Datang Institute of Technology

I have long heard that the Shandong gentry live alone in a corner and have great influence. Even if the government's decree is slightly unreasonable, they can unite and collectively boycott it. The key is that these people are all with pens and have great influence.

When I saw it today, it was indeed the case. I knew that it was the sheriff who came outside, but I could still say that if there was anything, I would talk about it after the banquet at his house.

Zhou Shoucheng was so angry that his beard was crooked. The situation in Henan Dao was special compared to other Dao Dao, but Xu Jiazi is now His Majesty's imperial envoy. If he can't control these people in person, his face will be too ugly.

Zhou Shoucheng was about to have someone give them a good look, when Xu Changsheng said, "It's okay, it's important, as long as Zhou Junshou ensures that they don't leave the mansion."

Xu Changsheng's purpose is to isolate, and he doesn't want to meddle in other things. Compared with the people in Jiangnan Road, he doesn't care about the Cui family at all, and the governor of Zhou ordered the Cui family to be cleaned up, and there must be physical contact. Increasing the probability of infection will make things more complicated.

After Xu Changsheng finished speaking, he said to Zhou Shoucheng again, "I have to trouble the governor of Zhou to send half of the people to the Wang family in Shandong. Just do the same thing. If they don't listen and dare to come out to contact other people, they can just shoot and kill them, Your Majesty." Gave me the privilege of cutting first and playing later."

Governor Zhou narrowed his eyes, the seriousness of the situation is probably beyond the imagination of these Shandong gentry.

Xu Changsheng had no choice but to order that killing people was not what he wanted, but if they didn't use some vigorous means to deter them, if they forced their way out and spread smallpox everywhere, that would be a tragedy in the world, and it would be a tragedy in the world, sacrificing one or two people and the entire Henan Province. In the face of the danger of his life, Xu Changsheng had no choice. Now is not the time for the Holy Mother.

Zhou Shoucheng took half of the students away, and Xu Changsheng also asked half of the students to follow.

Cui Mansion, the middle-aged man saw that the people in the Sheriff's Mansion actually compromised, and he didn't even dare to argue with him.

Returning to the mansion proudly, closing the door, as if nothing happened outside, the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing resounded again in the mansion.

The corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitched. He was a noble from Shandong. He originally wanted to explain the matter to the other party, but in the end, the other party closed the door and ignored him at all.

The old doctor Wen blew his beard and stared, "They are dying, and they are still so domineering. The old man thinks they are too dead."

But it is not the truth.

Xu Changsheng glanced at his students. Because of the long journey, he didn't even have a rest, and he came to help block Cui's mansion again. The exhaustion on his face was very obvious.

Xu Changsheng thought about it, as long as they can be blocked, let them rest now, they will be busy later.

Xu Changsheng said to his students, "Put up a tent and rest for a while to refresh yourself."

When they left Chang'an, they all brought tents, because no one knew whether they would sleep in the open on the way, so they brought tents for emergencies.

The students also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, they were really exhausted. They were basically on horseback all the way, and they didn't even have time to take a breath.

Xu Changsheng also started to set up tents. The tents were made in Xujia Village. They were very thin, windproof and heat-resistant, and very easy to set up.

After setting up the tent, Li Zhi was stuffed inside. Li Zhi was in good spirits. He was sleeping on the white back. He poked out a small head from the tent, watching curiously, as the flames flickered outside.

No matter how you look at it, it looks a bit like the ransacking in other people's mouths, but the person whose house was ransacked seems not afraid at all, and looks like singing and dancing. It's really interesting. I haven't seen this kind of situation before. When I go back, he will tell Li Shiyi and the others. Talk about his experience.

Li Zhi simply lay down in the tent, only showing his head to watch.

The students also got into the tents they built, closed their eyes and meditated.

The onlookers were stunned, what is going on?Obviously, it seems that there should be a big conflict, but it looks particularly calm.

Xu Changsheng smiled, how many people understand the turbulent waves under the calm?

Xu Changsheng squinted for a while, then got up. The guards outside the Sheriff's Mansion were all nervous, and the knives in their hands were sweating, because if the Cui family didn't listen to dissuasion, they would have to step forward to stop it. However, according to the students from Chang'an, the people of Cui's family may have been infected with smallpox.Which one of their families doesn't have the old and the young.

