C166 (2/2)

It was not until the incident last night that the weak body of the villagers could no longer hold on. Flames of anxiety burned in their hearts. It was freezing outside, and as soon as the internal and external troubles were brought to the surface, they naturally fell ill.

In ancient times, there were actually two types of plague. One was the plague caused by bacteria when the temperature was hot during the summer, and the other was the common cold during the cold winter.

Fleming, who had discovered penicillin at that time, was not yet born, and in the absence of antibiotics a small cold could kill, and the ancients feared nothing when they heard the word typhoid.

This time, the village chief could no longer listen to Scholar Huang's nonsense. The firewood Xiao Letian left for everyone was the lifesaver. ”Move, hurry up and move the firewood. Each family will need to move for three days. Whoever has a disease can move more. First heat up the house, then give the patient hot water to drink …”

Under the village chief's command, all of the villagers started moving. The adults and children braved the snow to move the firewood home, and a few quick people rushed into the Tanggu City to get a doctor.

The Little Wang Manor's situation was not isolated. Three unlucky villages suffered from a large scale typhoid fever, and people could not care about life and death anymore. The Scholar Huang's ban was completely thrown to the back of their minds.

Huang Liu received the news after lunch, he was so angry that he brought his butler and his servants over to scold, ”You unloyal commoners, how can you use the graciousness of your enemies? Do the thousands of years of education of saints go unnoticed? ”All of you, throw away your firewood …”

”Scholar Huang, open your eyes and take a look. There are so many patients in the village, what do you want us to do? You have to let us live at least, right? If what you say is good, why didn't you bring your family's firewood for us? ”

Scholar Huang was embarrassed. Since he was young, he had never been rolled up by anyone. He never thought that a smelly farm would actually dare to steal his land.

”What did you say?” Say that again … ” The flustered Huang Liu scolded loudly, ”Good, good, good, good. You guys are good, if you have the guts don't beg me for next year, if you have the guts don't ask your children to go to school …”

”Smelly fools, you guys actually dare to be rude to me. To be rude to me is to be rude to a saint. Just you wait …” Huang Liu left the village while cursing. On one hand, it was to be angry, but on the other hand, it was to be afraid of catching the epidemic situation in the village.

”Butler, send someone to burn the firewood tonight. Xiao Letian gave it to you, it isn't anything good …” The steward's face turned bitter when he heard this. ”Young Master, this, this, this is not good, right?” ”Since our village is in an epidemic, we should give them some hot water to drink …”

”Shut up! You even dare to disobey me? Are you going to rebel too... ”You go, tonight you will personally take someone with you. If you can't handle it, then don't go back to this house …” The butler was scolded by Huang Liu until he did not dare make a sound.

The spread of the plague was too fast. In just half a day's time, there were already more than 35 people who had a fever, and such a serious epidemic situation had caught even the doctors off guard. The doctors who were scared out of their wits opened up a bunch of herbs and ran away, as if they were afraid that they would be infected too.

The disease was getting worse. By the time the lanterns were lit at night, one hundred people in three villages were suffering from fever, and fear had already engulfed all the surrounding villages.

Huang Liu's butler sneaked into the Little Wang Manor at midnight. The unlucky butler brought the servant to walk around the pile of firewood outside the village while shaking his head and sighing, ”Don't blame me, I was also forced to do it. I really don't allow good people to live in this era!” With that, he waved his hand to have the servants start their attack.

The ocean fire was lit up, the dried leaves of the corn were set on fire, and quickly gathered into a few small fires. Using the wind as support, the remaining firewood was finally ignited.

However, just as the butler wanted to escape, a dozen odd white shadows suddenly flew out from the pile of snow behind them. A tiger's pounce had pushed them all down into the snow.

”We caught the arsonist, the thief who set the fire …” Quickly, people come from the village! ” The mournful shouts alarmed the entire village. When the people saw the butler trembling in fear, the people of Little Wang Manor were completely furious.

”Beat him to death, beat this beast to death. So it turned out to be your doing. It was all in vain that we thought you were a good person …” Kill him! ” The crowd rushed forward to attack, but the strange white shadows stopped.

”My fellow villagers, we are the guards of the Letian Firm, it was Master Xiao Letian who sent us to protect you all … ”These bastards can't be taken advantage of. We have to report them to the authorities, let the officials handle them …”

The white shadow was that of a protector wearing a white snow camouflage uniform. With the support of Wang Huaiyuan's intelligence, they were able to easily spy on Huang Liu's every move.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the arsonist was escorted by villagers and guards to The yamen of the same knowledge. Zhou Mingkui used an unprecedented efficiency to start his interrogation, and that same night, he obtained the confession letter.

”Mr. Xiao has admitted it, those people have confessed, Huang Liu is the source of all the rumors, 90% of the rumors in our Industrial Zones were made up by that brat.” Zhou Mingkui carried the confession letter and brought it all to Xiao Letian's house, as if he was offering treasures. At this time, Xiao Letian was still awake, he had been holding a secret meeting in his study.

”Good job, with the confession, we can make an example of them. We'll show the citizens of Tanggu the face of these scholars, and we'll see what kind of appearance we have now!” ”It's done, it's done …”
