Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

Gongsun Ce pondered someone's words for a while, then cast a sideways glance and said coldly, "Does Master Bai despise me for being stupid? Can't follow your logic?"

Bai Jintang suddenly felt a chill down his spine, like thorns hanging upside down on the top of his head, so he hurriedly flattered him: "The word 'stupid' is used to describe mortals, sir, the posture of a fairy, how can it be framed in mortal terms? On medical skills , Mr. is a master of apricot forests, hanging pots to help the world; when it comes to spiritual wisdom, Mr. is even more exquisite, with a phoenix posture, just like the so-called accumulation of mountains into jade, Chu Zhongchu, a gentleman, Yiyilan Fangya..."

"That's enough, that's enough," Gongsun held back his laughter, and stopped him, "Don't brag about the bullshit, it's embarrassing for both of us, tell me, who is behind the scenes?"

Bai Jintang sighed inwardly, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Is the Xixia Mission going to Beijing soon?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"If I said that Xixia was the one who acquired Hulancao maliciously before and created a monopoly, what do you think?"

"You just said that there was an outbreak of fire snake spot in Xixia, so it makes sense for Xixia to hoard Hulancao in large quantities. After all, Xixia doesn't produce Hulancao locally, so you can only rely on us." Gongsun was talking, and suddenly saw Bai Jintang looked at himself with an expression of "Why are you so cute", Gongsun hesitated for a moment, coughed and said, "But I heard that ghosts will bring plagues wherever they go, and you have paved the way for him for so long just now. , um... So, the Xixia's fire snake spot is probably also caused by him?"

Bai Jintang clapped his hands and praised: "What did I say? Sir, you are extremely intelligent. You see, if I dial casually, sir will immediately understand the point!"

Gongsun blinked: "It's really a ghost? But hasn't he already joined the Yipintang? Why did he harm Xixia? Isn't the flood flooding the Dragon King Temple and your family beating your own family?"

Bai Jintang smacked his lips: "Ghost, strictly speaking, he doesn't look like a person. Whether he joins Yipintang or seeks refuge in Xixia, it's just a process for him, and the so-called allegiance is nothing more than mutual interests. Putting the fire snake spot disease in Xixia may be just an experiment of his, or it may be just a show of skill, and the lives of other people are worthless to him."

Gongsun paused, and murmured: "Ghost, Xixia... Hu Lancao..."

Suddenly remembering that during the day, when he mentioned the matter of ghosts joining Xixia Yipintang, the always calm and calm Eighth Sage King was startled.

"I see!" Gongsun jumped up, "No wonder the eight wise kings suddenly acted like this before, so he thought that Xixia was the mastermind behind the scenes! I was still a little puzzled at the time why Lord Bao wanted to protect what I said, although I was very moved But it's also a bit inexplicable... From this point of view, it seems that Xixia is about to reverse!"

Bai Jintang felt relieved, this cute baby finally figured it out!

"Since you have figured this out, Mister, you should be able to guess why Xixia bought Hulancao so much?" Bai Jintang tried to ask a guiding question again.

"Could it be that they want to intentionally spread our epidemic, causing panic in the capital with no cure?"

"Smart, the capital city at that time was like a sick and dying person, but at this moment, Xixia came with good medicine for the disease, and the lion opened his mouth. Do you think we agree or not?"

"This... what do they want?"

"Tax reduction and exemption are nothing but trivial matters." Bai Jintang tapped the table, "I'm afraid they want us to cede the fief."

"Is this a bit exaggerated?" Gongsun Ce frowned, a little suspicious, "The Eighth Prince has sealed off Wanyu Street, and now it has been fully investigated, and the number of infected people has not even exceeded a hundred. According to you, this living People can't infect each other; what's more, judging from the previous symptoms, the infected person is not in danger of life in a short period of time, at most it is painful, uncomfortable and festered, it is not so serious!"

"Well, you're right, and in one month's time this year's orchid orchids will be mature, when a large number of orchid orchids will be on the market, as long as the malicious monopoly is prevented, it can be cured." Although Bai Jintang said so, he still felt in his heart Feeling uneasy, she felt that Xi Xia could not have done so hastily.

"This time, with the help of the Eight Sage Kings, all the confirmed patients are isolated together. When the sun rises, I will go there with the imperial doctors. Maybe I can research other medicines, and I don't have to wait as long as a month." Seeing Bai Jintang's slightly sad face, Gongsun changed his tone and comforted him slowly.

After Gongsun finished speaking, Bai Jintang was stunned suddenly, and asked after a while: "You just said that all the confirmed patients are together?!"

"Yes, I wasn't sure whether there would be human-to-human transmission, so I immediately quarantined."

Bai Jintang felt very bad: "This is troublesome, and it is likely to fall into the trap again!"

"What do you mean?"