Looking at the expressions of these guards, Xu Changsheng probably knew what they were thinking, and said, "Do as we told you just now, as long as you don't come into direct contact, you won't be so easily infected."

But it seemed that his words had no effect, and a group of guards were still nervous.

Not long after, the banquet in the Cui Mansion seemed to be over, and the singing and dancing stopped.

The gate of Cui Mansion finally opened, and the guests came out. Maybe the middle-aged man went in and said something just now. A group of guests looked at the guards outside with disdain. Look at these guards, they are far away from the gate of Cui Mansion. Yes, you still want to come up and ask for trouble?They Shandong gentry are like-minded, so they can be manipulated so easily by others.

Saying goodbye to Palace Master Cui's family, he walked outside without even looking at the guards outside.

However, before he walked a few steps, he heard a boy's voice, "Shoot."

The guests were taken aback, what?

Before they could react, a shower of arrows landed in front of their feet, and the ones who were too close were stuck in the toes of their shoes.

After shivering for a while, Jiu Jin woke up with a start. What was shot was really an arrow, and these guards really dared to do it.

The face was horrified, and then angry, "What are you doing? How dare you shoot arrows at our Shandong gentry for no reason? Tomorrow we will let the people of Henan Province know your evil deeds. You must know that this is Henan Province. "

Angry voices filled the night, Xu Changsheng was not moved at all, but said in amazement, "Didn't the Cui family tell you just now? Anyone who dares to break out of here, no matter who they are, will be shot and killed."

What?There was a moment of silence, the Cui family didn't say anything about it, they just said that there was a group of counselors called counselors outside?

"You guys are so brave to shoot directly? If you are so vain about human life, we Shandong gentry will never quit with you." Someone shouted.

Xu Changsheng looked over, "If you have the courage, you will know if you try it."

After speaking, he said to the guard, "Don't be weak, you know the consequences."

The guards trembled a little. If they were allowed to break out, what would happen? I was terrified to think about it, and they couldn't be allowed to get close no matter what.

A group of people outside the Cui residence looked at Xu Changsheng, who is this boy?Even the prefect Zhou Shoucheng did not dare to act recklessly. They knew very well that His Majesty sent Zhou Shoucheng to Henan Province to ease the relationship between the imperial court and the Shandong gentry. It's not here to provoke conflicts, which is why they have nothing to fear.

At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward, he was from Cui's residence, "You guys are too much to disturb my guests. Where is Governor Zhou? Ask him to come out and speak."

Xu Changsheng replied, "Governor Zhou is not here. I am in full charge of this place now. What I want to tell you is that anyone who dares to break out will have the consequences. You have seen the consequences just now."

The middle-aged man's face turned red with anger, "What an arrogant boy, even you county guards don't dare to do this, I want to see it, and we went out, what can you do to me?"

After finishing speaking, he insisted on going out directly. As a Shandong gentry, he had been domineering for too long. He really couldn't believe that a mere young man dared to stir up conflicts between the imperial court and the Shandong gentry.

The guard looked at Xu Changsheng, Xu Changsheng directly took the longbow from the guard's hand, drew the bow and shot it without hesitation.

"Whoosh." The sound of arrows piercing through the air.

The arrow directly brushed past the middle-aged man's arm, bringing up a trace of blood.

Xu Changsheng was a little regretful, but unfortunately his archery skills were not good, he was originally shooting people.

In the tent, Li Zhi covered his eyes in shame. It was wonderful, even the dean’s archery skills were too bad. Instructor Li often said in the academy, if you don’t study archery seriously, you will be just like your dean. If you miss nine shots, it would be embarrassing to go out.

The middle-aged man stopped abruptly, his body trembled, and he really shot an arrow at him, and he trembled a little when he spoke, not knowing whether he was angry or angry, "Ignorant boy, you... how dare you, you Do you know who I am?"

Xu Changsheng didn't even look at it, "Whoever you are, I don't want to step out of here today."

Xu Changsheng returned the longbow to the guard, and said, "There is no need to ask or hesitate, as long as they dare to take a few more steps and shoot them directly, I will be responsible for what happened."

The guards finally became firm and nodded.

