Bai Jiaojiao rubbed her swollen temple and asked the young lady Miao and Xiao Lan, "how many days may she have been diagnosed?" Although the incubation period of cholera is long, if we can match the time line, we can find the docking person.

Miao said: "back to the empress, should not be five days."

Five days?

Bai Jiaojiao naturally believed in Miao's medical skills, but if she had acquired them in five days, it would have nothing to do with Mingren hall. Their last contact with Mingren hall was seven days ago.

"Then it has nothing to do with Mingren hall. Is there something wrong with the food? " Bai Jiao Jiao thought about it and shook her head again. "It shouldn't be. If something goes wrong with food, many people should have symptoms. "

Xiaolan came forward, "Miss, the maidservant has checked their food, and asked if they have eaten anything other than family food in five days. Both of them said no."

Miao also said: "since the two boys are in charge of the orchard in the mansion, it should not be that there is something wrong with the well. Otherwise, the people in the mansion may have problems, and even the people nearby may be infected with cholera, but I haven't heard that there are people infected with cholera nearby."

White Jiao Jiao shook his head, "Madam don't know, if really have an accident, maybe someone will be lucky, won't take the initiative to report it."

Mrs. Miao thought it was possible, "but we can't go out now, but we don't know how to inquire?"

Bai Jiaojiao looked at Yao, "can you use the dark guard that Lord Zhong arranged outside the house?"

He knew that he couldn't hide anything from Bai Jiaojiao. He said with his fists, "but at the command of the empress."

These people were all sent by the emperor. Because the empress didn't want to attract attention, she didn't bring many people with her. But the emperor was worried, so she sent someone to protect them secretly.

The bodyguards she is carrying are the same people she saved from ye Yun. The assassin hasn't found the murderer yet. Ye Yun suspects that they are normal. Bai Jiaojiao also understands that ye Yun sends secret guards to watch.

"Then let them go to inquire about the news and help the house to buy water. Don't use the wells in the house. Let the dark guard send water to the house every day. As for the emperor's side, it's not necessary to say. " Ye Yun must have been in a mess now. If he was told about it, Bai Jiaojiao was afraid that he would run here regardless.

After a pause, he said, "yes, I'll go now."

"Lady, what shall we do next?" Xiao Lan has a headache.

"Tell all the people in the house to stay in their own rooms and not to walk around at will. If there are any more people wandering around the house, they will be expelled from the house as soon as the matter is over." White Jiao Jiao a face serious, "as for food and drink, arrange special person to be responsible for, other miscellaneous matters in the government all exempt."

"Yes." Xiaolan takes orders. Seeing that baijiaojiao's face is solemn, she also stands up straight.

If you want to be an outsider, you have to be neutral.

After Xiaolan is equipped, she finds Zhang Guanshi, who has just talked the next people through. One of them sings red face and the other white face, frightening everyone back to their room.

Zhang Guanshi only left Xiaomei and Xiaotong, "Xiaolan girl, these two girls are smart. There are many things in the house, so they can help the girl run errands."

"Not bad." Xiaolan just needs someone who is familiar with things in the house. Now she takes two people to the kitchen.

An hour later, the inquirers returned one after another.

After hearing the words of several secret guards from a long distance, he went back to find Bai Jiaojiao. "Empress, secret guards answered. They sneaked into the nearby courtyard and made a secret investigation. They found that the servants in several houses were infected with cholera. The masters were afraid. Some of them locked them up and some sent them to the village."

I heard that all the people who got cholera were servants. Bai Jiao couldn't help frowning. Mingchuanxu was a third-class doctor. Although the hospital site was not a place of wealth, it was not ordinary people who could build a hospital beside him.

Rich people are even more afraid of death. They send their servants away far away. She understands, but what she doesn't understand is cholera. How can it choose their servants to spread it?

Can't it also grow eyes, dislike the poor and love the rich, and focus on the poor?

Bai Jiao couldn't understand it, and the others couldn't understand it.

"People in the neighborhood have diseases, which must be related. We can't buy the same ingredients. What else is connected?" Bai Jiao muttered to himself, suddenly his eyes brightened.

"Are the servants who are infected with cholera also in charge of orchards?" Bai Jiaojiao asked Yao.

"It's orchards." He thought about it.

White Jiao Jiao stands up, degree a few steps, "that should be."

When they heard this, they looked at her.

Bai Jiaojiao stopped and said: "the fruit trees in the backyard should be watered by the water from the canal. They should not pay attention to hygiene. They may touch the unclean things in the water. Without washing their hands, they eat the fruit on the tree. That's why they are infected with cholera."

"I'm going to ask." Xiao Lan's eyes show resentment. If this is the case, the two boys must be afraid of being punished, so they dare not say.

Bai Jiaojiao nods, and Xiaolan goes away in a huff. After a while, Xiaolan comes back, followed by Zhang Guanshi."Miss's guess is right. The two boys all recruited. They didn't listen to miss's words. They didn't clean their hands after doing things. They ate dirty things. That's why they got cholera." Xiaolan pulled her face and finished quickly.

When she asked them if they had eaten something different from the people in the mansion, they obviously remembered something, but they didn't tell her, which made them busy.

Bai Jiaojiao's eyes flashed clearly. He must have thought in his heart that he was infected with cholera anyway. He had to be cured anyway. If he told the truth, he ate the master's fruit secretly, he didn't listen to the master's words, and he didn't clean his hands. That's why he was infected with cholera. In order not to be expelled from the house, he lied.

Zhang Guan Shi's old face was red. He said, "it's a slave who doesn't work well. He doesn't restrain good people. He asks the girl to punish him." White girl repeatedly told, he also repeatedly stressed, but who knows these people or so perfunctory.

"It's no use punishing them. They don't have to be lazy now." Bai Jiao Jiao looked a convergence, cold way: "but two people later can't stay in the house to do things, after treatment, will send them away."

When Zhang Guanshi saw that Bai Jiaojiao looked cold, he did not dare to plead for mercy. Mingchuanxu told him before he left the house that all matters in the house were decided by Bai Jiaojiao, so he immediately said, "yes, everything depends on the girl."

Although the cause has been found out, how to eliminate it? Bai Jiao is still at a loss. "How many houses does the canal in this mansion lead to?"

"Four." Steward Zhang knows, "this canal is used to drain the accumulated rainwater in the hospital, and the sewage is discharged to the back mountain."
