"What did you say - what happened to Jiangnan?!"

The eighth elder brother stood up abruptly, and his habitually refined and gentle face suddenly showed some ferocity.The messenger shivered in fright, kowtowed deeply, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Master Su committed suicide in fear of crime, master—the master said that the momentum has been too tight recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to honor Ba Ye anymore, please Ba Lord Nian, based on the love of these years, gave a way of life..."

"Didn't I say that I will be able to keep him, how can I say that he will die when he dies?" Yinhu paced back and forth in the room for two anxious steps, tried his best to suppress the fire pressure, and said to the people with a pleasant face: " Go back and tell your second master that I am thinking about it, tell him to bear it a little longer, and I will give him an explanation."

"Ba Ye, now the master is disheartened and lazy. He only wants to protect himself and avoid the limelight, and he dare not ask for more status in the family business. If he can save his life, the mountains and rivers will last forever in the future, and he may still be loyal. If this life is I can’t keep it, but I don’t need to talk about it anymore.”

Although the person who came was trembling with fright, his words were very rigid, obviously someone had specially taught them in advance.Yinhu knew that this was probably what An Zhongren meant, but he couldn't reprimand the biggest God of Wealth, so he endured it and then said slowly: "It's okay, your master is tired, so take a rest." It doesn't matter. There is no need to say whether you are loyal or not. Over the years, the relationship between me and him is not just a master and a slave. Just leave everything to him and don't need to worry about my situation. Even if we don't meet again in the future, I will try to help him through this calamity with his help in the past few years."

These words were so affectionate, reasonable, lenient, and benevolent that the old ten next to him almost had tears in his eyes, and couldn't help standing up and shouting: "My starling is a dignified Baylor, and it is too late for me to condescend to associate with him as a salt merchant. Praise him! All these years, his business has been going smoothly, how can there be no help from mynah all the way? Now, just seeing a small nail, he shrinks back into the bastard's shell in fright, what kind of righteousness is he talking about! "

"Brother Ten, what nonsense are you talking—quickly shut up!"

Yinhu yelled angrily, then helped the person on the ground up with his own hands, and said in a gentle and gentle voice: "Master Shi was also short of breath for a while, so don't take what you said to your heart, so don't learn from your master, so that you won't be in vain. Tell him to be upset again. You go back, wait for Qiu Xi to finish talking about anything, and tell your master, I will always give him an explanation. "

The man obediently backed away a few steps and kowtowed, without saying much, turned around, got out of the tent, got on his horse and left.Elder Brother Shi, still angry, spat hard at the door of the tent, and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell! I'll flatter you when I see you better today, but tomorrow will be a little bit worse. Run as soon as you head, faster than a rabbit, there are people with human hearts and inhumane things!"

"Okay, it's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. What's the use of scolding him?"

Yinhu patted him on the shoulder, comforted the younger brother and sat down, but his eyes fell on the silent brother Jiu thoughtfully, and asked gently: "Old Jiu, what are you thinking about?" What?"

"Huh?" Yinzhen seemed to have just realized it, raised her head and answered blankly, then smiled and waved her hands and said, "I didn't think about anything, but I suddenly felt that it was not enough to rely on others to support me, so I had to earn it myself." Only money can be relied on..."

"Ninth brother really has this intention?" A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the eighth elder brother, he walked over quickly and shook his wrist, and sat down in the chair next to him, "I have always thought so, but There are too many errands sent by Huang Ama, after all, there is no time for another body... If the ninth brother really has this plan, I will pay the capital, and you take the old ten to do business. With your ability, why not worry about not earning money?"

"What's the use of earning, you don't know how much I earn will be confiscated by my brother, and in the end he only gave me a red envelope of 5000 taels?"