The people in Cui's mansion looked at each other in blank dismay. The other party was serious, not just pretending. They would dare to shoot and kill anyone as long as they walked out.

But why are they just here for a banquet? Even if the Cui Mansion really did something, it has nothing to do with them. , Surrounding them so far apart, how do you describe it?It's like surrounding a group of plague gods?

Yes, no matter what, it feels like they are surrounded by a group of plague gods.

No matter how you think about it, things feel a little weird.

The middle-aged man was still yelling, "Okay, okay, you don't care about our Shandong gentry at all? At that time, our Shandong gentry will definitely write a joint letter to see how you explain to His Majesty."

Xu Changsheng didn't care at all, he was also tired, and he also wanted to have a good rest with the students, and then it was time to start work tomorrow.

At this time, a prestigious old man walked out from the crowd, dressed as a scholar, with a sonorous body, and looked quite a bit of the pride of a scholar.

The old man looked neither humble nor overbearing, "I don't know who the young man is. Is there any misunderstanding? The old man is a Confucian Kong Yingyi."

Xu Changsheng didn't want to answer, but... a member of the Confucian family in Qufu, Shandong?

His name is still Kong Yingyi, so what does that have to do with Kong Yingda, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine?

Xu Changsheng studied in Guozijian when he was a child. Although he didn't last long, he can be regarded as half of Kong Yingda's disciple of Kong Jijiu.

Xu Changsheng had no choice but to cup his fists and said, "Xu Changsheng from the Xu family."

Kong Yingyi was taken aback for a moment, Xu Family Xu Changsheng?It’s not that... At the beginning, Kong Yingda often sent letters back to his hometown in Qufu, and all the letters mentioned a person, a person who even the representative of Confucianism, Kong Yingda, was extremely respected. The high level of literary attainments is astonishing, the key is that there are signs of establishing a school at a young age.

The admiration between the lines is indescribable, this is the first time he has seen Kong Yingda admire a person so much, and he is still a young man outside of Confucianism.

Therefore, the members of the Kong family know Xu Changsheng fairly well, but hasn't the Xu family never been out of Chang'an?How could it appear here now, and make such a fuss?

The old man said, "It turned out to be the son of the Xu family. Speaking of which, you also have some connections with my Confucian school."

Xu Changsheng was embarrassed. He knew that the old man was talking about the Imperial College Confucian offering wine. It was like this in ancient times. Even a teacher for a day was also a teacher, and the meaning of a teacher in ancient times is different.

Xu Changsheng had no choice but to straighten his body, and bowed in a proper manner, "Student Xu Changsheng, I have met the sage of the Confucius family."

The old man waved his hand, "There is no need to be polite to Xu Jiazi, I have heard about Xu Jiazi's talent, I should have sat down and had a good chat when I saw him today, but..."

After a pause, he continued, "I don't know Xu Jiazi, why did you stop me in the middle of the night?"

The guests of the Cui Mansion, seeing the old master Confucius, finally relieved the atmosphere and breathed a sigh of relief. However, this young man is actually the son of the Xu family who founded an academy and caused a sensation in the entire Tang Dynasty?

It's also strange, they also changed from anger just now to curiosity, why the Xu family who has never been out of Chang'an suddenly came to Henan Road to embarrass them?It stands to reason that they have no grievances or enmities.

Xu Changsheng is very tired now, he wanted to rest well, and he will talk to these people slowly tomorrow, but now it seems that it is really impossible.

He can ignore other people, but this senior of the Kong family can't lose his etiquette. If he loses his etiquette and returns to Chang'an, Kong Jijiu will have to go to his academy to make a fuss.

Xu Changsheng cupped his hands to the old gentleman, and it seemed that he could rest only after he made it clear, and said, "The student is ordered by His Majesty to come to Henan Road to deal with some matters. If he offends, I hope Mr. Kong will forgive him."

As soon as the sound fell, there was silence.

Did the Xu family come here by order?What order would it be, and why did Cui Mansion besieged?

Mr. Kong was also taken aback, but immediately thought of something, and asked, "But it has something to do with vaccination?"

The vaccinia vaccination was produced by Xu Jiazi's college, but the people in Henan Province were very resistant, so it made sense for Xu Jiazi to come.

