Look at the mountains and rivers I have drawn

Chapter 721
The mage is determined to fight Ye Yan to the end, as long as he stays in Nanli for one day, he will not live in peace and stability.

What Ye Yan cares most about is the people of Nanli, as long as the life in the city is messed up, that is the best solution.

In Nanli City, there is a family that sells pork very well, and the mage has bought it many times from his house.

On this day, after the mage still disguised himself, he went out to the market to buy rations.

As usual, the butcher set up his stall in the market early in the morning.

"Master Zhang, are there any spare ribs left?" An old woman approached the meat stall and asked.

"Today's is sold out, sister-in-law, come back tomorrow." Butcher Zhang replied carelessly.

"Okay, remember to keep it for me tomorrow, I'll definitely keep it," the aunt said.

"Sister-in-law, take these and feed them to your family's rhubarb," said the butcher, and gave everything to the woman beside the discarded meat.

Seeing this scene, the mage suddenly had an idea, and came up with an idea in his mind.

Thinking of this, the mage went towards the butcher, who was about to close the stall at this moment.

"Hey, master, are you in a hurry?" the mage stepped forward to greet him.

"Oh, ready to go home, what's the matter with you?" The butcher glanced at the person coming.

The person who came was wearing a black cloth, with a black turban wrapped around his head, leaving only two eyes outside.

The butcher thought this man was weird, but looking at his figure, he looked like an elderly man.

"I'm not here today to buy meat. I have a few dogs at home, and I want to ask you to buy some leftovers." The mage said while pinching his throat.

The butcher is no stranger to it. Every day, many people come to him and ask for bits and pieces.

"Look at the things in my basket, are they for you?" The butcher stepped aside and showed the basket to the mage.

"Not enough, I want more." The mage shook his head.

The butcher looked puzzled: "How many dogs do you have in your family? You need so many."

"I don't need to worry about it, master. You just sell it to me, and you set the price." The mage said seriously.

The butcher was still out of the situation, wondering what kind of people he met, not good meat, but scraps.

"In this case, I'll go home and tidy up for you, which should meet your needs." The butcher was full of joy.

It is a fool to have money but not make money, who can make life difficult for money.

In order not to let the butcher know more about himself, the mage only agreed with the butcher on one place.

"My home is in a village outside Nanli City, so tomorrow we can trade at the foot of the hillside outside the north gate." The Master proposed.

The butcher's house was not far from the north gate, so he agreed.

The next day, as agreed, the butcher brought half a donkey cart's worth of discarded garbage, including all kinds of rotten meat.

Along the way, the butcher was very careful, for fear of being smelled and asked the truth.

A long time ago, Ye Yan had stipulated that rotten meat could not enter or leave the city. The acquaintance of the butcher and the city guard took this opportunity to transport the garbage out of the north gate.

The butcher arrived at the foot of the north gate as promised, and the mage was already waiting.

Not far away, the butcher saw the mage, still wrapped in a long gown, he couldn't see his face at all, but he could see a scar at the corner of his eye.

The butcher was worried that he would be in trouble, so he didn't look at it too much.

"Master, here we come." The mage said with a low voice on purpose.

After the butcher stopped the donkey cart, he moved it down bucket by bucket.

"It's all here, do you want to check?" The butcher smiled embarrassedly.

Once the lids of these things are opened, the taste cannot be suppressed.

The sorcerer held the bucket and shook his head, "No need, master is very trustworthy."

After speaking, the mage took out a bag of money and handed it to the butcher.

"My legs and feet are not very convenient, please ask the master to move it to my cart for me." The mage said again.

The butcher saw the heavy bag of money and said happily, "Okay, just look at it."

There were three big barrels in total, and after they were loaded into the mage's car, the mage drove away in the car.

The butcher stood there for a long time, although he was a little puzzled, but he thought, maybe it has some special uses, so he didn't bother to get to the bottom of it.

"Go home!" The butcher blossomed happily.

The next day, many cattle and horses by the moat of Nanli City suffered from diarrhea.

For a while, the horse and cattle farmers were in a panic.

The young lamb died immediately.

The minds of the herdsmen went blank. The animals that were fine in the morning had this kind of thing happen before noon.

The herdsmen checked the cattle and sheep pens one after another, for fear that something unclean might be mixed in.

I checked it carefully and found no problems.

The people suspected that someone had poisoned them, so they quickly reported to the officials.

Officials came, and the veterinarians checked all the sick cattle and sheep, and found that there were dirty things in their stomachs, which were preliminarily determined to be food poisoning.

The herdsmen were caught off guard immediately. The food that their cattle and sheep ate were strictly inspected. If there were any problems, it must be in the water.

Guessing that there was a problem with the water, the herdsman quickly checked the water in his house, and there was no problem.

For a while, the officials also began to investigate.

At this time, some people went to the Yamen to complain, saying that they found dirty things in the river outside the city.

The person who reported to the official was from a family by the river, and when the young man went to the yamen, he was so angry that his face flushed with anger.

"My lord, the river bank is full of rubbish and rotten meat, washed up by the rising water at night, there must be more in the river!"

After the young man finished speaking, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He was going to fetch water from the river this morning when he saw it.

"The smell by the river is also very pungent, you must check it carefully, it's disgusting!"

The yamen took many people to the river to investigate, and they really caught a lot of rubbish.

This matter was very serious, and it reached Ye Yan's ears directly.

"What! Someone threw garbage into the river." Ye Yan slapped the table angrily.

"That's right, rotten meat, rotten boards, rotten cloth, everything." Changqing was also very uncomfortable.

Ye Yan frowned, he couldn't imagine how dirty the river was.

The river outside the city flows through many households. Ye Yan doesn't know who dares to commit such a serious crime.

"Go, go to the river bank." Ye Yan ordered.

After a while, Ye Yan arrived at the scene. Seeing the mess, Ye Yan felt that his blood was surging.

"The sickness of cattle and sheep this morning is probably related to this river water. Go and investigate." Ye Yan ordered.

Several veterinarians received orders and immediately set off to check.

Ye Yan interrogated the people present and got a piece of information from their mouths.

The carrion and rubbish and the rags look like a butcher's.

"Is what you said true?" Ye Yan asked sharply.

The young man below swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but still nodded firmly: "My lord, that rag is indeed Zhang Butcher's. He is always around butchering pigs, I'm sure."

Ye Yan made a look, and Chang Qing took people to arrest Butcher Zhang.

When Zhang Tuhu was arrested, he looked terrified, not knowing what he had done wrong, and kept shouting for injustice.

"Where are you wronged, these things don't belong to your house?" Ye Yan threw a pile of debris in front of him.

Butcher Zhang was frightened and dumbfounded at the time: "My lord, this... this belongs to my family."

"It's disgusting, his heart is really vicious, he must be punished severely!" All the people below were filled with righteous indignation.

"My lord, these things of mine were bought by someone, and I don't know why they appeared in the river. Everything I said, my lord, is true." Butcher Zhang kowtowed to the ground.

Ye Yan found something strange and said, "Since you said it wasn't you, recruit the person who bought your things."

This case was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface. Ye Yan imprisoned the butcher and asked him to prove his innocence. Of course, Ye Yan would continue to investigate the case.
