94. Now that you meet her, you have to pay the price

At this time, the county magistrate of Ancheng, hearing his master reporting to him the situation in the city, felt impatient in his heart and waved his hand.

"From now on, the situation in the city will no longer be reported to me. Let the local officials in the city go to the rescue. I will be transferred in a few days. The life and death of the people in this city has nothing to do with me. You can take care of yourself. Don't do it."

You are infected with the plague, otherwise I would not take you away."

When the master heard what the magistrate said, he was not surprised and said quickly: "Thanks to the magistrate's appreciation, I will take good care of myself and never let myself get sick. I also ask the magistrate to take me with me when I leave."

My whole family will leave together."

Seeing that these words made the master obedient, the county magistrate couldn't help but feel satisfied, and then he said again: "Are the city gates well guarded? I must not let anyone run outside and ruin my future!"

But he already had a plan in his heart. When he left, it would be the day he parted ways with this master.

This master is out there dealing with local officials and people on his behalf every day, so he must be at risk of contracting the disease. If he were to be taken away at that time, wouldn’t he also be in trouble for himself?

Now calm his mind and let him do things for him. When he receives the transfer documents, he will not bring such a burden to himself.

The master didn't know what the magistrate was thinking, so he replied loyally: "There were two people outside the city gate who were infected with the plague. Maybe they met the doorknob that someone in the city had touched. The two of them lingered outside for a few times.

Tian is also infected, I wonder if we should let them enter the city and burn it?"

When the county magistrate heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "Of course I will drag them into the city and burn them. If I let them take the disease to other places, wouldn't it be the end of me? Hurry up, hurry up and get those two

Pull them into the city personally and burn them!"

The master immediately hesitated: "But there are not only the two of them outside the city, but also a group of guards escorting the exiled prisoners. They seem to have noticed that our city is infected with the plague, and they are afraid that they will also be infected and become the source of the plague in other places, and their homes will be confiscated.

genocide,

Therefore, we are waiting outside to observe our condition. If we only bring those two people into the county, we are afraid that they will break into the city in order to obtain medicinal materials. Then we will not be able to detain them and not allow them to leave the city..."

The county magistrate suddenly sneered sinisterly: "This group of exiled prisoners and guards happened to catch up at this time, so we can only make them think they are unlucky, and let some of them get in and out!

Anyway, they will arrive a few days late, so we will say that we did not receive them into the city, and they might have died on the way, thus completely shirking the responsibility!"

Ying Bao, who heard the magistrate's words in the space, couldn't help but sneer.

This magistrate’s plan was so clever that he didn’t even let the exiled prisoners pass by!

Forget it, the county magistrate did nothing during the outbreak of the plague, not letting the people come out to seek survival, and wanted to lock them in the city to fend for themselves.

And he himself collected medicinal materials that could fight the plague, and when the transfer documents arrived, he could escape unscathed.

As for the life and death of the people, it will naturally have nothing to do with him once he is transferred.

It's a pity that if he hadn't met her, perhaps the county magistrate would have been satisfied.

Now that he has met her, he must make the county magistrate pay the price!

She heard the county magistrate explain to the master again that when he asked the master to take the two children into the city, he lied to the boss of the exile team, Zhang, and made him think that their county had informed the court about the febrile disease.

The secret can be kept.

Ying Bao couldn't help but chuckle to herself again. She would definitely help him spread this secret!

Thinking like this, Ying Bao immediately took pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his own space and began to write a letter to inform Ancheng of the situation affected by the plague.

After she finished writing the letter, the county magistrate also finished giving instructions to the master and asked him to do it quickly.

As soon as the master left, he immediately asked people to cook a soup to prevent plague for himself to drink, and also asked people to boil the soup for himself to take a bath.

His wife came in and asked him worriedly: "Master, do you really want to take that master with you?"

The county magistrate looked proud: "Of course I won't take him away with me. He is working for me outside every day now, and he can't have soup and medicine to prevent it like us every day. Sooner or later, he will definitely be infected with the plague."

Yes, if he is taken away with us, wouldn’t we have no peace?”

Hearing the words of the county magistrate, his wife relaxed and said, "That's good. I was worried that you thought he was capable and were reluctant to keep him!"

The county magistrate was full of pride: "Now in Ancheng, our family is the only one who has medicine to prevent it. We don't have to worry about being threatened by this epidemic. How can I carry this threat with me?"

The county magistrate's wife immediately praised her husband: "It was my wise master who collected all the medicinal materials from all the pharmacies in Ancheng. This made our family's medicine storehouse rich and abundant, and we can drink these medicines for three meals a day."

As a precaution, otherwise our county magistrate’s office may also suffer.”

When the two were feeling proud, suddenly a steward from the mansion came to report.

"My lord and madam, a leaf of medicinal herbs from Fukuli

There’s none left!”

Hearing this, the couple were just glad to have stocked up on medicinal materials, but now their expressions changed.

"There is not a single leaf left. How is it possible? I have collected all the medicinal materials from all the medical clinics in Ancheng, and also put the medicinal materials collected in the mountains into the warehouse. How is it possible that there is no medicine now?

Where is it?"

The steward who came to report was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "Master and madam, you'd better go and take a look. Not only these medicinal materials, but also other things in the house and the storehouse have been stolen! Especially those you bought from before.

Several boxes of gold and silver made by local merchants were also looted!"

"What? What kind of thief dared to steal from us!" The county magistrate and his wife immediately exploded: "Everyone in these cities is infected by the plague, like a corncrake, but they can still have this

He was so talented that he stole the medicinal materials and gold and silver from our county magistrate's office?"

As the two of them talked, they hurried to the Fuku to take a look. Sure enough, they saw that the Fuku was completely empty, with not even a dregs of medicine left to prevent the plague.

All the gold and silver collected before were now gone.

The county magistrate's wife immediately couldn't bear the blow and fainted to the ground.

The county magistrate, on the other hand, was deeply concerned about the top secret and asked people to investigate quickly to find out which thief stole the things from their house.

At this time, Ying Bao had no intention of staying to watch the magistrate's jokes.

Seeing that the master had already left the gate of the county magistrate's house, he followed him out and did not stay to watch. The county magistrate's house was in a panic after discovering that all the medicinal materials at home were gone.

If she had stayed a little longer and seen the reactions of the magistrate and his wife who fainted with anger, she might have felt a little better.

It's just that she has something serious to do now!