Xu Changsheng replied, "It's sort of."

As soon as the voice fell, the middle-aged man in Cui's mansion said, "Since the Xu family is here to solve the problem of vaccinating Henan Province, why should he bring people around my Cui's mansion? Is it a public revenge? Cui must report to His Majesty and pay me back." The Cui family is fair."

Xu Changsheng: "..."

Public revenge?Xu Changsheng also wanted to ask, if the people in Henan Province refuse to be vaccinated against vaccinia, is it because you gentry are obstructing it because of your personal enmity with him.

Hearing that Xu Changsheng came here under the holy order, he was still a little nervous, but when he heard that it was just for vaccination, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The middle-aged member of the Cui family was also a little apprehensive at first, but when he heard that he was only vaccinated for that, he was relieved for a while, and then became unreasonable, "People don't want to be vaccinated, so surround me What is the Cui family doing? If we don’t come out with a reason today, my Cui family swears not to quit.”

Mr. Kong also frowned. Xu Jiazi did it well. He just shot an arrow and hurt people. Everyone could see clearly when the arrow brushed against his arm just now, but what Xu Jiazi did to him just now Student etiquette, proper manners, he can't just watch this matter, he looked at a group of spectators, and said, "Since the matter is understood, it's better to let these guests leave first."

He also had good intentions. He heard that the Xu family and the Cui family seemed to have some personal grievances. The Xu family actually used His Majesty's order to settle the personal grievances. It was a joke. Now that he sent these people away, the influence can also be reduced. lowest.

It's getting late now, and some guests are really in a hurry to go home. Since this matter has nothing to do with them, and Mr. Kong is coming forward, Xu Jiazi must give it face.

But... Xu Changsheng's voice came, "I'm afraid I can't fulfill Mr. Kong's wish. Not only these people can't leave, but Mr. Kong may have to stay temporarily."

What?As soon as the sound came out, a needle could be heard.

Mr. Kong was stunned. He was thinking of the Xu family. Not only did the Xu family not appreciate it, but he also wanted to detain him?How can he say that he is also of the same generation as Kong Yingda, if the Xu family's behavior is spread, it will not be notorious?

How important the reputation of a scholar is, I believe no one knows.

There was a moment of silence, is Xu Jiazi crazy?How does it feel like biting anyone.

The middle-aged Cui family was happy, and Xu Jiazi's reputation should not be ruined this time. This was not their intentional guidance, but Xu Jiazi's own death.

Old Mr. Kong frowned and looked at Xu Changsheng. With Xu Changsheng's well-behaved behavior just now and Kong Yingda's praise in his previous letters, it is definitely not possible to do so.

Xu Changsheng sighed, and it seemed that he could only make it clear tonight, "Changsheng did come to Henan Province by imperial decree to solve the vaccination problem, but Changsheng's siege of Cui's mansion was not because of personal grudges."

Everyone looked at Xu Changsheng, as if they were waiting for him to explain why.

Some people also said, "Whatever it is, but what does it have to do with us? Even we are not allowed to leave?"

Everyone looked at Xu Changsheng, yes, even if it's a personal grudge, it has nothing to do with them, right?

Xu Changsheng replied, "No, when you come to the Cui Mansion, you are already involved. Changsheng cannot let you leave."

Confused a group of people, why?

Mr. Kong frowned, "Can Xu Jiazi explain clearly why we are involved?"

The middle-aged man in Cui's mansion also said arrogantly, "I want to see how the Xu family explained today, not because of personal grievances, why did they surround our Cui's mansion, what kind of vaccine vaccination is not good for you to promote, shut me up in Cui's mansion What's up?"

Xu Changsheng sneered, "Your Excellency will be the head of the Cui family?"

The middle-aged man of the Cui family replied, "No, it is the head of the Cui family."

Xu Changsheng thought to himself, it's very good, and he didn't need to go to the head of the Cui family.

Xu Changsheng looked at Mr. Kong, "Once the student explains things clearly, the old man will understand."

Old Mr. Kong nodded, took a step back, and gave the position to Patriarch Cui.

All eyes are on Patriarch Cui and Xu Changsheng. Even now, they have not realized the seriousness of the matter. They thought it was the grievances between the Xu family and the Cui family that got them involved. They also want to see how the Xu family is doing. Sophistry, because apart from personal grievances, they really can't think of anything else.

