"So, after many people disappeared and you had no clue to solve the case, could you just write to Shen Chen and ask him how to deal with it?"

"good."

"So Shen Chen discovered Peixian County early and realized something was wrong here?"

"Um."

Song Lingjun's tone could not conceal his admiration and praise: "Brother Shen is very sharp. From the few words I wrote, he sensed something was wrong in the mountain and told me how to verify it. From him, I learned a lot about how to be an official and serve the people. I have done a lot of good things. There are still many things I have not learned from Brother Shen. If I continue to be in contact with Brother Shen, I believe I will be able to..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Lin Xi quickly interrupted.

Song Lingjun looked puzzled.

The corner of Lin Xi's mouth twitched, "Although I am very happy to hear other people praise my husband, and feel proud of it, but this is not what matters now, right?"

Song Lingjun came back to his senses, looked slightly embarrassed, coughed a few times and said: "Miss Lin is right. In short, I later found out that there were traces of troops passing through in the nearby mountains, and they were not troops specially stationed by the imperial court. This matter is not a trivial matter, and I immediately I have written a secret document and report it to Beijing as soon as possible."

Lin Xi felt something was wrong, "Wait a minute, Lieutenant Song, when did you send the secret discount?"

Song Lingjun said: "At the beginning of the year."

Lin Xi understood it almost instantly. She said in shock: "I heard that Yi Hong also offended Sheng Yan at the beginning of the year and was demoted to patrol the place. Could it be..."

Song Lingjun said calmly: "Yes, it is precisely because of my secret trick that all the saints entrusted Lord Yi with important tasks, openly and covertly, and quickly solved the problem while the envoys from the north and the south were talking about each other and attracted the attention of the world."

Lin Xi asked hurriedly: "Did Shen Chen know before that Yi Hong was demoted to the position of local governor??"

Song Lingjun said: "Of course I know. I told Brother Shen everything that happened in the court. He helped me make such an important discovery, but he didn't want to take credit for it. How could I hide it from him?"

After listening to this, Lin Xi's scalp suddenly became numb and she had goosebumps all over her body.

So from the time Shen Chen contacted Wang Shou before he came to Jinling with her, to Yi Hong using her to force him to stay in Jinling, and then to contacting Song Lingjun and arranging for Wang Shou and the others to come to Pei County, these things had already been under Shen Chen's control Within expectations.

Because he had long known that the county captain of Pei County was Song Lingjun!

Because he had long known about the anomalies in the nearby mountains from Song Lingjun!

It was also because he had known for a long time that Yi Hong would come to Jinling after being demoted to governor!

Therefore, he is not surprised by what may happen, and prepares in advance based on what may happen.

If he is really left behind in the end, then Wang Shou and others and Song Lingjun will be his back-ups; if he is not left behind, then he will return to Ruyang Ping County with her on time, and Wang Shou and others will not take her back. Weapons go.

Lin Xi took a breath, "What happens after that? What does Shen Chen ask you to do after Wang Shou and the others arrive?"

Song Lingjun shook his head, "I don't know."

Lin Xi: “You don’t know??”

Song Lingjun: "I know you and Brother Shen have been to Jinling. After you left, Brother Shen came to see me once at night. He told me to move all the people in Pei County to the back mountains and not return to the county in the short term. Then he I wrote a letter to Brother Du and the others."

"After I moved the people, not many people paid attention to Peixian County. Brother Du and others came to Peixian County, which is the safest place. But after they arrived, Brother Wang and Brother Yan took the things they brought and left without telling them. I wonder what they are going to do. Brother Du stayed here until two days ago, when the herbs and the letter you sent arrived, Miss Lin. He left with most of the herbs, and must have gone to Jinling."

"Didn't Wang Shou and Yan Zhong go to Jinling??" Lin Xi asked.

Song Lingjun said: "I don't know, Brother Shen has his own arrangements. Brother Shen also only asked me to take care of the people here. This is indeed what I should do. I am the county captain of Pei County, and I will do my best. Let the people here survive."

After saying this, Song Lingjun couldn't hide the fatigue on his face.

He raised his hand to rub his eyebrows and closed his dry, bloodshot eyes.

Lin Xi looked at him blankly, and finally could only say one sentence.

"What about the plague? I want to ask... was the plague expected by Shen Chen?"

Song Lingjun opened his eyes and looked at her. For a moment, he shook his head and said, "No, no one thought that there would be a plague. Although Your Majesty intends to let Mr. Yi solve the trouble here, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter and cannot be solved in a short time. Your Majesty I have never had such an idea. It’s just the plague that has brought everything forward.           

Lin Xi swallowed: "What is the situation in Jinling City now?"

Song Lingjun said tiredly: "I don't know. If you, Miss Lin, want to go into Jinling to save the people there, I have a way to send you in. But before that, please save the people in Pei County first."

Lin Xi closed her eyes heavily, and when she opened them again, she stood up and said, "Song County Lieutenant, please point me to an official. I will go and see the situation of the people now."

"In addition, please keep a record for me. I need to know how long each person has been infected, what prescriptions they drank, the severity, how many herbs are left, etc."

As soon as Song Lingjun heard this, he pressed his eyebrows hard and stood up holding the desk.

"I'll take you there."

"But look..."

"It's okay. It's what I, the county captain, should do for the people." Song Lingjun looked at Lin Xi, "Miss Lin has traveled a long way and never rested. How can I have the nerve to rest."

He walked around the document and came out, "Follow me."

Lin Xi looked at his back. He was not thin before, but now he was much thinner than she remembered him.

After going out, when the officials saw Song Lingjun, they all bowed respectfully.

Song Lingjun took Lin Xi out to the east side and met many people on the way.

It was obviously late at night, but most of these women, children, old and weak people did not fall asleep. Instead, they looked at the full moon in the sky and did some work in their hands.

When they saw Song Lingjun, they shouted happily to Mr. Song to greet him. Their voices were trembling, but they were firm and respectful, and they even kowtowed.

Whenever Song Lingjun hurriedly supported them, they accidentally stuffed them with eggs, pancakes and other kinds of food that were enough to satisfy them.

Their sincere words were irresistible: "Master Song, please pay more attention to rest. You don't think it will be good. I'm afraid you haven't eaten at this late hour. Don't dislike this."

Song Lingjun thanked them warmly, asked them if they felt unwell today, and reassured them that if there were any signs of infection, they should tell them immediately, as the doctor and the medicine were there, no more deaths would occur.

Lin Xi followed silently. She was already shabby since she came on the road, and no one noticed her when she was silent.

But when Lin Xi looked at Song Lingjun, she suddenly remembered what Dr. Luo once said to her.

It was also what the former general said——

It would be great if there were more people like him in this world.

What kind of person?
