The officials in charge of water sources in each village were horrified and hurriedly ran to Lu Yu to plead guilty.
Lu Yu immediately issued several orders. From now on, those who want to get water must go through careful screening to prevent evil cultivators from getting into it.
At the same time, Lu Yu ordered the doctors accompanying the army to check the water sources that had been distributed immediately. If poison was hidden in them, they were not allowed to be used.
After the order was given, Lu Yu sat on the front seat of the court with his fingers on his forehead, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Sir, how did you tell that there was something wrong with the water in Tianpingfang?"
The chief clerk hesitated for a while and finally asked about his doubts.
He originally thought that Lu Yu went to Tianpingfang to check the defensive strength of the water source. Unexpectedly, Lu Yu discovered the evil cultivator hiding there as soon as he passed by.
This is too much of a coincidence.
He had been following Lu Yu, and naturally he knew that Lu Yu had not left the courtroom at all. How did he know in advance that there was an evil cultivator in Tianpingfang?
Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes and said calmly: "Wuli Fang was not originally a Fang, but a gathering place composed of a group of monster dealers. Later, when they became more powerful, they were established as a Fang by the previous Zhou Mu. The entire Fang City
, more than 90% of people make a living by selling monsters and beasts."
"That's right, most of the sales of monsters and beasts in Lingzhou are carried out in Wulifang." The chief clerk nodded.
Lu Yu asked: "If you were a monster dealer, would you let the monsters eat poisonous feed?"
The chief clerk opened his mouth, but still no words came out.
For those monster dealers, the monsters in their hands are their property, and their care may be more important than theirs.
Feed is crucial to the growth of monsters, and they cannot be careless.
"You mean, there is no problem with the feed?" the chief clerk asked.
Lu Yu said lightly: "Poisoning needs to have a purpose and achieve the effect of a sure hit. Otherwise, it will scare the snake and lose the advantage of poisoning. If it is poisoned in a pile of feed, it just kills a group of monsters, then
It’s too much to make a fuss out of a molehill.”
"So I suspect that those monster beasts were poisoned not because of the feed, but because of the water source."
The chief clerk suddenly had an idea: "No wonder, sir, why are you sure it is Tianpingfang?"
"Tianpingfang is the closest to Wulifang, and the transportation of water is also the most labor-saving. The military water will be screened before it is used. As soon as the water source in Wulifang arrives, it will be supplied to the monsters, and the poisoning effect will be greater than that of the military.
Water is faster.”
I see!
The chief clerk's gaze when he looked at Lu Yu suddenly changed even more.
The existence of evil cultivators can be inferred from a small incident like poisoning by a monster!
This resourcefulness and scheming are simply breathtaking.
The chief clerk suddenly thought of something and his expression changed: "Then now, wouldn't it be that a large number of people have been poisoned?"
"Let's see the results." Lu Yu said solemnly.
After an hour, the officials outside reported the results.
Although Lu Yu stopped them in time, many people still drank the poisonous water and now have symptoms of poisoning.
Eight thousand defenders and two hundred and fifty thousand civilians!
This is an extremely scary number.
After five months of consumption, the number of people in Lingzhou City is also declining rapidly. The number of people poisoned is so large that Lingzhou has been seriously injured.
"Where are the poisoned people now?"
"My lord, everything has been arranged at the military academy. Physicians and alchemists from the city have been dispatched for treatment."
