Soon, all the wells in Jinling Mansion were blocked by the government officials.
Under Yang Qingyuan's order, water samples from various wells were sampled and sent to the Jinling Mansion Yamen.
After testing by Ji Mingzhu, who traveled all the way from Yangzhou, he found something abnormal in it.
What fell into the well cannot be called a poison, but a substance mixed with poison and epidemic, more like a virus in the modern medical sense. Yang Qingyuan called it a "poison seed."
This kind of poisonous seed is not highly toxic in nature, but once it enters the human body, it will absorb nutrients, take root, sprout, grow and grow, and then turn into a disease and kill people.
At the same time, after this kind of viral epidemic takes shape, it will also have a certain degree of transmissibility. In this way, the appearance consistent with the epidemic can completely conceal its essence, making it difficult for ordinary doctors to distinguish whether it is an epidemic or a poison.
In other words, it is a hybrid of pestilence, poison, and poison.
Ordinary doctors cannot crack this poison at all. To crack this poison, one must have extremely high attainments in medicine, medicine, poison, and poison.
The first three are easy to say, but the art of poison has not been spread since the first emperor of the pre-Qin Dynasty burned books and trapped witches, and few people know about it.
Even Sun Shichang, a master of medicine in the Central Plains, could not understand its profound meaning.
Regardless of morality, this poison maker is truly a genius, capable of integrating epidemics, poisons, and poisons into one.
Even now Ji Mingzhu, Tang Shenwei, and Li Binhu assist Sun Shichang, it is difficult to crack this poison and develop an antidote in a short period of time.
Yang Qingyuan left the development of the antidote entirely to Sun Shichang, and he began to hold Jinling officials accountable.
After Yang Qingyuan arrived in Jinling, he issued seven epidemic prevention measures, the most important of which was that the water used at the entrance must be boiled.
They also strictly ordered the mayors of each city to organize people to boil water for disinfection.
However, there are many local subordinate officials who are doing superficial work. Whenever the agents and staff of Liumen and Jinling Mansion do random inspections, they will see a large number of people boiling water, and buckets of boiling water are poured out.
propose.
At this time, Liumen and Jinling Mansion were seriously short of manpower, so they did not dwell on this matter for too long.
They also did not expect that these subordinate officials would not even carry out the order to depose the envoy.
But it is precisely because they are subordinates that they dare to act so boldly.
Although there are often words about corrupt officials, abuse of officials and cruelty, officials and officials are two different things.
To put it simply, "officials" have grades and salaries. They are "officials appointed by the imperial court" directly appointed by the imperial court, while "officials" are specific staff members who are subordinate to officials. Officials are pillars, officials are rubble, and officials are the backbone.
Officials are branches and vines, officials are tigers and wolves, and officials are minions. As for the relationship between the two parties, it is more interesting. "Officials" and "officials" are interdependent, but also plot against each other and be wary of each other.
The "Hanshu: List of Hundred Officials and Officials" written in the early Han Dynasty divided state officials into three categories, namely chief officials, senior officials and minor officials. However, these three categories can actually be divided into two major categories. The main differences between the two categories are:
The boundary is the salary. Those with a salary of more than 200 dan are called "officials", and those with a salary of less than 200 dan are called "officials".
Converted to today, cadres below the division level cannot even be called officials...
Looking at the ninth-grade official positions, the ninth-grade official positions include the Ambassador of the Propaganda Department (the head of the Municipal Taxation Bureau), the prefectural official (the assistant judge of the Provincial High Court), the county inspection officer (the head of the County Public Security Bureau), and the Imperial College Classics (the book of Qingbei University
Curator)...
These people, whose powers are outrageous in the eyes of ordinary civilians, are the lowest of the nine ranks, the starting point for officials.
Those below them can only be regarded as officials.
Officials were appointed by the imperial court during the Early Han and Later Han Dynasties, but after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they were completely eliminated from the official establishment of the imperial court.
Now in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the salaries of officials are also included in the fiscal funds for local operations, and are not called salaries.
Therefore, the first priority of being a local official in the Great Zhou Dynasty was to control these subordinate officials and make them use themselves.
Xue Wen, the prefect of Jinling, has just taken office not long ago, and has not even fully handed over the work, let alone control the Jinling area.
The seven high-intensity epidemic prevention strategies made these subordinate officials feel lazy, which resulted in such evil consequences.
Yang Qingyuan immediately ordered that all the subordinate officials who had violated the law and caused serious consequences should be arrested and prosecuted.
Regardless of others, if one crime of dereliction of duty results in serious consequences, it is enough for them to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
After purging local grassroots governance forces, Yang Qingyuan handed over epidemic prevention to Xue Wen, Yin of Jinling Prefecture.
He has more important things to do.
…
However, when Yang Qingyuan was preparing to investigate, an unexpected person came to Jinling.
"In a humble position, Su Youming, Mingqiu Secretary of Dali Temple, has met your Excellency!"
Su Youming, who was ordered to come to Yangzhou as an imperial envoy and was in high spirits, seemed a little uneasy at the moment.
Because standing in front of him was Yang Qingyuan, the founder of the Dali Temple Criminal Law Academy, the restorer of the Dali Temple, and the spiritual leader of the Dali Temple.
"You are a fourth-term student of Dali Temple's Criminal Law College!" Yang Qingyuan remembered him because Su Youming was quite talented in criminal investigation and inference and was accepted as a disciple by Di Zhiyuan.
"How is your case in Yangzhou going?!"
Yang Qingyuan knew that Su Youming came to Yangzhou to investigate the cases of a large number of missing women. Yang Qingyuan had already had a premonition about his sudden appearance in Jinling.
"Yes! I was originally investigating the case of missing women in Yangzhou City, but I received an official document from the Liumen Branch of Jinling a few days ago. Most of the women rescued from Huangye Island in the Liuli Islands in the East China Sea were...
is on the missing list, so I came to Jinling to consolidate the case files in order to combine the two cases."
After searching and searching, Su Youming discovered that the person behind this case was not simple. There seemed to be a huge figure hidden somewhere.
"Blood River Sect!"
Yang Qingyuan put down the tea cup in his hand and calmly spoke a heart-stopping answer.
No matter who it is, the Blood River Sect is a big trouble.
The Blood River Sect plunders the blood essence of others for its own cultivation. Although it is not in line with the way of heaven, it is indeed far better than ordinary warriors.
As expected, Su Youming's qi-nurturing skills were not bad among the Mingqiu Division, and he had taken on many major and important cases, but when he heard the name of the Blood River Sect, his body still trembled subconsciously.
With his level, he is qualified to have access to the old archives of Dali Temple, including records about the Blood River Evil Sect.
"I have also seen the files of Yangzhou's disappearance case. This is different from ordinary flower picking and abduction cases. In ordinary flower picking and abduction cases, whether it is a young girl or a married young woman, the appearance and figure are all first-class.
But none of the women who disappeared this time fit this characteristic."
Su Youming nodded, "Yes, we have counted all missing women, a total of 2,130 people. But apart from the fact that these people are all women, it is difficult to find common ground with previous abduction cases, flower pickers, etc."
The cases are completely different. It seems difficult to find anything in common between the missing women."
Yang Qingyuan held the copied dossier in his hand, his eyes calm, but there seemed to be dark waves turbulent in it.
"Of course we have something in common! These women are all under thirty years old, and their bodies are easy to give birth to..."
