Chapter 916: Fate slightly changed and time passed
The plague raged in Qiantang County for about three months and then suddenly stopped.
Just as Lei Hu said, Black Jiao went too far this time and dared to disturb Tai Sui. How could the Song Empire, which was at its peak, let this man go so easily?
This is a place under the tight control of the Divine Court. No matter what the purpose of the Divine Court gods was before, they did not respond to the people's requests, but as long as the black dragon is still wallowing in the mortal world, it cannot escape the surveillance of the Divine Court.
It sounds strange, and I don't know what kind of medicine this fake alchemy black dragon took wrongly. It seems to be against Qiantang County, as if it doesn't feel comfortable if it doesn't make any noise like this.
Even though the innate toxin was released, causing the plague to run rampant in Qiantang County, this guy was still not too far away.
Lei Hu is sitting in the Qin Feng Martial Arts School and can still vaguely sense his location. This shows how bold and reckless this guy is. He is simply a model of not being afraid of death.
With the great national power of the Great Song Dynasty, how could the special yamen under it be simple?
Anyway, not long after the plague was rampant in Qiantang County, the black dragon that did not escape in time was discovered, and naturally a big battle was inevitable.
The aftermath of the spells and demonic power was already very thin in Qiantang County, but Lei Hu could still clearly detect it, knowing that the black dragon was finished, and the plague that was rampant in Qiantang County was about to end.
The facts were as he expected. As the black dragon's aura suddenly disappeared, the plague that was rampant in Qiantang County also slowly dissipated not long after, and the officials and the people recovered from the panic caused by the previous plague.
However, Lei Hu knew that the drinking water source in Qiantang County was leaked by people from the Special Yamen, and it should be related to the guts or blood essence of the killed black dragon. He was not interested in getting to the bottom of it, nor did he want to be tricked by the Special Yamen.
The guy was staring at me, but he had no intention of showing off.
A plague disaster caused by a demon cultivator has dissipated, but the number of gentry and common people in Qiantang County who contracted the disease is not very large. This time, the plague was so violent that it caused great harm to the business environment of Qiantang County.
How to restore the county's commerce and people's livelihood is something that the county magistrate should consider. Lei Hu will naturally not waste his energy on Li County Magistrate, who has a good reputation. He is quite busy now.
This plague took away the lives of some people and also created many orphans. Lei Hu didn't mind at all, as long as all those who had no way out in life were accepted into the martial arts school.
All of a sudden, there were about twenty new disciples in the Qin Feng Martial Arts School. They were both male and female, and they were all young. The oldest was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was still a little baby who struggled to even walk.
He didn't find it too troublesome. Anyway, he had plenty of money on hand. Li Gongfu and other disciples who had left the academy would come back from time to time to help take care of and teach the new junior brothers and sisters. In addition, these orphans were very sensible and knew how to help each other, so it did not consume much of his energy.
On top of this.
The biggest advantage of having all my disciples as agents is that they suddenly become very well-informed.
For example, he learned from a disciple who became a police officer that the owner of Xu's Pharmacy, who was quite famous in the street, also contracted the disease during the plague. His body was severely tortured and he was almost unable to support himself.
At this time, the targeted prescription prepared by Lei Hu was circulated through the channels of the county government. The owner of Xu's Pharmacy used this to stabilize the rapid deterioration of his condition. Later, he spent a lot of money to get it from the county government.
I got a complete prescription and my condition has been completely under control since then.
When the plague dissipated, the owner of Xu's Pharmacy was cured of the disease. Although his body and bones were no longer as good as before and his life expectancy was limited, he finally survived the plague.
As for Boss Xu, he has a son and a daughter. The daughter is in her prime, named Xu Jiaorong, and the son has just become enlightened, named Xu Xian.
Tsk!
Unexpectedly, his casual intervention would affect the lives of the father behind Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong.
In the story of the White Snake, the couple Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong have lost their parents and even their family members. This is really tragic.
In the feudal era, it was quite difficult to live alone without the protection of the clan.
Li Gongfu is better off, he should have become a policeman early on, and he has both abilities and connections, otherwise he would not have become the county government's chief police officer in his prime.
Don't look at the fact that this guy often makes jokes in the TV series. He is not scolded by the county magistrate. He seems to have rubbish abilities, but this is not the case.
Speaking of which, Li Gongfu was unlucky because he was implicated some time after Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen appeared.
It is also Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen who do not understand the rules of the world. Although their behavior has been greatly restrained, they still appear to be extremely bold and unsociable in the strict rules of the human dynasty.
Of course, in the TV series, when Qiantang County Zunyi encounters trouble that cannot be solved, he either scolds Li Gongfu or hits him, or bullies him because he does not have the support of the clan behind him. How about trying to arrest the head instead?
