Chapter 365 Weird, weird

"If I remember correctly, when my father entered Shangjing, he had people send food and medicinal materials. Where are those food and medicinal materials?"

"This... we have never seen medicinal materials, let alone food."

Li Zheng is about to cry but has no tears. Although he is a small Li Zheng, he is not a serious official.

Ever since the plague broke out in Pingyang Town, it felt like a huge mountain was weighing on his shoulders.

How could this not be reported as soon as possible?

But after reporting the matter, they had been waiting arduously for four or five months, without receiving anyone from the government, let alone food and medicinal herbs.

He looked troubled: "A lot of people have come, but they are not here to save us, but... they are here to burn those who have the plague."

"He also said that this was an order from the imperial court to prevent the plague from spreading to Beijing."

"Are these words said by people from the government?" Baozhu asked.

Li Zheng quickly sat up straight: "This matter is absolutely true, we...we don't dare to hide anything."

Seeing that Baozhu was not very old, but the aura around him was so strong that Li Zheng broke out in a cold sweat.

There is nothing to hide.

Baozhu thought for a moment and then asked about the situation in Pingyang Town.

"You said that the plague was first discovered in Luoxia Village, but yesterday I heard from the villagers in Kaoshan Village that all the villagers in Luoxia Village were burned to death. Is this true?"

A whole village of people, with hundreds of lives, would be burned to death.

Why are you so impatient?

Is there some ulterior secret in it?

Bao Zhu doesn’t believe it. Not only the people of Luoxia Village are affected by the plague, why are they only burning the villagers of Luoxia Village and not the other villages?

"That's not the case. The first one discovered was Dahe Village."

Li Zheng shook his head and said.

"As for why the government wanted to burn Luoxia Village to death, I...I don't know either."

Li Zheng is about to cry but has no tears, he is just a little Li Zheng.

"On that day, more than a thousand people from the government came, all riding horses and carrying swords. Before I had time to figure out the situation, I found that the entire villagers of Luoxia Village were killed, and then the whole village was burned down."

When I think of that day, the miserable scene is like purgatory on earth.

Far away, one can hear the pitiful cries of the villagers of Luoxia Village.

"I, I saw it too. Those people were wearing black clothes and the knives in their hands were so long. They looked scary."

Huang boldly walked in from outside and described to Baozhu the appearance of the people in the government.

This made Baozhu even more confused. After his description, the clothes worn by these people definitely did not belong to the government.

But where did the food and herbs her father sent from the court go?

Tell Baozhu directly that Luoxia Village has an ulterior secret, and I'm afraid the county magistrate also has an ulterior secret.

"Jane Zishi, go and call a few people over and come with me to Luoxia Village."

"I can't go, I can't go!"

A crazy old man suddenly jumped out of Kaoshan Village and stopped Baozhu and the others.

"Second uncle!"

Huang boldly ran over and hugged the crazy second uncle: "Female young master, this is the second uncle of our family. Since that day, he has become crazy. Every night, he stands at the entrance of the village and looks towards Luoxia Village, saying... talking about Luoxia.

The ghosts of Xia Village are asking him for help."

"They also said that because we failed to save them, the dead villagers in Luoxia Village are cursing us, causing our whole village to be infected with the plague, and then we will be burned to death by the government like them."

This is outrageous.

Jin Zimin walked out from outside, followed by dozens of selected people.

"Take him with you, let's go to Luoxia Village." Baozhu pointed at the crazy second uncle and got on the horse without saying a word.

"Female young master, you can't take my second uncle with you. The second uncle is really crazy and doesn't know anything." Huang boldly wanted to catch up, but was stopped.

Li Zheng's face was full of doubts as to why Baozhu brought the crazy second uncle to Luoxia Village.

There is only an iron cable bridge between Kaoshan Village and Luoxia Village. The iron cable bridge crosses both sides of the river bank. The rivers on both sides are rushing and I don't know where it flows.

"In front of the young master is the chain bridge. We can't ride across it on horseback, we can only walk across it."

Jin Zimin got off his horse, walked to the edge of the chain bridge, checked the chain and came back to tell Baozhu.

Baozhu glanced at the other side of the river from a distance, always feeling that he was missing something.

That group of people rode horses and killed all the villagers on the other side of the river. How did they get there on horseback?

"Look for other bridges nearby."

Bao Zhu glanced around, feeling suspicious.

Jin Zishi nodded and immediately asked people to search around. Soon everyone who searched got an answer: "Female Young Master, I searched all over but couldn't find a bridge that can cross the river on horseback. There is only this iron chain bridge."

"Okay, I understand. Leave a few people to guard here, and the rest will cross the river with me."

Baozhu walked to the edge of the chain bridge, looked down at the rusty chain bridge, and became more doubtful.

Such a chain bridge can only withstand the weight of two adults at a time.

"No, there must be other roads here. You continue to let people search upstream and downstream of the river."

Baozhu didn't believe it. This iron cable bridge was obviously manipulated.

Maybe it will break when it reaches the middle of the river, and people will fall into the river together with the bridge.

Jin Zishi could only continue to lead the people along the river, continue walking up, and finally found an arch bridge one mile away.

Just now, because of the steep terrain and lush trees on the mountain, the bridge was covered with moss and some vines. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't have thought it was a stone bridge.

"The young master has found it. There is indeed a bridge ahead."

Now even Li Zheng was surprised. He didn't expect that there was really a bridge.

He looked at the orb in surprise, wondering how the young lady knew that there was a bridge ahead.

"Leave a few people to guard the bridge, and the rest will go to Luoxia Village with me."

Just in case, Bao Zhu asked people to stay on both sides of the bridge. He took a dozen people with him and rode to Luoxia Village.

After the entire Luoxia Village was burned by the fire, the surrounding plants and houses were turned into black charcoal. It seemed that the fire was not ordinary.

In Luoxia Village, not even a single person could be seen, and the silence was terrifying.

When we walked into the village, the houses were all burned down and we couldn't see the original appearance clearly.

Bao Zhu took the people around the village and found nothing suspicious.

We could only take the people back to the entrance of the village and look at the big clock hanging at the entrance of the village and the well next to it.

Baozhu walked to the well and looked down, but found nothing unusual: "You all search everywhere to see if there is anything suspicious, including anyone suspicious."

Time passed little by little, and Baozhu stood at the entrance of the village, as it got dark.
