The Imperial Guards downstairs retreated to the vicinity of the Honggui Inn. The streets were filled with people, and soldiers who had been bitten by poisonous insects screamed in agony.
Military doctors are doing their best to treat him, but it seems the effect is not good.
The injured soldiers frantically searched for antidotes. Houses and shops on both sides of the street were knocked open. Rebellious soldiers rushed in to snatch things, and even took advantage of the chaos to kill people.
The city became chaotic.
The door of Honggui Inn was also knocked open, and the shopkeeper was leading people to deal with it.
The shopkeeper was very smart and did not drive people away directly. Instead, he provided wine, meat, and medicine to treat the wounded soldiers.
At the same time, I found the officer and explained that this is the property of the Dragon Gang.
The noise downstairs gradually died down.
"How about I go down and detoxify them?"
Ya'er said slyly
Long Chen shook his head and said: "Forget it, killing them is pointless."
Ya'er must have been poisoned if they went there, and it was impossible to detoxify them.
These imperial troops have been bitten by poisonous insects, so there is no need to kill them.
After closing the window, Long Chen ignored what was going on downstairs.
After Jiang Hui arrived with people from Taiyuan Hospital, the rebellion was stopped.
During the war, it was too common for soldiers and bandits to burn, kill, and loot.
But this is Jinling City, Jiang Hui still has to stop it.
It gradually became quiet outside, and Long Chen also fell asleep.
When he woke up the next morning, Long Chen opened the window. The imperial troops outside regrouped and prepared to attack Fuyuan Tower again.
Ya'er didn't sleep last night. She fell asleep fast at dawn, lying on the pillow and drooling.
Dong dong dong...
"Please come in."
The shopkeeper opened the door and came in, holding breakfast in his hand.
"How dare you trouble the shopkeeper to deliver breakfast?"
Long Chen immediately picked it up and put it down.
The shopkeeper closed the door and took out a letter from under the dinner plate.
"This is what the hall master asked me to give to the young master. She said it's not convenient to come here right now due to the chaos of war."
Long Chen received the letter and said, "Thank you very much, Master."
The shopkeeper glanced at Ya'er lying on the pillow, smiled and went out.
Ya'er was lying on the pillow, wearing only a bellyband. Looking from behind, it looked like she was naked.
Long Chen shook his head and took a blanket to cover Ya'er.
Opening the envelope, there was a list inside.
Long Chen commissioned Lin Menghan to find a list of officials who had their homes confiscated, and this is it.
The person responsible for confiscating the Dragon Mansion was Li Yuanying. He was the prince and the person in charge of the Imperial City Department. It made sense for him to be the leader.
Among ancient punishments, confiscating a home was an "additional punishment" and there was no dedicated yamen responsible for it.
Otherwise, Long Chen could just arrest the official responsible for ransacking the house.
House raids generally only target officials and rich people.
If an official's house is of rank 4 or below, it is generally the responsibility of the yamen, such as the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Jinyiwei Commandery Yamen, Dongchang, etc.
As for local tycoons, the prefectural government offices are generally responsible.
Of course, if the local tycoon is very rich, like Hu Xueyan, he will also appoint an imperial minister.
For senior officials of grade 4 or above, the emperor will appoint an imperial envoy.
This kind of minister will have a very high rank and be absolutely loyal to the emperor, and Li Yuanying fits the bill.
The person in charge was Li Yuanying, who is already dead.
The deputy is Huai Yi, the Qing of Dali Temple. This man has a bad temper. Even if he is arrested, it will be of no use. He will not be able to ask questions.
Long Chen continued to look down. The person responsible for counting the confiscated items was Tu Maocai, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple.
"Tu Maocai..."
Long Chen carefully recalled that this Tu Mao was a close relative, and he climbed to the position of Prime Minister of Dali Temple because his sister was a concubine in the palace.
The Prime Minister of Dali Temple in Nanliang was ranked in the fifth rank and was not considered a senior official.
Although Tu Maocai's sister became a concubine and was considered favored, Li Chengdao did not give Tu Maocai too much because he could not be reused.
