Conspiracy

Chapter 349
Nanzhuang Village occupies a small area, and there is an unpleasant smell everywhere.

In order to gather all the people suffering from the plague here, the government officials gathered here, but all the famous doctors and doctors with high reputation in Jiangdu were summoned to Jiangdu city one after another.

Putting these villagers here is tantamount to letting them fend for themselves.

When the Xiao family army and officers and soldiers brought by Shang Yuchen entered the village, they knocked on doors in an orderly manner to deliver medicines.

The medicine they brought was developed by the young master, but before he came, he had only heard about the symptoms of the plague, and had never seen it with his own eyes.Whether it can save lives is still unknown.

Shang Yuchen walked in the front alone, followed by Imperial Physician Pei, carrying a heavy black iron medicine box on his shoulders. When he stepped on the ground, the depth he stepped on was a little deeper than the others.

In addition, there are several other imperial physicians following.

Jin Lian didn't know medical skills, so he just followed behind them with weapons in his arms, protecting them well.

Master Sun has been guiding the way ahead. He has never seen so many important people, so his back is already drenched in cold sweat.

As for Tang Yinchen and Yang Huanzhi, after entering the village, they hurriedly followed the officers and soldiers to release and distribute medicinal materials, and then helped to cook them.

However, the villagers were obviously resistant to the arrival of the prince and others, and the disgust in their eyes made it difficult for them to ignore it.

"Grandma! Granny! Open the door! We are not bad people, we were sent by the imperial court to save you!"

Tang Yinchen slammed on a wooden door, and the weeds on the roof fell down with his movements.Yang Huanzhi, who had a headache for him, quickly grabbed his arm, lest he really collapse the thatched thatched house that was already crumbling.

"Get out! We are not sick! We don't need treatment! Get the hell out of Nanzhuang Village! Our village doesn't accept outsiders! The lackeys of the imperial court don't have any good things!"

There was a vicissitudes of life full of anger.

The people in this village felt too much resistance to them, Tang Yinchen and the others faced the door, except for a dark old face at the beginning, the old woman refused to come out.

For some reason, Yang Huanzhi cupped his hands towards the wooden door and said softly, "Mother-in-law, you may be worrying too much. I followed His Royal Highness to Jiangdu to help His Highness make an antidote as soon as possible and save the people. If you are angry and refuse to cooperate, It is your own life that is disregarded."

Before the old woman in the house could make a sound, another angry voice came from another dilapidated farmhouse nearby, "Wuhu? We didn't get the plague at all! It's all due to those who suffered thousands of knives from the Jiangdu government office." Yes! In order to defraud the imperial court of disaster relief money, they lied to the outside world that our people had a plague! They locked us up and left us to fend for ourselves! The fields are gone, the crops are gone, those beasts are going to starve us to death! "

Although the man's voice was unwilling and half-crying, no matter how he heard it, he was full of spirit, not at all like a dying person suffering from the plague.

Ever since stepping into Liting Town, weird things have always happened one after another.

"."

Hearing this, Tang Yinchen looked at the thick gray smoke still rising from the back mountain in surprise, put his right hand on Yang Huanzhi's shoulder naturally, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? It's been more than half a month since the plague broke out in Jiangdu, but it doesn't seem to be So right!"

Yang Huanzhi looked around and said, "I remember listening to Master Sun saying that this plague is different from the past. The initial symptoms of the people are fever and cough, and then they will become crazy, insane, and even talk nonsense. No matter what the medicine is, it will cure you." Not good, after three days, people will die."

Tang Yinchen scratched his head, and muttered in a low voice, "That's what I said, but I can't follow it. But I still feel weird when I hear it. The complexion on the mother-in-law's face just now was darker than black charcoal. Like the luster that ordinary people should have."

Yang Huanzhi looked at the other house as if it was the same, frowned, stepped forward and gently knocked on the door twice, "Mother-in-law, don't be afraid, you open the door first. If you have anything to say, you can tell His Highness the Crown Prince, He will definitely make decisions for you!"

"Go away! You all go away!"

The sound of 'cracking' came from the room, as if something had broken. Tang Yinchen and Yang Huanzhi looked at each other, and quickly kicked the door open. When they hurried into the room, they looked around at the small and simple farmhouse The inside is clear at a glance.

There are a few pieces of kitchen utensils hanging scattered on the wall, but there are many wear marks and gaps on them, so it must have been old.

The big kang on the left is covered with mats woven from sorghum stalks, and a low wooden table is placed in the center of the kang.An old woman in commoner clothes was lying on the ground, her clothes were patched in layers, her hair was silvery white, and her gray eyes were cloudy.

What surprised everyone was that her exposed skin looked even darker under the light of the torches in their hands, like a charred corpse? !

However, when she saw them, her complexion quickly turned red.

"Damn it! Ghost. Ghost? No, no, no! You, you, you, monster! Lao Yang! Protect me!"

Tang Yinchen shouted exaggeratedly, and jumped behind Yang Huanzhi.

Yang Huanzhi was speechless listening to him chanting behind his back, but after listening carefully, it turned out that it was an exorcism spell.

Taking a sudden step forward, Tang Yinchen followed his steps and staggered a step forward, almost falling.

Tang Yinchen wanted to grab Yang Huanzhi's arm, but in vain, he clenched the folded umbrella 'Dipping Frost' in his hand, but if the old woman dared to do anything unusual, I'm afraid he would really make a move.

"Hey? Old Yang? Don't go there! What if she can eat people? Maybe the plague will be contagious. If you become like this, we won't be able to save you for the time being!"

Listening to his chatter behind him, Yang Huanzhi really stopped walking.

The old woman supported the edge of the kang and stood up crookedly. There was a shovel standing upright in the corner. She stumbled and took two steps towards that side, and was about to rush towards them holding the shovel.

Yang Huanzhi is just a weak scholar, and he only relies on a few tricks to protect himself on weekdays.

Seeing that the shovel was about to fall on his head, Tang Yinchen immediately pressed the frost-dipping mechanism, with a 'click', an icy light flashed, and the shovel flew out of his hand, hitting the old woman's hand firmly The shovel turned back into his hand.

On the opposite side, with a 'click' sound, the shovel broke in two and fell to the ground.

Tang Yinchen took two steps forward, held Yang Huanzhi's shoulders, and pulled him away from the front. When the old woman rushed over again, he raised his foot and moved towards him again.

Although his kick was restrained, but the opposite was an old woman with weak bones, this kick was very likely to kill her.

Tang Yinchen suddenly felt guilty, and stammered, "I didn't do that on purpose, I just didn't realize it for a while! Mother-in-law, are you alright?"
