Qin Fang looked at him for a moment and curled his lips: "Guess."
Captain Yang felt a little cold when he was looked at: "I can't guess." In fact, he didn't dare to guess the worst, as that would be too disrespectful to the general.
Qin Fang was not one to play word games, so Captain Yang could not guess what was going on, so he said directly: "The stuff that brought down that bunch of bandits, it's a good thing, right?"
Captain Yang was ashamed. The general actually carried such third-rate stuff as knockout drug and sleeping pill with him. How could he be persuaded
After putting the things away, Qin Fang looked at them and said, "Take the remaining hares and pheasants with you and return to the barracks. Also, be fair and honest to people and things. As long as you have a clear conscience, it's okay to use some low-level means." This is what Lord Du said, that if you pay attention to the gentleman's behavior in everything, then there will be no villains in this world. The behavior of a gentleman and the behavior of a villain are the same as long as they are in the right things.
Captain Yang accepted the instruction and asked, "Then why don't you send someone to guard this place?"
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 yield any results. Besides, our sudden appearance has already aroused their vigilance. Besides, wild animals will go down the mountain every winter. Before that, everyone is safe, so there is no rush here. Before we judge the situation here, there is no need to send people to guard here for the time being. Let's go. Maybe someone will come here early tomorrow, and there will be clues left in these traps."
Captain Yang: "Everyone, gather and withdraw."
Qin Fang blew a whistle, and Wu Shuai came running over. Qin Fang had a horse, so he spurred it and rode away.
Eastern Suburbs Military Camp
“The general is back… The general is back…” The soldier on the lookout was the first to notice.
As soon as the soldier on the lookout shouted, the other soldiers became excited: "General, are you going to hunt prey?"
“I can’t see clearly.”
"I wonder if there will be meat to eat today."
"We raise poultry in the military camp and farm, and we'll have eggs to eat in three or four months."
"This is all thanks to the general's wife."
"Of course, the general's wife is such a good person."
There are 100 soldiers standing guard at the military camp every day, but they are not only watching the manor, but also feeding the chickens, ducks and pigs. Otherwise, these poultry will starve to death if they rely on Niu Er. If they hire people, the military pay will not be enough, so the soldiers can be used flexibly, which is good.
Although these one hundred soldiers are on the manor every day, they never miss any training. They run along the thousand-acre manor every day, and the amount of training is quite a lot.
When Qin Fang and others came closer, the soldiers ran out and looked at Qin Fang expectantly. Qin Fang and Tao Shan came first, and Captain Yang and his men were still running behind. Everyone saw that Tao Shan's horse had quite a few pheasants and rabbits, but there were no big ones. But how could these be enough for them to eat
Captain Lu came out and asked, "General, are we going to cook these pheasants and rabbits today?"
Qin Fang said, "Wait a minute. Tao Shan will go to the government office to invite Doctor Li. Then, invite a well-known doctor in the county."
Although Tao Shan was puzzled, he didn't say anything: "Yes." He just rode his horse back to the city.
Captain Lu was puzzled: "General, Captain Yang, is anyone injured?" Otherwise, why would they call a doctor
Qin Fang said: "No. I suspect there is something wrong with the meat."
Now not only Captain Lu was puzzled, but the other soldiers were also puzzled and looked at Qin Fang one after another.
Qin Fang explained: "Think about it, the beasts in the Beast Mountain will not attack the county town except in winter. Why? The beasts attack the county town in winter because there is no food. They want to eat, right?"
One soldier said, "That's what Magistrate Yang and the common people said."
Qin Fang said: "Then the question is, since Liang left, 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, at first I thought that it was a bit untenable that they did not eat small animals and came down the mountain to attack the people in the county for food. Besides, they came down the mountain in winter because there was no food. This is what others said, but it is not as good as you. Only wild animals can talk."
Captain Lu: "But I can't understand the beasts' language either."
Qin Fang smiled: "This is easy. We will know tomorrow." If the rabbits in the traps were eaten, it means that there is nothing wrong with the game. Then the wild beasts attacking the county town in winter must not be because there is no food.
Moreover, if wild beasts attacked the county town in winter because there was no food, would there be food in other seasons
Therefore, it didn't make sense to Qin Fang that the wild beasts came down the mountain to attack the county town because of food problems.
If we go and ask the doctor, he will naturally check whether there is anything wrong with the rabbits and pheasants.
Although Captain Lu didn't know about Qin Fang's trap, since Qin Fang said so, he would wait and see the result tomorrow.
Qin Fang had eight reasons for believing 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 wild animals at the foot of the Beast Mountain, it could be seen that there were often wild animals wandering at the foot of the mountain, so if the meat in the trap was discovered by the wild animals, they would definitely eat it.
