After sending the young man infected with malaria away, Fang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
Without artemisinin and Cinchona, getting malaria these days would basically mean death. He didn't want his reborn life to be ruined by this...
He Zongxian stepped forward and asked: "Commander, how should we deal with these people?"
How to dispose of it?
Fang Jun was a little worried.
It stands to reason that the best way to deal with these tough soldiers who want to kill themselves is to capture them and send them to Dali Temple as evidence that Qiu Xinggong intends to murder him.
But Fang Jun knew that it was impossible for these people to identify Qiu Xinggong unanimously. There would always be a few people who were not afraid of death and would rather die than betray Qiu Xinggong. In this way, the testimony would be flawed. For someone like Qiu Xinggong,
For a general with a heavy army, it would be extremely difficult to convict Qiu Xinggong unless he was caught at the scene of the crime.
This is the reality of today's society. In the final analysis, this is still a world "ruled by men."
Legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. Even if the lawsuit comes before the emperor, the emperor will sympathize with Qiu Xinggong and show mercy and understanding. After all, his son died so miserably. It is understandable to want to avenge his son. The most important thing is
Fang Jun, isn’t there nothing wrong with you?
Anyway, it didn’t cause any consequences, so it’s okay if we don’t do it next time...
Even though they were both members of the feudal ruling class and had such privileges, if Fang Jun and Qiu Xinggong were to change places, the outcome would be the same.
But if these people were killed like this, the trouble would be huge.
After all, these people have been captured now, whether they are prisoners or prisoners, we can no longer kill them without permission, otherwise the old guys in the court who are full of benevolence, justice and morality will definitely not spare him Fang Jun. This is not the most embarrassing thing for Fang Jun.
, what makes him most embarrassed is that even his father, Fang Xuanling, will severely scold him for doing this...
His repeated hesitations were seen by the captured soldiers. After all, life and death were in Fang Jun's hands. Every change in his expression might represent the final outcome of these soldiers. How could he not worry about gains and losses?
?
They can obey orders and act bravely without fear of death, but when they can live, no one wants to die.
The soldier who was being interrogated by Fang Jun swallowed hard. After the determined desire to die in his heart was easily defeated by Fang Jun with his family and children, the desire to survive surged uncontrollably. At this moment, he looked around.
, whispered: "Consort, I have a secret that I want to report. I just hope that you will be noble and spare my life..."
Fang Jun frowned and asked: "What secret can make me let you go, an enemy who intends to kill me?"
The soldier hurriedly said: "They are a few spies, real spies, and they have a close relationship with our commander..."
Before the soldier finished speaking, several of the captured soldiers nearby shouted to stop.
"Shut up!"
"Niu Laosan, are you crazy?"
"It's just a death. There is a big scar on the head. If you dare to say it, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"
The soldier was dejected and said nothing, but looked at Fang Jun pleadingly.
interesting……
Is Qiu Xinggong related to enemy spies?
Is this guy still thinking of collaborating with the enemy and treason?
Fang Jun waved his hand and ordered He Zongxian: "Behead the person who just made the remarks as a warning to others!"
"Here!"
He Zongxian had long hated these fierce soldiers because of the heavy casualties suffered by his men. At this moment, when he was given the order, without any hesitation, he walked over with a horizontal knife. The cold light of the knife flickered in the woods, and there were sounds of death and death.
The howl spread far and wide in the silent night. He Zongxian's face was ferocious, and he raised the knife and dropped it. The heads rolled to the ground, blood splattered.
Fang Jun felt chills in his heart. Cutting off his head was like cutting a melon. He was a cruel man!
Not only is he cruel, he also has good swordsmanship. It is easy to chop people, but it is not easy to chop off the head with a knife...
Kill all the "die-hards" and keep the rest silent, answering all questions.
"Consort, I also know the spy!"
"And me, I know it too! I watched them discuss things with the commander-in-chief with my own eyes!"
"What's the point of discussing things? I even saw the Wang family's children coming to meet with the spy!"
"I heard that there is some relationship with the Changsun family..."
