The long needle in He Mulan's hand did not dare to relax at all, and her eyes kept looking at the two Yuan brothers. This situation was better than she expected, and it was almost like a blessing from God.
But Yuan Hua's broken body and Yuan Fang's stubborn temper made He Mulan both worried and anxious. At this time, she couldn't care how Yuan Fang in her hand would hate her, so she urged Yuan Hua.
"Master Yuan, to be honest, several patients with the same symptoms as you have been found in the north of Chenjun. Several towns and villages have been blocked because of this incident, and everyone is afraid. The plague is not a country. If it weren't for the purpose of finding out the origin of the plague, we would not have come here..."
She pointed to Kou Yizhi: "He is indeed a Taoist priest of the Kou family, and Kou Tianshi is his grandfather. Although I am not good at curing diseases, I happen to have some understanding of your plague and can help him. If you two brothers are good-natured Before you die, Kou Yizhi and I will do our best to heal you and never break your promise."
When Yuan Fang heard He Mulan's words, his eyes widened as if a drowning man had suddenly lost a piece of wood, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"I don't count on healing."
Yuan Hua had a wry smile on his bruised face, "This matter, huh, this matter... It's a long story, I really don't have the strength. Ah Fang, tell me. You probably know better than me. more?"
When he said this, Yuan Hua's face was full of sadness. Obviously, the other party would know more than him, and it was a very sad thing for him.
When Yuan Fang heard Yuan Hua's request, he did not rush to do so, and instead asked He Mulan and Kou Yizhi, "You said that you came here to investigate the plague, so you are people in the government? Great Wei is Zhengshuo, then you are the officials of Wei State..."
Yuan Fang's face showed an expression of trying to think, "You didn't happen to find out that my brother is sick, I'm afraid you have already noticed the Yuan family. No, it should be said that you suspected the Yuan family from the beginning, so you came directly. Xiang Cheng. My brother was sick for only three or four days, and I didn't seek medical treatment for two days. How can you get news so quickly. You...you came here to deal with the Yuan family..."
There was anxiety on his face.
"Are you deceiving people? You've always been eyeing the Yuan family. No matter if there is my brother's illness or not, I'm afraid you won't spare us. Even so, it doesn't matter if you kill or cut..."
"A Fang, A Fang!" Yuan Hua coughed and called his brother twice. "Can we really resist the calculations of the two countries with one fortress? If we can't resist, what's the difference between deceiving you or not? Don't be afraid, don't panic, brother is here! Calm down!"
After Yuan Hua finished speaking a long series of sentences, he could hardly breathe, and he was so soft that he lay on the bed, making a disgusting vomit.
He Mulan didn't say much, just put away the long needle in his hand and inserted it back into his hair.
"You... you don't..."
Yuan Fang looked up at the vicious Taoist priest.
"If I really kill you, you won't survive in the blink of an eye." He Mulan grabbed a small table and kneaded the legs into powder with her hands.
"Tell me, as your brother said, you don't have much room now. If the main messenger is not you, maybe there may be a little bit of life."
Yuan Fang fell to the ground and looked up at the tall and thin man standing in front of him. He only felt that he was pulverizing his wooden legs into powder like a god. For a time, Yuan Fang was actually dyed by this chilling atmosphere. , said involuntarily:
"Since a year ago, the suzerain of our Yuan family, our father, has been secretly carrying out a major event..."
He swallowed, his voice so loud that He Mulan could hear it clearly from a few steps away.
"My family, the Yuan clan of Chen Jun, has been a big clan since the Han Dynasty. After Song Guoli, my father understood the importance of changing the family, so he tried his best to befriend the powerful officials and clan of the Song country, and finally spent a huge sum of money eight years ago. The emperor's Liu Yifu bought a marquis and a real vacancy. From then on, the children of the family can go out to work in the shadows, and it can be regarded as a future for our brothers. Who would have guessed that before the marquis was seated, Liu Yifu was killed, and then the court In the chaos, the state of Wei went south, the three states were captured, and my Yuan family was caught between the two countries, and when the overall situation was set, the Yuan family almost lost their wife and lost their troops, and their strength was severely damaged..."
"At this time, the new emperor of the Song Kingdom has ascended the throne, and my father is trying to contact the new emperor's forces. If the lordship still counts, we prepare our family to cross the river to the Song country at great risk. Unfortunately, the strength of my Yuan family has been greatly reduced, and they won. This side has long been cheap in my Yuan family, and now when we are conferring heroes, naturally there is no place for our Yuan family, like an abandoned son, my father gave up this idea and only tried his best to manage Wubi, wanting to reply. previous strength."
Yuan Fang laughed and said: "The Yuan family can last for hundreds of years, how can a family like the Liu family who rose up and conquered the world can understand. However, after a few years of effort, the Yuan family returned to most of the previous situation. At this time, Song Guo remembered us again. First, they were seduced by the title and fame, and then they took out the letter from my father who contacted Song Guo's officials, which turned into evidence that they had access to foreign countries. The family has just established a firm foothold, and the young emperor of the Wei state is extremely fierce, how could my father dare to take such a risk, so he can only try to deal with it to protect himself."