Xu Changsheng looked at the middle-aged Cui family and said, "Patriarch Cui, right? Ask Cui if he sent someone to rob old doctor Wen a few days ago."

Patriarch Cui snorted, "Nonsense, I don't have anything in the Cui family, would I go to grab something from an old doctor?"

As soon as the words fell, the old doctor Wen jumped out with a blushing neck, "Cui Zhong, you still dare to quibble? It was you who personally led someone into my temporary laboratory and snatched the petri dish that day, and my eyes were blurred again." He also recognizes people clearly.”

Cui Chong frowned, and looked at the distraught old doctor Wen, with him around, he couldn't argue anymore, and said, "So it's old doctor Wen, isn't what old doctor Wen said too serious, how can it be called robbery? It's just that Cui went to old doctor Wen's as a guest, and his hands were itchy for a while, and he took a few glass bottles, which are worth a lot of money, and he can trouble old doctor Wen to be so motivating, and Cui will give you a few taels later, just treat it Can Cui buy it?"

The old lady Wen was so angry that she couldn't speak. Isn't it just a few glass bottles?

Cui Zhong continued, looking at Xu Changsheng in feigned surprise, "Could it be because of this reason that the Xu family brought people around my Cui residence, and made all the guests not to leave?"

The crowd was also a little commotion, which was obviously an excuse, because just a few glass bottles can do this?

Mr. Kong also frowned. If this was the case, the Xu family's anger would be too severe.

Xu Changsheng looked at Cui Zhong, "Patriarch Cui is right, it is for this reason that Changsheng surrounded Cui's residence and prevented all the guests from leaving."

Everyone was stunned, Mr. Kong was also stunned, Xu Jiazi actually admitted that he is not...

Cui Zhong laughed, "Listen, everyone, this is the Xu family who has been rumored throughout the Tang Dynasty, the master of the fairy palace, bullshit."

"That's right, Xu family, even if you have a big personal grievance with the Cui family, you can't surround us all and prevent us from leaving."

When a group of guests thought about it, they were also angry. These are some trivial matters of sesame and mung beans.

Some angry people just walked outside. They still didn't believe that Xu Jiazi was really like a mad dog, because he dared to stop these irrelevant people at such a young age.

However, after taking a step or two, the arrow in the guard's hand shot past with a "whoosh", causing people to retreat in shock.

Mr. Kong's complexion is also not good, Xu Jiazi is really messing around.

Xu Changsheng's voice came, "It is indeed because the Cui family robbed old doctor Wen's bottles, His Majesty ordered me to come to deal with this matter, everything from Changsheng is true."

What?Everyone was taken aback, what did Xu Jiazi say?

Cui Zhong laughed. His Majesty has always attached great importance to the relationship with the Shandong gentry. Would he issue such an order because of such a trivial matter?

Mr. Kong also said, "Nonsense."

Xu Changsheng looked at Cui Zhong seriously, "When you were grabbing those glass bottles, did old doctor Wen tell you what was in them?"

Everyone was still angry, but Cui Zhong was stunned for a moment, but when he thought about it, how is that possible?It's just an excuse for old man Wen to talk nonsense.

Cui Zhong was about to say something, when Xu Changsheng suddenly shouted, "Cui Zhong, let me ask you, did old doctor Wen tell you what's in it?"

Everyone was startled by Xu Changsheng's voice.

Cui Zhongyi frowned, "Xu Jiazi, don't be abusive and alarmist."

Alarmist?

Xu Changsheng took a deep breath, "Cui Zhong, let me ask you again, where are those bottles now, and have you opened them yet?"

The people around were a little confused, why did they feel that something was wrong, could it be that there was really something valuable in those glass bottles?

Cui Zhong was also a little frustrated, "Xu Changsheng, don't make excuses. My Cui family has been in the world for a hundred years, and I'm afraid that you, a brat, will fail? It's not so easy to use such a plot to destroy my Cui family."

Xu Changsheng sneered, "Cui Zhong, answer my question, or I will let the guards slaughter you all over the house."

wow.

What is Xu Jiazi talking about?