The soldier who wanted to "anyway" almost exploded with anger. I finally found a chance to survive, why are you all here to snatch it?
The soldier was extremely anxious and said loudly: "Those spies are hiding on Shilipo at the foot of the mountain. If we go to arrest them now, we will definitely catch them!"
In order to fight for a chance to survive, this group of warriors completely lost their usual bravery and scrambled to reveal everything they knew about the situation.
In order to prevent secrets from being leaked, many of Qiu Xinggong's orders were directly handled by these tough soldiers, but they did not want to create hidden dangers...
Fang Jun's eyes were bright and he waved his hand: "Xue Rengui took this person and immediately went to the ten-mile slope down the mountain to capture the spy. Remember, capture him alive!"
Xue Rengui responded loudly: "Here!"
The soldier got up from the ground in a hurry, ignoring the bloody stab wound on his left leg, and ran forward closely after Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui thought he was running slowly, so he held up his arm with one hand and ran all the way.
The ten people disappeared deep into the woods after a few ups and downs.
"Gather the troops and head to Shilipo!"
Fang Jun gave the order, and the troops gathered slowly. Some people were left behind to collect the battlefield and transport the wounded and dead soldiers back to the military camp. Then hundreds of troops crossed the woods and walked up the hill, then climbed over and arrived at Shili Slope by the river.
.
More than a dozen simple houses are scattered on the slopes of the mountain, silent and like ghosts.
There was a lot of noise from hundreds of people marching. Apart from the barking of dogs, there was not a single sound of human beings...
When Fang Jun arrived, Xue Rengui came up to him with a solemn expression and reported: "There was no one in that house and everything was packed clean. It was obviously not a hasty evacuation. It should have been moved for some reason before that.
In addition, this village cannot stay for a long time, and it should be sealed immediately. No one in this village is allowed to leave, let alone anyone from outside."
Fang Jun was shocked and asked: "You mean..."
Xue Rengui nodded and sighed: "It's malaria. Most of the people in the whole village died. There are many people who are still alive who are infected. They will live in a few days."
Fang Jun suddenly realized, no wonder the whole village was so quiet, because the villagers were either dead or waiting to die...
This is the terrifying thing about epidemics, which often cause a village, a town, or even a city to be collectively infected and turn into a dead place.
Someone has already reported to the court that malaria has occurred, but they never expected it to be so serious. Moreover, this place is more than ten miles away from Chang'an, which is very likely to cause the disease to spread to Chang'an City. If so, it will be a battle that can be loaded
A huge disaster in history!
Fang Jun looked stern and said immediately: "Light the torch, set up roadblocks, and immediately block the village. All routes in and out are strictly guarded. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!"
In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be used.
This is definitely not the time to pay attention to kindness and law. Killing may seem barbaric, but once the disease spreads, no one will be able to bear the consequences.
As for whether any uninfected residents in this village will be trapped here and infected, we can only leave it to fate.
If the people here are released, it would be unfair to everyone...
The soldier who led the way was brought to Fang Jun. He was sweating profusely and said uncomfortably: "There is no reason, why did he disappear suddenly..."
After all, whether these spies are caught will directly affect his life or death. Now that the spies are missing, how can he not be anxious?
"How many spies are there in total? What are their physical characteristics?"
Fang Jun asked.
The soldier quickly replied: "There were two people before, a man and a woman. The man wore a bamboo hat and never took it off. The woman was covered with a veil and couldn't see her appearance, but she had a slim figure and a very good figure. She must be a beauty.
Later, another young lady came, she was very pretty... My husband, I really didn’t tell any lies!"
Fang Jun frowned and thought.
These "spies" are not only related to Qiu Xinggong, but also to the Wang family, and even to the Changsun family...
What are these companies doing?
Why did these "spies" suddenly leave?
Did he temporarily leave because he was alerted to the fighting on the mountain, or did he go to deal with it because the planning matter came to a critical moment?
If the young man who was tied up and carried away like a pig were here, he would naturally scream in shock: I just say it, he is really a spy!
