"I don't know who is so powerful that he can combine toxins and germs to create a new, more domineering disease."
Mo Zihan's words made everyone present's expressions darken.
"Prefect Liang, take us to your home to have a look."
Liang Qiuhang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood and immediately led the emperor and his entourage to the prefect's mansion.
After ordering someone to fetch a bucket of water from the well, Mo Zihan smelled it carefully and then took another taste. Tuoli looked at her nervously, but never spoke.
It wasn't until Mo Zihan swallowed the water that Tuoli asked with some relief: "The water quality here is not polluted?"
"Yes," Mo Zihan nodded. "I guess the water in this well is groundwater, which is different from the moat water, so it has not been polluted."
"How abominable!"
Tuoli couldn't bear it and cursed loudly.
Liang Qiuhang's face has turned blue since he knew that this plague was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster.
You know, when something like this happened in the area under his jurisdiction, and he attributed the cause of the incident to the woman the emperor cared about, Liang Qiuhang knew that he would definitely run away without finishing the meal.
This princess doesn't look like a witch who brings disaster to the country and the people. I don't know who could be so bad. In order to find an excuse for someone else to be a witch, she even went so far as to poison the city of Yunzhou with hundreds of thousands of people.
Later, at Mo Zihan's request, we visited several large houses with wells and got the same result. The water recovered from the groundwater was different from the water recovered from the moat. The groundwater was non-toxic.
"Liang Qiuhang listens to the order."
"Wei Chen is here."
"Immediately order people to inform the people in the city that they are no longer allowed to consume the moat water. Order people with well water to open their wells for daily drinking by other people. In addition, immediately order people to dig a few more wells farther away from the river.
Well, for the people to eat."
"yes."
"And." Mo Zihan ordered: "Clean up all the corpses immediately, burn them, and do not put them in the ground. After the burning is completed, smoke the city with mugwort leaves, splash them on the streets, and boil mugwort leaf water and distribute it to the people of the city for free."
"yes."
"Where was this disease first discovered?" Mo Zihan asked.
"Back to Princess, Guyuan Township in Wangqu County is the place where the plague first appeared."
"Is it far from here?"
"Not far. Just upstream of Yunzhou City."
"Take us there immediately."
"yes."
If the city of Yunzhou is empty and depressing, with dead people everywhere, then Wangqu County, the birthplace of the plague, is a dead city with almost no life.
"You brat, how dare you steal steamed buns! I'll beat you to death..."
A dark-skinned boy of about ten years old held a steamed bun in his left hand and right hand respectively, turned it out of the window of a room, and ran away.
A middle-aged man chased the boy out of the house, cursing angrily and fucking the guy, preparing to take the boy down.
"Stop chasing him! You clearly know that boy is from Gu Yuanxiang, why are you chasing him? Do you want steamed buns or your life?"
A middle-aged woman followed closely from the house, stopped her man from chasing the boy, dragged him back into the house, and closed the door tightly with her backhand.
Seeing this, Mo Zihan winked at Qian Rui, who was following Tuo Li. Qian Rui immediately captured the boy.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Although I don't know who Qian Rui is, I can take him down so easily.