Xu Changsheng's voice literally made everyone speechless in shock.

Cui Zhong was short of breath. He had seen someone who was arrogant, but he had never seen someone who was so arrogant. He was going to be slaughtered every now and then?How dare you say it so brazenly?

Cui Zhong yelled, "Little bastard, I want to see if you dare to slaughter my Cui family in front of so many people!"

Xu Changsheng said immediately, "The archers are ready to aim at the Cui family."

The movement of raising the bow in unison.

All sounds stopped.

Even Mr. Kong took a deep breath.

Xu Changsheng continued, "Cui Zhong, where are those glass bottles now? Have you opened them yet? This is your Cui family's last chance."

Cui Chong was so angry that he couldn't breathe smoothly, "Okay, okay, I want to see if you really have such courage."

His Cui family is based in Shandong, when has he suffered such a big grievance.

The corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth turned cold, and he raised his hands.

Is this going to let the arrows go?

At this time, Mr. Kong stood up quickly. If this continues, the matter will be beyond control. Mr. Kong said, "Why do you have to make such a fuss over such a trivial matter?"

Cui Zhong roared angrily, "It's just such a trivial matter, his Xu family has repeatedly provoked my Cui family..."

Xu Changsheng also said angrily, "Cui Zhong, your Cui family didn't know how to repent when they died. Is it such a trivial matter? The lives of the people of Henan Province are such a trivial matter in your eyes? If it's not that you don't know the whereabouts of those bottles, I have already ordered someone to destroy your Cui family."

What?Everyone suddenly froze, the lives of the entire Henan people?Isn't it just talking about some glass bottles?

Xu Changsheng continued, "Cui Zhong, you don't want to tell everyone what old doctor Wen's glass bottles contain, so let old doctor Wen tell everyone in person."

All eyes were on old doctor Wen.

Doctor Wen's body was trembling, her eyes were red, she gritted her teeth, and then growled, "The bottle that the Cui family took away contains smallpox. Once it is opened, the entire Henan Province will be ruined. This is a disaster for the Cui family." And the world."

What?I was at a loss, and was so shocked that there was no sound, except for the sound of old doctor Wen crying bitterly.

"I have repeatedly come to ask the Cui family to return it, explaining the stakes, but the Cui family just won't listen, it's smallpox, how can the Cui family, how can... I'm guilty, even if I die a thousand times, I can't escape to blame."

Old doctor Wen may have been too excited. The long-term depression was finally released today, and he knelt down on the ground, crying bitterly.

That was smallpox, once it was released, he would be a sinner through the ages, he obviously wanted to make meritorious deeds and leave his name in history.

Heart-piercing sound.

But... Cui Zhong also said loudly, "Listen, what is he talking about, what kind of smallpox, he must be trying to frame my Cui family, isn't it just a few glass bottles, Xu Changsheng, what kind of tricks are you using? Use this thing that no one will believe to frame my Cui family."

Xu Changsheng sighed, "Patriarch Cui, you also admit that Imperial Physician Wen has repeatedly warned you that it contains smallpox, but you just don't want to hand it back the fact?"

Cui Zhong was a little excited, "He said yes? You bullied my Cui family. I will unite with the Shandong gentry tomorrow and tell everyone how you bullied my Cui family. Let you know that our Shandong gentry are not bullied by others." .”

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one thought that the matter would be so complicated, but who was telling the truth?

Xu Changsheng glanced at Cui Zhong, "The death of the Cui family is not a pity."

After finishing speaking, he ignored people, but looked at Mr. Kong, "For the sake of the people of Henan Province, I have to trouble Mr. Kong to stay here, sorry for the rudeness of the students."

Mr. Kong shivered for a moment. If what Xu Jiazi said was true, he would know the reason why everyone was not allowed to leave.

The whole scene was calm again, only old doctor Wen's sobbing voice remained.

Everyone is a little confused.

Xu Changsheng didn't talk to anyone anymore, he was waiting for his students to have a good rest, waiting for the dawn, and then proceeded to the next step.

Those Cui family guests were a little commotion, but no matter how much they asked, Xu Changsheng would not answer, so they could only look at Mr. Kong, because with the Xu family's attitude just now, only Mr. Kong's words would be listened to by the Xu family. .

