After going around in a circle with no results, Lin Mengya had no choice but to return to the inn where they stayed with Wen Jing.
Went to bed early, thinking that we could reach the downstream villages earlier the next day.
Unexpectedly, the next day, a large group of people gathered at the door.
"I heard that you have a doctor here? Please ask the doctor to treat my head!"
"And I!"
"My family too!"
Lin Mengya was awakened by the noise outside. She sent someone down to inquire and found out that many people had symptoms of the downstream villages last night.
At this time, because the situation downstream had spread, people here also caused some panic after seeing that their family members were sick.
It happened that the two doctors sitting in the hall were not here at this time, so they thought of this.
After all, when they arrived yesterday, they did not conceal their whereabouts.
At least the innkeeper and the waiter knew that their group was a doctor heading downstream.
However, she had clearly checked the water source last night and was sure there was no problem.
Why do so many people fall ill overnight
In the lobby of the inn, Wen Jing had already organized other doctors to treat patients in an orderly manner.
Lin Mengya asked people to give the boss a lot of money and asked them to evacuate first, and then asked people to go door to door to gather the patients first.
Whether it's plague or dysentery, it's better to deal with it this way.
The inn has also started simple disinfection work, and both drinking water and food are clean.
The patients were gradually carried over. Lin Mengya stood on the second floor, but after looking at the first patient, she frowned tightly.
No, that's not right! This is not a plague or dysentery, but a poison!
Suddenly, her face turned ugly.
Below, Wen Jing also looked a little shocked after diagnosing the patient.
He couldn't help but look towards the second floor, looking at Lin Mengya from a distance.
After the two quickly exchanged glances, Lin Mengya nodded and returned to the room first.
What's going on? Why is it poisoning
In the system, Xiaoyao has quickly detected the characteristics of toxins in the patients' bodies.
The poison is not very toxic and will only cause severe diarrhea at first.
But once treated as dysentery or other gastrointestinal diseases, it will irritate the body and lead to fatal dehydration almost overnight!
From this point of view, perhaps those who died probably lost their lives after drinking medicine.
But who would do it
Judging from the news brought back by her people, no doctor had ever been to that village.
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Wen Jing came in and said eagerly: "I saw clearly just now that these people are not sick, but poisoned!"
Lin Mengya looked at him and felt that there was some faint anger in this man's eyes.
She reacted immediately and said coldly: "Are you doubting me?"
He was not embarrassed even though someone revealed his inner feelings.
He just took a few steps forward and asked in a low voice: "You were the only one who approached the river last night, weren't you?"
"Wen Jing, you should have seen what I did!"
She was a little unbelievable. Why did this person put a shit basin on her head
Unexpectedly, the man showed an expression of distrust.
"I only met you later. I don't know anything about what you did before."
Lin Mengya almost laughed angrily, but she just stared at Wenjing and said angrily: "So you mean, these people are all caused by me? Wenjing, is all the mud in your head? This is mine. Fiefdom, they are all my people, why should I harm them?”
"Because they were all followers of the Doctor's Hall. Gong Ya, you don't know about this, right?"
The way Wen Jing looked at her already made her have extremely unpleasant suspicions.
But she really didn't know about this.
"Anyway, you won't listen to what I say now. Okay, then just do what you think is right. But let me tell you, although I, Gong Ya, am a poisonous doctor, I will never do this. Such a stupid thing. Even if they were once followers of the Medical Hall, I would not bother to use such unsavory methods!"
She was really angry.
Although she never considered herself a good person, she would not use such despicable and shameless methods to deal with some innocent residents.
Besides, how could things be such a coincidence
She now feels that there must be someone secretly arranging this matter.
I'm afraid, the target is her!
"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I will make you pay the price!"
"Wen Jing, don't go too far!"
Lin Mengya stood up and glared at the other party.
"Because I am a poison doctor, you were the first to doubt me when you found out that these people were seriously poisoned. It was you who said that we should put aside our grudges and just treat ourselves as ordinary doctors. But look at , what are you doing now?"
Wen Jing was stunned, but obviously didn't believe her.
"Anyway, I will work hard to save them. But you'd better take care of yourself!"
After saying that, the person left.
Lin Mengya was so angry that she almost smashed the tea set on the table. Fortunately, she still had some sense. At that moment, she called the Jackdaw Guard over and gave a few instructions.
