The county magistrate approached Chu Qingzhi, wiping off cold sweat, "Miss Chu, more and more people are infected with smallpox!"

Chu Qingzhi also suffered from headaches. The smallpox caused panic. Everyone ran for their lives and ran around. It was obvious that it was impossible, and they ran secretly. As a result, more and more people were infected, and the epidemic continued to intensify, making it difficult to control.

"Post up a notice to announce the six prescriptions, and at the same time tell everyone to return to their villages and homes immediately. If anyone who refuses to listen is caught, they will be imprisoned and sent to prison!"

Hearing Chu Qingzhi's steady and powerful words, the county magistrate took a deep breath and stood up. No matter what, he still had Chu Qingzhi to help her, "I'll do it right away."

As for the county magistrate, who had become Chu Qingzhi's follower unconsciously, he was able to do things very well. Three days later, Shuiyun County restored order and the epidemic was brought under control.

People in other counties also learned the management style of Shuiyun County, and the epidemic was quickly brought under effective control.

The only problem now is that five days have passed and there is still no news of "Ming".

Not only the emperor was looking for someone secretly, Tang Jinghong was also there, many people who had received Chu Qingzhi's favor, such as the queen, the prime minister, several generals, etc., were also looking for them, but without exception, there was no news.

There are now three scenarios that could explain this result...

The first type is that the opponent's power is greater than these people combined, which makes them unable to find anyone. The second type is that the opponent is not from Da Ling. The third is that her profile is too vague to find anyone who meets the criteria.

The possibility of the first kind is unlikely, and it is very likely to be the second or third kind.

If it's the second type, it's a big deal.

The other party is not a member of Da Ling, so it is deliberately doing it, deliberately sending the epidemic in their country to Da Ling to harm people, and if it is serious, it will lead to war between the two countries.

The current stable situation was achieved by countless people who spent countless efforts, and no one wanted to be caught in the flames of war again.

The truth must be found out.

Chu Qingzhi came to the county government office and checked the corpse again. Now it is not as simple as affecting her own business, but may cause Jinghong to go to the battlefield again, and countless people lose their homes. She has lived on this land for almost nine months, and she can't bear to watch it fall into the flames of war.

In the room, Chu Qingzhi examined each bone carefully, and soon she found out that the bones of the deceased were unevenly blackened under the light, indicating that he had signs of slight poisoning.

And the poison penetrated deep into the bones but didn't kill him, it can only be a situation, he has been exposed to this poison for a long time, but it doesn't kill him.

She picked up the bone and smelled it, her face sank slightly, and she had a certain guess in her heart.

She took out a knife and scraped some bone meal into the cup, dissolved it in water, poured a drop of concoction, and the water turned purple-blue.

really……

The deceased had smoked opium for a long time before the poison entered the bone marrow and penetrated deep into the body. Even if he did not die of smallpox, he would die of opium in the future.

As far as she knew, only Dongling had opium. If so, then the matter would be complicated!

Chu Qingzhi put her hands on the edge of the board, thinking in her mind...

After a while, she continued to check. On the bone, she found a very faint mark on the cheek bone of the deceased. Looking closely, it was a "fork".

Generally, people who have "cross" carved on their faces are serious criminals. If they are serious criminals, they should be beheaded. How can they survive and live a good life?

More and more mysteries emerged...

After that, Chu Qingzhi didn't find anything more, she temporarily stopped the inspection, and sent out the conclusion she just got by letter, asking everyone to find someone who met the new conditions.

Chu Qingzhi rubbed the center of her brows, she was already very tired after running around on the front line continuously and intensively.

Chu Qingning came over and helped Chu Qingzhi to sit on the stool, "Fifth Sister, I brought you soup to nourish your body, you can drink some."

"Okay." Chu Qingzhi didn't refuse, she had lost a few pounds during this period, she had to make up, otherwise she would be even more tired.

Fan Yuru came to the county government office and said concernedly, "Qing Zhi, you don't look very well, go back and sleep for a while?"

"I'll be back in a while." Chu Qingzhi nodded, "How do you feel? Do you still have a fever?"

"I didn't have a fever yesterday." Fan Yuru said gratefully, "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise my life might have been lost."

Chu Qingzhi showed smiles to several people, "We must cherish it in the future, it was finally rescued."

Fan Yuru nodded with a smile, "I will."

...

Chu Family Village.

Recently, baby parrots have been born one after another. Apart from being busy with the epidemic, Chu Qingzhi also has to take care of the baby parrots. Fortunately, Shuang'er and the parrot couple who secretly came to lay eggs are there to help, otherwise the baby parrots might have an accident.

Seeing Chu Qingzhi return to the room, Shuang'er quickly flew out of the nest, "They're all sleeping, they're all sleeping..."

Chu Qingzhi came to the window and looked at the little parrots in the nest, they were all full and sleeping obediently, she was a little relieved.

The parrot couple flew over, looking at Chu Qingzhi with bright eyes, as if they were begging for praise.

Chu Qingzhi was not stingy either, she gave each one a bit of spiritual power, "I'm going to rest for a while, you guys go and look at those little ones, and call me if you have anything."

Shuang'er called out happily, "Okay, okay..."

Chu Qingzhi lay on the bed, the breeze blew in slowly from the window, the white gauze curtains fluttered gently, against the vases of flowers in the room, the sun shone in, and there was a somewhat peaceful and beautiful feeling.

...

The epidemic is gradually improving, but there is still no news from "Ming".

A few days later, Chu Qingzhi suddenly received a letter from someone she had almost forgotten... Xing Jindong.

Xing Jindong once spent a hundred taels of silver to learn Q painting from Chu Qingzhi, but he went back before he finished.

The letter stated that "Ming" was probably his cousin Xing Jinming.

His cousin is a member of a certain force, and he is cruel and ruthless. An enemy once gave him cigarettes in order to retaliate against him, and he has since become addicted to cigarettes.

In order to smoke, he completely degenerated, and repeatedly intercepted and killed rich ladies and gentlemen.

He often walks by the river, so there is no one who does not get his shoes wet. Half a year ago, he went to intercept and kill him for smoking, but the master brought a martial arts master with him, so he was arrested.

The other party was an official lord. After he was arrested, he was immediately promoted to the court and sentenced to death, but on the way to execute the sentence, there was a heavy rainstorm, so he took the opportunity to run away, and he was never seen again later.

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, what was said in this letter was indeed similar to what she wrote in profile, but she didn't know Xing Jindong well, so is what he said believable?

Chu Qingzhi remained skeptical, but she still replied, "Which organization is Xing Jinming? What's the matter with the smoke? Has smallpox occurred in your Dongling?"

I wrote a letter and asked the people at the post station to deliver it. The eagle didn't know Xing Jindong, so he couldn't deliver the letter.
