"What's going on?" asked Prefect Fang.
Everyone wants to know what happened here.
"These six people sneaked into the various mansions late at night, sowing discord and asking our six families to sue the Second in Command for his reckless killing. We almost believed them, but fortunately, we went to the vaccination clinic and saw our children. If we had listened to them and sued the Second in Command, our six families would have been ungrateful and worse than pigs and dogs."
"They did this under the orders of the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince's actions are intended to make our six families become unkind and unjust."
After everyone ate the first wave of melons, the children and fathers of the six families appeared.
As they appeared before the crowd, Gu Fanzhi and Gu Pianran's hearts sank, especially Gu Pianran. She felt a strong sense of unease, as if all her actions were under her control.
Her uneasiness and worries gradually became reality.
"The six of us almost died in a conspiracy," said Wang Furao, the son of Mr. Wang.
"Yes." The little fat man echoed, "This story started five days ago."
Chen Qianqian continued, "Five days ago, a veiled woman was selling tea in front of us. I didn't want to drink it, but I felt sorry for her, so I softened my heart. I spent two cents and bought a bowl of water from her."
"It just so happened that this woman was only selling tea to the six of us. We hadn't noticed it until someone else brought it to our attention."
"We secretly followed the woman and discovered that the bowls of water she gave us were from Niu Dazhuang's home."
"Niu Dazhuang, I'm sure all the villagers know him. He was one of the first people to be infected with smallpox, and he died early."
The six people took turns, you said a sentence, I said a sentence, without any panic or confusion, so that the people outside could hear clearly.
"We all know that if someone uses utensils that have been infected with smallpox, they are likely to become infected if they are used by others."
"That woman actually gave us something that had been used by someone infected with smallpox? What was her intention?"
"We have no grudge against her, and we've never even met her. Why would she be so cruel as to infect us with a severe case of smallpox?"
"The only explanation is that the person she wants to deal with is not us, but the vaccination center."
"If the six of us had unfortunately died in the vaccination center, it would have caused panic and raised questions about the feasibility of vaccination."
"Her intention was to destroy the vaccination center, ruin the Second in Command's hard work, and also destroy the method of preventing smallpox."
"This woman is ruthless. And the person behind her is even more despicable."
After the six people finished speaking, the people outside the hall and the yamen runners inside were very angry and wanted to drag the woman out and beat her to death with sticks.
Wang Yuanwai stepped forward and said, "I believe all of you elders and fellow villagers understand. From that woman's appearance and setting up the scheme to the instigation of the Fourth Prince's men, what was all this all about? I don't need to explain it to you all; you all understand."
"This is why our six families are suing the Fourth Prince for his disregard for human life. Not only for our son, but also for the Second in Command and for the millions of people in Yanzhou. We must get an explanation," said the highly respected Elder Lin.
The people outside the hall were immediately outraged.
"Yes, Elder Lin is right. The Fourth Prince must give an explanation to the people of Yanzhou."