"The Zhong family came to the capital to seek trouble with you. They were instigated by the murderer. The other party gave them a large sum of money to let their whole family live in the Babao Building in the capital. On the surface, it seemed that they wanted to provoke Kaifeng. In order to make their corpses become the source of infection in the busiest street in the capital, Zhong’s family was massacred by extreme means!” Bai Jintang stood up, his expression of jokes no longer changed, “Now that all the infected people gather together, wouldn’t that be Is it equivalent to giving the murderer a second Zhong family?"

The second Zhong family? !

In a trance, the blood dripping from the whole street appeared in front of my eyes again, the scattered corpses, everyone's horrible expressions, and the smell of blood in the air was disgusting...

Shocked by Bai Jintang's words, Gongsun felt dizzy for a moment, his heart was beating wildly, his chest was constricted, and he felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spewed out!

"Gongsun!" Bai Jintang was in a hurry, and quickly supported Gongsun Ce, "Don't worry, maybe I'm just thinking too much! I'll go and see the situation right now!"

Gongsun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Take me with you!"

"But, your body..."

"take me!"

"Okay!" Bai Jintang picked up Gongsun and whistled again, only to hear a horse snort outside the Kaifeng mansion. After confirming the position of the horse, Bai Jintang took Gongsun out of the mansion and walked steadily. Landing firmly on the horse's back, the two rode away on the same horse in the dawn of the morning!

"where?"

"They are all placed in the Qincha Division for the time being!"

The two rushed to the Qinchasi, which was the isolation area, at this time the sky had begun to brighten slightly. Seeing that the Qinchasi was getting closer, Gongsun Ce felt that something was wrong. The feeling of depression and fear made him unbearable. breathe.

When we arrived at the Qinchasi, the gate was open, and several officers and soldiers were lying in front of the door. Bai Jintang frowned and helped Gongsun off his horse. At this time, some passers-by who got up early seemed to have noticed the unusualness of the Qinchasi, and some people were curious. Driven by the heart, they went to the Qinchasi to find out, but just as they walked to the door, they were so frightened by the scene inside that they fell to the ground.

"Dead! Dead!"

The two looked at each other, unexpectedly it was still a step late!Bai Jintang was about to step forward, Gongsun hurriedly took out a pair of gloves and a face scarf for Bai Jintang to put on, and then Bai Jintang came to the door, first checked the pulses of the officers and soldiers at the door, and found that they were not dead, but passed out from heavy injuries, Seeing some passers-by poking their heads and wanting to go in, he stopped him sharply: "Don't go in, you will be infected, all retreat ten steps away and wait for the people from the government to come."

Those passers-by were stunned by Bai Jintang's voice, feeling that this person was not easy to mess with, they all started to back away, but they all stuck their heads out to see what was going on inside.

After Gongsun put on his gloves and face towel, he had already stepped into the Qinchasi. As soon as he entered, there was another burst of scarlet, which made his head swell and hurt. There were corpses scattered all over his eyes. Then came a faint voice: "Help me...help me!"

As soon as Gongsun turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man huddled behind the door, his face was bloodstained and his body was covered with paint. He took a closer look, but dared not say anything: "Master Sun?"

Called by Gongsun Ce, the middle-aged man forcefully opened his eyes wide, and when he vaguely saw the person coming, he almost whimpered and shouted: "Gong...Mr. Gongsun, save me, save me!"

It turned out that this person was the Observation Envoy Sun Youyan, Mr. Sun, who was assigned to be in charge of the quarantine area.Gongsun hurriedly stepped forward to check on Master Sun's injury, and found that he was so weak because of a knife wound on his leg and bled profusely. After he was able to stop the bleeding skillfully, Gongsun comforted him: "Master Sun, don't panic, the bleeding has stopped. , it's all right."

Sun Youyan sighed, wiped the blood from his face, and said miserably: "Thanks to Mr. Gongsun, you arrived in time, otherwise my old fate may have to be accounted for here."

Gongsun saw that Bai Jintang had also come in to check on the other people's situation, so he couldn't help asking, "Master Sun, what happened?"

This question made Mr. Sun very heartbroken, and said with a mournful face: "Mr. Gongsun, you know that although I, Sun Youyan, is a fourth-rank official, the position of an observation officer sounds reasonable, but it is actually a false title. There was an accident on Wanyu Street, the emperor saw that I was free, so he arranged for me to be the chief inspector...that is, the person in charge of the quarantine area."

"I originally thought that it would not be difficult just to see a few patients, so I didn't leave too many guards. Who knew that before dawn this morning, there were screams outside the house suddenly. The old man... the old man was woken up by fright. Yes, you see, I ran out without changing my clothes, and as soon as I came out, I saw a group of men in white slashing and killing the patients here. I have lived for almost fifty years, how have I ever seen such a battle? I was so scared that I hurried He ran out of the door and wanted to go to the street to ask for help, but his old arms and legs were really bad, and when he was about to reach the door, he was chopped down to the ground, and his head hit the ground with blood all over his face!"

Master Sun continued to cry: "I was afraid they would kill me again, so I just lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead. After the group of people left, I slowly moved behind the door and waited for someone to come to rescue me. You will also see what happened next." It's..."
