Chapter 117



Qin Fang glanced at him and curled his lips: "Guess."

Captain Yang felt a little cold when he looked at him: "I can't guess." In fact, he didn't dare to guess the bad thing, that would be too disrespectful to the general.

Qin Fang was not a person who played word games. Captain Yang couldn't guess, so he said directly: "The stuff that knocked down that group of thieves must be good stuff, right?"

Captain Yang was embarrassed. The general actually carried such a third-rate thing with him, which was a knockout drug and a sleeping pill. How could he persuade him?

After putting the things away, Qin Fang glanced at him and said, "Take the remaining hares and pheasants away and return to the barracks. Also, be open and aboveboard in dealing with things and people. As long as you have a clear conscience, it's okay to use some low-level means." This is what Lord Du said. If we follow the gentleman's behavior in everything, there will be no villains in this world. What a gentleman does is the same as what a villain does, as long as they are doing the right thing.

Captain Yang was taught, and asked again: "Then won't you send someone to guard here?"

Qin Fang shook his head: "Wild animals are very sensitive to unfamiliar smells, especially since no one has been here for more than 20 years. Guarding here may not be fruitful. Moreover, our sudden appearance has aroused their vigilance. Besides, wild animals only go down the mountain in winter every year. Before that, everyone is safe, so there is no rush here. Before we judge the situation here, there is no need to send someone to guard it for the time being. Let's go. Maybe when we come here tomorrow morning, there will be clues left behind in these traps."

Captain Yang: "Yes... Everyone gather and withdraw."

Qin Fang blew a whistle, and Wu Shuai ran over. Qin Fang mounted his horse, drove away with a bang. "The general is back... The general is back..." The soldiers on the lookout were the first to discover it.

The soldiers on the lookout shouted, and the other soldiers became excited: "General, did they hunt?" "I can't see clearly." "I don't know if there will be meat to eat today." "We raise poultry in the barracks and manor, and we will have eggs to eat in three or four months." "This is all thanks to the general's wife." "That's right, the general's wife is really a good person." There are 100 soldiers standing guard in the barracks and manor every day, not only to watch the manor, but also to feed the chickens, ducks and pigs. Otherwise, relying on Niu Er, these poultry will starve to death. If we hire people, the military pay will be wasted, so it is good to use the soldiers flexibly. Although the 100 soldiers are in the manor every day, they have never been absent from training. They run along the thousand-acre manor every day, and the amount of training is not small. When Qin Fang and others approached, the soldiers ran out, looking at Qin Fang expectantly. Qin Fang and Tao Shan were the first to arrive, and Captain Yang was still running behind with his men. Everyone saw that there were quite a few pheasants and rabbits on Tao Shan's horse, but there were no big ones. How could these be enough for them to eat? Captain Lu came out and said, "General, are these pheasants and rabbits going to be cooked today?" Qin Fang said, "Wait a minute, Tao Shan will go to the government office to invite Doctor Li, and then invite another famous doctor in the county." Tao Shan was puzzled, but he didn't ask, "Yes." He immediately rode back to the city. Captain Lu was puzzled, "General, is Captain Yang injured?" Otherwise, why would they invite a doctor? Qin Fang said, "No. I suspect there is something wrong with the meat." Not only Captain Lu was puzzled, but the other soldiers were also puzzled, and they all looked at Qin Fang. Qin Fang explained: "Think about it, why don't the beasts in the Beast Mountain attack the county city in other seasons except winter? The beasts attack the county city in winter because there is no food, they want to eat, right?" A soldier said: "Yang County Magistrate and the people said so." Qin Fang said: "Then the question is, since the death of King Liang, no one has set foot in the Beast Mountain for more than 20 years. Even in winter, there are small animals in it. Will the beasts have no food? So, I thought at first that they don't eat small animals. The idea that the wild animals came down the mountain to attack the people of the county town for food is a bit untenable. Besides, they came down the mountain in winter because there was no food. This is what others said, but whether it is true or not, only beasts can speak. " Captain Lu: "But we can't understand the words of beasts." Qin Fang smiled: "That's easy, we will know tomorrow." If the hares in the traps were eaten, it means that there is no problem with the game, then the beasts attacked the county town in winter, it must not be because there is no food. Moreover, if the beasts attacked the county town in winter because there was no food, would there be food in other seasons? Therefore, it is still unreasonable for Qin Fang to say that the beasts came down the mountain to attack the county town because of food problems. When he went to ask the doctor, he naturally had to check whether there was any problem with the hares and pheasants. Captain Lu didn't know that Qin Fang had set a trap, but since Qin Fang said so, he waited to see the result tomorrow. Qin Fang was eighty percent sure that the game in the trap would be eaten. First, there were many wild animals in the Beast Mountain, and they would definitely crave the blood and fresh meat. Second, from the excrement of the wild animals at the foot of the Beast Mountain, it can be seen that there are often wild animals wandering at the foot of the mountain, so if the meat in the trap is discovered by them, it is impossible for them not to eat it. It's just... wild animals like to be in the jungle. There are no people in the area at the foot of the Beast Mountain, and it is not a jungle, there are no trees, and the road from the Beast Mountain to the county town is not short. It stands to reason that wild animals would not come down the mountain and walk such a long distance to the county town, unless they migrate. But no one has set foot in the Beast Mountain for more than 20 years. Such a good place, the wild animals certainly will not migrate. Moreover, it is strange that these wild animals attack the county town year after year. Combining all these doubts, Qin Fang concluded that it is not so simple for wild animals to attack the county town every winter. He thinks it is more likely to be human. Otherwise, the beasts would not be able to do such regular things. But, if it is human, who could it be? What is the other party's purpose? County Magistrate Yang also reported to the court about the beasts attacking the county town, but the court asked Yunxiang County to solve it by itself. From the perspective of the court, such a response is not wrong. If the court had to deal with wild animals in any place, what were the local officials doing? In other words, the court did not take wild animals seriously. Soon, Captain Yang came back with a hundred soldiers. The hundred soldiers were waiting for meat soup, but they saw the hare and rabbit thrown on the ground and not put into the pot. They were puzzled. Captain Yang said, "Why don't you put the game into the pot? Brothers can still have meat soup." Captain Lu said, "The general said that he wanted to invite a doctor to check it out." So the soldiers in the barracks began to wait for the doctor.