Yinzhen replied disapprovingly, leaned back lazily in the chair, picked up the teacup and slowly blew the foam from the tea leaves.Yinhu looked at this younger brother who seemed to be a little different from before, and felt something strange in his heart, but for a while, he really couldn't see any specific clues.Just as he was thinking about it, Elder Ten suddenly came over with big strides, snatched the teacup from Yinzhen's hand and said with a smile, "Old Jiu, you don't want to take Joe here anymore, isn't it just a partnership to do business? I'll just help you! Anyway, we have a lot of families, so we can do whatever you want, and we can use the money we earn together, so it's okay if you don't let your brother know? You're such an adult and you still ask Fifth Brother to take care of it If you don’t dare to do that, you’ll be called a buddy’s joke if you say it!”

"Fart! Don't you just listen to what mynah says?"

Yinzhen scolded with a smile, raised his foot and kicked him, but turned his eyes and said: "But what you said is a bit reasonable, if we do business, I guess my brother is too lazy to take care of it... I happen to have a few ways to get money at hand, and when Qiu Xun goes back to discuss and discuss, we can make a small sum of money to enjoy ourselves."

When he was talking, he had changed back to his usual willful and willful appearance. Yinhu sized him up for a while, but finally he was relieved, thinking that he was just being careless before, and nodded with a smile to encourage him.Seeing that it was getting late, he sent the two younger brothers back to rest.

Before arriving at the Rehe Palace, they could only pitch tents to rest along the way.Yinzhen strolled all the way back to her tent, but suddenly stopped at the door of the tent, carefully observing the movement around her.Seeing that no one was paying attention, he turned his head and sneaked into Elder Brother Thirteen's tent: "Old Thirteen, hurry up and get Brother Thirteen some wine to drink—I'm so pissed off!"

"What are you doing... Didn't you say you were going to see the starling's joke? Why are you so angry?"

Yinxiang just came back from practicing a set of kung fu, and was twisting a handkerchief to wipe his face, when he heard the sound of untiing the wine bag, he threw it over.Yinzhen didn't dislike it either, she raised her head and took a few mouthfuls before she wiped her mouth and slammed it on the table forcefully: "Isn't it all because of your Mr. Dai? That's good, I couldn't see anything at first, myna I didn’t feel much about what to do. Once the old man finished teaching him, I could see it clearly—I just watched him show his favor, how he tried to buy people’s hearts, and how he tried to trick me into helping him. I'm almost suffocated to death by seeing her hypocritical face!"

"It deserves it, why did you think I was younger than the old 14, so you had to hang out with them?"

Yin Xiang smiled, wiped his face and put his braids around his neck, and sat down at the table by him: "Mr. The secret agent has to continue working. Ninth Brother, I have wronged you."

"Come on, just by the way you can't help laughing, I know you don't sympathize with me at all."

Yinzhen glared at him resentfully, kicked a stool beside him angrily and asked him to sit down, and sighed helplessly: "You said that Mr. Dai is so capable, why did he get arrested in the first place?" What? I still thought he was a pedantic scholar who only knew how to read, but who knew that he was actually a master who knew the human nature of the officialdom..."

"Mr. Dai was born in a family of high-ranking officials in the former Ming Dynasty, and he has been familiar with it since he was a child. He has gone through the twelfth generation of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and the intrigues and twists and turns that have been figured out in the officialdom are far more powerful than ours. ——The reason why Mr. Dai was arrested was because he suffered from the background of the former Ming court. Anyone can frame and bully him casually. But now it’s all over, Huang Ama already knows about him, so there is no need People can move him at will."

Yinxiang has been studying with Dai Mingshi for a while, so he knows a lot about Mr. Nanshan's past.After explaining patiently, he turned serious and said in a low voice: "Besides, Mr. Dai was put here by Brother Wu to teach me knowledge, and he is not a teacher. You don't want to listen, and you don't ask." Come here and follow me to learn, if you are still willing to make people play around like you did before, no one will stop you, anyway, fools have fools..."

"Who said I don't want to listen to it! Aren't I just—— just complaining casually..."

