The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 343 Suppression
"Why did the holy minister Xuanchen come here?"

Zhao Kuangyin was not in a hurry to talk about his own affairs, but asked, "How about the smallpox?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, vaccination against smallpox has been successful. As long as it continues to spread, smallpox will be eradicated soon."

Hearing the news, Zhao Kuangyin wasn't very excited. He didn't know if the news from the capital was too heavy, or he had too much trust in Liu Wei. He knew that since Liu Wei intervened in this matter, it would definitely succeed.

"Okay, since it has been successful, let the people in Chang'an City be inoculated with cowpox as soon as possible to eliminate smallpox." Having said this, Zhao Kuangyin pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Liu Aiqing, sit down, I announce that you have something to think about. Discussed with you."

"Please tell me, Your Majesty." After sitting down on the chair, Liu tasted it.

"There is news from the capital that Southern Tang has launched an attack on my Great Song Dynasty. I want to know your opinion?" Zhao Kuangyin said and looked at Liu Wei. There was an indescribable feeling in his eyes, like hot, like With a trace of anxiety.

The news came so suddenly that Liu Wei didn't realize it for a while, why was Nan Tang so bold, and fought with them Da Song?

Liu Wei felt that something was wrong. In his opinion, Li Yu, the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was a very timid person. If he was not very sure, he was unlikely to make a move.

"Did the news of smallpox appear in Chang'an City spread, and Nan Tang felt that there was an opportunity to do so?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "I think so. It must be Li Yu who thinks that I can't escape the bad luck of smallpox, so I can do this. Otherwise, he would not dare to fight against my Song Dynasty with his two courage."

"It's just that the smallpox in Chang'an City isn't rampant. If Nan Tang knew the truth about Chang'an City, he wouldn't dare to go to war. That's why someone spread rumors in Nan Tang."

"That's right!"

Liu Wei thought for a while and said, "What does the Holy One mean?"

"If I go back now, I might be able to force Li Yu to go back by himself, but if I go back, what will happen to Chang'an City? Jingniang hasn't found it yet."

"Actually, the Holy Majesty doesn't need to go back. Didn't our Song Dynasty have an excuse to destroy the Southern Tang? Now that the Southern Tang provoked them first, this just gave us a chance. As for whether the Southern Tang can be destroyed, the Holy Majesty doesn't have to worry at all. If Bin goes to battle, Nantang can be easily eliminated, and coupled with our control over refined salt, this battle will be sure."

After listening to Liu Wei's words, Zhao Kuangyin nodded. He felt that Liu Wei's words made sense, but he thought to himself, should he let his son Zhao Dezhao go to destroy the Southern Tang? Wouldn't his achievements be greater?
But he was not in the capital, and Zhao Dezhao went to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, what should he do in the capital?
After some consideration, Zhao Kuangyin's wish to leave the Southern Tang to his son was not realized, and this became a factor in his failure to propose Zhao Dezhao as the prince.

The plan has always been good, but the plan cannot keep up with the changes. If he is in the capital, his son will be responsible for destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin sighed softly, and then discussed with Liu Wei how to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty. After this discussion, he wrote the strategy against the enemy into a secret letter and sent it to the capital.
-
After leaving the palace, Liu Wei ordered people to vaccinate the people of Chang'an City with vaccinia. This is a huge and time-consuming task, and it cannot be completed in a day or two. Fortunately, it is a happy event, so it does not take long. relation.

Most importantly, Liu Wei felt that if the whole population was vaccinated, Zhao Jingniang who was hiding in Chang'an City would also appear, right?
However, Liu Wei was not sure, because vaccinating against vaccinia was very simple and did not necessarily require someone from the government office to do it.

And just when Liu Wei ordered the yamen servants to vaccinate the people with vaccinia, a jailer rushed to report that Li Kai and Wu San had suddenly fallen ill. Judging from the situation, it should be smallpox.

Hearing the news, Liu Wei showed a slight smile, the lives of these two people are really bad.

"Go to the prison and have a look."

On the way to the prison, Liu Wei asked the jailer, "Who came to see the two of them?"

"It's all their family members, such as Li Kai's only son Li Dao, etc..."

When investigating Yang Wen, Liu Wei knew that Yang Wen had a close relationship with Li Dao. If Li Dao had been in prison, then it meant that Li Dao might have had smallpox. Li Kai and Wu San had smallpox. The island is contagious.

Thinking of this, Liu Wei shrugged, and then quickened his pace.

In the government prison, Li Kai and Wu San were indeed much more haggard than before. After seeing Liu Wei, they suddenly knelt down: "Help, Master Liu, help, we...we don't want to die yet..."

"The two of you have smallpox." Liu Wei looked at them and said coldly, and the two of them had already guessed this, so what they asked for was even more unscrupulous.