Doctor Li came very quickly, and he was accompanied by Doctor Yu from Yunxiang County.

The two came together in the carriage of the General's Mansion. They didn't know why they came to the East Suburbs Military Camp, but they thought that the East Suburbs Military Camp needed two doctors, maybe there were many injured or sick people, and one doctor couldn't handle it.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the East Suburbs Military Camp, they saw that the soldiers were all sitting on the ground. What was going on?

Tao Shan: "General, the doctor is here."

Doctor Li and Doctor Yu stepped forward and said, "Greetings, General."

Qin Fang nodded and pointed to the pheasants and rabbits on the side and said, "Here are some game, all brought from the Beast Mountain. Check if there is any problem with the game and if it is clean."

Doctor Li and Doctor Yu looked at each other. They were asked to check the game? Although they did not understand what General Qin meant, the two doctors checked it immediately.

The inspection of the game was quite quick. After the two doctors finished the inspection, they discussed for a while. Finally, Doctor Li said, "General, I, Doctor Yu and I all think that there is nothing wrong with these pheasants and rabbits. Judging from the blood, they are all clean, and there are no signs of poisoning."

Qin Fang: "So people can eat them?"

Doctor Li said, "Yes."

Qin Fang said, "Okay, you go back. Taoshan, give me the medical fee." Doctor Li is the court physician of the general's mansion. He has a fixed monthly salary and does not need to pay medical fees, but Doctor Yu does not.

Upon hearing that the general wanted to pay for the medical treatment, Doctor Yu immediately said, "No, no. The general's coming to Yunxiang County and defending the city for us ordinary people is already a gift from the court. It is my duty to do something for the general. I will not accept the medical treatment fee." It was just a small matter, he really did not want to accept the medical treatment fee, not just being polite.

Qin Fang insisted, "Take it."

Seeing him like this, Doctor Yu had no choice but to accept the medical treatment fee given by Tao Shan.

After the two doctors left, Qin Fang asked someone to take the pheasants and rabbits to the kitchen: "This is the game caught by the 100 soldiers today. Tonight is their feast. If the rest of you want to eat it, just wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow, another 100 people will be sent to accompany you."

"Yes."

After finishing the work in the barracks, Qin Fang returned to the general's mansion.

Yang Haiyan was waiting for Qin Fang. After Doctor Li came back, he told her about the military camp. Yang Haiyan was also puzzled. Why did Qin Fang ask Doctor Li to go and see the prey?

So when Qin Fang came, she asked curiously: "Husband, why did you ask Doctor Li to check which prey? Is there something wrong with those prey?"

Qin Fang washed up and sat at the dining table, waiting for the food to be served. Yang Haiyan asked: "He analyzed his thoughts. Yanyan, what do you think is the probability of human intervention?"

When Yang Haiyan heard Qin Fang think of human intervention, she felt that it was unlikely: "If it was human intervention, wouldn't it be taming? How could anyone be so powerful that he could control so many wild beasts in the Beast Mountain?" This world is a normal world, not a fantasy world.

Qin Fang said: "I also think it is unlikely, but other than that, I have no other ideas. Otherwise, it is unreasonable for wild beasts to attack the county city when there are abundant wild animals in the beast mountain, and it is every winter, so regular."
