It was warm. After Nalan Jinnian negotiated with the county magistrate and the old doctor, it was completely dark.

The two stayed in the inn.

Eat dinner until late at night.

Nalan Jinnian came to a well with warmth.

"Almost all the people in the west of the city draw water from this well. Today, I also found someone secretly watching the well. The plague patients you diagnosed also live in this area."

"Yes."

I've thought about it. It's better to start with the poor people if we put the focus of the plague.

Because poor people are ill, they usually choose to endure for a few days to see if they can get better. It's getting worse and worse, so they choose to see a doctor.

This delay of a few days can make the plague spread faster.

Moreover, it is not so easy to be found out from the poor people as from the rich people.

After all, rich people are sick and can afford a famous doctor, so it is possible to find the emergence of the plague earlier.

In order to make the plague spread faster, the place where it is put is naturally the water source.

Because everyone can't live without water every day.

Warm squatted down and looked deep into the well.

Nalan Jinnian reached out and grabbed her, worried that she might fall down accidentally.

At this time, the county magistrate hurried over with several yamen guards and old doctors.

Seeing that they were already waiting here, he quickly apologized: "Your Highness King Jin, please make atonement for your late arrival!"

He had come half a quarter of an hour earlier. Unexpectedly, King Jin and Princess Hui'an arrived first.

If you knew, you would be a quarter of an hour early!

Warm stood up, glanced at the long bamboo pole in the yam Chai's hand, waved his hand and said, "we're early. Don't be polite, sir! Please ask someone to salvage it and see if there's anything at the bottom of the well."

"Yes!" The magistrate replied.

Then he said to the two yamen emissaries, "borrow the bamboo pole and fish it out. Is there anything dirty at the bottom of the well!"

"Yes!"

Several yamen messengers responded and hurried to do it.

This well is a deep-water well dug by the government for the people in the west of the town.

The well is very deep. Even in the severe drought that was rare in 50 years ago, the well has not dried up, but the water level is reaching the bottom.

So the Yamen people also know how deep the well is.

They connected three bamboo poles together, and then two people took the bamboo pole and went into the well to salvage it.

Can't see the bottom of the well.

The pressure of well water also disturbs people's judgment.

They stirred at the bottom of the well with their feeling. After a while, they vaguely felt that they had met something.

"There seems to be something!" One of them said excitedly.

"Yes, I feel it too!"

The county magistrate said excitedly, "get it up quickly!"

They stirred in the well water again, and then slowly pulled up the bamboo pole.

Everyone saw a small thing in the net pocket.

"Mouse?!" The magistrate exclaimed.

The yam Chai threw the things in the net pocket to the ground.

In the night, a mouse, which was swollen and white and whose fur began to fall off, lay there quietly.

The eldest husband came down and looked down at the mouse. He was angry: "someone really put plague mice into the well?"

The county magistrate was so popular that he blew his beard and stared: "it's unreasonable! How can such an outrageous thing be done! Who did it?"

Nalan Jinnian said coldly, "keep fishing! See if there's any more!"

Their guess is right when they can salvage it.

Yam Chai quickly put the bamboo pole into the well water and carefully salvaged it again.

Plague rat!

This is no joke!

The more the magistrate thought about it, the more frightened he was. A cold sweat broke out on his back: "Your Highness King Jin, the big thing is bad!"

The water in this well is for the people in the west of half the city!

The population in the west of the city accounts for more than half of the population of the whole town!

The magistrate told the story.

"Will the whole west be infected with plague? But it hasn't happened yet?"

If the whole town is infected with the plague, his little county magistrate will really end up!

Whether someone deliberately dropped the plague rat or not, it was his improper management and gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Besides, King Jin said that maybe the man had not only plague in this town.

A town is enough for him to be afraid. In a few more, his parents can die and apologize!

Warm kept looking at the mouse. When she heard the speech, she looked up at the county magistrate, Reassured: "don't worry, adults. Everyone has some resistance. Besides, everyone will go back to cook and drink when they get the well water. As long as the water is boiled, they won't be afraid to eat again. They are afraid to drink the well water directly. But now the weather is cold, not hot summer. I think most people won't drink raw water directly!"

The county magistrate can't promise!

"I hope so! But some people are thirsty and tired when they come back from work. It's normal to drink directly in the water tank."

Warm nodded: "that's why someone was infected with the plague!"

The county magistrate wants to faint, right!

If someone is infected, it will be transmitted from person to person!

At this time, Yacha fished out another mouse.

Even more dizzy in the county.

I'm dying.

It's almost the end of the year. Such a thing happened!

This year's political achievements are good. The grain of the whole county has doubled several times, because the people in the village do all kinds of small businesses and pay a lot more taxes.

He repaired the water conservancy and built a bridge!

I thought the official position could be raised!

This caused the plague.

I don't dare to mention it. As long as I don't get dismissed!

If he knows who put the plague rat into the well, he will certainly frustrate people!

"Continue!" Nalan Jinnian cold voice channel.

The yam Chai then fished in the well water for a long time. He was sure there was no more, so he gave up.

The county magistrate pointed to several yamen guards: "you burned these two plague rats with fire. Be careful. Don't touch them. You two sealed the well!"

The county magistrate looked at the well with some heartache. What a good well, it was destroyed by two dead mice!

This well has never cut off water.

"Yes!" The Yamen should go down immediately.

Warm then said, "it's not necessary to seal the well. I have a way to make the well water clean. Just deal with the two plague rats."

With warm words, she squatted down. She took out a bottle from her arms, pulled out the cork, and poured the medicine juice in the bottle into the well water.

She put her hands close to the edge of the well, mobilized the purple gas and purified the well water with the purple gas.

Magistrate: ""

Can such a bottle of medicine juice really make the well water clean?

He looked at the old doctor.

The old doctor shrugged. He didn't know!

Next, Nalan Jinnian and the county magistrate went to other wells in the town and salvaged them.

Two dead mice were also fished out of two other wells.

In this way, the night passed and it was almost dawn.

And there are still many things to do on this day.