"I'm afraid it's still for profit and fame." He Mulan snorted coldly, "If you really want to tell the court, it's not necessarily the Yuan family's bad luck."
"There are thousands of households on the walls of the Yuan family, so you have to be careful. Even if it's for money, it's nothing." Yuan Fang pouted in disapproval: "Wei didn't do us any favors, and we don't need to be loyal. If it wasn't for our Yuan family who surrendered first, Chen Jun still doesn't know how long the chaos will last."
He Mulan ignored him, and Yuan Fang didn't make fun of himself, and continued: "My father was coerced and lured there, and his temper gradually became weird. He only took Yuan Jia Wubi in his heart, and outsiders were very wary. Later, once, About a year ago, someone from Song seemed to be caught by the Wei people. Song Di panicked and warned my father to be prepared. , I am afraid that there will be an army going south soon, and it is impossible to say that all the Wubao in the south will suffer, and the Yuan family will be the first family to be razed..."
"No matter how strong my Yuan family is, it cannot be compared with the power of the whole country, especially the two largest countries in the world."
Yuan Fang raised his eyes and looked at He Mulan, and found that she had no expression, and continued:
"About a year ago, my father accidentally discovered that there was an epidemic in a certain place. The Han people did not die much from the disease, but the local Hu people almost died, and the living people fled to other places in panic..."
"Ah, you mean Liu Lin's pox!"
Kou Yizhi probably knew about this, and immediately exclaimed.
He Mulan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and he was almost untenable.
"My father thinks this must not be a coincidence. There must be some sick Han people who are easy to resist, but Hu people will die of illness. Everyone knows that most of the Wei people are from Xianbei, at least some mixed Hu, but there are very few Han people, so As soon as my father found out about this situation, he immediately came up with an idea..."
Kou Yizhi's eyes widened in shock.
"This this… "
"You guessed it too, didn't you?" Yuan Fang smiled bitterly: "If there is a disease, the Han people do not have much trouble, but all the Hu people will die, then no Xianbei people will dare to go south. And those who suffer from pox disease The Han Chinese never suffered from pox again. Does this mean that this disease is a weapon given to the Han people by God? My father thought so, so he wanted to try out several such diseases and find a kind of attack. The most powerful, the fastest to kill..."
"In the current world, it's easy to catch a few idlers, not to mention the fact that the Xia Kingdom was in chaos not long ago, and there were refugees everywhere. My Yuan family's caravan walked around and brought some goods back, and no one would find out. ."
Yuan Fang was in charge of the caravan, so when Yuan Hua hadn't noticed what his father was doing, Yuan Fang had already been keenly aware of his father's actions.
"My father is trying such a terrifying thing, and it is impossible to do it with the strength of the Yuan family alone. In fact, my father's speculation will intensify, and it is also related to the persecution of the other side. When my father found that kind of disease, he immediately felt this It can be used to defend against the army going south, because no army dares to march in a place full of epidemics. Unfortunately, people who have suffered from pox will not regenerate. My father did not try any results, so he had to try other diseases, preparation is the key to cause confusion when it comes to self-preservation.”
Yuan Fang wiped his face.
"At the beginning, my father was afraid that he only wanted to protect himself. As for why he couldn't control it later, it was all because the Yuan family mixed into Song's detailed work. My father began to rob the refugees for medical examination, and Liu Song also learned about him. After knowing what my father was doing, King Pengcheng of Song started to help my father and sent many famous doctors from Song."
"In the beginning, it was in Chen County. Later, there were many missing people in Chen County. My father was worried about being discovered, so he went to look further afield. Most of them were looking for people who were lonely and homeless, and some were single and looted. Here it comes. My father has some tricks in various places, and later, there is no need for the Yuan family to arrest them, and someone will send these people to their door for money. "
He Mulan forced herself to suppress the urge to kill, gritted her teeth and continued to listen.
Now she is listening to the ugliest and most shameless crimes in the world, almost no less than the terrible wars of later generations.
The most terrifying thing is that the head of the Yuan family is just for a guess, and pinned his hope of "returning the Central Plains" on this unreliable guess.
This is not only a lunatic, but a lunatic!
Yuan Fang smiled bitterly: "I know you must have scolded the eighteenth generation of our ancestors in your heart. When I found out about this, I was absolutely as shocked as you were."
"You don't know the situation of the Yuan family. In the sect, the suzerain is everything. My father has been the head of the family for decades. After several changes in the Song and Wei countries, many aristocratic families have been wiped out, but my father can To keep the Yuan family standing, its prestige and means have reached an unparalleled level. Even if my brother and I did something wrong, it is common to whip dozens of whips in front of everyone. I don't know, even if we knew, we wouldn't dare to interfere in my father's affairs..."
Bang!
He Mulan "fanned" a few legs again.