Xu Jiaorong's situation was even worse. A sudden plague took away her father, the mainstay of the family.
How difficult it is for a girl who has just reached her prime to live in the county with a younger brother who has just started his journey. The TV series also briefly introduces that Xu Jiaorong got married very late, and there is a condition that her husband's family must raise her younger brother.
She suffered so much that her family fortune was basically lost.
That is to say, in Qiantang County, a place with prosperous commerce and relatively open folk customs, Xu Jiaorong could reluctantly bring up his younger brother and put forward such 'excessive' marriage conditions.
If it were a country with conservative folk customs, not only would the family wealth be difficult to protect, Xu Jiaorong would not even have the autonomy to marry.
Maybe it was because he suffered enough in his youth that his body and bones were affected. In the TV series, the two of them were married for about ten years without any success, and it wasn't until Xu Shilin was born that they gave birth to a daughter.
The situation is very different now. Li Gongfu's father Li Captou is still alive. Although he has asked the county magistrate to go back to his hometown in the countryside to take care of his old age, he is still alive after all. Whether it is the relationship in the yamen or the network outside.
It didn't stop, Li Gongfu has now become a head catcher, and his life is quite easy and comfortable.
Not to mention, Li Gongfu's martial arts skills are astonishing. He can at least be ranked among the top three in Qiantang Hall. With such ability, who dares to mess around?
Xu Jiaorong's condition has also improved greatly. Again, although her father's body is about to collapse due to the disease, he can no longer serve as a director and continue to manage the pharmacy.
But he himself is still alive after all. Even if Xu Jiaorong still has to take care of the house and sort out the drug store business, it is always easier than the difficulty of losing his father's protection, isn't it?
However, this person's marriage may still be difficult, and he will most likely have to marry Li Gongfu.
Lei Hu smiled slightly. He had no intention of actively interfering. Unexpectedly, his casual actions still had an effect. At least Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong were affected, and their future life would naturally be much easier than before.
…
In the next three years, Qiantang County remained calm without any further accidents.
The stable environment of three years has been enough for Qiantang to regain its former prosperity and return to the bustle of prosperous commerce and large flows of people.
During the Qiantang River tide every year, there are still many outsiders who come to watch it. The enthusiasm of the wealthy and literati is not frightened away because of previous accidents.
It's just that in the past three years, the number of guards who come to watch the big tide has increased significantly, and the quality has also obviously improved to a higher level. Obviously, they are not without any precautions.
The streets in the town are becoming more and more prosperous, and the business travelers traveling from south to north are a bit strange. It feels like the business environment in Qiantang County is a bit stronger than before. As for the specific details, it is difficult to describe it in detail.
However, the order on the streets seems to be better. In the past, those street gangsters who did not like troublesome business travelers rarely came out to find trouble. These two points were enough to make the business travelers traveling from north to south feel very different.
"Captain Li is here, leading people to patrol the streets again!"
"I haven't seen Capt. Li for a few days, but he seems to be in even better spirits than before!"
"Captain Li, would you like some wine and meat? I will only count your expenses as leave!"
"..."
The originally lively and noisy street became even more lively as Li Gongfu came on patrol with several policemen. From time to time, street merchants greeted Li Gongfu, the leader of the group, warmly, as if they were brothers, and they looked at the merchants from out of town.
I was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out what was going on.
In their impression, the police officers in various yamen are not only annoying to people, but at least they are very annoying to the people and merchants. It is a simple operation to eat and get cards, but there are some shady people who see the profitable shops.
, there are even cases of robbery and plunder. Not to mention the destruction of families, there must be a few innocent souls on their hands.
Why does the scene I see now have a subversive and unreal feeling?
"Brother, how do you think your Qiantang head catcher seems to be very popular with the people and merchants?"
Those who were curious, simply grabbed their local business partners and asked curiously: "This is too strange, I know what the trappers from other places are like!"
"Haha, don't you know this?"
The local merchant who was detained was not angry. He smiled and explained: "Our Captor Li from Qiantang is not an ordinary policeman. How can he care about our little wealth?"
"Why, that Capt. Li is so greedy?"
The foreign merchants were startled, and their expressions changed. When they looked at the spies in the crowd, their eyes became a little cold.
"Do not misunderstand!"
The local merchant hurriedly waved his hands to deny it and said with a wry smile: "What I mean is that Capt. Li is extremely capable. He is also a capable person registered in the government office. The market will be invited to the government office to participate in major cases. Just get the government office."
The reward from Mr. Jun and the red seal of thanks from the victim are enough, why waste time and ruin your reputation by targeting small business owners like us? It’s not necessary!”