Yinzhen jumped up as if being pricked by a needle, and then gave the old thirteen a hard look - her brother actually put Mr. Dai in the old thirteen's mansion because he was so unbearable. This point really stimulated Master Jiu who had always been sloppy.He rushed over here for two days and insisted on proving that he was not a poor student. He was already prepared to never doze off without falling asleep. Who knew that this Mr. Dai was not teaching a subset of classics and history, not a famous master? The famous articles are actually those official inside stories, people's hearts and human nature that no one has ever told him.

He has no talent in reading serious scriptures, but he can understand everything except serious scriptures. Often the old thirteen is still confused, but he has mastered it and is eager to apply it in practice.The first task that he eagerly took on was actually to act as an internal response for his brother in the Baye Party. When he went there, he was still a little awkward. After seeing through his starling's calculations, the last bit of awkwardness was exhausted. scattered.It's just that I've been suffocating all day long, and I have to go to Old Shisan to vent it before I feel comfortable.

"Okay, keep your voice down, don't let outsiders hear you." Yin Xiang pulled his brother Ninth, moved closer, and lowered his voice mysteriously: "Let me tell you, Mr. Dai said this Back to the starling to push Qiu Xi forward, there must be some other plan, you have to watch carefully, don't tell him that he is harming anyone. If there is any movement, please send back, the fifth brother has not followed for a while , we have to find a way to pass the letter back to him..."

"How do you know it's the old eight's tricks?"

I still don't know what the bear brothers in my family who grew up overnight are tossing about. Yin Qi has just recovered from the poison of the incense in the past two days, and he has no excuse to skip work and be lazy, so he simply returned to the Ministry of punishment and continued to do nothing. Unsincerely accompany his senior brother to work.It's just that Zhang Tingyu was really frightened by him these two days, so he persuaded him not to go out to make trouble, just stay in the house and help review the documents that were found out. Staying in the house coaxing the children to learn Gongdou, actually gave this life a taste of the quiet years.

"Mr. Dai said that it was inevitable for the autumn to be ahead of schedule this time. Haste and panic are unavoidable. Only the eighth elder brother has been calm and undisturbed since the departure. Even if he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he must have known about it."

Wen Qu responded, and put Dai Mingshi's letter on the table lightly: "Si elder brother and the emperor are not feeling well, please ask the imperial doctor to see it, they say it is a little tired, just take a few more doses of soothing soup It's all right—the emperor said that there is no need to say anything in advance, just ask the master to let go, but you must protect yourself, and you must not hurt yourself because of this."

"Understood, tell Fourth Brother and Huang Ama that everything is fine here, so that they don't have to worry."

Yin Qi nodded, propped himself up to sit upright, and took a sip from the teacup beside him.After thinking for a while, he took out a piece of paper and wrote a few lines, folded it and handed it to him: "I will pass this on to the fourth brother, and tell him to take care of the fourteenth. I always feel that the eighth is thinking about the fourteenth, but And for a while I couldn't figure out where he would start... Fourteen's temper looks like Thirteen's, but in fact it is completely different, and he can't be treated in the same way. If you don't pay close attention, you may break out sooner or later What a disaster."

Wen Qu responded and walked out the door quickly, Yin Qi felt a little tired from sitting, just about to get up and move around, but suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.Frowning slightly, he quickly pushed the door out, but saw Zhang Tingyu was holding a booklet tightly, his eyes full of panic, and hurried over: "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

"Brother, something happened in Beijing."

Zhang Tingyu responded in a low voice, handed him the folder in his hand, and signaled Tanlang to help him go back to the house first.Yinqi heard that something happened in Beijing, but he was a little relieved - after all, the important people have already passed the Rehe Palace, and they are about to go to the Mulan paddock, so it's probably okay if something happened. It will be implicated to the other end, no matter what, there is always room for change.If the messenger comes back to say that something happened at Mulan's paddock, he can only worry about it here.

Several people hurried back to the small study inside, Zhang Tingyu walked quickly to Yinqi's side as soon as he closed the door, lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Brother, it's midsummer now, and the disease will be all together, once you die It’s impossible to stop people. Now it’s only reported the situation in the suburbs of Beijing. No one has any statistics on what’s going on in the city. There are no masters in the palace. Let’s—”

"Huang Ama left me in Beijing. This time, we should be the two in charge. We can't start to panic from the two of us."