He glanced at Yuan Hua: "My brother is upright and honest, and my father didn't want him to know about this from the beginning to the end, until later..."
Yuan Hua closed his eyes in pain, as if he didn't want to listen.
"After there are enough people who get sick, we have to try which kind of disease is easier for people to get sick and more likely to die. When trying this, the most people die..."
"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"
Yuan Fang didn't seem to be willing to bring it up either, so he hurried over after muttering a few times.
"With more people dying, the speed of VIPs has become more frequent. The officials in Yuzhou seem to be aware of it, and they are starting to get more and more difficult to get hands on. Especially in Qinzhou, they are almost unable to catch the Hu people who have been singled out..."
"At that time, the Xia kingdom was just broken, and Rouran was also destroyed. Many Rouran and Xia's women became slaves, and the defeated soldiers and traffickers bought and sold everywhere. The Hu people had no household registration, and the broken and deceased had no family to visit their relatives. Buy some Hu Nu to act as a writer, and many of them were given to guests in name, but in fact they were secretly made 'patients'."
"If you want to buy Hu girls to hide people's eyes and ears, naturally you don't want to buy all Hu girls. Yaren will only choose beautiful and strong Hu girls for us. At this time, a beautiful Hu girl was sold in, because she looked like a beautiful girl. It was so beautiful, but my father didn't want to buy it. My brother didn't know how it seemed like he was enchanted, so he secretly found those toothy people and bought the beautiful Hu girl in, because he was worried that my father and sister-in-law would be angry. Only put her on the house tricks side."
"The situation on Hu Ji's side can be described as extremely terrifying. Once you get in there, being 'sent out' is not far from death. Then Hu Nv was 'sent out' by accident, my brother lost her. I heard that he was sent away, so I immediately went to my father to ask for it, hoping to get him back, and this is the beginning of the conflict."
"I only knew that the caravan would bring some people back, but I didn't know what my father did. Later, my father was almost found by the government in several places where there were Tibetans, so he simply put the whole thing in the tunnel of the Yuan family. Go ahead. My brother was looking for someone like crazy. I was worried that he would do something stupid, so I went with him to look for him, and finally found the tunnel..."
Yuan Fang's face began to look bad, and it seemed that finding the tunnel was the beginning of his nightmare.
"That Hu Nu was not regarded as a 'medicine person', because she revealed her identity after witnessing the situation in the tunnel - she was a county owner of Helian Xia, and when she fled south to Liu Song, it happened to be a bandit, and she was finally plundered. I came out and sold it to Renya at a high price, and then sold it to my brother at a higher price."
"Previously, she was worried that people and goods could be inhabited, and buying and selling her as a princess would bring shame to the clan. She planned to die without revealing her identity, but after seeing the tragic situation in the tunnel, she finally explained her identity. Liu Song felt that her identity was It's available, so my father doesn't touch her."
"But once you get in there, it's impossible to get out again. My brother failed to beg for a few times, and I saw those 'medicine people' in the tunnel. After being tortured by this, my personality changed drastically, and I began to disobey my father repeatedly. When I got to the point of 'rebellion', I was quickly disliked by my father; and I have always been heavy-hearted, but for some reason, my father felt that it was useful, and began to alienate my brother and lift me up."
"Brother really likes that woman..." Yuan Fang sneered, "I don't know what's so good about the woman who claims to be the Lord of Helian County, but let my brother compromise with his father for him and save her life."
"As there are fewer and fewer medicine practitioners in the tunnels, forcing my father to stop trying, unless all the people from the Yuanjia Wubi are used to test the disease, no amount of people will be enough. In the end, a kind of whole body The disease that died of pus barely met my father's requirements. After several attempts, even Liu Song's people became afraid and did not allow my father to put it in a crowded place. Unless there was an army going south, I would rather all the medicine people die. Can't get out."
"Then why is there now... ah!"
He Mulan suddenly realized that she almost clenched her teeth.
"Because there is a large army going south, isn't it? It's a beast, even more terrifying than the Rouran people blocking the cavalry with living people!"
"It is precisely because there is an army heading south, heading straight towards the border of Song and Wei, where there is panic, and so does my father." Yuan Fang said with a sullen face: "Staying in that tunnel day and night, even a good person will become a sick person. The Helian County Lord also contracted the disease for some reason. Although the disease was not serious, his appearance was completely ruined. In order to make his brother give up, he asked his brother to see the sick Hun girl. Like crazy, I wanted to save that stubborn girl out, and then I found out, what happened in the back... "
He covered his face in pain.
"If I knew this earlier, why should I accompany him to find orchid! Even if we don't know anything, it's better than this!"
Both Kou Yizhi and He Mulan were shocked by this fact for a long time and couldn't recover, Yuan Fang yelled at everyone in pain. He cursed his father, cursed the names of Liu Song and Emperor Wei, cursed those who first got sick, cursed God, and cursed himself.
The sound of his curse became louder and louder, and Yuan Hua's expression became more and more sad.
"retribution!"
He wailed with all his strength and shouted:
"Retribution!"