"I can only save one person, and whoever satisfies me with the other party's evidence will be saved by me."

Hearing this, the two were stunned for a moment. They are both old foxes, so if they don't know what Liu Wei means, they will testify against each other. In the end, both of them will be convicted.

Seeing that the two were silent, Liu Wei shrugged: "Since you don't want this last chance, forget it. I forgot to tell you that smallpox disease starts with red spots, then itches all over the body, and finally the whole body festers and dies." , the most frightening thing is..."

Of course, what Liu Wei said was not a symptom of smallpox, but he said it just to scare these two people, make them fear, and let them know that death is not the most frightening thing, but the most frightening thing is the suffering suffered while alive .

Therefore, before Liu Wei finished speaking, the two people in the prison had already testified against each other's crimes.

The two families used to have many fights in Chang'an City, and each other had a lot of reasons to grab each other, so this statement revealed decades of Xin Mi, which made Liu Wei smack his tongue.

Among the nobles, there are really too many crimes to list.

The two had such a quarrel, and after they finished talking about each other's crimes, Liu Wei showed a slight smile and ordered someone to vaccinate them both. Liu Wei hated such two people very much, but it was like a doctor who couldn't see It's like not saving them from death, even though they are criminals, Liu Wei still wants to save them, and the crimes they have suffered naturally have laws to punish them.

After leaving the government prison, Ling'er came to tell Liu Wei that Duan Yuerong's health had improved a lot and she could ask questions. Liu Wei nodded and went directly to Duan Yuerong's room.

Duan Yuerong was lying on the bed, her complexion had improved a lot, when she saw Liu Wei coming in, she struggled to salute, but Liu Wei waved her hand away, Duan Yuerong showed a slight smile, and said: "Thank you Master Liu for everything you have done for my little girl."

Duan Yuerong's words sounded without a trace of emotion, and Liu Wei didn't think much about it, and said: "I will not do things that I would not save you, but a big reason why I saved you is knowing that Duan Shi was murdered." As for the matter, I have read the file and feel that the murder case is a bit vague, can you tell me the truth?"

Duan Yuerong's face was a bit ugly, but she still nodded her head: "Your Excellency, you can ask whatever you want, I know everything."

"Did you kill Duan Shi?" Liu Wei asked directly.

Duan Yuerong thought for a while, then shook her head: "No."

Duan Yuerong's reaction made Liu Wei a little strange, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Returning to my lord, it happened last winter. The slave family is the adopted daughter of Dean Duan, but he is a beast in clothes. All he thinks about is how to occupy my body. If the slave family is not famous in Chang'an City, he would have It is too strong for slaves."

When Duan Yuerong said this, Ling'er snorted coldly: "Such a person deserves to die."

Liu Wei didn't lose his mind yet, and said, "Continue talking."

"At noon that day, he found an excuse to call the slave family to his room. The slave family was afraid, so he took a dagger when he left. After entering the room, he really made a move on the slave family. Stabbed the dagger on his body, and then the slave pulled out the dagger and ran away."

Hearing Duan Yuerong's words, Liu Wei was a little shocked, because these were not on the file.

"When Lin Ze was just broken, why did you say you didn't have a thorn stone?"

Duan Yuerong frowned slightly, and said: "My lord, Lin Zegang is not a good official. If my family refuses to admit that he stabbed Duan Shi, he will judge my family as a murderer. If my family admits to it, there will be no chance to stand up."

This makes sense, but Liu Wei still finds it a bit strange.

"Since you admitted that you stabbed Duan Shi, why did you say you didn't kill him?"

"I……"

"Just say what you have."

Duan Yuerong hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "At that time, my family also suspected that I killed Duan Shi, but later in the lobby, my family accidentally saw the wound on the corpse. The wound was not deep, and I thought it was impossible to kill Duan Shi. Yes, adults should be clear, it was winter, Duan Shi was wearing very thick clothes, and the slave's woman was not strong enough, how could he kill him with a stab? But this is not the real reason why the slave thinks he is not the murderer, the real reason It was Yang Wen who came to the prison to look for me."

Yang Wen, upon hearing this name, Liu Wei's heart suddenly trembled. He knew that Yang Wen must be involved.

"Why did he go to prison to see you?"

Duan Yuerong hesitated for a while, and finally said: "He... came to the prison and told me that if I was willing to commit myself to him, he would have a way to get rid of my crimes. I didn't believe him at the time, so I asked him how he could save me. He said He knows who the real murderer is, as long as I marry him, he will confess the real murderer, and he still has evidence in his hand."

"He has evidence? Did you ask him how he had evidence?"

"He said that he was at Jinghe Academy that day and saw everything, but the premise was that I had to agree to marry him, but I didn't agree."
