Phoenix dwelling in Yanzhou

Chapter 207

"Dangdang!"

The white porcelain medicinal cup fell to the ground, the brown juice spilled all over the ground, and the bitter and astringent medicinal smell spread out.

"Niang Niang..." Jun Nian still had warm medicine in his hand, "Are you joking?"

Su Qian handed the letter in front of her, and only said: "Go."

"You want Lord Duan to kill the patients here? Kill... you?!" Jun Nian's eyes were full of disbelief.

People are afraid of death!She didn't believe that Su Qian actually ordered her to be killed? !

"Isn't your mother afraid of death?" Jun Nian asked the doubts in his heart.

"I'm afraid," Su Qian smiled wryly, and then began to cough again.

Coughing violently, heart-piercing, Bai Jin covered her lips, dazzling red fell on it, like red plums falling into snow.

Su Qian looked at the blood on the handkerchief and showed a helpless wry smile, "I don't want to die, but... I know that the epidemic has already started outside the hospital..."

"..." Jun Nian's lips moved, but it was stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Miss Jun, do you know how many people are there outside the sick house?"

Ningfeng is a big city, the capital of Yanzhou.

"In Ningfeng City, there are 13 million people." Jun Nian replied.

"Yes," Su Qian said with a smile while looking out the window. "13 Li people, 13 lives, once the epidemic is out of control, many people will die."

"But..." Jun Nian argued, "The epidemic will not necessarily get out of control."

"But it has begun to get out of control. People infected with the epidemic have already begun to appear in Ningfeng City. In the great epidemic in the last year of the previous dynasty, more than [-] people died from various sects, and there were many poor people who could not be buried. After the disaster, , the people starved to death for thousands of miles..."

It was also that disaster that indirectly led to the demise of the previous dynasty, the fall of the entire Central Plains, and a dark period of decades.

A few words in the history books are followed by the white bones of more than a million people!

"So? For Ning Feng's people... are you going to die?" Jun Nian looked at Su Qian's weak body, with complicated and tangled expressions in his eyes... It seemed that something was broken.

"Is it worth it?" Jun Nian asked Su Qian, "Is it worth dying for those people you don't even know?"

"It's not worth it, some things...someone has to do it." Su Qian handed the edict to Jun Nian again, "Go, your sweetheart is still waiting for you outside."

Jun Nian looked at the letter in Su Qian's hand that determined everyone's life and death. In his mind, that bloody night, the village that was burned to the ground...

"Why do you decide their life and death?" The voice was as light as a mosquito moan, tightly suppressing something.

"What?" Su Qian was puzzled, but saw that the girl in front of her lowered her head and tightly clenched her fists, her body was so tight that she was trembling all over.

"Why do you decide their life and death?!" Jun Nian raised his head and looked at Su Qian, his eyes were full of ferocious red, and the resentment was almost overflowing. "The 13 people in Ningfeng City are the people, so the dozens of people in this sickness workshop are not human lives?! Why should we sacrifice the lives of these innocent people in order to let others live? Why? ?!"

"In order to let more people live..."

"Don't tell me these great truths!" Jun Nian was like a little beast in a desperate situation, screaming at Su Qian with red eyes, "The people in Ningfeng City are innocent, so should these sick people deserve to die? They are just sick Yes! So is there an unforgivable crime? Should they be abandoned and killed? Princess Yan, they are also the people of Yanzhou!"

The scorched land that was slaughtered in his memory seemed like yesterday, and Jun Nian even felt that he could still smell the scorched and bloody smell in the air.

His face was so wet that Jun Nian knew that he was crying.

"They are indeed innocent, but dozens of innocent lives, and the lives of 10,000+ people on the other side...someone has to make a choice."

"So...you did the same thing back then. You made a choice and ordered the slaughter of Zansu Village?"

Hearing the words "Zanfu Village", Su Qian thought for a moment, looked at Jun Nian, and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

"Who is it?" Jun Nian smiled coolly, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face. "My father's name is Li Yan, and my mother's name is Luo Yun. They are the doctors of Zansu Village, the Zansu Village that you ordered to be slaughtered and burned."

"You are from Zansu Village..."

"Yes, I am a survivor of Zansu Village, and I came from Zansu Village." In the girl's eyes, there was deep hatred. "Princess Yan, I'm here to beg for your life!"

Su Qian did not expect that there were still survivors in the village that was infected with the epidemic back then.

The room was suffocatingly quiet. After a while, Su Qian asked, "You did this plague?"

Su Qian thought of Jing Sheng's bowl of medicine soup, and Jing Sheng said that Jun Nian taught her how to make it.

A smile rose on Jun Nian's face, "It feels like being poisoned by the person you love the most, okay?"

There was a cold look in Su Qian's eyes, this person used Jing Sheng!

If Jing Sheng knew that this time it was all because of her bowl of medicinal soup, she would be sad.

"You have been taking care of me in the sickness workshop these days. If you want our company, it should be easy, right?" Su Qian looked at the girl who threatened to kill her, "Why didn't you do it?"

"I don't want you to die too quickly! You should taste the feeling of the people in Zansu Village back then, the feeling of waiting to die!"

While being tormented by the disease, he also has to bear the feeling of despair and helplessness. Jun Nian wants Su Qian to experience this feeling too.

On the other side, Prince Yan's Mansion.

The desk was full of various files, Jing Sheng looked at those files, her brows were frowned.

Before Su Qian asked her to investigate the source of the epidemic, saying that it might be man-made, everyone knew it was Su Qian's excuse not to let Jing Sheng go to the hospital.

Unexpectedly, Jing Sheng really found out something.

The reason why Chuanshi is called Chuanshi is because the disease originates from the transmission of the corpse's breath, so the name Chuanshi comes from.

That is to say, the dead body of this disease is the biggest source of infection after death, and the dead body must be burned and buried in time to ensure that the disease will not spread.

But recently, a shocking case happened in the west of the city.In one family, the old man died of illness.Because he was extremely afraid of fire during his lifetime, he requested cremation before his death, but the imperial court issued a decree that those who died of the epidemic must be cremated.And the sons and daughters of this family are foolish and filial, in order to realize the last wish of the old man.He tricked the neighbor's stupid son, poured a lot of alcohol on him, and after he died of drunkenness, he put him into a pre-prepared coffin, sealed the coffin with nails and killed him, and finally cremated him instead of the old man.

In the end, the matter came to light because the family wanted to bury the real old man quietly in the middle of the night after the fool was cremated, and was seen by the neighbor's old mother, who was in a trance because of her son's disappearance and couldn't sleep.

Those who participated in the murder were sentenced to be hanged.

But there was one thing that caught Jing Sheng's attention.

The body of the old man who died of illness was hidden at home for many days, but it did not cause the disease to spread.

That is to say, what Su Qian said may be true.

This disease... Maybe it's not a dead body!
