"this……"
Liu Meng was at a loss. Isn't the point of this... question to expose the hypocrisy of the great philanthropist?
"No?" Su Sijin raised an eyebrow. "When will this person change his bad habit of believing everything he hears?"
Liu Meng expressed his dissatisfaction, asking how could he believe everything he heard.
The county magistrate exposed the man's hypocritical mask and eliminated the most vicious person for Zhushan County. Isn't this a great achievement?
But... I haven't heard of any victims receiving compensation or restitution.
No merchants or farmers went to the county government to demand the return of their fertile land and shops that had been encroached upon.
But... the night watchman saw that some people were carrying boxes of things to the county magistrate's yard.
Su Sijin caught the suspicion in Liu Meng's eyes, and then she gave him a strong dose of medicine.
"How can the new county magistrate, having just taken office, know all the evil deeds of this great and kind man?"
"The evidence is solid. This great man has committed numerous crimes. Doesn't it take time to collect evidence?"
Liu Meng was shocked. After listening to the two people's analysis, it seemed...not normal.
Seeing that he was still suspicious, Su Sijin wanted to go up and cut open his head to see if it was filled with pig manure.
Poor good man, he had been a goody-goody for decades, but in the end his reputation was ruined, his property was taken away, and he didn't have a good end.
A little bit of rice is a favor, but a big bit of rice is resentful. This is a living example.
Those who are kind-hearted without asking for anything in return and allow others to take whatever they want, will have their appetites pampered, their minds blinded by greed, and their consciences numbed.
Lu Changgong looked at the angry Su Sijin. He looked indifferent, but the corners of his eyes raised slightly, and his ink-black eyes became even deeper.
Su Sijin was very upset, but she would rather embarrass others than herself, so she cursed:
"Seeing isn't always believing. How can decades of kindness be faked? Lard is still on the lips and yet you're already complaining that the host of the offerings isn't giving enough."
"Don't you have brains? Don't you have any perception? Has your conscience been eaten by jackals? Or are you just jealous of the rich and can't stand seeing them get richer?"
She was so angry, and what made her even angrier was that nice guy.
Can you become an immortal if you are praised as a "good man"?
Could it be that I have lost myself in the hypocrisy and fawning of others?
"I……"
Liu Meng was speechless.
"You...what do you mean? Did I say something wrong?" Su Sijin, who had suppressed her anger with great difficulty, was irritated by his hesitation.
Lu Changgong took a step forward, blocking Su Sijin behind him, and asked coldly:
"Let me ask you, when did you start setting up checkpoints here? Are you stopping people indiscriminately? Or were there specific people you were ordered to stop?"
This didn't bother Liu Meng. "I just took over the task of intercepting the person passing through Yuan'an County today. The county magistrate had assigned him to other tasks before."
"I think this checkpoint was set up two or three days after the county magistrate arrived. I'm not sure exactly."
Tang Peng lost his patience with their words. He felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long and he had to leave quickly, so he discussed it with Liu Meng.
"Although our route passes through Yuan'an County, we went around the mountains and no one was infected. So, can you let me pass?"
Liu Meng said embarrassedly, "I can't make the decision on this matter. If any of you get sick, I won't have enough heads to chop off."
"As someone who works for the imperial court, Tang Jieren should understand the helplessness of being forced to do things against one's will."
When Tang Peng was about to struggle with Liu Meng, he was interrupted by a sudden sharp and terrified cry.
"Ah...Boss, boss, what's wrong with you?"
It was this one sentence that made the crowd scatter like birds, and everyone fled in fear.
But Liu Meng reacted quickly and ordered other officers to surround them.
Su Sijin raised her voice and ordered, "Everyone, stand still. Stand still in your respective teams. Don't run around, don't scare away, and don't contact people outside your team."
Su Sijin raised her eyes to look at Tang Peng and ordered in an orderly manner, "Tang Jieren, count our people and go over there first."
"Liu Meng, first mark out several areas, dividing them by village and team, just in case."
Liu Meng nodded and began to make arrangements.
Su Sijin warned Zheng Jie, Shen Tingyun, and especially Lu Changming, "Remember what I said. Disinfect first, then drink some Atractylodes water. Even when you are with your own people, don't expose your mouth and nose."
"Don't even bother with anyone. I'll ask your eldest brother to bring you some food later."
"Second brother, you are the most irritable and impulsive. You get easily provoked. At a moment like this, please don't act rashly. The safety of our family is in your and Third Brother's hands."
"Sister-in-law, I'm scared." Xiao Qiuling hugged Su Sijin tightly in fear.
After Su Sijin comforted her, Lu Changming and the others left and walked towards the woman who was screaming in despair.
Lu Changgong grabbed her hand and said hoarsely, "Ajin, don't go. I don't want you to get into any trouble."
Su Sijin stroked the back of his hand, patted it a few times and comforted him, "Lu Changgong, I'll go over and take a look. If he really has the plague, I probably know what kind of plague it is."
"But I have to go there and confirm it before I can draw any conclusions. If it is really as I suspect, I have a way to overcome it."
"This disease is highly contagious and is killing people at an alarming rate. As a doctor, how can I stand by and watch?"
Su Sijin raised her eyes to meet his worried and frightened eyes, and saw his deep heartache. She whispered to comfort him: "You should know that I have... How could I, a person so afraid of death, put myself in danger?"
Lu Changgong knew that once Su Sijin made up her mind, no one could make her change her mind.
So he took her hand and led her away, "I'll go with you."
Life and death, good and bad, he just wanted to be with her.
Su Sijin smiled sweetly in response, and the two of them walked towards the man.
Su Sijin armed herself fully and warned, "Lu Changgong, don't argue with me. I must be in close contact with the patient. I need you to do things for me outside."
Without waiting for Lu Changgong to answer, Su Sijin came to the man and scanned his body with her eyes. She found that his internal organs were broken and all rotten, and his heart was not beating.
Su Sijin told the woman the truth, "He's dead, please accept my condolences."
When the woman heard this, she immediately threw herself on the man, crying and beating him, complaining about his ruthlessness.
Su Sijin wanted to ask the woman about the man's symptoms, but the woman had already lost all her rationality.
Su Sijin got some of the man's blood. There was already a laboratory in the space, and she could quickly test whether it was as she guessed.
That night.
The round moon hangs high in the sky, like a bright mirror, and the white moonlight is scattered on the ground, as if covered with a layer of gauze.
I saw a few sneaky shadows throwing something onto the wall and the grass.
The rustling sound and the pungent smell woke up Liu Meng who was on duty.
When he followed the sound and saw the sneaky figures, he shouted, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
As Liu Meng spoke, the burning branches fell from the sky.
"boom!"
In an instant, the dry branches and the fuel oil caused the fire to spread like a tsunami.
