Chapter 477: life is more important than money

Chapter 477 Life is more important than money

Xiao Jin tapped on the desk with his well-articulated fingertips, his voice was low and filled with endless coldness, "Your Majesty said, Master Wei intends to corrupt the imperial court's official rations."

Wei Zhongming's knees softened, and he knelt down, "Damn it, I'm just a ghost, my lord, I beg you to speak kindly in front of your empress, and leave the official life, even if it's for your lord to be an ox or a horse." , The subordinate officials also ordered it."

Xiao Jin breathed out lightly, with a trace of tangle between his brows, Wei Zhongming saw that there might be some drama, so he tried harder, "My lord, I haven't touched any of the food in that cave, my servant!" The officer will take the adults to move the grain out."

Xiao Jin raised his black eyes, "Isn't the official rations burned? My lord wants to make up for my fault, at least I have to make up for the burnt official rations, right? Otherwise, I won't be able to go to the empress to plead for mercy." .”

"Master Wei said, yes or no?"

Wei Zhongming opened his eyes in shock and thought he had heard wrong.

He tentatively said, "My lord, those official rations...is it too much? I'm afraid the officials won't be able to raise so much rations in such a short period of time."

Xiao Jin picked up the teacup on the table and pecked lightly, "When I came here, I heard a lot of rumors that were not good for Mr. Wei, saying that there was a drought in Luocheng, but the court didn't receive any news. How should Lord Wei explain this matter to the emperor?"

Wei Zhongming's face turned pale, and he was speechless.

One side is silver, the other side is life, which is more important, Wei Zhongming can figure it out!

Wei Zhongming snatched the land with his head grimacing, "Don't worry, my lord, even if I don't eat or drink this food, I will try my best to dig it out. Please give me some time, my lord."

"Three days, three days later, I will see Mr. Wei's repentance in the granary reserve."

"Three days..."

Xiao Jin raised his eyelids, "Long?"

Wei Zhongming shook his head hastily, "No, no, just three days, just three days!"

"Go."

"Yes, the lower officials are resigning, the lower officials are resigning."

When Xiao Jin returned to the guest hospital, Su Ying had already left the city, so she still wanted to go outside the city to check if there were any uncured patients.

It was just the result that surprised her. The symptoms of all the patients disappeared, and everyone returned to normal. There were no new patients, whether in or outside the city. The virus seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air.

From a medical point of view, it is basically impossible to happen in such a medical environment, unless the transmission of the disease is self-blocking.

"Your Majesty, the first batch of people you want to investigate are all dead."

"All dead?"

"Yes, basically none of these patients survived before being treated by Ms. Zhou. As long as symptoms appear, they will basically die within three to five days."

The fatality rate of this disease is frighteningly high, "Where are the corpses? Where are the corpses of people who died of illness?"

“Burn and landfill.”

"Buried where?"

Zhou Qing went to an official to inquire. An hour later, the official took Su Ying to a barren hill. There was a large piece of refurbished soil on the hillside in front of him.

Su Ying signaled the officer to come over with a shovel, and then asked everyone to retreat to a place far behind, and then put on a gas mask to dig.

One, two, three charred bodies were dug up.

These corpses should have gone through repeated burning, and the corpses had been burnt black and black. Su Ying put on gloves and pulled it out, and found that the internal organs of the corpses were all burnt.

The corpse was burnt to such an extent that it was already difficult to find anything useful from it. Many substances had undergone qualitative changes during the process of repeated burning.

Su Ying dug up a few more corpses. The condition was worse than the previous ones. It was almost unsightly. The bones were so carbonized that they would shatter when touched by a shovel.

She was still unconvinced, and kept digging, and finally dug her a different one.

Judging from the surviving body shape, this should be a female corpse, no, to be precise, this is a pregnant woman.

Su Ying frowned, the corpse was burnt beyond recognition, but her abdominal cavity didn't know if it was because of the fetus, the organs still remained, she took out a big bag and put the corpse in, After that, he put the corpse into the space while no one was paying attention.

Zhou Qing stood behind the forest and stretched her neck to watch. If it wasn't for Su Ying's death order that no one could approach her, she would have gone to help.

The officers and servants stood by the side with unwell expressions, and they all tightly covered their mouths and noses with cloth towels. Even so, they could still smell the soaring stench.

Su Ying dug for two hours and saw that the sun was about to set. She stopped, buried the excavated body, sprayed the whole body with disinfectant, and walked up to Zhou Qing and the others.

"Let's go, go back to the city before dark."

"yes."

After Su Ying returned to the official residence, Xiao Jin was already waiting for her in the guest courtyard.

"Where did the empress go?"

Su Ying said: "I went outside the city to dig up the corpse, but I still want to find out what kind of disease is so strange."

Xiao Jin frowned when he heard the words, "It's too dangerous." They still haven't figured out how the disease is transmitted, those corpses are all poisonous, what if they get infected?

Su Ying did not argue but said: "I will pay attention next time."

Xiao Jin wanted to go forward, but saw Zhou Qing standing motionless in the room by mistake, "You go out first."

Zhou Qing looked at Su Ying without moving, she always felt that the adult's attitude towards the empress was not right, there was no respect for the queen from the courtiers at all!

Su Ying thought that Xiao Jin had something to say to herself, so she asked Zhou Qing to bring the dinner.

Before leaving, Zhou Qing glanced at Xiao Jin warily before turning and leaving.

Xiao Jin sat down next to Su Ying. Even with a mask on his face, Su Ying could see a sense of grievance from his brows, "We will return to Beijing after the people from the Ministry of Industry come over."

Yesterday, Su Ying didn't have time to mention this matter to him. He is now the king of a country, how can he leave Beijing for so long?

"Tell me first, how did you leave Beijing?"

Xiao Jin grabbed her hand and put it to his lips. He wanted to kiss her, but he smelled a faint rancid smell. He paused slightly. She was going to dig up the corpse in the afternoon...

Xiao Jin silently moved the hand on his lips to his heart, "Pretending to be sick."

"Are you so sure that the person in Los Angeles is me, and not a trap set by others?"

Xiao Jin's dark pupils reflected her glamorous appearance, "Wei Zhongming had a detailed description of you in his letter to the capital, and he had deep resentment towards you, every detail of his description was too different from yours." The resemblance is too similar, at that moment I thought it was you, Yingying, I knew it was you who came back."
