Chapter 69: Holy Doctor's Bloody Disaster
This night is destined to be a long night.
There were originally more than 84,000 people outside the city, but after tonight, only more than 32,000 were left.
More than 52,000 civilians lost their lives. Looking around, the wasteland was filled with countless corpses. The situation was so miserable that they didn't even have the chance to be buried with their whole bodies.
The wasteland was silent at this time, but everyone knew that when the unconscious people woke up and saw their relatives and friends died, the suffering of the living had just begun.
Zhou Zhilu looked at the unfamiliar faces on the ground and wondered if they had done something wrong.
No, not really. If there is one thing that is wrong, it is that I was born in the wrong world.
What this world needs is strength. We must have enough strength to prevent tragedy from happening again!
Taking advantage of the night, the officers and soldiers on the field began to clean up the battlefield.
Fortunately, the phantom silkworms eaten by these people are basically in the stomach, so not everyone needs to use pupil technique to locate them.
You just need to use spiritual energy to force the phantom silkworms out of the stomach to save these survivors.
The exhausted Zhou Zhilu and those who could still use their spiritual energy joined the team to expel the Illusionary Silkworm.
During this time, Yu Qingkui and others also rushed over. Zhou Zhilu didn't say much after seeing them.
During the expulsion, Zhou Zhilu found Ling Qingxue.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Zhilu asked with a smile.
Ling Qingxue explained, "I was out on a mission when I suddenly received a message from my master saying you might be in trouble, so I rushed over."
Then he looked at Zhou Zhilu with a faint smile and asked, "How is it? Are you not too late?"
Zhou Zhilu smiled casually: "Just right."
Ling Qingxue glanced into the distance and sighed, "I just didn't expect this year's Saint Doctor's Day to turn out like this."
"Someone will pay the price for this, including that... Liao Bufan. I swear to catch him!"
As Zhou Zhilu said, the news of tens of thousands of deaths will soon shock the entire Song Dynasty.
Someone must pay the price and bear the anger of officials and people throughout the Song Dynasty.
When everyone returned to the city, they saw that the soldiers left behind in the city were on high alert, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
After asking, we found out that except for the Mo family and the Lu family who led people to provide support outside the city, the leaders of the Xiao family, the Wu family and other families in Jiangkang Prefecture were all beheaded.
Not only the person in charge, but also many of his managers were beheaded.
The prince was furious and ordered that this evil thief must be caught!
What was similar among the deceased was that a document with densely packed numbers was left in their houses.
That was the amount of silver they had embezzled, and their house was also looted.
Just when everyone thought the silver had been stolen, dozens of boxes full of silver were piled up in the lobby of the yamen.
There was a piece of paper on it, which read:
"Take it from the people and use it for the people. If you dare to steal it, I'll take your head!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhilu quickly turned his head to look at the team behind him, but Yu Qingkui and others were no longer among them.
the next day.
As Zhou Zhilu had expected, the wasteland outside the city was filled with cries. Some people were crying for their parents, lamenting the loss of their parents, while others could not bear the blow and went mad or committed suicide.
Zhou Zhilu stayed outside the city for a while and then hid back in the city.
The dead bodies all over the ground could not scare him, but the crying sounds from miles around almost defeated him.
Ye Jin, the Minister of Rites, could not bear the guilt in his heart and wanted to commit suicide, but he was rescued and taken back to the capital as a criminal.
Accompanying them were the owners of various medical clinics that had used inferior medicinal materials, as well as the surviving heads of powerful families, the prefect of Jiangkang Prefecture, and others.
As for the waiter and others who delivered the medicine soup to Zhou Zhilu, they had already died before anyone found them.
There are also evil insects in their bodies, which have already been controlled.
After everyone was taken away, the affairs of Jiangkang Mansion came to an end.
Dozens of boxes of silver were distributed to the remaining people, and the remaining clinics and doctors also began to treat the people.
When the news spread throughout the Song Dynasty, everyone was shocked. People called this disaster: The Blood Disaster of the Holy Doctor.
…
A month later.
At the Tianxiang Pavilion in the capital, Yun Li was still the one hosting the guests, but in addition to Zhou Zhilu, there was also Fusu.
"I heard that Miss Yu went out alone to do a mission again?" Yun Li asked with a smile.
"Yeah... I don't know what they are angry about, but they are not in a good mood when they see me." Zhou Zhilu said depressedly.
Yun Li laughed loudly and said, "I think she is so jealous that her eyes turn red. Hahaha, after all, Brother Zhou, you are now a sixth-rank Fuye Guard!
"Before the New Year, she was your senior leading you on missions, and now after the New Year, you're one level below her. How can I not be angry?"
Zhou Zhilu shook his head and smiled, then raised his glass and said, "If I had a choice, I would rather not have the opportunity to be promoted."
Yun Li also sighed, raised his glass and drank it all.
Since the incident in Jiangkang Prefecture ended a month ago, in addition to imposing severe punishments on many people, Zhou Zhilu and others were also rewarded.
The Mohist family and other powerful families paid a heavy price to save the head of the group, but any managers found to be corrupt were executed.
The prefect of Jiangkang Prefecture was dismissed from office for dereliction of duty and exiled to the frontier.
Ye Jin, the Minister of Rites, knew about the incident but did not report it, so he should have been executed. However, considering that he remained true to his original intention and worked hard to save the people afterwards, he was demoted to a remote county.
Upon hearing that the Fifth Prince had performed outstandingly this time and had been awarded a purple-gold crown with a dragon head by the Emperor, the Crown Prince was so angry that he flew into a rage in the palace.
