they followed the yellow donkey to Xu's house.

Wang did not expect Xu Da and Gu Weihe to send so many sick slaves first instead of coming back.

Seeing so many sick people appearing in front of her suddenly, she, who was always calm, couldn't help but jump wildly in her heart.

But soon calmed down, and methodically called Xu Dalang to get these slaves to the cowshed for isolation.

At the same time, the medicine given by Gu Weihe was also cooked, and Xu Erniang poured it into Xu Yue.

The most tormenting moment came, and the whole family was staring at the little man on the kang, looking forward to it.
