The young and strong servants in the mayor's house, and even the nursing staff, were not immune to becoming poisonous people. Even the mayor's son was also a poisonous person.
As for the female relatives in the mayor's mansion, except for those who could not bear the humiliation and died, there was no one who was not ruined.
Before Haitang and others broke into the mayor's mansion, the mayor was also imprisoned in the dungeon and was expected to starve to death in a few days.
Coupled with all these troubles, it is already a miracle that the mayor can survive.
"It's because I, the mayor, have neglected my duties. So many lives have been lost in the town right now. Even the big families have been robbed. How many innocent people have become poisonous people. These crimes may cost our whole family."
I can’t save it. I don’t have anyone available, so I really don’t know what else to do.”
The mayor said, tears streaming down his face.
Covering his face, the mayor cried and cursed, "Those bandits who killed a thousand people! Why didn't God take them all away! We ordinary people didn't do anything harmful to nature, so why don't we let others do it?"
Have a peaceful life for a few days!"
Bai Ling didn't say a word, letting the mayor vent his anger.
Now everyone in the mayor's mansion is crying.
Apart from the older ones, there are only little children and women who have been raped. How can they contain their sorrow?
After the mayor vented his anger, he stood up and bowed to Bai Ling.
"Thank you, Princess, for the rescue, otherwise there would be no one alive in the town. I am old and my brain is not working well, but I will still be the mayor one day, so I can't give up my job, otherwise everyone will not know what to do.
, I would also like to ask the princess for some advice. The old man would like to thank the princess for her great kindness here, and he will repay the kindness to the princess in the next life." The mayor said sincerely.
Bai Ling raised his hand to support him and said: "You can't blame the mayor for this matter. After all, the other party's methods are too vicious and unheard of. But the mayor has a heart to care for the people. This county
The Lord sees it in his eyes and will definitely report it truthfully to the superiors in the future. The top priority right now is to appease the people and rebuild their homes, which will also allow the mayor to take credit for his work."
The mayor did not make any mistakes, but he was managing a town. If such a big thing happened, it was impossible for the court not to investigate.
Removing the mayor's position is inevitable, and no matter how serious it is, it may involve the whole family.
But why is the mayor not a victim?
So Bai Ling expressed his opinion, and the mayor listened carefully.
Money is needed to rebuild homes, people also need food and other materials, and market prices must not be disrupted.
There are also many people who have become orphans and widows, and they should be comforted and taken care of.
But each project requires money to support it, and almost all the property in the mayor's house has been transported away. Naturally, not much can be solved, but the mayor is willing to donate all his family property.
In addition, the several large families whose families were wiped out still had a few things in their houses, but not too much, and the total amount was just a drop in the bucket.
Since Bai Ling was in charge of this matter, he would not give up halfway, so he took out a stack of banknotes.
In addition, Bai Ling also told the mayor that the first house she raided contained a large amount of food and cloth, which could be distributed to the people.
Of course, Bai Ling needs to put these in quietly later. There are plenty of materials in the space, which is enough to save a small town with a small population.
After discussing with the mayor, Bai Ling went to put away food and other items and then returned to the inn.
Now the entire town, under the leadership of the mayor, with Haitang and others spreading their help, is searching for the thieves and trying to catch them all.
As for those poisonous people, they were first placed in the abandoned house. Red cloth strips were tied everywhere in the yard. Even if there were people guarding the front and back doors, there was no need to worry about them coming out to cause trouble.
Bai Ling hid in space again to develop an antidote. This time he didn't go out for two days, and finally found the antidote formula.
However, Bai Ling did not have some medicinal materials in hand, and the drug stores in the town were almost destroyed. Some medicinal materials were deliberately destroyed, and the secret guards could only go out to buy them.
"The whistleblower was not found?" After confirming the prescription, Bai Ling became concerned about the person behind the scenes again.
Despite such a big move in the town, no one came to support the bandits, which shows that they don't want to be caught.
"The town has been searched. All the people hate those people to the core. They want to kill the bandits themselves at the risk of their lives. It is impossible for them to harbor them," Haitang said.
"Could that person be from the town?" Bai Ling guessed.
"What do you mean, Master?" Haitang suddenly raised his head, and when Bai Ling nodded, he immediately turned around and left.
Bai Ling didn't stop Haitang. Judging from her appearance, she might be suspicious.
The secret guard returned after a day's work, and Bai Ling immediately took Haitang and others to prepare the medicine.
Poisonous people are like zombies during the day, but at night they all automatically sleep, which is the best time to detoxify.
Haitang did not capture the whistleblower in the end, but it was determined that the whistleblower was a local gangster in the town. The mayor had already asked someone to draw a portrait. While the whole town wanted him, he also gave a copy to the county government.
Because there was an order issued by Shangguan Yu's secret guard, and the safety of several nobles like the Bai family was involved, the county magistrate quickly ordered the county government's arrests, and even persuaded several wealthy families and escort agencies to let them
He also sent people to follow him to help out.
After the poisoner who had been poisoned for the shortest time was detoxified, the county magistrate also arrived with his troops.
Speaking of which, the county magistrate was also afraid of death and would wait until enough people were gathered before coming to the rescue.
If Bai Ling hadn't had room to cheat and brought Haitang and other experts with him, the county magistrate would have had no choice but to collect the body if he came over.
"Thank you, Lord County Magistrate, for coming with you all. It has been a hard journey. I will explain everything in detail to you after the meal." Bai Ling's identity means that he does not need to salute the County Magistrate. Instead, he accepts the county magistrate's invitation.
Let the others bow.
Seeing Bai Ling being so polite, the county magistrate was flattered.
Although the town is much cooler now, with white lanterns hanging everywhere, there is nothing scary after all, and the county magistrate feels much more at ease.
After dinner, Bai Ling and the mayor talked to the county magistrate alone in a room, telling the magistrate all about the situation in the town.
As for the people behind the scenes, it is naturally up to the county magistrate to investigate and report to the court.
"Those people were all desperadoes, so there were only a few alive. Due to the weather, most of the corpses had been cremated to prevent it from developing into an epidemic.
As for the poisonous people, adults can take people to see them. We are currently in the detoxification stage and it is not convenient for adults to take them away. The only thing that can be determined is that these people became what they are now because of poisoning and are not contagious." Bai Bai
The spirit’s final concluding words.
The county magistrate originally wanted to take away a few poisonous people, but after hearing what Bai Ling said, it was hard for him to make any further demands, otherwise he, as a parent-official, would not care for the people below him.
"In this incident, the mayor was also a victim. Not only did he lose most of his family property, but many people in his family were also harmed. After the mayor was rescued, he immediately mobilized all the people to rebuild their homes and devoted all his family wealth to help everyone. He also won a lot of praise.
I am loved by the people. Please tell me the truth when you submit your report." Bai Ling glanced at the mayor and said again.
The county magistrate has been an official for many years, so he understands what Bai Ling means, so he said: "This is natural. I will not favor bad people, let alone let the meritorious people feel cold. It's just that this matter is too serious, I'm afraid that I
With the protection of officials, the mayor can at most offset his merits and demerits."
"Your Excellency, you are interested." Bai Ling took out a brocade box, opened it in front of everyone, and said: "This is my princess's intention, please accept it. Those families who are willing to send people to help, and
The princess has also arranged to express her gratitude to everyone who came here despite the danger." (To be continued)