Yin Qi replied in a warm voice, and scanned the booklet at a glance, and he had roughly considered it in his heart.Looking at his calm and composed attitude, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but blushed slightly, and hurriedly suppressed the panic in his heart when he heard the shock, calmed down and said: "Yes, Tingyu remembered."

"Come on, brother, sit down first."

In fact, Yin Qi wasn't too unruffled, but he was really not surprised by what was reported in the brochure - after all, he was the one who sent people down to investigate this matter.It's not a disease that only one or two people will get. He knew that Honghui was suffering from malaria, so he sent a message to Shi Shilun to send someone down to check if there was any sick family in Beijing.It's just that there's been no reply in the past few days, which almost made him think that this kid really passed on the malaria parasite after eating a bowl of iced malaria parasites himself.

"Senior brother, don't worry—this malaria is not incurable, and it won't kill people immediately. The most important thing right now is to let the people below know that malaria cannot be transmitted from person to person. There is no need to avoid sick people like tigers and wolves when they are isolated. The reason why there are so many people who get sick is because...well, because of the miasma, as long as you get rid of the miasma, you will be fine..."

Halfway through my speech, I felt that I couldn't make it up. The former science champion who had long since given up popularizing scientific knowledge struggled to organize his words, trying to make up a more fantasy explanation.Zhang Tingyu's expression was unclear and serious, and he blinked blankly waiting for Yinqi to continue talking, but the greedy wolf at the side couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lightly and pulled his master's clothes: "Master, you It’s better to tell the truth, Mr. Zhang may not understand..."

"...Forget it, let's put it another way."

Yinqi himself also felt that such nonsense was really not an option, so he sighed resignedly, and drew an abstract pathogenic bacteria on the paper with a few strokes: "Look, senior brother, this is to make people get infected. Malaria. This thing cannot be transmitted from person to person, it can only be transmitted by mosquitoes. If a mosquito sucks the blood of a sick person and then sucks the blood of a healthy person, it will pass it on. But it may not be passed on. You can get sick immediately, and the incubation period is different according to different people's physique...Brother, do you understand?"

"..." Zhang Tingyu shook his head blankly, frowned and thought hard for a while, and then tentatively said softly: "That is to say—this malaria will not be severe, but it will be infected by mosquitoes. ?”

"It's almost there, as long as you know this." Yinqi resolutely gave up and continued to popularize science, crumpled the piece of paper and put it aside, "Malaria can be cured with quinine, and Honghui also suffered from this disease a few days ago. I have already tried it, and it will be effective after just one dose. I have almost a hundred people in my hand, and the rest of the Nandu people are still acting—ahem, still searching. Senior brother, first help me get the nine admirals and Master Shi Find them all, let’s distribute the medicine first, the most important thing is to stop the panic of the people first, let’s talk about the rest later.”

This Zhang Tingyu still understood, nodded his head and stood up quickly, before he went out to send someone to summon him, but Shi Shilun limped to the door by himself: "Fifth Master, I have already prepared all the manpower for you." , you just have to tell them what to do."

"Master Shi just happened to come." Yin Qi had already greeted him from the house, and responded with a smile, and took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to him, "The medicine is stored in the Tai Hospital, my lord will take someone there first." He led the imperial physicians to spread the medicine, and told the people not to panic. Malaria is spread by mosquitoes, not from person to person. Besides, the malaria infection may not happen immediately, and it takes ten days and a half months to get sick. It's a common occurrence, and the statistics this time must be biased—Master Shi, Master Shi?"

Mr. Shi, who had been named and praised by the Long Live Lord for being shrewd and capable, stood there in pain, and was helplessly silent for a while, before finally hesitating and whispering: "Fifth Lord—how about you say it again..."

"..." Yinqi was silent for a moment, finally gave up struggling completely, and sighed resignedly, "Forget it, let's talk about miasma..."
