The three people were detained in the Yamen by the county captain Niu Sanjin and had not seen the light of day for more than ten days. They were brought out today and saw the high official Long Chen.
The three of them were all ordinary people. They had never seen such a big battle, and they kowtowed in fear: "Sir, it has nothing to do with us. We also escaped from the city."
County magistrate Huang Yin stepped forward and said, "I'm not asking you to blame me. King Wu wants to save you."
"If you explain the matter clearly, King Wu will find a way to save your lives."
"You go ahead and say it."
County magistrate Huang Yin ordered a man, who seemed bolder.
The man got up, lowered his head and said: "The younger one is a citizen of Zhennan City, living in the east of the city. That night, the Zhennan Inn not far from me suddenly said that someone had poisoned him, and then the whole city began to be in chaos.
, someone ran out from the house next door to me, covered in blood, and my mother-in-law’s eyes suddenly started to bleed, as well as my child.”
As he talked, the man recalled the tragic situation of his wife and children and couldn't help crying.
"Tell me the truth about what you did that day."
His wife and children were poisoned and died, but this man was fine, which means that he was not infected that day, so his whereabouts that day are very important.
"My little one went to work outside Zhuangzi that day and came back very late. My mother-in-law had prepared dinner, but before I had time to eat, the poison broke out."
"At that time, the whole city was full of bloody people. People kept running on the streets, and they died while running."
"The government ordered the city gates to be sealed and no one was allowed to go out. Later, the soldiers couldn't hold on anymore, so they opened the city gates and ran out first, and I followed."
"When I was running, it was very dark, and people kept falling on the road, so I kept running. When it got light, I couldn't run anymore and collapsed. When I woke up, I continued to go north and arrived here.
.”
The man answered truthfully.
Long Chen nodded slightly and turned to look at the other two people.
"What about you, tell me about the situation that day."
The taller woman replied: "Sir, I was actually sick that day. My parents and husband went out to work, and I was the only one at home."
"At night, parents and husband When I came back, they asked me if I wanted to eat something, but I couldn't eat anything, so I just lay down."
"I don't know what happened, but my parents and husband died suddenly, lying on the dining table."
"It was very noisy outside, there were people running for their lives everywhere, and there were fires everywhere. I was scared, so I ran away, and then I got here."
Long Chen nodded, looked at the other woman, and asked, "What about you?"
The woman replied: "I was working outside the city. It was too late that day. When I returned outside the city, I saw a fire in the city. People ran out, so I ran with them."
Long Chen asked: "Are there many people like you? Are the people who have not entered the city okay?"
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, those who had the accident were all from the city, and we are all fine."
Long Chen nodded and said to the county captain: "Place them well."
County Lieutenant Niu Sanjin bowed and said, "Young man, take your orders."
Long Chen thought for a while and said: "The poison broke out in the city, and it was related to the food we ate. The scope was so wide and the outbreak happened so fast. Someone deliberately poisoned it."
Gongsun Ming said: "I also think that the Zhao people poisoned us deliberately. The Long Gang is fighting on the front line, and the logistics supplies are transported from our side. They must be taking revenge."
Long Chen looked angry and said coldly: "If you dare to take revenge on us, they are not afraid of my king's revenge!"
The county magistrate Huang Yin and the county magistrate stood at the bottom and did not dare to breathe loudly.
"Xicheng and Long Gang didn't take the initiative to contact us?"
Long Chen looked at Gongsun Ming, who replied: "Not yet, their original business route was through Zhenna City, now they are going through Guicheng, and then to Xicheng."
"I originally wanted to cut off their trade, but I was afraid. I was also afraid that if they made up for the problem, it would give the Zhao people an opportunity."
In fact, Gongsun Ming was worried about the relationship between Ji Xianxian and Long Chen.
"Send a letter to Xicheng and tell them that I have arrived. Regarding this matter, the Dragon Gang
There is also an unshirkable responsibility, and we should be given an explanation."
It is true that Long Chen and Ji Xianxian have a good relationship, but public affairs are public affairs and private affairs are private. They cannot mess around just because they have a good relationship.
Long Chen had already warned the Long Gang not to bring trouble to Nanliang.
Something happened in the end.
"yes!"
Gongsun Ming responded.
After seeing that the business was finished, the county magistrate Huang Yin said: "I have prepared a place for King Wu to stay. Please rest first."
After setting off from Yuncheng, Long Chen traveled thousands of miles in a hurry for more than ten days, with almost no rest, which can be seen from the mud stains on his body.
"Okay, everyone, let's take a rest."
Long Chen stood up, and Li Heiniu and five others followed him down.
"I'll send someone to deliver the message."
Gongsun Ming said, stood up and left.
Li Xiannan thought about it and went back first.
She originally wanted to ask about the situation, but seeing that Long Chen looked very tired and in a bad mood, it would be better to ask after two days.
.
Rhino City.
A man in government uniform followed Tian Liang and hurried into the courtyard, where Xiaoqin was dispensing medicine.
"General Qin."
Tian Liang was surprised and happy, and shouted: "King Wu is here, King Wu is here!"
Xiaoqin thought she heard wrongly and asked: "What?"
Tian Liang said happily: "Long Chen, the King of Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is here. He is in Heling County. He has sent people over."
Xiaoqin was so happy that she threw the medicinal materials aside and said in surprise: "The big pervert is here? When did he come?"
The guard didn't know the relationship between Xiaoqin and Long Chen, nor did he know why he was called a big pervert.
"I am the yamen servant of Heling County, and I have been ordered to deliver a message from King Wu."
"You say it, you say it, you say it quickly."
The officer said: "King Wu said that the Dragon Gang has an unshirkable responsibility for what happened in Zhenna City and needs to give an explanation to King Wu."
Xiaoqin's face darkened with joy. r> "What? It's obviously Zhaoren who poisoned her. It's none of our business. We are also victims."
"The big pervert, we haven't seen each other for a few years, and now he's starting to teach us a lesson. How can this be unreasonable?"
Xiaoqin grabbed a handful of medicine and threw it on the ground.
"I was ordered to deliver the message, that's all."
Xiaoqin asked: "How many people did the big pervert bring here?"
The officer said in embarrassment: "This is not the content of the message. If you are familiar with King Wu, you can go back with me to see King Wu."
The guard was just trying to shirk the situation, but he didn't really want to take them back.
"Okay, Manager Tian, you can watch here while I go find the big pervert."
"I expected him to help, but I didn't expect that he would start an investigation as soon as he came. How can it be unreasonable?"
Xiaoqin changed her clothes and came out quickly.
"Let's go."
Xiaoqin walked out, and the guard secretly cursed himself for being nosy and shouldn't have said such things.
Tian Liang watched Xiaoqin leave, feeling uneasy and immediately sent someone to deliver a message to the front line to tell Ji Xianxian.
.
Heling County.
Long Chen was wearing armor, and Li Heiniu and the other five were also wearing armor. They didn't look hot at all.
"King Wu, aren't you hot?"
Li Xiannan was sitting across from her. She was not wearing any armor. This place was really unbearable.
"I got some good stuff up north, so it's not hot."
Long Chen shook the ice jade pendant around his neck.
Li Xiannan stepped forward and felt a sense of coolness.
"Can you."
"Gone!"
Long Chen flatly refused. He only brought five of them this time. If he gave them to Li Xiannan, he might not be able to use them later.
"Stingy, I'll ask the Fourth Princess later."
Li Xiannan was not in a hurry, Long Chen didn't give it, and Di Luoxi was there.
"Sir, the messenger is back, and he also brought a member of the Dragon Gang, named Xiaoqin."