The poison is not difficult to cure, and the antidote is easy to obtain.
But if she takes it out now, she will be suspected of being the real culprit behind the scenes.
But how could she, Lin Mengya, sit still and wait for death.
If you dare to plot against her, you are simply seeking death!
Downstairs, after Wen Jing carefully investigated the patient's poisoning situation, he also understood that he could not be treated with ordinary methods.
But now, he faces a new problem.
The doctors here were all recruited by Lin Mengya, and they did not obey anyone except her.
Moreover, these people are not under the jurisdiction of the Medical Hall, so no one will pay attention to him even if he reveals his identity.
As a last resort, he could only watch the doctors go and ask the woman to come out.
On the second floor, Lin Mengya looked at Wen Jing coldly.
"He's right. This disease absolutely cannot be treated with ordinary methods. You just listen to him for the time being. I'll go out for a while."
Several doctors said yes one after another, but Wen Jing stared at Lin Mengya.
"Where are you going?"
She didn't even look back, she just said a word to him.
"none of your business."
After that, under the glare of Wen Jing, whose face was ashen, he walked away.
The Jackdaw Guard was very fast, and in a short time, she found out the information she wanted.
This town, together with several villages below, were indeed all followers of the Medical Hall.
But they are not very loyal, just because several famous doctors here were all supporters of the Medical Hall.
revenge? Haha, it’s simply a fantasy, and only an idiot can figure it out!
But these are secondary. What Lin Mengya asked the Jackdaw Guard to inquire about was whether there were any other water sources besides the river.
After asking around, I found out that there was a shallow well in the town.
Because the water quality is relatively clear, residents who are far away from the river may go to the wells to get water.
But because the groundwater here does not taste good, it is not the main source of drinking water for residents.
Yesterday, she didn't know there was such a place.
They hurried to the place where the well was, which was a small, dilapidated Town God's Temple.
It was noon at this time, but no one was around.
Lin Mengya and her men were about to go in, but suddenly stopped.
She stood at the door of the City God's Temple and turned on the system's scanning function.
Sure enough.
"Miss, do we still want to go in?"
The guard behind him asked in a low voice.
Lin Mengya shook her head and said, "Don't go in yet. Let's go somewhere else first. You leave two people behind and go arrest people in those two directions."
She pointed in two directions to the side, and the guards behind her understood immediately.
Later, Lin Mengya raised her voice and said: "Since this is not a common water source for residents, let's go to the river and have a look."
"yes."
Then, as if she didn't notice, she left with the others.
The people lurking in those two directions were covered up in the next moment and quietly taken away.
Lin Mengya did not choose to return to the inn.
Because she sensed that someone was following her.
If the system hadn't warned her just before entering that it contained a lot of poison, she wouldn't have stopped.
This is simply a trap prepared for her!
Those people don't have much weight. If they really drink the water in it, they will die of dehydration quickly within an hour.
Sure enough, after she released the scanning function, she discovered the oriole lurking behind her.
If she had rushed in unprepared, she might have been caught red-handed!
At times, she could only remain speechless.
But what the other party didn't expect was that not only did she not go in, she also caught the person hiding.
Soon, the Jackdaw Guard escorted her to the grove by the river.
"Master, we have gotten rid of the people who were following us."
"Well, bring those two people up to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two men, who were tied up like naked pigs, were thrown to her feet by the Jackdaw Guard.
Lin Mengya put on a serious face and said coldly: "Your master is very calculating. It's hard to frame him up like this."
The two people were moaning, and their mouths were blocked, so they couldn't say a complete sentence.
But the look in her eyes was filled with embarrassed fear, and it didn't seem like there was much resistance.
Lin Mengya had someone remove the piece of cloth from one of the people's mouths. As soon as that person was free, he begged for mercy: "Miss, please spare my life! I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please let me go, miss!"
"Are all the doctors in your hall such weaklings?"
"What doctor's hall? Miss, I, I don't know what you are talking about!"
Lin Mengya stared at the man in front of her, wondering: "Who asked you to frame me?"
"Framing, framing? Miss, I didn't know they were trying to frame you! I was just hired by them with money. By the way, they wanted to see clearly who had entered that ruined temple, and then let us make noises everywhere. The younger one doesn’t know about the rest!”