Li Chengdao had strict control over official positions, and most of the ministers in the court were good. This was also the reason why Nanliang could rise.
"It's just right to find him."
Long Chen carefully collected the list.
Picking up the chopsticks, Long Chen quickly finished his breakfast.
Lin Menghan was very meticulous in his work and marked his address on the list.
Tu Maocai's residence is in Xinghua Lane in the west of the city.
There were still many forbidden troops outside, making it difficult to move around during the day. After Long Chen finished his breakfast, he untied the gauze on his left shoulder to check the wound.
Ya'er's medicine is very effective, but the outside is scabbed, and I don't know what's going on inside.
Fortunately, Mi He's sword is very thin. If it were thicker or the shape became triangular, the consequences would be serious.
Ya'er, this little girl, is pretty good except for her murderous methods.
Long Chen lay on the bed and continued to sleep to recover from his injuries.
....
In the attic not far from Honggui Inn, Jiang Hui and Xuan Jizi were discussing how to deal with Tianxiahui.
The two of them didn't sleep a wink all night, and there were dark circles under their eyes.
Deputy Commander Wu Hongying walked in and saluted: "Grand Commander, Taoist Priest."
Jiang Hui asked: "What are the casualties?"
Wu Hongying replied: "More than 30,000 soldiers were bitten by poisonous insects last night, 20,000 have died, and 10,000 are still being treated."
"But we are seriously short of manpower, and many brothers are waiting to die."
"What's even more troublesome is that the bodies of those dead brothers rotted too fast. I'm afraid there will be a plague."
When there are too many deaths, plague and infectious diseases are likely to occur, which was very scary in ancient times.
Jiang Hui looked at Xuan Jizi, who immediately said: "Bury the body quickly!"
Wu Hongying continued: "There are also many people in the north of the city who were bitten to death by poisonous insects, more than 40,000 of them, and even more were poisoned. There are not enough doctors at all."
Jiang Hui's face became even more ugly.
During a war, it is normal for soldiers to die in battle, but the people are innocent.
Tianxia would poison so many innocent people to death, and Jiang Hui was filled with anger.
Xuan Jizi advised: "The commander-in-chief, calm down. Pindao suggested that the imperial army bury the bodies of the people together."
"As for those who are injured and poisoned...if there is extra medicine, give some to the people."
Jiang Hui was also helpless and could only do this.
During the war, Jiang Hui would definitely give priority to rescuing soldiers.
"That's it."
Jiang Hui waved helplessly, and Wu Hongying went out to make arrangements.
....
Honggui Inn.
Long Chen shook Ya'er.
Ya'er opened her eyes, turned over, stretched and asked, "What are you doing?"
Long Chen said: "Come with me to save people."
Ya'er thought she had heard wrong, so she slowly got up and asked, "Save someone? Who to save?"
Long Chen said: "The people of Jinling City, those poisonous insects not only killed the imperial army, but also killed many people."
Ya'er was unwilling and said: "Why, they are fighting and you go to save people?"
"The world is so vicious. If you use Xuanwu Tail to summon hundreds of poisons, why don't they save people?"
"Li Chengdao's own capital and his own people, why didn't they save them?"
Long Chen said: "What they do is their business, I can't just ignore them."
When fighting, the people are the most innocent.
Especially when attacked by such poisonous insects, the people have no way to protect themselves.
Ya'er asked: "Do you think this is your fault?"
Long Chen didn't answer, he did feel a little guilty.
After all, he was the one fanning the flames of this fight.
Ya'er said: "What does it have to do with you? The world will summon poison. If Li Chengdao himself doesn't clean up the people, he will start a war."
"They don't care, what do you care about!"
"You are just too soft-hearted. You were the same at Jade Buddha Pass. You lost so many troops in order to save the people."
"My wife said this is your huge weakness, be careful of others taking advantage of you!"
Long Chen picked up the clothes and threw them to Ya'er, saying: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
Ya'er picked up her clothes and found that her bellyband was missing.
"Big pervert, you're hurt and you're still hurting me!"