Mr. Kong was also a little flustered, because in the letter Kong Jijiu sent back, the Xu family mentioned was not a person who liked to tell lies without evidence.

Mr. Kong frowned, and asked, "Xu Jiazi, I will ask a question for everyone, and then I will comfort them and wait quietly."

Xu Changsheng stood up, "Excuse me, old gentleman."

Mr. Kong looked at Xu Changsheng seriously, and said word by word, "What order did His Majesty give you?"

Regarding His Majesty's order, Xu Jiazi would not dare to lie. He asked this question in order to finalize it for everyone.

Xu Changsheng replied, "After your Majesty received the urgent document sent back by the old doctor Wen, he asked Changsheng to come to Henan Road to solve the Cui family's robbing of smallpox. If the smallpox has spread, Changsheng will be responsible for controlling the situation and reducing the damage to a minimum." lowest."

wow.

Everyone was shocked. Under the public view, the Xu family would definitely not dare to tamper with the holy will.

That is to say, even His Majesty admits that what is contained in that glass bottle is smallpox, otherwise why would Xu Jiazi specialize in solving this matter.

a mess.

"How is this possible, how could smallpox be artificially produced?"

"Let us out, we're getting out of here."

The scene became chaotic, and some people wanted to leave in horror.

The guards outside have all drawn their bows. They can't be soft, because once someone successfully breaks out, there will be a second one. They... can't bear this responsibility.

Xu Changsheng frowned and was about to say something when a sonorous voice came, "Quiet."

It was Mr. Kong, "Look at you, what do you look like? Do you still have the benevolence and morality of scholars? What are you doing now? Go home and harm your family, or where are you going?"

So people were shocked, yes, if what Xu Jiazi said was true, wouldn't they go home now...

Old Mr. Kong glanced at Xu Changsheng and sighed together, "I hope smallpox starts here and ends here."

Then he took the lead, sat cross-legged on the ground quietly, and said, "Xu Jiazi, tell me, how should we cooperate?"

Xu Changsheng couldn't help being respectful, and comforted, "You don't have to be too pessimistic, there is no doubt that there is smallpox in the glass bottle, but as long as it is not opened and spread, everyone will not be infected. I can let you go."

That is to say, it is necessary to confirm whether those glass bottles have been opened. No wonder Xu Jiazi kept asking Cui Zhong this question just now.

All eyes were on Cui Zhong.

Cui Zhong couldn't believe it, he just snatched a few glass bottles, why it happened like this, it must not be true.

Among the guests, there were quite a few who were at a loss for what to do with fear, but fortunately Mr. Kong comforted them, and they calmed down.

Mr. Kong said, "Cui Zhong, this is the end of the matter, let's...cooperate with the Xu family."

"No, it's impossible. Smallpox is a punishment from the heavens. How could it be contained in several glass bottles? I don't believe it. I haven't taken any glass bottles before."

Once it is implemented, their Cui family will have caused a catastrophe, and they cannot admit it no matter what.

Xu Changsheng said angrily, "Cui Zhong, are you joking with the lives of the entire Jiangnan people?"

The guest also said, "Patriarch Cui, you should tell Xu Jiazi quickly what happened to those bottles, so that Xu Jiazi can figure out a way."

They really died wronged, didn't they just come to the banquet?In the end, when they encountered this matter, they would find someone to reason with, but Cui Patriarch is still trying to hide it.

Xu Changsheng said, "Cui Zhong, are you still taking chances? Do you want to watch your Cui family die from smallpox?"

The Cui family also panicked.

Suddenly, a woman who looked like a nurse fell to the ground with a pale face.

Cui Chong said angrily, "Mother Wu, what are you doing?"

The woman's face turned pale, "Old...Master, the young master ran to your study today, and it seems that he broke one of the glass bottles... Just now, the young master suddenly developed a high fever and couldn't sleep."

"What?" Cui Zhong's face finally changed.

Why did Cui Zhong keep his mouth shut just now?Because although he didn't believe that the old doctor Wen said that the bottle contained smallpox, he was still a little scared, so the glass bottle has been kept in a hidden place in his study, shelved.

The faces of the guests were also pale, young master of the Cui family?It was the very loving young man who was running around at the banquet today. They were still surprised.