But... wild animals like to live in the jungle. There are no houses, jungles, or trees in the area below the Beast Mountain. The distance from the Beast Mountain to the county town is not short. Logically, wild animals would not walk such a long distance down the mountain to the county town unless they migrated. But no one has set foot in the Beast Mountain for more than 20 years. In such a good place, wild animals would certainly not migrate.
Besides, it is strange that these beasts attack the county town year after year.
Combining all these doubts, Qin Fang came to the conclusion that the beasts attacking the county town every winter was not that simple, and he thought it was more likely to be human-caused. Otherwise, the beasts would not do such regular things.
But, if it is man-made, who would it be? What is the other party's purpose
County Magistrate Yang also reported the incident of wild animals attacking the county to the court, but the court asked Yunxiang County to solve it on its own. From the court's perspective, this response was not wrong. If the court had to solve the problem of wild animals everywhere, what were the local officials doing? In other words, the court did not take the issue of wild animals seriously.
Soon, Captain Yang returned with a hundred soldiers.
A hundred soldiers were waiting to drink the broth, but they were puzzled to see the hare and rabbit thrown on the ground and not yet put into the pot.
Captain Yang said, "Why don't you cook this game? Brothers, you can earn some broth."
Captain Lu said, "The general said he wanted a doctor to come and check it out."
So, the soldiers in the barracks began to wait for the doctor.
Doctor Li arrived very quickly, and with him came Doctor Yu from the county seat of Yunxiang County.
The two men came together in the carriage of the general's mansion. They didn't know why they came to the East Suburb Military Camp, but they thought that the East Suburb Military Camp needed two doctors. Maybe there were many injured or sick people, and one doctor might not be able to handle it.
Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the eastern suburbs military camp, we saw that all the soldiers were sitting on the ground. What was going on
Tao Shan: "General, please come in, doctor."
Doctor Li and Doctor Yu came forward and said, "I have seen you, General."
Qin Fang nodded and pointed to the pheasants and rabbits on the side: "Here are some game, all brought from the Beast Mountain. Come and check if there are any problems with the game and whether it is clean."
Doctor Li and Doctor Yu looked at each other and asked him to come and check the game. Although they did not understand what General Qin meant, the two doctors checked him immediately.
The inspection of the game was quick. After the two doctors inspected it, they discussed it for a while. Finally, Doctor Li said, "General, I and Doctor Yu both think there is nothing wrong with these pheasants and rabbits. Judging from the blood, they are all clean and there is no sign of poisoning."
Qin Fang: "So it can be eaten by humans?"
Doctor Li said, "It's edible."
Qin Fang said: "Okay, you can go back. Taoshan, give me the consultation fee." Doctor Li is the court physician of the general's mansion. He has a fixed monthly salary and does not need to pay for consultations, but Doctor Yu does not.
Upon hearing that the general wanted to pay for the consultation, Doctor Yu immediately said, "No, no. General, you can come to Yunxiang County and defend the city for us ordinary people. It is already a gift from the court. It is my duty to do anything for you. I will not charge for the consultation." It was just a small thing, but he really did not charge for the consultation and was not being polite.
Qin Fang insisted, "Keep it."
Doctor Yu was in a state of panic and had no choice but to accept the medical fee from Tao Shan.
After the two doctors left, Qin Fang asked someone to take the pheasants and rabbits to the kitchen and said, "This is the game caught by the 100 soldiers today. It will be served tonight. If the rest of you want to eat it, just wait until tomorrow. I will send another 100 soldiers to accompany you tomorrow."
"."
After finishing the work in the military camp, Qin Fang returned to the general's mansion.
Yang Haiyan was waiting for Qin Fang. After Doctor Li came back, he had already told her about the military camp. Of course, Yang Haiyan was also puzzled. Why did Qin Fang ask Doctor Li to watch the prey
So when Qin Fang arrived, she asked curiously: "Husband, why did you ask Doctor Li to check which prey? Is there anything wrong with those prey?"
Qin Fang washed up and sat at the dining table, waiting for the food to be served. Hearing Yang Haiyan say: "Let's analyze it from your own perspective, Yanyan, what do you think is the probability of human intervention?"
When Yang Haiyan heard Qin Fang think of it as man-made, she felt that it was unlikely: "If it was man-made, wouldn't it be necessary to tame the beasts? How could anyone be so powerful as to control so many 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 I have no other idea. Otherwise, it is unreasonable for wild beasts to attack the county town when there are abundant wild animals in the mountain, and it happens regularly every winter."
