Chapter 257 Chapter 257
In fact, it is not difficult to obtain a large amount of arsenic outside the Northland. There is not much stock in one pharmacy, but what about adding up the stocks of several pharmacies?

Xu Ji's face became more serious, and he ordered again: "In addition to salt, go and check our well!"

She has always paid great attention to water safety. The wells are often inspected by people, and chemicals are regularly injected for disinfection.

In addition, Xu City needs to conduct a thorough investigation to prevent spies from mixing in. In addition, it is necessary to check whether there is any family that accepts relatives from afar.

In fact, censuses are very common in Xu City. One is to count the population to facilitate the distribution of benefits, and the other is to prevent people with malicious intentions from mixing into the city.

The people of Xucheng understand and support it.

Song Qingzhai came over as soon as the assignment was completed. He wanted to talk about Lu Suwen's matter, but since he knew that something big was going to happen, he naturally put the small things aside.

Xu Ji comforted: "I have sent someone to notify the quartermaster, and they will deal with it."

Song Qingzhai was still not at ease: "It's a very important matter, I'd better go there myself."

The salt used in the army, including food, luggage, etc., is sent to the Military Supplies Department in a unified manner, and the Military Supplies Department investigates where and how much is needed, and then deploys it.

Even if there is a quartermaster who can manage the affairs of the Quartermaster Division, he cannot reach the Salt Affairs Office.

Furthermore, who would know if anyone else has tampered with it?

If there is no unified dispatch by him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to coordinate.

When Xu Cheng arrived in Xushi, there was an investigation result, and no outsiders mixed in, but there was a problem with the team that came to deliver the salt. The people who originally escorted the salt truck were all people sent by the army, but they encountered a takeover under the banner of Xu Cheng on the way. personnel.

Although the soldiers refused them to take over, they failed to deny them close contact with the salt truck.

After that, these people walked with the soldiers who sent the salt all the way, and they didn't leave until they arrived in Xucheng under the pretext of having something to do.

When Xie Qing learned of this situation, he immediately sent someone to inform the army, because Xu Cheng was the closest to Wuyang City, so he invited Luo Hongzhang to come over.

Luo Hongzhang is also investigating. There is nothing wrong with their salt, but some soldiers found a large number of dead rats near the granary.

Fortunately, Lune was nearby at that time, and he stopped the soldiers from touching them in time. He confirmed that the rats were all infected with the plague.

There's a good chance that the rats around here are infected with the plague!

The plague spread quickly and the death rate was high.

Luo Hongzhang didn't dare to take it lightly, so he reported to Song Qingzhai and asked Lu Na to help with the follow-up matters.

After receiving the news from Xu Cheng, Luo Hongzhang did not leave immediately, but made proper arrangements for the follow-up, especially when he told his lieutenant to strengthen patrols, so he went to see Xu Ji with anxiety.

Knowing that Song Qingzhai had left, Luo Hongzhang had a bad feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but say to Xu Ji: "Princess, do you think this is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"

Song Qingzhai took some generals with him when he left.

Although the peace talks ended perfectly, the border defenses have to be more stringent, so after this winter, the patrols in the border cities are better than in previous years. Many generals are on duty and have not left the station.

When Song Qingzhai returned from the city he personally guarded, he took only one-third of the border generals with him, and he took more than half with him when he left today.

There are no more than ten generals staying in Xucheng to prepare for the New Year here.

Xu Ji thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you think that the turmoil this time was caused by Beihu?"

Luo Hongzhang shook his head: "Without solid evidence, the general dare not speak nonsense."
